A weeping willow grows alone on the top of the mountain. The hanging willow branches are like a cover, covering the square stone below. From the mottled bark of this weeping willow and the large and small tree holes covered with large and small trees, it can be seen that it is really old.

When the two sides fought a lot a few days ago, the Taiping Army's eagle flag was tied to its treetops and fluttered high, or for this reason, he avoided the fate of being cut off.

When the grass is growing and the flowers are blooming in spring, the willow branches are covered with lush leaves, stacked together, covering the stone inside tightly. Standing outside, you can only vaguely see the two figures inside. Only occasionally the wind comes can you see who the two sitting cross-legged inside.

That was Mr. Liu, the real owner of Shayang County, and Qin Feng, the boss of the Taiping Army.

A few meters away from the willow tree, standing were the four masters of Shayang County and the generals of the Taiping Army, Zhang Xiaomao, Wild Dog, Zou Ming, Dazhu and others.

At the foot of the mountain, the army was cleaning up the battlefield. For them, the Shuntian Army was a quarrel of poverty. There was basically no spoil to be recovered. Instead, there were piles of corpses gathered like mountains. If they were not cleaned up immediately in this season, it would be very easy to spread the plague.

The original defense facilities were all dismantled and turned into piles of fires. In the fire, Bibi peeled off the bodies of the people who died in the Shuntian Army. No one cared about their surnames, nor did anyone care about their youth. Several soldiers raised a dead body, shouted, and threw the body into the fire. The fire became a little darker, but even higher flames immediately rose up. In the air, a tormenting smell was floating around.

At the foot of Qianliu Mountain and on the banks of Lai River, hundreds of such fires were burning, and countless corpses disappeared in the fire. The dead people would not leave any information, because their ashes would soon turn into fertilizers in the fields, or food for fish in the Lai River.

"This is war!" Old Master Liu looked at the burning fire at the foot of the mountain with complicated eyes, and his face felt compassionate: "I don't like war. The old man lived for most of his life and was in a peaceful environment. Although the border has been fighting for many years, overall, our Shayang has always been very calm and comfortable. But now, everything has changed."

"No one likes war!" Qin Feng nodded, poured a bowl of water from a pottery jar, and pushed it to Mr. Liu, "It's better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled person, that's the truth."

Holding up this rough big bowl, Old Master Liu shook his head with emotion: "To be honest, if it weren't for this war, I really couldn't imagine that a bowl like this would be held in my hands. To say something offensive, my dog ​​bowl was more refined than him."

Qin Feng laughed loudly, "Old Master Liu has been a child, so of course he won't use these rough guys, but I think, now Shayang County, I'm afraid that many people can't even use this."

"Yes, a damn war!" Old Master Liu sighed, raised his neck and drank the water. "My always dream is that Shayang County will never be disturbed by war, and will always be as calm as breath."

"If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached?" Qin Feng smiled and said, "The world is so popular. I'm afraid the old man will do anything? Just like this war, if you don't go to find people, people will come to you. Shayang County is rich and has a large population. The so-called crime of possessing a treasure is this. Molo stares at this place, and Qi people are also staring at this place. Shayang County is destined not to be calm."

Old Master Liu pondered for a moment and looked at Qin Feng: "If Shayang County was handed over to General Qin's hands, what would General Qin do?"

Qin Feng was slightly stunned and looked up at Old Master Liu. For a moment, he didn't reply.

Old Master Liu smiled and said, "Don't be surprised by General Qin. The old man has lived for decades and has more or less a little bit of a problem. Although General Qin claims his surname is Li, I still found out some interesting things."

"Old Master Liu is really well-informed. Where did the news come from the Qin people?" After a little stunned, Qin Feng had already returned to his calm expression.

"Yes, I still have some friends from where the Qin people." Old Master Liu nodded, "Actually, since you appeared in Yanshan and captured the child alive, I was wondering, who are you? Where did it come from? At first, I thought you were pretending to be Qi people, and their intention was to capture Shayang County."

Qin Feng smiled.

"But then the death of Kou Qun came. I thought it was just a conspiracy of the Qi people, but based on some information obtained later, you must not be a Qi people."

"It seems that Old Master Liu has eyes and ears on the Qi people." Qin Feng smiled.

"As people live for a long time, they will naturally know more friends and more sources of information." Old Master Liu laughed, "I was surprised. Shayang County is so big. Where did you people emerge? Later, by chance, I learned about the Nanchu Imperial Camp, and some things in the Luoying Mountains. I also knew about the whereabouts of the Imperial Camp and the remaining troops of the Imperial Camp were unknown."

"With the information I have obtained, this team is led by a man named Zhang Xiaozheng. Look, that's the one!" Through the hanging willow branches, Old Master Liu pointed to the kitten who was whispering with the wild dog. "I specially sent people to the Qin border army and learned more. Sometimes, money is still very useful, especially for the Qin border army, who is so poor that he is very poor."

"Although General Qin's pseudonym Li Feng, this is no secret for me. Who else can besides General Qin, who can make Zhang Xiaozheng and Gan Wei obey the two former generals of the Death Camp?" Old Master Liu laughed and said, "General is really a legendary figure. The old man has not yet figured out what happened in Shangjing. What is going on?"

Qin Feng lowered his head, and a strange expression flashed in his eyes, but he was unanswerable.

"I fought several times in the Hall of Hell between the lines of life and death, and Qin Feng was gone."

"I understand, I understand!" Old Master Liu nodded, "When I go to check these past events, the old man has no malicious intentions. I just want to know what the person I am about to entrust is? Is there any ability to ensure the safety of Shayang County? I hope General Qin can understand."

"Of course." Qin Feng smiled.

"But General Qin is also relieved. No third person knows about this matter except me and my housekeeper Liu Bao. But General Qin, please forgive me for saying that since you have chosen this path, your identity will sooner or later be invisible. There will be the day when it will be exposed. How do you plan to face it? What I mean is, Princess Zhaohua!"

A flash of flush flashed across Qin Feng's face, and he said for a while: "I have been walking on the edge of death. I haven't thought about this problem yet. Maybe, maybe..."

"I understand!" Old Master Liu nodded slightly, "No matter what, that was a strange woman. Anyway, the old man admired her so much that he was full of energy. I hope you will have a good ending when you meet again in the future."

"I hope!" Qin Feng smiled bitterly.

"General Qin, let's not talk about these off-topics. Let's get back to the point. If Shayang County is handed over to you, what are you going to do?" Old Master Liu's face became serious. "The old man is already declining, but he is still worried about Shayang County."

Qin Feng picked up the thick bowl in front of him and took a sip of water slowly, "Old Master, whether you admit it or not, this world has reached a great chaos, and the chaos between the four countries is about to break out."

Dipped his fingers in water, Qin Feng casually drew a simple picture on the stone slab, "Qi State wants to unify the world, and the new emperor of Chu State also had the same idea. The war between these two countries was about to break out and it was inevitable. Qin State was weak. In this war, he would definitely help Chu State with all his strength in the early stage to make Qi and Chu State balance the strength as much as possible. For this reason, Emperor Qi launched a war against Vietnam, turning the original situation of the three countries' resistance to Qi into a two-two confrontation.

Although it was a clever move, it also gave the Qin people the opportunity. Did Emperor Qin not have ambition? Next, he would strongly support the State of Chu, and at the same time he would strengthen the war against Yue. They would attempt to swallow Yue and strengthen their own strength. In the end, a situation of the three kingdoms fighting for hegemony was formed. Once the State of Yue lost the war against Qin, the people of Qi would immediately send troops to swallow Yue and the territory close to them. Shayang County is now the first to be blasted."

Old Master Liu's face was bitter, "According to your analysis, no matter how the situation changes, Yue Guo will not be spared!"

"Not bad!" Qin Feng nodded affirmatively, "The weak are always the first to be sacrificed in this game."

"You want to win in chaos and eat with the tiger's mouth?" Old Master Liu frowned, "But your current strength is even more worth mentioning."

"We are on the road!" Qin Feng stared at Old Master Liu, "Heroes come from troubled times, and Yue Kingdom is destined to no longer exist in the near future, but we can take this opportunity to become stronger. Molo also thought so, but if he took the wrong path, he was destined to be the first person to be destroyed."

"If Shayang County wants to survive, the people of Shayang County want to control their own destiny. First of all, they need a strong army. The truth cannot be said by mouth, but by fists. Only when your fists are hard enough, will someone listen to what you say. Old Master Liu handed Shayang County to my hands. The first thing I did was to let Shayang County have an army that is enough to make people fear. Whether it is alignment or opposition to Yue."

"With the prosperity of Shayang County, we can build a powerful army, first attack Moro, take Changyang County, and then fight against Qi to the east, and strive to recover lost territory."

"In the name of the Taiping Army?"

"The name can be called Taiping Army, but at the beginning, we were still Shayang County soldiers."

Old Master Liu thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, you want to try your best to continue the existence of Yue Kingdom. During this period, you will continue to expand your strength and erode the territory of Yue Kingdom."
