Chapter 409 Trade Routes

On the bank of Yunmeng, there are thousands of miles of mist. As the cold wind of winter blows, the Mo Xia who lives by the lake looks even more majestic in the plain white mountains.

"Li'er."

Mo Yuan looked at Li Ji, who was waiting in the room with Moye Sword, and walked up with a smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Ji was puzzled, but she saw Mo Yuan quietly touching her shoulder with his arm.

"Are you still pretending to be like me?"

Mo Yuan chuckled, looking like he was watching a show.

"It has been spread all over the world that the leader of the Mohist family and a female disciple of the Mohist family have a mutual understanding, and they were given to the general Mo Xie by the owner of Lingjian Villa respectively. Don't tell me that you are holding the Moye sword, not that female disciple."

"Is this the case?"

However, Li Ji's face did not show the joy that Mo Yuan imagined.

It was a sunny afternoon, with autumn leaves falling and the stream gurgling. Zhao Shuang took her to a picturesque place, where there was a man and a woman alone, and no one around.

For the past few days, Li Ji's heart was filled with happiness, always feeling that Zhao Shuang would find an opportunity to confess to her. Although he was unclear about the two witches from the Yin and Yang family, Li Ji was confident that once they got married, they would be able to tear them apart and let Zhao Shuang go on the right path.

Zhao Shuang's clear and bright eyes looked at Li Ji, making her heart beat wildly. However, Li Ji did not wait for the confession she imagined, and Zhao Shuang handed her the Ganjiang Sword in his hand.

"You have done very well these days. From now on, if you walk as a disciple of the Mohist family, you will take Moxie; if you walk as the leader of the Mohist family, you will take the Ganjiang Sword. Mo Rusheng's actions did me a favor, But there is also trouble. From now on, your identity will definitely be particularly noticeable."

"Is that all you want to say?"

Li Ji felt a little disappointed in her heart.

"Behind Mo Xia's residence, there is a valley, which is suitable for retreat. Break through the seventh level as soon as possible. Presumably, from now on, Li Ji's identity will definitely cause a lot of trouble. There will definitely be pairs of eyes on the rivers and lakes and among the countries. Stay, you have to be careful."

Crows are flying, and the sky is filled with black feathers.

When a charming-looking man dressed in black appeared next to Zhao Shuang, he whispered in his ear.

Then, Zhao Shuang frowned and said goodbye to Li Ji beside Yunmeng.

Recalling the scene that day, Li Ji felt a little angry.

"It's not a big deal."

Mo Yuan's expression changed, as if he was surprised.

"You are the only person in the Mo family who knows the identity of the leader, except Juzi."

"Do you really think so?"

Li Ji smiled, walked to the window sill, leaned against the high pavilion, and looked at the smoke in the distance.

"What's the meaning?"

"This huge Mo Xia residence is separated by one side. There are nearly ten thousand Mo Xia and tens of thousands of disciples in the land of Qin and Chu. If no one knows the identity of the leader, how can such a huge organization operate?"

Mo Yuan smiled and looked at Li Ji.

"You seem to have changed."

Li Ji turned around, a little confused.

"What?"

"You seem to have become a woman who takes care of the family business for her husband!"

"Okay! Don't you dare make fun of me!"

Li Ji and Mo Yuan started to fight, adding a bit of vitality to the desolate landscape in this winter.

Xianyang.

This summer, the Qin army attacked Zhao and captured nine cities in Ye.

Meritorious officers and soldiers should be given rewards and titles, among which Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe were given the heaviest rewards.

In Xianyang Palace.

King Qin had just finished reviewing the memorial and saw Wang Jian coming, so he stood up immediately. Wang Jian served the King of Qin since he was young. Now he is in charge of an army of 100,000 people, but he is not arrogant at all, but more humble.

Gai Nie followed King Qin, while Wang Jian moved a little closer and followed King Qin on the corridor next to the palace.

"Que fought with him, and you fought well."

"It all depends on the king's blessing and the soldiers' lives."

King Qin glanced at Wang Jian and smiled slightly.

"You're still like this! I thought your temper would change when you became a general in the army."

Wang Jian lowered his head, and based on his military exploits, he was awarded a title and established a firm position in the army.

A number of veteran generals in the Qin army, such as Ling Gong, Wang Jue, Meng Ao and others, have withdrawn from the stage of history. The new generation of generals has not yet emerged.

Wang Jian has taken the lead in setting an example. In the future, Wang Jian will definitely shine brightly, leaving an indelible mark on the Qin army and on this world.

"I dare not take credit. The victory of the nine cities in Ye is not all due to my credit."

"Indeed!" King Qin took a few steps forward, "I asked Lord Hanyang to come to Yan and gave him the power to deal with the situation on an ad hoc basis. But I didn't expect that he would lead tens of thousands of heavy armors and actually attack Handan City."

Gai Nie followed, listening thoughtfully to King Qin's words.

The greatest result of this war was not the victory of Yedi. In fact, the Qin army had long wanted to capture Yedi and break through the defensive zone in southern Handan.

However, if an army of 200,000 was raised to jointly attack Handan, it would not only waste money and resources, but also mobilize such a large number of troops, and the opportunity to attack Zhao would be delayed. Maybe it will end up being postponed to next year.

But now, not only materials are saved, but casualties are also reduced. It can be said that the generals in the Qin army joined forces to fight this war beautifully.

The most dazzling among them is Zhao Shuang, who has been hiding behind the scenes.

"He hasn't changed much!"

King Qin's words had profound meaning, which caused ripples in the hearts of Wang Jian and Gai Nie. The three monarchs and ministers seemed to know something, but they never said it.

"This prairie war horse raised by the military god Li Mu is really extraordinary. If you put it on the horse market, you can easily sell it for more than 100,000 yuan!"

Zhao Shuang had a smile on his face and his eyes were shining with gold, as if he was seeing money instead of war horses.

The war horses in front of me are smaller in stature than the ordinary war horses in Guanlong, but they are thicker and stronger. Their hoofs are as big as casseroles and can crush rocks. They are prairie tiger colts.

Back then, Zhao Shuang also had a lot of prairie tiger colts inherited from Lian Yun Feiqi, but with the wear and tear of the war and age, not many were left. Even if they are finally bred and the next generation is born, they may not be as majestic as the previous generation.

As of now, there are only a dozen or so qualified prairie tiger colts left among that batch of war horses. Zhao State's two thousand war horses injected fresh blood into Zhao Shuang's horse farm.

"Zhao Jun didn't do anything, right?"

"Your Majesty, I personally inspected and checked every one of them. There is no problem."

Yang Duanhe said beside him.

"That's good. Send these two thousand war horses to the horse farms in Beidi, Longxi, and Shangjun, especially the dozen or so new horse farms in Longxi. Pay special attention to them."

The Qin people started out raising horses, and even now, this ancestral skill has not been lost. It is easy to find people who are good at raising horses in the Guanlong area. What's more, among the descendants of Yue Lang under Zhao Shuang, there are also many who are good at raising and identifying horses.

"Your Majesty, are you preparing for the trade route? I heard that on the border of Longxi, there is a ghost named Mokdu who has been making a lot of trouble recently."

"Don't worry, I've already asked someone to solve it."

Zhao Shuang smiled and didn't seem to care.
