"Creak ~"
A dozen soldiers pushed open the heavy city gate.
All the Qin Rui soldiers guarding the city gate welcomed him.
"The city gates are open. Please, Young Master."
The general of the city guard retreated to the side and made way for Ying Ziheng.
On both sides of the city gate, the commoners who were entering and leaving the city stopped in their tracks and took the initiative to retreat to the side.
Ying Ziheng rode through them on his warhorse. With a glance, the commoners lowered their heads and avoided him, not daring to look at him.
Some women with children had bamboo baskets hanging from their wrists and covered their children's eyes with their palms.
They were afraid that the soldiers on the battlefield would scare the children.
After all, the blood on the soldiers was too strong.
Most of these commoners were not from the Qin country, but from the old six countries.
However,
The Sang Hai was prosperous, and the Qin army had strict control over it. Even if there were bandits, they did not dare to oppress the people openly.
This also gave the people of Sang Hai a sense of security and belonging.
They did not hate the Qin army, but they were afraid of them.
"Is he the Sixth Young Master, Ying Ziheng? His eyes…are so scary."
"I heard that the Sixth Young Master fought against the Hu in Liaodong for five years, and he even used three thousand soldiers to kill ten thousand Hu soldiers. He is valiant and brave, and is deeply loved by His Majesty.”
"Isn't that so? That Hu was chased for a hundred li by the Sixth Young Master.”
"It is said that he led this cavalry at that time. They are called the Snowy Dragon Cavalry, and they are a terrifying existence that can fight against a hundred people at once.”
"They are indeed powerful. Any one of them is stronger than the general guarding the city.”
"Furthermore, my intuition tells me that the Snow Dragon Riders will not bully the commoners.”
"It's strange, I have the same feeling.”
"His Majesty wants the Sixth Young Master to hunt the world. This is to make the Sixth Young Master the Crown Prince.”
"I really hope that Sixth Young Master is a wise ruler and won't tyrannize us.”
………
Whispers came from the crowd.
Although her voice was soft, Ying Ziheng heard it clearly.
There was a large flow of people in Mulberry Sea City, but the commoners, merchants, and swordsmen all made way for them.
"Ta…"
After walking a hundred meters into the city, the sound of iron hooves suddenly came from the end of the street.
"Hyah, hyah…"
A burly man rode a warhorse and led a thousand elite soldiers towards the city gate.
Tian Yang was a former general of the Qi Kingdom and a descendant of a noble family.
After the Qi Kingdom was destroyed, some of the generals retired and returned to the fields, while some were given official positions by Great Qin and managed the old lands of the Qi Kingdom.
Great Qin had given the various countries 'old ministers official positions and a portion of their soldiers for two purposes.
One was to appease the people.
The second was to let them deal with the local bandits.
All these years, Tian Yang had been working hard and managing Sang Hai well.
The commoners could be considered to be living and working in peace and contentment.
"Entering the city?"
From afar, Tian Yang could see the Snowy Dragon Knights entering the city gates.
He frowned and cursed,
"Useless thing, you actually let the enemy attack the city so easily.”
Following that, Tian Yang drew his sword and rode his horse towards the Snowy Dragon Cavalry.
Behind him, an army of more than a thousand followed closely behind.
Looking at Tian Yang who was charging towards him, Ying Ziheng reined in his horse without any fear.
Tian Yang was only about 30 meters away from Ying Ziheng when he glanced at the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city were safe and sound, and the people did not panic and flee. There were no traces of battle.
What was going on?
Wait, that flag was…the Black Water Xuan Flag.
The Empire's army?
"Phew ~"
Tian Yang reined in his warhorse and held his sword. He cupped his hands and bowed to Ying Ziheng.
"I wonder which general entered the Sang Hai?”
Tian Yang's brows were filled with a heroic spirit as he sized up Ying Ziheng with his bright eyes.
He was valiant and high-spirited.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man with a tall and straight posture, his aura as vigorous as the sun, a pair of eyes as bright as the cold stars under his sword-like eyebrows, and his entire body emitting the aura of a tyrant.
When did the Qin Dynasty produce such a young general?
"Ying Ziheng."
Ying Ziheng said softly.
Before he could finish his sentence, Tian Yang raised his eyebrows and immediately dismounted.
"Tian Yang greets Young Master. I hope Young Master can forgive me for not being able to welcome you.”
"It's fine."
"Thank you, Young Master."
Tian Yang stood up and made way.
"Young Master must be tired from the journey. The prefecture has prepared tea and desserts.”
Then, he arrived at Sanghai County with Tian Yang.
……
"Tian Yang, are there any bandits in Sang Hai?"
Ying Ziheng took a sip of his tea, not forgetting the purpose of his trip.
The purpose of hunting the world was to eliminate the traitors of the six states who were hiding in the world.
"Young Master, Sang Hai does have bandits.”
Tian Yang didn't dare to be negligent. After all, this was the prince who hunted the world on behalf of the Emperor.
Not only did he have the brave Cavalry, but he also had the Emperor's Sword. He would most likely become Great Qin's ruler in the future.
Tian Yang continued,"
"In the forest outside the city, there are many bandits and robbers. Among them, there is a group of rebels from the Chu Country who often harass the people. They specifically target the wealthy merchants of the empire..."
"Not only did I rob them, but I also kidnapped the women of the rich merchants. I'm not capable enough, so I failed to lead my troops to encircle them several times.”
"The person leading the army is called Long Qie. He comes from a family of generals. Not only is he strong, but he also knows how to march and fight.”
Hearing this,
Ying Ziheng said softly,
"The Soaring Dragon Legion. Back then, Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry fought against them and did not gain any advantage.”
"It's normal that you can't win."
"If it weren't for the fact that they were outnumbered and that you failed to surround them several times, I'm afraid that Sang Hai would have become his territory by now.”
Hearing Ying Ziheng's words, Tian Yang felt ashamed and immediately said,"
"Young Master is right."
Ying Ziheng put down his teacup and ordered,
"Treat my Snowy Dragon Cavalry with good wine and food. Tomorrow, I will lead the army to flatten the Soaring Dragon Legion.”
"Yes, Young Master."
Tian Yang received the order.
Then, Ying Ziheng looked at Chen Baiyi and said,
"Take off your armor and follow me to an inn.”
………
In an inn.
"Shopkeeper Ding, are you planning to close down your business?”
The peddlers on the street were laughing and chatting with the innkeeper of an inn.
"It's rare to have a distinguished guest here today. We're closed today, hahaha.”
With that, a fat man with a big beard closed the door of the inn.
A young man was sitting in the inn's main hall.
"Little Zhi, why did you come alone?”
Pao Ding poured a cup of tea for Thief Zhi and sat down in front of him.
Thief Zhi picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Giant asked me to meet up with you to discuss how to deal with Ying Ziheng.”
Hearing this, Pao Ding was dumbfounded.
"Just…just the two of us?"
"Dong dong dong…"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the inn and the sound of a peddler.
"Young masters, Shopkeeper Ding is receiving an honored guest today and is not open for business.”
"Honored guest?"
Ying Ziheng smiled and said,
"Am I…not considered an honored guest?"
Then, Chen Baiyi continued to knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong…"
