In a restaurant, the storyteller walked with great tranquility.
……
At the end of the day, this matter is also unjust.
How unlucky can it get, telling a story right in front of the main character?
The storyteller, who is indeed responsible for telling stories in the soup shop, was brought by the old Chu aristocrat Huahandou:
The knife coin was the currency of the old Chu state. Although the Qin dynasty promoted the circular square hole half-weight coins, the old Chu nobility preferred this coin.
He just spreads rumors, earns money, and seeks to make a living.
Qin Wang makes the Zhaoci lineage feudal in the old Chu region, letting the Chu aristocracy always harbor resentment towards Zhaoci, so it is normal behavior for them to fiercely attack Zhaoci.
Cannot allow the locals to change their customs and habits!
He never thought that –
He really thought that Zhaoci was just a fictional character created by King Qin.
To his surprise, Zhaoci actually appeared here.
Moreover, looking at the relationship between Zhaoci and Qin Shi Huang, it seems like Zhaoci was the one in control.
Could it be that Zhaoci was actually the teacher of Qin Shi Huang?
Or perhaps, as Qin Shi Huang was young, it was this Zhaoci who actually controlled the vast empire of the Qin Dynasty?
...
Han Xin and Xiang Yu were chatting happily at the time. I wanted to ask them about the opinion of their big brother who was familiar with each other.
They saw that the big brother was also watching the Qin King's honor guard, with an envious expression on his face.
And then Qin Shi Huang came.
He alighted from his chariot, raised his voice and shouted:
"Mr. Zhaoci, is that you?"
"Are you there?"
"Change is constant?"
The two of them had originally intended to make fun of each other with their eyes, but then they realized something was off.
Because they saw...
The mother of Zhao Pei An stood up?
"Here, Your Majesty."
"Shall we go?"
"Use symbols to indicate quadrants."
Suddenly, it scared a time traveler to death.
The people in the soup shop immediately became silent.
Han Xin and Xiang Yu exchanged glances and looked at each other. They both sucked in a cold breath:
This person is actually Zhaoci?
That means, in front of the Zhaoci person, on the ancestral land of the Zhaoci family, we have defamed the Zhaoci person who is about to meet the Qin King?
Okay, at this point, committing suicide seems to be the best choice.
Han Xin and Xiang Yu exchanged glances again, their eyes filled with stormy waves, as if to say:
"Is this Zhaoci? You said he was a fictional character, didn't you?"
"I have no idea. Isn't that what everyone says?"
"No, it looks like Qin Shi Huang actually respects Zhaoci quite a bit. Could it be that they really are teacher-student relations?"
More or less, that's the idea.
When Qin Shi Huang saw Zhao Pei An, his eyes were filled with astonishment:
"Mr. Zhaoci?"
"I had never expected you to be so good at cultivating one's qi. Your current appearance looks like you're in your prime."
"No, I really just reached… Well, that's right. This is a common method of cultivating qi in our school, which can keep our youthful appearance to the fullest."
Zhao Pei An had wanted to say "I am indeed just coming of age," but then thought better of it, as he realized that if he said that to Qin Shi Huang, the king might start thinking about his elixir of immortality again.
It's better not to say it.
If it doesn't work in the future, it's done.
Qin Shi Huang's eyes flickered with a hint of longing as he said:
"Mr. Zhaoci, let's go then?"
"I didn't tell the Prime Minister about your arrival, and if he finds out, he'll be very pleased."
Zhao Pei An shook his head. In the eyes of the people in the soup shop, it was as if King Yama was smiling.
"There are two people in this restaurant who I'm having a great time chatting with. I think they could be good candidates for my school, please Your Majesty, may I invite them?"
Han Xin and Xiang Yu exchanged glances, and their eyes were filled with some shock:
We've said so many bad things about him, and yet he invites us to go with him?
However, the two young men in their twenties would never feel inferior.
It must be their insight that has allowed Zhaoci to appreciate them so much that they could even be selected as his successor!
As Zhao Pei An, the malevolent spirit, was finally about to leave, the people in the soup shop heaved a sigh of relief:
Fortunately, at last we've sent him away.
No law can hold everyone accountable!
Just as Zhao Pei An was about to board the carriage, he said again:
"Oh, Your Majesty, there are a few more over there. Please take care of them together."
"I saw them just now. There are Chu coins in their clothes."
Qin Shi Huang's expression immediately turned cold:
"This is my vast Qin empire, and yet there are still people holding Chu coins?"
"Could it be that these so-called remnants of Chu are still unsatisfied and want to rebel?"
"Take them out and behead them!"
Soon, the loudest of the few were taken away and killed.
Han Xin and Xiang Yu both looked relieved with a "phew, phew" expression.
...
Qin Shi Huang's words today were not many.
Zhao Pei An simply asked Qin Shi Huang about the tribal gathering of the Zhaoci lineage.
"I would also like to ask Your Majesty, what kind of procedure should the tribal gathering of the Zhaoci lineage follow?"
Qin Shi Huang shook his head and said, "Actually, I had originally notified the people below to prepare for a ceremony to worship our ancestors."
"If I were to take Mr. Zhaoci with me to see them, I'm afraid it would cause panic."
Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhao Pei An's face and helplessly smiled.
Zhao Pei An's face looked like he was really in his twenties, with smooth and delicate skin and a well-built physique, indicating that he was a young person with abundant energy. One night, he could potentially have sex with thirty people.
Compared to Qin Shi Huang, who had turned grey at a young age due to hard work, Zhao Pei An was the complete opposite.
"The next step will be for me to meet with Li Si, and then we will have a meeting within the Zhaoci lineage's family assembly."
"When that time comes, Mr. Zhaoci can make an appearance then."
"As for how to prove who you are, merely my explanation may not be enough. It might require Mr. Zhaoci to... "
The great Zhaoci Mr. Zhao Pei An waved his hand:
"Alright, that's not a problem."
Before coming, he had prepared for this situation, researching a lot of early antibacterial medicine information, and comparing it with the Chinese antibacterial medicine developed in the pre-Qin period based on that package of antibacterial medicine.
Absolutely on point.
...
In the rear carriage.
Han Xin and Xiang Yu were sitting opposite each other, looking a bit uncomfortable.
Both of them were a bit embarrassed:
They were classic men who were brothers in spirit, having come together to make a living, but it was only just then that they had learned each other's names...
At this moment, the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit awkward.
Han Xin was sitting with a relaxed and unrestrained posture, which was a characteristic trait of his:
Easygoing, he had not put up much resistance just now. After all, there was no way to escape.
Such is life.
Xiang Yu, on the other hand, maintained a calm and indifferent expression.
Xiang Yu was originally from a noble family of Chu, but after the kingdom of Chu was destroyed by Qin Shi Huang, he had become what he is now.
He had been through quite a few battles before this.
Although they had some differences, they still shared some similarities:
They had never been under anyone else's roof.
It seems that the atmosphere was really awkward, so Xiang Yu broke the silence by asking Liu Bang:
"Brother, we've known each other for two days now, and we haven't really talked about our backgrounds."
"What did you do before?"
He gathered his thoughts, chose his words carefully, and then spoke:
"Have you ever eaten human flesh?"
