When I heard that he was definitely talking about us, I also wanted to strike up a conversation with this young man, but I didn't know where to start. Now was a good opportunity, so I immediately replied,"We just don't want to make things difficult for the shopkeeper. We don't have any ill intentions. Sir, why take it so seriously? I see that you're different from ordinary people. Can you move to our table and we can talk about it in detail?" After saying that, I signaled the shopkeeper and the waiter to leave.
The innkeeper led the waiter away.
This young man didn't stand on ceremony. He stood up and came to our table and sat opposite me. He didn't say anything and just looked at me in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
I asked. Sir, you look like a person with great wisdom. I wonder where your immortal hometown is. Your surname is Gao Ming. What business do you have?
The young man replied,"My surname is Wang and my name is Xu. I have lived in Cloud-Dream Mountain for a long time. I have traveled here and seen the local wonders. I have come to stop and check them out." After saying that, he looked at the distant green mountain and continued. According to etiquette, I should also ask everyone present, but I have already guessed from their faces. If I am not wrong, these two should be people with high authority in this dynasty. And you are a little special. Your appearance is the most honorable person in this dynasty, but it seems that you are not only that.
Who was this person? It seems that he knows us, and his definition of me is not as simple as knowing us. I immediately contacted Brother Nine. Brother Nine's answer was very straightforward. He only told me that he wanted to complete his task and that it would be helpful to me.
I said after a pause. The walls have ears, so there's no need for you to continue. If I'm not wrong, you should know the purpose of our trip.
The young man smiled but didn't say anything.
I went on to say that my two friends have different opinions. What do you think, sir?
The young man pointed at Shang Yang and said with a smile,"All of you seem to have verified that this gentleman is right." In fact, the direction of doing big things was the most important. Change was the trend of the times, and not changing was akin to sitting still and waiting for death.
Although Gan Long could tell that this person was not an ordinary person, he was still a little unconvinced. He said, Sir's words are a little arbitrary...
I hurriedly stopped them. I didn't want them to continue debating. If they continued, Gan Long would definitely expose our identities. Although this young man already knew our identities, it wouldn't be good for others to know our identities in this wild mountain village.
I changed the topic. Sir just said, what does this place mean? Can you interpret it?
The mountain in front of us is called Mount Li. The northern foot of Mount Li is a place with excellent feng shui. If an emperor can build a tomb facing east and west here at the beginning of his ascension, he will be able to unify the Central Plains.
I almost jumped up. The three of us had unknowingly arrived at Mount Li. This was the location of the Emperor Qin's tomb in the future. Moreover, what he said was too consistent with the development later on. Who was this person?
I was about to continue asking, but this young man seemed to have seen through my doubts. He shook his head and said,"Let's call it a day. I still have something to do. Let's part ways here!" After saying that, he was about to leave, but he looked at Gan Long and said,"If you all agree, don't continue to head east tomorrow. Otherwise, this gentleman may have a bloody disaster."
The young man left in a carefree manner, leaving the three of us in a mess.
Gan Long's face was obviously very ugly. Shang Yang and I didn't continue to provoke him. At this moment, the waiter served a big bowl of stewed chicken and two plates of fried chicken.
The stewed chicken was stewed with wild mushrooms. The heat was just right. The bones were crispy and the meat was tender. The mushrooms were also pure wild mushrooms. They were tender and smooth, and they had a unique fragrance.
I asked the waiter to serve us three bowls of wine. At first, Gan Long was still a little depressed. Later, he couldn't resist me and Shang Yang persuading him to drink. In addition, the wild mountain mushroom and little stupid chicken really tasted good. Gan Long temporarily forgot about the dispute of the reform and asked for another jar of wine to drink with us.
After dinner, we went to the guest room to rest. The guest room was not big, but it was very clean. It could sleep three people. I waited for the two of them to fall asleep and immediately went to the Yuan Universe. I asked Brother Jiu who that person was and why he was so godly.
Brother Nine said with a smile. This person's surname was Wang Xu.
I said that I know, but who is Wang Xu?
It seems that you have to read more history. Wang Xu is the famous Guigu 'zi.
Ah, Guigu 'zi, why is he so young?
Brother Nine continued to laugh. Who didn't have their youth?
That's right. Why did he suddenly appear in the inn? Did we arrange it?
Not entirely, but this is also one of the collaborations between Mr. Guigu 'zi and our universe.
We only chatted for a short while when we saw such a god. I haven't even paid my respects to this god before he left. It's such a pity. Oh right, he was too accurate when he said that Qin Shihuang's mausoleum was the site he chose? He even said that Qin Shi Huang would get another divine item. What was it?
There's no need to feel pity. We will have other collaborations with this Mr. Guigu 'zi. You'll find the answer to the questions in your heart after a while. Now is not the time...
The next morning, we got up at dawn to pay the bill. The shopkeeper was very kind and specially prepared some breakfast for us.
After we used it, we discussed where to go next. Shang Yang said,"If it doesn't work, let's listen to that gentleman from yesterday and go home!"
Gan Long said unwillingly-he didn't believe that he would be in any danger in Great Qin's territory. Since he was already here, he couldn't give up halfway. He suggested that they head east first.
Looks like this Gan Long really won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River. I didn't reject him.
After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper and the waiter, the three of us left the shop and walked less than two miles east. Suddenly, he heard cries coming from another dirt road not far away. On the road, there were more than ten evil slaves dragging a young girl forward. Behind them, there was an old man and an old woman chasing after them. There were also a few evil slaves who were blocking and beating the old couple.
This scene reminded me of the episode in Journey to the West where Zhu Bajie was born, but now was not the time to think about that. I quickly asked the surrounding farmers who were watching what was going on.
These people were unwilling to answer and only sighed. Finally, a bolder old farmer said that the leader of this group of people was our famous local bully, Zhang Huairen. Zhang Huairen relied on the fact that His Lord was a minister and received the salary of the imperial court every year to hook up with the local officials. I heard that he even had a relationship with Gan Long, the minister of the court. He was a tyrant in our local area. He raped men and women and did all kinds of evil. This young lady is called Zhao Xiaolan from our village. A few days ago, Zhang Huairen came to our village to collect debts and immediately took a liking to Zhao Xiaolan. Then, he shamelessly went to our village to propose marriage. Zhang Huairen already has six wives, and he goes out every day to flirt. Zhao Xiaolan's father, Old Zhao, didn't agree to it at that time. He didn't know how Zhang Huairen did it. He insisted that the Old Zhao family owed his family money and asked the Old Zhao family to return the money within a time limit. Otherwise, he would capture his daughter to pay off the debt. In fact, everyone knew that this kid was definitely talking nonsense, but no one dared to care. Today was the deadline that Zhang Huairen had mentioned. Zhang Huairen had brought the evil slaves to our village early in the morning to snatch people. Look, the one wearing red silk is Zhang Huairen.
I asked: Doesn't the government care?
The old farmer said,"Didn't I say that?" Zhang Huairen's family was a minister of the world. It was said that he was related to Gan Long. How could the government dare to interfere? The three of you should hurry up and leave this troublesome place.
I looked at Gan Long. Gan Long's face was green, red, and white. He ignored the young man's warning yesterday and rushed to the earth path without waiting for us to finish speaking. He shouted,"Stop!" This shout really startled the group of rascals, but they did not let go of the woman.
Zhang Huairen squinted his eyes and walked up to Gan Long and asked,"Who the f * ck are you?" You're making a big fuss and giving me a fright. Hurry up and get lost. Otherwise, I'll remove it for you today.
Gan Long was really something. He was not afraid at all. He glared at him and directly reported his name as Gan Long, a minister of the court.
He thought that these people would definitely stop when they heard that he was Gan Long and even kowtow to him. However, he was wrong. The group of people looked at each other and then laughed sinisterly.
Zhang Huairen went forward and slapped Gan Long. He cursed as he slapped him.'You f * cking dare to impersonate Gan Long? I'm still the f * cking King of Qin. Guys, beat him up.'
As soon as Zhang Huairen finished speaking, four or five evil slaves rushed up and pretended to beat Gan Long. Shang Yang and I quickly stepped forward to stop him.
When this Zhang Huairen saw us coming up, he immediately cursed,"You two get lost, or I'll beat you up too."
Of course, I couldn't listen to him. I stepped forward and kicked down the evil slave who was dragging Gan Long. Then, I pulled Gan Long and ran. Shang Yang followed behind. These evil slaves temporarily let go of Zhao Xiaolan and started chasing after us.
The three of us obviously couldn't beat more than ten of them, so we could only run forward. I think it's easy for the three of us to be caught if we run like this. That won't be easy. I shouted and split up.
Shang Yang and Gan Long said at the same time,"No, we have to protect the king."
I said anxiously. If they ran like this, they would be caught together. At that time, there wouldn't even be a messenger. If they could run, they would count. This was an order.
Only then did Shang Yang and Gan Long agree.
The three of us split up and ran in three different directions. When the evil slaves saw the three of us split up, they hesitated for a moment before immediately splitting into three groups to chase after the three of us.
At this moment, I had already run into the forest on the mountain. As I ran, I contacted Brother Nine. Brother Nine, what route did you choose for me? Why was it so dangerous?
Brother Nine said calmly. Everything was under control and it was not dangerous at all. Moreover, if you don't let Gan Long suffer a loss, how could he willingly support your reform?
What do you mean by making Gan Long suffer?
Continue running up the hill and look back in your 8 o'clock direction.
I turned around and looked in my eight o'clock direction. As expected, Gan Long's legs were the worst. He was caught by two evil slaves before he could run 200 meters. The evil slaves went up and beat him up.
At this moment, the number of evil slaves chasing after me began to increase. I quickly contacted Brother Nine. How could I run?
Brother Nine said in a serious tone," From now on, you must strictly follow my instructions. You can't go on business trips."
I indicated that there was no problem.
After running more than 500 meters, I was so tired that I couldn't take it anymore. Brother Nine told me to run in my two o'clock direction. After running for more than 60 meters, a large bush appeared in front of me.
Brother Nine told me to turn into the bushes and walk eight steps in, then three steps in my ten o'clock direction. There was a pit covered by tall grass. I directly jumped into the pit and opened my mouth wide to breathe, trying not to make a sound. I looked in my 3 o'clock direction and saw that Shang Yang had also been caught due to exhaustion.
At this moment, the evil slaves had already surrounded the bushes. Zhang Huairen had also arrived and ordered his ten or so evil slaves to search the bushes. However, the bushes were too big and too messy. There were some places where they couldn't hold hands at all. After searching twice, they still couldn't find me.
Zhang Huairen looked at the bushes and said to the evil slaves,"This kid definitely didn't run out. Moreover, this seems to be the leader. We have to capture him and continue searching."
When they searched for the third time, Brother Nine said to me,"Have you rested enough? This time, walk about ten meters in your 4 o'clock direction. There's a rock there. Hide to the north of the rock first."
I did as he said. Ten seconds later, Brother Nine asked me to slowly move 20 steps to my 1 o'clock direction and then 10 steps to my 4 o'clock direction. This was too exciting. I almost saw the people searching for me not far from me. I could see them, but under the cover of the trees and rocks, they couldn't find me. In the end, Brother Nine told me to run out of the bushes through a gap and run in his three o'clock direction.
After I ran out of the bushes, I was quickly discovered by the evil slaves. They chased after me relentlessly.
Seeing that they were about to catch up, a group of cavalry came from afar. When I saw it, I immediately shouted,"Come here quickly. There are bandits here."
When the evil slaves saw this, they stopped in their tracks. Zhang Huairen also caught up and shouted to the evil slaves,"Why aren't you trash chasing after them? We can't let them escape today. I'm going to make fun of the three of them today."
One of the evil slaves beside him whispered,"Boss, there's cavalry ahead." Zhang Huairen went up and gave the evil slave a slap. He scolded, Are you f * cking stupid? What's wrong with being a soldier? My family is Shiqing. Who dares to control us? Chase after them.
When these evil slaves heard him say this, they started chasing me again. At this moment, the cavalry had already arrived in front of me. Not bad. The leader was a Right General who happened to recognize me. He quickly dismounted and knelt down. Greetings, Your Majesty. At this moment, I was already out of breath. After panting for half a day, I said, He couldn't let these bastards escape, especially the one in red silk. He had to catch them now.
There were more than 200 cavalrymen in this team. It was very easy to catch a few evil slaves and scoundrels. In a short while, they were all caught. Zhang Huairen was still indignant and scolded these soldiers.
However, when he found out that the person he had just beaten up was really Lord Gan and that the person he was chasing was the king, he immediately lost his temper and begged for mercy. The few evil slaves also kowtowed and begged for mercy.
At this moment, Gan Long and Shang Yang were also saved. Shang Yang and Gan Long asked me, What about the king?
I said,"You can do whatever you want." Gan Long was already bruised and swollen. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Shang Yang and I were too tired. We sat at the side and watched how he would deal with these bullies. Gan Long was also furious. He picked up the whip and whipped Zhang Huairen. However, he was too old and tired from running just now. After a dozen whips, he was exhausted.
Gan Long called the evil slaves over and asked them to tie Zhang Huairen to a tree. They would take turns to whip him and scold him. Whoever beat him fiercely would be pardoned. Otherwise, they would all be punished the same way. When these evil slaves heard that, they all picked up their whips to protect themselves. They beat and cursed at Zhang Huairen. Everyone worked very hard and beat Zhang Huairen until he barked like a dog. At first, Zhang Huairen begged for mercy. Later, when they saw that Gan Long had no intention of sparing him, they began to scold Gan Long. Gan Long became even angrier when he heard that. He got someone to cover his mouth and continue beating him. I didn't want to continue watching. I discussed with Shang Yang and Gan Long. We have achieved our goal of visiting in disguise. We can go back now. We asked the cavalry to give us three horses and then let the cavalry escort us back to the capital.
As for Zhang Huairen and those evil slaves, they were handed over to the local government to be punished. The three of us returned to the palace. The palace was extremely anxious about my departure. When they saw that I had returned, everyone was relieved. I let Shang Yang leave first and left Gan Long behind. I asked him, Do you think we should reform now? Gan Long said,"Your Majesty, you don't have to say anymore. In fact, I've already thought about it on the way back. Mr. Shang's reform proposal is really necessary." It seems that my way of thinking is a little pedantic. Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am now fully supportive of the reform.
I hope that you can clarify your stance at tomorrow's court meeting and support the reform so that Great Qin can become stronger. Gan Long knelt on the ground and said,"I will definitely not let down the King's painstaking efforts. I hope that the reform can turn our Great Qin from a barbarian country that is looked down upon by other vassal states into a powerful country that everyone respects." I let Gan Long leave with ease.
The next day, I went to court as usual. The topic of discussion was still the reform. Although there were still many ministers who opposed it, with the support of Gan Long, the proposal for the reform was quickly passed. Now, it's time to implement the reform. My mission is complete. After another day, Brother Nine used his consciousness to tell me that history had been repaired and that the implementation of the reform was irreversible. Then, he immediately recalled me to the Primordial Universe.
