He had only recited half of the 'A Man's Journey' poem.
Nearly 200 bandits had been killed by Liu Dao.
In reality, when less than one-third of the bandits were left, they had already realized that their morale had collapsed and wanted to escape.
However, Liu Dao was in the mood to kill and did not have the intention of letting these people off at all.
If they were in Si Shui County, perhaps Liu Dao would have surrendered and captured these people, bringing them back to 'reform through labour'.
However, they were in the vicinity of Xianyang and couldn't do anything about it.
Letting them go would only cause more people to suffer. Liu Dao simply used his qinggong to catch up and kill all these people.
After the massacre, everyone in the team looked at Liu Dao with admiration.
The strong always made people respect them.
"Ah Dao, are you alright?"
Only Lu Su hurriedly ran over, worried about Liu Dao's safety.
Liu Dao smiled and rubbed Lu Su's head.
"Do I look like I'm okay?”
"Ah Dao, you're amazing."
Lu Su was still a little shy in front of outsiders, but she still praised Liu Dao.
"Alright, it's fine now. Let's go. We're almost at Xianyang.”
Liu Dao smiled and greeted everyone.
The group of people casually threw the corpses into the wilderness and left. Liu Dao had no mood to collect the corpses of the bandits who had committed all kinds of crimes.
The team continued to head towards Xianyang.
Before he left, Liu Dao intentionally or unintentionally glanced in the direction of Qin Shihuang's group.
Others might not have noticed, but Liu Dao did feel that someone was paying attention to this place.
Although he did not know the other party's identity, since the other party did not make any strange movements, Liu Dao could not be bothered.
……
On the hillside.
Qin Shi Huang was silent for a long time and did not speak. The others naturally did not dare to say anything.
After a long while, Ying Zheng asked,"
"How long did it take him to kill those bandits?”
Li Si frowned and thought for a while before cupping his hands."
"Your Majesty, I estimate that it will take less than half a cup of tea's time (about five minutes), perhaps only one-third of it.”
"Hiss ~ In the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea, nearly two hundred lives have been lost. This is indeed unprecedented. He can be called a Sword God. Moreover, he comes and goes like the wind. I'm afraid that even a thousand troops won't be able to stop him. What a pity, what a pity ~"
Ying Zheng's expression was filled with pity.
Liu Dao was too powerful, so powerful that Ying Zheng could not leave him in Xianyang without worry. Otherwise, if Liu Dao had any disloyalty, no one would be able to stop him.
Fortunately, Ying Zheng did not harbor any ill intentions towards Liu Dao. He was just trying to balance the mind of an emperor.
Before there was someone who could contend with Liu Dao, Ying Zheng would at most not promote Liu Dao.
After all, Liu Dao did not show any bad intentions at the moment. He was still considered a high-ranking official under him.
……
Xianyang City.
After showing the token, Liu Dao and his group naturally entered the city smoothly. No one dared to make things difficult for a 2,000-dan county governor.
After all, if he reached this step, he would be promoted to the three dukes and nine ministers of the imperial court, or even a general of a region. This was not the way to seek death.
Liu Dao accompanied Lu Su in the carriage and looked at the scene outside.
Lu Su excitedly pulled Liu and said,"
"Ah Dao, Xianyang is very prosperous. I originally thought Pei County was prosperous enough, but I didn't see any city that could compare to Pei County.”
Liu Dao smiled and teased,
"What, do you think I'm not good at governing Pei County?”
"No, no, Ah Dao, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that.”
Lu Su hurriedly explained.
Halfway through his explanation, he saw Liu Dao's evil smile and knew that Liu Dao was teasing him.
"Ah Dao, you're bullying me again, hmph ~"
Lu Su immediately refused.
Liu Dao smiled as he pulled her into his embrace and pinched her little nose.
"After all, this is the capital of the Great Qin Empire. The Qin Empire has been developing for hundreds of years, so it's normal for Pei County to be inferior to this place.”
Lu Su's small face was slightly red. She was shy and did not say anything else.
Not long after, the team arrived at the official residence prepared by Xianyang for the officials who planned to enter the capital.
(There should be. Otherwise, where the officials who enter the capital live, everyone will have it.)）
Liu Dao brought Lu Su in directly. As he got people to clean up the official residence, he sized up the place.
The place was neither big nor small. It was naturally not as good as Liu Dao's own residence in Pei County, but it was enough for a hundred people to live in.
The environment was quiet and peaceful, so it was not a problem to use it as a temporary residence.
However, Liu Dao still couldn't rest after settling the arrangements.
First, he led the team to send the documents to the Prime Minister's Estate. After handing them over to the Chief Historian of the Prime Minister's Estate, he was temporarily done with his work.
The next step was to wait for the Prime Minister's Mansion to review Liu Dao's achievements in governing Si Water County in the past few years, and then make the decision on how to deal with him.
Liu Dao did not have to worry about whether he would be punished or not.
Although the unlucky county governor that Liu Dao had replaced was not a great talent, he had never had any problems governing Si Water County.
Later, after Liu Dao recruited Xiao He and the other geniuses, he personally suppressed the bandits and improved the security of Si Shui County. In just half a year, he had achieved initial results.
On the contrary, Liu Dao deliberately reported less results, lest he was too outstanding and was promoted and transferred away.
After that, Liu Dao sent his trusted aides to inquire about the way of bribery.
This wasn't difficult. It just so happened to be a major event that happened once every three years. Many officials who came to the capital from other places had to do something at this time. It had already become a mature industrial chain.
It didn't take long for him to find the relevant contact.
Liu Dao took out a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry that he had prepared long ago. They were all left behind by Liu Daojie when he was exterminating the bandits.
It wasn't for himself, but to secretly hand it over to Han Xin.
"My lord, no, my lord! Han Xin will never forget your kindness to him. In the future, he will die without regrets.”
Han Xin took the large amount of treasures from Liu Dao and knelt down.
After Liu Dao recruited Han Xin, who was a nobody.
He immediately gave him the position of county captain of Pei County, and then completely trusted Han Xin to train all his soldiers.
Now, he even spent money and effort to help him plan for the position of county lieutenant.
This was a 2,000-stone rank. Nominally, he was below the county governor, but in reality, he was a high-ranking official appointed by the central government to compete with the county governor. He was definitely a person with real power.
Although Han Xin had more or less guessed Liu Dao's thoughts, how could he not be moved?
In this era where gratitude was a must, Han Xin could be said to have been completely subdued by Liu Dao.
Liu Dao was the only one who trusted Han Xin so much because he knew that Han Xin had a story that had been passed down through the ages.
Liu Dao comforted Han Xin with a smile and left him to his own devices.
After all, the county lieutenant was sent by the imperial court to check and balance the county governor. Naturally, Liu Dao could not come forward to plot, or it would only backfire.
At night, Lu Su mentioned that she wanted to take the opportunity to visit Xianyang for a few days. Liu Dao naturally did not refuse.
