Chapter 487 If betrayal has no price

The road from Nanjun to Yunmengze.

The fields on both sides were already deserted, and there were no traces of farmers on either side.

You know, even after the autumn harvest.

You also need to work in the fields, otherwise the land will not be easy to cultivate next year.

Farmers can only take a break during winter.

But the cold weather is another kind of torture.

At this time, the road surface shook slightly, and a team of thousands of people galloped past.

But even if they are moving quickly, the team's formation is not too scattered, and they can respond at any time even if they encounter a surprise attack.

The team marched until dusk, then stopped and set up camp.

"Who's in control here now?"

Zhao Lang stood high up in the camp and watched his soldiers setting up camp defenses.

This is a hard and fast rule. Even if you know that there are no enemy troops around, this kind of protection cannot be relaxed.

It can save lives in critical moments.

"Master, according to the information collected before, most of them are controlled by the original county guards."

The slave quickly told the information.

This is the benefit of returning to your own territory. All intelligence networks have already been laid out, even the most sketchy information.

You can also have a general understanding of this place.

Zhao Lang nodded.

The situation here is similar to other Chu lands.

The county guards are still the same county guards, and most of the officials are the same officials.

It just changed the banner of Da Chu, just like it was under the rule of Da Qin.

Moreover, Dachu's control over them was even weaker.

Zhao Lang also probably knows how the nobility in various places were enfeoffed before the Qin Dynasty.

Everyone says it is one country, but in fact everyone plays his own role, and no real centralization of power has been achieved.

There is no ability to concentrate on doing big things.

"Compile the list of county guards and senior officials in various places in Yunmengze."

Zhao Lang ordered calmly,

"Tell them that from now on, all counties here will be controlled by Yunmengze."

"They have to play by our rules."

"If anyone disobeys, warn them first. You know how to deal with die-hard elements."

Han Cheng now has Han Cheng to help him watch over Han, but he must control the territory from Yunmengze to Wuguan.

The slave responded quickly and left to do some business.

He is very busy now. After arriving near Yunmengze, he contacted Spider Web and the Despicable One.

The flow of messages has become much smoother.

Zhao Lang looked into the distance, thinking about the next arrangements.

Although he has already obtained the jade pendant of the Korean royal family.

But there is no rush to give it out now, because it was given to the Wei royal family so as not to arouse suspicion.

When you really have that opportunity, give it out directly to confuse the First Emperor.

Let the other party think that you are just thinking about how to save people.

Then attack directly.

Don't give the other party time to react.

If there is no chance, then just replace him honestly and run away.

Anyway, there won't be any problems on the other side of the border.

The Xiongnu seemed to have no intention of going south, and had been attacking the Yueshi and Qiang people, taking advantage of the time when the Qin Dynasty had no time to visit the north to accumulate strength.

The Hu people are being cannibalized to death and cannot harm Da Qin.

And it is even more impossible for Goguryeo. How can those people have such courage?

I just don’t know whether the master and disciple of the Strategist family are dead or not.

I still feel a little uncomfortable without any information.

When the time comes, send a message to Gossip and the others to find out the information.

Just as Zhao Lang was calculating everything, a figure came to his side.

"Alang..."

As soon as Zhao Lang turned around, he saw Ji Wushuang who had resumed her female disguise and identity as a peasant saint, and said with a smile,

"Well, it still looks good."

Of course, the main reason is that when Ji Wushuang used the identity of King Yan, he always liked to stick with him.

It's very uncomfortable.

Ji Wushuang lowered his head shyly, and then said in a low voice,

"Alang, I want to tell you something."

Zhao Lang's expression changed, but he said,

"No matter what the matter is, you have to tell me."

Ji Wushuang said oh, but still said,

"I think I should tell you about this matter. I went to settle the leader's wife and daughter that day."

After saying that, Ji Wushuang stood there obediently, preparing to be scolded.

But Zhao Lang just sighed slightly and said,

"I know."

Ji Wushuang was not one to hide her thoughts.

What's more, in order to prevent any more betrayers, Zhao Lang also asked his slaves to leave a hidden line.

Ji Wushuang's peach blossom eyes widened and she said,

"Alang, you know? Then you..."

Zhao Lang waved his hand and said,

"This matter has passed. Don't worry about it. I just want to tell you why I did this."

Ji Wushuang looked at him obediently.

Zhao Lang pointed to the busy figures in the camp and said,

"Are these people our people?"

Ji Wushuang nodded.

"Yes, they fought and bled for us until they gave their lives."

"They and their families are the ones we want to protect."

"However, if there are more people in the future, some people will always have other ideas."

"There will be traitors."

Even if Zhao Lang feels that he has made the best arrangements for his people.

But there are always some people who will not be satisfied, so it is natural that such people will appear when they are tempted and betrayed.

Ji Wushuang's face suddenly darkened.

Zhao Lang continued,

"If betrayal has no price, then more and more people will betray us."

"And the consequence of betrayal is that your true self will be hurt."

Ji Wushuang said calmly,

"But that leader is already dead."

Zhao Lang nodded and said,

"So, I didn't pursue his wife and daughter anymore."

"But it won't help. Let God decide whether they live or die. Isn't that good?"

Ji Wushuang was silent for a moment.

Zhao Lang asked at this time,

"Why are you thinking of telling me now?"

Ji Wushuang whispered back,

"I asked people to send them away. They should be somewhere else now."

Zhao Lang nodded and then said,

"Then do you know that the person you told me about is mine?"

Ji Wushuang was stunned, then the corners of her mouth twitched, and she was about to cry.

She knew Zhao Lang's temperament.

In this case, how could the mother and daughter survive?

Zhao Lang sighed at this time and said,

"Don't cry yet, I didn't kill them."

Zhao Lang is not a person who kills indiscriminately.

Ji Wushuang pouted and said,

"Without help, they will still die."

Zhao Lang said calmly,

"I won't help them, but the farmers can. As long as the victims are willing to forgive and help the mother and daughter, they can survive."

"We are not qualified to forgive those victims."

Ji Wushuang stopped talking.

She believes in the nature of farmers.

Zhao Lang finally sent Ji Wushuang away and gave him a task.

Rob the rich and give to the poor, get rid of the gentry who are causing trouble to the neighbors, and get some money on the way.

This is in line with Ji Wushuang's temperament.

Last time I arranged for Ji Wushuang to deal with the traitors, but it was a mistake.

Early the next morning, Zhao Lang continued to set off with his people, and he would be able to reach Yunmengze in a few days.

At this time, a fast horse galloped over from the direction of Yunmengze.

The slave came over quickly and reported,

"Master, Chen Sheng reports that the envoy from King Chu Xiong Xin has arrived at Yunmengze!"

"Said he wanted to discuss cooperation with the leader of the farmers!"
