Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 169 Liu Ji of Pei County
In Pei County, two people came out of the county government.

One of the people wearing an official uniform and a crown was Shen Shiqi, who became the head of the county after Xiao He was transferred away, and the other was Liu Ji, the head of the Sishui Pavilion.

"I'm talking about the chief examiner, isn't this year's hard labor already completed? How come there are so many?" Liu Ji asked with some distress.

Liu Ji was just a local ruffian when he was young, because his father, Liu Xing, didn't want his son to get into too many troubles, so he planned a job for him as the head of the pavilion.As a result, the family situation of the Liu family, which was not wealthy at all, gradually declined day by day, and became an ordinary family with less than [-] acres of land.

After becoming the head of the pavilion, Liu Ji did not disappoint his father.Not only was the Surabaya Pavilion managed very well, but also the friends I made before had a good time.Officially, there is Shen Shiqi as a good friend, and secretly there are many local hooligans from Surabaya Pavilion who respectfully call him the eldest brother, making him a little famous in the whole Pei County.

Because Liu Ji has a good relationship with Shen Shiqi, the Surabaya pavilions that are far away each time are the least among the pavilions in all townships.Most of the hard labor served by Sishui Pavilion was in Pei County, or only in Sishui County.

This time Hu Hai succeeded to the throne and asked to recruit civil servants to speed up the construction of the Efang Palace and the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.After consideration, the county magistrate of Pei County called the officials in the county to discuss, and the final result was that each township and pavilion would distribute a hundred people equally.

Liu Ji and the heads of the townships and pavilions of each township and pavilion went to the county government for a meeting, and agreed when to lead the laborers to Xianyang.

"This is the order of the second emperor, and it cannot be changed!" Shen Shiqi knew what Liu Ji was thinking, and immediately refused.

"The people from other townships who went out to do hard labor have not come back yet! This time, my hundreds of people are in danger!" Liu Ji said with some concern.

"Your Sishui pavilion is full of bad luck, isn't it true that the people in other township pavilions are also bad and bad? As long as you work hard, I believe you will come back one day!" Shen Shiqi first reprimanded, and then comforted Liu Jidao.

"Okay! I'll go back this time and gather some people, and I'll gather all these hundred young men!" Liu Ji knew that there was no way to change it, so he promised Shen Shiqi.

"I said Liu Ji, there is not much time left for you! You will have to take Ding Zhuang to Xianyang in three days at most, otherwise it will be a waste of time! At that time, even I can't save you!" Shen Shiqi faced Liu Ji warned ten thousand times.

"I understand!" Liu Ji nodded heavily knowing what would happen if he wasted time.

After finishing speaking, Liu Ji turned and left in some embarrassment.He understood that this time was not like before, and even Shen Shiqi couldn't change the labor of going to Xianyang to build the mausoleum.

"Uncle, why did you call me back?" Xiang Yu returned to Jinting Island with a group of Xiang's children who had grown up and arranged to enter the navy.

"Yu'er, the first emperor is dead! The second emperor succeeds, so we can raise the banner against Qin?" Xiang Liang heard the news of Ying Zheng's illness and death, and he couldn't bear the ambition in his heart.

"Uncle! It's not the time yet! Although there are undercurrents in Qin State today, my Xiang family can't be the anti-Qin No. Becoming the target of public criticism in the world. This is not in line with my original intention!" Xiang Yu said to Xiang Liang.

Xiang Yu's words caused Xiang Liang to extinguish the burning flames in his heart, and fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Liang, I agree with what Yu'er said! If the Xiang family rises first to fight against Qin, it will bring great reputation. But at the same time, it will also face the crazy attack of millions of troops from the tyrant Qin! The Xiang family now controls The [-]-strong army still belongs to the Qin army in name. Although many clans in the entire Kuaiji County know the true identities of Duke Liang and the Xiang family, it does not mean that everyone in the world knows. At that time, the Xiang family will definitely be punished by the world. This will affect the people with lofty ideals in the six countries, so that there are very few soldiers." Fan Zeng also played his role at this time, and truthfully expressed his thoughts when Xiang Liang was meditating.

Listening to Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Liang, who originally wanted to raise troops to recover Chu and revitalize the Xiang family, seemed to have been poured with a large basin of cold water.After a long time, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I was too impatient! Fortunately, there are Yu'er and Mr. Fan, otherwise it will be a big mistake!"

"I, Xiang Yu, understand what uncle is thinking, but please be patient! We have endured it for more than ten years, do we still care about how many more years?" Seeing Xiang Liang's dejected expression, Xiang Yu comforted him.

"How many years? Yu'er, did you know something in advance?" Xiang Liang originally heard Xiang Yu's words and thought he was comforting himself.But after hearing a few important words, he asked.

Xiang Liang knew that Xiang Yu was very close to Xu Fu and Lu Sheng's apprentices.There is also a man named Kuai Tong from Donghai County who has pledged his allegiance to Xiang Yu. This person has a friend who is also a famous alchemist.Xiang Liang thought that these people should have figured out something, and it happened that Xiang Yu also knew about it.

"Uncle just needs to know that in a few years at most, the Qin Dynasty will fall apart! Moreover, the world will definitely be full of heroes. The six kingdoms will also take this opportunity to re-emerge! Others, don't ask any more questions!" Xiang Yu listened to Xiang Yu Liang asked with a headache.Xiang Yu can't answer otherwise. Could it be that he told Xiang Liang that he came through time travel?Obviously not, so Xiang Yu can only say so!
Xiang Liang nodded and didn't say anything else.

"Brother Ji, do we really have to go to Xianyang? Is there no other way?" Lu Wan asked Liu Ji who had already notified each household that they needed to be drafted to go to Xianyang and returned home.

"I can't even interrogate the Chief Registrar. What can I do? Now there is no other way but to go to Xianyang!" Liu Ji said with a little anger in his heart, but also a little helpless.

"The brothers under our command can gather at least 20 people, plus those who have been favored by you, Brother Ji, should be able to gather 80 to 20 people. But there is still a gap of more than [-] people, what should we do?" Lu Wan Looking at Liu Ji's expression, he was also a little sad.But in order to divert Liu Ji's attention, he took the initiative to raise the issue of the number of people.

"What else can I do? This time it's not like before, what else can I do besides recruiting every household?" Liu Ji looked at Lu Wan with disdain and said.

"That's right! Hehehe!" Lu Wan smirked shyly as Liu Ji stared at her.

Liu Ji finally gathered a team of 100 people, because there were not enough escort officials in Pei County.Therefore, Shen Shiqi asked Liu Ji to concurrently serve as an escort official.With a hundred strong men, Liu Ji began to walk towards Xianyang.

Because time was tight, Liu Ji was afraid of accidents on the road, so he quickened his pace.As a result, the entire team was a bit overwhelmed, but no one escaped.
