Chapter 40: Know the current affairs

Lian Ke's words are like poppies, even if they are spoken in such a casual tone, they are extremely tickling.
Qin Jue couldn't help thinking that if it were him a month ago, he thought, he would agree.
Seeing that Qin Jue did not answer, Lian Ke continued.
"You are the prince of Qin, the orthodox heir to the throne. Are you willing to be abolished in this way? If you are not willing, we can help you, help you return to the capital, and help you restore your position.
Even lend you soldiers directly to help you fight back! "
Qin Jue's eyes flashed when he heard the words, "So, Qin country has been infiltrated by the forces of Ze country?" After all, it is to send him back to Beijing and help him restore his identity. This is not something ordinary people can do.
Lian Ke smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it, just say whether you want to cooperate! If you agree, our majesty will canonize you as King Qin and treat you with the highest honor."
Qin Jue asked, "What if I don't agree?"
Lian Ke was taken aback for a moment, then he sank his face and said, "Then there is no way. Useless people in our country, only feed the fish!"
After speaking, his men opened the windows and doors so that Qin Jue could see outside.
At this time they were already on the lake, and when the doors and windows opened, the cold wind came with a strange smell.
In addition to their ship, there are 20 or 30 medium-sized cargo ships around. Because the lake is narrow, they have to line up separately. Looking at it this way, it is really a vast area.
After scanning the quantity, Qin Jue asked unintentionally, "These people on the boat are all Zeguo people who are lurking in the Qin country as businessmen?"
Lian Ke smiled, "How is it possible? It is not so easy to cross the border, but they are all my people, the famous water bandits on the Bend River! The entire Xiangcheng waters are my chassis! As for these boats , Naturally we grabbed it from the caravan!"
Qin Jue immediately understood what he said.
Xiangcheng is located on the border of Qin State, and the boundary line between Qin State and Ze State is the Wanjiang.
Because the Bend River is a handover between the two countries, it is not easy to manage. The city near the Bend River is mostly a place of exile for the wicked. Over time, there will be a group of water bandits, large and small water gangs. There are three to five thousand people.
They sometimes harassed the country of Ze and sometimes robbed the country of Qin. The emperors of the two countries had sent troops to encircle and suppress the country, but because the Wanjiang was too large, even the shadow of the water bandits could not be caught. Over time, they just let it go. The bandits are neither nationals of Ze nor Qin. They are in a gray area and it is no wonder that they will be used.
Qin Jue asked curiously, "So you are now taking your people to escape to Benjiang?"
"of course."
Xu felt that Qin Jue did not threaten, and Lian Ke did not hide from him, so he said directly.
"Just to invite your Highness to be a guest, there was a lot of noise. At this time, it is estimated that they are looking for us everywhere.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you pass the Red Sand Valley, you can go straight into the Bend River. When that time comes, I will not be able to catch me! "
Red Sand Valley.
Qin Jue shook his head and chuckled.
When Xie Linlang called out that the other party was from the country of Ze, he guessed where these people were hiding.
After all, the whole Xiangcheng is under his supervision, and it is impossible to get involved with spies, so the only possibility is that they have been hiding outside the city, hiding in a place that is convenient for inquiring about the news and can be evacuated at any time.
He could only think of one place like this, and that was the cargo ship they saw on the way when they came.
Since the other party came by boat, he would definitely go by boat, and the best place to avoid chasing and impunity was not what he wanted except Wanjiang.
But to go to Wanjiang, he had to pass through the Red Sand Valley, so he would not resist and let these people arrest him.
Anyway, the opponent doesn't seem to intend to kill him, and he also needs to know the details of the opponent.
Seeing Qin Jue's silence, Lian Ke smiled contemptuously, "Okay, don't try it anymore, it's useless, no one will come to rescue you, and you will definitely not escape! After all, if I was robbed, you would be on a merchant ship. Going away, the group might still be searching from house to house in the city right now!
When they come up with a clue, we will be far away! So you don’t have to be lucky, just say the answer!
Is it cooperation or death? "
Under the cold stare of the other party, Qin Jue gave a pale smile and sighed softly.
"Do I still have to choose? Right now I am a prisoner. What the Emperor of Ze State wants me to do, it's better to just say it."
Seeing his acquaintance, Lian Ke sneered a few times.
"You are refreshing, well, I won't go around with you. The reason why our majesty wants to help you is that you have fancy your orthodox direct lineage!
We can help you get Daqin’s country. As a reward, you need to pay tribute to Zeguo to the south of Qilian and east of Boyang. This is a good deal, right? "
Qin Jue couldn't help laughing. To the south of Qilian and to the east of Boyang, this is equivalent to enclosing all the dangerous places in the southeast of Qin. How is it different from directly annexing?
However, he replied, "It turns out that, thanks to His Majesty Zeguo, I, Qin Jue, has nothing. There is nothing terrifying if you want to come. As long as your Majesty can keep his promise to help me take revenge, let alone cede the land, it is to bow to Zeguo. of."
His words really pleased Lian Ke, it seems that Qin Jue is more aware of current affairs than imagined!
"Very good!" He laughed, "You have this heart, and if you want to come, your majesty will value you more! Come here, bring wine! Today, Lian Ke, I want to drink 300 cups with the future King Qin!"
"Yes."
His subordinates hurriedly fetched wine, and the cabin they were in was very luxurious right now, with all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there was no shortage of wine and food.
Qin Jue did not appear to be anxious at all. The avatar looked so similar to him, even if he saw it, he found it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. Presumably Xie Linlang would not find out so quickly, maybe...she didn't. Will find out.
So he has plenty of time to deal with the person in front of him, and plenty of time to deal with him.
Originally, he had no attachments to Qin State. Even if he knew that Lian Ke was from the Ze State, he would not have so much hostility, but Xie Linlang's words that night woke him up.
It’s not that if you don’t offend others, people won’t offend you. How can you allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch?
So Lian Ke and others must die!
Because Xiangcheng belongs to him.
No matter how many eyeliners Ze Guo wants to put in Qin Guo, he doesn't care, only Xiangcheng, no one wants to get involved!
The wine soon came up. During this period, Lian Ke repeatedly tried to persuade him to drink, and always instilled Qin Jue the benefits of cooperating with them, and praised what a wise decision he had made!
Of course, in his opinion, Qin Jue also has no reason to refuse. After all, he is an abandoned prince, and someone wants to help him. That is a good thing from heaven!
Even if he will become Ze Guo's puppet from now on, what about? Isn't it better than being demoted and waiting to die in Xiangcheng?
