On the outskirts of Xianyang

"Whew! Call! Call! ”

The salamander, dressed in a gray coarse cloth shirt, gasped for breath and leaned against a large tree in the middle of the forest.

Although she knew that sitting down and adjusting her internal breath at this moment was the fastest way to recover her strength, she didn't dare to sit down and rest at all, so she took a few breaths and continued to move forward.

Coming out of Xinzheng City, she went straight to Yangzhai and had a peaceful journey. But in South Korea, she didn't dare to relax. Then he entered the land of Luoyang, thinking that he should be able to feel a lot more at ease when he entered the land of Qin, but instead he was chased by a large number of spies from Zhao and Wei.

After all, it was her identity as a first-class killer who was too sensitive, and during this period of time, the Luo Wang branch on the side of the Wei State began to investigate the movements of Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, which attracted the attention of this prince who broke Qin twice.

Along the way, the number of assassinations encountered by the startled salamander is almost equal to the number of missions she has carried out in her life, and even a first-class killer like her was so embarrassed that she had to change into a low-key coarse cloth short coat and smear pot ash on her face to cover her beautiful appearance. And this escape journey for days also made the startled salamander no longer see the calmness and beauty of the past.

But even so, that unique temperament that is difficult to hide often makes her reveal her identity. And in order to send the Black Dragon Scroll to Xianyang safely, she had to make detours again and again to avoid pursuit.

In the end, he went around and around, and finally entered the territory of Xianyang, which is also the base camp of the net, and no one dares or has the ability to continue to chase and kill the startling salamander here.

The return of the startled salamander has long been known to the high-level officials of the net, not to mention that the startled salamander still carries a black dragon scroll on its body, and even the original plan was to sneak ...... Ahem, even Ying Zheng has slowed down his plan to travel to find talents because of the black dragon scroll carried by the startled salamander.

For a time, Xianyang was under martial law, and the first-class killers such as the Six Sword Slaves, the Occult Sun, and the Black and White Xuanjian were all gathered around the Xianyang Palace to be on guard.

Ying Zheng finished reading the letter translated by the startling salamander, and his heart was a little shocked, but more excited and excited.

The Shang Dynasty changed the law, the military merit system was established, and the Qin people rejoiced when they heard the war, and this martial atmosphere not only affected the Qin people, but also included the Qin king sitting on the throne.

During the reign of the successive Qin kings since Qin Xiaogong, if they did not come to the last time to fight against Qin, they all seemed to look down on this Qin king.

It's just that unlike the excited Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei's face is full of sadness.

As the prime minister of the Qin State, no one knows better than him how weak the Qin State was at this time, even so weak that the garrison of many cities outside Hangu Pass was no more than 1,000 troops, and the food in the treasury was not enough to support the Qin army to fight a big battle, but it was all used for the conscripts who repaired the Zheng State Canal.

"Qin Law and Cang Law" is subordinate to the concubine and is engaged in the public, subordinate to the minister Yuehe two stones, and the concubine is one and a half stones; If you don't do it, don't do it. Xiaocheng Dan, the author of Lichen, Yuehe is one stone and a half stone; Failed author, Yuehe a stone. concubine, the author, Yuehe one stone, two and a half buckets; Failed author, Yuehe a stone. Half a stone for each of the infants without a mother; Although there is a mother and a mother who lives in the public with his mother, he is also gifted, and he is half a stone. Those who are subordinate to the field will take two and a half stones in February and stop at the end of September. Lick, a stone and a half stone in the month. The subordinates and Chengdan are not more than 6 feet 5 inches tall, and the concubines and concubines are not 6 feet 2 inches high, all of which are small; Five feet two inches high, made.

The Qin law is strict, but the Qin law also has a place where the people are considerate.

The Qin state was provided with food and clothing by the government, and even the loss caused to the family by going out for the sake of conscription was taken into account. These high benefits and high benefits are not so much conscription as a disguised cash-for-work exercise, which is also the reason why the Qin State can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to serve in conscription at every turn.

However, for several years in a row, hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized to repair the Zhengguo Canal, even with the current Qin State, it was a little unsustainable, and at this time, the news of the suspected conspiracy was received, which was by no means good news for the Qin State.

Therefore, Lu Buwei only had a sad look on his face.

When he persuaded Ying Zheng to agree to the construction of the Zheng State Canal, he had already considered the potential hidden dangers brought by the construction of the Zheng State Canal.

He prides himself on being a capable minister, and he knows that there is no shortage of smart people in the Six Kingdoms, and he is not the only one who can see the value of Zheng Guoqu to the Qin State. No one would sit idly by and watch the Qin State build Guanzhong into a country of abundance no less than the land of Bashu, because that would mean that the Qin State would become even stronger.

However, Lü Buwei believed that the treacherous Xinling Jun and Wei Wangyu in the last joint expedition should have lost the trust of the Shandong countries, and it was impossible to organize the next joint expedition against Qin, but they did not expect that they would find someone who was enough to replace Xinling Jun to preside over the joint expedition.

"Middle Father, this Pang Xuan...... Lone seems to have never heard of it, what kind of person is this, who can replace that Xinling Jun and preside over the great affairs of the alliance? ”

In the main hall, Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei with a sad brow, and the intrigue between the two in the past was eliminated because of the appearance of foreign enemies, and even affectionately shouted "Middle Father".

Listening to the "middle father" who had not been heard for a long time, Lü Buwei looked at Ying Zheng, recalling the child who was holding a book and asking him questions, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face that was gradually eroded by wrinkles.

"Zhao General Pang Xuan, it's normal for the king not to know, that's an old guy who has been active in the world since the time of King Zhao Wuling, he is a veteran who is even older than Lian Po."

Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei blankly.

If he remembers correctly, this year's Lian Po should be around 80 years old, and the veteran who is even older than Lian Po in the last round...... How exactly is this done?

Lü Buwei recalled the information about Pang Xuan in Luowang Intelligence and said: "As early as the period of King Wuling of Zhao, Pang Xuan once argued with King Wuling of Wuling, and explained the meaning of 'winning a hundred battles, and those who are not good are also good, and those who are good are also good without fighting'. It's a pity that in the sand dune rebellion that year, the famous generals gathered around King Zhao Wuling dispersed, and Pang Xuan simply followed his teacher, Mr. Quguanzi of Taoism, and lived in seclusion in the mountains of Chu for decades. ”

"I originally thought that this old guy who was one round older than Lian Po should have been pure in the mountains of Chu State a long time ago, and he no longer cared about these fame and fortune, but I didn't expect him to go out of the mountain again to preside over the co-indulgence."

Lu Buwei sighed faintly, he really didn't expect that the Six Kingdoms of Shandong would be able to find such an old immortal guy.

Although Zhao Jiang Pang Xuan is not much famous, the qualifications and age are there. He also has a Taoist background behind him, and the generals of the countries involved in the joint conspiracy can only obediently listen to the command in the face of Pang Xuan, even if he is stubborn, Lian Po can only be obedient and obedient, from a certain point of view, he is even more suitable than Xinling Jun.

It's just that the biggest headache for him is not the co-vertical, but Zhang Ji's mention of Pu Hanjin in the letter.
