my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 387 Three points into the stone!

Seeing that it was Zhao Quan, the foreign manager, Hu Hai lazily lay back down again, with no waves in his eyes. At this time every day, he, the foreign minister, would come over as usual to ask for instructions on the affairs of the government.

But now, where else do I need to ask for instructions on matters in my house?
  It's nothing more than what to eat in the morning, what to eat at noon, what to eat in the evening, or which wife and concubine to sleep with at night...

Nothing new at all!

Before Zhao Quan could open his mouth, Hu Hai waved his hand in annoyance.

"Go and tell them that I, my lord, will not go anywhere tonight. I will rest by myself in the study..."

Zhao Quan opened his mouth, but bowed first and responded.

"No, I will ask someone to heat up the floor over there and use aromatherapy..."

Although someone cleans the study every day, the eighteenth son of his family has not been to the study for who knows how long since he was confined in the house. After all, he lacks some human atmosphere. Now that the young master plans to go there at night, he naturally has to tidy up first.

Hu Hai nodded obediently and waved his hand towards Zhao Quan, indicating that he could go down.

After a while, seeing Zhao Quan still standing there, he said slightly surprised.

"Do you have something else to do..."

Zhao Quan then leaned forward and said respectfully.

"Back to the young master, someone from the Fourth Young Master's house sent an invitation to the madam, saying that she was going to invite her to a banquet. The madam was a little undecided, so she specially asked the villain to come over and ask for the young master's instructions..."

"The Fourth Young Master invites your wife to a banquet?"

Hu Hai could hardly believe his ears. Ever since he was convicted and imprisoned in his house, he had almost become a god of plague. Everyone avoided him. Even he wanted to donate some money to the Daqin Charity Hall. The family property has hit the wall many times, let alone others.

I didn't expect that my fourth brother's house would invite his wife to a banquet today.

Zhao Quan nodded excitedly.

"It is said that this time, we have invited the wives of many dignitaries and powerful people in Xianyang City. They said that they have invited a master of drums and harp, and everyone is invited to come and enjoy it..."

Although Hu Hai was imprisoned at home by the First Emperor and was not allowed to leave the house, he was only imprisoned. These relatives and servants in his house were free to move around as long as they did not leave Xianyang City, so they were not interested in the outside world. The news is not completely unknown.

He naturally knew that his fourth brother was no longer what he used to be. He not only sailed to the sea, traveled overseas, and obtained the elixir of immortality for his brother-in-law, but he also made two extremely powerful relatives.

The daughter was married to Xiang Yu, a powerful upstart in the military who had conquered Mobei and was now the governor of Yanbei County. Even the niece of her sister-in-law was married to another military general, Jingbian Hou Han Xin.

It can be said that the scenery is infinite.

At this time, my sister-in-law actually invited my wife to a banquet?

Hu Hai thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out the thinking of his wife-in-law. But now, for him, what situation could be worse than now? Since Mrs. Zheng is willing to extend this olive branch, he, Hu Hai, will naturally not refuse. reason.

Thinking of this, he sat up straight.

"In that case, let your wife prepare and go over..."

"promise--"

After receiving Hu Hai's instructions, Zhao Quan nodded immediately and left excitedly to inform his wife. Looking at Zhao Quan who was about to step out of the door, Hu Hai hesitated slightly and finally added.

"When you ask Madam to go, take the few pearls from the East China Sea that I have in my treasury and go there early..."

When Zhao Quan heard this, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, then turned around, bowed seriously, and then turned around and left. It wasn't until Hu Hai was out of sight that he raised his sleeves and gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

My own son, who has been favored by the First Emperor since he was a child and has enjoyed endless fame, has never been so careful about even a mere banquet attended by the fourth son's family, and even had to do his best to please...

……

at the same time.

In Young Master Gao's residence, Mrs. Zheng was looking at the calm "master" Mr. Yi with an uncertain expression.

"Sir, is it really okay to send an invitation to the [-]th Young Master? Will it make His Majesty unhappy..."

Looking at Mrs. Zheng who was still struggling with the invitations despite having personally arranged them, Mr. Yi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. He once again doubted whether the original decisions of people like him were reliable. .

It's such a weird couple who can support each other.

One of them has obviously led an army alone and occupied Yingzhou, and is almost equivalent to a de facto prince, but he is thinking about his eldest nephew every day, while the other one is so stupid that people are speechless.

But in the end, he managed to squeeze out a smile and explained patiently.

"It doesn't matter, Madam, just rest assured. Even if Your Majesty hears about it, he will only praise in his heart..."

At this point, seeing that Mrs. Zheng was still confused, she could only try to speak more clearly.

"After all, the Eighteenth Young Master was His Majesty's favorite son. Since he committed a serious crime in the first place, he was still reluctant to kill him. He was just imprisoned in the house and had no shortage of supplies at all times. Naturally, he would not want to see the Eighteenth Young Master not end well in the future. Nowadays, everyone in Xianyang is afraid of avoiding the Eighteenth Young Master. If the wife can avoid suspicion and take the initiative to get close to him, His Majesty will definitely feel happy and think that the wife cares about family ties. Even if the world doesn't say it, they will only think that the wife is loyal. A worthy elder..."

At this time, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but come back to her senses and couldn't help but nod her head.

"Yes, yes, sir, he is indeed a master in this world. Without him, I would have almost made a big mistake!"

Speaking of this, it is also a direct analogy.

"Recently, the servants in the house got a good mink fur from the North. In a few days, I will make a fur fur and send it to my eighteenth brother personally..."

Mr. Yi:…

My heart is so tired!

Once again, the thought of returning home arose in my mind.

……

"Hey, hey, I said Brother Peng, the head of Peng's family, I said, why don't you just let us go back? As long as you let us go back, we can pretend that what happened today never happened..."

After only being honest for a long time, Xiaoyaosheng, who cared about food but not fights, couldn't help but stretch his neck to tease Peng Yue.

Seeing that Peng Yue was just on his way and refused to pay attention to him, this guy became even more energetic. "I said Mr. Peng, I, Xiaoyaosheng, am not trying to scare you. Your Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of our family, is really amazing. Believe it or not, if you really dare to take us away, you might not even be able to return home before you return." It has to be served by our Highness, and you won’t even be able to cry when the time comes..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Peng Yue turn his head and give Wang Laosi a faint instruction.

"Fourth Brother, if he continues to make noise, I will slap his mouth to bits..."

When Wang Laosi heard this, he suddenly became energetic, and the riding crop in his hand crackled. When Xiaoyaosheng saw it, he immediately closed his mouth in a wise manner, and plunged into the corner of the carriage to pretend to be dead.

The world is instantly pure.

Although Peng Yue ignored him, Wang Laosi did not forget to continue teasing him.

"Your Highness is still taking care of our home? Why should he take care of our home? Are you afraid that you have forgotten the situation of our village? There is only a narrow path between the two mountains, and even one person has to carry it in the narrow place. Be careful! We only need to send dozens of people to guard the pass, not enough to stop tens of thousands of troops! Without our people, let alone your highness, even if your first emperor comes, he can only watch me honestly. …”

Xiaoyaosheng had interacted with this group of bandits and had been to their village. Naturally, he knew that Wang Laosi was not bragging. The path was indeed rugged and difficult to navigate. It was extremely dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was natural. Dangerous place. What's even more frightening is that there are huge boulders prepared on both sides. If the situation goes bad, the boulders can be pushed down directly and block the mountain road. Even if you have wings, you can't even fly over.

Of course, under ordinary circumstances, they would not push themselves off a boulder. After all, once they push down the boulder, others will not be able to get up, but they will not be able to get down either. That is a lose-lose situation.

If you think about it in the future, you will have to cut through the boulder, or hang a rope from the cliff and climb down...

Therefore, he was unable to refute Wang Laosi's words. He could only give Wang Laosi a disdainful look. In order to avoid giving this guy another chance to beat him up, he wisely did not hold his tongue. This made him Wang Laosi couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.

I don’t know where Peng Yue is going to take everyone this time. This elite team of dozens of people just walked in the mountains for a long time before they gave up their carriages and horses, switched to walking, and led a group of people to the mountains. Deep climb.

Fortunately, Peng Yue probably didn't really want to completely anger Zhao Ying, the world-famous eldest grandson of Emperor Qin, and provoke an endless pursuit. He didn't mean to kill Jing and others to get rid of the burden of Jing and others.

In order to prevent them from having any accidents, a rope was specially found to tie Jing and the others into a string, and a special person was arranged to hold them.

Without being surprised or making a fuss, he followed Peng Yue and others over the mountains and ridges while silently observing the surrounding terrain, trying to determine where he and his group were now.

Unfortunately, when they were in the car, they drove in the dark for most of the night, and soon after dawn, they went into the mountains and forests again. Even though he had a detailed understanding of the maps of all parts of the world, he was still not sure. current location.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He and Xiaoyaosheng disappeared one after another, and he didn't know where his highness would be at this time and how he would react. But he should not miss the important event of his highness.

……

"Zifang, where are we now?"

Zhao Ying slowly pulled the reins and turned to look at Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang took out the map in his arms and compared it carefully before speaking seriously.

"Back to Your Highness, at this time, we have arrived at the foot of Jinji Mountain. Another seven or eight miles further will be the lair of the Peng Yue thief!"

Zhao Ying nodded slightly when he heard this.

Jinji Mountain is located on the bank of the Jin'an River. The mountain is steep and surrounded by cliffs. There is only an extremely rugged trail leading to the top of the mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The reason why Pengyue and his bandits have been able to stay here for many years has made Bajun and Lujiang The officers and soldiers in both counties were helpless. One of the important reasons was this.

Peng Yue, in particular, creatively found two huge rocks on the mountain walls on both sides, and built two simple passes at the most dangerous places, making this place a natural chasm. Unless the officers and soldiers fought hard with them and stood guard outside, or were willing to take lives to fill in, there was really nothing they could do against them.

"Give me the order to dismount the entire army and rest on the spot. After half an hour, abandon the baggage, carriages and horses, and walk into the mountains to suppress the bandits!"

"promise!"

The order was quickly passed down.

After coming out for a few months, this elite force of the Forbidden Army has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the rapid march of His Highness the Emperor Changsun. At this time, although they were a little tired, not only did they not complain, but they were slightly excited in their eyes.

Finally, I can fight with His Highness the Emperor's Grandson!

Half an hour later, only a small team of the army was left to guard the carriages, horses and baggage. The rest, following His Highness the Emperor Changsun, continued to march towards the Peng Yue thief's lair marked on the map.

Although it was a rapid march, after all, the number of people was there, and it was impossible for Peng Yue's men, no matter how stupid they were, to miss the officers and soldiers who were coming to kill them with great momentum.

However, they were quite experienced in dealing with officers and soldiers. They knew that these people would not be able to break through the stronghold and would quickly retreat on their own. Therefore, apart from some panic at the beginning, they quickly stabilized.

The heavy mountain gate was slowly closed, and many bandits who were proficient in bows and arrows climbed up to the stronghold to defend themselves, carrying crudely made crossbows.

When Zhao Ying and others arrived, they were already prepared to deal with it.

Looking at the rugged and difficult path in front of him, Zhang Liang couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Your Highness, this place is steep and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. It once forced the officers and soldiers from Bajun and Lujiang counties to return without success many times..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Ying looking up and down the narrow path in front of him, with an eager expression in his eyes, as if he wanted to lead the charge himself, and he was suddenly a little stunned. At this moment, he suddenly heard Zhao Ying's deep command.

"Left troops come out, all ejection, cover for me!"

Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard this, and grabbed Zhao Ying's sleeve.

"Your Highness, no!"

Zhao Ying couldn't help but frowned and turned to look at Zhang Liang. In normal times, Zhang Liang would not have dared to disobey, but now, he has been completely bound to Zhao Ying's ship. How could he let Zhao Ying take such a risk? .

"Your Highness, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace. These bandits in the mountains are just scabies. How can they be worth the risk of your own life! If you make any mistake, where will the officers and soldiers under your command be put..."

After hearing this, Zhao Ying relaxed his brows and pulled off the mask on his face with a smile.

"I have this armor, so what can be hurt by arrows? What's more, there is a large army pressing down on the formation, suppressed by bows and arrows..."

After saying that, he took off the five-stone bow in his hand and shot an arrow.

This long arrow, without a meteor, before the bandits guarding both sides of the stone wall could react, had already crossed more than two hundred steps, shot through the two people one after another, and nailed the stone wall behind the bandits with a bang, and the arrow The feathers quivered slightly and there was a buzzing sound.

This arrow completely stunned everyone.

The shooting range of an ordinary long bow is only a hundred steps. If it exceeds a hundred steps, it is already considered a strong bow. But Zhao Ying's arrow has a distance of two hundred steps. It can hit two eagles with one arrow and hit the stone without falling. What kind of strength is this.

"Your Highness is victorious, Your Highness is victorious!"

In just a short moment, Zhao Ying's soldiers and imperial guards reacted. They couldn't help but raise their arms and shout, looking at Zhao Ying's back, their eyes became more and more fanatical.
