Chapter 440 Silk

"Your Majesty, is that so?"

In the grove, Ayan held a wooden sword and made a sword-wielding posture. A pair of big eyes looked at Zhao Shuang who was lying on the stone eating roast chicken, and his throat surged.

Zhao Shuang waved his hand and said that he was very busy and it was up to you.

The little girl bulged her mouth and felt very unhappy, thinking: That is the chicken that my mother promised to stew for me.

Jing salamander's attitude improved a lot after that conversation, and he no longer refused to let Ayan learn the sword as before. Zhao Shuang often came to teach her swordsmanship in his spare time. She learns quickly and can master it basically after seeing it once.

"No, no, it should be like this!"

Xuanjian's son Wei Ci was guiding him, but he didn't notice the little girl's sad eyes at all. He had a naive expression on his face and a serious look on his face. In terms of talent, Wei Ci's qualifications are also top-notch.

Ayan glanced at Wei Ci, as if to say, who asked you to interrupt.

The little girl's eyes were very sharp, which made Wei Ci doubt his life. Did I learn it wrong?

Ayan was a little discouraged. Seeing Zhao Shuang finish the whole roast chicken and scatter the chicken bones on the floor, she felt empty.

“Let’s learn this today!”

Zhao Shuang waved, and Wei Ci trotted over.

"Is your father back?"

"Just came back yesterday."

"Call him here when you go back."

"But my mother said that she wants you to see my father less. Every time you see my father, my family is uneasy."

Zhao Shuang rolled his eyes and kicked Wei Ci in the butt.

"Stop talking nonsense and go!"

Wei Ci covered his buttocks, said oh, and took Ayan back.

Beside the house, Jing salamander and Wei Xianxian had been waiting for a long time, just like picking up children who came home late from school. They each held their own children and returned home with a smile.

"Auntie, what shall we eat tonight?"

"Your Aunt Liwu is making chicken stew for you."

"Really?"

The little girl was very happy and trotted into the kitchen. She smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the pot and her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

Li Wu touched her hand with a look of endearment in her eyes.

"It will take a while until the chicken stews a little bit."

Ayan raised his head and asked.

"Didn't Grandma say that the rest of the chickens should be kept for laying eggs?"

"It's your Majesty. He has sent another brood of chickens. After a while, the pig pen will be repaired, and we and your Uncle Xuan's family will raise a few big black pigs."

When the little girl heard this, the anger she was holding in her heart suddenly relaxed, and she thought secretly: It seems that that unreasonable guy is not useless after all.

The forest was quiet, without the noise of two children practicing their swords during the day. Xuanjian came. At this time, he was wearing ordinary clothes, which was better than ordinary people in the countryside.

The only difference is that his eyes are still sharp, without the kindness they had when facing Xiang Yong during the day.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your swordsmanship has changed a lot."

Zhao Shuang glanced at Xuanjian and smiled slightly.

"Indeed, but still sharp."

"Since you and Jing Salamander appeared in Han, the pursuit of the net has become a little tighter. You have to be careful and pay attention to outsiders."

"My subordinate understands."

A confident smile appeared on Xuanjian's peaceful face. If not, no one would think that this man dressed like an old country farmer could be a top-notch assassin who once dominated the world.

"There are many outstanding talents among your Majesty's subordinates, and my subordinates have been secretly observing and training them."

Zhao Shuang nodded.

"Changping Jun has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army to attack Zhao. Fan Yuqi's 100,000 Dongjun army will be the main force in the battle to attack Zhao next year."

"Mr. Changping?"

Xuanjian opened his mouth, noncommittal.

"Nowadays, the military situation is getting tighter. These ten thousand Yulin army will not stay here forever. If the army moves out, the remaining forces in the fief will be weakened a lot. Luo Sheng or other forces will not let this go. Opportunity. Therefore, I still need you to protect me secretly."

With that said, Zhao Shuang took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Xuan Jian.

"With this sign, all the personnel in the Nanzheng Underworld can be mobilized to listen to your orders. If necessary, the reverse sand in the underworld can also be mobilized."

Xuanjian held the sign and bowed his hand.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will definitely live up to their trust."

Shushan.

Under the Fuso tree.

A group of people from Shushan have been making a lot of noise. The young Yu Ziqi glanced at his mother, confused, what were those uncles and uncles arguing about?

The great elder of Shushan stood under the tree, glanced at Yu Qing, and asked.

"What do you think!"

Shushan is the strongest force in Shu, and it is also quite closed. In the past, this was nothing? Because even if the Qin army takes Bashu, it only cares about the plains rich in food. The Qin army was not interested in the barbarians in the mountains.

As long as they don't make trouble, Qin won't bother to pay attention. Because maintaining order in these remote areas will only increase the cost of governance, and the gain outweighs the loss.

The barbarians among the mountain neighbors of Bashu regard Shushan as their clan. A large area is managed by Shushan.

However, the order that had been established among the mountains outside Qin's rule for a long time changed due to the arrival of Zhao Shuang. Especially after the Zhurong tribe surrendered and the Xuanji tribe was destroyed, this situation became more obvious.

"I thought Hanyang Lord Zhao Shuang understood us and was willing to cooperate with us, which is not a bad thing."

Yu Ziqi blinked and was suddenly startled. Because after Yu Qing finished speaking, all the uncles and uncles who had just shouted were angry at him.

"Yu Qing, have you become stupid by reading Qin people's classics?"

"The Zhurong tribe surrendered and the Xuanji tribe was destroyed. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of nearby mountain barbarians have accepted the rule of the Qin people. If this situation continues, our Shushan will be in danger."

"The Ming Pond is surrounded by fog all year round, and I don't know what's going on inside now. There are many things that can be said. Some people say that Zhao Shuang's men are developing an extremely powerful poison inside, just to deal with Shushan."

"The Qin people's influence has touched our territory, and they have recently been buying silk in large quantities nearby. The nearby mountain barbarians have begun to raise silkworms instead of farming or hunting. If things continue like this, how can we maintain Shushan?"

Everyone was talking in a hurry, and Yu Qing's voice was quickly drowned out.

"Then do you want to go to war with the Qin people?"

Qingluan shouted and asked, and everyone was speechless. Her eyes were still sharp, staring at a man in the crowd.

"What did you say just now, that my man is stupid?"

"I...that's not what I meant."

Under Qingluan's sharp gaze, the man suddenly lost his courage.

Yu Qing was honest and everyone didn't take him seriously. But Qingluan was different. She started to rush, and everyone was afraid.

"Since you don't want to start a war, just listen to my man and cooperate with the Qin people."

Qingluan ended the dispute with the final word.
