By the riverside, goshawks hovered overhead.

In the grass, which could reach people, I saw a man lying in it, and there was a burned-out bonfire beside him, on which was half a roast rabbit that had been eaten.

The goshawk lingered in the sky for a long time, and saw that the man was just lying there motionless. Then he stabbed down violently, stretched out his claws and grabbed the roast rabbit. Seeing that he was about to succeed, the man on the ground suddenly raised his hand, and the dead branch in his hand accurately hit the body of the goshawk. The goshawk fluttered a few times and squeaked away, leaving only a few feathers floating into the air.

Han Xin sat up, his eyes were still a little foggy because he had just woken up, and he sat for a while before he stood up, hastily wrapped half of the hare with a few large leaves, and stuffed it into his arms.

It has been more than a month since he left Wucheng, and Han Xin has thought a lot about it for more than a month. Although he made bold statements in front of Xiang Yu and took the world as a gamble, it was difficult to calm down and think about it. Daqin has a complete mechanism for selecting officials, and there is never a shortage of talents among the children of the family and the guests of the wealthy family. Therefore, if a cloth like Han Xin, who was born in grass mustard, wants to be an official in Daqin, he can only commit himself to acting as a guest with a wealthy family, waiting for the master's appreciation and recommendation.

Three years is too short, and he is not willing to be under some mediocrity. So Han Xin decisively rejected this idea.

If it is really as chaotic as Zhang Liang calculated, then devoting himself to the old clan of the Six Kingdoms is a good choice to get ahead. It's a pity that Han Xin has already had a bad relationship with the Xiang family, and the old clans of other countries have frequent contacts with the Xiang family, so they may not be willing to accept him and offend the Xiang family. Moreover, this world is still the world of Great Qin, and most of the restoration forces of the old clans of the Six Kingdoms are hidden in the market, and Han Xin has no way to find them.

After thinking about it, Han Xin felt that he had only one way out from the army, and it was from the border army, that is, the main army of Great Qin. The Qin army attaches great importance to military merits, and has always valued heroes who are ruthless and brave, even if they are guilty, as long as you can fight bravely on the battlefield, you can also use military merits to exonerate him.

Among the border troops, they fought with the Xiongnu, Qiangdi and Baiyue all day long, and lived a life of licking blood from the edge of the knife, and ordinary people would be willing to go. Therefore, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, the border army has opened up a wide range of ways to recruit people, and sinners who have committed crimes and evaded labor in the hinterland, as long as you are strong in martial arts, can still join the army, and rely on the number of heads of the enemy to exonerate themselves.

There are two main border armies of Great Qin, one is the Northern Army commanded by Meng Tian, and the 300,000 troops are all soldiers of Great Qin. The other is the more than 400,000 southern expeditionary troops who are restrained and restrained, although the number is relatively large, but most of them are local conscripted soldiers and laborers, far less than the elite of the northern army.

Meng Tian was a famous general at that time, and I heard that he was upright, treated his subordinates fairly, and did not rely on his background. Han Xin decided to defect to the Northern Army, thinking that with his talent and martial arts, he would definitely be appreciated by Meng Tian. Moreover, if the world is really in chaos, the 300,000 strong troops of the Northern Army are definitely the most powerful force that can influence the general trend of the world, maybe he Han Xin can take advantage of the chaos and rise to the top.

Han Xin silently thought: Big brother, don't you want to be determined to overthrow the Qin State, then I will keep the Qin State, as long as the Great Qin is not destroyed, then you will never be able to complete the grand plan and hegemony, and we will not be able to win the bet.

Now that he had made up his mind, Han Xin headed all the way north. He didn't carry much money with him, so he didn't enter the city, but only relied on hunting in the mountains and forests to solve three meals, and on this day he had arrived in Xue County in Qidi.

Standing up and stretching his muscles, Han Xin habitually touched his chin, but he felt a stinging hand, slightly stunned, and shone himself against the water. found that there was a gray-haired, bearded man in the water, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was him.

Thinking of the original self of @Aijie, the smile on Han Xin's face was a little bitter, and he didn't have much heart to spend on it this month. He drew his dagger and was about to shave his beard against the river, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the post road in the distance.

Squinting and looking into the distance, it was a red-clothed girl on a horse, her face was full of panic and embarrassment, and when she saw Han Xin on the side of the road, she was like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly shouted for help.

Seeing that there were four horsemen chasing after her not far behind, Han Xin wanted to save the girl, but when he saw the outfit of the four horses, he couldn't help frowning. These four horsemen are all black armor and red fashion, with swan feathers obliquely inserted on their helmets, Han Xin is no stranger to dressing, it is Emperor Qin's pro-army Yu Lin Wei.

He was about to go to the Northern Army, of course he didn't want to have a conflict with Yu Linwei for a strange woman, so he secretly let go of the hand holding the fish intestines, and made up his mind not to ask.

It can be seen that Han Xin just stood there stunned, and the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered. Suddenly, the bowstring sound behind her sounded, and she felt that the mount under her crotch bent down and collapsed on the ground with a scream, but it was Yulin behind her who shot her mount with an arrow. Ying Ke fell to the ground, rolled a few laps to stop the forward momentum, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

She had been on the run for a whole day and a night, exhausted, and it was only with a conviction that she had survived.

The four Yulin slowed down their horses and walked up, and one of the officers in front looked at Ying Ke's pale pretty face with a hesitant expression. The order he got was to kill on the spot, but looking at the girl's pretty cheeks was a little unbearable. After hesitating for a while, he decided to obey the military order, slowly pulled out his saber, looked at Han Xin on the side of the road again, and glanced at a Yulin beside him. That Yulin understood, and raised his horse and waved his spear towards Han Xin.

Han Xin originally didn't plan to interfere, but it could be seen that several Yulin actually wanted to kill him, and he couldn't help but be furious. With a cold snort, he shrank down at the spear that stabbed at him, and stabbed the man in the chest with his backhand.

When the other three Yu Lin saw that their companions were killed, they reacted very quickly, and they drew their bows and arrows and wanted to draw their bows. Unexpectedly, Han Xin's movements were faster, and he quickly snatched the bow and arrow from the killed Yu Lin, pulled out the arrow in his hand, and shot three times in a row. The three Yulin all screamed and fell to the ground, and the arrows pierced the armor and hit the vital point, and they couldn't survive.

Han Xin stepped forward to take a closer look and made sure that all four of them had lost their breath, so he dug a pit and buried the bodies of the four people carefully, leaving a horse as a mount, and the extra horses drove away to the south.

After finishing these cover-up traces, more than half an hour had passed, and Han Xin was also a little out of breath, sat down, and took out a water bag to drink.

After drinking the water, Han Xin turned his gaze to the sleeping girl, saw that she was breathing evenly, and reached out to probe her pulse, and found that she was not injured, but she was too tired and fell asleep. couldn't help laughing dumbly, she was working hard for her inexplicably, but she was sleeping here with peace of mind.

After waiting patiently for a while, the girl still didn't wake up, and Han Xin was a little impatient. I wanted to leave, but I thought that this was a wild place, and there were often wild beasts and poisonous insects, so it was really inappropriate to leave a sleeping woman here. He reached out and pushed her, trying to wake her up.

His eyes fell on the girl's face, and then he carefully looked at her appearance, and found that she was a beautiful girl, but her face was covered with a lot of beauty. Han Xin looked at her appearance, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and was stunned for a moment, only then did he remember that it was the 'non-mainstream' MM he had seen in Guyue Tower.

Thinking of the brutal appearance of this non-mainstream MM, Han Xin couldn't help but feel a little funny. This time, I saw that she was just dressed as a decent Qin noblewoman, and she didn't recognize her for a while.

"Hey, hey, wake up, wake up." Han Xin reached out and pushed the girl's shoulder, and when he saw that she was still awake and turned around, he poured some water from the water bag on his hand and flicked it into the girl's face.

Ying Ke trembled slightly in his sleep, then woke up leisurely, opened his beautiful eyes and looked at the strange man in front of him a little confused, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, remembering that she was chased and killed by Yulin, so he asked Han Xin nervously: "What about those people who chased me." ”

Han Xinchao pouted on the side: "I just helped them into the ground." ”

"Oh." Ying Ke was still groggy and not very clear, and nodded as if he didn't understand.

Han Xin looked at her and frowned, if he had done it before, he might have taken care of these troublesome things that didn't concern him, but now he didn't want to get involved in these troubles. Although this girl's face is a little embarrassed, the fabrics and ornaments on her body are all valuable, and it can be seen that she is by no means an ordinary person, and the person who chased and killed her must have a greater background.

Han Xin didn't want to get involved in these troubles, and killing the four people was a last resort, he just wanted to go to the north as soon as possible to join the army.

"Are you better, this place should not stay for a long time, there is Weicheng ahead, I will send you there, and then we will part ways." Han Xin stood up and gently helped the girl up, but saw that she didn't mean to move.

"What's wrong, where is the injury?"

The girl shook her head, her face pale. She glanced at Han Xin, Han Xin saw that there was some hesitation in her eyes, thinking that she was suspicious of him, so she couldn't help but be a little funny, pointed to her nose and said; "You don't know me anymore."

Ying Ke looked at Han Xin, hesitated for a while, and then said softly: "Uncle, who are you?" ”

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that his current appearance would indeed be mistaken for a strange uncle, and he touched his chin full of black beard scum with some irony, no wonder she couldn't recognize herself. He didn't bother to correct it, and he wasn't interested in bothering her anyway.

Win saw that Han Xin looked at him with strange eyes, so he faintly felt that something was wrong, and looked at Han Xin carefully, then he suddenly remembered, and said in a lost voice: "It turned out to be you." ”

"It's not me." Han Xin answered with a smile, looked at the sky, and said: "Let's get out of here quickly, if the people who chased you don't recover for a long time, it is inevitable that no new people will come, I will send you to the front of Weicheng, where the county is governed, they won't mess around." ”

Ying Ke looked at Han Xin in a daze, then looked at the place where the four feather forests were buried, and suddenly took Han Xin's hand and begged in a wailing voice; "This big brother, I know you're not a bad person, can you help me, please, help me find my eldest brother."

Han Xin frowned slightly, and gently shook off Ying Ke's arm, he had already guessed that her matter was not a trivial matter. He himself is in great trouble in front of him, how can he still have the heart to wade into this troubled water.

Flippantly refused; "I'm sorry, I still have important things to do, and I can't help you much."
