Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 161: Returning in the Snow
When the forty years of Emperor Xuan were about to end,
The Xinxia delegation crossed the Hexi Corridor and arrived in the Qin State.

They drifted downstream.

With the help of the river water, they arrived in the Qin mainland smoothly.

but,

Before going to Xianyang,

The Xinxia delegation made a special trip to the old capital of Liyang.

Because there were still many Mohist disciples living there, they did not move to Xianyang with the Qin State's capital.

When they heard that the comrades who had split off many years ago had arrived, Qin Mo and others went to pay a special visit to the delegation.

The two sides exchanged a lot of Mohist skills, and based on Xinxia's description, they proposed many ideas for guarding Yangguan.

Therefore, the two schools of Mohism also imitated the story of Mozi and Gongshu Ban and carried out some offensive and defensive deductions regarding the defense of Yangguan.

And in the end, Qin Mo won most of the time.

Who made Qin keep fighting?
Offense and defense,

This is what Qin Mo and others always do.

Unlike Xinxia,

Even after defeating Gandhara and dominating the Sindhu River, it never encountered a very powerful enemy.

The characteristics of the Sindhu people are really outrageous!

This means that his Mohist disciples are naturally inferior to the experienced Qin Mo in this regard.

Xia Mo in the delegation was also amazed and exclaimed:
I thought,

To the west of Yangguan Pass, the fighting has become frequent and fierce.

Now take a look,
The Xia people are still good at fighting!

After all, without absolute experience, it is hard to think of such a method of defense and attack.

roll,
Really great!

After a cordial exchange,

Qin Mo even took his men to the outskirts of the city to find the place where Xiang Liqin was buried. He pointed to the tall poplar tree covered with frost and snow and said, "It's been many years, and Master Xiangli has finally waited for you to return from the west!"

No one in Xinxia could have imagined that

There was another ancestor waiting for him silently here, so he quickly kowtowed in front of the grave and confessed his bloodline to comfort the ancestor's spirit in heaven.

The trio said from behind, "No wonder a gust of wind suddenly blew up when we entered the city, making the tree rustle!"

"It turns out that it was our ancestors calling us!"

“No wonder our ancestors always emphasized that a tree should be planted next to their graves after they passed away!”

"Perhaps the same wind could blow from Xinxia to here, blowing the trees in both places together!"

They were moved by such coincidences and traditions, and felt touched again by this strange yet familiar land.

Although the elders taught me since I was young,
Let them know where their roots are.

But after all, I have never set foot in Zhuxia.

This makes the "roots" in their hearts inevitably seem a little illusory and frivolous.

And now,
It has already taken on a solid shape and is no longer easy to shake.

Subsequently,

The delegation went to Xianyang and was received by the King of Qin.

Because they could gain benefits from Xinxia, and the two countries did not share a border, and many of Xinxia's population came from Qin.

Therefore, the King of Qin was more friendly towards them and was not as harsh and overbearing as he was when he met the envoys from the six states in Shandong.

In addition to bringing his own ministers, he also brought his eldest son who was born at the beginning of the year.

Because Qin Jun once heard his father mention:
When the first group of people who returned from the Western Regions came to report their experiences to the monarch, Duke Xian brought his eldest son, Duke Xiao, to listen to others talk about things in the Western Regions.

right now,

Qin Jun doesn't mind recreating this classic scene.

He was holding his child who was less than one year old in his arms, and deliberately asked Qin Jin to step out of the line, wanting to see what Ying Qin's bloodline outside the domain was like.

"I have heard that you are born with supernatural powers, are good at riding and shooting, and can lift a tripod. Is that true?"

Qin Jin was modest for a moment, "It's not bad!"

Qin Jun laughed, "Yes, yes, no, no, how can there be a 'still'?"

So Qin Jin said, "I can do it!" The King of Qin then asked him to perform for him, saying that he wanted to see the power of the descendants of the Qin Dynasty outside the territory.

He led everyone out of the palace and came to the open space outside, and ordered people to bring the horses over.

Qin Jin walked over, took a light step, and got on the horse's back. He clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly and directed the mount to perform a series of movements.

The horse seemed very docile under his crotch.

Qin Jun said, "Okay!"

"The descendants of Ying Qin have not forgotten the inheritance of their ancestors even in the foreign lands!"

Qin Jin smiled and couldn't help but say, "In fact, the descendants of Ying Zhao have not forgotten the inheritance of their ancestors!"

"Zhao Ning's driving skills are also very superb."

The ancestor of the Zhao family, Zaofu,

He gained wealth and honor by driving the carriage for the King of Zhou.

Qin Jun then laughed even louder.

Subsequently,

Several strong men also carried a tripod together so that he could show his strength.

The tripod was only as high as Qin Jin's waist, and its body was a bit wide and looked very sturdy.

Qin Jin exhaled twice, rubbed his hands, then hugged the tripod. After letting his qi sink into his dantian and slowing down, he groaned and lifted it up.

"it is good!"

The little prince who was held by Qin Jun suddenly shouted when others were shocked by Qin Jin's power, and then imitated the adults just now and clapped his chubby little hands to applaud Qin Jin.

Qin Jun was very surprised. "How could a child who is less than one year old speak so clearly?"

He turned around and said to the ministers beside him, "When I taught him to call me dad before, it was never so powerful and clear!"

finished,

Qin Jun, who couldn't help but be happy, quickly teased him, "Call me daddy!"

As a result, the little prince twisted his body like a worm, refused to pay attention to him, and stared at Qin Jin.

"Alas, your might has taken away my soul!"

"Even my father isn't close to me anymore!"

Qin Jun smiled and even asked Qin Jin to come over to him, "Do you want to hug this kid?"

Qin Jin was a little hesitant, wondering if it would be rude to do so.

As a result, the little prince abandoned his father without hesitation, leaned towards Qin Jin, opened his arms, and wished he could fall into the other's arms.

He looked honest and kind, and his center of gravity shifted out of his arms, so Qin Jun almost couldn't hold him.

At last,
The little prince was transferred to Qin Jin's arms as he wished.

He pinched Qin Jin's hard arm with a look of curiosity, then pinched his own paws, screaming "ah ah" from time to time, and seemed to not understand why there was such a big gap between people.

Qin Jin was so flustered by him that he

The courage and spirit he had before to lift the tripod was completely gone.

When King Qin and the envoys saw this scene, they all laughed out loud.

When the joy subsides,
The King of Qin said to Zhao Hui, "I will send someone to go with you to Luoyi to meet the King of Zhou!"

Zhao Hui bowed in gratitude.

If Qin had not introduced itself as a witness and spoken for Xinxia, even if the Zhou emperor was blinded by money and agreed to their request without investigating the origins of the delegation, the other princes would still pursue the matter.

After all, the glory of Zhuxia,
It's not something that just any person can get.

You say you are a descendant of the Xia people.

The princes still have doubts.
You are a Xia-civilized barbarian like Zhongshan!

This,

This was also the main reason why Xinxia visited Qin State first after entering its ancestral land in order to win the favor of the King of Qin.

of course,

The reason why Qin Jun agreed to speak for them was because he received benefits, not out of simple "common ancestry" feelings.

Xinxia brought a lot of money.
He was also willing to let the Qin State copy a copy of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to deepen its understanding of the Western Regions.

This was enough to save face for the Qin State.
