My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 621 Fatty, come and thank your benefactor! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"See that fat guy over there? The one sitting on the millstone, surrounded by people?"

The younger brothers came forward one after another, squinting their eyes and smiling crescently, just like the shape of Qin Dynasty's knife coins.

"I saw it, I saw it."

"Brother, you are really smart. That fat guy looks very rich."

The burly man in the lead had tattoos on his face. He looked at the fat man in fancy clothes opposite him and said, "I dare to bet with you that the fat man will fall to the ground before I can beat him in one move."

"But brother, don't just focus on that fat guy. I see those people around him are all martial artists."

"Don't count the fat guy and the skinny guy. There are sixteen of us against the remaining four warriors, which means four people against one. We will win!"

When the brothers heard this, they were all excited.

The chief narrowed his eyes at the fat man and said, "I think he is sneaking around and is afraid that we will steal his money. This shows that he must have done a lot of bad things in his life. If we don't beat him up, it will be unjust."

"Brothers, copy the guy!"

The brothers nodded like chicks pecking at rice, "Okay!"

As they were talking, they disappeared into the darkness.

Ying Zheng was very secretive, fearing that outsiders would see him and plot against him. His whereabouts were indeed suspicious.

episode--

In history, about a hundred years later, an emperor in Chang'an City also went out on a secret visit.

Because he was tall and strong, with a fierce look and very rude, when he walked on the street, the neighbors around him would talk about him, "He might be a robber."

So he was reported.

This person is Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che
-
Back to the point, Ying Zheng and the robbers were only a few hundred meters apart. Both sides were within the visible range of the naked eye. Seeing that the group of people in black clothes went home and closed the door, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat under a willow tree and spoke to several guards with great pride.

"I told you. Xianyang is under the emperor's feet. No one would dare to commit crimes openly. Look, they are withdrawing."

At that moment, Ying Zheng smiled very foolishly, like the expression of a mother leopard in the ravine when she sees her little leopard cub.

Several guards also believed it.

Xin couldn't help but complain in his heart: The person who hurriedly covered his face when he saw the man in black just now seemed to be your Majesty.

The guards had never been so close to Ying Zheng before. They were so excited that their legs were shaking.

Ying Zheng, that is a name that makes people all over the world feel awe.

"Your Majesty, why do you always say that you are the Zulong?"

"On the eve of unifying the world, I dreamed of a black dragon, who said to me, 'He is me, and I am him.'" Ying Zheng was in a particularly good mood tonight. It was a different feeling to pretend to be an ordinary person and go to see the palace built for him by the young men in Xianyang.

"So that's how it is. Outsiders are saying that Your Majesty is playing tricks." The guard was quite straightforward and spoke his mind.

Ying Zheng did not answer, and ripples suddenly appeared in his heart.

Playing tricks? They? Who are they? How many people are there in total?

Even so, there are still people who don't believe that they are Zulong. How ignorant.

Ying Zheng sat on the millstone under a big tree. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and became more energetic.

"Let's go, walk forward."

"My lord, that group of people is just ahead. Let's take a detour." Xin stopped him.

"I am the Dragon Ancestor, sent by Heaven to unite the seven kingdoms. With the protection of the gods, no one in the world can harm me."

Xin bowed and said, "Having said that, we should be cautious in everything."

"Xin, this is where you are not as good as Gao." Ying Zheng patted Xin's shoulder, "You have to believe that I am the destiny."

The other guards looked at Ying Zheng, their eyes clear and brighter than the stars in the night sky.

The sky was high, and the ghost trees were dense and straight, like sharp swords sticking out from the ground. From the graves in the distance, gusts of cold wind blew from time to time.

Four masters led the way in front, and Ying Zheng walked behind, looking up at the sky from time to time, and looking left and right from time to time.

There was a half-moon in the sky, and the clouds were looming, like a veil covering half of the tree. The newly sprouted branches were shining under the moonlight, and every green leaf was shining.

"I remember this area was always crowded with people, why is there no one here at night?"

"I will ask around when I get back."

Ying Zheng sighed slightly.

If it were Zhao Gao, he would definitely tell Ying Zheng at this time that it was all because the gods and ghosts had paved the way for His Majesty in advance.

Ying Zheng strode forward with his belly full of wisdom.

There was a sound of pottery fragments sliding down from the roof, and then a few cats flew across the roof at a high speed.

The warriors were well-trained and immediately sensed the murderous aura around them. They took out the long swords hidden under their clothes.

"Escort!"

Sure enough, several chilly white sword lights fell to the ground.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, several strong men jumped down from the tall tree. In the night, their eyes were fierce and full of hostility.

After everyone landed, they kicked up a cloud of dust. The ground was covered with yellow earth, and anyone who walked a little faster could stir up a cloud of dust.

Rolling yellow earth fell on Ying Zheng's face. Ying Zheng was so scared that he quickly stepped back, but his legs and feet felt weak and he could not move anymore and fell to the ground.

The soldiers also looked back at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng quickly got up.

After a few people landed, they rushed over from the front with swords in hand without saying a word. The four warriors didn't care about anything else, and rushed forward desperately, drawing their swords at the newcomers.

"Hey!"

At once, more than a dozen bandits appeared from the rear and on both sides.

They walked steadily, their footsteps moving back and forth in the loess like fish. But Ying Zheng, wearing luxurious silk shoes, walked on such a loess road, but his whole step was unsteady.

Several soldiers held their swords tightly, facing several burly bandits, their narrow eyes as calm as water.

The bandit leader sneered and waved his hand, and the bandits rushed towards the soldiers like hungry tigers.

A soldier roared and punched the foremost bandit in the abdomen.

The robber's face changed and he quickly retreated. Another soldier stepped forward to fight with the soldier. However, the force was so strong that the robber who was hit by the punch still retreated several steps.

A cold light flashed in the soldier's eyes, and his long sword was like lightning. With three consecutive moves, he knocked a robber to the ground, while he himself was not hurt at all.

Under the moon, dust was flying, and four soldiers surrounded Ying Zheng.

The robber who fell to the ground first was vomiting blood from his mouth. He was stabbed by several swords and was twitching and spitting blood on the ground.

When the bandit leader saw this, he immediately felt that these four people must have extraordinary backgrounds and had such high skills.

The robbers' eyes suddenly became more murderous. They took a deep breath and attacked the soldiers' chests with their swords raised.

The soldiers' eyes gleamed with excitement, and they raised their swords to meet the enemy. The two forces collided, and the cold light of the swords flashed in front of Ying Zheng.

The bandit leader was shocked and took a few steps back. The fight became more and more intense, with both sides fighting back and forth, with each sword striking a fatal blow and the energy overflowing.

The four men hacked the six robbers to death, leaving the yellow earth stained with blood. Pools of blood began to accumulate in the gullies and potholes on the dirt road.

"Brother - these guys are not easy to mess with."

At this moment, a carriage suddenly sped onto the street.

"Prince, there is a fight with weapons ahead. We have to report to the police." Lu Shizhi was very frightened. While he was speaking, Xiahou Ying had already grabbed the reins of the carriage.

"Let me drive!" Xiahou Ying made a prompt decision and drove the carriage towards the group of bandits without saying a word!
Fusu was sitting in the carriage, and before he could react to what was happening, a violent jolt almost shook him out of the carriage.

Either they kill these robbers and make a contribution, or they wait for the truth to be revealed tomorrow and all of them will be fired.

It was that simple. Xiahou Ying's reaction was so quick that Feng Jing was caught off guard.

The robbers saw a car rushing towards them from a distance and were so scared that they immediately lost their will to fight and began to retreat.

The masters brought by Ying Zheng were now even more powerful.

Seeing that his side had the upper hand, Ying Zheng's chest was already filled with anger. He immediately straightened his back and shouted, "Capture them all!"

The four masters received the order and immediately chased after the robbers and started fighting with them. Seeing this, the leader immediately blew a whistle. This whistle was made of the bark of the ghost tree, that is, the bark of the poplar tree, which is very common in the northwest.

When the whistle sounded, the robbers tried to retreat.

But several guards shouted, "Don't leave!"

Several people started fighting again.

The robbers were also very loyal, and none of them ran away at the critical moment.

Soon, the carriage arrived.

Xiahou Ying's chariot skills were superb, and he passed by Ying Zheng fluently. The two horses pulled the chariot at full speed and rushed towards the bandits, knocking all the bandits to the ground. The horses raised their hooves high and kicked the bandits' waists and abdomens, crushing their internal organs.

Once Xiahou Ying knocked down the bandits, they would have no chance to retreat. Two of them were about to flee when suddenly someone shot seven arrows through the car window, and both of them fell to the ground wounded.

"What are you reporting? Watch me." Guan Fu kicked Lü Shizhi off the cart, and Lü Shizhi fell into the dirt, coughing. Guan Fu then jumped off the cart himself, ready to hit him with his bare fists.

Guan Fu was worthy of being the number one gladiator among the Tiger Guards of Hengyang Palace. He grabbed a robber on the ground and punched him so hard that his brain almost popped out and blood flowed from his mouth.

Fusu's men and the four masters immediately engaged in one-on-one combat with the bandits. After a fierce fight, they quickly subdued them.

All the clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and the mirror-like surface of the sky was smooth and flawless. The moon was like half a pancake, hanging brightly in the sky above Fusu and others, illuminating Xianyang.

The neighbors had heard about the fight long ago, and were all trembling in their homes. Some went to report to the police in the dark. Only then did Fusu slowly get down from the car.

"Where do all these robbers come from?"

Xiahou Ying pointed at the tattoos on their faces and said, "They must be prisoners from Mount Li."

Then Chen Ping and Feng Jing also slowly walked out of the carriage.

Just now, they were lucky to have the prince protecting them, otherwise they would have been finished today.

"Prince, fortunately there is a crossbow in the carriage." Feng Jing was grateful and excited after being saved by the prince.

Chen Ping said, "I'm afraid this matter has become a big deal today."

After beating the people, Guan Fu skillfully tied their hands and feet with ropes and clothes and threw them into the pigsty one by one.

Xiahou Ying and Lu Shizhi were also helping.

As they were busy, they suddenly realized that the civilians who had just fought with the bandits had disappeared. Turning around, they saw them retreating in a hurry, surrounding a fat man.

It looks very similar to...the black and white two-legged beast that lives in the southernmost part of the sky.

"Sneaky!"

"Those guys! Stop right there!"

Guan Fu shouted twice.

Chen Ping wanted to speak out to stop him, but thinking of his low status, he kept silent.

Everyone looked over.

I saw four sword-wielding masters surrounding two people and walking away quickly. One of them was fat and bloated, and the other was tall and thin.

"I was so scared. Looking at their backs, I thought it was the Emperor and the Minister of Chancellery." Feng Jing couldn't help but complain.

Guan Fu glanced at Feng Jing and quickly chased after him.

Ying Zheng and Xin Jun did not dare to look back. They never expected that the person who came to rescue them was Fusu...

"My young master saved you, why didn't you just say thank you and leave? Besides, it's such a big deal, a robber died, don't you report it to the police?"

Guan Fu was shouting loudly. He was the only one in the audience who could speak.

"Fatty, don't leave! If you don't even thank your benefactor, what kind of man are you?"

Fusu's face darkened, and he kicked Guan Fu hard on the buttocks, "Who told you to say that? Aren't you trying to expose my whereabouts tonight to the world?"

Guan Fu looked at Fusu and said, "Young Master, they killed someone. This is against the law."

"Didn't we kill people too?"

"We are eliminating violence and upholding justice!" Guan Fu said loudly.

At this time, Xiahou Ying also said, "Young Master, seeing how sneaky they are, they might be thieves. It's better to keep them."

Fusu was helpless, "You guys, go and ask quickly."

Fusu said this and returned to the carriage.

Guan Fu and Feng Jing hurriedly chased after him, determined to see who the other person was.

"Turn around quickly. If you don't stop, I'll call the police!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng was going to be embarrassed again tonight, the guards, in order to protect his face, linked arms and stood behind Ying Zheng, preventing others from passing.

They were only a few steps away from the carriage.

"Stop now, or I'll start."

The fat man stopped walking when he heard this. He turned around without hiding anything.

He put his hands on his waist and stared at Guan Fu and Feng Jing. He was very imposing.

But his face was covered with yellow dirt.

Under the moonlight, Guan Fu and Feng Jing saw each other's faces clearly and both stepped back. They leaned against each other and trembled.

"Call the prince over to me!" When Ying Zheng saw that the truth was revealed, he immediately became furious and acted like a righteous person.

Fusu was sitting in the carriage, waiting for Feng Jing and the others to finish their business so that he could return to the palace.

Chen Ping said a few words to Fusu, "The Crown Prince's fight with these bandits today will surely spread throughout Xianyang City one day. Has the Crown Prince thought of a plan to deal with it?"

"I eliminate violence and protect the good, so the people will naturally reward me."

"The crown prince of the country left the palace in the middle of the night. If this gets out, what will people think of him?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"What happened tonight was just the work of the prince's guards during a night trip. It has nothing to do with the prince." Chen Ping was willing to take responsibility for everything for Fusu.

"Alright."

At this time, Guan Fu and Feng Jing came back limping.

"What's going on?" Lu Shizhi wondered, "It's like seeing a ghost."

When Feng Jing saw Fusu, he whispered a few words into his ear.

Chen Ping saw Fusu's expression change slightly, and then he got off the carriage without saying a word and walked towards the carriage on the other side like a prisoner going to the execution ground.

Inside the carriage.

After Ying Zheng made friendly eye contact with Fusu.

"As a prince, how can you ride out of the palace at night instead of staying in the palace? How can you be so rude?"

"Father, didn't you come out too?" Fusu looked up at Ying Zheng and asked with courage.

"How dare you!" Ying Zheng said sternly, "I came out to inspect public security. What about you? You are wasting your time on playing with things."

"I came out to see whether the Shaofu has completed the construction of my father's palace."

"Then you really care about me." Ying Zheng said gritting his teeth.

The two looked at each other.

After a long while, Ying Zheng said, "No matter what, it is not decent for a crown prince to parade incognito in the middle of the night. But for the sake of our father-son relationship, I will spare you today."

"I will give you a chance to make up for your sins. Today's affairs will be completely handed over to you. Do you know what to do?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment. This was too far-fetched.

Seeing Fusu hesitant, Ying Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't want your mother to know about this, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Fusu's eyes became firm. "I will never let this matter get out. My subordinates have taken care of everything. Please take me back to the palace directly, and leave the rest to them."

Ying Zheng didn't think much about it.

"can."

Fusu got off the car and gave a few instructions to the others, then he solemnly told them, "Don't reveal a single word of what happened tonight to the public."

The four of them agreed in a shocked voice, "Don't worry, Prince."

In this way, Fusu took a ride back with Ying Zheng.

Because of the limited space in the car, Fusu could only sit on one side. Ying Zheng, who was tall and fat, sat in the main seat.

The father and son sat in a car, and neither of them spoke.

Fusu was bored and saw a string of jade rings on the carriage and couldn't help playing with them.

"This jade is of good quality." Fusu picked up the jade and saw with his naked eyes that there was no impurity inside the jade ring and the quality was extremely high.

"Indeed. That is my belt accessory." Ying Zheng said, pulling his jade ring back.

Now Fusu understood why Ying Zheng was robbed.

Under the moonlight, on a road paved with a mixture of slabs of stone and dirt, a carriage was heading towards the palace along the road.

The air in the car froze for a moment.

Ying Zheng said, "There are actually thieves in Xianyang City. I will order a thorough investigation after I return."

Fusu looked down at his feet. There is no end to the number of thieves. Thieves are not born to be thieves, they are forced to be thieves by life. If you really want to govern a country, you must address the root cause.

"You seem to have something to say."

"I haven't."

Fusu was sitting in the carriage, feeling a little sleepy. Faintly, he heard Ying Zheng sigh.

"I know you have many ideas that you want to implement. But before I die, you'd better be a good prince." Ying Zheng patted Fusu's shoulder rarely, just like when Ying Zheng and Fusu talked about the making of paper when they were children.

"It's not that I don't support my father in establishing the imperial system. If it were me, I would also implement the county system throughout the country. But I wouldn't use such a rough method." Fusu still plucked up the courage and told Ying Zheng his true thoughts.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and was visibly stunned.

"The world is too chaotic. Once you use your methods, those who can't restrain themselves will only have a more reasonable excuse to kill each other."

"You don't understand the common people. The common people look down on themselves more than the nobles do, and the common people fight against each other. They don't care about morals." Ying Zheng said while stroking his beard.

Fusu said, "Actually... I really appreciate Laozi's ideas in the Tao Te Ching. When things reach their extreme, they will turn into the opposite. When the situation reaches its extreme, all the principles and laws are abandoned, and the people themselves suffer greatly. They themselves will look forward to a moral society. When the people suffer from war, they themselves will hope for peace."

Ying Zheng sighed, "You always think too highly of people. Just like the Queen."

【Wish you all a happy Children's Day! 】
