After entering the Luoyang realm, the caravan was automatically disbanded, and some people stopped at Chenggao, some people wanted to go further up to Yanshi, and some people wanted to go to Mengjin.

Under the guidance of Childe Yiren, the big ship stopped in an unknown river, and the three of them got off the boat, said their labor to the boatman, and gave an extra dozen dollars as hardship expenses. Then, led by the Inhuman, he entered a gathering and stopped in front of a courtyard. Childe Yiren stepped forward to knock on the door, and a family member came out when he was young, and he didn't know what to say to Yiren, so he immediately brought Yiren in. After a while, the master hurriedly walked out, saluted Zheng Anping and Chen Si in front of the door, and swept them into the door. After a while, a family member came out and went to another place.

The family didn't return until dark. Soon after returning, Zheng Anping and Chen Si came out again. They had changed their clothes and were led away by the family member.

In a secluded place, where several knights were already waiting, when they saw their family members coming with two of them, one of them whispered, "Where are you going?" The family replied, "Gu Shui! ”

The group pulled out two horses from behind, Zheng Anping and Chen Si said goodbye to their families, and the two rode on their horses and stepped quickly into the darkness.

The caravan entered the valley, dark on all sides, and the road was barely visible. Relying on the old horse to know the way, the group walked with each other all night. Zheng Anping and Chen Si were not skilled in riding horses, and they were sandwiched in the middle of the team, and the reins of the horses were led forward by the people in front. All they had to do was hug the horse's neck and clamp the horse's belly. Zheng Anping was sleepy all the way, but he didn't dare to fall asleep, for fear of accidentally falling, and desperately fought with sleepiness. Gradually, I felt that the surroundings seemed to be a little brighter, and I saw the horse team coming out of the narrow valley.

Out of the letter road, it is the boundary of Shaanxi County. This is no longer a narrow valley, but a riverbank, and Zheng Anping only feels that his eyes are bright. Walk along the stream, and when the sky is bright, you will arrive at the city of Shaanxi. After changing horses at the post station and having breakfast, everyone got on their horses again and came to Hangu Pass.

Before the pass, Guan Wei transferred a leather chariot and let Chen Si and Zheng Anping take it, and the driver took over the knight's festival talisman, and the knights rested their horses in Hangu Pass. When the car arrived at the mouth of the Weishui River, it was already sunset. The driver arranged for Zheng Anping and the two to have dinner at the post station, transferred a fast boat, and let Zheng Anping and Chen Si sit on it, with five boatmen on board, one beating drums and four rowing, and went to Xianyang overnight. The boatman told Zheng and Chen to sleep peacefully in the cabin, and he would call them when they arrived. Zheng Anping and the others have not closed their eyes for two days and nights, and as soon as their heads touch the cabin board, they fall into a deep sleep, even if the drums are deafening.

When the fast boat passes by the post station, it stops at the shore and does not stop; Hearing the sound of drums, the post station had already sent five people to take over and continue rowing. After such a journey, when Zheng Anping and the others woke up, the ship was almost in Xianyang.

After a night's sleep, Zheng Anping and Chen Si both felt refreshed, and the two of them sat on the bow of the boat, watching the four of them paddle hard, and the boat swept over the water like flying, and they were amazed. The morning fog on the river had not yet lifted, and there were no other boats on the river, only the drums of fast boats echoing on the river.

The sound of drums reached Weishuijinkou, and the people at the post station were already waiting at the ferry. After checking the festival charm, the leather car pulled the two straight to Xianyang Palace. At this time, it was the time of the dynasty, and the Weishui Bridge was overcrowded, but when they heard the bell of the stagecoach "Lingling", everyone quickly dodged a road and let the stagecoach pass. Everyone who dodged looked at the people in the car with surprised eyes, and when the car passed, everyone exchanged heads and ears to each other, and soon the news spread, under the door of Keqing Zhang Lu, Zheng Anping and Chen Si, who are now going with Hu Yang, are back!

The Qin army that went on an expedition has become a heart problem for the Qin court in recent days. More than a month ago, Wang Ling led an expeditionary force of 10,000 people to return and reported Hu Yang's decision: Yan He may be a pit, and it is not trivial for the Zhao army to fight down, but it is very easy to lose, as long as the Qin army retreats, the Zhao army can come back, and even the Han army that occupied Shangdang is unable to control this city; Hu Yang decided to hand over the task of occupying Yanhe to Korea and Wei, and let Wang Ling withdraw his troops as a cover, and went down the mountain to Handan to make trouble. The king of Qin immediately sent a court proposal, and in the end, Wei Ran sent people to Han and Wei to inquire about it, and sent envoys to listen to the tone of the king of Han and Wei. As a result of the inquiry, the Han and Wei armies on the expedition had not returned, and the attitudes of the Han and Wei kings had not changed significantly.

A few days later, the lurking soldiers Cao and Gongzi sent people to send back the news: the Qin army appeared in Wu'an, but it was blocked by Zhao Hao's troops in the valley and could not escape. The Marquis ordered that Bing Cao and Gongzi Xuan get in touch with the Qin army of Wu'an and cooperate with them in battle, and then except for a few people who continued to lurk, the rest withdrew with Hu Yang.

Subsequently, Bing Cao reported that he had made contact with Hu Yang's department, and Hu Yang wanted to imitate the story of Kaifeng, confront Zhao Jun in Wu'an, consume Zhao Jun's money and food, and feed the machine to kill and injure Zhao Jun's troops. Wu'an is not like Kaifeng, there is no city, the defense system is relatively perfect, the scale of residents is relatively appropriate, the mobility is not large, and it is suitable for holding on to war; Wait until all the food in Wu'an is eaten, and then fight it out. The King of Qin agreed with Hu Yang's decision. It has been more than 20 days since these two back and forth, and there has been no news of Hu Yang since then, but gossip from all over the country keeps coming: the Qin army was hit hard by Zhao Hao on the outskirts of Handan and fled in embarrassment; Recently, news came that the Qin army seemed to have fled to several provinces, and the leader of the Han army, Gongzi, appeared near Anyi. It was rumored in the world that the Three Jin Dynasty secretly joined forces, causing the Qin army to suffer a secret loss; At present, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties and was being pursued by the Zhao army, while the Wei army intended to reclaim Anyi with the assistance of the Han army.

These rumors touched the hearts of the people of the Qin State. The life and death of tens of thousands of people are related to thousands of families, making everyone panic and uneasy, and rumors are circulating everywhere. Although there was no major movement under the harsh legal suppression, the unease was palpable. However, there was no official news above the court, and the officials were helpless except to send people to inquire about the news. Now that Hu Yang has sent someone back, he naturally brought the exact news, and whether it is a blessing or a curse will be revealed immediately. With a feeling of anxiety, all the Qin ministers walked to the gate of Zhangtai Palace and waited for the court meeting to begin.

However, at the beginning of the regular court meeting, Jingyang Jun came out to convey the decree of the King of Qin: Today's court meeting will be suspended for one day, and all the ministers will return home. All the ministers responded in unison, withdrew from Zhangtai Palace, and those who had deacons returned to Xianyang Palace to do business, and those who did not have deacons could go home, but today everyone also came to Xianyang Palace together.

The bell of "Lingling" rang again, and everyone dodged one after another, and saw that the people in the car were Wei Ran, the marquis, and Zhang Lu, the guest secretary. Under the eyes of everyone, the car crossed the Weiqiao Bridge and went straight to Xianyang Palace. Seeing this, the ministers also quickened their pace.

When Zheng Anping and Chen Si came to Xianyang Palace, the driver showed the festival charm. The waiter inspected the festival charm, and saw that it was the escort of the King of Qin's personal guards, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately asked the two to go to the secret office of the palace gate and let the two of them wait for a while. None of these attendants were qualified to register the two of them entering the palace, so they could only pass on the festival talisman and wait for someone to be sent from above.

When the waiter on duty received this festival, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to meet him. He didn't dare to ask questions, but he just tried to get close to the two of them, chatting with each other, just to kill time and wait for the end of the court.

The waiter didn't talk for too long, and the waiter came to report: "The marquis has returned, please go and see the second son." The waiter hurriedly invited the two of them out and hurried to the deep palace. The Marquis has an office in the Xianyang Palace, in a small room next to the main hall. Usually, most of them are not here, and only when they encounter very important and difficult events that need to be dealt with in time, they come here to work.

When entering the court just now, everyone saw two people sent directly to Xianyang Palace by stagecoach, and some people who knew them rumored that these two people were Zheng Anping and Chen Si. The news of Zheng Anping and Chen Si's entry into Xianyang spread.

Wei Ran is the Qin minister who is responsible for handling all the political affairs of the Qin State, and Zhang Lu is the "old superior" of Zheng Anping and Chen Si, and is their lord. As soon as they heard that the two of them were back, they knew that the matter was not trivial, so they hurriedly got together with the kings of Huayang, Jingyang, Gaoling, and Wu'an, and hurried into the palace to report to the King of Qin. King Qin knew the severity and said, "Hu Yang sent an envoy to Xianyang, and he should not ignore it. The court meeting was temporarily suspended, and the secretaries agreed on this matter to report to the widow! After discussing with several princes, it was decided that the marquis and Zhang Lu would go to Xianyang Palace to meet the two, Wu Anjun would sort out the army, Huayang Jun would sort out the grain, and Jingyang Jun and Gao Lingjun would be responsible for coordinating the internal and external affairs. The reason why Zhang Lu was specially arranged to participate in the reception was that the two military envoys who came back from Gaine were all Zhang Lu's protégés.

Chen Si took out a thick large volume of maps from his backpack, selected a few of them, and spread them out in front of the banquet, explaining in detail what Hu Yang passed along the way and the route of important actions. The marquis and Zhang Luchu were inadvertent, and gradually attracted by Chen Si's statement, and unconsciously gathered in front of Chen Si's seat, the three heads were tightly together, and even Zheng Anping couldn't see the situation on the picture, so he could only kneel on the side helplessly and listen to Chen Si speak. He found that Chen Si's words had a charm that went deep into the essence, and although he himself experienced it, he was also deeply attracted, and from time to time he had a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Chen Si said for an hour before he finished introducing the process. Wei Ran said indignantly: "Ning Xinzhong dares to be retributed!" He asked Chen Sidao again: "What is the Rui Ruo of the Wei and Han armies?" ”

Chen Sidao: "The middle and more led the army down the mountain, and the public took the army to return, and the Han and Wei armies were paid, so I didn't hear of it." ”

Wei Ran said: "Zhao Hao left the valley mouth suddenly, and moved to the mountain, and never saw him again?" ”

Chen Sidao: "I haven't seen it." ”

Wei Ran said: "The so-called Zhao Hao broke the Qin army and surrounded it, is it really nothing?" ”

Chen Sidao: "Our army did not fight with Zhao Hao. As soon as he left, he fell into an empty camp and entered Handan. ”

Zhang Lu said: "It is rumored that Han Wei betrayed Qin as Zhao and attacked the Qin army together, is there a problem?" ”

Chen Sidao: "No! The rear army has retreated, and the front and middle armies are there, so would it be a matter of please? ”
