Chapter 430 The mouse becomes the cat’s bridesmaid! Ying Chengyu is here to collect debts!
Chen Li's posture was good enough, and Yao Jia quickly stopped laughing and scolding the thieves.
In just an instant, Yao Jia's attitude changed from a thieves to a respected minister!
With a dignified gesture, Yao Jia bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "Yao Jia, Shangqing of the Qin Dynasty, has met Chen Yishi and all the righteous people!"
His voice is as loud as a bell, and his spirit is as steady as a mountain. .
Although he was standing alone among the water bandits, he exaggerated the solemnity of the court meeting and made the bandits look at each other in confusion.
The thieves suddenly realized that the person who had just discussed with them how many ways to play women and how many ways to play men was not only one of their colleagues, but also the highest-level leader of the most powerful country today. one!
When he is happy, Yao Jia can talk to them about interesting things in a clear and logical manner.
If they offend him, Yao Jia can kill them with just one order!
The atmosphere suddenly became serious.
But the solemn look on Yao Jia's face faded away in an instant, and he put on a gentle smile again: "There are plenty of fish and shrimps in Daze."
"There are dense fields on Daze."
< br>“Everyone who comes and goes is a righteous man,”
“Where did he come from?”
“Chen Yishi is too modest.”
The somewhat ambitious water bandits raised their heads proudly.
The Chu State's bandit-suppressing army had already been transferred to the front line before it had time to bite Peng Lize's hard bone.
This allowed Peng Lize to focus all his energy on reclaiming wasteland.
Most of the islands in the lake that used to be covered with weeds have now been turned into fertile farmland.
In the late autumn of last year, Pengli Ze was already a scene of a good harvest with waves of wheat blown by the wind.
They can have enough to eat! How can this not make them proud!
However, Chen Li's eyes became more alert: "Yao Shangqing has oversold you."
"Even if my brothers and I try our best to cultivate land, we can only turn the acres of land in the lake into fields. , there are only a few patches of middle land, and there is no fertile land at all.”
“We are just a group of savages who don’t want to cause trouble. We try our best to get enough food, that’s all. "
"I really don't deserve Yao Shangqing's praise."
In the eyes of the powerful people of Chu State, all the good things in the Chu land, such as fertile land and beauties, belong to the powerful people.
Only those things that they despise will be fought over with their lives by the common people and thieves.
Chen Li didn't know if Yao Jia would be as greedy as the dignitaries of Chu State. Seeing that they had cultivated some acres of land, he fell in love with Penglize.
If Yao Jia falls in love with Peng Lize, there will be a bloody battle in the future!
Seeing that Chen Li was so vigilant, Yao Jia knew that he could not continue to deal with the temptation.
If the deal continues, not only will Yao Jia not be able to get any useful information from Chen Li, but he may be driven out of Penglize by Chen Li!
So Yao Jia shook his head helplessly: "If Chen Yishi's words reach the ears of Lord Chang'an."
"I don't know what Lord Chang'an will think."
Chen His sharp right hand unconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword, and his muscles all over his body were tense. His whole body had subconsciously entered a fighting state, and his voice became colder and colder: "Yao Shangqing intends to threaten me with Lord Chang'an!"
"Chen I know that Lord Chang'an has won consecutive battles, and he is indeed an unprecedented general, already as powerful as Lord Wu'an in the past."
"Chen Mou even knows that Lord Chang'an built the Chang'an plow, which will greatly benefit Guizhou Province."
"Of course, Penglize belongs to us!"
"It was Lord Changan of Qin who led an army to besiege Penglize. We are waiting for him. We will also use every waterway and every island in Penglize as a basis."
"Fight to the end with Lord Chang'an!"
Faced with every group of officers and soldiers who come to suppress the bandits. Lidu City will issue such an announcement.
Although Tao Guang and Wu Zhe didn't know why their talks broke down, they all shouted angrily:
"Protect my homeland! Fight to the end!"
With the noise from the island in the middle of the lake, The roars of the water bandits in Penglize rang out one after another from the surrounding islands:
"Protect my homeland! Fight bloody battle to the end!"
No matter who comes, no matter which group of bandits is attacked, as long as The officers and soldiers are here to attack. I, Peng Lize, all the water bandits will definitely help!
Faced with the threatening announcement that resounded throughout Penglize, Yao Jia did not panic in his eyes, but felt a little relieved: "When Chang'an Jun ordered the Chang'an plow to be sent into Penglize, many people tried to dissuade him."
"For the sake of Why pay a huge price to help a group of water bandits!"
"Chang'an Jun is determined to send Chang'an plows into various swamps, regardless of the loss."
"Now I know. , Mr. Chang'an is really Mr. Chang'an."
"You righteous men also deserve such help from Mr. Chang'an!"
Hearing Yao Jia's words, Chen Li was stunned: "The Chang'an plow was sent to Penglize by Chang'an Lord?!"
Chen Li knew that the Chang'an plow was developed and made by Ying Chengxuan.
This is the treasure that allows the water bandits in Penglize to survive. How could the water bandits not inquire more about it.
All the bandits in Chu, including Chen Li, silently expressed their love for Ying Chengyu.
But not a single bandit thinks that this Chang'an plow was given to them by Ying Chengyu!
Yao Jia asked back: "Is it hard to believe it?"
"Except for the Lord of Chang'an who developed the Chang'an plow, who can transport a large number of Chang'an plows into the Chu land so quickly and give them to you?"
Chen Li retorted emphatically: "Of course, Lord Chang'an is the son of King Zhuang Xiang, the younger brother of King Qin, a royal family member, the Zongzheng of the Qin State, and a general who fought and won consecutive battles!"
"How could such people give the Chang'an plow to us!"
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
As a member of the royal family, Ying Chengyu should treat the common people like cattle and horses and thieves like running dogs like the nobles of Chu State. How could he say such words to encourage the untouchables? words!
As a general, Ying Chengyu should confront the bandits tit for tat. The gifts given to each other by both sides should only be blades and arrows, how could it be a Chang'an plow!
Unless the mouse is the cat’s bridesmaid, Chen Li will not believe Yao Jia’s words!
Yao Jia took a step forward and said softly: "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"
"These are the words given by Lord Chang'an to all the righteous men."
Chen Li looked at Yao Jia coldly.
This sentence has already spread throughout the green forests of Chu State along with the activities of Zhuang Jia.
Yao Jia knows this sentence, but it doesn’t mean anything. Yao Jia continued: "It is not a shame to be born in a humble family. A husband who can bend and stretch can be a husband!"
"These are the words given to me by Lord Chang'an."
Chen Li's eyes showed obvious astonishment: "It is not a shame to be born in a humble family. How can you be a husband if you can bend and stretch yourself?"
While chewing carefully, Chen Li feels that although this sentence has a different emphasis and pursuit than "Princes, generals, ministers, would rather have their own kind", the core idea is similar.
Chen Li asked in disbelief: "Is this what Lord Chang'an said?"
"How could Lord Chang'an say such a thing!"
Yao Jia said calmly: "I will not and do not bother to deceive you with the reputation of a Great Qin Jiuqing and a Great Qin Young Master."
"Both of these two sentences were spoken by the Lord of Chang'an. "
"Although my king has never said such words, my king's thoughts are the same as those of Chang'an Jun."
"How could I have jumped from a great thief of Liang to a minister of Qin Dynasty." !”
Ying Chengyu’s words moved people’s hearts.
Yao Jia’s experience is even more ironclad proof!
However, even so, Chen Li and other water bandits still couldn't accept it: "But, how is this possible!"
"That is the Chang'an Lord of Qin State, how can he think so highly of us? , even encouraged me to wait and helped me to wait!"
"This is unreasonable! This is not what noble people should be like!"
Chen Li and others were shocked. Why not sigh with emotion.
Yao Jia knew that even Ying Zheng only valued Yao Jia because of his abilities and was willing to give him full respect and understanding.
But Ying Chengyu is different.
As one of the most respected people in the world today, he can understand the suffering of the common people, the helplessness of the bandits, and the unwillingness of the servants. Not only does he not care about their past, he is even willing to help them become upright people. !
What a separation and contradiction!
In the whole world, Yao Jia will never find another noble person like Ying Chenglong!
But now is not the time to sigh.
Seeing that Chen Li's defense had cracked, Yao Jia took advantage of the situation and delivered the final critical blow.
"You may not trust me, but can you still trust Mr. Jia?" As he spoke, Yao Jia held up a bamboo tube with both hands.
Chen Li quickly took the bamboo tube handed over by Yao Jia with both hands, and took out a bamboo slip from his arms.
Facing the sunlight, Chen Li compared the seal on the bamboo tube with the seal on the bamboo slip. After confirming that they were from the same seal, he excitedly broke the seal and took out the bamboo slip in the tube.
[Brother Chen and my friend, I see words like faces. 】
[Because the Chu dignitaries did not allow the Chang'an plow to enter, Jia was entrusted by Qin Chang'an Lord to send the Chang'an plow to Chu so that all the people would be well fed and the righteous men and women of Chu would be spared the trouble of famine. 】
【Qin Changanjun is a sincere and benevolent person! 】
【Today, Lord Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty has something important to ask for help from all the righteous people. It is inconvenient for him to go in person, so he writes a letter to inform him. 】
【Jia. 】
Chen Li's hands holding the bamboo slips were trembling: "It's really so!"
"Mr. Chang'an is really the benefactor we've been waiting for!"
If it weren't for Yao Jia's paving the way, Chen Li would be right now One must doubt the authenticity of this letter.
But with Yao Jia’s early preparation, this letter became the last straw that crushed Chen Li’s hesitation!
Close the bamboo slips, Chen Li slowly exhaled a breath, and held his hands solemnly: "Chen doesn't know that it was Chang'an Jun who specially ordered to give the Chang'an plow to us."
"Chen didn't even know that Yao Shangqing was actually sent by his benefactor!"
"How neglectful, I hope Yao Shangqing will pay attention to it."
The water bandits were in an uproar when they heard this: "It turned out that the plow from Chang'an was given to us and others. He is indeed Lord Chang'an!"
"How could Lord Chang'an help us like this?"
"It must be for the same purpose as other nobles? Take advantage of me and wait!”
"We thought Mr. Jia was a righteous man, but we never thought... Alas, now that Lord Chang'an has shown kindness, we can only repay with our lives, otherwise, it would be unjust!"
Wu Zhe and others' The eyes are very complicated.
Sure enough, there is no free corn in the world.
Every offer of help has a price clearly marked on it.
How can help exist without any need for repayment!
Now, isn't this just about collecting debts?
Chen Li turned around and shouted: "The benefactor's envoy has come, what should we do?"
Although Wu Zhe and other water bandits were in complicated moods, they all raised their weapons and shouted loudly Call:
"Welcome!"
While shouting, the water bandits quickly divided into two sides, forming a road leading from the original place to the wooden house.
Chen Li laughed heartily: "Hurry and prepare for the banquet. A certain person will welcome guests at the banquet!"
Soon Chen Li said with his right hand: "Yao Shangqing, please!"
Yao Jia returned the gift: "Thank you Chen Yishi!"
Following Chen Li into the wooden house, the two took their seats as guest and host, and a group of water bandits lined up to serve as escorts.
Before the food was served, Chen Li had already opened the seal of a wine jar and filled the wine bottles for the two of them himself.
Lifting up the pottery bowl, Chen Li said loudly: "For the previous offense, Chen Li offers a bowl of wine to Yao Shangqing!"
After saying this, Chen Li raised his neck and put the whole bowl of wine into his mouth.
Yao Jia also smiled and said: "Chen Yishi is really generous!"
As he spoke, Yao Jia also raised his head and drank the wine from the bowl.
"Ha~" Ha said bitterly, and Chen Li went straight to the point: "Since my benefactor sent Yao Shangqing here, I think it will be useful to us."
"I would like to ask Yao Shangqing to speak clearly."
"All the good men and women in my family, Peng Lize, who have received the kindness of Lord Chang'an are willing to die for Lord Chang'an!"
