A Step Into The Past: I Am Han Xin - C151

At this time, the world was in chaos, and curfews had already been imposed in all of the capital cities, so Handan City was no exception. Han Huaichu heard that the Handan had started a curfew and that the city gate was closed at around eight in the evening. He rushed towards the Handan City without stopping, wanting to enter the city before the city gates closed.

On the way, he saw many refugees rushing out from the direction of Handan City, but no one wanted to enter the city as much as he did. Han Huaichu fought against the flow of people and finally reached the southern gate, but he was a step too late. The city guards had just closed the gates.

Han Huaichu saw that the sky had not dimmed yet, and felt strange in his heart, “Why is it that the Handan City has not come yet, and the city gate is already closed so early today?

Outside the city, there were only a few stalls selling groceries. “These people are all citizens outside the city. Seeing that the city gate is closed and no longer has any business, they want to return home.”

Seeing that the old man selling the candied fruits had a kind expression, Han Huaichu dismounted and walked over. “Old Uncle, why are you closing up the city so early?” That old man replied: “I heard that it was on the order of betraying General Li Liang, to close the city early today.”

“That’s right, Li Liang had rebelled, and the situation in the city was not stable yet, so naturally the city gates had to be closed long ago.” Han Huaichu then asked: “How is the situation in the city?”

The old man sighed and said, “It’s been decades since this city has been so chaotic. I heard that people are catching people everywhere. The court officials fled one after another. When they arrived a little late, the rebel army came to the door and tied them up, bringing them to the palace. If they disobeyed, the entire family would be slaughtered by the rebel army. This truly is a calamity! ”

Han Huaichu asked again: “Then what else did the traitor Li Liang do?” The old man said: “I heard that the officials gathered at the main hall are having a discussion. As for what is being discussed, the palace is already heavily guarded, and we commoners have no way of knowing. ”

Han Huaichu thought, could it be that the officials did not agree to accept Zhao Xie as their king, that Li Liang was in a difficult situation, so he did not contact the Third Senior Brother? Thinking again, he felt that something was amiss, if there was anyone in Li Liang’s Chen Bing court that was unwilling to give him a slash, as long as he made up his mind to make Zhao Xie the king, how would they care about whether others would agree or not?

Moreover, Zhao Xie was a descendant of King Zhao Huiwen. Zhao Ren had thought about his old master for a long time, so there shouldn’t be such a big obstacle for him to become the King.

Han Huaichu suddenly froze: Could it be because of Ji Feng?

He had once seen Ji Feng fly through Handan on a crane. There must be something bad going on in the Devil Lord. Han Huaichu faintly felt that Li Liang delaying contact with him would be related to him.

Han Huaichu thought, it seemed that only by sneaking into the city would he be able to find out the reason.

So he tied the horse in a secluded place and walked to the foot of the city, where no one could see the wall.

He had brought flying claws from the future with him to climb the wall. It was just that the Handan City was the capital of the Zhao State, because even though the city walls were made of beaten earth, they were built tall and thick, to the point that they were more than thirty meters tall. Han Huaichu measured it with his eyes and was immediately discouraged.

“It seems like today, I can only return empty-handed.”

The sky had gradually darkened, leaving Han Huaichu with nothing he could do, wanting to return. He had just taken two steps when he heard a cracking sound. The two gates had been opened.

More than ten ox-carts emerged from the city. The car was filled with soldiers in military uniforms, but they didn’t carry weapons. Everyone held a shovel in their hands.

Han Huaichu saw this strange, it was already so late, why would these group of soldiers leave the city? Why was everyone carrying a shovel?

Before he could come to a conclusion, the city gate suddenly closed.

The oxcart sped away.

“Since this group of soldiers is leaving the city, they still have to enter the city. Who the hell cares, let’s keep up with them first and see if there’s any chance for us to get into the city. ” Han Huaichu thought.

Thus, he used his Qing Gong and quietly chased after it.

Han Huaichu had already reached the seventh stage of Innate Genuine Qi, so he also advanced in the dao of light arts. Although it was not comparable to the “Soaring Earth” technique performed by his master when he was at the Mangdang Mountain, it was still more than enough to chase a few ox-cart filled with soldiers. After a while, the last oxcart could be seen. Han Huaichu maintained his distance and followed along with his tail.

The ox-cart came to a halt. As far as the eye could see, the land was fertile and fertile.

The soldiers jumped out of the car, brandished their shovels, dug up the fertile soil in the field, and loaded it into the cart.

Han Huaichu understood that these soldiers were trying to load the carriage with soil. However, he did not know what use they would have.

He then went into the dark corner and activated the Mystical Arts, attentively listening to the soldiers speak.

A leading field officer cursed, “Damn it! At this late hour, when they were all drinking and eating meat, they sent us brothers here to do this menial task. ” Another little soldier said: “That’s right, today General Li took out the wine hidden in the palace to reward the three armies, but it’s not our turn, how stifling.”

The field officer said, “Hurry up and do it. We can still make it back in time to drink.” That little soldier said depressingly, “When we go back, we’ll have seen the end of the wine jar long ago.” The field officer smiled and said, “Then let’s go back and lick that wine jug.” The little soldier harrumphed, “I’m afraid that even the wine in the palace has been licked dry by those fellows.”

One of them suddenly said, “You said that the pond was filled with decapitated, disemboweled corpses. Some of them even showed their stomachs. I’m afraid I’ll have a nightmare tonight after I move all those corpses. ” The field officer laughed, “Old Ji, you’ve also seen those beauties in the palace. All of them looked like they wanted to take a bite out of it. Not having a dream and having a nightmare?” The soldiers nearby all began to laugh.

The one called Old Ji laughed wickedly: “That Wu Chen is already dead, I wonder how his concubines are going to be released? If I could hug one of them and sleep, I’d be willing to die. ”

The lead field officer scolded, “Stop dreaming, I want to catch one.” But with our identity, how can we be matched? I think it’s better to hurry up and bury that pool later. I’ll go to the mountain side and get more wine for my brothers to drink. ”

Han Huaichu finally understood. “So the reason why these soldiers dug was to bury the King’s Pond that was dyed red with blood.”

When the soldiers heard that there was wine to be had, they immediately became more energetic, and their shovels became especially powerful. Before long, it was filled to the brim with a carriage full of earth.

Then, someone brought the ox-cart to the opening, pulled another one over, and continued digging.

Han Huaichu’s heart was moved, “I am just worried about not being able to infiltrate the city. Even if they entered the city, they wouldn’t be able to sneak into the palace. This is not a godsend chance, why not just hide inside the ox-cart and follow these soldiers into the palace? ”

If he hid in the ground, wouldn’t he suffocate to death? How did Han Huaichu come up with this idea?

His Innate Genuine Qi was cultivated using the Great Breath of the Nascent Soul. The breathing technique did not require breathing in and out of his mouth and nose. All he had to do was to breathe under his navel, keep his spirit in his body, and use his aura to create a mystical embryo that could breathe continuously and live endlessly.

Of course, if one were to hide in the ground and not die, it was only possible for Han Huaichu who had practiced the Great Breath Technique to do so.

Han Huaichu made up his mind, and quietly went to the front of the oxcart that was filled with mud. At this moment, night fell. The soldiers were digging and no one noticed that he was one of them. Han Huaichu turned and leapt onto the oxcart.

He lay down flat on his back and used his hands to pick at the dirt, covering his entire body. Thus, he gathered his Yuan Qi to guard the one, and started to do his work according to the method of the Great Art of Breathing Technique he had learnt in the past.

Very quickly, Han Huaichu entered the realm of “Ethereal”, “Yongquan”, “Baihui”. The two major acupoints at both ends of “Baihui” opened, and the unrestrained Spirit Gathering Qi that was everywhere in the world was being absorbed continuously.

At this time, the sound of soldiers shoveling and shoveling could be heard, accompanied by the frog calls that came from above the fields, Han Huaichu could hear them very clearly.

Under normal circumstances, his hearing could reach a radius of five kilometers. At this moment, he was buried in the ground. Even though it was already discounted, he could still hear every single movement within a mile.

Suddenly, he heard someone say, “Don’t you think it’s strange that our General Li would agree to hold that Ji brat as the Son of Heaven?” Another one said, “I think this matter is very strange. It looks like our General Li wanted to fight with that brat, but who knew that the kid would take out a red banner and with just a wave, General Li changed his mind and knelt down to kowtow, calling that kid Master. ”

“It really is Ji Feng!” Han Huaichu’s heart trembled.

The Devil Lord wanted to be the Son of Heaven! It was really amazing. No wonder Li Liang did not send anyone to contact Third Senior Brother.

Then, he thought about what method Ji Feng used to make Yun Che, who dared to kill even King of Zhao s, listen to him.

The leader of the group said, “I see that the banner is a bit strange. It can actually emit fire. And that fire is green, it looks like the color of the ghost fire on the grave. ” The latter replied, “Yes, that Ji kid’s background is a little strange. I don’t think he’s a good person.” The leader continued, “But he claimed to be a descendant of the Zhou royal family. He wanted to revive the Zhou dynasty’s River Mountain Society.” The latter said, “Is our General Li crazy? So many soldiers and horses that have died in the King Zhang Chu have yet to get on the Son of Heaven, with our little group, if they want to establish a young master from another country as the emperor and attack the dukes of the world, won’t they kill us quickly? ”

The commanding officer’s voice rang out, “Stop babbling nonsense and focus on your work!” The latter, however, was still nagging. “Chief, I feel guilty just thinking about it.” The field officer sighed and lowered his voice, “We are soldiers, we only need to follow orders from the top.” Don’t think too much about these national affairs. ” The latter acknowledged and continued, “I’ve already thought about it. As long as you send me to attack the other nobles, I will be a deserter. At most, I will not eat this bowl of food.”

Many of the soldiers had the same thought. For a while, everyone was lost in their own thoughts, so no one spoke anymore.

After an hour, the ten ox-carts were all filled to the brim. The field officer shouted, “Return to the city!” All the soldiers jumped onto the ox-cart, and returned to the Handan City.

At this time, Han Huaichu had at least four buttocks, and with eight legs pressed on top of him, he repeatedly cried miserably in his heart, but was unable to make a sound.

The carriage jolted all the way to the city gate. The city guards did not ask any further questions and just opened the gates to let them in.

Upon entering the Handan, the road was flat, and the ox-cart didn’t roll back and forth like before. Han Huaichu could only hear the silence on the road. It was probably because of the curfew, but there were no longer any pedestrians on the road.

The oxcart turned back and forth before finally coming to a stop. A person asked, “Have you guys finished digging?” The field officer replied, “These cars are all filled to the brim. I don’t know if they’ll fill up the pond in the palace.”

He heard the creaking sound again, and thought that it was the palace door that had been opened. The ox-cart continued on until it came to a stop.

The commanding officer shouted, “Take off the dust!” All the soldiers answered in unison. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of “Hai”. It seemed like everyone was shouting with all their might as they lifted the ox-cart and filled the pond with dirt.

After going through it five or six times, it was now Han Huaichu’s turn to hide. With a “hua la” sound, under the shouts of the soldiers, Han Huaichu and the soil were poured into the pond.

The moment Han Huaichu entered the pond, he could no longer stay lying down flat on his back, but had his head and feet flipped upside down. He rode the sand and dust, rolled over, and quickly adjusted himself into a sitting position. Then, his vision turned black, and several pieces of soil and rocks rained down, covering his entire body.

Then, another few carts of soil fell. Han Huaichu was buried as tall as a person.

The soldiers poured the soil down, but it was not even half the size of the pond. The field officer said, “Finally, this fishy smell is overshadowed. Tomorrow we will go and move the soil again, and fill up the pond. ”

Thus, everyone pulled the ox-cart and left, leaving behind us men who had buried our feet alive, Han Huaichu.
