Chapter 57 The road saw and heard the suffering of the people

The sky is as blue as a wash, thousands of miles of long clouds, layered on top of each other, magnificent like a dragon.

The two of them walked out of Hangu Pass in the morning sun.

Looking back at the Xiongguan in the world, the east is bordered by the mountains and the stream, the west is based on the Loess Plateau, the south is connected to the towering Qinling Mountains, and the north is surging with the Yellow River, a fortress through the ages!

"It's so majestic, it's a one-man pass, and it's a natural danger that can't be opened!"

Back then, Lao Tzu wrote more than 5,000 words of the Chinese treasure "Tao Te Ching" in this Hanguguan, and then drove the green ox and disappeared.

Xia Hao looked intently at the several big seals of "Hangu Pass" on the gatehouse, as if he had traveled through time and space, and the picture of Xiang Yu's army breaking through Hangu Pass appeared.

What a tragedy that is!

The Qin people did not defend the danger, the beam was not closed, the halberd was not pierced, and the crossbow was not shot.

The anti-Qin army is like entering a no-man's land.

Xiang Yu, the horseman, "broke through" Hangu Pass, and completely destroyed this ancient Xiongguan.

After entering the customs, it is like a tiger pounced into the flock, burning, killing, and looting along the way, killing countless civilians in the pass, and mourning all over the wilderness.

The entire Xianyang burned for more than a month, completely turning into a hell on earth, and the library building containing Daqin was also burned.

This reckless man who was crowned by the monkey was divided into the princes and kings of the Eighteen Roads, and the residual poison created took hundreds of years for later generations to be completely eliminated.

"This time I went to Surabaya, either to tame this tiger and let it be used bravely to attack the Huns on the right way. If you can't be tamed, it's a dragon, and I'll slaughter you!" ”

……

Leaving Hangu Pass, he gradually moved away from the center of the whirlpool of power in Daqin, and suddenly there was a sense of joy that the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish jumped comfortably.

The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the salty sunflowers in one day.

Half an hour later, it gradually became deserted.

Occasionally, I saw the low-level soldiers and the young and strong men who were recruited, each carrying dozens of pounds of accompanying equipment, walking with difficulty, rushing to the Great Wall or the Chidao and Lingqu construction sites.

In addition to the weight, each person has five or six pounds of dun cakes on the front and back, with a diameter of about 50~60 cm and a thickness of about 15 cm.

Every two dun cakes are a group, two eyes are drilled on each dun cake, tied with a cowhide rope, and the front chest and back chest are each put together, just like the folk used to use the blanket in the past.

This is their dry food all the way.

How does it taste?

It is made with corn flour, roughly crushed wheat grains, wild vegetables, and coarse salt, and is as hard as iron.

During the war, the arrows shot by the enemy could not be pierced on the dun cake, and after being pulled out by the Qin soldiers, they could be used to shoot the enemy, and the dun cake could "eat arrows", which was later named the pot helmet, and even became a great magic weapon for the Qin army to win.

It's just that this pot helmet, I'm afraid I won't even eat the red dragon horse.

……

Gradually moving away from Hangu Pass, the homeless people on the roadside are all ragged and gray-faced.

Middle-aged people are rare, and most of them are young children, women, and elderly people begging along the road.

The crops were largely barren, and the wild beasts on the mountains began to hide.

Originally, it was the season when the spring was full of joy and the grass grew and the warbler flew, and the bark of the fruit trees had not yet bloomed and the bark was peeled off and gnawed directly.

The helplessness of guard in the eyes of the people has been fixed, and the numbness or emptiness seems to have become the most unified look in everyone's eyes.

Occasionally, when the childish child showed an innocent smile, he would take a little black scrap of food from the hands of his unkempt, emaciated mother.

Only then will the haggard mother gently touch the child's head, revealing a tired but gentle smile with tears.

……

Xia Hao and Dong'er on horseback looked at all this in shock, and their originally free and cheerful mood suddenly became extremely heavy.

"The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road.

Looking at Surabaya, the intention is hesitant. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil.

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. ”

With emotion, Xia Hao couldn't help but recite a poem from later generations.

Dong'er hugged Xia Hao tightly, with tears in her eyes, and said puzzledly: "The first emperor has unified the world for nine years, why are the people still so miserable?" ”

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

The backward productive forces, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the Shixun forcible seizure, the heavy conscription brought about by the construction of the Great Wall, the Chi Road, and the Ling Canal, the military expansion of the foreign world for many years, and the harsh Qin law, have overwhelmed the huge and heavy chariot of Great Qin.

After all, the great policy of suspending the expansion of the army, slowing down the construction of the national defense military, softening the Qin law, and recuperating has only been introduced, but the huge inertia of this chariot reflects the incomparably true.

"Husband, do you say that the First Emperor knows that his people are suffering so much?"

"Alas! What he saw was probably what he wanted to see. Or maybe his subordinates concealed it and saw it was not real. ”

The Great Wall can be called a great cause through the ages, there are nine highways alone, and the Lingqu has been benefiting future generations for nearly 2,000 years.

Even the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum is the legacy left by the first emperor for future generations.

Was the First Emperor's starting point wrong?

Except for the imperial tombs, it can be said that none of them are for themselves.

But, do his people understand? Agreed?

Never.

Human vision and height limit cognition.

Under the tyrannical Qin, it is even more bitter!

Later, under the harsh government of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, once someone rose up, under the instigation of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, they responded to every call.

Angry magma will eventually erupt, watering this ancient land with blood, perhaps bringing new life.

Did you really bring it?

It can be called a great regression of historical civilization!

……

"If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world!"

"If you have the power to change that, it's your duty.

After Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty, he inherited the Qin system in many systems, and only implemented the national policy of lightly paying for small endowments and recuperating and recuperating, and the social economy recovered rapidly.

This is clearly Huang Lao's inaction!

Since I am here, I am not only perfectly grafted with advanced ideas, but also able to adapt to the times and implement many cross-era scientific and technological productivity.

Even, to spread the fire of civilization to the whole world.

Don't forget the original intention, start from the feet!

Pull out all the hidden threats in Surabaya County, and at the same time build Surabaya County into the most civilized land of fish and rice in Daqin, and create a source of civilization in Daqin. ”

Xia Hao felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, which was not only a requirement of the system, but also a responsibility, and his own ambition.

……

After galloping all the way for an hour, he entered the border between Korea and China.

The wide gallop has an excellent view, and two miles away, you can see a group of people pushing and shouting on the gallop road, and occasionally there is the sound of a big man roaring and reprimanding.

Xia Hao's eyesight was excellent, and as the distance indentated, he clearly saw a group of big men, pulling and pulling a young woman.

Although the woman was coarse and linen, her face was full of dust, but she could not hide her noble and beautiful temperament, and at this moment her body revealed a large area of snow white, pear blossoms with rain, and she was pitiful.

Like the tender green seedlings in the wind, they are sad and helpless, and they will wither at any time in the struggle.

Xia Hao slowed down as he approached the crowd.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by the bizarre combination of people and horses.

Because of the costume, it is extremely rare for women to ride horses, and men and women ride on the same horse.

It's just that this horse is too miraculous, even three percent larger than an ordinary war horse, and the streamlined muscles all over the body contain vigorous power.

There is actually a snow-white, spotless spirit fox in Matou Mountain, and its watery eyes look at everything curiously.

The men and women on horseback, regardless of their attire, temperament, and including horses, all show outstanding temperament.

"Please save the little girl!"

When the insulted woman saw the two of them, her eyes lit up, and she rushed towards Xia Hao struggling, her cry was sad and sad, like a cuckoo crying blood, so pitiful.

"Stop! Why are you embarrassed to be a weak woman? "Xiahou fought the spring thunder with his tongue, but the red dragon horse stopped.

"This woman smashed my family's ancestral pottery, and she couldn't afford to pay for it, so she took it and sold it to 'Nulu' (Qinglou) to pay off her debts."

Everyone stopped pulling at the woman, and looked at the two of them, as if they were even more excited.

"They said that the little woman smashed the treasure given by Zhou Tianzi, and the little woman didn't recognize it, so she begged the adult to get off the horse and help the little girl!"

The cloth-clothed woman looked at Xia Hao, like a drowning person grasping a straw, and pleaded in a trembling voice.

"Good! I will do justice to you! ”

Xia Hao looked at the wolf and looked around, and said with a smile, "Do you want me to help you kill them?" ”

"What a big breath. Since this kid dares to wade into this troubled water, we will slaughter him, and the horse and the lady are ours, hahaha! ”

A big man's temperament suddenly changed, his blood was wolf, and he was slaughtered.

In the wild laughter, more than a dozen people seemed to draw their knives alone, with only one voice, and the cooperation seemed to be tempered.

Bow Body, Burst, Draw Knife, Sprint, Fly!

At this moment's action, more than a dozen people were neatly and unanimous, and they started together, and even the spirit, will, breath, and knife intent were completely condensed.

In an instant, five movements were completed, and with one breath, the sword light swept twenty steps, intertwined into a knife net, and advanced towards Xia Hao.

The horse's head was exquisite, the snow-white hair stood on end, and the face was hideous and let out a high-pitched chirp.

Everyone was like an electric shock, and they couldn't help but shiver.

It is said that the fox spirit is charming, and its charm is natural.

This is the talent that Linglong awakened after the retreat with Dong'er.

The high-frequency sound that was emitted, with a divine soul attack, blasted towards everyone.

Fighter planes often only need a split second!

The boy on horseback did not move, and even his expression did not change.

At this moment, a black line flew from the sky, as fast as lightning.

With lightning speed, it pierced the heads of the three black-clothed people who rushed to the front!

The hard skull of a person is as fragile as tofu in front of this black line!

The moment the black line crosses through, there is no resistance!

"Flying needle stab!"

The black-clothed leader roared in horror, suddenly waved the knife, slashed out fiercely, and the knife arced, blocking the route of the needle, and blocking the tip of the needle with the knife surface!

This kung fu immediately showed his superb knife skills.

Unfortunately, this is no ordinary needle.

The tip of the needle was still like wearing tofu, and it was pierced, leaving a bloody hole on his forehead.

The black-clothed leader's eyes were wide with puzzlement, and with a "duang" sound, he fell straight back to the ground, and his whole body subconsciously convulsed!

A dozen people died four in an instant!

The yin wind rises, the blood needle moves, the silk thread is turned into a thread, and the electricity is ejected

The remaining nine people did not panic, and sped up to pounce on Xia Hao.

Just when he was close to a hundred steps, the fairy woman behind the young man turned pale, and two black iron balls roared towards everyone.

Two of the big men slashed at the black ball with extreme contempt with their knives.

"Boom!"

Two thunderbolts on a sunny day, six people's flesh and blood flew sideways and fell to the ground and convulsed, and the remaining three people were shocked, and the blood-patterned steel needles roared through.

Blood rushed from the front and back of the neck, and the three of them covered their bloody necks, but they couldn't make a sound.

The sudden battle from sudden to end, but only a breath of time.

For a while, the strong smell of blood and viscera was disgusting.

The boy on horseback didn't seem to move at all.

……

I saw that the woman in cloth had wide eyes, her eyes were full of incredible, her eyes quickly reddened, her eyes were full of tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "You killed them all?" ”

"Didn't I solve the problem for you? How can you thank me? Xia Hao smiled dryly.

"You madman, devil, killed all my thirteen guards of the Red Lotus? I'll kill you? The woman screamed and rushed towards Xia Hao.

In an instant, his face was hideous, and the whole person was like an ethereal smoke, like Xia Hao retracting.

The person flickered like a black shadow, and between the black shadows was actually a snake-like nine-curved shape.

Xia Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he decisively threw out a black ball.

The woman obviously knew the power of the hidden weapon, but she didn't expect that the position of the black ball landing was almost the same as her own landing point.

"Bang!" The poisonous fire bomb exploded, the flames splashed everywhere, and the radiation range was larger, and the woman was not in a hurry to be licked by the poisonous fire like a long tongue.

"Ahh

A terrible scream soared into the sky, and his body was burned with stars.

The woman could no longer maintain the rhythm of her steps.

In Xia Hao's divine sense, the trajectory of the woman's bones, muscles, and internal forces was calculated at high speed.

The second grenade was decisively thrown, and with a loud "click", the woman flew upside down, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of the blood and sprinkled in the air, like a demon blood mist flower.

Dong'er's crossbow is aimed at the woman and is about to be fired.

……

"Xia Hao, stop!"

A sharp voice came, and I saw a white shadow flying low like a big bird, approaching quickly.

Xia Hao nodded slightly, and Dong'er lowered the crossbow.

I saw the white shadow coming to the lightning, helping the woman to her feet, with an eager look on her face.

"Star Soul, who the hell are you?" Xia Hao, who was on horseback, asked coldly.

"Lao Tzu belongs to no one, it belongs to himself!"

The Star Soul hurried slowly, still one step too late.

There is no more plain clouds and light breezes, as free and easy as the world, and the delicate and bewitching face is angry.

"You want to save her? Save a princess of Hanguo? An assassin who assassinated the Great Qin Ministers? Xia Hao said coldly.

When everyone was molesting women, Xia Hao was already alarmed.

The sparsely populated gallop road, the sudden appearance of more than a dozen people is extremely abnormal.

And Dong'er accurately judged the identity of the woman and a group of people in black.

"I don't care if she is from Hanguo or Daqin, I only know that she is my friend. Give me the antidote, I'm going to save her! ”

The star soul looked at the red lotus with a sluggish breath, his face was full of anxiety and pity.

"Answer me a few questions and I'll let her go!" Xia Hao said in a deep voice.

"Hurry up and ask!" Star Soul said impatiently for Princess Red Lotus.

"We have no grievances, why did you assassinate me?" Xia Hao said coldly.

"You dog official of Daqin, everyone will be punished!" Red Lotus looked resentful.

"Don't you need a reason to kill?

Have I ever done anything that is so angry?

Have I done anything to harm the people?

Have I done anything to the detriment of Korea? ”

"You ......"

Faced with Xia Hao's continuous questions, Honglian's tone froze, and she was instantly at a loss.

"Not only not, but ......"

Xia Hao condescendingly continued to Qingyue Dao, "I advocate softening the Qin law, advocating light forced labor, and advocating the imperial examination of talents.

Even...... Launched a lot of heavenly things.

Everything I have done is for the sake of the common people and directly benefits the people of Korea, why do you want to assassinate me in a madness? ”

"Da Qin will destroy my Han country, Da Qin will be damned!" Red Lotus said sadly.

"I'm not from the Ying clan. Great Qin annihilated Han, what does it have to do with me? ”

"Our Hanguo knows that we are weak, and we have always been as a junior brother, cautiously relying on Daqin's snort.

Why did Great Qin destroy my country? And he was the first to destroy my Han country and destroy my Taoism? ”

In fact, Daqin's point is indeed not authentic.

The location of Han State is very awkward, surrounded by Wei, Chu, and Qin, and is surrounded by wolves like a little white rabbit.

I thought that I would be able to protect myself by climbing the Qin State, and I would be able to protect myself by compromising and seeking perfection.

Even if the six countries are unified, they will leave one acre and three points of land for the younger brother.

Unexpectedly, in Daqin's war of annihilation, the first person to be slaughtered was actually the little brother who followed him.

Alas! The etiquette is broken!

"I repeat, I'm not a member of the Ying clan, what does Great Qin have to do with destroying Han?

The people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light......

I just want to do my best to do what I can for the people of Qianshou in the world.

Do you want to kill all the important ministers of the court who serve the country and the people?

Where are you royal families of Korea where are the people?

Do you want the people of Korea to be involved in the war again, just to restore your throne? ”

"Why did you kill my thirteen guards?" Honglian's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then she said fiercely again.

"The wolves are going to eat me, should I stick my head out and let the wolves eat me?" Xia Hao looked contemptuous.

"You ......" Honglian wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

It can't be said that I killed you for my own selfish desires, for restoration or revenge.

Is it because you don't want Daqin to be stable, you don't want the world's Qianshou to be stable, and you don't want the world's Qianshou to be rich?

In that case, it would be really unjustifiable.

And Xia Hao also took advantage of this to reveal an important signal.

I'm just a courtier, I just want to do some practical things for the people of Qianshou, and I don't even belong to the camp.

……

"Are you done asking? Give me the antidote after asking! "Star Soul is impatient.

"There is no antidote. This bag of elixir can only temporarily suppress the poisonous hair, you can figure it out for yourself! Dong'er threw out a small cloth bag.

"You're kidding me?"

The star soul suddenly turned its face and looked at Xia Hao hatefully, and the pupils of Qiushui began to rotate.

Xia Hao felt a familiar power.

This sharp force brutally impacted his own sea barrier, as if it was about to stab his soul.

"Nima, his divine soul cultivation is actually higher than mine? Is this to perform the Divine Soul Dafa on me? ”

The revenant soul roared loudly: "Is the Yin Yang Gate going to rebel? ”

The star soul was originally wild and uninhibited, and the domineering spirit of the world did not respond at all, and continued to attack the depths of Xia Hao's sea of knowledge.
