Chudi, Huaiyin.

Bai Zhi came out of Jinghu and traveled all the way south, and it took three days to arrive here.

This is the only way to Wancheng.

Huaiyin is not big, the small city is only a dozen miles in radius, and the population is only more than 500 households.

Bai Zhi stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance, and there was a feeling of dilapidation in the place where he entered.

Houses made of wood and stone, huts made of thatch, and dusty dirt roads......

Compared with the luxury and lewdness of Xinzheng and the elegance and beauty of Songhai, this place is more like a dilapidated urban village.

But Bai Zhi did not despise this place in the slightest.

Guy is because there is a famous military ancestor in history - Han Xin.

Maybe Han Xin at this moment is just a little beggar in Huaiyin City who hates dogs.

But in the future, in the chaotic era when the First Emperor died twenty years later, he was like a giant dragon riding the wind, with his unparalleled talent and the skill of using soldiers freely, he carved a deep stroke that belonged to him on the monument of history.

Bai Zhi jumped up, his body fluttered like catkins, and came to Huaiyin City.

Compared with the seven kings' capitals, Huaiyin's bazaar is much more dilapidated.

There are no dancing houses dressed in red and colorful here, and there are no girls who are enthusiastic about welcoming customers with white flowers and breasts.

On the narrow and cramped paths, there are only some old farmers selling fruits and vegetables, and some hawkers who deliver goods on donkey carts.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a few walked slowly, most of them were dressed in gray-brown coarse cloth short robes, bending their backs that could not be straightened by the forced servants, and cutting the price of vegetables with the hawkers.

Bai Zhi looked at their cloudy eyes, as well as the wrinkled, tanned black and red faces, and was full of emotion for a while.

This is the truest side of this world, they are the largest number of people in this world, and the most ordinary beings.

Sighing slightly, Bai Zhi walked to a breakfast stall on the side of the road and sat down.

He beckoned and said aloud to Xiao Er, who greeted him warmly: "A pot of hot tea, two steamed buns, and a few side dishes." ”

"Okay, you wait."

Xiao Er saw that Bai Zhi's brocade clothes were luxurious, and he was a little restrained for a while.

He hurriedly stepped forward, carefully wiped the table in front of Bai Zhi with a rag, and then slipped into the back kitchen with a cigarette to arrange food for Bai Zhi.

In a small country shop, the food is not exquisite, but in a moment, Xiao Er sent the food that Bai Zhi wanted.

The young man is not hypocritical, although he is good at appetite, but he is not a greedy person.

So grab a hot cup of tea and start enjoying your breakfast for the day.

Bai Zhi sat on the street, eating and observing his surroundings, as if waiting for something.

After a long time, a thin figure behind the street corner slowly approached and met Bai Zhi's sight.

The young star's eyes lit up, and his face instantly showed a little interest.

Han Shin, here it is!

Bai Zhi's gaze fell on Han Xin, and he was slightly dumbfounded for a while.

Today's Han Xin is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he can't see the appearance of a soldier who will control thousands of troops and horses like an arm in the future.

He was in straw sandals and dressed in shabby clothes.

The patches of the clothes that were already coarse cloth were covered with patches, swollen and swollen, like a little beggar.

But the shabby clothes can't hide his unique temperament.

Han Xinsheng is tall and handsome, he has fair skin, without a trace of variegation, and he does not look like a farmer.

If you change into luxurious clothes, you will be three points richer than the children of the nobility.

His hair was loose and covered most of his face, but on his small face, a pair of eyes were exceptionally bright.

The eyes are as clear as water, full of luster and contain extraordinary wisdom.

Only the yellow-skinned face and the skinny body can pull people's thoughts back to reality and reveal their true identity.

Bai Zhi's eyes met his steps, watching him walk step by step towards Xiao Er in the store.

I saw him arch his hand towards Xiao Er, and did the etiquette of a scholar, and then he said clearly: "Shopkeeper, I don't know if there are some leftovers for me today?" ”

Xiao Er saw him speak, his face was embarrassed for a while, he looked at Han Xin's expectant gaze, and said in embarrassment: "There are not many customers in the store today, and there is no food left for you." ”

After that, he was a little apologetic, and hurriedly said: "You might as well go to the inn at the end of the street to have a look, there are many people there, I think I can definitely give you some food." ”

When Han Xin heard this, he couldn't help but show disappointment.

He looked around the shop, glanced at the richly dressed Bai Zhi by the window, was slightly startled in his eyes, and hurriedly looked away.

He waved his hand at Xiao Er and said, "Okay, I'll go to other places to see." ”

The young man Han Xin sighed confidently, and he said secretly: "The proprietress of the inn at the end of the street has always been stingy, and I am afraid that I will inevitably be humiliated if I go to beg for it."

Alas, it seems that we can only try our luck in the river. If you can't catch a fish, I'm afraid I'll be hungry again today. ”

Immediately, he shook his head and turned his back and walked out of the store.

The morning light in the sky was slightly dewed, and the first rays of golden light sprinkled on the earth, shining on Han Xin's departing back, which looked extremely warm.

Bai Zhi watched him leave, his expression extremely calm.

He didn't deliberately talk to Han Xin, just because it wasn't the best time.

He also wanted to try, try Han Shin's wisdom, try his ambition.

When Han Xin's back disappeared into the corner of the street, Bai Zhi withdrew his gaze.

He finished eating the food on the table unhurriedly, and then beckoned to Xiao Er, "Xiao Er, settle the bill." ”

"Come on!"

The shopkeeper trotted over, he bent down respectfully, and said with a smile: "Honorable guest, I will give you ten knife coins." ”

Bai Zhi nodded and did not give it to him directly. He looked at Xiao Er and asked, "Fang Cai and the little beggar you hate to eat, I don't know what your name is, where is your name?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Distinguished guest, this person's name is Han Xin, and it is said that the ancestor is also a down-and-out nobleman, and now he lives by the small river in the south of Huaiyin City. ”

Bai Zhi was noncommittal, he took out a few gold coins, lined them up on the table, and said, "This money is enough to buy your small shop."

If he comes again, you will entertain him with good food and drink. But if he asks why, don't mention me. ”

Xiao Er was shocked, he looked at the golden coins on the table, and his breath was a little sluggish. He swallowed his saliva and said in surprise, "Honorable guest, are you sure that you only need me to provide him with food?" ”

The value of this money is enough to buy his small shop ten times.

He was puzzled: "Honorable guest, could it be that you have an old relationship with that Han Xin?" ”

Bai Zhi frowned, and said suddenly: "Don't ask more, you just need to do what I say." When I come back to Huaiyin in the future, if you do things beautifully, I will still have a reward. ”

He wasn't worried at all that Xiao Er would donate money and run away. Since the reform of the law in various countries, ordinary people have no way to move in this era if they have no way out.

Xiao Er's face was pleasantly surprised, he happily took the gold coins on the table into his arms, nodded and bent over: "Distinguished guest, don't worry, I will cover Han Xin's food in the future, and I promise not to tell him the reason." ”

Hearing this, Bai Zhi nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced again in the direction Han Xin had left, and turned to leave.

Bing Xian, Bing Xian, I am really looking forward to the day when we officially meet.
