Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 77

When Shu Qing heard that the leader spoke the official dialect of the Central Plains, he bowed his hands very politely and replied: "The villain Shu Qing was originally a merchant who traveled between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, but he was plundered by the Huns on the way. Not a penny! And after escaping, because the little sister was found to be a woman, the Huns were tempted by a hundred heads, so they followed me and wanted to take my little sister away! Fortunately, I met a strong man, I don’t know who the strong man is ? When we meet in the future, I will be able to repay you!"

As Morton's disciples, both Shu Qing and Nan Li are proficient in multiple languages.Among them, Mandarin from the Central Plains is essential!
When Morton was teaching Shu Qing and Nan Li, he had exhausted his mind.Constantly instilling in the two people that the Qin State in the Central Plains is very powerful, and the army is very large and strong, so that the two showed great interest in this Qin State that is very far away from them.

But, Moulton didn't know that!Shu Qing and Nan Li are equally interested, but their natures are different!Nan Li simply wants to see the life in Central Plains, while Shu Qing is holding on to learning and hopes to conquer the place her teacher yearns for in the future!
"A certain family is Li Bi, a hundred general of the Qin army, who was ordered to come and exterminate this group of Huns! You don't have to repay me, this is an order from my family's five hundred masters!" After getting some good feelings, he said.

Hearing that Li Bi claimed that he was a general of the Qin army, the people behind Shu Qing became nervous.Because the six of them thought that Li Bi was a subordinate of the Qin army who attacked him and the others, they naturally did not dare to relax their vigilance.

"Where is the commander of Lord Hundred Generals? I want to thank him face to face!" Seeing that Li Bi had lost the arrogance he had at the beginning, Shu Qing cupped his hands and said again.When Shu Qing clasped his hands and spoke, Nan Li behind her was also looking at this ordinary person dressed up as a general of the Qin army.

Nan Li could tell from Li Bi's words whether he was lying or not!When Li Bi was talking to her brother, Nan Li knew that this man was not lying.She was even more curious as to why this Qin army came to the grassland disguised as ordinary people.

Even Nanli could even guess that these people had just returned from the north.

"It's not far behind! Tang Mian, take them to meet your lord!" Hearing Shu Qing's words, Li Bi classified him as an ordinary businessman, and said to Tang Mian, who had just arrived.

"Okay!" Tang Mian clapped his hands in response.

***************************************
On the road leading to the Western Regions, a team of more than ten people was speeding forward.This team is Moulton and his party!

Moulton and the others are very hungry now. For these people, it has been a complete nightmare these days!

When breaking out, in order to speed up the escape, let the horses reduce the burden.Moulton ordered everyone to discard the supplies, and the heaviest food in the supplies was discarded!Originally, Moulton planned to hunt some prey on the grassland as a source of food on the way back.

Unexpectedly, they didn't meet a single animal along the way, so everyone had to rely on shooting birds to satisfy their hunger.But is a bird so small enough to feed a man?The answer is no!

In addition, there are not many trees on the grassland, and there are not many birds!After there was no food source, everyone started to get hungry!

"My lord! I still haven't found tribes and caravans, and I haven't found any wild cattle, sheep, or horses around here! There aren't even many birds. I'm afraid it will cause chaos if there is nothing to eat!" Du Dun came back from a distance, He reined in his horse and saluted Moulton.

Looking at Du Dun and the feeble sergeants in the distance, Moulton fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Moulton said helplessly: "If the tribe, caravan and prey are not found today, then the horses will be slaughtered to satisfy hunger tonight!"

"Yes!" Du Dun saluted and accepted the order.

Du Dun immediately announced Moulton's order, and all the sergeants who heard it smiled.For these hungry people, nothing is more important than filling their bellies!

******************************************
While Moulton was worrying about food, Shu Qing and the others followed Tang Mian to meet Xiang Yu and Si Kuo.

Tang Xian led the way, and met many people who acted as sentries along the way, and everyone passed through without any hindrance!
Someone had reported Xiang Yu and Si Gou a long time ago, and the two still discussed it.Si Gou still appeared as a businessman, while Xiang Yu went to the grassland to spy on information and came back to save Si Gou on the road, and they went south and returned to the Central Plains together!
Seeing Xiang Yu, Tang Mian first got off his horse and reported: "My lord! The Huns a few miles ahead have been wiped out, and the eight people behind me have also been rescued!" Shu Qing and the eight people who did not dare to come over without permission.

"Where are these people coming from?" Si Kuo approached and asked in a low voice.

"On the way, I asked! They all said they were merchants, and they just brought goods from the Western Regions to Xianyang to sell! However, they were unlucky to be robbed by the Huns and horse bandits on the way!" Tang Mi said truthfully, clasping his hands. .

"Call them over! No, just call the person in charge of them over here." After listening, Xiang Yu said to Tang Mian without expressing any opinion.

"Yes!" Tang Mian cupped his hands, got on his horse again and went to explain that his commander wanted to see the person in charge.

In fact, Tang Mi knew that Shu Qing was the person in charge, but he still asked.

Following Tang Mian, Shu Qing came to Xiang Yu.

"I'm a member of the Dayue Clan, Shu Qing! I've seen you before! Don't you know the name of your benefactor?" Shu Qing immediately bowed his hands in salute.

Xiang Yu also cupped his hands, and reported his family name: "A certain family is under the command of Meng Tian, ​​the great general of the Great Qin Dynasty, and Xiang Yu is the master of five hundred!"

Then, Xiang Yu asked again: "Where did you start talking about this benefactor?"

"Your Excellency sent troops to wipe out the Huns who surrounded us and saved us! It is our benefactor!" Shu Qing said with hands clasped in a very restrained manner.

"Brother Shu is wrong!" Xiang Yu corrected immediately.

"Why is it wrong?" Shu Qing asked without knowing why.

"I was not the one who saved you! It was His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor!" Xiang Yu explained, "If His Majesty hadn't sent me to the grassland to spy on the military situation, I wouldn't have met you! If I hadn't met you, what would have happened? Rescue?"

Although Xiang Yu's words were clearly intended for Shu Qing.In fact, this was specifically for Si Kuo to hear!

When talking with Si Gou, Xiang Yu could feel Si Gou's loyalty to the First Emperor Yingzheng, and Xiang Yu felt that Si Gou was spying on him secretly, so he was going to show his loyalty to let him relax his vigilance!
Shu Qing didn't know why Xiang Yu said such words, but in order to please Xiang Yu, he bowed his hands to the south and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Seeing that Shu Qing was very knowledgeable, Xiang Yu smiled and said, "That's right!"
