At the end of the thirty-seventh year of the first emperor, in early December 210 BC, a cold wind swept across the land of Qilu.

On a wasteland, the grass was blown down in unison, like waves, undulating back and forth, as if it was a desert steppe.

At this moment, a horse suddenly rushed in the distance, the horse was as fast as lightning, as if treading the waves, the horse's hooves were more than eight feet high to the top, more than one zhang long, the horse's back was broad and the horse's belly was strong, and the four legs were like steel and iron, strong and powerful.

Its body is as black as carbon, and its hair is as shiny and silky as the best fabric, but the most bizarre thing is that the horse's hooves to the knees are all red like flames, and it runs like four hooves with bright flames, which is very magical.

On horseback sat a young man in a short shirt with a sword, about twenty-five or sixteen years of age, imposing and unusually burly and strong.

At this time, he slowly drove the horse to a halt, then turned over and dismounted, and stroked the huge horse's face with his hand, and there was a fiery red fluff in the middle of the horse's forehead, like a small sun shining, and at this time, the horse shook its huge and hard head under the comfort of the young man, and kept snorting, and a pair of horse's eyes as big as lanterns revealed a humanized look of dissatisfaction.

"Okay, Howling Dog, don't be dissatisfied, it's not fun to gallop fifty miles a day, I don't know if you have too much energy, you have nowhere to vent, there is time to give you a mare to make you happy, I can't stand it like this." The young man smiled and said that he was Zhao Jun, who was already twenty-six years old, and now he had taken off his immature fluff, and he had grown a small beard on his chin, and the roaring dog had finally grown up, and he officially entered the service stage two months ago.

'Herod' roaring dog hissed loudly, as if he understood Zhao Jun's words, a pair of lantern-like eyes showed a look of joy, and finally used the horse's mouth to constantly arch Zhao Jun's chest, expressing intimacy.

When the dog neighed, you could see that its mouth with sharp tiger teeth was glistening with cold light, and its hooves covered with fiery red fur also had wolf-like claws.

"You're a pervert, you're really unproductive."

Zhao Jun laughed and scolded, let the reins of the horse and let it eat hay next to it, it is his habit to gallop with the horse every day, if a horse loses its wildness, then it cannot be regarded as a good horse.

Lying on the wilderness grassland, looking at the blue sky like a jewel, Zhao Jun greedily breathed in this soothing fresh air, because he knew that the prelude to the era had slowly opened, and he had no chance to live a comfortable life in the past few years.

In the past few years, in addition to dealing with some important tasks, Zhao Jun has either studied and practiced martial arts every day, or accompanied Wuxing, Lu Pheasant, Zhao Ling, Yu Ji and several daughters, Mu Ning's mother and daughter have also come, but they often stay for a while and leave, of course, Mu Ning's vinegar jar sees so many women around Zhao Jun, and he is inevitably jealous, but he also knows that with Zhao Jun's current status, he will have a bright future later, and naturally she can't be the only woman, as time goes by, she slowly accepts it, and finally occupies a room in the backyard of Shenwu Hou's Mansion, It's like preaching her place.

As for Mu Qing, that is, Mrs. Qing, the relationship with Zhao Jun is still not bright, and the two can only secretly steal, and they dare not reveal a little news in front of others, especially in front of Mu Ning.

In addition, in the past few years, several major events have also occurred in the imperial court, one is to burn books and pit Confucianism, because Confucianism is more and more fiercely opposed to the centralized system, and always encourages Confucianism to advocate the feudal system, so in order to maintain the rule and exclude other ruling ideas, the first emperor ordered the burning of the historical records of the countries other than the "Records of Qin", and the private collection of "poems" and "books" that do not belong to the doctor's museum are also handed over and burned within a time limit; There are those who dare to talk about the execution of "poems" and "books", and the extermination of the race in the past and not in the present; It is forbidden to learn privately, and those who want to learn the law must take the officials as teachers, even the Jixia School Palace has been affected, but fortunately, Zhao Jun had the foresight to hide the relevant books early, and let Le Rui and Jixia students jointly sign a civil book, the overall meaning of the expression is to support the centralized system, so it is best to survive and continue to teach.

The reason is that two warlocks, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng, secretly slandered Qin Shi Huang and fled for their lives, and the first emperor was angry and wanted to exterminate his nine clans, and on the grounds that their warlocks were lying about immortality and bewitching money, they wantonly purged all Confucian scholars who knew how to warlocks, and they were arrested and buried alive.

In fact, everyone knows that since the Xu Fu incident, the first emperor has no hope for immortality, the so-called false words of immortality are just excuses, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng's slander is just a flashpoint, and the people arrested later are not just warlocks, all those who have expressed disrespect for the emperor and disrespect for the imperial power have all been exterminated overnight.

In this incident, the Black Ice Platform once again showed its might, and the Black Ice Platform that was supplemented with enough elite manpower can be described as pervasive, under the personal hands of the two housekeepers, there were no less than 10,000 Confucian students who died directly at the hands of the Black Ice Platform, and ten thousand people were buried outside Xianyang City, which was full of anger.

Fusu is a disciple of Chun Yuyue, has always admired Confucianism, plus he is kind and gentle, so he strives for the first emperor, but it angered the first emperor, the first emperor with the purpose of sharpening Fusu's weak character, directly sent Fusu to the frontier, nominally the prison army, however, Fusu is worthy of being a virtuous person, after arriving at the frontier and depressed, and Meng Tian together to govern the frontier, built Jiuyuan County and a straight road to Xianyang, showing calm and generosity, the name of virtuous is spread.

The second major event is that Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo led an army of 500,000 and finally pacified Nanyue, and the first emperor ordered the three counties of Nanhai County, Guiyang County, and Xiang County, and adopted Ren Huan's ethnic policy of "harmony and Baiyue", and moved 500,000 residents from the Central Plains to South Vietnam to strengthen the ethnic integration of Han and Vietnam.

The last thing, is Meng Tian waved the army north to attack the Xiongnu, on the shore of the Yellow River and the Hun cavalry launched a battle of life and death, after many battles, finally Meng Tian led the army with an unstoppable momentum, in the upper reaches of the Yellow River defeated the Xiongnu troops, the Xiongnu suffered countless casualties, collapsed into an army, and finally chased three hundred miles, forcing the Huns to flee from the wind, and finally fled seven hundred miles north of the desert, and did not dare to go south, since then the Qin army's northern and southern disasters have all been pacified.

However, these two battles were fought, costing a lot of money and food, and the first emperor did not want to transfer money and food from his own pockets, so he paid attention to the people of the six countries, so he once again increased taxes and forced labor, and forcibly relocated the people, which finally aroused a lot of public anger, and the people were almost squeezed to the extreme.

It was only in Linzi that the people could continue to live and work in peace and contentment because of the exemption of forty percent of the tax, and the money and food that Zhao Jun received from Mrs. Qing, but it was precisely because of this that Zhao Jun's reputation in Linzi County was completely erected, and most of the people had Zhao Jun's ancestral hall in their homes.

Just as Zhao Jun was lying on the grass, closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Zhao Jun stood up with a spirit, and saw a horse running quickly, immediately doing an iron guard, when approaching, Xiong Lele dismounted, hugged his fist on one knee and said: "Hou Ye, Mrs. Lu has heard an urgent matter from the person who listens to the wind, so I will send a message to Hou Ye, return quickly!" ”

A year ago, Zhao Jun took Lu Pheasant, Yu Ji and Wu Xing through the door together, and they naturally called Lu Pheasant Mrs. Lu.

"Huh?" Zhao Jun's eyes were fixed, the listeners have developed rapidly in recent years, and more and more news has been gathered, Zhao Jun has also set up a special intelligence room for this purpose, and Lu Pheasant has also done a very good job, and all the trivial things are handled in an orderly manner.

However, in order to make Zhao Jun worry-free, Lu Pheasant usually chooses important news to report to Zhao Jun regularly, and never sent someone to inform Zhao Jun alone, and he also used the words 'urgent' and 'quick return', did that happen?

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun didn't hesitate any longer, put his finger to his mouth, and whistled loudly.

Suddenly, the roaring dog that was wantonly harming the grassland in the distance hissed when it heard the sound, and ran in response, it was like a dark horse king jumping in the flames, wild and fast, and in an instant, it ran in front of Zhao Jun.

"Get on the horse and go back!" Zhao Jun turned over and shouted on his horse, and when he finished speaking, he had already galloped more than a dozen feet away.
