The carriage made two deep grooves in the thick snow, and walked towards a town not far away, this town is not large, located between two mountains, a street can be seen from this end to the other, there are about a hundred or so households, although it is daytime, but there is no ghost shadow on the street, which can be seen from the snow on the street, smooth and clean, people are in the cat winter.

Gou Yi, who often sneaks into the Han land, has some emotion, such a scene is absolutely not seen in the Han land, whether it is a harsh winter or a scorching summer, those Han people always seem to have something to do, even if they walk on the street, they are in a hurry, and often see all kinds of people in the restaurant, like the reincarnation of the evil ghost, three or two times to clean a few bowls of rice, stand up and pay the bill and leave. In their words, time is money!

Also, in the Han Kingdom, no matter what season or weather, people can always find a way to make money, unlike their own side, such weather, except for nesting in the house, there is really nothing to do.

"General, this is on the edge of our controlled area." The horse walked to the side of the carriage and said to the inside of the carriage.

"I know, it's okay, the people I made an appointment to meet here, and after entering the town, I will see a Juyi Inn." Lu Chao's voice came from the carriage, and it sounded like he had just woken up.

"Understood."

The carriage that drove into the town did not cause any waves, and when he walked to the middle of the town, Gou Yi saw the Juyi Inn, stepped into the gate, the temperature inside the house was almost the same as outside, a middle-aged man wrapped in a thick cotton jacket was curling up in a ball, shrunk behind the counter and dozed off.

"Shopkeeper's. Stay. Gou Yi walked to the counter and struck the counter with a horsewhip, scaring the middle-aged man into a jump.

Rubbing his eyes, the middle-aged man came to his senses, what kind of guests would be there at this time of the previous year. But today it seems that luck is good, and there are more than a dozen guests who come in this wave.

"Guest officer, how many houses do you want?" The middle-aged man's face immediately appeared with a professional flattering smile.

"Your inn, we've got it all." Gou Yi took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the counter with a bang, "Our son likes to be quiet, and he doesn't like to be disturbed, do you have any other customers in this store?" ”

"It's gone, it's gone. When this dog doesn't go out, where are the guests? The middle-aged shopkeeper blurted out, and after finishing speaking, he saw that the faces of the guests opposite instantly turned blue, and he reacted suddenly, dogs don't go out, isn't this scolding these people outside for not even being as good as dogs?

The embarrassed middle-aged man opened his mouth wide, babbled a few words, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself. "Look at my mouth, it's really a dog's mouth. You're a big man, don't be weird, don't be weird. ”

Gou Yi was angry in his heart, and was about to have a seizure, when Lu Chao's voice came from behind him: "Forget it, come all the way." It was also so cold that the shopkeeper immediately sent charcoal fire to the room and boiled some hot water. ”

"Yes, Childe." Gou Fang hurriedly agreed and turned around. looked at the shopkeeper: "Be careful, if you slack off, be careful that I knock out your teeth." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the little one will send the guest officers upstairs, this cold day, I thought there were no guests, the helper's little two were sent back, there were only two of us in the store, you rest first, immediately make a fire, boil water."

Led everyone into the inside, but the bungalows were built on the mountain, enclosing a rather large yard, in the middle is the horse shed, the horses and carriages brought by Gou Yi and his party, but there is no place to put them, everyone entered the room, and they heard the shopkeeper shouting that his mother-in-law hurriedly made a fire and boiled water.

Wisps of green smoke rose from the inn's chimney and soared upward.

There were very few guests in the inn this season, and naturally there were no dishes prepared, and ten good guests came at once, and the boss made a difficulty, but fortunately, these guests looked vicious, and he didn't say much about his actual snubbing, Gou Yi and his party brought their own dry food, and just asked the boss to make some hot food for Lu Chao and the woman and a child with the woman.

In the small town of the mountains, there is naturally nothing to get hold of, but it is just some mountain delicacies, but for Lu Chao, it is rare to eat this kind of farmhouse stir-fry, but it is also eaten with relish, remember the last time I ate, it should be when I traveled with the master in various countries.

Thinking of Li Ru, the master who had already traveled to Xianyou, a faint sadness appeared in Lu Chao's eyes, and the changes in his life should have followed this teacher. If there was no him, there would be no current self, he laid a good foundation for himself to enter the political arena, and at the same time he is his most solid backing, after he leaves, everything will have to rely on himself.

In an instant, it was already dark outside, the winter weather was dark early, an oil lamp in the house was burning dimly, the brazier was burning cheap charcoal, there was a choking smoke, Lu Chao couldn't stand it, and kept drinking boiling water, moistening his somewhat dry throat.

No wonder people in the world say that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, thinking that when I returned from Shannan County to stay in prison, it was a luxury to even eat a hot and hungry meal, at that time, I only hoped to be able to get out of the prison alive, and how could I have thought that today's self can stir up the political situation in Daqin.

At that time, Great Qin really stomped his feet, and the entire continent would tremble a few times. But in just more than ten years, it is already a matter of things and people, think about yourself, you are also a thirty-seven or eighty-eight person, and you will run forty when you see it, and your opponent is seven or eight years younger than yourself, if you don't get up, you can't catch up with him.

How can I lose to you? Lu Chao thought silently, from childhood to adulthood, he is stronger than you, although you look strong now, I will definitely surpass you.

Gou Yi sat silently across from him, restacking the charcoal in the brazier from time to time to make sure the fire burned more vigorously. Although he is now the head of the Eagle Department and is in charge of Lu Chao's most secret affairs, he doesn't even know who he wants to see here today, and it is obvious that the general still has many things that he doesn't know.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance up at Lu Chao.

"You're wondering who I'm coming to see, aren't you?" As if he had guessed through Gouyi's thoughts, Lu Chao asked softly.

Gou Yi's body trembled slightly, and he nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then why don't you ask?"

"When the general wants me to know, he will naturally let me know." Gou Yi Dao.

Lu Chao laughed, "Let you follow me today, naturally I want you to get to know him, it's getting closer and closer to the date of our launch, you have to know this person, I didn't let you know before, it's because in the Eagle Department, there is not necessarily no other person's eyeliner, we can penetrate others, and others can naturally penetrate us." ”

"General, I can assure you that the Eagle Department is absolutely clean." Gou Yi hurriedly said.

"I don't blame you, it's just cautious, because this man must not let people know his identity when we launch it, and he has always been a one-way connection with me, and there are only two contacts between me and him, one on his side and the other on my side. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time. Lu Chao closed his eyes.

"General, since we haven't seen each other for a long time, will he have any other thoughts now?" Gou Yi asked.

Lu Chao shook his head slightly, "You don't know him, naturally you will have this kind of thought, but I won't." ”

Gou Yi nodded.

With a squeak, the window opened without wind, and Gouyi's hair stood upside down, jumped up, and blocked Lu Chao sideways.

"Don't be nervous!" Lu Chao got up with a smile and stretched out his hand to pick up Gou Yi, at the same time, a face appeared outside the window, seeing that face, Gou Yi was like seeing a ghost, the whole person stayed there, and the blood in his whole body was almost frozen.

The person who came turned out to be the head of the Black Ice Terrace, the head of the largest secret spy agency in the Qin State, Mingtai.

"Come in, it's windy outside." Lu Chao said with a smile.

Mingtai swept in through the window like a ghost, and closed the window with his hand. "General, your defense is really not very good, I came in all the way like this, and your guards didn't even notice it."

"That's because I ordered that no matter what noise I hear today, I am not allowed to come out or move." Lu Chao smiled: "Of course, a skill like you Mingtai is also rare in this world." ”

Mingtai walked over and sat directly opposite Lu Chao, "General, my time is limited, I finally found an excuse to come out alone, I must rush back at dawn." ”

"There's enough time." Lu Chao nodded, and turned his head to look at Gou Yi: "What are you doing here, don't hurry up and pour a cup of hot tea for Commander Ming, it's hard for you to rush along the way." ”

"Hard work is nothing, before launching, I must meet you and confirm all the details, this thing is not a joke, a bad one, or the end of the death of the family, and it has to affect the lives of countless people in the family." Mingtai shook his head. "Which side of you, are you sure?"

"It's almost, the ordnance, grain and grass are ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing, now I'm looking at you!" Lu Chao said: "What about you, the Black Ice Platform is not monolithic, right?" ”

"In the past few years, I have been able to clean up everything, I really can't clean it up, I will find an excuse to send it out when the time comes, and when it is launched, I will not allow there are forces in the Black Ice Platform that I can't control."

"The key is timing, I don't care about the recruits that Bai Qi trained, the key is 30,000 Xuanyi guards, if this matter is done badly, Xianyang City, which is guarded by 30,000 Xuanyi guards, I really don't have the confidence to take it down. The key to success or failure in this matter is in your hands. Lu Chao said: "If you are not sure, you must be calm." ”

The two lowered their voices to speak, but they couldn't imagine how the head of the Black Ice Terrace, the most trusted spy leader of Ying Ying, could be linked to the general, looking at their appearance, but they had already been premeditated. (To be continued......)
