Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Chapter 123 Hu Hai's Transformation

After refusing the offer, Xiang Yu seemed to feel much less pressure.

He didn't focus all his attention on military books, but instead turned his attention to Tang Yu and Zhang Liang.

"What do you think should be done about the potatoes and sweet potatoes? Should we try to stop the Qin state?"

Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Tang Yu raised his head and spoke.

"Brother, these potatoes and sweet potatoes were invented by the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu. We don't yet know how effective they are or what the results of planting them will be."

"Moreover, if it really works, then it can not only be an aid to the Qin state, but also an effective weapon for us to resist the Qin state!"

"Why don't we let the people of Qin test the waters for us first, and then make our move when they see real results?"

Tang Yu actually had ulterior motives when he said that.

After all, it would be very troublesome if the first time they promoted potatoes and sweet potatoes, they encountered different obstacles in different regions.

Although the issues are all minor and solvable, they feel like toads crawling on the back of your foot...

It doesn't bite, but it's disgusting!

Tang Yu didn't want to cause any more trouble.

So he spoke from a seemingly fair and just perspective, considering the interests of the people of the six states, which immediately made Xiang Yu nod in satisfaction.

He then looked up at Tang Yu and Zhang Liang.

“I think Zilong makes sense. Besides, it’s still unknown whether this completely new and unseen grain can be successfully processed.”

"What if Tang Yu fails? Wouldn't that give me a chance to laugh at him? Hahaha!!"

Tang Yu: ……

Goodness, he figured it out.

After he had given Xiang Yu a sound beating last time, Xiang Yu harbored a deep resentment towards him!

Alas, it seems that I have ultimately drifted apart from this good brother.

Tang Yu shook his head, thinking regretfully.

After all, he had already tried very hard to control the force of his attack last time, so as not to shatter Xiang Yu's Dao heart.

But now it seems that the action was a bit too harsh.

……

"Your Majesty, I wish to go to the army in the northern frontier for training!"

"I want to guard the border and become a soldier of my Great Qin, so that I can hone my martial skills for fighting on the battlefield!"

Hu Hai came alone to Ying Zheng, knelt on the ground and spoke earnestly.

"What? Say it again?"

Ying Zheng rarely lost his composure, but upon hearing Hu Hai's request, he looked at him with a completely bewildered expression.

After all, Hu Hai had never suffered any hardship in the palace since childhood, and was usually a fearless and mischievous child.

Otherwise, no matter how Zhao Gao abducted them, they could not have turned out to be such an outrageous thing in the future.

But now Hu Hai has actually taken the initiative to request to be transferred to the border? And he even said he wanted to become a soldier?

This military base is one of the most difficult places to work, how could this be?

"Your Majesty, I wish to travel to the border and request your permission!"

Hu Hai straightened up, staring intently at Ying Zheng with an unusually firm gaze.

At this moment, Ying Zheng's mind was also racing. Why was it Hu Hai who wanted to go to the border?

According to historical developments, it should be that Fusu himself wanted to go to the border, or that he was driven there by himself...

Why is this happening?

Could it be that Hu Hai has learned of the course of history and wants to go to the border to lead troops? So he can rebel?

It wasn't that Ying Zheng was thinking the worst about his child, but rather that Hu Hai was a boy we had to be wary of!

After all, this guy is a ruthless person who will wipe out his entire Qin royal family in the future!

He looked up at Hu Hai, feeling somewhat surprised and uncertain, but ultimately chose to ask directly.

Why do you want to go to the border? What is your purpose in going there?

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Hu Hai in front of him.

If the other party reveals even half of something unusual, or if there is even half of something wrong in their expression.

Not only would he not allow the other party to change his status, but he would also transfer the other party away from Fusu's side and then put him under house arrest for life!

But facing Ying Zheng's gaze, Hu Hai not only did not flinch, but instead raised his head and said with unusual determination in his eyes.

"Because I still want to go to the border, become a general of my Great Qin, and become the sharpest sword of my Great Qin!"

"Come and slay the powerful enemy for my brother Fusu, and forever guard the borders of my Qin state!"

"What? Is this really true?"

Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at Hu Hai in disbelief.

He was still somewhat puzzled after noticing the other person's extremely firm tone.

Is this child mentally challenged? Or did he take the wrong medicine?

Ying Zheng always believed in what Mr. Tang told him about the future.

But Hu Hai's current behavior left him feeling slightly bewildered, while Hu Hai raised his little head.

"Father, I was previously tempted and instigated by that eunuch Zhao Gao, which caused me to develop hostility towards my elder brother!"

"But instead of kicking me when I was down, my elder brother rescued me from the darkness, and I saw my only light!"

"At that time, I vowed to become the best brother in my elder brother's life and to help him build the Qin Kingdom into a true golden age!"

"Therefore, I must ask my father to grant my request!"

Finally, when Hu Hai, a small man, walked out of Zhang Taigong's room, Ying Zheng looked at his back with a somewhat complicated expression.

Tears streamed down that old face, which was usually impassive and dignified.

"Mr. Tang, how fortunate I am to have met you!"

"This is truly a blessing for me, a blessing for the Great Qin!"

Tang Yu was still chatting and joking with Xiang Yu and the others, cursing the vicious Ying Zheng.

Suddenly, I heard a ding-dong sound in my mind.

"Huh?? Another reward??"

He pretended to be somewhat lost in thought while drinking, and directly channeled his consciousness into the system.

But to his surprise, he saw something in the system that he had never seen before.

A tiny doll!

This doll looks a bit like the Teru Teru Bozu doll from Japan in later generations, and Tang Yu doesn't know what its function is.

But suddenly, the system's voice sounded from the side.

This is a substitute doll; its sole purpose is to allow the person bound to it to die once in their place.

This item is for single use only and must be discarded immediately after use!

What? A scapegoat??

The moment Fang Ming saw the doll's function, his expression changed drastically.

Because the items rewarded by this system are definitely not given out for no reason, but there is a real reason for them.

A substitute death? Doesn't that mean...?
