Lian Ke's words were like poppy, even if he said it in such a casual tone, it was particularly tickling.
Qin Jue not only thought that if it was him a month ago, he thought, he would agree.
Seeing that Qin Jue did not answer, Lian Ke continued.
"You are the Prince of Qin, the orthodox heir to the throne, are you willing to be abolished like this? If you are not willing, we can help you, help you return to the capital, and restore your position.
They even lend you soldiers directly to help you fight back! "
Qin Jue heard the words, and his eyes flashed, "So, the country of Qin has been infiltrated by the forces of Zeguo?"
Lian Ke said with a smile, "You don't need to worry about this, just say whether you want to cooperate or not! If you agree, our majesty will consecrate you as Qin Guojun and treat you with the highest reward."
Qin Jue asked, "What if I don't agree?"
Lian Ke was stunned for a moment, and then his face sank, "Then there is no way, useless people are in our Zeguo, and the only way is to feed the fish!"
After speaking, his subordinates opened the window so that Qin Jue could see outside.
At this time, they were already on the lake. As soon as the doors and windows were opened, the cold wind came blowing with a strange smell.
In addition to their ship, there are 20 or 30 medium-sized cargo ships around. Because of the narrow lake surface, they have to line up in separate rows. Looking at it like this, it is really a mighty area.
After Qin Jue swept the numbers, he seemed to ask unintentionally, "Are all the people on these boats from Zeguo lurking in the Qin country to run business?"
Lian Ke smiled, "How is that possible? It's not so easy to cross the border, but they are all my people, and they are famous water bandits on the curved river! The whole waters of Xiangcheng are my chassis! As for these ships , of course we robbed it from the caravan!"
Qin Jue immediately understood when he heard the words.
Xiangcheng is located on the border of Qin State, and the border between Qin State and Ze State is the curved river.
Because Wanjiang is the handover of the two countries, it is not easy to manage. The cities near Wanjiang are mostly places where the wicked are exiled. Over time, a group of water bandits, large and small, can be gathered here. There are three to five thousand people.
They sometimes harassed the state of Ze, and sometimes robbed the state of Qin. The emperors of both countries had sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but because the curved river was too large, they could not even catch the shadow of the water bandits. The bandits are neither from Zeguo nor from Qin. They are in a gray area, so it is no wonder that they will be used.
Qin Jue asked curiously, "So you are going to take your people to flee to Wanjiang?"
"certainly."
Xu Shi felt that Qin Jue was not a threat, and Lian Ke did not hide it from him, and said directly.
"Just now, in order to invite His Royal Highness as a guest, there was a lot of noise, and it is estimated that they are looking for us everywhere.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you cross the Red Sand Valley, you can go straight into the curved river. At that time, the King of Heaven will not be able to catch me! "
Red Sand Valley.
Qin Jue shook her head and chuckled when she heard the words.
When Xie Linlang called out that the other party was from Zeguo, he had guessed where these people were hiding.
After all, the entire Xiangcheng is under his surveillance, and it is impossible for spies to mix in, so the only possibility is that they have been hiding outside the city, in a place where it is convenient to inquire about news and can be evacuated at any time.
He could only think of one such place, and that was the cargo ship they saw on the way when they came.
Since the other party came by boat, he would definitely go by boat, and the best place to avoid pursuit and get away with impunity was to do nothing but bend the river.
But if he wants to go to Wanjiang, he must pass through Hongsha Valley, so he will not resist and let these people take him away.
Anyway, the other party doesn't seem to intend to kill him, and he also needs to know the details of the other party.
Seeing Qin Jue's silence, Lian Ke smiled contemptuously, "Okay, don't try it, it's useless, no one will come to save you, and you can't escape! Go, now that group of people may still be searching door-to-door in the city!
By the time they figure it out, we'll be long gone! So you don't have to take chances, just say the answer directly!
To cooperate, or to die? "
Under the cold stare of the other party, Qin Jue smiled palely and sighed softly.
"Do I still have a choice? I'm already a prisoner. What the emperor of Zeguo wants me to do, it's better to say it directly."
Seeing his acquaintance, Lian Ke sneered a few times.
"You're refreshing, and I won't go around in circles with you, the reason why our Majesty wants to help you is because you are a orthodox lineage!
We can help you get the country of Daqin. In return, after the success, you need to pay filial piety to Zeguo to the south of Qilian and east of Boyang. Is this a good deal? "
Qin Jue couldn't help laughing. South of Qilian and east of Boyang, this is equivalent to encircling all the dangerous places in the southeast of Qin State. What is the difference between directly annexing it
But he replied on the face, "So it is, thanks to His Majesty Zeguo's attention, I, Qin Jue, have nothing, and there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as His Majesty can keep his promise to help me avenge, not to mention ceding land, even bowing to Zeguo as a minister, should also be of."
His words really pleased Lian Ke greatly. It seems that Qin Jue is more aware of current affairs than he imagined!
"Very good!" He laughed loudly. "If you have this heart, Your Majesty will value you even more if you want to come! Come here, bring some wine! Today, I, Lian Ke, will drink 300 glasses with the future Qin Guojun!"
"Yes."
His subordinates hurriedly went to get the wine. The cabin they were in was very luxurious right now, with all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and of course there was no shortage of wine and food.
Qin Jue didn't appear to be in a hurry at all. The stand-in looked so similar to him that it was hard to tell whether it was true or false even when he saw it himself. Presumably Xie Linlang wouldn't find out so quickly, maybe... She wouldn't at all. Find.
So he has plenty of time to deal with the people in front of him, and plenty of time to take care of him.
Originally, he had no nostalgia for Qin, and even if he knew that Lian Ke was from Zeguo, he wouldn't have so much hostility, but Xie Linlang's words that night woke him up.
It's not that if you don't commit crimes, people won't commit crimes against you. How can you allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch
So Lian Ke and others must die!
Because Xiangcheng is his.
He doesn't care how much eyeliner Zeguo wants to put in Qin country, only Xiangcheng, no one will want to get involved!
The wine came up quickly. During this period, Lian Ke kept persuading him to drink, and he kept instilling the benefits of working with them to Qin Jue, and praised him for what a wise decision he made!
Of course, in his opinion, Qin Jue has no reason to refuse. After all, he is a waste prince, and someone wants to help him. That is a good thing from heaven!
Even if he will become the puppet of Zeguo from now on, so what? Wouldn't it be better than being demoted to Xiangcheng and waiting to die
