In Chen County, Qin pawns were asked not to act alone, no doubt for safety.

Although this city is the hometown of Chen State, it was turned into Chu as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and after King Qingxiang moved eastward, it also served as the capital for more than 30 years, and was deeply imprinted into the imprint of Chu.

It is said that when Changping Jun rebelled the year before last, he took a hundred people with his relatives and entered Chen City to raise his arms, and thousands of Chu people exposed their left arms, and they rose up and drove the Qin army out of the city.

To this day, walking in the streets with his soldiers, Heifu can still feel some unkind eyes thrown at him from all directions......

This is a city that is not friendly to the Qin people and the Qin army at all, but it is worth noting that although it is not friendly, there are not many incidents of resistance, maybe it is the prestige of the Qin king's eastern tour that suppresses the arrogance of the rebels, or maybe the day before yesterday, the humble surrender of the king of Chu made them feel desperate?

But when Heifu was ordered to open the way for the king of Qin to leave the city, he did not dare to be careless at all, you must know that the assassination of Qin Shi Huang in history was one after another. From Jing Ke's assassination of Qin at the beginning of this era when he first came to Zhang Liangbo's assassination of Langsha, perhaps this person is also hiding in Chen County now. Somewhere beneath the dense roofs of Lilu, the regents were gathering to plot an assassination against the King of Qin.

The assassination of Gun Shou Teng in Gangneung City a year ago is still fresh in Heifu's memory, and he can't let something like this happen again.

However, even though Heifu asked his subordinates to search carefully, he did not find any suspicious points on the way that King Qin had to pass out of the city.

Pushing through the houses on the streets, they found no armed thugs.

They only saw that the man and the woman were hugging, clumsily untying each other's clothes with their hands, but they were interrupted by the Qin pawn who pushed the door in, the man got up with a black face, and the woman yelled.

I saw that in a certain thatched hut, a hungry baby was crying to drink milk, but his mother was yellow and thin, and when she saw Qin Shu pushing the door in, her mother got up tremblingly, and asked in a shameful but urgent tone, can she use her body in exchange for some food or money?

In the next house, an unattended old man lay dying on a mat, and flies buzzed above his head, as if they had smelled death in advance, and everyone covered their mouths and noses, shook their heads and left......

Adults are busy making ends meet, struggling with life and death, and only children who don't know their sorrows are still playing by the dirty roads in tattered clothes. When Heifu and the others came over, the children stopped in unison, looking at the group of Qin people in black armor in a daze, some of the children had fear in their eyes, but some of them had empty and indifferent eyes.

They were about the same age as Heifu's nephews and nieces, and Heifu felt a little pity for them, and took care of them, and took out the last small bag of brown sugar that he had brought from Nanjun's house, and when he was in the camp, he cut a whole piece of brown sugar into small pieces, and ate a piece to replenish blood sugar after the rapid march. He took it out, poured a dozen or so in the palm of his hand, and smiled at those Chen County children.

"Would you like to try it?"

A few little girls who were learning to cook rice on the ground with mud and grass leaves, and their faces were dirty and came over cautiously, and one of them took one and ran away, stuffing it into their mouths, and their originally gray eyes suddenly shone brightly, and they laughed happily one by one.

It was a great blessing to still have a sweet tooth during the war years.

However, the boys who were playing on horseback and fighting were different, they just watched this scene from afar, their eyes were angry, and even a boy about ten years old strode over, picked up the brown sugar in his sister's hand, and threw it back at the feet of Heifu! When he raised his head, his eyes were full of pride.

"These little shafts." Ji Ying was a little annoyed and wanted to go over and beat these children, but was stopped by Heifu.

"What's the deal with a bunch of stinky kids?"

He shook his head helplessly, Chen people are mostly hard-boned, their vulgarity is light, easy to get angry, in history, in more than ten years, this is still the base camp of the anti-Qin, maybe these boys, that will also become a member of the anti-Qin army......

The children were driven away, and Hefu and his soldiers continued to patrol the next alley.

Years of war caused great damage to Chen County, the fields outside the city are not connected, and the people in the city are also living in dire straits, although because of the arrival of the King of Qin, in order to show the king's leniency, several porridge sheds were opened inside and outside the city to relieve the refugees who were displaced by the war and lost their food and clothing, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

The war has not yet ended, it is impossible for the Qin State to use all the military rations for relief, and the people of Chen County are afraid that they will have to stay hungry until the autumn harvest, and the King of Qin exempted the three counties of Xue County, Surabaya, and Donghai from paying taxes next year, but Chen County is not among them......

"Maybe it's a punishment for their support for Changping Jun's rebellion against Qin, I heard Li You say that King Qin hates the person who betrayed him the most."

Heifu secretly thought that King Qin's mind was always incomprehensible, and he had time to be incredibly tolerant and generous, and sometimes he was very resentful.

He can still reuse the past for Wei Yu, who wants to escape from him. Ye Teng, a foreign traitor who has been criticized for having morally questionable morals, can be accepted.

But he showed no mercy to the Handan nobles who had bullied his mother's family when he was a child, and hundreds of people were killed.

So Heifu was also very cautious, he didn't take the opportunity to protect the wings, and made any bold suggestions, he is now just a peripheral minister, before opening his mouth, figure out his identity first.

Heifu is not the county guard of Chenjun, so looking at the various things in front of him, he can only hope that the method of increasing productivity in Nanjun can be used for the newly conquered counties of Huaibei next year, and once the chasm trade resumes prosperity, I want to come to Chenxian County can also prosper as before, right?

"It's really not easy to get in and out, but fortunately, the king is leaving Chen County today."

After scouring another alley, Lexian came out and breathed a sigh of relief, although the work was glorious, but it was also terrifying, and if something went wrong, they were responsible.

"Will the chief go to Xianyang with the king?"

Ji Ying asked with concern on the side, in the eyes of An Lubing, Heifu has been favored by the king, and maybe he will go directly to the king's side to be a big official!

Heifu shook his head and said: "I was in the king's tent that day, but I said that I wanted to be the king's general and make meritorious contributions, and now the remnants of Chu are still alive, and the second and third sons are still on the front line, how can I run to Xianyang?" ”

Heifu's attitude touched everyone very much, and as he spoke, everyone also inspected the market located in the north of the city......

Heifu looked left and right, today is the market day, the Chen market is very lively, there are many people in front of each stall, which is the focus of their inspection.

"I heard that this is it, Xiong Qi raised his arms and shouted, and thousands of people responded to him with their left arms."

"Why did the king choose to take this path?" Leham sighed.

However, King Qin's itinerary was set by the CRRC government, and it would be announced temporarily that morning, and Lang Zhongling and the garrison would be arranged to clear the road, but they would not change the established route in order to show their proximity to the people.

So Heifu asked the city officials to call him over and told him to strike immediately! He also sent Dongmen Leopard, Lixian and others to disperse the vendors in the market, those who weaved straw shoes, and slaughtered dogs!

For a while, it was like the city management of the later generations crossing the street, and the chickens and dogs of the entire Chen City jumped, although there were also some dissatisfied voices, but no one resisted desperately, after all, the Qin pawns only let people withdraw from the stalls and left, and did not confiscate the guys who ate for them.

However, Heifu didn't know that when Chen City was in chaos, several pairs of unkind eyes were staring at him coldly at a butcher's shop surrounded by many people......

……

Chen Yu has been in Chen County for more than a year, and he is very familiar with every street and alley here, and there are many people who have received Zhang Er's favor to use for him, so after learning that Heifu led people from the palace of the king of Chu in the city, he has been searching the road to the north, and guessed the travel route of King Qin today.

However, after his uncle and grandson exchanged words, Chen Yu also felt that the King of Qin was heavily guarded, and they were short of manpower and it was difficult to make contributions, so he gave up the plan to assassinate the King of Qin, and instead targeted Heifu......

At present, seeing that Heifu really came to Chen City in person, and sent his men to bomb away the vendors in the market, and he himself only took a few guards with bows and crossbows and short swords, standing at the city flag and talking to the city officials, Chen Yu felt that his opportunity had come......

He looked at the butcher's stall full of grease, five dog butchers and three five people scattered in the crowd of protesters. According to Chen Yu's plan, relying on the extraordinary skills of these people, if they suddenly burst out, they will definitely be able to catch Heifu off guard, and he may be able to kill him at close range, and then take advantage of the chaos of thousands of people in this bazaar, and he can still retreat.

It's a great time to get a shame!

"At that time, I will be able to take the head of the black man and go to my brother to apologize for my sins and comfort the souls of the deceased in heaven!"

Chen Yu stared at Heifu with his back to him, pinched the short sword in his sleeve, and suddenly got up, and wanted to make a move!

However, at this moment, a broad and powerful palm suddenly stretched out and pinched the arm that he wanted to draw his sword!

"Don't move."

His voice was low, but he could not put his beak away, and when he turned his head, Chen Yu could see his soapy coat and the red silk that was blown by the wind, as well as the brass pipe basket (yuè) tied to his belt......

Restraining him was a middle-aged Qin official, an ordinary prisoner who looked honest and dedicated......

It's his brother Zhang Er who is here!
