Chapter 4 Danger lurks
Han Qian sat there in shock, beads of sweat on his forehead gurgling down, and the thin clothes draped on his body were soaked with sweat almost instantly!
Before the night before, Han Qian was still full of resentment towards his father Han Daoxun's discipline of him.
Not to mention driving him to the courtyard of Qiuhu Mountain, he also ordered Fan Xicheng's old miscellaneous dog to keep an eye on his every move, and his life was taken care of by the ugly maid Qingyun, who was covered with fetal spots on his face and was emaciated, and he was locked in the study all day long, and he was not free at all, which made him miss the days of unrestrained and bullying in Xuanzhou.
He was locked up in another courtyard for more than a month, he was in a very irritable mood, and he didn't want to leave and flee back to Xuanzhou all the time, but at this moment, he thought that Jing Niang was the slave sent to him by the second uncle Han Daochang from his side, and that Zhao Zhi was the house slave sent to him by the second uncle Han Daochang from his side, and even three years ago he broke Jing Niang and his cousin Han Jungou, which was also the dog slave Zhao Zhi seemed to say it unintentionally.
Han Qian's hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't suppress the shock in his heart after a few gasps.
Zhai Xinping, a person in the dream world, not only has he experienced too much deceit in just one life, but the history books he likes to read are also full of all kinds of unbelievable conspiracies.
Maybe the dream is too real, so real that it is like Han Qian spent an alternative life in a dream, and it is so real that it is like the life memory of Zhai Xinping, a person in the dream, has been integrated into his bone marrow, so that he will also subconsciously think about problems from an angle that he has never had before.
This made him seriously reflect on his days in Xuanzhou for the first time in the past six years, and he was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold.
The second uncle, Han Daochang, treated him as gentle and harmless as he imagined.
At the age of twelve, he naturally had never seen the sinister nature of human nature, and before that, where would he have thought that his six years of abandonment and stubbornness at this time were really intentional by his second uncle Han Daochang?

Han Qian sat in a daze for a long time, the sky was bright, and at this time he vaguely heard shouting in the distance, he knew that this was the family soldier who lived in the villa came out early in the morning to practice fists and feet, riding and shooting.
Emperor Tianyou relied on the generals and wealthy families to achieve things, laying the foundation of the Chu State, the Chu State was newly created, and the strong enemies around it were not destroyed, and the Emperor Tianyou easily did not dare to change the military system, and even took out the soldiers from time to time as a reward to his meritorious generals.
Therefore, the wealthy family has family soldiers, which is the norm in the world.
Han is certainly no exception.
Han's family soldiers, except for a few who stayed in Xuanzhou and obeyed the dispatch of his second uncle Han Daochang, followed Han Daoming, the eldest uncle who served as the assassin of Chizhou at this time.
However, his father Han Daoxun has been in the local government over the years, and he has also personally been rewarded with 20 soldiers.
These people are all veterans who have followed Han Daoxun in recent years.
His father, Han Daoxun, went to Beijing to take up a post, and the house in Jinling City was small and could not accommodate too many people, so he purchased a mountain villa outside the city and settled most of the soldiers and their families here......
Family soldiers!
"I want to raise troops in Xuanzhou, the ancestral land, and I send you to the soldiers on the way, and the car is split in the ...... city"
Thinking of this passage in the dream, Han Qian's forehead couldn't help but jump violently, thinking that he scolded Fan Xicheng and these old dogs on weekdays, and he really didn't scold them at all.
These family soldiers, who ate his family at this time and used his family, finally experienced drastic changes in the Han family, not to mention the loyalty to escort him to Xuanzhou, and even sent him to the government on the way to be executed, not a miscellaneous dog that was not familiar with it and bit its owner indiscriminately, what is it?
At this moment, Han Qian couldn't wait to hold the black cloud bow in his hand and run out to shoot the soldiers of the villa one by one.
Han Qian was so angry that he couldn't calm down, and he couldn't wait to smash everything in the study to relieve the hatred in his heart.
After a long time, Han Qian gradually calmed down.
At this time, there has been no drastic change in his family, and the family soldiers have not betrayed him, not to mention shooting these family soldiers who are not useful in the end, even if he wants to drive these family soldiers out of the Han family, his father Han Daoxun will never agree.
What can he say at this time, saying that one day in the next four years, his father will be killed by the Heavenly Blessing Emperor Scepter Wenying Palace, and he will be betrayed by these family soldiers on the way to Xuanzhou?
Even if all the soldiers will betray him in the future, he can't figure it out!
Thinking of this, Han Qian couldn't help but think of the many details that happened on the night Yao Xishui came to the door to poison him.
That night, the ugly maid Qingyun was first driven out by his temper, and after nightfall, Yao Xishui suddenly came to the door, prepared wine and drank with him in the study, and then he was poisoned and fell unconscious on the bookcase, falling into that strange dream.
When he woke up, his consciousness was still a little blurry, but he also heard a few crucial words.
Yao Xishui and the man, with all these scheming, is it not simply to poison him, or to create the illusion that he died of a violent illness?
Yao Xishui and the man were frightened away by Fan Xicheng and others who rushed over when they heard the movement, judging from Fan Xicheng's reaction later, they didn't seem to know about Yao Xishui's visit?
In the villa, Han Qian lived alone in the East Courtyard, and because his father was afraid that he would indulge in the affairs of men and women, even if he was an ugly maid Qingyun, he was forbidden to enter the East Courtyard at night, so as long as he didn't make a loud noise, Fan Xicheng and the others might indeed not know that Yao Xishui came to the door at night.
However, how could Yao Xishui know this, so that she dared to calmly go into the study to drink with him, without fear of alarming the others in the villa?
Among the family soldiers or slaves in the villa, someone reported to Yao Xishui for ventilation?
His father was still a minister in the court, and before he was killed by the Heavenly Blessing Emperor's staff, Han Qian didn't believe that all the family soldiers had betrayed his family, but who was bold and reckless, secretly colluding with Yao Xishui and reporting the news?
Han Qian took a breath, secretly feeling that it was useless to worry about the future at this time, and he had to solve the current crisis first!
His mind unconsciously became calm and delicate, no longer impatient and reckless......

After autumn, the morning was a little cool, Han Qian put on a thin coat and pushed the door out, took the black cloud bow and followed the sound from the family soldier drill through the west courtyard.
On the west side of the courtyard, an empty field the size of three or four acres of land was cleared and rolled with a stone mill.
This is the training ground for the soldiers of the mountain villa in peacetime, and the weapon racks on the side of the field are placed with guns, sticks, halberds, lances, longbows and other weapons, as well as a few stone locks for training.
There are also two courtyards on the north and south sides of the martial arts training ground, and the east courtyard where Han Qian lives together form the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard.
The east courtyard was the most exquisite, and the twenty or thirty houses were the master's room and the personal slave maids, but at night, only Han Qian lived there.
The north courtyard is the largest, with fifty or sixty houses, which are the residences of the soldiers and the family, as well as the kitchen, stables and other ancillary buildings, but they are all quite simple, all of them are thatched huts and earthen walls.
According to Chu law, these family soldiers were attached to his father Han Daoxun, and the family members of the family soldiers were also incorporated into the Han family and served as slaves.
There are only five inverted rooms in the south courtyard, which is also the entrance to the villa, blocking the valley entrance in and out of the villa, and is usually guarded by family soldiers.
Although the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard is only thirty or forty miles away from the capital Jinling, robbers are rampant in these years, and the vicinity of Jinling City is not peaceful.
At this time, Fan Xicheng was arranging for people to build a parapet wall, to enclose the entire mountain villa, but the project is quite large, and there are few people who can use it, so he is only in the south courtyard, along the southern edge of the martial arts training ground, to build a loess wall, in case a large group of bandits break in from outside the valley.
Although it is said to be a mountain villa, it is actually located in a valley at the southern foot of Baohua Mountain.
There is a stream flowing down from the mountain on the west side of the martial arts training field, the bamboo trees are sandwiched, and the rocks are piled up, dividing the valley into two pieces, the east side is the villa courtyard, and the west side is more open, and three or four hundred acres of fields have been reclaimed, and those fields and the hills behind the villa also belong to the villa, and some thatched huts are scattered for the tenants who are attached to the villa to live.
The creek passes through the earthen wall of the south courtyard, and the terrain descends quite rapidly, and when it reaches two or three miles away, there is a vast lake, and there are thirteen or fourteen miles in the distance.
This big lake is the Chishan Lake in the southeast of Jinling City, which gathers the streams and rivers that come out from the southern foot of Baohua Mountain, and has a river leading out to the northwest, joining the Qiupu River from the southwest corner of Jinling City, entering Jinling City through the water pass, and finally flowing into the Yangtze River from the Beicheng Water Pass......
Han Qian stood on the edge of the martial arts training ground, looking beyond the low wall made of rammed loess, he could see a lot of boats and boats moored in Chishan Lake, and a few painted painting boats were very eye-catching, thinking that Yao Xishui was the Oiran of the Late Red Mansion, would he just hide in those few painting boats and did not leave, waiting for another opportunity to attack him?
