Chapter 330: Arriving at Qi County
Looking at the wide and smooth straight road, Li Si knew that since this knowledge had cost Yingzheng so much effort, there must be a secret that could not be told. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"General Song, since Your Majesty has used the army to build this straight road, presumably, it will not be easy to show people." Li Si looked at Song Fan with a different meaning in his eyes.
Song Fan chuckled lightly and replied, "Of course! Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have hung between these mountains and rocks. ”
Li Si squinted slightly, waiting for Song Fan's next words.
"Your Majesty has relocated all the mountain people near this straight. Along the way, a large number of rides were arranged. But anyone who is not in the Imperial Army will be killed! ”
Li Si was silent for a moment, and then looked at Chun Yuyue not far away with a gloomy face.
However, Song Fan seemed to be blind to Li Si's gaze, and in the face of Chun Yuyue, there was no trace of killing intent.
"And where does the straight end up?" After a long time, Li Si withdrew his gaze and continued to ask.
"Qi County!"
Li Si was shocked in his heart, looked at Song Fan, and wanted to ask the guess in his heart. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them alive.
A straight road running through Qi County and Guannai is enough to divide the entire empire's territory into two, and secretly connect the horizontal paths.
In the event of turmoil within the Empire, this straight road will directly connect the two richest and most prosperous parts of the Empire. It can directly allow the imperial army to control the entire Central Plains county.
From the south to the north, with this straight road alone, the elite of the empire far away in Guanzhong can radiate the entire empire.
However, although there are still remnants of the Six Kingdoms within the empire. However, the whole is still thriving, why did Yingzheng build this road? Is it better to prevent problems than to prevent them from happening?
Li Si didn't dare to ask, the secret that Ying Zheng could hide even from him as a left-hand minister, even if there was no one around, Li Si would never dare to say it.
"It's good that the left minister understands."
Song Fan put away the smile on his face, and his expression became a little more serious.
……
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
On the wide street of Linzi, more than 100 golden fire cavalry shook the bluestone slabs on the entire street.
Far away, without even being reminded, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves caused the people on the street to take refuge on both sides of the street.
Meng Tian, who was dressed in black armor, took the lead, with a solemn face, as if something terrible had happened.
And behind him, more than 100 golden fire cavalry exuded a cold breath.
The streets that were originally full of people also became afraid to speak because of this group of golden fire cavalry.
Ten years ago, the elite of the empire who had just come from the bloody battle of Chu State entered Linzi City with murderous spirit, just like today.
Clearly, the Golden Fire Cavalry reminded them once again of that day ten years ago.
"General, Zuo Xiang and his party have reached thirty miles outside the city!"
As soon as he left the city gate, a soldier of the Golden Fire Cavalry was already waiting there respectfully.
Meng Tian nodded, then turned back and said, "Speed up!" ”
"Whoa!"
An hour later, the military flag with black letters on a red background and the Heavenly End Army appeared in the distance of the road.
"The last general, Meng Tian, meet Lord Zuo Xiang!"
Meng Tian turned over and dismounted, and saluted respectfully towards Li Si, who was waiting for him in front of the carriage.
"General Meng has worked hard." Li Si nodded and said.
"In accordance with Your Majesty's holy decree, Meng Tian will be rash and lead the way for the left minister."
"I thought I knew, General Meng was annoyed."
Li Si treated Meng Tian much closer than in his previous life.
Not only did Meng Tian give Li Si a lot of help in this life, but also because Meng Tian was also half of Li Si's student.
"Meng Tian doesn't dare." Meng Tian still said respectfully, "Meng Tian has prepared a place to stay in Linzi City. Please also go to the city and take a break. ”
Li Si frowned imperceptibly, but then nodded and said, "Please lead the way, General." ”
The news that Meng Tian personally commanded the Golden Fire Cavalry out of the city naturally couldn't hide it from the nobles in the city, as well as the eyes and ears of the farmers.
In the face of Meng Tian's hurried move, it also shocked the nobles of Qi County.
However, before they could gather to discuss countermeasures, the news of Meng Tian's return came back from the city gate.
At the same time, the nobles of the family also knew that there was a big man, who was probably coming to Linzi City.
I didn't care about a lot, and the nobles who were anxious and anxious, in a hurry, got into their own carriages and rushed towards the city gate.
And the city gate is also crowded at the moment. Because, this time, it was not the county soldiers who were responsible for clearing the road, but the golden fire cavalry who were fierce all day long.
The people were also curious about who was worthy of the Golden Fire Cavalry to do what these county soldiers did.
"Da! Da! Da! ”
A string of crisp horses' hooves came from the official road in the distance.
When someone came, everyone's hearts sank. Especially those who are standing at the forefront, the big families have tidied up their clothes, looked ahead, and put on the most formal etiquette.
"Phew!"
Meng Tian, who was the leader, gently pulled the reins and stopped the war horse under his crotch. Turning his head slightly, he glanced at the frame behind him. Then he slowly dismounted and walked in front of a group of big families.
"General Meng!"
"General Meng!"
Seeing Meng Tian returning, a group of big families immediately greeted him, licking their faces and saying hello.
However, this time, Meng Tian returned the salute slightly, and let go of his body, revealing Song Fan in silver armor behind him.
"Captain Zuo of the General Heavenly Army, Song Fan, I've seen you!" Song Fan walked in front of the nobles, did not salute, and directly opened his mouth to indicate his identity.
Although the name of the Heavenly Army is all over the world, it does not mean that everyone can know the banner of the Heavenly Army.
The nobles who were originally smiling had a slight stiffness on their faces. After being stunned for a moment, Fang was flattered and saluted to Song Fan.
However, despite their constant compliments, Song Fan could still feel a trace of fear in their hearts.
In fact, Song Fan's arrival made these nobles mistakenly think that Ying Zheng had even sent his cronies to deal with them.
How can this not be feared?
"Ladies and gentlemen, Zuo Xiang has been tired all the way, and he is unwell, so it is inconvenient to see you in person. Your kindness, I will thank you on behalf of the left minister. ”
Song Fan's words made the nobles fall into a stupor again. However, Song Fan's next words made their hearts calm down a little.
"His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered Zuo Xiang to go to Songhai on a blind date, to Xiaoshengxian Village, and invite Master Xun to enter the court. When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll need your help......"
