Chapter 78 Xiang Yu's Worries

Ying Yinman is now very curious about Zhao Yi.

After she finished reading the story given by Ying Zheng, her curiosity deepened.

What kind of person is Zhao Yi?
I can write such wonderful stories that are different in every article.

Also, the gods and demons in the story are described so realistically.

No way, that Zhao Yi really was the deity from heaven in the story who descended to earth.

Ying Yinman really wanted to meet Zhao Yi as soon as possible.

A similar thing happened to Wang Jian.

It’s just that because Wang Jian was a military general, he acted more decisively.

His granddaughter Wang Yujia was also influenced by Wang Jian and acted in a heroic manner.

Wang Jian told Wang Yujia everything he could about Zhao Yi.

Of course, Wang Jian would definitely not tell his granddaughter the secrets related to gunpowder.

After listening to this, Wang Yujia only had some thoughts in her mind.

Is my grandfather lying to me?
If it wasn't himself who was deceived, then it was Grandpa and His Majesty who were deceived.

To be honest, Wang Yujia personally felt that it would be better for her to believe that her grandfather and His Majesty were deceived than to believe that a three-year-old child could do so many things.

The latter is more likely than the former.

However, Wang Yujia couldn't refute her grandfather.

After all, Wang Jian was telling him these things so seriously.

It doesn't look like a joke at all.

After listening to this, Wang Yujia also wanted to see what Zhao Yi was like.

To be treated like this by my grandfather and His Majesty.

Is there really such a god in the world?

……

At this time, Zhao Yi was still busy with his rebellion.

After several days of rush work, the village craftsmen finally made two human-powered rail vehicles.

Two human-powered rail cars will be used in laying the tracks.

They will carry supplies from the already laid railways to the front for railway laying.

The construction of railways will be greatly accelerated.

The next day, Zhao Yi asked someone to bring the human-powered rail car to Shaqiu County.

After seeing the human-powered rail vehicle, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian began to sigh.

Ying Zheng: "How many good things does Zhao Yi have?"

Wang Jian was surprised and said: "This rail car can not only be pulled by people but also by horses. It is so convenient."

"Yes, they just casually took out a rail car. This is just a tool for building railways, so what kind of amazing thing will the train running on the constructed railway be?" Ying Zheng exclaimed.

He couldn't wait to see the train that Zhao Yi mentioned.

"I think the train Zhao Yi is building will definitely shock the Qin Dynasty."

"It seems that Zhao Yi has done too many things that shocked the Qin Dynasty." Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head.

In fact, the human-powered rail vehicle was something that surprised Ying Zheng and Wang Jian very much.

It was the first time they had seen such a sophisticated creation.

A car that can be driven by human power only.

This is completely different from a cart pulled by a horse or a cart pulled by a person.

It relies on mechanical mechanisms to convert human power into the vehicle's forward force.

Ying Zheng has already thought of where this rail car can be used.

For example, in a mine, you just need to lay the railway and then deploy a human-powered rail car.

This allows rail cars to carry the ore, rather than requiring human labor to carry the ore out step by step.

Carrying something on one's back is never as convenient as transporting it on wheels.

The rail cars will greatly increase the ore output of the Daqin mining area.

Once the ore output increases, it means that the weapons output of Daqin can also increase.

But there is only one problem - that is, the technology to manufacture railway tracks is only available in Shahe Village.

Hey~
We still have to find a way to make Zhao Yi give up his thoughts of rebellion.

I wonder which one of Yu Ji, Yin Man and Wang Jian’s granddaughter can really defeat Zhao Yi?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng turned and asked Wang Jian.

"Wang Jian, have you talked to your granddaughter?"

Wang Jian replied, "Your Majesty, I have already made an agreement with your granddaughter."

Ying Zheng continued to remind him: "Remember to disguise your identity well and keep your story consistent. Otherwise, Zhao Yi would become suspicious and our identities would be exposed."

Wang Jian nodded and said, "I have already told my granddaughter everything I know. I will definitely not reveal my identity."

"I am relieved if you say so. In that case, bring your granddaughter to watch Yu Ji's performance tomorrow."

The performance that Ying Zheng was talking about was a performance that Yu Ji planned to hold after studying and training for this period of time.

The performance was held in the brothel.

Plus this show is intimate.

Apart from Zhao Yi's people from Shahe Village, only a few people from Ying Zheng's side could go and see.

If it weren't for the fact that there are too many things in Shahe Village that are inconvenient to expose, Zhao Yi would have held the performance in Shahe Village.

But Yu Ji can be trusted, but the other musicians in the caravan may not be trustworthy.

In fact, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were very much looking forward to this performance.

After all, the story written by Zhao Yi is definitely extraordinary.

Add in the fact that the lead actress is Yu Ji, and there's no doubt that this performance will be great.

……

On the other side, Xiang Yu and his entourage have already marched into Donghai County and are heading to the target gathering point. Their army will arrive at the target location tomorrow.

Xiang Yu was also approaching the target location and felt uneasy.

He sensed something was about to happen.

Xiang Yu then turned around and said, "Uncle, I suggest that we slow down the march. After all, we will reach our destination tomorrow. It would be better not to tire everyone out."

Xiang Liang was a little puzzled and asked: "Xiang Yu, what's wrong with you this time? You were not like this before."

"This is not your first deployment. We will definitely have some rest after we reach the target location. If you slow down your march now and miss the assembly time, you will be held accountable."

"By then, let alone the military merits we want, we might even be demoted." Xiang Liang said seriously.

Xiang Yu said anxiously: "But uncle, I really feel something is wrong this time. This is too hasty. Why does the court need us to suppress the bandits in Donghai County? What if this is a conspiracy of the court?"

"Lure us into Donghai County and then encircle and suppress us?"

Xiang Liang retorted: "How is that possible? You must be overthinking it."

"If you really think so, a large army would have attacked us on the first night we arrived in Donghai County."

"In my opinion, most of the bandits in Donghai County are probably colluding with local officials, so the higher-ups sent our Kuaiji County army to suppress the bandits."

"But..." Xiang Yu was about to continue speaking.

Xiang Liang raised his hand to stop him, "Xiang Yu, you must be overthinking. Do you believe that in order to wipe out our army, the Qin Dynasty will need to mobilize at least 10,000 troops."

"If there was a troop movement of this magnitude, how could we not have received the news?"

"So Xiang Yu, don't think too much. Let's quickly reach the target location so that we can prepare to suppress the bandits."

Seeing Xiang Liang's determination, Xiang Yu had no choice but to continue on his way...
