Competing

Chapter 61

"How is it? Do you have a clue?" In the midsummer, after running for several days, he was already sweating profusely.Sitting under a big tree, Chen Ping enjoyed the rare coolness. Seeing the soldiers sent back, he hurriedly inquired.

The soldier shrugged his head and said sadly: "There is no clue yet!"

With a reasonable answer, Chen Ping sighed involuntarily, as the extravagant hope that had arisen just now cooled down again.

Qu Ming stretched out his hand to comfort him, "I will go over the mountain tomorrow, there are still a few villages over there, so don't rush."

The soldier was about to leave, but hesitantly stopped after thinking about it, hesitating to speak.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping asked, "What? Is there anything else?"

The soldier hesitated and said, "My lord, we heard that General Yin is looking for cowboys!"

"Shepherd boy?" The scribes always used more elegant words, Chen Ping frowned and was puzzled.

"Yes, General Yin also goes to every village, and pays special attention to the cowherds. I heard that Pu Xiaowei, General Yin's subordinate, is personally in charge." Pu Jun is Yin Xu's most trusted confidant, and he is cautious and meticulous. , the things entrusted to him can be seen.

Chen Ping and Qu Ming looked at each other, and they saw doubt and incomprehension in each other's eyes.How did the search for the grandson of King Huai change to the search for the cowboy?Could it be that he is sure that the grandson of King Huai is now a cowherd boy?

Chen Ping was in a very complicated mood, thinking of Xue Di's confusion when he met the alliance.The swearing in the hall made everyone think that he knew the clues and had a plan in mind.But when he left, he came to Chen Ping again, claiming to know all along, and asked him for advice.Chen Ping was very puzzled. To be fair, he really couldn't see what Yin Xu was doing at that time?For the common benefit, Chen Ping chose to cooperate, and invited Qu Ming, the imperial guard of the Chu Palace, to cooperate very well.

From Xuedi to Jiujiang, they have been searching everywhere according to Qu Ming's advice.Along the way, except for his firm belief, Yin Xu was really clueless, at least Chen Ping thought so.It was Chen Ping who proposed splitting up by the river. Although it was to improve efficiency, it was actually somewhat selfish.

It's just that Yin Xu suddenly made a move to look for the cowherd baby, which made people confused.Chen Ping had heard about Yin Xu's behavior before. He didn't believe that the famous General Yin would act recklessly. Since he did this, there must be a reason.Maybe the grandson of King Huai is really a cowboy.

Just why didn't he tell himself?The ignorance you showed in front of yourself before was all a disguise?Or did Yin Xu already know about it when he took over the mission in the hall?Secret?Use yourself?Or is there some other magical reason?The more Chen Ping thought about it, the more confused he became, and he couldn't figure out Yin Xu's thoughts and purpose.At this moment, Mr. Chen Ping also deeply understands that Yin Xu is somewhat underestimated. This young and powerful general is really hard to see through.

Chen Ping couldn't figure out what Yin Xu meant, so he still used his own method to visit the grandson of King Huai from house to house.It's unreliable for him to find a cowherd baby.The hard work paid off, and finally on the afternoon of the second day, news came that a family was found in Xihe Village, coming from Shouchun.

Coincidentally, while Chen Ping had clues, Yin Xu also had clues.Under the setting sun, Yin Xu rode his horse and walked slowly, and the evening breeze was blowing, so it was cool.Pu Jun and Su An followed behind, looking a little depressed.It has been several days, and more than 100 people have put all their energy on the cowherd boy, but nothing has been achieved.

Yin Xu's self-confidence is inevitably a little loose. Could it be that the historical records are wrong?Or is history biased?Isn't the grandson of King Huai a cowherd?Or has moved to another place from Jiujiang?I don't know what's going on with Chen Ping?Moreover, the subordinates were quite puzzled by the concern about the cowherd baby, but Pu Jun didn't say anything, and Su An's behavior had already revealed it.

If this continues, it won't be a problem!
As the sun sets, the green grass on the low hills is golden in the afterglow.Yin Xu looked up, just in time to see several well-fed green cattle coming slowly at a leisurely pace.On the back of the ox, several shepherd boys in their teens were chatting and laughing.

The soldiers were no longer as active as they used to be, and they just ignored each other. It had been many times, and it was useless to ask.Moreover, these shepherd boys are extremely familiar, and seem to have seen them before.Seeing this scene, Yin Xu frowned and showed a wry smile.

Since the subordinates don't want to move, then I'll do it myself!Immediately patted the horse and chased after him.

"How many little brothers stay here?" Several shepherd boys felt a little timid when they saw Yin Xu coming on horseback, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a wave of heroic guards rushing towards them.Only a young man fell behind, sitting on the back of a bull, as if he had never heard of it.Yin Xu secretly sighed, already a little more careful.

Yin Xu smiled lightly: "You guys don't have to worry, I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to ask you a few words?"

The shepherd boys all stared at him cautiously, but fortunately, Young General Yin had a kind face and a friendly smile, and he finally won a little trust.

"What do you want to ask?" The guarded look in the shepherd boy's eyes has not completely faded, Yin Xu sighed secretly: Do I look so much like a bad uncle?

Yin Xu smiled and said, "Are you all natives? Are there any foreigners in the village? Or take me to your village and meet your parents?"

The shepherd boys were a little dazed, and Yin Xu blamed himself, it seemed that they talked too much, and the little ones couldn't digest it!It was only after a while that I noticed that the gazes of the little fellows were intentionally or unintentionally cast back, and fell on the fallen shepherd boy.

Huh?This kid is the king of children?Or is this kid a foreigner?Thinking of the guy's unique temperament, Yin Xu's heart skipped a beat, could it be...

When he wanted to ask a question, the stern shepherd boy had already rode the green bull down the mountain, and it could be seen that this guy was a bit withdrawn.

Seeing this, a shepherd boy came up and said with a smile: "Give me a bell, and I'll tell you."

General Yin smiled lightly, took off the little bell on the horse and threw it over. The shepherd boy took it in his hand, showing his small protruding teeth. The only foreigner who moved here 15 years ago."

"Oh?" In 223 BC, Qin destroyed Chu, exactly 15 years ago.Yin Xu immediately asked: "What's his name?"

"Bear Heart!"

"Bear heart?" Yin Xu was startled and laughed in surprise.If you have broken through your iron shoes, there is nowhere to find them, and it takes no effort to get them.

Yin Xu was excited for a while, and immediately called Pu Jun and Su An to follow.Looking at General Yin's excited expression, everyone seemed to realize something,
"Young Master? Could it be..." Su An couldn't believe it.

Yin Xu laughed and said: "It's probably true, I need to go home to confirm."

Xiong Xin rode a green bull and walked slowly in front, and more than a hundred soldiers fell behind, guarding them.The shepherd boys on the hillside were all dumbfounded. The silent bear boy is about to get rich?He hurriedly drove the green cattle, took a shortcut and ran back to the village.

After entering the village, he found that soldiers in the same attire had surrounded Xiong Xin's house, and several shepherd boys stared curiously.At this moment, Yin Xu followed Xiong Xin into the entrance of the village, only to find that Chen Ping and Qu Ming were already waiting at the door.

It seems that they acted separately and coincided with each other.
