Chapter 646: The Dusty Past

Two years later, the man had blended into the village as the mother and daughter, and the people were no longer interested in his past, but had completely regarded him as family, although they did not know how he had come to work sometimes, or whether he was really teaching the children kung fu with some twigs or fooling the children.

People only know him by a very common name, called Zhao Gang. This is a name that Da Qin doesn't know how many people are calling, including his height and appearance, all of which are types that can't be found in the crowd at all, people always believe that heroes will not be like this, and people who are treacherous and evil will not be like this.

This Zhao Gang is naturally Zhao Gang in Zhao Hu's mouth, he did come with a purpose, he received the order of Zhao Cheng given to him by Zhao Gaotuo, the content of the order is to let him find the child who was released by Yinggao not long after Liu Bang was born, and then approach this child, but he can't let his identity be exposed, and then just wait for Zhao Cheng's next order.

Zhao Gang did follow Zhao Cheng's arrangement, and finally found Liu Bang's child after spending a lot of effort, and also used his relationship and ability over the years to obtain an identity and become a citizen of the same village as this child, and he was indeed waiting for Zhao Cheng's next order.

If Zhao Cheng gave him an order not long after he found this child, Zhao Gang would definitely have successfully completed the task given to him by Zhao Cheng, but Zhao Cheng did not, Zhao Gang waited for a long time, and got a news from Xianyang City that surprised him, that is, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were captured by Emperor Daqin and taken to Xianyang City, and they had been executed.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Zhao Gang, giving him the idea that he didn't know what he was going to live for next. In the past thirty years, the meaning of Zhao Gang's existence was to carry out the tasks assigned to him by Zhao Ingwei, and the purpose was naturally to repay Zhao Gao's kindness.

Although when Zhao Gao died, he already knew that the reason why Zhao Gao had saved a lot of tasks like him and Zhao Hu was to make them a sharp blade in Zhao Hu's hands, but it was a fact that Zhao Gao saved himself when he was young, since it was a fact, he had to repay the favor, instead of caring whether what Zhao Gao did was right or wrong, even if he had the ability to judge right and wrong, he couldn't choose to let himself do what he thought was right.

However, people, whether they are good or bad, are not cold-blooded, they are very rich and non-emotional.

When the news of Zhao Cheng's death came, Zhao Gang knew that his life was over when he lived for others, and then, he could finally live for himself, although he was still completing the task assigned to him by Zhao Cheng at the end, but Zhao Cheng did not tell Zhao Gang what his final purpose was for Zhao Gang to approach this child.

Zhao Gang has seen the changes in Daqin over the years, he knows that Daqin's sky should not change, and Yinggao is a once-in-a-lifetime Ming Jun is already a fact that everyone should admit.

He even had a lot of feelings for this child who had been with him for several years, and he felt that since God had arranged him to be by this child's side, it was not a good thing for him to accompany this child to grow up.

Zhao Gang, who unloaded the burden, did not tell him the true identity of the boy, he knew that the woman next to the boy must have been arranged by the Emperor of Great Qin, although Yinggao wanted to leave a life of this child and let him spend his life safely, but he would not let him do whatever he didn't care, of course, the last thing Yinggao wanted to see was that this child would know his life experience when he grew up, and then become an anti-Qin force.

Zhao Gang also knew that the boy who didn't know his true identity might live happily all the time, but once he knew that he was the son of Liu Ji from Pei County, and that his parents were executed in Xianyang City by the emperor of Great Qin, his life would be shrouded in hatred and shadows.

Zhao Gang, who had no baggage, looked no different from his previous performance in the village, but he knew that if he was just a wandering spirit with a body here before, now he had obviously become a real member of this village.

In this way, Zhao Gang accompanied the child for more than a year, and just when he thought that such days would go on forever, a businessman from the Peacock Dynasty changed all that.

Although the land of Yan Zhao is a bitter cold land in Daqin, because the land of Yan Zhao is not very far from Xianyang City, the capital of Daqin, and there are many immigrants of the Mauryan Dynasty here, the land of Yan Zhao is often run by merchants of the Peacock Dynasty.

Although they have not seen any decent merchants of the Peacock Dynasty in this small village over the years, there are still a few merchants who have come here by mistake, and this time, the situation is similar to the previous times.

A merchant from the Mauryan Dynasty arrived here, and the children were undoubtedly the most excited, but the merchant was obviously very disgusted with this very small village, and after a brief inquiry from door to door, he left in a huff.

What people didn't notice was that for the whole day after the merchant from the Peacock Dynasty left, Zhao Gang locked himself in his room and didn't go out.

Yes, the merchant of the Peacock Dynasty did not come here by accident, he collected a lot of money from the Romans, so he temporarily changed the route to this land of Yan Zhao, and his purpose was naturally to hand over a letter to Zhao Gang.

This is the letter from Zhao Hu's hand, although the Romans have used the greatest force they can use, but this letter still took almost half a year to reach Zhao Gang's hands.

Zhao Hu is almost the same person as Zhao Gang, and they are all the best among the dead soldiers under Zhao Gao.

But among these leaders, Zhao Hu is also the absolute eldest brother, when Zhao Gao died, the only people who had the conditions not to be connected were Zhao Gang and Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu protected Zhao Cheng in Xianyang City, and Zhao Gang was collecting news in the periphery.

Now that Zhao Cheng is dead, Zhao Gang takes it for granted that Zhao Hu should no longer be alive, but in this letter, according to Zhao Hu, he obeyed Zhao Cheng's last wishes, survived, and continued to oppose Qin.

Zhao Gao has been fighting for anti-Qin all his life, which Zhao Gang knows, so Zhao Hu said that he is continuing to oppose Qin, and if Zhao Gang does not move, he will undoubtedly fall into a situation of disloyalty and injustice.

According to Zhao Hu, what Zhao Gang has to do is very simple, if Liu Bang's child is still under Zhao Gang's surveillance, Zhao Gang only needs to tell him the true identity of this child, and then take him back to Pei County secretly, take the opportunity to inform the identity of this child to the families of the people of Pei County who have followed Liu Bang to oppose Qin and died under the sword of the Great Qin soldiers, and let out the wind, the emperor of Great Qin, Yinggao, was beaten by the Romans in Seleuc, which is very far away from Great Qin. It may not be possible to return to the territory of Great Qin at all.

In this way, those Peixian people who originally had hatred for Daqin and Yinggao in their hearts have a very big possibility of opposing Qin, as long as they are against Qin, Zhao Hu's goal will be achieved, for Yinggao, nothing is more important than his base camp Central Plains, if he knows that the people of Peixian County will be the first to rush back to Daqin, as long as Yinggao rushes back to Daqin, the Romans will greatly enhance their confidence in Daqin.

In Zhao Hu's mind, Zhao Gang must still have the same heart as himself, so he didn't hide anything from Zhao Gang, and directly told Zhao Gang that after doing these things, he could go from the Western Regions to the Peacock Dynasty, and then to the boundaries of Rome.

But Zhao Hu is Zhao Hu, Zhao Cheng is Zhao Cheng, Zhao Gang has also undergone Zhao Gao's various trainings, he can still see through general things, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai were caught by Daqin's generals, but Zhao Hu escaped, the only possibility here is that Zhao Hu gave up Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai ran away by himself, he has this ability, if he wants to choose to protect Zhao Cheng to the death, he can either rescue Zhao Cheng, or be arrested with Zhao Cheng But if there is a third possibility, it is his own choice.

After Zhao Gao was killed by the three clans, choosing to protect Zhao Cheng was destined to live a life of stealth, and now Zhao Hu used his ability to take refuge in the Roman consuls, although he was also anti-Qin, but what he got was power and glory.

Zhao Gang, who had thought about all these things, didn't know how to do it a little, and he sat in his room for a day, which had never happened before.

In fact, Zhao Gang understands very well in his heart that there are only two things that affect people's decisions, one is interests, and the other is emotion, if he does what Zhao Hu said, even if he chooses interests, the final result is that Yinggao is back, this child will definitely not exist in this world again, and himself, if he can successfully reach the boundary of Rome, he can almost become a noble figure as Zhao Hu told him.

But if he really did that, the relationship he had established with this child over the years would be in vain, when he was under Zhao Gao's command before, he did kill a lot of people, but those people were people who had no contact with him, when he killed these people, he didn't know whether those people were good or bad, and he didn't have a chance to know, he was just a machine, constantly running.

But now it's different, he has lived a normal life for several years, and he knows that at the bottom of this dynasty, there are still some very simple emotions, which he didn't feel in the first half of his life, and it is also an emotion that he wants to be able to experience in the second half of his life.

If he chooses profit, he will destroy such emotions with his own hands.

Zhao Gang knew that the merchant from the Peacock Dynasty would let Zhao Hu know that he had successfully accepted the letter after a few months, but after all, he was in the territory of Great Qin, whether it was the Roman Empire or any other empire, it was impossible to go to the territory of Great Qin to do what to himself, so there was still plenty of time left for himself to make a decision.

In the blink of an eye, it was getting late, Zhao Gang's yard was in a very remote location in the village, and the house was also very short.

"Why don't you go and play with us today, without you, we haven't caught a single fish in the river."

This voice is the voice of Liu Bang's children, Zhao Gang almost every day with those children to the river near the village to fish, after the catch to each of the children to give a one, back home can be regarded as able to make up for the food in the family, but today, Zhao Gang did not appear for a day, which made several children very disappointed.

When this voice appeared, it was the time when Zhao Gang's heart was most entangled, but this voice was like a ray of light in the dim situation in his heart, as if Zhao Gang knew what he wanted in this life.

"Good! Why not go catch fish now? ”

The boy waited for a while, and then waited for Zhao Gang's strong voice, and the three children inside and outside the courtyard immediately cheered, and as soon as the words fell, Zhao Gang pushed the door out and strode out with them in the direction of the river.

Of course, Yinggao doesn't know anything about this series of things, and even Zhao Hu doesn't care very much about Yinggao, let alone Zhao Gang, Yinggao doesn't know that there is such a person, although Yinggao is the emperor, and the things in his head can almost beat the people of this era, but he is not a god, he won't know what small things he missed at some point.

When he let go of Liu Bang's child, that is, Liu Ying in his previous life, of course Yinggao knew the situation he might face in the future, but Liu Ying was just a child who didn't remember much at the time, and in Yinggao's cognition, if he killed him, it would not be much different from Bai Qi.

Cutting the grass does not eradicate the roots, and the truth that the spring breeze blows and grows again is not that Yinggao does not understand, but he has absolute confidence in the situation he may face in the future.
