Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 169 Chapter 69 Chapter [-]
Huaiyin is a small city with a small area and a small population. The entire county is even smaller than a township today. In Ziying's opinion, Han Xin can be found without disturbing the local officials.

After all, he was not in a hurry, it was difficult to have such free time, so Ziying simply took Xia Ke and Xue Ji to wander the street.

Although the three of them have changed into ordinary clothes, but Ziying was originally a gentle and beautiful son, and Xia Ke and Xueji are also peerless daughters. Even if the combination of the three is in civilian clothes, it is difficult to restrain their aggressiveness. Zhihua.

Ziying and the two daughters found a wine shop on the street, ordered three cups of sweet wine, and took a rest while tasting.

The shop is not big, just a few small tables and a few benches.The business in the store was not very good, there were only customers at my own table, and when Ziying arrived, the bartender in the store even fell asleep in front of the fire in the hall.

"Bartender, I think the location of your store is not bad, why is the business so bleak!"

While drinking the sweet syrup, Ziying asked aloud.

"Guest officer, to tell you the truth, the business of the small shop was pretty full, but since the Qin army entered the city, it has become less and less." The bartender sighed in a low voice.

Ziying thought so too, there were a total of [-] Qin troops stationed inside and outside the city, and even under Ziying's strict military orders, no one committed any crimes in the local autumn, but no one would risk their lives to try their luck.

After all, the cruelty of the Qin army was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under the deliberate publicity of Chu State a few years ago. At this time, as long as there is surplus food in the family, they will never come out if they can stay at home.

At this time, those who wandered outside, except for some officials and dignitaries in Huaiyin, were some poor people who couldn't even eat at home and had to come out every day to beg for a living.

Although the three of Ziying and Ziying are beautiful in appearance, they don't look like noble people in terms of their clothes. Huaiyin is located on the south bank of the Huaihe River, and many merchants between the two Huaihe Rivers stop here. The bartender took the three of them as unknown. Merchants came to do business in the current situation.

Ziying took out several copper coins from his sleeve, placed them on the table, and asked aloud, "Have you ever heard of a man named Han Xin?"

The bartender's eyes were immediately glued to the copper coins, which were the round copper coins with square holes commonly used in the state of Qin. There were about a dozen of them, which was worth what he had collected in a few days.

The bartender glanced greedily at the money on Ziying's table.

"My family has lived in Huaiyin City for generations, and there are a few households with the surname Han in the north of the city, but I have never met the Han Xin you mentioned, guest officer." As he spoke, his eyes could not move away from the copper coins.

"It shouldn't be, this Huaiyin City is a big fart, how come I haven't heard of it." Ziying thought to himself.

"My lord, could it be that the person you are looking for has a nickname or something?" Xue Ji interjected from the side.

Ziying heard that it was right, this Han Xin is only a little over nine years old now, how could his name and surname fall into the ears of an adult, he continued immediately:

"The person I'm looking for is about nine years old. His parents should have died long ago. When his mother died, his family was too poor to prepare for the funeral. However, he camped in a high and open place as a grave, and threatened that in the future, thousands of families could be housed beside him. You should always carry your sword with you.”

Ziying then told later generations about Han Xin's youthful experience.

"I know, I know, so guest officer, what you're asking about is this shabby boy." When Ziying said this, the bartender immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Ziying pushed the copper coins on the table to the bartender, and the bartender immediately put the copper coins away, and said earnestly:
"This dilapidated son... no... Han Xin's grandfather was originally an official in the county. However, after his grandfather died, his father was ignorant and incompetent. He quickly ruined the little family business he had accumulated. Later, he fell into the river after getting drunk. His mother went through all kinds of hardships to bring him up, but his mother also died of illness a few years ago.

However, this Han Xin and his father are generally dying. They hang around the street with a long sword handed down from their ancestors hanging from their waists all day long, even these days when the Qin army entered the city. , maybe you can meet him. "

As soon as Ziying heard it, he was almost certain in his heart that the dilapidated boy the bartender was talking about was the Han Xin he was looking for.

Since the bartender said that Han Xin might pass by here, Ziying drank the sweet syrup and waited for him to come here with peace of mind.

This wait is half an hour.

"It shouldn't be, Han Xin should come over at this time!" The bartender said to himself.

"Guest officer, I'll go up to you and see if there's anything wrong." The bartender took Ziying's money, but did his best, calling out his own child to take care of the wine shop, and headed towards the north of the city.

After a while, the bartender ran over, panting, and said to Ziying: "Guest officer, something is wrong, Han Xin was blocked in an alley by a few sluts in the city, go over and have a look." .”

"Lead the way ahead." Hearing this, Ziying immediately got up with the two daughters, and followed the bartender to find Han Xin.

Anyway, Han Xin is just a child now, and history has changed a little because of his arrival. If something happens to Han Xin, Daqin will lose a good general.

That's right, Ziying has already regarded Han Xin as his future confinement at this time, so there is no room for loss.

Following the bartender all the way to a boring alley, I saw a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old standing in the middle of the alley with his legs crossed, a child in unlined clothes, I don't know if it was out of anger or Because of the cold, he was passing through his crotch with his face flushed.

On both sides of the alley, there were several teenagers of similar grades standing aside, laughing at Han Xin who was climbing on the ground.

"Let me just say, although this Han Xin wanders around the streets with a sword every day, he is definitely a coward. You still don't believe it, believe it now!" The boy with his legs crossed sneered at Han Xin: " Hurry up and climb again, believe it or not, I will tie you up and whip you!"

"I thought that Han Xin would have a heroic spirit when he danced his sword every day, but he turned out to be a soft bone."

A boy who was watching said disdainfully.

The rest of the teenagers, who looked like Han Xin lying on the ground, also looked contemptuous.

On the other hand, Han Xin, who was lying on the ground, had red eyes at this time. Although he was young, it was obvious that his self-esteem had been greatly insulted.

"The humiliation of the crotch!" Ziying looked at it, and immediately remembered this famous scene in history.

"It can't be such a coincidence..."

Although he sighed a bit, the coincidence of the world, Ziying was not idle, and walked forward quickly, trying to save Han Xin.

However, as soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by the bartender who came with him.

"The guest officer must not act rashly!" The bartender said eagerly: "The guest officer does not know that although this prodigal son is only the son of a butcher, his uncle is Cao Dang, the county captain of the county. This person has always been a disaster for the neighbors, and no one dares to speak out.
