Chapter Seventy-Four Meteorites Fall from the Sky
Li Qing didn't expect that he had left Xianyang City in this way, looking at the carriage behind him, on it, there was a woman whose face was covered by a veil, Li Qing knew that this person was Qing.
Meng Yi and Meng Ying sent Li Qing to the gate of the city, Meng Yi patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li, the road to Shu is difficult, be careful all the way." ”
Li Qing nodded, Shu Dao is difficult, Li Qing did not have a deep understanding, but freedom, let Li Qing forget the difficulties he was about to face for the time being.
Meng Ying looked at Li Qing, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, just asked Li Qing to be careful on the road.
Li Qing nodded solemnly, this trip to Bashu, not to be able to return to Xianyang in a short time, if you want to enter Shu, you need to go out of the Qinling Mountains, take the Hanzhong plank road into Shu, this way, even if the road is peaceful, it will take several months to reach Shu, not to mention if you encounter any other accidents.
"Let's go."
Li Qing and his entourage, a total of 100 people, each with a war horse, plus the carriage that Qing was sitting in, the group of people went out of Xianyang City.
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng looked at a jade bead in his hand, and his eyes showed a contemplative look.
Zhao Gao stood behind Ying Zheng, still maintaining a humble smile on his face.
"Zhao Gao, you let the rebel secretly protect Li Qing and them, and ensure that Li Qing and them can return to the ancestral land of the Qing Dynasty smoothly."
After a while, Ying Zheng said slowly, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
"Reverse."
Zhao Gao's face showed a look of consternation, rebellious, it is an army of Great Qin that is not known to outsiders, this army has a total of three thousand people, although it is only three thousand, but it is capable of fighting ten thousand people, they are all composed of Jianghu rangers who are attached to Great Qin.
Looking at the scenery on both sides of the road, Li Qing felt that his suppressed mood was instantly released, and he couldn't help but want to shout loudly, but looking at the hundred Qin soldiers following behind him, Li Qing stopped this impulse.
The Qin army in this era is certainly not as strong as the Qin army during the period of destroying the Six Kingdoms, but it should not be underestimated, and a hundred armor soldiers are enough to deter the thieves who may appear along the way.
Hangu Guanxi according to the plateau, east of the stream, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of the Yellow River, was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is the east to Luoyang, west to the throat of Chang'an, known as "the sky opens Hangu Zhuang Pass, the valley is shocked to the north sky", "the twin peaks towering beside the river, since ancient times Hangu a battlefield" said, since ancient times for the soldiers must fight for the place.
Li Qing and his entourage came to the outside of Hangu Pass, and the Hangu Pass guard learned that the supervising imperial history had arrived, and hurriedly led the soldiers and horses to meet him.
Li Qing looked at the majestic Xiongguan and nodded, it is worthy of being the first Xiongguan in the Guanzhong, and there is really a momentum that is not open to the public.
Qing walked out of the carriage, came to Li Qing's side, and said softly: "Legend has it that Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, left the Taoist classic Tao Te Ching when he went out of the west to Guguan, and then disappeared. ”
Li Qing naturally knew this allusion, and also knew that if Yin Xi hadn't moved Lao Tzu with his sincerity, the classic Tao Te Ching would probably have become extinct with Lao Tzu's disappearance.
"The Hangu guard will boil up, and I have seen Lord Inspector Yushi."
A middle-aged man with a resolute appearance came to Li Qing and gave a salute, this person is the guard of Hangu Pass, called Shang Xi.
Li Qing returned the salute, this businessman is full of evil spirits, he should be a real battlefield warrior, for this kind of person, Li Qing has always admired him very much.
Li Qing's performance made a slight gleam flash in the eyes of Shang Xi, who was originally dissatisfied with this young supervising imperial history.
Li Qing said with a smile: "General Shang, our group may need to stay in Hangu for the night today, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”
Shang Xi said: "My lord, there is no house in Hangu Pass, if you don't dislike it, you can provide ten military tents to your lord." ”
Li Qing nodded and thanked: "In this way, there will be General Lao." ”
Li Qing and his entourage entered Hangu Pass, Shang Xi did not lie, there were no vacant houses in the entire Hangu Pass, and the defenders of Hangu Pass, including Shang Xi, all lived in tents, and the only few wooden houses were used to place grain, grass, weapons and other equipment.
Li Qing himself chose one tent, Qing also chose one, and the other hundred Qin soldiers were crowded into the other eight tents.
Late at night, Li Qing couldn't sleep, walked out of the military tent, before leaving the tent, Li Qing thought about it, and put the Heavenly Death Sword in his waist.
"Your Excellency."
Outside the tent, several soldiers in charge of guarding saw Li Qing and hurriedly saluted.
Li Qing nodded, taking advantage of the moonlight, ready to relax.
It has been a few years since he came to the Qin Dynasty, and in Li Qing's heart, the memory of his previous life has become more and more blurred, and many times, Li Qing has almost regarded himself as a Qin person.
"The silkworms traveled westward and disappeared, Lao Tzu also went west to Guguan, why, their goals are all the West, the West, what attracts them."
Walking on the dirty path, Li Qing thought in his heart, this time to Shudi, in addition to taking the notes of the silkworm cong, Li Qing also wanted to find some clues about the silkworm cong from the silkworm cong clan, at least, Li Qing had to determine whether the silkworm cong was a traverser, although Li Qing already had the answer in his heart.
Qing opened her eyes, and in her hand, she took out a gossip plate, and the pointer on it was turning wildly.
"Strange, why is this happening?"
Qing sat up, she did not wear a veil at this time, revealing a beautiful face, but at this time, this beautiful face was full of confusion.
In the sky, a meteor crossed by, Li Qing raised his head, looked at the meteor, and showed a trace of sentimentality in his eyes, he came to this place because of watching the meteor shower, and he didn't know, if he hadn't gone to see the meteor shower, what would he be doing now?
In Lishan, the craftsmen and folk husbands who have been busy all day are cherishing the rare rest time and falling asleep.
"Boom"
Suddenly, the ground shook, and a huge meteorite fell from the sky, smashing into the passage of the Imperial Mausoleum, blocking the passage of the Imperial Mausoleum.
The Qin army and the people who were awakened got up one after another, looking at the imperial tomb that was blocked, and everyone's faces showed a look of horror.
Che Tu took the Qin soldiers to the meteorite, his face was full of solemnity, and a Qin soldier dangled next to the meteorite with a torch, and suddenly, let out an exclamation.
"There's a word on it."
"What! Got a word? ”
"Get out of the way for me, let everyone back off, and those who approach without permission will be killed."
Che Tu ordered the Qin army to drive the people away, and then looked at the meteorite, and the more he looked, the more ugly Che Tu's face became.
"The ancestral dragon died and the world was divided"
Looking at the seal book on the meteorite that looks like it grows on the meteorite, Che Tu's eyes are full of horror, this kind of expression should not have appeared on the face of such a battlefield warrior as Che Tu, but at this time, Che Tu can no longer hide his fear.
