Chapter 175 You Know Too Much

The long bow is ready for firing, and the arrow clusters are emitting a cold light.

Zhao Shuang let go of his hand lightly, the arrow flew quickly, and there was a whistling sound in his ears. In the forest, the arrow fell aside, and a hare ran into the jungle like flying.

The flag was fluttering, and Zhao Shuang was surrounded by dozens of soldiers, who were lined up to protect him.

Lord Changping's envoy stood beside him, bowing his hands and speaking humbly, but with a bit of disdain on his face.

"Let me serve as the marching commander?"

Two consecutive groups of envoys brought Zhao Shuang back here from the Mo family's stronghold.

One group was Fan Yuqi's men, who asked Zhao Shuang to purchase ordnance and comply with the regulations. However, after this, Lord Changping seemed to be uneasy and wanted him to be transferred from the key position of Army Sima to become the commander-in-chief of an army.

In this way, Zhao Shuang can be under Fan Yuqi's nose, and Lord Changping can feel much more at ease.

"Mr. Changping said that the attack on Zhao this time is the time to make achievements. The king has the title of king, but no military title. If things go on like this, it will not be beautiful. If the king is willing, the king of Changping can recommend the king to the position of marching general. .”

"I am young and the commander-in-chief of an army. My responsibilities are too heavy. I may risk the lives of soldiers and I have failed the king's trust. I thank you for your kindness, Lord Changping."

Zhao Shuang smiled and refused without thinking. With that said, Zhao Shuang held the bow and fired another arrow, but again it was a missed arrow.

Laizhi felt contemptuous in his heart, but his face still showed enough patience and respect.

"Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity! The State of Zhao was hit by a disaster last year and suffered serious military losses. This time we attack Zhao, this is a great opportunity to gain military merit."

"That's good, but I'm not very good at fighting either!"

Zhao Shuang fired a third arrow.

The envoy saw that the other party seemed to be tired. After the arrow missed again, he sat back in the temporary camp built by the carriage.

The simple camp didn't even have a tent, which showed that its owner didn't want to stay any longer. This is just a temporary hunt and won't last long.

Seeing that Zhao Shuang could not be persuaded after repeated attempts, the envoy waved his hand and said goodbye.

The huge figure of the ceremony slowly appeared, carrying two wild deer on each shoulder, and came to Zhao Shuang. Behind him, there was also a fully loaded team.

"My Lord, we caught some wild animals, enough to feed our brothers today."

Zhao Shuang raised his head and glanced at the sky.

"It's getting late, let's prepare meals!"

"promise!"

Time passed slowly, and the soldiers skinned and disemboweled the prey, took out the internal organs, washed them, and began to roast them on the fire.

A campfire was lit in the camp.

Hunting is actually a delicate job. The place you choose to camp must be close to a water source. Hunters get up early and basically have to go into the mountains and forests as soon as dawn, otherwise they will not be able to gather enough food to maintain their strength.

For the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, hunting in all seasons is a way to exercise their bravery and train their troops. Of course, there are also those crazy people who like hunting and regard it as a hobby.

But if you take away these factors, hunting is actually a hard job.

Zhao Shuang had a hunch and was a little uninterested. He sat by the fire and looked at the ceremony not far away, feeling a little bored.

"Have all the purchased ordnance been sent out?"

The ceremony looks strong and burly, but its thoughts are very delicate.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will escort them personally, and all the batches of supplies that have been purchased will be delivered to the Qin army."

Zhao Shuang nodded, waiting for the food for a long time. The food was not good, but the person he was waiting for had already arrived.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang came hand in hand, Zhao Shuang waved his hand, and the soldier holding the Changge let go.

"You are finally here!"

Wei Zhuang held the shark tooth in his hand and looked at Zhao Shuang with a scrutinizing look. But Gai Nie still had a cold face.

"You two, it's true that you came right after grabbing a meal."

Zhao Shuang smiled, his posture was not formal at all, he sat casually with his legs crossed.

"Why did you two get together and come to me together?"

Ordinarily, now, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, one is the chief swordsman of the King of Qin, and the other is a popular figure in front of Lu Buwei, they should not appear at the same time.

But now, not only did they appear at the same time, they also came to find Zhao Shuang at the same time.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang looked at each other, and finally Gai Nie spoke up.

"Xiao Shuang, we came to you this time for one thing."

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, very grandly.

"What kind of relationship do we have? If you want anything, just ask. I will promise you anything except borrowing money."

Zhao Shuang's words caused a long silence between the two people in front of him. He was stunned, he really wanted to borrow money.

Zhao Shuang reacted, and he was right. Apart from money, what could defeat the Guigu duo in this world?

"How much do you want to borrow?"

Gai Nie glanced at Wei Zhuang and spoke somewhat hesitantly.

"Five thousand gold!"

Zhao Shuang took a breath of air, as if his body had been scratched.

"Such a big sum of money?"

Just when Gai Nie was about to explain, Zhao Shuang answered happily.

"I agreed!"

Zhao Shuang was so cheerful that Wei Zhuang hesitated. His eyes were deep and his desire to win was extremely strong.

"Why don't you ask us what we are going to do?"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand and said it casually as if he didn't care at all.

"With such a large amount of money, apart from buying houses and real estate, which is impossible for you to do, the only legitimate use in a short period of time is bribery."

The smile on Zhao Shuang's face made Wei Zhuang very unhappy. He glanced slightly and looked at Gai Nie out of the corner of his eye. His face was calm, but his hand holding the sword was a little tighter.

Wei Zhuang is very familiar with Gai Nie. He may seem gentle, but he is no less competitive than him. At this time, Gai Nie felt extremely unhappy.

"But who is worthy of such a large amount of money? The important thing is that with your current status, it is not impossible to use such a large amount of money. Unless, this matter has nothing to do with King Qin and Lu Buwei. It’s not official business. Or maybe you are doing something for your superiors, but this matter is extremely secretive and urgent, and the funds used cannot be used openly.”

Speaking of which, the barbecue is ready. Jianqing's huge body moved slightly, and his thick arms handed over a bunch of meat.

"The former is unlikely. It concerns Guigu, and I won't allow you to pay for it. As for the latter, the only one who can invite you two at the same time is related to Chang'an Jun Chenglong."

"Both King Qin and Lu Buwei are worried about Lord Chang'an, so they want you to place a powerful eyeliner around him. But Lord Chang'an's eyeliners are also all over Xianyang. Whether it is the king or the prime minister, such a large sum of money can be temporarily used from the books. Money will definitely arouse his vigilance. If it is transferred secretly, time will inevitably be delayed. This also explains why the two of you appear together, because the tasks you get overlap."

"And someone with such a big appetite should be"

"enough!"

What surprised Zhao Shuang was that it was not Wei Zhuang who stopped him, but Gai Nie.

He seemed to be aware of his own abnormality and made up for it.

"This matter is confidential and cannot be leaked."

Wei Zhuang glanced at Zhao Shuang, also looking unkind.

"You know too much, just give us the money."

Zhao Shuang scratched his head and looked at the two heroes of Guigu who were walking away without even eating.

"Are all those who borrow money so arrogant these days?"
