Zhao Ji did not dispel Ying Zheng's idea of doing good, called the guard in front of him, and instructed him to prepare some dry food for Ying Zheng, so that Ying Zheng could do good deeds, and the ignorant were fearless, so he should be his ignorant child who atoned for the royal family of Qin.

Ying Zheng got out of the carriage with the basket, Zhao Qi followed closely beside him, followed by a few guards, once there was a stir, they would not hesitate to make a move, and would not give anyone a chance to hurt Ying Zheng.

When they walked up to the refugees, they were still hanging their heads against the sun, not even looking at Ying Zheng, who took out the dough and handed it to the child who was staring at them weakly with his fingers. The child just wanted to stretch out his hand, but was knocked off by the old man next to him, glared at Yingzheng angrily and said, "I won't wait to eat the food that the dog clan has come!"

Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he didn't know what to do, and the guard drew his knife and wanted to cut down this untouchable person, but was stopped by Ying Zheng. The old peasant stretched his neck and roared righteously: "Come! The old decay is cheap, kill the old decay so that the old decay will sue you in heaven for the crime of your group of demons who choose people to devour! ”

The old man's neck was bruised, and his face was not afraid, but he took pity on his grandson, and shrank behind him and shivered.

Ying Zheng opened his mouth and didn't know how to deal with the situation at this time, it was the first time he had encountered this situation, they didn't scold the untouchables who grabbed their food next to him, and they were scolded for giving them food and spurting blood.

The old man didn't accept it, it didn't mean that others didn't accept it either, the young man with a broken leg dragged his ruined body to Yingzheng, knocked his head three times, and cried and begged Yingzheng: "Ask the nobleman to give the little one a bite to eat, the villain hasn't eaten for two days, save the little one."

Ying Zheng sighed, handed the big cake in his hand to the man, the man immediately kowtowed and thanked him, crying and shouting three times in a row: "Thank you for your gift......" After finishing speaking, he ran to the side of the road and held the cake and nibbled it.

Several young people around rushed up, and for a while the sound of cries and wails rang out. The woman cried the most with the unweaned child in her arms, and she lifted her sackcloth sleeve, pointed to the knife on her arm and cried: "The slut has not eaten or drunk for several days, and has no milk to feed my child, so she can only cut her wrists and feed it with blood.

Ying Zheng had a gloomy face and scattered the bread in his hand to the refugees. It's a pity that his little food is not enough to distribute so many people, so he can only cover his red eyes and cry and run back to the carriage.

Those refugees are still grabbing food, and some have even begun to fight, no one feels that others are more pitiful than themselves, except for women and children, no one is robbing, and everyone else is already red-eyed.

The old man sitting on the edge was still indifferent, looking at the beard of the grabbing man, he lay on the ground and wailed: "You are vain, how is you different from a wild beast? King Qin is a vain man! ”

Zhao Qi bowed deeply to the old man before getting into the car, he knew very well that this old man was not like other refugees, he was a scholar, and he had the temperament of a scholar, but books could not fill his stomach. What the royal family needs are scheming conspirators and generals who are good at wielding their troops to fight, and the last thing they need is pedantic scholars. They will not bow to the royal family, the royal family will not give them a way to live, and even the heavens will not open their eyes for them.

The groom raised his whip and whipped it on the horse's buttocks, and the convoy began to march again, this place had just entered the territory of Qin, and there was still a long distance to resist Xianyang, so it was not suitable to stay for a long time.

Ying Zheng sat sullenly on the carriage, he was still thinking about what had just happened, and when he couldn't figure it out, he would ask Zhao Qi, in his little mind, Zhao Qi was the most learned person in the world.

"Ah Qi, why did that old man not only not want me to give him food, but also reprimand me, he was obviously hungry like that." Ying Zheng's mood was very low, and this trip made him see a lot of things that he couldn't understand.

"Do you know who is responsible for this?" Zhao Qi looked at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng shook his head.

"It is the current ruling class that causes this phenomenon, the princely family is brutal, and does not hesitate to wage wars for the land, and the years of war have burned up the people's money and food, resulting in the displacement of the villagers, and the people are full of complaints, so they hate the princes, and you are also a member of the ruling class, so some backbone scolding you should be." Zhao Qi patiently explained.

Ying Zheng listened to Zhao Qi's words and clenched his little fists, his eyes full of dissatisfaction with the prince.

Zhao Qi was secretly happy in his heart, maybe he could make the brutal Qin Shi Huang in history become a merciful emperor who will be famous through the ages, so he continued to say to Ying Zheng: "Ah Zheng, if you become the king of Qin one day, you must not disregard people's lives, okay?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qi in surprise, and when he saw that he didn't mean to joke, he nodded heavily.

Zhao Ji on the side looked at the two and a half children without words, originally he didn't have any hope for Yingzheng to ascend the throne, after all, Zichu was not treated well in the past, and he would hide in Zhao Guodong in Tibet, and now he can go back because Zichu somehow became the prince's favorite concubine Huayang's righteous son, Huayang has no son, and after the prince ascends the throne, the prince's position will naturally become Zichu's. Zi Chu can inherit the throne, so why can't Yingzheng, as his eldest son?

Ying Zheng's good deeds were just a small episode on his way home, and they did not affect the march of the convoy in the slightest.

As the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times. But no one has ever said that there are more ringing horses in troubled times.

The oppression of the royal family is obviously the root cause of this phenomenon, the people have no food to eat, so they start to kill people and sell goods, they do not rob innocent people, they know that the people do not have much to eat, and robbing them is not enough to spend their own strength. But the royal family is different, everyone is clothed and fed, and every bit of money on their bodies is unreasonable.

Being a robber is more nourishing than the people, and living a life of sweet blood on the knife edge, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the fall of the head. When encountering soft, it is easy to bully them, of course, they are allowed to slaughter, and when they encounter hard stubble, they will be in trouble, not to mention that they will take their lives if they can't grab money.

The gang of horse thieves who stood in front of Zhao Qi and them obviously didn't understand their situation, and the big man who took the lead blocked the middle of the road with a horizontal knife and shouted: "Stop coming, leave the money on your body, grandpa, I will spare your life!"

I don't know if they are really stupid or they are dazzled by hunger, or maybe it is the confidence brought by the superiority in numbers, the robbers have more than a dozen people, and the convoy is only seven guards, if they want to rob this convoy with more people, they obviously miscalculated.

Each of these men was wearing leather armor, the weapons in their hands were bronze halberds, and they were carrying wooden longbows on their backs, and even when they stepped off the war horses, they were all draped all over their bodies, and their faces were fierce and vicious, and they did not show any fear because of the large number of robbers.

On the other hand, the opponent is pitiful, and the leader holds a knife in his hand, and the others are spears sharpened from wood, looking at the horses of several people, is that a horse? Not as fat as the donkey of the Zhao family, standing scrawny and shaky on the dusty avenue.

The old servant who drove the car got out of the car and stood aside respectfully, Zhao Qi opened the curtain and was about to go down, but was grabbed by Zhao Ji. Seeing Zhao Ji shaking his head, he could only retract unhappily.

Zhao Ji is not afraid that he is in danger, she knows Zhao Qi's skills very well, there are few people under the secret department of Qin State, he is mainly afraid that someone will sneak attack the carriage, if Yingzheng is injured, then the people in this car will inevitably die.

The people who escorted the carriage were all a gang of killers, and they did it without saying a word. The leader drew his knife and spat: "Look for death!" He drew his sword and rushed over, and the other guards were not to be outdone, vying to be the first to pat the horse.

The battlefield entered the herd of wolves and sheep, and after the leader of the guard cut off one person first, the robbers were intimidated in seconds, and I don't know who shouted "Run!" The robbers, who had just flaunted their might, dropped their weapons and began to flee.

Zhao Qi was very bored and couldn't understand how such a person was embarrassed to come out and be a robber.

Where will those killers let them escape easily? The horse chased out, Zhao Qi suddenly thought of something, and wanted to stop them, but it was too late, whether it was the robbers or the guards, they had already run away, and there were only two guards left in front of the convoy. Zhao Qi jumped out of the car, helped the servant who was driving into the carriage, and quickly climbed onto the edge of the carriage, threw up the whip on the horse's buttocks, and shouted to the guards, "Go!" ”。

This is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!

The two guards didn't think so, what was the use of a little kid being nervous? No one would take him seriously, except for Zhao Ji, who was a smart woman, and she guessed what was going on at once, and immediately ordered the guards: "Go quickly!"

The convoy slowly began to move, and at this time, there were shouts of killing in the woods on both sides of the avenue, and countless big men with Mo knives rushed out, and the two guards realized the danger at this time. At this time, it was too late to run, and the two dismounted and blocked in front of the carriage.

The robbers were menacing, and surrounded the carriage in an instant, Zhao Qi took a look, there were no less than twenty of these people, and they were well-armed, although many of them were shirtless, but the knives in their hands were real steel knives. In this era when steel is rarer than bronze, it is obviously not a grass coward who can send steel knives to everyone.

Zhao Qi had reason to suspect that this was a killer sent by Zichu's enemies.

"Get out of the car!" The bearded rough man raised the Mo knife in his hand and yelled at the people in the car,

The two guards wanted to rush over, but Zhao Qi grabbed their shoulders stiffly, and they realized how terrifying this kid who looked like he was only ten years old.

"Don't act rashly." Zhao Qi whispered in the ears of the two, then let go of his hand, held his head with both hands and got out of the carriage with his head down.

Zhao Ji also pulled the trembling Yingzheng out of the car.

Seeing Zhao Ji's appearance, the leading rough man's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Today's trip is in vain, I didn't expect there to be a beautiful woman in the car, the brothers caught me and brought it back to be Mrs. Zhai!"

Zhao Qi quietly piled up to Ying Zheng's side, he couldn't control Zhao Ji's life or death, but Ying Zheng must keep it. This figure who will be a leader in the future must not have any mistakes.
