Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 77

After the rain gradually subsided.

Without hesitation, Li Tong took office immediately.

The road surface is still muddy, and there are still raindrops falling from time to time.

But this did not hinder his progress in the slightest.

As soon as Li Tong left on his front foot, Ji Mo came on his back foot.

Ying Yuan needs a confidant to be by his side at all times.

Otherwise, once something happens and needs to be dealt with urgently, he will not be able to trust others at all.

This trip to various places is a business trip, and it is always inconvenient to have a famous woman by my side, so I didn't let Suzaku accompany him.

"In the past few days, Ben Hou has become more and more anxious."

Ying Yuan left Gaoling and headed towards Yongcheng.

Ji Mo frowned and said: "I heard that a few days ago, Xiangbang and Lord Hou had a conversation outside Liyang City, but because of this?"

Sitting on the horseback, Ying Yuan felt puzzled, "How did you know about this?"

Ji Mo replied truthfully, "When my subordinates came to see Lord Hou, they heard rumors from many officials from all over the country that the relationship between Lord Hou and Xiangbang seemed to be somewhat relaxed. I went to see you."

Ying Yuan smiled wryly and said: "If it is not expected, the king should know about it by now."

At the end of the season, at the wedding of the champion Hou, I saw the king of Daqin with my own eyes, and I was very impressed with him, "The king is wise and wise, so he shouldn't be suspicious of you, Lord Hou, because of this kind of thing, right?"

Ying Yuan shook his head and said: "This is not what the Marquis is worried about. It is because he can't guess what Lu Buwei's intention is. Is it just to have a few words with Ben Hou when he came to Liyang from Xianyang? Talk? Have a glass of wine?"

Due to the obsession of the authorities, he didn't know at all that the meeting in the gazebo that day was the first time the two of them drank alone, communicated, and met, and it was also the last time.

Yongcheng is the old capital of the Qin State, and the Marquis of Guannei is in charge of the affairs of the whole city on weekdays.

Ying Yuan didn't stay here for long.

When he entered the city, the Marquis of Guannei greeted him personally.

Ying Yuan gave him polite respect.

After all, according to his seniority, he still had to call Guan Neihou his grandfather.

Among Ying's clan, the Marquis of Guannei is deeply loved and respected by everyone.

When he came to Yong City this time, Ying Yuan didn't want to be disturbed too much. After investigating the weapons inventory in the city, he asked someone to send the Marquis of Guannei back to rest.

Ying Yuan set off from the arsenal to the old palace.

He stood on a tall building in an old palace, looked at the scenery in the city, and said to Ji Mo behind him, "Do you know why the capital was moved from Yongcheng to Xianyang?"

Ji Mo scratched the back of his head, and said with embarrassment: "Master Hou, this subordinate follows you, and only learned some military tactics, such as government affairs, this subordinate doesn't know anything about it."

Hearing the sound, Ying Yuan shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly, "You can't just study the art of war. If you master the art of war, you can learn by analogy."

At the end of the season, he bowed and said: "The brains of this subordinate are not enough. If you study a method in this life, if you can achieve something, you will be satisfied."

"Having this idea is also commendable. The world just wants too much, but does too little."

After a pause, Ying Yuan turned around, looked at him, and continued: "From the perspective of military affairs, it is actually very easy to understand. The surroundings of Yongcheng are barren and there is no danger to defend, but Xianyang is different, occupying the main road in Guanzhong , occupying the advantage of Guanzhong. In the past, the capitals used by our Qin State were either too close to the enemy, or they were easy to attack and difficult to defend."

Ying Yuan stretched and got off the pavilion.

At the end of the season, while thinking, he followed his steps closely.

After staying in Yongcheng for a few days, they planned to return to Xianyang.

at the same time.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

Nongyu's injury has healed.

She received an order from Han Fei to go to one of the watchmen's sub-helms, a blacksmith's shop.

The so-called hidden in the market.

The watchmen set up one of the sub-rudders in the middle of the downtown area, which is indeed a fact that few people know.

However, this could not be hidden from Han Fei's eyes at all.

In the whole of South Korea, apart from nightfall and snares, only quicksand can control the movements of some of the thugs.

There was a constant sound of hammers beating in the shop.

When Nongyu came here, she seemed rather puzzled.

Unexpectedly, there was only one shirtless and stout man in one of the sub-helmsmen.

Then, there was no trace of the others.

And the man who was wielding the bronze sword was Baihu.

"Is the girl okay?"

Baihu noticed Nongyu.

He just looked up, and then continued to beat a bronze sword with his head buried.

A good sword often needs to go through thousands of tempers.

It may also be that Nongyu came at the wrong time. At this moment, there are some flaws in the sharp sword that Baihu is casting.

"I came here because I want to thank you, and I want to talk to you, Commander."

Nongyu didn't directly say why he came.

Bai Hu responded softly: "Wait a minute."

He is notoriously one-sided among the watchmen, with sharp horns.

If he concentrates on forging a weapon, and there are some accidents in the forging process of this weapon, he must fill in the flaws or gaps in this weapon to make it perfect again, and then he will stop.

Otherwise, if it was left to other people, they would definitely have to put down what they were busy with, or ask what was going on, and wouldn't be like him, who would directly turn away visitors, and even let her stand stupidly.

This is not the way of hospitality.

But this also just shows Baihu's serious attitude.

Nongyu nodded, and stood outside the blacksmith's shop without saying a word.

She also knew a little about the principle of forging equipment, and saw that the fire in the oven in the shop was weak, and as a result, a sword that was supposed to be perfected after being baked would die halfway.

When the fire in the oven was a little weaker, the white tiger started to move very fast.

Nongyu saw that he hastily squatted down and pulled up the bellows beside the stove, and the wind entered the stove in an instant, and the flames in the furnace shot up, and the bronze sword he was casting was put into the furnace by him, and it was burned red by the stove in an instant , Then he placed the sword on the big iron pier that stood on the stove, and began to beat it again and again.

This blacksmith's shop is different from other places. Generally speaking, the iron pier and the stove should be placed separately, but here they are together. No matter how the external force beats, the stove is still unmoved and indestructible.

It can be described as quite strange.

It wasn't until the bronze sword was cast that Baihu put down the things in his hand, looked at Nongyu, and said in his rough voice, "I don't know what the girl wants to say when you come to me?"

He received an order from Champion Hou to take good care of her while he was in Xinzheng.

As for Lord Hou, he has always regarded him as Guigao.

So he treated Nongyu very politely.

"I came here mainly because of the order of the Ninth Prince Han Fei, and I wanted to ask the commander something." Nongyu didn't hesitate, said something straightforward, and blurted out: "Dare to ask the commander. The manpower is increasing, what do you want?"

Hearing the sound, Baihu's face became heavy.

He appreciates that Nongyu didn't choose to communicate with him in a stereotyped way.

Because that would only arouse his resentment.

And Nongyu knew very well in his heart that the other party was one of the eight commanders of the watchmen, no matter how he got in touch with him, he would definitely not say what he shouldn't say.

What can be said, will be able to know everything without saying nothing.

That's why she didn't go around the corner and asked directly.

After a moment of silence, Bai Hu slowly said: "I'm sorry, this is a top secret, but I can tell you that we have no malice towards South Korea, and we have no interest in interfering in South Korea's internal affairs. It’s all to better check and balance Luo Wang, as for what Luo Wang will do in South Korea’s Xinzheng, this is beyond what we can understand.”

Nongyu nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Commander for letting me know, Nongyu is already satisfied to get this answer, thank you Commander again for saving me."

When the words fell, she turned and left.

After Bai Hu watched her go, he fell into the busy again.

He knew very well in his heart that this blacksmith shop had been active for too long and had already attracted attention, but even though Nong Yu came here to look for him, he still did not leave.

To fight the watchman, if someone is in the dark, someone must be in the light.

The bright side needs to divert the attention of others, while the dark side is the most important main force of this organization.

Just around this blacksmith's shop, it is full of snares.

It's impossible for Baihu to be unclear, but he still ignores it.
