Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

There were two people accompanying Liu Ji, one of whom was tall and strong, and the other was of medium build.

The middle-sized man was named Lu Wan. He looked unhappy. "Those guys are so stingy! There are over 400 of us here, and they only gave us a fake lieutenant position. How can that be a good match?"

The burly figure was Fan Kuai, the county dog ​​butcher. Upon hearing this, he said in a gruff voice, "So what if they're not a match? Besides, there's no point in you complaining to me."

Liu Ji didn't care about this. "I've had enough of Mangdang Mountain. No matter what conditions are offered, whether it's a county lieutenant or a deputy lieutenant, I'll enter the city first!"

About a few months or so ago, when he was escorting prisoners and corvée laborers, the people fled in a hurry. Seeing this situation, he knew that the task could not be accomplished, so he simply disbanded the team and let everyone escape. He missed the deadline, released the prisoners privately, and failed to complete the task. According to Qin law, he would definitely not have a good end if he returned, so he had to escape with them and finally hid in Mangdang Mountain not far from Pei County.

Life in the mountains is naturally not easy.

But such a difficult life continued. In the following months, the number of people around him gradually increased from the initial dozen or so to hundreds. Liu Ji could only secretly sigh that the Qin laws were harsh and the world was difficult, leaving no way for people to survive. If this continued, there would be chaos sooner or later.

As expected, news of the Daze Township Uprising soon arrived, and shortly thereafter, people from Pei County also contacted him, saying that they wanted him to lead the troops back to participate in the uprising and promised him the position of temporary lieutenant.

He was too lazy to care about whether he was a fake lieutenant or a real lieutenant, so he decided to go back first.

Lu Wan and Fan Kuai heard this and said nothing more.

Soon, after walking another mile, something began to feel wrong.

Liu Ji's expression changed slightly. He stepped forward to take a closer look and vaguely saw a crimson flag fluttering in the wind. He was secretly suspicious.

But soon, he no longer cared about those things, as the ground began to shake.

In the distance, a group of dozens of elite cavalrymen were riding towards them.

Not only were they wearing armor and holding weapons, but even the horses they rode were covered in a layer of half-body armor. The cold and stern light made Liu Ji's heart tremble and cold sweat broke out.

Although dozens of riders did not charge, they gave people a great shock!

Everyone was shocked. Where had they seen such a scene?!

They screamed and fled!

There is no choice but to escape.

You can't rely on the wooden weapons in your hands that are not even worth mentioning as scrap metal to fight against such a lump of iron as big as a mountain to see who is more powerful.

I'm afraid I'll die if I try!

He died instantly!

At this time, no one cared about anything else.

Soon, 30% to 40% of the team of more than 400 people were defeated.

The rest didn't want to escape, they were just frightened.

Or their legs are so weak that they can't walk at all.

Crying for parents! Chaos and confusion!

Liu Ji twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his head away stiffly: "Fan Kuai, you bastard, are you here to harm me?"

It was Fan Kuai who came from Pei County to report the news.

Firstly, he was on good terms with Liu Ji and could gain his trust. Secondly, he was also clear about Liu Ji's position.

Fan Kuai was also confused at this time. After hearing this, he came to his senses a little and shouted angrily: "What nonsense! Liu Ji! You don't believe me!?"

Although Lu Wan also had doubts, what was the point in distinguishing these things at this moment?

It's important to escape!

He stepped forward and grabbed Liu Ji, ready to flee. Fan Kuai also realized the problem and shouted, "Let's escape first!"

"Bah! Run, run, run! Run for what!" Liu Ji broke free from Lu Wan and pushed away Fan Kuai, who was trying to pull him away. He cursed, "We have two legs, but we're running like hell! We can't outrun those with four legs, so how can we escape?"

Lu Wan angrily said, "You're stupid! We don't need to run faster than horses, as long as we run faster than others!"

But I was secretly puzzled.

He was my childhood friend, a close friend. Normally, if he encountered any danger, he would run away as fast as the wind. What happened to him today? Was he just frightened?

Fan Kuai was also anxious: "My dear brother! It's already this late, and you're still confused. If you don't run away now, it will be too late!"

Liu Ji stroked his beard and frowned as he glanced at the cavalry approaching rapidly from a distance: "It's too late now. If I could run, I would have run long ago."

It was because he expected that he could not escape that he did not think of running, otherwise he would have slipped away at the first opportunity.

Of course, he had to admit that he was somewhat frightened by the sight of such fully armed elite cavalry, and his legs and feet were a little weak and not very agile.

Moreover, he is in his forties and although he is in good health, he is definitely not as fast as those young and strong people when he runs.

Moreover......

What’s the point of being so fast?

Thinking about it, he glanced at the two of them and said, "If you want to escape, just run away. Don't worry about me."

Lu Wan cursed loudly: "Do you think I want to control you? If it weren't for our long-term brotherhood, I would have run away long ago!"

Tmd

Now I really can't run away!

Liu Ji didn't care about being scolded. He grinned and said, "My good brother, you and I were born on the same day of the same month of the same year. So we will die on the same day of the same month of the same year. It's truly a brotherhood destined by heaven! Let's keep each other company on our journey to the underworld!"

Fan Kuai took a look and guessed that there was nothing he could do. After hearing this, he was so angry that his teeth itched: "It's already this hour, Liu Ji, and you still have the mood to joke around here?"

Seeing that he didn't run away, Liu Ji couldn't help but pat his arm and said, "You're a good brother too. Since we're both about to die, let's just call it quits on the dog meat money I owed you. How about it?"

Fan Kuai was stunned.

Md

Are you still a person?

It's almost a life-or-death situation, but you're still thinking about refusing to pay your debt.

But he had to admit that he was quite impressed by the elder brother's calmness in the face of danger, so he accidentally added something regretful: "The man is almost dead, why do you still need your dog meat money?"

Liu Ji patted the other person's shoulder and laughed: "It's a deal! No regrets!"

After laughing, he straightened his worn-out clothes.

He stepped forward and bowed to the elite cavalry who were gradually approaching.

Seeing this, Lu Wan and Fan Kuai hurriedly followed suit.

Now that things have come to this, what else can be done?

If you behave honestly, you might have a chance to survive.

"Shut up!"

The leading cavalryman pulled the reins slightly, glanced at the entire area, and shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone! Put down your weapons! Do not move!"

The voice was loud and clear, with great penetrating power, as if it was echoing in everyone's ears, and the noisy scene suddenly became silent.

As Liu Ji got closer, he felt as if something had struck him like thunder, and was secretly surprised and suspicious.

When he was young, he loved traveling, and when he was young he even served as a knight-errant. Naturally, he also knew some martial arts.

It’s just that what I have learned is shallow, not very profound.

But there is still vision and knowledge.

The person in front of me... has such a high level of internal skills!

Liu Ji felt more and more extraordinary, and his heart was beating fast, but he kept smiling and bowed with full respect.

After the man finished speaking, he waved his hand, and twenty or thirty riders rushed out from behind him and chased after the young and strong men who were fleeing in all directions.

He immediately dismounted, looked at Liu Ji, and asked, "Are you the leader of this team?"

Seeing this, Liu Ji was certain that the other party's willingness to talk was the best thing. He was afraid of being killed by a knife, which would be an unjust death. So he did not hesitate and said quickly: "In reply to the general, I dare not call myself a leader. I was just a group of brothers who wanted to keep each other warm, so I was elected to do this hard job."

The leader shook his head slightly: "I'm not a general, just a captain."

Then he asked, "Who are you? Where are you going with these people?"

Liu Ji was secretly shocked.

Team leader?

But the military squadron is so majestic! ?

What would the general look like then?

But he didn't dare to neglect his words, saying, "I'm Liu Ji, originally from Fengyi, Pei County. Because of the harsh Qin laws, I couldn't make a living, so I had to flee and hide in the mountains, barely getting by. These people are all in similar situations. Either they violated the Qin laws, or they provoked powerful people and bullies in their hometowns, and were forced to leave their hometowns. Later, they gathered together in Mangdang Mountain to seek a living. We are going here because the magistrate of Pei County promised to forgive our crimes and invited us to start an uprising, so we gathered together to go..."

As Liu Ji spoke, Lu Wan and Fan Kuai beside him were confused.

no......

My big brother!

Is this something you can say!?

I felt both absurd and puzzled.

They knew Liu Ji's character very well. When had he ever been so honest?

Not only did he tell the whole story, he also revealed the entire plan of raising an army and starting a rebellion.

Aren't you afraid that the enemy is the imperial army and you can kill them all on the spot?!

The two were secretly anxious. They wanted to stop it, but they had no chance. The other side was watching them, so they didn't dare to make any move.

As I listened, I felt a wave of loneliness and it felt like the sky was falling.

This time it's really going to happen.

At this moment, Liu Ji didn't have the mind to care about what the two people were thinking. If he knew, he would just be dismissive.

There is nothing wrong with being a little clever in normal times, but with the situation and posture of the other side, is it a place to be clever?

Furthermore...

If you want to hide something or tell lies, you need to have this condition.

There were over four hundred people present, not counting the few who escaped, that still left two or three hundred. With that many people, even pre-coordinated statements wouldn't be 100% accurate, let alone in such a rushed situation. Faced with such elite cavalry, who could remain calm? Even if there were, they were few. Even the slightest fright would likely lead them to spill anything. Any lie would be exposed the moment it was revealed. What was the point of doing this, other than angering the enemy?

It is better to be straightforward and answer whatever the other party asks. Being honest may even give you a good impression.

certainly......

In fact, Liu Ji did not reveal everything just for this reason. If he was sure that the other party was the Qin Dynasty's imperial army, he would never dare to talk about starting a rebellion. He would hide it as much as possible. However, he had never seen such an elite army before, and he was roughly certain that it was not the Qin Dynasty's army.

in the case of......

Why resist the tyranny of Qin? Just be a submissive citizen.

He had once had the opportunity to witness the Qin Emperor's parade. The scene at that time shocked him beyond words and he exclaimed, "A real man should be like this!" However... even in such a grand scene, the elite troops of the Qin Dynasty were far inferior to the team in front of him.

The army that can guard the Qin Emperor must be the most elite team of the Qin Dynasty. This is not as good as it and cannot be compared with it, let alone other armies.

And since it is not the army of the Qin Dynasty, there is no harm in talking about the uprising.

Of course...if he is really so unlucky and the opponent happens to be the Qin army, there is nothing he can do.

It's just the difference between dying early and dying late.

So Liu Ji was quite calm about this and answered whatever was asked.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 654: The plan to elect a leader! Lu Gong!

During the conversation, the twenty or thirty riders came back one after another with the one or two hundred people who had previously fled. These young and strong men who had failed to escape were basically dejected and trembling, and many of them were injured. Seeing this scene, Lu Wan and Fan Kuai were stunned for a while, and then felt very relieved.

I thought to myself that it was a good thing I didn’t run away, otherwise if I was caught, who knows what would have happened to me.

I sincerely admire Big Brother's foresight.

Liu Ji, who saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, was also secretly amazed.

Although his intuition suggested that escape was unlikely, at least a small number of the one or two hundred people would have managed to escape, right? But in this situation, a quick look at the number of people revealed that the number of people who could escape would be no more than a handful, and it was very likely that no one had escaped.

It's really a bit outrageous!

So I became more cautious.
