Chapter Forty-Eight: The Water is Deep and Fierce, and the Grass is Dark
When Xiao Que woke up, he heard Ying Que say that it was the third day after the night banquet, and from Ying Que's mouth, Xiao Chuan learned that it was Ying Xuan who saved him, and when he heard Ying Que say that Ying Xuan entered the Qin Palace again today, Xiao Chuan couldn't help but worry for Ying Que, "This unlucky Win clan patriarch won't braid, if this is the case, wouldn't his sin be in vain", but Xiao Chuan rarely saw Ying Xuan that afternoon.

Ying Xuan asked, "How do you feel, are you healed?"
"This is no ordinary poison, how can I get better so quickly?"
"Then leave you some entanglements, we will leave Xianyang tomorrow, thank you for this trip to the Qin Palace, your poison has been cleared, you are free"
"Can I ask how my poison was removed?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Didn't the patriarch just ask me if I was cured, I don't know if anyone in the past who has been able to heal in just a few days after being heavily poisoned"
"Oh..."
"The patriarch didn't forget to set Xiao Chuan when he was holding the heart of death in the Qin Palace that day, Xiao Chuan naturally had to be careful"
Ying Xuan didn't speak, squinting at Xiaochuan. Xiao Chuan continued, "The patriarch seems to have a heart-to-heart with Xiao Chuan's words, but when you think about it, it's really interesting, the patriarch is indeed telling the truth, the big truth, but it's a pity that everything you said is in the past tense, since it is in the past tense, then may I ask the patriarch, the effect of this past tense is still geometric."
Ying Xuan said curiously, "It turns out that the world likes to listen to lies, but they don't agree with the truth."
"At least Ogawa disagrees"
Ying Xuan smiled and said, "But why?"
"The truth is a lie, it's addictive, but there is a good saying in our place, a person has been wearing a mask for too long, but he doesn't see his original face, patriarch, do you think it's funny?"
"Hehe, you were saved by me with a tiger talisman, are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Sure enough, what I expected was good, you didn't bring the tiger talisman into the Qin Palace, because you were afraid that you would be won by the Empress Dowager Xuan."
"I just don't want the things in the clan to fall into the hands of the Empress Mi and others, hehe, even if they get it, they don't know the secret"
Xiao Chuan heard that the heart said, "Sure enough" This tiger talisman is by no means an ordinary thing, Xiao Chuan couldn't help but think that in the 21st century, he was saved by the tiger talisman, when he was poisoned by the snake, or thanks to the tiger talisman to save his life, but time passed, I didn't expect that I traveled to the era of King Qin Zhao at the end of the Warring States period and was saved by the tiger talisman again, it was really a thousand years of fate. Xiao Chuan hurriedly said to Ying Xuan, "Then I implore the patriarch to borrow the tiger talisman to use."
"You can rest and rest," Ying Xuan said and ignored Xiao Chuan and pushed open the door and walked out.
In the early morning of the next day, Ying Xuan and his party put their packed bags on horseback, and Yingque, who had not seen Xiaochuan when they set off, couldn't help but say anxiously, "Wait, sister, Xiaochuan is still in the future."
"Yi Xiaochuan is free from today onwards, he is no longer a shadow, he will naturally go where he should go"
"But, sister..."
Ying Xuan didn't pay attention to Ying Que anymore, he had already waved his horsewhip and galloped away, and the rest of the people chased after him, Ying Que looked at the quiet courtyard, and then looked at the group of people who were far away, and had to catch up with Ying Xuan and others.
Xiaochuan had already gotten up, and when he saw such a scene, he had to feel ashamed, "What a Ying clan patriarch, you can really calm down, are you so sure that I Yi Xiaochuan can't leave you, hmph, okay, let's see."
When Ying Xuan and his entourage quickly marched to Du You, Xiao Chuan had been waiting at the pavilion for a long time, everyone was surprised, Ying Xuan and Ying Yue, who were the first two riders, obviously already knew, Ying Xuan dismounted with a smile, and Ying Yue settled everyone to rest for a while.
Xiaochuan asked Yingxuan, "How about I make a bet with the patriarch today?"
Ying Xuan said, "Qin people are not good at gambling, but it doesn't hurt to listen to you."
Xiao Chuan sneered, "That day said that if I completed three tasks, I would be able to retire, and today I am willing to do three major things for the patriarch, and I will use the tiger talisman I begged for."
"What three things"
"The first thing is to save the people of the Ying clan from danger; Second, there is no power of Empress Dowager Xuan and others above the temple of the Qin people; The third one will be left to you, and when you think of it later, I will do one of the things you ask for you, how about it?"
Ying Xuan smiled and said, "Good conditions, but it's difficult, do you have the ability?" ”
"I don't need to tell you what I do, you just need to tell me if I agree to my conditions."
"Yes, deal"
Xiao Chuan smiled and took out a piece of solid colored cloth, and said with a smile, "I also ask the patriarch to write a blood book and swear by the people of the Ying clan."
Yingque, who had been standing quietly beside Yingxuan, heard Xiaochuan say this, and said anxiously, "Xiaochuan, are you crazy, how can you swear blood with your sister"
Xiao Chuan smiled and said nothing, Ying Xuan smiled and looked at the cloth without a word, bit his finger and handed it to Xiao Chuan after writing the blood, Xiao Chuan put it away with a smile and asked, "I don't know if the patriarch is rushing to Zhao at this moment"
Ying Xuan smiled and said, "Wei Ran and others have informed some people of the news that the Qin State is about to attack Zhao, and at this moment, the Zhao State has sent cavalry to surround my Ying clan and the Qin tribes on the border of Qin and Zhao."
"I'm afraid that if you go now, you can only collect their corpses for them"
"Yes, although it is a danger of hanging upside down, and it has happened back and forth, but I can't always take a detour because my estimate is correct."
Xiao Chuan sneered, "If it's good to collect the corpse, I'm afraid that they will besiege and not attack, and wait for Your Excellency."
Ying Xuan smiled, "Even so, I have to go"
When the group arrived at the border of Qin and Zhao, the scene in front of them surprised everyone. If it weren't for the broken houses and burning frames, it would be basically impossible to see that this was once a tribe, the scene here is more like a battlefield, there are corpses of Qin people everywhere, young and middle-aged, old people, children, women, those people have more than one wound on their bodies, except for the very small children who were killed in the arms of the woman, but all the older children, not far from the children's corpses, are skimming all kinds of knives, seeing this situation, it should be adults and children who died in a hurry.
Ying Xuan closed her lips tightly and waved to Ying Yue and the others. The rest of the people hurriedly began to search for the survivors, and after a while, Ying Yue came to Ying Xuan's side and said, "Patriarch, none of the five villages survived, all of them died in battle."
Ying Xuan asked coldly, "Are all the women holding the children also killed in battle?" ”
Ying Yue didn't know how to answer.
Ying Xuan said, "This is a slaughter"
Ying Yue said, "Patriarch, don't be too worried, I just checked the bodies of the victims, and the patriarch of my clan's combat power should still believe it, although the Zhao people have taken their bodies away, but presumably their losses are not small."
Ying Xuan said: "Is the other party a cavalry?" ”
"Yes, many children and women have fatal wounds in the neck"
Ying Xuan looked at the crowd and said, "Gather the people of Wudi Village and bury them"
Everyone threw up their hands and said "No" in unison
Ying Xuan, Ying Yue and others were discussing in a tent set up temporarily. Ogawa thought that he would be excluded, but he didn't expect Yingyue to come and invite him personally, and Ogawa couldn't adapt to this kind of treatment for a while.
Two guards outside the tent guarded at the door, and entered the tent, at this moment there were Ying Xuan and Ying Que in the middle, plus Ying Yue and Xiao Chuan, a total of four people.
Ying Xuan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "Time is pressing, I'll just say it directly, Xiaochuan, you and Ying Que immediately take my warrant to the other three villages of our people at the border of Qin and Zhao, and ask them to step up their preparations for war, set up horse stakes and traps in many places outside the village where they live, slow down the speed of the Zhao cavalry, and each village will distribute weapons to the villagers to prevent the Zhao people from sneaking up again. ”
Both Ogawa and Yingque felt that the matter was serious, so they both immediately replied "yes"
Ying Xuan continued: "Ying Yue, you personally went to the Yuzhong area, mobilized the cavalry strength of our people here, carried light weapons and three-day rations, divided the cavalry into two, and moved at your own time to attack Yunzhong County of Zhao State. ”
Yingyue Road "Obey"
Ying Xuan instructed, "Tell the clansmen that this campaign is not revenge, but deterrence."
Ying Yue clearly said "no"
Yingque said, "Return to Yongcheng immediately after the incident"
"No"
When Xiaochuan and Ying Xuan returned, they encountered a small-scale battle between Qin and Zhao, and everyone knows that the advantage of Zhao is cavalry, and the advantage of Qin is crossbowmen, but the Qin people at this moment, to be precise, the Ying clan people are more like a Qin army with fierce combat power, although the war horses ridden by the Qin people at this moment cannot meet the specifications of the war horses required by the Qin army when fighting, but looking up, a considerable number of these horses are still trained, Roughly close to the Qin army's war horses up to more than 1.33 meters of requirements, it seems that the Qin people are still very good horses, although the war horses here are uneven, but the knights are all strong and brave, wearing short armor, holding short arrows.
Although the infantry next to the cavalry is old and young, but Yingyue does have two brushes, he relies on the only resources in his hands, and can configure the clansmen into such a formation is also a talent, worthy of being the next patriarch candidate set by Yingque, Xiaochuan asked himself as a person in the 21st century, that is, let himself arrange his troops, I am afraid it will not be better than Yingyue, Yingyue will arrange the clansmen with bows and arrows on the two wings of the cavalry team, and line up the people with spears, Ge and halberds behind the cavalry, it should be said that this arrangement is still very good, The mobility of the cavalry was very good in plain wilderness and general hilly and mountainous operations. After a drum, the two sides lined up to fight, and everywhere they looked, corpses and trees were piled up everywhere, and Kawahara Dan was bleeding. After Ying Yue waved his hand at Xiao Chuan and Ying Que after the battle, he immediately left as a team, and Xiao Chuan asked, "Are they going to attack the next point?" ”
Ying Que replied, "It should be, it may also be to rush back to prevent a sneak attack by the cavalry of Zhao State", Ying Que looked at Xiao Chuan and said, "Let's hurry back to Yongcheng", Xiao Que nodded, and the two of them hurried back to Yongcheng of Qin State.
