Chapter 789: Trip to Lishan, overcrowded

Five days passed in a row.

The heat of the harvest was in full swing in other parts of Great Qin.

But in Xianyang City, the heat of the harvest had already weakened somewhat.

However, today, Xianyang City was stunned by a piece of gossip.

Great Qin Ruishi were escorting nearly two hundred thousand Xiongnu captives back to Lishan.

This piece of news made the people of nearly half of Xianyang City tremble.

They found it somewhat unbelievable.

They were all sighing at how powerful the Great Qin Ruishi were.

They had captured over a hundred thousand Xiongnu all at once.

It would not be an exaggeration to call it unprecedented.

Some people in Xianyang City even wanted to go and see for themselves.

But the journey was long, and they could not fulfill their wish.

They could only talk about it in Xianyang City, not knowing the truth of the matter for the time being.

They could only wait for the Great Qin Daily to be published the next day to know the truth.

Therefore, no matter how they discussed it, it could only be a small-scale discussion.

After all, there had been no official announcement yet.

This was just gossip, and it was difficult to define whether it was true or false.

At the foot of Lishan, a hundred li away from Xianyang City.

Han Xin finally arrived here with a mighty crowd.

It took more than twenty days to arrive.

It can be seen that the time spent on this journey was also very long.

Moreover, escorting so many captives along the way, the speed could not be fast.

This time, there were nearly four hundred thousand people in the mighty crowd.

Nearly two hundred thousand were Xiongnu captives.

The remaining two hundred thousand were Great Qin Ruishi, responsible for escorting them to Lishan.

And at the foot of Lishan.

Countless soldiers had gathered at this time.

They had long since surrounded the place tightly.

These were twenty thousand soldiers dispatched from the Yongcheng camp.

However, most of them were new recruits.

They had been waiting here for a long time.

These two hundred thousand people were here to replace the border defense army.

The border defense army sent people here, but they couldn't stay here forever.

After resting for a few days, they would return to the north.

Standing at the very front of the Yongcheng camp soldiers were several conspicuous people.

Standing at the very front was Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Li Xin and Wang Li were both following behind him.

They rushed to Lishan the moment they received the news.

And the reason Li Xin appeared here.

Was because His Majesty the First Emperor had issued an imperial edict.

To guard the peace of Lishan.

The Lishan project would be under Li Xin's responsibility from now on.

As long as nothing went wrong, he just needed to complete the Lishan project.

After all, with so many people here, it wouldn't do to have no one guarding them.

Originally, Ying Ying Zi Ye did not want to come to Lishan.

But Wang Li persuaded him, saying that the Lishan project was massive.

Whether it was the Epang Palace or the Imperial Mausoleum, it was the same.

Ordinary people wouldn't have a chance to see it even once in their lifetime.

If a capable person didn't take a look, it would be a great regret in life.

Ying Ying Zi Ye, having nothing else to do, was moved; it wouldn't hurt to take a look.

He also wanted to know what stage the Lishan project was at now.

Before dispersing hundreds of thousands of Great Qin citizens, he didn't even know what stage the project was at.

He hadn't come to Lishan to see it either.

Now, taking this opportunity to see it wouldn't hurt.

The moment Han Xin saw Ying Ying Zi Ye.

He almost shed tears of excitement.

He truly didn't expect His Highness to be waiting for him here.

He had originally thought that after completing this task.

He would have a few days of leave, and then he would return to Xianyang City.

Xianyang City had people he missed, and also people he needed to be grateful to.

Yet he didn't expect to see His Highness here.

It made him feel flattered.

I reckon he wouldn't even need to return to Xianyang City.

Han Xin's eyes turned slightly red.

"Xin, pays respects to Your Highness!"

Han Xin immediately performed a grand salute.

The people like Shanu beside him also followed and performed a grand salute.

"Please rise."

"You've worked hard."

Ying Ying Zi Ye personally helped Han Xin up.

Looking at this group of dust-covered Great Qin soldiers.

Ying Ying Zi Ye was quite moved.

How much time had passed?

They had escorted nearly two hundred thousand Xiongnu captives to Lishan.

Adding the previous captives, it was over two hundred thousand.

This number had been growing constantly.

"It is my duty; I dare not say I have worked hard."

"I originally intended to return to Xianyang City to see Your Highness after completing this errand."

"Who knew Your Highness would appear here directly."

"Then perhaps Xin won't need to return to Xianyang City."

Han Xin slowly calmed his excited mood. ===== CHAPTER 791 =====
