[Qin] Qin Shi

The young man got up, and casually pointed at the soldier of Zhao State who was seriously injured and fell to the ground behind him: "He is yours." He patted the dust on his body, took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers with disgust on his face. The sticky blood stained on the face, "It is not so easy to know the answer."

Zhao Zheng looked up at the young man, but in his heart he had a rough idea of ​​the man whose father had promised the lowest title of 'Five Hundred Masters': "You let that man go on purpose," although he arrived not early, but It is also possible to detect the anomaly that slipped away from the young man's effortless force to leave three lives behind, "You did it on purpose."

The young man who had accidentally done something bad and was discovered by the person involved did not panic because he was caught. In fact, in the darkness, his expression became more expectant.It's like a reader who originally only wanted to get the ending of the story, but accidentally discovered that there is a new story besides the story: "Even if I did it on purpose, what do you want?"

"I let the enemy go, do you want to punish me with Zhao's law? Do you want to punish me with Qin's law? Or do you plan to pretend that you didn't see anything?" Wu Xizhan's temperament was born in his bones. He was extremely active in the face of the unknown, looking at the little ghost who was only a few steps away from him, his tone could not hide his expectation.

The young man never expected that such a simple entrustment would allow him to encounter such an interesting thing.

Zhao Zheng, who always felt that something was wrong, turned his head slightly. He heard the youth's expectations, but his intuition told him that now is not a good time to answer questions.What happened to him now is very similar to what happened after he was rescued from the brown bear by Bai Shu: "It's not safe here, we should leave."

"It's very safe here," the young man didn't care about Zhao Zheng's 'reminder', "Even if someone chases him, one kills one, two kills one pair, he still has some skills. But if you are scared ," full of provocative laughter, "it's not impossible to leave here."

Zhao Zheng, who was commented like this, felt hostility in his heart, but the situation of being weaker than others made him subconsciously pretend to be himself: "I am not afraid, but I just don't bother to bully such disabled people." Zhao Zheng He was pursing his lips, as if he was afraid that the other party would ask again, "How do you know that I know martial arts?"

"That's another question, but Jian is in a good mood today." He cracked his lips and laughed, "If you don't have confidence in your heart, no matter how much you need Jian to take you to Xianyang, you will never dare to come and see by yourself And at this juncture, if you still remember to find a weapon for self-defense, you must have something to rely on."

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng tightly clenched the hilt of his sword with his fingertips: "Although you are still very unfamiliar and full of flaws, of course, the more important thing is that your movement of holding a weapon is the most labor-saving and effective way. You have learned it well. It needs to be worked hard." The young man praised, "It would be better if you have seen blood."

Zhao Zheng's gaze shifted to the Zhao soldiers who fell to the ground behind the young man.

"Are you scared?" The young man made way for Zhao Zheng so that he could walk in front of the soldiers. "It is said that the old Qin people were martial arts, and they would die without bleeding, but you can't see it at all." With arms crossed in front of his chest, The voice was full of banter, "But that's right, after all, it's from Zhao people..."

"I am from Qin!" Zhao Zheng couldn't wait to interrupt the young man's words, "I am from Qin." Compared with the first sentence, the tone of the second sentence is more serious and proud, but behind these pride, there is Even Zhao Zheng himself was unaware of the panic and worry, "I am from Qin."

It was also a coincidence that Zhao Zheng was born. When Changping was besieged by the power of victory in the Changping War, and he was about to take Handan, the capital of Zhao State, if it hadn’t been for King Pingyuan of Zhao State to ask for reinforcements from Chu State, King Zhao would have used The city that was supposed to be handed over to Qin was exchanged for the aid of Qi State, and even King Wei's was stolen and rescued by troops, so Zhao State had already become part of Qin State's territory.

However, it is precisely because of this that Zhao Ziqin paid a great price for his lingering life.In addition, during the war between Qin and Qin, the men of Zhao State, all young and old, went to battle, and then Bai Qi slaughtered Zhao Guojiang and killed many men on the battlefield. The hatred of Zhao people against Qin people was unprecedented.

Under this background, the proton of the Qin State is naturally difficult, and it is precisely because of this feeling that the stranger joined forces with Lu Buwei to deceive the Queen Mother Huayang and sneaked back to the Qin State, leaving only the pregnant Zhao Ji and her womb. child.After losing the eldest son, Zhao Ren's anger naturally shifted. Although it did not endanger his life, one can imagine the hardships of Zhao Ji's mother and son.

In this context, how much affection can Zhao Zheng have for Zhao Guo?But also, the country he belongs to, the country he has never been to, he has no sense of belonging: "Qin, what is it like?" Zhao Zheng asked with a sword in his hand, walking steadily towards the unconscious soldier. Said, "Is there a big gap with Zhao?"

"The gap," the young man only knew that Zhao Zheng might not be as good as the local son of Qin, but he never thought that his life was so difficult. He could hear Zhao Zheng's anger and dissatisfaction, but what was more in his heart was Looking at Zhao Zheng's instigation and anticipation when he clenched the hilt with both hands and held the sword high, "It's a world of difference."

What he was thinking once again got the answer from the mouths of others. The sword hanging in Zhao Zheng's hand paused for a moment in the air above the Zhao soldiers' necks, and he stabbed with force without hesitation.His movements were crisp and neat, without any hesitation or intolerance to kill others with his hands.

The young man stood aside and watched the sharp sword light pass through the fragile neck of the human being, watched the blood stain the ground in this black night, watched the child who was not much taller than the sword loosen his grip on the hilt and turned his head Looking at him, his eyes were amazingly bright: "You can tell me now," he said, "What's your name."

There was no fear of murder on the child's face, nor was there anxiety or hesitation.The moment the sword fell, what he cut off was not just the unlucky Zhao soldier in front of him, but something invisible to the naked eye that had entangled him for a longer time - now he just felt relaxed.

"Wang Jian," the young man replied, as if at this moment Zhao Zhengcai finally had the capital to make him look directly at him, "I owe someone a favor, so your father took care of me to escort you to Xianyang." Zhao Zheng's previous doubts were also answered.

Does Zhao Zheng look forward to Qin?

He couldn't say it, but he always thought that even if it was bad, it wouldn't be worse than his life in Zhao, right? Even though he already knew that he might face new problems when he returned to Qin, so what? .

It will never be worse than the current situation: "Wait to send me to Xianyang," Zhao Zheng looked at Wang Jian, "Are you going to join the army?"

"It's not that I want to join the army, young master." Wang Jian waved at the horse called 'Rabbit', "Don't you know that Qin's law stipulates that men in Qin must serve in the army since they come of age?"

This was the first time Zhaozheng heard about it, and he asked Wang Jian again, only to find out that men in Qin State were usually forced to participate in two military services, the first time as a general soldier, and the second time as a guard soldier.

The time to be an official soldier is only one year, and his main duty is to maintain the peace of the place, while the guard soldier refers to the regular army of the Qin Dynasty.In addition, combined with the actual situation at the time, there will be a policy of changing soldiers, such as joining the army immediately after being called.Of course, wanting to voluntarily enlist in the army is another situation.Therefore, no matter how old or young the people of Qin are, if they put down their farm tools, they are soldiers, and the whole people are soldiers.

"Furthermore, the laws of Qin are different from those of other countries," Wang Jian added. "Farmland is not allowed to be bought and sold, and it is returned to the state after death. Lords are not allowed to be passed on, and even eating meat is clearly stipulated." In Zhao Zheng's stunned expression, he Added, "The law of Qin is the strictest among the Seven Kingdoms."

"Is there... no loopholes to exploit?" He thought of Bai Shu who bribed the guards outside the city of Handan every day for no reason. Even if money does not have an entry and exit certificate, can it enter and exit Handan City?"

Wang Jian clicked his tongue, hugged Zhao Zheng onto the back of the horse, and then got on the horse himself: "So the Six Kingdoms except Qin are all inferior to each other." He didn't hide his disgust and contempt, "The question you mentioned, There are also express regulations in the Qin law."

Zhao Zheng, who was aware of this for the first time, listened quietly: "Qin Law has an order that all common people live next to each other. If a neighbor commits a problem but does not report it, the people around him will be imprisoned. Those who violate the law and turn a blind eye to pedestrian behavior will also be punished."

Zhao Zheng no longer wanted to think about how many laws of Qin he had violated after getting to know Bai Shu—Qin was indeed not suitable for Bai Shu.

Zhao Zheng, who has been with Bai Shu for more than two years, clearly knows that Bai Shu is a good hunter, and most of his living expenses come from the mountains and forests.According to what Wang Jian just said, these are not allowed in Qin Law.

"But isn't that cutting off everyone's escape route?"

"If you act chivalrously, the gangster's property can be shared equally with passers-by. If your neighbor commits a crime, you can share part of the family property after you report it." Wang Jian didn't care. "Whistleblowers are also rewarded. There are clear rewards and punishments, although it is cumbersome, but now in the territory of Qin State, it can be regarded as not closing the door at night and not picking up things—"

Wang Jian's tone was full of pride: "—this is Qin Lv."

"What's more, if you work hard as a soldier, you can earn a lot of fertile land for your family, and a Wufu's ration can support a family." Thinking of this, Wang Jian's expression became much happier, "My boy, It’s so big that I’m going to be a general in the future, and it’s obviously not as tall as my thigh.”

Under the expression of disgust, Zhao Zheng could hear Wang Jian's proud mood for his father and son.Those overly complicated thoughts, those reluctance and thinking about the little friends were immediately overshadowed by other emotions.Zhao Zheng began to uncontrollably hope that his father would love his child like Wang Jian, and would be proud of every little move he made.

Yes, since they have sent someone to protect him, then his father, as his mother said, has always been concerned about them.For so many years, he has been unable to bring himself and his mother to Qin because of the situation. Now that the situation has just slowed down, he can't wait to see himself, right?
