Zhao Gao glared angrily at the soldier, but the soldier was speechless.

In fact, even Zhao Gao himself knew that he was angry.

He is the commander of the CRRC government, and the commander of the CRRC government is in charge of the affairs of public opinion, and to put it bluntly, he is the driver and groom of the first emperor.

As for his general knowledge of criminal law, he only existed as an adviser to the First Emperor and others, and did not have real power in criminal law.

And the reason why he was able to grasp Li Si's handle, and even get involved with all kinds of people, was because of the plan he relied on.

There is a saying that is not wrong, in the hidden palace, there are all kinds of talents.

After all, the first emperor valued the Legalist family, despised the hundred schools of thought, and hated the Zongheng family.

The reason for this is naturally that Qin was the strongest country during the Warring States Period, and it was aggressive, and the columnists came and went, all of them were enemies of Qin.

For example, the famous combination of vertical and horizontal. The combination of vertical and horizontal is a diplomatic concept put forward by a group of vertical and horizontal families headed by Su Qin, Zhang Yi, and Gongsun Yan, or careerists, and it was very popular in the late Warring States period.

Among them, it is needless to say that the six countries joined forces to resist the strong Qin, and it was said that the alliance was longitudinal, so Su Qin admired the seal of the six countries.

And the key is Lian Heng, the world thinks that Lian Heng is for Liqin, but it is not.

Lianheng was proposed by Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi's original intention was that small countries would take the opportunity of forming alliances with powerful countries to attack other small countries, take the opportunity to annex land, and strengthen their own strength. During the Warring States period, there were two major powers, one was Qin and the other was Chu.

Lian Heng is to jump horizontally between these two countries, waiting for the price and selling, which is the origin of "Chao Qin and Twilight Chu".

Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan and others were already one, and in the late Warring States period, various countries attacked, to put it bluntly, it was these three people who stirred up the storm. First, he cooperated to curb Qin's expansion, and then broke the alliance with a series of horizontals, and what he did was only for personal gain.

Therefore, the first emperor hated the Zongheng family, saying that the Zongheng family was the source of the troubled times, and he cleaned it up with heavy hands. As a result, most of the prominent Zongheng families in the Warring States Period ended up in the Hidden Palace.

The Zongheng family is good at planning, can guess people's hearts, and completely put the righteousness behind, and does not hesitate to mess with the world for personal interests. Once imprisoned in the Hidden Palace, it was like raising Gu.

Zhao Gao has been able to live in the Hidden Palace for many years, so he is naturally a leader in this area.

To put it bluntly, the strategy he did this time was still a concerted effort, uniting a group of people with a common interest, and exerting force everywhere, the purpose was to pull down Fusu Mengtian and let Hu Hai take the position.

However, this is easier said than done. Not to mention, it took a lot of effort to make Li Chao the leader of the Guard Army this time.

Li Chao is a famous general, and although the Li family is declining, it was also the home of Zhong Mingding's food, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff. Not to mention anything else, there are still many generals in the Qin army who were once under Li Xin, and there are also allies of the Li family in the DPRK.

This is true for the Li family, and even more so for the Wang family. At that time, the so-called country was still a clear family association, even if it was the emperor, it was only the most powerful of the families, far from the divinity of later generations.

Therefore, the so-called struggle for power and profit, and even the struggle for the throne, in essence, is still a family war. The invincible Qin army is actually composed of armed forces similar to the family's private soldiers.

Zhao Gao worked hard and planned day and night, in essence, in order to use the name of Hu Hai to gather more powerful military forces to fight against Fusu and Meng Tian.

And now, he's close to success!

The reason why Wei Wei was able to become one of the Nine Qing was because the previous Wei Wei participated in the rebellion. Therefore, the first emperor used a slave as the Jiuqing, that is, the nobles refused to associate with the slaves, so that they could guarantee their loyalty.

However, he is more than loyal, incompetent, and old, and in urgent need of replacement. If Li Chao can be allowed to make the merit of following Hu Hai to kill Jiao, and he has to train troops on weekdays, and he is the son of Li Xin, it is logical to succeed him in charge of the Weiwei Army.

It's hard to plan. The Weiwei Army was the first emperor's pro-army, and no one could interfere. How to make Li Chao able to play is the big problem.

Zhao Gao personally protected for this, although the First Emperor responded to his invitation, but Zhao Gao knew that the First Emperor was suspicious, and at this time he would be wary of his interference in the Weiwei army.

As for slaying demons and evils, it's really not worth mentioning.

Unexpectedly, it was this most unlikely place where there would be a big problem!

Li Chao is Zhao Gao's personal protection, and his words are conclusive, and he can't bear to bury the famous general. If it weren't for that, it would not be possible to restrain the heart of the Li family and make him willing to be used by Zhao Gao.

This move is also to bind Zhao Gao and Li Chao together, Li Chao made meritorious contributions, and Zhao Gao naturally made meritorious contributions. Li Chao made a mistake, and Zhao Gao was guilty of the same crime.

As a result, this Zhao Gao was blown as if he didn't need to use it, and Daqin would be overturned, and he actually got lost on Langya Terrace!

Langya Terrace!

A earthen platform that is no more than seven miles wide, less than a hundred feet high, and has an unobstructed view!

How can I get lost?

How dare you get lost?

Moreover, if you get lost, you get lost, what does it mean to get back to the car?

Zhao Gao, as the commander of the CRRC, naturally knew that if the military vehicle turned at a large angle, it would be easy to fall off the wheel.

And a U-turn is more dangerous than a turn.

The military vehicle is heavy, although the volume is not large, but in order to cope with the impact of bumps, the upper and lower parts of the body are made of large wood. If the wheel falls off and it overturns, the soldier in the car will be injured.

Moreover, the military vehicle has a special significance in the battle array, and the direct formation of pure cavalry troops is a matter of recent years.

Therefore, the damage to the military vehicle is more serious than the loss of the soldiers!

This is the reason why Zhao Gao is angry.

No need to ask him, he knows that entering the car will inevitably cause damage to the military vehicle.

And if the chariot is damaged, there will be a soldier who will be wounded.

It means that before he walked in front of Jiao, Li Chao had already lost his troops!

To be honest, if Li Chao fails in this trip, Zhao Gao can accept it.

After all, the failure of the Jiao Jiao shows that this Jiao has magical powers, not a crime of war. Li Chao may go to prison, at least Zhao Gaobao is not wrong.

But what the hell are you lost?

What does carriage return mean?

If the First Emperor had learned about this, he would have asked him.

Er Zhao Gaobao raised a general who could get lost on Langya Terrace, but this person didn't see it, and he had already lost his troops.

But you blow him into a peerless general, what does this mean?

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gao pressed the absurdity and anger in his heart.

There is still room for redemption in this matter!

Five days ago, the First Emperor had already begun fasting and praying in the palace in preparation for the worship of heaven.

And there are five days of fasting and prayer, and during these five days he will neither deal with state affairs nor see foreign ministers!

It is a slight twist and turn in the process of chopping Jiao, and hearing it at this moment is completely different from hearing it five days later!

The so-called time passes, as long as the demon is beheaded, the first emperor's mind is on the sacrifice to the sky, how can he investigate too much what happened in the process of beheading?

Shaking his sleeves, Zhao Gao straightened out his clothes and moved his toes again.

The toe was painful, apparently kicked on the copper basin and broke.

He held back the pain, a calm smile appeared on his face again, and he said apologetically to Li Si: "I have a slight gaffe, don't blame Tingwei." ”

Li Si had already taken off the deep clothes on his body directly, and while motioning to the slave to bring him dry clothes, he glanced at Zhao Gao lightly, and secretly sneered in his heart.

He obeyed Zhao Gao's orders, just because he had a handle in Zhao Gao's hands and Hu Hai, and he was not concentric with Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao is a person of Xing Yu, and although he is the son of Jiuqing, Zhao Gao's grandfather is only an ordinary family of Zhao State, and his background is actually very low.

In this way, it is normal for upbringing to be worried.

However, although he was slanderous in his heart, Li Si did not show anything on his face, and he said disapprerovitously: "The CRRC government order is just concerned about it!" ”

"I never thought that the son of Da Changxin would be so unbearable, it can be said that he is the second on paper!" A wry smile appeared on Zhao Gao's face.

"Or maybe there's something wrong with this fog." Li Si was really considerate at this time.

And Zhao Gao was slightly moved in his heart: "I don't know the soldiers, dare to ask the Lieutenant of the Sect, the army is lost in the fog, how to deal with it?" ”

He was telling the truth, although he studied Zonghengjia, and in order to please the first emperor, he studied Legalism hard. However, he does not know much about the affairs of the soldiers.

Li Si is different, although he is not a soldier, he is also a hero of the unification of the six countries, and he knows how many soldiers.

"It's a little thing." It was rare for Zhao Gao to have such a low voice, Li Si touched his black hair with a smile, "Have you forgotten that there is Sinan in the army?" ”

Zhao Gao stroked his forehead, slightly ashamed.

"If I care, it's messy!"

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Langyatai, with murderous intent: "I hope that the son of Da Changxin, I still know how Sinan should identify it!" ”

……

Li Chao didn't know that he was already a complete fool in Zhao Gao's heart at this time.

Just like Hu Hai looked at him at this time.

Of course, it is not accurate to say that I don't know. It should be said that he didn't dare to think about it at this time, and he didn't have time to think about it.

At this time, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, looking at a somewhat hazy tree in front of him, and a chill was rising in his heart.

This tree was already very familiar to him, and it was even engraved in his heart.

It's a crooked-necked tree.

"Why is this tree here?" He spoke silently.

He remembered very well that he entered the mountain road from the west side of Langya Terrace, and then walked eastward.

The crooked neck tree is located on the outside of the mountain road, or on the right side of the road, on his right hand.

Then he turned around on the spot, and at this time he walked on the left side of the road, the right hand side became the inside of the mountain road, and the left hand was the outside of the mountain road.

In other words, at this time, the crooked neck tree has reached his left hand side. In terms of orientation, it is the south.

However, at this time, the crooked neck tree appeared squarely on the inside of the mountain road, which was originally the location of the royal road!

What the hell is going on?

Could it be that this tree has feet and can walk?

But the tree may be a spirit, with long legs, and can walk.

Does the royal road also have long legs and can walk?

Langyatai also has long legs and can walk?

This side was originally the inner side of the mountain road, and it was also the side of the third layer of earthen platform.

Now even the earth platform is gone!

Li Chao froze in place at this time, how could there be such a miraculous thing in the world?

"Riding Captain!"

A voice suddenly sounded, but it was Hu Hai.

He had already seen that something was wrong at this time, after all, this crooked neck tree was so characteristic that it had appeared several times in a short period of time.

He looked at Li Chao with blazing eyes, and his tone was firm.

"This must be done, and the ghost is also!"

Li Chao was stunned.

Ghosts?

Ghost hitting the wall?

The theory of ghosts and gods has arisen since the Shang period. The earliest ghost character is a pictograph, which is the image of a villain kneeling with the head of the Tian character.

The word Tian represents the mask. Therefore, the earliest ghost characters refer to those who wear masks and kneel to worship, which is a metaphor for the dead.

By the time of the Qin Dynasty, the theory of ghosts and gods was already extremely mature. From time to time, there is the "Book of Days", which combines the auspicious and evil events of the astronomical calendar with all daily behaviors, including weddings and funerals, houses, travels, etc.

It's just that there are "Book of Days" everywhere, many and miscellaneous, all of which are made for witches from all over the world, and no one dares to say that they have read all the "Book of Days".

However, the ghost Li Chao knows, because this is from "Blame". "Blame" is a book dedicated to ghosts, and there is one in the aristocratic family in these days.

And the ghost is from this book, and it is also the ghost that Li Chao is most familiar with. This ghost is a person who gets lost, and scouts in the army often encounter this ghost, trapped somewhere, and can't get out no matter what.

"Zuo Biography" has a saying that in the fifteenth year of Lu Xuangong, the Qin army attacked Jin. The Jin general Wei Wei and the Qin general Du Hui fought against the Fu clan, and the two generals fought and were inseparable.

Du Hui is a famous strong man, when he saw that Wei Hui was about to lose, Du Hui suddenly stood unsteadily and fell, Wei Hui took the opportunity to capture Du Hui, and the Qin army was defeated.

That night, an old man entered Wei's dream, saying that he was the father of Wei Wuzi's concubine. Wei Wuzi was Wei Mei's father, and when the nobles died, they needed to be buried as concubines, but after Wei Wuzi died, Wei Liang remarried his concubine.

Therefore, although the father of the concubine has died as a ghost, he still stumbled Du Hui with grass and helped Wei Wei win as revenge.

This is the origin of the knot grass in the "knot grass ring". The old man is the so-called ghost, if he trips the horse's hooves, he will have grass, and if he is trapped, he will have a wall.

That is, the ghost hits the wall.

As a general of the army, Li Chao is naturally familiar with the so-called ghosts and knotted walls, however, is it possible?

He subconsciously looked around, and at this time the surroundings were already white, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Even the heavenly sun is hidden in the fog.

However, he couldn't see it clearly, and he also knew that he was in Langyatai at this time!

Langya Terrace, the land of the gods, the gods are yang, the ghosts are yin, and the ghosts see the gods, just like the snow sees the scorching sun.

What the hell would dare to run rampant in such a land of gods?

Moreover, ghost hitting the wall only occurs at night, and can only occur in places where the sun is not visible, such as woods, caves, etc. Otherwise, with the ability of scouts in the army, whether it is watching the sun or the stars, or looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers, they can determine the direction and easily get out of trouble.

When the sky is blue and the sun is white, how can there ever be a ghost?

However, Hu Hai's words reminded Li Chao, and he patted the iron helmet again in annoyance.

I haven't been to the battlefield for a long time, slack off!

Although he was the commander of the Guard Army, he commanded the strongest army in the world, but the Guard Army never had the opportunity to fight.

Although Li Chao has been practicing every day, however, the drill is different from the real battlefield, the drill is controllable, and on the battlefield, any accident can happen!

That's why, when he was lost at this moment, he couldn't even think of the artifact in the army!

"The general is knowledgeable, and he doesn't treat it much!"

"Where are the scouts?" He didn't care to pay much attention to Hu Hai, let out a perfunctory compliment, and then turned his head and let out a loud roar.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, revealing a sense of caution, and it was obvious that the scout had also been blocked by the thick fog at this time, and could only follow the sound.

"So-and-so!" With a few voices, three or four horses cautiously emerged from the fog, and the soaking scout jumped off his horse, ready to salute Li Chao.

"No need to bow down!" Li Chao waved his hand fiercely, and he looked at one of them: "Take Si Nan!" ”

Discerning the direction for the army is a matter of scouts, so scouts will carry things like Sinan with them.

Several scouts quickly untied a cowhide bag hanging from their waists, Li Chao didn't bother to wait, he grabbed the cowhide bag directly from one of them and opened it casually.

Inside the cowhide bag were some maps, dry food, arrows and other things, Li Chao took out a copper plate from the bag, and took out a stone spoon.

The copper plate is carefully placed on the wheel, and the copper plate is polished to a very bright color, if it is not blackened, it must be used as a mirror.

The stone spoon is also jet black, Li Chao gently put the spoon in the center of the copper plate, gently turned the spoon handle, and the stone spoon began to dripping on the copper plate.

And Li Chao was wide-eyed, and he didn't dare to come out.

After ten breaths, the spoon finally stopped, and the handle pointed squarely to his side.

"This is the South!" Li Chao's brows furrowed instantly, and then they quickly separated.

The direction pointed by the spoon handle is very strange, and Li Chao can't connect his behavior since taking the stage with this direction anyway.

However, that's not the point!

The key is that Sinan is an artifact in the army, and it is rumored that in the past, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought and encountered a dense fog, so they relied on Sinan's car to guide the direction, so as to find the right path.

Both use Si Nan and believe in Si Nan, and to be honest, Li Chao already has doubts about the so-called location in his heart at this time.

"In this way," he stepped out in the direction pointed by Sinan, and stretched out one hand, "We should go this way......"

"Riding Captain!"

A voice sounded, interrupting Li Chao's calculations, and he turned his head viciously to look at the person who made the voice: "What's the matter!" ”

"Ride the captain and look at ......" was also a scout, he was a little nervous at this time, and his whole body was trembling.

"What are you looking at?" Li Chao's voice was even more severe, the Weiwei Army was the strongest army in the world, and the scouts were the most brave in the army, otherwise they would not dare to rush into the enemy army with several horses.

However, this scout trembled all over his body because of his angry reprimand, and it was in front of the young man Hu Hai, which was a shame for the Wei Wei Army!

"A certain Sinan, the guide is ...... for this," the scout cautiously pointed behind him.

"Nonsense! Sinan is a guide, how can Sinan refer to the East ......"

Li Chao scolded angrily, and subconsciously glanced down at the ground, the scout's Sinan was on the ground at this time, and the first time he saw Sinan, Li Chao was suddenly stunned.

I saw the Si Nan on the ground, and at this time, the spoon handle was indeed pointing in the direction behind him, as the scout said.

A touch of cool air suddenly rose from the soles of Li Chao's feet, and instantly spread to his whole body.

He gritted his teeth fiercely and looked at the other scouts: "What about Sinan?" ”

There was no need for other scouts to reply, at this time, Li Chao had already seen three Sinan on the ground, obviously when he gave the order, the other scouts had already taken out Sinan and began to identify the direction.

And the three Sinan, plus the one that Li Chao put on the wheel, a total of four.

The four Sinans, each referring to one side, are not the same!

Li Chao was dumbfounded, he only felt as if his soul was frozen in an instant.

Sinan is also made of magnets. Qin Shi has already figured out the basic characteristics of magnets, such as the genus of magnets that can absorb gold and iron, and are divided into yin and yang poles, which are mutually exclusive and mutually attracting.

And Sinan is made according to the yin and yang poles, spoon Bing is the cathode, guide, because the south is yang.

In addition to not knowing the so-called geomagnetism, but calling it yin and yang, the Qin people's understanding of Sinan is already enough to be comparable to later generations, and even new forms of Sinan such as the so-called hanging needle method have appeared.

Sinan is extremely reliable, unless it encounters a genus with a magnetic mountain nearby. However, Langya Mountain is by no means a magnetic mountain!

Even Sinan can't show the right direction, this is definitely not something that the so-called ghosts can do!

"Find the sun quickly!" Li Chao suddenly roared, he glanced at the scouts with a crazy face, and took the lead in looking up at the sky.

Not only him, but several scouts, and even the nearby soldiers who could hear his orders, all looked up at the sky in unison.

The thick fog has shrouded the four fields, and the sky and the earth are vast, and it is impossible to even distinguish where is the sky and where is the earth!

Li Chao patrolled the sky inch by inch, carefully observing the subtle changes in brightness in the fog.

"Found it!" A crying voice of joy suddenly sounded, and Li Chao turned his head when he heard the sound, only to see a scout pointing to a certain place in the sky with a happy face.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Li Chao was also overjoyed!

I saw that in the mist, there was a faint halo hanging in the sky. This halo is so blurry that it's easy to miss it if you don't look closely.

And at a glance, this halo can't see the shape of the sun at all, and you need to stare carefully to be able to leave a round shadow in front of your eyes at the moment your eyes move.

Li Chao's eyes were fixed on the halo, and he blinked his eyes quickly, and he watched for ten breaths before he closed his eyes.

The next moment, his eyes opened suddenly, and a terrifying light passed through his eyes.

"This is indeed the sun!"

With a hint of pleasure and humiliation that was about to expose his opponent's tricks, he gritted his teeth and spoke: "When we go up the mountain, it is the beginning of the eclipse time, and the sun is rising at that time, and it is due east!" ”

The time of eating is from seven o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the morning, and there are also twelve hours in the Qin period, but the name is different from the twelve earthly branches in later generations, such as the time before seven o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock is the time of the hour, and the time of eating in the Qin period is called the time of eating, that is, the time of breakfast.

"At the end of the eclipse, we have reached the second layer of the mountain road!" He calculated quickly.

As the name suggests, the last food is the end of eating. At the beginning of the last eclipse, it naturally refers to a little after nine o'clock in the morning.

"At this time, it is about the last eclipse, and the sun has reached the southeast!"

"If this side is southeast, then this side is ......" he turned his head to look behind him in the direction of the sun.

But before the sentence was finished, another exclamation sounded.

"Riding Captain!"

"What's the matter?" Li Chao quickly turned around, looked at the person who opened his mouth with murderous anger, and involuntarily touched the hilt of the sword with his hand.

This person was the scout who had previously said that Si Nan's direction was inconsistent, and Li Chao couldn't wait to cut him with a sword, because every time he spoke, nothing good happened, and his face was hateful.

At this moment, he was already weeping bitterly.

"Ride the captain and look!" The weeping scout trembled and raised his hand to signal to Li Chao.

Li Chao forcibly pressed the urge to slash this person with a sword, and looked at the sky along his arm.

The next moment, like a fierce thunder exploding overhead, Li Chao froze in place again.

I saw that the direction pointed by the scout was also faint, exactly the same as the halo he had just seen!

With a "bang", Li Chao involuntarily sat on the ground.

He stared blankly at the sky, and there were two halos hanging opposite each other in the sky at this time, and the two halos were exactly the same, far away from each other.

It turned out to be two days!
