The army in Xianyang City is permeated, there are cries and shouts everywhere, the smoke of gunpowder is permeated in the sky above Xianyang City, outside the Zhaoxian Pavilion, two thousand Qin soldiers holding Dage hold torches high, twenty people hold the wood, shouting and rushing to the gate, after the loud sound of "boom", the door of the Zhaoxian Hall was knocked open.

The soldiers rushed into the recruitment hall, regardless of the old and young, regardless of identity, as long as they saw people, they would be arrested, and those who dared to resist would be killed.

Yan Le rode on the horse, looking at the Zhaoxian Pavilion that had been gradually engulfed by the flames, he couldn't help but sneer, his father-in-law Zhao Gao had completely controlled the situation in Xianyang, and the panic of Zhao Gao's imprisonment not long ago was gone.

As long as the remnants of the Zhaoxian Pavilion are eliminated and the supporters of Fusu are stifled, Fusu will soon go north to supervise the army, and in the court, who else can compete with Zhao Gao? Thinking of this, Yan Le laughed unconsciously, as long as Hu Hai ascended the throne, Zhao Gao's contribution was indispensable, and he could borrow light, and if he was climbing a step, the future would definitely be better......

Just as Yan Le was pondering, a Qu Chang ran over and reported loudly: "Tell your lordship, I didn't find Xiang Zhuang." ”

Yan Le was furious, waved his sword and roared: "Continue to collect, even if you turn over the Zhaoxian Pavilion, you will also find Xiangzhuang!" ”

Qu Chang sang the promise and left, Yan Le looked at Changshi on the side again, and ordered: "Order to block all the gates of Xianyang and make every effort to arrest Xiang Zhuang!" ”

Half an hour later, groups of soldiers rushed into the streets, began to search house to house, on both sides of the city gate, every fifty people for a group of personal soldiers set up antlers, began to strictly check the passers-by, three hundred crossbowmen rushed up the city wall, ready for battle.

The people were at a loss, some people were so frightened that they hid at home, not daring to go out, some stores were also closed one after another due to the turmoil in Xianyang, and some walked in the street, I don't know why, they were ruthlessly dragged away by the Qin soldiers and put into prison.

。。。。。。

After leaving Xianyang Palace, Fusu locked himself in the room, no one was seen, in fact, until this time, no one would come to visit Fusu, the first emperor sent Fusu to Mobei, nominally as a supervisor of the army, in fact, he has been driven out of the political core of Qin, that is to say, now that Qin can inherit the throne, I am afraid Hu Hai is the only hope.

Two dishes of side dishes, a pot of old wine, Fusu drank by himself, his heart was extremely depressed, but Fusu couldn't find a place to vent his emotions, thinking back to the construction of Afang Palace, the Qin State had already borne too many burdens, and he dissuaded him many times, and he wanted to let the first emperor turn back and let him realize himself in the name of Zhaoxian Hall, but in the end, he still failed......

Large-scale massacre of Confucian students, in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, no matter the old and young, regardless of identity, all arrested, and the first emperor also ordered to exterminate the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

A storm is coming, Fusu seems to have seen the dark clouds that are spreading in the sky, after a violent storm, Xianyang is covered with bruises, and the people are crying and complaining, but they are already outside, they can't protect themselves, all this, they can no longer do anything, Fusu's thoughts drifted into the air with the wind // waves, as if they had come to another world.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Fusu's thoughts were pulled back again, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Who?" ”

"Childe, there was a letter from someone who said it was left by Xiang Zhuang." After Fusu heard this, he got up suddenly, he hurriedly opened the door, the person who came was the butler, he handed the sheepskin roll to Fusu, and then sighed lightly and turned to leave.

The room became extremely quiet, if Xiang Zhuang could send a letter to himself, it would mean that he was not arrested at the moment, the tension in Fusu's heart suddenly dissipated, he slowly opened the letter, and with the help of the oil lamp, he read it at a glance. There were only a few words in the letter: 'His Royal Highness Gongzi, since the Confucian case, I will go to the end of the world, Gongzi must also take care of his body, recuperate in Mobei, I believe that one day, Gongzi can return to Xianyang and revitalize the Qin State, I believe that Gongzi will definitely be a traitor and give the people a peaceful and prosperous world." ’

Signed, Xiang Zhuang wrote in red pen and ink: 'The years are fleeting, floating uncertainly, I hope that his son will live in Mobei, don't trust the envoys, hear is false, see is believing, Xiang Zhuang is here, I wish the son a smooth journey, take care! Treasure ......'

After reading the letter, Fusu's eyes gradually reddened, Xiang Zhuang's departure made him feel sour in his heart, but his father had a murderous intention, Xiang Zhuang did not leave, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape the doom, thinking of this, Fusu couldn't help but sigh, drank a glass of wine, and raised his head to drink: "Cherish ...... all the way"

Early in the morning, a bad news came, uncle and son, on the way back to Beijing, suddenly went crazy, has disappeared, life and death are uncertain, with this unfortunate news, Fusu looked back at Xianyang Palace, staring at the bustling streets of Xianyang, mighty army, tall city towers, sadness, Fusu embarked on a journey to the north.

。。。。。。

In the south of Xianyang City, at the foot of Lishan Mountain, about 2,000 people lined up, their hands and feet were tied to the chain, and slowly walked towards Lishan Mountain, these people are not added to the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum and prisoners, they are suspected of slandering the imperial court, fanning the hearts of the people, trying to disintegrate the Qin State sinners, most of them are already academically famous, some are Confucian students, some are Taoist students, some are Mohist students, and some are Legalist students, anyway, whether they are from a background or have an affair with the Zhaoxian Pavilion, they will inevitably be arrested, even if they are not from the Zhaoxian Pavilion, As long as someone reports it, or wears a robe, it will also be arrested.

The cry of grievances shook the entire Lishan, even if they had been working on the mountain for many years, they had seen countless miserable scenes, and they couldn't help but be shocked and frightened by these grievances.

Some of these people are still children, the youngest is seven years old, the eldest is only thirteen years old, some of them were arrested with their parents, some were caught playing in the street, and some were just accidentally bumped into Qin Bing, so they were caught in this team, they were still very ignorant and did not know what was about to happen.

In the depths of Lishan, there is a valley, the valley is several zhang deep, the soldiers have controlled the deep valley at this time, this valley name is also called the horse valley, it is today, the place where these two thousand people are about to be disposed of, around the valley, the temporarily mobilized 20,000 conscripts are dusting and transporting stones, and the surrounding of the valley is also blocked, as long as you fall into the valley, you can't get out.

But Qin Jun thought that this was not enough, they dusted the earth and transported stones, and wanted to bury all these people alive to prevent future troubles, at this time, in a tent on the top of the mountain, Zhao Gao was holding a teacup and was tasting tea, and the heart-rending crying outside had made him a little dizzy, but Zhao Gao did not leave because of this.

At this time, a subordinate general came over and reported with his fists clenched: "My lord, it's almost over, isn't it time to be executed?" ”

Zhao Gao looked at the hourglass not far away, it was already past noon, Zhao Gao took a sip of tea again, and then got up and ordered: "All buried alive, not a single one is left!" ”

The subordinate official sang the promise and left, and soon, in the valley, the drum sounded loudly, the Qin soldiers waved Changge, ruthlessly squeezed more than 2,000 people into the valley, some wanted to rush out desperately, but were shot through the chest by the whistling feather arrows, and fell in a pool of blood, but this did not escape the fate of being buried alive, just when they were dying, the Qin soldiers lifted them up with all hands and feet, and persistently threw them into the valley.

The crying has shaken the valley, even so, the Qin soldiers did not relent, at this time, more than 2,000 people have been ruthlessly pushed into the valley, 20,000 conscripts under the supervision of the Qin soldiers, filling in the valley, throwing stones, about five hours, the valley of the horse turned into a shallow pit of only one zhang.

There was no more crying, no more crying of grievances, the whole Magu and even the entire Lishan were quiet, and the surrounding was as quiet as death, only those forced to fill in the soil, they silently left a line of old tears......

。。。。。。

On a country road in the north of Lantian County, Xiang Zhuang rode a white horse, with a bow on his waist and crotch, holding a red shadow, and marched slowly, and then there were ten days away, he could leave Guanzhong and leave this place of right and wrong.

Recalling the trip to Xianyang, Xiang Zhuang sighed a lot, Qin Guoguang cultivated straight roads, wantonly recruited conscripts, and transferred prisoners, which has reached the maximum extent that the people can tolerate, and the first emperor at this time, the rise of the Confucian case, more than 1,000 scholars across the country died in Ma Gu, sad, lamentable......

At the same time, the Magu pit Confucianism, so that the Quartet disturbed, the world is turbulent, the construction of the Afang Palace, but also opened the largest period of hard labor in the Qin State, the Quartet continued to send forced labor to Xianyang, the people suffered from this bad luck, all miss the homeland, the people's hearts are unstable.

Half a month later, Xiang Zhuang finally arrived at Hangu Pass, the largest barrier in the pass, the former east gateway of Qin, at this time, right in front of him, Xiang Zhuang drove the horse to the front of the pass, breathed a long sigh, came to the years of the pass, he seemed to have walked a trip to the ghost gate, at this time, he came back alive, a storm at the end of Qin is coming, I really don't know, what kind of role will I play in this storm, with excitement, Xiang Zhuang rode the horse, galloped towards the Hangu Pass.

A Qin general wearing light armor was patrolling under the pass, and he saw Xiang Zhuang galloping at a glance, with a snow-white war horse, a fiery red bow and arrows and a delicate sword, which showed that Xiang Zhuang was not an ordinary person, this kind of person, the officer did not dare to intercept, only waved his hand, signaling Xiang Zhuang to go out of the city directly, Xiang Zhuang did not stop, and galloped away.

Just walked out of the gate, behind him, a person anxiously shouted his name, Xiang Zhuang was surprised, is there an old man in Hangu Pass? Or, I met that Liu Bang again, thinking like this, Xiang Zhuangle truces, looking back, the person who came was none other than Xiang Sheng, who had been separated for nearly a month, and he had already galloped on his horse at this time.

When he got closer, Xiang Sheng laughed and said: "I was about to enter the customs, but I met you, what a coincidence, otherwise, the two of us may go wrong, and I will go in vain on this trip to Xianyang." ”

After speaking, Xiang Sheng pointed to the east and said with a smile: "Liang Gong has been staying in Xiapi recently, inquiring about your news, and specially asked me to welcome you." ”

Xiang Zhuang was surprised and asked, "Didn't my uncle go to the meeting?" ”

"I was going to go back, but Zhang Liang helped us collect the Xiang family's property when the Xiang family was in trouble, and Liang Gong stayed in Xiapi for a while in order to thank Zhang Liang." With that, the two of them rode their horses and galloped eastward.
