Seeing that all three of them were looking at me with expressions that were trying to get to the bottom of it, I had to say vaguely, "This...... I've only heard about it. ”

"Are the terracotta warriors and horses you are talking about pottery dolls used in funerals?" Qin Qi, who loves this way, obviously doesn't want to give up the most, so he asked.

"Yes, yes!" As soon as he said this, I immediately climbed up the pole and nodded my head again and again.

But hearing me respond like this, Sang Qing and Yue Bi immediately seemed to lose interest, leaned back, and stopped paying so much attention.

"This kind of funeral puppet has been around for a long time, and it is said that it is a substitute for the burial of the living, and it is estimated that the Lishan Mausoleum is very likely to be used." Qin continued, "But the image of this kind of puppet is generally rap and performance artists, because it is used to accompany the tomb owner to Elysium. I've never heard of the soldiers, chariots, horses, and so on. ”

When he said this, I was also in a bit of a trance. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses are so famous, I just take them for granted, but I haven't thought about what this thing means to the emperor after his death.

But I know in my heart that there must be a very big difference between the terracotta warriors and horses and the ordinary funeral puppets that Qin Qi just mentioned! Qin Shi Huang is a maverick, how can he go to great lengths to do meaningless things?

"Yes! Anyway, once we get there, we'll know what's there, and now we don't need to dig deeper, come, drink! Drink! "I managed to get down the stairs, and of course appropriately interrupted the topic.

The next morning, we crossed the Yellow River on a raft made by the locals, I thought it would be a very thrilling journey, but I found that the water of the Yellow River has slowed down greatly by this season, and this place happens to be a narrow river, so I didn't see the turbidity at all, and I felt a little regretful.

When we arrived on the other side of the river, we soon arrived at a lively market, even if we were guarding the traffic artery, it was naturally full of vendors, and it was easy to buy a few horses and continue to drive in the direction of Lishan Mausoleum.

The closer I get to the location of this imperial mausoleum project, the more I see that this area is worthy of the place where the emperor chose for himself to sleep, the north is bordered by the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, the north is bordered by Weishui, the forests are lush everywhere, the peaks are beautiful, the mountain represents stability and safety, and the water means accessibility and abundance, which is definitely a good place for feng shui.

After getting off the road and walking for less than an hour, I saw the first checkpoint, which happened to be guarding a mountain pass, and when I looked up, I found that there were also heavy patrols on the mountain next to it, and the court attached great importance to the construction of this imperial tomb, which can also be seen.

The four of us turned over and dismounted, and each showed the guards who were guarding the card the customs clearance token specially issued to us by the imperial court, and the guards opened the door, and we walked in, and were arranged to wait in a tent next to the checkpoint.

It wasn't long before there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, followed by heavy footsteps, and with a "pop" the tent's curtain was lifted, and a man walked in.

When I looked at it, I saw that the person who came was about forty years old, with a dark face, big eyes like copper rings, a thick beard, a height of one meter eight, a thick body, a suit of armor, moving like a wall, and a standard soldier at first glance.

"You are the ones from Hedong?" He asked in a rough voice, and his voice was also full of confidence, which shook people's ears and buzzed.

We quickly got up in unison and responded, "Exactly." ”

"What's your name?" He asked unceremoniously with a glimmer of the eye.

The four of them had to report their names again.

His gaze circled around our faces, as if to take a seat, and then he said a short "follow me" and turned to go out.

This meeting really didn't look like hospitality, but like a few of us prisoners who had been arrested and awaiting trial.

When he came out of the tent, he saw that he had already mounted his horse, and as soon as he raised the whip in his hand, he went away.

This one who led the way is too anxious! The four of us also hurriedly got on our horses and hurried after him, but how could the grass horses we bought from the market vendors compare with the well-trained military horses that this man stepped on, the distance began to slowly widen, and the back of this man almost disappeared from sight.

Just when we felt that we were about to lose sight, the mountain turned and our vision suddenly opened up, and a large construction site suddenly broke into our sight!

The first impression is, people, a lot of people! It is clear that it has reached the autumn cold season, but there are shirtless men working everywhere, lined up or lined up, shuttling among countless tall wooden frames and countless piles of stones, shouting loudly, marching with heavy loads, neatly aligned, and amazing!

In addition to wood and stones, dozens of cauldrons were erected in the construction site, and the fire was blazing, emitting a black and pungent smell.

Looking further ahead, you can see a huge hole, you can't see the bottom at a glance, there are countless shelves and more busy people around it, if you guess correctly, it should be the main burial chamber of this Lishan Mausoleum.

Right now, we were just halfway up the hill, overlooking almost the entire construction site, and compared with this grand scene, the four of us all seemed to have a sense of insignificance, and we all subconsciously reined in our horses and froze.

"Hey, why aren't you leaving?" The voice like a bell suddenly sounded nearby, and when I looked back, it was the big man just now, who was looking at us impatiently at this time.

"Oh, we were shocked when we saw this grand scene." I laughed.

He glanced at the construction site, and said disapprerovingly: "Otherwise, how can you say that these scholars are mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, what is there to see about a large group of people working, our general is still waiting, go quickly!" Then he turned his horse's head to leave.

"What do you call this military master?" I finally found an opportunity and quickly asked. Anyway, if he doesn't run away again, we can find him if we know the name.

"Me? Right General Cao Jing. He said this, and without looking back, he rode away again.

In desperation, we had no choice but to get on our horses and continue to chase, and after a long meandering run, we finally descended the mountain and entered a camp area, the largest and most luxurious of which must be the supreme commander here, the so-called main tent of the general.

Although General Cao had lost his trace as soon as he entered this tent area, he must have gone straight to the main tent, and sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the tent, he saw that General Cao was handing over his horse to the soldiers guarding the tent, and when he saw us chasing after us, he walked into the account with an expression of "you are too useless, chasing so slowly".

We also dismounted in the same way, followed the tent, and as soon as we entered, we saw two people sitting at a table in the center, except for General Cao. (To be continued.) )
