Chapter 1041

It was not enough to make him tremble with fear.

But that young man was incredibly nervous.

"Old Man Fan, Old Man Ren, can you two think of a way?"

"Is it enough to just sit there and say nothing?"

"Are you two not anxious at all?"

The young man's voice was loud, with a slight tremor.

It was evident that his state of mind was not calm at this moment.

One could say he was terrified.

"Young Master Hu Hai, please calm down."

"At this moment, we need to be cool-headed."

The man referred to as Old Man Fan replied with a bitter smile.

This Old Man Fan was none other than Fan Zeng.

And the other old man was Ren Xiao.

Ren Xiao did not speak, and his complexion was somewhat unpleasant.

As for why Fan Zeng appeared in Nanyue,

it was because he had been fortunate enough to escape a disaster when the Qin Army wiped out Seeing Seeing Xiang Yu Yu last time.

After learning later that Seeing Xiang Yu Liang, Seeing Seeing Xiang Yu Yu, and the others had all been exterminated, he became afraid.

He had even thought of fleeing, to find a place where no one knew him and live out his life in obscurity.

However, when he returned home, he discovered that his entire family had been captured by the Qin Army.

After making inquiries through various channels, he learned that his family had been killed by the Qin Army for attempting to escape.

An old man burying the young—this result left him consumed with rage.

With nothing left to lose, he thought of revenge.

But relying on himself alone, he was weak and powerless; he would have no hope of revenge in this lifetime.

At this moment, Fan Zeng was lost.

He had even once thought of ending his life.

Finally, he thought of Hu Hai.

If he wanted revenge, Hu Hai was the key.

Although Hu Hai had been demoted to a commoner, he was still the youngest son of Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng.

As long as he could find him, there was likely still a chance for a comeback.

In the end, after overcoming numerous difficulties and at a great cost, Fan Zeng

finally discovered traces of Hu Hai in a beggar's den.

When Fan Zeng found Hu Hai, the moment he saw him, he almost didn't recognize him.

The change was truly immense.

If Fan Zeng hadn't had a portrait of Hu Hai, he wouldn't have recognized him at all.

Fan Zeng did not beat around the bush and stated his intentions directly.

He said he would assist Hu Hai in regaining a life free from worries about food and clothing.

If luck was on their side, he estimated they could return to the peak and restore his original status.

At first, Hu Hai thought this old man was a swindler.

He did not want to believe him.

Nowadays, he couldn't even get a meal.

And to restore his original status? How could that be possible?

After several months of begging, Hu Hai had almost starved to death.

Only he himself understood the bitterness of this journey.

At the same time, he hated Ying Ying Zi Ye to the core.

If it weren't for this brother of his, perhaps he wouldn't have fallen into such a state.

Hu Hai pushed all the responsibility for this onto Ying Ying Zi Ye.

He also knew that Ying Ying Zi Ye had become the Crown Prince.

But why could Ying Ying Zi Ye be the Crown Prince, while he could only be a beggar?

Hu Hai hated him!

Yet he had absolutely no solution.

Being able to survive now was a stroke of luck; as for revenge, he estimated there was no hope in this life.

Sometimes he would think it would be better to just die; having lived a life free from want since childhood,

he couldn't bear this life of not knowing where his next meal was coming from.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Yet he couldn't make up his mind to commit suicide, and it had dragged on until now.

Suicide requires great courage.

Hu Hai lived a life of not knowing where his next meal was coming from every day.

Occasionally, he would even be beaten by fellow beggars.

He had been starving in this beggar's den for two days.

Just when he was unable to endure the hunger, Fan Zeng appeared.

Fan Zeng didn't waste words and directly took Hu Hai to have a good meal.

This meal actually brought tears to Hu Hai's eyes.

Originally, he hadn't wanted to trust this old man.

Hu Hai didn't know Fan Zeng, but looking at the old man's demeanor, he wasn't a simple character.

After all, he learned some of the old man's past from his own mouth.

It turned out that this old man's family had also been destroyed because of Ying Ying Zi Ye. ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
