Volume 4 Chapter 1 Purple Bamboo Forest
Zhao Gao was just a small citizen in the market, and was selected by LΓΌ Buwei, not only castrated, but also sent to the dangerous city of Yongcheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Yongcheng is a barrier to block the border nomads, and during the autumn pasture period every year, there must be a war with the Xiongnu, Qiang and other grassland tribes. The people in the city must always be ready to go to the battlefield, maybe only the next moment, the enemy will come to the city.
The most important thing now is to gain the trust of the orchid. If you can't get her to trust, the end is even more dangerous. This princess orchid, Zhao Gao has already seen the ruthlessness of the enemy. He is a pawn, such a small person is torn between big people, and the day is precarious.
Zhao Gao said frankly: "Lord Lu sent the villain here for two purposes, one is to find out the news of Yongcheng, and the other is to steal Qin Jian. β
Hu Ji narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "In order to gain my trust, even the master can betray him, if you can betray Lu Buwei today, you will betray me tomorrow." Your abacus is very good, you talk about people when you see people, talk nonsense when you see ghosts, and you can make profits from fishing left and right. β
Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt down, trembling, and trembled: "I was originally from a farming family in a mountain village, and I farmed the land for Lu Buwei, and he personally came forward to threaten his family. The villain is powerless to stop it, and he can't even be a normal person, I and Lu Buwei really have a deep hatred for gnashing teeth, and I also ask the princess to know it. β
Ying Hao said for Zhao Gao at this time: "Xianyang really hasn't heard of it, there is such a eunuch as Zhao Gao, the princess needs someone to serve her, stay with him, and when he returns to Xianyang in the future, he can inquire about many things in the harem." β
In Xianyang Palace, especially in the harem, many princes and ministers were not allowed to move around at will. Outside of King Qin, only the eunuchs and palace maids inside can walk freely. Ying Zheng and Hu Ji will return to Xianyang sooner or later, without leaving a few henchmen and eunuchs, the news is blocked, and it is difficult to survive in the harem.
Hu Ji understood what Ying Hao meant, and if Zhao Gao was used, he would have to be completely brought over. Let him tear his face with Lu Buwei, and want to step on two boats, left and right, that won't work.
Hu Ji said: "Sister Fusheng, the flying pigeon passed the book to Sister Da Si Ming, and sent a team of dead soldiers to bring Zhao Gao's family to Yongcheng." β
Fusheng said with a smile: "This is easy to do, the dead soldiers in the palace come forward, except for the king, no one else dares to stop it." As long as Sister Dasi says a word, Lu Buwei will never dare to talk nonsense, and now Xianyang is surging in private, and no one dares to be the first to stand up. β
The regime of the Qin State has changed, Yingzhu has just ascended to the throne, even if his body is no longer good, the new official has taken office three fires, and he has been looking for someone to burn it. All the courtiers of Great Qin understand this truth, once the son of heaven and a courtier, whoever dares to covet something first will become the target of everyone's attack.
Among these people, there is an extremely special identity, that is, the Great Commander.
Da Si Ming was not a courtier of the Qin State, and he had a personal relationship with Yingzhu, and he controlled the guards of Xianyang Palace, and her words also represented the meaning of Yingzhu. No matter who it is, you have to give some face, in case anyone accidentally provokes her, just kill her, and no one dares to jump out and say more.
At this moment, Zhao Gao was completely convinced of this princess orchid. He can flatter everyone he meets, but he doesn't risk his loved ones. He is already a wasted person, if the relatives at home cut off the incense because of his own reasons, then he is alive, and he is like a walking corpse, and he is lifeless.
Zhao Gao bowed again: "Thank you for the princess's arrangement, the family is worry-free, and I, Zhao Gao, will no longer be afraid of Lu Buwei." β
"After the princess, remember to pay attention to Prince Cheng, this prince is the most ruthless prince of Qin that the villain has ever seen. Cheng Chan himself is a master, and he not only has Fan Yuzhi, the general of the Qin State, but also a group of dead soldiers in private. β
"The name of the leader of the dead soldier is Zero Yu, and she is a woman, and not many people know her strength. In LΓΌ Buwei's mansion, I only faintly heard that this Ling Yu's subordinates also had three levels of dead soldiers: bronze, silver and bronze, and gold and bronze, and they were all masters. β
Ying Hao and Meng Yi looked at each other, and Ying Hao said to Hu Ji: "This information is very important, Cheng Qian is well hidden, Xianyang has lived for so many years, and this younger brother of ours has actually raised such a group of forces in private." β
Hu Ji plotted: "The key is how many such dead soldiers there are, and what the strength of the zero feathers in them is, we don't know." And the people on the Yongcheng side should not enter Xianyang lightly, and the people who consumed the master and others already knew it. β
"The only one who can be sent is Sister Zhongli, but the eldest brother has already returned, and she is not my person, so she can't be assigned at all. Leave the eldest brother, let the brothers who are scattered in Xianyang listen to the movements of Cheng Chan. Don't ask what you can hear, the key is to protect yourself, our exploration, can't let the adult python find out. β
A subordinate walked over and whispered a few words to Fusheng, who looked at him in surprise.
"What surprised Sister Fusheng?" Orchid asked.
Fusheng smiled bitterly: "Just now, Miss Zhongli took Miss Ruoqin and left Yongcheng. Looking at the direction they walked, it should be the purple bamboo forest where the son lives. They were seriously injured, and Miss Ruoqin couldn't even get out of bed, so she was still taken away by Miss Zhong. β
Hu Ji sighed: "Sister Zhong doesn't believe us, if it's good, she even took Qin Jian with her!" β
Fusheng nodded and said, "That's true, they are very secretive, except for a few people inside our Dazheng Palace, no one else knows." The current situation is that everyone in the world thinks that Qin Jian is in Yongcheng, but Qin Jian has already gone to the Purple Bamboo Forest. Our people here can't move, and they have to cover for Miss Zhong. β
Vientiane Yun smiled bitterly: "Miss Zhong is indeed the best assassin, and assassins should be hidden in the shadows, and we have been put in the light by her. Even if Yongcheng falls out, Qin Jian will not be lost, in her eyes, we are all chess pieces, and she and Gongzi are the ones who play chess. β
Hu Ji rubbed her brows, sighed, and said slowly: "Brother Yinghao, military training will start tomorrow, and the bigger the movement, the better." Let Xianyang be seen, so that everyone in the world can hear, Yongcheng's protection is solid. β
"Making such an illusion shows that the eldest brother is in Yongcheng, and the more momentum we make, the safer the purple bamboo forest will be. No one would have thought that the eldest brother would dare to go out of the city, and that place, except for Brother Wei Mu and Sister Zhongli, even we would hide it. β
Everyone was at a loss, Zhongli was too good at hiding, and the two people who knew the Purple Bamboo Forest had already gone there. Even if Yongcheng was persecuted, he couldn't tell the specific location of Yingzheng. In the middle of a dense forested mountain, it is really difficult to find a few people to come out.
In the western suburbs of Yongcheng, near the valley next to the Wei River, Zhongli carried Ruoqin on his back and walked forward slowly.
Zhongli's actions made Ruoqin speechless, she had a lot to ask, but Zhongli never smiled at people except for Yingzheng. Every time I saw that cold pretty face, Ruoqin wanted to ask, but she held it in her heart, couldn't speak, and was extremely uncomfortable.
Ruoqin has never suffered such an injury since she was a child, and Zhongli has long been accustomed to such injuries. Except for Yingzheng, Zhongli will not talk to anyone, even if Ruoqin is a person from the Shi family, Zhongli will not let down his vigilance.
In this world, it is estimated that except for Lin Ye, she will not let anyone else get close to Yingzheng.
When leaving Yongcheng, Ruoqin also asked a lot, but Zhongli only gave three words: "Purple Bamboo Forest!" β
In the vast mountains, it is impossible to find such a location without someone to lead the way. Ruoqin understands that such a location was specially set up by Zhongli for Yingzheng, and maybe even the name 'Purple Bamboo Forest' was chosen by her at will.
This line is three days, such a long time of climbing mountains and wading through water, Zhongli is injured, and he is still carrying a person, and he has not opened his mouth to say a word of pain.
Ruoqin couldn't help it and asked, "How far is it to reach the 'Purple Bamboo Forest'?" We walked for three days and climbed several mountains, but Weishui was still visible, indicating that we were still spinning in circles. Why is that? β
Zhongli still didn't answer, forcibly poured Ruoqin a few mouthfuls of water, and left with her on his back.
In the evening, as for coming to a narrow shaft, it took a stick of incense to walk through.
After passing the shaft, it is a new world like a paradise inside. The birds chirp on their nests, the valley is densely covered with bamboo forests, and in the deepest part, there is a large waterfall 15 feet high. Next to the waterfall, several bamboo houses, Lin Ye and Wei Mu have already lit bonfires and are grilling fish.
Seeing Zhongli and Ruoqin from a distance, Lin Ye laughed, rushed over, took Ruoqin, and said, "Sister Zhong, why don't you rest for a few more days, come in such a hurry, Gongzi is still practicing swords, and it may take half an hour." β
Seeing Lin Ye, Zhongli was still expressionless, and slowly walked towards the bonfire with a heavy body.
Kneeling cross-legged by the campfire, he grabbed a cooked fish and stuffed it into his mouth.
Zhongli said while eating: "That woman is delicate and frail, and with such a weak body, she doesn't even eat meat." Xiao Ye'er gave her some pasta, and after soaking it, let her eat it by herself, and let her starve to death if she couldn't move her hands. β
Lin Ye has always been obedient to Zhong Li's words, but he just spread a blanket on the ground and let Ruoqin lie on his side and eat and drink by himself.
Wei Mu laughed and said: "Miss Zhong doesn't know, the people of the Shi family only eat vegetarian food, other meats, and don't get contaminated at all." The people in the Shi family, all known as ascetics, eat tree roots, fish, meat and wine without food, and would rather die than eat a bite. β
When he arrived in the Purple Bamboo Forest, Zhongli relaxed his vigilance, and when he heard Wei Mu's words, he just sneered: "It's really pedantic, no wonder the world can't tolerate them." Take us martial arts practitioners as an example, if we don't eat meat, the north is bitter cold, and we don't drink strong alcohol, how can we have a stronger body? β
"Training is important, but it's even more important to take care of yourself. The Taoist health preservation technique does not shy away from wine and meat, and many medicinal wines can strengthen the body. If Gongzi and Brother Wei don't eat meat and don't drink, then it's better for us to escape the world, and Xianyang doesn't have to go back. β
Wei Mu laughed when he heard it, Zhongli said it straightforwardly, but it was also true. They are all people who are rolling in the world, and they and Yingzheng also socialize with many high-level officials, and if they don't drink alcohol, they will be looked down upon. What's more, Gongzi wants to be the king of Qin in the future, and if a king doesn't eat wine and meat, he will laugh at the nations.
Wei Mu said: "This is really a good place, the mountains and forests are dense, and it is impossible to find this place without acquaintances to guide the way." The surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is indeed a good place to live for health and martial arts. β
Zhong Li said: "Along the way, can Brother Wei follow Zhong Li's plan?" β
Wei Mu nodded and said, "In case the master is following, I took my son around for an extra day before slowly entering the Purple Bamboo Forest." β
Zhong Li said: "Brother Wei's light feats are unparalleled in the world, and if you want to follow you, there are few people in the world who can do it." At this point, Zhongli is not as good as you, so I took Ruoqin and went around for three more days. And at the wellway, there are a few organs, if others find them, they will definitely be heard by me. β
"We only have three months, and according to the information obtained by Leng Yue, King Yingzhu of Qin only has three months of life. This change of power is the most dangerous one, and the prince must rush back to Xianyang, worship the ancestral temple, and recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Otherwise, if it drags on, it will be gained by Cheng Chan, and I can only personally take action to assassinate Cheng Chan. β
