Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 100 The Hu People

The Farmers' Treasure Fair was not held in Xinzheng, but in a small town on the border of Han and Zhao, near the northern grasslands.

This area is a no-man's-land, a melting pot of all sorts of people, and quite chaotic.

The Farmer's School has experienced rapid growth in recent years, boasting a following of 100,000 disciples and wielding influence across the seven kingdoms.

These lawless areas are the places that Jianghu forces like the Farmers prefer, where they can develop freely without being governed.

It must be said that South Korea is rather small and hardly worthy of the title of one of the Seven Warring States.

Ying Jing arrived at the border between Han and Zhao in just one day, from Xinzheng.

Before the Yi Bao Conference began, Ying Jing found a farmhouse inn to stay at and then strolled around the town.

This place no longer belongs to Korea. It is a gathering place for assassins from seven countries, fugitives, and notorious bandits. Occasionally, one can even see Huns with exotic customs...

In such a chaotic area, unless one is attached to a powerful force like a farming family, ordinary people have no room to survive.

a long time.

Ying Jing had already brought Yan Ling Ji to the edge of this town.

Before me lay a desolate expanse of land, stretching as far as the eye could see, with sandstorms sweeping across the sky, creating a somber gray hue.

This place already belongs to the North!

When people think of the North, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the vast grasslands.

But the North has not only grasslands, but also barren plains like this.

"The Xiongnu..."

Ying Jing remained calm, only murmuring softly to himself.

Yan Lingji remained calm. The environment in Baiyue was harsh, but it was nothing to the locals.

dong dong dong...

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Yan Lingji's expression changed slightly, and she instinctively stepped in front of Ying Jing to protect him.

The thunderous sound of hooves continued unabated, clearly indicating that there was more than one rider.

Dozens of riders, or perhaps hundreds?

Six ghostly figures had already quietly appeared around Yingjing.

The Six Sword Slaves dared not be negligent.

Rumble, thump, thump...

The sound of horses' hooves grew clearer and faster as they approached.

Amidst swirling sand and the clanging of bells, a clear view finally appeared in Ying Jing's vision.

About a hundred tall horses galloped at full speed, their riders robust and with high-bridged noses, clearly identified as Hu people.

These people didn't pay any attention to Ying Jing and his group, and just kept traveling without stopping, heading straight for the town.

"What are so many Hu people doing here?"

Yan Lingji relaxed a bit and spoke softly.

Ying Jing gently shook his head: "Perhaps they are purchasing goods; the Hu people also need resources."

Yan Lingji was immediately surprised: "Don't the Hu people just rob people directly?"

Ying Jing couldn't help but gently tap her little head: "The Hu people aren't just pure barbarians. Although they sometimes raid southwards, they also engage in legitimate trade at other times."

Yan Lingji gently rubbed her head: "I'm not smart to begin with, and if you hit me again, I'll become even dumber."

"Actually, it's not impossible for them to just rob it."

"Their horses all carried curved swords, which were of the finest quality and no less than the weapons used by the armies of the seven kingdoms."

Ying Jing spoke calmly; he had already observed this group of Hu people very carefully.

These Hu people could be merchant caravans making purchases, or they could transform into plundering bandits at any time.

"The Net of Destiny must find out the identities of those people as quickly as possible."

Ying Jing suddenly thought of something.

The Hu people who appeared in Ping'an Town at this time... are very likely Touman.

Ping'an Town, a no-man's-land, is favored by Jianghu forces like the Farmers' Clan, and even more so by the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

This place, a gathering place for assassins from the seven kingdoms, notorious bandits, and fugitives, is the cradle for the Net to absorb fresh blood.

Finding people and verifying their identities in such a place is an extremely easy task for Luo Wang.

"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that this caravan of Hu people is from the Xiongnu, and their leader is Touman. They are on a purchase trip because they received an invitation from the Farmers and are also attending the Treasure Exchange Conference."

A series of ghostly figures flashed by as they darted in from afar.

They stopped when they were about three zhang away from Ying Jing, and respectfully knelt on one knee to report the latest news.

The Six Sword Slaves remained hidden in the shadows and did not reveal themselves; these were all personnel of the Luo Wang organization stationed in this area.

"The farmers are quite capable; they can even contact the Xiongnu Chanyu."

Ying Jing couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Each of you will be promoted one rank, given a hundred gold pieces, and granted a day of rest."

Having successfully located Touman Chanyu, Ying Jing was in a good mood.

In the past, there was absolutely no rest time for the Net, let alone any rewards.

Once caught in the snare, survival is the greatest reward; one is left only with endless missions to face.

Ying Jing wouldn't exploit him that much.

As long as the task is completed successfully, a certain reward and rest time will be given depending on the difficulty of the task.

Anping Town, Qianlong Inn.

Ying Jing did not immediately go to find Touman Chanyu, but returned to the inn run by the farmer's Qianlong Hall.

Sitting at the table in the room, Ying Jing gently tapped the surface.

"Go and bring the person here first."

Ultimately, those with power and subordinates will need to be used.

Given his current status and position, Ying Jing wouldn't do everything personally. He's only here to join in the fun.

Touman had a number of cavalrymen, but they were only useful in direct confrontations.

Using the methods of the Net, capturing him and bringing him before Ying Jing would be no difficult task.

There's not even a need for a top-tier expert to intervene.

However, just in case, Ying Jing still sent out Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

In broad daylight, Ping'an Town still maintains some order.

As night fell, things became even more chaotic. If Ying Jing hadn't been staying at the inn run by the Farmer's Hidden Dragon Hall, he might have been bothered by thieves as well.

In such chaos, it is even more convenient for the net to operate.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought."

Using a top-tier expert like Hei Bai Xuan Jian to capture a mere Touman Chanyu is indeed a waste of talent.

From the moment Hei Bai Xuan Jian set off until his return, it didn't even take more than an hour.

but……

Ying Jing's expression was now somewhat strange.

Have they arrested too many Black and White Xuanjian?

He only asked to capture the man who had turned back.

How come there's an extra woman here?

Ying Jing looked at the woman in front of him, who was bound by a specially made silk ribbon and then tied with a rope and brought to him. His expression was strange.

Xuan Jian's meaning... he didn't encounter anything?

Am I that kind of person?

On the other side, Touman's situation was much simpler; he was knocked unconscious and carried back.

"Tell me, what's wrong with this woman?"

Ying Jing gently pinched Yan Lingji in his arms. The way this woman looked at Hei Bai Xuan Jian now was a little strange.

A look in his eyes that seems to want to kill someone!
