"Forget it, go check the identity of the woman in white who is following the old man. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Hu Hai waved his hand, such a strange person, if he wanted to hide from the Black Ice Platform, it was not impossible.

"Whoa!"

Ying Zhen left, and Hu Hai sat alone in the emperor's study, carefully combing every detail he mastered. He felt as if he was missing something.

Since the letter from Pang Ai three years ago, Hu Hai began to order Longwei Mansion to search for the traces of the old man in the two counties of Bashu, and even after he put down the rebellion in the South China Sea, he rushed to the two counties of Bashu, hoping to meet this strange man in person, but he didn't expect that there was no news of the old man in Longwei Mansion, and later because Wei Yu was seriously ill, it was worth rushing back to Xianyang.

Nearly four years have passed, and after two years of fruitless searching, Hu Hai has gradually given up hope, if you want to count time, the old man should have been more than a hundred years old.

At the age of one hundred, it is extremely rare in the era when science and technology were extremely developed in later generations, let alone Daqin two thousand years ago. Maybe the old man has passed away a long time ago, and I heard that the old man has always been alone, so I think no one will know even if he dies. Thinking of this, Hu Hai had already given up on exploring him.

A month ago, when he stumbled upon the speculation that shocked him extremely much, Hu Hai held on to the last bit of hope, hoping that the old man could still help him solve his doubts while he was alive, so he specially asked the Black Ice Platform to concentrate all the forces of Longxi and the three counties of Bashu, and began to re-investigate the traces of the old man, whether he was dead or alive, he always had to find some news.

It's just that I didn't expect that the person I had been chasing for two or three years ran to Xianyang quietly, ran under my nose, and arrived in Mengtian's mansion.

From Bashu to Xianyang, with what Yingzhen just said, it would take at least three months or even more for the old man to walk such a long distance. That is to say, at the latest, after the Chinese New Year, the old man has already left Bashu and rushed to Xianyang, and the fine work of the Black Ice Platform is concentrated on the ground of the two counties of Bashu, and it should not have received any news.

It's just that this old man left Xianyang for thirty years, and finally lived in seclusion somewhere in Bashu, and suddenly appeared in Xianyang at this time, definitely not without a reason. But Yuzhou Ding didn't appear a few years ago, and nothing major happened, why did this old man give up seclusion and come to Xianyang all the way to Xianyang regardless of his body?

What's hidden in the middle? What is the origin of the woman in white?

Hu Hai rubbed his head, thinking about it but never getting the point.

Hu Hai is very clear about the identity of the old man.

More than 30 years ago, this old man suddenly appeared in Xianyang, and then with his superb knowledge, he was hired by the then King of Zhuangxiang, that is, Hu Hai's grandfather, as the master of the first emperor who was only twelve years old. At that time, Meng Tian, the son of Meng Wu, had been by the side of the First Emperor and was the first emperor's companion; And in order to accompany the First Emperor to grow up, or to monitor the First Emperor, Ganluo, who was a few years older than Meng Tian and the First Emperor**, also followed Lü Buwei's order to become the First Emperor's companion. So this old man is also the master of Meng Tian and Gan Luo.

At the age of thirteen, the First Emperor succeeded the monarch of Qin, and the First Emperor was able to kill Lü Buwei, who was "hoarding the monarch", and quickly took control of the power of Qin's government.

In the following years, Lü Buwei committed suicide, and Gan Luo finally fled Qin and died in Wei because of the original surveillance. Later, for various reasons, the old man quietly left Xianyang, without telling Meng Tian, let alone the First Emperor, who had already controlled all the power of the Qin State at that time, so he said goodbye and never appeared in Xianyang again.

The First Emperor was an extremely conceited person, although the old man had learned a lot of things from him, but because of Ganluo and the old man's farewell, he did not let the historian leave any record of the old man.

After receiving the letter from Pang Xuan, the guard of Julu County, if Hu Hai hadn't found some records about this old man in Zongzheng Mansion and the letters and notes of the First Emperor, I am afraid that Hu Hai would not have believed that such a strange person had appeared by the side of the First Emperor and taught the First Emperor a lot.

What surprised Hu Hai the most was that after the Great Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, it was said in later history books that Li Si proposed the county system to replace the feudal system. But Hu Hai now knows that it was not Li Si who proposed the county system at all, but the first emperor himself. Such a proposal that could be said to overthrow the ancestral system at that time, it was naturally impossible for the First Emperor to go into battle shirtless, so it fell on Li Si, who was already the prime minister of Great Qin at that time.

And it was none other than the strange man who came and went without a trace to teach this extremely advanced concept to the First Emperor.

That strange man did not have much information to verify in later generations, and later generations could only confirm the existence of such a person through the simple bamboo slips unearthed in various ancient tombs.

That person is called Crane Guanzi. The Chu people, the master of Pang Xuan in Julu County, are also the masters of the First Emperor, Meng Tian and Ganluo, who are not known to outsiders.

Hu Hai was able to know who he was because Pang Xuan saw Hu Hai's recruitment order and played the letter to Hu Hai. And the reason why Pang Xuan knew the relationship between Que Guanzi and the First Emperor was because after teaching Pang Xuan the art of war, Que Guanzi had already said when he left that he would go to Xianyang to meet the King of Qin.

It is precisely because of this complex relationship that when the First Emperor unified the Six Kingdoms, Pang Xuan did not die; When Hu Hai retrieved all the nobles' fiefs, the only one who did not recall Xianyang for retirement was Pang Xuan. Of course, there are naturally reasons why Pang Xuan is too old and basically does not have much ambition and threat.

What Hu Hai is thinking about now is whether this Crane Guanzi is just coming to Meng Tian to catch up or is there another reason, whether he issued an edict to let him come to see him or go to Mengfu in person or pretend that he doesn't know anything?

But no matter what, the person who has been looking for it has finally come uninvited, and since he has arrived in Xianyang, he is not afraid that he will disappear. If Hei Bingtai can't even look at a woman and an old man who is about to die, then it is time for all of them to commit suicide.

……

Hu Hai was still entangled in the emperor's study about how to treat his unrecognizable grandfather, but the Que Guanzi who entered the Jiuyuan Mansion asked Meng Tian to arrange a study for himself, and ordered Meng Tian to settle down after the granddaughter named Xian'er, Que Guanzi and Meng Tian sat opposite each other.
