The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 43 Departing Nanzheng
"Hehe, are you in such a hurry to die?"

Jing Jia was not moved by it, and continued to keep a smile on his face, "There are still people who care about you, aren't you afraid that they will be sad?"

"If you want to kill, kill, where is there so much nonsense?"

Fan Siyue glared angrily, but no matter how angry her pretty face was, it would not look ferocious.

She had nothing left to cherish, and Sister Su, whom she relied on the most, also abandoned her.

"Last night, there were many people in that village looking for you. One of them found him here and knocked me unconscious. Do you recognize him?"

Jing Jia pointed to a young man leaning against the wall of the cave. The light in the cave was relatively dim, and Fan Siyue was so excited that he didn't notice anyone else.

The young man had blood on his forehead and was unconscious.

Taking a closer look, Fan Siyue said in disbelief: "Brother Chen?"

That person was Chen Lu. He searched with the militiamen all night, and the militiamen went back at dawn, but he was the only one who continued to search.

In the early hours of the morning, I found this cave and searched for it.

He was knocked unconscious by Jing Jia and left here.

"Looking at you, I'm worried about him." Jing Jia looked at him, and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, I remembered, isn't this the idiot who saved you that day? He didn’t die, I have to say that he was really lucky.”

"Let Brother Chen go quickly." Fan Siyue shouted.

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. If I do, neither of you will survive." Jing Jia laughed.

"Then what are you waiting for? Do it." Fan Siyue no longer begged for mercy, knowing that begging was useless.

"Don't worry, I can keep you for a while." Jing Jia put away his smile and straightened his expression.

"why?"

"Because Chu State and Yue State are at war, the winner can be determined in half a year or half a month." Jing Jia turned back to the boulder just now and sat cross-legged.

"What does Chu Yue's war have to do with me?"

Fan Siyue didn't understand, could it be that the winner was decided before deciding whether to kill her or not?
"Loyalty to the monarch, righteousness to friends, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be both." Jing Jia sighed and shook his head slightly.

"If Chu State wins, then I don't need to kill you, because Yue State will no longer exist at that time."

"If it's Yue Guosheng, I will kill you and then commit suicide."

Fan Siyue's mind was in a mess after speaking two sentences.

Why kill her to commit suicide?

"Why? What tricks are you trying to play?" Fan Siyue didn't understand Jing Jia's weird behavior.

"Hey, I might as well tell you these things."

"Your father is the hero of our country of Yue. That night I was ordered by my king to assassinate Fan Li. When Mr. Fan and Mrs. Fan knew that we were sent by the king of Yue, Mr. Fan was very calm, as if he had prepared it, and personally set it on fire. Leaving the thatched hut, he killed himself."

"His last wish before he died was that the King of Yue would let his daughter go, and I agreed to it."

"But the life of a king is hard. If I kill you, it will be against Mr. Fan's trust. I will apologize with death. It's as simple as that."

Everything that Jing Jia has done is incomprehensible, and sometimes he even doubts what he should do to achieve both loyalty and righteousness.

During this period of time, I have been trapped in endless tangles.

After listening, Fan Siyue was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

Are there such strange people in the world?
If what he said is true, it's really hard to hate.

His father's death had nothing to do with him directly. The real murderer was the King of Yue, the King of Yue who lived deep in the palace of Yue and controlled other people's life and death.

Fan Siyue was silent, no one spoke for a long time.

"You are really a weirdo." After a long time, Fan Siyue said.

"Hehe, maybe it is."

Jing Jia gave a wry smile, sighed, closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

After searching for a day and a night, we can no longer search like this, otherwise the order in the village will be disrupted.

Su Lin asked most of the people to rest and return to their original posts, and sent two squads of militiamen to continue searching.

"What is this all about?"

Su Lin was very distressed, because of a misunderstanding, so many things happened.

Mi Yuan, the instigator of this incident, ran away. Su Lin really wanted to go up and kick Mi Yuan hard.

"We can't just stay in the village forever, we should go out, otherwise we won't know the news outside."

Su Lin plans to go to Nanzheng City.

One is to make it easier to hear news about the Chu-Yue War, and the other is to sell the furniture made by the villagers in exchange for some unproducible materials.

For example, salt and tea cannot be produced yet and need to be exchanged.

There are also clothes. Su Lin is wearing leather armor and long leather boots. Without fabric, he can't cut clothes.

"After solving the problem of food and clothing, we have to build tea gardens and tailor shops."

Strive to have everything self-sufficient in the village.

Two days later.

There was still no news of Fan Siyue, and the hope of finding her was almost zero.

Su Lin was a little sad, and really wanted to see Yue Er explain clearly in person, and wondered if there was such a chance.

"No matter what, I hope Yue'er can be safe."

Su Lin stood at the gate of the village center, together with A Bao, one person and one bear looked towards the direction of the village entrance.

Life is still going on, Su Lin decided to set off today, to Nanzheng City.

I asked Chen Fu to buy ten cows before, and now they are in use.

There are still eight of them left, and two of them are sick, so they have no choice but to kill and eat meat, and the rest of the leather is worn on Su Lin's body.

An ox pulled a wooden cart, and eight ox carts were filled with wooden basins, wooden bowls, wooden stools, wooden chopsticks and other wooden daily necessities.
Originally, I wanted to ask Chen Fu to go together, but because Chen Lu was also missing, Chen Fu was not in the mood.

I have been looking for my brother for the past two days, but I have found nothing.

Missing together with Yue'er, Chen Fu's wife has been yelling at Fan Siyue for being a bastard for the past two days, and has brought trouble on her brother-in-law.

It's hard for Su Lin to say anything, after all, Chen Fu and his wife have a very deep relationship with Chen Lu, and they can understand the loss of their loved ones.

At the entrance of the village, eight ox carts were standing by.

This time there were quite a few people, twenty militiamen and ten village names, led by Ma Yun and Wei Qi.

The village was temporarily handed over to Ma Huateng to host, with Li Jinlong assisting.

In fact, there is nothing special to explain, what to do has been arranged long ago, how many wooden houses can be built every day, or continue to build.

The other buildings are temporarily unused.

A group of people set off.

Su Lin was lying on an ox cart, which was filled with furniture, and there was a place set aside for a soft cushion, with a bag of fruit wine in his hand, and he walked leisurely with his legs crossed.

The ox-cart is not very fast, but its endurance is long-lasting.

The mountain road was difficult to walk and bumpy along the way. Fortunately, hay was laid under the mat, which alleviated some of the bumps, otherwise I would not be able to sit still at all.

"The scenery on the road is not bad."

Su Lin hasn't fully appreciated the scenery in the mountains yet, this path is the one that Orion must take when going out of the mountain, and he has already stepped on the road mark.

The trees and rocks on both sides are uniquely interesting.

This is the most primitive scenery. The uncanny workmanship of nature is more beautiful than the traces of man-made.

They set off in the morning and walked for a long time, and didn't see the gate of Nanzheng City until the afternoon.

"Nanzheng City."

Su Lin looked at the three characters on the city wall and didn't recognize them, but he roughly guessed that they were not familiar characters after all.

It is really troublesome for all countries and countries to use their own languages.

Qin Shihuang unified the countries, the books were written in the same language, the cars were on the same track, and the unification of weights and measures was still of great benefit, and communication was more convenient.
