Zhao Ying looked at Xiong Xin, who was obviously already flustered, but was still barely maintaining his composure, and suddenly smiled.

"Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor—"

As he spoke, he walked straight to a large bluestone dumped in front of the bear heart house, sat down, and then raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the bear heart in front of him with a smile.

"What, the prince and grandson of Chu are not welcome?"

When Xiong Xin heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

"You, you have recognized the wrong person......"

He never thought that he would be found here after being incognito and herding sheep for so many years.

Zhao Ying didn't speak, just sat there, looking at him quietly. Xiong Xin saw Zhao Ying's eyes playful, and he was shocked that he and the others had already faintly surrounded themselves and blocked their way. His face changed, and he hesitated for a long time, but after all, he sat on the ground like a deflated ball.

"Yes, Your Highness, it is Sun Xiongxin, the king of Great Chu! If you want to kill and scrape, just come on......"

Seeing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile.

"Why did I kill you? I Daqin governs the country with benevolence, even if the princes of the world do not know the overall situation, disregard the mandate of heaven in vain, and resist stubbornly, in order to kill the king, His Majesty has never rushed to kill them all, but in Xianyang, build palaces and pavilions for them, as their residences, not to mention a down-and-out prince and grandson of you? ”

Xiong Xin's face suddenly turned blue and red.

He wanted to loudly refute Zhao Ying's hypocritical words, but when the words came to his mouth, they finally became.

"Then how do you find me, how do you ......?"

Zhao Ying smiled and stood up.

"On the orders of my grandmother, I came to repair the grave of my grandparents and offer incense......

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying said lightly.

"Speaking of which, you and I are cousins, get up—go back with me first, and take me to my grandparents' grave to see ......"

Xiong Xin saw that Zhao Ying didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, so he got up from the ground and followed behind Zhao Ying very consciously. Seeing that this bear heart was so aware of current affairs, Zhao Ying couldn't help nodding slightly in his heart, and became more and more firm in his thoughts just now.

If it goes well, this bear heart is a good helper to subdue the hearts of the people of Chudi.

In his previous life, he only knew that Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew, under the advice of Fan Zeng, found the grandson ambition of Xiong Huai, the king of Chu Huai, and supported him as the king of Huai. But it's really not clear where Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng and others found Xiong Xin back then.

In fact, he once had the idea of letting Jing and others secretly search, and then cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

But in the end, there was still none.

Now, he is no longer at the beginning of the crossing, with a simple idea, thinking that as long as he kills a few rebel leaders such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, or Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, he can extinguish the hidden dangers of Daqin and solve the crisis of Daqin.

As long as Great Qin can't strengthen itself, maintain the stability of the two generations, and be compatible with the talents of all families in the world, and gradually eliminate the resentment of the people of the six countries, even if there is no bear heart, there will be Zhao Xin and his ilk. In fact, in later history, the children of the six royal families who were supported by princes from all walks of life were not Xiong Xin alone.

It's just that Chudi's opposition to Qin is the most intense, and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew are also outstanding.

However, it is a good thing to be able to find Xiong Xin this time, which gives him another good choice in his policy choice of Chudi. However, after returning with Xiong Xin, he was not in a hurry to talk to Xiong Xin about this.

After all, there are too few records of this "righteous emperor" in the history of the previous life, except for being sought and supported by others, Xiang Yu was obsessed with Xiang Yu, and then Xiang Yu's head was cut off.

Whether it can be used or not, it is still necessary to observe his heart.

However, he was not idle, and took the time to personally meet with the officials of Nanjun. Seeing that Zhao Ying was just urging them to prepare grain and grass ships as soon as possible and inquire about the customs and customs here, these officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When they knew that Zhao Ying's side had just arrived, they took people to the city for a "private visit to Weifu", and everyone was worried, thinking that this emperor's eldest grandson was not good, and was ready to find fault with them.

I didn't expect a false alarm.

Although the emperor's eldest grandson did not say it explicitly, the meaning of the revelation was already obvious, and there was no intention of interfering in local government affairs.

Because of this, these officials have a much cordier attitude towards Zhao Ying, and the smiles on their faces are a little more sincere.

"Your Highness, don't worry, after the official returns, he will personally supervise this matter, and he will definitely not delay His Highness's trip......"

Before leaving, Nanjun County guarded Jimu and repeatedly promised.

Zhao Ying smiled and thanked him, and then, with a gentle smile, personally sent the group out of the gate.

This time, although the First Emperor gave him the power to purge the officials, but Nanjun is located in the core of the old Chu, and the situation is complicated, before he has an in-depth understanding, he doesn't feel that with his own light knowledge in later generations, as well as some assumptions, he can pat his head and do better than these officials in Nanjun.

Rather than working hard to cause chaos for others, it is better to leave it alone for the time being and stabilize the minds of these local officials first.

As for these people, there may be greed or other behavior. Zhao Ying felt that compared to maintaining local stability, these behaviors could be put on hold for the time being, even if he wanted to investigate, he would have to wait for a more appropriate time.

Before the First Emperor survived that sensitive point in history, he had no intention of staying outside for long.

The day after sending off the officials of Nanjun, Zhao Ying asked Xiong Xin to summon Xiong Xin and asked him to lead the way, taking Zhang Liang, Cone Gu, Xiaoyaosheng, Ah Nu and Jing and others, putting on regular clothes, and going to the grave of his maternal grandparents.

Although it is the tomb of the Chu royal family, over the years, the Chu State has perished, the royal city has been abandoned, and it has become a ruin, and the remaining royal children have also been packed and escorted to Xianyang by the First Emperor, and have become the spoils of the First Emperor.

It's still time to take care of yourself, where can anyone take care of these so-called ancestors?

Even if there are occasional people who miss the old country and come to pay respects, they have to take into account the attitude of the government and dare not be blatant, so most of these former luxurious and vast tombs have been crawled with moss vines and drowned in the barren smoke and vines. There are even a few burial tombs that have been excavated and stolen.

Messy masonry and stone, thrown everywhere.

Zhao Ying was not meant to be sentimental.

Success or defeat, there is nothing to say. Anyway, these people can still live a good life, if they follow the original trajectory of history, they are worse than them.

Neither the head nor the body can stay in one place.

Only the heart of the bear, kneeling in front of these graves, wept loudly.

Over the years, he was afraid that his identity would be discovered, as the grandson of the king of Chu, he hid on the ruins of Yingdu every day to graze, before that, how dare he come to sweep the tomb and pay respects?

Zhao Ying didn't bother to care about him, and took a few people to personally clean up the weeds on the grave of his maternal grandparents and eradicate the vines. Fortunately, his grandparents' graves are well protected, they don't need to be repaired, and there are even a little traces of sacrifice, which makes him secretly relieved, otherwise, after going back, it will be difficult to explain to his aunt.

"Who are you who dare to come here and be presumptuous? It can be seen that this is where the tomb of my clansmen is located......"

Zhao Ying and the others were busy cleaning up the weeds when they heard a scolding with an obvious accent.

Zhao Ying and the others couldn't help but look back. But I saw an old man wearing a brown jacket with gray hair, who was on crutches, and rushed over with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Little Lao'er is the gravekeeper here, a few - nobles, why did you come here......"

Seeing that Zhao Ying and the others saw themselves, they were not flustered, and even looked at themselves inquiringly. Only then did the old man find that Zhao Ying and the others not only had tools such as shovels and sickles in their hands, but also incense, candles, paper money, melons, fruits, livestock and other sacrifices next to them, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Towards Zhao Ying and the others, he bowed his hand slightly, and then took off the talisman on his waist and revealed his identity.

Grave keeper?

Only then did Zhao Ying remember that in Daqin, there was really such a setting for a low-level official.

These people are specifically responsible for managing and maintaining the security of the tombs. In normal times, they are not only responsible for patrolling and maintaining the safety of tombs, but also responsible for preventing and combating the occurrence of tomb robbery.

It can be regarded as the mausoleum administrator of the Great Qin version.

Looking at the old man in front of him, who had to walk with a cane, Zhao Ying couldn't help frowning slightly. Although this grave keeper is only an insignificant official, it is a bit too much to find someone of such an age to come over and make up the numbers.

"We are distant relatives of the owner of this tomb, passing by here, and have come to worship, and I also ask the elders to make a convenient ......"

Without waiting for Zhao Ying to speak, Zhang Liang had already stepped forward with a smile, and then gave the old man a few big bucks.

The old man skillfully accepted it, weighed it slightly in his hand, and then waved his hand, and his tone was a little softer.

"I came here to worship—"

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Ying and the others.

"Nowadays, there are not many people who are willing to come here to worship - a few of you are also affectionate and righteous, but, listen to the old man's advice, this is not a place to wait, after you finish worshipping, leave quickly, so as not to get ......into trouble."

After the grave keeper finished speaking, he did not leave, but just stepped aside and found a random place to sit on the steps. Obviously, there are still a few of them, and there is still a bit of mustard, for fear that they will pout the graves here under the guise of worship.

"Although he is a little greedy for money, he is still loyal to his duties......

Zhao Ying couldn't help but nodded slightly.

After cleaning up, he asked people to put incense and candles on the table, and personally burned some paper money for his maternal grandparents, who had never met, and then got up and led everyone to worship.

As for Xiong Xin, he silently picked up a handful of paper money and distributed it to the relatives who accompanied the funeral nearby.

Although it is a royal family, not all royal families can occupy a hill exclusively. These people, Xiong Xin naturally didn't look at them in the past, but today, he is close to his heart and silently gives a handful of paper money. I don't know if these people will feel flattered if they know about it.

Before leaving, Zhao Ying gave Zhang Liang a look.

Zhang Liang suddenly understood, deliberately took a few steps behind, and waited until Zhao Ying and the others walked away, then walked to the old tomb keeper who was about to get up and leave, and arched his hand slightly.

"Uncle, the tomb here is different from other places, and it is my relatives of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of Emperor Qin who are buried, and I hope that my grandfather will take more care of him in the future, and there must be no accidents......"

After speaking, he stuffed a handful of money into the old grave keeper, and then Shi Shiran left.

The tomb keeper looked at a large handful of Qin Banliang in his hand, turned his head to look at the incense and candle tributes placed in front of the tomb, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around to look at the backs of Zhao Ying and the others.

Looking at the tall and abnormal figures of Zhao Ying and Qiang Gu, I suddenly remembered the folk legend about His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, who was too tall and had a heroic appearance......

Coupled with the news that the emperor's eldest grandson had arrived in Nanjun, when the two were compared, there was a trembling suddenly, and the spirit broke out in a cold sweat.

"Isn't it ......"

He looked at the backs of Zhao Ying and the others in disbelief, and was originally going to wait for Zhao Ying and the others to leave, so he packed up these tributes and went back to the old grave keeper who was stained with meat, and immediately extinguished this idea.

Zhao Ying didn't know that this old grave keeper had already vaguely guessed his identity. However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

In this memorial, although he traveled in a low-key manner and did not alarm the county officials, he believed that he would never hide it from anyone afterwards. After that, it is natural that local officials will come to maintain and repair the tomb of their maternal grandparents and strengthen the inspection here.

…………

"I can't imagine that there is such a huge island in this vast sea......"

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the mountains not far from the shore, endlessly, and as far as the eye could see, Gongzi Gao couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Childe doesn't know, this island is not only quite large, covering an area of hundreds of miles, but also rich in products, mountains and rivers are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you can defend the place, there is no doubt that it is in the country of the country......"

Ge Yun, the eldest of the three Ge brothers, seemed to mention it unintentionally.

"No wonder my nephew, before leaving, repeatedly instructed me to come here, I must do a good job, and I must not slack off......"

Childe Gao nodded thoughtfully.

This made Ge Yun feel depressed, did Lao Tzu mean this?

However, he didn't dare to express it too explicitly, so he could only nod sullenly. Fortunately, after getting along for the past few days, his three brothers have successfully won the trust of this great Qin prince, and after getting along for a long time, they can always find an opportunity to advise.

On the contrary, Fan Xu, who was following Gongzigao's side to protect him, heard Ge Yun's words, and couldn't help frowning slightly, revealing a trace of surprise.

Subconsciously, it seems that something is wrong.

But the three Ge Yun brothers seemed to be unintentional, and after casually mentioning it, they had already started talking about the scenery on the island, so they could only follow silently.

The three Ge brothers are really learned people, not only have rich sailing experience, but also seem to have really been to this island.

Let Fan Hao couldn't help but admire a little.
