Zhao Hua shook his head and felt a little more awake.

Feeling the salty handkerchief in his mouth, Zhao Hua rolled his eyes and started to twist.

"Be honest!" Chengmen Lieutenant yelled, raising the whip in his hand.

Zhao Hua was itching his teeth with hatred, but he didn't dare to move anymore - he still understood the principle that a good man should not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss.

When you walk into Quyang City, you will see two neat rows of brick houses. Pedestrians on the roadside rub shoulders with each other, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another - an incredible scene of prosperity.

Pedestrians on the roadside looked at Zhao Hua who was placed on horseback and tied tightly, and they all clicked their tongues.

"Another detailed masterpiece from the Yue Kingdom."

“We’ve caught a lot recently!”

The city gate captain and several soldiers escorted Zhao Hua until they walked to a mansion that looked like a fortress.

Zhao Hua reluctantly raised his head. There were four big characters on the plaque: Quyang Junfu.

Qu Yangjun? Oh, there is a Qu Yangjun. It seems that this is Xiong Wei's territory?

No, isn’t Xiong Wei already dead?

Zhao Hua was in a daze, and his brain could hardly move!

Only a few faint barks of dogs were heard, and then the city gate captain respectfully reported to the concierge: "Another piece of fine work from the Yue Kingdom... Yes, the clothes are all Yue people's style, they should be genuine... Leave it to Mr. Zhong

Already."

Then there was a lot of tossing, and finally Zhao Hua was twisted into a dark and narrow dungeon.

The handkerchief in his mouth was finally taken out. Although his hands were still tightly tied, Zhao Hua still felt like he had been reborn!

The soldier at the door knocked on the railing expressionlessly: "Don't cause trouble, wait until General Zhong comes to interrogate you."

Zhao Hua was so anxious that he gritted his teeth - a good fighter plane to attack Vietnam had been formed, but he was caught by a bunch of mud-legged men!

I'm so angry! I'm so angry!

"Hurry up and get that General Lao Shizi Zhong over. I have top-secret information!" Zhao Hua shouted.

"I know, don't make any noise!" the soldier yelled and walked out.

…

After a while, heavy footsteps came from the door. Zhao Hua's ears moved slightly, and he could vaguely hear the sound of armor plates clashing.

The cell door opened, and a bright-looking man strode in. The soldiers on both sides raised their hands in unison: "General Zhong."

Zhong Hua waved his hand, and a row of soldiers filed in, holding whips, steel nails, soldering irons, charcoal, pliers, sticks... and a bundle of candles in their hands...

Zhao Hua was frightened and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Zhong Hua nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the person caught this time was a soft kid - that would be much easier to handle. Zhong Hua looked up at the ground and asked: "Name? Gender?"

Ever since the last time Xiong Wuliang interrogated the hairy-chested monster Shaohu, Zhong Hua had gotten into the bad habit of asking about his gender during interrogation. Such unexpected questions can often give the person being interrogated a mental blow.

The corners of Zhao Hua's mouth twitched slightly.

"Shao Hua."

"male……"

Zhao Hua gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "There is important information in my clothes. General Zhong might as well take it out and take a look."

Zhong Hua nodded with satisfaction.

This time, Yue Guo’s work was very cooperative!

Two Quyang sergeants stepped forward, touched Zhao Hua's chest, took out the huge token from inside, and handed it to Zhong Hua.

Zhong Hua took a closer look and saw that the token had complex patterns and exquisite shape, with a large word "Mi" clearly visible.

Zhao Hua glared at Zhong Hua fiercely and gritted his teeth: "The special envoy of the King of Chu is here, why don't you loosen your hold on me!"

Zhong Hua was shocked and stood up immediately: "How come these killers caught the special envoy as if he were a spy!"

"Left and right, quickly release the special envoy!"

"You have this token, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Zhong Hua complained loudly.

“It just adds a lot of workload to us!”

Zhao Hua's eyelids twitched slightly - I really want to take it out, have you guys given me a chance?

…

Xiong Wuliang paced with his hands behind his back.

Since the Spring Festival, there has been obvious chaos near the Chu-Vietnam border.

In several border cities, including [Quyang], [Zhongli], and [Gaoping], a large number of Yue nationality craftsmen were found flowing across the borders.

At the beginning of spring alone, the militiamen of Quyang County arrested more than 40 Yue nationals.

It's really creepy.

The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building!

According to the course of history, the world-famous Battle of Da Chu and Tun Yue will break out this year, and these trivial details on the border also show that this war is already brewing.

"My lord, General Zhong would like to ask you to go to the dungeon." A sergeant from Quyang ran in from the door and said respectfully.

Xiong Wuliang hummed and stood up: "What happened?"

…

"Lord Zhao Hua, I am disrespectful and disrespectful!" Xiong Wuliang smiled broadly and strode into the dungeon.

Prince Mi Heng had secretly reminded Xiong Wuliang that once a man named Zhao Hua came back from Yue, it would mean that there was going to be a war!

Xiong Wuliang said that I have been waiting for this day for a long time!

Today's Quyang County has Quyang Army and Shaohu Army with a total of one thousand sergeants. They are well-equipped and have abundant military resources such as arrows, food and grass.

Xiong Wuliang believed that even in the entire Chu Kingdom, there were only a few lords who could be as fully prepared as he was.

Zhao Hua had been untied a long time ago and sat in the corner of the dungeon, shaking his sleeves angrily: "Quyang County is really a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!"

Xiong Wuliang stepped forward to edit with a smile.

The reason why Master Mi Liang was so polite to Zhao Hua was mainly because he wanted to obtain first-hand information about the Yue Kingdom!

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger. Seeing that the war is about to begin, Lord Quyang Xiong Wuliang will definitely enlist in the battle. Knowing more about the enemy's situation will help him to be prepared.

Xiong Wuliang invited Zhao Hua into the study, poured water and made tea himself. In short, the service was very good.

Seeing that Xiong Wuliang was a nobleman but was still very polite to him, the anger in Zhao Hua's heart gradually calmed down.

Xiong Wuliang raised his hands to Zhao Hua Gong: "A misunderstanding made Master Zhao laugh."

Zhao Hua waved his hand: "Forget it, I want a fast horse and some dry food. I have to rush back to Yingdu as soon as possible, and I have no time to argue with you."

Xiong Wuliang coughed dryly: "There will be enough for fast horses, and there will also be dry food... I have something unclear, please call Master Hua to clear up my confusion."

Although Zhao Hua was a little impatient, he was quite impressed by the polite tone of a great lord like Xiong Wuliang. Zhao Hua slowed down his tone and said, "I dare not teach you anything. What do you want to ask the unscrupulous young master?"

Xiong Wuliang stood up and asked, "Senior Zhao is returning to Chu from Yue. Does it mean that Chu will soon send troops to Yue?"

Zhao Hua was startled and took a careful look at Xiong Wuliang. He was obviously very surprised by Xiong Wuliang's well-informed situation.

Xiong Wuliang saw Zhao Hua's suspicion and was afraid of implicating the prince Mi Heng who had tipped off the information, so he quickly added: "Master Zhao, don't panic, it's all my private speculation."

Zhao Hua had no doubt that he was there, and secretly clicked his tongue.

This little-known Xiong Wuliang actually has such a keen sense of war.

It’s really extraordinary!

Look at the Quyang County under his governance...it is already very different from the scene when I passed by Quyang on my way to Yue Country a few years ago!

The fields are flat, the people are prosperous, the government is clear and bright, and everything is prosperous.

This only son of the late Xiong Wei will definitely become a famous official of the Chu Dynasty in the future!

Thinking of this, Zhao Hua sternly said: "Yes, in three to five days, or in one month, our great Chu will march eastward in a big way!"

At this point, there is no need to keep it secret anymore.

When Zhao Hua returned to Yingdu, King Huai of Chu would soon issue a large number of military orders.

At that time, Chu's army will gather towards the Chu-Yue border, and noble lords like Xiong Wuliang will also be recruited by the King of Chu, leading their personal guards to report to the army and send troops together.

Xiong Wuliang was delighted when he heard this.

What was supposed to come finally came.

According to the course of history, this battle will be a great victory without any suspense.

The remnants of the Yue Kingdom were torn apart, and the Chu army was invincible under the leadership of the Yue Kingdom's "Leading Party".

When the time comes, all I have to do is live in peace and order my soldiers to plunder the treasuries in various parts of the country, and it will be a gluttonous feast!

Zhao Hua pondered for a moment. He wanted to have a good relationship with this outstanding young Qu Yangjun, so he explained a few words in detail——
To be continued...
