Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 204 I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail! (seeking subscription)

Linchen Mansion.

Hu Hai sat on the mat, a little absent-minded.

A few days ago, he accidentally received a secret letter, which stated that someone in the army colluded with the Yue people.

The moment Hu Hai saw this secret letter, he was also shocked.

He originally wanted to take a walk around Linchen, but then he completely gave up the idea. The Yue people and the Qin army were already in conflict. Survived the attack of Yue people.

The most important thing is that the enemy is dark and we are clear.

He dared not take any chances.

Just staying in Linchen City all the time was really not an option, so Hu Hai asked Zhao Gao and Ren Ao to secretly investigate the real situation of the secret letter by asking about the distribution of money rewards and the relationship between their parents.

Da da!

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house.

Hu Hai's heart tightened, and he quickly looked outside the house, only to see Zhao Gao and Ren Ao returning.

Hu Hai quickly sat up from the table, walked a few steps quickly, went to the two of them, and asked: "Zhao Gao, Ren Ao, have you found out anything outside these few days?"

Zhao Gao shook his head.

He has been very attentive to inquire.

It's just that people in Lingnan are not familiar with the place and have no acquaintances. Even in the name of Hu Hai, they still haven't found any news.

And the time is too short.

If you don't know anything about the situation in the army, how can you ask questions?

aside.

Ren Ao also shook his head.

Hu Hai showed displeasure, and said dissatisfied: "I have given you a few days, why can't you find out any news? If the content of this secret letter is true, wouldn't I be in danger at any time? After nine years of conquest, Yue people have long hated Da Qin to the bone, if something happens to me, can you bear it?"

Hu Hai scolded anxiously.

Zhao Gao and Ren Ao looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

They didn't know anything about the situation in Lingnan, and they went to inquire about the news based on a secret letter, which was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

They really can't help it.

After Hu Hai scolded for a while, Ren Ao seemed to have thought of something, and said puzzledly: "Young master, when I was in contact with the generals my father had befriended, I heard some generals say that there is a general in the army called Lu Jia, this person is very It's Qin people, but Yue people."

"Yueren?" Hu Hai was taken aback.

Ren Ao nodded and said: "This Lu Jia is not only from Yue, but also the leader of a large ethnic group in Lingnan. When my father was ordered to conquer Lingnan, Lu Jia's tribe chose to surrender when they saw our army's mighty strength. The Lingnan people who can speak the dialect of the Central Plains were exceptionally promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General, and they have made a lot of contributions in the army over the years."

"However, this person has a stubborn and dull personality, and he is not liked by the general in the army."

"It's just that he is familiar with the local area and can talk to other Yue tribes, so the army basically doesn't care much about it."

"Then why did you mention this person?" Hu Hai asked.

Ren Ao's eyes darkened, and he said in a concentrated voice: "This person seems to have a lot of affection for the Yue people. In recent years, he has promoted many Yue people officials. Do you still remember the county magistrate Min Luo of Linchen County? This person is also a Yue person. , and Linchen is a small county with less than [-] households, so it is not enough to be called a county magistrate, and the reason why it can be called a county magistrate in the end is because of Lu Jia's help."

"The lower officials think there may be something wrong with these Yue people."

heard.

Hu Hai shot the case angrily, and said angrily: "I knew there was something wrong with these two people. When I came to Chen County, the county magistrate made all kinds of sarcastic remarks and threatened me with all kinds of words. Now it seems that they clearly have intentions. No side."

"It really makes no sense!"

see.

Zhao Gao sneered and said, "My lord, since these Yue people's schemes are not righteous, why don't you inform General Zhao Tuo directly to have them executed on the spot?"

Hearing Zhao Tuo's suggestion, Ren Ao quickly stopped him and said, "No."

"After all, these words are the unintentional words of the generals in the army. How can they be so easily convicted because of their words? If they are not spies in the army, wouldn't it be chilling for the people who have come here? Wouldn't it be letting the real spies in the army succeed? ?”

"The lower official thinks it's inappropriate."

Hu Hai thought about it and agreed.

Without evidence, how can you judge the life and death of others based on some guesses?

at the same time.

Ren Ao continued: "I have thought about it for the past few days, and I feel a little strange about this secret letter."

"Young Master think carefully, if there is a spy in the army, why didn't this person report to General Zhao Tuo, but came to choose to tell Young Master?"

"Although the son is noble, he does not hold military power after all. Even if the problem is really found, it will eventually be dealt with by General Zhao Tuo. In addition, the Great Qin ordered, 'If you have a letter, don't send it, and burn it when you see it', and the son received it." There is no name or taboo on the confidential letter that I received, so this matter cannot be disclosed.”

"Otherwise the young master has 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. If someone submits an anonymous letter, officials must burn it immediately.

If he really encountered injustice, he had to sue the official in his real name.

Otherwise, it will be regarded as a false accusation.

Hu Hai coughed lightly, concealed his embarrassment, and continued: "According to Ren Ao, is this secret letter fake?"

Ren Ao's face was dignified, and he said uncertainly: "I don't dare to be sure, but it is true that it may be false, but it may also be true. If it is true, the situation may be a little worse."

"A soldier is a major event for the country!"

"If there are Yue people in the army who work carefully and report the news, they will definitely be rewarded in the army. Now this person not only dares not report, but also sends a letter to the young master for this illegal behavior, then there is only one possibility, that is, I don’t want to report it, but I can’t report it, and I dare not report it.”

"Because someone in the army may have a problem!"

Ren Ao said nothing.

Hu Hai was shocked instantly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

After listening for a while, Zhao Gao understood Ren Ao's thoughts, and said, "Maybe you don't know, the Lu Jia that Ren Ao mentioned just now is very close to General Zhao Tuo, and has always entrusted Zhao Tuo with important tasks. What Ren Ao said is correct, this may be the real reason why that person only dared to submit the letter secretly."

Hu Hai's pupils shrank slightly.

He still couldn't believe it.

Ren Ao went on and on, and finally pointed the finger at Zhao Tuo?
But is it possible?
Zhao Tuo is the commander-in-chief of the 50 troops in the South China Sea, so how can he collude with the Yue people?
This is impossible!

Hu Hai quickly shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible. General Zhao Tuo is the pillar of the country. He has guarded the South China Sea for his father these years and has worked hard. What can the Yue people have to bribe Zhao Tuo? This is absolutely impossible, Ren Ao, you are guessing." wrong."

Ren Ao smiled wryly.

Why doesn't he hope that he guessed wrong?

It's just that you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.

He had to be cautious.

If something happened to Hu Hai in the South China Sea, it would be a serious matter. Let alone the accompanying officials like them, the whole South China Sea would be shaken three times.

But Ren Ao didn't panic.

The 50 troops in the South China Sea belong to Daqin.

Hu Hai dealt with it well in the army camp earlier, and he also saved a lot of soldiers' morale. Even if Zhao Tuo really had a different heart, the soldiers in the army might not offend Zhao Tuo. He didn't think Zhao Tuo dared to harm Hu Hai. Tuo wasn't that bold yet.

Hu Hai paced back and forth in the room.

Looking around, he felt more and more dangerous in the South China Sea.

He wasn't worried that the people of Qin would attack him, but what about the people of Yue?

As the heir of the first emperor, he was afraid that these people would regard him as a thorn in his flesh and wanted to get rid of it quickly. After thinking about it, he still felt that he should leave as soon as possible.

He said in a deep voice: "The rewards in the army should be almost distributed, right? No matter whether the news on this secret letter is true or not, the environment in Lingnan is indeed harsh. In the past few days, I have seen many People came here to vomit and have diarrhea, and Sima of the Chinese army was poisoned."

"It's not suitable to stay here for long."

"Zhao Gao, you can ask again later, if the distribution is about the same, it's time to prepare to go back."

Zhao Gao quickly promised.

When Zhao Gao and Ren Ao left, Hu Hai couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said with sadness in his eyes: "Why are there so many things when I come out? I said I was in Panyu, but I ran to Linchen, and then I learned that there are soldiers in the army. Spies, it's really annoying."

Hu Hai was fidgeting in the house.

He took out the three kits from his sleeve, looked at the kits that he had already opened, and said listlessly: "The kits that Ji Heng gave are still too few, if you give a few more, maybe you can help find out. Authenticity."

"It's no wonder that Ji Heng let me grow out of the Lingnan Festival. I'm afraid Ji Heng had already expected the situation here. The soldiers in the South China Sea have been away from home for too long, so it's inevitable that there will be some fluctuations in their hearts."

"I just hope nothing happens later."

Hu Hai sighed deeply.

The next day.

Hu Hai told Zhao Tuo the news that he was leaving.

Hearing that Hu Hai was about to leave, Zhao Tuo showed a strange expression.

Hu Hai did not reveal the secret letter, but simply said that the imperial court's order to come to the South China Sea has been completed, and it is time to leave.

Zhao Tuo was not suspicious.

During the period when Hu Hai came to Chenchen, he stayed behind closed doors all the time, obviously because he was not used to the hot climate here, and he was born spoiled, so he couldn't stay in Lingnan, so it's normal to want to leave.

So Zhao Tuo didn't persuade him much.

Seeing Zhao Tuo let go, Hu Hai secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Zhao Gao was also informed to go back to Xianyang as soon as possible.

the other side.

When Zhao Tuo returned to the camp and told the general that Hu Hai was leaving, Lu Jia's expression changed when he heard the news, and after the other generals left the tent, they also hurriedly found Zhao Tuo.

Seeing Lu Jia approaching, Zhao Tuo's heart sank, he frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Jia cupped his hands and said, "General, Hu Hai cannot be sent back."

Zhao Tuo didn't speak in a hurry, and stared at Lu Jia with dark eyes, as if he wanted to see through Lu Jia.

Being stared at by Zhao Tuo like this, Lu Jia also trembled in his heart.

Lu Jia said anxiously: "The general may not know something. During this time, the two people around Hu Hai have been secretly inquiring for news. Based on the information I have collected in the past few days, it seems that someone in the army has voted for Hu Hai, and Hu Hai It seems to think that there are Yue people in the army who work carefully."

"The general has to guard against it!"

heard.

For the first time, Zhao Tuo showed a shock on his calm face.

"What did you say?"

"You tell me that again!"

Lu Jia's face was pale, but he didn't dare to hide it. He told what he had heard in detail, and then continued: "General, they have found me right now. Just think about it a little bit. The general will definitely be suspicious, if the general releases them at this time, when they report the matter, you will be implicated, general."

"General, these hundreds of people cannot leave!"

Lu Jia took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "General, this is the end of the matter, we can no longer hesitate, we must make a quick decision. Now that the Ouluo area is not peaceful, the general can use his sword to kill people. With the hands of these Yue people, Hu Hai Hundreds of people were killed."

"At that time, the general will get the news to wipe out these Yue people and avenge the son of Daqin. Even if the Daqin court has objections, how can the Qin court really find out something in the South China Sea?"

"In this way, the general can really feel at ease."

Lu Jia bowed his hands respectfully, waiting for Zhao Tuo to make a decision.

Zhao Tuo looked at Lu Jia indifferently, with anger and sarcasm in his eyes.

Lu Jia has no brains, but he is not yet.

Can Hu Hai kill him?
No!

If Hu Hai is dead, who in the South China Sea can stay out of the matter under the wrath of the First Emperor?Lu Jia's idea was simply ridiculous and naive.

But this is Baiyue people!
These people are short-sighted, so they can ask Baiyue people to do things, but they can't really trust them. These people have been living in the barren land of Lingnan, and they don't know their own abilities at all.

A group of frogs in a well.

They were completely unaware of the horrific consequences of killing Hu Hai.

Zhao Tuo said coldly: "No need to say any more, I can't agree."

"Hu Hai must not die!"

"General." Lu Jia's expression froze. He thought that he had given a good plan, and even if Zhao Tuo didn't consider it for him, he had to consider it for himself. He would eventually adopt it, but he never thought that Zhao Tuo didn't seem to move at all. The thought of killing Hu Hai.

"Get out!" Zhao Tuo glared.

Lu Jia's complexion changed again and again, and in the end he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only leave aggrieved.

in the tent.

Zhao Tuo also looked a little irritable.

He hadn't thought that Hu Hai would hear that there was something to be done in the army, but it didn't matter whether he did or didn't. Once Hu Hai returned to Xianyang, he would definitely report the matter to the first emperor, and the court would decide Someone will be sent down to investigate.

He himself is not worried.

He was indeed very close to Lu Jia, but he was only using Lu Jia's identity.

However, he also heard about some situations in the army.

It is mainly related to his eldest son.

"Zhao Mei!"

"I have indulged you too much in the past."

"I'll see how you solve the mess you made this time."

"Lu Jia." Zhao Tuo snorted coldly, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Lu Jia can't stay anymore.

He shouted outside the tent: "Come on, go and call Zhao Yu over here."

Leaving the tent, Lu Jia's eyes became colder and colder.

He could sense Zhao Tuo's hesitation and uneasiness. Zhao Tuo might not take action, and Zhao Tuo didn't actually participate in many military affairs. It's just that Zhao Tuo loved his son very much, so sometimes even if he knew, he would choose Open one eye and close one eye.

Zhao Tuo had a way out, but he didn't.

If there is news of a detailed operation in the army, it will be spread to Xianyang, and Xianyang will order a strict investigation. He doubts whether Zhao Tuo will protect himself. If Zhao Tuo abandons himself, not only himself, but even his ethnic group will be killed destruction.

This is unacceptable to Lu Jia.

Lu Jia gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth, and said, "General, since you don't want to do it, then I'll help you. Hu Hai ruined such a big deal for us, how can we let him leave like this?"

"He can't get away!"

"If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price."

"And general, you are too indecisive. How can you be so hesitant and hesitant when you achieve great things? The geographical conditions of the South China Sea are so wonderful that ordinary people can't imagine. As long as the road from Guanzhong to the south is blocked, no matter how strong the Qin Dynasty is." , what can I do?"

"And general, don't pretend to be a gentleman. Don't you really know what happened in the army? With the name of your eldest son, Zhao Yu can really persuade other generals?"

"When something goes wrong right now, I just want to deny it directly. It's not that easy."

"I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail!"

"General Zhao, you understand this truth better than I do."

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 besiege Hu Hai on the road.

As long as Hu Hai is dead.

No matter how angry Zhao Tuo was, he could only accept the status quo.

At that time, if he does not rebel, he will have to rebel.

Qin Ting couldn't tolerate him.

Soon.

Zhao Yu arrived at the big tent where Zhao Tuo was.

"Father, what do you want from me?" Zhao Yu looked relaxed.

Zhao Tuo stared at Zhao Yu coldly, and scolded, "Kneel down for me."

Hearing Zhao Tuo's sudden anger, Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled, and asked in confusion, "Father, what's wrong with you? I haven't made you angry all this time?"

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing Zhao Tuo's scolding sound getting louder and louder, Zhao Yu also panicked a little, you bent your knees and knelt down like that.

It's just that the eyes are full of confusion.

"Say, what have you and Lu Jia done behind my back all these years?" Zhao Tuo asked.

Zhao Yu dodged his eyes, lowered his head and said, "Father, how dare the child do things behind your back? It's just why father suddenly asked about this?"

Zhao Tuo snorted coldly and said with a flick of his sleeve: "There is a rumor in the army."

"Someone is colluding with the Baiyue people."

heard.

Zhao Yu's face changed slightly, and he said unnaturally: "Father, I am your eldest son, how could I go and hang out with the humble Baiyue people."

Zhao Tuo sneered and said, "Is it important to you now? The important thing is that someone believes it. Stop covering it up for me and tell me all the stinky things you have done these years. "

"Otherwise I can't protect you!!!"

Hearing what Zhao Tuo said, Zhao Yu showed fear for the first time, and said anxiously, "Father, what happened?"

Zhao Tuo said indifferently: "Are you still ashamed to ask me? Do you really think I don't know about using my name to do evil in the army all these years? I know more about Lu Jia's virtues than you do. He is not familiar with him. Yes, these Baiyue people are all short-sighted, and they don't even know how much they are."

"And you are coaxed around by these people."

"If I don't tell you, do you really think I don't know?"

"For these years, you have been shaking the morale of the army with Lu Jia, trying to make Nanhai stand on its own."

Zhao Yu lowered his head, hesitating and not daring to speak.

"Say!" Zhao Tuo roared angrily.

Zhao Yu tremblingly said: "This is me."

"How many people in the army do you associate with?" Zhao Tuo sullenly said.

Zhao Yu said: "Not many, most of the generals ignored it, and father, the situation in Nanhai is really different from that in Guanzhong. There are indeed 50 Qin people here, but a few years ago, the imperial court moved 50 people. The situation in Nanhai, father You know that everyone who comes here basically complains to Qin Ting."

"and"

"Last time, many nobles from the six countries migrated here."

"So you were persuaded by them?" Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of hatred.

Zhao Yu nodded.

"How did I, Zhao Tuo, give birth to something like you? I'm really going to be killed by you this time." Zhao Tuo pointed at Zhao Yu, already furious.

Zhao Yu said: "Father, what happened?"

Zhao Tuo said: "Someone stabbed Mr. Huhai in the ear of the spies of Baiyue people in the army. Now Mr. Huhai has decided to return to Xianyang. Once Mr. Huhai tells His Majesty about this, do you think I can still protect you?" you?"

heard.

Zhao Yu's expression suddenly changed.

He knew the pros and cons of it, once it was passed to Xianyang, no one would be able to protect him.

He hurriedly said: "Father, how can there be spies from Baiyue people in the army? This is clearly slander, father, you must make the decision for me."

"Slander?" Zhao Tuo sneered, and said disdainfully: "This can be explained by slander? Can the things you do behind the scenes really stand up to investigation? Once the imperial court sends people down, those things that will be found out at that time I'm afraid it's more serious than slander."

Zhao Yu was dumbfounded.

What he did in private cannot withstand investigation.

He always dreamed that he could become king one day.

Even if it's just in the South China Sea.

But also king.

Therefore, after being noticed by Lu Jia, the two came together, but although Zhao Tuo was the general of the army, not all of them were Zhao Tuo's cronies in the army, so he and Lu Jia have been calculating other generals, borrowing various The way to assassinate these generals, and then let Zhao Tuo's cronies take over the military power step by step.

It's just that these things can't be put on the surface.

Once it's brought to light.

Things get bigger.

Even his own father, Zhao Tuo, might not be able to suppress the army's anger.

"Father, what should we do now? You must save me." Zhao Yu was completely panicked, hugged Zhao Tuo's legs, and kept begging.

Seeing Zhao Yu crying bitterly, Zhao Tuo finally softened his heart.

He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You send someone to follow Lu Jia secretly, and pay attention to Lu Jia's every move. With Lu Jia's narrow knowledge, after Mr. Huhai leaves Linchen, he will definitely find a chance to attack and kill Lu Jia. When you make a move, you should act immediately to save the young master and kill Lu Jia at the same time."

"Zhu Zhu kill Lu Jia." Zhao Yu was taken aback.

"You heard me right, I want to kill Lu Jia. This man knows too many things about you, so he can't be kept, and the young master must not do anything." Zhao Tuo explained sternly.

"At the same time, I will also take action in the barracks to bring to justice all the generals who had contacts with Lu Jia in the past."

Zhao Yu swallowed his saliva.

Some can't believe their ears.

He tremblingly said: "Father, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Yes?" Zhao Tuo opened his eyes violently, his eyes filled with crazy indifference, and said, "If you don't clean up everything in the army, if something goes wrong, not only you, but also me will be affected! "

"If they dare to do these things with you, they should have thought about this end."

Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of indifference.

He didn't take the life and death of those people into consideration at all.

Zhao Yu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart. He tremblingly said: "Father, most of the generals in the army have now been replaced by your cronies. If it weren't for what happened to Hu Hai, we wouldn't be able to use it." In a few years, these soldiers will completely abandon Qin Ting."

"Father, you will be king at that time."

"It's just the last few steps, how can I just give up like this?"

"Father."

Zhao Yu was terrified in his heart, but the desire to be king overwhelmed the fear in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, why don't you trust Lu Jia again, didn't Hu Hai listen to the rumors, then kill Hu Hai It's over, and then the reason for Qin Ting going south will be sealed."

"What can Qin Ting do to us?"

"Father, you can't just give up halfway like this."

Hearing that Zhao Yu was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream at this time, Zhao Tuo also laughed angrily, and said coldly: "You heard me clearly, I, Zhao Tuo, are generals of the Qin Dynasty, and the soldiers under my command are soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty. Those who are loyal to His Majesty and loyal to Great Qin are not Zhao Tuo's private soldiers."

"Do you really think that after changing the general, the 50 troops will obey my orders?"

"Great Qin soldiers will only be loyal to the Great Qin Emperor."

"If you want to be king, the soldiers will not accompany you to plot rebellion."

"You have also heard and seen it before. Hu Hai asked them to go home, how excited the army is, and you still try to block the road and completely block the South China Sea from Daqin. It is completely wishful thinking."

"The imperial court only needs an order to order the soldiers to return to Guanzhong. At that time, most of the 50 soldiers in the South China Sea will leave without any hesitation, and you and our entire clan, everyone's head , will be chopped off by these soldiers, hung around their waists, and dedicated to Xianyang."

"You are not young."

"I have also honed in the army for a while, and still listen to Lu Jia's nonsense?"

"Ridiculous!"

"I'll tell you now."

"The only chance for you to survive now is to wipe out Lu Jia and other people as soon as possible before Lu Jia moves Mr. Hu Hai. If something happens to Mr. Hu Hai, it will be too late."

"Hurry up!" Zhao Tuo glared at Zhao Yu angrily.

Zhao Yu's heart froze, he didn't dare to be careless, and ran out of the tent in a scrambling manner.

When Zhao Yu walked away, Zhao Tuo's expression softened, and he frowned, thinking about who sent the letter to Hu Hai.

subconsciously.

He thought of Yang Wengzi.

After pondering for a while, he shook his head again. Yang Wengzi is now terminally ill. After eating a few catties of sea regulation, he fell into a coma and lost a lot of weight.

Zhao Tuo thought about the others, but he was still not sure who it would be.

Or both are possible.

But he knew very well in his heart that everything originated from Hu Hai.

Without Hu Hai's words, the generals in the army would still be very depressed, and would not choose to submit a letter, but it was Hu Hai's words that changed everything.

The old situation is broken.

Zhao Tuo looked at Daying from afar, his gaze became deeper and darker.

Three days later.

After informing the lieutenant general, Hu Hai stepped into the carriage for the return journey.

There are more than 700 soldiers accompanying him.

at first.

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, he might not even have a chance to struggle.

It's just that there are fewer horses and horses after all, so the speed of the return journey will not be too fast.

This also troubled Hu Hai quite a bit.

If possible.

He wished that the accompanying soldiers could grow two more legs.

The carriage creaked forward, and the return road was not flat, and there was still a long distance between Linchen and Yangyue New Road, which also meant that it was not possible to go directly to Chidao.

Zhao Gao and Ren Ao are very vigilant.

They are very clear that before a group of people set foot on the new Yangyue road, they will be in a very dangerous situation. It will be much faster, and it will not be easy for people to catch up.

But the road before embarking on the Yangyue New Road may not be smooth.

Even crooked.

They are not familiar with the roads, and they don't dare to shuttle randomly in the dense forest. They can only move forward slowly along the inherent road, and this will undoubtedly produce many variables.

Carrying the rising sun.

Hu Hai's carriage galloped on the road, and the 700 guards following him were all the most elite soldiers of the Qin army.

Zhao Gao's driving skills are really good.

It can be described as superb.

Even though the road was a bit rough and crooked, Zhao Gao's driving was still smooth and stable, and the carriage would not cause too much turbulence. Although it was inevitable that there would be some bumps, compared with others, Zhao Gao's driving level was undoubtedly higher.

Zhao Gao sat at the front of the car with a relatively relaxed expression.

He looked around from time to time, with hesitation in his eyes.

In fact, he still hoped that something would happen. Back then when Bo Langsha and Zhang Liang assassinated His Majesty, it was he who saved the first emperor by virtue of his superb driving skills, so he was reused by the first emperor.

Now seems to be his chance again.

If I can successfully turn Hu Hai out of danger as I did in the past, not only can I win Hu Hai's trust again, but I can even enter His Majesty's eyes again. If His Majesty is grateful for the old feelings, maybe I will have a chance to make a comeback.

Think of this.

Zhao Gao was a little excited.

However, he didn't dare to be distracted too much, and concentrated on driving the car.

the other side.

Ren Ao followed closely behind on horseback.

He dared not be careless.

The Yangyue New Road starts from Hangu Pass, passes through Luoyang, Xinzheng, and Anling, passes through the old Chu city of Chencheng and Ruyin, and arrives at Yingshou (Shouchun), the capital of the old Chu, and then goes south to Hengshan County and Changsha County. , Looking through Wuling, arrived at Nanhai County, and then arrived at Guilin County.

This road is so long that even if you travel 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 is still a section of county road.

Just when the group of people left Linchen less than a few dozen miles away, suddenly there was a sound of thin ropes in the surrounding dense forest, and then the sound became louder and louder, and finally turned into a rain of arrows.

see.

Ren Ao's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack!"

"The whole army line up to meet the enemy!"

In the carriage, Hu Hai, who was sleepy at first, was shocked when he heard Ren Ao's voice, and immediately lost all sleepiness. He quickly crawled under the desk, not daring to make any noise.

After a shower of arrows, the galloping convoy stopped.
