Volume 1: Mishui Comes East Chapter 44: Flowing Fire (2)
The predecessor of the "丨"-shaped road was the Qinchidao Wuguan Road built during the Qin Shihuang Emperor. It is about 50 steps wide and has tracks in both directions. It goes north through Jiangling, Xiangyang can reach Chang'an, south through Linxiang, and Qing County can reach Panyu.
After the fall of Qin, the Qin Chi Dao system was completely inherited by our great Han Dynasty and has been used as an official road to this day.
Not only Qin Chidao, but also His Majesty’s major projects include Qin Great Wall, Qin Shidao, Zheng Guoqu, Lingqu, etc.
In order to build these major projects, His Majesty the First Emperor did not hesitate to exploit the people's power, and forced the Qin Dynasty to the brink of collapse.
The delusion of expending the power of a lifetime and seeking blessings for all generations eventually disappeared in the Sand Dune Palace...
"Shaojun," Qu Le spoke, interrupting Qu Xing's nostalgia. "Those two young masters don't seem to be able to repair cars?"
"Hmm?" Qu Xing narrowed his eyes hard, but he could only see a small black shadow in front of him.
"They were squatting there, not seeing any repairs. They just kept looking at us, as if they were waiting..."
"Stop!"
Qu Le's words only made Qu Xing's chrysanthemum tighten. It was about 200 steps away from the accident site. Qu Xing directly stopped and pulled out the bamboo bow in his hand.
"I'll be warned," Qu Xing ordered, "Practice the constellation, pay attention to observation. In all directions, cast whistle and place three pieces in a row!"
Although the "�"-shaped road where Qu Xing and the other three are just private roads built by the Qu family, it is at least 3 steps wide, which is enough for two double horses to drive side by side and still have more to spare.
On the road where two twin horses can drive side by side, two single horses can actually hit each other. Fortunately, the two drivers involved can't repair the car and stick there to block the road.
There will be something wrong with things. This traffic accident is so strange no matter how you look at it.
Once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. After just experiencing the confrontation between Tianyueting, Qu Xing was still scared - he would rather make a big fuss than try to take risks.
"Chee~"
"Chee~"
"Chee~"
Three whistles were shot out one after another, and the whistling sound of the air vortex sounded throughout the sky. After a moment, a short and sharp "叶叶叶" sound was responding - it was the pottery whistle of Yuhuating.
Less than a mile from the intersection of the "Bu" character in front of you, Yuhuating is next to the official road. Qu Xing did not hesitate and decisively shook people.
If it is just an ordinary traffic accident, it will be a big deal. If you go back and invite everyone to have a drink, it is better than losing your life if you lose your life.
"Run, run!" Qu Le reported in real time, "Shaojun, those two masters ran away! Shaojun, do we want to chase after him?"
"Don't worry, wait until the elder brother and the others come over." Qu Xing took the arrow and recognized the strings, "Cultivate Chang, how far is the distance from the carriage to us?"
("123456...")
Qu Le's line of sight swept from near to far, and at the same time, he quickly and silently counted the number of street trees in his heart, and immediately reported: "Shaojun, 205 steps away."
"receive."
Qu Xing's hand in front is like pushing Mount Tai, and his back hand is like holding a tiger's tail. Pull the bowstring back at a constant speed behind his ear. After adjusting the ejection angle, hold his breath and concentrate, let go and let go.
...
"Puff" the young knight spit out the grass in his mouth, "How can I shoot at this distance? Do the barbarian thief really think he knows magic?"
He just thought that the barbarian pulled the bow and wanted to shoot and kill the two companions who escaped and lured the enemy.
"Swish~ Swish~"
Until one and a half breaths, the bamboo arrow cut the curtain with the sound of wind and smashed it on the bow arm of the big yellow crossbow in his hand.
"No, no, no! I've shot the car!" Qu Le shouted excitedly.
Qu Xing raised his head at him. He was lucky today, Qu Xing thought to himself.
"There is a situation!" Qu Le continued to report, "Shaojun, one of the people got out of the car that was shot by an arrow. Another one got out of the car next to him, and a person also came out of the car."
...
Being able to see the details in the car through more than two hundred steps and a layer of curtain in the car, one arrow accurately destroys the powerful crossbow in his hand - the young hero understood that it was meaningless to escape in front of such magic.
He didn't want to die cowardly while running away.
The boy staggered to the side of the road, took the reins from his companion, and took the riding horse lying across the grass.
"Perform the way for the heavens~" the boy stuttered, and his first step was empty.
"Eliminate harm for the people~" He trembled and stepped on his second step, but still failed to step on the stirrup.
"Ask for justice and death!"
With the third foot, the boy finally stepped on his left foot into the ring of the one-sided wooden stirrup.
"It's right now!"
The young man turned over the horse, drew his sword and abandoned his sheath, waved the ring-headed sword in his hand, and roared to the left and right: "Two and three sons, follow me to charge, kill the thief and kill evil spirits!"
...
"Does the thief have a bow and crossbow?" Qu Xing asked.
"No," Qu Le replied affirmatively, "The five thieves all held the reins in their left hand and the ring-headed sword in their right hand."
"Received." Qu Xing immediately decided, "Put it closer and shoot it again, and shoot the first arrow without shooting the horse. If the first arrow is empty, the second arrow will not care about the person and the horse, and what it can shoot is."
"only!"
Qu Kang, Qu Le picked up the arrow and recognized the strings, trying hard to adjust his breathing.
"(Qin) was the way to the world, and the east was Yanqi, the south was Wu and Chu, and the rivers and lakes were above the sea. The road was 50 steps wide, three feet tall and trees were built thickly outside, hidden with golden pine trees, and trees were green pine trees" - "Han Shu: Biography of Jia Zoumei Lu"
