Chapter 69
North of Xiangyang is the real Jiangnan. Although most of them are water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qin Empire that unified the world learned the lessons from the previous defeat of Xiangyang City and the long drive of cavalry into the hinterland of Jiangnan. The three generations of prime ministers all wrote bluntly that they were different from the hills next to the water towns. Garrison camps were set up in the mountains and rivers, so that even if the city was destroyed, Da Qin's cavalry could still use iron armor to form the first line of defense.

Moreover, Jiangnan has been famous for its many scholars and great Confucians since ancient times. The students have a lifelong pursuit of a strong character. Although Da Chu has been conquered for 20 years, and the Jiangnan nobles have been trampled by the Qin cavalry and wiped out three families, most of the Jiangnan disciples are still dissatisfied. Under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, some of the troops stationed by the powerful families of the Qin Dynasty in the past also went to the mountains and turned into bandits. Therefore, there were many bandits in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if Wang Xie sat in Xiangyang, it was still difficult to quell them.

The closest garrison to Rouge County is located in Qingshen Mountain, which is thirty miles away. It is a place with beautiful scenery. Because Xiangyang is in the north, these new recruits of the Wei Qin Army can only Prove the majesty of the Wei Qin army by suppressing bandits.

At the foot of Qingshen Mountain, there are two young recruits on duty tonight. Through the moonlight, you can vaguely see their young faces under their helmets, but even though they are young, their expressions are still solemn and meticulous.

A figure pushed a wheelchair slowly up the mountain.

One of the young soldiers saw the two figures, turned around, and said in a deep voice: "General Che is waiting for you two at the mountainside pavilion."

The couple expressed their gratitude to the young soldier.

After the two of them went up the mountain, another soldier showed his true colors as a young man. He spoke a rich Rouge County dialect and asked curiously: "Brother Aniu, who are those two? Why are they even General Che?" I have to meet him in person."

The young man from before had a cold face and glared at him angrily: "If you keep talking nonsense, be careful General Che will ask you to practice more!"

The younger boy curled his lips and shrank his neck.

If you don't say it, don't say it. Be careful, I will go home on vacation and tell the sister-in-law next door that you bullied me so that you can't even touch my wife's little hands!
The eldest lady pushed the wheelchair all the way up. There were countless whistles and whistles along the way. After a stick of incense, she slowly walked to the pavilion on the mountainside.

In the pavilion, a general with gray temples had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the couple, the old general who only wanted to train outstanding recruits also smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and motioned for the two of them to sit next to him.

The veteran general named Che Ye looked at the man in front of him who was far more scholarly than a military general. He frowned slightly and said boldly: "Why did the rising star of military general in Da Chu back then look like a poor scholar now?" You look like you have no energy at all! Why, you have broken both legs, and I heard that you haven’t been out in your ancestral home for 30 years? You are so ambitious!"

Zhou Li smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "When Xiangyang was trapped, I led my troops to rescue them, but I was defeated by General Che Ye, and my legs were broken. I am now a disabled person, so it is better to read the classics of the sages at home, Che Ye What do you think, General Ye?"

Che Ye laughed angrily and slowly handed him a cup of tea: "If it hadn't been for your general who was greedy for power and rushed in, Xiangyang City would not have been destroyed!"

"It was all decades ago, and it is no different now. Even though General Che has ignored government affairs now, your disciple is the most popular hero in Da Qin today."

When Che Ye heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Yes, being able to teach a disciple like Wang Xie, Che Yeping has no regrets.

The octogenarian old general looked to be about the same age as Zhou Li, but he was actually an old man who had served the king of Qin for three generations. He was also an extremely prestigious presence in the circle of Qin generals.

Che Ye glanced at Mrs. Zhou's family, her face full of helplessness: "You girl, when my eldest brother died of illness, I entrusted you to me. I originally wanted to let you take charge of Chunshui Fang, but what about you? You just didn't listen to me. If you do, you will have to marry this bastard, life or death. I led the troops to take you back to Che's house, but you forced me to death! I will be defeated by your niece in this life! Every year during the holidays I can’t even hold my head up when I go to worship the ancestors of the Che family!”

Looking at her uncle who was still struggling with this matter after so many years, the eldest lady just smiled gently, came behind her uncle, put her hands on his shoulders, and kneaded the shoulders of the only relative of the Che family.

General Che was also helpless towards his only niece. He didn't dare to say harsh words or lose his temper. He could only sigh heavily, turn a blind eye and let this niece do whatever he wanted.

Che Ye was very comfortable being served by his niece, and he no longer minced words: "Tell me, bastard, why did you come to see me this time?"

Zhou Li saw this and said directly: "I also ask General Che to send troops to Rouge County in three days."

"Send troops to Rouge County?!" Che Ye was stunned, and said with an incredulous look on his face: "You kid, are you smart? But you asked your niece to beg me at the beginning, don't let the soldiers get involved in everything in Rouge County, I have to sacrifice my face for this. I just obtained such a decree from His Majesty, even the garrison stayed away from Rouge County, but now you actually ask me to send troops to Rouge County, do you really think that I am a fool? I will do what you say? "

Zhou Li took a deep breath when he heard this: "What I asked for back then was just to protect the Zhou family; what I ask for today is also for the Zhou family."

Zhou Li took out the ancient book that Meng You gave him from his arms and handed it to Che Ye: "This is the design of the heavenly battleship that all dynasties want to get. It has been photographed by the veteran general Che Ye for more than thirty years. Countless spies have come into my Zhou family, all because of this blueprint. This time I, Zhou Li, will exchange it for the lives of the Zhou family and the people of Rouge County. I hope General Che will think twice."

Looking at the ancient books on the table, Che Ye's expression became solemn. The Zhou family's battleship design came from the legendary heaven. In His Majesty's plan, the huge battleship created by this design, It will be the most important part of the "Phantom"'s eastward journey.

Che Ye looked at Zhou Li and said solemnly: "What is it that makes you, a bad guy, ask me for help in person?"

"It's just that some people in the Zhou family have lost their minds. Living in Rouge County has made them forget how big the outside world is."

"What do you want me to do?"

"The Zhou family will solve the Zhou family's affairs by themselves. I just hope General Che can take over Rouge County after the incident."

"According to the information from Chunshui Fang, Zhang Gaolin of the Chen family also left Xiangyang a few days ago. Is it because of this?"

"Old General Che is strategizing, and I can't hide anything from you." "He is the Qi Refiner of the Eighth Floor. I am very curious. Even if you are not as depressed as the rumors say, and you have sealed yourself in the ancestral home, with your Means, how do you plan to deal with such a strong person?"

Zhou Li smiled broadly: "Thirty years of reading scriptures and nourishing one's energy are not wasted time."

Che Ye glanced meaningfully at the man who had always been regarded as a great enemy, and said coldly: "Since you know that I am preparing to march into Rouge County, why do you bother to do so."

"Since the result is the same, it's better to be wiser. Rather than leaving it to Wang Xie, my son-in-law, who is the biggest supporter of the Zhou family, would rather leave it to my uncle, so that I can feel more at ease."

Hearing that this guy who had deceived his niece but called himself uncle for the first time, the old general Cheye snorted coldly: "I didn't even leave a baby behind. I don't dare to call you uncle!"

"Uncle was joking."

Suddenly, Che Ye grabbed his niece's cuff and said without any doubt: "Axiang, stay with me, Zhou family, you are not allowed to go back again."

Although the well-informed old general didn't know what kind of backup plan this bastard Zhou Li had prepared, he did know that since this guy only wanted to finish it off himself, he must have planned it carefully.

Just like the siege of Xiangyang back then, the surprise attack by strange soldiers almost caused a big loss for myself!
Even Wang Xie, who had just emerged at that time, was almost defeated by Zhou Li, who had also just emerged from the Chu army!
As expected, the only niece just smiled at him and shook her head.

Che Ye wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the eldest lady: "Uncle, Axiang is now the wife of the Zhou family. No matter what, I will never leave my husband for half a step."

"Your temper is just like our Che family."

"You bastard." Che Ye looked solemnly at Zhou Li, who was sitting in the wheelchair. "Although I don't know what you think, but just go ahead and do it. You must protect Axiang. If Axiang If there is danger, do you believe that I will let your entire Zhou family be buried with you!"

Zhou Li cupped his fists and responded: "Then my son-in-law will be here in three days, and my uncle will come to Rouge County."

The car was parked in the pavilion, looking at the two people who were slowly going down the mountain with a worried look on their faces.

A shadow suddenly appeared behind Che Ye and said respectfully: "Old general, do you need my subordinates to take action? That Zhang Gaolin?"

Che Ye waved his hand and interrupted the shadow guard: "This bastard boy said that no outsiders will be allowed to interfere."

"But miss."

"Let him go. The children of my Che family are all very stubborn." Che Ye suddenly paused, "You Ming, go to Rouge County. If that bastard boy is in danger, lift Zhang Gaolin's head. Come see me!”

Che Ye, who has been retired from the second line for many years, is full of killing intent: "A guy from the eighth floor actually wants to harm my nephew-in-law?! I'm really tired of living!"

The guard named Netherworld took the order and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The couple had long disappeared from Che Ye's sight.

I just heard that the young man who was ordered to be protected by His Majesty seemed to have arrived in Rouge County.

Che Ye frowned. The information from Chunshuifang said that a certain young master in Xianyang Palace had noticed what happened to this young man.

Jiangnan, which has been peaceful for many years, may be in chaos again with the incident in Rouge County.

Especially the Sword-washing City.

Che Ye had a headache. Just after he unified the world, those civil servants who usually only talked in front of His Majesty began to be unable to suppress the little Jiujiu in their hearts?
Cheye grew up in the village and didn't know much about the truth. But as long as Axiang is in danger, the old general who trained Wang Xie will not care about the impeachment of civilian officials. This little Rouge County will be gone if it is gone. Come on.

It was dark at night, and Che Ye walked along the mountain road to the top of the mountain. There was no trace of anyone around, but Che Ye still said to himself:

"In three days, we will march into Rouge County!"

In the empty mountain forest, only a woman's voice came leisurely!

"Here!"
