All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Han Chunming turned his horse around and coldly scanned the surroundings. The three armored soldiers who had caught up with him saw Han Chunming's actions and quickly dispersed, forming an encirclement and trapping Han Chunming in the street!

The already sparse pedestrians on the street all hid in the houses on both sides when they saw this scene, and countless eyes were staring at him!

Han Chunming shook his neck. He had just remembered that this was the Qin Dynasty, a place where he didn't need to obey the law at all!

A cruel smile crept across his lips; he was eager to test the true capabilities of an ordinary soldier in this era!

"kill!"

Without a word, the three men raised their iron spears and attacked almost simultaneously, targeting Han Chunming's head and lower back respectively. An ordinary person would have had a hard time withstanding the combined attack of the three!

Han Chunming, with one hand on the horse's back, suddenly leaped up, his brand-new leather shoes landing on a man's iron spear. With a flip, he landed on a man's horse!

The other party hurriedly tried to block, but Han Chunming's hands moved with lightning speed. He clenched his fists and punched the other party in the chest!

But at the last moment, he finally loosened his fist, changed his fist into a grab, grabbed the other person's neck, and dragged him off the horse!

Almost simultaneously, the other two men thrust their iron spears toward his chest. Han Chunming snorted, dodged to the left, and casually struck one of the men's iron spear shafts with his palm!

Han Chunming only used three-tenths of his strength. If he had used his full strength, the iron spear would have broken instantly. Even with only three-tenths of his strength, the opponent would not have been able to withstand it!

The opponent's hands jerked violently, and the iron spear flew from his grasp. Han Chunming pulled it back, and the spear was in his own hand.

He twirled his spear, knocking the iron spear from the last man's hand with a single move. He rode on his horse, iron spear in hand, alone and proud, looking down at the three Qin soldiers lying on the ground!

Han Chunming ultimately didn't bring himself to kill. He couldn't help it; he'd spent too much time in the modern city, and he wasn't used to taking lives on a whim.

Han Chunming looked at the group and coldly reprimanded them.

"I am not a Xiongnu, I am just passing through this place, I have no ill intentions, I just need to borrow your horses!"

After saying that, Han Chunming turned his horse around, looked at the iron spear in his hand, felt that the thing was too cumbersome, so he threw it away and rode off in the southwest direction!

A man on horseback, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, galloping wildly down the street—Han Chunming's first appearance in this era has shocked many!

Han Chunming rode his horse at full speed while observing the surrounding environment from left to right.

This should just be a small town. Looking around, the town is only about three or four miles in circumference, and the city wall in front is only a three-meter-high earthen wall!

Han Chunming galloped towards the city gate, and soon arrived at the gate. Several soldiers saw Han Chunming's peculiar attire from afar and immediately issued a warning!

With a shout, a group of soldiers wielding long spears quickly converged on the city gate, and there were even four archers with bows and arrows who had already begun to draw their bows.

Upon witnessing this scene, Han Chunming could only mutter "Damn it!" He realized he had indeed underestimated the Qin state and this era!

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin Dynasty's unification of the six states, there were hundreds of years of warfare, especially for a military power like the Qin Dynasty, which relied on strict laws to govern the country!

Even in a small earthen city, the soldiers guarding the city are not the lax and disorganized figures depicted in movies and TV dramas; each soldier works together with exceptional coordination.

Although somewhat surprised, Han Chunming didn't take these ten or so people seriously.

No matter how disciplined they are, they are still just a group of ordinary soldiers. My strength has long surpassed that of these ordinary people.

Han Chunming lay on the horse's back and exerted a little force, making the horse feel the pressure, and the horse's pace quickened again!

At the city gate, a junior officer in armor and carrying a sword, seeing that Han Chunming showed no sign of stopping, raised a hand and shouted to the soldiers behind him.

"Shoot the horse!"

Four long arrows were immediately shot out, their target the black horse beneath Han Chunming!

Han Chunming shouted "Giddy up!" and stared intently at the city gate!

His eyes flashed like lightning as he watched the four arrows hurtling towards him. He quickly took off his suit jacket, grabbed the collar, and swung it forward, knocking all four arrows down.

In the blink of an eye, Han Chunming's horse had reached the city gate, and eight long spears were already thrusting at him. Han Chunming waved his suit jacket, rolled it up and pulled it, and four long spears were pulled up. Then he swung it and opened the other four long spears!

In just a short while, Han Chunming had broken the deadlock. Eight soldiers who were blocking his way fell to the ground, dazed and confused. The remaining four archers didn't even have time to nock their arrows before Han Chunming rode off on horseback!

This is just a small town. There are only a dozen or so soldiers at the city gate. If it were a large army, Han Chunming was not sure if he could handle it so easily!

But he really wants to give it a try!

But not now!

Han Chunming had already reached the outskirts of the city. He pulled on the reins, turned his horse around, and looked at the low earthen wall not far away, as well as the soldiers chasing after him. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. On his first day in the Qin Dynasty, he had encountered such a battle. How exhilarating!

He draped his suit jacket over his shoulder, then pulled on the reins, turned his horse around, and shouted loudly!

"drive!"

Wearing a black horse, a white shirt, and leather shoes, Han Chunming rode his black horse at breakneck speed through the jungle.

Surrounded by dense forests, Han Chunming had been running for half an hour without seeing a single house, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

This is normal, though. In this era, the land was vast and sparsely populated. The Qin Dynasty covered an area of ​​more than three million square kilometers, but its population was only about thirty million. And with mountains all around, it was normal not to see any people!

However, Han Chunming was not worried about not finding anyone. This road seemed to be frequently used, and he only needed to keep walking forward to find someone!

Han Chunming slowed down, sat on the horse, and carefully observed the scenery on both sides.

This world still seems somewhat new to him, after all, it is the world he remembers from more than two thousand years ago.

He recognized most of the plants around him, and they were similar to modern plants, although there were also many plants that could no longer be seen in modern times.

Moreover, the plants of this era look very lush, and many of the towering trees in the mountains are clearly hundreds of years old!

He was also pleasantly surprised to see several rare herbs that are no longer found in modern times. He felt that these were worth studying in the future.

However, the novelty wore off quickly. Looking at the endless mountain road, Han Chunming felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Where was he supposed to go to find Yi Xiaochuan?

Only a chosen one like Yi Xiaochuan would encounter characters from the story. Otherwise, with the Qin Dynasty being so vast, if he wandered aimlessly like this, he would never find the elixir of immortality, even if he grew old and died!

Wait, I seem to remember that Yi Xiaochuan will go to Pei County, and eventually to Xianyang!

Correct!

He went to Pei County by himself, and it seems that on the way to Pei County, Yi Xiaochuan met a beautiful girl named Su Su!

It's a pity that such a beautiful woman had such a tragic fate; such a good girl was ultimately let down by Yi Xiaochuan!

Han Chunming thought it was quite interesting. Why not try to intercept it himself?

It's just a pity that I don't have a pretty boy like Yi Xiaochuan, but that's not necessarily true. Maybe the pretty girl likes older men.

Who knows!

After Han Chunming figured it out, he immediately felt a surge of joy, patted the horse's rump, and shouted "Giddy up!"

The horse immediately quickened its pace and galloped away into the distance!

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, Han Chunming gradually felt that the horse beneath him was getting tired, so he pulled on the reins and stopped. He was also thirsty, so he decided to look for a water source nearby first!

Han Chunming dismounted and led his horse to a grassy area, where he tied the horse to a nearby tree. Han Chunming then walked out into the deep mountains.

In this era, most of the deep mountains are actually like primeval forests, with wild fruits everywhere and a variety of wild animals. Of course, danger is always present.

Han Chunming hadn't gone far when a long black-patterned snake on a nearby tree bit down on his shoulder.

Han Chunming's right hand moved with lightning speed. He barely looked at the snake before his right hand was already firmly gripping the snake's vital spot.

With a little force, the bones at the snake's head broke inch by inch. He casually tossed the dead snake into the grass.

This isn't some kind of survival challenge. He has no interest in snake meat; there's hardly any meat and lots of bones!

After searching for a while and finding no water source, Han Chunming picked some wild fruit and returned to where he had tied up his horse. He fed the horse some fruit, rested for a while, and then set off again with his horse.

After riding for about ten minutes, he saw a bamboo forest ahead, and smoke was rising from the depths of the forest. Han Chunming was overjoyed!

Han Chunming hurriedly spurred his horse forward and soon passed through the bamboo forest. In the distance, he saw a clearing where three carriages were parked, and several bonfires were burning food around them, with about ten people sitting around them.

This scene likely depicts a noble family traveling during this era. Three servants with swords are on guard, while other servants are cooking over a fire. The master and his party of four—three men and one woman—sit idly chatting.

These people clearly distinguished themselves by social class; the servants were mostly dressed simply, while the masters' clothes looked much more luxurious!

Han Chunming saw the smoke and initially thought it was smoke from a nearby house, but he didn't expect it to be smoke from several nobles.

But it's quite interesting. Perfect timing! I'll ask them how to get to Pei County and borrow some travel expenses!

Han Chunming's shout of "Giddy up!" startled the guards nearby, who all drew their swords and looked towards him!

Han Chunming rode up to the group, took the reins, looked down at them, and carefully examined the nobles.

The three servants with swords immediately protected their masters behind them, and one of them pointed his sword at Han Chunming and scolded him.

"My master is resting here. All unauthorized persons, please leave immediately!"

Judging from their ages, the group appeared to be a couple with two sons. The male head of the household had an extraordinary air about him. He waved his hand, signaling his servants to put down their weapons, and then bowed to Han Chunming on horseback.

"My name is Shen Yang. This is my wife and son. We are on our way to Xianyang. May I ask where you are headed, sir?"

Seeing how polite the other person was, Han Chunming felt a little embarrassed to be too rude, so he laughed and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Um, I'm a little hungry and would like to borrow some food. I wonder if you could do me a favor?"

Shen Yang kept glancing at Han Chunming, clearly a little nervous, but seeing that the other only wanted food, he quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"All who come are guests. Brother, please dismount and join us for a meal!"

Han Chunming nodded, then dismounted in a flash, seemingly without any sense of caution. He nodded somewhat embarrassedly and said to the other party.

"Thank you very much!"

Chapter Three: Unparalleled Martial Arts

Han Chunming saw that Shen Yang had an extraordinary demeanor. Although he was somewhat wary of him, he was also quite magnanimous, which made Han Chunming feel a sense of goodwill towards him.

Han Chunming dismounted and was about to tie the horse when a servant bowed and stepped forward to take Han Chunming's horse.

Han Chunming glanced at the other person with some surprise, then handed the reins to him and casually said something.

"This is troublesome!"

Upon hearing Han Chunming's words, the servant immediately bowed even lower!

Seeing Han Chunming's actions, Shen Yang immediately relaxed. A person who is so polite to a servant probably doesn't have any bad intentions!

Han Chunming is a modern person, so he naturally doesn't have the aloofness of the nobles of this era.

Even back in the world of "The Grand Mansion Gate," the servants in the Bai family compound had far more human rights than the servants of this era.

Once everyone was seated, the maidservants quickly began serving tea and water, and even placed various snacks on the side. Han Chunming took a look and saw that they were some dried fruits and the like.

The two young men next to Shen Yang kept looking at Han Chunming, which was normal. Han Chunming's suit and leather shoes were too unconventional, so it was normal for them to find it strange.

Shen Yang quickly stopped his two sons from staring at him with his eyes, and then asked apologetically.
