Chapter 31 The Fire of Gossip Burning in Xianyang

"At this moment, we have already entered the territory of the Huns, and if we go any further, we will enter the central territory of those Hun barbarians."

Meng Chong continued.

Su Yue, the fourth generation grandson of Su Qin. Su Qin studied under Guiguzi. The most famous columnist in the Warring States Period, he persuaded the six states of Han, Wei, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Wei to join forces to resist Qin, and Su Qin was the chief of the longitudinal covenant and served as the minister of the six countries.

It was Su Qin's strategy that made Su Qin the prime minister of the Six Kingdoms for fifteen years, and Qin did not dare to send a letter to Guguan to attack the pass. After the success of Su Qin's cooperation, he was named Wu Anjun by King Zhao, and after Qin destroyed Zhao, Su Yue disappeared.

Su Yue was noncommittal when he heard Meng Chong's words, picked up the water bladder and took a sip of water, and asked rhetorically with a consistent elegant smile on his face: "General Meng doesn't have to worry, the general is the favorite general of adults, and the more he doesn't want his life, he always has to think about the general and others." ”

After saying this, Su Yue asked lightly: "Does the general think that the world of Qin today is stable?" ”

At this moment, they didn't know when they set off to this prairie and came to the Xiongnu realm north of Yinshan, obviously it was impossible for them to know the news of Hu Hai's killing of Zhao Gaoli.

Meng Chong's face changed when he heard Su Yue's words, as if he had thought of something, and he took another sip of the wine in the sheepskin bag, stopped talking and got up and left, not knowing what to do.

Su Yue was not the slightest unhappy with Meng Chong's sudden departure, still with an elegant smile on his face, and slowly began to eat the dry food in his hand in small bites.

The sky is getting brighter.

At this time, Meng Chong didn't know where he came out, and he greeted loudly, and immediately all the knights gathered from all directions, put away their tents, put out the fire, and rushed towards the depths of the grassland north of Yinshan with a roar.

…………………

Early in the morning, one after another of the forbidden soldiers carried Hu Hai's three edicts diagonally, rode fast horses and stepped on cyan stone slabs through the twelve city gates of Xianyang, and scattered in all directions to Daqin on the wide straight road to all parts of Daqin, facing the nascent rising sun, and rushed to all parts of Daqin.

The "boom" sound of horses' hooves trampling on the bluestone-paved streets broke the tranquility of the morning light in Xianyang City, and woke up countless Xianyang people who were either asleep or still calculating.

Countless people secretly looked through the cracks in the doors or windows, and when they saw that the knights galloping out of the streets with packages were all soldiers of the Forbidden Army in bright armor, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and they couldn't understand what had happened, so that the emperor's Praetorian Guards were all dispatched.

Could it be that something big happened in Xianyang City? And which minister is going to be exterminated? Yesterday, it was said that the heads of Zhao Gao's family are still hanging bloodily on the vegetable market. silently recounted that today's Great Qin has entered an eventful season.

After the unification of Great Qin, the territory was too vast, and Hu Hai asked to spread his three edicts to all counties in the world as quickly as possible, and the post guards in Xianyang City were obviously not enough, so Li Si and others decided to temporarily use forbidden soldiers to pass on Hu Hai's three edicts, and Hu Hai agreed.

When all the sound of the horse's hooves gradually disappeared and finally stopped, countless Xianyang Qin people slowly let go of their worries or thoughts, and everyone could see that these forbidden soldiers were not rushing to a certain person or a certain clan in the city, but all went out through the city.

What to do when you go out of town? Hasn't His Majesty the Emperor already returned? And what are these Forbidden Army soldiers carrying crossbody behind their backs?

These questions were still in my mind, and after a while, another brigade of fast horses rushed out of the imperial city.

This made the careful livers of those Xianyang Qin people who had just let go of their hearts and were ready to go back to bed and go back to sleep again tightened again with the sound of horses' hooves that sounded again with this "boom".

It's a pawn! Not the Praetorian Army!

All the Qin people who were nervously lying on the crack of the door or the window couldn't help but whisper in their hearts when they saw the person on the horse.

The post guard and the forbidden army completely represent two different extremes, the post guard is the person who transmits the message, and the forbidden army is the pro-guard army around the emperor, once dispatched, there must be something big happening.

After everyone saw that the knight riding through the streets and alleys was a post soldier, their clenched hearts finally let go again, and they stroked the cold sweat on their heads and exhaled a long breath of turbidity.

But immediately a new question arose in everyone's minds, and the postmen were also carrying a parcel, could it be a letter in this parcel? Could it be that those forbidden armies before were also for the letter? So what kind of letter needs the emperor's forbidden army guards?

The next act of the postman who immediately walked through the streets gave these people an explanation.

These post guards did not gallop out of the city on horseback, but in groups of two, they stopped their horses in various downtown areas and twelve city gates in Xianyang City, opened the package they were carrying cross-body, and took out a roll of white silk.

The two respectfully opened the white silk they had taken out, and then nailed it to the wall with a few copper nails neatly and carefully, and after making sure that the white silk would not fall off, the two post men led the horses aside, and then stood on both sides of the white silk with swords on their shoulders.

Only then did everyone realize that this post man was completely armored! And it seems that it was specially made for this white silk for protection.

The same situation is happening in the large and small downtown and various city gates in Xianyang City.

What is this white silk? Why does this white silk need to be protected by a post guard in armor? Such thoughts appeared in the hearts of countless people who were silently watching these guards at the same time.

Those who have good eyes have already discovered that there are words on this white silk.

So what is this white silk with handwriting written on it?

Of course, this white silk and the words on the white silk are Hu Hai's thoughts. Because of the arrival of Hu Hai, it was announced that this thing would appear on the land of China in advance. And it will shock the world when it first appears.

Hu Hai didn't know until last night that Daqin at this time already had paper, parchment! Although it is also called paper, it is very inconvenient to use, and most of them are used to draw maps or important letters over long distances.

At the beginning, Hu Hai prepared to write edicts on parchment and post them as notices all over Xianyang. But Li Si and others told him that Xianyang did not have so many parchments of such size, and it was too disrespectful to write the emperor's edicts on parchment. Hu Hai simply gave up this idea.

Suddenly thought that the emperor Yanjing of later generations used yellow cloth to write holy decrees, so Hu Hai decided to use white silk to write edicts as notices, although it was a bit wasteful, but this edict was to be withdrawn anyway after a while, and it would be the same when the time came.

No matter when, wherever, or in what era, the visible and unknown are the immortal driving force that drives mankind forward. This drive is called intellectual curiosity or curiosity in written language, or gossip in the buzzword.

Obviously, the Qin people in the era of the Great Qin Empire would not lack this curiosity or gossip.

Isn't the mysterious forbidden army before, plus the mysterious post guards and the mysterious white silk with handwriting hanging on the wall enough, not enough to seduce the fire of gossip hidden in the hearts of the Qin people in Xianyang?

At this moment, the fire of gossip of the Qin people in Xianyang has begun to burn!
