The tenth day of picking up trash

Zheng Jinqi himself was very famous in the State of Zheng. His royal surname was part of his fame. He was a member of the royal family of Zheng and was closely related to the current ruler of Zheng.

Of course, this is not the main reason why he is so famous.

The main reason was that he was not content to be a member of the royal family; he had a penchant for killing.

Moreover, the methods of killing were varied and numerous.

After trying those very common methods of killing for the first time, he was very disdainful and said they were too boring. He then volunteered to manage the prison and used all kinds of punishments to deal with prisoners. Needless to say, those who were sentenced to death were killed, and later on, those who were not originally sentenced to death would also be killed for one reason or another.

Because there aren't enough death row inmates left for this guy to "play with".

During that period, the people of Zheng lived in constant fear, afraid of being caught making even the slightest mistake and sent to prison. If they were lucky enough not to fall into the hands of this person, they might be able to come out alive. If they were unlucky, let alone live, being left with a partially intact corpse to be collected by someone else was considered "good treatment."

But given his status, no one dared to actually touch him.

It was only later, when Zheng Jinqi went too far and harmed the illegitimate son of a high-ranking official who had just been brought to the capital, that he was finally transferred out of prison.

Then, he was sent to the military camp.

Zheng Jinqi took the initiative to request to go to the front line.

He could kill as many people as he wanted on the front lines, especially if they were enemies, and nobody would say a word against him. He was extremely happy there.

However, the reason why the attack on Qing Kingdom was so successful was not Zheng Jinqi's suggestion, but rather the suggestion given by the strategist in front of him.

Those who know Zheng Jinqi's personality and preferences and want to join him naturally need to understand his likes and dislikes.

This middle-aged man named Luo Liu knew a lot of strange and harmful methods. Almost every death he caused hit Zheng Jinqi right in the heart. Before long, he quickly became Zheng Jinqi's confidant and the strategist of this army.

Upon hearing that Qing Kingdom was engaged in a fierce battle with Ling Kingdom, Luo Liu immediately suggested that Zheng Jinqi seize the opportunity to also attack Qing Kingdom.

The plague virus was something that Luo Liu had concocted and presented.

Zheng Jinqi was quickly tempted by such a powerful weapon.

After several discussions, they set their sights on Guanshi County and then quickly surrounded it.

After surrounding the area, they didn't put up a strong fight. They sent out some elite soldiers when they raided the granary earlier. In the days that followed, they said they were there to fight, but for Zheng Jinqi, it was more like a trip for sightseeing.

At most, more people died on this trip.

For Zheng Jinqi, it was no big deal at all.

Then he waited and waited, and even thought about what new tricks he would use to kill the people after Guanshi County opened the city gates and surrendered.

He even "mercifully" hoped that not too many people inside would die from the plague.

...After all, what if most of the people die and I can't have enough fun?

But unexpectedly, despite the lack of food and the plague, Guanshi County stubbornly refused to surrender!

Zheng Jinqi was both annoyed and angry.

If he had been patient enough to wait before, the news he received today made him feel uneasy.

They say the plague is over?!

Upon hearing this, strategist Luo Liu immediately retorted, "Impossible!"

He knew how dangerous the plague he had created was. He hadn't been able to find an antidote yet. If he hadn't somehow managed to avoid contracting the disease, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape from that place.

That area is still deserted and desolate.

Even if Guanshi County had that Sun family, it would be impossible for them to produce an antidote in such a short time!

"Then tell me, why are those people on the city wall getting better and better in spirit?" Zheng Jinqi didn't want to believe it either. Besides, "Shouldn't they have run out of food long ago? How come they don't look like they're starving to death at all!"

Last night's routine siege saw the opposing team throwing huge rocks down with great enthusiasm, showing no signs of having gone without food for days.

"Could there be any stored grain inside?" Luo Liu was also very puzzled by this.

Zheng Jinqi retorted with absolute certainty: "My Zheng family's elite guards would never make such a mistake. If they said that only a small amount was left after the fire, they would never give them an extra day!"

But if that's the case, where exactly is the problem?

During this period, the entire Guanshi County was completely surrounded, making it impossible to transport food through any secret passages. The only unexpected event was the small team that broke through from the outside a few days ago.

However, the team had fewer than fifty people in total, and even if each person carried food, it would still not be enough to feed the entire county.

Moreover, those who surrounded them at the time said they could see clearly that those people didn't even have a large bag on them.

So the grain wasn't delivered by them.

So what's going on here?

The two were completely baffled.

However, the facts are clear: their plans are not working, and they need to find another way.

"In that case, let's launch a full-scale attack." Zheng Jinqi's eyes darkened. "Having been ravaged by the plague, I don't know how much strength they have left to resist my 100,000-strong army's all-out attack!"

"The General is right," Luo Liu replied. "At this moment, perhaps only a deity descending to earth can save these doomed fools!"

Unfortunately, there are no real gods in this world.

As they talked, they quickly decided to launch a full-scale attack that very night.

The two men, who were saying this, had no idea that at this moment, there really was a "deity" in Guanshi County, and this "deity" was now strolling over to the armory of the Sheng family army.

Najitong followed the planned route, picking up trash along the way from the plague-stricken area.

Once outside the plague zone, there was much less trash on the streets, and he was able to move much faster.

As he walked, he arrived at the place where the weapons were stored.

This is no coincidence.

It's important to know that a trash can robot is equipped with a trash sensor. This means that its system will sort the trash according to which direction it's in.

In interstellar space, this feature, combined with monitoring systems in various locations and ubiquitous network-connected mechanical devices, allows the trash cans to pinpoint the exact location of the trash.

In other dimensions, without the necessary supporting facilities, the small robot is no longer able to accurately pinpoint the location of trash and plan the optimal route based on the amount of trash in each location.

However, it's definitely possible to sense at least one direction.

So he was led all the way to the armory.

After all, no household in the entire prefecture had as much stuff as the army's warehouse.

Even if the various stockpiles of those aristocratic families and wealthy merchants could barely compare, their exquisiteness and the dilapidated state of their "junk" could not match that of the army's warehouse.

Even with the soldiers' maintenance, these weapons were severely worn out from various training sessions and battles.

Metal weapons were fine, but leather armor and even grass armor were extremely worn out.

Moreover, don't forget that the little robot comes from interstellar space; in its database, these weapons and armor are far outdated.

Except for items that are highly commemorative or technically sophisticated and representative of their era, which can be exhibited in their original state in museums, other metals, leather, and grass fall under the category of "recycling".

With such a large amount of "work content," how could it not attract him?

When General Sheng Lu and his entourage arrived, the little robot had already been modified into a large sword.

The blacksmiths next to the armory were so shocked that they were still standing there, frozen in place.

The newly arrived general and his entourage were instantly captivated by the large sword, which gleamed so brightly that they couldn't pull it off.
