Through Time Chapter 445

I don’t know what the meaning is between Ji Wushuang and Ying Yin Man.

At this time, Zhao Lang had already led his men to the city walls of the county, and it was clear to see that many folk were fortifying the city’s defences with sadness and misery.

At this time of year, they should be working in the fields instead of serving here.

Chen Sheng looked at Zhao Lang, who was staying here, and wondered

“Chief, where are we going?”

Zhao Lang looked at the peasants on the city walls and said in reply that

“Chen Sheng, are there any of our men among these folk?”

Chen Sheng said with utmost certainty that

“Of course there are, our men this time are drawn from among the folk.”

Zhao Lang nodded and asked, again

“Do you think it’s appropriate to serve in the labour force now?”

Chen Sheng was a little confused by Zhao Lang’s jumpy question and said back.

“Chief, of course it is not appropriate, the peasants have a lot of grievances, yet they dare not resist.”

Zhao Lang laughed at once and said.

“You go and organise a group of men now and prepare to carry things at night.”

“And clear a section of the wall out and put ropes on both sides.”

Zhao Lang quickly instructed.

Chen Sheng also slowly understood Zhao Lang’s meaning and said, with an odd expression on his face.

“Chief, you are going to steal… Ahem hmm, to recover losses for the farmers?”

“But haven’t you already asked Han Wangxin to take the money?”

Zhao Lang returned, blandly

“Those are only what Han Wangcheng deserves, what I am going to get now is the compensation for the farmers.”

He had just seen the arrangement of the other party’s treasure trove, and he felt sorry for the other party if he didn’t go to carry it.

Hearing this, Chen Sheng naturally had no more doubts, having seen so much suffering inside Yun Meng Ze, he had long looked at these nobles with displeasure.

“Chief, I will go and make the arrangements now.”

Soon after, Chen Sheng left the place.

Zhao Lang also went back inside the county once again.

Soon, night fell and enveloped the land.

Following the pattern of sunrise and sunset, the night sky seemed extremely quiet and peaceful.

Only from time to time did figures flash through the night, adding a little liveliness to the night.

If you look closely, you will see that they are hard-working figures.

Inside Han Wangxin’s residence, a black shadow was extremely agile in transporting out the most valuable possessions, ant-like.

The men outside took over and then made their way to a section of the city wall that was still being repaired and reinforced.

There were ropes on both sides of the wall.

One side goes up and the other side goes down, working together seamlessly.

A hard-working man is always to be respected.

Of course hard work naturally pays off, and looking at the smile on the face of the man leading the group, it was clear that the evening had been extremely rewarding.

Soon, the group disappeared into the night.

All things, however, follow the great path of heaven and earth, where there is gain and loss.

By early morning, a wretched scream rang out from Han Wangxin’s mansion and

“General Xiang! The king’s treasury is almost emptied what can be done!”

At this time Han Wang Xin screamed miserably and went to Xiang Liang’s body, he couldn’t help but be in a hurry, the guards came to report this morning.

Except for some bulky belongings, everything else had disappeared!

The only clue was that there was an opening in the roof of the house.

Xiang Liang looked at the treasure trove which was almost half missing again, and then at the marks on the roof.

He felt the familiarity, just short of leaving the word Zhao, and coldly eyed

“Zhao Lang!”

Han Wangxin froze for a moment and reacted as well, gritting his teeth and saying

“The King of Zhao has also gone too far!”

He now finally understood what Zhao Lang’s compensation meant.

Xiang Liang quickly said that

“Bring the men, let’s go to King Zhao!”

King Han hesitated for a moment and frowned, saying

“General Xiang, we don’t have any evidence.”

Xiang Liang said, in an extremely domineering manner.

“What proof does this General want?!”

Soon, the party sped off towards the outskirts of the city.

When they arrived at the front of the stately home, they saw Zhao Lang practising, an ordinary lance in his extremely fierce hands.

Seeing Xiang Liang and the others, the lance in Zhao Lang’s hand shook and flew towards several people, then landed precisely in front of them, stopping their advance.

The two sides then stood opposite each other with the spear as their boundary.

Xiang Liang halted his horse and went straight to the point, saying in a cold voice.

“King of Zhao, why did you steal Han Wangxin’s treasure trove!

Hearing these words, Zhao Lang frowned and said back.

“What does General Xiang mean by this? Although we have equally shared Han Wang Xin’s treasure trove, where is the theft?”

Xiang Liang shook his head slightly and replied back that

“King Zhao does not need to cover up, last night Han Wang Xin’s treasure trove was stolen.”

“The only one who has the manpower and ability to do so here today is you, King of Zhao!”

“If you don’t tell us clearly today, don’t blame me for tearing my face off!”

Hearing these words, Zhao Lang was not the least bit vain and said that

“General Xiang said that my king stole Han Wangxin’s treasure trove, dare I ask if there is any proof?”

Xiang Liang frowned, he vaguely felt that there was something familiar about these words, but still returned, and

“No.”

Zhao Lang gave a laugh at once and returned that

“You can’t just bite the bullet and assume it’s my king based on mere guesses.”

“This is it, without proof, it is better for General Xiang to say less.”

“General Xiang is already old, talking nonsense, there is no reason to lower your prestige.”

“These words are golden words that General Xiang has told this king.”

Xiang Liang had already reacted by this time, he knew that yesterday Zhao Lang deliberately showed weakness just for today!

His face instantly turned iron blue and

“King Zhao, have you stolen any belongings, we will know once we search.”

Zhao Lang had a smile on his face at this time and said that

“Then I wonder when General Xiang will let my king search the merchants’ belongings?”

Hearing these words, Xiang Liang knew that Zhao Lang was clearly taking revenge!

Unless he wanted to go to war with the other side now, he would have to give up.

Looking at the heavily guarded Zhuangzi long ago, Xiang Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and said that

“What King Zhao said is true, it is my general who has interrupted.”

Then he turned his horse around extremely dryly and prepared to leave with his men, but those around him knew it.

His own general, had risen to kill!

Han Wangxin, however, was bewildered; he had followed Xiang Liang in his haste to come, and now he was inexplicably leaving.

His money was still missing.

“General Xiang, we’re just going to leave?”

Xiang Liang said indifferently, the

“No evidence, or do you want to go and break into the King of Zhao’s stately home?”

Han Wangxin froze for a moment, of course he didn’t dare to break into his opponent’s stately home, and he had already heard of Zhao Lang’s bravery.

Now it was probably only Xiang Yu, who was rumoured to be extremely brave, who could suppress Zhao Lang.

“But, didn’t you say before, General Xiang, that you never speak of evidence in your work?”

Even Xiang Liang couldn’t help but blush when he was hit in the face like this in public.

Han Wangxin was certainly not ignorant of world affairs.

It was just that the loss this time was so heavy that without the money, he really wouldn’t have been able to compete with Han Cheng.

Just then Zhao Lang’s voice came in and

“Han Wangxin need not be anxious, you must remember that General Xiang said that he would give you all your losses.”

“General Xiang is a man of his word, surely he will not go back on his word.”

At once Han Wangxin looked at Xiang Liang.

The corners of Xiang Liang’s mouth twitched, the money he got from Zhao Lang’s merchants was only half of what he could offset Han Wangxin’s loss.

Now with this, he would have to stick another amount in himself.

Just as everyone was watching, Xiang Liang suddenly said, with a black face

“What the King of Zhao said is true, Han Wangxin need not worry.”

“This general will make it up to you himself!”

With that, he clipped the belly of his horse and led his men out of the place.

It could be said that he had made a fool of himself today!

Han Wangxin, on the other hand, gave Zhao Lang a complicated look.

The one who stole his money was Zhao Lang, but if it wasn’t for Zhao Lang, I’m afraid Xiang Liang wouldn’t have compensated him for his money so simply.

For a moment, a trace of gratitude for Zhao Lang actually rose up in his heart.

Across the table, Zhao Lang waved his hand at this time and said with a smile.

“There is no need for Han Wangxin to thank me.”

Han Wangxin blushed to one side, then followed Xiang Liang.

When several people had left, Zhao Lang then returned to the manor.

From now on, the money would be considered free of any after-effects, the

“Ah Long! You’re amazing!”

Just before he entered, Ji Wushuang came over and even put his arms in front of him.

Feeling the other party’s fierceness, Zhao Lang could not stand it slightly.

It was just a little strange for Zhao Lang, Ji Wushuang wasn’t such a clingy little woman either, she usually ate him dry and ran away faster than anyone else.

A proper scum girl.

Of course, when Zhao Lang saw Man and Shang Yan’er on the side, he probably knew what was going on.

It seemed that this kind of action of swearing sovereignty was natural to every girl.

Zhao Long didn’t care either, he didn’t have any thoughts about Man and Shang Yan’er in the first place.

There could be a few more at home.

“King Han, half of this money is yours, and the other half will have to trouble you to pacify the local peasants.”

Zhao Lang quickly said to Han Cheng.

Han Cheng naturally obeyed Zhao Lang’s words, without him, he would have been driven out long ago by now.

“Please rest assured, King Zhao, as long as they are under my king’s rule, all the peasants will definitely be taken care of!”

Said Han Cheng, after a moment’s hesitation, and said

“It is Han Wangxin’s side that I am afraid the king cannot manage.”

Zhao Lang certainly saw that the other party wanted to trip up Han Wangxin, but did not dare to do it too obviously.

Sure enough, these kings of the six kingdoms were not all frugal either.

Even their own factions did not forget to hook up a bit.

How could these people possibly be able to compete with the First Emperor?

Zhao Lang said indifferently.

“King Han just needs to do his own thing.”

Han Cheng instantly nodded his head repeatedly.

After arranging this side, Zhao Lang then said to Ji Wushuang and Chen Sheng that

“How is the situation in Yun Meng Ze?”

He didn’t avoid the others.

Most of the people here knew his double identity by now, too.

Now that the world was in turmoil, it was good to show some strength to reassure his own people.

Otherwise, if he pretended to be a pig for too long, he could easily be taken for one.

“Chief, now that the gathering of people in Yunmengze has passed tens of thousands, the situation is not good.”

Chen Sheng quickly reported back that it was Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who were handling all these internal affairs.

Ji Wushuang’s main duty was to rob the rich to help the poor and provide financial support.

“Chief, we trained some peasants before though, along with the help of Peng Yue.”

“But we only have three thousand peasant soldiers now, and we are not even fully equipped with food.”

“I’m afraid that the fighting strength is not even one tenth of the teenagers on the village, and there are only a few hundred true elites.”

Chen Sheng had spent time on Zhao Lang’s farmhouse and had participated in training himself.

Of course he knew the situation of the peasants in Yun Meng Ze.

The reason he said this was to tell Zhao Lang.

Trying to start a fight in Yun Meng Ze would definitely not work.

Chen Sheng also said no more, he knew Zhao Lang’s nature and would not let the peasants go and die for nothing.

After hearing Chen Sheng’s words, Zhao Lang only nodded blandly.

Seeing this picture, Han Cheng, who was at the side, said, with a few cautious words.

“Is King Zhao troubled by the source of troops? I have a plan for you.”

Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows as he listened, he was indeed a bit troubled, according to his standards.

Even the teenagers on his own estate who resembled professional sergeants were only effective now, barely up to standard.

But he only had the 3,000 elites in his hands.

Indeed, he was short of soldiers.

He just didn’t expect that Han Cheng, who had always been inconspicuous, would have a way to deal with it.

Zhao Lang said quickly at once that

“Please speak, King Han.”

The others also looked over.

The first time he was taken seriously by so many people, Han Cheng couldn’t help but swallow and say that

“King Zhao, you are the head of the farming family and have countless farmers under your command.”

“Since you have three thousand usable soldiers, you can use these three thousand soldiers as the backbone and lead three hundred each, that’s an army of three hundred thousand!”

“As long as these three thousand soldiers don’t die, your army of 300,000 can live on and on! Gradually expand!”

The more Han Cheng spoke, the more excited he became, completely unaware that Zhao Lang’s face was growing darker and darker, and that Chen Sheng was even more fierce with his eyes

“King Zhao, when the time comes, the world will be in your hands!”

Only after he had finished his exuberant speech did he realise that something was wrong with the situation.

The smile on his face stiffened, too.

“King Zhao, but what is wrong with what this king said?”

Zhao Lang said coldly, the

“Using the flesh and blood of the world’s peasants as a military front, this is King Han’s approach?”

Han Cheng froze for a moment and hurriedly explained that

“King Zhao, of course these soldiers of yours are not, but there are countless peasant people in the world, for the sake of the great cause, there is no harm in dying or injuring some.”

“Besides, even if you don’t use them, most other kings will use this method!”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang stopped arguing with the other side, he didn’t think he could change these people’s perceptions.

It was only said indifferently that

“Since this king is the head of the peasants in the world, the peasants in the world are my king’s people.”

“If anyone else dares to take advantage of the peasants in this way, the King will naturally seek to settle accounts with him!”

Zhao Lang’s history was average, but now he finally knew why the entire population of China, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, had actually gone from more than 20 million to only millions.

When one thought of the great wars that followed, all those who died were basically their own peasants, and peasants were the cornerstone of all development!

An extremely tyrannical emotion came over Zhao Lang’s heart.

For the first time, he had a true killing intent towards these legacy tribes of the Six Kingdoms! Even Han Cheng, who was at the side, could not help but shiver.

His identity as the King of Zhao was fake, but this identity as the head of a peasant family was real!

Suddenly, Zhao Lang felt that it was not bad to follow the First Emperor’s plan, when he got rid of these remaining members of the Six Kingdoms.

He would go to the grasslands and hide until the death of Qin Shi Huang.

It would also be an extremely good choice to take over the world of the Great Qin again.

And now, it was time to show the world the power of the peasants first.
