I deliver the courier at the end of Qin

Although Han Xin was down and out when he was young, he was still very particular. The clothes on his body had been changed into another light gray commoner. At this time, he was sitting cross-legged on the boulder, with his hair neatly arranged in a bun and tied with a hairpin that had already turned white from washing. strips of cloth.

Wearing this kind of clothes on ordinary people looks like a dilapidated farmer, but in the light morning mist on the river, Han Xin actually wears the most ordinary commoner clothes with a bit of immortality.

At this situation, Xu Qin's brain twitched, and he blurted out: "Han Xin is fishing, and those who wish will take the bait."

Han Xin looked at Xu Qin: "A mere merchant who delivers goods also has the ambition of King Wen?"

Xu Qin bowed to Han Xin first, and explained with a smile: "I don't have any ambition to become King Wen, but Mr. Han never forgets to carry his sword with him when fishing, which shows that he has great ambitions."

"You can call me Han Xin, but it's awkward to call me Han Gong." Han Xin shook his head, "I am in Huaiyin. I have not been elected as an official, nor can I have the means of doing business to make a living like a king. I am so poor that I can only rely on others to help me Only then can we make ends meet, and the youths in the county hate people like me, so what are your ambitions for me?"

Xu Qin introduced to Han Xin: "My name is Xu Qin, and his name is Chen Mai. He was originally from Yangwu County. His family was so poor that he couldn't even afford a door. There was only one broken mat, but his parents were traveling abroad. He was a little boy. Age also comes out with me. A man has ambitions everywhere, and now is the time when the world is in turmoil, don't you want to leave Huaiyin and look around?"

Han Xin's eyes darkened: "Come to me, and tell me if you have anything to do. The reward I promised will not be unfulfilled."

"In this case, I'm not polite." Xu Qin said generously, "To be honest, I encountered bandits when I was transporting goods through Mangdang Mountain, so I would like to ask you to protect us."

Han Xin asked puzzledly: "I heard that you have recruited twenty strong men, what's the use of having one more?"

Xu Qin said, "How did I treat you to drink yesterday?"

Han Xin replied, "It tastes better than anything I've ever had before."

"That's mincemeal wine specially brewed in my hometown, which is different from the wine placed in a big urn outside." Of course, Xu Qin also mixed some modern wine-making techniques in it, so although it tastes sweet, it is better than the common wine at that time. The wine needs to be refreshing, this Xu Qin will not mention it, "Don't you see the difference?"

Han Xin was silent.

"We brought this wine all the way from Wen County, and it is specially prepared by Xu Qin for hospitality." Chen Mai said.

"I don't want to hire you, but I want to invite you to go out with us as a guest." Xu Qin is still very self-aware, knowing that if a businessman like him wants to hire Han Xin, the other party will definitely not agree , So he played the friendship card, "Meeting is fate, we will provide food and lodging along the way, and when you find the one you like, you can part ways at any time."

Han Xin was moved by the words. The reason why he never left Huaiyin was that the world was still relatively peaceful, and people like him seemed idle everywhere. After getting a free meal ticket, and treating each other as a guest, with full sincerity, Han Xin felt that it was time for him to go out and have a look.

He flicked the bamboo pole, caught a carp, and jumped around alive and well in the barrel.

"I'm not fishing to wait for King Wen, but I want to eat fish tonight." Han Xin turned to look at Xu Qin, "Tell me when to leave, and I'll wait at Huixi City Gate."

On the day Xu Qin left Huaiyin, more than a dozen bodyguard carts lined up and walked slowly on the official road, looking like a caravan.

Han Xin came forward with his sword in his arms, and Chen Mai brought him a white horse. Han Xin got on the horse and drove alongside Xu Qin and Chen Mai, walking in front of the convoy.

Xu Qin spent more than ten days in Huaiyin in order to finalize the postal route with local merchants, so before he left Sishui County, it was already rainy April. Xu Qin had to change the road several times, going farther and farther.

On the day of passing through Qixian County, it had been raining continuously for more than ten days, and the official road with yellow soil had turned into a stream, and the front was submerged in stagnant water.

Qi County was originally a low-lying place with many lakes and swamps. After the heavy rain, it seemed to be an endless swamp country.Xu Qin led the people away from the official road, and walked around the muddy grass for a long time, without avoiding the big lake in front of him.

"What's going on here? Is there a flood?" Xu Qin was in a hurry. Seeing that the date for completing the task was getting closer, if he could not arrive in Wen County on time, he would not be able to light up the last green dot on the progress bar.

"I recommend that you install a Qin Dynasty weather forecast app in advance to keep track of weather changes anytime and anywhere." Kunpeng enthusiastically recommended.

Because of urgent needs, Xu Qin had to pay 30 experience points in advance to buy this app. It can sense the location of the owner and predict the weather for the next 15 days. According to Kunpeng, the accuracy is much higher than that of various types often installed on modern mobile phones Weather forecast - because it can perceive the divine power of the gods in Kunlun Mountains and make predictions, the results are very accurate and it is almost impossible to make mistakes.

As soon as Xu Qin installed the app, he immediately checked the weather forecast in Qixian County. Good guy, it has been heavy rain for 15 consecutive days, and the precipitation has been 100% in the last few days.

Ancient horse-drawn carriages are not as rainproof as modern large trucks, and if they get wet like this, the entire truckload of goods will be soaked, especially the Chinese yam medicine, which may sprout and rejuvenate for a second time.

Xu Qin made a decisive decision and opened the map app to check the nearby buildings that could shelter from the rain. There were no villages or shops in this area, only a house a few miles away.Xu Qin led the convoy and headed towards the house against the storm.

The temple shown on the map is located on a small hill. The terrain here is relatively high and open, and it is almost surrounded by puddles. Xu Qin and the others rode horses, dripping muddy water that almost reached the horse's stomach, and finally came to the front of the house with difficulty.

This is a dilapidated house, which was left by some noble from the previous dynasty. The two stone unicorns at the door have collapsed, and even the eyeballs are covered with moss, which looks green.

The roof of the building has collapsed halfway, and a broken window opened and closed suddenly in the strong wind, making a manic sound.

"It can be counted as a place to rest." Han Xin jumped off the horse first, and wrung out a pile of water from the hem of his clothes.

There were twenty or so people in a convoy, and everyone was completely drenched, with the rain dripping off their faces, and they all looked very embarrassed.

"I'm soaked to death!" Xu Qin let out a long breath. He lost his temper after being drenched by the rain. He had never been hit by such a heavy rain in his life. Now when the small wind blows, his whole body trembles, even his lips tremble. It is bluish white.

Chen Mai looked at him worriedly: "Let's go first and find a place to light a fire."

"Okay." Xu Qin and Han Xin pushed open the tightly closed wooden door with one hand, and then both of them froze there.

There were countless pairs of eyes staring at the person in the darkness. Xu Qin let out an "ouch" in fright, and hid behind Han Xin first—the tall back of the other party made him feel more secure, and Han Xin had already pulled out the saber from his waist.

"Light the torch!" Xu Qin shouted hastily.

The guards lighted the wet torch with great difficulty and walked in. Only then did everyone realize that although the building was very spacious, there were nearly a thousand people sitting densely on the side covered by the roof.

These people were described as haggard and ragged, and each looked like a frightened bird.

"Who are you?" The military officer who looked like the most well-dressed in the crowd came over with a steel knife in hand.

Xu Qin observed carefully and felt that the robes on them were very similar to the official robes that his elder brother usually wore, and they should be county captains.

"I'm Xu Qin, a merchant in Wen County, passing through this place to collect goods." Xu Qin took out all the documents he was carrying to prove his identity as a good citizen, "It's raining too hard, we just want to stay overnight .”

After the two county lieutenants verified, they nodded: "Don't sit with us, just find a place to rest."

Xu Qin thanked: "Why don't you light a fire?"

"We have been blocked by heavy rain here for several days, and all the firewood on this hill has been used up." One of the county lieutenants reminded, "If you have firewood in the car, remember to save it. I don't know when the rain will stop."

Although the roof collapsed on the other side of the building, it was still covered in several places. Xu Qin led someone to find a corner, took some dry firewood from the car, and lit a fire. Take off your wet clothes and dry them by the fire.

Everyone was a man, and they were all shirtless in such an embarrassing situation. Among the group of people, only Xu Qin and Han Xin were more particular, and they still wore their middle clothes to warm themselves by the fire.

When the roasting was almost done, Xu Qin set up a copper tripod on the fire, put the dried seafood and some Huaiyin vegetables together to cook soup, and took out the chicken and mutton that were killed in the previous county, and let everyone Someone skewered a bamboo stick and put it on the grill.

For a while, the smell of seafood soup and barbecue permeated the air, attracting hatred. Many people looked at them, and the voice of secretly swallowing saliva came from the darkness.

Considering that the rain might have to be avoided for several days, Xu Qin only asked his strong men to bring some roasted meat and soup to the two county lieutenants.

"Brother, I think a few people look at us with strange eyes." Chen Mai keenly felt several eyes with different meanings from a bunch of anxious eyes, and could not help reminding in a low voice.

Xu Qin turned his head to look, and saw two burly men sitting in a corner not far from them, they kept inspecting them with probing and scrutinizing eyes, especially when they landed on the fire they put on fire. On the weapons beside the pile and the neighing horses outside.

Xu Qin had seen this look on the bandit before, and it was the look of wanting to grab something.

Han Xin put it more directly: "Those people looked at us with murderous intent."

The author has something to say: Xu Qin: I have checked my eyes, it is the person who wants to steal our things

The characters that everyone guessed before also appeared
