The wind in the early spring was still a bit chilly, so I wore a fur cloak tightly wrapped around my body and rode on my horse at full speed, traveling day and night, straight to the capital of Ying.

Zhao Hua was a famous aristocratic minister of Chu State and a well-known minister of the anti-Qin faction. He had many confrontations with Zhang Yi, the former famous Qin Prime Minister, and his talents were very outstanding.

Moreover, this guy is also a well-known top nobleman - his ancestors can be traced back to King Chu Miao (the guy who appointed Wu Qi to reform the Chu Kingdom). It can be said that Zhao Hua can be regarded as a top minister in terms of bloodline and status.

It was such an important minister who was secretly sent to the State of Yue by the King of Chu, where he worked underground for five years.

Today's Yue Kingdom is called upon to use its own strength to turn the world upside down.

Surging passion surged in Zhao Hua's heart, and it seemed that the spring breeze on the horse's back was no longer so cold. While Zhao Hua was galloping, he wanted to laugh heartily.

It’s time to close the net!

…

Zhao Hua galloped on his horse, not sparing any power - he slapped the horse's butt hard under his crotch, and kicked the horse's belly repeatedly with his calves.

The war horse suffered pain and seemed to be a little faster.

The Chu State is located in the south and has always had few war horse resources. Such horses must be strictly protected, but Zhao Hua knew the importance of his mission and could not spare the precious war horses.

Seeing the horse foaming at the mouth under his crotch, Zhao Hua took a deep breath, put up a pergola and looked at it from a distance, feeling refreshed!

A city appeared in the distance, with a big word "Zhongli" on the gate.

When the soldiers at the city gate saw Zhao Hua riding his horse from afar, they seemed to have no intention of slowing down. They couldn't help but raise their spears and swords as if they were facing a formidable enemy...

"Special envoy of the King of Chu! Don't stop me!" Zhao Hua shouted, took out something from his arms with his right hand, and flicked it hard.

The Chengmen Lieutenant was a literate man. He stretched out his hand to copy it and took a closer look. It was a token with only one big word on it - "Mi".

The city gate captain took a breath of air and led the soldiers to kneel on the ground: "The Zhongli defenders pay homage to the king's special envoy!"

Zhao Hua had already rushed straight into the city on horseback, leaving everyone with a dashing figure behind him...

Zhao Hua did not stay in Zhongli for long. He held the token and naturally went wild. He rushed to the inn to change a fast horse, leaving the poor horse behind him in Zhongli to recuperate, and ate a few more mouthfuls.

Momo, after drinking two sips of cold water, he mounted his horse again.

‘From [Zhongli] to the west along the Huai River, we will reach [Quyang].’ Zhao Hua muttered silently in his heart.

…

From the moment he entered the realm of Quyang, Zhao Hua felt something was wrong.

The smile on the face of the old farmer on the roadside was a little too bright.

The road under the horses' hooves is also tight and smooth, and the rammed earth road is paved with a smooth layer of gravel. On both sides of the road, a row of landscape trees are sprouting.

In the farmland, spring plowing had already begun, but the plows in the hands of the farmers were strange in shape, and their movements did not resemble plowing movements—Zhao Huan was confused.

Since he was busy with official duties, Zhao Hua just suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to gallop.

Feeling that the horse under his legs was already a little tired, Zhao Hua rode his horse to the roadside and greeted the old farmer in the field: "Old man!"

Those farmers were working, and when they saw someone coming on a horse, dressed in luxurious clothes, they started to pay attention. Seeing that the man on the horse got off the horse, and went straight towards them, the farmers couldn't help but

They looked at each other.

Zhao Hua held the reins of the horse with one hand and clasped his fists in his hands: "A few old men and juniors came from outside the county and want to ask for directions."

Upon hearing this, several old farmers immediately looked at each other meaningfully, but did not reply.

Zhao Hua didn't notice anything strange about these people. After all, the people in front of him had dark skin and calluses on their hands. At first glance, they were honest farmers. He had already lowered his guard. Seeing that these people didn't talk to each other, Zhao Hua thought they were them.

It's because I'm a little scared, or I want some benefits.

Zhao Hua smiled kindly and took out a few strings of copper coins from his sleeves: "Dear gentlemen, I'm just passing by, I don't mean any harm."

The oldest old farmer took the copper coin from Zhao Hua's hand and said with a smile: "My lord, I don't know what I want to know, but I know everything!"

Zhao Hua smiled with satisfaction: "I come from Yue, and I dare to ask my father-which way should we go to Quyang City?"

The old farmer and the others looked at each other meaningfully, and laughed, showing his crooked teeth. Before Zhao Hua could react, the old farmer grabbed Zhao Hua's sleeve with one hand.

"You are the legendary spy from the Yue Kingdom that Master Xiong told us to be wary of!"

Zhao Hua didn't understand what the old farmer was saying, but when he saw several farmers rushing towards him, he hurriedly reached for his waist to pull out the sword from his waist.

However, the old farmer held Zhao Hua's hand tightly, preventing him from pulling out the sword. The farmer's strength was beyond Zhao Hua's expectation. Before he could resist, Zhao Hua was thrown to the ground by several old farmers and held down firmly.

His hands and feet were tied up and he couldn't move.

"There is no car behind you, and you are riding a horse alone. It is definitely not a business trip!"

"Brother! I've heard that Old Man Zhao from the west of the village captured a group of spies a few days ago and received many rewards from the Lord. I never thought that we would catch up with such good things!" A farmer said with obvious excitement in his tone.

.

"Stop making noise, tie him up quickly!" the older farmer scolded.

Zhao Hua had not had a good rest for many days, but now he was thrown to the ground by this group of farmers and almost fainted. With a big mouthful of loess in his mouth, Zhao Hua felt drowsily that someone had put his

He put his hands behind his back and tied them up with something.

After hearing what these old farmers said, Zhao Hua was so anxious that he didn't have time to spit out the sand and soil in his mouth, so he hurriedly said: "Everyone! I am also from Chu. I don't mean any harm. I am just passing by here. It's not some extravagance.

!”

The old farmer chuckled behind him and tied the rope tightly: "I still want to fool the old man. Our militiamen have caught eight spies like you if not ten. Old man, I have been to the farm to give a lecture on preventing spies.

Yes, your disguise is the worst."

"I am the envoy of the King of Chu, and I have the king's token on my waist. Let me go quickly!" Zhao Hua struggled hard.

A stern-faced farmer next to him snorted and said impatiently: "Don't make any noise!" He took out a wrinkled handkerchief from his arms and stuffed it into Zhao Hua's mouth.

Seeing that the handkerchief was dirty and wrinkled, he couldn't tell what color it was. Zhao Hua was opening his mouth to speak, but he didn't react for a while and the handkerchief was stuffed into his mouth.

There was a smell of salt in the mouth, and Zhao Hua was shocked!

Zhao Hua, who had lived the life of a nobleman since childhood, had never been exposed to such things even though he was not a mysophobic.

The smell of sweat from the handkerchief made his mind go blank. Zhao Hua could hardly believe it, or rather he couldn't understand what these people had done to him.

Zhao Hua made a sound of vomiting, and the few things left in his stomach came up. However, his mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief, but he couldn't spit it out. Feeling the strong taste of vomit in his mouth, Zhao Hua rolled his eyes.

, passed out semi-consciously.

…

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Hua woke up in a daze and saw a magnificent fortified city in front of him.

I heard the gate captain at the city gate say something to a few old farmers, and waved his hand.
Chapter completed!
