Chapter 333 Finding Han Xin
???
Xiang Yu's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could the King of Qin tolerate such a thing?"
Is it unbearable to come to seek out a great talent? Fusu was puzzled. "Perhaps it is because my father is tolerant?"
The extremely cruel King Qin who destroyed cities and plundered lands was tolerant. Was he crazy, or was it the little crown prince who was crazy?
Xiang Yu felt that he shouldn't be here, but should go back to the carriage and calm down.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to have underestimated the Queen Mother of Qin. Not only was she skilled in martial arts, but more importantly, she was really brave. She dared to do such a thing and even dared to let the King of Qin know.
Thinking that the King of Qin was completely controlled by such a woman, he felt that his defeat at her hands was not something so difficult to accept.
Not finding anyone here, Zhao Yuanxi could only return to Huaiyin County as planned.
When she walked up to Xiang Yu, she saw him looking at her with a strange look in his eyes. "What's wrong? Are you possessed?"
"You're the one who's been possessed!" Xiang Yu became furious, but then calmed down. He looked Zhao Yuanxi up and down, as if wanting to know what she was capable of. "Is the King of Qin afraid of you?"
This sudden question made Zhao Yuanxi stunned. Would Ying Zheng be afraid of him? That was definitely impossible!
"I am his mother, so naturally he respects me." Zhao Yuanxi gave a more appropriate answer.
"I don't believe it! You're all in cahoots with him, you'll definitely speak up for him!"
Zhao Yuanxi asked Fusu beside him, "What did you say to him? Why does he look so weird?"
Fusu looked innocent, "I didn't say anything to him! Maybe he was tied up for too long and he's a little confused."
Both of them thought that Xiang Yu was probably crazy.
This made Xiang Yu extremely angry. He shouted, "How dare you brazenly bring back your illegitimate son who was raised outside? And you still dare to say that the King of Qin is not afraid of you?"
Zhao Yuanxi felt like there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he hear such a horrifying argument.
Not only her, but also the Qin soldiers next to her widened their eyes, and the shackles on Xiang Liang's hands and feet in the carriage also made a sound.
Zhao Yuanxi was so angry that he pinched Xiang Yu's ear, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"If you dare not admit it, what kind of hero are you! If he is not your illegitimate child, why would you come here and go to so much trouble to find him?" Xiang Yu was forced to tilt his head and bared his teeth.
This made Zhao Yuanxi laugh out loud. She finally understood what it meant to be unable to clear one's name, even if one jumped into the Yellow River. "Come here, lock him up. Don't let him out without my order. Put heavy shackles on him, and add another set!"
"You got what I said, you're so angry!"
Zhao Yuanxi sneered, "Why don't you do it?"
The Qin soldiers nearby stepped forward tremblingly, quickly covered Xiang Yu's mouth, and regardless of his struggle, quickly locked him up.
Fusu and Ziying were also shocked, especially Fusu. He didn't expect Xiang Yu to dare to say such a thing. Thinking of the question he asked himself, he couldn't help but pinch his face. He really dared to think so! If the emperor knew, he would definitely chop him off!
The small disturbance died down, but the news that the army was looking for the empress dowager's son began to spread inexplicably.
After Zhao Yuanxi heard about it, he gave the culprit a severe lesson.
The group stayed in Huaiyin for three days and finally found out the news about Han Xin.
Zhao Yuanxi had originally planned to come and pick the person up in person, but after hearing this commotion, he had no choice but to send someone to bring the person over.
Han Xin had a meal at the home of a village headman a few days ago, but the wife of the village headman deliberately avoided the time when he came and finished the meal in advance. Han Xin knew that the wife of the village headman did not like him, so he had to leave.
He was young and could not find any suitable work, so he chose to fish by the Huai River to fill his stomach. However, he was not good at fishing and had no catch for two days. Fortunately, his wife, who had just washed clothes, gave him some food to fill his stomach.
The rice was mixed with chaff, not a good thing, but this meal was the best Han Xin had eaten in recent days. "Auntie, I will definitely repay you one day."
The old lady scolded him, "What are you talking about? I gave you food because I felt sorry for you and didn't expect anything in return."
After the old lady left, Han Xin continued to sit by the water, quietly wiping his tears. Suddenly he heard footsteps around him. He stood up and saw a group of Qin soldiers surrounding him.
Han Xin looked alert, "What are you doing?"
The Qin soldiers looked at him curiously, their hearts filled with doubt. They had naturally heard the rumor, and looking at the child's appearance, they felt that his eyebrows and eyes did resemble the queen mother. So when they spoke to him, they were also somewhat respectful, "Are you Han Xin?"
"I'm not." Han Xin denied it decisively. Could it be that his identity as an old noble of the Six Kingdoms was known to others, and the emperor sent people to liquidate him? But he was an old noble whose family had fallen on hard times more than ten years ago, so why would he need to mobilize such a large force?
"Whether it is or not, please come with us."
Han Xin had no chance to escape and could only follow the Qin soldiers to the county government office. Along the way, he tried to find out the purpose of these Qin soldiers, but still got nothing. The only thing he knew was that this group of people did not seem to be hostile to him, at least they were not here to take his life.
Zhao Yuanxi was waiting for him in the county government office. When Han Xin came in, he saw a noble lady drinking tea, surrounded by a group of half-grown children. One of them was wearing two pairs of shackles. The moment he saw him, he glared at him fiercely.
Did he offend him?
Zhao Yuanxi looked at the thin young man in front of her. She had heard that Han Xin had a very hard life, but when she saw the thin young man in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh.
Xiang Yu snorted secretly. Even if his uncle said he guessed wrong, he still firmly believed that this man was the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother of Qin. Look at that look, she had never looked at him like this before. If he was not her own child, how could she love him so much?
Han Xin walked forward nervously, not knowing how to address the person in front of him.
Someone reminded him, "Why don't you pay your respects to the Queen Mother, the Crown Prince, and Young Master Ziying?"
Han Xin was stunned for a moment and looked at the person who was talking to him, making sure that he was not joking with him.
Zhao Yuanxi waved his hand, "No need to be so polite. Are you Han Xin?"
"I am Han Xin." Han Xin gritted his teeth and admitted his identity.
Zhao Yuanxi said softly, "Don't be afraid. If you're willing to come with me, I can feed you and give you the opportunity to display your talents."
"I'm willing!" Han Xin agreed almost without hesitation. After all, he had nothing left and only had his life, so he was not afraid of losing anything else.
With his words, the last line of Zhao Yuanxi's task bar was finally filled.
