Monument Forest.

Not all Qin soldiers who died on the battlefield can be buried in it. Under the strict assessment of the 19th-level military title system, only those who have made outstanding achievements on the battlefield are lucky enough to enter.

Among them, not everyone at the general level can enter. They must go through strict evaluation and achieve a comprehensive score before they can enter. As for the captain level, I heard that only one person has been buried.

Han Si.

This captain of the Qin Army, who in order to cover his companions' breakout, attracted the encircling enemies to his side, and finally died in a fierce battle, is the role model and pride of all Qin soldiers.

On the way back to Guanzhong from Sanchuan County, Ma Jin heard many strange stories about the Qin soldiers that made his blood boil, and the one that moved him the most was the deeds of Han Si.

"He is a hero. He died in the battle to protect his comrades. He is not a deserter or a prisoner. He is the most respected man I have ever seen. His name is Han Si." At this point, Han Heng's eyes were filled with tears.

It's crystal clear.

"Han Si, haha, it's so ridiculous that there are still people with such tacky names. Wait, what did you say?" Ma Jin sneered. Halfway through the words, he couldn't help but froze.

What a coincidence, they are the same person.

"His name is Han Si. He is the only captain who was buried in the Monument Forest. He is the brother of General Han Xin." Han Heng stared into Ma Jin's eyes and said word by word.

Han Si.

The surname is Han, ranking fourth.

For Han Heng, who was still young at the time, this silent man with an unremarkable name, a somewhat dull personality, and a skillful carpentry was the father who truly gave her a wonderful childhood.

Although there was no blood relationship between them, Han Si used his unique way of caring to give Han Heng and his daughter the most sincere warmth when they were most miserable and helpless.

To this day, she still clearly remembers that when Han Heng and her daughter, who had been hungry for three days, were desperate and mustered up their last bit of courage to push away the small wooden house with oil lamps in Qixian County, the man who was standing there

The young man who was planing the wood with his head down looked surprised. Then, Han Heng saw the most heart-warming smile in her life.

Han Si didn't say anything. He just took off the linen ge clothes that were wrapped around him and covered the shivering Han Heng. After entering the house, a bowl of thick corn rice and a mouthful of hot wild vegetable soup served as these rough

When the food was brought to Han Heng, mother and daughter could no longer control their gratitude.

"My benefactor." Han Heng and his mother knelt down in front of Han Si. They thanked him repeatedly. Unlike his mother who only looked after him and thanked him, Han Heng's sharp eyes clearly saw that there was nothing in the jar filled with millet.

there is none left.

What a gift this is.

Even when he was almost starving, he still took out his last bit of food to help strangers. This kind of heart made Han Heng inexplicably grateful to Han Si from the bottom of his heart.

Han Heng and his daughter had no place to go, so they stayed behind. Han Si followed the Qin army to Yongqi alone, and the family happened to lack a hostess. Under the love of these two people, Han Si and his daughter came together.

Of course, Han Heng's help in the middle is indispensable.

Later, the carpenter man named Han Si took them in. In order to support the two extra people, he got up early and worked in the dark. Every time Han Heng fell asleep, he could still hear his gentle cries while working.

There was a cough. In the village, there was also a talkative woman who suggested to Han Si not to take in women with oil bottles, but Han Si just laughed and disagreed.

Every day.

He was always busy, and the food for his family of three had to be earned with his two hands. Originally, Han Si could live an easy life with enough food for one person and the whole family was not hungry.

Every time she thought of this, Han Heng's eyes became wet. She didn't dare to imagine that on that windy and snowy night, if mother and daughter had locked the door of another house, would they still be as lucky as they are now?

, like many refugees fleeing all the way, they died early on the roadside.

"A Heng, look at the puppet that uncle made for you, does it look like it?" On Han Heng's bedside, the little puppet that Han Si carved all night long for his sixth birthday was lying beside the pillow. Every time he saw it,

It would make Han Heng wet his pillow towel with tears.

Han Si, who died in the battle, received the most generous sympathy from the state of Qin. His house was rebuilt, and every year's grain and other supplies were provided by the government on a regular basis. In addition to these, Han Xin, a distant uncle, was now the king of Qin.

A general would naturally not treat his brother's posthumous son badly.

Father.

This word is too heavy.

Ma Jin went out to fight when Han Heng was one year old. In the little girl's memory, Ma Jin left almost no footprints, but Han Si was different. He was always by his side at the important moments when Han Heng grew up.

More importantly, Han Si left Han Heng the most precious wealth.

Honor and dignity.

Han Heng's clear voice echoed in the quiet room, and the woman's uncontrollable sobs could be heard from time to time. For a woman who once had happiness, even if it was short-lived, it was enough to make her unable to tolerate other people for the rest of her life.

.

Ma Jin was silent.

Coward, deserter, prisoner, these words deeply hurt the scar in his heart that he was most reluctant to uncover. This daughter, who was no longer a stranger, was right, he was a coward and a person who was afraid of death. He had nothing to do with that one.

Compared to his love rival whom I have met and will never meet again, he is far different.

Ma Jin has never been as frustrated as he is now. This is a heroic opponent. His military career is short and ostentatious, but it makes Ma Jin feel helpless.

He was one of the people who followed Shenwu Hou for the longest time. After joining the army, he successfully persuaded the general Han Xin to surrender to the Qin State, making the Qin State have a resourceful general. Later, in the battle of Wugong Mountain

, he also led a small force to contain a large number of enemies, thereby giving friendly forces a chance to escape.

Such deeds, even just listening to them, can make people have ups and downs of thoughts and excitement. Such a love rival, even if he is dead, he cannot compare with Ma Jin.

"Young mother, A Heng, you are all alive and well, and your brother is here too. I'm leaving." Ma Jin's eyes darkened, and while putting down the little boy, he picked up a few pieces of clothing from the ground.

Survival.

Ma Jin, who thought he had returned to his own home, suddenly discovered at this moment that this was no longer his home, but now he had broken into someone else's home.

leave.

In the blink of an eye, four years later, everything has changed.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the group of brothers in the army. Ma Jin turned around and strode towards the dirt road he came from. The road was ahead, and he wanted to fight for his share of glory.

"Father, Dad, where are you going?" When they reached the fork at the entrance of the village, a thin figure stumbled after Ma Jin and shouted.

No matter what?

No matter how much I hate it?

Blood is thicker than water. As the background of Ma Jin's departure became farther and farther away and became smaller and smaller, Han Heng's nose felt sour and there was a light mist in his eyes.

"Ah Heng, are you calling me? My father is going to Chang'an. First, he will pay homage to brother Sao Han and thank him for taking care of you. Then, my father will go to Hulao Pass in Sanchuan County to join the army. You will wait at home for the good news about my father.

"Ma Jin squeezed out a smile and smiled at Han Heng.

Han Heng finally called him father.

This made the last bit of unhappiness in Ma Jin's heart disappear. To be honest, over the years, like all the men of the Qin State, he kept moving from one battlefield to another, and the time he really spent at home was very rare. Han

It is extremely normal for Heng not to kiss him.

"Girl, let me tell you, grandma, it's all my fault. I don't blame him." Ma Jin stepped forward, touched Ma Heng's hair, and said lovingly.

Perhaps, no matter how hard he works in this life, he will never be able to compare with Han Si, but Ma Jin still wants to join the army. This is not only his wish, but also for him to continue living, avenge the Chu State, and take back the humiliation of the past few years.

motivation.

——.

Ma Jin has crossed his emotional threshold.

Chang'an City, Shenwuhou Mansion.

The halberd man responsible for the security of the palace will be dismissed from his post by Li Yuan's order and sent to Longxi to guard the frontier. A general who has no eyesight and does not know who is really in charge is not suitable to stay in a sensitive place like Chang'an.

From Chen Ping and Yan Le, Li Yuan finally got a thorough understanding of the sudden appearance of the "third party" Ying. The seventh princess of King Ying Zhaoxiang had a somewhat strange experience. When she came of age, this strange person

This old man is not dead yet. Before his death, this old man who had a glorious life did a "good deed".

After a certain drinking session, King Zhuang Xiang betrothed the Seventh Princess to a Marquis of the same clan who had the habit of Longyang. Naturally, such a marriage would not be happy, and Marquis Longyang was also very decadent.

He was about to lose everything left by his ancestors. Originally, the First Emperor, as his cousin, could continue to support him, but Long Yanghou wasted his fortune too quickly. Finally, in a fit of rage, the First Emperor sent Long Yang to the throne.

Yanghou's family was demoted to the Yuguo area of ​​Hanzhong County.

It's a blessing in disguise.

Precisely because he was demoted early and had few assets, the Ying family escaped several suppressions by the anti-Qin princes. Finally, after learning that Qin was becoming stronger again, the Ying family hurriedly took an ox cart to Chang'an.

Ying Yushu had also heard about the Ying family. After learning that her maternal uncle was still alive, Ying Yushu, who was in urgent need of comfort during her pregnancy, immediately believed her.

This is what happened.

Chen Ping, the prime minister, was not very clear about what happened in the palace. The operation of the state machinery of Da Qin had already taken up most of his energy. Because he was the former son-in-law of former prime minister Zhao Gao, Yan Le had no idea about what was going on in the palace.

I have always kept a respectful distance from other things, and I don’t want to get involved in them.

The secret fight between Qin and Chu during this period also kept Yan Le very busy. Xiang Tuo and Xiang Sheng of the Chu State were not easy opponents to deal with.

How can we drive away the old godly woman Ying Shi, and at the same time, prevent Ying Yushu's mood from violently recurring, thus affecting the production? Faced with this problem, Li Yuan felt embarrassed for the first time that he had no idea what to do.

What should I do?

Such a seemingly inconspicuous intra-family battle suddenly gave Li Yuan the feeling of going to the battlefield again and fighting a bloody battle with the enemy. (To be continued...)
