Three thousand people who are good at water searched along Surabaya for twenty miles, but they did not find the so-called wreck of Prince Zhou.

The rumored Yuzhou Ding that emitted a treasure light is also without a trace.

The First Emperor traveled thousands of miles from Zhifu Island to here, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time along the way, and now he has recruited so many people to come to Surabaya to find the crown, if he returns empty-handed, he will not become a laughing stock in the world.

Therefore, the emperor did not give up, and on the second day, he continued to order people to increase the search area, and at the same time sent people to search the section of the river that he had searched yesterday again, for fear that after the wreck was covered with mud and sand, the search warriors would miss it.

It's a pity that the search on the second day still yielded no results, and the wreck found two ships downstream, but they were both fishermen's broken boats, and people couldn't sit on a few of them, let alone the heavily loaded Dading.

The river did not find it, but the old people who knew about it from the surrounding townships made a breakthrough.

After interrogation, none of these people had actually seen the shipwreck happen more than thirty years ago.

All the news about the sinking of the Zhou prince's ship appeared as if it had appeared overnight, and after being secretly promoted, it became a legend that sounded very true in the Surabaya valley of Pengcheng.

Even the official government of the State of Chu, which ruled this place at that time, maintained such a caliber.

At this point, most people with a discerning eye can see the true face of this matter.

The so-called Surabaya Shending is probably a rumor that was pushed out more than 30 years ago, and its purpose is to cover the Prince Zhou who escaped with Ding.

Of course, it is also possible that the Chu people killed the prince of Zhou, and after they engulfed Yuzhou Ding, they made this rumor to cover up, so as to deceive the King of Qin, who was eyeing Jiuding.

"Prime Minister, this matter is up to you to investigate." The First Emperor was furious.

He made a big show and recruited so many people to come to the top, but in the end he was busy in vain, and he was very angry. The task of investigating the whereabouts of Yuzhou Ding and investigating the specific matters more than 30 years ago was entrusted to Wang Xuan, the prime minister of Zuo, and the first emperor announced that he would go north and return to Pengcheng early tomorrow morning.

Surabaya Laoding ended up with this result, which Zhao Tuo couldn't expect, which made him a little worried about Zhao Guanglai.

When this matter comes out, Zhang De, the county guard of Surabaya, must be completely finished, and Zhao Guang is the county lieutenant, so I don't know if it will be affected.

"I helped the Confucian students in Mount Tai before, Wang Juan was clear in his heart, and later he had a lot of goodwill with me, Zhao Guang was not deeply involved in this matter, Wang Juan looked at my face, he should not be involved too much." Zhao Tuo secretly said in his heart, at this time, he felt the importance of being a friend in the court.

And after confirming the failure of the fishing tripod, the first emperor once again locked himself alone in the room and frantically reviewed the documents to vent the depression in his heart, and even Zhao Tuo and Hu Hai were gone.

Compared to Zhao Tuo's worries, the emperor's depression. Tingwei Li Si and his son are in a very good mood.

"Although Zhonglang is a martial artist, his duty is to be responsible for guarding the forbidden middle school, and he doesn't have to fight on the battlefield, and he won't encounter any danger if he follows the emperor, so the words of the number of strange things can't affect you. Before, I actually wanted to find another official for you, but I was afraid that the emperor would not like it, so I got a scholar to shoot. ”

Li Si stroked his long beard under his chin, looked at his son and said with a smile: "It seems that this move is the right move, you appeared in front of the emperor all day long, after all, it made him have pity for you, and now let you start from Zhonglang again, this is to give you a chance." If you work hard, even if you can't fight on the battlefield in the future, you can be like the Montessori brothers, be a Zhonglang general, and you won't fall into my Li family's reputation. ”

"What my father said is that the emperor made me Zhonglang, which is to give me a chance to recover, I should work hard, and I will not let the emperor down! In the future, I Li You will be the Zhonglang general! ”

Li You was full of energy, full of anger when he spoke, swept away the depression and depression of most of the year, and had a new goal, and the whole person was like a dead tree sprouting, ushering in the second spring.

Li You knew very well in his heart that all this was given to him by the emperor.

"The Emperor loves me!"

"I, Li You, should be loyal to the emperor to the death!"

On the second day, the First Emperor probably arrived late last night to approve the documents, so he got up late.

After a simple meal, he went to the shore of Surabaya to watch for a long time, and he didn't know what to think.

It wasn't until Mo Shi sighed that he announced that he had officially set off for Pengcheng.

The emperor drove north to Pengcheng, and not everyone here would go with him.

Those three thousand people who were recruited by the county guard will be dismissed here and return home, but because they have worked in vain, they have not even seen the appearance of Ding, and the emperor is still angry, so they will naturally not get any reward.

As for the 3,000 soldiers, they had to continue to escort the emperor north to Pengcheng, and they could not return home until the emperor left the territory of Surabaya County.

In Zhao Tuo's view, Zhang De's house is completely harmful to others and himself.

If you want to pat yourself on the back, not only do you get into it, but also let these thousands of people be called back and forth, delay the agricultural time, and be busy, which will definitely make Qianshou resentful. Even if he moved all the nobles of the Six Kingdoms into Guanzhong, it would be useless, and if this situation continued, Great Qin would still be rare to win the hearts of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

"I hope that after the overturn of Surabaya County this time, the Qin officials in all counties and counties in the world can learn a lesson, shoot less sycophants, and do more practical things. When I get to Pengcheng, I have to make a suggestion to the emperor so that this situation does not arise again in the future. ”

Zhao Tuo sat in his car, pulling out the curtain and looking at the scenery outside the car, while thinking in his mind about how to rectify the officialdom of the Qin State through this matter.

The team marched on the road to Pengcheng, still in the same configuration as before.

The cavalry opened the way in front to disperse the pedestrians, followed by the emperor's chariot escorted by Lang's guards, and then three thousand listless county soldiers.

The emperor's car was driven by six golden-root cars that looked exactly the same.

One of them is the main car, and the other five are all secondary cars.

This was not done to prevent the Assassins.

In this era disturbed by Zhao Tuo, Jing Ke's assassination did not really happen, and another assassin, Gao Yuanli, was also sent to the prison team by Zhao Tuo in advance.

Strictly speaking, the First Emperor had not been assassinated yet, and he could not understand the thrill of the assassination, so he naturally did not take any precautions.

Moreover, in the eyes of the First Emperor, he is the supreme man of the world, the son of heaven, and all the people in the world are his servants, who dares to assassinate him.

And there are 3,000 Lang officials around, and there are 3,000 county soldiers in the rear.

In such a situation, who can kill through the heavy guards and force him in front of him?

Impossible, completely impossible!

The reason why there are six cars is probably to make up a lucky number.

Because it was necessary to take into account the 3,000 soldiers who followed, plus there was no urgency, and the distance from Pengcheng was not far, the speed of the emperor's convoy was not fast.

Around the end of the city, the emperor's convoy came to the area of Yunlong Mountain south of Pengcheng.

This point is about four o'clock in the afternoon in the later generations, the sun is slanting westward, the late autumn sun is shining on people, a warm one, the convoy has been rushing for more than 20 miles, everyone is a little tired.

Even Zhao Tuo closed his eyes in the car after a bumpy ride.

The Yunlong Mountain they passed through is not far from Pengcheng, the mountain is not big, but fifty or sixty zhang high, seven or eight miles long, but the mountain on this side of the road is quite steep, and the forest on it is dense, because of the oppression of the mountain, the road under the mountain is not very spacious, and it can only allow two cars to pass.

Therefore, the emperor's convoy was no longer two auxiliary cars on the left and right, sandwiching the main car in the middle, but fell behind the emperor's car.

Instead, the Zhonglang cavalry was guarded on either side of the emperor's main chariot.

Being able to protect the emperor on horseback and cart, Li You was very happy and excited.

On Li You's head, the crown of the crane representing the title of the five great doctors stands out among the crowd.

The Qin State is a country that respects titles, and the gorgeous and brilliant Crane Crown is a symbol of the military attaché of the high lord.

Even because Li You's title was high enough, after being re-transferred to the Zhonglang army, Meng Yi did not dare to be dismissive, and directly made Li You a small commander in charge of fifty Zhonglang, responsible for the emperor's guards, which made Li You very satisfied.

"Sure enough, Zhonglang is my Li You's destination."

Li You sighed in his heart, and while riding forward, he cast a grateful glance at the gorgeous golden root car in the middle.

In front of the car, Zhao Gaozheng, the commander of the CRRC government, was holding the bridle rope and carefully driving the six horses forward.

Or noticing that Li You was riding a horse on his side, Zhao Gao's brows frowned unconsciously, and he felt a little trembling inexplicably.

As the emperor's car was about to leave the range of Yunlong Mountain, getting closer and closer to Pengcheng, the convoy was becoming more and more relaxed.

After rushing for most of the day, I finally arrived at the place, and the strings that many guards had been tense unconsciously relaxed.

"When I get to Pengcheng, I'll... ...”

As soon as Li You thought of this in his heart, his intuition that he had honed for years on the battlefield reacted.

He turned his head abruptly and saw the end of Yunlong Mountain, on a small hill more than ten zhang away from the road.

In the dense grass and trees, a person suddenly stood up from the grass and trees.

The burly man waved his hands in place for a few turns, then threw an object and threw it straight at the emperor's golden cart.

"Assassin!"

Li You let out a piercing scream.

The entire convoy was in chaos in an instant, and the guards who had not yet reacted looked around in astonishment, and by the time they saw the throwing object clearly, it was already too late, and the speed of the thing was so fast that it was too late to stop it.

Fortunately, a figure suddenly jumped out of the horse, trying to block the heavy object that broke through the sky like a meteorite with its body.

"Your Majesty!" Li You's eyes were red.

At this moment, Li You didn't have any distracting thoughts, and the only thought in his heart was to block this blow for the emperor.

Just like Li You laughed at himself before, maybe his ability is not as good as Zhao Tuo, but his loyalty to the emperor will never be less than Zhao Tuo!

Rumble!

The big iron spine was like a meteor, and it hit Li You's shoulder with an incomparable power, and then with a terrible impact, it hit the emperor's golden car······

Some people died, but not completely......
