East County

In the fifth year of the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin, the general Meng Fu attacked Weiding Sour Zao, Yan, Xu, Changping, Yongqiu, and Shanyang City, all of which were pulled out and took twenty cities. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info first placed in Dongjun. "That's where East County came from.

Most of the Eastern Counties were located in the territory of the Wei State, and it can be said to be the most central place in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Now this place has long been occupied by the Qin army, and the various appointed officials of the Eastern County are all composed of former officials of the Qin State, who are responsible for the management of the entire Eastern County.

At this time, it was dark, and the Ludong Post House was located in the north of the official road, which was the largest post house within a radius of 100 miles.

The lanterns in the inn are hung high and emit dim lights.

The endless cold air permeates the mountains and forests, and the temperature during the day is even lower at night, and there are few people walking, not to mention human voices, and the sound of insects and birds has become extraordinarily rare at this time.

At the end of the official road, the sparkling lights from far and near, the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the first frost on the official road is extremely crisp, and it is heard far and far in this night.

First, a knight in light armor was the first to enter the huge inn.

The neighing of the war horse completely woke up the post house, and the post house personnel who got up in a hurry quickly came outside, he was still wearing a dirty clothes, obviously just woke up. He was followed by several servants of the inn.

"Lord County Guard, go to Dongjun'er, wait and get ready."

The lightly armored cavalryman who dropped these words raised his whip and headed straight for the official road.

Dozens of cavalrymen were escorting a round chariot, and in front of the chariot were two tall horses from the Guannai who were galloping on this official road.

The knight came to the frame, "In front of my lord is the largest Ludong Post House, why don't we rest there tonight, and we should be able to reach Dongjun tomorrow." ”

The curtain was lifted, and an official dressed in Qin State costume nodded, and this official looked very stern.

After about half an hour, this team finally came to the East Post House, and the room outside the post house and the forage for the war horses had already been prepared.

When the team stopped in front of the post house, several men had already stepped forward to lead the horses to the stable in the back hall.

"Remember to use the finest forage, these horses are even more precious than us." The cavalry commander shouted.

"This military master, you can rest assured! The forage of this road east post house is the best guarantee to let them eat enough, the weather is cold, please go into the post house to drink a glass of wine to go to the cold. ”

The cavalry commander came to the county guard, "Your Excellency, this ......"

The county guard was also a reasonable person, and he waved his hand, "The soldiers have worked hard all the way, so you can go." ”

The cavalry commander beckoned the soldiers to the lobby of the inn, where there was a thick flame and a crackling sound of wood, which was full of sparks and warmth.

Some guys have already put the wine jar over, although these Qin soldiers are greedy, but after all, they are strict with military discipline, looking at these wines, although there is greed in their eyes, they dare not make any moves.

The cavalry commander looked at the group of colleagues beside him and ordered, "Drink! But don't drink too much, we're going to leave early tomorrow morning, and don't forget our mission. ”

"Okay."

With the commander's order, these Qin soldiers no longer had any scruples, and sat around with cheers.

The cavalry commander walked alone, and he always felt that something was wrong with this inn, and he didn't understand exactly what it was.

"Take this pot of wine!"

A cavalryman came over and handed over the wine, and the cavalry leader took it in his hand and walked out.

He walked aimlessly outside, the cold wind poured straight into his sleeves, he involuntarily tightened his sleeves, drank a large sip of wine, and then slightly dispelled some of the cold, exhaled a breath of hot air in his mouth, but in a blink of an eye, it dissipated in the wind and snow, he finally understood what was wrong, because this post house within a radius of 100 miles was too quiet, even if it was dark now, it would not be so quiet.

He walked along the road but found some mottled red scattered in the snow that seemed very secret, he walked forward along the trace, but his hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, and finally he was awakened by the bright red blood stains on the ground, it was the smell of blood, if it wasn't for the weather was too cold, he should have found it a long time ago, in the firewood room, in front of the pool of blood, countless corpses were piled together, these corpses in the steward and the men in the post house clothes without exception fell to the ground, but the corpses had long been frozen, dead.

"Not good."

The cavalry commander was just about to leave, but there was a dizziness in his mind.

Two men with long knives stepped forward.

"Why did I only drink a little wine?"

"How can we do something that is not technically worked? The real medicine is in the smell of fireworks. ”

The cavalry commander drew his sword, and the two men fought with him, although he was a little dazed in his mind, but he walked out and took advantage of the cold wind, but it was not as groggy as before, he drew his sword and took care of the two men, and he also suffered some knife wounds, he stumbled towards the hall, but before he could reach the hall, a sharp blade passed through his chest.

He collapsed with his eyes closed, and lay feebly on the threshold, the last thing he saw was a myriad of arrows flying down the hall, and his comrades lost their lives before they could even notice the enemy.

"What a bunch of garbage can't even do such a little thing, and it almost ruined my good deeds."

A woman in a dress said, kicking the cavalry commander in front of the door.

She turned to look at the guy in front of her, "What about the county guard sent by the Qin State if you do it cleanly?" ”

"Don't worry, he'll be the first to be done by the steward."

In the private room in the hall, the county guard dressed in the costume of a Qin official was already out of breath at this time, this promising Qin official, the county guard of the East County was about to come to develop his ambitions, but he lost his life in such a small post house.

A dozen men in black shirts stepped out, examined the dead cavalry again, picked up their equipment, and took great care to make sure that there were no survivors.

The wind and snow covered this post house, a group of people in black cloth shirts rode horses and braved the wind and snow to leave this post house quickly, behind them the east post house was braving a raging fire, a few miles away can be seen clearly, the fiery red fireworks reflected half of the sky, under the corridor of the post house is also dim lights but seems to indicate something?
