Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered. ------Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi "Farewell to the Ancient Grass"

It is said that Zhong Xuan returned to his heart, regardless of his personal safety, and resolutely decided to compile an intelligence network for Chen Long in Chang'an to resist Dong Zhuo. Chen Long was overjoyed and promised Zhong Xiang to help him take care of the family in recognition of Zhong Xuan's loyalty.

In Chen Long's heart, there is another thing on his mind, Chang'an is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, the eastern starting point of the Silk Road, and Chen Long has seen "The Story of Qin" in later generations, and has long admired the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, not to mention, Chen Long knows that under the ancient city of Xianyang on the edge of the Wei River, there are gorgeous * and rare treasures of the terracotta warriors and horses.

Before Chen Long left Chang'an, he must go to the place where the terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed to have a look, step on it, and learn about the general situation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang at the end of the Han Dynasty. So, he pulled Zhang Ning, who was wearing a heavy veil, and went out of the North Hengmen in the name of wandering around the east and west cities, and saw the high dirt slope on the opposite side of the moat.

Chen Long was fascinated, and Zhang Ning both stepped on the horses and ran all the way to the dirt slope. The withered grass on the soil slope is everywhere, dumped with the wind, the sun is everywhere, the autumn wind sweeps by, and the wild grass is like a wave surging, showing the original color of the barren.

Life is a life, grass and trees are autumn. The grass on the plains is barren and the years are withered. Chen Long surged with the pride of reminiscing about the past and thinking about the present, as well as his deep admiration for Qin Shi Huang, and his heart was full of enthusiasm, just like Cao Cao faced the sea that day, and wrote a poem: "Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered." Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. ”

Chen Long and Zhang Ning rode side by side, stopping in the middle of the barren grass, looking like silhouettes in the sun from a distance. Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Ning took off his veil, and said with a fascinated look in his eyes: "Long Lang, this poem is so affectionate, it tells the ups and downs of the prosperity of the world. I always feel that your splendid beauty is deeply hidden, and the exit is a chapter, which makes me want to stop, and I only love Longlang for a lifetime. No, it's not too much to love you for a few more lifetimes. ”

Chen Long knew that he had committed the mistake of pirating Tang poems and Song lyrics again, and his old face was slightly red and said: "Such a beautiful scenery makes me admire it in my heart." As for poetry, it is as if God has sent it from heaven. ”

After that, he opened the topic and said: "Mei Niang, do you know about Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages?" His mausoleum is at our feet. ”

Zhang Ning said in a loud voice: "It turns out that you took me to see the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang." I only know that his martial arts are world-renowned, he unified the six countries, and proclaimed himself the first emperor. The rest is not much more. ”

Chen Long showed a look of remembrance, looked at the barren grass from afar, and said: "About 400 years ago, Qin Shi Huang won the government, and at the age of 22, he began to personally manage the government. At that time, it was also the power of the ministers, Yingzheng turned over to get rid of Lü Buwei, Chang Yu and others, reused Li Si and Wei Yi, and successively destroyed the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi, and completed the great cause of unifying China at the age of 39, established a powerful country with centralized power - the Qin Dynasty, and laid the boundaries of China itself. ”

Seeing Zhang Ning listening attentively, Long Chen continued: "The situation under Fang today is that after a long time, it must be united, and if it is long, it must be divided. The warlords in various places were divided and not controlled by the Han court, which was equivalent to the Six Kingdoms during the Warring States Period. If anyone can put things right and lead the army to unify China again, he will be on a par with Qin Shi Huang. However, the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty must be replaced by a policy of sympathy for the people, so as not to die like the tyrannical Qin. ”

Zhang Ning said with a smile: "Long Lang, I wonder if Qin Shi Huang's attitude towards his wife and children has changed after he unified the world?" ”

Chen Long asked the string song and knew the meaning of elegance, knowing that Zhang Ning was laughing at himself, jumped up from the saddle, landed on Zhang Ning's horse, hugged Zhang Ning's waist and said, "You don't believe that I can control my original intention?" How is my devotion to you today, to show my husband? "It's a matter of going up and down.

Although Zhang Ning had transformed into a beautiful young woman early, she was attacked by Chen Long in broad daylight, even if there was no one in the four fields, she still panicked and was shocked, only to understand what the field battle in Chen Long's mouth was, she was ashamed in her heart, and slammed it back with her elbow, Chen Long let out an exaggerated scream, fell from behind the horse's buttocks, and fell into the weeds in the wasteland.

Zhang Ning was startled, thinking that he had shot too hard, so he hurriedly dismounted and watched. The barren grass covered up Long Chen's traces, Zhang Ning took a closer look at the barren grass, and suddenly a strange hand stretched out beside him, pulling Zhang Ning down in the grass, and Long Chen's tall body arched up like a wolf, pressing Zhang Ning under him.

Zhang Ning knew that he had fallen for Chen Long's evil deeds again, and fought hard, the two of them tumbled, one wanted to escape, and the other refused to let them, it was like two children fighting at home and rolling into the depths of the grass.

Zhang Ning couldn't help but giggle, screaming for mercy, but his heart was overflowing with happiness. was tumbling and rolling, suddenly the body was light, the two of them were caught off guard, their bodies fell straight down, and their eyes were dark, and they actually fell into a deep cave.

Chen Long reacted, spread his hands and feet and stretched it out, just stuck on the wall of the cave to stabilize his body. Fortunately, Zhang Ning tightly wrapped around Chen Long's body, so that he would not fall deeply. Chen Long used hard skills, and after sliding down for a while, he finally stabilized his figure, both of them were blind in the dark, Zhang Ning subconsciously didn't dare to raise his voice, and said softly: "Let you mess around, it's good now." ”

Chen Long's figure had stabilized, and he was no longer in a hurry, he took out his right hand and pulled out the Qinglong dagger, dug a few shallow pits to settle down, and hung the dagger on the cave wall on one side. Both of them have light skills, and they are not very panicked, knowing that they are not far away, but they are only covered by wild grass, so it is so dark, as long as they dig a pit with a dagger, they can climb up.

Chen Long wanted to go up, but suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he said: "This is a thief hole, it has such a scale." It must be a warlord gang in one place that can dig such a big hole in thieves. ”

Zhang Ning wrapped himself around Long Chen and asked, "Stealing the hole?" Someone wants to dig into the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and steal something. ”

Chen Long nodded and said, "Anyone would guess that what accompanied Qin Shi Huang's burial must be a mountain of gold and silver." The tomb robbers may be Li Dao, Guo Yan and the like. ”

Zhang Ning said with a smile: "If the regular army came to rob the tomb, wouldn't the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang be emptied long ago?" ”

Long Chen's words are not groundless and groundless. It is recorded in the official history that the warlords of the Three Kingdoms period, including Cao Cao, robbed tombs became commonplace, and the treasures dug up were exchanged for money and food for the expansion of the army.

Chen Long smiled: "Is it already empty, don't you go down and take a look?" "What I thought in my heart was that if I could see the terracotta warriors and horses with my own eyes in this era, they must still be colorful and lifelike, and I must move back to Lingling Town.

Zhang Ning has Chen Long's reassurance, and he is not afraid to go down to the mausoleum to take a look, not to mention that this is the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and everyone has curiosity.

The two lit the fire and slowly descended along the cave, to the end. After some observation, Chen Long found traces of excavation with shovels and pickaxes, and even a rusty iron wedge remained. Chen Long said: "I heard that the rammed earth of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is very thick, and ordinary tools can't dig it at all. Looking at it today, it is not true. When the hole reached the rammed earth layer, it could not be dug down, and it was not dug through. ”

Zhang Ning looked left and right, and said disappointedly: "The rammed earth layer is so solid, no wonder even the army is difficult to dig through." ”

Chen Long said: "My master once said that according to legend, there is more than one layer of rammed earth in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. Throughout the underground, there is a huge underground palace castle, which is no different from Xianyang Castle in the sun. As he spoke, he tried to insert the green dragon dagger into the rammed earth, but he was able to slowly sink in.

Chen Longxi said: "Although the rammed earth is like gold and stone, the green dragon dagger sharpens the iron like mud. We still have time anyway, so let's dig down and try it. ”

For a while, the Qinglong dagger was reduced to a digging shovel, flying up and down in Chen Long's hands, cutting out pieces of rammed earth. One meter, two meters, gradually Chen Long's whole person disappeared into the rammed earth layer, and the fire fold in Zhang Ning's hand could be exhausted, Chen Long saw that the rammed earth layer was endless, and he was already tired and sweaty, panting, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and he missed the efficiency of the future generations*.

Zhang Ning saw that the fire was gradually extinguished, and hurriedly said, "Do you want to make a torch?" There is grass outside. Chen Long laughed and said, "Make torches out of grass? Do you want to smoke your husband to death on the spot? Zhang Ning hurriedly spit out his fragrant tongue and stopped talking.

Chen Long jumped out of the rammed earth hole and said: "No, there is not enough time, this rammed earth layer is probably eight or nine meters deep." It's already dusk outside, so we have to go back to the city as soon as possible, bring some tools, and come back next time. ”

Although Zhang Ning was full of excitement, he also knew that it was not the time to be willful, so the two of them climbed out of the thief hole and marked it, and they were very sorry in their hearts.

Before the city gate was closed, the two returned to the city inn, both unwilling. Zhang Ning said: "If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely dig the cave and see how the Emperor of the Ages in your mouth is buried underground." ”

Chen Long smiled and said, "I guess he must still have thousands of troops to protect him, and no one underground can beat him." ”

Zhang Ning smiled when he heard this: "Husband, your exaggerated skills are also the best in the world. ”

Seeing that Zhang Ning didn't believe it, Chen Long pretended to frown and said, "You underestimate your husband, my divination and prediction skills are also passed down by my master." How about I make a bet with you? If there are thousands of troops, you have to promise me a field battle. ”

Zhang Ning saw that Chen Long was a slapstick again, so he waved his hand in shame, and said while fighting: "If there are no thousands of troops and horses, what should I do?" ”

"Then I will be in front of you, put on your clothes, and let you be humiliated."

"That's true!"

"A gentleman's word, a dead horse is hard to chase!"
