My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!
Chapter 512 A treasured land in troubled times
Chapter 512 A treasured land in troubled times
The twenty-third year of the Qin Dynasty.
Prince Fusu led an army of 400,000 to attack Chu, falsely claiming 600,000 to drive back the Chu army. Then he slowly advanced within the Chu army, sent out surprise troops to occupy Chu State Shouchun, and defeated most of the Chu State across the board.
But at this time, most areas in the world have stabilized, but many people are living in dire straits.
In autumn, wherever there is no war, it is the harvest season.
Sishui County is no exception, but in a small city, the clouds above the sky here always show the shape of dragons and tigers.
It's the same today, with layers of clouds in the sky, changing into the shape of beasts from time to time.
Sometimes a horse runs by, sometimes a unicorn appears.
The village is surrounded by clear water and green mountains, with Mangdang Mountain in the distance.
This place is called Peixian County. It has abundant water vapor, lush vegetation, and black and gray cooking smoke curling up among the countryside.
The smoke and water vapor blended together, then transformed in the light, blended into the dust, and slowly disappeared.
Peixian County has a prosperous population, and the houses are lined up closely together. The crops in Peixian County grow taller than elsewhere, and the ears of grain are fuller than elsewhere.
To the east are all the large houses with five fronts that were popular in this era, connected to the fields behind them. Some of them cover an area of ten hectares, and some of them cover five or six hectares.
The vast fields are full of domestic cultivators. They wore Gebu clothes, with their arms exposed, working in the sun.
Every domestic cultivator was burnt like charcoal.
To the north are the ancestral cemeteries of various ethnic groups. Over the years, it stood there quietly, blessing the future generations of this area.
Most of the people in Pei County live in the west. These are ordinary homes, most of which have a standard layout with rooms lined up on three sides in a courtyard.
It's not very neat here.
The houses are all based on their surnames, and they are clustered together. There must be a lake and a large yard around each household's settlement.
In addition to some sheep pens, vegetable fields, and fertile fields behind the houses, the family with the largest number of acres only only has about ten acres of land.
Although these families have a large number of households and occupy a very small area, when combined, the size they occupy is comparable to those of powerful families.
People live in piles and piles, very compact. But when looking down from the mountain, the clouds and mist cover the mountainside, and families live together at the foot of the mountain, in a well-proportioned manner.
It's just that this kind of scenery is nothing special in this era.
Just looking at it can make people feel calm and peaceful.
On the mountain road in the distance, three horse-drawn carriages and six ox-carts were slowly moving towards Peixian County.
In the carriage, the curtain was pulled up, and a girl with almond-shaped eyes poked her head out. She had beautiful black hair, clear eyes, a slightly pointed chin, and fair skin.
The girl was wearing a goose-yellow dress. After seeing the human settlement, she rubbed her hands and screamed excitedly.
"We're finally here. After my father settles down, I must take a nice bath. It's been hot and sunny these days, and I can't stand it anymore because I've been traveling day and night."
Her hands were white and tender, pink in the sun.
At this time, the carriage happened to pass through a peach forest. The peaches in the peach forest were just about to be ripe but not yet ripe. In short, they looked very tempting.
Looking at the people in the distance, Lu Pheasant was very excited.
Another little girl in the car also clapped her hands and smiled, "Okay, okay, I want it too. I want to wash it with my sister."
Behind the carriage, there was a cart pulled by oxen. There were more than a dozen boxes on the cart, and a twenty-year-old young man sat on the box.
He held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and said with a disdainful expression, "That's it for a girl's piece."
"Do you know what it means for us to leave our hometown this time? In the future, we will take root in this unfamiliar place. All our past foundations will be abandoned, and everything will have to start again."
The two sisters, Lu Pheasant and Lu Yu, put their heads together and secretly laughed, "Listen, he is so self-righteous again. He doesn't know as many words as we do, and his tone is louder than anyone else's."
The two sisters secretly laughed in the car. On the cart, Lu Shizhi was still shouting loudly.
"God damn Qin!"
"Waging war against the whole world for their own selfish desires has caused us misery. However, the kings of the Six Kingdoms are not good birds. Before they can fight each one, they all scare themselves out of their wits."
"Although Qin is strong, it is unpopular; although the six countries are weak, they all deserve their punishment. Fight, fight, and I will see how long it lasts."
At this time, a tall and straight figure appeared next to Lu Shizhi.
Lu Shizhi looked up.
The man was tall and burly, with a thick beard and eyes like lightning. He gritted his teeth and did not land his fist on Lu Shizhi.
The man drove his horse forward and walked to the front of the carriage. "Father, we are almost there. Should we go and submit documents to the government to settle down first, or should we find a place to stay first?"
In the car, Mr. Lu, who was wearing a green robe, stroked his beard and said, "Find a place first and then settle down. Things on the surface are always secondary."
What Lu Gong likes is that this place is relatively hidden and the war will not spread here.
In troubled times, such a treasured place can provide peace of mind.
Just at this moment, a burly and strong man passed by the village entrance. He was holding a sword and walking on the country road, humming a song very briskly.
But he vaguely heard some noise, and when he turned around, he saw many people coming up the distant hillside.
Liu Ji immediately called out to his friends, "Brothers, a big customer is here!"
Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and others were playing Liubo in the wine shop. When they heard this greeting, they immediately came out.
"Where is it? Where is it?" Fan Kuai wiped his eyes and looked around. Except for mountains, trees, and grass, he didn't see anyone.
"Many wealthy families have come to Peixian County in the past few days, and they all come to seek refuge. Such families have a lot of money. Who among the brothers can marry a girl from such a wealthy family? That will save the father-in-law's property, and can also Get a beautiful wife, the best of both worlds!”
Zhou Bo stroked his beard and smiled, "Brothers, you must seize the opportunity. If you don't get married, when you get really old, not to mention that your wish to stabilize the world will not be realized. Even if you die, there will be no one to set up your grave."
Fan Kuai was still looking around. He didn't notice that Zhou Bo looked at Liu Ji and hit Liu Ji's waist with his arm.
Liu Ji stared at Zhou Bo. Although he knew Zhou Bo was good for him, he didn't want to marry an ordinary girl and spend his whole life struggling for some money like a common man, and then his life would be over.
He was not reconciled.
So I am still unmarried and still have children.
The sound of the carriage on the hillside rang out, but it was like thunder, and it was like an earthquake.
The three of them looked up together, and Liu Ji heard that the voice was not right.
Not only Liu Ji, but everyone in Peixian County was startled by the sound.
Soon, the flag of Qin appeared on the avenue.
Then a tall chariot appeared in front of everyone. It was a real chariot, with one person driving a car, one holding a crossbow, and one holding a long ax.
"One, two, three...twenty-five, twenty-six."
"Twenty-six cars, this must be a Qin nobleman!"
Liu Ji counted the carriages. The number was really astonishing.
It was enough to slaughter a village. . .
