Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 280 Heading West (Part )
Ying Pijiang stroked the updated and carefully prepared map in his arms, and had a basic goal in mind -

Just like what some ministers proposed to Fusu at the beginning,

Go west!
Go find Xinxia!

That was the long-time ally of Ying Qin.
The two sides have a deep friendship.

The seeds of Qin could take root and grow there.

If I am lucky enough to wait until the Central Plains is in chaos again,

If he was still alive at that time,

Who knows, maybe he can lead his army to make a comeback?

Since Xinxia can send an envoy,
Then there shouldn't be any problem in organizing an army and marching back to the Xia Dynasty!
As for the Western Regions,

The countries there were dependent on oases, had no strong foundation, and were also influenced by the Huns.

Ying Pijiang didn't dare to take the risk.

Other than that,

He didn't think any more.
Teenagers can set goals, but they are not yet able to consider in detail the possible situations they may experience on the way to reaching their goals.

But Hei Yi supported him.

The work my grandfather did when he was young,

At this time, it became the confidence for Hei Yi to support this matter.

Moreover, nearly two hundred years ago,
Some people dared to leave the Central Plains and establish a new Xia.

Why don't they dare to do so?

However, faced with the sudden bad news and the bumpy journey to the West, some members of the royal family still chose to retreat.

Hu Hai shouted: "You must be lying!"

"It's late at night and the city gates are closed. Where did you get the news?"

"I do not go!"

"What's so good about the West!"

in spring,
The war in Longxi ended.
There are still piles of Jingguan there now!
Ying Pijiang advised him a few words.

But Hu Hai still didn't want to.

then,

He gave up on this uncle who had loved fighting with him since childhood.

Black veil appeared,

In her capacity as the Queen of Qin, she counted the people who were willing to follow them and also counted out enough property.

By sunset the next day, everything was ready, but Xiang Yu's men had not arrived yet.

The convoy flow,

They poured out from Yongcheng and began to run towards the west.

There were as many as a thousand royal family disciples and old Qin people who were willing to follow the royal family.

There are quite a few young and strong people among them.

The armory in Yongcheng was emptied by them.

The Xiongnu who blocked the Hexi Corridor have not returned after retreating.

therefore,

There is no need to worry about encountering too many risks on the road.

Ying Pijiang rode a horse and walked in front to lead the way.

He was about to turn fourteen, and thanks to the privileged life he had enjoyed since childhood, he had already grown tall enough.

And in terms of identifying direction,
He also has an extremely outstanding talent.

After seeing the "little world" presented to him by He Bo, nothing would confuse him.

then,

The last successor of the Qin Dynasty,
Start looking for a new home for Ying Qin.

Just like thousands of years ago,

The ancestors of Ying Qin were migrated from east to west by the Zhou people.

right now,

They were still on their way westward.

He Bo took a few dead ghosts and rode on the cloud, overlooking the team below, and smiled softly, "This kid can indeed continue the Qin Dynasty."

Ying Zheng and Fusu standing by just stared at their young grandchildren in silence, commanding the troops like an adult, tears slowly welling up in their eyes.

They looked at the child and prayed for him continuously in their hearts.

He Bo then said to Ximen Bao, "If they go to the Western Regions, it shouldn't be considered as me interfering in the human world!"

In this regard, Dr. Ximen does not hide his double standards.

He replied directly, "How can the barbarians outside the territory be called human beings?"

Since there is no citizenship,
That certainly can’t be considered interfering in the “human world”.

And through the messenger of Xinxia,
Ximen Bao also learned that many places outside the region are sparsely populated.

Even the barbarians living there are mostly crude, unlettered, and without history.

The gentlemen of the various Xia dynasties passed by,
It is to bring them culture and spread civilization!
This is the right path established by the ancient sages.
anyway,

Ximen Bao would not object either.

He just wants the future of Zhu Xia to be good enough.

He Bo laughed at him and continued to spy on Ying Qin's whereabouts.

Ying Pijiang showed the way,
As the Queen of Qin, Heisha became the final decision maker.
Hei Yi is responsible for reconciling various conflicts that arise during the journey.

This allowed the team to leave Longxi smoothly and officially embark on the journey of leaving Zhuxia.

The Jingguan that the Xiongnu people built with all their might is still piled up at the place where the battle took place.

This symbolizes Ying Qin's final martial arts.

When the empire was about to fall,
It still defeated the invading foreign enemies and opened up a channel for new life for its descendants.

And Ying Pijiang, tired from all the travels, stood here and looked back towards Xianyang.

He didn't know if anyone was chasing him.

I don't know if the clan members who stayed in Yongcheng are still alive.

I don’t know whether the city of Xianyang, which has been burned into ruins, will be rebuilt after a long time.

I don’t even know if someone will stand on the ruins and point to the remaining traces and say:
"Look!"

"This is the Qin Dynasty!"

How will future generations evaluate this dynasty that was quickly unified and then quickly ended?

Will its unfinished business be continued?
"...if they speak ill of my fathers and grandfathers,"

"If the Central Plains cannot find peace after such chaos!"

"So!"

“I will definitely come back again!”

Grit your teeth and give up your promise.

Ying Pijiang retracted his gaze and rode his horse again.
Keep walking on that long road.

And when passing through the Hexi Corridor, they experienced some attacks by barbarians.

Hei Yi led the team to defeat them and captured their horses, reducing the pressure of carrying supplies. "The future is bright!"

When Hei Yi counted the harvest, he said to his sister and nephew with a smile.

He ignored the new scars on his body from the battle and just smiled brightly to boost everyone's morale.

Ying Pijiang also cooperated with him.

"Ying Qin's ancestors were horse herders, and now we are also inheriting their ancestral business!"

At that time, Fei Zi was just a household slave who raised horses for the Zhou emperor, but he still built a foundation for the founding of a nation for his descendants.

right now,

These descendants of theirs are free and have plenty of power.

The future will definitely be bright!
With such expectations,
They moved on.

Passing through the Hexi Corridor,

Passing by Jiaonan, which had been ravaged by the Xiongnu for a long time and had lost much vitality,
After passing through many small countries in the Western Regions,

Through trade and war with these countries,
After sufficient supplies were supplied,
Ying Qin stumbled along the way and finally reached a new destination.

Hei Yi pointed ahead and said, "After passing here, we will reach Wusun."

Ying Pijiang also said, "After this, I don't know what will happen next."

The road shown to him by the gods and ghosts only included the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions surrounded by huge mountains.

What would it be like further west?
Even ghosts and gods are not clear.

"It's okay, we're getting closer to the new summer anyway!"

“Maybe we’ll run into their caravan later, and then we can just follow them!”

The further west you go,
The traces of Zhuxia are getting fainter and fainter.
The shadow of the new summer becomes thicker.

When the Central Plains was plunged into war,
This branch of Zhuxia is thriving and showing its vitality.

Ying Pijiang envied them a little.
So I am looking forward to what I will look like after arriving in Xinxia.

But when they were about to enter Wusun,
A voice came over and called them.

He Bo and his fellow dead ghosts finally ended their spying and showed up at the end.

If you still try to hide things when you get to a place like this, you will end up with a lot of regrets.

But in order not to cause too much commotion,
He blocked everyone else and only allowed the Hei siblings and Ying Pijiang to see the figures of ghosts and gods.

But when the dead appeared again, the living were stunned in disbelief.

Until Fusu took the initiative to step forward and hugged his wife and children.

Sa let out a sad cry.

The maturity that Ying Pijiang had gained through his busy life also faded away in an instant.

He became the child immersed in love again, lying in his father's arms, crying freely.

He didn't know that his father was looking at him and just talking about his experiences incoherently.

He said he was doing well.

His uncle and mother took care of him without any problems.

In response, Fusu simply touched the scar on his face caused by falling off his horse during the fierce battle, and smiled with a distressed look on his face.

Ying Zheng also came over and stroked his grandson's hair.

He still has high hopes for the child.

He said, "The foundation of the Qin Dynasty has not been cut off."

"It will flourish in your hands."

Ying Pijiang agreed with sobs.

the other side,
Hei Yi was also kneeling in front of his father and grandfather, crying.

Hei Zhuang hugged him, stroked his son's back, and saw the white hair growing on his head.

Hei Yi, who is in his thirties,
Hei Yi, who was once scolded by his father for "always acting like a child",

I also grew older and more mature during this journey.

“Take good care of yourself.”

“There is still a long way to go!”

The blackened teeth became clear after death.
He instructed his children very gently.

Heihu also took his grandson's hand and said with blessing, "You, Sha, and Pijiang all have the appearance of longevity and wealth."

"Don't be afraid of those setbacks and hardships, the future will definitely be better!"

Hei Yi wiped his tears and nodded.

At last,
He Bo handed them a few small white cans.

He sighed and said, "I haven't reached the place further west, so I can only take you here."

"This gift is a treasure I give you. It can preserve your soul."

“Remember to carry it with you!”

"Who knows, maybe one day I'll go there and find this thing, and we'll be reunited again?"

He once regretted
Don't let this happen again!

The soil of Sanjiangyuan was dug up again and again by ghosts and gods.
The skill of making white pots has been practiced again and again by ghosts and gods.

right now,

It can preserve a person's soul for a long time.

Specific time,
Ghosts and gods have not yet experimented with this.

But he was sure.

The white jar made with my own hard work will definitely protect the people favored by ghosts and gods for a very long time.

So He Bo could confidently say to Ying Pijiang, "Remember this!"

"Otherwise, if you die outside the territory, in a barbarian land, do you think there will be ghosts and gods there to preserve your soul and let your relatives meet you?"

Ying Pijiang and the Hei siblings carefully held the small and exquisite white jar in their arms.

The former still looked at He Bo's face and asked him puzzledly, "You are the bird from before!"

"But your human form is so beautiful, why do you want to change into a flying bird?"

He Bo just chuckled, pointed at Ying Zheng and said, "Because I want to follow tradition!"

The First Emperor, who was being pointed at, snorted coldly, walked behind Fusu, and avoided the "telepathic finger" of the ghost or god.

then,

Ying Pijiang understood something.

He gave a relaxed smile.

Subsequently,

The living and the dead say goodbye,
From the known into the unknown.

New roads,

It spread under Ying Qin's feet.

far away,

The people of Xinxia were also riding on horses, holding talismans that originated from the various Xia states and were adorned with Xinxia's special bird feathers. They walked out of the Xingshan Pass and headed north along a road they had long been familiar with.
