Through Time Chapter 159

The construction of the Great Wall is going well.

More and more unicycles are being built and progress is clearly speeding up.

And other folk, too, have taken it upon themselves to start making wheelbarrows.

It was simple to make and the materials were easy to obtain anyway.

Only he didn’t stay idle either.

Twenty or so men were divided up to watch the folk.

The others trained.

Only, Zhao Lang always felt that something was missing.

It wasn’t until he watched a patrol of cavalry go by that Zhao Long understood at once that

“How can we do without horses here.”

They still had a few horses in this group of a hundred, but if he wanted to raid a small tribe, this would be totally inadequate.

“Er, I want horses, is there anything I can do?”

Zhao Lang asked Ah Er, who was at his side.

Ah Er slowly shook his head and said that

“Chief, not to mention us county soldiers, even the border army, only that group of golden cavalry have horses.”

When Zhao Lang heard this, he frowned, but he wasn’t surprised.

Just by looking at his own stately home in Xianyang, it was rich enough.

But there were just a few old horses.

He could only take an ox cart when he went out.

But then there was no way for him to raid small tribes of Hu people and earn military credit.

It would be difficult.

Ah Er looked at Zhao Lang’s difficult face, hesitated and said that

“Chief, if you want a horse, there will be two horses in all the other hundred-man teams, instead.”

“We can borrow them.”

Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

Right, in every hundred-man team, there were two horses that were used for communication and reporting emergencies.

A dozen or so hundred-man squads could make a squad out of it!

It was just a matter of borrowing.

Zhao Long’s heart moved, looked back at the surroundings, and said to Ah Er

“Have you seen Ohio?”

Ah Er shook his head.

Zhao Lang frowned slightly, these few people were always playing disappearing these two days.

If he didn’t know that these few goods couldn’t make anything happen, Zhao Lang would have suspected that they were the traitors of which side.

“Go and get him.”

“Yes, chief.”

Er left in a hurry.

But it was not until noon, when the folk were dining, that Ah Er brought the men.

“Brother Long, you were looking for me.”

As soon as Hu Hai opened his mouth, Zhao Lang smelt a faint smell of wine.

Zhao Lang looked at Su, Gao, and Man at the side again.

Sure enough, each of them had some grease at the corners of their mouths.

It turned out that they had gone to eat alone, no wonder, the food in the barracks was even worse than the food in the farm.

It’s no wonder that the food in the barracks is worse than the food on the farm. It’s strange that these second-generation people can stand it.

But where did these people get the wine?

You know, although the wine of the Great Qin is certainly not comparable to that of the previous life, it is still fine and expensive stuff.

Zhao Lang didn’t look any further, he could use it right now.

Without knowing what to say, he said.

“Oi, I’ll give you a task, you deliver some unicycles to Li Shang’s construction site.”

Hu Hai froze for a moment and said that

“Brother Long, you don’t have a problem with that man, why are you giving him something to deliver.”

Zhao Lang said, indifferently.

“If you’re told to deliver it, just do it, where’s the problem.”

Hu Hai instantly bristled and said.

“I’ll just go and deliver it.”

At once Zhao Lang had a few folk, with a dozen unicycles, follow him.

When Hu Hai had staggered away, Zhao Lang said to Ah Er, who was standing by, that

“Follow him, and come and inform me when he is captured by Li Shang.”

“Well, it’s best to wait until he’s been beaten twice.”

“Huh?”

Er was straight up baffled.

“Chief, didn’t you tell him to deliver the unicycle? How come he’s about to be arrested?”

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

Zhao Lang looked at Hu Hai’s back at this time and said, with a bit of emotion

“You don’t understand, it’s his talent to turn good things into bad things.”

“Ordinary people can’t learn it.”

Then turning back he saw Sue, Gao and Man staring at him in disbelief.

They had just heard the words clearly.

Zhao Lang was not good enough to say that

“Why are you still standing around? When you’ve had your fill outside, go and see if there’s anything you want to help with on the folk’s side.”

Zhao Long was not accustomed to eating alone.

Fu Su wanted to say something else, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

He pulled the two of them towards the folk’s camp.

When they had walked a little further away, Win Yin Man spoke first, saying

“We’ve already met General Meng, why haven’t we cleared it with him!”

“Hmph, he’s still hollering at me!”

It was with Meng Tian that they had just dined together, and Hu Hai had had a little wine.

Fusu shook his head and said.

“We’ve only been at the border for a few days? What do you want father to think when we’ve already revealed our identities?”

Win Yin Man said, without good humour.

“I don’t care what father thinks, it’s not like I need to ask for that position!”

At the mention of that position, Fusu and Gao both gave each other a covert look.

Fusu went on to say that

“If you reveal your identity, Zhao… Long he still be so close to you?”

At the mention of Zhao Lang, Ying Yin Man’s pretty face flushed and she said.

“I… Don’t care about him…”

“Hmph, if you don’t want to talk about it, don’t bother me!”

With that, he made his way over towards the folk’s camp.

The remaining Fusu and Gao looked at each other and then looked away.

Fu Su said at this point that

“There won’t be anything wrong with Hu Hai, will there.”

Gao said in disbelief that

“Lang has all his plans, so naturally it’s fine, and it’s good that he’s suffering a bit.”

Fu Su said, seemingly unintentionally.

“You’re getting better at calling Brother Lang.”

Gao raised an eyebrow and

“Brother Long is a rare and virtuous man, so what’s wrong with me calling him Brother.”

Fu Su was silent at once.

By now, Hu Hai had already led his men and arrived at Li Shang’s construction site.

“Hey! Tell your leader to come out, I’ve brought something for you.”

Hu Hai shouted.

Soon, Li Shang came out with his men, and looking at Hu Hai he also recognised that the other side was Zhao Lang’s men.

At once, with a few moments of caution, he said that

“What is it?”

said Hu Hai, pointing to the wheelbarrow behind him, and

“Delivering something to you, hurry up and take it all away.”

Seeing those unicycles, Li Shang’s heart was moved; Zhao Lang’s construction site was just off to the side, and he had seen the benefits of the unicycles in the past two days.

He was planning to have someone make a few out as well, but he didn’t expect the other party to actually have them sent over.

Just thinking about Zhao Lang’s cold shot earlier made his head hurt a little and he said, nonchalantly

“Just put the stuff down, we’ll get it ourselves later.”

Hearing these words, Hu Hai was instantly enraged.

What kind of man was he?

Giving people things, others were never grateful.

The other side, a small centurion, dared to speak to him in this way, and said at once that

“Brother Long is kind enough to send you something, and you are still niggling.”

“Not even a word of thanks! What a lack of discipline!”

Li Shang’s old face turned red at the comment.

“How dare a little shiksa insult his superior officer!”

“Men! Arrest me!”

At this moment, not far away, Ah Er looked at this scene and could not help but exclaim that

“The chief is really divine!”

Then he ran off in a huff to report the news!
