Chapter 213

: Juncheng sells troops

: Juncheng sells troops

The matter of Yu Yuan's seal is not something Li Chen can solve now, he can only leave it to the future.

After leaving Shushan, Li Chen did not stay in Shuzhong for long and walked towards Guanzhong along the route that Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo had taken when they attacked Shuzhong.

After Qin unified the world, Li Chen had not been to Xianyang yet. This time he came out and planned to take a walk and take a look.

During this period, Qin Shihuang had not yet begun his journey to seek immortality, but he was still very ambitious.

Entering the Guanzhong Plain, the lives of the people are much better than those in Chu and Shuzhong.

It's just that after many years of war, even the land that once belonged to the Qin State has lost much vitality.

At present, the world has been peaceful. In addition to the troops stationed at the border and the 500,000 troops marching south to Baiyue, the Qin State only left some troops stationed in the city.

Other temporarily recruited troops were repatriated to their places of origin and started agricultural production.

Walking around and seeing things along the way, it took more than ten days to reach Xianyang.

After arriving here, it gradually became lively. In addition to the merchants and civilians coming and going, there were also groups of soldiers, pulling weapons brought back from various places.

"What a big scene!"

This scene was recorded in "On the Passage of the Qin Dynasty" by Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty: "To make the city famous, kill the heroes; collect the soldiers of the world, gather them in Xianyang, sell Feng Dy, and cast them into twelve golden figures to weaken the people of the world."

"

These weapons were collected from the six countries.

However, Qin Shi Huang did not understand that it was not the weapons that were terrifying, but the human heart.

When people lose their hearts and cannot survive, they will pick up farm tools to resist even if they don't have these weapons.

Moreover, weapons are all man-made. If the people lose their support, how many weapons cannot be remade?

The whereabouts of Li Chen and the others were not deliberately hidden. After entering Guanzhong, they were discovered by the Shadow Secret Guards and the people in the net.

However, facing the notorious Li Chen, neither the Shadow Guard nor Luo Sheng dared to move lightly.

So, after reporting it layer by layer, the news was placed on Ying Zheng's desk. At this time, Li Chen and the others had already entered Xianyang City.

When he learned that Li Chen had arrived in Xianyang, Ying Zheng became furious and shouted angrily at Zhao Gao and Zhang Han in front of him: "Why did you report it when everyone came here?"

"What do Shadow Guard and Luo Wang do? Will you have to wait until his sword is put on my neck next time before you can find out?"

Although the Shadow Guards and Luo Wang had always refused to deal with him, now they were kneeling in front of Qin Shihuang's desk, both of them lowering their heads and not daring to answer.

Those who do intelligence work know more about Li Chen's strength than Ying Zheng. If Li Chen really has any bad intentions for Ying Zheng, they will definitely not be able to stop him with the help of the shadow guards and the people in the net.

Facing Ying Zheng's scolding, the two of them had nothing to say.

Ying Zheng got angry for a while, then calmed down and said to Zhao Gao: "Go and notify Mr. Gai Nie and ask him to go and meet with Li Chen and find out the purpose of Li Chen coming to Xianyang."

"At the same time, send a message to the Imperial Preceptor, inviting the Imperial Preceptor and the leader of the Yin Yang Family, Donghuang Taiyi, to come to Xianyang."

Zhao Gao bowed and replied: "No!"

Then he got up and left the hall to convey Ying Zheng's order.

Ying Zheng continued to look at Zhang Han in front of him and said in a deep voice: "During this period, the defense in the palace will be strengthened. Anyone who wants to enter Xianyang Palace must be reported!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Han bowed and saluted, and went to arrange the guards of Xianyang Palace in person.

Li Chen didn't know that his arrival would make Ying Zheng feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Taking Li Xin and Mei Sanniang with them, they started wandering around Xianyang City.

More than a hundred years ago, Qin Xiaogong moved the capital of the Qin State to Xianyang. Since then, the remaining warriors of the sixth generation of the Qin State, and when Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, the Qin State's national power had accumulated to a certain extent, and then the campaign to unify the world began.

.

Before the capital was moved to Xianyang, Qin's national power might not be weak, but it was definitely not at the level of unifying the world.

It can be said that the development of the Qin State began after the capital was moved to Xianyang.

Now, Ying Zheng unified the world and called himself the First Emperor. In order to distinguish himself from the previous kings of Qin, Ying Zheng began to recruit civilians to expand Xianyang City.

Therefore, the current Xianyang City is much more prosperous than Xiaoyao City with people coming and going.

Of course, these are only on the surface. In terms of wealth, it is definitely not as good as Xiaoyao City.

After so many years of hard work, almost every household in Xiaoyao City has savings of more than one hundred taels of silver.

Li Xin and Mei Sanniang both have relatively quiet temperaments, and neither of them has any intention of visiting the busiest street.

So, Li Chen took his two daughters to a restaurant, intending to listen to what the people thought of Qin.

Most of the people who can drink in Xianyang restaurants are people from Xianyang city or some businessmen from other places.

For the local people, they are happy that Qin's national power is strong.

Businessmen, who usually travel outside, are grateful to have a stable environment for them to do business.

Therefore, almost no one in the restaurant said anything bad about Qin!

Of course, it is also possible that he was afraid of being reported and did not dare to say anything bad about Qin.

The three of them had just been eating for a while when a middle-aged man wearing coarse white clothes walked up with a sword.

Walking straight to the table where Li Chen and the others were sitting, Li Chen looked up at the visitor and laughed: "Mr. Gai Nie, long time no see!"

Gai Nie bowed slightly to Li Chen and said, "I have met City Master Li. I wonder what important business the City Master has when he comes to Xianyang?"

Li Chen raised his hand slightly, motioning for Gai Nie to sit down, and said leisurely: "I'm tired of staying in Xiaoyao City, come out and take a walk!"

"Why, His Majesty the First Emperor can't sit still?"

Gai Nie shook his head and said: "The city lord is joking, your majesty is so talented and powerful, why should you be afraid? I just don't want to cause any misunderstanding with the city lord."

Li Chen nodded and said: "Don't worry, we are just wandering around and we will leave soon."

"As I said before, I've always been someone who doesn't want others to mess with me, and I won't go looking for trouble with other people."

"This is the best!"

Gai Nie nodded and said to Li Chen.

Li Chen looked at the sword in Gai Nie's hand: "It seems that Mr. Gai has changed his sword?"

Gai Nie lowered his head and looked at the sword in his hand: "Thanks to your majesty's love, I have given you this sword."

Li Chen smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Gai's reputation as a swordsman has spread throughout the world, and he is indeed worthy of this sword."

Gai Nie was silent for a while, then looked up at Li Chen and said: "If the city lord has nothing important to do, please leave Xianyang as soon as possible. Maybe your majesty has no intention of taking action against the city lord, but some people may not think so."

Li Chen smiled nonchalantly: "Then let them do it. It just so happens that there is nothing to do during this time, so I have enough leisure."
