Chapter Twenty-Six: Departure

In 257 BC, the first of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, the god of war of the Qin State Bai Qi killed himself in the army. Seven years ago, Bai Qi led the Qin army to attack Korea on a large scale, attacking the city of Hancheng, taking five cities and beheading 50,000 enemies. Qin seized the nine cities of Han. The South Korean army was difficult to resist. The Qin army made good progress, and soon captured 9 cities including the Korean city of Eunseong, and killed more than 50,000 Korean new troops. Four years ago, Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao troops before and after the Battle of Changping, and killed more than 100,000 soldiers. But now because of the high merit of the master, coupled with the villain's slander, he ended up like this.

Also in this year, Qin conquered Wei Guoning Xinzhong and renamed it Anyang. In Qin's attack on Zhao, Wei Xinlingjun and Chu Chunshenjun rescued Zhao from defeating Qin and lifted the siege of Handan. The state of Zhao turned from danger to safety, while the state of Qin was defeated.

What's more, when Handan was besieged in the city, Zhao wanted to kill Ying Yiren, Ying Yiren and LΓΌ Buwei bribed the guards with 600 catties of gold, and fled to Xianyang. Through Mrs. Huayang, she persuaded Yingzhu to accept Ying Yiren as the crown prince.

This year, the peddlers, pawns, merchants, and tycoons were once again frightened by the situation in the world, and many people who were doing business or living in other countries began to deal with their business and sell their industries, and decided to return to China. At the same time, many people displaced by the war have moved with their families to countries where they are at peace of mind, and there is an almost constant flow of people across borders.

In the world, the situation is uncertain.

However, for Lao Huang and Fatzi, the situation is very clear: Yiren will be established as the crown prince, and Yingzheng will soon enter the stage of history, and Xiao Yi is ready.

Wei State, Daliang City, Anguo Lane.

Lao Huang and the fat man were drinking tea on the second floor.

"Lao Huang, according to the plan, what we have to do has basically been done, Xiao Yu's current situation is almost the same as we expected, the current progress of the task is normal, even if Zhang Liang assassinated Qin, we still need to come back, the time span is very large, our safety and reliability are also very good, directly carry out the next time and space jump to end this mission, right?" The fat man recalled the past few years, and felt that he had not fulfilled the duties that a sword bearer should have fulfilled at all, and his ability was almost useless. All day long is doing business, tasting tea and eating, but this process can be exchanged for better results than any previous birth and death, he can't help but sigh.

"Let's see if there are any visions of the Xuanyu ruler. If everything is normal, then think of a reason to leave in the next two days, and go back to the task to summarize and recuperate. "Since the beginning of this year, the situation in the world has evolved rapidly, although Lao Huang has already known everything through the ancient books and documents of his time and space, but he is in this kind of great situation in the world, and it is not just a passing and sighing like a history book. The thinking about the task also did not stop, the fat man was right, everything was under control, and he could leave, they needed the information that Xiao Yu, the future captain of the Great Qin State, conveyed to Qin Shi Huang, and he would definitely bring it accurately.

The fat man didn't say much after listening, he knew that Lao Huang was not the kind of person who was indecisive and difficult to decide, and he didn't need too many details to negotiate, this was the tacit understanding that they were born and died together many times. After confirming that everything was in order, he closed all the windows and stood on the third to last step of the stairs to block the staircase, making predictions for Lao Huang to control the situation.

Lao Huang had no doubts about the fat man's ability, but he still looked around for a while, and only after making sure that everything was in order did he take out the Xuanyu ruler. Caution must be exercised in this way, otherwise the progress made is likely to be lost.

Injecting a trace of qi, the Xuanyu ruler glowed slightly, and a blue line slowly but steadily extended from left to right, as if nothing could stop it. This is also history, no one can stop him, even the powerful and mysterious sword-wielding man who is unheard of by ordinary people is only a little embellishment on this narrow but concise line according to its wishes and needs.

Suddenly, Lao Huang was shocked by the scene that was shown next.

The blue line representing this period of history has been steadily extended to the present, but another red line that has never been seen before appears beneath the blue line, which is strange and bizarre.

The two looked at each other.

After so many years of being a sword bearer, I have never met or even heard of this situation.

"Lao Huang, this?"

"The books of the Temple of Extreme Evil have never recorded this thing, and I have no clue. Lao Huang looked dazed.

"Is there something wrong with our mission? No, it should be a change in the blue line. The fat man couldn't help but speculate.

"It's something I can't understand. Lao Huang carefully recalled everything he had done over the years, and could not find any mistakes.

"Complete the task first, and then report back to the elder group when you get back. The fat man suggested that he didn't want his plans to be interrupted by this inexplicable line anyway.

"That's the only way, we've made good arrangements for the past few days, and we're ready to find a suitable reason to leave here and go back. ”

"Don't worry, I'll leave this to me. The fat man replied. "For him, it's not as important as going home as well as completing the mission.

At the end of the year, the weather is cold, and the prosperity of Daliang City is difficult to stop the gloom brought by the change of seasons.

The people near Qingshi Lane in Anguo Lane heard a news. The fat shopkeeper and Mr. Huang received a message from their hometown Korean family, whose hometown was almost destroyed by the war during the Qin invasion of Korea, and the two families had moved to Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. After receiving the news, the fat shopkeeper and Mr. Huang decided to leave for South Korea immediately to take care of their family. On the one hand, people regret that these two good characters are leaving, and on the other hand, they feel that it is not easy to be in troubled times, and they are displaced.

The fat man sold and transferred, and disposed of several grocery stores and Lao Huang's book shop, as well as their house in Anguo Lane. The maids and servants were also dismissed. The carriage was wrapped around and ready to go. In the past few days, the fat boss who is always smiling in people's eyes and Mr. Huang, who usually has almost no expression, have a heavy and anxious face, which shows that the turmoil in the motherland and family has had a great impact on them.

The south gate of Daliang City.

Lao Huang took Xiao Yu's hand and taught earnestly for the last time. Although Xiao Yu has kept in mind the grace of Lao Huang's teaching for many years, he is not a child who loves elders, and he knows the truth of dividing and gathering and dispersing. Although he was reluctant, he did not cry or stay, but just knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to thank him.

"Xiao Yu, there is nothing else to say, if I can survive in this troubled world, I hope to hear your name among the heroes of the world in the future. ”

"The students will certainly live up to his expectations. ”

So, farewell.

On the other side, the fat man forced out a few smiles and politely refused the many salutes sent by the neighbors. He and Lao Huang took the wine glass handed over, drank it all together with everyone, and after saying goodbye to each other, they would walk into the carriage after a certain period of time, and never returned.

Lao Huang lifted the curtain of the car and poked his head out to take one last look at this young ancient city more than 1,000 years ago.

At the end of the year, the sun is cold and dazzling.

In the cave of the city gate, the father and son, who stood but stared straight at them, made eye contact with the guest from a thousand years later for the last time.

Lao Huang was inexplicably uneasy.
