The Qin Empire.

The northern border, outside Jiuyuan County!

Among the grasslands.

Liu Ji had been fleeing for some time with some people.

They went tens of miles into the grassland, subdued and controlled dozens of wild horses, cattle and sheep, and built houses.

However, due to the war, I had to escape and went far away to the mountains and forests.

Life on the grassland is too difficult, with only goat's milk, cow's milk, and mare's milk!

No vegetables, no fruits, no salt.

If you want to eat fruit, you have to look for fruit trees to find only a few sour and small fruits. For vegetables, you can only eat wild vegetables, which are bitter and astringent.

There is no seasoning, and even the oil needs to be refined by grilling some animals.

There is no salt. If you want to replenish salt, you can only follow the beasts to find some ores and lick the salty stones.

Even the water source is not sufficient, and you can occasionally find some creeks and lakes.

Because of the unfamiliar terrain and fear of losing water sources, they can only live in one place for a long time.

More importantly, the environment is so bad, with mosquitoes everywhere, snakes, insects, rats, and ants innumerable.

On the hillside, there are rows of small wooden houses and thatched sheds.

"Oh, when will this kind of day end!"

A strong man stood on the top of the mountain, looking in the direction of Da Qin, and couldn't help but sigh, feeling very depressed.

"I want to go back. I don't know what's going on with my family. They must have been beheaded!"

"Oh, oh, oh, it was me who hurt you."

"I want to go back to Daqin. Life in this grassland is too difficult..."

Among the team of more than 200 people, a small number of people already want to go back.

Although Liu Ji was a supervisor of hundreds of people, he obviously had a good reputation. He had summoned more than 300 people, but some of them died.

"well……"

Liu Jicheng sighed, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Brother, I know you are all homesick and life on the grassland is extremely difficult, but think about it, if the Great Wall collapses, we will definitely be on the wanted list after we escape!"

"Going back at this time will mean death!"

"Do you want to be beheaded or cut into pieces with a thousand swords?"

Liu Ji sighed, acting like he was doing it for their own good, and questioned everyone.

The burly man and others were really frightened, and for a moment they murmured.

The middle-aged man Wei Cang who had followed Liu Ji before, as well as Zhang Teng and others known as Xiao Zhang, also helped Liu Ji speak, saying in alarm: "If you go back, you will die, and you will also be punished.

It’s better to die!”

"The officials of the Great Qin Empire will cut off your nose, shave off your diaphragm, flog you with a cane, or even castrate you, and then cut your bodies into pieces..."

"If we stay here, at least we can live freely. You have to think clearly!"

The burly man and others originally thought about going back, but after being frightened like this, they gave up their thoughts again.

Liu Ji looked at everyone, then looked back in the direction of the Qin Empire, overlooking the vast grassland.

Deep in his eyes, there were flickering colors that were difficult to distinguish.

To this day.

Liu Ji already had some ideas in his mind.

"Now the six countries are rebelling against the Qin Dynasty, and even now the Huns are going south to attack the Qin Dynasty!"

"It can be said that the world is in chaos, and the Qin Empire may be gone, so I might as well take advantage of the chaos to achieve something!"

Although he had been building the Great Wall on the border before, he also heard the news of the rebellion by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

Moreover, although Liu Ji was a gangster, as the pavilion chief and a basic official of the Qin Dynasty, he still had some knowledge.

And read the book!

Liu Ji's family is not ordinary people. How can ordinary people become the pavilion chief, and how can they prevent him from giving birth?

His ancestor was a senior official of the Jin Dynasty. Even if it has been passed down from generation to generation until now, he still had a well-to-do family and was a rich farmer.

Moreover, he has worshiped Lord Xinling since he was a child and traveled around, which also requires money!

Therefore, Liu Ji is not an ordinary commoner, but a noble, knowledgeable and insightful person from his ancestors.

"I must take advantage of this chaotic time to build a career and gain power!"

Liu Ji clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with viciousness. He remembered that Ying Ziye punished him and made him a useless person.

"If the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, then I can take the opportunity to take revenge and kill the Eighth Young Master!"

"When the time comes, we will also turn him into a eunuch..."

Liu Ji's heart was filled with excitement and pride.

But doing these things requires planning.

Liu Ji sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed.

Then he called Wei Cang, Zhang Teng and other younger brothers to secretly plan and discuss together.

Sunset dusk.

Night falls!

Outside the wooden house on the hill, a bonfire burned brightly, illuminating the surrounding area.

Liu Ji and a group of younger brothers drank fruit wine, bragging and expressing their depression.

The fire was scorching, and the mountain breeze was blowing and swaying constantly.

Hiss!

A white snake approached quietly and nestled on the rock next to the fire, enjoying the warmth.

When one person saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Snake, there is a snake!"

When the others heard this, they all looked over.

But he saw a snow-white python, about the thickness of an arm, and two feet long.

"Tsk, what a big snake!"

Some people lamented, but they were not afraid.

"What a big snake, it's obviously just a small snake, and it can't swallow people!"

The strong man said disdainfully.

"snort!"

Liu Ji looked at the white snake and said with a smile: "I just used the snake gallbladder to make wine, and then ate the snake meat to satisfy my craving."

bass!

He immediately pulled out a long sword that he had stolen from the Great Wall when he was running away.

Swing out a sword!

The blade of the sword reflected the moonlight, making it extremely cold.

Bang!

However, a sword struck the stone.

Hiss!

The white snake dodged the blow, swallowing the snake's message, and stared coldly at the person who dared to kill it.

Liu Ji's sword failed, but he couldn't hold back his strength and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he shook his body and stabilized himself.

"Pfft!"

Seeing this scene, the strong man couldn't help laughing.

Being stared directly at by White Snake with fierce eyes, Liu Ji felt a chill in his heart and felt that something was not good.

"Brother, get away quickly!"

Zhang Teng called out.

But the white snake coiled its body, soared high into the air, and pounced on Liu Ji.

Long fangs, extremely sharp!

A stench came rushing towards me.
