"Why is Xianyang City so busy today? Could it be that something big happened?"
Xiang Yu almost suspected that he was in the wrong place.
He had come to Xianyang City before with his uncle Xiang Liang, and had seen the majestic scene of the First Emperor's patrol, but even then, the streets were not so lively.
And looking at the direction of the flow of people, they were all heading towards the west gate. I couldn't help but grab a middle-aged man with narrow cheeks and asked curiously.
The middle-aged man with the narrow cheeks was a little impatient at first, but when he looked back, he turned out to be a tall young man over eight feet tall, powerful and full of pressure.
The young man was holding a glossy black horse in his hand, a tall and majestic horse. His anger was completely dissipated immediately, and he explained in a very friendly manner with a smile on his face.
"Little brother, you are here for the first time. Today His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson made a triumphant return. Everyone is eager to greet His Highness the eldest grandson of the Emperor - little brother, would you like to go and see it together..."
When Xiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Ah--
What a coincidence that I came here!
"Okay, let's go and take a look!"
The middle-aged man originally said it so smoothly, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so simply. He immediately turned around with the horse in hand, looking a little stunned for a moment.
So simple!
But he quickly came to his senses, and was about to say yes, but when he looked back, he saw that the horse was already being led away at the lead, and the black horse even raised its tail at him.
He immediately closed his mouth angrily.
He turned around, spat, cursed under his breath and walked away.
"Historical Records" said that Xiang Yu was more than eight feet tall, while "Hanshu" has a more accurate record, saying that "he was eight feet and two inches long, strong enough to carry a cauldron, and extremely talented."
If calculated according to the Han ruler, Xiang Yu's height is close to 1.95 meters!
A tall one, almost two meters tall.
In addition, Kong was powerful and handsome, and he was leading a black and shiny horse that looked like an extraordinary horse. Standing in the crowd, it was difficult not to attract attention.
Wherever he passed, many people couldn't help but look sideways, and some young girls and wives couldn't help but have peach blossoms in their eyes, subconsciously feeling close to him.
Unfortunately, the young man's eyes didn't even stop on them, and he strode past them. It made them all feel as if they were missing.
"Go and inquire to see whose family that young man is a son of. I'm afraid he already has the elegance of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor..."
On a luxuriously decorated carriage in the distance, a middle-aged lady with a soft complexion, plump body and fair complexion had just withdrawn her gaze. When she looked back, she saw her daughter nestling next to her still chasing after her crazily. As the young man walked away, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He opened the window and gave instructions to the woman who was following him.
Hearing his grandma asking about this, the girl with a pretty look on her face and a hint of coquettishness immediately pricked up her ears.
Not long after the order was given, the woman who left quickly came back with a middle-aged man with a narrow face and a hint of flattery on his face.
"Mrs. Qizhen, I have asked people to inquire carefully. No one knows that young man. This man is said to have spoken to that young man before -"
Across the curtain, the middle-aged lady in the car looked at the middle-aged man's flattering face and frowned slightly.
"Do you know the details of that young man..."
"I don't know what you're talking about, but that boy doesn't have our Guanzhong accent. He sounds like Chu Di - cough..."
The man said, raised his hand and slapped himself.
"The accent sounds like someone from the Wuyue area - I have seen some of our Xianyang guests from the Wuyue area before, and their speaking tone is very similar to that young man..."
The lady nodded slightly, not bothering to care about his slip of the tongue. She asked the old lady next to her to reward him with a few large sums of money, and then waved the man away.
There is no doubt that the young man is from out of town.
The middle-aged lady in the car couldn't help but smile.
Nowadays, His Majesty is recruiting talents and promoting the imperial examination. Just as the first imperial examination is about to come, talented people from all over the world are rushing to Xianyang. But the young man in the distance, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with flying eyebrows, is not Chi at first glance. The thing in.
I'm afraid I'm here to seek fame.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged lady became more and more happy and ordered in a low voice.
"You guys go over and keep an eye on that young man. If you find an opportunity to invite him to our house later, just say - your young master is inviting..."
The old ladies nodded immediately and took this matter to heart.
Xiang Yu didn't know that as soon as he entered Xianyang, he fell into the eyes of some noble people because of his appearance.
At this time, he led his black horse and followed the crowd to stand outside the west city gate.
He wanted to see what kind of person the Emperor's eldest grandson really was!
He didn't know if he could block his full blow.
A large number of people had gathered outside the city gate, and a group of officials sent by the imperial court were waiting outside the city gate early, waiting to see His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson returning in triumph.
When it was getting close to noon, the soldiers on duty at the top of Xianyang City first spotted the convoy in the distance. Then someone didn't know who screamed that His Highness the Emperor Changsun had arrived, and there was a commotion at the top of the city.
Everyone stretched out their necks and looked into the distance.
Zhao Ying and his party arrived very quickly.
He didn't prepare any special ceremony, nor did he do any tragic stunt to escort the fallen soldiers. If he really had that intention, it would be better to give him a little more compensation, so he just followed the daily march and came at a gallop.
Even so, the uniform team and the silent and solemn atmosphere still couldn't help but make everyone's eyes brighten.
A strong army in a hundred battles!
This team, especially the soldiers who followed it, followed Zhao Ying to victory in consecutive battles, swept across the Xiongnu, and pacified Hexi. Along the way, they wiped out all the enemies almost like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. They had already established the invincible power of Lao Tzu. The mentality of a strong person who dares to kill and fight.
There was no need to hold it deliberately, and the murderous aura of a veteran on the battlefield rushed towards his face.
Even Xiang Yu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he felt a little bit of recognition for Zhao Ying, the emperor's eldest grandson who had always been a little unconvinced.
"This boy is not a pure idiot! It's not like I, Xiang Yu, ran away in vain..."
Before Zhao Ying and his party could approach, officials specially dispatched by the imperial court were already riding horses to greet them.
"My ministers, congratulations to the champion general on his triumphant return!"
"I would like to welcome you all—"
On horseback, Zhao Ying also smiled and returned the favor.
After receiving Zhao Ying and his party, these officials turned their horses and merged into Zhao Ying's team. Only the palace guards brought behind them raised the black flag of Great Qin and cleared the way in front.
The people who were watching did not dare to disturb, but just stood on both sides, looking passionately at the tall, gentle-faced His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, who always wore a smile that made people feel like spring breeze.
"Your Highness will be victorious, and Great Qin will be victorious!"
"Your Highness will be victorious, and Great Qin will be victorious!"
"..."
Among the crowd, I don't know who shouted first. Outside the city gate, there was a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. The sound became louder and louder, like the wind, and quickly spread towards the city.
Xiang Yu, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but his eyes flashed.
He didn't know why, but the scene in front of him actually made his blood boil.
When we first saw the First Emperor on tour, even though the momentum was even more majestic than this, at that time, everyone in Xianyang City bowed their heads and trembled fearfully, fearing that they would offend the First Emperor's majesty. He had no fear in his heart, but instead aroused the idea of "there is another alternative".
But at this moment, listening to the people around him cheering for Zhao Ying like a landslide and a tsunami, feeling the deep-seated love and respect of the people around him for Zhao Ying, Xiang Yu could not help but feel a yearning rising in his heart.
This is how a true man should stand between heaven and earth!
I don't know if he felt Xiang Yu's burning eyes, or because Xiang Yu's image was too conspicuous. He was nearly two meters tall, leading a black horse, and his majestic equipment stood out among the crowd.
Zhao Ying, who was slowly entering the city accompanied by the officials who greeted him from the imperial court, subconsciously turned his head and took another look.
The moment his eyes came into contact with Xiang Yu, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a smile in his eyes.
Xiang Yu!
Almost subconsciously, a name that he had been thinking about for a long time flashed through his mind.
no way.
For Zhao Ying, who is familiar with the history of later generations and was once one of Xiang Yu's fans, Xiang Yu's characteristics are so distinctive, not to mention the divine horse and the tall man who is nearly two meters tall. , just the one who was born with double eyes makes it impossible to admit his mistake.
Xiang Yu!
Ah, how embarrassing this is——
It was actually delivered to your door...
He turned slightly sideways on the horse and whispered a few words to Fan Kuai, who was accompanying him. Fan Kuai quietly retreated.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor. No one paid attention. The few personal guards who followed him quietly withdrew from the team entering the city and blended into the crowd.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xiang Yu in the crowd actually felt that the emperor's grandson, who was sitting upright on horseback and bowing his hands to the people on both sides, seemed to turn his head and look at him.
Even at the moment when their eyes met, the emperor's eldest grandson seemed to nodded slightly and smiled at him...
Does he know me?
Xiang Yu quickly threw this ridiculous idea out of his mind.
impossible!
He grew up in Kuaiji County since he was a child. Although he occasionally came to Xianyang with his uncle, he definitely had no interaction with the emperor's eldest grandson. How could he know him?
Zhao Ying's team finally entered the city.
As soon as they entered the city, they saw a luxurious and noble carriage parked in the middle of the official road, pulled by six tall horses. On the shaft of the carriage, an old man with a gray beard and a warm complexion sat.
Who is Hei Geng?
Zhao Ying thought it was the First Emperor personally coming out to greet him, so he was so frightened that he jumped off his horse. However, before he could rush forward to greet him, he saw Hei who was sitting on the chariot's shaft jumping off the chariot's shaft and rushing toward him. He bowed deeply.
"According to His Majesty's decree, I drive Your Majesty's carriage to welcome the Grandson of the Grand Chief of the Hexi County Guards and the Grand General in triumph!"
After saying that, he stood up straight and turned sideways with a solemn expression.
"Your Highness, please get on board!"
"Your Highness, please get on board——"
The etiquette officers and palace guards who came with the carriage all bowed and saluted. Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. It was obvious that his eldest father was trying to build up his prestige.
"Thank you, Your Majesty——"
After saying that, Zhao Ying went straight onto the carriage and nodded slightly to Hei.
"Thank you, old black man——"
This is the grace of the First Emperor, not the time to be polite.
Hei Hui agreed, turned the carriage around, and headed straight for Zhangtai Palace along the official road in the middle.
Wang Nan in the crowd looked at his husband from a distance and listened to the cheers and cheers around him. He couldn't help but blush and raised his face proudly.
At this time, seeing that the First Emperor actually sent his own carriage and asked Mr. Hei to come to greet him in person, he subconsciously tightened his hold on the little hand of his best friend beside him.
My heart is filled with pride.
At this time, the one who is attracting all the attention and enjoying the cheers and courtesy of the people is my husband, Wang Nan!
The motorcade was rumbling, and while it was moving, Zhao Ying's eyes flashed, and he suddenly saw a pair of sparkling eyes in the crowd, full of tenderness and sweetness. At this time, the owner of these eyes was looking at him unblinkingly. .
"parking--"
Zhao Ying suddenly spoke up.
Hei, who was driving the carriage, was a little surprised, but he still reined in the reins according to Zhao Ying's instructions.
The people of Xianyang who were cheering and following were stunned. Just as they were wondering what was happening, they saw the tall, majestic Emperor Changsun, His Highness, jumping down from the carriage and striding towards one of the people in the crowd. direction.
At this time, Wang Nan felt as if he was in a dream, feeling dizzy.
In fact, from the moment the Emperor's carriage suddenly stopped, she had a vague premonition in her heart, but she just couldn't believe it until she saw the man she had been thinking about so much suddenly jumped off the carriage and walked straight towards her. As I strode forward, I was suddenly surrounded by great happiness and fear.
On such a solemn and majestic occasion, he actually stopped the motorcade for himself!
Wherever Zhao Ying went, the crowds parted automatically like a tide.
The pretty face that looked a little confused, surprised, happy, happy and angry appeared from behind.
"Madam, I'm back!"
It wasn't until Zhao Ying grabbed his little hand in front of everyone that Wang Nan suddenly came to his senses, his pretty face turned red, his heart was filled with sweetness and uneasiness, and he complained in a low voice.
"Why do you come here like this on such an occasion today - you are not afraid of people gossiping about you..."
Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Since I meet my wife, what does it have to do with others? Even if someone gossips, I have nothing to fear -"
As he spoke, he took Wang Nan's little hand and said softly.
"Madam, you and I are one husband and wife, and I have half of your honor today. Come get in the car with me!"
As he said that, he couldn't help but hold Wang Nan's little hand and strode towards the carriage. Before Wang Nan could react, he was already half-huged and half-carried by Zhao Ying into the carriage.
Seeing this scene, the crowd suddenly burst into even more enthusiastic cheers.
If just now, His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun was still the invincible commander who swept across the Xiongnu and pacified Hexi, but at this moment, Zhao Ying was like a god who suddenly stepped down from the altar. Instead, they were in awe and worship. , gave birth to an unprecedented sense of intimacy.
