Humane Yongchang

Chapter 485
"The Baiyue people own the country."

This was Jing Ke's first sentence after taking his seat.

Chen Sheng recalled the Baiyue knowledge he had acquired from the Bolang Army, slightly frowned and nodded, "Tell me in detail."

Jing Ke took the order and said in a calm manner: "According to the records of my Mohist school and the experience of my subordinates who traveled to the southeast counties, Baiyue should be a group of uncivilized people, who either drink blood like a hair, or cultivate slash-and-burn farming, and gather together in the mountains and forests to make the best of the situation. Savage..."

Chen Sheng couldn't help throwing out the doubts in his heart: "Isn't it?"

According to the Baiyue knowledge he learned from the Bolang army, and the Baiyue army he had seen with his own eyes, the Baiyue people were indeed not very civilized.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's really not the case."

Jing Ke shook his head and replied: "Baiyue people have the concept of a country, but the way of existence of the Baiyue people's country is different from that of our big men. It is a kind of..."

"It's very similar to the enfeoffment system that King Ji Zhouping had before he reorganized the country. It's just that both the power of the co-lord's control over the major tribes and the overall consciousness within the tribe must be more indifferent, but it does exist."

When he said this, Chen Sheng understood: "Continue to talk."

Jing Ke nodded, opened his mouth and wanted to continue talking, but after opening his mouth, he found that he didn't know where to start, so he bowed his hand to Chen Sheng in apology, picked up the hot tea that the palace servant had just brought in, and ignored the scalding of his mouth. Drink it dry in one gulp.

Chen Sheng noticed that his hand holding the tea was trembling badly...

His heart was dark, but on his face he pretended to be calm and smiled and said: "Why, will Director Qing have a day of fear?"

After he said this, Jing Ke realized his trembling hands, and couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Your humble minister is rude!"

He carefully put the tea bowl back on the low table, as if he was afraid that the tea bowl would fall to the ground if he lost his grip.

After the tea bowl was settled down, he said with difficulty looking back: "For more than 20 days, Weichen brought more than 200 robes in the mountains and forests, and was chased and killed by the group of Baiyue people for more than 20 days. The distance in a straight line is less than a hundred miles, but we walked for more than 20 days before we finally got out of the forest and left behind more than 100 robes!"

"Those scraps in the mountains and forests are like the mountain ghosts in the tales of ghosts and monsters. Flowers, plants and trees are their eyes and ears, birds and beasts are their eyes and ears, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are their eyes and ears!"

"They can jump from trees, drill out of mud, and rush out of streams. Once you teach them to bind their hands and feet, countless Baiyue people will come up like a bee nest exploded... "

When Chen Sheng first heard about it, he still felt that their trip to Baiyue was really not easy.

But the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he had to interrupt: "I just asked you to take someone to Baiyue territory to find out the general situation of Baiyue people, did you dig the ancestral grave of King Yue? Why do they want to bite you to death?"

"Ancestral grave?"

After hearing what he said, Jing Ke nodded thoughtfully: "It's almost like, the humble minister has entered their ancestral temple!"

Chen Sheng: ? ? ?
"Don't tell me, you really dug the ancestral grave of King Yue!"

He said with a look of disbelief.

"This is not."

Jing Ke shook his head first, then nodded: "But I guess, it's almost the same in the eyes of Baiyue people..."

Chen Sheng went crazy: "What's going on, can you tell me the whole thing, or if you can't tell me, find someone who can tell me!"

"I don't want to be so reckless. In fact, in the city of Xi'ou king, everything is ordinary, but the temple is particularly tall and magnificent, and the guards are heavily guarded. I just think that there is the palace of the king of Xi'ou, so I take advantage of it." Night touched it."

When talking about this matter, Jing Ke also had a face full of remorse and pain, "Who knows that there is a temple inside, where a stone statue is enshrined, and there are murals everywhere. I think maybe I can learn from those murals." To learn more about the past of Baiyue people, just look at the murals and walk in."

"I don't know how long I've been walking, and suddenly I saw a mass of blood coming, and just as I was about to draw my sword, the token that His Majesty bestowed on me emitted a mysterious light, which scattered the blood, and then I heard only a shock. There was a roar that shook the ground, and when I looked closely, the stone statue was already shattered, and there were footsteps everywhere..."

"Etc., etc!"

Chen Sheng felt that there were too many slots, and he didn't know how to vomit for a while: "What are the murals you are talking about?"

"A big battle."

Jing Ke said uncertainly: "A great battle involving both Chinese people and Baiyue people, both monsters and gods, should be a mythical story circulated in Baiyue..."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

The more Chen Sheng listened, the more confused he became: "How did you see the Huaxia people and Baiyue people, gods and monsters from the murals?"

Jing Ke replied without hesitation: "Some of the people above have clothes and clothes. Although I don't recognize the banners, they should be my ancient Chinese characters. The other part of the people are either naked or have short hair and tattoos. Look at them." It looks like Baiyue people, as for monsters and gods, it is easier to distinguish them, most of those monsters can see the original shape, and gods are standing on the clouds..."

Chen Sheng always felt familiar when he heard it, but he couldn't grasp where the familiarity came from, so he could only continue to ask: "Then what is the role of the Chinese in the mural? Is it good or evil? Is it victory or defeat?"

Jing Ke was stunned for a moment, then replied vaguely: "It should be good."

Chen Sheng knew it in his mind, and then said: "What about the token?"

Jing Ke got up, took out a gold token from his waist, and put it in front of Chen Sheng with both hands: "It is the token of personal presence that His Majesty bestows upon me when I preside over external infiltration work for my ministers!"

Chen Sheng took the golden token, flipped it over in his hand, and confirmed that it was indeed the Hanwang token he handed over to Jing Ke back then, and even the serial number was correct... The foreign infiltration work involves the special warfare bureau, the military, the government and the military , and the two major frontier armies of Youzhou Army and Bolang Army, etc., in order for Jing Ke to carry out his work smoothly, he specially gave Jing Ke this token representing his identity.

As far as the power contained in this token is actually not great, if you really want to take this token to the major legions to transfer troops, if the strength of more than one regiment is exceeded, the report of the transfer will be sent to Chen Sheng.

But the meaning represented by this token is very important, to a certain extent, it is second only to his King of Han seal!

Chen Sheng played with this token, and had some guesses in his heart.

At the right time, Jing Ke also said: "After this token blocked the bloody light for the humble minister, it became as black as charcoal. After setting foot in our territory of the Han Dynasty, this token has returned to its true color."

Chen Sheng was stunned when he heard the words, and threw the token to Jing Ke, and Jing Ke quickly borrowed it with both hands: "Thank you, Naigong saved your dog's life again!"

Jing Ke subconsciously looked left and right, saw that there was no one in the side hall, and seemed to want to say something, but seeing the dark gold dragon pattern embroidered with gold thread on Chen Sheng's black robe, he still didn't dare to say those words in the end .

Chen Sheng ignored his uncomfortable expression like constipation, and asked again: "You saw those ancient characters on the murals, do you still remember them?"

Jing Ke thought for a while, then replied uncertainly: "I still remember some."

Chen Sheng: "Write it down later and hand it over to Meng Yi, who will find an expert to identify it."

"Brick House?"

Jing Ke wondered, "Can brick-burning craftsmen recognize ancient characters?"

Chen Sheng let out a disdainful "heh", making a cold joke: "Don't talk nonsense, do you still remember the location of the Xiou King City?"

Jing Ke nodded without hesitation: "My minister has drawn up a detailed road map, and I have asked the accompanying experts to complete the map as soon as possible. When the map is completed, I will present it to the king immediately."

Chen Sheng: "The population of Baiyue in Xiou, the size of its military strength, where they are stationed, and the cultivation methods of the Baiyue people, have you figured it out? Are there many masters of the Baiyue people who are above the cultivation of artistic conception? By the way , and their strange power that seems to be a battle formation, but is not a battle formation, do you have any clues about this trip?"

He has already seen that this experience of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in the primitive jungle has left a lot of psychological shadow on Jing Ke, and if he asks him to say it himself, it is tantamount to forcing him to recall the nightmare journey of more than 20 days. It would be a strange thing to say why!

Instead of this, it's better to take the initiative to ask questions, and let the nightmare in his mind be twisted into pieces...

Sure enough, after he took the initiative to ask the question, Jing Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and replied one by one: "My minister found out from the Bolang Army that Baiyue is respected by the three major tribes of Luoyue, Xiou, and Nanyue...now It seems that these three tribes should be the Baiyue Three Kingdoms."

"Among the Three Kingdoms of Baiyue, Luoyue is the most powerful. Every time he invaded the territory of the Han Dynasty, it was Luoyue who was the main force. The West Ou, which I went to this time, is in the middle of Luoyue and Nanyue. Second only to Luo Yue, stronger than Nanyue."

"According to what I heard during this trip, there are nearly a hundred tribes large and small in Xiou, the small tribes have a population of only a few hundred, and the large tribes have a population of no more than 70 to 100. The so-called King City of Xiou is only a mere county in our Kyushu territory. According to a rough estimate, the population of Luoyue should be between [-] and [-] million."

Chen Sheng nodded thoughtfully, his expression a little dignified.

The figure of 70 to 100 million is indeed nothing compared to China's population of 2000 million.

But don't forget, this is only the Baiyue clan.

Not even the strongest clan.

No wonder the Baiyue people were able to pull an army of 10,000+ people every time they invaded Kyushu.

In addition, if he remembered correctly, Liu Bang and his group went to Xi'ou...

Seeing Chen Sheng nodding his head, Jing Ke went on to say: "Although the population of Baiyue is small, I don't know if it's because Baiyue is hot and rainy, there are few fields and land, and they have to compete with the sky for food, or the Baiyue people are really fierce by nature. Among the Baiyue people, it can be said that almost all the people are soldiers. When the ministers fled from the Xiou King City, even the women and children held sharp knives to block the ministers' way, and their strength is comparable to the elite garrison!"

Chen Sheng picked out his ears and looked at him in disbelief: "You mean, once the Xiou Kingdom is driven to the point of subjugation, they will be able to pull 80 to [-] soldiers?"

"80 million may be too much..."

Jing Ke pondered, and said seriously: "A compromise, 50, after all, it is the point of subjugation!"

Chen Sheng:  …

Chen Sheng: ? ? ?
A Xiou is in a hurry, can they gather 50 million soldiers?
The Luoyue, Xiou, and Nanyue clans, plus some scattered small clans and small tribes, wouldn't they be able to gather 200 million soldiers if they were in a hurry?
excuse me……

"What about the cultivation methods of the Xiou people and the number of masters above the artistic conception?"

He resisted the desire to complain and continued to ask.

Jing Ke replied: "As far as I can see, the cultivation methods of Xiou people can be roughly divided into two types."

"One is to build up the body. A strong person can be invulnerable, and can open mountains and crack rocks with bare hands."

"One is the envoy of snakes, insects, rats and ants, which has strange abilities such as tracking, poisoning, and cursing."

"Both methods of practice require the help of the unique genius Dibao medicine in Baiyue, and I have been soaking in medicinal baths since I was a child..."

"As for the masters above the artistic conception, there are at least fifty!"

When Chen Sheng heard the previous practice method, he was secretly thinking about the second practice method, as if he hadn’t seen it much before. He suddenly heard the number of fifty, and he lost his voice in shock: "So many?"

Jing Ke wept with a mournful face: "If it wasn't for this, how could I have been trapped in the deep mountains and old forests for more than 20 days? The more than 100 Paoze brothers all took the initiative to die to cover my minister's breakout..."

Chen Sheng didn't know how to comfort this guy.

He really didn't expect Baiyue people to have so many artistic conceptions, and to get together so unscrupulously about martial arts.

Otherwise, he would not have sent Jing Ke to take this risk.

You know, Jing Ke was born in Wu Mo, and he practiced the way of an assassin who kills with one blow and flees thousands of miles away. His skill of hiding and running away is unique in Kyushu!
In addition, in recent years, he has been helped by both the fortune of the Han Dynasty and the demon-slaying guardian, breaking the life-and-death limit of the assassin's way in one fell swoop, and being promoted to the gatekeeper of Xiuyi, his concealment and running skills have been improved to a higher level.

Even before Chen Sheng broke through the cultivation realm, Jing Ke hid his whereabouts in front of him, and he couldn't catch Jing Ke's aura...

At that time, he thought, there must be more than a dozen or 20 cultivators, or three or five masters, otherwise who can catch this fellow?
Having said that, with so many masters of the Baiyue people gathered together, they dare not set foot on the territory of Kyushu... Is it because they are afraid of China's cultivation, the masters' collective counterattack, or are they afraid of those saints and giants?

Thinking about it from another angle, why don't those sage giants go to the land of Baiyue?Can't just go out?Or do the Baiyue people also have a top powerhouse that matches them?

Chen Sheng secretly kept this question in his heart, and planned to go out to talk to Old Master Zhuang when he had time...

After Jing Ke calmed down, Chen Sheng spoke again: "Eat a pit, gain a wisdom, and don't enter the house illegally in places you shouldn't go in the future. This time is a bloody lesson!"

Jing Ke didn't say a word, although he really wanted to say to Chen Sheng loudly: "I am an assassin, an assassin, an assassin who broke into a house illegally, can I still be called an assassin?" '

He didn't say a word, and Chen Sheng also assumed that he couldn't see the aggrieved meaning in his eyes: "For the work of external infiltration, you can communicate with Chen Feng more later. In the short term, only you can do this. Chen Feng's gang No one can."

"Find the fatal flaw of the Baiyue people as soon as possible, and our army will be able to march straight in sooner, to avenge your brothers Paoze who died in Baiyue, and the common people who died tragically under the sword of Baiyue!"

"As for your job of slaying demons, don't slack off. We big men have just completed the unification of the world, and you have a lot to do to slay demons. You must not give the demons a chance to stand up!"

"Well, I also know that this is really difficult for you, if you need any support from the court, you can just speak up, as long as you don't violate the law and principles, even if you want me to be your thug, I will say nothing! "

He looked at Jing Ke faintly with expectation in his eyes.

Jing Ke finally couldn't hold back, and gave him a look of contempt: "Please take action?"What are you thinking about?Are you called out to be a thug?You obviously want to go out and let the wind go, I'm not uncommon to expose you...'

Thinking that Chen Sheng clearly possesses a powerful force that is almost invincible under the sub-sage, but he can only be confined between the files, even going to a toilet, there are a large number of royal guards guarding the door.

But I can freely enjoy the great rivers and mountains of Kyushu...

Jing Ke was secretly delighted!
It was not him who seemed to be bald.
