"Your Highness, it's getting late, we should set off." Long Yi glanced at Cao Zheng with a calm gaze, then looked at Qin Heng, and said with cupped hands.
Qin Heng suppressed his thoughts and turned around: "Okay, thank you for the hard work, Commander Long."
Long Yi nodded slightly without saying anything, walked to a black war horse and waited for Qin Heng to ride.
When Qin Heng saw this, he didn't mind. This man had a cold personality. As his father's most trusted servant, he naturally wouldn't have too much contact with these princes.
At this time, Cao Zheng approached Qin Heng and whispered: "Your Highness, Commander Long is a master."
A strange look flashed in Qin Heng's eyes, and he nodded slightly, signaling Zhang Long to carry him into the car.
Qin Heng had a premonition about Long Yi's strength, so he was not surprised.
"Let's go." Long Yi ordered to set off when he saw Qin Heng had boarded the car.
Two hundred Qin Guard cavalry surrounded Qin Heng's Wang Qinggai chariot and drove towards the west gate.
During this trip to Ruyang County, Qin Heng only brought ten clan servants, Cao Zheng, and Qin Cheng's clan servant Ma Zheng, except Ah Fu.
Ruyang County is located to the west of the capital of Qin and is a border county. Going further west is Xijun, which is close to the Jin Dynasty.
According to the distance, it would take them at least seven days to arrive.
In the prime minister's house, Li Yi was sitting in the study, talking quietly with a middle-aged man.
"Prime Minister, King Xiaoxian has left the capital." The middle-aged man lowered his head and reported in a low voice.
"Well, who will lead the team?" Li Yi picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip.
The man glanced at him and said cautiously: "It's Commander Long."
Li Yi's hand froze slightly, then he raised his head with a look of surprise on his face: "Long Yi?"
"yes."
Li Yi put down the tea cup and frowned. He originally just wanted to get to know the person leading the team and see how favored Qin Heng was.
Unexpectedly, it was Long Yi who led the team. He was the person closest to Emperor Qin and had taken over the Dragon Guard since Emperor Qin ascended the throne.
He wondered why Emperor Qin sent Long Yi to accompany Qin Heng as he was just visiting Ruyang County.
This is no longer as simple as pampering!
Li Yi looked at the man and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to find out why King Xiaoxian went to Ruyang County."
"No." The man bowed and responded.
"What has the second prince been doing in Fengjun recently?"
"Returning to the Prime Minister, the second prince has been showing favors at the canal excavation site every day, and he has also been reviewing Fengjun from time to time in the name of supervision. Now all the officials in Fengjun are dissatisfied."
Hearing this, Li Yi shook his head and sneered: "Ignore it, let him investigate if he wants to."
"Prime Minister..." The middle-aged man opened his mouth to speak.
However, Li Yi's eyes drifted away, and the man suddenly did not dare to speak.
"Tell those officials to keep their hands and feet clean. If anyone is found to have problems, don't blame me for being unkind." Li Yi said calmly with deep eyes.
"No." The middle-aged man responded quickly with his heart trembling.
"Go down." Li Yi waved his hand, picked up the book on the table, and continued reading.
The man bowed respectfully and then bowed out.
"Hmph, how can a mad dog survive to the end? If God wants it to die, it will be driven crazy." A cold word came out of Li Yi's mouth slowly.
Ruyang County is located near mountains and rivers and is one of the few fertile lands in the Qin Dynasty. It has jurisdiction over twenty counties.
Ruyang City is majestic and magnificent, with five thousand troops stationed there. The fourth prince Qin Cheng lives in this city.
Outside the east city gate, Qin Cheng stood proudly, looking into the distance.
The county governor Gao Xuan stood behind him humbly along with the city officials.
The people who were watching from a distance looked at this scene curiously, wondering which big shot was coming and actually asked officials who were rarely seen to wait here together.
"Why hasn't Brother Wang arrived yet?" Qin Cheng stretched out his hand to cover his eyebrows and looked into the distance.
"Your Majesty, judging by the distance, we should be here soon." Ma Zheng, who came back early, stood beside him and whispered.
"Your Majesty, there are cavalry coming." Gao Xuan pointed into the distance.
Qin Cheng perked up, narrowed his eyes, and looked carefully.
A team of black-armored cavalry gradually came into view. As the distance got closer, Qin Cheng could clearly see Wang Qinggai's car in the team.
This is Qin Heng and others who set out from Qindu.
After seven days of travel, Qin Heng finally arrived in Ruyang County.
"Your Highness, King Ruyang is waiting at the city gate with the city officials." When Zhang Long saw the scene under the city gate, he couldn't help but kick the horse's belly, walked to the car and whispered a report.
Qin Heng pulled the curtains and looked around. There were many people standing outside the city gate in the distance. The distance was too far and he could only see blurry figures.
"finally reached."
Qin Heng sighed with emotion.
Fortunately, they took the official road all the way, otherwise they would not have reached Ruyang County so quickly.
In Da Qin, there were four official roads leading from the capital of Qin to all directions. Although these official roads were not as good as the cement roads in the previous life, they were still spacious and flat.
The construction of every road takes a lot of labor, money and time.
According to his understanding, before the official road is built, all the soft soil on the road will be cleared away to expose the solid foundation layer inside, and then a layer of stones will be used to pave it, and then gravel will be used to smooth the road.
Not only that, but lime and cooked soil are also added to it at the end.
What is meant by cooked soil is that the soil is stir-fried with fire so that no cordyceps will breed and the road will be strong.
After doing this, stone rollers made of large bluestones are used to roll them back and forth to make the road stronger and smoother.
The completed road should be much higher than the ground on both sides, so that there will be no water accumulation.
In Daqin, those who build roads will have a clear division of labor and keep records. If there is a problem, it will be a serious crime of beheading.
Therefore, in terms of quality, it is completely different from the previous life, with so-called shoddy projects.
Of course, in addition to official channels, there are also some private channels.
Those private roads were built by some clans and merchants, and the overall arrangement was much different from the official roads.
Not only will the road be bumpy, but if it rains, it will be muddy and impossible to walk on.
Qin Heng stretched. As the distance got closer, there were more and more pedestrians on the road.
When the people walking saw this scene, they would stop and step aside, staring at them with awe.
"Uu——"
The entire cavalry stopped suddenly, and Wang Qinggai's chariot also stopped.
Qin Heng pulled the car curtain and looked forward. Qin Cheng could not wait to greet him with his people.
"Brother Wang."
Qin Cheng had already shouted before he arrived.
Seeing Qin Cheng walking towards him with long strides, Qin Heng felt warm in his heart and opened his mouth to respond: "Brother Wang."
Qin Cheng walked to the car with an excited expression: "I've finally waited for you."
"Brother Wang, I finally see you." Qin Heng was also excited, with a happy smile on his face.
With constant contact, he found that this fourth emperor brother was a good person. This time, he had to worry a lot about the Holy Gu matter, and even lost two sect attendants because of it. You must know that every one of them Zongshi is very precious to the prince.
