Emperor Qin

Yan Jiang kept his word, and the next day he gave the agreed coins to the soldiers and craftsmen as a reward.

With such a heavy reward, they built the foundation faster and faster, and even his house built with gravel was erected at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The only thing that can limit their speed is the raw materials.

Today, the villages are connected with each other, and there are only trails that are difficult for carriages and horses. The bluestones have to be carried down from the mountains, the gravels have to be picked up from the river beach, and the beams of the houses have to be made of old wood. is expenditure.

At this time, he found that the money seemed to be insufficient—he gave the villagers who came here to help with rice, asked them to carry gravel from the river beach, and asked them to level the land, raise the foundation, and dig drainage ditches. These all cost money.

He has seasonings, but most of them are used to make seeds and cannot be used. The steel ingots have already been paid to Li Xin, and his set of outdoor artifacts "folding shovel, wire saw, and compass watch" cannot be used. The emergency medicines he ordered were just a few white pills. I heard that the matter of the sweaty horse had been reported. Li Xin said that he should be able to give him credit for becoming a citizen of the Qin Dynasty with a low-level title. Jin Yuguo rewards him, so don't worry.

Yan Jiang was actually not in a hurry, but he watched those sallow and emaciated commoners working hard to smash the soil for a little favor, and his sweaty eyes did not dare to be slow for a moment, for fear of being chased off by the people queuing behind. When the [-]-year-old child was so heavy that he couldn't straighten his back under the weight of the back basket, he couldn't bear it.

He is not such a soft-hearted person. From Iran to the Indus River, from Fergan to Lop Nur, he has seen too many such situations. Even in modern society, there are people struggling to survive in remote war-torn areas.At that time, no matter when he was photographing big cats in Africa, mantles in the Middle East, or pythons in South America, he would walk by calmly, and at most he would share some food with those children. His foreign teammates all said that those It's their country's business.

But it's different here.

This is his hometown, even if the time has jumped by 2000 years, the moment he saw the Great Wall of Qin again, the touch from his soul made the hard work and danger along the way worthwhile.If nothing can be changed, why did he come back? The Parthian Empire, the Mauryan Dynasty, or even Carthage and Rome, which one cannot be his place of refuge?

Coming out of modern society, he has taken freedom, democracy and prosperity for granted. Even if he just brought a seed to make life better for the people in his homeland, he would be proud of what he has done.

So... so I went to the jungle today, and at night, I won't go back at night!

Yan Jiang returned to the guest house, looked at the sleeping big owl, bowed his head and gave a guilty kiss, leaving a wooden board with words on it, indicating that the family was running out of food, and he was going to earn some money at night. Be cold and you'll get by.

Then I took my gear and went out to prepare for a big fight.

Unexpectedly, it was covered by the young master Li Xin on the road. The young man said in an excited tone that seeing brother Jiang looked like seeing my father preparing to fight. That's not enough friends either.

Yan Jiang looked at him in surprise, thinking that this kid is born to be greedy and aggressive. No wonder in the future when Qin State destroys Yan, he will be able to break away from the main force and chase thousands of miles from Hebei to Liaodong. King Yan made great achievements, and his achievements went to the prince; of course, it is no wonder that he buried King Qin's 20 troops in the Battle of Qin and Chu, and his family took three generations of titles in exchange for his life, and went home to farm.

That being the case, even if he gets rid of him, he is afraid that he will follow. If something happens, he may have to run away with His Majesty, so let's take it with him.

Longxi has been a place of exile since the founding of the Qin Dynasty. There are a lot of bandits fleeing. The mountains are high and the forests are dense. It is the big cat's favorite. Many of them are fed to the South China tiger, but there are also some who survived tenaciously. We retreat, the enemy comes and we hide, you can be called a guerrilla vanguard, harassing lonely villagers, destroying fields, and plundering caravans, every person in the county is worth more than ten gold, and everyone can exchange one hundred shi of corn, Almost the price of three cows.

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, so taking advantage of the weather, the two brave men went straight into the mountains.

Yan Jiang is the king of the field, and Li Xin is not even a bronze. He is a salty fish who can only call 666. Just finding him who was lost along the way delayed him for at least half an hour.

Fortunately, this salted fish is not stupid, it is almost a born warrior. After following for a few hours, it has basically learned how to find its way through the jungle. Looking at the elements of Yan Jiang's tracking, it can also say a thing or two, at least Barely able to keep up, when encountering wild boars in the South China big cat forest, he can also climb trees sensitively, at least not causing trouble to Yan Jiang.

Surprisingly, Yan Jiang didn't kill the big cat, saying that it was some kind of extinct animal. He had a potion that he didn't know what it was made of. The cats had been stalking behind them, as if they were about to take one of them, making Li Xin's hair stand on end, and the two were fighting.

Every time he saw the big cat approaching, Yan Jiang shot an arrow, blocking the opponent's path, and even found a wild boar he met by chance, and he shot it into the eye with an arrow, and then threw it to feed a fat-looking cat. The big cat finally made it stop following.

The mountains are high and the forest is vast, the sky is getting darker along the way, and the dense forest is more dangerous. From time to time, tigers howl and wolves howl. Li Xin walks with a pale face and holds his sword tightly, but he doesn't say bitterness, let alone quit.

They also successfully found a bandit lair. They said it was a lair, but it was actually a small karst cave, surrounded by vegetation and surrounded by a pile of tiny fireworks. The concubine's face was yellow and thin, as if she was starving, and from a distance, there seemed to be a faint green light in her eyes.

Nine heads, ninety gold, converted to more than 4 yuan, which is enough for more than half a year.

Yan Jiang looked in one direction, opened his bow and drew an arrow.

He learned bows and arrows from the Scythian cavalry near the Caspian Sea. The compound bow was personally given by Arshak I in Arshak I, and the soldiers who practiced for him were from Anxi to Yuezhi. With a distance of less than one meter, I dare not say that there is a 30% hit rate.

There was no burden on my heart to kill them, because what they gnawed around was the skeleton of an old man.

During the conversation, they were still complaining that the young people ran as fast as rabbits, and they had to hide. They could only look for these old people, but there was a lot of flesh and old bones, and there was not much salt in the blood. There were so many wild animals in the mountains, and small animals were hard to catch , the grain and rice are unpalatable, when will this day be a head.

The next second, with a sound of Duo, the speaking thief was pierced by a feathered arrow, sending him to the end.

Before the thieves rushed forward with a sharpened stick, Yan Jiang shot a second arrow with his backhand, and a thieves fell down with a splash of blood on his chest: "The two on the right are for you, no problem!"

"No problem, I think I can choose three!" Li Xin screamed excitedly, drew his sword and rushed forward.

Yan Jiang was a little speechless, raised his hand and shot another arrow, and shot the nearest person in the chest, retracted his longbow, and cut off another head in front of him with a backhand, and dodged sideways, cutting the throat of a bandit behind him. Extremely ruthless, without any hesitation, seeing the other bandit terrified, turned around and fled - this is their strongest skill, allowing them to escape from the army countless times.

But Yan Jiang just raised his eyebrows, and sneered in his heart, if he distanced himself, wouldn't this be giving the archer his head.

He drew the bow again, shot another arrow, immediately fell down another person, fired another arrow, screamed, and the field was cleared, so he turned his head to look at Li Xin.

I saw that Li Xin had successfully cut down one bandit, and was chasing the remaining bandit and galloping towards the forest. His speed was faster than that of a rabbit, and he was about to lose his target. He was still yelling at the bandit to stop and not run.

Yan Jiang shook his head speechlessly and bowed.

At this moment, a white light flashed by, and the thief screamed and fell on a bush.

Li Xin was stunned.

I saw a night owl with white hair and black spots standing silently on the back of the bandit's neck. Its sharp claws penetrated into the flesh and blood. , but didn't look at Li Xin, but stared straight at Yan Jiang. There was deep anger in those eyes, as if he had been betrayed, which made Li Xin a little scared, so he instinctively moved away and waited for Brother Yan himself to resist.

"Your Majesty, you're awake." The joyful expression on Yan Jiang's face was not a disguise, "I was worried that you didn't have food, and I thought I'd go back soon after taking the head. You found it too quickly."

The owl was so angry that it flew up and landed on his shoulder. Its claws were bloody and covered him all over. It twisted its neck 360 degrees several times, as if it was looking for some evidence of derailment. The anger deepened, but Yan Jiang was just soft. Consolation: "Your Majesty, don't worry, since I have you, I haven't found any other animals. Even Ah Huang was bought by me only after you had to choose him as a mount."

It's strange to say that His Majesty usually regards the sweat horse as a mount, but when he sold Ah Huang in the Qin Dynasty, there was no reaction at all. Poor Xiao Huang thought that he would play a fairy dance like he used to do in Xiaoguo, take it away.

As a wild animal protector, I abandoned all other plush for your Majesty.

His Majesty looked left and right, and did not see any other animals, so he raised his neck indifferently, and Yan Jiang immediately massaged its wings, saying that it was really hard for you to fly so far to find me today.

Li Xin couldn't help swallowing his saliva on the side: "Brother Yan, can you give me this big owl of yours? I would like to exchange it with a thousand gold."

My God, this bird can kill people in an instant. How mighty and good at fighting it will be on the battlefield. It can even go out to fight at night to kill the enemy.

"You have also seen my family's temper tantrums, and I am not willing to give up. I really gave it to you. I am afraid that you and I will not see the sun tomorrow." Yan Jiang was also very helpless, and vomited bitterly in Qin Yu, "This There are thousands of beasts in the world, and I have never seen such a narrow-minded bird in my family. He threw away all the tigers, cats, and panthers I raised back then. Later, I couldn’t beat the tiger Huahua, so I would rather go on a hunger strike than allow me to raise them. If I get it, I’m afraid even my wife won’t be able to marry him.”

His Majesty quietly enjoyed the pressure on the sore wings, his face was expressionless, as if he really didn't understand.

"How do you know if you don't try it, or let him sleep with me for one night—" Mr. Li didn't want to give up, "Just one night, brother Jiang, I'll give Jin..."

His Majesty looked back at him slightly, and remembered him more deeply.

"Hurry up and collect the heads. It's almost dawn. Your family is going to be turned upside down." Yan Jiang is also very helpless. His Majesty is very picky and never stays with these bloody things. He can only trouble this person. The younger brother has cleaned up his head.

Young Master Li can only carry the head on his back—the Qin people are proud of beheading, and there are countless head-robbing incidents on the battlefield. He naturally does not dislike fear, and at the same time, he is a little excited: "Brother Yan, let's have a good rest after we go back." , How about going to other mountains and forests tomorrow to look for it?"

"If you are not afraid, of course you can. It's just that if the county guard knows that I brought you out, I'm afraid I will be held accountable..." Yan Jiang responded, but he thought in his heart that if you made such a move, I am afraid that you will come home. It beats you until you can't get out of bed for two days.

"It's okay, just say that I met the bandits the day before yesterday and wanted to do harm to the people, and you followed me because you were worried." Li Xin naturally took the responsibility on his shoulders.

Yan Jiang nodded, put His Majesty on his shoulders, and when he took a shortcut back to the city, it was almost dawn.

When Li Xin saw the old general at the city gate, he couldn't help shaking. He didn't return all night, and the grandfather who was the county guard was waiting for him at the city gate?As for what?

"Evil!" The old county guard pointed at him with a gun, "The envoy of the king came to call you into Xianyang and put you among the imperial guards. What kind of gift is this? How dare you not return all night and let the envoy wait for a long night? Come, call me!"

It is a serious crime not to accept the imperial decree. Last night he was so anxious that he almost turned the county city upside down. If he didn't deal with this kid, he would be sorry for him.

"What..." Before Li Xin had time to talk about his great achievements last night, he was pushed to the ground by two strong soldiers and received ten sticks for life.

His Majesty standing on the servant's shoulder nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes in satisfaction.

Not in vain it flew half the night looking for someone.
