After formulating the plan of action for the night in the barracks, Meng Tian and Zhao Li decided to take five Mengjia soldiers who were good at hiding and reconnaissance to visit the palace of King Qin at night. Although since Yingzheng became the king of Qin, he has not been to the Lishan Palace once, but the defense work of the palace has not relaxed at all, but has become more rigorous, no one knows what the specific reason is, and no one has seen anyone in the court to say it, perhaps many ministers have forgotten the Lishan Palace.

"Report to the general, we are ready, ready to be dispatched by the general. The five soldiers who were operating at night entered the tent and said to Meng Tian and Zhao Li.

Zhao Li nodded, looked at the sky outside, and said to the five of them: "Okay, I know, the five of you will go back to the tent to rest first, and then come to me at night, and go into the mountain with me to carry out the mission." The five men were ordered to leave the tent and return to their respective barracks to rest, and to recuperate and prepare for the evening's action.

Meng Tian looked at the map of Lishan Palace on the table and thought thoughtfully. The palace is built on the mountainside of Lishan, the scale is not very large, there is only one large hall, there are several side halls, in addition to the enclosure behind the palace, there are some tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, the forbidden place is not far from the place where the beasts are raised. Meng Tian opened his mouth and said: "Brother Zhao, I thought about it for a moment, whether tonight's action was too risky, although we don't know what the crime of trespassing on the forbidden land is, but just entering the palace without permission is already a big crime. ”

Zhao Li looked at Meng Tian and said, "The last general thinks that the forbidden land is of no use to us at all, it's just that it is next to the palace, and you, the general, are the people who are responsible for the safety of the king's side, so going to the forbidden land is also for the sake of the king's safety." If the general does not want to go, the last general will cancel the operation for the evening. ”

Zhao Li is right, what does it have to do with him Meng Tian? All he cares about is why he is next to the palace, if King Yingzheng of Qin arrives at the Lishan Palace, then if something happens, it will be a big trouble. Thinking of this, Meng Tian slapped the table and made up his mind: "Okay, then let's act at night and see what is wrong with this forbidden place." ”

Due to the rain, the day in the mountain is very early, just after the unitary, the sky is already dark, the sky is dark and oppressive, there is no moon, just suitable for night action. Cooking dinner with wild boars caught during the day, Meng Tian and Zhao Li and Du Hui haven't gotten together for a long time, although they also lived in the barracks yesterday, for this morning's hunting, Meng Tian didn't talk to the two of them much, and slept with Zi Yanran early. Today, there was an opportunity, and the three of them finally sat together, drinking and talking. Zi Yanran went back to Xianyang in the afternoon, and in her words, it was a woman who was a little inconvenient in the barracks full of men, so Meng Tian sent her away.

I had to go out at night, and although the three of them sat together, they didn't drink too much. However, Du Hui was on duty in the military camp at night, and was drunk a lot by Meng Tian and Zhao Li, and by the time Meng Tian and Zhao Li were ready to leave, Du Hui was already lying in bed drunk and unconscious.

Meng Tian and Zhao Li left the tent and gathered with the five soldiers at the gate of the barracks, and the seven of them rode fast horses and disappeared into the night of Lishan.

In order not to be discovered by the Qin soldiers guarding the palace, the group did not take the road directly to the palace, but instead picked a mountain road with few people, which happened to surround the palace from outside, and finally broke off next to a hill not far from the forbidden land. This mountain road is the mountain road that Zhao Li took with the elite soldiers of the Mengjia Army for training last time, and it was this road that allowed Zhao Li to discover the location of the forbidden land.

The silence of the mountain road at night gives people an eerie feeling, and a few birdsongs can be heard from time to time, which adds a bit of eerie atmosphere to such a night. Meng Tian and Zhao Li rode horses with five soldiers, and hurried in the dark, relying on Zhao Li's memory beyond ordinary people to lead the way in front, and rode for about two hours, Zhao Li dismounted in front, and at the same time signaled Meng Tian and the six people also dismounted and walked forward. Meng Tian knew that it seemed that he should be approaching the forbidden land, so he dismounted and gathered the horses together, leaving one person here to take care of the horses to respond, and the rest followed Zhao Li towards the forbidden land.

Dismounted and walked not far before they reached the perimeter of the forbidden land. At this time, the location of Meng Tian and the others is on the mountain above the forbidden land, where you can overlook the whole of the entire forbidden land, and the reason why Zhao Li was discovered was because he didn't know that no one was allowed to approach this place, so he was discovered by the guards here, but Zhao Li remembered the terrain here after seeing it once, so this time he took Meng Tian and others to the top of the forbidden land.

Standing above the forbidden land, Meng Tian and Zhao Li looked down, only to see torches lit in the open space below, and many Qin soldiers were distributed around, constantly patrolling back and forth, in addition to many men in civilian clothes pushing carts in and out of the cave below Meng Tian's position, and the carts were filled with sand and gravel.

Meng Tian looked at the situation below, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could this be a newly discovered mine, but if it was a mine, then there shouldn't be so many guards guarding here, not to mention that this place should be classified as a forbidden place and no outsiders should be allowed to enter. Meng Tian continued to look down, wondering what secrets were in the cave below him.

Meng Tian whispered to Zhao Li beside him: "Brother Zhao, is there a way to get a set of military uniforms for the defenders here, I want to go to the cave below to have a look and see what secrets are in this forbidden place." ”

Zhao Li has also been looking at the defense and terrain here, and he said to Meng Tian: "This is a bit difficult, the soldiers here are those soldiers at the foot of the mountain before, although I don't know why they are guarding here, I guess there should be some treasure in the cave, otherwise how can it be regarded as a forbidden place." In the case of uniforms, we can attract one or two soldiers to come over, knock them out, change into their uniforms, and we can sneak in and see what is hidden in the cave. ”

Meng Tian agreed with Zhao Li's method, and then asked him how to attract the soldiers, Zhao Li smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter. After saying that, he took something out of his bosom and put it to his mouth, it turned out to be a whistle. Zhao Li asked the four soldiers to let off steam, and then he quietly left with Meng Tian and went down to the bottom of the mountain. Zhao Li blew the whistle in his hand, and the whistle emitted the cry of a hare, which was heard very clearly in the silent night.

The two Qin soldiers closest to the two heard the sound of a hare, and then glanced at each other, and they could see the heat in each other's eyes. Staying in such a shabby place on this Li Mountain, there is no wine and meat, and there are no women, and even the food is rarely seen without seeing meat. Tonight, I didn't expect to hear the sound of a hare, and I could finally comfort my stomach. Thinking of this, the two of them looked around, and made sure that their commander was not here, and that no one around them noticed them, so they left the place where they were on duty, and walked towards the place where the hare made a sound.

The two Qin soldiers on duty in the forbidden land were holding torches and Changge in their hands, and slowly approached the place where Meng Tian and Zhao Li were. Meng Tian and Zhao Li hid behind two thicker trees, listening to the footsteps and looking at the firelight on the ground, knowing that someone had taken the bait. After the two Qin soldiers walked to Meng Tian and Zhao Li's side, before the two of them found the intruder behind the tree, Meng Tian and Zhao Li took their knives one by one and slashed at the back of their necks, and the two were suddenly hit by people, their eyes were blackened, and then they lay on the ground.

Meng Tian and Zhao Li tied the two of them to two trees respectively, and then tore off two pieces of cloth from their clothes and stuffed them into the mouths of these two unlucky ghosts. Meng Tian and Zhao Li changed into the clothes of the Qin soldiers guarding the forbidden land, then picked up the torches on the ground, and then walked towards the forbidden land, preparing to unlock the true identity of this forbidden place.
