As expected, Xiang Shaolong fell into the Sanglin Village of Zhao State and fainted after saving the beautiful Canniang who was about to be insulted by a bully.
When Xiang Shaolong woke up again, looking at the blue sky that he had never seen before, and breathing the fresh air that he had never breathed before, he knew that he had successfully traveled through time.
In the silent valley, looking at the beautiful woman in ancient costume washing clothes leisurely beside the clear stream, Xiang Shaolong guessed that this must be Mei Canniang, the first woman Xiang Shaolong has met since time travel.
The beauty heard the voice behind her and turned around to see Xiang Shaolong walking over. She quickly put down the laundry in her hands, turned around and walked towards Xiang Shaolong, and asked: "You're awake! Where did you come from? "
Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand it clearly, he could probably guess what it meant.
Xiang Shaolong replied: "I'm Xiang Shaolong, you're from Zhao State. What's your name?"
The beauty didn't understand either, so the two of them just made guesses and started chatting with gestures and body language. As the communication gradually became smoother, the current situation became clear.
The beauty in ancient costume is indeed the beautiful Canniang. Her two husbands died in the Battle of Changping nine years ago, which means that this year is 251 BC, five years before Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, and Qin Shi Huang is still in Zhao State. In other words, as of now, it is very consistent with the original plot and there is no deviation.
Mei Canniang said to Xiang Shaolong: "My family prays to God every day, asking her to give me a husband. Just when I was most helpless, God opened my eyes and dropped you to my family. My family is very happy. From now on, You are the husband of Beautiful Canniang."
Xiang Shaolong knows that the status of women in this era is extremely low, like goods. If they want to survive, they can only rely on strong men. Although Mei Canniang had some affection for him, the real reason why she threw herself into his arms was that she wanted a strong man to protect her. This was a need for survival, not for love.
Huang Yi's original work not only contains unbridled imagination, but also magnificent historical scenes. The mere introduction of the concept of "travel" gives the novel "Xun Qin Ji" a high status. Perhaps due to the pursuit of commercialization, excessive erotic descriptions have become a major feature of Huang Yi's works. Xiang Shaolong is portrayed as a swinger who wants to have sex with a woman whenever he sees one and won't refuse anyone who comes. The "xia" flavor in martial arts is getting weaker and weaker, while the "martial arts" is still low, and the martial arts ability is not high. However, due to the emergence of the theme of "time travel", this work shifted from martial arts to fantasy.
In the original work, Xiang Shaolong naturally pushed him directly to Mei Canniang, and when he left, Mei Canniang did not dare to leave with Xiang Shaolong because she was afraid of the cunning society outside, and stayed alone in Mulberry Village.
But now Xiang Shaolong doesn't want to do this. If Mei Canniang can't leave Mulberry Village with him, it's better not to have any emotional entanglements. Xiang Shaolong is not like Liu Xiahui, who can stay calm in his arms, but a habit developed over many years.
When Xiang Shaolong was preparing to time travel, he knew that he would completely cut off ties with that world, so he never had deep emotional exchanges with anyone. Even his parents were relatively cold, let alone women.
Xiang Shaolong said: "I'm going to HD, do you want to come with me?"
Mei Canniang whispered: "People in the city are very treacherous. I'm afraid the Nu family won't be used to that kind of life."
Xiang Shaolong said: "I can protect you."
Mei Canniang said sadly: "The people living in Mulberry Village are all good people, and their lives are abundant and getting better year by year. How about we live here and be happy until we die of old age, while the slave family will bear children for you, isn't it?" Is it better?"
Xiang Shaolong sighed, he had been preparing hard for many years, not to return to this poor and backward era and become a farmer. Prepare yourself to experience this changing era, participate in history, and even create your own history.
Xiang Shaolong said: "I can't stay here. I still have very important things to do and I need to go to HD as soon as possible."
Mei Canniang burst into tears. She thought she finally had someone to rely on, but in the end she didn't have the courage to leave Sanglin Village with Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong took a look and realized that since Mei Canniang decided to stay and did not intend to leave with him, he must not provoke her, lest she would be hard to leave. Immediately, Xiang Shaolong packed his bags and left Sanglin Village.
Xiang Shaolong first ran along the road to the market. When he arrived at the market, there were more and more pedestrians. People came here to buy and sell various goods. There are also many warriors riding fast horses with iron swords hanging from their waists going back and forth in the market.
Xiang Shaolong's current plan is to rush to HD as soon as possible to rescue Qin Shihuang and Zhu Ji (Qin Shihuang's biological mother did not leave her name. Because she was born in Zhao State, historians call her Zhao Ji. In order to respect the original work, she will be called Zhu Ji from now on), using this as a springboard. , Entering the political center of Qin State in order to achieve his goal of rapid prosperity. He remembered that the real Qin Shihuang was fostered by Zhu Ji in a poor farmer's family near HD City. When the Yan people attacked HD a year later, he was drafted to defend the city and died from a stray arrow.
In the original work, Xiang Shaolong had no choice but to choose his disciple Zhao Pan to impersonate Qin Shihuang. This was certainly a stroke of genius, which greatly strengthened the relationship between Xiang Shaolong and Qin Shihuang, making him the most important person Qin Shihuang relied on after returning to Qin. However, this also paved the way for the future break between the two. The discord between the two in the later period was certainly due to the fact that as Zhao Pan grew up and his self-awareness strengthened, the two had different opinions and the conflict deepened day by day.
However, there is another more important reason. As Zhao Pan transforms into Qin Shihuang, the imperial consciousness awakens, and Xiang Shaolong holds the major secret of his true identity. For an emperor like Qin Shihuang, it is absolutely intolerable. Even if they have no conflicts, their relationship will not end well. In order to eliminate Xiang Shaolong's influence, Qin Shihuang did not hesitate to burn books and humiliate Confucian scholars. Mastering the secret of Qin Shihuang's true identity is Xiang Shaolong's biggest crime.
Now Xiang Shaolong has no last resort and does not want to take this tack. It is best to rescue the real Qin Shihuang.
Looking at the bustling crowds in the market, there are all kinds of vendors and goons. Among them, there is the largest caravan in front of the largest stone house. It buys horses at high prices and attracts many horse dealers. This caravan consists of more than a dozen well-dressed men, and their clothes are much more gorgeous than those of the surrounding farmers. One of them was about forty years old. He was dressed in fine clothes and had an extraordinary appearance. He should be their leader.
Xiang Shaolong looked aside for a while, and then attracted the attention of the man in fine clothes. There is really no way not to attract attention, Xiang Shaolong's figure is so outstanding. Standing in the crowd at a height of 1.95 meters, he really stands out from the crowd. Even the tallest person among the people around him is half a head shorter than him, and his figure is well-proportioned and toned. His muscles without a trace of excess fat are neither thin nor swollen, making him look very strong. His skin is slightly darker, exuding health. She has a beautiful luster, broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, a face with Chinese characters, sharp edges, a high nose bridge, sharp eyes, and short broken hair that is obviously different from those around her. Although she is dressed in ordinary clothes, she still attracts many people. gaze.
After seeing Xiang Shaolong, the leader of the horse-buying caravan secretly cheered: "What a big man!"
He asked his men to take care of the horse trading, then he walked up to Xiang Shaolong, clasped his fists in his hands and said, "I am Tao Fang, one of the twelve servants of Mr. Wushiluo. I have traveled all over the country for many years, but I have never seen him before." If a man of the stature of a strong man comes over to chat for a while out of curiosity, a strong man should not be blamed for being abrupt."
When Xiang Shaolong heard this, he knew that this was the man from Wushi Ranch, the livestock king of Zhao State. Wuzhi Ranch has a large number of people and a wealth that rivals that of the country. It will be the most important help for him in this era.
So he also cupped his fists and answered: "Mr. Tao, you are very polite. I am Xiang Shaolong, who is from Sanglin Village not far away."
Tao Fang said: "Brother Xiang doesn't look like an ordinary farmer. I wonder if Brother Xiang has learned martial arts?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled faintly and said, "I practiced some crop tricks and made Manager Tao laugh."
Tao Fang heard that although he spoke modestly, his indifferent expression told him that this man should be very confident in his martial arts. I have been working in the field for many years and have met countless people, so I believe that I will not make mistakes.
So he said, "Brother Xiang, are you here to trade any goods?"
Xiang Shaolong shook his head and replied: "I want to leave here and plan to go to HD to make a career and find a future."
After Tao Fang heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Uncle Wu's ranch is in HD. It is the largest ranch in Zhao State and has strong strength. Why don't Brother Xiang join my caravan and go back to HD with me to meet Uncle Wu? Brother’s talents will definitely be put to good use.”
Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "That's fine. I wonder how long it will take to get to HD?"
Tao Fang replied: "A fast horse can reach it in ten days, but if we go like this, we have to buy horses and beauties along the way. It will take at least a month to travel."
Xiang Shaolong didn't miss this little time and said: "Then there is Manager Lao Tao."
Tao Fang said: "Brother Xiang, you're welcome, please come with me."
Xiang Shaolong then entered Tao Fang's caravan. After a busy day, the horses have gained a lot. In the evening, Tao Fang introduced Xiang Shaolong to other members of his caravan, and Xiang Shaolong was temporarily considered one of the bodyguards of the caravan. Tao Fang saw that his hands were empty, so he gave him an iron sword for self-defense.
Xiang Shaolong swung the iron sword a few times, but it didn't feel very smooth. He is tall, and the ordinary iron sword seems a bit short in his hand, and it feels light and light to use, which is far less smooth than the Miao Dao he made before. Moreover, the sword is only suitable for stabbing, not for slashing, while the Miao Dao takes into account the characteristics of both a knife and a gun, and can be used with one hand or both hands. He has worked hard on weapons like the Miao Dao and has achieved extraordinary achievements, but now the iron sword in his hand limits the power of his best swordsmanship. However, the samurai at this time all used swords and did not have knives, so they could only make do with it, thinking that they must build a useful weapon in the future.
