Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 140 Zhao Tuo
The Yuezhi people saw the terror of the Qin army, and the Dianke Mansion officials, who were instructed by Zhao Yi, made a series of rude demands during the negotiations, and all of them were met.

Among these rude demands was that all captured soldiers be sent back to Xianyang to serve as laborers.

"His Royal Highness, the Xiongnu and Yueshi captives from Jiuyuan have been transported outside Xianyang City, waiting for your release!" Dongfang Bubai stepped forward to report.

As soon as Zhao Yi heard that the matter of money had arrived, he immediately stood up, waved his big hand and said, "Let's go, prepare your horse, go and have a look!"

"Yes!" Dongfang Bubai immediately made arrangements, but he was a little curious that Zhao Yi valued a group of prisoners so much.

Zhao Yi didn't bother to explain to him, the group went straight out of the city, and saw Yang Duanhe leading [-] soldiers, leading a long team of captives, walking slowly towards Xianyang.

Seeing Zhao Yi's flag, Yang Duanhe hurried forward to salute. Zhao Yi and Yang Duanhe were old acquaintances, waved their hands in return, and then asked, "General Yang's return trip went well?"

Zhao Yi was just saying polite words, but he didn't expect Yang Duanhe to look sad, "Your Highness, you don't know that something big happened almost on this return trip."

"When my soldiers and horses passed through the mountains on the edge of Shu, they encountered a large number of bandits. Fortunately, the soldiers in our army used their lives, otherwise these prisoners would have to run away!"

"Oh? There's another matter!" Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect banditry in Da Qin to be so rampant now. Even the officers and soldiers dared to rob it. Is there such chaos in Shu?
At this time, Yang Duanhe introduced a young general to Zhao Yi, "His Royal Highness, it is him. Thanks to this little brother who led the rear army to fight to the death, I was able to turn the corner. Otherwise, Xianyang City would never even think about coming back."

Zhao Yi looked at Yang Duan and the young general beside him. The other party was not very strong, but he had a heroic look on his face, revealing an extraordinary aura.

"What's your name? What is your official title now?" Zhao Yi didn't take it seriously, but just asked casually.

All I heard was that the young general bowed to salute himself and said: "Reporting to His Royal Highness, the last general Zhao Tuo is now under the command of General Yang, and he is the centurion of the supply battalion!"

"Zhao Tuo?" Zhao Yi's eyes lit up instantly, "You said you were Zhao Tuo? Are you from Hengshan?"

Zhao Tuo was taken aback when he heard Zhao Yi's question, "How did His Royal Highness know? I am from Zhending County, Hengshan."

Yang Duanhe on the side looked strange when he heard this. The prince was not a person who easily became interested in people or things around him. Why did he suddenly change when he saw Zhao Tuo?
Zhao Yi was full of ecstasy. At first he was thinking how to find Zhao Tuo, but he didn't expect to meet him here by such a coincidence.

The majestic future Emperor Wu of Nanyue is now only a centurion in the Great Qin Supply Battalion, what a waste of talent!

"Okay, not bad, he's a good soldier!" Zhao Yi looked directly at Yang Duanhe, "You soldier, I just fell in love with him, and he will be the chief guard of the Prince's Mansion in the future. General Yang won't have any objection?"

"Ah?" Yang Duanhe and Zhao Tuo were both stunned, they really didn't expect Zhao Yi to say such a word suddenly.

Zhao Tuo is indeed good, but it is limited to high force, and there is nothing special about it at all.

Yang Duanhe didn't understand why Zhao Yi fell in love with Zhao Tuo, but since the crown prince spoke, there was no reason for him not to obey.

After Zhao Tuo was shocked, he was full of excitement. The chief guard of the Prince's Mansion will be a close minister of the emperor in the future, and he must have more opportunities in the future, so he immediately bowed his head to Zhao Yina.

Seeing that the captive finally took Zhao Tuo, Zhao Yi lost all interest in the captive in an instant, and ordered Dongfang Bubai to take the captive, and then took Zhao Tuo back to the Prince's Mansion first.

After Yang Duanhe finished the delivery with Dongfang Bubai and returned to the Taiwei Mansion in the palace to return to his command, he happened to meet Zhang Han.

Zhang Han and Yang Duanhe were colleagues who used to work at Heibingtai. Seeing Yang Duanhe returning to Xianyang, Zhang Han wanted to invite him to dinner and take him in by the way.

Yang Duanhe was naturally willing, and then the two went to the restaurant, ordered a table of dishes, and talked nonsense while eating and drinking.

As a result, Yang Duanhe mentioned that when Zhao Yi was outside the city just now and promoted a heavy soldier under his command to be the chief guard of the Prince's Mansion, Zhang Han's expression changed instantly.

"What did you say? You said your soldier was Zhao Tuo?" Zhang Han grabbed Yang Duanhe's arm.

Yang Duanhe was taken aback instantly, "What's wrong? Then what's wrong with Zhao Tuo? I still have his military records here!"

As he said that, Yang Duanhe took out the album made in the army, and Zhang Han snatched it away. Under Yang Duanhe's guidance, he quickly found Zhao Tuo's name.

Zhao Tuo, whom Ying Zheng asked him to look for for a long time, did not expect to appear here.

"Zhang Han, what's wrong with you? What did Zhao Tuo commit?" Knowing that Heibingtai would not value someone so much for no reason, Yang Duanhe asked cautiously.

"It's okay!" Zhang Han laughed happily, "You have a good meal. I can't help but pay for the drinks today. I've already paid for the drinks. I'll catch you next time!"

With that said, Zhang Han hurried back to the palace with the album in hand, leaving Yang Duan and a man alone, and looked stupidly at the table full of wine and dishes.

Soon, under the guidance of Zhang Han, Ying Zheng arrived at the Prince's Mansion, and happened to see Zhao Yi and Zhao Tuo who had returned to the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

"Who is Zhao Tuo?" Ying Zheng stepped forward and asked immediately.

Seeing Zhao Tuo standing in front of Zhao Yi, who looked unusual, Ying Zheng stepped forward and asked, "Are you Zhao Tuo?"

Zhao Yi didn't understand the reason why Ying Zheng appeared here, but when he saw that Ying Zheng went straight to Zhao Tuo as soon as he came, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and quickly stopped between Zhao Tuo and Ying Zheng, "Father, that ..."

"Go aside first, I won't look for you!" Ying Zheng pulled Zhao Yi aside directly, and Zhao Yi was instantly stunned.

Hearing what Ying Zheng called himself and what Zhao Yi called Ying Zheng, Zhao Tuo didn't know who was standing in front of him, and immediately knelt down on the ground, "Long live my emperor..."

"Get up, don't be too polite!" Ying Zheng interrupted Zhao Tuo directly, and helped him up from the ground himself, "You are easy for me to find, um, yes, you are so young!"

From Zhao Yi's voice, Ying Zheng has never forgotten Zhao Tuo since he knew Zhao Tuo. Now that he sees Zhao Tuo, how can he let him run away.

"Quickly, tell me, what position do you hold in the army now?"

"Uh..." Zhao Tuo looked surprised, why did Zhao Yi ask himself just now, and His Majesty the Emperor came to ask again?

But Zhao Tuo replied honestly: "Reporting to the emperor, the last general is now only the centurion of the supply battalion."

"Centurion?" Ying Zheng waved his hand, "How can such a talent be left in the transport camp to be a centurion? It is a waste of resources. Come directly to the palace, I will let you be a centurion!"

ah?Zhao Tuo and Zhao Yi were stunned when they heard the words...
