Chapter 5: Be prepared to clean up Zheng Ge's ass
Cheng Jiao thought Yaoshan was not far away and could be reached in a few days. However, it took more than ten days of walking and stopping. Fortunately, Li Wu accompanied him for more than ten days.
Teasing Li Wu from time to time makes life more interesting.
One day, we arrived at an abandoned town that had long been deserted.
This small town originally had a population of several thousand people, but was later affected by the war and most of the people there moved elsewhere.
This place is not far from the Yaoshan battlefield. After completing the defense work, Zhang Tang reported to Cheng Jiao about the situation today, and ordered the Qin army to rest early and rush to Yaoshan tomorrow to support General Meng Ao.
Cheng Jiao had no objection. After sending Zhang Tang away, he wanted to take Li Wu with him to continue the fun in broad daylight.
But Li Wu firmly refused.
"Sir, well, I'm hungry, shall we eat?"
Cheng Jiao understood immediately that every girl has those days that make people helpless.
He felt a little regretful. He rested his head on Li Wu's jade-like long legs. Li Wu personally picked up food and fed him rice. He was very satisfied.
Life always needs some variety, otherwise it will be boring.
The two looked at each other affectionately from time to time. Sometimes Cheng Jiao looked at Li Wu with a naughty smile. Li Wu had seen this look countless times, so how could she not understand the meaning? Although she also wanted to be affectionate with Cheng Jiao in her heart, she could only turn a blind eye to him in order to maintain her cold personality when she was outside.
After dinner, Cheng Jiao wanted to go out for a walk and take a look at this desolate town. This was the first time he had entered a town disturbed by war since he came to this world.
"Liwu, what do you feel when you look at this town?"
Cheng Jiao walked for more than half an hour and suddenly stopped at a dilapidated house and asked Li Wu.
"Feelings? What feelings? Aren't places like this common? Is there something wrong?"
Li Wu tilted her head and gently stroked the black cat.
"Yes, it's very common, so common that people don't think there's anything wrong with it. But is it right just because it's common?"
Li Wu was puzzled. She had been exposed to these things since she was a child. When she was on a mission, she saw many desolate and desolate ruins, as well as many people who were close to death.
In fact, in such a scene, Li Wu even felt a little relaxed. It was not like places like the Royal City where she was always tense for fear of being discovered, because even a little bit would be enough to see the god of death.
Li Wu was silent for a while, and then gently recounted his past and what he had seen and heard.
Cheng Jiao listened in silence. He came from two thousand years later and was accustomed to civilization and peace. However, the world today was a place where rituals and music were in ruins, disputes were endless, and death could come at any time, and people didn't even know why they died.
Just like the dying old man in front of him, lying on the haystack, with broken and thin bones around him.
The old man looked at Cheng Jiao without any expression, only emptiness in his eyes. He was so hungry that he had lost his mind and only instinct was driving him to live.
"Liwu, give him a ride."
Although Li Wu didn't understand why this was unnecessary, she still played the flute, causing the old man to slowly close his cloudy eyes, and even his dry skin, which was full of wrinkles, showed a hint of kindness.
This is the kindness that Li Wu is unable to realize in his heart.
When Cheng Jiao saw what Li Wu did, his heart moved and he began to really treat her as a flesh-and-blood person, and completely accepted this lover who belonged to him from the bottom of his heart.
He sighed.
"Bones are exposed in the wild, and only one out of a hundred people survive. Li Wu, what do you think I should do?"
Li Wu said nothing, the sound of the flute became low from melodious, and Cheng Jiao could hear the confusion in Li Wu's voice.
"This world and this country need to be unified, and must be unified. A short pain is worse than a long one!"
Li Wu's flute music suddenly stopped.
"Unification?"
Cheng Jiao nodded. "Yes, unification. The conflicts among the seven kingdoms have caused the people to be displaced. If the seven kingdoms are unified, the people can breathe a sigh of relief and have some hope for the future."
Li Wu was shocked. Unifying the seven kingdoms? Who could have such an ambition? And who could realize it?
Looking at the dazed Li Wu, Cheng Jiao smiled.
"Don't you believe that someone can make it happen?"
Li Wu first shook her head, then nodded thoughtfully.
"If there is really someone who unified the seven kingdoms as you said, it is probably in Qin. Are you talking about yourself?"
Li Wu suddenly hugged Cheng Jiao from behind.
"If you are interested in the throne, I will not refuse even if I die."
Cheng Jiao felt a little embarrassed, Li Wu must have misunderstood.
With my surfing skills, I still haven’t learned papermaking, military, gunpowder, iron smelting, and farm tool manufacturing online…
What serious person would have nothing to do to prepare for time travel?
Besides, with his subordinates who can be counted on one hand and the forces that can barely protect themselves under the siege of Lu Buwei and Changping Jun, how could they possibly unite the current Qin State and operate this war machine at full capacity?
As the saying goes, develop slowly, stay steady and don't recklessly.
Those who do not plan for the whole world are not qualified to plan for the moment. Those who do not plan for the whole world are not qualified to plan for a region. The Art of War by Sun Tzu says: “A mediocre person plans for things, a wise person plans for the whole world.
He, Cheng Jiao, planned for the future and the unification of the world, so how could he only focus on the seven countries? He just thought about these in his mind and did not say much to Li Wu.
She doesn't understand my heart and treats it as a game.
Cheng Jiao turned around, put his arm around Li Wu and held her hand tightly with the other.
"Li Wu, how can I bear to see you take risks? Although I have compassion for the world, I also know my own limitations. The current King of Qin is about to take power. If I fight with him, Qin will surely be torn apart and the seven kingdoms will no longer be united."
Cheng Jiao was very confident. With his familiarity with the plot of Qin's Moon and the help of the system, it was hard to say who would ascend the throne if they competed with his brother Zheng.
But is it necessary? My ideal is to work for Bubble Girl, travel around and play with heroes. How can I do the work of Brother Zheng?
Li Wu was very touched that the prince was willing to give up the throne for her.
She couldn't help but look at Cheng Jiao infatuatedly, snuggling in his arms, and couldn't help but touch his cheek with her jade hands.
Cheng Jiao was so taken care of by the beauty that he continued to chat.
"Although my brother has the ambition to be an emperor and the ability to unify the country, he is too confident and conceited. I am somewhat proficient in the art of prophecy, and I can see that the seven kingdoms will be unified under his leadership, but they will also fall apart again under his leadership and perish in the second generation."
Li Wu looked a little panicked.
"Can you stop it, sir?"
Cheng Jiao is very confident.
"Of course it wouldn't be possible without me. Now that I'm here, don't worry, we'll grow old together."
He had already prepared himself mentally to take care of Zheng Ge's aftermath and become the last minister of the Qin Dynasty.
Li Wu leaned against Cheng Jiao and whispered "hmm" in his ear.
Cheng Jiao laughed heartily at the beauty's trust in him.
At this moment, what rare commodity is there, Lü Buwei, what Chu clique leader Changping Jun, what Queen Mother Zhao Ji.
Uh, when he thought of Zhao Ji, Cheng Jiao realized that he had overlooked a very terrible reality.
