Chapter 219: Warring States (4)

From Xianyang to Handan, Huang Xuan walked for four days, using a camouflage cover several times on the way, the road width of this era only allows four horses to drive together, and the narrow place is that the carriage is also very reluctant, especially the place where the river bank and mountain stream are in disrepair, and they often have to wade forward.

However, in the territory of each country, due to the need for troop transportation and logistics, the construction is not bad, but compared to the Roman roads recorded by Europeans, it is still slightly insufficient - it was not until Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries that the road construction exceeded its standard.

However, in Huang Xuan's view, it is also the most complete road construction in the Qin realm, which is also very related to its national strength, before Huang Xuan came to this plane, the Qin State was always the victor in the war. It sometimes lost uncritical battles, but never lost in war, and as a result, continued annexation supported reforms, which in turn amassed wealth.

In the vicinity of Handan, Huang Xuan found a cave, left weapons, densely woven metal clothes, etc., and then went home half-naked, secretly drank two glasses of water in the room, and made a few phone calls by the way, and was sent to P210 by Lorraine.

In addition to the loss of the 1 million tons of grain transportation costs, you can stay in P210 for about five days. Of course, even biological products, 1 million tons of grain, and two back and forth transportation, still used Huang Xuan's energy of more than one million yuan.

Entering Handan City, there was no martial law phenomenon as Huang Xuan imagined, and the great victory in the Battle of Changping gave Zhao State a faint taste of a new Warring States overlord, just like the Qin State after the victory of the Battle of Changping. The entire Great Zhao army and people changed their gloomy bleakness in the past, and praised their king and plain king.

Zhao does have the potential to compete for hegemony, this is a country with many famous generals, but its geographical location, its successive monarchs, is far less advantageous than Qin. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the success of the Qin Dynasty has its inevitability and its own accidents.

Huang Xuan walked into Handan City from under the noses of the guards, and as he walked on the road, he asked, "Where is the house that King Zhao gave me before?" ”

"Go east." It was Nick who answered.

Huang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and walked to the east, at this moment Handan is more than twice as prosperous as Huang Xuan three months ago, and the soldiers and civilians of Zhao State, who have survived the food crisis, ushered in the peace that they have been looking forward to for several years after eliminating the military threat, although no one knows how long such a peace can last, but the more it is like this, the more people are looking forward to life.

Nick led the way, Huang Xuan led the horse and walked leisurely, Dian Wei followed behind, the ancient evil comer was born with a fierce god and evil, and passers-by avoided it one after another. To Huang Xuan's feeling, the road administration construction in Handan is quite good.

"Here we are." After arriving at what Nick called the shortest route, Huang Xuan looked up, but saw that the place still looked like that place, but the plaque on it had been changed, it was written "Zhixianjun's Mansion", the door was also painted vermilion, the houses on both sides were demolished, and the wall was extended to the corner of the street.

"Is this it?" Huang Xuan pointed with some uncertainty.

"You can't go wrong with a level 18 base." As soon as Nick answered, he saw two well-armored Zhao soldiers walking over, holding halberds, the tips pointed at Huang Xuan, and said loudly: "Don't stop in front of Zhixianjun's mansion, go quickly." ”

Huang Xuan was not angry, although he was five points sure that this mansion should be his own, probably a flattering move by Pingyuan Jun or King Zhao. But he didn't have a title on his head, and he didn't hold a murder weapon in his hand, so he asked kindly: "Let me ask you, this Zhixianjun, but his surname is Huang?" ”

The guard looked at Huang Xuan hesitantly, if it weren't for Dian Wei watching from the side, he would have started to kill people a long time ago, but he didn't answer directly, but said, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm this old friend of this Zhixianjun." Huang Xuan said casually, it doesn't matter if he is recognized anyway.

The guard became more and more suspicious, Huang Xuan was familiar with his mentality, and said with a smile: "This little brother has just been on an errand, right, this Zhixian Jun has recently been newly sealed?" ”

Seeing that the guard nodded, Huang Xuan smiled and said: "Actually, if you tell me the name of this Zhixianjun, I won't delay any effort, if I lie to you, I will never be able to escape, but if I am really this Zhixianjun's old friend, you drove me away, in case it is passed on again, will it be a loss?" ”

Huang Xuan said it reasonably, the two on the other side looked at each other, and the other said: "It's surnamed Huang." He said and stared at Huang Xuan, as if he wanted to ask for evidence.

"Lorraine, a microphone." Huang Xuan kept smiling, took half a step back, suddenly gathered his hands, and shouted loudly: "Huang Xi, come out to pick up Lao Tzu." ”

The two guards were stunned for two seconds, and the passers-by in the distance also looked at Huang Xuan inexplicably. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Bing, who felt deceived, made an assassination move with a halberd - only people after the Three Kingdoms can understand that don't play with a big knife in front of Guan Gong and don't play with a halberd in front of Dian Wei is a truth.

Huang Xuan grimaced, and then said to the angry two: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

One of the younger guards was almost crying, and with the strength of "milk", he held the halberd against it, and said, "I want your life." ”

Huang Xuan had no choice but to shrug. At this time, there were more bold Handan people nearby, these two soldiers looked not much older than Huang Xuan, seeing that something was happening, their faces were swollen and red, and their back molars were about to be "exposed".

was making a lot of noise, but I saw that the vermilion gate opened with an old, old creaking sound.

The unlubricated, unpleasant sound of metal rubbing seems to be a symbol of status and power in the eyes of many people.

The two guards couldn't help but turn their heads, and saw that the yellow mat was covered with a silk scarf, and the lower clothes were obliquely "exposed" to the folds of the arms, and the steps were so hurried that the few young people behind him couldn't even outrun him.

As soon as he crossed the calf-high threshold, Huang Xi knelt down, and the two rows behind him followed the same example, following the direction of Huang Xuan, the people in this mansion knelt on the ground like the grass blown by the wind, and the whole street suddenly fell to the ground. I only heard Huang Xi say in an extremely reverent tone: "Slave Huang Xi, lead the people and guards to welcome Zhixian Jun back to the house." ”

Tilting their heads, the arms were still with the two little soldiers who were still fighting Dian Wei, their faces were pale, their legs and feet were soft and kneeling, their necks had not yet turned, the corners of their mouths moved like cramps, and they said vaguely: "Meet, meet Zhixianjun." ”

At this time, the onlookers also reacted, kneeling on the ground in a mess, called everything, and a few of them with faster legs and feet had slipped out.

Huang Xuan smiled, gently kicked the kid who spoke first with his foot, and beckoned Huang Xi again, saying, "Reward these two kids." ”

"Yes." Huang Xi knelt down and responded, in fact, he just lowered his head, but when he saw that Huang Xuan was wearing coarse cloth clothes, but he was wearing silk silk, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Huang Xuan didn't think about this at all, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to get up, others didn't understand his gestures, and Huang Xuan didn't care, as soon as he raised his head, he entered the house.

Huang Xi followed behind, bent low, and said to Huang Xuan: "Jun Shang left in September, and Ping Yuan Jun invited the king to crown Jun as Zhixian Jun." ”

"Oh, that sounds good."

Huang Xuan's words seemed to be happy, but he didn't seem to care, so Huang Xi couldn't guess the taste, and his waist bent lower.

"I want to find Pingyuan-kun, what should I do?" Huang Xuan asked again.

"The king of the plains was worshipped by the king, and he lived in the city." Huang Xi said, paused again, and said, "But Pingyuan-jun should come to see you soon." ”

This sentence of speculation does not match Huang Xuan's imaginary appearance of a humble and honest old man who does not care about foreign affairs, he is still the old man, but his cheeks are ruddy, and his eyes are fluttering, it is the so-called between self-confidence and unconfidence, Huang Xuan looked at each other very differently: "Huang Xi, what have you done before, you have always been a housekeeper?" ”

"Yes." Huang Xi replied in a low voice: "The slave maid was sold to a family surnamed Zhao in Handan at the age of 14, during which she changed 3 masters and has been a housekeeper for 20 years. ”

Huang Xuan patted him on the shoulder, gave him a trusting look, and said, "I asked you to buy livestock, how are you doing?" ”

"The price of livestock in China has risen rapidly, but some merchants from Qi Yan have promised to send it to Handan, and now there are about five or six thousand heads."

He speaks neither exaggerated nor explained, and is a complete steward, because he belongs to his master.

Huang Xuan bowed, stopped talking, and followed Huang Xi into the house.

The door slammed shut, and the cold bronze nails and heavy pine made it seem as if it had never been opened.

The idlers outside the door began to talk one after another.

As Huang Xi guessed, Pingyuanjun soon came to the "Zhixianjun Mansion", and in fact, when the doorman informed him of this, he rode his horse as soon as possible.

In Handan City, it is theoretically forbidden to ride vertically. But the Plains Monarch ran wildly, and his guards had no choice but to follow.

For many, it's a time to watch a show.

It was a difficult day for many.

It was an interesting noon for Huang Xuan.

For Pingyuan-kun, this was the second most important day in his life, second only to the day he first met this magical "sage".

Seeing Pingyuanjun panting and walking in from outside the door, Huang Xuan, who was drinking his own tea, winked at Huang Xi and said, "Go prepare dinner." ”

Pingyuanjun didn't shirk either, he knelt down and sat down twice, panting and said, "I'm so happy to see Huang Jun again." ”

"I'd rather you call me Xuanzi, in fact, in my hometown, they are all called by their names." Huang Xuan laughed and said, "Yin" and "Yin".

Pingyuanjun also deliberately pulled the relationship and said: "Then you can call me Zhao Sheng." ”

The face of the entourage behind him immediately changed twice, plus this time, Pingyuan Jun has been worshiped 4 times, and with his royal identity, he is already the second person of Da Zhao, maybe it is okay to be called the first person. Although it was rarely avoided during the Warring States period, it was obviously too casual to call him by his name.

Huang Xuan didn't care about the mood of his entourage at all, and he also had no intention of recounting the past with Ping Yuanjun, so he coughed lightly twice, but his eyes looked at the entourage behind Zhao Sheng.

Pingyuanjun immediately said, "You go out." ”

When there were only two people left in the room, Huang Xuancai said in a low voice: "Pingyuanjun, en, Zhao Sheng, I remember, Tian Dan should be in Zhao State?" ”
