The Xiang clan was destroyed by the Great Qin soldiers and horses with the power of ten thousand thunderbolts.

Xiang Ji created a disaster in Lai Luo Mountain, so he naturally knew that it would affect his uncle Xiang Liang. So, since the evacuation of Rama Mountain, he took everyone and hurried to Juzhang, in order to inform Xiang Liang before the arrival of the Qin army. If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will retreat.

According to the idea of Xiang Ji, the first emperor is still in Huiji Mountain to worship King Dayu.

Even if you know your own details, you won't act too quickly. Anyway, he was enough to prepare before the Qin army acted.

However, Xiang Ji really ignored the power of Great Qin.

Although the officials of Huiji County all accompanied the First Emperor on the mountain, they were not all of them. All localities and departments have officials on duty. Ying Guo and others were assassinated in Lai Luo Mountain, and on the same night, an official document of the camp was issued and sent to the hands of the officials left behind in the various prefectures.

As a result, with Zhuji as the center, all the large and small roads along the way were blocked.

Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, the officers and soldiers are flowing endlessly on the road, and there are also strong men from various townships who organize patrols on the path.

Xiang Ji only appeared at this time, and they couldn't move an inch now.

In desperation, he had to go into the mountains to avoid the arrest of the officers and soldiers. By the time the first emperor's chariot left Huiji County, Yin Tong had already led people to take Xiang Liang. Xiang Ji and others didn't dare to be careless, Xiaosu walked at night, wearing stars and moons. When the first emperor's chariot was about to arrive at Jiangcheng, Xiang Ji and his party reached the outside of Juzhang City. At this time, the sentence is heavily guarded. On the tower of the city gate, there are still more than a dozen bloody heads.

That's the rank of a sentence official!

Xiang Ji couldn't help but gasp, blaming himself in his heart.

If he hadn't been reckless on Lai Lo Mountain, how could he have caused such a big incident? Uncle in the sentence chapter, business for several years. finally had some foundation, but overnight, it came to naught. At the same time, what worries Xiang Ji the most is the safety of Xiang Liang.

The old Qin people made such a big commotion. How can you be kind to your uncle?

"Ah Yu, don't worry!" Seeing that Xiang Ji was restless, Yu Ji couldn't help but persuade in a low voice: "You are the backbone of our people. If you mess up, everyone will panic. The top priority is to find out the life and death of the uncle, and then make a calculation. ”

"Xiaomei is right, let's inquire about the situation first, and then find a way to solve it."

Yu Ziqi also knew that Xiang Yu was in a messy mood at the moment, and also comforted: "Those heads at the city gate. Most of them are sentence officials at the prefecture level. If something really happened to my uncle, he would definitely hang it on the city gate. Now, there is no city gate, which means that my uncle is still safe now.

In this way, Yu Ji and I are rarely in sentences, and there are not many people here who know us. My little sister and I managed to get in and ask about the situation.

If you act rashly now. will definitely fall for the tricks of the Qin thief, not only will he not be able to save his uncle, but he may also fall into it. Lao Long Lao Cao, you are here to wait with your son. Xiang Zhuang ...... Finding a way to get some food, everyone is hard enough these days. ”

Under the persuasion of Yu Ziqi's brothers and sisters, Xiang Ji gradually calmed down.

"Well, I'll just wait here. You need to be careful...... If you don't hear from you when it gets dark, I won't wait any longer. ”

The implication is to tell Yu Ziqi's brothers and sisters that if they don't come back after dark, he will take action.

The brother and sister nodded in agreement. Taking advantage of the fact that the morning light was not strong, he walked out of the forest and walked side by side in the direction of Juzhang City.

This day, for Xiang Ji, is tantamount to a torment.

Wandering in the woods, fidgeting. On the one hand, he was worried about his uncle Xiang Liang, and on the other hand, he was worried about Yu Ji. Xiang Ji's feelings for Yu Jidi, Long Ji and others are not unaware. At this time, it is useless for anyone to persuade you, you can only wait patiently.

I see it's getting dark!

Xiang Ji also became more and more irritable......

That's when it happened. Xiang Zhuang, who was in charge of inquiring about the situation, cheered: "Brother." They're back...... Hey, it seems that there are people with me. ”

This sentence. Let Long Ji and the others immediately get nervous.

grabbed their weapons and made a battle posture, but Xiang Ji stopped them.

"Those who have followed me until now are faithful. They won't be against us in the sub-period, put away the weapons, let's go out and have a look. ”

Xiang Ji said, striding out.

The brothers and sisters of Yuzi took a pale old man into the forest. Although the light was not good, Xiang Ji recognized it at once, this old man was the slave of the Xiang family, and he was also a scholar who grew up with Xiang Liang since he was a child, named Xiang Li. This person can be trusted.

"Xiang Li, how do you ......?"

"The eldest son!"

Without waiting for Xiang Ji to finish speaking, Xiang Li strode forward, knelt on his knees, and cried silently, "Master, master, something happened to him!" ”

"Why are you here?"

Xiang Li said: "On the day of the accident, the old man saw that the situation was not good early in the morning, and let me escape from the ditch in Zhuangzi. = He said to me that he must find his son, and advised him not to be reckless. The Qin thief is guarding the county, and now he is in the sentence. Thousands of people were stationed in the city, waiting for Childe to come to the rescue of the master.

The lord also said that he would not have to worry about his life, so that the son did not have to worry.

Childe's top priority is to protect himself...... The old slave hid in the old man's good house for the past two days. I didn't want to meet Yu Gongzi at noon, and with the help of that woman, I slipped out of Juzhang City. Childe, the old slave inquired about some news of the master. ”

Xiang Liang is inhumane, but it does not prevent him from having a confidante.

Today, the Xiang family is no longer the scene when Xiang Yan was alive. However, it is still very important to the origin of women. Xiang Liangdi's confidante is a woman who makes a living in Juzhang Fireworks Alley. Even if Xiang Liang had the heart to marry her, she herself was unwilling.

After all, doing the skin and meat business really smeared the face of the Xiang family.

Although he lives in Fireworks Lane, with the funding of Xiang Liang, he has long stopped doing this business.

Xiang Ji also knew about the woman, but he didn't look down on her. It's just that I didn't expect that when Xiang Liang was down, this woman would dare to take Xiang Li in. couldn't help but praise himself secretly, but on the surface, he still looked solemn, and grabbed Xiang Li's arm.

"What's the news?"

"The master is no longer in the sentence now!"

"Huh?"

"The thief secretly sent the master away. Now I'm afraid that I've arrived in Wu County. The woman heard from the yamen that after the king of Qin patrolled the hunt, she would escort the old man to Xianyang for disposal. So. Before King Qin did not return to Xianyang, the lord would not worry about his life for the time being. ”

Escort to Xianyang?

That is, you can't avoid a dead word!

Long He grew up with Xiang Ji since he was a child, and Xiang Liang has the grace of nurturing him.

Hearing this, he immediately said hurriedly: "Son, let's go to Wu County and rescue my uncle." ”

"No!" Cao Ji grabbed Long Ji and shook his head slightly, "Wu County is where the Guild is located. How can a thief be cunning without precautions?

Now that the King of Qin has left Huiji, the Yin thieves no longer need to be escorted, and there are enough soldiers and horses in their hands to mobilize.

A small sentence has thousands of soldiers and horses...... And what about Wu County? I'm afraid there will be more. Childe is extremely brave, and he can't stop them from having a lot of people.

Childe, the master will not have to worry about his life for a while, and we can deal with it calmly. Now. The thieves are strictly guarded, and we really can't startle the snakes. After a while, the rumors were relieved, and then I tried to go to Wu County to find out the news, and then tried to rescue the master. ”

Unlike Long Ji, Cao Ji is the identity of a retainer.

However, he has a very stable personality and looks very strong. But the mind is quite thoughtful.

Among many people, Cao Ji is the calmest person. Xiang Ji was also very relieved of him, and after hearing this, he nodded lightly and agreed.

"So what do we do now?"

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but interject and asked, "It's not like this all the time." ”

"Now. We need a place to stay! Yu Ziqi thought for a while and said softly: "I have a good place to go, I can consider it."

To the west of Wu County, there is a place named Zhenze.

The waters are extremely wide, with a number of 800 miles...... Connected to the five lakes and can enter the deep mountains, it is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zhenze has a collar in the heart, whose name is Huan Chu and quite capable. Since Yin Thief took office. I wanted to exterminate Huan Chu several times. But they all ended up with a loss of soldiers.

I sold weapons to this man, and I know a little bit about him.

This Huan Chu. Originally, he was the general of the Chu State Naval Army, but later due to the defeat of the Naval Army, he was afraid of being held accountable, so he hid in Zhenze as a water thief with the remnants. Under him, there are 800 water thieves, all of whom are the water army of the Chu State, and they can fight habitually, which is very powerful. Gongzi is the grandson of General Xiang Yan, and he can naturally take over those naval armies. With these 800 sailors, when the time comes, when the Qin thieves escort our uncle, we can also hijack them halfway. ”

"That Huan Chu, can you willingly hand over people to us?"

Xiang Zhuang was quite unimpressed, and couldn't help but say a word.

Xiang Ji couldn't help but perk up, "It's just Huan Chu, if he cooperates, he will be spared; If you refuse to cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

After speaking, he said to Cao Ji: "Old Cao, you and Ziqi take Xiang Zhuang and go to Wu County immediately to try to contact Na Huan Chu. Sub-period, what is the relationship between you and the people under Huan Chu? ”

"There are a few generals who have a very close relationship with me. *****”

"Well, try to win them over...... Xiang Li, the old dragon and the little sister, prepare with me, and then set off. Let's meet in Zhenze, and act when the time comes. ”

Xiang Ji was quite decisive, and as soon as he said it, everyone immediately took action.

Unexpectedly, a fight led to such an incident. Xiang Ji took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and secretly cheered in his heart: Xiang Ji, Xiang Ji, your uncle used to take care of you...... Now that your uncle is in trouble, you must do it well, and you must not let your uncle down!

The various incidents in Huiji County have nothing to do with Liu Kan.

How could he be in the mood to pay attention to the affairs of the land thousands of miles away now? His own affairs have already troubled him.

If it is said that Liu Ju's matter is a sharp sword hanging above his head.

So on the way from Loucang to the East China Sea, I was restless, and it became a lingering nightmare. I can't tell what it's all about! My eyelids kept beating, and my heart was very chaotic. As the saying goes, the left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster. Unfortunately, Liu Kan's right eye kept jumping along the way.

Historically, the First Emperor died during a hunting tour.

Is it this time?

But in Liu Kan's opinion, the first emperor's complexion was very good. The spirit is also very strong. Although he has passed the age of no doubt, the good spirit is not even comparable to many young people in their twenties. Liu Kan felt it. The First Emperor will live for at least another ten years, and it will not be a problem.

It was in this restless mood that Liu Kan arrived at Dongmenque.

The east gate is the east of Yancheng established by Liu Kan and Baman.

Today's Yancheng is no longer the property of the Qin family. At the beginning, in order to win the support of the first emperor, Baman returned the right to boil the sea in Yancheng to the imperial court. This shows that she only wants to be in Shuzhong. For other things, I don't want to ask about it.

Back then, when Yancheng was built, the Qin family paid a huge amount of money.

For Baman, though, the money has nothing to do with her. Because she has nothing to do with the Qin family anymore, she is Baman, no longer the Qin Man of the year. Together, the personnel stationed in Yancheng that year. All of them were also recalled to Shu County. The First Emperor was very pleased with this.

The imperial court did not spend a penny, and there was another salt field.

As for the Qin Tong brothers...... Zhenmu has restored the surname Ba in her early years, what does it have to do with the Qin family? On the contrary, it was the behavior of the Qin family in colluding with the indigenous Ba people in the past two years that made the First Emperor very unhappy. \ Ba County officials, for this reason, also launched a series of suppression of the Qin family.

I think that at the beginning, Yancheng still had a part of Liu Kan.

Not anymore!

Liu Kan has never been to Quren again, let alone seen the appearance of Yancheng. Passing by this time. The pattern of his current Yancheng was actually established according to the warehouse. I couldn't help but think of the scene when I traveled to Donghai County with Baman, and my mind was relaxed.

After arriving at the camp at the East Gate, the First Emperor once again met with Liu Kan.

But I didn't say as much as I did last time. Just a brief inquiry. Then he handed over a silver seal to Liu Kan.

"Zhao Gao, take Liu Lang to report to Zhan Shi. From today onwards, the rear camp will be stationed. ”

The person who served the First Emperor in the big tent was still Zhao Gao.

It can be seen that although the First Emperor was dissatisfied with Zhao Gao's teaching of Hu Hai, he still trusted him. In particular, this Zhao Gao is proficient in criminal names and is very familiar with Qin laws and regulations. When the First Emperor was dealing with official business, he inevitably needed Zhao Gao to serve on his side.

After all, there are not many literate and hyphenation attendants, and even fewer are proficient in criminal law.

Since the eleventh year of the reign of King Qin (236 BC). Twenty-three-year-old Zhao Gao entered the Qin Palace as a scholar. Began to serve the Qin Wangzheng. Now Zhao Gao is forty-nine years old and has served the First Emperor for twenty-six years. It's become a habit.

For another person, it may not be as easy to use as Zhao Gao.

Therefore, for a while, the First Emperor did not have the intention of expelling Zhao Gao, but stayed by his side and continued to serve him.

Zhao Gao was respectful, "The old slave obeys the order!" ”

He hunched over and led Liu Kan out of the big tent.

There was no longer arrogance on his face when he saw Liu Kan for the first time, but a humble look, "General Liu Lang, the old slave here wants to congratulate you!" ”

Liu Kan is cold all over his body!

Earlier, Zhao Gao was not like this to him.

If you don't know the details of Zhao Gaodi, the key is that Liu Kan knows that Zhao Gaodi is fine, so the more abnormal he feels.

This Zhao Gao, speaking of which, is still the royal family of Zhao Guodi. It's just an estranged side branch, and its ancestors were exiled to Daqin as protons in the early years. After that, the confrontation between Qin and Zhao continued, and even Zhao Gao himself did not know which branch of the royal family his ancestors belonged to.

Because his mother was punished, Zhao Gao was a pariah from the day he was born.

As a pariah, he became the confidant of the first emperor. In this process, Zhao Gao has experienced many setbacks and difficulties, and he is afraid that he knows it himself.

Such a person has a deep and vicious mind.

The more I smile at you, the more I hate you in my heart.

If it was possible, Liu Kan would be willing to kill this guy with a sword. Without him, it is too dangerous to leave such a person by his side.

However, he couldn't kill him......

The first emperor was very fond of Zhao Gao, and he didn't say anything. Only in terms of official position, Zhao Gaoguan worships the lieutenant order of Zhongche Fulang, which is higher than Liu Kan's Eagle Lang General. Therefore, Liu Kan could only suppress the disgust and panic in his heart, and greeted him with a smile, "Zhao Fuling is really polite!"

Kan will need to be cultivated more by the government order in the future, but the government order will not push it. ”

"Well said, well said!"

Zhao Gaopi didn't smile, as if he agreed, but the perfunctory meaning in his words could be heard as long as he wasn't an idiot.

The two walked all the way to the back camp, and when they were at the gate of the camp, they saw a man in his thirties, coming out of it violently.

"Zhao Gao sees Childe!"

As soon as he saw this man, Zhao Gao hurriedly saluted.

The man was about seven feet seven inches tall, and his physique was a little thin, but he was very athletic.

He glanced at Zhao Gao, then looked up at Liu Kan again, "Zhao Gao, is this Lang Zhong who came to replace me?" ”

"Qi Yu Gongzi, this is General Liu Lang. On the orders of His Majesty, I came to hand over to my son. From now on, he will be stationed in the rear camp. ”

"Fuping Lao?"

The boy snorted, "It's like an old man, but I don't know how to do it...... When you have some free time, come back and learn more. ”

With that, he walked away.

didn't take two steps, Zhao Gao shouted behind him: "Childe, you still have to hand over to Liu Lang!" ”

"It's a great handover!"

The boy snorted coldly, "I can't take the people away, and the runes have been given to Baili's old goods." Connect...... Just let him find Baili. ”

Liu Kan felt inexplicable......

What's wrong with this? It was as if he had eaten gunpowder. I don't have any grudges with him, why do I look like I robbed his wife?

Zhao Gao smiled, but stopped talking.

brought Liu Kan to the door of a tent, "Liu Lang will go in by himself, the old slave still has something to deal with, so he will accompany him!" ”

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he turned around and hurried away.

Liu Kan picked up the tent curtain and walked in, only to see a black-clothed attendant sitting in this small tent. If you look closely, you know an acquaintance, Bailishu.

Zhan Shi is an official position independent of Jiuqing, which is in charge of the affairs of the queen and princes, and is assumed by eunuchs.

Bailishu looked quite proud, and when he saw Liu Kan coming in, he stood up with a smile and said, "General Liu Lang, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Baili, how are you ......?"

"Oh, I've just been named Zhan. From now on, we will have to work together, and please take care of Liu Lang. ”

This Baili technique, although he is also a eunuch, gives Liu Kan a good feeling.

Working with this person will surely save you a lot of worry. Thinking of this, Liu Kan said politely, and presented a silver seal with both hands to verify his identity. Even if you know each other, this procedure still has to go to the ground. Bailishu left a backup in the copy, and then handed the runes to Liu Kan.

"Baili, when I came just now, I met a person at the gate of the camp......"

"Oh, you mean the baby!"

Bailishu seemed to know what Liu Kan wanted to ask, and said with a smile: "The one who went out just now was Gongzi Ying." Like Liu Langjiang, he is one of the eight big langs, and was originally responsible for taking care of the inner camp. Because of the incident in Lai Luo Mountain, he was changed places, and he was unhappy.

General Liu Lang didn't take it to heart, he was transferred to the small battalion guard...... Hehe, not for you. ”

Bailishu, Zhao Gao, all call this person a son. You know, this is an internal camp, a person who can be called a child...... Could it be that it is a royal family?

"I'll take you to the camp, and your nephew will be brought under your command, and I'll have him fetched in a moment.

However, your retinue cannot be with you, and can only be stationed in the outer camp and resettled...... Hehe, you guessed right, Gongzi Ying is indeed a royal family, and he is His Majesty's nephew. You don't have to worry about him giving you a look, Your Majesty has already arranged it, and you won't have too much intersection with him. ”

The nephew of the First Emperor?

After Liu Kan was stunned for a moment, a vague name appeared in his mind.

Could it be him?
