Qinghe, who was already waiting in the boat, saw Shuli and looked behind Shuli with a little doubt.
"He chose to stay here." Shu Li stepped onto the boat gently and added, "Under the vast and aimless waves, he found a harbor suitable for his lost soul."
Qinghe didn't understand, he only knew that the King of Hundred Poisons didn't want to leave and was staying, so he nodded casually and held the boat to leave this rare pure land in troubled times.
Shuli leaned against the boat and stretched out her hand to gently caress the gentle lake surface.
She was thinking about going to Shushan.
The scorching sun began to rise, but the mist on the lake suddenly increased in a way that defied the logic of Shu Li's previous life.
Suddenly, several blurry black shadows appeared in the fog ahead. From a distance, it was impossible to see their exact appearance.
Qinghe stopped supporting the boat and stood on the bow, his hand already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Shu Li was like a weak aristocratic lady enjoying the lake, lying lazily on the side of the boat, her delicate and delicate hands still gently playing with the lake surface, as if she was completely unaware of the abnormality.
As we got closer, the blurry black shadow gradually revealed its outline.
It's a boat.
There was a sparse group of people standing on the boat, about ten or so, wearing broken armor and holding spears.
"Brothers, look, I don't know which noble lady it is. She can't hold back the itch and ran out to let us entertain her."
A bearded man looked at the lazy Shu Li, laughed loudly, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Leaning alone on the side of the boat, under the reflection of the sparkling lake, her face is as crystal clear as jade, like a crescent moon, like flowers and trees piled with snow, surrounded by beautiful postures, calm and leisurely, tender and graceful, charming in words, delicate and graceful.
It's so beautiful that it's beyond compare.
Shuli glanced at the boat indifferently and went back to playing in the water.
I just heard a 'gudong' sound.
The unshaven man turned his head and looked at his colleague beside him, and saw that he was burning with desire. He swallowed and tore off his armor and shirt like a wild beast, even though his fingers were pricked with blood.
Didn't feel it.
Thump~
The man jumped off the boat without warning and jumped into the lake.
In an instant, everyone suddenly became clear, and after being stunned, they all looked towards the lake.
All they could see were ripples entering the water and rising bubbles, but their colleagues were nowhere to be seen.
They are sailors, born by the water, and everyone is very aquatic. Even if they enter the water, there will be some movement, but there will be no bubbles like this.
wrong!
The bubbles have stopped popping up now.
moment,
The entire lake fell into deathly silence.
Shu Li was too lazy to care about this group of soldiers and bandits who didn't know where they came from, so she only used the illusion technique on the person with the most disgusting eyes and went about her business.
Qinghe is a guard, and his duty is to guard, not to take the initiative, so when the other party does not take action, he will guard Shuli in front of him.
As for the group of people who were formerly navy soldiers and now became water bandits, they had never seen this evil scene at all, and they were so shocked that they didn't know what to do.
It was obvious that the death of their colleague was closely related to the two people on the opposite boat.
But this method of silently letting their colleagues jump into the lake far exceeded their knowledge, and it also made them realize that the people in front of them were by no means weaklings like those fishermen.
The bearded man with clear eyes suddenly became a little more friendly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Brothers across the way, a few of us brothers got lost in this lake. I wonder if we know which way to go to [Tonghu Village]
.”
Qinghe looked at the man quietly without answering, but he never moved his hand from the sword hilt.
"Since little brother doesn't know, then I won't bother you."
There was no mention in his words of the colleague who had just fallen into the water.
They were deserters to begin with. If they were really not afraid of death, their bones would have become food in the bellies of wild beasts or fish and shrimps.
Rather than risking his life to avenge his colleagues, it is better to escape quickly before provoking the two people in front of him.
As for the numerical advantage?
Don't be kidding. With their three-legged skills, they don't even know how their colleagues died just now. Isn't it bad to be alive?
The bearded man glanced at his colleagues around him, and then everyone worked hard to push the boat away in the opposite direction to Shuli.
Although the group of people had left, Qinghe still maintained a vigilant posture.
"They left." Shuli said softly.
Qinghe then relaxed, picked up the pole again, pushed aside the mist, and rowed back.
It seems that the seeds planted in Chu State a long time ago have begun to take root and sprout, and are now beginning to stir up the situation in Chu State.
On the way back, Shuli and the others encountered bandits holding wooden sticks to block the road more than once. In fact, they were a group of civilians who had to leave their homes because of the war.
Or they encounter soldiers and bandits with armored weapons, occupying some important roads, selecting easy pedestrians or caravans, killing people and robbing goods.
The former is slightly better, but it relies on large numbers of people and momentum. Usually it only requires money, not lives. When encountering refugees who are also fleeing, they will even take them back to the village and live with them.
The latter is much more cruel, and will kill people if they attack, and women will become slaves.
In the two waves of soldiers and bandits that Shuli encountered in the village, she saw women who had lost any trace of their humanity after being captured. The lack of clothing was considered a compliment.
It was only a few tentative battles that broke out, but it had already caused the area to be infested with soldiers and bandits, and the people were in dire straits.
On the way, Shuli and Qinghe left Chu State while riding a caravan from the [Business Alliance] heading to South Korea.
Along the way, in addition to some refugees fleeing the war, Shuli also saw many people in strange costumes, similar to the costumes worn by the King of Hundred Poisons before.
It seems that the Baiyue people who have been exiled in various countries are beginning to return.
"That's what he said." Shuli looked at Tianze indifferently, her eyes calm and unwavering.
Tianze stared at the special jade bamboo utensil in his hand. There was a dead Gu mother inside, which was a reward given by his father to the Gu master in the palace in the early years. It had more meaning of honor.
As the chief witch and Gu master, the King of Hundred Poisons must have obtained the most special one, which is the black jade in Tianze's hand that is very similar to bamboo. It is of great benefit to the mother of witches and the poison will be a hundred times more powerful.
For every witchcraft master who obtains this jade bamboo tube, he would rather destroy it before death than keep it.
Looking at the color of the black jade, Tianze knew that Baidu King had never used it to raise Gu, but rather used it as a memorial to the memory of the late king.
Therefore, Tianze believed most of what Shu Li said. The King of Hundred Poisons did indeed stay in that [Jinghu Medical Village] out of his own choice.
only
In order to seek solace in this troubled world and war, I found my spiritual haven deep in Daze, and indulged myself in the land of gentleness.
Such disgusting and disgusting words, no matter how hard you think about it, it is impossible to say it from the mouth of the King of Hundred Poisons.
After lowering his eyebrows and thinking for a moment, Tianze still couldn't figure out the reason, so he put away the jade bamboo tube and looked at Shuli, "Qin's cavalry has captured three cities in South Korea, will you come to Xinzheng again?"
Shu Li shook her head, "This is your stage, I will not participate."
Tianze secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With Shuli's strength, he could really block an entire country by himself, but he was also a little disappointed. If Shuli took action, he would easily become the King of Baiyue.
