In mid-July, Qin Shi Huang finally left the Taishan Palace and officially set off along the Eastern Road to return to Xianyang.

At this time, it has entered autumn, the common storms and rains in summer have almost ended, the water of the rivers has gradually subsided, and it is located in the prosperous place of the Central Plains, so the weather is sunny on the way back, and there is almost no more turmoil and water evil, even if there are often bandits along the way, there are a lot less, but when passing through Weidi, there was a bandit attack by dozens of people, but only dozens of corpses were left.

On this day, after entering Sanchuan County along the way, when it was getting dark, Qin Shi Huang felt a little hungry and asked the geographical officer accompanying him: "Where will you be stationed ahead?" I'm a little hungry! ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you are about to arrive in Yangwu County, but there is a difficult road ahead called Bolangsha, after passing through, you can find a flat place to rest and rest, please be a little patient with Your Majesty." The geographer hastened to answer.

"Bolangsha~" Qin Shi Huang Huo Ran stood up from the bumpy carriage, and then hurriedly rummaged through his pockets to find the letter that Chen Xu wrote to him, but only took out a bag, and then he remembered that the letter had been swept away by the wind when passing by Dongting Lake.

Looking at the bag in his hand, Qin Shi Huang was silent for a moment and then ordered the team to stop, and after hesitating for a long time, he opened the bag and there was a blank piece of paper inside, but after unfolding it, it was empty and there was nothing.

"Your Majesty is going to the southeast, Xu has a bag to offer, there is a warning book, if you pass by a place called Bolangsha, don't be careless, please burn incense and clean your hands in advance and watch it close to the fire, but if you don't go here, you must not open it!"

Qin Shi Huang stared blankly at the blank piece of paper, and then slowly recalled the contents of the letter in his mind.

"Summoning Shang Mu Ling, quickly serve me and wash up!"

Qin Shi Huang ordered, all the accompanying officials and forbidden troops were confused, and they could immediately station in front of the line, I don't know why the emperor suddenly stopped washing, but they didn't dare to have any questions, so Shang Muling took a group of chamberlains and palace maids to quickly prepare water for the emperor to wash his face and hands.

"Prepare the incense table and burn incense!" After washing, the emperor commanded again.

So under the command of Taibu, the entourage hurriedly took the incense case and spices from the bundled carriage and set them on fire.

Qin Shi Huang walked to the cushion in front of the incense table and knelt down, and waited for the spices to be fully lit and the smoke rose, then he asked people to bring a charcoal basin to make a fire, and then took out the white paper in the brocade bag again and slowly approached the brazier.

A moment later, in Qin Shi Huang's frightened eyes, a line of pale yellow handwriting slowly appeared on the originally completely blank white paper.

"Set the deputy car three, the main and deputy are not taken, this is a heavenly opportunity, don't spread it!"

Looking at the handwriting on the white paper, Qin Shi Huang's fingers trembled lightly in horror, and suddenly a purple smoke rose in the center of the white paper, and then there was a hula, and the white paper instantly burned a big hole from the center, and the guards on both sides screamed and knocked down the burning white paper in Qin Shi Huang's hand, and a piece of white paper was almost burned to ashes, and was swept away by the river wind.

"Your Majesty, the minister remembers that this bag was sent by Chen Xu, could it be that he wants to harm you!" Zhao Gao hurriedly expressed his suspicions.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Shi Huang was still worried at this time, stared at his hand for a long time, and then turned around and ordered: "Stay here, put the third deputy car of the Son of Heaven, carefully guard it at night, and go again tomorrow morning!" ”

"喏~"

……

In Xinzheng, the former capital of South Korea, on the edge of the Yellow River in the northern suburbs, there is a small courtyard of a dilapidated fisherman's house, with a few tattered fishing nets hanging from wooden poles, and a thatched house inside is crooked, looking like it will collapse at any moment.

A small fishing boat squeaked from the reeds on the other side of the Yellow River in the afterglow of the setting sun, and two people dressed as fishermen, one old and one young, jumped from the boat and soon entered the courtyard, and in the dilapidated thatched hut, a young man dressed in blue came out, it was Zhang Liang, who had planned to assassinate Qin Shi Huang in Xianyang last year.

"Zhang Langjun, we have already found out that the emperor's chariot and horse are almost in Bolangsha, but for some reason, they suddenly set off, and it seems that they are ready to leave tomorrow morning!" The older fisherman said.

"Really?" Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.

"We hid on the nearby river beach for nearly half an hour, and the situation was exactly the same as the previous day, so there should be no mistake!" Said the fisherman.

"Okay, haha, good, God help me!" Zhang Liang clenched his fists and laughed, his handsome face was slightly hideous and distorted, "Zhao Zheng, since you have thrown yourself into the net, you deserve your life this time!" ”

"Zhang Langjun, don't be careless, now the emperor's sentries have spread all over the riverbank for more than ten miles, if you want to attack at night, I'm afraid it won't be easy!" The young fisherman couldn't help but remind.

"Attacking the camp is the next policy, since he will set off tomorrow, just leave me with a chance to plan, you two prepare, after eating and drinking, send me and Hercules across the river, I want to find a place to hide and ambush Zhao Zheng's convoy tomorrow, both sides of this big river are covered with reeds, the terrain is also bumpy and undulating, the wheels are very easy to fall into the yellow sand, just wait for the convoy to pass slowly, it is when I take Zhao Zheng's dog's life!" Zhang Liang's excited face began to turn red.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to the unitary time.

At this time, the sunset has only a touch of red, the sky is getting darker, the river wind is gradually rising, the dense layers of reeds on both sides of the river are whistling and swaying, and the howls of wild wolves from far and near come one after another, and the great river, which seems to be peaceful and quiet during the day, seems to have suddenly become a desolate primitive forbidden area.

In the gloomy twilight, a fishing boat creaked across the river, and then hid in the reeds and slowly went down the river.

One is wearing a strong suit, it is Zhang Liang.

The other was extremely ugly and eccentric, burly, more than nine feet tall, with a naked upper body covered with yellowish brown hair, a pair of shorts on the lower body, barefoot, messy red hair like a wild man, a big mouth, a high nose, blue eyes, and a wide forehead, knotted muscles, arms thicker than ordinary thighs, and a huge black iron cone on his shoulder, the end of which was also chained to the iron hoop on the strange man's wrist.

After disembarking from the boat, the two fishermen led them into the dense layers of reeds on the river beach.

By this time, the sky was already very dark, and the sound of horses' hooves of kicking and tapping back and forth could be heard in the howling night wind.

Several foraging wolves suddenly appeared in front of the four of them, the two fishermen walking in front of them drew the daggers on their waists, Zhang Liang also pulled out the long sword on his waist, and the strange man carrying the big iron cone suddenly rushed out, and smashed the big iron cone out with a dancing chain in his hand.

"Bang~Woo~~"

With a loud noise and the miserable howl of the wild wolf, a wild wolf was directly smashed by the big iron cone, and the remaining few turned around in fright, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, and just when Zhang Liang and the two fishermen were frightened, the strange man directly dropped the hammer and pounced on the wolf corpse and tore off a hind leg and bit it, and the blood was drenched and terrifying.

"What was the sound just now?" The two Janissaries patrolling on horseback stopped to listen.

"I think it's a wolf fight, it's ten miles away from Xingyuan, it's okay, let's go!"

After a short pause, the two forbidden soldiers rode away, and the surroundings were quiet again, with the sound of the wind whirring and the reeds swaying all around, and the river beach even more desolate and lonely.

In the reeds, lying on the ground and listening to the sound of horses' hooves, Zhang Liang got up with a pale face, and whispered a few reprimands to the burly stranger, the big stranger reluctantly dropped the wolf leg in his hand, and obediently followed Zhang Liang and the two fishermen to the depths of the reeds.

The night passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the next day.

The weather in July is the season of high and crisp autumn.

The large reeds along the Yellow River stretch for thousands of miles, the grass is green and the flowers are white, and the snow-white reeds are like snow, rising and falling under the blowing of the river breeze, like a white cloud and mist.

The dunes on the banks of the river rise and fall, and standing on some of the high dunes, you can also watch three or two fishing boats, crushing the sparkling water down the river in the morning light.

At the bow of the boat stood one or two swarthy fishermen, who forgot to operate the boat in astonishment, and watched in amazement as the dense Forbidden Army rode past on the bank of the river, the flags covering the sky and the sun were waving in the wind, the procession stretched for miles, and the low horns echoed for a long time under the canopy.

The gallop was supposed to be fifty paces wide on a flat place, with wooden rails on top and a tree planted every three zhang.

But along the Yellow River is soft sandy soil, coupled with the rebirth of reeds, the gallop road that was repaired in the autumn and winter last year, after the spring calendar and summer, and now it is autumn, the reeds and barren grass that were cut down on the gallop road have already been reborn as before, and after the summer rainstorm and the river surge, the gallop has already collapsed on a large scale, the wooden track is buried under the sediment, and the ground sand dunes are undulating, and the sand is soft, the parade team can only go along the trail left by the business travelers from the south to the north, and the horses can not go too fast. The carriage was even more like walking in the mud, the wheels were as deep as sand, and the road was narrow due to the reeds, so thousands of forbidden troops could only escort the carriage forward and backward.

The name of this place is called Bolangsha, from which the place name comes.

In the procession, the carriage of the Son of Heaven is the most conspicuous, there are forbidden guards on the left and right sides of the front and back, each ride is ten zhang apart, under the whip of the coachman, six horses pull the luxurious carriage in the sand dunes with difficulty.

Among the carriages of the ministers accompanying the parade at the back of the procession, there was an inconspicuous-looking two-horse-drawn carriage, on which Qin Shi Huang sat with a calm face, looking at the majesty in front of him, and followed by Xuanwu guards disguised as servants.

Everyone didn't know why the emperor suddenly stationed in advance yesterday.

Everyone didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked for three more cars to drive.

Everyone didn't know why the emperor would abandon the jade chariot and sit in an ordinary carriage that hauled goods.

Everyone was also wondering what was written on the blank piece of paper in Chen Xu's bag to the emperor?

But what the emperor wants to do, no one dares to question it too much, and if the emperor doesn't say it, no one will ask.

The accompanying ministers are not Confucian doctors in Qilu and Qilu, nor are they folk Fangjia warlocks, and they can criticize the emperor freely at will, because the emperor is their food and clothing parents, and they rely on the backer to serve the throne, so in the hearts of all the ministers, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and the first emperor is powerful in the world, and no one dares to comment on his decision.

The chariots and horses slowly moved forward among the sand waves and reeds, the sound of the horsewhip crackled endlessly, the terrain became more and more soft and difficult to navigate, and many forbidden troops simply dismounted to help push the carts, so the line also became longer and longer, stretching for nearly ten miles.

Between two low sand dunes several feet high, the gallop passes through the cracks, and the reeds are dense on both sides, and the convoy passing through here is bound to be blocked by the sand dunes, so the speed is even slower, and many of the forbidden troops dismount to help push the carts.

On the left side of the sand dune, two people lay on their stomachs in the reeds, covered with weeds.

Zhang Liang's eyes looked at the forbidden army and the chariots and horses passing one after another without blinking, and when he saw the six-horse Son of Heaven driving, his eyes were straight.

A ...... Two ...... Three ...... Four ......

On the gallop road, which was only a few tens of feet, four carriages of the Son of Heaven drove one after another.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Liang's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, his face was full of confusion, and at the same time, a dark cloud shrouded his heart, and he felt that things seemed to be beyond his prediction and control.

It wasn't until the first Tianzi chariot was about to pass through the gap that Zhang Liang came to his senses and took a closer look, and after a while, his eyes fell on the third car, which was the most luxurious, and the horses were extraordinarily powerful.

After Zhang Liang was entangled in his heart for a long time, he saw that the first Tianzi car was about to pass, so he gritted his teeth and patted the strange man who was dozing next to him, pointed to the third carriage and whispered, "Break it...... Eat meat...... Full ......"

The strange man was suddenly shocked, and then jumped up with a strange scream, and rushed out directly with the big iron cone, and the big iron cone in his hand danced while running, only to see a black light swept towards the forbidden army who was pushing the cart, and suddenly the sound of puff was endless, and dozens of forbidden troops who didn't have time to react were directly hit out by the iron cone, and one by one like tattered rag dolls, the flesh and blood scattered and splashed, and suddenly a rich bloody breath permeated the air.

"There are assassins~~"

With countless frightened roars and roars, the forbidden troops in front and behind were in chaos, some drew their big swords and pounced on the stranger, some looked for their war horses, and some retreated to protect the carriage, but there was no rule at all in the panic, the stranger was like a beast, roaring and dancing the chains, the big iron cone swept out in all directions, and the narrow galloping road suddenly turned over on his back.

"Boom~"

The big iron cone in the stranger's hand smashed heavily on the third luxurious carriage, like a meteorite falling from the sky, directly smashing the carriage to pieces, and several horses pulling the carriage were also smashed to the ground.

"Eat meat...... ......Seeing that he had completed his mission, the strange man turned excitedly and shouted at the top of the dune.

"Puff puff~~"

Just when the strange man stopped attacking, the chaotic forbidden army had already come to his senses and began to attack with bows and crossbows, and dozens of crossbow arrows shot at the strange man like flying locusts.

"Meat...... Meat ......" The strange man was shot like a hedgehog in an instant, but he still stood straight and stared at the top of the mountain, blood rolling out of his mouth but still muttering a word.

A Forbidden Commander pounced on him with a great sword in his hand, and in the midst of the roar, a golden light swept through the strange man's neck, and a large red-haired disheveled head rose into the air, and a cavity of blood spurted out like a fountain, shining with blood-colored light in the early morning sun.

"There are assassins on the top of the hill, out~~"

Another forbidden army captain swung his big sword to the top of the sand dune, and suddenly countless forbidden troops swarmed up to the sand dunes on both sides, but when they rushed up, they found that the reeds were empty, and Zhang Liang had long since disappeared.

"Chase, don't let the assassins go!" The leader of the forbidden army roared, and at the same time, the horn and siren sounded, and the procession that stretched for ten miles was suddenly in chaos.

At this time, a young man in a blue suit was running wildly through the reeds to the river.

From the moment the Hercules rushed out, Zhang Liang instantly felt that his assassination was bound to fail, so he turned around and fled without hesitation, he didn't need to see the Hercules smash the carriage at all, because he was already convinced that Qin Shi Huang was definitely not in the most luxurious carriage.

"Out~" In a hidden river bay, Zhang Liang finally rushed to the river and jumped on the fishing boat that had been waiting for a long time.

An old man and a young two fishermen did not answer, the oars swayed, the boat quickly sailed out of the river bay and went down the water, and at this time, countless forbidden troops rushed to the river to shoot a salvo of bows and crossbows at the small fishing boat, the old man on the boat was planted in the water with several arrows, the young man was startled and fell into the cabin with three arrows, and the boat that lost control began to shake and rotate in the turbulent river, looking at the more and more forbidden troops along the coast, Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and turned over and jumped into the water.
