On the official road outside Xianyang City, hundreds of poor people with sallow faces and skinny muscles marched towards Xianyang City under the guard of a group of soldiers. This was a group of strong men. In order to escape from the corvee, many people did not hesitate to leave their homes and flee. However, the whole world
Next, could it be that it was not the king's land? Where could these people escape to? They were eventually captured.
The captured people will go to Xianyang City to build a star-catching platform. It is said that this is a star-catching platform specially built by Qin Shihuang for the imperial master. It will be the tallest building in Xianyang.
On the official road, except for this team, loess would rise from time to time, and teams of cavalry galloped past the official road, leaving dust on the ground.
"Ahem, these damn guys don't know how to slow down." A soldier couldn't help complaining.
"Stop complaining. They are all the Forbidden Army, and their status is many levels higher than ours. If you have the ability, after this job is completed, you can find connections to join the Forbidden Army. Then you can be so arrogant."
"Bah, I won't join the Forbidden Army. Their life is not easy now, but I heard about it, Your Majesty..."
"Shh, shut up. Are these things you should talk about?" One of the leaders of these soldiers glared at the soldier, "Do your job well, and don't talk nonsense."
The team returned to calm, and the expressions of those who were captured were very dull, because they knew that as escapees, once they were caught, they would continue to serve in corvee until the end of their lives.
However, there are exceptions. Among this group of poor people, a young man and a girl looked a little excited, because Xianyang City had already appeared in their sight.
"stop!"
However, when the team was still one mile outside Xianyang City, a cavalry team came out from the side and blocked the front.
"What do you do?" The leader of the cavalry glanced at the team and asked the leader of the soldiers.
"Reporting to the military master, these are all deserters from various places. We have captured them and will send them to build the star-catching platform."
After hearing the soldier's answer, the cavalry leader waved his hand towards his men, and immediately, these cavalrymen surrounded hundreds of people.
"Master Jun, what are you doing?"
"We received a secret report that someone with evil intentions is trying to enter Xianyang to sabotage, and we were ordered to check here. Now, you people pass in front of me one by one, and all of you raise your heads."
"Yes...yes, the military master is also responsible for this. If you heard this, please raise your heads and let the military master look at you."
Under the watchful eye of the cavalry leader, these people passed by cautiously. However, among the crowd, the faces of the young man and the girl changed.
"Brother Qin, are these people here to arrest us?" the girl whispered in the young man's ear.
Needless to say, the identities of the girl and the young man are already clear. The girl is Youyou and the young man is Qin Yu.
After leaving the village, Qin Yu took Youyou towards Xianyang. However, on the way, he encountered soldiers who were catching escaping from the corvee. How could these soldiers dare to say whether Qin Yu and Youyou were escaping from the corvee?
They were given a head count and had to complete it, so they simply arrested Qin Yu and Youyou to fill up the count.
Qin Yu did not resist, because he knew that these soldiers were taking them to Xianyang City. Following these soldiers would save them a lot of trouble, especially when there were many cavalry galloping by along the way.
Seeing that the equipment of these cavalry was exactly the same as that of the cavalry he had killed in the village, Qin Yu concluded that there were far more than one group sent to capture him.
Qin Yu's choice to hide in this team was indeed a wise choice. At least it saved him a lot of hurdles on the way to Xianyang. However, now that he is only one step away from Xianyang City,
But there was a crisis again.
Qin Yu knew very well that according to this detection method, he would definitely be discovered if people walked by one by one. After a moment of silence, Qin Yu whispered in Youyou's ear: "Youyou, you will be here soon."
Stand separately from me, and remember, no matter what happens to me, don't stand up, just pretend you don't know me."
"Brother Qin, I don't, I want to be with you." Youyou said firmly.
"Don't be stupid, nothing will happen to me. These people can't do anything to me, but I won't be able to take care of you when the time comes, so you must not fall into their hands."
Hearing what Qin Yu said, Youyou nodded reluctantly, and then followed Qin Yu's instructions and retreated behind Qin Yu, leaving a dozen people between him and Qin Yu.
The crowd continued to advance, and the distance between Qin Yu and the cavalry leader also continued to shorten. The number of people in front of him changed from one or two hundred to twenty or thirty.
Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. After a while, he had clearly observed the situation around him and made an escape plan in his mind. When he walked in front of the cavalry leader, he suddenly attacked and knocked him out.
Shoot him off his horse and then escape on horseback.
After a cup of tea, there were only five people in front of Qin Yu. Qin Yu made a fist with one hand, which was a handful of dust. If he wanted to catch the opponent off guard, he had to be unexpected. Qin Yu had already
I had thought about it, and when there were still two people left in front of me, I would throw the dust in my hand towards the cavalry leader.
Time seemed to be frozen at this moment. Five people, four people, three people. When Qin Yu's right hand was slightly raised, suddenly, behind him, there was the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats.
"The imperial carriage has arrived. Everyone dismounts to welcome it."
A cavalryman rushed from the official road and shouted at all the officers, soldiers and people on both sides.
Whoosh!
When the common people heard the roar of the cavalry, they quickly stood aside the official road with a look of respect on their faces. The cavalry leader also immediately jumped off his horse. All the cavalry dismounted, led their horses, and walked away.
Arrived aside.
As for Qin Yu, he naturally followed the crowd and retreated to one side.
Qin Yu's eyes searched for Youyou in the crowd, and then gave Youyou a comforting look, signaling her not to act rashly.
After appeasing Youyou, Qin Yu squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the official road. There was a huge team there, at least a thousand people. At the front were more than a few hundred cavalry. These cavalry equipment
Sophisticated, even better than those forbidden troops, and behind the cavalry, there are hundreds of maids standing on both sides, and behind it, there is a luxurious carriage, and behind the carriage, there are hundreds of maids, and then, next
Several hundred infantrymen.
"Is the person sitting in the carriage the Imperial Preceptor?" Qin Yu's eyes fell on the carriage. The Imperial Preceptor is an extremely mysterious figure, because there is no mention of it in all the records of the history of the Qin Dynasty in later generations.
Mentioning the existence of such a person, Qin Yu understood that this national preceptor was the most important person in the Qin Dynasty, second only to Qin Shihuang.
Why did such a big man leave no trace in history? And the most important thing is that the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum of people like me also has the figure of this Imperial Advisor. Who is this Imperial Advisor? Is he a man or a woman?
?
Compared with Qin Yu's eyes falling on this carriage, other people on both sides of the official road all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the carriage. At this moment, there was only a carriage on the entire official road.
The sound of a turning wheel.
Wherever the carriage reached, both the common people and officers and soldiers on both sides were kneeling on the ground. This clearly shows the high status of the Imperial Guard.
The carriage was surrounded on all sides, and Qin Yu couldn't see who was sitting inside. This also made Qin Yu a little regretful. From this point of view, it was almost impossible to see the true face of this national master.
However, just when the carriage drove to Qin Yu's side and all the people around Qin Yu knelt down, suddenly, a cold light shot out from Qin Yu's side, and then, a dozen figures suddenly emerged from the official road.
Jumped out from both sides and headed straight towards the carriage.
"There are assassins, hurry up and protect the Imperial Master."
The first ones to react were the maids beside the carriage. However, after these maids shouted these words, they were stabbed by the dozen men in black from both sides of the official road.
.
"Escort and capture the assassin."
The large army suddenly panicked, and the cavalry rushed towards the carriage. However, based on their distance, I am afraid that by the time they arrived, these dozen assassins would have already rushed into the carriage, because these dozen assassins were very skilled.
It was first-class, and all the maids who were guarding the carriage were killed in an instant.
You know, these maids have been trained and their skills are pretty good, but even so, they still failed to stop these assassins. You can imagine how good these assassins are.
Because Qin Yu was on the side of the carriage, he could see everything that happened clearly. The blood of several killed maids was even splashed on his body.
"Kill the demon master, and the Qin Dynasty will surely destroy itself."
After the dozen or so men in black got rid of the maids, they shouted loudly and stabbed at the carriage with more than a dozen long swords, intending to directly stab the Imperial Master into a hornet's nest.
However, just when the swords in the hands of these dozen men in black were about to come into contact with the carriage, suddenly, a disdainful voice came from the carriage, "You dare to assassinate, you are really overestimating your capabilities."
This was the voice of a woman. Qin Yu was stunned for a moment. This imperial master was actually a woman?
Bang!
The next moment, the curtain of the carriage was raised, and a figure flew out from it. When Qin Yu saw the face of this figure clearly, he was stunned. Isn't this the goddess? But, how could the goddess be the national master?
