The Counterattack of the Villains

Chapter 2 Leveraging Strength to Help Su

In just over half an hour, the official slave camp became completely silent, and everyone had been killed by Li Mu.

All the lists of official slaves were taken out and handed over to him by Li Mu using the soul-moving method to control hundreds of generals.

After killing hundreds of generals, Li Mu carried a pile of bamboo slips outside and threw them one by one into the brazier used by the Qin soldiers on duty to burn them.

After all the bamboo slips were reduced to ashes, he poured his true energy into the "Tinghui points" in both ears, greatly increasing his hearing, and then walked around the entire official slave camp.

After confirming that nothing was missing, he gathered a large amount of copper coins obtained from the corpses of the Qin soldiers after killing them, and started using Qinggong to plunder the official slave camp.

The coins of this era were divided into upper coins and lower coins. The upper coins were gold and the unit was "yi".

One yi is equal to twenty taels, and the specifications are gold cakes. It is basically rare for ordinary people to see it, and it is usually only circulated among the rich and powerful.

The lower coin is a copper plate, which is the "Brother Kong Fang" that has been used for two thousand years. It is round on the outside and square on the inside, which means the sky is round and the place is round.

Because the standard is one penny and half a liang, it is called "Qin Banliang".

One liang in the Qin Dynasty was about 16 grams, so half a liang was only about 8 grams, not 25 grams in later generations.

Silver is not yet used as a currency in circulation. "Historical Records Pingzhunshu" records that silver and tin are treasures for ornaments, not coins.

Qin Banliang's purchasing power is quite strong. He can buy a handful of corn for thirty cents, and he can have a good meal in a restaurant for thirty to five cents.

One dendrobium is equivalent to one stone in later generations, which is about 120 kilograms.

When Liu Bang was in Pei County, his family was so poor that he couldn't help but live in poverty. In addition to eating and drinking around, he also relied on donations from his friends.

When he was in the most difficult time, other friends only gave him three cents, and Xiao He gave him five cents. Liu Bang remembered him for half his life.

When he conquered the world and established the feudal lords of the Han Dynasty, he granted Xiao He two thousand more households than others due to this incident.

One penny to feed a thousand households, this can be regarded as the most successful investment in history.

Li Mu got five to six hundred cents from the corpses in the official slave camp. On average, each Qin soldier only had a few cents, but it was enough for him to live well for two months.

If we live according to the standards of ordinary people, this amount of money can last more than a year.

But there is no need for him to wrong himself so much. With his ability, he will soon be able to live a life of the rich and powerful.

Li Mu felt that his top priority was to get Xiaoyue out of the palace first.

While she is still young, you can teach her martial arts and cultivate her into a martial arts master that is beyond the knowledge of the natives of this world.

In this way, she can not only protect herself in the future, but also become a good helper for herself.

However, Li Mu had no intention of sneaking into the palace directly, finding Xiaoyue and taking her away, because that would inevitably leave consequences.

The safest way is to get her out of the palace in a fair and just manner.

Therefore, he had to borrow strength, and he had to be someone who could walk in the palace and speak in front of the First Emperor.

For now, the most suitable candidate is none other than Fusu.

First of all, Fusu was very popular with the First Emperor. If he asked for a palace maid, the First Emperor probably wouldn't take it seriously.

Secondly, given Fusu's character, if Li Mu came to recommend himself, he would be able to be reused as long as he showed some tricks.

At that time, if he asks Fusu to help get Xiaoyue out of the palace, he has no reason to refuse.

Moreover, Li Mu also needs an opportunity to integrate into Da Qin. For the time being, he must first solve the problem of settling down before he can plan more.

In the Qin Dynasty, if there was no registration card similar to the identity card of later generations, everyone would be regarded as a refugee and would be arrested and used as an official slave to do hard labor. It was difficult to move forward.

Although no one can catch him with his abilities, is it still troublesome?

But right now, he still had to get some decent clothes and dress them properly.

Otherwise, with this unkempt appearance and ragged clothes, no matter how much Fu Su seeks talents, Corporal Li Xian, he might not even be able to get through the door of the Young Master's Mansion and will be driven away by the concierge. That would be so embarrassing.

This was not a big problem. He was very familiar with it. He still used the old method of finding a suitable suit of clothes from a wealthy family, and then ran to the Wei River outside the city to take a bath.

There was no soap and shampoo, so he had to make do with the plant ash and soap locust that people of this era were accustomed to using.

It seems that he has to get those things out in Tianlong World as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be really inconvenient.

Making soap requires caustic soda, which is not difficult to obtain. Mix shell ash and plant ash to generate caustic soda, and then add lard to make soap.

This thing alone is a hugely profitable industry, not to mention that he also knows how to make salt, paper, and steel, which are technologies that can change an era.

After cleaning, Li Mu used internal force to steam dry her hair. Her long hair, which was tangled, messy and smelled of rancidity, finally became slightly smoother.

After Gao Yao put on a dark gray suit that was neither luxurious nor ordinary, he tied his hair into a Qin Dynasty bun and tied it with a hair tie according to the Qin people's hair style in Gao Yao's memory.

Tie a money bag around your waist, put dozens of coins in it, and wrap the rest in a bag and carry it on your shoulder.

A few hundred pennies is equivalent to seven or eight kilograms of weight. What we are talking about here is market kilograms, not Qin kilograms.

In the Qin Dynasty, a pound was only 258 grams. Calculated by Qin pounds, his few hundred coins were worth fifteen or six pounds.

After a lot of planning, I finally have some appearance, at least I will no longer be regarded as a homeless beggar.

It was already late at night when he finished taking a bath. He did not return to Xianyang immediately, but planned to linger outside the city for a while before marching into the city to serve at the Prince's Mansion in Fusu.

Because the incident in the official slave camp will definitely happen tomorrow, he happened to go to work today and showed extraordinary force, maybe someone will think of him.

So he planned to wait a few days until news of this incident spread before heading there.

He went to a village outside Xianyang City and found a farmer to live in for five cents a day.

Because he needed to show his registration card to stay in an inn, he couldn't get it out, so he had no choice but to stay at a farmer's house.

Three days later, Li Mucai returned to Xianyang City with his baggage. At this time, the story of the Qin army in the official slave camp and the mysterious deaths of the official slaves had already spread.

The case was handed over to Tingwei for investigation, but three days passed without any news of any progress in the case. Rumors of ghosts and plagues began to spread among the people.

The Tingwei who handled the case could confirm that the people in the official slave camp definitely did not die from the plague, otherwise they would not have died so silently.

It was not poisoning. There was no poison in the body of the deceased, and there was no sign of poisoning on the outside.

Everyone was lying on the bed well, and they probably died suddenly while sleeping.

No matter how they investigated, they could not figure out the cause of death of these people. In the end, even Tingwei had some doubts as to whether it was really ghosts causing trouble.

After all, in one night, more than 400 people suddenly died suddenly while sleeping. There was no sign of struggle at all, and no wounds could be found on their bodies.

Even the "Lingshi" of this era, that is, the widows of later generations, did not find anything abnormal after dissecting the corpse.

Logically speaking, there is no reason for them to die, but they just died, and everyone has to be suspicious.

There was a high probability that this case would become an unsolved case, so Li Mu paid no more attention to it.

After he found out where Fusu's mansion was, he went straight to the door.

Fusu lived in Xianyang Palace before he came of age, and established a residence outside the palace after he came of age. Fortunately, otherwise Li Mu would not be able to find a way to join Fusu.

Fusu's Young Master's Mansion is not far from Xianyang Palace and covers a large area. According to Li Mu's knowledge, several football fields can be built in just this mansion.

In this era, it is not popular to place stone lions in front of the door. There are only two stone lampposts on the left and right for lighting.

Next to the lamppost, there is a large bluestone staircase with only two steps, which is the horse-mounting stone.

Because stirrups had not been invented in this era, cavalry often jumped up. However, for the powerful, it was not suitable to mount their horses in this way. Therefore, there would be a mounting stone at the door of the powerful people's houses.

The middle door of the Young Master's Mansion is closed, and only the side doors on both sides are open. There are four Qin soldiers holding swords guarding the door, and there is also a swordsman standing with his sword.

Seeing Li Mu approaching the gate of the mansion, the sword-armed soldier said, "Stop anyone who comes. This is the residence of Mr. Fusu. Don't break in."

Li Mut walked calmly to the bottom of the steps and said to the soldier: "I am a high-ranking person from Handan. I came here to help Mr. Su. I also asked the military master to pass the news."

Gao Yao was a later generation from Handan, Hebei Province, so when he came to the Qin Dynasty, he also considered himself a Handan person.

Because Handan was the capital of Zhao State in the old days, Gao Yao was later given the surname Zhao by the First Emperor for his merits, and then he became Zhao Gao.

Although Gao Yao has an ordinary appearance, Li Mu has been in a high position for two consecutive worlds and is respected by the world. He has an aura about him that the soldiers do not dare to underestimate.

Moreover, Fusu was a tolerant man, so the character of the people in his house would not be any worse.

After the soldier looked Li Mu up and down, he asked gently: "May I ask what your skills are?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "It's easy to say, I know a little bit about martial arts, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and horoscopes, strange and obscene skills, and martial arts of riding and archery."

"Hehehe..."

Several Qin soldiers couldn't help laughing, and the sword-armor said with a smile: "It sounds like you have a lot of talent in the world."

"But it's empty talk. I'm afraid I'll be laughed at if I report it to you like this. We don't understand anything else. Why don't you show off your martial arts?"

Li Mu said without changing his expression: "It should be so."

After speaking, he looked around and immediately walked towards the stone lamppost on the left. The soldier and the four Qin soldiers watched his movements with interest.

The stone lamppost was as tall as a person, so thick and heavy that it usually took four people to lift it.

If this person can move it by himself, his courage is extremely extraordinary.

However, the next moment, the smiles on the faces of the five people disappeared and turned into looks of horror.

Li Mu was seen holding the stone lamppost with both hands, and softly shouted "get up", and the stone lamppost flew up completely.

Then Li Mu kicked off his feet and jumped two feet away. In the blink of an eye, he reached the right side. He followed the same pattern and the stone lamppost flew higher than the one on the left.

When the stone lamppost on the right flew to the left, the stone lamppost on the left just happened to fall. Li Mu put his hands together, caught it steadily, and quickly placed it on the spot of the stone lamppost on the right.

Then he took another step back to the left, just in time to catch the stone lamppost flying from the right, and put it down lightly to the ground.

Li Mu used such a shocking method to adjust the positions of the stone lampposts on both sides.

After doing this, Li Mu clapped his hands, walked back to the door, smiled at the soldier and said, "You're showing off your shame."

The stunned five people came to their senses, and the swordsman quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "Sir, I admire your miraculous skills. Please wait a moment, sir. I will go in and report."

Li Mu cupped his fists and returned the salute: "Thank you, Mr. Laojun."

The soldier quickly ran in from the side door. Li Mu was waiting outside for some tea time. A young man wearing a black robe, with a gentle demeanor and an extraordinary appearance walked out of the mansion, followed by the soldier.

.

After the two came out, the soldier said to Li Mu: "Mr. Gao, this is my young master."

Hearing this, Li Mu cupped his fists and bowed to Fusu, saying: "Gao Yao, a native of Handan, has met Mr. Fusu."

Fu Su walked down the steps, stretched out his hand to hold Li Mu's clasped hand, helped him up, and said warmly: "Mr. Gao, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly."

In just a few steps down the steps, he could see clearly that the stone lamppost had indeed been moved, because there were marks on the edge of the bottom of the pillar.

He couldn't help but be secretly happy. Not to mention the other abilities mentioned by the captain, with this bravery alone, he had acquired the talent of at least one powerful general.

After Li Mu stood up, he said to Fusu Zhengse: "I have heard that the young master is resolute and brave, trusts people and strives for success, is generous, kind, and approachable. He is a rare wise master. Gao Yao is attracted by his reputation and is willing to serve for the young master."

Anyone who hears this will be overjoyed, and a person's knowledge can often be seen from his conversation.

Li Mu's words were quite skillful. Fusu couldn't hold back his joy, and his face was full of smiles.

"Sir, I'm so complimentary. Fu Su's help is like adding more wings to a tiger. I invite you to come into the house and talk about it."

"Master, please."

Li Mu followed Fu Su into the mansion, and the two of them walked slowly side by side. Fu Su said, "I wonder what your opinion is, sir, on the general trend of the world today?"

Li Mu immediately understood in his heart that it was time for the entrance examination.

After pondering for a while, Li Mu slowly said: "It has been more than two thousand years since the three emperors ruled the world and the five emperors established their relationships."

"Countries in the world attack each other, and disputes continue, and the people hardly live a stable life for a few years."

"Until His Majesty came out of the sky, swept through all the wastelands, leveled the Liuhe, unified the world, and unified the weights and measures with the same writing and the same text, and unified the weights and measures, so that there were no barriers in the world, and finally ended the two thousand years of chaos."

"But the Qin Dynasty has not long since unified the world. There are both internal and external troubles. The country is not yet stable. Your Majesty and the Young Master may not be able to relax."

Fusu nodded secretly, his attitude became more humble, and asked: "Sir, where do you think the current internal and external troubles in Da Qin come from?"

Li Mu spoke eloquently: "Let's talk about internal worries first. The Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the four seas. It is a great blessing for the people of the world."

"But for the remnants of the aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms, Great Qin has the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the family. Now they are only frightened by the power of our elite warriors of Great Qin and dare not act rashly."

"Once something goes wrong with the Qin Dynasty, they will definitely take advantage of the situation to rise up against the Qin Dynasty and restore the country. In this way, the world will be in chaos again."

"As for foreign aggression, the Qiang, Yuezhi, Wusun and other Rongdi in the northwest, the Xiongnu in the north, the Donghu in the northeast, and the Baiyue in the south are all external threats to the Qin Dynasty."

Although Fusu was a little worried because of what Li Mu said, he was also very happy that he could see the general trend of the world so clearly, and he was already sure in his heart that he did have talents.

At that moment, he said with a humble attitude: "Everything you said makes sense, but I don't know how Da Qin can get out of this situation of internal and external troubles. Please teach me, sir."

Li Mu said: "I don't dare. I only have a few insights. If what I say is wrong, I hope you will forgive me."

Fusu said: "Sir, please speak frankly. Fusu is all ears."

Li Mudao said: "There is no other way to deal with foreign troubles, but to cultivate virtues internally, manage military preparations externally, and continuously strengthen the country and army, then we can sweep away all the barbarians and bring peace to the world."

"Regarding this, I have some strange techniques that can improve the combat effectiveness of Da Qin's army. I will talk about this in detail later."

"Let's talk about internal worries first. I believe that before we fight against foreign aggression, we must first calm down the internal situation. Compared with foreign aggression, internal worries are actually more deadly to the country."

Fusu couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Sir, you are a great talent. You must first calm down the internal affairs when fighting against the outside world." This statement is true to every word."

"If we are internally uneasy and cannot be united as one, we will not be able to do our best in the face of external troubles, and may even suffer internal and external difficulties, leading to a complete collapse."

"On the contrary, if the internal situation is stable and the whole country is united, with the great Qin being strong and prosperous, why worry about the barbarians not being able to subjugate themselves?"

Li Mu smiled and nodded and said: "That's right. Nowadays, all the barbarians are surrounding us. If we want to keep peace, we can't go to war against the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, but we can't let it go either way, otherwise it will be a big trouble."

"Young master, you might as well try to resolve the hatred of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms against the Qin Dynasty, so that they will change from not daring to rebel to unwilling to rebel. Just like when Yu the Great controlled the floods, it was better to block them than to remove them."

"As long as the remnants of the Six Kingdoms gradually return to their hearts, the barbarians will no longer be a threat. Even if something happens to the Qin Dynasty, they will only help instead of causing internal problems."

Fusu stopped excitedly, took Li Mu's hand, and said with great joy: "What Mr. Fu said coincides with Fusu. Mr. Fu is really Fusu's confidant."

Li Mu was secretly amused. What he said was exactly what Fusu himself would do in the future.

Fusu actually did a good job, and many of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms were impressed by him, including Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncles and nephews, and they were willing to serve in the Juxian Hall he founded.

Li Mu didn't know about other worlds, but just talking about this world, if Fusu hadn't been killed by Gao Yao and Li Sijiao, the uncle and nephew might not have rebelled against Qin, let alone the scoundrel Liu Bang.

In the official history, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted in the name of Fusu.

It can be seen how much influence Fusu has on the survivors of the Six Kingdoms in this world.
