Chapter 9 First Arrival in Zhao State
Zhao Guoguo's capital is Handan!
The Zhao royal family is from the Shang Dynasty King Chongchen Fei Lian, and the Qin royal family is in the same vein, all of them are after the ancient Fuxi clan, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the ancestor of the Zhao family Zhao Yu followed the later Jin Wen Gong Chong'er for more than ten years, but never gave up, became the most trusted person in Chong'er. After the Duke of Wen of Jin succeeded to the throne, he named Zhao as Xiangguo, and the surname Zhao made a fortune since then, and after several generations of monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom, he gradually became a figure who held the real power of the Jin State at that time with the surname Han and the surname Wei of Ji. In the early years of the Warring States Period, the three families jointly invited Zhou Tianzi, who was already in name only, and the three families were divided into Jin and established Korea, Wei and Zhao! After more than 200 years of development, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, has become a prosperous city along with the capital of Wei and Linzi, the capital of Qi.
Gu Xiao set out to defend himself, carrying a sword and a horse along the way, towards Handan, the capital of Zhao.
Along the way, Gu Xiao met many warriors like him, these warriors only had one sword, and most of them didn't even have horses!
This did not surprise him!
Today, it is the last years of the Warring States period, and it was originally the era when the samurai were at their most popular.
These samurai wandered around, eager to make a mark. Even, many well-known sages were born as samurai.
As far as Gu Xiao knows, there was Le Yi in the front and Su Qin in the back, and almost all of these famous figures in history have been traveling warriors for a period of time.
Gu Xiao rode his thin horse, walking extremely low-key along the way, although he came to Zhao Country this time, it was his bad intentions, but after arriving in Handan, it was where he should show his talents.
If he was so high-profile as soon as he entered the Zhao Kingdom, Gu Xiao was sure that he probably wouldn't even have the chance to see the walls of Handan City alive! If he comes openly, he is not afraid of anyone, but as the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, so it is better to keep a low profile.
It's just that what he saw and heard along the way really made him not dare to compliment!
From the Battle of Changping to the present, the time is only about a short ** year, and it stands to reason that most of the witnesses of the Battle of Changping should still be alive.
But along the way, Gu Xiao was stunned and didn't find that in these Zhao people, who had lost the men of the country, there was even the slightest trace of Qi Rong. Even, if it weren't for the traces on the city walls and the chatter on the streets and alleys, Gu Xiao would have doubted whether the Battle of Changping had really happened!
This is really a country of drunken dreams and death! He could only sigh like this!
Gu Xiao traveled all the way, constantly hurrying.
Finally, about three months after he left Weiguo, in the spring of the following year, he came to the city of Handan.
Early in the morning, Gu Xiao came to the gate of Handan City.
At this time, several groups of soldiers were guarding the city gates, collecting gate taxes one by one.
Gu Xiao led his mount and waited for a while before it was his turn.
After paying the city gate tax, Gu Xiao strode into Handan City.
When he left Weiguo, Zhao Jianzhai only prepared some Weiguo coins and a dozen taels of gold for him. Originally, he didn't have Zhao Guo's coins on him, but on the way to Handan, many thieves thought he was a bully and wanted to snatch his sword and mount.
For these people, Gu Xiao's approach is very simple, that is, to send them all on the road.
After that, all the coins on these people belonged to him. Therefore, when he came to Handan, he was already a small asset!
"Who should I go to?" As soon as Gu Xiao entered the city, he began to think about what he should do next.
As a samurai, if you want to be famous, the easiest way is to defeat a famous person! This is also the method that most samurai will choose, but Gu Xiao is not interested in making it too high-profile!
Because, in this Handan City, there are not no people who have seen Bai Qi. If it is found that he is the grandson of Bai Qi, even if he has a hundred lives, it is not enough to die!
Gu Xiao pondered repeatedly until he saw a samurai inn not far away!
In this era of samurai, there were such samurai inns almost everywhere. Along the way, Gu Xiao had seen many samurai inns, and even he himself stayed in several samurai inns for a few days.
Originally, this kind of samurai pavilion could not attract his attention, but when Gu Xiao thought about it, a trace of cunning appeared in his eyes.
Tightly clenching the heroic sword in his hand, Gu Xiao turned his eyes and walked towards this samurai inn first.
・・・・・・
"Ahh
"Oops!"
"Bastard!"
Soon, there were bursts of pain from this samurai inn.
What's going on?
Passers-by who came and went on the street were aroused by their curiosity, wondering what was going on in this samurai inn and making such a big noise.
After a long time, when the movement in the samurai pavilion was much smaller, Gu Xiao Shi Shiran walked out of the samurai pavilion.
Behind him, there was a large group of samurai lying on the ground, screaming in pain, and several samurai with blue noses and swollen faces following him, with a look of fear, but no one dared to move.
"Hey, isn't this the Song Pavilion Master?" Those with sharp eyes recognized that among those who had been beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, there was the owner of this samurai inn.
It's just that now, the majestic Song Pavilion Master in the past has been beaten like a pig.
"Wait!" Gu Xiao walked out leisurely, he had just moved his muscles, and he was still in a very good mood. It's just that at this moment, the Song Pavilion Master stopped him from behind,
Gu Xiao turned his head and said with a smile: "What? Do you still want to be beaten? ”
"Boy, do you dare to leave a name?" The Lord of the Song Pavilion shouted inwardly.
"Guardian - Gu Xiao!"
