Chapter 18: The State of Qin

"This is the Qin Kingdom, and it's not good!"

After traveling on the giant flying beast for more than ten days, and finally came to the Qin State, Li Ling came out of the Qin State Air Transport Division, looked at the capital in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

A large continuous city in sight is the capital of Qin.

Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the continuous buildings and pavilions occupy the entire depression.

At this time, it was the time when the sky was not yet bright, and the east was just a little bright, and the sky was floating with a faint white mist.

The city in front is bathed in mist, and the shadows are abundant, quite a kind of 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain.

It's just that these buildings seem to be very old and have shown some dilapidation.

Because of the cry of the giant bird of the Air Transport Division, the Air Transport Division of various countries was built outside the capital, and Li Ling went out of the Air Transport Division and had a long way to go to Xianyang.

There was an endless stream of carriages coming and going, and the people who accompanied Li Ling out of the air transportation division were all picked up by carriages or sedan chairs, and after a while, he was left alone.

Several middle-aged women on the side of the road came over and greeted him warmly.

"Little brother, is the guest house clean? ”

"Little brother, stay in my house, five-star service. ”

"Brother, there is a special service, student sister, the service is guaranteed to be first-class. ”

......

Li Ling took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to one of the women, "Ask you something, where is the mansion of Bai Sheng, the general of the Qin State?"

"General Bai Sheng?"

Hearing Li Ling's words, the faces of several women changed, and the smile of the woman who was dazzled by the silver stopped smiling, and even stuffed the silver back into Li Ling's hand, turned around and left, and the other people were afraid to avoid it, and went to the side to solicit other guests.

Leaving Li Ling confused.

"What's the situation?"

"Could it be that there is no Bai Sheng here, I remember that the old guy clearly said that his descendants are generals in the Qin State, and they are quite famous!"

Li Ling carefully reflected on the reactions of the women just now, and vaguely felt that there was something else hidden.

Let's ask someone more.

He walked towards the city gate for a while, and saw that there were temporary huts built of firewood and grass not far from each other on both sides of the road, and some ragged people called Huazi lived in them, it seemed that the economy of this Qin State was not good, and it was not a grade compared to the Wei State.

When he was about to reach the city gate, he was greeted by an old man in tattered clothes leading a little boy.

"Good Samaritan, give me something to eat, the child hasn't eaten for two days!"

The old man stretched out the broken bowl in his hand to Li Ling, his face full of pleading.

Li Ling sighed secretly, took out a piece of silver and threw it into the broken bowl, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, let me ask you something." ”

"Thank you so much, thank you so much, Xiaole, kowtow to Engong. The old man pulled the child and kowtowed to Li Ling, but was stopped by Li Ling.

"If there is anything about Engong, please tell me, the little old man knows everything. ”

Li Ling: "I just came to Qin State, I came to find General Bai Sheng, can the old man tell me how to go?"

"General White?"

The old man reacted the same as the women who solicited customers just now, and his face changed, but he didn't turn his head and leave, but looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one, he said in a low voice: "What is the relationship between Gongzi and General Bai?"

When Li Ling heard that there was a door, he said: "He is a friend of my grandfather, and I am here to seek refuge in him." ”

The old man didn't answer, but pulled Li Ling to the side of the road and said in a low voice: "Childe, you don't know yet, the emperor issued an edict the day before yesterday, saying that General Bai Sheng collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.

General Bai has been imprisoned in the prison, this is a big crime of the Jiu clan, I heard that it will be executed in a few days, the Bai family has been raided, you better leave quickly, don't say that it is General Bai's old man, it is not good if others know. ”

"Oh, I see?" Li Ling muttered, no wonder those soliciting women just now had such a big reaction.

"General Bai is a great hero of our Qin State, and the common people know that he must have been wronged, but now that the traitorous minister is in charge, the lord is mediocre, and no one dares to come out and say a word knowing that General Bai has been wronged!" the old man sighed.

Li Ling: "Thank you, uncle, tell me how to go to Baifu." ”

"Childe, you can't go, now the inner and outer Baifu are all people from the imperial court. The old man said in fear.

Li Ling smiled: "It's okay, I'm just going to take a look." ”

"You have to be careful, now those officials are indiscriminate, remember not to stay in the White Mansion, you have been walking along this road for ......"

The old man was helpless, so he had to say how to get to Baifu.

Li Ling took out another piece of silver, touched the child with a face full of vegetables, stuffed it into the child's hand, and said: "Go learn a craft, grow up and rely on technology to eat, remember not to go to the temple in the future." ”

He turned and strode away, leisurely, but disappeared into a faint white mist in the blink of an eye.

"Grandpa, this brother is so strange. Looking at Li Ling, who was gradually disappearing, the little boy said in a milky voice.

The old man came back to his senses after a while, and said softly: "This little brother doesn't seem to be an ordinary person!"

Li Ling walked to the city gate, and several soldiers guarding the gate stopped him to check, and he sent him away with a few pieces of loose silver.

Just as he was about to step in, there was a neighing of horses and dogs barking from inside the city gate, and the city gate was opened, and a team of knights with eagles and horses rushed from the long street to the city gate, dusty and rampant.

Li Ling flashed to the side of the road, and at the front of this group of knights was an old man in brocade clothes of about fifty, followed by a man in a black robe of twenty-seven or eight, straddling his horse and raising his whip, full of spirit.

The team of knights who followed the two were also horses and fresh clothes, and they were sturdy, and they looked like warriors who had been practicing for many years.

Several soldiers defending the city stood up and saluted the group.

The group of people went on a rampage, and the pedestrians on the road were afraid to avoid it, and if there were those who could not dodge, the knight whipped away, and laughed at the miserable situation of the pedestrians.

The dogs were on the move, and the vicious dogs barked at the pedestrians, and there was a burst of people on the side of the road who turned on their backs, crying for their fathers and calling for their mothers, and immediately the knights laughed without slowing down at all.

The young man in the black robe rode to the gate of the city, whipped at Li Ling, and shouted, "Boy from there, get out of the way." ”

"Huh. ”

The whip fell, and it did not happen that Li Ling was holding his head and running around in the young man's imagination, but was caught by the other party in his hand.

The young man was a little stunned, and then he was furious.

"Let me go!"

The young man was annoyed and angry, and jerked suddenly, but he did not move.

Li Ling snorted and pumped back.

The young man felt a huge force coming from the whip, and he couldn't resist at all, and the whip flew out of his hand.

The horse under his crotch was frightened, neighed, the man stood up, and the young horseman's riding skills were also good, and at the critical moment, his legs tightly clamped the horse's belly, so that he did not fall off, but he was embarrassed.

Bold!"

The three knights who followed closely behind the black-robed young man drew out their long knives at their waists and surrounded Li Ling in the middle.

Li Ling looked at the few people coldly, didn't speak, threw the whip on the ground, and slammed a punch towards the city wall on the side.

With a loud bang, the city wall collapsed into a piece, and several horses were frightened, neighing and retreating, but thanks to the superb riding skills of several knights, they did not scatter and flee.

There were idlers watching the excitement on the side of the road, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

Several knights were shocked, but they stepped forward because of their master's side.

"Stop!"

A majestic voice came from outside the circle, and it was the old man and the black-robed young man who dismounted and walked over.

The old man looked dignified and quite majestic, he looked at the big hole in the city wall, looked at Li Ling's eyes with a little more appreciation, and said with a smile: "Little brother divine power, the child is young and ignorant, and I still look at the little brother Haihan." ”

As he spoke, he turned to the black-robed young man beside him, "You'er, quickly apologize to this little brother." ”

Although the black-robed young man was full of reluctance, he was afraid of his father's majesty, and immediately hugged his fist at Li Ling, "This brother, I was reckless, I'm sorry." ”

Li Ling saw that the identity of the person in front of him was not ordinary, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he replied lightly.

"Listen to me, don't go on a rampage when you go hunting in the future, otherwise don't blame the old man for being polite. The old man in brocade shouted, and all the knights claimed to be.

The old man in brocade re-mounted, looked back at Li Ling, suddenly reached into his arms, took out a token and threw it, and said with a smile: "Little brother can come to the old man with the token, and the old man will definitely give the little brother a chance." ”

A group of people went quickly, Li Ling looked down at the sign in his hand, the back of the quaint token was engraved with a dragon, but the front was a "Li" word.

At this time, the soldier who had just received Li Ling's silver stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother is so blessed, he can be appreciated by the Prime Minister, his future is bound to be limitless, this is a little bit of our brother's heart, please accept it." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the silver that Li Ling had just given out along with a cloth bag, which was bulging and full of silver.

It turned out that the person just now was the prime minister of the Qin State, no wonder he was so majestic.

Li Ling smiled, took the silver money handed over by the soldiers, and strode towards the city under the flattering eyes of several soldiers.
