Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 4
At the end of the Warring States period, due to low productivity, people's resistance to natural disasters and man-made disasters was still relatively low, coupled with years of wars, the population density was far less dense than it is today. ,

It is relatively easy to pass through various cities and travel to various countries without being discovered. Even in the rich Qin State, there are large areas of desolation outside the cities. What's more, Han Tan found several roads on the guards. not to be afraid of interrogation.

"Mistress, before you bring your son to Yongcheng, it will be known by the internal history Si after a long time. Although the talk is dull, I have heard that the world has said that Si is a despicable person, and I am afraid that it will not be good for you. I heard that the king has attached Zhao It’s better to leave Qin and go to Zhao.” Han Tan suggested after confirming that his son, baby, mother and child were all safe.

"Women are in danger of being killed. Since the king is going to Zhao, my mother and son should go with me."

"Traveling east through Xianyang, you will meet many people. How about crossing Jingshui in the north, passing Hexi from Shangdang Ruzhao, and going straight to Handan?" Han Tan suggested after a little thought.

Han Tan's suggestion soon won Du Ling's support, and after a short discussion, the eastward route was determined.

Ziying sighed inwardly: Why go to Handan? If I remember correctly, my cheap father should be named Raoyang Lord, and my group should go directly to Raoyang on the Yanzhao border.

However, Ziying dared not say these words. If a one or two-year-old child said such words in an unpredictable manner, his mother and Han Tan would definitely think that he was bewitched by evil spirits. , People are still very superstitious. For some unexplainable things, they always go to take a bath to avoid evil spirits.

All Ziying can do now is to obediently climb into the carriage, and embark on the journey of "escape" with his mother and Han Tan.

Fortunately, as Cheng Yu's most trusted person, Han Tan is very familiar with the big and small events of the Chang'an Emperor's Mansion. When he discovered that the internal history wanted to seize the property of the Emperor's Mansion, he knew that it was impossible to rescue Han Tan, the mother and child, in Xianyang City. Quietly ran to Cheng Yu's study and took out a box of gold that Mr. Chang'an had stored in it, pulled out a horse from the backyard, sneaked out from the back door while everyone's attention was on Ziying, mother and child, and after inquiring that Ziying, mother and child were killed After being sent to Yongcheng, he chased after him, and this time there was the above scene.

Thanks to the road test, the three of them walked to the mountains near Tunliu without any danger along the way.

Tunliu is located to the west of Shangdang Basin and to the east of Taiyue Mountain. The terrain is higher in the west and lower in the east, and the county is densely covered with mountainous basins.

"Han Tan, is there no place to stay yet? Why are there so few people along the way?"

"Returning to the mistress, I heard from old farmers in the countryside that this place is densely covered with mountains and forests. After your lord went to Zhao here, bandits and robbers arose, and several waves of merchants were plundered by them. Therefore, most of the people nearby have moved to the county." Han Tan replied.

As the saying goes, there are some things that you are not afraid to talk about. Before Han’s conversation fell, a group of strong men sprang out from the forest on one side. There were about 20 of them. Each of them held a bronze sword and wore dilapidated black armor. The attire of a soldier.

Han Tan hurriedly got out of the car and stood in front of the carriage, cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask which general the sergeants belong to?"

After listening to Han Tan finish speaking, before the other party finished speaking, Ziying opened the curtain and had a look, which party these people belonged to already had the answer in his mind.

This place has already belonged to Qin State, if it was Qin State's regular army, it would be impossible to get into such a miserable situation.And these people were wearing the clothes of the Qin army. Chang'an had just rebelled against Qin from here, so the identity of these sergeants was ready to be revealed-a member of the Zhao army led by Cheng Qiao.

For some reason, my father went to Zhao country, but these people did not go there together.

Ziying's side had just straightened out, and Han Tan's side also got the answer he wanted, and it was exactly what Ziying thought.

Before Ziying could react, Han Tan's hearty voice sounded again after he breathed a sigh of relief: "I am Han Tan, the servant of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, and the people in the car are Mr. Ziying and the mistress of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion. "

After listening to Han Tan's words, Ziying wished to go over and seal Han Tan's mouth. Although he didn't know why they would still stay in Qin State, and even turned into bandits, it was obvious that they were not doing well. Taking them out under such circumstances would naturally become the object of resentment by many soldiers.

You only said that we were just rich households who went to Tunliu to visit relatives, maybe we would just lose some money. These unprofessional bandits would not do anything to the three of us.

Sure enough, as soon as Han's voice fell, the faces of the bandits blocking the way suddenly changed, showing anger, helplessness, and even a little awe.

"Chang'an Lord's Mansion? Chang'an Lord's Mansion!" The leading sergeant said with several helpless smiles: "If it wasn't for Lord Chang'an, we wouldn't have fallen to the point of living by looting houses!"

"We were originally soldiers of the Qin Army. It was precisely because we followed Lord Chang'an that we were accused of treason. We can't return to our country, and we can't return to our family. Poor my parents, wives and children in my hometown don't know what's going on now!"

After all, this tough man couldn't help but shed tears. The soldiers who followed behind him, thinking of their relatives in their hometown, couldn't stop wiping away their tears secretly.

"Why are you crying! Come, take the three of them to the cottage and ask the brigade commander to dispose of them. You, young man, go drive the carriage. Although our soldiers of the Qin Army have fallen into the grass, we will not bully women and children. Let's go."

"It's over, I just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den." I thought I could go to Zhao country in a safe and sound way, but I never thought that such a moth would appear on the road.Han Tan had been kicked out of the carriage and walked with the group with his hands bound. Although his mother and son were still in the carriage, they were also under strict supervision.

His mother, Du Ling, pretended to be calm and sat in the carriage, but Ziying, who was tightly held by her, could clearly feel his mother's trembling.

"Mother, I heard that they are all father's subordinates. Where are they taking us? Isn't father with the king? Are they going to follow us to find father?" From the words and deeds of the soldiers, Ziying found that his father Although the old army had some resentment towards his father, he still had a certain degree of awe. It can be seen from the fact that the sergeants did not get angry and dealt with the three of them as soon as they heard the identity of their mother and child. From this point of view, the general himself It is not necessarily impossible for mother and child to escape from birth.

The most important point is that Cheng Yu was not actually rebellious, but was slandered by Lu Buwei. It can be seen that these soldiers are very proud of their status as the Qin army, and they very much hope to return to Qin.But in the current state of being a bandit, returning to Qin and returning to the army is tantamount to nonsense.

But there is a way to help them realize their dreams, let them understand that Lord Chang'an was not a rebel, but was framed by Lu Buwei, they are not rebels, but real heroes, and now Lu Buwei is powerful and powerful. control.Once the King of Qin sweeps the world by himself, even if they are in the State of Zhao, the King of Qin will not embarrass their family members. Once the situation changes, Qin Zhao will compete, and they will have a very good chance to return to the Qin army.

I am only a little over one year old, and I have no human rights, but I can mention my mother.

Sure enough, after she finished asking in a childlike voice, the mother stayed there for a while, and then hugged the baby even harder.

"Well, they are going to follow us to the country of Zhao, don't be afraid, baby."
