Chapter 71: The Most Attention

The capital of Nanyue, Panyu, Prime Minister Lu Jia's mansion.

Lu Jiaju sat on a short table, not asking the singers to sing and dance to entertain themselves, but instead closed their eyes, frowns together, and fell into deep thought.

A burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and Lu Jia opened his eyes and saw his eldest son Lu Yi coming quickly. Lu Jia leaned forward and asked hurriedly: "Yi'er, is there any news?"

"Father, the battle between Han and Huns is still the same. The Huns attacked the city and the Han army defended the city, but they were still dragged down." Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that Zhou Yang is good at using troops, but that's it. The Huns are lions on the grassland. Once they get angry, they are so powerful. Zhou Yang has been scared to death for a long time. He hurried in the city and dared not come out."

"Five hundred thousand Huns!" Lu Jia gasped: "Is it so easy to deal with? Only Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty has defeated so many Huns, and even King Wuling of Zhao did not do it. It seems that the Han Dynasty will definitely lose in this battle, and this is our opportunity."

"Yes, my father!" Lu Yi's tone was a little high: "Zhao Tuo was so confused that he actually sent the prince to Changsha to accompany Zhou Yafu to have tea. When Zhao Hu went there, no one in Panyu could stop us. It was the time for us to do something."

"The prince is gone, Zhao Tuo is old and confused, and the Han Dynasty is defeated again, and our great things will be accomplished!" Lu Jia stood up excitedly.

"Oh, my father, I just got the news that Zhao Tuo went to the Loyal Soul Hall." Lu Yi looked strange and his brows frowned: "What is there in the Loyal Soul Hall? Send troops to guard it, but no one is allowed to get close."

"Loyal Soul Hall?" A trace of confusion flashed through Lu Jia's eyes: "Only Zhao Tuo knows what is in the Loyal Soul Hall, and even the prince doesn't know. I have heard a little news that Qin Shihuang's army of 500,000 southbound and brought countless treasures, which were probably hidden in the Loyal Soul Hall."

His eyes shone and he licked his lips greedily: "After we succeed, we have the treasures in the Loyal Soul Hall, so we don't have to rely on trade with the Han Dynasty, and we are not afraid that the Han Dynasty will pinch our necks."

At that time, Nanyue was an uncivilized place, with an extremely underdeveloped economy and a hard life. The essential food for life was mainly obtained through trade with the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty did not trade with the South Vietnam, Nanyue would not be able to hold on.

"Father, why don't we go and see now?" Lu Yi's eyes were filled with greed light and he kept rubbing his hands.

"Well! Come, go to the Loyal Soul Hall." Lu Jia ordered, and the servants were ready and led a team of personal guards to the Loyal Soul Hall in a mighty manner.

The Loyal Soul Hall is located in the northwest corner of Panyu City and is a huge palace-style building.

At that time, Nanyue was in an undeveloped state and its economy was very backward. Panyu City had few people and few streets and small houses. Even the Nanyue Palace was not big. The only thing about this Loyal Soul Hall was a giant and the largest building in Panyu City.

What is even more strange is that the Loyal Soul Hall is a Qin-style building. The Nanyue Royal Palace has both Qin-style and Yue-style styles, and is completely built in the Qin-style architectural style. There is only this Loyal Soul Hall in the entire Panyu City.

There is another difference between the Loyal Soul Hall, that is, the gate opens to the north. The gate opens to the north. There are very few in the entire Nanyue Kingdom, and even the gate of the royal palace does not open to the north.

Lu Jia and his son hurried to the Loyal Soul Hall, and saw the tall and majestic Loyal Soul Hall like a monster entrenched in the local area.

The Loyal Soul Hall is very vigilant, with three steps and one post and five steps. There are many soldiers patrolling back and forth.

These soldiers all had black helmets, wore wide waists and long swords, and were tall and powerful when walking. They could tell that they were well-trained elites at a glance.

"Qin Wei in black?"

Lu Jia was a little surprised.

The reason why these soldiers were called "Qin Wei in Black" was because they were dressed in black. They were also descendants of Qin Shihuang's 500,000-strong army of southern expeditions, so they were called "Qin Wei in Black".

After strict selection, they trained in the Qin army, and had a strong combat power. They were the most elite army in the Nanyue Kingdom. Moreover, they were loyal to Zhao Tuo. If Zhao Tuo wanted them to die, they would die without hesitation.

"stop!"

The black-clothed Qin Wei, who was in charge, shouted loudly, pressed his hand on the hilt of his waist, and walked over quickly to stop Lu Jia.

"Don't have eyes? This is the Prime Minister, hurry up and get out of here!"

Lu Jia's personal guard captain rolled his eyes and yelled at the man.

"The king has an order that no one is allowed to approach the Loyal Soul Hall, and I also ask the Prime Minister not to make things difficult for Qin Yi." Qin Yi held his fists and greeted him, and the captain Yu's scolding was ignored.

"I want to see the king." Lu Jia really wanted to see the treasures in the Loyal Soul Hall. This excuse was good: "Report to something important."

"The Prime Minister knows that no one can disturb the king entering the Loyal Soul Hall." Qin Yi had no intention of being at all.

"I am the prime minister. If I want to see the king, I will meet the king." Lu Jia was angry, raised her chest, raised her head, her eyes widened, and she glared at Qin Yi fiercely.

Qin Yi did not react at all, and still stopped him and refused to let him go: "If the Prime Minister takes another step forward, don't blame Qin Yi for not recognizing the Prime Minister." The hand pressed on the hilt of the sword tightly held the hilt, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"What? Do you still dare to commit a crime?"

The captain of the guard pulled the corner of his mouth, believing that he was Lu Jia's confidant, took a step forward and pointed at Qin Yi's nose: "I have a talent, do you want to try it?"

"choke!"

The crisp sound of Qin sword unsheathed, and the Qin sword in Qin Yi's hand flashed, and it was a magical exercise and slashed at the captain of the guard.

"ah!"

The captain of the guard screamed and found that he had become two pieces, one piece below his waist and one piece above his waist. The two halves separated and fell to the ground, and the blood sprayed far away like water in the fountain.

He pointed at Qin Yi and opened his mouth for a long time, but there was no sound at all. He closed his eyes unwillingly.

“Bold!”

Lu Jia is a powerful minister in Nanyue. Over the years, Zhao Tuo has grown old and his power has fallen into his hands. Qin Yi actually killed his personal guard captain in front of him. This is a great insult. He was so angry that he waved his right hand and shouted: "Take it down for me!"

His personal guards got the order and surrounded him.

Qin Yi still ignored her. With a wave of her right hand, the black-clad Qin Wei rushed over. They were in their respective positions. However, when they arrived, they had formed a formation, with uniform steps, and murderous intent emerged in their eyes. They held the Qin sword in their hands and were wearing Qin armor, and moved forward, as if the army of the Southern Expedition of Emperor Shihuang had been resurrected again.

Let’s look at Lu Jia’s personal guards. They have no formation and are not as powerful as the aura. Compared with the black-clad Qin Guard, they are far worse than the world.

Qin Yi waved the Qin sword in his hand and killed a personal guard. The black-clad Qin Wei waved the Qin sword and slashed and killed them. With just one breath, the personal guards were killed and there were corpses on the ground.

Lu Jia had the intention of being unjust and wanted to take Zhao's family and stand on his own, but was frightened by Zhao Tuo's power and did not dare to move around. He thought that as long as Zhao Tuo was more confused, he could do it. However, he did not expect that after such a big fight today, his face changed color and he couldn't help but retreat, and his viciousness had disappeared at this moment.

Qin Yi's bloody sword in Qin Yi's hand dripping on the ground, and a bright red blood line appeared on the ground: "Prime Minister, if you cross this line, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Looking at the bright red bloodline, Lu Jia seemed to see a devil, her face turned pale and she staggered back. She first retreated, then turned around and ran, running faster and faster, like a frightened rabbit, she flew away from the Loyal Soul Hall as if she was flying.

As the prime minister, Lu Jia killed people like a slap, but he had never seen such a fierce army.

Such a fierce army can only be compared with the southern army decades ago. However, Zhao Tuo is now the only one left in the southern army of tens of thousands.

The black-clad Qin Wei, they are descendants of the Southern Expedition Army of the First Emperor, and the blood of the army flows in their blood vessels. They use Qin swords, wear Qin armor, and receive training from the Qin army. How much difference is there except that the commander is not the First Emperor?

"The old Qin will regain my world! I will never stop fighting if my blood does not flow dry!"

The majestic and heroic singing came from the Loyal Soul Hall. The singing was extremely old, and it was Zhao Tuo singing the war song.

"The old Qin will regain my world! I will never stop fighting if my blood does not flow dry!"

The Qin Guards in black followed Zhao Tuo and sang war songs together.

The singing is loud, high-pitched, majestic, heroic, and straight up to the sky.

Their ancestors sang this battle song, crossed the Five Ridges, stepped into Lingnan, and conquered the vast desert land that spanned thousands of miles. Although the 500,000 army was no longer in the world, this battle song was still singing!

The Minyue Royal City covers a very wide area and has many palaces.

In the palace, the king of Minyue, Zuo Ying, his brother Yu Shan, and Liu Ju, each of them occupied a case and raised their glasses to drink.

"Damn!" Zuo Ying looked happy, raised the golden cup and drank it all in one go.

"Dry!"

Yu Shan and Liu Ju raised their glasses, raised their necks, and drank them dry in one sip.

Liu Ju put down the wine glass, grabbed the wine pot, and poured the wine, saying, "King, the Han and the Hungarians battle on the border are undecided. This is the opportunity for the king. You must not miss it. At this time, you will raise an army and attack Dongou, but the Han court cannot control it."

Liu Bi died in Dongou. He wanted to destroy Dongou at all times. As long as he had the chance, he would instigate Zuo Ying to attack Dongou.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, that old thing Zuo Yao can't escape." Zuo Ying certainly understood his intention and changed the topic: "The border war is full of attention. Whoever wins and loses, it's too early to say it, so wait a little longer."

He wished that the Han Dynasty would be defeated, and it would be better to be defeated. In that case, he could annex the East Yue, send troops to the South Yue, occupy the Lingnan land that spans thousands of miles. He would have the strength to compete with the Han Dynasty and become the emperor.

However, he also knew very well that his current strength was too far from that of the Han Dynasty, and he did not dare to do it easily, and it would not be too late to make a decision after a result.

"King, God-given opportunity, you can't miss it!" Liu Ju couldn't give up easily.

"Report to the king, please see Liu Tie, the envoy of the Han Dynasty."

The personal guards walked in quickly and reported.

"Liu Tie? What are he here to do?" Last time Liu Tie came to invite Zuo Ying to taste tea on Zhou Yafu's order, but he didn't dare to go, so he pretended to be sick and refused. Liu Tie came again, why is this?

Seeing him, or not? Zuo Ying was in a little trouble.

Just when he was in trouble, a cold light flashed in Liu Ju's eyes: "King, Liu Tie is Zhou Yafu's confidant. When he came, he must have no good intentions. It's better to kill him. Come on, cut off the head of the visitor!"

As long as Liu Tie is killed, Zuo Ying will not tolerate Zhou Yafu, and it is imperative to go to war with the Han Dynasty. This is exactly the result that Liu Ju wants, and he will not hesitate to seize the title.

"Slowly! Please come in." Zuo Ying didn't understand Liu Ju's intention, but instead made him determined to see him first.

The guards went out and quickly turned around. Liu Tie was wearing military uniform and dust, and he could tell at a glance that he had been rushing for a long time, holding his fists and bowing: "I've seen the king."

"Liu Tie, I am a little itchy, but I really can't go to Changsha to have tea with Tiaohou. Please apologize more." Zuo Ying's face squeezed a smile.

"The king is itchy, how dare I be strong?" Liu Tie glanced at Liu Ju and changed his tone: "Liu Tie came here with an order this time to ask the king for his crime."

"Ask me about my sin?" Zuo Ying was a little funny: "I am not feeling well and cannot taste tea with Tiaohou. Is this also a sin? Have you ever heard of such sin?"

"Ha ha!"

Liu Ju and Yu Shan laughed as if they heard the funnyest jokes in the world.

Liu Tie was silent and refused to hear it: "The king is wrong! The crime I want to ask is not for this! The former Wu Crown Prince Liu Ju asked for shelter from the king. Can the king know that Liu Ju was a major criminal in the court, and the king did not send him to the court, which was a crime of hiding. Tiaohou ordered me to ask the king a word, would he hand over to Liu Ju?"

Liu Ju looked angry and stared at Liu Tie fiercely, about to have an attack, but she winked Zuo Ying to stop him.

Zuo Ying smiled and said, "Tiaohou heard it by mistake! Liu Ju, as the former prince of Wu, did not know where to hide after the death of the King of Wu. If this king knew about it, he would definitely give it to the court."

"The king really doesn't know?" Liu Tie asked again.

"I really don't know!" Zuo Ying said with certainty without thinking.
