Chapter 38 Lipei County

After leaving Ren Huan's residence, Zhao Jun directly found Li You and a few people, and told them the news, everyone was first surprised after hearing it, and then delighted, so they saved a lot of things, and directly completed the task of capturing Xiang Jia and Jingju and returned to Xianyang.

Moreover, after Zhao Jun became the commander of the Linzi Battalion, Li You, Bai Ying and Gongzi Gao were bound to be qualified for the position of the three commanders of the Black Ice Terrace, and the original wish was also achieved, Tang Li, Bo Lang and Guan Ying were naturally happy for Zhao Jun.

In the end, Zhao Jun asked a few people to go down first and prepare to leave, only Tang Li and Guan Ying were left behind.

"Can you help me see where this map is marked?" Zhao Jun took out the sheepskin map that he had searched on Zhao Cheng's body, he always felt that there was some secret hidden in it, otherwise Zhao Cheng would not be cautious enough to carry it with him, maybe it would be related to Zhao Gao's big secret.

Zhao Jun has been holding back on Zhao Gao before, because he knows the truth that if he fights a snake and does not die, he will be bitten, Zhao Gao's power in the court is not small, and his own strength is not weak, plus the first emperor is extremely fortunate to him, so if there is no ironclad evidence that makes him irreversible, he will not be able to defeat him.

However, now the contradiction between him and Zhao Jun has reached the point where he must understand, otherwise Zhao Gao may not have any tricks to deal with himself, just like this time, the position of Marshal Linzi has already been selected, but it became confusing when Zhao Gao inserted a bar, if the Xiang family was easy to catch, the First Emperor would have been caught a long time ago, can you wait until now?

"Where do I think I've seen the terrain up there?" The baby first squinted his eyes and said with some doubts.

Zhao Jun said happily: "Then tell me quickly, where is this?" ”

The reason why he left Tang Li and Guan Ying was because Guan Ying was a businessman and had seen a lot of knowledge, and Tang Li had also traveled to many places, and with his family history, he might not know the meaning of this map.

Guan Ying pondered for a moment and said: "I can't remember exactly where it is, anyway, I passed by this place when I was selling, it should be near the Taihang Mountains at the junction of Julu County and Handan County, you see there are some small characters next to it, but I don't know this font." ”

"Taihang Mountain? Isn't this the old land of the Zhao Kingdom? Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and then handed the map to Tang Li and said, "Ah Li, come and see." ”

Tang Li took a look, pondered carefully, and finally said: "I have also been to this place, it is indeed the old place of Zhao Kingdom, and it should be in the Jingjingguan generation, but this generation is inaccessible to the mountains and mountains, and the map is too old and blurry, if you want to determine the specific location, you must go to the local area to find it one by one." ”

Jingjing Pass is located in the middle of the Taihang Mountain, is the pass to communicate the east and west, in the Warring States period has always been the strategic point of the Zhao and Yan two countries, but with the unification of the Qin State lost its effect, even the merchants will not pass through here, resulting in the end gradually abandoned.

"What about the words on this, do you recognize them?" Zhao Jun pointed to a few small characters in the upper left corner of the map and asked, these small characters are not Qin Seal (small seal) or big seal, and of course they are not today's official documents, so he can't recognize them.

In fact, since the split of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to regional and economic reasons, Taowen, Silk Script, Jianshu and other folk scripts have developed to countless numbers, and even ordinary Confucian sages cannot know all the characters in the world.

Tang Li looked at it and said: "This kind of writing is quite old, but I have some impressions, it should have originated from the Zhao Gao royal family, and I have to go back to the house to read some classics to know." ”

"Okay, then Ah Li, you can go back and take a look now, this map is very important, you don't spread it to the outside world until the matter is clear." Zhao Jun opened his mouth and instructed.

Both nodded and said, "Understood." ”

After arranging the two of them, Zhao Jun went out of the government to find Lu Pheasant, the road to Wu County is not close, with the current traffic conditions, I am afraid it will take a month, in addition to the time of the task, this time to say less will take half a year, and afterwards I have to rush back to Xianyang to resume my life, I don't know when I will be able to see him.

After coming to the Lu Mansion, Lu Wen and his wife still greeted them warmly, but Zhao Jun said that he had a personal matter to discuss with Lu Pheasant and declined the banquet of the two, and Lu Wen and his wife naturally did not mind.

Lu Pheasant was standing in front of the flower pond in the backyard at this time holding a volume of Lu Lan to read, Lu Lan was a miscellaneous family compiled by the Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei and his subordinates, and it was also a masterpiece containing Confucianism, law, Taoism, etc., which had a very deep impact on later generations, Lu Wen's great-uncle was Lu Buwei, and it was not surprising that Lu Pheasant could have Lu Lan.

This book is divided into 12 periods, 8 reviews, and 6 treatises, a total of 12 volumes, 160 articles, and more than 200,000 words.

As the saying goes, reading history can be wise, and there is a saying that you can learn from history and know the rise and fall, it is really no coincidence that Lu Pheasant can become the famous Empress Lu in history, of course, this may also be related to her later experience, so it prompted her to transform into an iron-blooded female overlord.

"Sister." Zhao Jun whispered behind his back, no matter who Lu Pheasant was in history, but now he is his own woman.

Lu Pheasant looked overjoyed when he heard Zhao Jun's voice, put away the scroll, turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother, you are here." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Jun nodded, walked to Lu Pheasant's side gently, and then wrapped his left hand around her shoulder, and Lu Pheasant leaned on his shoulder.

"I'm going to Huiji, it may take a long time, and today I'm here to say goodbye to you." In the end, Zhao Jun still said this, although he couldn't bear it in his heart.

Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Lu Jun's body was obviously shocked, but he didn't expect Zhao Jun to say goodbye to her today, and his heart was full of reluctance for a while, Zhao Jun could only pat her on the shoulder to comfort her.

After a while, Lu Pheasant's tone returned to stability, and he bowed his head lightly and said: "Brother, you don't have to worry about Sister, men should have great ambitions, and they shouldn't be too attached to the love of children, besides, didn't you say that parting represents the next reunion." ”

Although Lu Pheasant was extremely sour and nostalgic in her heart and wanted to be by Zhao Jun's side forever, she still said these words smoothly, because she knew what a man's pursuit was, and she knew what kind of man his brother was.

For Lu Pheasant's tolerance and understanding, Zhao Jun could only hold guilt, and finally let out a sigh and said: "Sister, don't worry, I may settle in Linzi soon, and I will take you over at that time, and we will not be separated." ”

"Well, this time, I will definitely wait for you." Lu Pheasant nodded firmly, she believed that the day when she would see Zhao Jun would not be too far away.

In the end, Zhao Jun said again: "By the way, Sister, I still have something for you to help me." ”

"Well, you say." Lu Pheasant nodded.

Zhao Jun opened his mouth and said: "I want to have my own team of people who specialize in intelligence, but I am not good at operating as a member of the imperial court, and there are not many suitable and trustworthy people around me.

I know that this matter is very difficult to do, but now I just need to have some ordinary work in a few more important counties and counties, and I can pass on some news in time, in terms of money, I can give you 1,500 gold for the time being, and I will think of a way later, and I will leave Bo Lang in the Lu family temporarily, on the one hand, to protect you, and on the other hand, I can also cooperate with you. ”

In fact, this idea Zhao Jun has long had, in ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, if there was a team of their own intelligence personnel, it would be extremely advantageous, although he is now a person from the Black Ice Terrace, but the authority is not large, and the Black Ice Platform itself is also flawed, plus it is the emperor's organization, so there is not much that can help him, and the reason why Zhao Gao was able to sabotage the Zhao Army twice in a row, as well as the Mo family's kidnapping of Lu Pheasant, is because of his lack of information and lack of manpower.

Of course, it is not an easy task to build a qualified intelligence organization that can popularize the world, not to mention that even if it is ten thousand dollars, it will not be enough, and it is necessary to open up all joints, and without ten years of time and sufficient helpers and connections, it will not work at all.

But fortunately, Zhao Jun is not in a hurry, and only asks to establish relationships in a few key counties, so it is still feasible, as for the 1,500 gold, 1,000 gold was obtained during the Xianyang assessment, and the 500 gold was seized in these operations.

Of course, he also thought about several things that are easier to make, and there are no things in this era to make a fortune, but some things are not acceptable to the humanistic concept of this era at all, saying that doing business at any time needs relationships and connections, and his current position is high, but in the final analysis, it is just a newly rising descendant, without any foundation, if you want to make the business bigger, it will take several years, then it is far from quenching your thirst.

"Well, okay, I'll try my best, don't worry, if it's built, it will be a pure man who only obeys you." Lu Pheasant nodded, although she wondered Zhao Jun's behavior in her heart, she didn't ask much, and she didn't inquire much, this is what makes Lu Pheasant special.

Zhao Jun smiled, and then said softly: "Sister, are you still like the beginning, can you hug me for a while?" ”

"Okay, come, let's sit down first." Hearing Zhao Jun's request, Lu Pheasant seemed quite happy, after the two sat on the edge of the flower pond, Lu Pheasant gently hugged Zhao Jun in his arms, soothing him like when Zhao Jun was injured, and Zhao Jun leaned his body, his legs were raised to the edge of the flower pond, and the whole person lay comfortably in Lu Pheasant's arms, gradually squinting his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Lu Pheasant looked at Zhao Jun's serene face, his face was full of pity, and finally bowed his head lightly and took the initiative to kiss Zhao Jun's forehead.

It wasn't until it was getting late that Zhao Jun reluctantly left Lu Pheasant's arms.

"Sister, I'm leaving, you have to take care."

"Hmm." Lu Pheasant nodded, and watched Zhao Jun leave with a smile on his face.

After a while, tears gradually slipped into Lu Pheasant's eyes, and finally wet an inch of land.
