Monumental Forest.

Not all the Qin soldiers who died on the battlefield can be buried in it, and under the strict assessment of the nineteenth-level military lord system, only those who have made outstanding contributions on the battlefield are fortunate to enter.

Among them, not all of them can enter at the level of generals, and they must go through strict evaluation, and they can only enter when the comprehensive score is reached, and there is only one person who is buried at the first level of captain.

Han IV.

This Qin military captain who attracted the encircled enemy to his side in order to cover his companions to break through and zuihou fought to his death, is a model and pride for all Great Qin soldiers.

On the way back to Guanzhong from Sanchuan County, Ma Jin heard a lot of strange stories about the Great Qin soldiers who made his blood boil, and what moved him the most was Han Si's deeds.

"He's a hero, he died in battle to cover his comrades, he's not a deserter, he's not a captive, he's the most respected man I've ever seen, his name is Han Si." Speaking of this, Han Heng's eyes were already shining.

"Han Si, haha, it's ridiculous, there are still people who take such a cheesy name. Wait, what do you say? Ma Jin sneered, and halfway through his words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

What a coincidence, could it be the same person.

"His name is Han Si, and he is the only captain who was buried in the Monument Forest, and he is the brother of General Han Xin." Han Heng stared at Ma Jin's eyes and said word by word.

Han IV.

The surname is Han, ranking fourth.

This name is inconspicuous, his personality is a little dull, and he is a silent man who can work as a skilled carpenter, but for Han Heng, who was still young at the time, it was the father who really gave her childhood beauty.

Although there is no blood relationship between them, Han Si used his unique way of caring to let Han Heng's mother and daughter get the most sincere warmth when they were most difficult and helpless.

To this day, she still clearly remembers that Han Heng's mother and daughter, who had been hungry for three days, were in a desperate mood. When she plucked up a little courage to push away the small wooden house with an oil lamp in Qixian, the young man who was looking down and planing the wooden planks looked surprised, and then, Han Heng saw the most heartwarming smile in her life.

Han Si didn't speak, just took off the sackcloth garment draped on his body, and covered it on the trembling Han Heng, after entering the house, a bowl of coarse corn rice, a mouthful of hot wild vegetable soup, when these rough food were brought to Han Heng, the mother and daughter could no longer control the gratitude in their hearts.

"Benefactor." Han Heng and his mother knelt down in front of Han Si. thanked him again and again, unlike his mother, who only took care of his thanks, Han Heng's sharp eyes clearly saw that in the vat where the millet was held, it was already empty and there was nothing.

What a gift it is.

In the case that he was not full, he also took out a little grain from Zuihou to help strangers, such a mind made Han Heng inexplicably grateful to Han Si in his heart.

Han Heng's mother and daughter, who had nowhere to go, were left behind, and Han Si followed the Qin army to Yongqi alone, and there was just a lack of a hostess at home. Under these two pleasures, Han Si and the young lady came together, of course, among them. Han Heng's matchmaking in the middle is indispensable.

After that, the carpenter man named Han Si took them in, and in order to feed the two extra people, he got up early and worked in the dark. Whenever Han Heng fell asleep, he could still hear the gentle coughing sound of him working. In the village, there were also talkative women who proposed to Han Si. Don't take in the woman with the oil bottle, but Han Si just smiled and didn't think so.

Every day.

He was all busy, and the food of a family of three had to be earned by his two hands, and originally, Han Si was completely a person who fed the whole family and lived an easy life.

Every time she thought of this, Han Heng's eyes were wet, she didn't dare to imagine that on that snowy night, if their mother and daughter blocked the door of another house, would they still have the luck they have now, say surely, like many refugees who fled all the way, they died early on the side of the road.

"Ah Heng, look at this puppet that Uncle made for you, does it look like it?" At the head of Han Heng's bed, the little puppet that Han Si carved all night on his sixth birthday was lying next to the pillow, and every time he saw it, he would make Han Heng wet the pillow towel with tears.

Han Si, who died on the battlefield, received the heaviest support from the Qin State, the house was rebuilt, and the annual grain and straw and other items were provided by the government regularly, in addition to these, Han Xin, a distant uncle, is now the general of the Qin State, so he will naturally not treat his brother's widow badly.

Father.

That's too heavy a word.

Ma Jin went out to fight when Han Heng was one year old, in the memory of the little girl, Ma Jin left almost no footprints, but Han Si is different, he is by his side at the important moment when he accompanies Han Heng's growth, and more importantly, Han Si left Han Heng the most valuable wealth.

Honor and dignity.

Han Heng's crisp voice echoed in the quiet room, and from time to time there was a woman's uncontrollable sobbing in the middle, for a woman who had once had happiness, even if it was short, it was enough for her to not tolerate others for the rest of her life.

Makin was silent.

Coward, deserter, captive, these words deeply pierced the scars in his heart that he was most reluctant to uncover. This daughter, who is already a stranger, is right, he is a coward, a person who is afraid of death. Compared to the rival in love who had never met and would never be able to meet Zaijian, he was too far behind.

Never more frustrated than he is now, he was a heroic opponent, and his short and ostentatious military career gave him a sense of helplessness to look up to.

He was a group of civilians who had followed Shenwu Hou for the longest time. After joining the army, he successfully persuaded the general Han Xin to surrender to Qin, so that Qin had a resourceful general, and later, in the battle of Wugong Mountain, he led a small army to contain a large number of enemies, thus giving friendly troops a chance to escape.

Such deeds, even if you just listen to them, can make people can't help but fluctuate and get excited. Such a rival in love, even if he dies, he Ma Jin can't compare.

"Young lady, Ah Heng, it's all good that Haode is alive, and your younger brother. I'm leaving. Ma Jin's eyes darkened, and while putting down the little boy, he picked up the burden of only a few clothes from the ground.

Aftermath.

Ma Jin, who thought he had returned to his home, found out that this was no longer his home, and now he had broken into someone else's home.

Let's go.

In the blink of an eye, it has long been a matter of time.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the group of brothers in the army, Ma Jin turned around and strode towards the dirt road from which he came, the road was ahead, and he wanted to fight for his share of glory.

"Father, father, where are you going?" When they reached the side of the road at the entrance of the village, behind Ma Jin, a thin figure stumbled after him, shouting.

Whatever?

No matter how hateful?

Blood is thicker than water, and as Ma Jin left the background farther and farther away, and getting smaller and smaller, Han Heng's nose was sour, and a light mist appeared in his eyes.

"Ah Heng, are you calling me? Father is going to Chang'an, first sacrifice to Brother Han, xiexie he will take care of you, and then, Father will go to the Tiger Prison Pass in Sanchuan County to serve in the army, you will wait for Father's good news at home. Ma Jin squeezed out a little smile and smiled at Han Heng.

Han Heng finally called him father.

To be honest, over the years, he, like all the men of the Qin State, has been constantly going from battlefield to battlefield, and the time he really spends at home is very small, and it is normal for Han Heng not to be close to him.

"Girl, tell your grandmother, it's all my fault, I don't blame him." Ma Jin stepped forward, touched Ma Heng's hair, and said lovingly.

Perhaps, no matter how hard he works in this life, he can't compare with Han Si, but Ma Jin still wants to join the army, which is not only his wish, but also the motivation for him to continue to live, take revenge on the Chu State, and get back the humiliation of the past few years.

――。

Ma Jin crossed the emotional hurdle that belonged to him.

Chang'an City, Shenwu Marquis Mansion.

The halberd bearer who was in charge of the security in the palace would be dismissed by Li Yuan's order and sent to Longxi to guard the border guard, a general who has no eyesight and does not know who is the real person in power, and it is not suitable to stay in a sensitive place like Chang'an anymore.

From Chen Ping and Yan Le, Li Yuan finally got to know the "third party" that suddenly appeared in the Ying family, the seventh princess of King Zhaoxiang, the experience is a little peculiar, when she was an adult, the old brother of Yiren was not dead, and before he died, this old brother who had a glorious life did a "good thing".

After a certain drink, King Zhuang Xiang promised the seventh princess to a marquis who had a habit of dragon and yang in the same clan. Such a marriage, naturally there can be no happiness at all, and the decadence of the Marquis of Longyang quickly made him lose all the things left by his ancestors, the first emperor who was originally a cousin and nephew could go on all the way, but the speed of the defeat of the Marquis of Longyang was too fast, zuihou, under a certain anger, the first emperor relegated the Longyang Marquis family to the area of Hanzhong County Yuguo.

It is also a blessing in disguise.

It was precisely because of the early demotion and the lack of assets that the Ying clan escaped several suppressions from the anti-Qin princes, and after Zuihou learned that the Qin state had become strong again, the Ying clan hurriedly took an ox cart to Chang'an.

After learning that the mother-in-law was still alive, Ying Yushu, who was in urgent need of comfort during pregnancy, suddenly believed the other party.

That's what it is.

Chen Ping, the minister of state, was not very clear about what was happening in the palace, and the operation of the state apparatus of Great Qin had already occupied most of his energy. Because of the relationship between the former prime minister Zhao Gao's ex-son-in-law, Yan Le has always been respectful of the affairs in the palace, and he is unwilling to be contaminated and infiltrated.

And during this period of time, the secret battle between Qin and Chu also made Yan Le very busy, and Xiang Tuo and Xiang Sheng of Chu were not easy opponents to deal with.

How to drive away the old pious woman Ying Shi, and at the same time, not let Ying Yushu's mood have a violent repetition, which will affect production, in the face of this problem, Li Yuan has a sense of embarrassment for the first time.

What should I do?

Such a seemingly inconspicuous battle within the family suddenly made Li Yuan also have a dripping feeling of going to the battlefield again and fighting bloody battles with the enemy. (To be continued......)
