Chapter 22 Hope Will Turn into Despair
Tonight, the sixth station.
Laughter and laughter, push the cup for a change.
Bai Yu and eighteen other black knights became the most talked-about figures in the entire military camp.
Eighteen knights directly took down the heads of two hundred barbarians.
Such a record is unprecedented.
The next morning.
A thousand-mile horse was galloping towards Yuyang County, and soon arrived at the county captain's mansion.
County lieutenant Liu Hengzheng was sitting in front of the desk looking a little tired, and this was the first night that he didn't close his eyes.
In front of him, there are more than ten bamboo slips.
The content in it is all about the Hu people burning, killing and looting the village sent by the local government.
At present, the tiger thieves are getting more and more rampant.
A few years ago, after the pursuit of the Hu thieves reached the border, it stopped.
This kind of thing often happens, Liu Heng is used to it, and the attack on the Hu thieves is also limited.
Only this year has changed dramatically.
In the beginning, the villagers always encountered Hu Jun pretending to be a Hu thief.
It's just that there are no natural disasters this year. Why do these barbarians repeatedly test the border?
After thinking about it for several days, a terrible speculation suddenly appeared in Liu Heng's mind.
These Hu thieves pretending to be Hu thieves seemed to be plundering the villagers on the border, but they actually wanted to see the reality of the Qin army.
They must be preparing a big conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Liu Heng was a little distressed. What are these barbarians planning?
It's just that there are some signs that he has to take action.
Last night, he asked his subordinates to hurry up and report his guess and the current situation to Xianyang.
At this moment, Liu Heng, who was supporting his tired body, could not help but sigh.
I wish I was just thinking too much...
But no matter what the situation is, you can't sit still.
He quickly informed the local border station that they must be more vigilant and give them a heavy blow whenever they encountered Hu people.
Sudden.
"Da da da."
The soldiers ran over in a hurry.
"Your Excellency, Commander Liu, Mr. Liu, the [-]th Commander, is urgently in need of information."
Information from Le'er?
Liu Heng quickly put down the bamboo slip in his hand.
Yes, five hundred chief Liu Le is the eldest son of the county lieutenant.
Because his father was a soldier, Liu Le lived with him in the barracks since he was a child.
As an adult, he couldn't wait to become a soldier.
Because of his own ability, Liu Le soon became the five hundred chief of the sixth station.
However, in the military camp, few people know the relationship between Liu Le and Liu Heng, the county lieutenant.
Liu Heng took the bamboo slips from the soldiers and spread them on the case.
As soon as it was opened, Liu Heng couldn't help being surprised.
Xibei Village encountered another two hundred thieves.
However, the sixth garrison only used [-] people and killed them directly.
Clean and neat, no muddy...
Seeing this, even Liu Heng, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but praise him.
Then, when he saw the name Bai Yu, he was even more surprised.
Last time, this young man beheaded ten Hu thieves with a single sword.
Liu Le had attached great importance to this young man in his letter before.
It has only been two days now, and there is such a great achievement.
Having never seen such a powerful young man, Liu Heng was very interested in Bai Yu.
Thousands of miles away, Xianyang City.
A carriage flying the black dragon flag was driving slowly in the direction of Afang Palace.
Shadow guards are scattered around the entire Afang Palace and are heavily guarded.
Zhang Han lifted the curtain of the carriage respectfully, and King Qin Yingzheng stepped down from the carriage.
Then he looked up at the plaque on Afang Palace.
A sense of peace and tranquility suddenly appeared on that perennially cold face.
"Da da da!"
The black dragon robe is embroidered with black dragons, and on the waist is the King Qin sword, which symbolizes power.
Ying Zheng walked slowly towards A Fang Palace.
Zhang Han, who was behind him, looked at King Qin's back and couldn't help but sigh.
Your Majesty... Does this remind you of what happened 20 years ago?
Before, I only came here once every two months at most.
And in the last month, as long as His Majesty is free, he will come to Efang Palace, this is already the tenth time.
"Hey!"
Zhang Han couldn't help but shook his head at the door of Afang Palace.
But the young man he met in Yuyang County suddenly appeared in his mind.
This young man looks so much like His Majesty, if he meets His Majesty and talks to him, will His Majesty let go of the previous things...
The bright moonlight makes the person particularly calm.
Ying Zheng climbed up to the Zhaixing Tower with his hands behind his back, and the moonlight shone on him, leaving behind a stalwart figure.
When I looked up at the sky, I suddenly found a particularly bright red one hanging in the north.
This?
Ying Zheng couldn't help being a little surprised. He had never noticed this star, but he felt it was very kind.
As he kept staring at the red star, Ying Zheng, who had always been cold and ruthless, suddenly felt a little warm in his eyes.
"Ah Fang... are you still blaming me...
If I had been firmer then, the child would have been healthy and safe..."
Under the moonlight, Ying Zheng just looked up at the sky, but no one answered him.
"Hey."
After a long time, Ying Zheng suddenly sighed, as if he was relieved and made a decision.
Then slowly walk down the Star Picking Tower.
Outside the palace gate.
Ying Zheng made everyone retreat, leaving only Zhang Han alone.
As soon as Zhang Han looked up, he noticed Ying Zheng's red eyes, and couldn't help being shocked.
"Pfft!"
Zhang Han knelt directly on the ground, clasped his fists together: "Your Majesty, minister..."
Ying Zheng just turned his back, not wanting anyone to see the emperor's weakness.
After a long time, Ying Zheng said, "Zhang Han, how much do you remember about the past 20 years?"
What?For 20 years ago?
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhang Han became nervous.
This question was what he was most afraid of, but at this moment he couldn't avoid it.
Zhang Han swallowed his saliva, and said slowly: "I...remember some."
Ying Zheng said nothing and kept staring at the scarlet star in the night sky.
After a long time, Ying Zheng's hoarse voice was heard.
"In your opinion... is that child... still alive?"
This……
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Han's forehead.
He dared not answer the question.
Suddenly Bai Yu appeared in his mind again.
Sentimental eyebrows, indifferent expression, and that innate momentum, self-confidence...
Zhang Han also couldn't explain clearly, and various circumstances showed that this young man could not be the child of King Qin at all.
But...he hoped that Bai Yu was really Ying Zheng's child.
Because of this, the heart disease that has been hidden in His Majesty for 20 years will be resolved, and His Majesty will be able to feel less guilty and self-blame.
Although he hoped so, he dared not tell Ying Zheng about the young man.
If not, then Ying Zheng will definitely blame himself even more.
With hope, it is very likely that it will turn into despair in the end.
