[Wei Nie] Vertical and horizontal killing

Zhao Gao waited for a while, let Li Si think about it slowly, and then continued slowly: "After that, His Majesty's trust in Luo Wang is not as good as before."

Li Si has recovered his demeanor, and he flicked his robe: "You and I are nothing more than the courtiers of His Majesty the Emperor. Always accompanying the emperor is the art of mastering the balance between life and death. You and I just need to do our part That's enough."

Zhao Gao turned his head and looked to the north: "I remember when my lord came to Xianyang from Sanghai, it was when Lu Xiang was Zhong's father." He noticed that Li Si's breathing paused, and his smile became more real : "I heard that my lord wanted Lu Xiangmao to recommend himself at that time? It was only later that my lord lobbied the six countries in the Kanto region, and the famous "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" was passed down to the world."

Li Si didn't speak anymore. He didn't like people mentioning these past events. This time it reminded him of the first half of his life when he depended on others.This is not to say that he is not a nostalgic person, on the contrary, the past is always haunting his heart.

Zhao Gao continued: "Who would have known that the former Prime Minister Lu, who had made great contributions, would have moved his family to Shu because of a trivial matter, and it was not enough to end up like that in the end."

Li Si said slowly: "It turns out that the Changxinhou Rebellion is nothing more than a trivial matter in the eyes of the CRRC Commander."

Zhao Gao's expression finally changed: "I made a slip of the tongue."

Li Si looked at the Lishan mountain range shrouded in smog in the distance, and saw the rolling mountains stretching to endless places.It is said that in ancient times, Nu Wa was in Lishan Mountain when she quarried stones to mend the sky; 500 years ago, King Zhou You played with the princes there.Years go by, dynasties change, and mountains and rivers are forever silent.Some people breathe the wind and thunder for a while, the sun and the moon are shining brightly, and the world is running around while admiring Yan.Times change and dynasties change, and the results of these people may indeed not be good.

Li Si rubbed the ring on his thumb, and said slowly: "Everything is in the interests of the empire. In any case, Qin is the foundation of you and me."

Zhao Gao bowed to Li Si and made a full salute: "I have been taught."

Li Si didn't look at Zhao Gao, turned around and walked down the stairs.

Zhao Gao stood where he was, and said in a very low voice: "The empire cannot withstand turmoil. I believe that my lord is the same as I, all of whom are dedicated to the eternal stability of the Great Qin Dynasty."

……

East County.

The news that Gao Jianli and Big Hammer were detained by Tian Hu has been confirmed.Because of the entry of the Mo family, Zongheng and Zongheng had to face up to the farmer's situation that they had avoided talking about before.

"Since it is an underwater undercurrent, although there is no trace to find, there is always a place to go. As long as you are in the undercurrent, you may be able to find your way."

"Oh? It seems that you have finally admitted that those concerns before are all nonsense, Senior Brother."

"Xiao Zhuang, I just don't want us to be led away. Whether it's the Zhu family or Tian Hu, we shouldn't easily reveal our position."

"Sometimes the more chaotic the situation, the better it may be for us."

"This time we split up."

Wei Zhuang looked at Gai Nie after hearing the words: "Because of what happened last night?"

Gai Nie avoided Wei Zhuang's eyes and looked at the fire that had just been extinguished: "The farmer has three urgent concerns: one is the whereabouts of the Yinghuo Stone on the bright side; the other is the safety of the high commander; The identity of the salamander."

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly: "Compared to the secrets of the various schools of thought and Canglong Qisu, these are insignificant."

Ge Nie: "There is also the true purpose of the Shadow Guard hidden under these appearances."

Wei Zhuang pulled out the shark's teeth, his eyes showed a little understanding: "It seems that you don't intend to accept opinions."

Gai Nie looked at him: "Xiao Zhuang, the place where Commander Gao is detained must be in Lieshan Hall. Tian Meng's daughter has a bigger picture in mind, and unless it is absolutely necessary, you—don't kill people lightly."

Although it is entering the game, it does not necessarily have to be in chaos.

Wei Zhuang hated hearing Gai Nie say these things the most, he had already walked out of the cave without looking back: "There is no need for you to tell me what to do."

Gai Nie stayed in the cave for a day until he was sure that his injuries were all right, then he took the wooden sword and walked deep into the forest.

There are scars from swords on the thick and sunny side of the trees in the forest, and there are traces of stones piled up when Gai Nie pushed aside the weeds and weeds at the root of the trees.This is very likely to be the contact information left by Shadow Secret Guard or Luo Wang. He has not been away from Qin Palace for too long, and these traces have not changed much. He can still speculate on the direction they are going.

Zhang Han should be very careful this time, and tracked him until he was about to leave the territory of Dongjun before he had more clues.

……

Zhang Han stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the window of the inn, frowning and looking at the dark official road.

When the mission is on, he usually seldom rests, but the physical strength of the horse has reached its limit, and he was also injured in the battle with the startled salamander, so he chooses to stop at the post station to change horses and rest for a night.

Qin State's post station is full of guarding Qin State soldiers, wearing black armor and masks, and they are on guard for uninvited guests who may visit at any time.

Everything seems to be arranged properly, but——Zhang Han thought, can such a defense really defend against enemies that the imperial army is helpless?

Suddenly, someone yelled at the guard outside the post station wall: "Who! Come out!" Then the guard soldiers became agitated, and some people searched in the dense forest in the middle of the mountain at the end of the official road.

Zhang Han didn't move, he asked, "What's going on?"

The shadow guard who was hiding in the dark said: "There is a figure passing by in the woods, and then disappeared. The person who came here did a good job."

Zhang Han thought for a while, then ordered: "You two, follow up."

The two replied softly: "No." They turned around, turned out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Looking at the place where the figure disappeared, Zhang Han thought of 'striking from the east to the west', but he didn't know which enemy would be visiting tonight?

The candlelight was in a trance for a while, and suddenly there were several heavy bangs behind him.

Zhang Han's pupils shrank, and when he looked back, the sword was in his hand, and he saw the figure of a white-robed swordsman hidden in the semi-dark background, with a wooden sword hanging by his feet, lying on the ground beside his feet. The personal body guard who should have been lurking.

Ge Nie's wide sleeves blocked the hand holding the sword, half of his face was illuminated by the candlelight, warm and quiet, and there was no murderous look on his whole body - this is the reason why he only realized that there was someone in the room now.

Zhang Han laughed: "It turned out to be the Sword Master. Unexpectedly, you and I will meet again in a few days."

Gai Nie was quite polite to Zhang Han, he slightly bowed his hands: "General Zhang Han."

Zhang Han showed a smile as usual: "The sword master came late at night, but he didn't have any murderous intent towards Zhang. Why, he finally figured it out, and planned to return to Xianyang with his old colleagues to surrender?"

Gai Nie lowered his hands: "It seems that I have a predestined relationship with General Zhang Han."

It's really strange that the Juggernaut would get close to him. When he was in Zhangtai, he remembered that he hadn't heard Gai Nie speak to him for several years.The corners of his mouth curled up. When he did this action, he actually looked a bit like the master of quicksand: "If the sword master came here to reminisce about the past, Zhang would really be flattered."

Gai Nie slowly walked towards the table, his whole body exposed to the candlelight: "When I met the general in Dongjun, I was curious whether your majesty was also suspicious of Luo Wang's actions, so that the general entered this game, or - Set up the game."

Zhang Han raised his brows: "No wonder your majesty was so cautious when you betrayed Xianyang, frowning for several days. Your majesty is very sad to lose a talent like you who can defeat a million lions with one man's strength."

Gai Nie was silent. The [-] Qin troops in Tiger Leaping Gorge and the subsequent pursuit all the way showed that the emperor attached great importance to him.

Zhang Han: "Actually, before I came down here, I still carried His Majesty's secret order."

Ge Nie was expressionless and seemed uninterested.

Zhang Han went on to say: "Your Majesty often misses your husband, always thinking about him, thinking about it, and saying that the days are counting, and it's time for him to return to Zhangtai."

Gai Nie's heart suddenly moved, and the Yin-Yang curse printed on Tianming's body came from the Yin-Yang family.The Yinyang family has been assisting the emperor in astrology, divination, and observation of celestial phenomena in Xianyang Palace.Or the key to breaking the game is not to be a bystander.

Sometimes, only when you enter the game can you break the game.

Gai Nie finally opened his mouth, but he didn't follow Zhang Han's intentions. He said directly, "General Zhang Han came to Dongjun for another purpose besides the stone of Yinghuo."

Zhang Han frowned: "Oh? What do you think sir?"

To smart people, Gai Nie has always been straightforward: "The sun and the moon are used to illuminate them, the stars are used to measure them, and the four seasons are used to measure them. They are determined by the age of the Tai. They are born of gods and spirits. They have different shapes, and they may die or live. Only sages can understand them. .”

Zhang Han put away the last trace of his sneer, and his face was serious.

Gai Nie looked at the bronze wooden box in the house, which was locked by the Jiazi mechanism. This kind of lock is not difficult for Gai Nie: "It is said that Zhuanxu was buried in the south of Wuyu Mountain after his death, and there are spotted tigers, red birds and hawks there. , and some people have seen a kind of flesh-gathering monster, also known as flesh-eating monster. This kind of monster is red like coral, white like fat muscle, black like lacquer, green like emerald feathers, and yellow like purple gold. According to legend, the emperor Yao used to eat meat, so that he was still light and youthful after a hundred years old, and it is said that he disappeared after Lord Shun."

Gai Nie paused, and said slowly: "This kind of monster is the legendary Tai Sui."

Zhang Han's face sank like water, and he didn't interrupt Gai Nie.

Gai Nie said: "However, people in the world only hear the legends of mountains and seas, but they don't know that although this monster is Shirou, it is not Shirou. Only when the Sui Xing appears in the world, the Shirou that appears in the direction corresponding to the Sui Xing can be called Tai Sui. At this point, he looked at Zhang Han: "Eat it, and you will live forever."

There was silence in the inn, and Zhang Han laughed in the silent night: "As expected of being the descendant of Guigu Zongheng, my Great Qin Dynasty is rich in the world, and only by looking through the ancient books of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties can I deduce one or two from a few words. Unexpectedly , but the Juggernaut can talk about it like a few treasures."

Gai Nie said: "The Confucian little sage Zhuang is the most collected book in the world. Perhaps this is the real reason why the library caught fire many years ago." Only one person in the world knows the secret of longevity.This person is ordered by the sky, and he also thinks that he should enjoy the same life span as the sky.

The rest are all ants.

Zhang Han has recovered his demeanor, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Gai Nie: "Sir, because you and I were colleagues. I advise you not to interfere in this matter. Those who know this secret, their Life will end in the Lishan Imperial Tomb."

Gai Nie was unmoved, and said slowly: "Or, the one who was burned together was the secret of Canglong Qisu."

The author has something to say: This paragraph is divided into two scenes:

Li Si Zhao Gao:

Zhao Gao: Prime Minister, let's form an alliance

Li Si: I pick my nose silently in my heart. It is not credible for an eunuch to disrupt the country. It is good to make false claims with him. Maybe you can take advantage of it, yes.

Zhao Gao: Look at my sincere eyes, I am worried that the king is also on guard against the prime minister, we can talk to each other if there is anything good

Li Si: No one would say the same thing if it is plausible. I believe you are a puppy

Cross section:

Gai Nie: Xiaozhuang, let's separate for a few days and calm down

Wei Zhuang: If you quarrel, you will break up, believe it or not, I will bite you to death

Gai Nie: ...We are not in the same place on business trips, please be reasonable

Wei Zhuang: Can you try another reason?Say it again, I will let you believe it or not!

Genie:  …

Wei Zhuang: ... I'll go to work first, and I'll take care of you when I come back

Gai Nie: ... (forget it, let's do business first)
