Although Li Zhao didn't want to leave on Qishan Mountain, he hurried back immediately after descending the mountain. His uncle must have had his intentions in giving such instructions. He must have known something, but he didn't tell himself. There must be something related to him.
"Uncle, I know you must be doing it for my own good, but in life, some things cannot be all for yourself." Li Zhao secretly thought, "I don't know what you have hidden from me, but it is definitely not a trivial matter. Since you refuse to tell me , I will find out by myself!"
If he can't see Qingnv, or even know Qingnv, he can learn something by capturing Xiang Gong. He dares to believe that Xiang Gong definitely knows a lot of things, and he also takes action.
Hangu Pass is one of the four major passes of the Qin Dynasty. Before the unification of the six kingdoms, this pass was an important pass. It was the only place for the Qin Dynasty to go out from the east. Likewise, it was also the only choice for entering the hinterland of the Qin Dynasty.
Since the unification, the Qin Dynasty established several roads, including Linjin Road, Binhai Road and Dongfang Road in Shangjun, which directly penetrate Hangu. From Surabaya to Xianyang, the main road that Xiang Gong passed was the Binhai Road. This was the only way. Of course, there are thousands of roads in the world, and there are other ways to go around. But Xiang Gong has a heavy load on his shoulders and will never sacrifice the near for the far. Coastal Road is the right way.
Without stopping, we finally returned to Hangu Pass one day later. After showing our identity for verification, we stopped at the main checkpoint of Hangu Pass.
He believed that with a light chariot and a fast rider, even if Xiang Gong walked two hours ahead, he would never be faster than him. He guessed correctly and overestimated Xiang Gong's speed. It was not until three days later that Xiang Gong and others slowly appeared at Hangu Pass from outside the pass.
Xiang Gong was dressed as a merchant, and the accompanying fleet was full of merchant goods. Of course, although Xiang Gong was famous, very few people had seen him, so no one would doubt that he had done such a spectacular thing.
But what kind of person is Li Zhao? No matter how he dresses up, he can't hide it from his eyesight. The moment Xiang Gong steps into the pass, he recognizes him. After entering the pass, Wu Quan stops him. Duke Xiang did not resist and walked towards a mansion according to Wu Quan's instructions.
"Xiang Gong, we meet again."
Gong Xiang still covered his face, but his distinctive body did not prevent Li Zhao from recognizing him. Of course, Gong Xiang had no intention of hiding it, and he admitted his identity carelessly.
"As expected of Li Zhao, he recognized me at a glance. I must have been waiting for this moment for a long time!" Mr. Xiang took off the coat that was wrapped around him, Zilaisu put it aside, then came to sit on the ground next to Li Zhao.
At this moment, Li Zhao was sitting cross-legged in front of the desk, and the tea in front of him exuded the fragrance.
In early autumn, the weather gradually turned cooler, and taking a few sips of hot tea was a luxury for travelers. Xiang Gong was no exception. He picked up the cup by himself without saying hello, and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Since I have been waiting for a long time, you are here later than expected." Li Zhao glanced at Xiang Gong and responded.
Mr. Xiang waved his hand and showed a smile: "It won't be too late, it won't be too late. We, the merchants, need to escort the goods. It's quite tiring. After careful consideration, naturally we can't leave quickly."
"It's not goods! It's more like stones." Li Zhaoyi pointed out.
Gong Xiang did not hide anything, and joked: "General Li is really a sharp eye. He actually knows that I am doing jade business. I am really well-informed. I admire you."
Li Zhao knew that this man would not admit it, so he changed the subject, pointed at the obstruction on Xiang Gong's face and asked: "You and I have met each other, but we don't know what you look like. Why don't we be honest with each other, so that Zhao Yi can As a landlord."
"That's very good!" Mr. Xiang didn't mean to shirk. He pulled off the covering on his face very simply, revealing a long and pointed face. He looked quite mature, but still had a childish look, which was very contradictory.
But this face gave Li Zhao a sense of familiarity.
Li Zhao nodded, but was not too surprised. Such familiarity was brought about by the faces of the emperor and his mother, indicating that the chat between his uncle and his mother three days ago was not fake. This person was the prince, a person of the same age as himself. .
It is really unexpected that such a person has such wisdom.
