Chapter 354: Bearing the King’s Heart

Although he still remembers the criticism of the Qin Dynasty in the history books of later generations: gathering all the soldiers from the world and gathering them in Xianyang, selling them and casting them into twelve golden figures to weaken the people of the world.

But he knew better that it was just a matter of looking at it and not taking it seriously. It was too subjective.

Is it only the Qin Dynasty that controls civilian weapons?
All dynasties are no exception!

With a sharp blade in his heart, he will kill himself.

Do you really think that if everyone in the common people carries a sword and says they are brave and fight ruthlessly, the world will be at peace?
What's more, Da Qin is in such a special situation?
If you don't accept the soldiers of the world, then you are really in trouble!

In fact, the Qin Dynasty's prohibition on the private possession of weapons among the people was not as exaggerated as Jia Yi wrote. It only prohibited the private possession of some powerful and destructive weapons such as bows and crossbows.

Otherwise, how would Han Xin be able to carry a long sword and swagger through the city every day?

According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he had been reported, arrested, and thrown into Lishan Mountain to build a tomb.

Moreover, when the Qin Dynasty recruits soldiers, they need to prepare armor and weapons themselves. If this is really prohibited, where will they prepare?

Seeing that Zhao Ying seemed to be able to listen, Fan Zeng was a little surprised, and his tone subconsciously became more sincere.

"Although there are many swamps in the Chu land, how can ordinary people expect it? Not to mention whether they can make a living by fishing, just fishing is already as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary people."

Fan Zeng couldn't help but sigh slightly as he spoke.

"The boats are small and the fishing nets are worn out. Sometimes we may not be able to catch a few fish all day long - even if we can catch them, how many people can afford to eat..."

Zhao Ying looked at the dilapidated Jiangling City, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

The situation Da Qin faced was more difficult than he imagined.

Whether you want to solve the hardships of the people in Chu land or eliminate the hatred in the hearts of the people in Chu land, it is not an easy task.

Especially the latter, it is basically difficult to achieve without more than two generations of time.

Seeing Zhao Ying's thoughtful expression, Fan Zeng stopped talking and continued to wander around the city with Zhao Ying.With the lessons learned several times before, Zhao Ying no longer blindly seeks out people to communicate with, he just uses his eyes to see and his ears to listen.

At noon, I was about to find a roadside stall and simply fill my stomach.

Suddenly, I heard a surprised voice coming from the roadside.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson——"

Zhao Ying looked back with some surprise, and saw that his neck was slender, and he jumped out of a slightly dilapidated carriage with a look of joy, and saluted Zhao Ying from a distance. .

"I didn't expect you to come so quickly! I got the news and came here, and was about to find you in the camp, but I didn't expect you to be here!"

Zhao Ying was also very happy when he saw Jing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"I really wanted someone to find a way to contact you, but I didn't expect to meet you here..."

The two people exchanged pleasantries on the street.

Zhao Ying saw many people looking this way and couldn't help but frown slightly.Just as he was about to speak, he changed places and Jing already said slightly apologetically.

"Your Highness, this is not the place to talk - Wei Chen rented a yard near here a few days ago, and please move here..."

Zhao Ying nodded.

He was so surprised that he stopped taking the car and waved to the driver to leave.

Surprised that it was nearby, it was really nearby. After walking less than two or three miles, the group saw a fairly quiet-looking courtyard in the bluestone alley.

"The people here are extremely xenophobic, especially towards us Qin people, and they are quite hostile. In addition, His Highness has told us that the matter should not be made public. It is quite inconvenient to live outside, so I rented a room here..."

Although Zhao Ying didn't ask, Jing still explained it very consciously.

After letting Zhao Ying and others in, he personally poured tea for Zhao Ying and others, and then said respectfully.

"After receiving His Highness's order, I put down the work at hand and rushed here. After several days of inquiries and visits, I did find a clan member of Your Highness's maternal grandparents who were scattered abroad..."

Having said this, he secretly glanced at Zhao Ying, whose expression changed slightly, and then glanced at Fan Zeng, Xiao Yaosheng and others sitting next to Zhao Ying, but he hesitated to speak.

Zhao Ying knew what he was worried about and waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter, just say so..."

Surprised, he took another look at it without any trace, and the few people who were following his eldest grandson said respectfully.

"This person is the grandson of the late King Huai, Xiong Huai, whose name is Xiong Xin. Now he is working under the pseudonym Huai Neng, and is shepherding sheep near Yingxu..."

Bear heart!

His grandma was from the royal family of the Chu Kingdom. He had already expected that he might find someone from the former Chu royal family, but he never expected that he would find Xiong Xintou!

Xiong Xin is the King Huai of Chu who was revered by Xiang Yu as the Righteous Emperor in history.

The spiritual leader of the anti-Qin army.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying looked back at Fan Zeng, who looked a little complicated. Xiang Yu had just adopted the opinion of the man next to him.

He personally sent people to find Xiong Huai, the king of Chu Huai, and his grandson Xiong Xin, and established him as king of Chu Huai.

I hope to use King Huai of Chu, a super IP who can arouse the pity of the people of Chu and the hatred of Da Qin, to build up my own team.

The subsequent development was just as Fan Zeng expected. After supporting King Huai, the whole world responded.

"I don't know how to deal with it - without His Highness's order, I dare not act rashly, so I can only let people keep an eye on him secretly..."

After Jing said that, he lowered his head and waited for Zhao Ying's instructions.

There is no way, Xiong Xin's identity is too sensitive.

I don’t know if it was because King Huai of Chu died in Qin State. During the process of Qin Dynasty unifying the world, it was in Chu that it encountered the most fierce resistance.

After the King of Chu was captured, Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, occupied Wuyue and relied on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to continue to raise the banner of resistance to the Qin Dynasty. Later, under the attack of the old general Meng Wu, he was defeated and committed suicide!

The battle has reached this level, and both sides have actually shown real fire.

Enough people have died.

There is no record in history of what happened to the King of Chu after he was captured while carrying the cud, but I guess it didn't end well.At least, after Zhao Ying traveled through time, this person was already gone.

Not only him, but also the entire direct lineage of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom was gone.

And Xiong Xin, the King Huai of Chu in later generations, was the biggest fish that slipped through the net.

I helped His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, find relatives from the eldest son's wife's natal family, and found such a troublesome guy. I was surprised and helpless.

Zhao Ying looked at Jing who looked a little uneasy, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.However, this idea is not yet mature and is not suitable to be discussed on this occasion.He nodded approvingly.

"Very good! This matter was handled very well..."

Having said this, he pondered for a moment.

"Your Majesty is merciful. He treats all the sons of the palaces of the Six Kingdoms kindly. Even if they are of collateral blood, he cannot bear to let them live outside, let alone conceive a prince..."

Zhao Ying looked calmly at Jing, who was standing with hands hanging down.

"I passed by this place on Grandma's orders to pay homage to the Wai Weng clan. It is naturally a good thing to have him by my side..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying said calmly.

"After lunch, please take me over to have a look..." Seeing that Zhao Ying had made a decision, he was shocked and immediately ordered his servants to prepare wine and food.

Although he has a kitchen here, he does not hire a cook. He usually eats out. Now that Zhao Ying and others have arrived, he can only apologize and let his servants go out to buy.

Fortunately, Zhao Ying doesn't care about these daily meals.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Ying asked Jing and others carefully about their search for Xiong Xin. Only then did he realize that their search for Xiong Xin was full of coincidences.

Because before this, Jing had already prepared to develop shops here and lay out an intelligence network, so with the arrival of the caravan, some manpower had been arranged here.

After receiving Zhao Ying's order, he asked people to conduct a secret investigation near the ruins of Ying Capital.

Then, an anomaly was quickly discovered.

After all, Xiong Xin was a descendant of the King of Chu and the grandson of King Huai. Before that, he had always been well-dressed and well-fed, and received the top education in the Chu Kingdom.

Even if his country is ruined and his family is destroyed, he is so destitute that he has to herd sheep by himself on the ruins of his palace, and deliberately speaks "vulgar" words loudly every day, but compared with those farmers who have been soaked in bitter water since childhood, he is still like a man in the dark. fireflies.

After all, the books he had read and the education he had received had long been engraved in his bones and became an upbringing that he could not shake off.

It's hard to pretend to be elegant, but it's actually quite difficult to pretend to be vulgar.

Although Xiong Xin was very careful, he still showed his flaws in front of spies with keen sense of smell. Once these people became suspicious of him and wanted to investigate him, it was actually very simple.

After all, this is already Da Qin's territory.

Under Da Qin's strict household registration system, it is really difficult to investigate a person carefully and conceal his identity.

While he was talking, the servant outside had already bought the food and brought it in with a respectful look.

Jing Jing put them on the table himself, then took out a set of silverware from his arms. Just as he was about to check the food, Xiao Yaosheng beside him already curled his lips in disdain.

"No need to check, these meals are not poisonous..."

Having said this, he smiled flatteringly at Zhao Ying, then squinted his eyes and glanced at the silver needle in Jing's hand.

"Furthermore, with these things in your hands, even if they are really poisonous, you can't detect anything..."

shock:……

The movement of his hand paused, and finally he checked it carefully.

If something happened to the emperor's eldest grandson, he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he died ten thousand times.

Zhao Ying glanced at Xiaoyaosheng in surprise. Maybe he didn't know the surprise, but he knew that what this guy said was not false at all. It was indeed a bit unreliable to use silver needles to test for poison.

He alone can name a lot of poisons that cannot be detected with a silver needle.

I never thought there was something really good about this product. Not to mention the hair dye last time, just this time, being able to tell at a glance that the food was not poisonous was not something ordinary people could do.

All the swindlers in ancient times were like this...

Zhao Ying couldn't help but vomit in his heart.

Jing smiled apologetically at Zhao Ying.

"I didn't have time to arrange a cook, so I had to be careful..."

Zhao Ying waved his hand.

"It's okay..."

He immediately invited everyone to eat together.

Putting down his chopsticks and seeing that everyone had finished eating, Zhao Ying immediately stood up and looked to the side in surprise.

"Let's go, take me to meet the King of Chu..."

As soon as Zhao Ying, Jing and others left, the servant over there who was responsible for buying food ran into the house happily.In this era, oil and water are scarce and food is expensive.

What they like most as servants is having guests at their master's house.

I can also eat some soup, water, and leftovers.

What's more, the host bought a lot of food today, which is enough for more than a dozen people, and the mutton alone weighs more than ten kilograms.No matter how big their appetites were, those guests would not be able to finish them all.

I am blessed today!

As a result, as soon as I ran to the dining table excitedly, I was dumbfounded!
Empty--

All the food on the plates was clean, and there was no trace of the more than ten kilograms of mutton!

The boy wandered around in disbelief for several times, but couldn't find any trace of leftover food. He couldn't help but jump to his feet and curse.

"What a damn bad luck! Maybe he was reincarnated by a starving ghost!"

Zhao Ying naturally didn't know that someone was scolding him behind his back because of his exaggerated appetite.He followed Jing all the way east, and then detoured for a few miles until he reached the outside of Jiangling City, where he saw the legendary ruins of Yingdu.

There are ruins of bricks and tiles and overgrown weeds.

In just a dozen years, some people have built dilapidated houses on the ruins, and even reclaimed small patches of farmland.

Livestock, chickens and ducks were walking around on it, and a few naughty children were playing around on the broken wall.

Not far away, there were a few scattered sheep, gnawing on the yellowing grass.

Is this Yingdu?

Zhao Ying couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

King and loser.

If he cannot change history and save the national destiny of Qin, I am afraid that the capital of Ying today will be Xianyang in the future.He could remember that Xiang Yu's fire did not go out in Xianyang for several days!
Thousands of palaces were reduced to ruins.

The historical records and classics have disappeared.

No, maybe I saved some——

The books that Xiao He rescued may not have relevant records, but unfortunately, from Xiao He's position, even if there are indeed records, there is a high probability that they will choose to give them up.

All we can see today is a blank slate.

"Your Highness, it's not far ahead..."

He pointed to a low and dilapidated thatched house in front of him in surprise.The house was built on the ruins, and there were no other houses on either side. It was obvious from a distance.It was very dilapidated, and probably barely protected from wind and rain. There were no walls or even fences.

"That is the residence of King Chu's grandson..."

Zhao Ying nodded.

Probably because he had seen Zhao Ying and his group a long time ago, a trace of panic flashed across Xiong Xin's delicate face.The Kingdom of Chu was destroyed, and the royal family was almost completely slaughtered. Only he managed to escape.

Then, hide here incognito.

Unexpectedly, he was still being watched.

"Who are you—"

Xiong Xin barely maintained his composure and looked at Zhao Ying.He could tell that although these uninvited guests were not ordinary people, this tall and tall young man was the talker among this group of people.
