The two spoke normally, but their language was not from the Southern Yue Kingdom.
Instead, it was the Japanese language that Gu Lili was familiar with!
Gu Lili unconsciously squeezed the bun in her hand so hard that it flattened, startling Chang'an and Li Ershu who were standing nearby.
Chang'an asked with concern, "Lili, has something happened?"
Gu Lili had already turned her gaze away while she was making the buns.
However, Chang'an's intuition told him that Gu Lili's unusual behavior must be because of the two men next door.
However, Chang'an also heard the two whispering, although he didn't understand a single word. But the two didn't look in his direction, so they probably weren't talking about them.
Moreover, given the situation just now, the two of them probably wouldn't have dared to say anything unpleasant in front of the three of them.
Although they were speaking their local dialect, there's no guarantee that some people might be able to understand them.
Gu Lili calmed herself down and said with a slight smile, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about things at home."
Gu Lili continued eating the flattened bun, not wanting to alert the enemy.
Instead, they wanted to listen carefully to what the two of them were saying.
Although Chang'an still felt that Gu Lili had something on her mind, she was unwilling to talk about it, so Gu Lili didn't press her for details.
After finishing the steamed buns, Gu Lili washed her hands, drank some water, and then leaned against the locust tree, closing her eyes and pretending to rest.
Chang'an and Li Ershu originally planned to continue their journey after eating, and Gu Lili could rest in the carriage if she wanted to.
But seeing that Gu Lili had closed her eyes, the two of them didn't say anything more.
Gu Lili was, after all, a girl, and such a long and bumpy journey was indeed quite uncomfortable for her.
It's not too late to rest a bit before continuing.
So, the two of them followed Gu Lili's example and sat on either side of her in a protective manner.
In case of any unexpected events, the two of them can protect Gu Lili immediately.
Gu Lili could hear the conversation between Zhen Dejian and Wu Qishi.
"Lord Yamamoto, the food in Nanyue Kingdom is truly delicious!" Wu Qishi exclaimed while eating the dark-colored buns.
The two ate the blackened buns with great relish, not even noticing the black ash smeared on their faces.
Zhen Dejian swallowed the last bun in one gulp and said with a wicked grin, "If Lord Inoue likes it, when we return to Fusang, we can capture a few women from Nanyue Kingdom and take them back with us!"
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and both grinned lewdly.
If we capture these women from the Southern Yue Kingdom, they can not only cook for them, but also reproduce for them.
The two had been in the Southern Yue Kingdom for several months and had seen many women there.
In comparison, the women of the Southern Yue Kingdom are even more superior.
The two seemed to realize that their laughter was too loud, and quickly looked towards the roots of the locust tree.
Seeing that Gu Lili and the other two were pretending to sleep, the two felt a little relieved.
Gu Lili was clenching her fists in annoyance. Sure enough, hateful people are hateful no matter what dynasty they come from.
Gu Lili's thoughts were not directed at these two individuals, but at the entire nation behind them!
The Fusang they were referring to is none other than the Wa (Japan) of later times!
The languages are all the same, so how could they be wrong!
Gu Lili had studied this language when she was in college, so she could hear it clearly.
As the two talked, old grievances about their family and country welled up in Gu Lili's heart.
Although Gu Lili grew up under the red flag in her previous life and did not suffer much hardship or experience war, she understood a principle from a young age.
The reason she was able to have enough to eat and wear from a young age was because of the sacrifices of countless predecessors.
Therefore, at this moment, Gu Lili had a crazy idea in her mind.
Although the Kingdom of Nanyue has never appeared in historical records, Fusang is a real historical site.
If Gu Lili has now razed Fusang to the ground, then wouldn't the same mistakes be avoided in the future?
The thought appeared in my mind and I could no longer suppress it.
However, all of this is just Gu Lili's wishful thinking. If she wanted to implement it, she definitely couldn't do it alone.
"We should be able to return to China in a few more months," Zhen Dejian sighed softly.
The Emperor ordered the two of them to infiltrate the Southern Yue Kingdom, and several months have passed since then.
The two of them still missed their hometown very much.
Wu Qishi took a bite of his steamed bun and said, "I see that stuff growing all over the rice paddies of Nanyue Kingdom. I reckon that within two years, Nanyue Kingdom won't be able to produce any rice anymore. At that time, Nanyue Kingdom's national strength will suffer. Hehehe..."
Wu Qishi's intended words turned into a lewd laugh.
“Yes! Back then, we would have been heroes who made great contributions. Once the Emperor conquers the Southern Yue Kingdom, the women of the Southern Yue Kingdom would be ours to enjoy!” Zhen Dejian chimed in.
His tiny, beady eyes gleamed with a lewd light.
Gu Lili suddenly opened her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Chang'an, can you handle those two by yourself?"
If Gu Lili's guess was correct, the thing they were putting into the rice paddies was probably an apple snail.
It's true, some people are like that; they're rotten from the very beginning.
That's absolutely awful.
They actually came up with such a wicked method to deal with the Southern Yue Kingdom.
If Gu Lili hadn't come up with a solution, things probably would have turned out exactly as the two of them said.
The golden apple snails multiplied rapidly, causing a complete crop failure in the rice paddies of the Southern Yue Kingdom.
If ordinary people have no rice or grain, how can they pay their taxes?
Without taxes, how can the Southern Yue Kingdom support its border soldiers?
At that time, the entire Nanyue Kingdom will be starving, and the Fusang Kingdom is thinking of taking over Nanyue Kingdom without bloodshed.
How insidious!
"able!"
Although Chang'an didn't know why Gu Lili suddenly wanted to subdue the two people, he still answered firmly.
Gu Lili must have her reasons for doing this.
"Fine, then tie these two up in a bit!" Gu Lili said coldly.
In a moment, I will definitely send these two people to the yamen.
The two of them actually thought about going back to claim credit; they probably came alive but didn't make it back.
"I'll help too!" Li Ershu said in a low voice from the side.
During the few days I spent at Gu Lili's house, I practiced martial arts with Chang'an every night, which was a good opportunity to test the waters with these two.
Chang'an and Li Ershu exchanged a glance, then got up and walked toward the two men.
Gu Lili also quietly gripped the mini tranquilizer gun in her hand, just in case.
Zhen Dejian and Wu Qishi were still imagining wonderful things for the future when they were suddenly startled by the shadow that loomed over them.
The two were so engrossed in their daydream that they didn't even notice when Gu Lili and the other two walked right up to them.
Moreover, the two were very arrogant, believing that no one could understand their language, which is why they acted so recklessly.
