Chapter 225 Alone and Helpless

Xu land.

"We've already shipped the goods."

There was no human habitation on the desolate land. In front of Qi Juetang and others, there was a small village that had just experienced the trauma of the war, and the surrounding fields seemed very barren.

Tang Qi glanced at the person who received the goods. Although he was wearing the clothes of an ordinary villager, he could not hide his anger. It seemed that he was either a gangster who had been in the world for a long time, or a top-notch dead soldier.

"Receive the goods!"

The person opposite didn't seem very happy, his face was ugly, and he didn't have any humility at all. He looked very tough.

A few people roughly inspected the goods, without carefully counting them, and then pulled the carriage and prepared to leave.

"Brother, how much money do you need?"

Tang Qi reminded him, and the other party took out a money bag from his sleeve and threw it over.

Tang Qi weighed it and found that the weight was about the same, so he didn't bother anymore.

Although this mission had twists and turns, it was finally completed. For a while, the people in Qijuetang felt a lot more relaxed.

They lost men and horses, and needed a large amount of money to comfort their families. Many of them had to be extracted from the rewards of this mission, but these people didn't care.

"Boss, since we have traveled a hundred or two hundred miles, we might as well go to the city ahead to rest."

Tang Qi made a face and scolded lightly.

"Do you want to go to the city to rest?"

The disciples of Qijuetang looked resentful. Of course, they were not here to rest. If you want to rest, you don’t have to travel several miles to the city to rest?

Tang Qi looked at his subordinates, feeling a little impatient and waved his hand.

"Get out, get out."

All the disciples of Qijuetang knew Tang Qi's temper well and knew that although he was impatient at the moment, they all agreed. For a moment, their faces showed expressions that all men understood.

"Dele, Hall Master, we must go back quickly."

"Get out of here, you're the one who is quick."

Although the mission was over, Tang Qi's heart was filled with sadness. The attack was still in front of him, and he was still uneasy.

Tang Qi waited near the village for a long time, and it wasn't until Wei Zhuang appeared that he felt a little at ease.

"Where are the people from Qijuetang?"

Wei Zhuang couldn't help but ask when he saw Tang Qi sitting alone under a big tree.

"They all went to the city to have fun."

There was a surprised expression on Wei Zhuang's face, and Tang Qi couldn't help but have a weird look on his face.

"Boss Wei, you can't"

Before Tang Qi finished speaking, he felt a strong murderous aura from Wei Zhuang and immediately closed his mouth angrily.

"I am devoted to cultivation. Things between men and women are just disturbing people's hearts and not worth mentioning."

Wei Zhuang said nonchalantly, as if it was no big deal at all.

"Boss Wei is right."

Tang Qi didn't know if he said this sincerely or in a pretense, and then changed the topic.

"How's the situation?"

"They are all Cao Jiu's subordinates."

Wei Zhuang had just been secretly following the group of people until they entered Cao Jiu's military camp, then turned back.

"It's strange. Cao Jiu is a general. If he wants to order these supplies, he can do it openly. Why go to all this trouble? Also, what is the purpose of those people who attacked us?"

"Behind unusual things, there is often a reasonable fact, but now, this fact has not emerged."

Tang Qi looked at Wei Zhuang, who seemed very interested, and felt something bad.

It seems that a storm is about to arise!

"General, the spring planting will start soon, I have already made arrangements."

Cao Jiu listened to the description of the three elders in the village and nodded.

This is his jurisdiction, but he not only has to take care of the military, but also a range of agricultural affairs.

In South Korea, Xu Di is not as prosperous as Yangdi and Xinzheng, but it is most affected by the general trend of the world, especially Qin and Chu.

In the eight hundred years of Chu State's history, although it experienced several rises and falls, and the capital moved several times, it was always based in Nanjun. Decades ago, Bai Qi uprooted Ying, Nanyang became the land of Qin, and the vast Jianghan Plain was occupied by the Qin State.

The State of Chu moved its capital to Chen, less than two hundred miles away from Xu. At the beginning, the kings and ministers of the Chu State had great ambitions and ambitions to regain the old land. However, as time went by, the national power waxed and waned, especially after the failure of the Five Kingdoms' joint attack on Qin a few years ago, the kings and ministers of the Chu State were afraid of the Qin State's revenge.

The Central Plains has a flat terrain and complicated water systems. With the strength of the Qin army, whether passing through Han or Wei, they can mobilize heavy troops to the vicinity of Chendu to threaten the political center of Chu.

Therefore, the Chu State moved its capital again, and finally moved the capital to Shoudi, gaining broad strategic depth.

However, the pressure faced by Xu Di has not eased.

As a general guarding the front line, Cao Jiu was under great pressure. Although a large number of Chu's military forces moved far away with the migration of the capital, the Xiang area where the Xiang clan's heavy troops were still stationed was only a short distance away from Chen area.

The situation on the borders of Qin, Chu, Han, and Wei was even more complicated. Together vertically and horizontally, the situation of various countries waxes and wanes. Perhaps today's allies will become tomorrow's enemies.

As spring plowing was approaching, he had to come out of the military camp and lead his troops to inspect agricultural work in various villages.

However, Cao Jiu took one more look among the crowd, and then, he couldn't look away at all.

"Who is that woman?"

"She was a young widow whose husband had just died. The villagers took her in because they felt pity for her."

"widow?"

Cao Jiu suddenly became interested and waved.

"Call her to speak to this general."

"this"

The three elders in the village were a little hesitant. After all, she was a widow. Is it appropriate to call her that? However, they still did not dare to disobey and finally called the little widow over.

"You are so young, why are you here? Who is your husband's family?"

The woman was dressed in plain clothes and had a slim figure. She bowed slightly.

"My husband's family, the Zhao family, is originally in harmony with my wife, and they are loving husband and wife. However,"

At this point, the little widow cried, with tears still on her face.

"how?"

"That year my sister came to visit me at home, and that bitch had no shame and actually seduced her brother-in-law. My husband couldn't control it for a while, and he fell into despair. He neglected me every night and only had fun with that bitch. Unfortunately, he died young. Concubine I am alone and ostracized by my clan. I have no choice but to live here alone."

"That's unreasonable!"

Cao Jiu was furious and felt very unfair.

"Such a beautiful woman can bear to be left in the cold. Your husband is simply..."

uh-huh!

Cao Jiu's men coughed slightly, awakening Cao Jiu from his state of injustice, reminding him that so many people were watching!

As he spoke, Cao Jiu's face showed sadness and sadness.

"What a pitiful woman! It's so difficult to be alone and helpless."

With a long sigh, Cao Jiu looked at the deputy general beside him.

"It seems that our house is in need of a servant girl!"

"Ah! Yes, yes!"

Cao Jiu's men rolled their eyes, "How do I know what's going on in your house?"

"So, are you willing?"

"It is my blessing to be able to serve the general."

"Do you have a name?"

"Little girl Fei Yan!"

The woman bowed gracefully, making her figure more slender and light, especially her sad face, which made people pity even more.
