The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

"kill!"

Dian Wei charged at the bandits with a horse and a halberd, his momentum was that of a tiger chasing a tiger, his voice was like thunder, startling the two sides who were fighting.

"Where is the wild man who dares to spoil our good deed of Liangshan Juyi Hall!"

A bearded bandit leader cursed angrily, turned his horse's head, and swung an iron ax to meet Dian Wei. He boasted of his high martial arts skills, and had practiced martial arts all year round in mountain trails.

Unfortunately, in the face of Dian Wei's charge, he was cut off in two moves.

"Second leader is dead?" The bandits immediately panicked, and then Dian Wei, Li Yuanfang, and Yang Youji rushed over one after another, directly turning the situation around.

The guards of the convoy are always guarding the two carriages, protecting the people in the carriages.

Xiao Rui, Zhang Liang, and Guo Jia approached on horseback, observed closely, and discovered that these guards were not simple.

"Young master, these guards are obviously from the army, very similar to our Great Xia's Forbidden Army. Could it be that they are also from the Zhao Kingdom's Forbidden Army? It seems that we not only saved a big family, but also a prominent person." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Xiao Rui nodded. There was no family emblem or other marks on the other party's carriage, so he couldn't tell his identity, but if he could be protected by the imperial army, could he be an ordinary person?

The bandit was quickly wiped out.

The three of Li Yuanfang put away their weapons and retreated behind Xiao Rui.

A leader of the guards in the convoy stepped forward and bowed his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your generosity, I am very grateful!"

Xiao Rui didn't speak, but A'Zhu snorted coldly and said, "Is this how you are grateful? The people in the carriage don't know how to thank them in person?"

The leader of the guard smiled awkwardly, looked back at the carriage and said: "My old lady is inconvenient, so..."

"Wei Xiao!"

At this moment, an elderly woman's voice was heard in the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, and an old woman came out.

The old woman was in her sixties or seventies, with silvery white hair. Although her face was already wrinkled, she was dignified, and she must have been a lady when she was young.

"Thank you, old man, for your help, thank you very much." The old woman smiled.

Xiao Rui got off his horse, cupped his hands and said: "When the road is uneven, we draw our swords to help, and even if we don't take action, these bandits are no match for the old lady's guards, so we don't need to thank you."

Seeing that the seven of Xiao Rui were extraordinary, the old woman was curious, and asked: "Young master, I would like to ask, where are you going on this trip?"

Xiao Rui said: "I was invited by a friend to go west to the imperial capital."

"Coincidentally, the destination is the same as the old one." The old woman said kindly.

Xiao Rui pretended to sigh, and said: "How many people who go west are not going to the imperial capital?"

The old man was silent, and then he glanced at the guard leader behind him. He brought a small box, and when he opened it, it was full of silver.

The old woman said: "These entanglements are as a thank you gift, please accept them."

"Okay!" Xiao Rui didn't delay, and with a wave of his hand, Li Yuanfang put away the money.

Xiao Rui bowed his hands and said goodbye: "Thank you for your generosity, old lady, then let's go ahead and say goodbye!"

After all, Xiao Rui rode away with the six of them.

Watching Xiao Rui and the others leave, the leader of the guard stepped forward and said, "Old lady, this group of people has a lot of history. Is it a deliberate design to help you this time?"

The old woman shook her head and said: "I am about to go to the ground, what is there to count? I live comfortably in my hometown. Even if Xia Guo's army comes over, they can't kill me. Why go to the imperial capital?" Wading in the muddy water made it difficult for Qian'er, and the situation of His Royal Highness is not very good now."

Hearing that His Royal Highness was mentioned, the leader of the guards did not dare to say more.

"Hurry up." The old woman sighed, got up and returned to the carriage.

Xiao Rui earned 30 points of advent points, so he didn't investigate the identity of the old lady. If the system really has a conspiracy, I believe there will be communication in the future.

A group of people passed through Lingshan County and then entered Qishui County.

After passing Qishui County and crossing the Qijiang River, it is Qiao County. As long as he entered Qiao County, he was only two or three days away from Zhao Guohuang.

Three days later, a group of people came to Qijiang.

When Xiao Rui saw Qi Jiang for the first time, he was immediately attracted by the vastness of Qi Jiang. The width of the river was several miles, and the waves of the river were calm, like a mirror.

Different from the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in Daxia, the Qijiang River is gentle, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace. It does not have the boundless falling trees of the Yangtze River, and the heroic rush of the endless Yangtze River. There is also no overbearing of the Yellow River, which is full of long winds and high waves, and the flying sun is cold.

Qijiang is more like a lake, reflecting mountains and floating water to the crowd, and there is no mountain, no water, and nature to be engrossed in.

However, this Qijiang River originated from the icebergs and snow fields in the north and converged into a large river spanning thousands of miles. Its scale should not be underestimated.

Zhang Liang was also impressed by the scenery of Qijiang, and said: "Your Highness, the territory of Qishui County is flat, so when Qijiang enters here, it forms such a quiet landscape of water and mountains. But in other counties passing by, Qijiang The turbulence of the Yangtze River is not inferior to that of the Yangtze River in our Great Xia, and it is even worse, with nine bends and eighteen bends. Therefore, this section of the river in Qishui County is the most favorable location for crossing the river. Here we cross the river by boat. We walked north along the river for more than a hundred miles. On the west side of the river, there is one of the three largest naval forces in Zhao State, and it is also the largest naval force, the Qijiang Battalion! There are more than 50,000 naval forces. Hundreds of large and small warships."

"So, even if Marquis Chang Sheng leads his troops to Qijiang, we don't have the means of ferrying, and Zhao Jun still has the Qijiang battalion, so we won't be able to cross the river at all."

Guo Jia added: "Even if we urgently build ships, how can a group of dry ducks on land be the opponent of the navy? So our soldiers and horses in Daxia can only stop here. When Qin State destroys Zhao State, we will use Qi Rule the east and west of the river. As for the westward expedition in the future, we must form our own navy on the east bank of the Qijiang River."

Xiao Rui nodded, and looked at Qi Jiang again.

This river blocked Da Xia's pace, but only temporarily.

Afterwards, the seven people found the pier and crossed the river by boat.

There are many bandits in Lingshan and water bandits in Qijiang River, but water bandits often rob merchant ships, boats like crossing rivers rarely visit, and the seven of Xiao Rui didn't encounter any water bandits.

After crossing the Qijiang River, continue westward, and finally entered the territory of Qiao County.

When I came to Qiao County, I felt that the atmosphere was different.

When I came to the county town of Qiao County, I saw that there was no preparation for war in the city. As usual, there was no tension at all about the imminent battle. It seemed that Xia Jun would not be able to cross the Qi River, so the people in Qiao County could live in peace.

Coupled with the influx of fleeing people into Qiao County, this already prosperous county was even more crowded. The seven of Xiao Rui found several inns, but none of them had spare rooms. It's been such a miserable mess here.

Since you can't find the inn, you can only work around it.

Xiao Rui reluctantly took Ah Zhu and the others to the most famous fireworks place in Qiao County, Menglou. I believe there are spare rooms for them to live in.

A group of seven people came to Menglou, and Mr. Gui enthusiastically confessed.

"Seven Lords, please come inside! Is it in the lobby or the private room? Is there a girl you like?" Mr. Gui asked.

Li Yuanfang asked: "Are there seven vacant rooms? We pass by here and leave after a night's rest!"

Mr. Gui let out a hey, he has seen some people who come here to drink flowers and wine and play games, but not those who just come here to sleep.

"Masters, we don't provide dry sleep here." Mr. Gui said with a smile.

dry sleep?

It really is a custom in a place, this is the first time Xiao Rui heard such a daydream word. In Daxia, they all said that they would sleep plain, take a plain bath, etc. They really learned wherever they went.

"How to sleep dry?" A'Zhu was quite curious and couldn't help asking.

Turtle was startled, looked at A Zhu who was disguised as a man in surprise, and laughed again. Tonight is really exciting, not only did I meet the dry sleeper, but also brought a girl to visit the flower building, could it be that the atmosphere here is good?

Xiao Rui was afraid of spoiling Ah Zhu, so he hurriedly asked Li Yuanfang to take out the money, and said: "Choose your best girl and serve my five friends well. Let's forget about the two of us, find two rooms for us alone, can it be done?" ?”

"No problem, no problem!" Gui Gong took the money, immediately beamed with joy, and sent the seven of them up to the third floor.

Xiao Rui and A'Zhu chose a corner room, Zhang Liang and the others lived in their own room, and not long after, a beautiful girl was sent into their room. Although Zhang Liang and Guo Jia are brilliant counselors, they are also men, and men have needs.

As their leaders, they have the obligation and responsibility to let them release their pressure. It's just pity for Xiao Rui himself, he is so clean and self-confident, so restrained himself, he is worthy of the lady at home.

This is the ethics of being a man.

I heard that Menglou is the most famous flower building in Qiao County, but why is Qiao County called Qiao County? It is because it is said that a long time ago, there were two peerless beauties, Qiao and Qiao, who were born and raised here, and later married into the Zhao Palace as noble concubines, so as time passed, this place was called Qiao County.

There are twelve golden flowers in the Dream Tower, and it is said that each of them is a great beauty. If anyone has the ability to let them stay overnight, it must be a good story. Xiao Rui has many abilities, so he must be one of them!

Xiao Rui ordered good wine and food, so he sipped alone, listening to the noises of the men and women outside the house, probably couldn't calm down before midnight, and couldn't sleep peacefully.

Of course, this is not terrible, and terrible things don't stop from time to time.

Xiao Rui suddenly regretted that he couldn't find a place to sleep and stayed in the wilderness overnight. It's not that he hasn't slept before, so why did he come here!

While Xiao Rui was trying to drink away his worries, there was a bang... the door was kicked open.

A young man entered the door yelling, and yelled, "Young Master, I want to see which man dares to reveal the signboard! I don't want to live anymore!"

Xiao Rui was in a bad mood and was disturbed again, so he threw the jug directly and hit the young man on the forehead.

In an instant, blood gushed out from the young man's forehead.

"Ah... who are you? How dare you sneak attack me! Hit me!" The young man sat on the ground and wailed. Immediately behind him, four guards rushed in, one of them was big and three rough, and they rushed towards Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui kicked the two of them flying first, then pulled out the Akasaka Sword and cut off the ears of the other two.

Dian Wei from the next door has already rushed over, shouting: "Who dares to hurt my young master!"

Seeing the young man with blood on his forehead, he picked him up and threw him down from the third floor.

"Master, are you alright!" Dian Wei asked with concern as he ran over.

Of course Xiao Rui is fine, when he saw the red lips on Dian Wei's face, he said with emotion: "I'm fine, I just disturbed your elegant mood."

Dian Wei rubbed the back of his head and laughed.

Afterwards, Li Yuanfang and Zhang Liang also rushed over, and they were relieved to see that Xiao Rui was safe and sound. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen while staying in the room.

The young man who was thrown downstairs fell on the table, so he was not killed, but the whole dream building was in chaos.

Mr. Gui ran up with a few guards, and said angrily, "Do you know who you beat? That's the nephew of the magistrate. The seven of you are in trouble. Big trouble."

Xiao Rui ignored the tortoise's yelling, because at this moment, he found that the system came to task again.

"New task: Although he is the prince of Xia, but benefiting the people is what a decent person should do. Please help the people of Qiao County to eliminate the malignant prefect. The task is completed, and the descending value is +20."

Tumor prefect? Such a vicious name, but it's a pity that he doesn't know the power of the house-robbing little maniac!

Xiao Rui made a signal, and Li Yuanfang understood and caught Mr. Gui. The guard behind him didn't dare to move, because Dian Wei and Yang Youji were too fierce and stopped them.

"I heard that your sheriff is a big cancer? Come on, tell me about it!" Xiao Rui asked.

Gui Gong shook his head in fright, and said, "Even if you beat me to death, I can't talk nonsense!"

Xiao Rui picked up the Chixiao sword, gestured to his crotch, and said, "Why don't you be a tortoise, and be a father-in-law, how about it?"

"Whatever the hero wants to ask, the villain will know everything!" The turtle clamped his legs and shouted immediately.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Tell me the story of the cancer sheriff in Qiao County."

"Okay! Speaking of the governor of Qiao County, there are so many stories..."

...

It turns out that the king's sheriff is not only the sheriff, but also the uncle of the current state of Zhao. His sister is the current queen, and his nephew is the prince!

As for the evil deeds, relying on such a strong relationship, this uncle of the country regards Qiao County as his back garden, killing, burning, looting and committing all kinds of crimes, which is completely the role of the local emperor. In Qiao County, the words of this uncle of the country are more effective than the emperor's edict.

At this moment, Xiao Rui became more interested.

Calculating the relationship, I and this uncle Zhao Guoguo are still enemies, no wonder the system will issue tasks, how can I be worthy of this trip to Zhao Guo if I don't kill him?
