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

Chapter 68 The Wonderful Scenery of the World, There Are Two Days in the Sky!
Zhao Gao glared at the soldiers, but the soldiers could not speak.

In fact, even Zhao Gao himself knew that he was just venting his anger.

He is the official of the CRRC, and the official of the CRRC is in charge of the public affairs. To put it bluntly, he is the driver and groom of the First Emperor.

As for his mastering the criminal law, he only existed as an adviser to people like Shi Huangdi and others, and had no real power in the criminal law.

And the reason why he was able to seize Li Si's handle and even get in touch with various people was because of his plan.

There is a saying that is actually not wrong, there are all kinds of talents in the hidden palace.

After all, the First Emperor valued Legalism, despised all other schools of thought, and hated political strategists.

The reason, of course, is that Qin was the strongest country during the Warring States period, and it was aggressive, and the strategists came and went, all of them were enemies of Qin.

For example, the famous He Zong Lian Heng.The combination of vertical and horizontal is a diplomatic concept proposed by a group of political strategists or careerists headed by Su Qin, Zhang Yi, and Gongsun Yan, and it became very popular in the late Warring States period.

Among them, He Zong naturally needless to say, but the six countries joined forces to resist the strong Qin, called He Zong, and Su Qin therefore admired the seal of the six countries.

But the key is Lian Heng, everyone in the world thinks that Lian Heng is for the benefit of Qin, but it is not.

Lianheng was proposed by Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi's original intention of Lianheng was that small countries take advantage of the opportunity to form alliances with powerful countries to attack other small countries, take the opportunity to annex land, and strengthen their own strength.During the Warring States period, there were two great powers, one was Qin and the other was Chu.

Lian Heng jumped between these two countries and was up for grabs. This is the origin of "Chao Qin and Mu Chu".

Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan and others were originally one. In the late Warring States period, various countries attacked. To put it bluntly, it was these three people who stirred up the situation.First, He Zong curbed Qin's expansion, and then broke He Zong with Lian Heng, all for personal gain.

Therefore, the First Emperor deeply hated the political leaders, saying that the political leaders were the source of troubled times, and he set out to clean them up.Therefore, most of the prominent political strategists during the Warring States period ended up in hidden palaces.

Politicians are good at planning and can guess people's hearts. They completely forget about justice and do not hesitate to mess up the world for their own selfish interests.Being locked up in a hidden palace is like raising a poison.

Zhao Gao was able to live in the hidden palace for many years, so he was naturally a leader in this regard.

To put it bluntly, the strategy he implemented this time is still a joint vertical, uniting a group of people with a common interest, and exerting strength everywhere, the purpose is to pull Fusu Mengtian down and let Hu Hai take over.

However, this is easier said than done.Not to mention, it took a lot of effort to make Li Chao the leader of the Wei Wei Army this time.

Li Chao is the descendant of a famous general, and although Li's family is declining, but he was once a family of Zhongming Dingshi, a centipede, dead but not stiff.Among other things, there are still many generals in the Qin army who were once under Li Xin's command, and there were also Li's allies in the court.

Li's is like this, and Wang's is even more so.At that time, the so-called country was still a clear family union, even if it was the emperor, it was only the most powerful one among the families, and it was far less divine than the later generations.

Therefore, the so-called struggle for power and profit, and even the fight for great position, is still a family war in essence.The invincible Qin army is actually composed of armed forces similar to family private soldiers.

Zhao Gao worked hard and planned day and night. Essentially, he wanted to use Hu Hai's name to gather more powerful military forces to fight against Fusu and Mengtian.

But now, he is close to success!

The reason why Wei Weijie was able to become one of the nine ministers was because the previous Wei Wei participated in Lao Ai's rebellion.Therefore, the first emperor used a slave as Jiuqing, that is, the nobles refused to associate with slaves, so that they could keep Jie loyal.

However, Jie is more than loyal, lacks ability, and is old and needs to be replaced urgently.If Li Chao can make the achievement of killing Jiao with Hu Hai, and he has daily military training, and is Li Xin's son, it will be a matter of course to succeed Jie and take control of the Weiwei Army.

This is difficult to plan.The Weiwei army was the personal army of the First Emperor, and no one could interfere.How to enable Li Chao to play is the big problem.

Zhao Gao personally recommended him for this. Although the first emperor accepted his invitation, Zhao Gao knew that the first emperor was suspicious, and at this time he must be vigilant because he intervened in the Weiwei army.

As for killing evil spirits, it's really not worth mentioning.

Never expected that this is the most unlikely place where there will be a problem, a big problem!

Li Chao was personally recommended by Zhao Gao, and he spoke so convincingly that he couldn't bear to be buried by a famous general.If this is not the case, it is impossible to win Li's heart and make him willing to be used by Zhao Gao.

This move also bound Zhao Gao and Li Chao together. If Li Chao performed meritorious service, Zhao Gao would naturally recommend him for his meritorious service.Li Chao made a mistake, and Zhao Gao was guilty of the same crime.

As a result, Zhao Gao, a peerless general who seemed like Daqin would overthrow if he didn't use it, actually lost his way on Langya Terrace!
Langya Terrace!

An earthen platform with a width of no more than seven miles and a height of less than a hundred feet, which can be seen at a glance!
How can I get lost?
How dare you get lost?

Moreover, if you get lost, you will get lost. What do you mean by entering the car?
Zhao Gao, as the commander of the CRRC government, naturally knew that if the military vehicle turned at a sharp angle, it would easily lose its wheels.

And a U-turn is more dangerous than a turn.

The military vehicle is heavy, although the volume is not large, but in order to deal with the bumps and impacts, the whole body is made of big wood.If the wheel is dropped and it overturns, the soldiers on board will be injured.

Moreover, chariots have special significance on the battlefield. The direct formation of pure cavalry troops has only happened in recent years. In the past, it was called military strength, and it was called the number of chariots!

Therefore, damage to military vehicles is more serious than damage to soldiers!

This is why Zhao Gaochu was so angry.

You don't need to ask him to know that returning to the carriage will definitely cause damage to the military vehicle.

If the chariot is damaged, some of the chariots and infantry will be injured.

This means that before he even got to Jiao, Li Chao had already lost his troops!

To be honest, if Li Chao failed to kill Jiao in this trip, Zhao Gao would accept it.

After all, the failure to kill the Jiao meant that the Jiao had supernatural powers, and it was not a crime of war.Li Chao may go to prison, at least Zhao Gao's recommendation is correct.

But what the hell are you getting lost in?

What is the meaning of carriage return?

If the first emperor knew about it, he would definitely ask about it.

Er Zhao Gao recommends a general who can get lost on Langyatai. This person has already lost his troops and lost his generals without seeing him.

But you praise him as a peerless general. What does this mean?
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gao suppressed the absurdity and anger in his heart.

There is still room for redemption in this matter!

Five days ago, the First Emperor had already started fasting and praying in the palace to prepare for offering sacrifices to heaven.

There are still five days of fasting and prayer. During these five days, he will neither deal with state affairs nor meet with foreign ministers!

Even if there are some twists and turns in the process of beheading the dragon, what you hear at this moment is completely different from what you hear five days later!

The so-called passage of time, as long as the evil spirits are beheaded, the first emperor's thoughts will be on offering sacrifices to the heavens, so how could he ask too much about what happened during the beheading process?

Shaking his sleeves, Zhao Gao straightened his clothes and moved his toes.

The pain in the toe was excruciating. It was obvious that he kicked the copper basin just now and broke it.

He endured the pain, a calm smile appeared on his face again, and he said apologetically to Li Si: "I'm slightly out of character, don't blame me Ting Wei."

Li Si had already taken off the deep clothes on his body, and while signaling the servant to bring him dry clothes, he glanced at Zhao Gao lightly, and secretly sneered in his heart.

He obeyed Zhao Gao, just because he had the confidence to hold Zhao Gao and Hu Hai in his hands, and he was not in the same heart with Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao was a member of Xing Yu, and although he was the son of Jiu Qing, Zhao Gao's grandfather was only an ordinary noble family in the Zhao Kingdom, and his background was actually very low.

In this way, it is normal for the upbringing to be worrying.

However, despite the slander in his heart, Li Si didn't show it on his face. He said indifferently: "The CRRC government order is only concerned, so it's messy!"

"I never thought that the son of Da Changxin is so unbearable, he can be said to be the second best on paper!" Zhao Gao showed a wry smile on his face.

"Maybe there's something fishy about this fog." Li Si was really considerate at this time.

But Zhao Gao's heart moved slightly: "I don't know about soldiers, so I dare to ask Ting Wei, the army is lost in the thick fog, how should I deal with it?"

What he told was the truth, even though he studied as a politician, and in order to please the First Emperor, he also studied Legalism assiduously.However, he really knew only a little about military matters.

But Li Si was different. Although he was not a military strategist, he was still the hero who unified the six countries and knew a lot about military affairs.

"It's a small matter." It was a rare time when Zhao Gao was so submissive, Li Si stroked his black beard with a smile on his face, "Did the CRRC government order forget that there is Sinan in the army?"

Zhao Gao stroked his forehead, feeling slightly ashamed.

"If I care about it, it will be chaotic!"

He turned his head, looked in the direction of Langyatai, and said with murderous intent: "I hope the son of Da Changxin knows how to identify Si Nan!"

……

Li Chao didn't know that he was already a complete idiot in Zhao Gao's heart at this time.

Just like Hu Hai looking at him at this time.

Of course, saying I don’t know is actually not very accurate.It should be said that he didn't dare to think at all at this time, and he had no time to think about it.

At this moment, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and he felt a chill in his heart as he looked at a hazy tree in front of him.

He is already very familiar with this tree, and it has even been engraved in his heart.

It is a crooked neck tree.

"Why is this tree here!" He said in a voiceless voice.

He remembered very clearly that he entered the mountain road from the west side of Langya Terrace, and then walked eastward.

The crooked neck tree is located on the outside of the mountain road, or called the right side of the road, on his right hand side.

Then he turned around on the spot. At this time, he was walking on the left side of the road. The right hand side became the inner side of the mountain road, and the left hand was the outer side of the mountain road.

In other words, the crooked neck tree was already on his left.In terms of orientation, it is south.

However, at this time, the Crooked Neck Tree appeared upright on the inside of the mountain road, where the Royal Road was originally located!

What exactly is going on?

Could it be said that this tree has legs and can walk?

But the tree may be a spirit, grow legs, and walk.

Could it be that Yudao also has legs and can walk?
Langyatai also has legs and can walk?

This side was originally the inside of the mountain road, and also the side of the third-layer earth platform.

Now even the earthen platform is gone!
Li Chao was stunned on the spot. How could such a miraculous thing happen in the world?
"Riding Captain!"

A voice suddenly sounded, but it was Hu Hai.

He had already noticed something was wrong at this time. After all, this crooked-neck tree was so distinctive that it had appeared several times in a short period of time.

He looked at Li Chao with sharp eyes and spoke firmly.

"This must be done, even the ghost!"

Li Chao was startled suddenly.

Ghost?

Ghost hitting the wall?
The theory of ghosts and gods has already emerged in the Shang Dynasty.The earliest ghost character is a pictographic character, which is the image of a villain kneeling with a Tian character head.

The word Tian represents Nuo, which is a mask.Therefore, the earliest word for ghost refers to those people who wear masks and kneel to worship, which is a metaphor for the dead.

By the Qin Dynasty, the theory of ghosts and gods was already extremely mature.From time to time, there is a "Book of the Sun", which combines astronomy, calendar, auspicious and unlucky events with all daily activities, including weddings and funerals, relatives, travel, etc.

It's just that there are "Sunshu" in various places, many and miscellaneous, all written by shamans from various countries. No one dares to say that he has read all "Sunshu".

However, Li Chao, the lost ghost, knew it because it came from "Jie Jiu". "Jie Jiu" is a book dedicated to introducing ghosts. These days, every noble family has a copy.

The lost ghost comes from this book, and it is also the ghost Li Chao is most familiar with.This ghost is to make people lose their way. Military scouts often encounter this ghost, and they are trapped in a certain place, and they can't get out no matter what.

"Zuo Zhuan" has a saying that in the 15th year of Duke Xuan of Lu, the Qin army attacked Jin.Jin general Wei Ke and Qin general Du Hui fought against the Fu family, and the two generals fought hard.

Du Hui was a famous strongman. When Wei Ke was about to lose, Du Hui suddenly lost his footing and fell down. Wei Ke took the opportunity to capture Du Hui alive, and the Qin army was defeated.

That night an old man entered Wei Kemeng, claiming that he was the father of Wei Wuzi's concubine.Wei Wuzi was the father of Wei Ke, and when the nobleman died, he had to be buried with his concubine. However, after Wei Wuzi passed away, Wei Ke remarried his concubine.

Therefore, even though the concubine's father had died as a ghost, he still tied up Du Hui and helped Wei Ke win in return.

This is the origin of knotting grass in "knotting grass holding ring".The old man is a so-called lost ghost, if he trips a horse's hoof, he will grow grass, if he traps a person, he will build a wall.

That is to say, ghosts hit the wall.

As a general in charge of the army, Li Chao is naturally familiar with the so-called ghosts and walls. However, is it possible?
He looked around subconsciously, and at this moment the surroundings were already a vast expanse of whiteness, and he couldn't see anything clearly.Including the sun in the sky, also hidden in the fog.

However, no matter how clearly he could see, he knew that he was in Langyatai at this time!

Langyatai is also the land of gods and spirits, where gods are yang and ghosts are yin. When ghosts see gods, they are like white snow seeing the scorching sun.

What the hell dares to be rampant in such a land of gods?

Moreover, ghost wall-breaking only occurs at night, and can only occur in places where the sun is not visible, such as woods, caves and other places.Otherwise, with the ability of scouts in the army, whether it is observing the sun, stars, or the surrounding mountains, rivers and swamps, they can determine the direction and easily get out of trouble.

When the sky is clear and the sun is bright, are there any ghosts?
However, Hu Hai's words reminded Li Chao that he patted the iron helmet again in annoyance.

I haven't been to the battlefield for a long time, so I'm slacking off!

Although he was the captain of the Weiwei Army and commanded part of the most powerful army in the world, the Weiwei Army had never had a chance to fight.

Although Li Chao keeps practicing every day, however, the practice is different from the real battlefield, the practice is controllable, and on the battlefield, any accident may happen!
That's why, facing the lost way at this moment, he can't even remember the artifact in the army!

"The general is very knowledgeable, so don't wait!"

"Where is the scout!" He ignored Hu Hai and gave a perfunctory compliment, then turned around and roared.

There was a sound of horseshoes, showing a sense of caution. Obviously, the scouts had been blocked by the thick fog at this time, so they could only follow the sound.

"Someone is here!" Following a few voices, three or four horses cautiously emerged from the fog, and the drenched scouts jumped off the horses, ready to salute Li Chao.

"No need to bow down!" Li Chao waved his hand fiercely, and he looked at one of them: "Bring Sinan!"

It is the scout's job to identify the direction for the army, so the scouts will carry things like Sinan with them.

Several scouts quickly untied a cowhide bag hanging from their waists. Li Chao didn't bother to wait, so he grabbed the cowhide bag from one of them and opened it casually.

Inside the cowhide bag were some maps, dry food, command arrows and other items. Li Chao took out a copper plate and a stone spoon from the bag.

Carefully place the copper plate on the shaft of the car. The copper plate is polished very brightly. If the color is not black, it can be used as a mirror.

The stone spoon was also completely black. Li Chao gently placed the spoon in the center of the copper plate, turned the handle of the spoon slightly, and the stone spoon began to spin on the copper plate.

But Li Chao stared wide-eyed, not daring to vent his breath.

After ten breaths of time, the spoon finally stopped, with the handle pointing straight to the side.

"This is the south!" Li Chao frowned instantly, and then quickly separated.

The direction the handle of the spoon is pointing is very strange, and Li Chao can't connect his behavior since he came on stage with this direction anyway.

However, this is not the key!
The key point is that Sinan is an artifact in the army. It is rumored that in the past when the Yellow Emperor fought against Chi You, when encountering thick fog, he relied on Sinan's chariot to guide the direction and find the correct path.

Since he uses Sinan, he should trust Sinan, and to be honest, Li Chao already has doubts about the so-called position in his heart at this time.

"So," he stepped forward in the direction Sinan pointed, and stretched out one hand, "we should go this way..."

"Riding Captain!"

A voice sounded, interrupting Li Chao's calculations. He turned his head viciously and looked at the person who made the voice: "What's the matter!"

"Let's ride the captain and watch..." The one who spoke was also a scout. He was a little nervous at this moment, and his whole body was shaking.

"What are you looking at?" Li Chao's voice was even more severe, Wei Wei's army is the most powerful army in the world, and the scouts are the bravest in the army, otherwise they would not dare to charge into the enemy's army with a few horses.

However, this scout trembled all over because of his angry reprimand, and it was still in front of the youngest son Hu Hai, it was a shame to Wei Weijun!
"So-and-so Sinan, the guide for this..." The scout cautiously pointed behind him.

"Nonsense! All Sinan are guides, how can Sinan point to the east..."

While scolding Li Chao angrily, he subconsciously glanced down at the ground. Sinan, the scout, was on the ground at this moment. When he saw Sinan for the first time, Li Chao was taken aback for a moment.

I saw Sinan on the ground, the handle of the spoon was indeed pointing in the direction behind him as the scout said.

A touch of cold air suddenly appeared from the soles of Li Chao's feet, and spread to his whole body in an instant.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, and looked at the other scouts: "Where is your Sinan?"

There was no need for the other scouts to reply. At this time, Li Chao had already seen three Sinans on the ground. Apparently when he gave the order, the other scouts had already taken out the Sinans and started to identify the direction.

And the three Si Nan, plus the one Li Chao placed on the shaft of the car, made a total of four.

The four Sinans each point to one side, but none of them are the same!
Li Chao was dumbfounded, he only felt that his soul seemed to be frozen in an instant.

Si Nan is made of magnets.Qin Shi had already figured out the basic characteristics of magnets. For example, magnets can attract gold and iron, and they are divided into two poles: Yin and Yang, which repel and attract each other.

Sinan is made according to the two poles of yin and yang, Shaobing is the cathode, and the guide is the south pole.

In addition to not knowing the so-called geomagnetism and referring to it as yin and yang, the people of Qin knew enough about Sinan to be on par with later generations, and even new forms of Sinan such as the so-called hanging needle method appeared because of this.

Si Nan is extremely reliable, unless there is a magnetic mountain nearby.However, Langya Mountain is definitely not a magnetic mountain!

Even Sinan couldn't point him in the right direction, this is definitely not what the so-called ghosts can do!
"Find the sun quickly!" Li Chao suddenly roared. He looked at the scouts with a crazy look on his face and took the lead in looking up at the sky.

Not only him, but several scouts, and even the nearby soldiers who could hear his orders, all looked up at the sky in unison.

Thick fog has enveloped the surrounding areas, and the sky and earth are so vast that it is even impossible to tell clearly where is the sky and where is the earth!

Li Chao patrolled the sky inch by inch, carefully observing the subtle changes in brightness in the fog.

"Found it!" A voice weeping with joy suddenly sounded, and Li Chao turned his head when he heard the sound, only to see a scout pointing to a certain place in the sky with an overjoyed face.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Li Chao was also overjoyed!

I saw a faint halo hanging squarely in the sky amid the mist.This halo is extremely blurry, and if you don't look carefully, you can easily miss it.

And at first glance, this halo can't see the shape of the sun at all. You need to stare carefully to leave a round shadow in front of your eyes the moment your eyes move.

Li Chao fixed his eyes on the dizzy man, blinked quickly, and watched for ten breaths before he closed his eyes.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and a shockingly bright light passed through his eyes.

"This is indeed the sun!"

With a touch of pleasure and humiliation about to expose his opponent's tricks, he gritted his teeth and said, "When we went up the mountain, it was the beginning of the eclipse, when the sun was just rising, and we were in the east!"

The eating time is from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am. Qin Shi also has twelve hours, but the name is different from that of the twelve earthly branches in later generations. Time for breakfast.

"And at the beginning of the last eclipse, we have reached the second mountain road!" He calculated quickly.

As the name suggests, the last meal means that the food is finished.The end of the day and the beginning of the day naturally means a little after nine in the morning.

"At this time, it is about the end of the eclipse, and the sun has reached the southeast!"

"If this direction is southeast, then this direction is..." He faced the direction of the sun and turned to look behind him.

It's just that before he finished speaking, another exclamation sounded.

"Riding Captain!"

"What's the matter!" Li Chao turned around quickly, looked at the person who spoke murderously, and involuntarily touched the hilt of his sword.

This person is the scout who previously said that Si Nan's direction was inconsistent. Li Chao wished to kill him with a sword, because every time he spoke, it was bad, and his appearance was hideous.

At this moment, he was already crying bitterly.

"Captain Qi, look here!" The crying scout raised his hand tremblingly to signal to Li Chao.

Li Chao forcibly resisted the urge to cut this person with a sword, and looked towards the sky along his arm.

The next moment, as if thunder exploded above his head, Li Chao was stunned on the spot again.

I saw a halo in the direction pointed by the scout, exactly the same as the halo I saw just now!
With a "crash", Li Chao sat down on the ground involuntarily.

He stared blankly at the sky. In the sky, there were two halos facing each other at this moment, both halos were exactly the same, facing each other from a distance.

It turned out to be, there are two days in the sky!
