Chapter 1: The opening meeting with Thorton
"General, we have scouts who have come back, according to the report of the scouts who have returned, there is a big river less than twenty miles away from here, the water surface of the big river is wide, and the flow is endless, which is suspected to be the Ganges River marked in the map presented by those Hu merchants."
In an unknown valley, a soldier in black armor stood by the fire, bowed and saluted beside another general dressed in black armor.
The Xuanjia general didn't look very old, and he was only a young man in his early twenties, but the black-armored soldier who was obviously nearly forty years old looked at the young general's eyes full of fire and admiration.
"Well, Ben will know, Da Niu, it's not too early, you can also arrange for the brothers to rest early."
Hearing the report of the black-armored soldier, the young general also put down the map he had been looking at, and ordered the soldier named Da Niu with a smile on his face.
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
Hearing the words of his own general, the soldier named Da Niu replied with a straight face, and then turned around and left the military tent.
In the military tent, when the big cow left the military tent, the young general also put down the parchment map in his hand, put his hands behind his back, walked out of the military tent step by step, stood at the door of his military tent, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart.
This young general's name is Qin Jiu, don't look at him as only in his early twenties, but he is the first military general of the Great Qin Dynasty, the commander of Qin Shi Huang's guards, and the one who helped Qin Shi Huang unify the six countries and pacify the Central Plains.
The famous generals of the Warring States Period, what Lian Po, what Meng Tian, and what Wang Qian, in front of him Qin Jiu, none of them were able to survive three rounds.
Qin Jiu is a traverser, or rather, the name Qin Jiu is the name of his life, as for before the traversal, what Qin Jiu's name was, it no longer matters.
Before the crossing, Qin Jiu was an ordinary medical university student, with parents and sisters, and when the epidemic was raging in the country again, Qin Jiu became a volunteer and died in the battle against the epidemic.
However, it is such a good person, it seems that even the sky is unwilling to let such a hero die, giving him a chance to be reborn.
That's right, Qin Jiu crossed over, and when Qin Jiu opened his eyes again, he had become a baby who was still in swaddling clothes, although he was an orphan of the war, but he was lucky to be adopted.
Qin Jiu's adoptive father's name is Lao Jiu, who is the future first emperor, and now the prince of Qin, Yingzheng's talisman and secret guard.
Lao Jiu is five or six years older than the First Emperor, although he is the first emperor's protective guard, but like Yingzheng's brother, he takes care of the young first emperor, and even in order to take care of the first emperor conveniently, he has never married.
Until Changxin Hou Changyu launched a rebellion and sent assassins to assassinate Yingzheng, Lao Jiu died to protect Yingzheng.
As Lao Jiu's only adopted son, Qin Jiu, who was only twelve years old, was taken care of by Ying Zheng like a nephew after Lao Jiu's death and after Ying Zheng put down the rebellion.
And Qin Jiu, it seems that because of the crossing, he has been very powerful since he was a child, and after being taken care of by Ying Zheng, Qin Jiu joined the army, fought in the south and the north for Ying Zheng, pacified the six countries, and attacked the Xiongnu in the north.
It wasn't until Ying Zheng unified the six countries and became the First Emperor that Qin Jiu was given an important responsibility by the First Emperor Ying's political commissar and became the commander of the Great Qin Imperial City Guard Army to protect the safety of the First Emperor.
To be honest, Qin Jiu felt that he was a very failure as a traverser, he did not have a systematic golden finger, and he did not kill the emperor to stand on his own, so it can be said that compared to other traversers, Qin Jiu's life was simply weak.
However, Qin Jiu didn't know how the other traversers were ruthless, and they could do whatever it took to achieve their goals.
Qin Jiu just felt that whether it was his adoptive father Lao Jiu in this life, or the First Emperor Yingzheng, whether it was good to himself, it was the kind of person who came from the heart, and Qin Jiu would never be able to do something good to himself.
What's more, Qin Jiu doesn't have that much ambition, but since the people close to him are ambitious, wouldn't he be able to make himself happier by helping them realize their ideals?
Time is merciless, no matter how eloquent the king is, after all, he can't resist the erosion of the years, the first emperor is old, and the first emperor who dominates the world is still obsessed with seeking immortal immortality after all.
That year, a man named Xu Fu, with five hundred boys and girls and countless craftsmen, went to sea to find the elixir of life for the First Emperor.
In the same year, Qin Jiu also stepped down from his position as the commander of the Great Qin Guards, and left Great Qin with five hundred soldiers all the way to the southwest.
It was not that the First Emperor sent Qin Jiu, but that the First Emperor trusted this Qin Jiu who he watched grow up more than Xu Fu.
In this way, Qin Jiu left Great Qin with five hundred soldiers and Qin Shi Huang's expectations for immortality.
To be honest, Qin Jiu, who has experienced the crossing, also has some expectations for immortality.
According to Hu Shang from all over the Western Regions, there was a place where a pair of white wings on their backs and a god claiming to be an angel had descended a hundred years ago.
And the map in Qin Jiu's hand is the map drawn by countless Hu merchants and Qin Jiu himself based on the scattered memories of his previous life, going to India.
In fact, Qin Jiu knew that the chance of finding the elixir of life was not great, but for the sake of the First Emperor and his only remaining relatives in this world, Qin Jiu was also willing to give it a try!
The sky was gradually brightening, Qin Jiu led five hundred Qin soldiers to continue to rush forward, when the sun was on the third pole, the troops led by Qin Jiu had already advanced for more than ten miles, just when Qin Jiu ordered everyone to rest temporarily, the ground suddenly shook.
Immediately, the ground cracked, and a crocodile wearing armor, holding two flying axes, and able to walk upright, suddenly came out of the ground, and the moment it came out, it swallowed one of Qin Jiu's soldiers in one gulp.
"It's... This is! Youkai! ”
Seeing the crocodile that suddenly popped out of the land, all the Great Qin soldiers were panicked, and some even shouted monsters.
"Youkai!? Hum! I, Uncle Thorton, am a god! Gods from the River Styx! Dare to call me a monster? Ahh ”
Hearing someone call himself a monster, Thorton was immediately unhappy, and then threw out a flying axe in his hand, and directly cut the soldier named his monster in half.
Seeing this bloody scene and hearing that the crocodile could speak, these soldiers were even more shocked and even a little frightened.
Seeing this, Qin Jiu also clenched the weapon in his hand, a pair of black iron hand guards, and said loudly to Suoton:
"We are soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, I don't know what the Great God is doing here, if we strayed into the territory of the Great God, we will retreat."
"Huh? Great God? Haha, great god, this is a good name! ”
Hearing someone call himself a great god, Suodun was silly at first, and then seemed to think of something, looked at Qin Jiu and said:
"I, Lord Thorton, am hungry, and since you have all these buns delivered to the door, then I, Lord Thorton, will laugh at it.
As for you male bun... You can go, Lord Thorton is happy and will not eat you. Hahaha. ”
Hearing Suoton say this, Qin Jiu sighed, knowing that things couldn't be good, and then shouted loudly to the group of soldiers:
"Formation! Defend against the enemy! ”
"Drink! Wind! Wind! Gale! Gale! ”
This group of Great Qin soldiers who had followed Qin Jiu for many years, after hearing Qin Jiu's order, formed a military formation as soon as they heard Qin Jiu's order, and they all shouted loudly, chanting 'Qin Feng', and even forgot their fear of Suoton for a moment, because they had a kind of self-confidence, as long as their own general was there, there was no enemy that could not be defeated!
"Charge!"
Seeing the formation of the military formation, Qin Jiu's deputy Da Niu immediately shouted, leading a group of Great Qin soldiers to rush towards Suoton.
However, in the face of the charging of these soldiers, Thorton stood still as if he did not feel it, and let the sword add to him.
Seeing this, a strange smile appeared on the crocodile face of Suoton, and he saw that Suoton's body turned around, and his body was already like a spinning top, spinning in place with two flying axes in his hand, harvesting the lives of dozens of Great Qin soldiers.
Seeing this, Qin Jiu shouted in his heart, and then kicked the ground with both feet, jumped up, and slammed his fist at Suoton, shouting:
"Stand back, this guy is not an enemy you can deal with!"
Hearing Qin Jiu's words, the soldiers retreated one after another, but Suoton did not let them go, and continued to wield the flying axe, harvesting the lives of the soldiers, but Suoton didn't care about Qin Jiu who flew in.
It wasn't until Qin Jiu's fist was about to arrive that Thorton raised his arm to block.
It's just that how could Suoton's careless block defend against Qin Jiu's ten-percent punch?
only heard a "bang", and when he was caught off guard, Suodun was punched by Qin Jiu, rolling and flying upside down more than ten meters away.
