Chapter 331 Victory or Loss

Zhu Rongbu.

Li Mang sat on his throne, his face gloomy.

For the Zhu Rong Department, the failure just now was not a loss of personnel, but a loss of morale.

The morale loss for Shanyi tribes like the Zhurong tribe is quite terrible. Because Li Mang relied on prestige and force to establish the order here.

The wavering of morale will directly affect the foundation of order.

The most direct thing is the look of fear that can be seen in the eyes of Zhu Rong's vassals.

"Limang."

The arrival of Yu Qing made Li Mang feel even more depressed and covered his head.

"Are you here to laugh at me?"

Yu Qing's face was serious. Along the way, he saw the wounded appearance of the Yi people. Even though Zhurong and Shushan usually did not deal with each other, he was not happy at all.

"Limang, you are too careless."

There was a crash, and a huge fist hit the armrest, breaking it into two ends. The anger in his heart erupted, but in the end the anger that filled his heart just turned into a muffled groan.

Losing face and gaining nothing, Li Mang will not vent his anger on Yu Qing after all. It's not because Li Mang has a good impression of Yu Qing, but because Li Mang has always regarded Shushan as the target of transcendence and doesn't want to lose his grace in front of his opponent.

"Now that I see it, I'd better guard the mountain gate. I don't think the Qin army will attack after this."

Yu Qing had already received the news before Zhao Shuang's men came here, sneaked into the territory of the Qin people, and conducted a long-term investigation of this new territory of the Qin people.

The Qin ruler's plan for the territory was enough to support hundreds of thousands of people. This is a long process. For at least ten years, I am afraid that the Qin army will not take action against them, so there is no need to compete with them for the time being.

"Yingshan Stream has been lost, and the Qin people will probably not attack just yet. The most important thing now is to rebuild morale."

Yu Qing advised, but Li Mang clenched his hands and his knuckles cracked.

Li Mang stood up, and his fiery red hair suddenly exploded. The location of Yingshan Stream is very important to the Zhurong tribe. Once the Qin army's camp is erected there, it will have an advantage over the military posture of the Zhurong tribe's territory.

What's more important is that this breath of energy is too much to swallow.

"I'm not going to let this go."

"Limang..."

Yu Qing wanted to persuade, but other voices rang in his ears. And this voice was very familiar to Yu Qing.

"I knew you were here."

Yu Qing turned his head and looked at the woman coming from the side.

"Luan'er, why are you here?"

A smile appeared on Qingluan's face and he looked at Limang. Although there was a huge difference in their stature, Qingluan looked at Limang with a downward gaze.

As for Li Mang, he seemed a little afraid of this woman.

"I came here because of the great elder's divination. I wanted to see what kind of person the Qin man's lord was, so I went to check it out."

"It's interesting that the number one master in Shushan is interested in a Qin lord." Limang's face lost the anger and calmed down, "What do you think?"

"I was not disappointed." Qingluan smiled, "It seems ordinary, but in fact it is unfathomable. Therefore, I have made an appointment with him to compete."

"What?"

Yu Qing's complexion changed drastically, and he was worried about Li Mang's presence, so he pulled Qing Luan outside.

Li Mang looked at the couple and didn't care about Yu Qing's rudeness. Instead, he was a little interested in watching the excitement.

"Qingluan, how can you act on your own and fight with that Qin man?"

Yu Qing's slightly reproachful voice did not move Qingluan. On the contrary, Qingluan still treated her husband with a bit of arrogance.

"I am an elder in Shushan, don't I have this right?"

"Qingluan, you know the importance of this matter. As the guards of Yu Yuan, our most important mission is to protect Shushan, not to fight with the Qin people. Do you know how powerful the Qin people are?"

"Of course I know!"

Yu Qing originally thought that his wife made such a reckless move because of her competitive nature, but he did not expect that she was actually true to her words.

"It is because he is so powerful that we must get rid of this threat as soon as possible. When hundreds of thousands of his tribe take root here, with millions of Qin troops behind them, how can we fight against him?"

"Luan'er, I thought that after giving birth to Ziqi, your temper would be tempered, but I didn't expect that you are even more tempered now than before."

Yu Qing felt helpless when facing his wife. Although his status was respected in Shushan, he was more than a step lower than Qingluan.

Before they got married, Qingluan's cultivation was already matched by few in Shushan, which also developed her arrogant character. But now, her cultivation is getting better and better, and she is called "the best master in Shushan" by the surrounding barbarians.

Although Yu Qing lives in the land of Bashu, it does not mean that his vision is narrow. On the contrary, he knows that although this title is not worthy of the name, Qingluan's cultivation is outstanding in the entire world.

"Then Mr. Qin has no intention of attacking. Why should we provoke him and cause trouble? Even if we want to deal with him, we should take a long-term approach."

Qingluan smiled, with a bit of contempt and disdain in his smile.

"When the Qin army entered Shu in the past, there were many voices like this. But what happened later?"

The woman is unparalleled in elegance, but she has pride and spirit that is not inferior to that of the man.

"After the Kingdom of Shu was destroyed, there were still many people who advised us to 'take a long-term view' and accept the arrangement of the Shu princes by Qin. Later, Gan Mao led the Qin army to destroy Chenzhuang, Sima Cuo killed Gongzi Hui, and there were no more princes of Shu. .We have become a people without a country and a home.”

When Qingluan said this, there was a sense of unwillingness and anger on his face, as if he was back then, wishing he could take up arms and fight the Qin people to the death.

"Now, we only have Shushan left, and you still want to persuade me to 'plan for the long term'. May I ask, what else can we do?"

"Luan'er!"

Although Yu Qing knew that Qingluan was usually competitive, he never thought that she still had this spirit in her heart.

"How are you going to compete with it?"

"On the top of Shu Mountain, under the fusang tree. If he dares to come, I will defeat him in front of everyone, and defeat the Qin people's prestige, so that they will not dare to invade my land again!"

"But what if you lose?"

Qingluan looked at her husband. Although she already had a child with him, Qingluan still didn't feel as close to her husband as an ordinary couple.

She married him in the first place because she was suitable, and because she liked his character and didn't care about anything.

"I won't lose!"

Qingluan held hands with determination.

Yu Qing saw this and didn't know how to persuade his wife for a moment. He could only pray in his heart that Qingluan could win!
