Gai Nie left, left Chang'an's palace, left Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and disappeared without a trace.
When Ying Chengyu returned to Xianyang, Gai Nie had already left, and the two of them had not even met.
When he left, the best swordsman in the world took nothing with him. Including the sword that Ying Chenglong had loved since it was given to him, never left him, and treated him better than Xijun.
呲~
Ying Chengyu grasped the scabbard with his left hand and the hilt with his right hand, and pulled out the sword halfway. The bright sword blade had no rust at all, reflecting his slightly lonely face, and the cold light shone.
"Gai Nie is Gai Nie, but you are not Yuan Hong. If the sword holder loses the heart of the sword, although you can still cut iron like clay, you will not be able to show your edge."
Manpower sometimes runs out.
He was able to cure the illness of the First Emperor's heart, but he could not repair the heart of Genie's sword.
In the afternoon, Ying Chengyu came to Lu Goujian and wanted Lu Goujian to return to Xinzheng. Xinzheng did not have a peerless master in charge, so he was a little worried after all.
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
This trip returned to Xianyang in a hurry, and Ying Chengyu only brought Lu Goujian and Yue Nu. Han Ji, the Lu family's three daughters, and most of their belongings remained in Xinzheng.
Xinzheng is no better than Xianyang. It is guarded by the strongest group of people in the world. The strict Qin laws ban most of the so-called masters. The night curfew even keeps out the Night Walkers.
"Your Majesty, do you want to stay in Xianyang forever?"
"Brother Emperor is on tour, and I want to go with him."
"Your Majesty, take care."
The defense force around the First Emperor was extremely high. Judging from Gai Nie's intelligence, the doctor Ling Zhang Han and the imperial physician Ling Xia Wuqi were both peerless masters at the same level as him.
Even if we don't mention these, it is extremely difficult to get to the First Emperor with a group of overt and covert guards. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will not be able to defend against the continuous powerful crossbows, so you can only protect yourself.
If you are caught in an encirclement, no matter it is the battle formation of the army or the martial arts of small-scale masters, they will become turtles in the urn and can only be killed at the neck.
Lu Goujian had nothing to worry about since the king and the First Emperor shared protection, not to mention the close protection of Yue Nu, who was the best at killing people with a vicious sword.
The old man took a carriage and took the road back to Xinzheng to solve his worries.
The old man did not ask to exchange places with Yue Nu, not because Yue Nu was better at swordsmanship than him, nor because Yue Nu could sleep with you, but because he was old.
When the First Emperor went on a tour, he had to travel long distances and be tired of traveling and traveling. These hardships are nothing to a young man, but they are very difficult for an old man of his age.
At his age, he can also look after homes and nursing homes.
The carriage swayed up and down, left and right, as the horses galloped.
Lu Goujian was a little dizzy from being shaken, so he raised the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The newly built galloping road is flat and neat, with no potholes or ruts. The color is black, the favorite color of Qin people, which corresponds to the water virtues. The main road is fifty steps wide, and a tree is planted every three feet.
Both sides of the road were rammed thickly with metal cones, and were pressed flat and tight, making it difficult for the rain to wash away the sand.
When he was young, Lu Goujian traveled all over the world and won the reputation as the best swordsman in the world with a two-foot long sword.
His sword is nameless, but it has defeated all the famous swords in the world.
Tai'a, Gan Jiang, Mo Xie, Ju Que, and Madam Xu were all defeated by the nameless sword in his hand.
At that time, he was riding a tall horse, which would become muddy when it rained. If it didn't rain, the horse would run across the sandy road, and the bumps would be much greater than now.
But not only did he not feel dizzy as he did now, he only felt intoxicated. He would often ride his horse and sing wildly to attract thieves and robbers, and he would behead the thieves with a single sword and a cup of tea.
The newly built Chi Road is much flatter and wider than the road he took when he was young. When he was young, he did not dare to imagine that there could be such an easy road in the world.
And now, such a road beyond his imagination appeared in front of him. And it would not just be built on one road. In the future, it would be spread all over the beautiful rivers and mountains, north and south of the river.
"I was not born before you were born, but you were already old when you were born.
"If I have thirty years, Gou Jian will follow you and stand on the top of the mountains, and I will see the world turn upside down and the world will be prosperous and prosperous."
Ying Chengyu, who secretly returned to Xianyang, lived in seclusion and spent the remaining days of November and most of December in the Chang'an Jun's Mansion.
In name, he is still in Xianyang Prison and cannot be too arrogant.
The time has come on December 1st.
"Historical Records of the Qin Dynasty": On the twelfth lunar month, people hunted animals and sacrificed their ancestors at the end of the year, so this day was established.
"Tongkao of Literature": Bala, the ancestor of La, said that he used the birds obtained from hunting in the fields as sacrifices.
The wax offering is different from the wax offering.
The former is on the last fifth day of December, and the latter is on the first day of October.
The wax festival in December worships the "Five Ancestors", the gods of ancestors. This sacrifice is held in the temple, and the sacrifices used are animals obtained from field hunting.
The wax sacrifice is a ritual sacrifice to the eight gods, and the sacrifices used are "to gather all things and eat them." The "all things" mentioned here should refer to the grains and grains produced in the fields. This sacrifice should be a suburban sacrifice, that is,
To offer sacrifices in the open air is to offer sacrifices to heaven.
The Wax Festival is an aristocratic festival for kings and ministers, while the Wax Festival is a popular festival celebrated by the whole world.
After all, apart from the hunters who live in the mountains, the only people who can hunt are nobles. And the only people who can sacrifice the food they hunt without eating it are the nobles.
The same thing between wax offering and wax offering is that both have the meaning of praying for the harvest in the coming year.
The First Emperor pardoned his younger brother on the day of the twelfth lunar month, on the grounds that the late king had a dream.
In the dream, the late king scolded him for not caring about brotherhood and even killing his only younger brother. Did he forget the original feeling of giving up the throne?
After waking up from the dream, the First Emperor urgently summoned the doctor of dream science from the Doctoral Department to the palace to interpret the dream.
Doctor Mengxue made a prophecy: "If the Lord of Chang'an is not released, the ancestors of Qin will not be happy, they will not protect Qin, and Qin will suffer misfortune."
On this twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month when ancestors are worshipped, the ancestors all come back to enjoy the sacrifices. Isn’t it reasonable for the ancestors to ask for their dreams?
Isn't it reasonable for the late king to ask the First Emperor to release Ying Chengyu? After all, the late king only had two heirs, so naturally he didn't want to see his two sons kill each other.
The First Emperor, who was kingly, domineering, and imperial, couldn't have any objections to his filial ministers. What's more, the important affairs of the country were in the army and in the sacrificial ceremony.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, I dreamed about my ancestors, and the dream doctor also said, "If you don't follow what your ancestors said, God will definitely come down and punish you." This is God's will.
.
These nobles from aristocratic families who believe in heaven cannot disobey the will of heaven. How can they not want Qin to perish?
The trees are lush.
The bleak north wind entered the forest, and the temperature dropped by at least two levels.
Half of the city defense troops were dispatched to surround the forest located a hundred miles southwest of Xianyang. Anyone who dared to approach the forest during these five days would be killed without mercy.
This forest area is called Luming Garden. During the period of King Qin Zhaoxiang, it was designated as exclusive for the Ying clan. No common people were allowed to enter it all year round. It was exclusively used by King Qin Zhaoxiang for horseback riding and hunting.
It was not until the time of King Zhuang and Xiang of Qin that the forest was returned to the people. People were not allowed in the forest only on the fifth day of the wax festival when they hunted and worshiped their ancestors, thus supporting many hunters.
The First Emperor is riding a black horse, with a long sword hanging on his waist and a powerful bow on his back. The black cloak is swaying in the wind, flying together with his long hair. His face is calm and intimidating, and he is paired with deep, non-reflective black iron armor, which is majestic.
stern.
Next to the First Emperor was Ying Cheng, who was dressed in light clothes, without a sword or a bow. He was sitting on a horse of the same color that was one size smaller than the First Emperor's black horse. He was holding the reins with both hands and shaking from side to side, as if he was about to fall at any moment.
insect.
The Ying clan has a very good bloodline, and every concubine and queen is a beautiful woman. The appearance of the two brothers is faultless and attractive.
However, most of the accompanying nobles looked at the First Emperor with anger and awe, but dared not speak.
But the eyes he looked at Ying Chengyu were filled with disgust, hatred, and a hidden murderous intention.
Release Ying Chenglong, and anyone with a discerning eye will know what is going on.
But they didn't dare to have any thoughts about the superior First Emperor. Just like Shang Yang's reform, the nobles of the old Qin Dynasty knew that the person standing behind Shang Yang was the First Emperor, but they only dared to hate Shang Yang.
Xiangbang Jiang Shang was a guest of the emperor of Chang'an, and Lieutenant Lian Po was also a guest of the emperor of Chang'an. Nowadays, the foreign officials who are very active in the court have a common teacher - Xunzi, and Xunzi, who is famous all over the world, was also a guest of the emperor of Chang'an.
Lord Chang'an killed the three major families of Meng Xibai, but afterwards his power occupied the entire Xianyang. The nobles all knew that being imprisoned in Xianyang Prison was the last fig leaf and an explanation for them.
But now, Ying Chengyu has been released, and this fig leaf that allowed them to comfort themselves has been taken off, and all the aristocratic families feel that they have been severely insulted and in great crisis.
If Ying Chengyu were replaced by anyone else, the nobles of the aristocratic families would forget their hatred, and instead show goodwill and interact with each other. If the three major families of Meng Xibai died, they would just die. Fortunately, it was not my family that died.
But only Ying Chengyu can't.
Ying Chengyu's stance was against heaven and against the aristocracy, and he wanted to dig out their roots so that they could no longer monopolize the Qin officialdom. This was an irreconcilable contradiction.
The hooves tread the grass, and the horses drink by the flowing water.
The most recent group of people following the First Emperor, Ying Chengyu, were Meng Yi, Zhang Han, Gan Luo, Li Si and others. These people were the first-class nobles.
During the wax festival hunting, whoever catches it belongs to him.
Unless there is nothing for five days, no one will use the prey caught by others to worship their ancestors. Such behavior as laziness and taking advantage of others is regarded as dishonest and disrespectful to the ancestors.
When the two arrived at Xiaolu, the First Emperor, Zhang Han, and Meng Yi had already dismounted and stood beside Xiaolu.
Mi Sui jumped off the horse and landed on the ground. Just now she was sitting on the horse, and her appearance looked normal. When she stood still, her arms hanging down were even above her knees.
"I shouldn't have asked you, a sharpshooter, to follow me. If I'm in the same team as you, the prey I see will not be mine."
[With your Majesty’s archery skills, it will be difficult for you to catch prey with or without me.]
Mi Suiqian laughed.
"Your Majesty is joking."
The deer was dead. The long arrow not only penetrated its body, but also penetrated its heart, killing it with one blow.
Mi Sui pulled out the long arrow with force, checked the arrowhead and feathers, and judged that it could still be used. He wiped the blood on the deer and put it back into the quiver.
His wingspan is extremely long and his strength is great. He can draw his bow one meter with ease. Each long arrow is specially made and very precious.
He grabbed the deer and was about to put the prey on his horse.
"You used this long bow to shoot me back then. If it weren't for Zhao Gao, I wouldn't be here today."
