On the morning of Renxu (18th) in the seventh month, after Qin Yang bid farewell to the First Emperor, in order to avoid attracting attention, he changed the Qin army armor into a blue shirt, and then galloped northwest with Texue.
In Qin Yang's memory, at the end of the Qin Empire, there were two better ways to go from Qinghe to Jiuyuan. One was: passing through Julu, passing through Jingjingkou (one of the eight Taihang paths), and crossing Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, Yanmen County, Yunzhong County arrived at Jiuyuan. This road was seriously damaged in the war. Only part of it was classified as "Qinchi Road", and most of it should be a bad road with many ravines. However, it is only a straight line distance from Jiuyuan. It will not exceed 1,500 miles, and considering the winding road, it is only 1,800 miles; the other one goes all the way west, passing through Handan, passing Wu'an, crossing the Taihang Mountains, crossing Shangdang County, Hedong County, and entering Han Valley Pass through Xianyang, go up the straight road, and run to Jiuyuan. Most of this road is Jiuguan Road and Qinchi Road. It is still a "straight road" from Xianyang to Jiuyuan, and the road condition is much better, but it is a "bump-back" route. The journey was a full two thousand miles away. So Qin Yang, who was in a hurry, did not choose the latter road, but chose the former road without hesitation and headed straight for Jiuyuan.
The people of Qinyang never left their saddles, and the horses galloped non-stop from morning to sunset. Seeing the city tower of Jinyang (today's Taiyuan) in the distance, they slowed down. Although the Taoxue horse was unusually powerful, it only drank in the middle of the five hours. After running continuously with a few sips of water, coupled with the fact that his old injuries have not healed and his energy has not recovered, he is now so exhausted that he is panting heavily. When Qin Yang saw Taoxue looking like this, he couldn't help feeling heartbroken. He patted Taxue's neck and said softly: "Good friend, are you tired? I haven't eaten for a day, so I'm a little hungry. How about we stay in Jinyang tonight and leave tomorrow."
Ta Xue, who had extraordinary spirituality, seemed to understand. He neighed, and with all his strength, he stood alone again, his joy clearly revealed. Ta Xue's joy was nothing, but it almost knocked Qin Yang off his horse.
Qin Yang scrambled for a while before he stabilized his balance, so he laughed and cursed: "Look, you are so happy, do you want to throw me to death?" But in his heart, he regretted that he had not learned riding skills well. He thought to himself: "Look, you are so happy, do you want to throw me to death?" After all, I am not a cavalryman. It seems that I need to find an opportunity to learn this riding skill. Otherwise, how will I go to the battlefield in the future?"
Seeing Qin Yang talking to the horse, the passersby nearby looked at him with countless pairs of eyes. Qin Yang blushed and no longer dared to do such "weird" things, and quickly rode his horse straight to Jinyang. go.
Jinyang is the seat of Taiyuan County. It borders Taihang to the east, Luliang to the west, Wutai to the north, and Fenshui to the south. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. Before the unification of the Qin Empire, it was with Shandong Province. Most of the country's military wars came from fighting against Zhao. Therefore, Taiyuan County became a tug-of-war between Qin and Zhao. Jinyang, as an important military town, was the first to bear the brunt. So Jinyang City was a good place. It also became increasingly depressed due to successive years of war. It took Jinyang ten years to slowly recover some of its vitality until the Qin Empire unified the world. There were slowly more shops, wine shops, trading companies, apartments, etc. in the city. However, its prosperity is far inferior to that of Wu'an City in Qinyang's opinion.
Qin Yang led Ta Xue into the city from the east gate of Jinyang and walked all the way. What he wanted most now was to find a clean and elegant place to rest and dine, and to settle down for Ta Xue. Qin Yang is a person who knows how to enjoy, because The ten years of war have allowed him to see too many life and death. He knows the preciousness of life, so he cherishes himself very much. As long as conditions permit and it does not violate his own principles, he will enjoy it without hesitation. Of course he will enjoy it and This does not mean that Qin Yang is greedy for enjoyment, as he has completely proven all this in another time and space.
It's just that Qin Yang walked half of the main street but didn't see a satisfactory inn. It was either extremely noisy or a mixed bag of good and bad, which was quite different from what Qin Yang wanted. So Qin Yang walked all the way to the west of the city, only to find that there was an inn in front of him.
It was in a separate courtyard. Qin Yang had very good eyesight, and from a distance he saw the four words "Qin Feng Ancient Residence" written on a plaque above the main entrance. Qin Yang was moved in his heart and thought: "Could it be that the proprietor of this residence is...
Old Qin people in Guan Nei? Then you really need to see them."
Qin Yang was about to take a step forward when he suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps from behind. Qin Yang instinctively turned around and saw a panic-stricken, thin boy about sixteen or seventeen years old running towards him.
The young man stumbled and ran, looking back from time to time. However, the young man was so busy looking back that he forgot to look at his feet. In the rush, he stepped on a piece of gravel, and then his body tilted and fell to the ground. The young man did not care.
Feeling no pain, he got up and wanted to run forward again. Maybe his feet were sprained, but he stumbled but couldn't run any faster.
When Qin Yang saw that the young man was about to fall, he wanted to help him, but was unable to reach him. When he saw that the young man was injured, his chivalrous heart suddenly aroused, so he took a few steps forward, helped the young man, and asked: "Little brother
,Are you OK."
"Yes, there are people chasing me, many people..." the young man replied breathlessly.
"Over there, hurry up, catch him! Don't let him run away!" As soon as the young man finished speaking, a roar came from behind.
The young man was shocked when he heard this and struggled to hide behind Qin Yang, looking at the pursuer in horror.
"Oh, I found some help, but it's no use! Let me see where you are going now? Come on, find out that kid and drag him back to the shopkeeper." The big man who led the crowd ordered. Everyone responded.
They immediately gathered around.
The young man hiding behind Qin Yang was even more frightened, his whole body seemed to be shaking, and he kept begging Qin Yang in a low voice: "Brother, help me..."
Qin Yang took a quick look and found that there were seven people chasing him, four of them were holding sticks, and two were empty-handed. The big man in the lead was a fat man, and he also had a pair of ropes in his hand, presumably to tie up the man.
Juvenile.
When the six people surrounded Qin Yang and Qin Yang aggressively, the fat man who was commanding on the side spoke: "Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you get out of the way, we won't make it difficult for you." The fat man didn't know where Qin Yang was coming from.
Seeing Qin Yang's majestic spirit, he didn't dare to look down upon him.
Qin Yang saw the young man's appearance and kept begging for help, but he couldn't bear to let go, so he raised his hands and said: "Brother, I wonder what this little brother has done, so he actually worked seven brothers to catch him?" Qin Yang
He deliberately said the word "seven people" in a louder voice, implying that it would be outrageous for you seven grown men to bully a thin young man.
The fat man was quite shrewd. When he heard Qin Yang's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
"This brother doesn't know something. The little guy just came to our store to eat and drink for free and pretend to be a gentleman. After eating, he wanted to run away. He was also very slippery. No, we chased him for almost two miles before we caught him!
I advise you brothers to get out of the way and don't stand up for a freeloader." The fat man is also a person who knows etiquette, and he is quite polite in his words.
Qin Yang was stunned, thinking that if this was really the case, there was really nothing he could do. He thought for a moment, turned around and asked the young man: "Little brother, can you tell me, is what the elder brother said the truth?"
"I didn't eat and drink for free. It's just that I forgot to bring money when I came out from home. I told them that I would bring it to them tomorrow, but they didn't believe it and beat me. I had no choice but of course I ran away..." The boy
He actually said it with confidence and without any shame.
"Look, look, is he reasonable? Come on, brothers!" Seeing that the young man had no shame, the fat man couldn't help but get furious. The other six people immediately gathered closer, ready to pounce.
"Wait a minute! Brother, why don't you go home with this young man to get back the money for food and drinks? Why do you need to use such methods?" Qin Yang heard the two people talking and finally understood the cause of the matter. The young man Bai
The fault of eating came first, and the fault of beating people in the store came later. It was hard to tell who was right and who was wrong. However, Qin Yang has always disliked people bullying the weak. Although he did not want to cause trouble on the way to Jiuyuan, this store owner
He couldn't stand being beaten and tied up just for a meal, so he suggested to the fat man.
"Don't you know how to see with your eyes? That kid is in rags, does he look like someone with a rich family? If you want money, you can give it to him, and I won't make it difficult for him anymore! If you don't give it, get out of here.
Come on, why don't you blame me for being rude!" Seeing Qin Yang's repeated obstruction, the fat man became angry and his words were no longer polite.
The fat man's aggressive tactics had no effect on Qin Yang. In terms of calmness, there were few people in the world who could compare with him. However, when he saw the helpless and panic-stricken look in the young man's eyes, he was inexplicably stunned.
Thinking of his childhood in the orphanage, he seemed to see some shadow of himself in this young man. Qin Yang couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and immediately blurted out: "How much does this young man's food and drinks cost?"
"Not much, just half a tael of gold." The fat man replied.
"What? Half a tael of gold?" Qin Yang was stunned.
"Hey, how else can I say that this kid has no money to pretend to be a master?"
In that era, half a tael of gold was more than six hundred Qin and a half tael, which was enough to buy twenty shi of corn and two good horses. For example, when Qin Yang bought Ta Xue, the old man selling the horse only asked for three hundred
The price of Qin's half a tael. The young man's meal actually cost half a tael of gold. This surprised Qin Yang for a while before he looked at the young man and asked, "Is this true?"
"Yeah." The young man muttered lowly, tears seeming to be shining in the corners of his eyes.
Qin Yang didn't say anything, just silently untied the bag from Texue's back and took out a piece of Lu Jin. After concentrating for a moment, he stretched out two fingers of his right hand like a pair of pincers and pinched it in the middle. When Lu Jin had it, he
After a few marks, he broke it off with both hands, and the Lukin piece was actually cut off. He picked up the smaller piece and handed it to the fat man, saying, "Is that enough?"
"Enough, enough, more, thank you brother." The fat man had never seen such methods before. He was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. Seeing that the gold was definitely more than half a tael, he immediately took the gold and shouted, and everyone left in an instant.
.
Qin Yang didn't want to show off his skills here, but it was time-consuming and laborious to exchange gold. He didn't want to delay it any longer, but he couldn't bear to give all the two taels of gold to the fat man. After all, the money would be used in the future.
There were still so many that he had to leave a way out.
"Thank you, brother. I will definitely give you back double the amount in the future." The gratitude on the young man's face seemed to contain some admiration.
"No need. You go home quickly. Remember to bring money when you go out in the future!" After saying that, Qin Yang just smiled, ignored the young man, and led Texue towards the "Qin Fenggu"
Qin Yang, who had not slept for two days, was too tired. He just wanted to have a good rest.
When the young man standing there saw Qin Yang leaving like this, his eyes suddenly became complicated. He thought about it, a cunning look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he followed Qin Yang from a distance...
