Chapter 203: I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail! (Ask for subscription)
Linchen Mansion House.
Hu Hai sat on the mat, a little absent-minded.
A few days ago, he inadvertently received a secret letter that said that some people in the army had colluded with the Vietnamese.
The moment he saw this secret letter, Hu Hai was also shocked.
He originally wanted to take a walk near Linchen, but then he completely dispelled the idea, the Yue people and the Qin army were already like fire and water, if his whereabouts were leaked, he could not guarantee that the Yue people would take risks, he was not confident that he could survive the attack of the Yue people.
The most important thing is that the enemy is dark and I am clear.
He didn't dare to take any chances.
It's just that staying in Linchen City all the time is really not a way, so Hu Hai asked Zhao Gao and Ren Ao to secretly find out the true situation of the secret letter by asking about the distribution of money and rewards, and the other by using the relationship between their parents.
Boom!
Outside the house, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.
Hu Hai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked outside the house, only to see Zhao Gao and Ren Ao coming back.
Hu Hai hurriedly sat up from the seat, walked a few steps quickly, went to the two of them, and asked, "Zhao Gao, Ren Ao, have you found out anything outside in the past few days?" β
Zhao Gao shook his head.
He had already inquired very carefully.
It's just that people in Lingnan are not familiar with the place, and there are no acquaintances, even in the name of Hu Hai, they still haven't tried to find out any news.
And the time is too short.
If you don't know anything about the situation in the army, how can you ask for something?
Side.
Ren Ao also shook his head.
Hu Hai looked displeased and said dissatisfiedly: "I've given you a few days, why can't you get any news?" If the contents of this secret letter are true, am I not in danger at any time? Daqin has been fighting against Baiyue for nine years, and the Yue people have long hated Daqin, if something happens to me, can you afford it? β
Hu Hai scolded anxiously.
Zhao Gao and Ren Ao glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.
They had no idea about the situation in Lingnan, and it was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to inquire about the news based on a secret letter.
They really can't help it.
After Hu Hai scolded angrily, Ren Ao seemed to think of something, and said suspiciously: "Son, when I contacted the generals who were good friends with my father, I heard a general say that there is a general in the army named Lu Jia, and this person is not a Qin person, but a Yue person. β
"Yue Ren?" Hu Hai was stunned.
Ren Ao nodded and said: "This Lu Jia is not only a Yue person, but also the leader of a large ethnic group in Lingnan, when my father was ordered to conquer Lingnan, Lu Jia's tribe saw the might of our army, so he chose to surrender, and Lu Jia because he was born and raised in Lingnan, and he can speak the words of the Central Plains, he was exceptionally promoted to a general, and he has also made a lot of contributions in the army over the years. β
"However, this man has a stubborn and dull temperament, and he is not liked by the generals in the army."
"It's just that he is familiar with the local area, and he can talk to other Yue tribes, so he basically doesn't care much in the army."
"Then why did you mention this man?" Hu Hai asked.
Ren Ao's eyes were slightly downcast, and he said in a condensed voice: "This person seems to have a lot of feelings for the Yue people, and he has promoted many Yue officials in recent years. This person is also a Yue person, and Linchen is a small county, and the tiger's mouth is less than 10,000 households, which is not enough to be called a county order, and the reason why it can be called a county order in the end is because Lu Jia is helping. β
"Xia Guan thinks that there may be a problem with these Yue people."
Hear the words.
Hu Hai slapped the case angrily, and said angrily: "I knew that there was a problem with these two people, when they came to Linchen County, this county order used all kinds of cold words and used all kinds of words to intimidate me, and now it seems that they are clearly interested in it." β
"How unreasonable!"
Looked at.
Zhao Gao sneered: "Childe, since these Yue people's hearts are not correct, why don't you directly notify General Zhao Tuo and correct these people on the spot?" β
Hearing Zhao Tuo's suggestion, Ren Ao hurriedly stopped: "No." β
After all, these words are the unintentional words of a general in the army, how can they be convicted so easily because of their words? If they weren't spies in the army, wouldn't it chill the Yue people who took refuge in them? Wouldn't it allow the real spies in the army to succeed? β
"The lower officials think it's inappropriate."
Hu Hai thought about it and agreed with it.
Without evidence, how can we judge the life and death of others based on just some speculation?
Meanwhile.
Ren Ao continued: "Xia Guan has also thought about it for a few days, and he also feels a little strange about this secret letter. β
"Childe thought about it, if there was really a spy in the army, why didn't this person report it to General Zhao Tuo, but ran to choose to tell Childe?"
"Although Gongzi has a noble status, but after all, he is not in charge of the army, even if he really finds out the problem, he will eventually need General Zhao Tuo to deal with it, in addition, Daqin clearly ordered, 'If there is a submission, don't send it, see it burned', and the secret letter received by Gongzi is not nameless, so this matter cannot be said."
"Otherwise, Childe will have violated the law."
Hearing Ren Ao's words, Hu Hai's face twitched slightly.
Although he didn't want to admit it, what Ren Ao said was true.
Daqin does not support anonymous letters, and if someone submits an anonymous letter, the officials must burn it immediately.
If you really encounter injustice, you can only sue the official with your real name.
Otherwise, it will be treated as a false accusation.
Hu Hai coughed lightly, hid his embarrassment, and continued: "According to what Ren Ao said, this secret letter is fake? β
Ren Ao's face was solemn, and he said uncertainly: "The lower officials are not sure, but it is indeed possible to be false, but it is also possible to be true, if it is true, the situation may be a little worse." β
"Soldiers, the country's major affairs are also!"
"If there are Yue people in the army who work carefully and report the news, they will definitely be rewarded in the army, and now this person not only does not dare to report, but also submits a letter to the son with this illegal behavior, then there is only one possibility, that is, it is not that he does not want to report, but he can't report it, and he doesn't dare to report it."
"Because there may be a problem with the generals in the army!"
Ren Ao's words fell.
Hu Hai was instantly excited, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Zhao Gao listened for a while, and also understood Ren Ao's thoughts, and said: "Childe may not know, Lu Jia, who Ren Ao said just now, is very close to General Zhao Tuo, and has always entrusted Zhao Tuo with important tasks. β
Hu Hai's pupils shrank.
He was still a little incredulous.
Ren Ao said this, and finally pointed the finger at Zhao Tuo?
But is it possible?
Zhao Tuo is the chief general of the 500,000-strong army in the South China Sea, how can he collude with the Yue people?
That's impossible!
Hu Hai hurriedly shook his head and said: "This must be impossible, General Zhao Tuo is the pillar of the country, he has guarded the South China Sea for his father all these years, and he has worked hard, what can the Yue people buy Zhao Tuo?" This is absolutely impossible, Ren Ao, you probably guessed wrong. β
Ren Ao smiled bitterly.
Why didn't he want to be wrong?
It's just that you can't have the heart of harming others, and you can't have the heart of guarding against people.
He had to be cautious.
If Hu Hai really had an accident in the South China Sea, then the matter would be big, not to mention the accompanying officials, I was afraid that the entire South China Sea would be shaken three times.
However, Ren Ao was not flustered.
The 500,000 troops in the South China Sea belong to Great Qin.
Hu Hai in front of the army camp dealt with it very properly, and also saved a lot of military hearts, even if Zhao Tuo really has different intentions, the sergeant of the army may not be guilty of Zhao Tuo, he doesn't think that Zhao Tuo dares to really harm Hu Hai, Zhao Tuo is not that bold.
Hu Hai paced back and forth in the house.
He looked around and felt more and more that the South China Sea was dangerous.
He wasn't worried that the Qin people would do it to him, but what about the Yue people?
As the heir of the first emperor, he was afraid that these people had long regarded themselves as a thorn in the flesh and wanted to get rid of them quickly, he thought about it, and still felt that he should leave as soon as possible.
He said in a deep voice: "The money reward in the army should be almost distributed, right?" At present, regardless of whether the news on this secret letter is true or false, the environment here in Lingnan is indeed bad, and in the past few days, I have seen many people who have come here to vomit and diarrhea, and there are also Chinese army Sima poisoned. β
"This place is not to stay long."
"Zhao Gao, you will ask again later, if it is almost distributed, you should also prepare to go back."
Zhao Gao hurriedly promised.
Waiting for Zhao Gao and Ren Ao to leave, Hu Hai couldn't help but sigh, and said with sadness in his eyes: "Why are there so many things to do when you come out?" Originally, he said that he was in Panyu, but he ran to Linchen, and then he learned that there were spies in the army, which was really annoying. β
Hu Hai was restless in the house.
He took out the three bags on his sleeve, looked at the bags that had already been opened by himself, and said listlessly: "The tips given by Ji Heng are still too few, if you give a few more, you may be able to help find out the authenticity." β
"It's no wonder that Ji Heng asked me to grow branches outside the Lingnan Shaojie, I'm afraid that Ji Heng had long expected that there would be a situation here, and the soldiers in the South China Sea had been away from their hometown for too long, so it was inevitable that there would be no floats in their hearts."
"I just hope nothing happens later."
Hu Hai let out a long sigh.
Following.
Hu Hai told Zhao Tuo the news that he was leaving for the trip.
Hearing that Hu Hai was leaving, Zhao Tuo's face was different.
Hu Hai did not tell the secret letter, but simply said that the matter of the imperial court ordering him to come to the South China Sea had been completed, and it was time to leave.
Zhao Tuo was not suspicious.
During the period when Hu Hai came to the dust, he had been closed, obviously because he was a little uncomfortable with the hot climate here, and he was already pampered, so it was normal for him to stay in Lingnan and want to leave.
Therefore, Zhao Tuo did not persuade much.
Seeing Zhao Tuo loosen his mouth, Hu Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately asked Zhao Gao to inform him to leave for Xianyang as soon as possible.
The other side.
When Zhao Tuo returned to the camp and told the generals that Hu Hai was leaving, Lu Jia's face changed when he heard the news, and after the other generals left the camp, they also hurriedly found Zhao Tuo.
Seeing Lu Jia coming up, Zhao Tuo's heart sank, and he frowned: "What's wrong with you?" β
Lu Jia arched his hand and said, "General, Hu Hai can't be put back." β
Zhao Tuo didn't rush to speak, staring at Lu Jia with dark eyes, as if he wanted to see through Lu Jia.
Being stared at like this by Zhao Tuo, Lu Jia's heart trembled.
Lu Jia hurriedly said: "The general may not know, during this time, the two people around Hu Hai have been secretly inquiring about the news, combined with the information I have collected in the past few days, it seems that someone in the army has submitted a letter to Hu Hai, and Hu Hai seems to think that there are Yue people in the army who are meticulous." β
"The general has to guard against it!"
Hear the words.
Zhao Tuo's calm face showed a shocking change for the first time.
"What did you say?"
"Say it to me again!"
Lu Jia's face was pale, but he didn't dare to hide it, and told what he had heard, and then continued: "General, now that they have found out about my head, as long as you think about it a little, you will definitely suspect the general, if the general puts them back at this time, and when they report this matter, then the general will probably be implicated." β
"General, these hundreds of people can't go!"
Lu Jia took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "General, the matter has come to this, we can't hesitate anymore, we must make a decision quickly, now that the Ouluo area is not peaceful, the general can borrow a knife to kill people, and use the hands of these Yue people to kill hundreds of people in Hu Hai." β
"At that time, the general will get the news to wipe out these Yue people and avenge this Great Qin Prince, even if the Great Qin Court has objections, but in the South China Sea, how can the Qin Court really find out something?"
"In this way, the general can really feel at ease."
Lu Jia respectfully bowed his hand and waited for Zhao Tuo to make a decision.
Zhao Tuo looked at Lu Jia indifferently, with a hint of anger and sarcasm in his eyes.
Lu Jia has no brains, he is not yet.
Can Hu Hai be killed?
No!
If Hu Hai is dead, under the wrath of the First Emperor, who can stay out of the South China Sea? Lu Jia's idea is simply naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
But this is the Baiyue people!
These people are short-sighted, so they can let Baiyue people do things, but they can't really trust, these people have been living in the barren land of Lingnan, and they have no self-knowledge of their own abilities at all.
A group of frogs at the bottom of a well.
They were not aware of the horrific consequences of killing Hu Hai at all.
Zhao Tuo said coldly: "Needless to say, I can't agree." β
"Hu Hai must not die!"
"General." Lu Jia's expression was stunned, he thought that he had given a good plan, even if Zhao Tuo didn't think about him, he would have to think about himself, and he would eventually adopt it, but he never thought that Zhao Tuo didn't seem to have any intention of killing Hu Hai at all.
"Get out!" Zhao Tuohu was dumbfounded.
Lu Jia's complexion changed and changed, and in the end he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only leave aggrievedly.
In the tent.
Zhao Tuo's expression was also a little irritable.
He never thought that Hu Hai would hear about the details of the army, but whether there was or did not end up, it didn't matter, once Hu Hai returned to Xianyang, he would definitely report the matter to the first emperor, and then the court would definitely send someone down to investigate it strictly.
He wasn't worried.
He is indeed very close to Lu Jia, but he is only using Lu Jia's identity.
However, he has also heard of some situations in the army.
Among them, it is mainly related to his eldest son.
"Zhao Ying!"
"I used to indulge you too much."
"I'll see how you solve the basket you poked out this time."
"Lu Jia." Zhao Tuo snorted coldly, and a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Lu Jia can't stay.
He shouted outside the tent: "Come on, go and call Zhao Yi over to me." β
Leaving the camp, Lu Jia's eyes became colder and colder.
He can detect Zhao Tuo's hesitation and uneasiness, Zhao Tuo is afraid that he will not make a move, and Zhao Tuo is actually not involved in many things in the army, but Zhao Tuo feels very sorry for his son, so sometimes even if he knows, he will choose to turn a blind eye.
Zhao Tuo had a way out, but he didn't.
If the news of the fine work in the army was transmitted to Xianyang, and Xianyang ordered a strict investigation, he was very skeptical that Zhao Tuo would not protect himself, and if Zhao Tuo gave up on himself, then not only himself, but even his clan would be destroyed.
This is unacceptable to Lu Jia.
Lu Jia's face turned hideous, gritted his teeth and said: "General, since you don't want to do it, then I'll help you do it, Hu Hai has ruined such a big thing for us, how can you let him leave like this?" β
"He can't leave!"
"If you do something wrong, you will pay the price."
"And general, you are too indecisive, how can you be so hesitant to look forward to the future and backward when you have achieved great things? The geographical conditions of the South China Sea are wonderful, which is not something that ordinary people can imagine at all, as long as the road to the south of Guanzhong is blocked, no matter how strong Daqin is, what can I do? β
"And general, you don't pretend to be a decent man, don't you really know about these things that happened in the army? Zhao Yi can really move other generals with the name of your eldest son? β
"Now that something is going on, I want to just deny it, how can it be so easy."
"I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail!"
"General Zhao, you know this truth better than me."
Lu Jia sneered, shook his sleeves vigorously, and walked out of the barracks, he must inform the news as soon as possible, only in this way can he block Hu Hai on the road.
As long as Hu Hai is dead.
No matter how angry Zhao Tuo is, he can only accept the status quo.
At that time, he will have to rebel if he does not rebel.
Qin Ting couldn't tolerate him.
Not much.
Zhao Yi went to the big tent where Zhao Tuo was.
"Father, what are you looking for me?" Zhao Yi looked relaxed.
Zhao Tuo stared at Zhao Yi coldly and scolded, "Kneel down for me." β
Hearing Zhao Tuo's sudden anger, Zhao Yi was stunned, a little confused, and wondered: "Father, what's wrong with you?" I haven't you off all this time, have I? β
"Get on your knees!"
Hearing Zhao Tuo's scolding getting heavier and heavier, Zhao Ying was also a little panicked, you bent your legs and knelt down so much.
It's just that the eyes are full of confusion.
"Say, what have you done with Lu Jia behind my back all these years?!" Zhao Tuo asked.
Zhao Yi's eyes dodged, hung his head and said, "Father, how dare the child do things behind your back?" But why did my father suddenly ask about this? β
Zhao Tuo snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and said, "There is a rumor in the army. β
"Someone is colluding with the Baiyue people."
Hear the words.
Zhao Yi's face changed slightly, and he said unnaturally: "Father, I am your eldest son, how can I go to mix with the lowly Baiyue people." β
Zhao Tuo sneered and said, "Are you important now?" The important thing is that if someone believes it, don't hide it from me anymore, and tell me all the stinky things you've done over the years. β
"Otherwise, I won't be able to protect your !!"
Hearing Zhao Tuo say this, Zhao Ying's face showed fear for the first time, and he said uneasily: "Father, what is going on?" β
Zhao Tuo said indifferently: "Are you embarrassed to ask me?" Over the years, I have used my name to do evil in the army, do you really not know about me? What kind of virtue is Lu Jia, I know better than you, this person is not familiar with it, these Baiyue people are all blind, and they don't know how many catties and taels they have. β
"And you're being coaxed around by these people."
"If I don't tell me, I really don't know?"
"Over the years, you have been shaking the morale of the military with Lu Jia, trying to make the South China Sea self-reliant."
Zhao Yi lowered his head, and he didn't dare to speak.
"Say!" Zhao Tuo roared angrily.
Zhao Yi said in a trembling voice: "This is me."
"How many people do you associate with in the military?" Zhao Tuo's face was gloomy.
Zhao Yi said: "Not much, most of the generals ignore it, and father, the situation in the South China Sea is really different from Guanzhong, there are indeed 500,000 Qin people here, but a few years ago, the imperial court migrated 500,000 people, the situation in the South China Sea Father, you know, everyone who comes here is basically complaining about the Qin court." β
"And"
"Last time, there were a lot of nobles from the Six Kingdoms."
"So you're moved by what they say?" Zhao Tuo's eyes are full of hatred that iron does not become steel.
Zhao Yi nodded.
"Why did I, Zhao Tuo, give birth to such a thing as you, I am really going to be killed by you this time." Zhao Tuo pointed at Zhao Ying, and he was already angry.
Zhao Yi said: "Father, what happened?" β
Zhao Tuo said: "Someone stabbed the story of the Baiyue people in the army to the ears of Hu Hai Gongzi, and now Hu Hai Gongzi has decided to return to Xianyang, once Hu Hai Gongzi tells His Majesty about this, do you think I can still protect you?" β
Hear the words.
Zhao Yi's face changed suddenly.
He knows the stakes in this, and once he is passed on to Xianyang, he is afraid that no one will be able to protect himself.
He hurriedly said: "Father, how can there be any Baiyue spies in the army?" This is clearly slander, father, you have to make the decision for me. β
"Slander?" Zhao Tuo sneered and said disdainfully: "This can be explained by slander?" Do the things you do behind your backs really stand up to scrutiny? Once the imperial court sends someone down, I am afraid that the things that will be found out at that time will only be more serious than slander. β
Zhao Yi was dumbfounded.
What he did in private did not stand up to scrutiny.
He had always dreamed that he would one day become king.
Even if it's just in the South China Sea.
But also kings.
Therefore, after being noticed by Lu Jia, the two came together, but although Zhao Tuo is the chief general of the army, not all of the army are Zhao Tuo's cronies, so he and Lu Jia have been calculating other generals, assassinating these generals in various ways, and then letting Zhao Tuo's cronies take charge of the military step by step.
It's just that these things can't be put on the surface.
Once it's on the bright side.
It's a big deal.
Even if it is his father Zhao Tuo, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress the anger of the army.
"Father, what now? You must save me. Zhao Yi was already completely panicked, hugging Zhao Tuo's legs, and kept begging.
Seeing Zhao Yi's crying appearance, Zhao Tuo finally relented.
He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You send someone to follow Lu Jia secretly, pay attention to Lu Jia's every move, with Lu Jia's narrow knowledge, after Hu Hai Gongzi leaves Linchen, he will definitely find an opportunity to attack and kill, and when Lu Jia makes a move, you will immediately take action, save Gongzi, and kill Lu Jia at the same time." β
"Kill Lu Jia." Zhao Yi was stunned.
"You heard it right, you want to kill Lu Jia, this person knows too much about you, he can't keep him, and the son must not do anything." Zhao Tuo explained coldly.
"At the same time, I will also take action in the military camp and bring all the generals who had dealings with Lu Jia in the past to justice."
Zhao Yi swallowed his saliva.
Some can't believe their ears.
He said in a trembling voice, "Father, is this a bit too much?" β
"Ever?" Zhao Tuo opened his eyes violently, his eyes were full of crazy indifference, and said: "If you don't clean up everything in the army, once something goes wrong, it will not only affect you, but also me!" β
"If they dare to do these things with you, they should have thought about this fate."
Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of indifference.
I didn't care about the lives of those people at all.
Zhao Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and he said in a trembling voice: "Father, now most of the generals in the army have been replaced by your cronies, if there is no Hu Hai this time, it won't take a few years for these soldiers to completely abandon the Qin court." β
"Father, you will be the king."
"Now that these last steps are missing, how can you just give up?"
"Father."
Zhao Yi was extremely scared in his heart, but his desire to be the king overwhelmed the fear in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said: "Father, or I will believe Lu Jia again, didn't Hu Hai listen to the rumors, then kill Hu Hai, and then seal the truth of Qin Ting's southward journey." β
"What can Qin Ting do to us?"
"Father, you can't just give up halfway."
Hearing that Zhao Yi was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival at this time, Zhao Tuo also laughed angrily, and said coldly: "You have heard me clearly, my Zhao Tuo is a Qin general, and the soldiers under my command are the Great Qin soldiers, who are loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to the Great Qin, not my Zhao Tuo's private soldiers." β
"Do you really think that after the change of generals, the 500,000 army will obey my orders?"
"The Great Qin soldiers will only be loyal to the Great Qin Emperor."
"If you want to be the king, the soldiers will not accompany you to rebel."
"You've heard it before, and you've seen it, Hu Hai told them to go home, how excited the army is, and you are still trying to completely block the South China Sea from Daqin by blocking the road, which is completely wishful thinking."
"The imperial court only needs a letter of order, ordering the soldiers to return to Guanzhong, and at that time, the vast majority of these 500,000 soldiers in the South China Sea will not hesitate at all, and will leave directly, and you and our entire family, everyone's heads, will be cut off by these soldiers, hung around their waists, and dedicated to Xianyang."
"You're not young."
"I've also been sharpening in the army for a while, and I can still listen to Lu Jia's nonsense?"
"Ridiculous!"
"I'll tell you now."
"Your only chance to survive now is to annihilate Lu Jia and the others as soon as possible before Lu Jia moves Hu Hai Gongzi, if something happens to Hu Hai Gongzi, it will be too late."
"Don't go yet!" Zhao Tuo glared at Zhao Ying angrily.
Zhao Yi's heart was stunned, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he ran out of the tent with a roll.
Waiting for Zhao Yi to walk away, Zhao Tuo's expression softened, he frowned, thinking about who sent the letter to Hu Hai.
Subconscious.
He thought of Yang Wengzi.
It's just that after pondering for a while, he shook his head again, Yang Wengzi is now terminally ill, and after eating a few catties of Haigui, the whole person fell into a coma and lost a lot of weight.
Zhao Tuo thought about everyone else, but he was never sure who it would be.
Or maybe it's all possible.
But he knew very well in his heart that everything originated from Hu Hai.
If it weren't for Hu Hai's words, the generals in the army would still be very low, and they wouldn't choose to submit the book, but it was Hu Hai who said those words, and everything changed.
The situation of the past is shattered.
Zhao Tuo looked at the camp from afar, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and he became more and more gloomy.
Three days later.
After informing the generals in the army, Hu Hai stepped into the carriage on the return journey.
There were more than 700 soldiers in his entourage.
Initially.
Hu Hai even wanted to leave alone, but he just thought about it, he didn't dare to take such a risk, if he was caught, I was afraid he wouldn't even have a chance to struggle.
It's just that there are fewer cars and horses on the trip, so the speed of the return trip will not be too fast.
This also bothered Hu Hai.
If you can.
He wished that his entourage could have two more legs.
The carriage creaked forward, and the road back was not a flat road, and there was still a long distance from Linchen to Yangyue New Road, which also meant that it was not possible to go directly to the Chi Road.
Zhao Gao and Ren Ao were very vigilant.
They all know very well that before the group sets foot on the Yangyue New Road, their situation will be very dangerous, and even if they set foot on the Yangyue New Road, there will still be danger, but the Yangyue New Road is a straight road, and they will leave much faster when they arrive, and it is not easy for people to catch up.
However, the road ahead of the new road to Yangyue is not necessarily smooth.
Even crooked.
They are not familiar with the road, and they do not dare to wander through the dense forest, so they can only slowly follow the established path, which will undoubtedly give birth to many variables.
Carrying the rising sun.
Hu Hai's carriage galloped on the road, and the 700 men and horses who followed the escort were the most elite soldiers of the Qin army.
Zhao Gao's driving skills are indeed good.
It's amazing.
Even if the road is a little rugged and crooked, Zhao Gao's driving is still flat and steady, and it will not let the carriage have too violent turbulence, although it will inevitably be a little bumpy, but compared to others, Zhao Gao's driving level is undoubtedly higher.
Zhao Gao sat at the front of the car, looking relatively relaxed.
He looked around from time to time, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation.
In fact, he still hopes that something will happen, when Bolangsha, Zhang Liang assassinated His Majesty, it was he who saved the First Emperor with his superb driving skills, so he was reused by the First Emperor.
Now it seems to be my own opportunity again.
If he can make Hu Hai succeed in turning danger into a disaster as he did back then, he can not only win Hu Hai's trust again, but even enter the eyes of His Majesty again.
Come to think of this.
Zhao Gao was a little excited in his heart.
However, he didn't dare to be distracted too much, and he was preoccupied with driving.
The other side.
Ren Ao rode a horse and followed.
He didn't dare to be careless.
Yangyue New Road is starting from Hangu Pass, passing through Luoyang, Xinzheng, Anling south, passing through the old Chu Chencheng, Ruyin, arriving at the old Chu capital city Yingshou (Shouchun), in the south to Hengshan County, Changsha County, through the five mountains to reach Nanhai County, and then arrive at Guilin County.
This road is so long that even if it is a day and night, it will take ten days to return to Xianyang.
Ten days.
He can't be careless for a day.
Especially now it's still a section of the county road.
Just when the group left Linchen for less than a few dozen miles, suddenly in the surrounding leafy jungle, there were bursts of thin ropes, and then the sound became louder and louder, and finally turned into a rain of arrows.
Looked at.
Ren Ao's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack!" β
"The whole army is lined up to meet the enemy!"
In the carriage, Hu Hai, who was originally a little sleepy, heard Ren Ao's voice, and the whole person instantly became agitated, and immediately fell asleep, and hurriedly climbed under the desk, not daring to make any sound.
After a rain of arrows, the speeding convoy stopped.
