Han Xin led several soldiers and rushed into the private room with a solemn expression.
Originally, Zhao Hao asked him to lead troops to greet the neighbors of the bookstore, but he thought it was a bit strange. After all, this approach was too high-profile, and it was not in line with the status of Prince Zhao Hao.
But when he came to the bookstore, the bookstore owner told him what he had just been teased, and he suddenly changed his mind.
This damn thing is too arrogant.
He didn't expect that someone would actually dare to cause trouble blatantly, so he led people to search here.
But when he saw Chen Ping and Xiao He in the box, he was confused again.
These two white-faced scholars don’t look like scoundrels who like to cause trouble!
Forget it, never mind, ask clearly first before talking.
After thinking for a moment, Han Xin immediately asked with a cold face: "Which one of you is Xiao He?!"
"this"
Xiao He and Chen Ping looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
They were also shocked by the sudden appearance of Han Xin.
Thinking of what they just said, fear suddenly came to their hearts, and beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads at the same time.
If this person is regarded as a rebel, he will probably die.
However, compared to Chen Ping, who has never seen much of the world, Xiao He is obviously more mature and steady.
He took a careful look at Han Xin and the others, and when he saw that they didn't look like Hei Bingtai, who was hunting down a traitor, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked calmly: "May I ask, sergeant, what did you do?"
"oh?"
Han Xin narrowed his eyes: "Is your name Xiao He?"
"Yes, this is Xiao He!"
When Han Xin heard this, he frowned and said, "What did you do yourself and why do you want me to tell you?"
After saying that, he waved directly: "Come here, take it away!"
"Sir, wait!"
Seeing Han Xin take someone as he said, Chen Ping stood up and stopped him.
Han Xin glanced over with a cold look: "Who are you?"
"My Excellency, Chen Ping, is from Hufuyi. I am a scholar here to take part in the examination!" Chen Ping said politely.
"The examination for becoming an official is in Xianyang. If you don't stay in Xianyang to prepare for the examination, what are you doing in Yongcheng? Also, you said your name is Chen Ping?"
"Yes, this is Chen Ping. I came to Yongcheng because I heard that His Majesty is in Yongcheng."
"I remember now!"
Before Chen Ping could finish his words, Han Xin's face immediately darkened: "You are Xiao He's accomplice. You were the ones who caused trouble in the bookstore just now!"
Chen Ping: "."
Xiao He: "."
The two looked at each other and saw the words 'false alarm' in each other's eyes.
It turns out that these Qin troops are not here to catch the rebels, but because of what happened at the bookstore just now.
However, the two of us were just joking with the bookstore owner, why did he take it seriously? And you even reported it to the police?
What the hell is this!
It’s so depressing!
However, Han Xin ignored the depression of Xiao He and the two. Seeing that they were silent, he thought they had confessed, so he waved his hand again: "Come here, take them away together!"
"Sergeant is aware of this!"
When he heard that he was about to be taken away, Xiao He panicked and quickly handed over his hand: "This is all a misunderstanding. We didn't mean to cause trouble. That book was not suitable for us, so we didn't buy it!"
After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not regarded as a rebel, there was room for maneuver in everything.
After all, it was indeed a misunderstanding.
But Chen Ping on the side was very dissatisfied: "Yes, sergeant, we didn't want to cause trouble. We just went to the bookstore to browse. The bookstore didn't say that you have to buy before you can enter. You can't buy or sell by force, right? This is not in line with the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Law."
"snort!"
Han Xin snorted coldly: "Whether the talisman conforms to the laws of the Qin Dynasty is not yours to say. You will know after you go to the Yamen with me!"
"Sergeant, this is really a misunderstanding. I am the chief official of Pei County. I was transferred to Xianyang by order of the Prime Minister's Office."
When Xiao He saw that Han Xin was determined to catch him, he couldn't help but bite his teeth and directly reveal his identity.
He hoped that Han Xin would be more liberal for the sake of his colleagues.
But after hearing what he said, Han Xin's expression became even more embarrassing: "As a court official, he did not lead by example and actually insulted the head of Guizhou. I really don't know how the Prime Minister's Office selects people. When His Majesty returns from the Eastern Tour, I will definitely impeach the Prime Minister's Office to know people." unknown!"
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to identify himself:
"This general is the acting guard, Han Xin. Although this case is not under my control, I am in charge of the defense of Yongcheng under His Majesty's order. I have the authority to bypass the Yongcheng government office and be responsible for all major matters in Yongcheng!"
"this"
Xiao He and Chen Ping were stunned on the spot.
They never expected that the identity of the visitor was so extraordinary.
He was actually a Weiwei, one of the Nine Lords.
Even if the other party is just a acting guard, they are not someone they can underestimate.
And this man looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, how could he be in such a high position?
Han Xin? I have never heard of such a general in Da Qin!
In the Qin State, all those who can serve as guards are generals with outstanding military exploits.
After all, since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State has abandoned the way of obtaining titles based on 'bloodline', and all titles are based on military merit.
Such a young guard was something they had never heard of or seen.
Could it be
Have times really changed?
Xiao He and Chen Ping had such an idea in their minds at the same time.
But Han Xin ignored them and decisively ordered people to escort them out of the tavern.
The two of them knew that this trip would be uneventful and did not resist.
In this way, the famous 'Two Heroes' in history met in such an embarrassing way.
Interestingly, Han Xin in history was also arrested by Xiao He's troops.
This method now feels a bit like "offensive and defensive changes".
However, things like fate may not disappear even if history changes.
Maybe they met in another way.
On the other side, while Han Xin was arresting Xiao He, Liu Bang and others, who were "heroes saving the beauty" on the street, were talking and laughing around Qi Ji.
"Oh, by the way, why are you, a little girl, running out alone without your family by your side?"
Liu Bang saw that Qi Ji was getting acquainted with Fan Kuai and others, and she was no longer as restrained as before. He seemed to remember something and asked her.
Qi Ji, who was chatting and laughing just now, suddenly darkened her eyes when she heard Liu Bang's words. She bit her teeth lightly, lowered her head, and tightly grasped the corners of her clothes.
Seeing this, Fan Kuai said to Liu Bang with some dissatisfaction: "Liu San'er, why are you asking so many questions? What, you still want to take Miss Qi in?"
"That's right, you already have a sister-in-law from the Lu family, don't be too greedy!"
Lu Wan agreed with a smile.
The other people also started to boo.
If it had been anyone else, his face would have been full of embarrassment at this moment, but Liu Bang didn't care and said with a ruthless tone: "A man, having three wives and four concubines is normal. If you have the ability, you can do it. If you don't have the ability, the widow won't bother to care about you!" "
"Look!"
Fan Kuai jumped up and said, "I knew that there was a reason why Liu San'er went to Widow Cao's house to eat and drink for free. Widow Cao must have taken a fancy to her!"
"Hahaha--!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Liu Bang also laughed.
But when he saw Qi Ji sitting opposite him from the corner of his eye, tears gathered in his beautiful eyes. He quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and comforted Qi Ji: "Qi Ji, don't be angry, they are all joking. I, Liu Bang, am a serious person. Not a libertine."
"No, Chief Liu Ting, Qi Ji is thinking of her mother."
Qi Ji lowered her head, wiping her tears while answering Liu Bang in a whisper as quiet as a mosquito.
Liu Bang was stunned and subconsciously looked at Fan Kuai and others.
Fan Kuai and others looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
But I heard Cao Shen say sincerely: "Miss Qi, if you need any help from us, just ask!"
"Yes, Miss Qi, it's fate that we get together, we can talk about anything!"
"Don't be afraid, Miss Qi. With us here, no scoundrel dares to bully you!"
"That's right! If Liu San'er hadn't stopped him, I would have beaten that scoundrel to death!"
".Thank you brothers"
Hearing everyone's kind words and advice, Qi Ji felt warm in her heart and quickly stood up to salute.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, neither stopping nor saying anything, they just waited quietly for Qi Ji to tell her about her situation.
Qi Ji calmed down and said in a low voice: "My family lives in Dingtao, East County, and my father serves in the army. His Majesty unified the six countries and divided the world into thirty-six counties. My father was transferred to Chencang to serve;
I originally planned to go to Chencang, but His Majesty visited east and other important roads were blocked. I had no choice but to come to Yongcheng and wait for the main roads to be unblocked."
Speaking of this, her voice gradually began to choke; "But my mother was seriously ill at home, and only my younger brother and I were left at home, unable to take care of my mother, so I thought about going to Chencang to find my father."
I see!
No wonder she dared to risk coming here alone. It turned out that her mother was sick.
However, this place is thousands of miles away from Dongjun. How did she come here?
Seemingly sensing the doubts in everyone's minds, Qi Ji continued: "A new newspaper office has been opened in Dingtao, and a newsboy is sent to read the newspaper in the village pavilion every day. That day, I heard the newsboy said that the newspaper office would go to Xianyang in late every month. ink for printing newspapers;
He asked someone to find the newspaper director and explained his situation and hoped to follow the convoy to Xianyang. The director learned that my father was serving in the army, so he readily agreed."
"Oh, I know this. The newspaper office does go to Xianyang to sell ink. I helped do it once!"
Xia Houying suddenly understood.
Everyone nodded slowly.
But Liu Bang said again: "Is the newspaper's convoy also stranded in Yongcheng?"
"Yes, I just went out to buy food and got separated from them."
"Then what position does your father hold in Chencang?"
"I don't know about this either."
Qi Ji shook her head and said, "Before my father left, he only told me and my younger brother to take care of our mother, and said he would come back to see us at the end of the year!"
"It's all my fault that my younger brother and I didn't take good care of our mother, which caused her to relapse. I and I are so useless."
Speaking of the sad part, Qi Ji was so excited that tears fell down again.
"Okay, stop crying. Crying won't solve the problem. Didn't you come to Yongcheng? This is not far from Chencang. When the ban is lifted tomorrow, how about we accompany you to find your father?" Liu Bang comforted.
"ah?"
Qi Ji was stunned, and then looked at Liu Bang with surprise on her face: "Is what Ting Zhang Liu said true? Are you really willing to help me?!"
She had been frightened by scoundrels before and no longer dared to go on the road alone.
Now that I think about coming to such a far place alone, I can't help but feel scared.
But Liu Bang smiled warmly and waved his hands: "It's nothing, we have nothing to do anyway."
"Cough, cough"
Before Liu Bang finished speaking, Cao Shen on the side quickly coughed twice to remind him about meeting Zhao Hao.
But he seemed not to have heard anything, looked at Qi Ji seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will help you!"
"But."
Qi Ji blinked her beautiful eyes, not daring to look at Liu Bang. She lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes with her two delicate hands and said, "Qi Ji has nothing to repay you with."
"Haha, we are all foreigners. Naturally, we have to help each other out. If we don't talk about repaying anything in return, then we have to go abroad. We have a long time to come!"
Liu Bang smiled and waved.
Fan Kuai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we will talk about it later!"
"."
Liu Bang was speechless and was about to change the subject when he suddenly heard Xia Houying ask unexpectedly: "I have nothing to say, Miss Qi, but how are we going to stay tonight?"
"this"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
But Qi Ji suddenly became embarrassed and uneasy.
All the people around him are men
She was a woman spending the night with a group of men. If this spread, I'm afraid she would be stabbed in the spine!
"Where else can you stay? Of course it's an inn. There are so many rooms upstairs. Are you worried that you won't have anywhere to stay?"
Liu Bang glared at Xia Houying angrily, and then said to Qi Ji: "Don't worry, Miss Qi, we are not that kind of people. If you are worried, you can live somewhere else, and we will come find you tomorrow."
After saying that, he was ready to get up and take everyone upstairs.
Are you kidding me? There is no woman that I, Liu Saner, cannot win!
Sure enough, seeing Liu Bang and others about to leave, Qi Ji suddenly looked anxious and whispered to Liu Bang: "Liu Ting, wait a minute!"
"Um?"
Liu Bang paused and turned around with a puzzled face: "What else can Miss Qi do?"
"The little girl of Liu Tingzhang was alone and helpless. Fortunately, Liu Tingzhang and the brothers rescued her, and asked Liu Tingzhang to take her in."
After saying this, Qi Ji's lips were almost bleeding from being bitten, and her cheeks were red.
A hint of a treacherous smile appeared on the corner of Liu Bang's lips, and it disappeared in an instant, and then he said to Xia Houying:
"Xia Houying, you and Fan Kuai sleep in the same room, and give the room to Miss Qi!"
"No, why should it be me?"
Xia Houying was a little dissatisfied and was about to argue with Liu Bang. Fan Kuai on the side quickly put his arms around his neck and comforted him with a smile:
"Okay, okay, listen to Liu San'er, let's go and sleep with me."
"You butcher, you are so far away from where I started, you smell like a dog!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.
Qi Ji was no longer shy and followed Liu Bang into a room.
at the same time.
In the corner of the inn not far from Liu Bang and others, there was a young man with an indifferent expression, watching them go upstairs without blinking.
After they disappeared from his sight, he slowly stood up and walked towards the door.
As soon as they arrived outside the door, three men in gray robes rushed over and reported to him: "Chief Guard, we have found out clearly that they are foreigners from Pei County, and the leading man is the chief of the pavilion escorting the guards. , surnamed Liu!"
"Oh, I see."
The young man responded calmly and asked, "Does the young master know about this?"
"My subordinates just sent someone to report to the young master. The young master said, let us figure it out. He only wants that woman!"
A leader in gray robe cupped his hands and said.
The young man nodded and immediately ordered: "Gather people immediately and teach them a lesson tonight!"
"promise."
The three men in gray robes agreed in unison and quickly left the inn.
Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
Thanks for promising a reward of 900 for one blood.
