Chapter 137 No Common Sense
Shen Liuzhen finally caught up with him, and the two went straight out of the city gate and stood on the open ground in front of the majestic palace gate.

Ulay turned around bitterly and looked inside.Shen Liuzhen followed his gaze and looked inside, whispering:

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit. Zong Ai can forge His Majesty's oral order to provide them with a justification for their profit. Zong Ai also needs them to be the backing for him to get rid of crimes. Both sides hit it off and it is beneficial. Why not do it?"

When Shen Liuzhen said this, he frowned sadly and said:
"It's just that I never thought that Zong Ai could really murder His Majesty... He is too bold."

Hearing this, Wu Lei bit the blood from the corner of his mouth with hatred. He lost two close relatives in a row and fell into this field again, so that he didn't even know how sad he was, only felt that his hatred was overwhelming, and his mind was full of hatred. Zongai is being hacked into pieces all the time.

But he is not willing to just think like this, if he wants to make it real, he must make it real!

Wu Lei cast his gaze on the gloomy Shen Liuzhen, and asked, "When will you kill that Zongai, I'll give you whatever you want!"

Shen Liuzhen turned his head to look at Wu Lei with blood red eyes. When a gust of wind blew, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile:

"What can the emperor's grandson give to the grassroots?"

This question stunned Wu Lei.

That's right, he is now a young man who has been driven out of the house. He didn't even bring out a piece of clothing. What can he give to others.

Thinking of this, Ulei's face turned pale, and his usual pride and nobility suddenly became panicked.

Shen Liuzhen's big eyes were still looking at him, the dimples on his cheeks were very shallow, he arched his hands and smiled gently at Ulei:

"The grandson of the emperor, take back your position, take it back, Xu Caomin has a bright future, and he is an excellent minister."

Ulay looked at him, puzzled, but more strength and courage surged from the bottom of his heart.

He also seemed very strange why his mood changed because of Shen Liuzhen's words.

Just now, I clearly felt that I had nowhere to go, that I had nothing, and could only leave one life to fight.

Now, he still has one life, but he feels that there are too many things he can do.

His tightly frowning brows were relaxed, and he even smiled slightly, and asked, "You are quite confident...I have nothing, what should I do?"

Shen Liuzhen took another look at the palace gate, grabbed Wu Lei's sleeve and left, saying, "It's important to run for your life first."

……

……

The humidity and heat in the southwest really made Xie Yuan not feel that it was autumn, but it was a bit cooler. During the year she stayed here, she had already started to miss the severe winter and snow in the north.

Xie Yuan rode on a horse and followed the fast-advancing team, looking at the earthen fortress in the distance, and the archery hole left on the high part of the fortress, with the tip of the arrow faintly protruding from the hole.

She frowned slightly, held the bow and arrow in her hand, and began to visually measure the range.

The Southwest King had already been put to death in the last decisive battle, but he was gone, and the forces under him were working on their own, and they were still in a confrontation with the court.

So the master gave an order to completely defeat their armed forces before they find a leader and gather their strength again. This matter will be considered completely over.

So Xie Yuan, like the other chief guards, each brought his own men, and with the camp as the center, attacked those stubborn forces one by one.

The mountains and forests here are rugged, there are gullies everywhere, and the vegetation is lush, which is not as open as the land in the north.

So there are no very thick walls.

Often a mountain, a valley, or a round earth castle built are the sites that they refuse to defend.

At the beginning, because they were not familiar with the terrain and were not used to fighting in the mountains and forests, they were attacked everywhere and suffered a lot.

Later, thanks to Xie Yuan, while looking for food, he organized soldiers to divide into two camps in the forest for actual combat exercises.

Although it's the same as playing, but at least I got used to it slowly. Compared with being attacked inexplicably at the beginning, I don't even know where the enemy may come from. I don't know how much stronger, at least I have a lot more vigilance.

Seeing that the master was so effective, he insisted on a truce with the opponent for more than two months, pulled this method to the entire army, and took the time to do a new training.

In this way, they were half groping, half scrambling with their lives, and only after paying nearly half the price of casualties, they defeated the main force of the Southwest King, and the rest were relatively easy to deal with.

But... that is also relative.

What Xie Yuan and the others had to deal with right now was an earthen castle built on the edge of a cliff.Three stories high, the upper floor is covered with a lookout roof, and a row of archers.Even the bottom two floors have holes for shooting arrows, covering the range that can be covered by the front of the fortress.

This is a tough nut to crack.

"God of Wealth" also frowned again and again, and said:
"It's really bad luck for us to be sent to this position... I'd rather fight in the valley."

Xie Yuan waved his hand suddenly, and said to the messengers beside him: "Stop marching. Call all the corporal leaders to discuss countermeasures."

"Yes..." The messenger responded, kicked the horse's belly, and rushed out along the road.After a while, he heard the sound of him shouting loudly.

Xie Yuan got off his horse, and the "God of Wealth" also got off the ground, stood beside him, and said:
"Hey... just this ruined earthen building. If there is a trebuchet for attacking the city, it will smash it through two or three times."

Xie Yuan turned his head to look at him, and asked, "I know the manufacturing diagram of the trebuchet, can you make it? Or build one on the spot, anyway, there are many trees here."

"God of Wealth" was dumbfounded, looked at Xie Yuan and said in disbelief:
"I said Master Wei... Sometimes I really can't tell whether you are smart or stupid. Can you make it if you have the blueprint? Do you let the soldiers chew it out for you? Besides, even if you gnaw If you can barely make one, you have to gnaw several stones and projectiles to get it out!"

Xie Yuan sighed, and said: "...If you can't, then you can't, why are you so anxious?"

"Can I not be in a hurry?! You are a child of an aristocratic family, and you are always so ignorant of common sense..." "God of Wealth" said excitedly.

Suddenly seeing Xie Yuan's Danfeng eyes turned coldly, he quickly swallowed the last word "disgusting" into his stomach.

He didn't want to be thrown and humiliated in public...

"This... hehe, no one is perfect. Chief Wei has achieved such an achievement at a young age. Is it normal to have no common sense?" The God of Wealth said with a smile on his face.

Xie Yuan was full of thoughts on how to use the least sacrifice to take down this earthen castle, and he didn't want to argue with him.So I rolled my eyes and pretended I didn't hear it.

After a while, the five corporal leaders gradually gathered.

　Damn, I'm really getting late, I need to update earlier... Otherwise, wouldn't it be sudden death if this continues?
