Zhao Huaizhong was attacked by the mountain leader, Xia Si. King Zhuang Xiang was extremely angry when he found out. He sent pursuers, including not only the people of the Ye Yu Mansion led by Deputy Shi Baiyao, but also the sixteen members of the Prime Minister's Mansion under Lu Buwei.
The two parties combined, even within the territory of the Wei Dynasty, they still fought and won successively, and the Yinnu Cult suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, dozens of miles away from the place where the two sides met, Xia Si was stepping on the treetops and moving forward quickly.
Behind her, two figures, one black and one white, were as erratic as the wind, chasing after her.
One of these two people is wearing a silver-white robe, is thin and small, but has long flowing sleeves, and the one wearing a bronze mask is Baiyao, the deputy secretary of Ye Yu Mansion.
"Xia Si, you sneaked into Xianyang secretly to attack my crown prince of the Qin Dynasty. If you surrender and capture me, I will spare your life today."
Walking beside Baiyao Shen is Zhong Changzai, one of the four main guests of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He has a mature face and is wearing Confucian robes.
He spoke, and his voice contained strange power.
Xia Si was immediately affected after hearing this, feeling dizzy and almost stopped.
But at this time, she had already run to a location near a cliff, and underneath was the roaring water of the Yellow River.
She jumped up without hesitation and jumped into the cliff below, her voice echoing in the air: "You will surely be rewarded the next day if you kill hundreds of people from my Yinnu Cult."
Baiyao and Zhongchang chased each other to the cliff, lowering their heads and looking down.
As Xia Si's figure approached the river, she was suddenly enveloped in a burst of light and disappeared out of thin air.
"This witch has mountains and rivers in her hand, and she is chased and escaped again and again. She is really difficult to deal with.
I'm afraid there won't be any results if we continue to pursue him," Zhong Chang said.
He already had the intention of retreating back to Qin and ending this chase.
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Baiyao's voice remained calm: "If the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion feel tired and cannot bear to fight any more, they can withdraw. I have heard about the Six Nether Soul Stealing Technique taught by Yin Nu for a long time.
This time I must go to the Yinnu Cult Headquarters and learn some lessons."
Zhong Changzai was ridiculed by his words and said helplessly: "It's rare that Brother Bai is so interested. We have accepted the order from Prime Minister Lu, so there is no reason to quit halfway."
On the face behind the Baiyao mask, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Let's go back and tidy up a little, then go straight to the gate of the Yinnu Sect."
"Good!" Zhong Changzai echoed.
On the other side, the Yellow River under the moonlight is splashing with waves.
Xia Si was like a mermaid, swaying her waist and hips in the water, breaking out of the water, returning to the shore, and speeding away towards a mountain in the distance.
Half an hour later, the moon was near midday.
Xia Si met the leader of the Yin Nu Cult, Yin Mu Yong Ji, a woman with such great ambition that she could escape gravity. She seemed to be about thirty years old, wearing a light purple robe and wearing embroidered shoes.
"Master, this is the fragment of Feixian that was collected from Shan Kui. Unfortunately, it was blocked by Lu Buwei and a corner of the fragment was taken away." Xia Si said.
Yin Mu took the Feixian Scroll, read it quickly, and said happily:
"Although it is a pity that a corner is missing, the content in it can already complete the main chapter on the exercises that our Yinnu Sect has been missing for many years. You have made a great contribution this time, Xia'er."
"Master, my teaching has suffered heavy losses for this fragment of scroll. Is it worth it?" Xia Si asked.
"It doesn't matter. Once you have studied the contents of the scroll, you will know how precious it is and it is worth all the effort." Yin Mu said in a deep voice.
"The Ye Yufu of the Qin people and the disciples of Lu Buwei, the prime minister, are still chasing after them. How should we deal with it?" Xia Si said.
"From now on, I, the Yinnu Sect, will move to the mountain gate and will not be able to leave for at least two years... When we are born again, we will find the people of Qin to settle today's grudges."
A cold smile appeared on Yin Mu's beautiful face: "But we have closed the mountain gate for two years, so we can't make the people of Qin feel too comfortable.
When you release the news, say that there are master craftsmen who use the method of star calculation to deduce that Qin Chu Zhao Huai will dominate the world, and he will become the great lord of Qin in a few years."
"If this news is released, even if the credibility is not high, once there is an opportunity, the Six Nations will not let Zhao Huaizhong go.
Even the Qin Dynasty would not be stable internally. Didn’t the daughter of the Korean king also give birth to a son for the King of Qin?
How could she sit back and watch Zhao Huaizhong take over the Qin Dynasty!"
"Disciple, I'll make arrangements now." Xia Si responded.
That night, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the gate of the Yinnu Cult hidden in a mountain col was lifted up by a strong black wind, and it rose up from the ground, and the pavilions and pavilions flew away through the sky.
The entire sect moved into the mountains and could not escape from the world.
A few days later, early in the morning.
Xianyang!
After Zhao Huaizhong got up to attend the court meeting, he changed into casual clothes, left Xianyang Palace, and went to Ye Yu's Mansion.
He looked up at the blue sky and chatted with the guards beside him: "At what level can you float in the air?"
Jiang Sidao: "Different types of practice have different levels of floating. Some people will never be able to float. Others can ascend to the sky when they first enter the holy realm. For example, the Taoist practice of guarding objects, oneself stand on it.
Furthermore, in the side door of the left path, the magic of summoning the demonic wind can temporarily float into the air even without entering the holy realm."
The group of people walked on the street for a while, and the number of people gradually increased.
"Do we have any snacks in Xianyang?" Zhao Huaizhong asked with his mouth smacking.
In this era, because Grandpa Yuan had not traveled through time, food was quite scarce, and snacks were even more pitiful, not even candied haws. Zhao Huaizhong felt a little confused in his mouth.
The most common staple food here is "grains", that is, rice, millet, millet, wheat, and beetroot.
There is no technology to grind wheat into flour yet, so it is mostly used to steam into wheat rice, which is a rough batch.
Shui is soybean.
The most common food eaten by Qin people is millet, which is also millet.
Vegetables are mainly "five vegetables", namely sunflower (winter amaranth), hyacinth (bean sprouts and leaves), sage (leaf), leek, and spring onion.
When Liu Qi heard Zhao Huaizhong's inquiry, he racked his brains and said: "There are people selling hot bean sprouts on the street, and there is also a kind of crescent moon dish."
Shu refers to soybeans.
At present, there is no stir-fry technology, so hot squid is a snack similar to fried beans, which is baked with heat.
“This era is so unfriendly to foodies.”
Zhao Huaizhong complained and asked Liu Qi to buy some hot Shui, which was better than nothing.
Liu Qi poured the hot cabbage wrapped in the straw basket onto the clean silk cloth and held it with his hands so that Zhao Huaizhong could eat it.
Just think of it as eating melon seeds.
Zhao Huaizhong was eating beans and shopping when he saw several young ladies on the street in front of him. They were dressed much thinner and more exposed than ordinary women. Their buttocks under their shirts and skirts were swaying rhythmically with their steps.
"Do we have a brothel in Xianyang?"
Liu Qi glanced ahead and spat: "Those are private prostitutes. Women like these are the most shameless."
In the inherent history, the Qin Dynasty's brothel (harmonious) house is very famous, which is what the so-called Qin Lou Chu Pavilion means.
There is also a kind of Kabuki House, which is relatively high-end and belongs to the club level. It is very civilized on the surface, but very wild on the inside. The seafood and other things are very fresh.
As Zhao Huaizhong walked along, he felt quite emotional as he saw all kinds of things in this era.
As we approached Ye Yu Mansion, there was sudden turmoil on the street ahead.
A woman with disheveled hair was beaten with short sticks by a group of officials and was covered in blood.
I saw that the attacker was wearing the official uniform of a Daqin official. Although he was on the street, no one dared to come forward.
Not far away, a man who looked like a small official ran up to the woman panting, pulled out his hair, and slapped her mouth fiercely: "Do you know that nonsense can confuse the public and spread things that are detrimental to the stability of the Qin Dynasty, which is a serious crime.
.”
Snap!
The woman was beaten with blood flowing all over her face, her face was so swollen that her eyes were squeezed into thin slits.
This is an era of low human rights. In feudal society, the more petty officials are, the harsher they are to the people.
"How can I allow you, a mad woman, to act recklessly in the busy city? Drag her back and punish her severely." The clerk scolded with a stern look on his face.
Several subordinates immediately grabbed the woman with short sticks and prepared to drag her away.
The woman's voice was low: "I'm not talking nonsense. My child was lost. I saw her snatched away by a demon with my own eyes..."
Liu Qi followed Zhao Huaizhong from far to near, observing his words and expressions, and seeing that his master was unhappy, he immediately said to the officials: "You guys, come here."
The leading official took a look at Zhao Huaizhong and saw that he was not dressed like ordinary people. His expression changed slightly and he said cautiously: "Who are you? We are doing things impartially."
Liu Qi straightened his back and said the villain's line in a powerful voice: "Bold, what are our identities? How can we allow you to ask, are we looking for death?"
Zhao Huaizhong said: "Go and ask what's going on? Don't attract attention on the street."
Liu Qi agreed and faced the few officials arrogantly.
The official who was pulled aside by Liu Qi to whisper soon became frightened and looked like he was about to pee with fear.
Liu Qi returned soon and reported: "The woman said she lost her child and a demon was causing trouble.
However, there was no proof for what she said. The official who received the report asked people to investigate and confirmed that what she said was untrue. However, she still spread the news everywhere and shouted wildly on the streets all day long.
The petty officials were afraid of causing panic, so they led people to hunt him down in the streets."
"Take that woman back to Ye Yu Mansion and have someone verify what she said."
Zhao Huaizhong ate a soybean, glanced at the woman and said.
Two-quarters of an hour later, he arrived at Ye Yu's Mansion. After entering the main building and taking a seat, he continued to look through various files as usual.
But in the following time, he paid special attention to the case files of missing children, which could be related to demons, and were taken over by Ye Yufu.
Zhao Huaizhong wrote the words "Strike hard and investigate thoroughly" on the bamboo slips of relevant cases.
Near noon, Fan Qingzhou came over to say hello.
Zhao Huaizhong handed him a roll of bamboo slips: "Look at this."
