Matt was hiding in the dark Xianyang City. In the process, he was puzzled.
I heard that there is a curfew in Xianyang City, but why are homeless people everywhere on the streets?
It would be fine if the homeless people huddled in a corner and slept, but how dare they light a bonfire to warm themselves up?
However, although Matt was confused, he didn't think much about it. After all, escaping from prison was too exciting. Now he was only thinking about how to get out of this hellish place. As for anything else, he couldn't care about anything else.
After walking around Xianyang City, Matt finally arrived at a house.
He didn't want to come to this place, but he was forced to do so. There were people everywhere, and he even encountered a few patrols, and finally forced him to the side of the house.
Matt cowered in the corner. Now he had completely lost his direction and had no idea where the city gate was.
He could only pray that he could touch the city wall before dawn, and then find the city gate along the wall.
Da Qin's night was too dangerous, and it was too difficult to do something secretly.
Matt was sighing when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, followed by many people lighting torches.
These people are now looking for people, searching door to door.
Matt's heart tightened: It's over, they found out that I had escaped.
Matt looked around. If he ran away at this time, there could only be one result: getting caught.
He thought about it, then he climbed up the courtyard wall.
This courtyard wall is very high, and the people living inside must be rich or noble. Matt would not be able to climb such a high courtyard wall. But today, at the critical moment of life and death, his potential exploded and he went up with all his strength.
After Matt entered the house, he lay down in the darkness and did not dare to move.
Fortunately, there don't seem to be any dogs here.
Matt put his ear against the wall, listening to the sounds outside, and planned to escape as soon as the patrol outside left.
However, there were always footsteps outside, and the patrol seemed to have identified this place, walking back and forth non-stop.
Suddenly, Matt heard footsteps in the yard. It seems like someone has come in.
He was taken aback and lowered his body even more, not daring to show his head.
Suddenly, Matt heard someone say: "Thank you for coming all the way."
These words are not in Qin language, but in Sanskrit.
Matt felt excited.
In this unfamiliar place, he didn't understand what the people around him were saying. Now that I finally hear the familiar language, you can imagine how happy I am.
It's like a drowning man grabbing a straw.
He walked over involuntarily, wanting to hear a few more words.
Matt hid under the shadow of the tree and took a look inside a spacious room.
Looking at it like this, I was immediately surprised.
He saw Li Shui.
Matt knew Li Shui, and he had just been interrogated by him two days ago.
Although Matt didn't know what position Li Shui held in Daqin, he knew that Li Shui was of high rank and was definitely a top noble.
As for the people around Li Shui, Matt was even more surprised because he was from the Peacock Country.
Matt once went on a mission to the Peacock Kingdom, so he knew the people of the Peacock Kingdom.
Regardless of his skin color, appearance, clothing, or authentic Sanskrit, that person is definitely from the Peacock Kingdom.
Matt became increasingly uneasy: Why did people from the Peacock Kingdom appear in Daqin? And he met the nobles of Da Qin.
Li Shui was talking to people from the Peacock Kingdom, and the merchant next to him was helping to translate.
Matt strained his ears to listen.
The more I heard this, the more surprised I became.
It turns out that this person from the Peacock Kingdom is an envoy. He came specifically as an envoy to Da Qin.
According to the content of their conversation, the Peacock Kingdom and Great Qin had secretly united together.
It should be after Matt's mission to the Peacock Kingdom that the Peacock Kingdom revealed the situation of the Huns to Great Qin.
Then, the Peacock Kingdom and Da Qin made an appointment to attack the Xiongnu Kingdom together.
Matt suddenly gasped.
If I hadn't heard these conversations, and had made an appointment with the Peacock Kingdom to attack the Qin Dynasty together, but halfway through, the Peacock Kingdom suddenly switched sides, wouldn't everything be over?
Matt thought secretly: "This must be the gods blessing my king."
At this time, two servants came over carrying a large bucket.
Matt quickly ducked to the side and hid.
This bucket was a bit smelly, and Matt thought without any knowledge: Could this be the legendary toilet bucket?
Half an hour later, the dinner ended. Li Shui and the Peacock Kingdom envoy walked outside.
As a result, as soon as they walked out of the house, Li Shui looked over and frowned.
Matt panicked: What does this mean? Have I been discovered?
He heard Li Shui say something, and the servant next to him responded repeatedly, seemingly in a panic.
At this time, the envoy from the Peacock Kingdom curiously asked the merchant: "What happened?"
The merchant smiled slightly and said to the envoy from the Peacock Kingdom: "The banished immortal asked the servant why the toilet was placed here. The stench is so strong that it makes the distinguished guests laugh."
"The servant said that now that the city gate is closed, there is no time to transport it out, so we have to put it here first. When the city gate opens at dawn, we will send it out of the city immediately."
The Peacock Kingdom envoy smiled: "I see. But in my opinion, you Qin people are too troublesome. Why don't you learn from us and dig a canal, connect it to the sacred Ganges, and then drain it directly into it."
The businessman was dumbfounded: "I don't know much about the Peacock Kingdom, but I have vaguely heard that the Ganges is the first holy river, the purest and most pure, and can wash away people's sins. How...how..."
The peacock messenger smiled slightly and said proudly: "Because the Ganges is the first holy river, we don't have to worry about these dirty things. No matter how serious the sin is, people can be reborn by bathing in the Ganges. No matter how dirty the things are, , you will become extremely clean when you enter the holy river."
The businessman grinned, laughed dryly and said, "So...that's it. It sounds quite reasonable."
Li Shui smiled at the Peacock Kingdom envoy and left with him.
In fact, the so-called envoys from the Peacock Kingdom are just monks from Jialan Temple. Previously, I came to Daqin with Wang Ben and Na Luo.
Jialan Temple is the largest temple in the northern part of the Peacock Kingdom. The people it receives are either rich or noble. Even the Mauryan King has seen it countless times.
So the monk pretended to be a messenger, and his manner, manner, and actions were all the same.
The monk and Li Shui left, but actually they didn't go very far. They climbed up the ladder and climbed to the nearby roof.
Li Xin was lying there, looking at Matt with binoculars.
Li Shui smiled and asked, "How's it going?"
Li Xin said: "He's still lying there. It's just too dark to see clearly. Just light a lamp for him."
Li Shui also took out a telescope, looked at Matt, and said quietly: "You can't light the lamp, it will be bad if you scare the snake."
Matt didn't know he was being watched. He looked at the toilet, deep in thought.
From the conversation just now, he knew that these toilet buckets would be delivered outside the city tomorrow morning. Does that mean... if you sit on these commodes, you can...
Matt's mind suddenly became more alive.
But...this toilet smells too bad.
Matt didn't want to go in. But now he obviously has no choice but to die or stink. Of course I would choose the second option.
Fortunately... Matt's life was not very clean when he was in the West, and his acceptance level was relatively high.
I remember when I was in my hometown, everyone always dumped their filth directly on the street.
As a result, the stench filled the streets and everyone covered their noses.
Now smelling the smell of the toilet, Matt suddenly felt like he was back in his hometown.
Hey, think of the good in everything.
So, Matt huddled next to the toilet, just waiting to get in when it was almost dawn.
Li Xin lay on the roof and said to Li Shui, "Do you want to wait any longer? Otherwise, if we make more noise, we'll scare him in."
Li Shui said helplessly: "Brother Li, this is your fault. Now that he is scared in, doesn't he have to wait until dawn before he can leave the city? Isn't it too cruel to let people stay in a cold toilet all night? "
Li Xin: "..."
He was a little confused now whether Li Shui was being sarcastic or deliberately pretending to be stupid.
Li Xin sighed, took a sip of wine, and continued to pay attention to Matt.
To be honest, Matt was motionless there and a little bored. But Li Xin was still very excited.
After all... I have never experienced anything like this.
After finally waiting until daybreak, Matt finally opened the lid of the toilet and hid inside.
Li Shui waved his hand, and a servant came over, lifted the heavy toilet bucket, and put it on the car.
At the same time, Xianyang City also came to life from the darkness, and busy people appeared on the streets.
And the newsboy was shouting along the street: "The latest news, the latest news. The Huns' thief Matt has hidden in the toilet. He is expected to arrive at the city gate in half an hour. The latest news, the latest news..."
This newspaper was printed overnight last night.
The people of Xianyang were very interested in this, bought newspapers one after another, and then took to the streets to watch Matt leave the city.
There was a photo in the newspaper, showing the toilet bowl.
So...many people put down their work on this day.
It's here, it's finally here.
A servant came driving a carriage.
There was a commode on the carriage, and a sign beside the commode that read? Detailed work here.
The gossip heart of the people in Xianyang was greatly satisfied, and everyone was in high spirits.
They pointed to the toilet and talked casually.
Anyway...this Matt doesn't understand Qin language anyway, so he can just say whatever he wants.
As the carriage passed through the city gate, there were fewer and fewer people around.
Then the coachman muttered: "Some want to make it convenient."
So he went into the woods.
Matt was always looking for an opportunity, and from time to time he would open the toilet a crack and look outside.
Now I found a good opportunity and immediately climbed out impatiently.
He first found a wilderness with lush vegetation, hid there for a while, and made sure the surroundings were safe. Then he looked at the sun, identified the west, and hurriedly walked there.
Matt originally wanted to wash himself in the river, but he felt that after he was washed, his original skin and appearance would be exposed, which would be more dangerous.
So he rolled on the ground a few times and rubbed it with sand. He became dirty and looked a bit like a beggar. In this way, he was not so conspicuous.
Matt has had a hard time along the way.
Sometimes he begs and sometimes he steals.
In fact, Matt's every move is under Li Shui's control.
Someone was quietly following Matt, observing him.
These people wrote down the news about Matt's behavior and whereabouts, and quickly handed it over to Chun Yujia, who then wrote a script and published it in the newspaper.
These newspapers were sold to various counties by fast horses.
Some people were just watching the fun, while others were counting on the newspapers when Matt would pass by their hometown.
When Matt is about to arrive, the local mayor and pavilion chief will tell Xiaoyu's residents to turn a blind eye or close one eye and never send Matt to the government.
How strict is Da Qin's inheritance verification? How perfect is the Qin Dynasty's joint sitting system?
Any outsider who walked the streets and begged like Matt would have been caught and sent to the government long ago.
The fact that Matt was able to get here safely was entirely due to the cooperation of the people of Great Qin.
These people read the newspapers in advance and acted out a play with him.
More than ten days have passed, and Matt is already far away from the Central Plains.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Matt suddenly felt that Da Qin was not as scary as he thought.
I heard the Huns mention it before. It is said that the management of Da Qin is very cruel. As long as outsiders enter Da Qin, they will be found out within three days.
Matt can now proudly say: I have used my own experience to prove that this is not the case.
Da Qin looks strict on the outside, but is actually quite relaxed.
With this green light all the way, Matt passed through the Qin Dynasty, passed through the Western Regions, and finally returned to the Xiongnu Kingdom.
After returning to the Huns, the tense nerves completely relaxed.
Matt took a shower, ate, changed clothes, and then went to meet the second king.
The two kings of the Xiongnu Kingdom were Sha Tilie and Mao Dunye.
After Matt saw them, he burst into tears and felt a sense of joy that a little separation was better than a wedding.
Shatilie asked Matt: "How did this trip go smoothly?"
Matt said: "It was going smoothly at first, but then something went wrong. My king, that Peacock countryman is very ambitious. On the surface, he was on good terms with me, but who knew that he secretly revealed my movements to the Qin people, causing me to be raped by the Qin people? Caught."
"However, it was a blessing in disguise. After I was caught, I discovered their secret."
Later, Matt told what he saw in Xianyang City.
After hearing this, Shatilie became furious and shouted: "The Peacock Kingdom is really bullying others. Could it be that the Xiongnu Kingdom is not strong enough when it was first established, so it is unwilling to join forces with us?"
Mao Dun was much calmer. He thought about it and suddenly smiled: "If the Peacock Kingdom doesn't want to unite with us, it doesn't matter. We can just use the trick."
Shatilie asked: "How to use the trick?"
Mao Dun said: "The Xiongnu Kingdom is indeed a bit small, and there are strong enemies in the west. The journey back to Xianyang City from here is too long. Why don't we... attack the Peacock Kingdom?"
"Anyway, we are in an alliance with the Maurya Kingdom in name. If we send troops to the Maurya Kingdom, they will not doubt it. Then, before we can wait for the Maurya Kingdom and the Qin people to cooperate internally and externally, we preemptively destroy the Maurya Kingdom and occupy their territory. With the people, wouldn’t that be great?”
Shatilie's eyes lit up: "Wonderful."
