The two looked at each other, and after pushing open the door, the iron eagle swordsman from the brigade rushed in.
The mountain temple is not big, and I don't know which wild god is enshrined. It looks like it has been around for decades.
The hall was empty, and there were traces of burning firewood everywhere.
Most of the merchants who came and went used this place as a resting place, and there were some shriveled pancakes, fruits and other items on the altar, presumably they left it as a thank you.
"Commander, we searched around and found signs of a depression in the ground behind. After knocking, it was empty."
About half an hour later, Iron Eagle Swordsman came back to report.
"There must be an agency here."
Zhao Chong ordered: "Keep looking! If it doesn't work, just dig three feet and dig out the tunnel."
Chen Qing looked up at the high clay statue, and pointed at it: "Go and look for it on the altar, the mechanism is probably hidden nearby."
"promise."
Iron Eagle Swordsman glanced at Zhao Chong, and after the other party nodded, he immediately bowed and agreed.
Not long after, there was a soft click from behind the statue.
hum-
There was a low grinding sound, and a stone slab on the left side of the altar was dented and moved slowly to the side.
"Commander, I found a secret passage!"
"I know, bring the torch!"
Zhao Chong was refreshed, and walked to the side to have a closer look.
In the dark hole, you can see the sloping downward steps leading to the oblique rear of the mountain temple.
"These thieves hide really deep!"
"Chen Shaofu, you stay up there, I'll take people down."
Zhao Chong said kindly.
"No, it's probably empty inside."
Chen Qing saw that the mountain temple did not look like someone had lived there for a long time, so he took out his musket and walked down.
"Follow up."
The winter night was extremely cold, but this dark underground passage made them feel the long-lost warmth after running around in the middle of the night.
Lamps were erected at intervals on the wall, Chen Qing stopped suddenly, and dipped some lamp oil from inside with his hand.
"Chen Shaofu, what's wrong with this lamp oil?"
Zhao Chong asked with a serious face.
"It's made from oil in a fierce fire."
"Under the light of the lamp oil I invented, they discussed how to assassinate me. This is really..."
Chen Qing was in a complicated mood and smiled bitterly.
Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and he even gave him a black humor.
"Oh, it shouldn't be long."
Zhao Chong didn't know what to say, he turned his head away while muttering.
"Go ahead."
It is estimated that after passing through a distance of more than 20 meters, it is already far away from the mountain temple.
The surrounding mud walls have also become uneven stone corridors.
"it's here."
After a few steps forward, his vision suddenly opened up.
A twenty-square-meter room that looked like a conference room appeared at the end of the passage.
Chen Qing's gaze was subconsciously attracted by the stone pier.
"one two Three……"
Ten people!
Everyone wants to put him to death!
Standing by the side, Zhao Chong sighed, "The Xie family is one of them, and the Cheng family is one of them. In addition to the ones captured today, it is estimated that most of them have been captured."
"I will investigate and deal with the rest, and I will never let them go!"
Chen Qing shook his head slightly.
The Xie family should be one of them, Cheng Ji...
He always had a feeling that the ancestors of the Cheng family were not considered prominent, and perhaps they could only be considered a small group among them.
That's more than half!
"Old Zhao, please."
"If this matter is not killed, it will never be banned."
Having said that, Chen Qing sighed deeply.
After the death of the first emperor, all the world turned against him.
The root of the disaster has long been buried deep, and it is not a day's cold to freeze three feet.
After he jumped back to Daqin's camp, there were quite a lot of opponents!
"After you search, if nothing is found, I'll send some gunpowder over to blow up this ruined temple!"
Chen Qing had a fierce look on his face.
"This……"
Zhao Chong couldn't help hesitating.
Anyway, it is a temple dedicated to the mountain god, even if it is used as a stronghold by thieves, it has nothing to do with the god itself.
"Look at what!"
"Ghosts and gods should also be afraid of me!"
Chen Qing said viciously.
Chapter 219
At five o'clock, Ying Zheng was awakened by the waiter, washed up and went to the imperial study.
Zhao Chong had been waiting here for a long time. Although his expression was exhausted, he meticulously sorted out the information in the booklet containing the cipher text, and prepared to report to the First Emperor later.
After hearing footsteps, he immediately perked up.
"See Your Majesty."
"Exemption."
Ying Zheng sat behind the desk and took over the fragrant ginseng tea served by the waiter.
He took a sip before realizing that Zhao Chong was listless and looked exhausted.
"Give Commander Zhao a cup of tea."
"Your Majesty, how dare a villain."
Zhao Chong bowed and replied.
Ying Zheng waved impatiently: "Come and sit down and talk."
"promise."
Zhao Chong didn't dare to refuse again, so he knelt and sat opposite the desk in a serious manner.
The steaming hot tea was served, and the curling water vapor rose up.
Zhao Chong's sour eyes finally felt better.
He opened the pamphlet and described the details of the case in detail, as well as the background of the remnants of the six countries involved.
Ying Zheng's face was very gloomy, and he wanted to be angry, but found that he was used to it.
In the battle between Qin and the Six Kingdoms, the two sides had already forged a deep blood feud.
Unless their generation is all old, it may be possible to slowly fade over time.
clap clap.
The pages were turned over one by one.
The first half is the details of the case, and the latter is the recorded words and deeds of Chen Qing.
Lu met a demon fox and was kicked away by him.
I ran into nothing in the mountain temple, and was furious for a while, trying to blow up the temple.
Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing after listening.
Zhao Chong glanced carefully, seeing that Emperor Shi Huang didn't mean to blame him, so he was relieved.
"Chen Qing glared at the humble official and said: 'Ghosts and gods should also be afraid of me!'"
"In front of the statue of the god, he yelled again: "I think you are the end of your bird god!There is no distinction between loyalty and villainy, hiding filth, I will fix you in a few days! "
Ying Zheng's smile grew brighter.
Because of Hu Hai's death before, he still had some resentment towards Chen Qing, but now he has relieved a lot.
The more the enemy wants to get rid of them quickly, the more he should pay attention to them.
Before Chen Qing knew it, he had become the pillar of the Qin Dynasty.
Should be heavily rewarded!
"Chen Qing is right."
"The mountain god is enshrined by the people of Daqin, so he should protect the safety of one side."
"Now he is negligent and slack in his duties, covering up rebels, how is it different from the prostitution in a demon temple?"
"Even if he doesn't do it, the widow will smash it."
"Let Chen Qing handle this matter."
Zhao Chong was slightly surprised by Ying Zheng's words of support.
There is indeed a difference between people.
For others to do this kind of thing, at least they should be labeled as "disrespecting ghosts and gods".
Chen Qing went to do it, but it seemed as if it should be done.
"You said the Cheng family was involved with Li Si?"
Ying Zheng spoke suddenly.
"It is so."
"Li Xiang served Xun Qing, and the Cheng family is a branch of the Xun family. It was only recognized by the Xun family after they made a fortune in ironware business in Bashu."
"Afterwards, with the help of the friendship between the teacher and the school, I got in touch with Li Xiang."
Zhao Chong explained the context one by one.
"The next step, Chen Qing is probably going to attack Li Si."
"The widow originally thought that this day would not come so early."
Ying Zheng sighed: "This is the general trend of the world, and the widows are a little confused."
Zhao Chong's eyes widened in astonishment.
Chen Qing... made a move on Li Si?
Anyone in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty who heard the news would probably be the same as him.
