My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 430 The mouse becomes the cat’s bridesmaid! Ying Chengyu is here to collect debts!

Chen Li's posture was good, and Yao Jia quickly stopped laughing and scolding the thieves.

In just an instant, Yao Jia's attitude changed from a thieves to a respected minister!

With a dignified manner, Yao Jia bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "Yao Jia, the Qing Qing of the Qin Dynasty, has met Chen Yishi and all the righteous people!"

Its sound is as loud as a bell, and its energy is as steady as a mountain.

Although he was standing alone among the water bandits, he exaggerated the solemnity of the court meeting and made the bandits look at each other in confusion.

The thieves suddenly realized that the person who had just discussed with them how many ways women could play and how many ways men could play was not only one of their comrades, but also one of the top leaders of the most powerful country today!

When he was happy, Yao Jia could talk to them about interesting things in a clear and logical manner.

If they offend him, Yao Jia can kill them with just one order!

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

But the solemn look on Yao Jia's face disappeared in an instant, and he put on a gentle smile again: "There are plenty of fish and shrimps in Daze."

"The fertile fields are densely covered in the great swamp."

"Everyone who comes and goes is a righteous man,"

"Where did this mean place come from?"

"Chen Yishi is too modest."

The somewhat ambitious water bandits raised their heads proudly.

The Chu State's bandit-suppressing army had already been transferred to the front line before they had time to bite Peng Lize's hard nut.

This allowed Peng Lize to focus all his energy on reclaiming wasteland.

Most of the islands in the lake that used to be overgrown with weeds have now been turned into fertile farmland.

In late autumn last year, there was already a harvest scene of wind-swept wheat waves in Pengli Ze.

They can have enough to eat! How can this not make them proud!

However, Chen Li's eyes became increasingly wary: "Yao Shangqing has given you too much praise."

"Even if my brothers and I try our best to cultivate the land, we can only turn the acres in the lake into lower fields. There are only a few patches of middle fields, and there is not even a single fertile field."

"I'm just a bunch of savages who don't want to cause trouble. I try my best to get enough food, that's all."

"I really don't deserve Yao Shangqing's praise."

In the eyes of the powerful people of Chu State, all the good things in the Chu land, such as fertile land and beauties, belong to the powerful people.

Only those things that they don't like will be fought over by the common people and thieves.

Chen Li didn't know if Yao Jia would be as greedy as the dignitaries of Chu State. Seeing that they had cultivated some acres of land, he fell in love with Penglize.

If Yao Jia falls in love with Peng Lize, there will be a bloody battle in the future!

Seeing that Chen Li was so vigilant, Yao Jia knew that he could not continue to test.

If the deal continues, not only will Yao Jia be unable to get any useful information from Chen Li, but he may be driven out of Penglize by Chen Li!

Therefore, Yao Jia shook his head helplessly: "If Chen Yishi's words reach the ears of Chang'an Lord."

"I don't know what Mr. Chang'an will think."

Chen Li unconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and his muscles all over his body were tense. His whole body had subconsciously entered a fighting state, and his voice became colder and colder: "Yao Shangqing intends to threaten me with Lord Chang'an!"

"Chen knows that Lord Chang'an has been victorious in consecutive battles. He is truly an unparalleled general. He has the power of Lord Wu'an in the past."

"Chen also knows that the Lord of Chang'an built the Chang'an plow, which will greatly benefit Guizhou in the world."

"Of course, Peng Lize belongs to us!"

"Even if Lord Qin Chang'an leads a large army to besiege Penglize, we will surely rely on every waterway and island in Penglize."

"Fight to the end with Lord Chang'an!"

Facing every group of officers and soldiers who came to suppress the bandits, Chen Li would make such a declaration.

Although Tao Guang and Wu Zhe didn't know why the conversation broke down, they both shouted angrily:

"Protect my homeland! Fight till the end!"

Following the noise from the island in the middle of the lake, the roars of the water bandits in Penglize were heard one after another from the surrounding islands:

"Protect my homeland! Fight till the end!"

No matter who comes, no matter which group of bandits are attacked, as long as officers and soldiers come to attack, I, Peng Lize, all the water bandits will definitely help!

Faced with the threat announcement that resounded throughout Penglize, Yao Jia did not panic in his eyes, but felt a little relieved: "When Chang'an Lord sent Chang'an plows into Penglize, many people tried to dissuade him."

"Why pay such a huge price to help a group of water bandits!"

"Chang'an Jun, regardless of the loss, is determined to send Chang'an plows into the major swamps."

"Now we know that Lord Chang'an is indeed Lord Chang'an."

"You righteous men also deserve Chang'an Lord's help!"

Hearing Yao Jia's words, Chen Li was stunned: "Chang'an Li was sent to Penglize by Chang'an Lord?!"

Chen Li knew that the Chang'an plow was developed by Ying Chengyu.

This is the treasure that allows the water bandits in Penglize to survive. How could the water bandits not inquire more about it.

All the bandits in Chu, including Chen Li, silently expressed their feelings for Ying Chengyu.

But not a single bandit thought that this Chang'an plow was given to them by Ying Chengyu!

Yao Jia asked, "Is it hard to believe it?"

"Except for Lord Chang'an who developed the Chang'an plow, who can transport a large number of Chang'an plows into the Chu land so quickly and give them to you?"

Chen Li refuted flatly: "Of course, Lord Chang'an is the son of King Zhuang Xiang, the younger brother of King Qin, a royal family member, the Zongzheng Cheng of Qin State, and a general who has fought and won consecutive battles!"

"How could such people give the Chang'an plow to us!"

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

As a member of the royal family, Ying Chengyu should treat the common people like cattle and horses and thieves like running dogs like the nobles of Chu State. How could he say such words to encourage the untouchables!

As a general, Ying Chengyu should confront the bandits tit for tat. The gifts given to each other by both parties should only be blades and arrows. How could it be a Chang'an plow!

Unless the mouse is the cat's bridesmaid, Chen Li definitely doesn't believe Yao Jia's words!

Yao Jia took a step forward and said softly: "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"

"These are the words given by Lord Chang'an to all the righteous men."

Chen Li looked at Yao Jia coldly.

This sentence has already spread throughout the green forests of Chu State along with Zhuang Jia's activities.

Yao Jia knows this sentence, but it doesn't mean anything. Yao Jia continued: "It is not a shame to be born in a humble family. A husband who can bend and stretch is a husband!"

"These are the words given to me by Lord Chang'an."

There was obvious astonishment in Chen Li's eyes: "It's not a shame to be born in a humble family. How can you be a husband if you can bend and stretch yourself?"

As he chewed it carefully, Chen Li felt that although this sentence had a different focus and pursuit than "Princes, generals, ministers, would rather have their own kind", the core idea was similar.

Chen Li asked in disbelief: "Is this what Lord Chang'an said?"

"Chang'an Jun can say such a thing!"

Yao Jia said calmly: "I will not, nor do I deign to deceive you with the reputation of a Great Qin Jiuqing or a Great Qin Young Master."

"Both these two sentences were spoken by Lord Chang'an."

"Although my king has never said such words, my king's thoughts are consistent with those of Chang'an Lord."

"Otherwise, how could I have jumped from being a great thief of Liang to being a great minister of Qin!"

Ying Chengyu's words moved people's hearts.

Yao Jia’s experience is even more ironclad proof!

However, even so, Chen Li and other water bandits still couldn't accept it: "But, how is this possible!"

"That is Lord Chang'an of the Qin State. How can he think highly of us and even encourage us and help us with words!"

"This is unreasonable! A noble person shouldn't be like this!"

Chen Li and others were shocked, and Yao Jia couldn't help but feel emotional.

Yao Jia knew that even Ying Zheng only valued Yao Jia because of his abilities and was willing to give him full respect and understanding.

But Ying Chengyu was different.

As one of the most respected people in the world today, he can understand the suffering of the common people, the helplessness of the bandits, and the unwillingness of the servants. Not only does he not care about their past, he is even willing to help them become upright people!

What a division and contradiction!

In the whole world, Yao Jia will never find another noble person like Ying Chenglong!

But now is not the time to sigh.

Seeing that Chen Li's defense had cracked, Yao Jia took advantage of the situation and delivered the final critical blow.

"You may not trust me, but can you still trust Mr. Jia?" As he spoke, Yao Jia held up a bamboo tube with both hands.

Chen Li quickly took the bamboo tube handed over by Yao Jia with both hands, and took out a bamboo slip from his arms.

Facing the sunlight, Chen Li compared the seal on the bamboo tube with the seal on the bamboo slips. After confirming that they were from the same seal, he excitedly broke the seal and took out the bamboo slips inside the tube.

[Brother Chen and my friend, I see words like faces. 】

[Because the Chu dignitaries did not allow Chang'an Li to enter, Jia was entrusted by Qin Chang'an Lord to send Chang'an Li to Chu to feed all the people and avoid famine for Chu's young servants and righteous men. 】

[Qin Changanjun is a sincere and benevolent person! 】

[Now the Lord of Qin Chang'an has something important to ask for help from all the righteous people, and it is inconvenient for him to go there in person, so he writes a letter to inform him. 】

【Jia. 】

Chen Li's hands holding the bamboo slips were trembling: "This is really the case!"

"Mr. Chang'an is indeed the benefactor we have been waiting for!"

Without Yao Jia's foreshadowing, Chen Li would have doubted the authenticity of this letter now.

But with Yao Jia's early preparation, this letter became the last straw that crushed Chen Li's hesitation!

Closing the bamboo slips, Chen Li slowly exhaled a breath and held his hands solemnly: "Chen doesn't know that it was Chang'an Junte who gave the Chang'an plow to us."

"Chen didn't even know that Yao Shangqing was actually sent by his benefactor!"

"There is so much neglect, I hope you will see Yao Shangqing and Haihan."

The water bandits were in an uproar when they heard this: "It turns out that the person who gave us the Chang'an plow is actually the Lord of Chang'an!"

"How could Lord Chang'an, as a noble person, help us like this!"

"What else could it be for? It must be just like other nobles who want to take advantage of us!"

"We thought Mr. Jia was a righteous man, but we never thought... Alas, now that Lord Chang'an has shown kindness, we can only repay with our lives, otherwise, it would be unjust!"

The eyes of Wu Zhe and others were complicated.

Sure enough, there is no free corn in the world.

Every offer of help has a price clearly marked on it.

How can help exist without any need for repayment!

Now, isn't this just about collecting debts?

Chen Li turned around and shouted: "The benefactor's envoy has come, what should we do?"

Although Wu Zhe and other water bandits were in complicated moods, they all raised their weapons and shouted loudly:

"welcome!"

While shouting and drinking, the water bandits quickly lined up on both sides, forming a road leading from the original place to the wooden house.

Chen Li laughed heartily: "Hurry and prepare for the banquet, I will welcome guests at the banquet!"

Immediately Chen Li said with his right hand: "Yao Shangqing, please!"

Yao Jia returned the gift with his hands raised: "Thank you very much, Chen Yishi!"

Following Chen Li into the wooden house, the two took their seats as guest and host, and a group of water bandits lined up to serve as escorts.

Before the food was served, Chen Li had already opened the seal of a wine jar and filled the wine bottles for the two of them himself.

Lifting up the pottery bowl, Chen Li said loudly: "For the previous offense, Chen will give Yao Shangqing a bowl!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Li raised his neck and put a bowl of wine into his mouth.

Yao Jia also smiled and said: "Chen Yishi is really generous!"

While talking, Yao Jia also raised his head and drank the wine from the bowl.

"Ha~" Ha said bitterly, and Chen Li went straight to the point: "Since my benefactor sent Yao Shangqing here, I think it will be useful to us."

"Please also ask Yao Shangqing to speak clearly."

"All the good men and women in my family, Peng Lize, who have received the kindness of Lord Chang'an are willing to die for Lord Chang'an!"
