"Hey, I'm so hungry. When will this kind of day end!"
On a dilapidated street in Huaiyin County, a tall young man with a handsome face was walking aimlessly.
Although he was dressed in rags, his back bones were straight. The long sword on his back was also so dazzling, proving that this young man was a down-and-out noble.
People around the street cast unkind glances from time to time.
There is contempt, disgust, and hatred, but mostly jealousy.
Whether it was before the unification of Qin or after the unification of Qin, people were not allowed to wear weapons at will.
Therefore, this young man wearing a weapon can easily give people a feeling of superiority.
After all, this young man was dressed in rags and looked almost like a beggar.
No matter how you look at a beggar wearing a sword that can only be owned by a noble, it makes people uncomfortable.
But the young man didn't care about the attention of everyone because he was used to such treatment.
His parents died young, and he could only rely on occasional donations from neighbors and fishing in the river every day to avoid starving to death.
But today, for some reason, his neighbors, who had always been friendly to him, suddenly kicked him out of the house and made bad words to him, saying they would never give him a free meal again.
There was really no other way, so he could only go to the fishing place, find a Huan woman who often helped him, and get some food.
But when he came to the creek, he quickly got bad news.
But I heard a neighbor of Huan Po say to the young man: "Han Xin, why are you here? Huan Po is sick, do you know?"
"What?"
Han Xin was stunned and said quickly: "Mr. Huan is sick? Is it serious?"
"I don't know! I heard that I got a cold and a high fever that won't go away. I don't know if I can get through it!"
"this...."
Han Xin felt uncomfortable and had a strong sense of grievance, which almost forced him to burst into tears.
He didn't know why, why God wanted to do this to him!
My parents died when I was young, and I was looked down upon by everyone around me. The only one who treated me like my own son, Granny Huan, was so unfortunate. Could I really be the disaster that everyone said?
Han Xin bit back secretly, holding back the tears that came from his eyes, and decided to do something for Huan Po.
The poor in this era simply cannot afford to see a doctor. Even if they are sick, they can only lie down at home and rely on their own immunity to survive various illnesses.
Of course, there are also those who cannot resist and die.
Although Han Xin was poor and had no money to treat Huan Po, he heard that people should eat something good when they are sick, which can help them cope with the pain.
So, he suppressed his hunger and trotted all the way to the butcher's stall on the corner. He bowed to the butcher and said, "Brother, can you lend me a piece of meat on credit? Granny Huan has been very kind to me. Now she is sick. I want her to have a good meal and recover as soon as possible!"
The butcher was a strong man with a sinister face. He was related to the magistrate of Huaiyin County and often traveled around the countryside, and his friends on the road gave him some bad reviews.
He glanced at Han Xin sideways, chuckled, and shouted: "If you want to eat for free, just say so. What are you talking about to repay the favor to Granny Huan? Who here doesn't know that you, Han Xin, are freeloaders?!"
As soon as these words came out, a group of people quickly gathered around and pointed at Han Xin.
"Hey, isn't this Han Xin? You want to come here to eat and drink again?"
"Look at how tall this guy is. He doesn't learn well and wants to cheat people out of him. He's really an embarrassment to his neighbors and fellow villagers!"
"That's right. Fortunately, I stopped helping him a long time ago. This kid is nothing..."
"Isn't that right? I carry a long sword on my back every day, eat and drink from my family, and still pretend to be a noble..."
Hearing the sarcasm around him, Han Xin couldn't help but blush. He was in his twenties and had a hot-blooded personality. How could he not be angry when he was belittled by everyone? But thinking about the purpose of coming here, he suppressed his anger. , explained awkwardly:
"I...I'm not here to cheat for meat...Huan Po has been very kind to me.
I just want to repay her... I can help her for free, please lend me a piece of meat..."
"What I say is true, you have to believe me..."
"I believe you?"
The butcher sneered, held the boning knife, walked up to Han Xin, looked around him, and said: "Your body is suitable for a helper, but these days, everything is lacking, except for helpers!"
"but."
As he spoke, he changed the topic and continued: "I can introduce you to the Water Tiger Gang, they are short of a few thugs!"
"Don't go!"
Han Xin decisively rejected the other party.
The so-called Water Tiger Gang is actually a group of water pirates who rob merchant ships in the fish and meat village on the shore. They are inextricably related to the Huaiyin County Magistrate and this butcher.
Although Han Xin was poor, he never did anything illegal. He had a bottom line that he insisted on.
When the butcher saw that Han Xin was unwilling to join the Water Tiger Gang, he was not angry. He looked at the long sword on his back and said with a half-smile, "It's okay if you don't join the Water Tiger Gang. Let's do this. Give me the sword on your back. I'll How about giving you a piece of meat?"
"this...."
Han Xin subconsciously held the hilt of the sword with a hesitant look on his face. After a moment, he slowly shook his head.
This long sword was the only relic left to him by his father, and it was also the family's past glory. He could not part with it no matter what.
Seeing that it was impossible to deceive people or defraud money, the butcher suddenly became a little angry. He lifted up his long skirt directly under his crotch and said viciously:
"I can't do this, I don't want to do that either. Damn it, don't you want to eat meat? Come on! Get under my crotch and I'll give you meat to eat!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Hahaha! ***Han Xin, you usually pretend to be cool and carry a broken sword. You think you are better. If you have the ability, just take advantage of it!"
"you!"
When Han Xin heard the butcher's words, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and pulled out the long sword from his back.
Who would have thought that the butcher was not afraid and laughed instead: "Hey, it's quite bloody. Come on, come and chop me!"
"Although you are tall and like to carry a sword, you are actually a coward. If you are not afraid of death, just slash me with your sword or turn it around my crotch!"
His voice was very loud, which immediately attracted more people to watch, and these people started to make noises without taking it too seriously.
"Come and see, this coward Han Xin dares to draw his sword!"
"I think he is just bluffing, he will definitely get into his pants later..."
"I heard that Butcher Zhang's pants haven't been washed for half a year. They are so sexy!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter and shouted: "Drill quickly! Drill quickly!"
"this...."
Hearing the commotion around him, Han Xin's mind went blank.
He never thought that his kindness in repaying his kindness would lead to such a situation.
Where has he seen this situation before? Everyone was confused!
But I heard the butcher Zhang still shouting with great satisfaction:
"Come and chop me! Come and chop me! Come and chop me if you can!"
"If you don't fucking cut me, I'll kill you!"
"..."
Facing Butcher Zhang's repeated provocations, Han Xin's face turned the color of pig liver.
The hilt of the sword in his hand was getting tighter and tighter, but he still didn't dare to make a move.
No one from the crowd booing around him stood up to help him.
Because they all wanted to see how this down-and-out nobleman would be bullied.
Having been oppressed by nobles and bullied for a long time, they are more or less twisted in their hearts. This situation can satisfy their bad taste very well, so they all enjoy it.
And a certain figure at the corner of the street was covering her mouth, looking at Han Xin helplessly, with tears constantly pouring out.
That was Han Xin's childhood sweetheart who had a crush on him for a long time and grew up with him.
At this moment, Han
Xin's heart was in agony, and his body couldn't help but tremble. He tightly held the sword in his hand, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
A scholar cannot be humiliated by killing him. If he kills this man and chops off his head, even if he dies, he cannot be humiliated by his crotch!
Impossible, I can't kill him. I've been hungry for several days and I feel dizzy even when I walk. I'm no match for him!
But.....
If I kill him, according to the laws of Qin, I will die. Do I really want to risk my life in vain for such a fool? Is it worth it?
No!
I must not die like this, I want to live, I want everyone in the world to know me, Han Xin! I, Han Xin, am not a coward! I, Han Xin, am a man!
A real man should be able to bend and stretch, and build unparalleled achievements!
A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and Han Xin suddenly had an idea. He bit his lip hard, and his expression remained unchanged even if blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He raised his head and glanced at Butcher Zhang. Without saying a word, he knelt down with a "pop" sound.
His face was terrifyingly calm, and his tall body was upright even when he was kneeling.
He slowly lay forward, facing Butcher Zhang's spread legs.
"Drill in quickly! Drill in quickly!"
Butcher Zhang laughed wildly and looked at Han Xin with contempt.
The onlookers around, as if they had been given a shot of blood, were shouting with red eyes: "Get in there quickly! Get in there quickly! There will be meat to eat!"
"Hahaha--!"
Everyone laughed again.
Some bad guys even kicked Han Xin's butt secretly.
Han Xin's calm expression became extremely distorted due to excessive suppression, and tears fell to the ground drop by drop. He did not roar, but gritted his teeth and bent his knees to move forward.
"ah--!"
Just then, a scream broke through the surrounding noise.
Everyone followed the sound.
I saw a flash of white light, disappearing from the crotch of Butcher Zhang, and suddenly there was blood like a pillar.
Butcher Zhang's face turned pale and his whole body was twisted.
Before anyone could react, the sound of fractures was heard again, and those who secretly kicked Han Xin's butt were seen clutching their calves in pain and falling to the ground.
"this...."
Han Xin raised his head blankly, looking at the situation in front of him with a bewildered expression.
Suddenly, a generous palm pressed on his shoulder, and he said with a smile: "How can a man of seven feet be humiliated? A man must stand upright!"
After saying that, he looked at the butcher fiercely: "Didn't you let someone chop you? This is the first time I've heard of such a request!"
His voice was loud, like thunder, suddenly spreading around.
The people watching around him quickly came to their senses and looked around. They couldn't help but be curious. Who is this person in front of them? How dare he commit murder on the street?
The person who came was none other than the envoy sent by Yang Duanhe to look for Han Xin. This man was unusually tall, bigger than Han Xin, and had a dark complexion, like the ancestor of Li Kui.
But he saw him taking three steps at a time and then two steps at a time, quickly passed Han Xin, came to Zhang Butcher, and shouted: "Evil thief! Take your life!"
"stop--!"
Just when the envoy was about to pick up his sword and kill Butcher Zhang, a group of Qin soldiers sprang out from the crowd.
"A bold maniac dares to commit murder on the street. Someone, come here and capture him!"
A middle-aged man who looked like an army officer gave the order without saying a word.
The envoy's eyes were focused, and he took out a token without hesitation and shouted: "The Lieutenant's Mansion is running, who dares to stop it?"
"Lieutenant's Mansion?"
The middle-aged officer was suddenly startled and subconsciously raised his hand.
The Qin army, which was about to arrest the envoy, quickly stopped.
As soon as they heard the noise, they appeared nearby.
Because Butcher Zhang was somewhat related to the magistrate of Huaiyin County and was usually arrogant and domineering, even they did not dare to offend him easily.
As for Han
Xin, apart from being tall and fond of wearing long swords, was just an ordinary down-and-out nobleman. As long as no lives were lost on either side, they were too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs.
But now, Butcher Zhang was stabbed by a sudden strong man, and his life was even in danger. They could no longer sit idly by and had no choice but to come out to "enforce the law impartially."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
"Huh? No, nothing..."
Han Xin reacted for a moment, waved his hand quickly, and then handed it over again: "Han Xin, thank you for your generous help, sir!"
"Hahaha, you are indeed Han Xin!"
The messenger suddenly laughed and patted Han Xin on the shoulder, his face full of joy.
Han Xin grinned when he slapped him, but he still endured the discomfort and said bravely: "From what the superior officer said, do you think I know you?"
"More than just knowing each other, I came to Huaiyin specifically to find you!"
"Find me?"
Han Xin was a little surprised.
The messenger grinned and said with a smile, "My name is Yang Hu. I am Lieutenant Yang Duan and his subordinate Qian Niu. This time, I was ordered by Lieutenant Yang to come to Huaiyin County to look for a man named Han Xin. It is said that he is lazy, lazy, and has no learning ability." He is very good at martial arts, and is often helped by a grandmother who washes her clothes..."
As he said that, he looked up at Han Xin, only to see that Han Xin's face was red with embarrassment, almost dripping with water. He couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahaha, it's you, that's right!"
"..."
Han Xin was speechless, thinking, are you polite?
However, before Han Xin could speak, Yang Hu said to himself: "You have also seen what happened just now. I have other things to do, so you will go to Xianyang with my subordinates. When you arrive in Xianyang, you will Someone arranged for you!"
"But Han... he hasn't decided to leave here yet..."
"I can't even afford to eat, so why are you so embarrassed? Is it possible that I'm going to be a coward here for the rest of my life?"
"I...."
Han Xin opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Yang Hu was impatient. Seeing Han Xin's hesitation, he couldn't help but look around and reminded in a low voice: "To be honest, it was Young Master Hao who asked Lieutenant Yang to help him find you. You don't know where your luck came from to be able to make Young Master Hao Ji, the future is destined to be bright..."
"Gongzi Hao?"
Han Xin was even more surprised.
Although he didn't know who Young Master Hao was, he knew he was Ying Zheng's son.
Ying Zheng had many sons, but only two are known to the world, namely Hu Hai and Fu Su.
As for Young Master Hao, it seems that he has never heard of it.
It's impossible for him to have any interaction with him, so how did he know about him?
Also, it is obviously not easy to instruct a lieutenant, one of the Nine Qings, to find someone for him.
What is the purpose of such a real big shot looking for me?
"Okay, I've told you what I should tell you and what I shouldn't tell you. It's up to you whether to go or not. Anyway, the opportunity is right in front of you!"
Yang Hu smiled freely.
Han Xin frowned slightly.
I thought that I was familiar with military books and knew how to use troops, but I had no use for them.
I have been living in poverty every day, receiving all kinds of cold looks and humiliation, often being hungry but not eating meat, and almost being humiliated by my crotch. Now I finally get a chance. If I don't prove myself, how can I let it go?
No matter what Young Master Hao wants, he has to find out!
Otherwise, if you stay here, you will never get ahead.
Having made up his mind, Han Xin bowed respectfully to Yang Hu: "Then I'll help Yang Qianniu!"
"Okay, okay...just promise!"
Yang Hu nodded with satisfaction, and then comforted Han Xin:
"You don't need to worry when you go to Xianyang. I'll take care of you here. I've asked the doctor to treat that Huan Granny, so you don't need to worry!"
"Thank you Yang Qianniu!"
Han Xin was overjoyed and saluted Yang Hu again, while a stone fell in his heart.
.......
In the small courtyard of Xianyang, Han Xin recalled the past and couldn't help but look at Zhao Hao deeply, and couldn't help but curiously said:
"Sir, I wonder why you sent someone to look for Han?"
"I knew you were asking this!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "To be honest, I am interested in your military skills and want to use you as my own to achieve unparalleled achievements!"
"this...."
Han Xin was shocked and thought to himself: How could this be possible?
Only he knows his attainments in the art of war, and outsiders have no way of knowing.
Although I firmly believe that one day I will be invincible if I show what I have learned in my heart, but I have never used soldiers and have never fought in a war. These are what I think. It is impossible for outsiders to use me because I have confidence. You still have self-awareness.
But Gongzi Hao seems to believe in himself. Why?
Full of doubts in his heart, Han Xin did not dare to ask more questions, so he could only answer modestly: "I have some insights into the art of war..."
"hehe."
Zhao Hao smiled jokingly: "I still like your unruly look just now!"
Han Xin: "..."
Zhao Hao: "..."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a long while, Zhao Hao sighed and said with emotion:
"When you don't have the strength, whatever you do is wrong!"
"So just be silent and cherish your low times. When you are low, everything is true!"
"Son..."
Han Xin trembled all over and felt a sore nose.
This sentence simply spoke to his heart.
"Young Master appreciates and trusts me, and I will keep it in my heart!"
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. There is something important right now. I need your help. It's a mule or a horse. Just take it out for a walk and you will know. Don't you want a chance? I'll give it to you!
As long as you seize this opportunity, your future achievements will never be inferior to anyone else! "
Zhao Hao smiled and said something, and walked slowly towards the door. Before going out, he stopped again and said solemnly:
"Being from a humble background is not a shame. Being able to bend and stretch makes you a husband. I am very optimistic about you and I hope you will not disappoint me!"
After saying that, he walked out of the room, leaving Han Xin alone in a daze.
he.....
How come he knows everything?
What kind of person is he? !
.......
Please give me a monthly ticket!
