Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1497 PUA
  Seeing that the guard ignored him, Thieves Zhi didn't care, and continued with a smile:

"Are you from Handan, Zhao State?"

"Huh?" The guard looked at Robber Zhi in surprise.

He is indeed from Zhao, but the question is...how did the prisoner figure it out?

When Thief Zhi saw that the guard was beginning to take the bait, the smile on his lips became even wider, and he continued to lie:
  "Your right arm was injured in the battle. It's not healed yet, and it has attacks from time to time."

"You are good at martial arts, but you are not appreciated by your superiors. You are still a low-level officer and have never been promoted."

Every time Thief Zhi said something more, the shock in the guard's eyes grew even more, because everything the other party said was basically correct.

Looking at the guard who was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment, Thief Zhi asked with a smile:
  "Are you curious, how do I know so many things about you?"

"Hehe, it's actually very simple." Thief Zhi said with a whisper, "Just observe carefully."

"From yesterday to today, I saw you rubbing your right arm more than once, with a very uncomfortable expression. It must be a recurrence of an old injury."

"Secondly, although Zhang Han is determined that I can't escape, so he only leaves you to guard him, but he can't just arrange a rookie to guard me, a 'top VIP'. Your strength must be very outstanding in the army. .”

"But you are wearing the uniform of a junior officer."

"You are capable, but you don't get promoted. Naturally, you are ostracized by your superiors."

After listening to Thief Zhi's explanation, the guard felt much calmer.

The unknown is the scariest thing. Once you know the reason, it's not a big deal. It's just that the other party has observed some of your own information.

Once you enter the Tooth-gnawing Prison, it is basically impossible to get out. Once he finds out about it, he knows it. There is no telling how many days this guy can survive.

However, Thieves Zhi's face suddenly changed at this time. He no longer had the playful smile before, but instead showed a sad look, and said in a heavy tone:
  "As for how I can tell that you are from the Zhao country... of course it's because I am also from the Zhao country!"

"How can people from the State of Zhao not recognize people from the State of Zhao..."

Robber Zhi's voice at this time was low and obscure, showing the desolate state of mind of a man who had subjugated his country, and instantly aroused the empathy of the guards.

It has only been more than ten years since the fall of the Zhao Kingdom. Many people still miss their homeland, and not only the old nobles of the Zhao Kingdom, but also many common people miss it.

This guard is also one of this type of people. Even because he has been wandering around in other places during these years as a soldier, his nostalgia for his homeland is also superimposed on his longing for his homeland, which is stronger than others - of course, this is mainly because Everyone's life under the hands of Qin was not very satisfactory. If life had been better, not many people would miss it.

You see, after the Qing Dynasty fell, not many serious people missed it.

Another reason is that Tao Zhi's emotions are so well controlled that no one can tell that he is talking nonsense - he is not from Zhao at all!
  Well... to be precise, it might be.

Because as an orphan raised by his master, he didn't know which country he was from. It could be Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin.

If calculated according to his master's place of origin, he should be... from the Lu country. However, the Lu country died early. When he grew up, the grass on Lu Qinggong's grave was so high that he had no idea.

As for why it can be seen that the guard is from Handan, Zhao State... it is purely a coincidence.

As a thief, observation is very important. Thieves can distinguish the characteristics of many things that ordinary people take for granted.

It just so happened that this guard had a characteristic that was unique to the Handan people, and it happened that Robber Zhi could really recognize this characteristic, which was the gait characteristic. Zhuangzi Qiushui Chapter records the story of a young man from Yan State who went to Handan, Zhao State, to learn to walk, which is the origin of the allusion "Learning to Walk in Handan".

What Zhuang Zhou expressed through this story will not be mentioned here. The unique gait of the people of Handan is indeed famous among the seven countries. Otherwise, the dancing girls there would not be unique and famous all over the world.

So right now, Thief Zhi is purely acting as a guard.

Seeing that the guard's emotions had been successfully mobilized by Thieves Zhi, it was probably because he had become accustomed to obeying orders over the years, so he kept silent and refused to comment on what Thieves Zhi said.

But this is considered acquiescence.

Pirate Zhi was overjoyed, knowing that his KFC plan had been basically successful, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued to lament:
  "I know you don't believe it and you must think I'm lying to you, and I understand."

"I'm not talking to you so much just to build a relationship with you. After all, you haven't let go of my ability at all. Getting closer to you can't change my situation."

"I just want to remind you for the sake of my compatriots."

"Do you know why that follower, that is, your General Zhang, obviously values ​​me very much, but just locks me in this so-called luxurious cell at the bottom, and only uses a cage to imprison me?"

"Because he doesn't care if I escape, or he knows that I won't escape."

"I was brought in on purpose to find a way to save my friends. Soon my other friends will come in to save us."

"My name is the King of Thieves. Maybe you haven't heard of it, but you know from your general's attitude towards me that I am very important to him."

"Friends of people like me are naturally not simple, and I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. They are all top-notch masters, much better than me."

Thief Zhi was full of witty words, and he continued to fool the guards with the truth, and his tone became more and more seductive and urgent:
  "When they arrive, how do you think Zhang Han can deal with them with his strength?"

"Perhaps you think that my friends can't find anything in the Tooth-gnawing Prison, but in fact we knew that Zhang Han would make arrangements in advance when we were planning the operation, waiting for me to take the initiative to step in."

"But we are still here. Coming here means that we are sure to escape. After all, the Tooth-gnawing Prison is just a prison. It will not really eat people."

"But Zhang Han must have his confidence and assurance, so...he locked me here, at the bottom and deepest part of the prison."

"His purpose is very straightforward. He plans to wait for my rescuers to come, and then directly seal off this area and trap us!"

"As long as he ensures that we can't escape, he will have enough time to figure out how to deal with us. He even only needs to drag us. Naturally, we won't be able to hold on for long without food or water."

"But... what should you do?"

"I recognize you as my compatriot, so I told you this in advance. If I don't tell you and you don't know anything, when my friends come, you will definitely die at their hands inexplicably."

"Do you think Zhang Han will ask you to evacuate in advance?" Tao Zhi's tone became excited, and he grabbed the railing with both hands and reminded sharply, "It's definitely impossible!"

"What if asking you to leave early ruins his plan?"

"He is a lackey of the Qin court. He doesn't care about the lives of people from the Six Kingdoms like you and me!"
