Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 19 My emperor's desire to seek immortality is not dead!
When Yunmeng Mountain Ancient Ape was practicing "Tai Xuantong Back Fist" according to the technique created by Qin Tian, ​​a group of knights were galloping on the Qin Zhi Road connecting Nan County and Nanyang County.

There are less than a hundred knights, all of them are wearing iron armor, and they are the elite of the Qin army at first glance.

There are also two carriages in the team, which look like rickshaws from later generations, except that they are pulled by horses instead of drivers.

Qin has two kinds of cars.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the development of cavalry had just begun, and horses were mostly used as war horses to pull chariots.In the spring and Autumn period, when we measured the strength of troops, we would say how many cars there are. This kind of car is called a chariot, or a wide car, and its usage is similar to the tanks of later generations.

The other kind of car is a light car, also called a Chi car.This kind of car can only seat two to three people and cannot be used for combat, but it is very suitable for traveling as a nobleman or on the road.

In ancient times, when the two armies were at war, the commanders of the two sides used this kind of light vehicle to teach each other.

Canton cars travel slowly and are not flexible enough to keep up with light cars.Therefore, these knights in front of them are actually chariots, who just removed the horses from the chariot and used them to ride alone.If they encounter an enemy, they will dismount honestly and serve as infantry.

There are two light carts, one of which has no people sitting on it, but a lot of bamboo slips, which is a memorial to the first emperor.

As for the other car, there were two people sitting side by side.The one who is also wearing iron armor is exactly Meng Tian, ​​and the one beside him is naturally Fu Su.

Although Qin Zhidao is straight, due to technical limitations, it is naturally impossible to be like the big road of later generations.However, although the light car was bumpy, the two of them still sat upright.

How to stand or sit upright in the car these days is also one of the etiquettes that nobles need to master. As great nobles, Fusu and Mengtian naturally master it very well.

Not only that, but the two of them were still thinking about talking on the light car.It was Meng Tian who spoke first: "Dare to ask my lord, do you know why the first emperor suddenly went on a tour?"

Young Master Fusu was as still as a mountain, without squinting: "How do I know?"

"However," he sighed, "this time is probably for Le Shi's credit."

The first emperor loved to go on tour. Since he unified the six kingdoms, he has gone on tour three times, and this time is already the fourth time.

With so many patrols in eight years, it can basically be said that the First Emperor was either preparing to go on patrol or on his way out.

"Could it be for the alchemist's business?" Meng Tianruo had something on his mind.

Fusu glanced at Meng Tian subconsciously, then shook his head slightly.

"It's just a mere alchemist. What qualifications do you have to work for the first emperor to go on tour?"

He said with a sneer, suddenly turned his head to face Meng Tian, ​​and said seriously: "General, this time the First Emperor summoned us, please don't talk about Yunmeng Mountain! Otherwise, we will be in danger!"

Meng Tian looked at Fusu in surprise, and was about to refute, but Fusu didn't give him a chance to speak, and spoke again meaningfully: "I know the general's mind! But, can the first emperor know?"

Meng Tian was stunned, pondered for a while, and nodded noncommittally.

He understood what Fusu meant.

The first emperor went on a tour the year before last to look for the so-called fairy mountains in the East China Sea. Unexpectedly, he met an assassin on the way. Zhang Liang, a native of Han, sent a powerful man with a giant vertebra to assassinate Qin, but he missed the passenger car.

The first emperor returned halfway, and planned to tour the east again the next year, but unexpectedly, the alchemist's bewitching of the first emperor was revealed. The so-called dream of the fairy mountain was once shattered, and last year it never happened.

However, this year he patrolled the world again, and instead of going east to Hedong, he went south to Nanyang, which was consistent with Meng Tian's march route, indicating that this time he was on a southern tour.

The southern tour had already been done four years ago. At that time, the first emperor had already arrived in Changsha County, which was the southern border of Qin Dynasty.In the past four years, Daqin has not launched troops against Yelang in the south and the countries of Zhuyue, and there have been no rebels in Jiangnan, so why patrol?

"Although the First Emperor wanted to kill all the underworld soldiers, his ambition to live forever may not have changed..."

Meng Tian secretly let out a sigh.

……

"Last noon yesterday, the First Emperor summoned General Meng Tian and his son Fusu to meet His Majesty in Huyang. The two of them have already set out on their way to the north, and entered Nanyang County early this morning. It is now a hundred and fifty miles away from Huyang County!"

When Meng Tian and Fu Su led a hundred guards and galloped along Qin Zhidao, in a simple hall, a man in armor was kneeling on one knee, reporting to a young man kneeling beside the desk.

The young man was wearing a black robe, on which was outlined the shape of a scale-clawed worm with gold threads. He had a square face, and between his eyes opened and closed, the light shone like a tiger or wolf.

Long scale insects are dragons, and the dragons of the Qin Dynasty are very different from the dragons of later generations, and they are very fat.

But the people of Qin are still black, and all men, women and children in the country like to wear black clothes.However, the only ones who can adorn their clothes with dragon patterns are the Great Qin Royal Family.

This young man is none other than the eighteenth son of Qin Shihuang and the younger brother of Fusu, Hu Hai!
The first emperor had 22 sons and ten daughters, which can be described as full of children and grandchildren.However, the only ones that the first emperor valued were the eldest son Su Xing and the eighteenth son Hu Hai.Every time he went on tour, he ordered two people to accompany him.

Ever since Fu Su passed the coronation ceremony and began to serve as Meng Tian's supervisor, the matter of accompanying him fell on Hu Hai's head.

During this southern tour, Hu Hai also followed the First Emperor to Nanyang County, which is the county government of Huyang County.

Said to be a county government office, it is actually a dilapidated wooden house. However, Hu Hai is obviously not a person who pursues fancy clothes. He looked at the armored Qin soldier kneeling in front of him with bright eyes: "My eldest brother Fusu, and General Meng Tian, ​​is there any difference?"

The armored Qin soldier was the former scout chief of Meng Tian's army, he hesitated slightly.

"Huh?" A cold and stern snort sounded, although he was still a 14-year-old boy, the hostility on Hu Hai's face was already real.

The scout's cold sweat dripped down in an instant, and he hurriedly said, "Please tell me, my lord, the day before yesterday, the general Meng Tian met a white deer in Yunmeng County, and people around Chu said, this is a spirit beast from the fairy family."

"The general then went to Yunmeng Mountain, and wanted to find the one who the Chu people call a god and kill him."

"Eer came back from the mountain, did not say anything about beheading the alchemist, but released the white deer in front of everyone, and apologized saying, "I didn't mean to offend him, so don't sin!"

Hu Hai's eyes suddenly revealed a gleam of light, he stared at the scout chief, and said in a stern voice: "Can my elder brother know about this?"

The chief scout was a little hesitant. He glanced at Hu Hai carefully, but was taken aback by the other's eyes that were not human.

He gritted his teeth and continued: "Afterwards, the general led his personal guards and returned to Jiangling to meet Fusu, son Fusu, I know it!"

"What happened next?" A strange look flashed across Hu Hai's eyes, "Did my elder brother send troops to Yunmeng County to kill all those Chu people who called themselves gods?"

"Never!" The scout chief shook his head.

"Ha!" There was a bang, but it was Hu Hai who shot up.

With a malicious smile on his face, he said coldly: "It seems that although my eldest brother is the crown prince of Great Qin..."

"But I still miss the kindness of Chu people in my heart! I was bewitched by alchemists!"
