No one knows what Liu Bai discussed with His Majesty the First Emperor in Zhangtai Palace.
Even Dunruo, who was serving on the side, quickly knelt down when he heard Liu Bai's advice, "No matter how heavy the troops are, we will never end the troubles of barbarians"!
Such military and state affairs were not something he, an old eunuch who wanted to serve His Majesty the First Emperor in Xianyang Palace until his death, could listen to.
His Majesty the First Emperor took pity on his loyalty and allowed him to retreat.
However, a secret decree was sent to the Meng family.
Meng Tian, who was originally responsible for the defense of Xianyang City, became seriously ill and could not see guests. His younger brother Meng Yi wrote a memorial on his behalf.
The city defense and military affairs were put in charge of the Shangqing Mengyi.
A powerful general on the border embarked on the road north without everyone knowing, carrying a secret order in his arms: secretly control the northern border army!
As for Liu Bai, he received an ambiguous permission from His Majesty the First Emperor to give Xu Fu a grand welcome when he entered Xianyang.
Of course, these are all things for later.
...
Liu Bai, who was walking out of Xianyang Palace at this moment, felt that the wind was extremely cool today!
Now that His Majesty is getting older, Liu Bai does not know whether His Majesty the First Emperor at this time, like the history books, really has the idea of seeking immortality.
but...
It's also thanks to Liu Bai's quick thinking.
When His Majesty the First Emperor asked, "What do you think of Xu Fu?" Liu Bai decisively replied: "If the Qin Dynasty is really destroyed by the Xiongnu, and the decree of heaven is true, Xu Fu will naturally be the true immortal master."
Such words are extremely cunning.
Because... the other way around is... if the Qin Dynasty had not been destroyed by the Xiongnu, wouldn't Xu Fu just fart?
And...even if it's true, so what?
Does Your Majesty really want to destroy Qin and seek immortality?
Just those words, the aura exuded by His Majesty the First Emperor made Liu Bai feel uncomfortable.
It was this momentum that declared Xu Fu's death.
Fake, it’s fake! True and false! For the sake of Da Qin, Xu Fu... can only be a liar!
"Damn it, who the hell could write something like "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"? It's so weird. Who wouldn't be confused after reading it? If it weren't for the scientific outlook on development, I would almost believe in such a thing as immortality. .”
After returning to the carriage, Liu Bai cursed secretly.
Regardless of the fact that he entered the palace this time just to 'chat' with His Majesty the First Emperor, he was actually facing His Majesty the First Emperor's doubtful 'request for immortality'.
Fortunately,
In the heart of His Majesty the First Emperor, the Qin Dynasty is more important than immortality.
Liu Bai's plan was not to deal with a person like Xu Fu at all, but... to kill all the thoughts of the so-called immortal master and immortality!
He doesn't want to have something like an alchemy emperor in future generations.
"Mr. Liu, do you need to take a rest first?"
Long Qie was not in a hurry to drive the carriage, but asked with concern.
It can be seen that Mr. Liu is exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Um!"
Liu Bai gave a faint 'hmm'.
Although he is a time traveler, to put it bluntly, he is still a human being!
People get tired!
In just two hours, he faced three major problems: the difficulty of the immortal master, the motto from heaven, and the destruction of the Xiongnu. Each of them, if they were slightly wrong, would be a disaster for the people of China!
And it is a disaster for future generations.
How can he not be tired if he has to consider everything?
To be honest, Liu Bai now really wanted to kill Xu Fu with a knife.
What a bullshit! If you want money, just say so. What nonsense are you talking about? It makes labor and management so tired!
I won’t tear you into pieces! I, Liu Bai, are shouting at the opposite direction!
Liu Bai, who was feeling aggrieved, didn't know at this moment that he had fulfilled both of the 'oaths'.
....
In Dai County in the north, the sky is full of wind and sand.
Zhao Tuo, the leader of the border army, stood on the city wall and looked north at the grassland.
It has become increasingly strange in recent days. On this grassland, the Huns grazing have disappeared, and even some merchants who risked killing the Nine Tribes to go to the Huns to sell grain have no intention of coming back.
Zhao Tuo held a tight grip on this 'dark' trade in principle, but secretly he was still willing to let some out secretly.
On the one hand, there are entangled interests.
On the other hand, you can also find out about the enemy situation of the Huns.
Of course, iron tools are absolutely prohibited, and grain must be maintained within a specific range.
Whenever an iron weapon is found, even a small dagger, Zhao Tuo will directly hang the relevant businessman regardless of the face of his colleagues in the court!
"General, three pavilions have already failed to report!"
A deputy general quickly ran up the city wall and reported in a deep voice.
If the report is not made within the time limit, the centurion of the pavilion will be deprived of his military position, his military merit will be reduced, and he will also be punished under military law, which is extremely severe!
The army of the Great Qin Dynasty has always had strict military laws. In the past, it was very rare for even one pavilion to be unreported, but now there are three pavilions?
Zhao Tuo frowned for a moment: "Each pavilion is separated by half an hour, and three teams of five scouts are sent to the three pavilions to investigate."
"yes!"
The deputy general received the order and was about to leave.
"etc!"
Suddenly, Zhao Tuo stopped the deputy general and asked: "The pavilion led by Heifu in Shanziying set up camp. Is there any feedback?"
The deputy general shook his head: "Heifu's camp is within the three pavilions."
After saying these words, Zhao Tuo clenched his fists instantly.
Heifu's camp is the closest camp to Yanzhi Mountain of the Xiongnu, a real eye-catcher for the Qin army!
Although in Xiongnu folk songs, Yanzhi Mountain is the place where Xiongnu women wash their makeup, from a military perspective, this place is indeed the best outpost for the Huns!
"Quickly go and wait for us."
Zhao Tuo waved his hand.
The lieutenant clasped his fists and quickly retreated.
"Zi la!"
At this moment, the sounds of bowstrings sounded, and the troops at the top of the city shouted: "Enemy!"
This is the reaction speed of Qin Army!
As soon as the enemy is discovered, the arrow is instantly attached to the bowstring!
Zhao Tuo raised his eyes and saw a small black dot in the smoke in the distance, running towards the city wall.
"Only one ride?"
Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand like this.
This is the battle preparation that keeps soldiers with arrows in their bows, waiting for orders at any time.
In a moment, a horse galloped and arrived at the city gate.
Zhao Tuo's pupils suddenly shrank!
I saw this man riding a horse, covered in blood, and his armor was in tatters. Even...if you look closer, you can see the white bones exposed on his shoulders!
It's like a ghost crawling out of the abyss of death!
"end!"
A shout sounded.
Zhao Tuo stopped the soldiers from firing arrows.
Because...this man is wearing Qin army armor.
"Shanziying, Black Pavilion, Han Xin!"
"Please see General Zhao!"
There was a shout of shouting from the city, and the voice was hoarse, like a knife sharpening bones, which made people feel chilly in their hearts!
"Put the hanging basket down!"
Zhao Tuo gave the order.
The man covered in blood was helped up by the soldiers of the Qin army.
When they reached the city wall, Han Xin had no strength anymore and was forced to stand in front of Zhao Tuo by two soldiers.
"My general is Zhao Tuo."
"How about Shanziying Black Pavilion?"
Zhao Tuo had a bad feeling.
"The Xiongnu wolf soldiers of King Zuo Xian are coming to attack, and the army formation exceeds 30,000!"
"A centurion leads a hundred cavalry into battle,"
"Marie your country!"
"The cowardly Han Xin is here to report!"
"I feel guilty for escaping from battle. Please give me death, General!"
