Through Time Chapter 319

After a two-day break in the county, the southern party set off again.

The rest of the day was again the same as before, except that everyone was used to it.

Ten days later, the group had entered Nanyang County.

Zhao Lang rode his horse, looking at the fields on both sides of the road, and his brow couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Now that spring had begun, there were already farmers working in the fields.

But unlike the farmers near Xianyang, most of them were now ploughing the fields with oxen and Qin ploughs.

Here the farmers are still working with human labour, primitive tools.

The occasional Qin ploughs seen being promoted by farmers are only found in some fields close to the estate.

In other words, after the layers of money from their own farming families go down, only a very small amount reaches the farmers.

The rest was taken away by these local magnates who owned the estates!

He hadn’t dug in his heels and spent money on his old man, not for this group of powerful men who were already rich!

Zhao Long hated him with a passion, but there was nothing he could do about it!

His heart was getting more and more upset!

Today’s landing point was also a county town, and there was no need for Zhao Lang to say much, as everyone already knew the procedure for entering the town.

It would be good to follow the steps.

It was just that when he entered the city, Zhao Lang felt as if someone was watching him closely, which was not surprising.

Many people would come to watch as the First Emperor made his southern tour, and the whole county had now long been overcrowded.

Zhao Lang believed that there were quite a few peasants in it too.

These people, of course, could only look at the First Emperor’s carriage from a distance, through a protective barrier.

They were the foremost spies, and it was normal for them to be watched.

Only Zhao Lang didn’t notice that, within the crowd, a young man was looking at him with glowing eyes!

“It’s Gongzi Lang! It’s really Gongzi Lang!”

Just as the young man’s excited words were about to jump up and down.

A teenager came over to him and called

“My lord, Ah Liang is calling you back.”

The young man spoke with some impatience, the

“Junior, what’s your hurry? The gongzi has just seen a good friend!”

Junior also looked at the place where Zhao Lang had left with a few moments of joy, but his mouth still said that

“The servant has sent word that Duke Zhang Liang has returned, and has brought a distinguished guest with him! You are asked to return immediately.”

“Ah Liang has returned?”

Hearing Zhang Liang’s name, the young man could only glance reluctantly at the direction Zhao Lang had left.

Then he turned around and left.

Soon, a few people made their way back to their manor.

Only when they entered, Zhang Liang greeted them with a smile on his face and said that

“King Han! You are back! Gongzi Xie is visiting!”

The young man was naturally Han Cheng.

Hearing Zhang Liang’s words, he froze slightly and said that

“Your Excellency has come to rest?”

Of course he knew who Gong Zi Xie was, Zhang Liang had come from the other side, but how could the other side suddenly come to Nanyang County?

A voice soon rang out next to him, and

“King Han, Zhao Xie has saluted.”

Han Cheng turned his head and saw a flamboyant and polite young man with an extraordinary air, looking right at him.

Soon, the three of them took their seats.

“King Han, this time I went to contact Xiang Liang, a descendant of Chu, and I happened to meet Duke Xie, who was also visiting.”

“So the two of us came back together!”

Zhang Liang’s face was one of excitement that could not be hidden, and

“King Han, in this way, we already have the descendants of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Chu!”

“Great things can be expected!”

Having lost almost all of his own family to the tyrant Qin, Zhang Liang had always made no secret of his determination to destroy the Qin.

Zhao Xie, who was on the other side, also nodded slightly and echoed to that

“King Han, more than that, we also have Goguryeo as an external aid when we are outside.”

“Moreover, the people’s resentment against the tyrannical Qin is great nowadays, and if the assassination of the tyrant is successful, then a great event for us is at hand.”

While listening to the two men singing in unison, Han Cheng felt a slight sense of detachment.

It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Of course he also wanted to restore his homeland, but the two people in front of him were always extremely exaggerated in their words.

It seemed as if the fall of Qin was just around the corner.

But if it were so simple, why would they, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, need to hide?

Compared to Duke Long Yi, who had developed in a practical manner and even penetrated the inner circle of the Great Qin, it was a complete contrast between the sky and the ground.

What’s more, both of them were defeated by Gongzi Lang.

Now, Gongzi Lang was in the middle of the southern tour, and Han Cheng did not think that they, the men, could succeed in assassinating him.

“King Han?”

Zhang Liang shouted in a slightly embarrassed voice.

The two of them had just spoken to each other, only to find that Han Cheng had actually wandered off.

Han Cheng came back to his senses, squeezed out a smile and said that

“It would be best if the three families joined forces.”

“It’s just that nowadays I’m so weak that I’m afraid I can’t contribute much.”

A trace of contempt flashed in Zhao Xie’s eyes, he naturally knew how strong the other party was.

He had originally only wanted the reputation of the other party’s Han King as well.

The royal families of the six kingdoms still had some influence over the people of their homeland!

Smiling, he said.

“King Han need not worry, it just so happens that I also have a manor house in Nanyang, which I happen to present to King Han as a meeting gift.”

Han Cheng froze for a moment, then revealed a smile and said.

“How can I be so kind? The king will thank you for your rest.”

Of course Han Cheng would not refuse if he could get a hundred manor houses, and when the time came, he would find an opportunity to sell the other party to Gong Zi Lang.

Hmph, if the other party and Zhao Lang were to fight over who was the rightful bloodline of Zhao, of course Han Cheng would help Zhao Lang!

By then, he could earn another favour from Gongzi Lang!

It’s simply wonderful!

Zhao Xie also revealed a smile, a mere stately home could make the other party so, indeed, people are poor.

“King Han, that stately home is not far outside the city, why don’t we go and check it out tomorrow?”

Zhao Xie said with a smile.

Han Cheng, however, frowned and said that

“Duke Xie, today I saw the Qin army enter the city and put the tyrant’s carriage in the city, I’m afraid.”

“We still have to be careful.”

He did not say that he had seen Zhao Lang.

Zhao Xie smiled faintly and said with great grace that

“King Han need not worry, we are all innocent now,”

“What is wrong with going out to see your own stately home?”

“Besides, I have a new plough that I got from a farmer’s house, and it ploughs very fast, wouldn’t you like to see it?”

Han Cheng hesitated a little and said.

“Then we will leave the city tomorrow.”

Inside the barracks, Zhao Lang was somewhat bored as he stared at the others training.

An order-bearer suddenly ran in hurriedly, and Zhao Long got up to receive the order when he heard the other party say that

“General Zhao, military order: order Zhao Long, a thousand-strong general, to preach the decree for the Great Qin, together with the officials, from tomorrow!”

“Return to camp within three days!”

Hearing these words, Zhao Lang’s eyes snapped open and he exclaimed that

“The last general has the order!”

Receiving the military order, Zhao Lang quickly revealed a smile that

This was the same as saying that he had three days of free time!

Moreover, this place where the decree was proclaimed would allow him to choose!

Tsk, Pops was right after all.

The First Emperor had originally planned everything!

Zhao Lang thought with a few moments of admiration.

But in that case, he would have to hurry up.

While it was still dark, Zhao Lang drew a simple, curved plough-like pattern outside the manor he had settled into.

Then he told the others to go and rest while he took up the night watch.

In the evening, with a frog call sounded.

Zhao Lang quickly walked over with the sound of the frog chirping and saw a familiar figure of

“Chen Sheng!”

The person who came was none other than Chen Sheng, the

“Chief, this is a list of the powerful people who have been bullying the farmers in Nanyang County.”

“Among them, the most deceitful one is this one Zhao Zhuang.”
