Chapter 632: Return to Qin
Without saying anything all the way, Tang Dou and the four of them galloped to the outside of Xinjiaji Town in a whirlwind, which slowed down some horses, Tang Dou instructed Li Si to take Zhao Ji and Yingzheng to abandon the horse, walk around the town, wait by the Zhanghe River, try to avoid Zhao Ren, don't let people find out, and he rode into the town alone and went straight to the dock. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When they arrived at the dock, it was still the black boat, Tang Dou tied the horse and shouted at the black boat: "Uncle Ding, I'm here." ”
An old tanned boatman came out, and when he saw Tang Dou on the shore, he smiled and responded, "Childe is here." ”
Tang Dou got on the boat with a smile and said to Uncle Ding: "Let's start the boat." ”
"Huh? Childe, don't wait for your family any longer? The old boatman questioned, but he had already begun to untie the cable.
The old boatman just cared, not to inquire about Tang Dou's affairs, Tang Dou was generous, and the price he gave was good, this time Tang Dou was sent to Qi State, which was worth his income for most of the year.
At this time, an old man on the shore asked the old boatman: "Old thing, you can't starve to death, and there is business coming to your door again?" Where are you going this time? ”
The old boatman smiled and scolded the old man on the shore: "Old thing, even if you starve to death, I won't starve to death, hehe, this time I want to send this son to Qi country, do you want me to take you to Qi country for a turn." ”
The two old men were arguing, Tang Dou reached out and picked up a penny to help Ding Lao Zhang's boat prop up from the shore, until the boat entered the river, then he smiled and said to the old boatman: "My family is waiting in front, wait for a while, trouble the old man to stop at the shore when he sees them, and pick them up." ”
Uncle Ding sighed, although it was a little strange why Tang Dou and the others wanted to get on the boat separately, but he didn't say much.
The boat sailed down the river and quickly sailed out of town.
Tang Dou had been paying attention to the direction of the town, but he didn't find that Li Tian had arrived with people, presumably this time he was much ahead of Li Tian.
Outside the town, the Wumeng boat picked up Zhao Ji and the three of them and entered the river again, this time down the river without hindrance.
Tang Dou looked back at the direction of the Xin family, which had disappeared, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Li Tian, it's time for you to arrive now, right?
Sure enough, at this time, Li Tian led dozens of soldiers along the Zhanghe River to Xinjiaji, and Li Tian was asking the old man on the dock who was arguing with the old boatman if he had seen any suspicious people passing by, especially those with women and children.
The old man shook his head: "I didn't see it." ”
Li Tian saw that the dock was empty, looked at the old man and asked, "What about the boats in the town?" ”
The old man replied: "I was hired by a son to go to the Qi country." ”
"Childe? What kind of childe is it? Did he ever take a beautiful woman and an eight- or nine-year-old child with him? Li Tian's eyebrows instantly raised.
The old man replied: "No, there is only one person in that son, according to the old man, that son looks like he went to study in Qi country." ”
Li Tian withdrew his gaze from the Zhanghe River in disappointment, no longer paid attention to the old man's wild speculation, waved his hand at his soldiers and ordered: "Everyone take a rest for the time being, send the three elders in the town, and ask him to prepare lunch for us." ”
The soldiers dismounted with cheers.
Li Tian looked at the winding road outside the town in thought, and then looked at the waterway of the Zhanghe River, frowned and shook his head.
Obviously they have heard the news of Zhao Ji Yingzheng and his party, why did they disappear inexplicably, didn't they dare to enter the town and hide somewhere in the wilderness? Or did the Qin people have already arranged it, and someone is out to answer it?
Not to mention Li Tian's cranky thoughts in Xinjiaji, the black boat that Tang Dou was riding was going down the river, and the speed of the boat was much faster than that of riding a horse, and by dusk it had already traveled hundreds of miles of waterway. Tang Dou even took out ten taels of gold and handed it to Ding Laozhang, telling him not to stop along the way, and it was best to avoid Zhao Jun's waterway inspection.
Ten taels of gold, Ding Laozhang has never seen so much money in his life, and at this time, he is as excited as if he has been beaten with chicken blood, even if Tang Dou and the four of them are robbers who kill people and steal goods, he can't care so much.
Mr. Ding, who was familiar with the road, picked up the lights and walked at night, and by the time dawn he had already entered the old road of the Yellow River, directly bypassing the waterway inventory of the Zhao army, and going straight down the river to the Qi country.
In the afternoon of the next day, Tang Dou and the four of them had entered the territory of Qi without any danger, Zhao Ji couldn't help but burst into tears and bowed down to Tang Dou.
There is no conflict of interest between Qi and Qin, there is an intricate intricate in-law relationship between the magnates of the two countries, it can be said that when they arrive in Qi, Zhao Ji and Yingzheng are already safe, the only fly in the ointment is that they are further away from Qin.
Even so, this also means that Zhao Ji no longer has to live in humiliation.
The black boat docked in a small city in Qi State, Tang Dou thanked the old boat owner Ding Laozhang, and rewarded him with some extra money, and told him with a smile What to say if someone asked him after returning to Zhao State.
After two days and one night of getting along, Ding Laozhang had already noticed that Tang Dou and his party were probably the key criminals wanted by Zhao Guo, so he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the matter, he made so much money this time, but don't make a fuss in the end.
Bidding farewell to Uncle Ding, Tang Dou arranged for Zhao Ji and the three of them to find an inn in the small city to rest for a day, and he traveled home to rest for a day.
Tang Dou also spent these two days and one night on the boat, Tang Dou didn't dare to cross back in that kind of place, he didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't fall into the river with a pop when he crossed back, if that was the case, it would be declining.
After resting at home for a day, Tang Dou crossed back to the inn in the small city of Qi again, spent a lot of money, and soon hired two comfortable carriages, and instructed the coachman to go straight to Chu State.
The next road became easy, four people traveled to the mountains and rivers, looking for secluded attractions, traveling generally from Qi to Chu, and crossed half of the Chu country, in order to avoid trouble, when passing through the big city of Qi and Chu along the way, Tang Dou and the four people did not stop, and some even went around the city.
More than two months later, the carriage of the four people finally arrived at the famous Hangu Pass on the Qin-Chu border.
The carriage stopped at Hangu Pass, the four of them got off, and Li Si took out the money to send the coachman away.
Stepping on the land of Qin, Zhao Ji hugged Yingzheng and couldn't cry for a long time.
But Ying Zheng blinked his big eyes and stared excitedly at the towering and precipitous Hangu Pass city wall in front of him, he knew that his road to unifying the Six Kingdoms had already begun from the moment he set foot on the land of Qin.
Tang Dou looked up at the majestic and hideous Hangu Pass, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
One hundred and two Qin Guan, I have brought you to unify the kings of the six countries.
Jiuding, He's Bi...... Ha ha......
Tang Dou suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quietly ordered: "Knock"
Li Si, who had already been unable to hold back, bowed down to Tang Dou and the others, strode towards Hangu Pass, walked to the gate, raised his head and shouted at the Qin soldiers who were looking down on the city wall: "Listen to the general guarding the pass, Empress Ji and Wang Zizheng escaped from Zhao and returned to Xianyang, and now they are closing the gate, you wait to open the gate as soon as possible to welcome Empress Ji and Wang Zizheng back to China." ”
The border guard on the wall of Hangu Pass, who was holding the arrow stack and watching Li Si, heard Li Si's shout, and trembled with fright, he glanced at Tang Dou, Zhao Ji, and Ying Zheng who were standing not far away, and hurriedly ordered: "Switch, switch immediately." The armies lined up and went out with General Ben to welcome Empress Ji and Wang Zizheng back to China. ”
The news that Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng fled Handan has already spread from Zhao to Qin, and the guards at the border have already received orders and are ready to leave the country at any time to meet Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, especially the Qin army on the Qin-Zhao border has also advanced more than 100 miles into the territory of Zhao State, but more than two months have passed, and the border guards of Qin State still have not received any news from Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, and they even think that Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng have suffered an accident.
How could this guard general have expected that more than two months later, Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng would suddenly appear at Hangu Pass on the border of Qin and Chu.
The heavy copper-clad solid wood gate was pushed open by more than a dozen soldiers, and the border guard led hundreds of soldiers to rush out of the gate.
Seeing Qin Jun's neat military appearance, Xiao Yingzheng couldn't help but puff up his chest proudly.
The guard general hurriedly ran to the front, his eyes swept slightly over the faces of Tang Dou, Zhao and Ji Yingzheng, and he had already knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists with his hands and bowed: "The last general, Wang Jian, the deputy general of Hangu Pass, will meet Empress Ji and Wang Zizheng." The last general welcomed Empress Ji and Wang Zizheng back to China. ”
Wang Qian?
Tang Dou trembled, suddenly laughed and quickly stepped forward to support Wang Jian with both hands, looked up and down at this young general in his twenties, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the general is Wang Qian, and he has admired his name for a long time. ”
Wang Jian couldn't help but cough lightly, and he humbly bowed his hand to Tang Dou and said, "How can a deputy general at the border of Xia Dou dare to be honored." ”
Tang Dou laughed, he enthusiastically took Wang Qian's hand, and kept patting: "The general is the dragon and phoenix among people at first sight, and his future achievements must be limitless, haha......, come, General Wang, I will introduce you to Wang Zizheng and Queen Ji." ”
Ying Zheng's eyes were bright and he stared at Wang Jian who was pulled over by Tang Dou, since the master admires this person so much, then this person must be a person with great ability, write it down.
Tang Dou pulled Wang Jian to Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, introduced Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng to him, and at the same time introduced Li Si to Wang Qian.
This time, Qin Shi Huang's side has all gathered all the literature and martial arts, with these two people, half of the Great Qin Dynasty has been firmly established, and the rest depends on how to promote it.
Wang Jian respectfully greeted Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, and retreated to the side to invite the four of them to enter the customs.
Ying Zheng smiled, stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Qian's hand, and said with a smile: "General Wang, this prince is happy when he sees that Hangu Pass is so majestic and the soldiers are well-trained, can General Wang take this prince to visit this Xiongguan?" ”
Tang Dou couldn't help but secretly give Ying Zheng a thumbs up, little guy, as soon as he set foot on the territory of the Qin State, he had already begun to buy people's hearts? (To be continued.) )
