Chaotic Qin

Chapter 178 Dreamland

Yingzheng took Qin Zichu on a tour around the world, of course he wasn't playing around indiscriminately.

The Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others mentioned by Qin Zichu were all secretly remembered by Ying Zheng. Since he had already passed Shouchun during this tour, the next direction was naturally to go to Pei County.

Pei County is under the rule of Sishui County.

The sheriff of Sishui County is Ren Xiao, who was also a military general who was single-handedly promoted by Ying Zheng. He is thoughtful and brave.

Ying Zheng handed over such an important position to Ren Xiao's subordinates and Shi Lu to take charge together, which shows Ying Zheng's trust in him.

This time when he went to Shouchun to pick him up, Ren Xiao temporarily transferred all the work at hand to Shi Lu. When he returned to Sishui County, Ying Zheng naturally took Ren Xiao with him.

"My lord, in the territory of Pei County, people from various countries live together, and some of them are disobedient." Ren Xiao sighed forcefully as he spoke.

He was still very young, and his face could not help showing a resentment that could not be suppressed due to lack of management skills.

Ying Zheng nodded to show that he knew about it, but he said indifferently: "Can they contribute to recruiting civilian husbands to serve in corvee?"

Ren Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Returning to the country, this...they haven't delayed."

Ying Zheng glanced at Ren Xiao, and said seriously, "What's embarrassing you?"

The suppressed anger on Ren Xiao's face instantly gushed out.

He spoke quickly: "Zhaoyang Daze's generation of survivors of the Chu Kingdom are constantly banditting, always trying to plunder our Daqin food and grass. When they attacked Baiyue before, their mobs caused a lot of trouble to Chen and Shilu. Not a small trouble. Later, because the 40 troops sent by General Wang Jian repaired the canal and did not take that road, the trouble was solved. As for the Julu generation, there are swamps everywhere, and the robbers pretended to be fishermen—not pretending to be The people in the dozens of villages and towns that are basically connected are all thieves—even when the task of recruiting is issued, they will deliberately hide in the swamp to fish for a living, let us rush to nothing. The thieves are really hateful!"

Ying Zheng frowned indistinctly when he heard the words, and then comforted Ren Xiao with a voice: "There is no need to worry about this matter, you can just keep them safe first, and do what you should do on weekdays. Don't worry about them too much." , since they pretend to be good citizens on weekdays, they can’t be caught when suppressing the bandits, so let them continue to run rampant for a while—how have you and Shi Lu’s "Law of the Great Qin" learned?"

Hearing this, Ren Xiao's face suddenly turned red.

He scratched his head and said dryly: "My lord, it's not that Ren Xiao doesn't work hard. He's too busy on weekdays. This, this...ah ha ha ha, there are so many words, I still can't understand them. Our Daqin Isn’t the original characters pretty good? Why create new characters?”

Hearing his answer, Ying Zheng lowered his face and looked calmly at the young general he had entrusted with the important task.

Ren Xiao instantly felt that he was pierced by a cold light, and his whole body was so stiff that it looked like he was thrown out of the house with his bare butt in the cold!

He met Ying Zheng's eyes, and immediately knelt down in front of Ying Zheng in a panic, and hurriedly kowtowed and confessed: "I have the expectation of failing the king! Please punish the king!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Punishment is unnecessary. I, Daqin, will use the imperial examination system to promote officials in the future! Don't look at your performance in various wars, but if you fail to pass the exam during the autumn harvest, I will let you take care of the paperwork." Go back to your hometown and farm!"

No need for Ren Xiao's answer, after Ying Zheng reprimanded him, his voice changed, revealing a sense of worry: "I hope to see that you can get the qualification to stand upright in the hall of Xianyang Palace, instead of relying on your past military achievements. Don't let me live up to your expectations—compared with the officials of the other six countries, I hope to govern this great river and mountain with my Guanzhong disciples."

Ren Xiao was already blushing from Ying Zheng's reprimand.

He kowtowed with guilt, and said in his mouth: "Ren Xiao will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord, and he will memorize the "Great Qin Law" by heart when the lord finishes his east tour!"

Ying Zheng gave a faint "um", calmed down his tone, and resumed his loud and unpredictable tone.

I just heard him say: "After the imperial examination, I still have other tasks to arrange for you."

Ren Xiao's eyes lit up immediately.

He let out a happy "Hey", and then said: "My lord, do you still want to use troops?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and said calmly: "Don't think about fighting all day long. The world has been settled, and it's time to rule the world—don't hang out with soldiers in the army on weekdays, and pay more attention to the counties and counties. It is right to be a scholar who is highly respected."

Without waiting for Ren Xiao's rebuttal, Ying Zheng took advantage of the situation and turned the topic he had prepared.

He said seriously: "I heard that there are outstanding people here. The king admires Confucianism very much, and plans to stay in Sishui County for a little longer. I have nothing to do. You call all the people who are above the pavilion chief in Sishui County. The widow wants to meet them one by one."

Ren Xiao couldn't believe what he heard.

After distinguishing the meaning of Ying Zheng's words, he couldn't help but froze.

Ying Zheng looked at Ren Xiao quietly, and after a while, Ren Xiao suddenly realized that what he heard was all true!

He opened his mouth in surprise, and stammered: "The king, the king actually met these people? This, this, this..."

Ying Zheng frowned, and said in a low voice, "Is this wrong?"

An expression of distress immediately appeared on Ren Xiao's face, and he whispered a little worried: "The lord also knows that our Daqin officials are not enough. There are quite a few people who are just pretending to be numbers. As for those, county magistrates, county captains, pavilion chiefs, etc., they were not appointed by my Daqin at all, but some powerful or prestigious people selected by local residents. Among these people, Many of them are actually local hooligans who can control the local area. If the king wants to see them, it is easy to stain his eyes."

Ying Zheng exuded an icy aura, and said calmly, "That's why I want to see you again. You can make arrangements."

Of course, Ren Xiao didn't understand what Ying Zheng's "need to see each other" really meant.

However, seeing the king's determined appearance, it was inconvenient for him to say more, so he had to leave with doubts.

Ying Zheng watched Ren Xiao leave with doubts in his eyes, and sighed softly.

Although he said that he would not fear that the Qin Dynasty established by himself would be destroyed and replaced by others, but how could there be no trace in his heart?

Yingzheng wanted to know who Liu Bang was and what kind of abilities he was able to establish another dynasty that was not as powerful as Great Qin but was stable for many years.

"After you've seen it, kill it." Ying Zheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and calmly found a way out for Liu Bang's life.

Those who can achieve great things have no need to live; only those who are doomed losers are eligible to be kept by Qin Zichu to play with.

Liu Bang must die.

Qin Zichu lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Yingzheng has always been a greedy lover. Ever since Qin Zichu started to grow meat, he has also started to eat meat. After going on the road, Qin Zichu was able to rest and catch up on sleep.

At this moment, he was having a bizarre dream.

The life since coming to the Qin State has been exaggerated to an endless extent, everyone showed the most vicious face, roaring their ugly desires, and continued to burn Qin Zichu.

Everyone seemed to be blaming Qin Zichu, and the dead rulers of the six kingdoms crawled out of the cemetery one after another, grabbed his robe and pulled it around.

They seemed to be torn to shreds.

Countless Qin soldiers who participated in the battle were constantly being slaughtered.

Blood spurted from their necks, and all of them fell on their backs into the muddy ground with hatred in their eyes.

Their stumps and broken arms were thrown in different directions, and the organs in their chests were also scattered all over the place, but they were not dead yet, and they lay on the ground, crying unceasingly.

Fear and blood are intertwined in this strange dream.

Pairs of blood-red eyes stared fiercely at Qin Zichu, no matter where he went, they never disappeared.

"Zi Chu? Zi Chu, wake up!" An urgent call sounded in his ears, and before Qin Zichu escaped from the panic of the dream, he was already hugged tightly in a warm embrace.

The arms hugging him were strong and powerful, and the chest resting on his cheeks was also extremely broad and reassuring.

Qin Zichu blinked, and found that his robe was tightly attached to his body, making it uncomfortable and sticky.

He quietly lay a pillow in Ying Zheng's arms for a while to calm his mind, then pushed Ying Zheng's arm away with a smile on his face, and said softly, "Ah Zheng, I'm fine, I'm awake now."

"Prepare hot water." Ying Zheng stared at Qin Zichu carefully for a long time, and then gave instructions to the servant.

He didn't care whether such behavior would cause trouble to the marching army.

"Ah Zheng, don't worry about it, I'll just change clothes casually." Qin Zichu stopped him by pulling his palm.

Ying Zheng shook his head, and said with concern: "After changing clothes, my body is covered with a layer of sweat and it is easy to catch a cold from the wind. If so, just scrub it off."

Seeing that Qin Zichu seemed to want to refute, Ying Zheng put down his hands, looked him straight in the eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Don't let me worry about it."

Qin Zichu's heart shuddered, and he couldn't help but shut up.

He lowered his eyes to avoid Ying Zheng's eyes, and nodded obediently in response to the request for a bath.

The dream just now gave Qin Zichu a very bad premonition, but Qin Zichu didn't know why he didn't want to tell Ying Zheng a dream that was so chaotic that it had no theme, just to make him feel uncomfortable.

But Qin Zichu never concealed anything from Ying Zheng, and now he feels guilty.

Looking at Qin Zichu's reaction, Ying Zheng knew that he couldn't figure out what kind of dream it was that made Qin Zichu gritted his teeth and lay trembling in the bedding, but dared not make a sound.

However, Qin Zichu always knew the seriousness, and Ying Zheng felt that what he didn't want to say would definitely not involve political affairs.

The matter ran through Ying Zheng's mind, and he immediately thought: something that Qin Zichu would not want to mention without involving major national affairs, could it be that he...is he homesick?

Everyone misses their homeland.

Qin Zichu didn't mention this matter in the past, perhaps because he was still young.

But now that Qin Zichu is getting older and everything is going well, the hometown he can't go back will definitely become the place he misses the most, and this is precisely the dream that Ying Zheng can't help him realize.

Ying Zheng felt sad for a while, and he didn't take the initiative to bring up the matter.

Yingzheng understood that he could not achieve longevity in his previous life. Even if he is rich in the world, he is doomed to have some regrets that cannot be fulfilled.

"Zi Chu, we've arrived in Sishui County, can I let you see how Liu Bang is?" Ying Zheng changed the subject to something that Qin Zichu would definitely be interested in.

Sure enough, Qin Zichu immediately showed a surprised smile.

He whispered: "What a surprise!"
