Chapter 198 The King of Thought 3
"sw."
A feather arrow accurately hit the bullseye, but the strength was so great that it penetrated through a hundred steps to stop the momentum.
There was a cheering sound on the side of the field. A burly Qin general proudly put away the bow and arrow in his hand and handed it to Hu Cong on the side.
"Have you seen it? Archery is like this. When you shoot an arrow, you have to be distracted, no matter how the mountain collapses and the ground cracks. At this moment, you only have one arrow in your heart. Aim at the enemy in front of you and release an arrow on the chest and abdomen. Don't shake your hands, don't hesitate in your heart, and shoot decisively, just like this.
The soldier beside him handed him a wet towel with a flattering smile on his face and said with a smile, "The little ones must practice hard in the future and try to get to get you a little bit."
The Qin Junquhou laughed and patted the soldier on the shoulder with his hand and said, "Less oily and smooth tongue, and practice more hand skills. Remember, the only thing you can use to save your life on the battlefield is your own ability. It doesn't matter if you are tired and bitter at ordinary times. What kind of bitterness can't be eaten by a man? You won't know the value of your ability until it's bleeding.
Looking around, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he said in a low voice without anger; "Do you understand?"
A group of Qin soldiers are happy to embrace the boxing; "No."
"Okay, continue to practice. Today, if you can't get five diseases, you can't eat dinner, let's start."
After wiping his hand, Qu Hou handed this place to the deputy and was ready to leave, but was stopped by a pawn who trotted all the way.
"Qu Hou, the rich merchants in the city asked for a meeting, saying that there was something important to report."
Qu Hou frowned and said with an unhappy face; "Bear him over to see me."
A fat middle-aged man trotted all the way with a smile on his face. He came to Qu Hou and bowed hurriedly and said, "Xiao Min Hou Ji, I have seen Lord Qu Hou."
The status of merchants in the State of Qin is very low. Among the four people of Shang Nong Industry and Commerce, the merchant ranks at the bottom and has always been regarded as a worm of society by the legalists. Therefore, this Qin Junquhou will naturally not have any good look at this Hou Ji, but said with a cold face: "What are you looking for me? Tell me quickly."
Hou Ji said with a clever smile on his face; "Well, Xiaomin runs a shop in the city. Today, a horse dealer came to my store with a beautiful jade to change money, and the stewor gave it to me at a high price. Xiao Min saw that this jade pendant was crystal clear and not ordinary, like something flowing out of the palace, so Xiao Min did not dare to hide it privately, and specially sent it to Qu Hou to have a look.
After saying that, he took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and handed it over. The Marquis was a little surprised to hear the words. He took over the jade pendant and nodded and praised it. "Very good, Boss Hou is cautious and law-abiding. He is a good citizen of the State of Qin. I will definitely report it to the county magistrate and let the county magistrate commend you."
The Houji's eyes smiled into a crack. Although he was a little painful to lose Meiyu in his heart, he was still full of heart when he heard Qu Hou's appreciation. He hurriedly said, "Thank you for your appreciation. I, Daqin, is a legal state, and we and other people naturally abide by the law..."
He had to talk nonsense for a long time, but when he saw that Qu Hou waved his hand impatiently, he quickly closed his mouth and dared not say more.
Qu Hou looked up and down the jade pendant, but felt that except that the whole body was a top grade, he couldn't see why. He is not an apnomy of jade. Naturally, he can't tell the quality and source. He thinks that he cares about it so much. If you don't eat the fat in his mouth for nothing, it's better to put it in his bag.
Thinking of this, I wanted to stuff it into my sleeves, but I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a line of small words under the jade pendant. I was curious and looked at it for a while in the sun, and suddenly my face changed greatly. He turned around and grabbed Hou Ji's skirt and almost roared, "Come on, where did this jade pendant come from?"
"This is obviously the jade in the palace of King Chu. Where did you come from?"
Nahou Ji had just been praised with a smile on his face. Under the mutation, he suddenly had no master and hurriedly struggled and stammered; "Qu Hou is angry... Anger, what the State of Chu, I don't know at all. It really has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me..."
Before it was too late to speak, Qu Hou's sword had come out of its sheath and crossed in front of Hou Ji's throat, and he said in a gloomily, "Try to me, if there is any concealment, your head will stay here today."
Hou Ji was so scared that he was so scared that he didn't dare to hide anything under the sharp blade and neck. He told all the ins and outs of the matter. After hearing this, Qu Hou looked a little complicated. After hesitating for a while, he decisively ordered the whole team to gather and quickly went out of the camp to capture the King of Chu.
Almost all the Qin army were soldiers. At that time, the cavalry groups of other countries other than Zhao had not yet taken shape, and his sergeants would naturally be no exception. It's just that the king of Chu is old and weak to escape alone. Even if there is a horse, he can't escape far, so he must not be far away from Xiyang City. Sure enough, as he expected, he soon learned the traces of Xiong Huai from the villagers and chased them along the road pointed out by the villagers.
The Quhou strode to lead the crowd to chase, while his calm face was full of things on his mind.
I'm afraid that none of his men will guess that Quhou, who was chasing Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, was born in the branch of the royal family of the State of Chu, so he recognized Chu Zhuan on the jade pendant. It's just that his ancestors have moved to the State of Qin for nearly a hundred years, and no one knows his identity for a long time.
It was precisely because of this that he hesitated a little just now, and finally decisively chose his future, instead of the illusory blood relatives.
You should know how much credit it is to catch the fleeing King of Chu, which is enough for him to leave this remote county and show his ambition. However, he also kept an eye on his mind and did not tell his men who was arrested. He just vaguely said that he was a wanted criminal by the court, and did not send anyone to inform Shangguan. In this way, even if Xiong Huai escaped, he had nothing to do with him.
It took less than half an hour to catch up along the road pointed by the villagers, and soon caught up with Xiong Huai, who were slowly riding horses on the road. When the two saw that hundreds of Qin soldiers appeared behind them, they knew that they didn't care about the bumpy back of the horse. They just waved the whip and urged the horse to move forward desperately. Seeing this, Quhou was not willing to let it go. He immediately drew his sword and ordered to catch up at full speed, and promised to reward the captured man.
Under the reward, the soldiers and soldiers of Qin naturally cheered up their strength and chased them desperately one by one. At the same time, they used the familiar road conditions to bypass the path. When Xiong Huai saw that the Qin army suddenly appeared in front of them, they wandered around in the field like headless flies in panic. They just waved their whips to the north desperately. They knew that this place was not far from Zhao, thinking that it would be safe to rush to the border of Zhao.
Although Qin soldiers are mostly soldiers, they have always been famous for their endurance. The speed of running in the mountains may not be slower than that of cavalry. In addition, Xiong Huai and the two did not know the road. They just desperately urged the horse to move forward and ran into the muddy place, and the mount could not walk fast. In this way, they were slowly caught up by the pawns of the Qin army chasing in all places.
Xiong Huai whipped his horse desperately and kept looking back at the approaching Qin soldiers. Seeing them excitedly waving their swords and shouting to chase themselves, she became more and more afraid. I'm afraid that these Qin soldiers who have never seen the world will kill themselves in confusion if they don't know that they are the noble king of Chu.
He was thinking about being distracted, but he didn't notice the big pit that suddenly appeared in front of him, and the horseshoe suddenly fell into it. Xiong Huai was very bad at riding, and suddenly rolled down from the horse and screamed on the ground. Zhao Sui in front of him hurriedly stopped the horse and jumped down to help him up. He was about to help him get on the horse together, but a cold arrow flew behind him to hit the mount. The horse turned around with a long hiss and ran away.
Zhao Sui looked back and saw a man dressed as a general of the Qin army hundreds of feet away running and aiming at himself with a bow. This arrow could shoot so far, which was really incredible. Zhao Sui didn't dare to stay in horrment, and hurriedly helped Xiong Huai roll and crawl forward.
The two people who lost their horses are not the opponents of Qin Bing. Soon, these hundreds of Qin soldiers gathered back and forth, surrounded the two people with panic, Xiong Huai and Zhao Sui in the middle, all waving their swords and shouting proudly.
The Marquis came forward with a smile and said proudly when he saw Jianhua's face: "See Your Majesty the King of Chu, please take a good look and go back to Xianyang to worship my king."
At this time, he saw that the king of Chu was in control, so he no longer concealed it and directly broke Xiong Huai's identity as his face. His soldiers were first stunned and then ecstatic. No one expected that the king of Chu, who was wanted by the whole country, did not return to the State of Chu from Hanzhong, but appeared in his station and sent such a great achievement in vain.
Xiong Huai's face turned pale and ignored the pride of the Marquis. He just fell to the ground and muttered, "It's all God's will, God's will. It seems that I will die in this State of Qin after all."
Originally, Quhou still had some respect for his identity as the King of Chu. He wanted to treat him politely. It could be seen that he couldn't help but be a little annoyed and vaguely humiliated by his origin, so he no longer waved his hand politely and ordered, "Come on, take it."
Several Qin soldiers responded to their orders, and their swords returned to the scabbard and came forward to tie them up. Xiong Huai and Zhao Sui just sat on the ground with a look of frustration, and they no longer resisted. They thought they had accepted their fate.
At this time, the change suddenly occurred. There was a whining horn at the end of the distance. The Marquis's face changed, and he couldn't scream in his heart. He hurriedly shouted, "Acade, fight against the enemy."
Before the voice fell, a black cloud appeared on the horizon in the distance. Hundreds of cavalry roared out from the depths of the field, waving the long bow in their hands and whining like a barbarian. Obviously, they had already found their team of Qin soldiers, so they were divided into left and right teams. The bow had been opened in their hands, and the bright arrows pointed directly at the Qin people.
Na Quhou's face was pale, and he had seen from the other party's clothes that the comer was the world-famous Zhao Guojingqi. Although he was usually resourceful, he was at a loss at this time, so he had to keep calm.
A group of Qin soldiers were indeed stunned like wooden chickens. They clenched their swords and did not dare to move, for fear of causing the misunderstanding of Zhao people. The next moment, the sharp arrow penetrated. What's more, no one will be stupid enough to turn his head and run away. What's the difference between him and Zhao Ren, who is very good at riding and shooting in the field?
The opposite is the ecstatic expression on the faces of Xiong Huai Zhao Sui on the ground. At this time, in their eyes, these Zhao cavalrymen, who look strangely dressed like barbarians, are undoubtedly the cutest people in the world.
