The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 52
The center of the village is divided into inner and outer halls.

The inner hall is where Su Lin lives, and there is a door on the left side of the outer hall to block the inner boudoir.

The outer hall is the place where you usually receive guests or discuss things.

Zheng Qian knelt and sat in front of a wooden table on one side, chatting and laughing with Ma Yun.

At the same time, I also observed the hall. There was a bench in the middle of the main seat, and it was covered with a piece of tiger skin. This kind of atmosphere made it feel like entering a bandit's den.

"Unfortunately, my master has gone out, and we may have to wait a little longer." Ma Yun knelt and sat opposite Zheng Gan, smiling apologetically.

"I have nothing to do. It doesn't hurt to wait. I really want to see your master's style."

Zheng Gan chuckled, knowing this village through his own intelligence network was not easy.

That's why I came to the door in person, wanting to get acquainted with Ma Yun's master.

While speaking, Su Lin stepped into the hall in a black outfit.

"Owner."

Ma Yun got up and bowed his hands to salute. Some outsiders called him master. The title of master is very common in this era. If it is the master, it would be a bit restless.

Seeing this person, Zheng Qian was also slightly surprised. Such a young and good-looking woman turned out to be the ruler of this village.

"The old man is polite."

Although there is a difference in age, Zheng Gan still treats each other equally.

"Su Lin met Zheng Gong."

Su Lin didn't dare to make too much of a fuss, so he bowed his hand and returned the salute.

This is the first time they met, and they didn't show up in Nanzheng Sulin last time, so they haven't seen each other.

"Duke Zheng is here, what's the matter?"

Su Lin knelt and sat opposite, skipping the opening remarks and directly getting straight to the point.

Ma Yunzhidao stood with a bow.

"The old man came here for two things. One is to buy some wooden goods from the village last time, and the other is to tell the girl one thing and at the same time ask about one thing." Zheng Gan said with a smile.

"What is Mr. Zheng going to say?"

Su Lin directly skipped the business and left it to Jack Ma to handle it.

At the same time, I was curious about what Zheng Ganda wanted to say when he came all the way.

"The old man's convoy found out that five hundred Qin soldiers disguised as ordinary caravans were going to infiltrate into Chu State. It is understood that their goal is Guicun." Lin, what do you want to see.

Five hundred Qin troops?
Su Lin took a deep breath and clenched his fists slightly.

This was not the time when he was ambushing in Falling Wind Valley that day, because it was Su Lin who ambushed his opponent in a dangerous place, so he was able to achieve a big victory.

But if the two armies fought on the plains, Su Lin's 1000 men could not defeat the Qin army's 500 men.

Because the other party is a professional soldier, and here are all farmers farming or hunting militiamen, there is no comparison at all.

"When will it arrive?"

"Fast is six days, slow is nine days."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zheng, for telling me. Thank you, junior." Su Lin cupped his hands and bowed deeply, this time as a junior.

This news is too important, no matter what, at least there is time to prepare.

"Hehe, this old man also admires Ms. Su. She dared to rescue Shang Jun's clansman under Qin's iron cavalry. Miss Su dared to do something that no other country dared to do. She is really brave."

After Zheng Qian got the news that Qin Jun had sneaked into Chu State in disguise, he also thought about it, thinking about whether to tell Dahan Village.

If Qin Guo knew about this, his caravan would also be in trouble. Then something happened that made him change his mind.

Su Lin's heart tightened, Zheng Gan knows a lot?
After thinking about it, he was relieved, since he knew that the Qin State sent troops to sneak in in disguise, it was not difficult to know about taking in Shang Yang's clan.

"The old man came here today, and I also want to ask the girl to tell you something." While speaking, Zheng Gan's face darkened, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Even if the seniors say it, the junior should know everything."

Su Lin wondered, why is this old man crazy? Just now he looked like a spring breeze, but now he looks like he owes him money.

"I want to ask, how did Fan Li die." Zheng Gan said in a low voice, staring at Su Lin.

Did he forget that this is Dahan Village, not Nanzheng City, who is showing your murderous look?

"Senior met Fan Bo?"

Su Lin felt that what happened today made her brain almost overwhelmed.

"Don't you know the relationship between me and Fan Li?" Zheng Qian sighed.

"I haven't heard of it."

Su Lin shook his head blankly, really didn't know.

"Fan Li and I once formed an alliance in Jinlan and worked together for the restoration of the country, but we parted ways because of one incident. We have not seen each other for many years. The last time we went was when my sister-in-law gave birth to Yueer. Since then, I have never seen each other. connect."

Recalling the past, Zheng Gan remembered that he had fought side by side with Fan Li and worked for his mother country, which was the proudest thing in his life.

The main reason for his parting ways with Fan Li was Xi Shi.

Since ancient times, there have been many troubles for beautiful women, and this kind of thing happened to the two brothers.

Xi Shi was sent to the palace of the King of Wu as a spy of the Yue Kingdom. Although Fan Li had found Xi Shi, it was Zheng Qian who directly took care of it.

Zheng Gan also has a secret affection for Xi Shi, the first of the four beauties in China, Xi Shi, this kind of charm is not something ordinary men can resist.

Otherwise, King Fuchai of Wu would have destroyed the country for Xishi.

After the state of Wu was destroyed, Zheng Qian took Xi Shi out from the palace of the king of Wu, and told his feelings in the carriage.

I hope to take Xi Shi far away.

But Xi Shi already had her heart set on her own, so she rejected Zheng Qian and chose to be with Fan Li.

Zheng Qian felt sad and hated, and cut off contact with Fan Li until today.

The so-called frustrated love, proud business.

Zheng Gan also made the same choice as Fan Li, he did not accept the title of King Goujian of Yue, and started a business with the surplus money in his hands, and it turned out to be a success.

If you want to evaluate a list of the richest people in various countries, Zheng Qian dare not say that he is the first, but he can also enter the top three.

It can be called a wealthy country, and the Zheng character in Nanzheng City refers to him. You must know that it was not called Nanzheng City before, and it was changed because of him.

"Senior, senior."

Seeing that his eyes were slightly closed with tears in the corners of his eyes, Su Lin couldn't help reminding him.

"Hey, the old man lost his temper."

Zheng Gan shook his head slightly, covered his face with his long sleeves, and then wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

He straightened his posture and looked at Su Lin.

"Yesterday, I wanted to visit Brother Fan, but I didn't expect that there were only ruins of the grass house by the lake. I saw the grave of my sworn brother not far away. Your village is not far from Nansha Lake. I would like to ask Miss Su if she knows How did Brother Daoyi die?"

Zheng Qian looked at Su Lin expectantly.

"The murderer who killed Fan Bo was Yue Wang Wuqiang." Su Lin sighed and told the truth.

"What? How is that possible?"

Zheng Qian stood up and was furious, almost slamming the table, thinking that Su Lin was talking nonsense.

Their brothers and Xi Shi have spent half their lives traveling to cross the country, and they stayed away from the court because they were afraid of being killed by rabbits.

Fan Li lives in seclusion in Nansha Lake and poses no threat to the Yue Kingdom at all, so how could he kill him?
Even if you don't think about the credit, you won't kill people.

but.

Reminiscent of the war between Chu and Yue, and the fact that the two generations of kings of Yue were mean and ungrateful people, is it really the king of Yue?
Su Lin sat there on his knees, quietly watching Zheng Gan who lost his composure, without speaking.

"Is what you said true?"

What a shrewd person Zheng Qian is, when he thinks about what happened during this period, he already believes it seventy percent in his heart.

Just wanted to reconfirm.

"Yes." Su Lin nodded.

"Shameless, fatuous, senseless."

Zheng Qian slammed the table and shouted angrily, thinking about cursing again, maybe he couldn't find more vicious words.

"Can you tell me the ins and outs of this matter?"

After venting for a while, Zheng Qian wanted to know the details of the matter.
