Chapter 160 The Unexpected Joiner
have to! have to! have to!
A few days later, at the west gate of Xinzheng City.
Two convoys, which could be said to be completely different, stopped outside the west gate.
In one of them, nearly a hundred carriages were filled with heavy bamboo and wooden slips, various metals with inscriptions on them, and even dried bones and tortoise shells. Although there were Qin guards in iron armor on the front, back, left and right of the carriages, judging by the wisps of white light, there were only about five or six hundred Qin soldiers, which was a little less than the number of these carriages.
The other team only had four or five black-covered carriages, with a frame on the top of the carriages to block the invasion of wind and rain. After lifting the curtain of the carriage, you can see that there are many thread-bound books inside that still exude the fragrance of ink. Although the Qin army guarding this team is only about 200, they are full of murderous intent.
"Hahaha."
Tianxuan wore a warm bearskin coat, a light and plain gray-white Taoist robe, and rode Huoyun, the horse king he tamed and said to come from the grasslands outside the Great Wall. Comparing his own team with the Yin-Yang family's, Tianxuan knew that the Yin-Yang family's horses were more valuable, but he couldn't help laughing because of the funny scene in front of him.
The endless laughter, filled with mockery, fell into the ears of the Yin-Yang School group who were riding side by side with Tianxuan, but were actually very different from them. Everyone's cheeks blushed with shame.
"What's so funny?" Yan Fei shouted angrily, "The things we took away would be better than your pile of scraps of paper!"
"That's right." Tian Xuan stopped laughing and did not deny it. "But, don't you think it's a burden to carry so many things on the road?"
The Yin-Yang family, led by Yan Fei, heard what Tian Xuan said, looked back at the nearly one hundred carriages, and nodded in unison. If it weren't for the legacy of the predecessors, there might be some wise ideas left, and most of these things have gone through hundreds of years. Would the Yin-Yang family be willing to take so many things on the road?
"Don't talk nonsense," Moon Goddess said nonchalantly, "Everything is packed, we should be on the road."
The 3,000 cavalrymen that Tianxuan brought back from Yandi were kept by Han Fei and became the county soldiers of Yingchuan County to shock the people of Yingchuan County who still had undercurrents after the war. With Tianxuan's current identity and status, it was impossible for him to raise private soldiers. Therefore, when they returned to Guanzhong, they were accompanied by only a few hundred soldiers temporarily dispatched by Han Fei.
Because Mount Zhongnan is not far from Xianyang, the people of the Yin-Yang School decided to travel with Tianxuan and separate after they arrived near Mount Zhongnan.
Tianxuan had no objection to this.
"Ah."
Hearing what the Moon Goddess said, Tianxuan nodded slightly, and was about to shake the reins in his hand, drive Huoyun and set off, rushing back to Zhongnan Mountain as soon as possible, to return to his long-lost mentor Bei Mingzi, and fulfill his filial piety as a disciple.
"and many more!"
"General Tian, wait a minute."
……
Suddenly, from the city behind Tianxuan and the others, there came a hurried shout. Amid the shouts, dozens of riders came galloping over, raising a cloud of dust at the dawn of the white sun.
Tianxuan and others looked back and saw the newly appointed Yingchuan County Magistrate Han Fei, Nanyang County Magistrate Li Kai, together with Zi Nu, Nong Yu, and some guards running towards them.
Call!
After a dozen riders arrived at the side of the convoy, they all pulled the reins together, causing the horses, which were originally running, to stop. Amid the crisp and chaotic sound of horse hooves, Han Fei and the others came in front of Tianxuan and the four girls of the Yin-Yang family.
"Tian Xuanzi, if I remember correctly, I have already surrendered to you?"
As she stepped forward, Zi Nu blinked her beautiful eyes as clear as jade and spoke to Tian Xuan in a tone that was not without resentment.
"Now, you want to leave without even telling me?"
At the end of the conversation, Zi Nu bit her pink lips with her jade-like teeth, like a lovelorn woman who had been betrayed. Even though Yan Fei and Yue Shen knew that Zi Nu's behavior was just a pretense, they still felt jealous and their sharp eyes fell on Tian Xuan mercilessly.
"Since you want to follow, then follow!"
Initially, Tianxuan thought that Zi Nu's so-called surrender to him was purely a temporary measure, or even a joke. However, today, he did not inform her, but Zi Nu came to him on her own, which made Tianxuan suspicious: [Could it be that I have some cuckold spirit that I don't even know about? ]
Although he was puzzled, Tianxuan countered the move and accepted it.
"Sister Zi Nu!"
Yan Fei spoke, her pair of beautiful eyes like sapphires swept up and down at Zi Nu's beautiful body wrapped in the purple clothes, which made Zi Nu feel very uncomfortable.
"You have good qualifications. Are you interested in joining my Yin Yang family?"
Although it was not the first time Yan Fei had seen Zi Nu, it was the first time that she was so close to her. She was surprised to find that Zi Nu's meridians were connected and she was full of inspiration. In a flash, she changed her mentality from a jealous little woman to the heir of Yin Yang Family, and wanted to recruit Zi Nu to join Yin Yang Family.
"As long as you are willing to join my Yin-Yang family, I believe that His Excellency Donghuang will not mind adding another position!"
Upon hearing this, Zi Nu's thin and rosy lips slightly opened, and she laughed joyfully like a silver bell, "Thank you for your kindness, sister, but I am used to being free and don't want to be restricted!"
"Sister Zi Nu, if you don't want to deal with worldly affairs, my Yin Yang family also has some idle positions that don't involve doing business." The Moon Goddess spoke up for her sister.
"Ahem," Tianxuan could not stand seeing Yan Fei and Yue Shen trying to poach people right under his nose, even though he was wary of Zi Nu's surrender. He glared at Yan Fei and Yue Shen with dissatisfaction while coughing dryly. "Two beauties, Zi Nu seems to be my person. Don't you think it's too much to recruit my people right under my nose?"
Hearing Tianxuan's words, Yanfei and Yueshen couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and their beautiful cheeks flushed abnormally.
"General Tian."
After this little episode, Li Kai, who came with his daughter Nong Yu, spoke.
"My daughter and Miss Zi Nu have a deep sisterly bond. We haven't seen each other for many years and are very reluctant to part. I would like to travel with you, General Tian, for a while. What do you think?"
While saying this, Li Kai secretly cast a helpless look at his beloved daughter, Nongyu. Obviously, letting his daughter leave him was not Li Kai's own decision, but Nongyu's insistence.
“General Tian, please.” As soon as Li Kai finished speaking, a pitiful look appeared on Nong Yu’s face, and she used her long-lost method of acting like a spoiled child. “I really can’t bear to leave Sister Zi Nu!”
puff!
A mature and beautiful lady, like an orchid in a valley, was flirting with a boy of eleven or twelve. This scene was not only awkward but also eye-catching. In the eyes of others, Han Fei, who was naturally free and easy, couldn't help but burst out laughing. His thin and tall body swayed on the horse's back, and he seemed to be about to fall off the horse.
"It's up to you!" Tianxuan said helplessly.
"Lord Han Fei, there are some things you must be careful about! Even if it is bound to be leaked sooner or later, it will be a blessing for our Great Qin if it is leaked later!" Tianxuan fixed his scorching eyes on Han Fei and spoke earnestly.
"Don't worry, General Tian. I understand!" Han Fei heard the words, and the unruly look on his face disappeared, and he responded in a deep voice.
