Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 170 Slaying the Snake
A group of people walked a long way, and the weather began to rain.

"This damn weather! Listen everyone, go into the woods to avoid the rain! It's not too late to leave after this rain!" Liu Ji couldn't bear to look at the laborers who were driving in the rain.After all, they are all fellow villagers, so Liu Ji expressed his compassion.

"Brother Ji, isn't time urgent?" Lu Wan asked Liu Ji puzzled.

"Urgency is urgency! But if any of these people has typhoid fever, even if we arrive, we won't be able to do business. It's better to rest for a while and hurry up when the rain stops!" Liu Ji explained to Lu Wan, and then found a place for himself A big tree sheltered from the rain.

Everyone found a tree and hid from the heavy rain under the tree.

The clouds were thick and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.Liu Ji and the others who were hiding under the tree were also covered, but luckily they made the right decision before.

The rain comes and goes quickly.After a while, the rain cleared, but Liu Ji and others left behind a muddy road.

Looking at the extremely headache-inducing road conditions, Liu Ji said to the people behind him: "Let's go! If we don't go, we will waste too much time, and we will all be beheaded in the end!"

As the small captains of the whole team, Lu Wan and Zhou Ke naturally urged everyone to move forward faster.

When they arrived at the boundary of Mangdang Mountain, Liu Ji and others rested here for one night and set out tomorrow.

As everyone knows, two people escaped to avoid hard labor that night.These two people have never received Liu Ji's favor, and they are not against Liu Ji.

The next day, after counting the number of people, Lu Wan found that there was one person missing and immediately went to Liu Ji and reported to him: "Brother Ji, one escaped! It is Yonghe, a branch of the Yong family in Sishui Pavilion in Pei County."

"What? What can we do? The number of people is not enough now, and they will be beheaded even in Xianyang!" Liu Ji patted his thigh and said in a daze after hearing this.

Both Lu Wan and Zhou Ke who heard the news had nothing to do, and quickly fell silent.

"Go on! After arriving in Xianyang, I will take the place of Yonghe!" After a long time, Liu Ji said helplessly.

"No! Brother Ji! What will you do if you are on top of your sister-in-law and grandpa?" Both Lu Wan and Zhou Ke stopped loudly.

"In addition to the son born to me by your sister-in-law, I also have a child born to me by Mrs. Cao. You two have no offspring. If you are allowed to take this position, what about your family? How do you pass on the family line? So, Only I am the most suitable!" Liu Ji explained aloud, then waved his hands and continued: "You don't need to say any more! I have made up my mind!"

More than a hundred people continued on their way to the west, and at night they rested by the side of Mount Mangdang.

There were more than 20 people in the labor force who didn't trust Liu Ji and didn't want to serve. They saw that Liu Ji didn't pursue Yonghe and fled, so they thought of running away.That night, another eight or so people escaped from the group.But the eight escaped people were captured by the team organized by Zhou Ke, and Lu Wan went to report to Liu Ji.

"Brother Ji, eight more people wanted to escape just now. They have been captured by Zhou Ke's organization, what do you think we should do?" Lu Wan found Liu Ji who was thinking about something while looking at the stars in the sky.

"Go! Take me to have a look!" Liu Ji turned his eyes from the sky and said to Lu Wan.

The two came together to the place where the eight escaped people had been tightly bound, and Liu Ji asked, "Why did you run away? Don't you know that if you leave, all of us will die?"

"Liu Tingchang, don't think we don't know! How many people who went to build the mausoleum and Efang Palace can return to their homes, and how many died there! My distant cousin went to Xianyang two years ago Served in military service, and has not come back until now. According to those who came back, he died in Xianyang because he died of illness during the construction of the mausoleum! I don’t want to die, and they don’t want to die either!” a fair-looking man said Courage yelled at Liu Ji.

"I also know that this time I'm close to death, but have you ever thought about whether you don't want to die. Which of my brothers wants to die? Ah!" Liu Ji was shocked by the words of this innocent man, and then reacted and roared: " You don’t have to die once you leave! What about us? And have you thought about it? Escaping back is also a result of death, and the government will not let the escaped people go!”

"What about Yonghe? Doesn't it mean he doesn't have to die after he escapes?" the white man retorted.

"Yonghe is an offshoot of the Yong family, and the Yong family is very powerful in Peixian County. It's no problem to hide one or two people. Besides, Yongchi is the largest wine merchant in Peixian County. I heard that it has something to do with the naval commander in the south. You Could it be that the county magistrate went to search the Yong family with the intention of offending the captain of the navy?" Liu Ji shouted angrily at the white man.

"Ah! My King Thorn refuses to accept it!" the white man roared to the sky.

"You boy is not convinced, but I am still not convinced!" Liu Ji said with a disdainful look at Wang Jibai.

"Brother Ji, what are these boys going to do?" Seeing that Liu Ji and Wang Ji had finished speaking, Zhou Ke asked proactively.

"What else can I do? Bind them! Is it possible to kill them? Where can I find eight people to serve in Xianyang together?" Liu Ji was not in a good mood, and his attitude when talking to Zhou Ke was not very good.

Fortunately, Zhou Ke was loyal to Liu Ji, so he didn't refute and stopped the eight people from being guarded.

Liu Ji found a tree by himself and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, he was a little anxious to urinate, so he went to a distance to pee.

Suddenly he heard some noise in the grass, Liu Ji was afraid of a wild beast, so he drew his sword.To say that this saber also has some origins, according to legend, it was obtained by Liu Ji's father Liu Xie when he was young when he was in business.It was a magical weapon that cut iron like mud, and was buried on the ground by Liu Xie when Ying Zheng confiscated the world's weapons.After Liu Ji became the head of the pavilion and qualified to carry a sword, Liu Xie dug him out.

Fortunately, it is a magical weapon, and after several years of burial, it has not lost its sharpness.Liu Ji then logically ended up with the sword that Liu Xi handed over to him, and this sword became one of Liu Ji's proud capitals.

As soon as the sword was unsheathed, a white python appeared.As soon as the boa constrictor appeared, it rushed towards Liu Ji, and Liu Ji avoided the boa constrictor's bite instinctively...

After a lot of fighting, Liu Ji killed the python in embarrassment.Liu Ji, who was resting on the ground, looked at the boa constrictor suddenly as if he had thought of something, his eyes flashed.

Because the sound of fighting with the python was too loud, and Liu Ji didn't go far.So more than a hundred laborers heard it, and they all came to Liu Ji with torches to see what was going on.

When I first arrived at the place, I saw a big white python, and saw Liu Ji lying on the ground as if he was asleep.
