Chapter 10: The Fallen Son (Ask for Collection)
Zhuang Xia walked slowly step by step, calm and quiet, not afraid of more than ten people holding sharp blades. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Who is the master who is joking with us, why don't you show up and let a child come and tease us?
Today's matter involves the palace, I hope you don't get involved and cause trouble. If so, I should be grateful. ”
The leader of the sunspots said loudly behind Zhuang Xia, he didn't think that this kid did what happened just now, and believed that there must be someone behind him.
However, even if only Zhuang Xia was in front, they were like facing a great enemy, worried that a strong enemy would appear.
The man in white who was besieged and killed was overjoyed, the opportunity to be saved was in front of him, and if he didn't seize it, he would really die.
"I am the eldest son of Chen Guojun, now the crown prince, who was attacked and killed by thieves, if you can save me, I will be rewarded, and I will never break my word. ”
Zhuang Xia must know what is going on, and it is estimated that it is another political dump. It's not a farce of struggle for the throne, it's a rebellion against the wall.
"Don't look at it, there's no one behind me, it's me who shot just now, why, look down on children?"
Zhuang Xia opened his mouth, speaking unhurriedly, and his tone was not like a little doll at all.
However, even if he said this, no one believed it, and the man in black thought that in this situation, he should first attack and kill Yeming Gongzi first, and then take the child as a hostage.
More than ten meters away is the jungle, even if the Tibetans are not as fast as him.
"You take the kid. ”
As soon as he gave the order, many subordinates immediately divided into three or four people and rushed towards Zhuang Xia, and he pulled out the short knife at his waist and wanted to kill the prince of Chen Guo without mercy.
Zhuang Xia smiled, he didn't know how many gangsters he had beaten, the hooligans were beaten by him and they all hid when they saw him, and now his strength is ten times greater, this is even more of a small scene.
With a strong foot, he stepped on a footprint of nearly an inch, and in an instant he appeared in front of the man in black.
Before the leader of the men in black could react, the short knife in his hand had already fallen into the child's hand.
In a trance, he seemed to see the strange child in front of him and smiled slightly, and then he bowed down and flew seven or eight meters away, hitting the ground with a bang, and raising dust to fly.
This! How is it possible? How can someone be so fast? This doll is a human or a ghost? It is so powerful, he is not an opponent at all.
A mouthful of blood protruded, and the leader of the men in black endured severe pain and said, "Retreat!"
When the many black-clothed people who had not yet recovered from the dazzled heard the order, they did not hesitate, walked in a hurry, and ran away with the leader of the black-clothed men.
Zhuang Xia watched them leave, without saying a word, let alone stopping them.
Yeming Gongzi, who was in shock, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything,
The child in front of him saved his life, and there was no reason to kill them for nothing and cause trouble for himself.
If Zhuang Xia knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say that he thought too much, he just never killed anyone.
What's more, he wouldn't just meet and see this person being besieged and killed, so he naively decided who was right and who was wrong, and took the initiative to stand in this person's camp and help kill for him.
"I remember you said you wanted to repay me? It just so happened that I just came here, and you arranged my food, clothing, housing and transportation, is there a problem?"
Zhuang Xia didn't have the slightest idea of showing kindness and not trying to repay it, and he was not embarrassed about what he said, he saved his life, and seeing that he was not short of money or connections, this was nothing to him.
A siege came suddenly, the frightened Yeming Gongzi was about to die, but he was saved by a strange child, in a short period of time, life and death were easy, like a roller coaster, he has not recovered until now.
It's just that as the crown prince, he has experienced a lot, and it didn't take long for him to calm down.
"Naturally, naturally, my words count, and I should treat my benefactor with courtesy. ”
The relieved Yeming Gongzi bowed and said to Zhuang Xia.
"Thank you little brother for saving my life today, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have fallen into the ghost. ”
His words had his own bearing, and his etiquette was also thoughtful, which made Zhuang Xia look more pleasing to the eye.
"Don't thank me again, if you don't save the man on the ground, he'll be dying. ”
As he spoke, he gestured to the Captain of the Guard, who had bowed down to protect the Lord.
Sure enough, as soon as he thought about it, he hurried over to help, tossing for a while, and simply dealt with the wound, the man was still a little conscious, and he was grateful for the personal treatment of Yeming Gongzi.
This person has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his body is very strong, Zhuang Xia seems that his qi and blood are quite stable, and it is estimated that he will not die.
The two teamed up to carry the wounded man into the carriage, Zhuang Xia frowned and looked at the more than thirty corpses on the ground, no longer hesitated, and whipped away.
After notifying the government, they will take care of it.
Sitting in a rickety carriage, the green shade beside him receded little by little, the wind was high and the clouds were light, and the birds and birds were flying with their wings spread, and they were at ease.
Where in the world is my home? If my relatives are no more, the end of the world is my home.
On the other side, the man in black, the leader left with his men, walked to the place where the horses were hidden, and only stopped to trim slightly.
"How could such a terrifying strong man appear halfway, and what is even more strange is that such a young child has such a strong combat power, it is really incredible.
As soon as I met him, he was knocked out more than ten meters away, and I could only defend slightly, but fortunately I resisted with all my might, otherwise I would not be able to move.
If we hadn't gone fast, we'd have been wiped out.
This person is invincible, we don't have to make unnecessary sacrifices, next time we have to outwit them. ”
As he spoke, several of his henchmen immediately chimed in.
"What the Lord said is that if it hadn't been for the Lord's decision, we would all have died, and that man's force is really terrible. Today it was the adults who saved our lives, and we are grateful. ”
The man in black smiled, satisfied with his subordinates' cleverness and sensibility. But he didn't expect that the wound was involved, and he gasped for air in pain.
"Let's go!"
More than a dozen people hurried along the path on horseback to the small town ahead, and this trip was not successful, so they naturally would not give up.
Riding a fast horse, the leader of the men in black coughed up blood from time to time, and he was even more afraid of Zhuang Xia's skills in his heart, and it was difficult to resist, but the mission was in his body, and he must not give up.
Because of the wounded, Zhuang Xia didn't drive the carriage fast, not to mention that the carriage couldn't get up fast, otherwise it would be a bumpy butt and asking for hardship.
"I heard you say that you are the crown prince of Chen Guo, since you are the crown prince, why don't you stay in the capital and run around?"
Zhuang Xia dusted off his whip, and urged a few horses that were dragging the carriage for a while, and said to Yeming Gongzi.
Gongzi Yeming looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, not very old, but he has a noble style, and it seems that his royal education since he was a child has given him quite good qualities.
However, when he heard this, his face turned slightly pale: "Chen Guo is weak, and my father has no choice but to send me to Zhao Guo as a proton, and I haven't returned for three years." Now that my father is seriously ill and the relationship between the two countries has eased, I rushed back, but for some reason no one greeted me, and even encountered a thief attack, and I ended up now. ”
"So miserable?"
Zhuang Xia smacked his mouth, he didn't expect that he accidentally ran into such an unlucky prince, and he was so unpopular when he finally returned to China, he had to kill him.
The other party smiled bitterly, even such a child knew that he was unlucky, and his depression could be imagined.
"I don't know where the little brother came from and where is he going?"
The child who saved himself looks like he is just over a year old, and he looks cute and delicate, but his strength is amazing, and his behavior is no different from that of an adult.
"Come from where you came from, come back from where you come back. ”
The other party asked him in a crepe manner, and Zhuang Xia also replied to him.
Sure enough, Ye Ming heard it, just like listening to a riddle, and didn't know how to understand it.
"Also, don't call me a little brother, my name is Zhuang Xia, you can call me sir. ”
Zhuang Xia let people call him sir, which is already a bit cheeky, in this era, only a learned person, a teacher or an elder is called sir.
"Then how about I call my little brother, little sir? Little brother is like a god, I don't know where to learn from? I admire it. ”
"You won't see it in your life, and it's a matter of saying. You are the crown prince of Chen Guo, and your knowledge is not too bad, tell me about the specific situation of Chen Guo, such as how much is the population, where is it, and the size of the land. ”
For example, in this era, ordinary peasant households, from birth to death, if they did not join the army, basically their range of activities would not exceed a radius of 100 miles.
He knows what country he is from and where he is from, but if you ask him how big Chen Guo is, how far away from the sea, and where he is in the north and south, he will be blind.
"The national strength of Chen is acceptable, the east and west traverse thousands of miles, the north and south are eight hundred, the north is bordered by Qiang Zhao, the south is Chu State, the west has Wu Yue, and the east is the sea. The population is 1.5 million, although it is not as large as the population of Zhao 4 million, it is also the middle and upper level of all countries. ”
"Such a small number of people? Then the countries here together have a population of up to 20 million people, which is too little, right? Look at you like this, you fight every day, and you have nothing to do, it is better to go home and have children and sleep, why do you have nothing to do!"
More than 20 million people sounds like a lot, but it is only half of the population of a province in the 21st century.
However, Zhuang Xia just complained, he knew very well that the productivity of this era was low, there were many wars, and the medical care was even worse, and it was only after thousands of years of accumulation to have these populations.
"No one wants war among the people of all countries, but the interests of various countries are different, and the gap between strength and weakness is quite large, and war is inevitable. People's hearts are unpredictable, and desires are difficult to fill. ”
Ye Ming sighed in his heart.
"You, the crown prince, can still think of this, but I guess you can tell me that if you become the king, Chen Guo will still not be able to avoid war. This is the mission of this era, and without unity, the war will not stop. ”
However, Ye Ming did not agree with Zhuang Xia's words.
"If I am the king of the country, I must work hard to govern the country, serve the people diligently, serve the country at the top and serve the people at the bottom, reduce the conquests, and make the country rich and the people strong. ”
He was full of confidence, as if if he were to govern the country by himself, and everything would be easy to do, it would not be difficult at all.
There are still some things he didn't say, in his heroic ambition, destroying all countries and achieving unification is his ultimate goal, but he also knows that this seems to be very difficult, and he probably, maybe, may not be able to achieve it, so he will not say it and be ashamed.
"It's good if you have momentum, but things are never said, wait until you do it. Maybe I can still see and witness a piece of history. ”
Zhuang Xia didn't taunt him, it's good for young people to have dreams, and they should be supported if they are willing to work hard, although most dreams become disillusioned.
Along the way, Zhuang Xia, who spoke in the vernacular, chatted a lot with Ye Ming, who spoke half-literate and half-white, of course, the main thing was that he was asking, and the other party answered.
When he arrived in the small city, Zhuang Xia also had a lot of macro understanding of this era.
Just like the situation in the middle of the Warring States period, these countries already had the idea of annexing other countries or even unifying, but all parties were restrained, and the whole body was affected, and the road to annexation was slow.
Unconsciously, the distance of more than ten miles was crossed, and the swaying carriage arrived at the small town.
Under the gates of the small city, two crooked soldiers stood guard, and when they saw a carriage coming, they immediately cheered up.
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Shangguan has been waiting in the mansion for a long time, but for fear of disturbing the people, he did not greet him here, but he repeatedly told me to wait here. We'll take you there. ”
They saw the signs of damage on the carriage, and they also noticed that it was unusual that they did not even have a single guard, but the prince's token was not fake, and they did not dare to ask more, but just carried out their orders honestly.
Putting away the token that he signaled, Ye Ming's face in the carriage darkened, but he didn't get angry.
Zhuang Xia once again felt the unluck and embarrassment of the prince, and even a local official made an excuse not to greet him, instead of stammering desperately, he knew how much people were not optimistic about him.
"My brother is so popular! Not even a little official takes me as a prince seriously! Hmph! ”
He was furious, but in a difficult situation, he couldn't help but hold back.
The carriage swayed forward, and a man in a corner looked at the carriage, the fierce light was dim, and turned away with a sneer.
It was not early, Zhuang Xia Dujue's stomach was deflated, and he unceremoniously asked Prince Yeming, "Are you full of food tonight?"
