Jiang Ruo'ang's expression remained unchanged, but there was a strange and gloomy look in his eyes.

He looked at Mutar in front of him and said softly: "What do you know?"

Mutar didn't say anything, just smiled indifferently: "What do you know? I don't know anything."

"I just know that we Yi people want to live, and the best way to live is to stand with the governor."

"This world belongs to Da Qin after all."

"The millions of Great Qin cavalry are already an unstoppable beast, let alone one more Chen Fengchang now?"

"Do you think there is still hope?"

"Instead of living in a hopeless hell, suffering and watching your enemies become stronger day by day, it is better to get out of this hopeless hell and find another helper."

"Left and right, there is no hope for you."

"Is not it?"

After Mutar said this, he stood up.

He looked at Jiang Ruo'ang condescendingly, and then said: "Chief Jiang should think about it carefully and see which option is most beneficial."

After finishing speaking, Mutar turned around and walked outside.

Before he could leave the room, Jiang Ruoang let out a long sigh.

"what do you want?"

Mutar did not look back, but said calmly: "What do I want?"

"As I said just now, I just want the people of the Yi tribe to live well."

"But now, someone wants us dead."

"Then I can only stand up and resist."

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Jiang Ruo'ang sitting there alone.

After a long pause, Jiang Ruoang sighed.

He turned around and walked into the ancestral hall, and then walked into a dark room somewhere in the ancestral hall.

There are plaques lined up in the darkroom. These are the ancestors of the Jiang family.

The first one is Mr. Jiang Ziya.

His ancestor is Jiang Ziya!

They were the original masters of the Qi State, but they were later replaced by the Tian family and usurped the throne of the Qi State.

Jiang Ruoang placed a stick of incense in front of the plaque, his expression solemn and solemn.

"Ancestor, now that the critical moment has come, how should the descendants choose?"

The smoke turned into a wisp of blue snake-gray bird and flew up into the sky, lingering for a long time.

In a dark mine

Several Lai Yi people and some people wearing rags were standing there. They had sallow faces and thin muscles, and they looked very weak.

They are dying.

One of the young men had a gloomy face. He looked at the people working in the distance and gritted his teeth.

"Are we going to continue?"

"It's better to destroy this mine!"

"Even if he dies, I will never let that beast have an easy time!"

The rest of the people looked at him with submission in their eyes. No matter what he said, they would support him.

Under such gaze, the man felt a little moved in his heart.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll wait for half a month."

"We can still last half a month."

"If Mutar hasn't found a way to save us, he will have no choice but to die with this thief!"

Governor's Palace

Chen Ke was sitting in the room with a little thought in his eyes.

He was thinking about spring plowing and what happened after spring plowing.

Chen Ke originally prepared more time to clean up the debris in Penglaizhou, but now it seems that the situation in Penglaizhou is not that complicated.

Huo Shi is a capable person, and he handles most things in Linzi County very well.

As for Jiang Ruo'ang in Jiaodong County, he doesn't seem to be a good guy, but he seems to have other hidden agendas, as if he is plotting something.

What’s even more coincidental is that Chen Ke still remembers another thing——

The State of Qi originally belonged to Jiang Ziya and his descendants.

Two people with the same surname Jiang are both in the hometown of Qi. Is it such a coincidence?

The rest are some local Lai Yi people.

Penglaizhou is a place where the Lai Yi people and the Central Plains people of China live together. Here the two ethnic groups are mixed together.

This is due to the struggle between princes for hegemony a hundred years ago.

The process of the princes competing for hegemony objectively promoted national integration and local unification, and this unification was the integration of various so-called "barbarians" with the Chinese.

For example, the Lai Yi, Beidi, Nanman, Xirong, and Dongyi.

Except for the Central Plains, they seem to be all barbarians.

Originally, in Chen Ke's view, the Dongyi people on Penglai Island, that is, the Laiyi people, were very difficult to get along with.

But now it seems that it is not that difficult.

Because Wang Kande has forced the Yi people into a desperate situation in the past ten years or so.

And this desperate situation has continuously lowered the bottom line of the Laiyi people.

Thinking of this, Chen Ke even wanted to laugh a little.

Wang Kande was smart all his life, but in the end he was trapped in a cocoon.

Before he came, he had already made himself almost dead.

Of course, if it weren't for everything Chen Ke did in Xianyang City, as well as the persecution of Confucianism and the legacy of the Six Kingdoms, and finally the strangulation of Xiang Yu and others, what Wang Kande did would still be useful.

This is called "moving one hair and moving the whole body".

The changes made by Chen Ke were like pushing the first domino and causing a series of changes.

"yawn."

Chen Ke yawned. The situation was basically clear now. All he needed was to find a perfect and impeccable reason to kill Wang Kande.

And this is also very simple.

There are existing reasons.

What he needs to prepare now is what will happen after killing Wang Kande.

Chen Ke took out the book in his sleeve. This was something Zuo Ge had given him before he came. He said it recorded some of Mozi's inventions, mechanisms, etc.

He stood up and prepared to look for people from the Gongshu clan and the Mo family.

He had a brand new idea.

Just as he was about to go out, a boy came over, looking in a hurry.

"Report to the governor, Jiang Ruo'ang, the governor of Jiaodong County, to ask for an audience."

Jiang Joao?

Chen Ke raised his eyebrows. He had just thought about him, but now he appeared?

This guy just can't help but think about it.

"Let him in."

After a moment, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and a figure appeared, it was Jiang Joao.

After Jiang Ruoang walked into the courtyard, the first thing he saw was Chen Ke sitting on a deck chair and lying on his hands.

Wearing a spring shirt, he showed a bit of grace, and he looked cool and comfortable, not like a governor of a state, but more like a young man.

However, Jiang Ruoang did not dare to take this lightly.

"The guilty minister Jiang Ruoang has met the governor."

Chen Ke smiled slightly: "Guilty minister?"
