Chapter 166

~7 min read 1,377 words

The army continued forward, and after more than an hour, they finally stopped not far from the city wall of the capital of Kuaiji Commandery.

The appearance of Ying Zi Ye and the others made the garrison soldiers of the capital of Kuaiji Commandery nervous.

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw so many cavalry coming and were somewhat confused.

Some soldiers even took out their weapons as if facing a formidable enemy.

Fortunately, they recognized them as Great Qin soldiers, otherwise they would have been scared into closing the city gate long ago.

Ying Ying Zi Ye ordered the soldiers to set up camp on the spot.

There were too many soldiers and warhorses; if they all entered the city, he was afraid it would cause a riot.

There was also no need to enter the capital; just stationing outside the city was enough.

The soldiers had been traveling for days and hadn't been able to rest well.

Now that they had finally reached their destination, they all received the order to set up camp on the spot.

"Now that we are here, finding the Chu remnants shouldn't be difficult for General Wang, right?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled indifferently; in Great Qin, on his own territory, if Wang Li couldn't handle even this small matter.

He would have to start doubting Wang Li's ability to hold the position of general.

And those Chu remnants would know sooner or later that Great Qin soldiers had arrived.

But they wouldn't know what the Great Qin Ruishi had come here to do.

Perhaps they would only think that the Great Qin soldiers were just passing through and stationed here temporarily.

Although they would be somewhat vigilant, it wouldn't be enough to scare them all away.

Since it couldn't be hidden anyway, it was better to appear in the capital of Kuaiji Commandery openly to avoid criticism.

"Ninth Prince, don't worry; give this general some time, and I will definitely drag all these disgusting rats out!"

Wang Li was very confident; just as the Ninth Prince said, there was indeed no need to be sneaky on their own territory.

And if the Chu remnants had really been managing this place for a long time.

With so many of them coming, it was impossible for them to avoid their eyes and ears.

Perhaps they knew they had arrived as soon as they entered the territory of Kuaiji Commandery.

But so what? In every commandery and county of Great Qin, the government has certain intelligence gatherers in the dark.

When he came, His Majesty had instructed him to listen to the Ninth Prince in everything.

He also informed him of the contact person for intelligence gathering here.

Letting him know that he could contact those people to inquire about the news he wanted to know after arriving at the place.

Some news might be too secret to know, but don't underestimate them either.

There are many things they know, after all, this is a matter of a professional field.

The government has special channels to get some of the news it wants to know.

The garrison soldiers saw that the Great Qin elite had arrived.

So they notified the Commandery Governor, Yin Tong, as quickly as possible.

After Yin Tong received the news, he was a bit foolish; the soldiers reported that there were over ten thousand Great Qin cavalry outside the capital.

This made him somewhat fearful; after all, for many years, there had never been so many cavalry coming.

He didn't know what had happened?

Could it be that the garrison soldiers saw wrong?

Did ten thousand cavalry really come to the capital?

He hadn't received any news at all.

Yin Tong didn't dare to be negligent, and together with the Commandery Chancellor, Wu Tian (the deputy of the Commandery Governor), they rushed out of the city without stopping.

Arriving outside the city, when he saw that there were really so many cavalry.

Yin Tong was very surprised; there really were dense soldiers, visually at least ten thousand!

"Lord Yin, why are there so many soldiers?"

Wu Tian was also shocked to see so many Great Qin Ruishi.

"How would this official know? Let's hurry and welcome them!"

Yin Tong didn't dare to think too much and hurried to welcome them.

"This official, Commandery Governor of Kuaiji Commandery, Yin Tong, pays respects to General Wang!"

"This official, Commandery Chancellor of Kuaiji Commandery, Wu Tian, pays respects to General Wang!"

Yin Tong and the other knew Wang Li, but they didn't know Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Wang Li nodded and introduced them to Yin Tong and the other.

"This is the Regent, the Ninth Prince; you should have heard of him."

Yin Tong and the other felt their legs go weak and knelt down directly.

"This official, Yin Tong (Wu Tian), did not know that the Ninth Prince was coming and failed to welcome you in advance; please punish this official, Ninth Prince!"

"The ignorant are not guilty; get up."

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled indifferently, without any airs of a prince at all.

Yin Tong and the other stood up and bowed again.

"Ninth Prince, the journey has been exhausting; why not follow this official into the city to rest for a while?"

Yin Tong didn't dare to ask what the Ninth Prince had come here for.

He could only secretly size up Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Young and handsome, dashing and spirited, that unique elegant temperament was like an immortal descending to the world.

And there was no air of a prince at all, making people feel very comfortable to get along with.

Although they hadn't seen the Ninth Prince Ying Ying Zi Ye, the name of the Ninth Prince had long spread to every corner of Great Qin recently!

Many of Great Qin's major events recently were caused by this Ninth Prince.

The nobles and wealthy families of their Kuaiji Commandery also suffered, allowing the local commoners to benefit.

The commoners in the counties under the jurisdiction of Kuaiji Commandery were all grateful to Ying Zi Ye.

And the recent news about the auspicious sweet potato had also become popular in Great Qin, and all places had received the news.

The commoners were all ecstatic, and everywhere people were singing the praises of Ying Ying Zi Ye's name.

Ying Ying Zi Ye's reputation in Great Qin was known to everyone.

It is rumored that Ying Ying Zi Ye has made great contributions and benefited the commoners; he is a saint of the current age!

Although many people hadn't seen the Ninth Prince, it didn't affect people's worship of him.

It was he who promoted reform with his own strength, allowing the commoners to benefit a lot.

Now that he finally saw the real person, Yin Tong was also extremely curious about what kind of person this was.

Although he didn't know what the Ninth Prince had come to Kuaiji Commandery for, it didn't affect his enthusiasm at all.

"Hmm, let's go; it's also good to appreciate the local customs of Kuaiji Commandery."

After Ying Ying Zi Ye finished speaking, he lifted his foot and got into the imperial carriage.

Yin Tong and Wu Tian hurriedly followed behind to accompany him.

Wang Li also selected two hundred soldiers to follow.

When going out, how can guards be lacking?

He had learned the lesson of being assassinated once before, so he dispatched even more guards.

If it weren't for the fact that it was not good for too many people to enter the city, he would have intended to dispatch one thousand soldiers to escort him.

Now that they had arrived at the commandery city of the Chu remnants, it was better to be careful.

In a tavern.

Commandery Governor Yin Tong and Commandery Chancellor Wu Tian accompanied Ying Ying Zi Ye and Wang Li to dine here.

During the meal, Wang Li asked some questions about the Chu remnants in a roundabout way.

Yin Tong told everything he knew without reservation.

And Wu Tian also occasionally interjected a few words from the side.

"Is the Ninth Prince going to take action against the Xiang family?"

Yin Tong spoke abruptly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
