Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 330

Five days later, Xianyang.

The mission is ready to go to Mongolia officially.The mission was disguised as a caravan from the Zhang family, under the banner of Jin merchants in Puzhou, with a team of up to 2000 people, all of whom were staff and bodyguards dressed up as soldiers in Li Guo's army.

Li Guo saw the mission off in the northern suburbs of Xianyang, saying: "Xianyang is the ancient capital of the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang once ordered Meng Tian to build the Qin Zhi Road, from Xianyang to the Tatar area (that is, today's Baotou), from Shaanxi to Mongolia since ancient times. This ancient road is often taken. The place where we stand now is the former site of Lin Guang Palace in the Qin Dynasty."

Xia Wanchun said with emotion: "Qin Shihuang is worthy of being an emperor through the ages. The Great Wall and Qin Zhidao he built have gone through thousands of years and still benefit future generations!"

Cao Huachun said with a smile: "Today's son is also a majestic lord. If we follow His Majesty, we will be able to make a great cause that will benefit generations to come!"

Then he drank the wine in the glass, looked at Li Guo and said, "Duke Xingguo, leave now. The 80 taels of silver are temporarily stored in the treasury of Xi'an, half of which will be used in the future, and the other half will be given to Duke Xingguo as military expenses. "

Li Guo laughed loudly: "Director Cao, then I would be more respectful than obedient! To be honest, Governor Cao casually brought 40 taels of military expenses to the soldiers. This general opened his eyes. Gossip less , let’s leave it at that, and hope Duke Yi, Lord Xiao Xia and Governor Cao have a smooth journey, and I’ll be waiting for you to come back!”

After drinking the farewell wine, Xia Wanchun gave an order, Zhang Qitai led the way, and the group left in a mighty way.

Qinzhidao is the shortest road from Xianyang to the Yinshan Mountains in the north. It is roughly straight from north to south, so it is called "Zhidao".

Qin Shihuang had very high requirements for this road. In addition to being wide and flat, he also required that it should not become soft in rainy days and that grass should never grow.

The craftsmen who built Qin Zhidao tried their best to thoroughly bake the soil for building the road, or burn it, and then mix it with salt and alkali.As a result, the road is hard, and the soil quality has been artificially changed, resulting in no vegetation.

Zhang Qitai is used to walking the Qin Zhidao, familiar with geography, and is a very good guide.He led the way, and naturally avoided many detours.

Winding all the way to the north, crossing the Yellow River from the Zhaojun Tomb, crossing the Yin Mountains, and entering the Mongolian Plateau, the scenery has changed.

But there is a vast expanse between the sky and the earth, and the atmosphere is open.Xia Wanchun blurted out: "The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river. Wang Wei's poem can be regarded as describing the scenery of the desert."

Cao Huachun said: "We have only reached the Hetao area, and it is still far away from the desert. Master Xiaoxia is from the south, and he is used to the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. It is reasonable to feel admiration when he sees such a vast scene for the first time. But the future is long. It's extremely difficult, and within a few days, Master Xiao Xia will no longer be interested in enjoying the scenery."

"Director Cao, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will continue as before." Xia Wanchun said.

It was getting late at this time, Zhang Qitai said: "Let's camp at the foot of Yinshan Mountain and rest for one night."

"Listen to the guide!" Cao Huachun smiled and looked at Zhang Qitai, making his hair stand on end.

The soldiers set up camp, settled horses and vehicles, lit bonfires, drank and chatted, or patrolled and guarded.In the vast wilderness, people can only rely on each other, and the love for robes is even stronger.

Xiao Erhei was clever, so Li Guo sent him to serve Xia Wanchun and others.The kid was so busy, he set up tents for Xia Wanchun and Cao Huachun respectively, waited for them to sleep, and went to wait for Wang Yi.

Unexpectedly, there was no one in Wang Yi's tent.He came out and looked around.

In the light of the fire not far away, Xiao Erhei found that Wang Yi was leaning on a stone with his knees hugged, looking depressed and staring at the flickering stars in the sky, looking lonely and lonely.

Having been together for so many days, Xiao Erhei has already figured out the tempers of the three adults. Cao Changdu is vicious and cruel, and Xiao Xia is a gentleman, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are too expensive and natural. It's admirable.

Only Lord Yiguo, who could tell at a glance that he was from a grass-roots background, made Xiao Erhei feel more at ease with him.On weekdays, Duke Yi also likes to chat with the soldiers and is used to joking with Xiao Erhei.

But sometimes, Duke Yi seems to be preoccupied, with a sad look in his eyes, as if full of sorrow.

Xiao Erhei tiptoed over, raised the jug in his hand and said, "Duke Yi, so you are here! I can see that you don't want to sleep yet, so I brought you a jug of wine."

"Why don't you, don't be so polite." Wang Yi looked back at Xiao Erhei, took the jug and drank three mouthfuls, but Zhong Zhong was in a daze, silent like a stone covered with moss.

Xiao Erhei sat down cross-legged, boldly said: "Duke Yi, is there something sad for you?"

Wang Yi didn't speak, but looked into the distance.

"During the outbreak of pimple plague, my family fled from Shanxi to Shangzhou. On the way, my father died, and my younger brother Xiaobao fed the wolves. When I came to my uncle's house in Shangzhou, life was miserable. Lianer told me that she was sad. When you are sad, blow the xun to relieve boredom. Lord Yi, let me blow the xun for you, please?"

Wang Yi remained silent, Xiao Erhei took out a Tao Xun from his bosom, whimpered and began to blow.

The night is vast, the sky is far away and the earth is wide, and the sound of xun is like weeping, admiration, resentment, and complaints, floating in the wind.

Wang Yi was full of sorrow, and just when his mind was hard to dispel, he was immediately moved by the mournful music.He watched Xiao Erhei blowing the xun with great interest, and after the song ended, he said, "Very good! What song are you playing?"

""Su Wu Shepherd"." Xiao Erhei grinned, thought for a while and then said, "Lian Er taught me, I am a fool, I barely mastered it after a long time of study, not as good as Lian Er's one-tenth one."

"Who is Lian Er?"

"My cousin..." Xiao Erhei scratched his head, laughing silly.

Wang Yi saw his eyes light up when he mentioned Lian'er, so he smiled and said, "It's not just as simple as my cousin, is it?"

Xiao Erhei laughed even more embarrassingly, and talked about how he dragged Lian'er to flee for his life, saying: "After meeting Duke Xingguo, I joined the army and served the country. Duke Xingguo took good care of me and made me his Personal guards, and rewarded a house to house Lian Er. Xing Guogong also said that when he has the opportunity in the future, he will personally preside over the wedding between Lian Er and me."

"You are quite happy!" Wang Yi admired sincerely, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Xiaoer Hei said: "Duke Yi, do you have a woman you like? For a hero like you, there must be many women vying to marry you!"

Wang Yi turned cold and frowned.

Xiao Erhei was so frightened that he knelt down, slapped himself and said, "The little one has offended Duke Xing, it's time to hit him!"

"It's none of your business. I'm not angry. Get up." Wang Yi forced a smile and said, "I like Tao Xun's voice very much. You can teach me how to play it, okay?"

"That's great!" Xiao Erhei laughed, got up and taught Wang Yi how to blow the xun with all his heart.

The night was getting deeper, and except for the soldiers who patrolled the night, everyone had fallen asleep, and many piles of bonfires were burned out.

"My nose is gone, so it's really difficult to blow the xun. Let's learn this for now, and you can teach me after camping tomorrow night." Wang Yi stood up, ready to go back to the tent and squat for a while.

At this moment, the night watchman shouted: "There is an enemy situation!"

Wang Yi leaped onto the rock and looked into the distance, and saw a group of people rushing along the foot of Yinshan Mountain, and the sound of horseshoes was earth-shattering.
