Bao Si nodded obediently, climbed onto the top of the candle dragon again, flew through the air, and entered the underworld.
noon.
Lu Buwei, Zheng Guo and other officials rode a red sacred bird and landed on the border south of the northwest.
Then we went to the military camp where Lian Po was stationed, transferred to the Night Beast, and continued southward to start on-the-spot investigation and survey of the excavation route of the Long River.
A group of people rode the night beast several hundred miles south and came to a large mountain.
Zheng Guo is one of the most outstanding hydraulic engineers in contemporary times.
Climbing high and looking into the distance, I took a small notebook in my hand and drew and marked the direction of the mountains and landmasses while reading.
For a large project like Longhe, which spans thousands of miles, at least dozens, or even hundreds, of surveys are required in advance.
In addition to Zheng Guo, there are also people under the Mo family and Zhang Cang who are responsible for the calculation.
A group of people were busy when they suddenly heard a sharp sound.
Lian Po's elite men who were following him around and were in charge of the escort reacted quickly. One of them drew out his sword from his waist, slashed it out in the air, and cut off an incoming sharp arrow.
The expressions of the rest of the Qin army suddenly became sharp.
The leader of the team waved his hand, and more than a hundred Qin troops immediately moved forward and aimed their arrows in the direction of the arrows.
What is particularly rare is that no one in the entire team of more than a hundred people made a sound, relying solely on the leader's gesture and the tacit understanding of regular training. When encountering the enemy, they draw their swords and their will to fight is invincible.
Lu Buwei, Li Si and others stood with their hands behind their backs, quite proud of the eliteness of the Qin army.
At this time, a team of people galloped out of another nearby mountain peak.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Opposite is a group of cavalry, about seventy or eighty people in number, each of them strong and muscular, with sharp eyes.
Moreover, they all rode uniformly and wore the same clothes. They all wore brown leather armor, carried bows and arrows on their backs, and were well equipped.
"They are people from the Yuezhi Kingdom. They founded their country with Lanshi City as the center. The area is not large, but the combat effectiveness is quite strong."
The Yueshi are a nomadic tribe scattered throughout the country. The main branch is divided into two parts, one of which was the one that was defeated by the Huns on the grassland.
There is another branch thousands of miles west of the Qin Kingdom, south of Kangyi, and centered on Lanshi City.
They were adjacent to the Parthian Empire (the predecessor of Persia) further to the west.
Next to Lu Buwei, the guard leader whispered:
"General Lian Po led us to change our defenses here, mainly to guard against the Yuezhi and Parthian Empire people from Lanshi City."
Before he finished speaking, there were sudden sharp sounds again, and multiple arrows were shot from the opposite side.
The leader of the Qin army was furious: "Let these barbarians see our Qin army's arrows!"
"promise!"
The Qin army immediately responded with crossbows and arrows.
Whoosh whoosh!
The Qin Army's current crossbow arrows, which have been improved many times and engraved with the secret text of their origin, are as fast as lightning and can suddenly shoot the Yuezhi Rangers on the opposite side, knocking them off their feet.
The other party was caught off guard and retracted behind the mountain peak it came out from before. The voice came from the air, speaking the same language as the Kangyi people:
"Who are you, who dare to break into my Yuezhi tribe and shoot my Yuezhi tribe members?"
Following the sound, a strong man in armor walked out from behind the opposite mountain peak, obviously a general of the other side, looking at Lu Buwei and others from a distance.
There was a Qin official next to Lu Buwei and said: "We are from Da Qin."
The Qin official said this, and then squinted at the other party, waiting for him to be impressed by the great Qin's reputation.
Unexpectedly, the Yuezhi general looked contemptuous and spat on the ground: "I have never heard of a small barbarian country like Qin. You know, if I, the Yuezhi, send troops, you will be in trouble soon."
After the general finished speaking, he took out a horn and blew out a deafening low sound that resounded for hundreds of miles.
Lu Buwei sneered and said, "It's my fault. I've never heard of Qin. I want you to listen carefully."
"He's lying." Li Si narrowed his eyes.
Xianyang.
It was already afternoon after Zhao Huaizhong finished handling the matters at hand.
He left the study and walked towards the harem, but saw a strange scene halfway.
An old turtle was carrying Zhao Ji, the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, followed by a big rooster, and on the other side were two fat pandas, accompanied by Zhao Yin and Zhao Ke, marching across Xianyang Palace as majestic as a guard of honor.
Behind them were a group of palace ladies and chamberlains, following in small steps.
Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the turtle's back, was very proud and majestic. When he saw Zhao Huaizhong, he raised his hand from a distance and actually ignored him.
"I've rebelled against you, Zhao Ji, you guys, come here."
