The steep cliff outside Hangu Pass stands between two mountains, and there are Qin soldiers in black armor standing straight on the quaint wall, but these well-equipped Qin soldiers are afraid in their eyes, and they look at the dense gray camp tents outside Hangu Pass, and the camp tents are very many and stretch for no less than ten miles, there are Chu troops in these rebels, and there are farmers and the remnants of the six countries.

Wang Li lost no less than 200,000 elites of the empire in the decisive battle with Xiang Yu, and there were no more than 10,000 elite soldiers available in the entire Xianyang Pass.

I think that the Qin State faced such a dangerous situation back then, or nearly a hundred years ago, the coalition army of the six countries claimed to be one million to attack the Qin State, but at that time, the Qin State was both internal and external to resist the strong enemy, and there were hundreds of thousands of elites in the Qin State, but how could the current Qin State be compared with that time.

Hu Hai in Xianyang Palace doesn't know how long he hasn't slept well, no matter how the military orders in Xianyang are executed, there are no less than 100 Qin nobles who flee Xianyang and flee to Guanzhong every day, and the Qin people who stay in Xianyang are also uneasy, and many old Qin people are thinking about the old king.

Some people fled Xianyang, and some people wanted to defend the empire at the last moment.

The sheepskin notices for recruiting soldiers on the streets have been pasted all over the streets and alleys, and many Qin people who still look like children have been incorporated into the army, and there are even gray-haired old Qin soldiers trembling and holding the halberd that has long been unable to move and carefully wiping it, at least they will not die without dignity.

Luo Chong returned home when he got the notice on the street, and took out the Qin sword hidden in the cellar under the incomprehensible gaze of his wife, the long sword was unsheathed, and the sword was covered with a layer of old ash for a long time, Luo Chong picked up the rag on the table and carefully wiped it with the well water, although the Qin sword had not been used for a long time, but when the water wiped off the layer of dust on the sword, it was still as bright as ever.

Luo Chong looked at the long sword in his hand and said in a low voice, "Old friends meet again." ”

After all, a sword is a sword and a sharp weapon for killing.

Perhaps it was the previous days, and there were tears in the eyes of his former comrade-in-arms Luo Chong.

The wooden fence outside the courtyard suddenly clicked, and several hurried footsteps sounded outside.

This place is far from the center of Xianyang, in an extremely remote location, even the sergeants patrolling the city do not want to stay in this place, except for some mischievous half-grown children in the vicinity who will come to make trouble, there is no one else, and every time those children come, Luo Chong will pant and chase out a few streets.

It's just that now those half-grown children have been handed over to the city gate official for simple training, and he hasn't seen them for a few days, and some people in Xianyang City who fish in troubled waters often appear, and these Qin people who live in remote places can only rely on themselves.

Luo Chong blew out the oil lamp on the wooden table, took the long sword placed on the table and walked out, although he was old, his hand holding the sword was still strong.

The moonlight could faintly see a few sneaky figures through the dense dark clouds.

He took his sword and saw a figure stabbed forward, a flash of light flashed, and another sword slashed the long sword in his hand straight and the tip of the sword fell straight down into the mud-stained earth.

Falling with the sword light was another voice.

"Captain Wu is me."

Luo Chong was stunned.

Chu Nan took off his hood and revealed his face so that Luo Chong could see it clearly.

"Chu Nan."

Luo Chong was surprised, and then he didn't care about the long sword on the ground and looked around, there have always been few people passing by here, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled him in and let him in.

He lit the oil lamp and told his wife to get some simple food and light the oil lamp.

In the past, Chu Nan was just a small soldier who needed him to take care of, and in his eyes, Chu Nan was like his own child, but the wanted notice for him in Xianyang City was still not revoked, even in the current tense atmosphere.

"How dare you come?"

Luo Chong's anxious eyes were more worried.

"Don't ask so much? I bring a person. ”

Luo Chong stopped his voice, and then looked at the person who came in with Chu Nan and was also wearing a black robe, and the person's face was hidden under the black hood, which made it difficult to see.

The man under the oil lamp had a somewhat dark face peculiar to the north on his face, and his eyebrows and eyes were like two straight ink lines, even though he was wearing an ordinary black robe, but the noble temperament flowing from his body could not be concealed in any way, and even because of his appearance, the small grass hut brightened up in an instant.

"It's... He....... ”

Luo Chong looked at Chu Nan and was already a little incoherent.

Chu Nan nodded.

"Former Qin soldier commander Luo worships seeing Gongzi."

Luo Chong's body trembled and knelt down to salute, and it was even more difficult to hide the excitement on his face, for many princes living in Xianyang Palace, it was more difficult for these ordinary soldiers to see each other than to ascend to the sky.

The last time before the army set out, Luo Chong had only seen His Majesty the Emperor from afar, and the half-grown Fusu beside His Majesty, but this time Fusu really appeared in front of him.

Luo Chong's wife looked at her husband and seemed to understand something. Salute in unison.

Fusu Gongzi came to Xianyang at this time, and everyone knew what he was here for? If Zhao Gao knew the whereabouts of his son, he would be afraid that he would die.

"So I didn't take my son to other places, but came to you, Captain Wu."

"Luo Chong must swear to protect his son to the death."

Although he has withdrawn from the Qin army for many years, he is a Qin man after all, and the old Qin people are no different from before.
