Chapter 10 The troubled son(1/2)

Zhuang Xia walked slowly step by step, calm and quiet, without fear of more than ten people holding sharp blades.

"Which master is joking with us, why don't you show up in person and let a child come and tease us?

Today's matter involves the palace. I hope you don't get involved and cause trouble. If so, I should thank you."

The leader of the Heizi people whispered to Zhuang Xia behind him, saying, "He doesn't think what happened just now was done by this child, and I believe there must be someone behind him."

However, even if Zhuang Xia was the only one in front of them, they were still as if they were facing a great enemy, worried that the strong enemy would appear.

The young man in white who was surrounded and killed was overjoyed. The opportunity to be saved was right in front of him. If he didn't seize it, he would be dead.

"I am the eldest son of the king of Chen State. Now the prince is attacked and killed by thieves. If I can save me, I will be rewarded and will never go back on my word."

Zhuang Xia must have known what happened. It was probably another political infighting. It was not a farce of the throne fight, or a brother's fight or a rebellion.

"No need to look at me. There is no one behind me. I was the one who took action just now. Why do you look down on the child?"

Zhuang Xia spoke, speaking slowly, and her tone was not as good as a little baby.

However, even though he said so, no one believed it. The man in black believed that in this situation, he should take the initiative first, kill Mr. Ye Ming first, and then take the child as a hostage.

There is a jungle more than ten meters away. Even if a Tibetan is a Tibetan, he will definitely not be as quick as he does.

"You guys catch that child."

With his order, many subordinates immediately divided three or four people to rush towards Zhuang Xia, and he pulled out the short knife from his waist and wanted to kill the prince of Chen without mercy.

Zhuang Xia smiled. He didn't know how many gangsters had beaten. He was beaten by him and he hid away when he saw him. Now he has ten times more powerful, and this is even more a small scene.

As soon as he tried hard, he stepped on a footprint that was nearly an inch, and in an instant he appeared in front of the man in black.

Before the leader of the man in black could react, the short knife in his hand had fallen on the child's hand.

In a trance, he seemed to see the strange child in front of him smiled slightly, then he bowed and flew seven or eight meters away, landed on the ground with a bang, and raised dust and flew away.

This! This! How is this possible? How could someone be so fast? Is this doll a human or a ghost? He is so powerful that he is no match at all.

A mouthful of blood was protruding, and the leader of the man in black endured the severe pain and said, "Retreat!"

Many men in black who had not recovered from the daze heard the instructions and walked in a hurry without hesitation, carrying the leader of the man in black.

Zhuang Xia watched them leave without saying a word, let alone stop him.

In shock, Young Master Ye Ming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

It was already a great kindness to save his life in the child in front of him, and there was no reason to kill them for nothing and cause trouble for him.

If Zhuang Xia knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say that he was thinking too much, and he just had never killed anyone.

What's more, he wouldn't have just met and saw this man being surrounded and killed, so he naively decided who was right and who was wrong, and took the initiative to stand in this man's camp and work hard to kill him.

"I remember you said you wanted to repay me? I happened to be here, and I was arranged by you for my food, clothing, housing and transportation. Are there any problems?"

Zhuang Xia had no idea of ​​giving kindness but not seeking repaid, and he was not embarrassed about what he said. He saved his life and looked like he was not short of money or connections. This matter was nothing to him.

A sudden siege came, and the shocked Young Master Ye Ming was about to die, but he was saved by a strange child. In a short time, life and death were a little easier, like a roller coaster, and he has not recovered yet.

But as the prince, he experienced a lot and calmed down soon.

"Naturally, naturally, I keep my word and treat my benefactor with courtesy."

Young Master Ye Ming, who had recovered from his senses, bowed and said to Zhuang Xia.

"Thank you for helping me today, my little brother, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have already entered the ghost."

His words had a certain temperament and thoughtful manners, which made Zhuang Xia please him a little.

"Don't thank me anymore. If you don't save the man on the ground, he will be dying."

As he said that, he pointed to the escort commander who had bowed to protect the Lord.

Sure enough, when he thought about it, he hurried over to help, and for a while, and simply treated the wound. The man was a little conscious and remembered the personal treatment of Mr. Ye Ming.

This man has been practicing martial arts for many years and is very strong. Zhuang Xia’s opinion is that his qi and blood are quite stable and he probably won’t die.

The two of them jointly carried the wounded onto the carriage. Zhuang Xia frowned and looked at the more than thirty corpses on the ground. He stopped hesitating and left immediately after whipping the whip.

After notifying the government, let them deal with it.

Sitting in the shaking carriage, the green shade beside me retreated little by little, the wind and clouds were high, the birds spread their wings and flew freely.

Where is my family in the world? If relatives are gone, the world is my family.

The man in black on the other side, the leader and his subordinates, walked to the place where the horses were hidden, and then stopped to make some trimming.

"Why did such a terrible strong man appear halfway through the road? What's even more strange is that such a young child has such a strong combat power, which is really incredible.

As soon as I met him, he was hit by him for more than ten meters away. He could only defend slightly. Fortunately, I had to resist with all my strength, otherwise I would have been extremely moved.

If we hadn't walked fast, we might have been wiped out.

This person is invincible, we don’t have to make unnecessary sacrifices, we will be smart next time."

He spoke, and then several confidants agreed.

"What the adults said is that if it weren't for the decisive decision, we would have been dead. That man's force would have been terrible. Today, the adults saved our lives, and we were so grateful."

The man in black smiled, very satisfied with his subordinate's cleverness and sensibility. However, he didn't expect that he would get involved in the wound and he was so painful that he kept pumping the air conditioner.

"Walk!"

More than a dozen people rode horses and hurried along the path to the small town ahead. They naturally would not give up if they failed this trip.

Riding on a fast horse, the leader in black coughed up blood from time to time, and was even more afraid of Zhuang Xia's skills and could not resist, but he had the mission and could not give up.

Due to the wounded, Zhuang Xia did not drive the carriage quickly, and the carriage could not get fast, otherwise he would have been scattered and he would have suffered.

"I heard you are the prince of Chen State? Since you are the prince, why don't you stay in the capital and run around?"

Zhuang Xia dusted his whip and urged several horses to drag the carriage one after another, and said to Young Master Ye Ming.

Young Master Ye Ming looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is quite aristocratic. It seems that the royal education since childhood has given him quite good qualities.

However, when he heard this, his face slightly cleared: "Chen State is weak, and his father has no choice but to send me to Zhao State as a hostage, and he has not returned for three years. Now his father is seriously ill and the relationship between the two countries has eased, so I rushed back, but for some reason no one greeted me, and even encountered attacks from thieves, which has fallen to this day."

"So miserable?"

Zhuang Xia smacked her lips, but she didn't expect that she would encounter such an unlucky prince by accident. She finally returned to China and was so unpopular, so she insisted on killing him.

The other party smiled bitterly. Even such a child knew that he was unlucky, and his depression was imaginable.

"I don't know where the little brother came from and where he was going?"

The child who saved me looked only one year old, looked cute and elegant, but his force was amazing, and his behavior was the same as that of an adult. I really don’t know if he was rejuvenation or premature wise and mature.

"Come from wherever you come, go back."

The other party asked him in a whispery way, and Zhuang Xia also replied to him like this.

Sure enough, Ye Ming heard it, just like listening to a riddle, and didn't know what angle to understand it.

"Also, don't call me the little brother, my name is Zhuang Xia, you can call me Mr."

Zhuang Xia has already made people call him Mr. He has become a bit shameless. In this era, only those who are knowledgeable, teachers or elders are called Mr. He.

"Then what if I call Little Brother and Mr. Little Brother? Little Brother is as skilled as a god. I don't know where the teacher is. I admire him very much."

"You will never see you in your life, and it's useless to say it. You are the prince of Chen and your knowledge will not be too bad. Tell me about the specific situation of Chen State? For example, the population, where is it located, and the size of the land."

These problems are not clear to those who are knowledgeable. For example, ordinary farmers in this era, from birth to death for decades, if they did not join the army, their range of activities would basically not exceed a radius of hundreds of miles.

He knows which country he is from and where he is from, but if you ask him how old Chen State is, how far away from the sea, and wherever he is from all over the world, he will have to catch him blindly.

"The State of Chen is still strong, and it runs thousands of miles from east to west, eight hundred miles from north to south, and is strong Zhao from north to north, compared to Chu from south, Wu and Yue from west, and sea from east. The population is 1.5 million, although it is not as large as the State of Zhao from four million, it is also the highest level among the countries."

"So a few people? Then the countries here have a population of up to 20,000 people, which is too small, right? Look at you like this, you fight every day, and you have nothing to do, so why bother with nothing to do!"

With a population of more than 20 million, it sounds quite large, but it is only half of the population of a province in the 21st century, which is really not enough to see.

However, Zhuang Xia just complained. He knew very well that the productivity of this era was low, there were many wars, and the medical care was even worse. With these populations, it was achieved through thousands of years of accumulation.

"No one in all countries wants to fight, but the interests of each country are different, and the strengths are even more different, and wars are inevitable. People's hearts are unpredictable and desires are unfulfilled."

Ye Mingxin sighed.

"You prince can still think of this, but you probably just say that if you become the king, Chen State will still not avoid war. This is the mission of this era. If there is no unity, war will not stop."

However, Ye Ming did not agree with Zhuang Xia's words.

"If I am a king, I must work hard to govern, work diligently for the people, serve the country from above and the people from below, reduce the war, and make the country rich and strong."

He was full of confidence, as if he had governed the country and had everything at will, it would not be difficult at all.

There were some things he didn't say. In his grand ambition, destroying the countries and achieving unification was his ultimate goal. However, he also knew that this seemed very difficult. He probably, perhaps, might not be able to achieve it, so he would be embarrassed not to say it.

"It's good that you have the motivation, but things are never said. Let's talk about them after you do it. Maybe I can see and witness a piece of history."

Zhuang Xia did not mock him. It is good for young people to have dreams, and they should support them if they are willing to work hard, although most dreams have become shattered.

Along the way, Zhuang Xia, who was speaking plain language, talked a lot with Ye Ming, who was half-literate and half-white. Of course, it was mainly because he was asking and the other party answered.

When he arrived at the small town, Zhuang Xia also had a lot of macro-understanding of this era.

Just like the situation in the middle of the Warring States Period, these countries already had the idea of ​​annexing other countries or even unifying them. However, all parties restrained them and moved their whole body, and the road to annexing was slow.
