If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 768: Fairy Feiyu flaps the butterfly's wings
When she returned to the village, all the leaders and followers no longer treated her as a gangster as they did last night.

Not to say that they were treated as gods, but at least they were treated as VIPs.

Although Zhongli's family was in poverty, Zhongli Mei's mother was not at all rude and careless like a village woman.

She is as elegant as an old lady.

Well, he was born into a family of officials.

Xiaoyu could tell from the other person's words and actions.

"The old lady can eat whatever she wants and as much as she can. There is nothing taboo about it.

There are only two points to note. First, after eating, you should go out for a walk to help digestion.

Secondly, try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, just picked from the garden. Pickles and pickles are for appetizers, but should not be a staple food for a long time. "

If you say this to the poor families in the city, it is not an easy thing to do.

It is now late winter and early spring, the leaves of the trees have just sprouted, and there are not many vendors selling fresh vegetables and fruits in the market.

It is also thanks to the fact that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of this world all have great magical powers.

Huangdi, in particular, loved to drive around the world in a speeding car.

In countless remote countries and tribes, the civilization heritage from the Central Plains was left behind, and local specialties were also brought back.

Flying cars are a specialty of the overseas "Alien Kingdom" Zhou Rao.

Silkworms, livestock, and crop seeds were Huangdi's main focus.

Therefore, in China in the past, vegetables and grains that only appeared in modern times had already appeared in the Central Plains of the Pangu world before the Qin Dynasty.

For example, carrots, cabbage, onions and so on.

However, Xiaoyu discovered that the rural people in the Qin Dynasty preferred to dig "wild vegetables".

We grow crops in our own fields, and when we want to eat vegetables, we go to the wild to dig them up.

In late autumn, winter and early spring, when there are no wild vegetables to be found, people eat pickles.

Huangdi and several other great emperors of the human race brought back a lot of grains, vegetables, fruits and seeds from overseas and the wilderness. However, it was difficult to popularize the high-yield and high-survival-rate varieties among ordinary farmers.

In fact, in the "modern society" of her previous life, ordinary farmers rarely saved their own seeds.

If you save your own seeds, the quality of the seeds will vary, and you may be unlucky and encounter a large number of inferior seeds.

Poor quality seeds can be planted, but the yield is not guaranteed, and it wastes time, manpower and material resources, and more importantly, a good piece of land. How can the poor people in the countryside afford to waste?

Seed preservation is a highly technical and delicate job.

It is better to dig wild vegetables, which saves time, effort, and money, and has a high cost-effectiveness ratio.

Xiaoyu asked Zhongli Mei's mother to eat more fresh vegetables because she saw some farmers cultivating the sloping land in the back mountain.

Also because she mentioned fresh vegetables in the morning, there were several pots of bacon stewed with radish and cabbage on the table at lunch.

In the morning, Zhongli Mei's mother was there to accompany him, and Xiaoyu talked to them more about ways to maintain health.

It was only after lunch that Xiaoyu had the chance to inquire about Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang.

"To be honest, I didn't know you had the ability of Bian Que before. I was thinking in my heart that after I bury my mother, I will disband the Mengshan Yimin and take only the brothers who are willing to follow me to Wuzhong to seek refuge with Lord Xiang Liang."

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "Although I am young, I have been traveling around the world for several years.

I have always heard that the two heroes of Western Chu are very famous, but they are rarely seen.

"Brother, why are you so sure that you can find Lord Xiang Liang?"

There were no mobile phones in that era, and the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family were wandering around. They couldn't find anywhere if they wanted to contact each other or send letters.

Zhong Limei smiled, "Not only can I find him, any hero who is willing to find him can usually find him.

The so-called appearing and disappearing like ghosts and having no fixed place to stay were nothing more than excuses given by officials to the Qin court.

Lord Xiang Liang is in Wuzhong.

The governor of Wuzhong, the county magistrate, and the aristocratic families all knew about it and had close contacts with him. "

Xiao Yu was surprised and said, “I saw the Shadow God Picture of Xiang Liang’s uncle and nephew at the gate of Hengshan County.

In the list of wanted criminals by the Qin Dynasty, they could even be ranked at the top.

Why are the officials and aristocratic families in Wuzhong not afraid of being investigated by the court?"

Zhong Limei shook his head and said: "If the court has the ability and the courage to investigate, they will certainly have concerns.

But is the current Qin court capable of holding those responsible accountable?
Wuzhong was the old Chu territory, with a well-developed Zhenze (Taihu Lake) water system and complex terrain.

Even when Ying Zheng was still alive, the power of Xianyang would have difficulty in influencing that place.

It has been eight or nine years since Ying Zheng died, and the world is in turmoil. Anyone with insight knows that Qin has lost its mandate of heaven.

Who would risk offending thousands of heroes in Chu just to earn the little reward offered by the Qin court?
If you really get the reward, you have to live to spend it."

Xiaoyu had to admit that although she had been in Shenzhou for almost a month and had heard a lot about the underworld, she still had not truly integrated into it.

Perhaps, Zhongli Mei will become her breakthrough to come into contact with the real world of the Central Plains.

"Now that the old lady is gradually recovering, do you still want to go to Wuzhong?"

Zhongli Mei hesitated and said, "As the saying goes, one should not travel far away while his parents are still alive.

Besides, my mother is alone and helpless, and if I go to Wuzhong, I don’t know when I can come back.

But my brother’s medical skills are so great that my mother got rid of her illness so easily.

I feel she is healthier than when I drove her back to Zhongli County a few years ago."

Xiao Yu asked, "Brother, do you have the intention to take the old lady back to the Jianghuai area?"

Zhongli Mei asked: "If I take my mother to Wuzhong, can she bear the hardship of traveling?"

Xiaoyu hopes to follow Zhongli Mei to Wuzhong to find Xiang Liang.

But it's not a good thing for his mother to travel thousands of miles at this time.

After a moment's silence, she told the truth: "The old lady has never practiced Kung Fu. Now that she is over 60, it is time for her to enjoy her old age.

My brother should leave Mengshan now, hide his identity, go to a small county town to become a local rich man, marry a wife, and give the old lady a grandson. This is the life she wants most and enjoys the most. "

Zhong Limei's face was filled with more sorrow, and he sighed, "Although you are young, your words are very wise and thought-provoking.

But I also have a big problem here.

Mengshan is no longer a peaceful place, and I cannot remain anonymous. "

"Oh, is there anything that I don't know about?" Xiao Yu asked. Zhong Limei said: "Brother, you came from the northwest border, and you should be impressed by the Hu people's cavalry that knock on the gate every year, right?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "For such a big event, why would we need to go to the borderland to get information?"

Zhong Limei sighed, "Recently, a piece of news came from the north that is exciting but may cost the lives of hundreds of my brothers in Mengshan.

The entire tribe of King Zuoguli was annihilated, and Xiu Ge was killed by a powerful man named "Flying Feather Fairy".

The 300,000-strong Donghu army was completely killed or wounded in Juyong Pass.

The Hu people are finished, which is great news for the people of China.

But once the Hu people are gone, the Qin court will be able to free up its hands to deal with rebels like us who occupy the mountains and claim to be kings."

Xiao Yu said: "Meng Yi and Li Xin will not leave the Great Wall, the Great Wall Army will always be stationed at the Great Wall.

Maybe when spring and summer come, Meng Yi will lead his troops out to wipe out the Xiongnu."

Zhong Limei smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you think too highly of me. How could I be worried about such great generals as Meng Yi and Li Xin?
Even if they no longer guard the Great Wall and have nothing to do, the Qin court will not kill a chicken with a dragon-slaying sword.

The biggest threat to Mengshan is only the soldiers from the prefectures and counties, or even the county lieutenant.

The Donghu and Zuoguli King's troops will definitely not move south in the next few years, and the pressure on the Great Wall defense line in the east has been greatly reduced.

The county garrison camps originally drawn from Hengshan, Julu, Hejian, Taiyuan and other counties must return to their respective counties.

Take Zhongli County here for example.

There had never been a county lieutenant in the county before.

The county lieutenant led a 2,000-man patrol battalion to the border of Dai County to guard against the Hu people completely breaking through the northern defense line and entering the heart of the Central Plains. "

The Qin Dynasty army was divided into three categories: capital troops, border troops, and local troops.

Needless to say, the soldiers of the capital city, not only the defenders inside and outside the city of Xianyang, but also the old Qin soldiers in the entire Guanzhong, are basically considered soldiers of the capital city.

The border troops mainly consisted of the Great Wall Corps led by Meng Yi and Meng Tian in the north and northwest, the "Eastern Sea Corps" led by military marquises such as Lieyang Hou in the east, and the "Baiyue Corps" led by Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiong in the south.

In addition to the three major legions, there are more than a hundred military marquises who are stationed in the corners outside the Central Plains. They are too scattered and cannot be connected into one, so they cannot form a large legion.

In theory, the border troops are the core combat power of the Qin Dynasty.

The local army was led by the county lieutenant and county lieutenant with the assistance of the county governor and county magistrate.

When there is no war, they maintain local public order, and when war occurs, they naturally have to obey the central government's orders.

In recent years, the Hu people have been knocking on the border every year, and the people have been forced to do hard labor, which is very hard.

Being a soldier also has a hard life. You either have to be transferred directly to the front line or stay in the rear and wait to go to the front line.

We can't just let the Hu people run rampant in the heart of the Central Plains after they break through the Great Wall, right?

In fact, when the King of Donghu said "I will go south to the Central Plains this summer", Yuwen Bo immediately advised him to stick to the "big cake eating strategy": eat slowly from the outside and don't go to the Central Plains to die.

If the Donghu went south, they would inevitably run into local military corps organized and united by various counties.

Now that the situation in the north has been basically determined, the Hu people will not be able to cross the Great Wall defense line in the next few years. The local corps in the rear will naturally be disbanded and everyone will return to their own homes.

Then, bandits like Zhongli Mei of Mengshan will be in big trouble. But because of the "Shen Ming Fa", the Qin court may also be in big trouble (ps).

Different from other mountain kings who just muddle through their days, Zhongli Mei has a strategic vision.

At this time, the defense battle of the Great Wall had just ended, and he smelled danger and planned to run away.

"With brother's strength, does the nearby county town or prefecture have the power to endanger Mount Mengshan?" Xiao Yu asked.

Zhongli Mei sighed and said, "There are only 300 combat-ready soldiers in the entire village.

Not to mention those famous generals who were awarded titles for their military merits, all we need are two or three county lieutenants, each leading two thousand soldiers and horses.

They surrounded Mengshan step by step and forced me to lead my men down the mountain to attack the camp.

After two or three months of fighting, with dozens of fierce battles, big and small, how many of the three hundred brothers in the village are left?

When I am alone, a mere 500-man army will be able to capture me."

Xiaoyu traveled along the way and even saw a high-level human immortal in the countryside.

The county lieutenant is the military chief of a county, and his strength and ability to command troops must be strong.

If it was true as Zhongli Mei said, two or three counties joined forces and three county lieutenants and thousands of soldiers besieged Mengshan.

Zhongli Mei was able to repel wave after wave of attacks, but he himself must have suffered heavy losses as well.

When the elite troops in the stronghold are exhausted, he himself might really be surrounded and killed.

Xiao Yu said: "Mengshan knows everything that happened in Zhongli County. Could it be that brother has received some accurate information?"

Zhongli Mei nodded slightly and said, "Brother, you should be familiar with Sima Ling of the Qin Dynasty, right?

I am a close friend of Li Xi, the Sima Ling of Hengshan County.

He came to Mengshan in person two days ago, drank with me and then sternly warned me that the county governor was mobilizing troops and would attack me after the busy spring season.

The Jinyiwei was not created in the Ming Dynasty. Dynasties before the Ming Dynasty also had their own spy systems.

In the Tang Dynasty, he was called "Bad People", in the Han Dynasty, he was called "Da Shui Zu", and in the Qin Dynasty, he was called Sima Ling.

Sima Ling is not a mysterious organization like 007 or Mission Impossible.

In the Qin Dynasty, Sima Ling was almost known to everyone.

Because Emperor Ren Zheng liked to tour the Central Plains in a chariot, and wherever the chariot went, there would be a large number of Sima Lings to check for dangerous situations in advance.

They even went into the countryside and checked house by house.

"The Qin Dynasty is really in trouble. Even Sima Ling is unreliable." Xiao Yu sighed.

Zhongli Mei felt that her position was a bit problematic, and asked: "Brother, do you think that the Qin Dynasty should not perish given its brutality?"

Xiao Yu sighed, "It's not a question of whether he should die or not, it's that he died too quickly. How many years has it only been since Emperor Ren Zheng died?"

Zhongli Mei said: "The people of the world have suffered from Qin for a long time. When Emperor Ren Zheng was alive, he only continued to increase the suffering of the people of the world.

It wasn't after his death that everyone suddenly became miserable and wanted to rebel.

It’s just that the Human Emperor does have great power, and no one in the world dares to challenge him.

We must wait until he dies, and then heroes will spring up like mushrooms after rain and rise up one after another."

Xiao Yu looked at the rebel leader and asked curiously, "Brother, what do you think of the Hu people going south to the Central Plains?"
