"The people in the house?"

"Yes, this is a very important person. Now, the entire Luowang, Shadow Secret Guards, and even Iron Eagle Ruishi are looking for him."

Liu Ji took a deep breath, "Who is so important and has worked so many people in the empire?"

"Jianlu!"

"The new supervisor?"

"That's right!"

"What's so important about him?" Liu Ji asked.

"The empire wants to attack Baiyue, but the transportation of materials is very difficult. According to the information we have obtained, Prince Qin wants to build a man-made river in Xiou to communicate with the water system and completely change the plight of the empire's logistics and transportation. And this person, It is crucial to this plan. For decades, he has hidden in the mountains and devoted himself to the study of hydrology in the world. The world is so big that few people know the hydrology of Xiou better than him. Prince Qin thought To communicate with the water system, he is indispensable."

"I understand, my farmer's capture of him is tantamount to controlling the most important key for Crown Prince Qin to attack Baiyue. But, why did the master call me here?" Liu Ji spread his hands, helplessly Said.

"Xiakui hopes that you can lead a group of brothers to guard Jianlu, brother."

"Me?" Liu Ji pointed at himself, looking rather flattered.

"I can't write, and I can't use martial arts. Xia Kui called me here. What's the use of guarding this person."

The Zhu family put on a red face, and said with a smile: "If Prince Qin's people know where Jianlu is, then no matter how many people we guard here, it will be useless. Hiding in the dark is our greatest advantage." .And what Xiakui needs is a trustworthy person."

"Is that so? Then why not kill him directly, and it's over once and for all." Liu Ji said.

"No. This is a hostage of great value, and it cannot be easily killed unless it is absolutely necessary." The Zhu family said, shaking their heads, and seemed to be hesitating.

"Another boring task." Liu Ji curled his lips, took out the dice cup from the wide sleeve robe, and cocked his mouth: "Fortunately, I brought this."

……

"Xiakui, the assassination plan has failed."

Tian Mi quietly came behind Tian Guang and said.

The ancient trees are towering, and above the woodland, there are only spots of light left.Tian Guang stood under the tree with his hands behind his back.

"I know. This was expected. It's too easy to take Prince Qin's life just by relying on a fake supervisor."

"Since this is the case, why did Xia Kui send him there? Among the peasants, he is considered a good player. Isn't it a pity to sacrifice for nothing like this?" Tian Mi said, swallowing a cigarette lightly.He and Tian Guang belong to the Tian clan, blood relatives, so there is no taboo in speaking.

"No, he will not sacrifice in vain." Tian Guang hesitated to speak, sighed, and said, "Do you know? When I faced Prince Qin, I didn't take all kinds of failures to heart. But in the end What made me saddened was Sheng Qi's betrayal."

Tian Mi lowered her head with a gloomy expression.Shengqi, a name Tian Mi doesn't want to mention.

"Sheng Qi is looking for a bad way, Xia Kui don't need to be sad."

"Yes, I remember that when Lord Changping was alive, Shengqi had already entered the upper echelons of the farm family and was reused by Lord Changping. Thinking about it now, Ying Ziyi was able to roam around in Chu, and regarded my farm family as nothing. Among them, the credit of Shengqi must be indispensable!"

"Damn it!" Tian Mi wanted to say something, but Tian Guang punched the tree trunk, shaking the crown of this ancient tree with rustling sounds.

The hatred in Tian Guang's heart finally disappeared in a flash, and he put his hands behind his back again, with a bitter chill in his tone: "But is there only one Shengqi in my farm?"

"Xia Kui means Liu Ji!" Tian Mi said as if she suddenly remembered something.

"No, I don't know. I have observed Liu Ji in secret for a long time, but I have not found any clues about his relationship with Prince Qin. Liu Ji is different from Sheng Qi, he is just the little leader of Shennongtang, and he knows the farm family like Sheng Qi. Compared with the high-level of the secret, it is not at the same level."

"Then why did Xia Kui send him to guard Jianlu?"

"I want to prove that if Liu Ji is really Prince Qin's eyeliner, then he will definitely expose the whereabouts of such an important hostage as Jianlu."

"What if Liu Ji is not?"

Tian Guang shook his head and sighed inexplicably. "Perhaps he can make his mark on the farm."

Chapter 41 It's hard to get along with businessmen

The moonlight is soft, and the ocean river flows east of Xing'an.On both sides of the river are virgin forests that have not yet been developed.The Qin army has already established a camp near here and accumulated sandbags and wood.

For several days, the Qin army plunged giant trees into the river in several places upstream where the water flow was relatively gentle, and threw thousands of sandbags one after another to block the river.

On a quiet night, the soldiers of the Qin army who had worked hard all day during the day had now rested.Most of the noise in the entire camp has disappeared, and only the soldiers on guard at night are still sticking to their posts. However, they are too unbearable to endure the loneliness of the long night and feel drowsy.Occasionally, soldiers on patrol returned to the camp, and there was a noise, which woke up the night watch soldiers a little bit.

In the depths of the dense forest on both sides, someone pushed aside the branches, looked at the camp on the river bank, and monitored the movement of the Qin army.

After a long time, he gently let go of the twitching branches, retreated quietly, and climbed down the ancient tree.

"How's it going?"

The person who asked the question was dressed in commoner clothes, exposing his violent muscles, wearing a colorful crown woven with bird feathers, and with a long refined iron knife on his waist. He was the king of Xiou.

"My lord, the guards of the Qin army are very lax. If we gather the warriors of the tribe to attack at night, we are [-]% sure that we can break through the enemy's camp."

"En! It seems that Qin Jun has indeed been blinded by our attitude, and he has lost even the minimum vigilance."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Yiyu Song glanced at the impatient guards in front of him, smiled, and said, "Wait a little longer! Wait for the Qin army to bring in more supplies, so that we can catch them all in one go."

Since the Qin army entered Xiou, Yixu Song has been inspecting the camps of the Qin army almost every day.In Yixu Song's heart, he never let down his vigilance against this foreign enemy.No, he is not far away, and he also wants to see the situation here with his own eyes from the royal city.

……

"Where is Prince Qin?"

Looking at the Qin army's barracks stretching along the river below from the high cliff, Tian Guang asked.
