In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 142 Stormy Seas

Chang'an Palace.

Cheng Yu was dressed in hunting attire, with gauntlets on his hands, and was training an eagle in the hunting garden.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

When Mr. Changping walked into the squirrel, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when the eagle standing on the wooden pile saw it approaching, it suddenly spread its wings, enough to two meters, and flew down on the gauntlet of the squirrel. above.

Mr. Changping avoided it subconsciously, and after a closer look, he found that this eagle was a bit unusual.

Her feathers are shiny, her beak is thick and long, her body is gray, and her eyes are full of light. Although she has been tamed, her ferocious look has not faded.

"What kind of eagle is this, why is it so big?"

Cheng Yu liked it very much. With a wave of his hand, he saw it spread its wings and suddenly flew up, soaring in the sky.

"Recently, a caravan came to Xianyang, and the goods came from Donghu. This eagle was brought by them, and it is called Haidongqing."

"Such a handsome eagle is rare!"

Mr. Changping sighed, even though he is not good at hunting, he still knows the extraordinary of this eagle.

"I heard from the people in the caravan that in order to capture this sea dongqing, many people from the Donghu tribe who traded with them died. I spent three thousand gold to buy it."

Three thousand gold is not a small amount.

It's just that Cheng Yu didn't care, looked at the sky, and lowered his head again.

"The people in the caravan said that although this eagle is a cub, it has a ferocious nature. It would take at least two months for a master falconer to tame it, but it only took me half a month."

Mr. Changping knew it well, no wonder he couldn't see Cheng Yu these days, it turned out that he was busy with this matter.

Cheng Yu is brave and strong, and he has been like this since he was a child.For field hunting, he also has an extraordinary hobby.

Lord Changping cupped his hands slightly and said.

"Your Highness, Empress Dowager Xia's condition is getting worse now, why are you still busy with this matter?"

Cheng Yu glanced at it, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Strong, strong, and fierce, and they are minions. No matter how chaotic the world is, the truth remains the same. Humans and eagles are also the same. Does Mr. Changping think so?"

"Good regards, Your Highness."

If Empress Dowager Xia died of illness, the power of her relatives in Qin State would have nothing to rely on, and the decline of power is also expected.But these people, like some clans in Qin, are staunch supporters of Cheng Yu.

Qin has a system of [-]th-class military merit titles, and the feudal monarch is just a supplement to this system.

However, Lord Chang'an is different. Although Lord Chang'an and Lord Changping are both lords of the Qin State, Chang'an, his jurisdiction, is rich and prosperous. It is only a river away from Xianyang, the capital of the king, and there are many people and private soldiers under his command.

In Xianyang, there are also a large number of courtiers and military generals supporting him.

For a long time, the situation in Xianyang has been complicated. The forces of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji and the forces of Lord Chang'an and Queen Mother Xia have been in the same situation, fighting openly and secretly.

"Grandma is seriously ill. I should go to visit her, but now is not the time."

"People in Xianyang are panicking now, if His Highness doesn't go back to stabilize people's hearts, he might be taken advantage of by Lu Buwei."

Mr. Changping didn't understand, what's more important than this for Cheng Yu.

At that time, Lu Buwei's sudden rise broke the balance of power within the Qin State, and he did not know how much hatred he provoked.

Lord Changping did not deal with Lu Buwei, and he was very close to Cheng Yu, but he was not attached to him, and he was regarded as an ally.

Cheng Yu stretched out his arms, and Mr. Changping saw Cheng Yu's two attendants carrying a longbow.

"My cousin only saw that my grandmother was seriously ill, and that Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji were bound to make trouble. But I didn't see that the relationship between them is not monolithic anymore. Zhao Ji went to Yong, there is a lot to be said for it!"

Cheng Yu stretched out his long bow, stretched his arms to the full, and the string was like a full moon.As soon as an arrow was shot, Mr. Changping only heard the cry of an eagle. The flying Haidongqing was killed by an arrow by Cheng Hu, and fell from the sky in an instant.

Mr. Changping was surprised by Cheng Yu's bravery, but also very surprised.

"What are you doing, Your Highness?"

"Five days ago, when I tamed this sea dongqing, I was very satisfied. But before I was happy for a long time, I thought of a problem and couldn't be happy anymore."

Cheng Yu threw the longbow in his hand, and the two attendants took it, and took a few steps back before barely stopping the momentum.

"I tamed it, and all the attendants and ministers praised it for its bravery. Of course, this is indeed superior."

Cheng Yu smiled, although he was boasting, but there was no trace of arrogance on his face.

"But the person who can bring this sea dongqing in front of me and make me tame him, isn't he better at it?"

Cheng Yu and Lord Changping walked on the trail in the hunting garden, followed by a large group of attendants.

"Thinking of this, when I look at this eagle again, the more I look at it, the less I like it in the past."

"Businessmen are chasing profits, and even thousands of mountains and rivers will come here, so why worry too much, Your Highness?"

"That's true, but I have checked the classics and pictures. The place where Donghu lives is a world of ice and snow. It is thousands of miles away? Such a long distance can bring the goods back to Xianyang safely. This ability should not be underestimated."

Having said that, Mr. Chang'an stopped in his tracks and looked at Mr. Changping.

"So, I sent ten of my most capable subordinates to investigate secretly, trying to track down this caravan, but my cousin knows the result?"

"No one came back. Three days ago, the last news came back about their situation in the place of Shang Yu. After that, they disappeared without a trace."

Business in?

Hearing this place name, Mr. Changping felt strange, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Highness thinks there is something wrong with this caravan, so go to Pinghuai Ling to check it out and you will know?"

"My lord sent someone to check, the caravan was named as a time-honored store in Xianyang City, and they gave [-]% commission, and all the procedures were complete and correct, there was no problem at all, but they couldn't find out who was behind it? "

"This"

Mr. Changping knows very well that in Qin State, there are not many people who can do this!Mr. Changping suddenly remembered the stern warning given by the Empress Dowager Huayang not long ago.

At this moment, a fast horse came galloping in the distance, and before approaching, the man on the horse got off the horse and ran over stumblingly.

"The next official kowtows to the king!"

Those who came were timid and cowering, unable to control themselves.

"My lord, it doesn't have to be like this?"

Lord Chang'an's words made the visitors even more afraid to raise their heads.

"My lord summoned the county lord to come here, but I just wanted to ask about one thing. A few days ago, some of my subordinates passed by the county lord's jurisdiction, but they disappeared. I don't know what happened?"

"This officer really doesn't know."

Cheng Yu smiled, pulled out his saber, and placed it lightly on his shoulder, making the other party tremble with fright.

"The county lord is the head of a county, how could he not know?"

"The lower official really doesn't know!"

Seeing this, Cheng Yu put away his sword, squatted down, and patted the dust on the county magistrate's shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask about the jurisdiction of the county lord, is there anything unusual recently?"

"There is nothing unusual. A few days ago, members of the Yin Yang family were chasing a villain. A few days ago, Zhao Tingzhang asked for leave and has not returned yet. A few days ago, how many people?"

The county magistrate really couldn't figure out that the area under his jurisdiction was calm and peaceful, so he could only report some trivial things that happened recently.

"Tingzhang Zhao?"

"Ah! It is a noble son from Xianyang, Zhao Dabao."

The county magistrate usually heard that all the gangsters and guards called him the number one evil arrester in Guanzhong, and he remembered that Zhao Ting was named Dabao.

The word spread and the shouting was familiar. His name was recorded in the file. The county magistrate was frightened for a while, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he didn't dare to say more.

Zhao Shuang!

There was no extra expression on Cheng Yu's face, but Mr. Chang Ping suddenly remembered the name, but a turbulent sea was set off in his heart.
