Starting from Chi County, we passed by Xuchang, Bozhou, and Xuzhou, and traveled more than 1,800 miles. After ten days, Chen Xu and his group finally arrived in Xia Pi.

Xia Pi is an ancient city. During the Xia Dynasty, there was an ancient country of Xia Pi. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Xiang of Song built a city wall. During the Warring States Period, King Wei of Qi appointed Zou Ji to Xia Pi. Therefore, Xia Pi was still prosperous and had a population of tens of thousands.

Because Qing and Xu have been called Dongyi since ancient times, it is very different from the Shang and Zhou cultures representing the Central Plains. In addition, they are close to the coast, and people are very different from the Central Plains in terms of living habits and clothing. In ancient times, they mainly rely on hunting for a living. Bows and arrows are said to be invented by the Yi people. Therefore, when creating the character, the word Yi looks like a person carrying a bow.

Dongyi pursued the ancient times and was descended from Zhuanxu and Houyi. Like the Yue tribe, there were many tribes.

According to the Analects of Confucius, there are nine Yi in the east: one Xuantu, two Lelang, three Gaoli, four Mandian, five Fuqiu, six Suojia, seven Dongmao, eight Japanese, and nine Tianbi.

It can be seen that the Dongyi not only includes the Qilu area in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but also the Liaodong, the Korean Peninsula and even the Japanese archipelago, which are all classified as the Dongyi area.

This was Chen Xu's first trip to Daqin after traveling through time, so he naturally felt unparalleled surprise at the scenery along the way.

Later generations described how powerful the Qin Dynasty was, but they rarely described the living conditions of the Qin Dynasty people. Apart from the trash and poverty that fell into Chen Xu's eyes, he could never find a second word to describe.

What I saw along the way, both the towns and villages were all low thatched houses made of bamboo, wood, mud and stone, which was not much different from what he saw in Xiaohe Village, Qinghe Town or Zhi County.

The people and pawns I saw along the way were all ragged, black and thin. This lifestyle that seemed to be penniless in Chen Xu was completely sorry for the great name of the Qin Empire.

So poor! How could he be so poor!

Walking in the ancient city of Xia Pi and looking at the low thatched houses on both sides, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The earth and stone walls, which are only two feet low, are already very old, with three or five streets crisscrossing. In fact, they are just a county town that is not much bigger than Chi County. They are covered with soil and weeds, and there are no stone slabs on the streets, and the ground is bumpy. Occasionally, ox carts and horses shaking by, and the friction of the axles makes a crunch.

Chen Xu and his group were all dressed in weird clothes and riding tall horses, and they all carried swords and swords. There was a monkey squatting on the horse's back. There were even crossbows hanging next to the saddle of Wang Wu and others. It seemed that they were the kind of breed that could dominate. Therefore, when they appeared in Xia Pi City, it not only attracted countless people's surprise attention, but also caused chaos on the street.

After passing through a narrow street, a small river appeared in front of me, which was only three meters wide. The two sides were also reborn with weeds, and a small stone bridge was built on the river.

"Uncle, please ask, is this river called Yishui?" Chen Xu grabbed a middle-aged man dressed in a scholar and bowed.

"Little Langjun, this river is Yishui!" The middle-aged man also quickly bowed and said.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Pi is very small, and there is only this small river that passes through the city, and it is indeed called Yishui. Then the bridge in front of you must be the bridge where Huangshigong was waiting for Zhang Liang.

However, he turned around and looked around for several times, but he did not see an old man in a short robe.

"I guess Zhang Liang and Huang Shi Gong have not arrived yet?"

Chen Xu calculated in his mind that it took Yingbu six days to get the news from Daliang to return to Xiaohe Village, and then it took them ten days to go from Xiaohe Village to Xia Pi. In other words, it was only half a month before and after Zhang Liang assassinated Qin Shihuang. In addition, Qin Shihuang's orders have been passed on to the assassins who escaped from the world's great ropes, so Zhang Liang should still be fleeing around like a dog from a broken family. It is estimated that it will take a lot of time to run to Xia Pi.

"Let's go, find a place to have a meal first!"

Chen Xu took Yu Wuya, Ying Bu and others to look around the river and the stone bridge, and then led the horse to find a foot house nearby to rest and have a meal.

The meal was very simple and the taste was not good. The rough and tooth-stuck rice plus some boiled meat and wild vegetables were eaten by several people in one meal, as if they were swallowing poison, but they had this standard of living along the way, so they could only endure it for the time being.

"Shopkeeper!" Chen Xu called the owner of the foot house after dinner.

"What's the matter with Xiao Lang?" The owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a gray hair and a cautious expression. The main reason is that Chen Xu and his group have too much aura and are wearing extremely weird clothes. In addition to Yingbu, Qing Yishui's trousers, belts, and T-shirts, and a windbreaker is also covered with an alien.

"Have you seen young people with suspicious behavior recently?" Chen Xu asked with a smile.

The owner thought that you group of people were the most suspicious people I had ever seen in several years, but he did not dare to say this sentence, but quickly shook his head with a smile: "Not to mention our foot house, even in the city, I have never seen people with suspicious expressions come and go recently!"

"How do you know?" Chen Xu asked curiously.

"Haha, our Xia Pi is a remote place, not close to the big city, nor is it a big rush to go east and west. There are a total of 2,000 households in the city, and there are only three or five foot houses. There are not many people who come and go on weekdays. If there are strangers with suspicious signs, people will naturally know soon!" The owner quickly explained with a smile.

"Well, it makes sense!" Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought, "How much money do you make in a year with your feet?"

The owner was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Don't talk about making money, it's better to ensure that the family makes a living!"

"Since that's the case, you lend me this foot for a while and I will pay you fifty dollars a day. What do you think?" Chen Xu asked.

"Ah?" The shop owner Zhang Damou was a little stunned, as if he didn't understand what Chen Xu meant at all.

"Don't worry, we are all serious people. This is my household registration card!"

Chen Xu took out a small wooden sign from his body and handed it to the shop owner, "You borrowed it for a while, maybe half a month or a month. Don't worry, we will not destroy your items. If it is broken, we will compensate you according to the price, and people will pay for food and drink normally. Your family will live and operate as usual in the store. All income belongs to you. We just borrow this place to wait for someone, and we will leave once we wait. And you are more familiar with Xia Pi. You can also help us pay attention and inquire about whether there are strangers. If it is confirmed that it is the person we are looking for, there is another five hundred yuan in reward!"

"Okay!" After reading Chen Xu's identity card, the owner nodded repeatedly after hearing Chen Xu's words, and was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking.

"That's good!" Chen Xu smiled and asked Wang Wu to go to his pocket to get 1,500 yuan to give it to the owner. "This is our first month's deposit. If it is less than a month, it will all belong to you. If it is more than a month, we will settle it. You will first go find a few old clothes worn by locals. We will simply dress up as helpers and kitchen workers who serve as foot houses. From today on, your foot house will be under our jurisdiction. By the way, don't spread this matter!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, little husband, we will never reveal it!" The owner happily took Chen Xu and others to the backyard, and called out all the young and old to meet Chen Xu.

Two sons and two daughters, the youngest is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest is over twenty years old. Although the clothes are patched, they are still very clean and tidy. They look very different from the ordinary villagers in ragged, black and thin clothes on the street. Then there is a middle-aged woman with a slightly fat body and an ordinary appearance, which is a typical image of a Daqin woman. In addition, there is an old lady in her sixties with silver beard and white hair, who is the owner's mother.

The whole family looked at Chen Xu and Wang Wu and others who were following behind with swords, and were so reserved that they didn't dare to show off.

The owner told Chen Xu's request and asked his two sons to go out to find some generous old clothes. Then he asked his wife and two daughters to lead Chen Xu and others to arrange horses and housing. After a while, it was already evening.

"My benefactor, what do you want to do when you take us to this broken place from thousands of miles away?" When you went to bed at night, Yu Wuya finally asked the question that had been buried in his heart for more than ten days.

Since Qinghe Town, this question has been lingering in his mind, but he has not asked along the way, adhering to Chen Xu's usual sense of mystery and his non-talk style. Of course, Wang Wu and Ying Bu have not asked either, but Chen Xu has actually hid in such a remote town to open his feet. Such a strange behavior made him unable to bear it anymore.

"You saw your senior brother and Zhang Liang in Xianyang, so you must still recognize that Zhang Liang!" Chen Xu asked after washing his feet and lay down on the bed.

"Of course I recognize that I left Xianyang and was the caravan he helped find!" Yu Wuya nodded.

"I'm here for Zhang Liang this time!" Chen Xu said, looking at the black thatched roof.

Yu Wuya was stunned for a moment and said, "My benefactor, why are you looking for Zhang Liang? And why do you have to run so far? That Zhang Liang is a Korean. If you want to find him, you may be able to find it soon!"

"You don't understand. I need to find him at a suitable opportunity and a suitable place. You already know the news that Ying Bu brought back. Qin Shihuang was assassinated in Bolangsha..."

"You mean Zhang Liang was the one who assassinated the First Emperor?" Yu Wuya sat up in surprise, his eyes flashing with a slight white light in the dark.

"good!"

"How did you know?" Yu Wuya was surprised and suspicious.

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed!" Chen Xu kept it a secret.

"Well, this matter must be about 100% of the time. I didn't expect it. The eldest brother and Zhang Liang discussed the assassination of the First Emperor in Xianyang. It seems that they took action in Bolangsha after planning, but it's a pity..."

Yu Wuya shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that the emperor's fate is great and lucky, but he actually escaped. Otherwise, it would be great if the strong man killed with an iron cone. His benefactor would be able to rebel!"

Chen Xu turned over and didn't want to talk to this guy anymore.

Rebellion...Is it so easy to rebel?

And so what if the rebellion is successful?

Apart from killing, the world is still the world, and there will be only a few decades of chaos. If the intention of destroying Qin is not dead, the nobles of the six countries who are ready to move will never give up easily. However, if Chen Xu wants to kill all the nobles of the six countries, he thinks that he does not have the butcher-like heart of Xiang Yu, and he will never be able to do it.

"My benefactor, how do you confirm that Zhang Liang will run to this broken place after he escapes? If he doesn't come, wouldn't it be useless to wait?" Yu Wuya lay down again and said.

"What are you doing for so many questions? Some things you can't say, but it won't work if you say them!" Chen Xu muttered with his eyes closed, and soon the snoring sounded and fell asleep. He rode a horse all the way, and he was so tired that he could fall asleep every day when he got stuck in bed.

In the yard, Wang San and Wang Wu were sitting next to the stable with iron swords on the pile of forage next to the stable.

"Third brother, what do you think Chen Lidian is going to do when he travels all the way here to open a foot house?" Wang Wu asked depressedly while yawning.

"How do I know that Chen Lidian has always been mysterious and mysterious in his actions. The general asked us to come and protect him. He could only obey orders and not say too much!" Wang San said with a serious look.

"I know, I'm just curious. By the way, I feel complicated in this Yingbu. I should be more careful on weekdays!" Wang Wu suddenly lowered his voice.

"Shen Yan, this person is very skilled in swordsmanship, and you and I are not his opponents. However, with Wuya's elder brother, ten Yingbu can only bow down. Moreover, since Chen Lidian dares to take him in, he naturally has his own plans. Don't worry too much! You take a nap first, and I'll just watch it alone!"
