Chapter 2: Wu's First Warrior
"Qingji, kill me!"
Yaoli said in a hateful voice: "Yaoli just wants to die quickly."
Looking at Yaoli who was determined to die, Qingji just smiled calmly and said, "Yaoli, I ask myself, I have treated you well. Why did you try to assassinate me?"
"Haha, it's just a loyal thing to do. Besides, I assassinated you not for the sake of becoming an official or getting rich, but for the people of Wu to live a peaceful life and avoid the suffering of war!"
After saying these high-sounding words, Yaoli's face showed a calm expression.
Qingji didn't know whether it was true or not, but he still waved his hand and said, "Kill you, and you'll stain my sword ears!"
"I won't kill you. Yaoli, go away!"
"you……"
"Young Master!"
Seeing that Qingji was actually going to let Yaoli go, all the soldiers looked anxious, even Yaoli himself was shocked.
But Qingji smiled calmly and said, "Yao Li, I will spare your life. Let you live until then and see with your own eyes whether I, Qingji, will lead to the destruction of the people of Wu or make them live in peace and prosperity!"
"Meng Ben, prepare a boat and let Yaoli escape on his own!"
"Young Master..."
"Um?"
"promise!"
Faced with Qingji's cold and unquestionable gaze, Meng Ben immediately bowed his body and accepted the order reluctantly.
When Meng Ben went down to prepare the boat, Yao Li laughed at himself, took two steps back, picked up the short spear that had fallen on the side of the deck, and placed the spear tip against his heart!
"Yao Li, what are you doing?"
Qingji asked pretending to be confused.
Yaoli sighed and said, "Master Qingji, you are a true warrior, a rare hero in the world."
"Although I am the assassin who came to kill you, how can I not admire you, young master?"
Yao Li shook his head and said, "Now, Yao Li's assassination attempt failed, his self-torture scheme failed, and he caused the tragic death of his wife and children."
"To my son, it is disloyalty; to my wife, it is unrighteousness; to my son, it is unkindness; to my mother, it is unfilial!"
"If I leave such a disloyal, unjust, unkind and unfilial person, how can I live in this world?"
After saying this, Yao Li closed his eyes, held the short spear and suddenly stabbed it into his chest.
“Puff!”
The spear tip pierced through his armor, breaking his skin and flesh, causing a charming blood-red color to bloom on Yaoli's chest.
A sharp pain came over him, but Yao Li did not die on the spot!
"Young Master..."
At the critical moment, Qingji grabbed the spear and prevented it from piercing his heart.
"Yao Li, a real man should not die like this."
Qingji glanced at Yaoli who was standing there in shock, and said in a deep voice: "The death of a person can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai!"
"If a man wants to die, he should die gloriously, leaving behind a good reputation. Now that you have failed in your assassination, how can you be so cowardly as to commit suicide?"
Qingji's words made Yaoli feel mixed emotions and very uncomfortable.
When Yaoli came to assassinate Qingji, he had already prepared himself to die regardless of success or failure!
However, when Yaoli's assassination attempt failed, Qingji not only did not get angry and order him to be executed, but instead repeatedly tried to stop him from committing suicide.
How could this not make Yao Li feel ashamed?
"Master Qingji, your mind is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people. Yaoli is impressed!"
Yao Li looked at Qing Ji deeply and said in admiration: "If you can become the ruler of Wu, you will surely make the country strong and prosperous and benefit the people."
"Yao Li is risking the world's disapproval to assassinate you, young master. He really doesn't know what he is doing!"
"My Lord is so magnanimous that he has forgiven my sins. I am deeply grateful. If there is a future, I will repay you with my own death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Li straightened his chest, boarded a small boat and left under the escort of two soldiers.
And Qingji watched the figure gradually moving away, his eyes already a little dazed!
Why?
Because this is his first step to change the course of history!
Qingji has a secret that is unknown to the public.
He is a time traveler, a time traveler from the 21st century!
Wu Qingji was a top student who graduated from a famous military academy in the country in his previous life. He came from a family of generals and was well versed in ancient and modern times and military affairs.
During a mission, Wu Qingji died unexpectedly and inexplicably traveled back to the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago!
Wu Qingji was a person whose soul traveled across time and space, and the original owner of this body was also Qingji - Prince Qingji.
Qingji, surnamed Ji, clan Wu, but Qingji is generally called "Wu Qingji"!
This is because people of this era often address men by their clan names rather than their surnames.
The surname and clan name are separate!
Before the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, surnames were divided into two: men were called clan names and pregnant women were called surnames.
A pregnant person is a woman. The clan name is used to distinguish between men and women, noble and humble. The noble have a clan name, while the humble have a surname and a name but no clan name.
Therefore, people with surnames and clan names often have extraordinary origins!
Qingji is naturally no exception.
Qingji was a prince of the State of Wu and the son of King Liao of Wu!
He was born with supernatural powers, practiced martial arts since childhood, and was brave enough to fight against ten thousand men. According to historical records, he was able to "break bears and strangle tigers, fight leopards and fight foxes".
Qingji's bravery was known throughout the world. He became famous in his early years and was called "the bravest warrior of the Wu State"!
If nothing unexpected happens, Qingji will become the next King of Wu.
However, just when Qingji was making great achievements, Prince Guang (Helü) sent the assassin Zhuan Zhu to kill King Liao of Wu and usurp the throne.
At that time, Qingji was still leading his army to attack Chu. Upon hearing the news, he had no choice but to go north to Wei State, recruit soldiers, and train soldiers. When the time was right, he would lead his troops to attack Wu and take revenge for the throne.
You know, although Qingji was only twenty years old, he was a well-known and was also well-known in neighboring states such as Chu, Wei, Lu, and Cai.
Therefore, during this period, Qingji relied on his great reputation to recruit a lot of soldiers!
Finally, not long ago, Qingji led a large army to attack Wu.
After crossing the Yangtze River, Qingji's revenge army has been unstoppable all the way. Cities such as Zhenzi, Tong, and Wei have opened their gates to surrender and changed their flags!
This was due to the legitimacy of Qingji's justification.
Helü's regicide and usurpation of the throne were ultimately unpopular.
Therefore, Qingji's expedition against Wu was very smooth and he basically encountered no decent resistance!
However, as fate would have it, three days ago, the two Qingji's souls merged into one.
As a time traveler, Qingji does not have any golden fingers.
system?
nonexistent!
If we have to talk about the golden finger, it is Qingji's foresight.
He knows history!
When Qingji first traveled through time, he was still feeling quite nervous.
Why?
Because his opponent, his mortal enemy was King Helu of Wu, one of the famous "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period" in history!
This made Qingji feel under great pressure.
Fortunately, Helu was not yet a powerful figure at that time, and Qingji had the capital to compete with Helu!
If the original trend of history had been followed, Prince Qingji would have been assassinated by Yaoli, and this army of revenge would have collapsed and become like everyone else.
In history, Zhuan Zhu assassinated King Liao, and Yao Li assassinated Qing Ji.
Both father and son were killed by assassins, and their ends are truly heartbreaking.
Fortunately, because of the emergence of Qingji, history will eventually usher in greater changes, until it is completely unrecognizable!
