Chapter 325: Discovery

"Let's go, let's continue forward."

Because Wang Zhan took out Wang Jian's token, these Great Qin soldiers didn't make things difficult for Su Fan's group. They soon left the military camp, passed through Canyue Valley, and chased in the direction Gai Nie and the others had left.

During their brief rest in the military camp, they also heard some news: the great battle that occurred in Canyue Valley, thousands of Great Qin elites, were defeated by Gai Nie alone.

However, Gai Nie didn't kill them, only wounded them, making them unable to move again.

"Sure enough, Gai Nie didn't dare to kill."

Leaving Canyue Valley, Wang Zhan also showed a satisfied look on his face.

Su Fan looked at him with a somewhat inexplicable expression. The latter saw this and was also confused: "Is there a problem with my words?"

"Gai Nie didn't dare to? I, on the contrary, feel that he didn't kill those people, which will instead be more favorable for his escape. Look, those wounded soldiers will instead drag down other soldiers; this is Gai Nie's true plan."

Su Fan pointed out unceremoniously.

And Wang Zhan, upon hearing this, was suddenly speechless. He wasn't a fool; after hearing Su Fan's hint, he also understood that the possibility of this was still very high.

"However, even so, there is also Gai Nie's fear of the Empire's army here."

Wang Zhan was stubborn. Su Fan naturally wouldn't argue much, but he also knew in his heart that this was already a change from *The Legend of Qin*.

In *The Legend of Qin*, Gai Nie slaughtered three hundred Great Qin elites, while now Gai Nie wounded them.

However, these changes were also within Su Fan's expectations. This was, after all, not the world of *The Legend of Qin*.

They followed secretly. This chase lasted for nearly a month, and Su Fan and the others never got close to Gai Nie and his group.

On this day, Wang Zhan suddenly found Su Fan.

"What's the matter?"

"The village ahead is not simple."

"You ran to the front? Didn't I tell you not to go over? What if you were discovered by Gai Nie?"

Su Fan was a bit speechless.

"I was just watching from afar; I definitely wouldn't be discovered. Let's not talk about this first; I discovered something different in that village."

"There are people guarding inside and outside the village, and at fixed times, different people are constantly patrolling the surroundings. This is definitely not an ordinary village."

"Looking at the posture of those people, they are definitely from the army."

"So what?"

Su Fan didn't care at all, because he knew that this place was very likely a village of the remaining forces of the Xiang Clan.

In *The Legend of Qin*, the first people Gai Nie and the others encountered seemed to be Xiang Yu and his clan.

Regarding Xiang Yu, Su Fan had no feelings. In his previous life's history, he was held very high: "No king is like the Hegemon, no general is like Li."

As a monarch, Xiang Yu was still far off. Not to mention compared to those founding emperors, even compared to those kings who hadn't become emperors, he didn't have any advantage.

For example, Cao Cao; Su Fan didn't think Xiang Yu's ability could compare to Cao Cao's.

Perhaps the only thing he could compare to Old Cao was his personal martial power.

Of course, that was the Hegemon Xiang of history; the current Xiang Yu was just Xiang Shaoyu, a hot-blooded youth who wanted to restore his country.

But Su Fan still had no good feelings for them, and now that Great Qin had unified the world, their restoration of the country was rebellion. Under unification, although Qin law was strict, at least everyone could survive.

And clearly, Great Qin had also begun to transform from military merit to civil administration.

Once war broke out, the ones who couldn't bear it were the bottom-level commoners, because they had no resistance at all.

Once war broke out, locally, it was impossible to farm grain. Without grain in the fields, those wealthy nobles could live comfortably, while they could only starve to death.

Xiang Yu and the others restoring the country might have some patriotic heart, but in the end, wasn't it a group of commoners who were unlucky?

As a person of later generations, although he had lived for several hundred years, some of the thoughts from his previous life still existed.

So he had no good feelings for Xiang Yu, the Mohists, and these people restoring the country, even Zhang Liang was the same.

In his view, Great Qin was not bad. Don't look at Great Qin's law as strict, but for the bottom-level commoners, wasn't this a kind of protection?

Those officials didn't dare to fish for meat among the commoners locally; that would truly lead to beheading.

Looking through history, among those great dynasties, in terms of governing officials, Great Qin was definitely the most clear-minded.

Actually, later generations also wanted to learn from Ying Zheng, that was Zhu Yuanzhang, but it was a pity that at that time, the Confucian School had completely controlled the officialdom, and even Zhu Yuanzhang found it difficult to contend.

So he used beheading to constantly deter, but the effect was not very good.

Corrupt officials fished for meat among the commoners, imperial power did not go down to the village, and the imperial court's management of the local area was too weak.

Great Qin was different. The Great Qin government covered the villages. Those village elders and the like were all clerks and belonged to the ranks of the Great Qin government.

And most of them were born as disciples in the army; this could also be considered Great Qin's control over the local area.

It was a pity that such a good system had never existed since Great Qin. The Han Dynasty also had a village elder system, but it was just a formality.

Su Fan often wondered, if Great Qin hadn't perished in the second generation, then the Confucian School couldn't have replaced the Legalist School. What would the future Huaxia look like?

Entering the era of the rule of law in advance.

Of course, this was just imagination.

These thoughts only appeared in Su Fan's mind for a while, and then Su Fan looked at Wang Zhan: "That village is not simple, what does it have to do with you?"

"Don't tell me you want to go over now and capture them all?"

"That is very likely the Empire's reactionary force?"

Wang Zhan couldn't help but say: "If we can capture them, that is also a great merit."

"Just relying on us? You forgot that Gai Nie, that guy, is inside. Are you his opponent? Even if he is severely injured, if he really wants to kill you, it's just a matter of one sword."

"And now even you know it, do you think the Empire has no discoveries? Do you really think the Empire's Shadow Secret Guards and Black Ice Terrace are just eating?"

"I dare say, Gai Nie's route has long been under the eyes of those people."

"I said before, Gai Nie's defection is very likely a calculation of the Empire, just to fish, to fish for those people to take the bait, and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"So if you appear now, you can only startle the snake, ruining the good deeds of the Empire's high-level officials. At that time, I'm afraid even the Great General won't be able to protect you."

Su Fan said calmly. Of course, the last words had some intimidation, but in reality, they were also facts.

Because he was completely convinced that Ying Zheng was calculating, and the objects of his calculation were not only those Mohists, but also the remaining forces of the six states' nobles, and even the forces of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

How great Ying Zheng's ambition was, Su Fan was very clear. He wanted to build an unparalleled Great Qin Empire and make all forces submit to Great Qin. ===== CHAPTER 326 =====
