"The Five Emperors" contains: "Emperor Taihao Fuxi, Chengji people." Yimude succeeded the king of the sky, and all Wanqiu. \"

Nuwa, the goddess of creation and the first grandmother of the Chinese nation, the wife of Fuxi. She lived in Wanqiu for a long time, helped Fu Xi to govern the people, and later became Wanqiu, so Wanqiu has another name - Waxu.

Yandi Shennong, following the capital in the old ruins of Taihao, changed its name to Chen, and then Wanqiu had the name of Chendu. Shennong tasted a hundred herbs in Wanqiu, articulated grains, and led the people into an agrarian society. "Historical Records" contains: \"Yandi Shennong's surname Jiang, the original capital Chen ....... \"

Zhong Lingyu's beautiful landscapes and strong historical origins have made the people here simple and simple, and there are many celebrities, which has brought a sense of self-confidence and pride to the local residents.

On the wide road, pedestrians are quite scarce, and it often takes a long time to see a couple of people passing by. The two sides of the road are connected, and in the distance sits a small village with smoke curling from the middle of the village. Feeling the profound ancient style all the way, talking and laughing, Zhao Jie and his party got closer and closer to Yingchen.

"There's a murderous aura, be careful." Integrity suddenly shouted, and everyone picked up the guy in their hands one after another to make a defensive statement.

"Has it been discovered?" A slight human voice suddenly came from the middle of the voice.

"Probably not, our people are well hidden, I guess they're pretending.!"

"Then tell our people to continue to hide and proceed according to the original plan, and you can do this thing."

"Yes, big brother."

The defensive position was maintained on the spot, and after five minutes, there was still no attacker, and Zhao Jie and the others began to get impatient.

"Brother Lian, is this intuition of yours accurate, don't you just scare your own people! You look at the endless plains, even if someone wants to ambush, he has no place for him to ambush! Huang Haoyao said with a smile, his tone full of doubts about his ability to be honest.

"If people are not immortals, how can they be infallible." Zhao Jie interjected with a smile and said, "Maybe Brother Lian's premonition is a little off, everyone put down their views and relax!" ”

"Childe, my instincts are very accurate, I don't think we can take it lightly." Honest and serious reminded.

"Okay, listen to you, Zhao Bing, Zhao Ding, you two take a look around, and report to me as soon as you have any problems." Zhao Jie instructed the two guards.

Everyone continued to move forward, and when they reached eleven or twelve miles, a team of people appeared in front of Zhao Jie, and about twenty people stayed on the way of Zhao Jie and the others.

"Recently, there has been a large number of thieves in Gyeonggi, and on the orders of Lord Yi, officials at all levels have set up stations along the road to check passers-by, and those who resist will not be pardoned." A fat-brained official walked out of the crowd, holding a sheepskin with a portrait of Huang Haoyao, and stammered. While the fat official was talking, Zhao Jie frequently looked at Lian Zheng and motioned for him to let Huang Haoyao hide. Honest and sensitive, he hurriedly ran to the second carriage.

"My lord, we are just businessmen, and we will never dare to do anything illegal, this is a little bit of the villain's heart, and please ask the adults to do it." Zhao Jie secretly stuffed the money bag on his body into the fat official's hand, and whispered.

The fat official weighed the money bag in his hand, and quietly asked, "How much!" Zhao Jie crossed his index finger.

"Silver?" The fat officer continued.

"It's gold." Zhao Jie continued like a profiteer: "It can be regarded as a villain who respects an adult. I just hope that the adults will show mercy when they search. ”

"It's a sincere person, I'll let my subordinates take it lightly, master." The fat official smiled knowingly.

"The villain will take the adult to check." Zhao Jie pretended to be excited and said excitedly.

Zhao Jie's appearance, a profiteer who is alive, if he hadn't been with Zhao Jie all the time, Xu Yangzhen doubted that Zhao Jie had been dropped.

"Sir, my sister is sitting in this carriage, and the villain is not only a cargo merchant this time, but also a wedding for my sister. Because my sister is about to marry into the family of a big official, it is inconvenient to meet the eldest master, and I ask the eldest lord for forgiveness. Zhao Jie cautiously explained to the fat official. In fact, there were a few maids who served everyone in the carriage, but because there were still a large number of bows, crossbows, arrows, swords, and books in the carriage, it was absolutely impossible for the fat officials to check it.

As soon as Zhao Jie's words fell, a girl's voice came from the car: "Master, the little woman is married on behalf of her, and she can't give full courtesy, so please forgive me." ”

Hearing this, the fat official waved his hand at Zhao Jie, and then said, "It's okay, check the next carriage." ”

Zhao Jie walked back with the fat official, and by the side of the second carriage, Lian was waiting. Seeing Zhao Jie, he nodded honestly and imperceptibly.

"This car is the goods we sell, please take a look." Zhao Jie lifted the curtain and saw that the car was full of stones.

"You sell stones?" The fat official asked suspiciously.

"These are not ordinary stones, there are flint stones, jade, iron ore, and gold ore, do you want one?" Zhao Jie said nonsense, fortunately, the fat officials didn't understand these and didn't find loopholes.

"Check the next car. The fat" official walked to the next car, and Zhao Jie followed, following in the same direction.

"In the next carriage are my sister's bridal maids." As soon as Zhao Jie's words fell, a pearl hairpin flew out of the carriage and landed in front of the fat official, and the noisy sound of the woman couldn't stop reaching his ears.

"No need to check, let's go." The fat official stopped, began to walk back, and said in his mouth.

Back at the inspection site, the fat official gave an order: "Let go." The officials moved the horses away, and Zhao Jie and his party passed through the checkpoints one after another. After continuing to move forward for more than ten miles, Zhao Jie's hanging heart fell back to the same place, and the group successfully dodged the gun.

"Huang Gongzi, it's safe." Lian Zheng walked over to the second car and shouted. As soon as the words fell, the curled up Huang Haoyao crawled out from under the pile of stones. After getting out of the car, Huang Haoyao took a deep breath, and then said: "It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows. ”

Huang Haoyao sighed and continued: "It seems that the capital can't be entered, so the people in the city can only be let out. I hope that Brother Zhao can send someone to the capital to deliver a message for me. ”

Huang Haoyao took out a sealed cloth bag from his body, and the bag was marked with wax oil, which was the letter he had written at the inn ten days ago. Huang Haoyao solemnly handed it over to Zhao Jie, and then said: "Give this thing to Jing Yang, the former general of the Chu State, and tell him to see him in the old place hundreds of miles outside the Chen capital." ”

"Integrity, you understand, it's up to you to do it!" Zhao Jie took the cloth bag and handed it to Integrity Dao.

"Understood." Honest replied with a solemn face. Then he rode away. Zhao Jie and the others also continued to march towards Chen Du.

In the Qianmo on both sides of the road, more than a dozen assassins were still in ambush, and the actions of Zhao Jie and the others all fell into their eyes.

"Boss, what are we going to do?" A voice asked.

"You go and report everything here to Lord Jin." Another voice replied.

"You go and follow the departing knight, remember not to be detected, and keep in touch at all times." Still the same voice: "The others follow me." ”

The open gun has been dodged, the hidden arrow has not been fired, and the next road is not as easy as everyone imagined.

"The soup of the son is like a hill. Xun is affectionate, but hopeless. Kanqi beats the drum, under Wanqiu. There is no winter and no summer, and it is worth its heron feathers. Kanqi strikes, the way of Wanqiu. There is no winter and no summer, and it is worth its heron. "The beautiful singing voice came from afar, and it became clearer and clearer. A few minutes later, a convoy of more than a dozen people dressed as businessmen walked slowly to the sound of singing. When the convoy and the carriages of Zhao Jie and others staggered past, a roar came from the convoy: "Kill!! ”

In an instant, the merchants reached into the car, took out a weapon, or a sword, a knife or a ge, and turned into a hidden warrior and rushed towards Zhao Jie and the others.

With that "kill" command, Zhao Jie and the others also instantly understood the true situation of the convoy that was staggered with them. "Enemy attack, enemy attack, quick counterattack, quick counterattack." Zhao Jie also roared loudly.

With a "whoosh", Zhao Jie fired the crossbow arrow in his hand, and because the two sides were too close, the arrow shot through the person closest to Zhao Jie and still shot at the person behind him at high speed. "Huh!" With a muffled grunt, the second person shot fell to the ground. The people who followed saw this tragic scene, they were stunned, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Jie's men rushed forward, raised their swords and slashed, without mercy, killing the seven or eight soldiers besieging him for a time without the power to fight back.

"Sisters and sisters, don't be idle, help us load each bow with arrows, and we must work together at this time." After gaining a temporary advantage, Zhao Jie gave up the idea of taking advantage of the victory to pursue and retreated to the side of the first car.

"Your Highness, give." As soon as he saw Zhao Jie, Xu Yang's maid handed Zhao Jie a bow and crossbow that had been wound.

"Huang Gongzi, this bow and crossbow is for you, take it." Zhao Jie threw the crossbow machine into the sky, and the crossbow machine made a parabolic motion, which happened to fall into the hands of Huang Haoyao next to the second car.

"Senior brother, this is your arrow, go on." Zhao Jie shouted at Gao Le beside Huang Haoyao, and then a quiver fell into Gao Le's arms.

"Brother Ying, you're okay!" Zhao Jie continued to inquire about the situation at the third carriage. Guarding next to the third carriage were Zhao Ying, Fei Jin, and Lin Shouyi.

"We have nothing to do, the enemy's main direction of attack is the second vehicle, and their target is still Brother Huang." Zhao Ying replied loudly: "Quickly bring your guards to defend him." ”

When Zhao Jie heard this, he immediately ordered his guards: "Zhao Bing, Zhao Ding, Zhao Wu, the three of you go and protect Huang Gongzi, just have Zhao Xu here to protect me." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jie's three guards quickly moved to the second carriage.
