The dust was rising on the broad straight road, and the mighty Qin army came overwhelmingly. With their majestic military posture, strong horses, bright weapons, and flying flags, this was the vanguard of the Qin army, with a total of one hundred thousand people.

The army of 100,000 people is mainly composed of chariots and cavalry.

Behind the 100,000 vanguard troops is Qin Shihuang's central army. The central army is composed of 200,000 Qin soldiers. They mainly come from Meng Tian's command. They once conquered Mobei and the mighty Northern Army. At this time, they are protecting

Driving in the car, they marched southward in a mighty manner. Behind this army, there were 50,000 soldiers and horses. These 50,000 soldiers and horses were also called the rear army and were the main source of logistics supplies for the First Emperor.

However, the supplies brought by the First Emperor from Guanzhong were generally luxury goods and consumables. The food supplies and food for the three armies always had to be supplied by local officials. The local officials could not afford such huge military expenditures, so they had to ask for them from the people.

, burning, killing and looting abounded, the people were miserable and complained, some had to leave their homes, their wives and children were separated, and their families were destroyed.

The First Emperor would never be able to see these miserable scenes. All that could appear in his eyes were the great rivers and mountains of the Qin State, the majestic army and the prosperous scene. At this time, the First Emperor's front army had already passed through Danyang County, and there was still half a day to go.

After a short journey, you can reach Zhanxian County. Once you get there, you can have a hearty meal.

Five hundred cavalry galloped on the straight road. The First Emperor was patrolling east. The scene was so grand. Who dared to assassinate the First Emperor? Even if someone dared, he would not succeed. The 200,000 Chinese troops guarding the First Emperor were as strong as iron barrels. How could it be so easy to succeed?

?But these five hundred people had to go about their routine and explore the road ahead.

Since the First Emperor ruled the world, the construction of the straight road has not stopped. Various trees have been planted on both sides of the road. It is very beautiful. A leading officer, riding a tall horse, was attracted by a patch of flowers in the distance. The beautiful scenery made him

He is in a good mood.

But even so, he couldn't make any stop and had no choice but to imprint the beautiful scenery in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly saw a white-haired old man standing a hundred steps away. He was surprised and immediately stopped fighting?

The war horse raised its front hooves and neighed with all its strength.

After a while, the officer finally controlled the horse. He couldn't help but became furious. He drew out his copper sword, rode the horse up, pointed at the old man, and cursed: "You don't want to live without eyes?"

The old man was not afraid of the officers. He looked up at the officers on the horse and handed over the box he was holding. His voice was cold and hoarse, and he said in a cold and hoarse voice, "Please tell His Majesty the Emperor that the ancestor dragon will return to the west this year."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left. Not far away, his lingering voice was still floating: "Remember, tell His Majesty the Emperor that this year the ancestor dragon will return to the west..."

The officer woke up from his shock. He couldn't help but became furious. He turned around and ordered: "Catch him//capture him!"

Five hundred soldiers rode out on horseback, but the officer had to pick up the box, put it on Mabei Mountain, and chased after him together. However, the old man's speed remained consistent, neither too fast nor too slow. The five hundred cavalrymen followed closely.

, but could not catch up with him. It was not until everyone ran twenty miles away that they stopped their horses and gasped for breath.

"It's really weird!" A cavalryman was surprised. Their horse speed was already the fastest, but unexpectedly, they couldn't even see the old man's back.

...

On the carriage of the First Emperor, the officer was standing respectfully in front of the First Emperor. He was holding the box sent by the old man in his hand, his legs were shaking slightly, and soon he said anxiously: "The old man said,

This year the ancestor dragon returns to the west."

The First Emperor didn't understand and asked displeasedly: "What kind of ancestral dragon returns to the west?"

"The general doesn't know." The officer was so frightened that he knelt down. After a while, he continued: "Your Majesty, the general noticed something was wrong and led his troops to pursue us. But no matter how we pursued, the old man was always in front of us.

Walking leisurely, we can't catch him at all!"

"What kind of monster is this?" The First Emperor was furious and looked at Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao was also thinking secretly at this time. After thinking for a while, Zhao Gao shook his head helplessly and had to take a step forward and asked: "Your Majesty

, I will open the box for you."

The First Emperor was extremely curious at this time and nodded in agreement. Zhao Gao bowed and saluted. Then he walked over and took the box from the officer. He glanced at the officer. The officer shivered with fear. Zhao Gao snorted coldly before picking up the box.

Put the box on the table, gently opened the strange box, and saw a jade seal wrapped in cloth inside.

Zhao Gao was surprised, picked up the jade seal, looked at it for a moment, held it in front of the First Emperor, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, look..."

The First Emperor took the jade seal and took a look at it. He couldn't help being surprised. He recalled that when he was walking across Dongting Lake, there was a strong storm. In order to calm the storm, the First Emperor threw the jade seal at the suggestion of his ministers. The storm stopped suddenly.

But today, his sudden appearance made the First Emperor feel vaguely bad. That old man might have some abilities.

If it is true as the old man said, and the ancestral dragon returns to the west this year, who will it be? He is the First Emperor of Qin, and the word 'Shi' and 'ancestor' have the same meaning. The First Emperor secretly felt that this ancestral dragon would be himself, but if this ancestral dragon

If it is really me, then will I die on this eastward tour?

The First Emperor was gradually wandering in his mind. He was in good health at this time. If he was really in trouble, he might have encountered an assassin on the road. Looking back at Bolangsha back then, someone threw an iron spine to assassinate him. Such a terrible thing, the First Emperor did not want to do it again.

It happened for the second time. Thinking of this, the First Emperor looked at Zhao Gao with a cold look and said coldly: "Order Zhang Han to take over the central army and tighten the defense, and ask Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, to tighten the defense. Don't be negligent in the slightest."

, In addition, let him come to Qiantang River to meet me..."

The sky had just turned dark, and the First Emperor boarded the southward boat and headed towards Kuaiji along the Qiantang River. The bright jade seal was always wandering in front of the First Emperor like an indelible shadow. The old man's words about the ancestor dragon returning to the west made the First Emperor feel even more

I felt uneasy in my heart.

Looking back on these years, I have unified the six countries, expelled the Xiongnu, killed the Southern Barbarians, and expanded the territory. How glorious it was. But even so, I have always sought immortality to no avail, and I have never been able to get the elixir of life. If I keep waiting like this

, I wonder what it will be like when the end of life comes?

The First Emperor was unwilling to die. His eternal dream, his eternal peace, and his dream of governing the Qin Kingdom for thousands of years will all disappear with the passing of his life. With a long sigh, the First Emperor looked up at Zhao Gao and said coldly.

He ordered: "Send the order and order Xu Fu to come and see you immediately!"

...

In Wu County, the county magistrate's office was extremely busy. Groups of soldiers were running on the streets. They rushed into people's homes from time to time. Although they had a high-sounding name, they were escorting the First Emperor and searching for all suspicious persons. In fact, after they entered every house,

, they would pack big and small bags and take away a lot of things. The people dared to be angry but dared not speak out, so they could only endure.

The First Emperor's eastward tour broke the original peace of Kuaiji County. At this time, Kuaiji County was like a pot of boiling water, especially Wu County. However, the First Emperor had already arrived at the Qiantang River, and Yin Tong could not care about it at this time.

At this time, I changed my clothes and hurried to the front hall.

Not long ago, Xiang Liang was elected as the third elder of Kuaiji County to assist the county governor in the education. At this time, he was invited by the county governor and came to the government office. Next to him was Zhou Lan, who had just arrived. Both of them were waiting anxiously.

, soon, Yin Tong walked in quickly, and the two of them hurriedly saluted Yin Tong. Yin Tong was anxious and ignored the red tape, and quickly came to sit on the soft mat.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived at the Qiantang River and will soon come to Kuaiji Mountain to worship. At this time, safety is the most important." Yin Tong said this, looked at Zhou Lan aside and ordered: "The investigation in the city must be stepped up.

With great force, we also immediately gathered two thousand soldiers to blockade Kuaiji Mountain."

Zhou Lan did not expect that the emperor would make such a big move during this eastern tour, but he did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to cup his hands and say: "I obey the order."

Zhou Lan left quickly. At this time, Yin Tong looked at Xiang Liang, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Mr. Liang, your Majesty is under a lot of pressure during this eastward tour."

Xiang Liang could only hold up his hands and said with a smile: "Kuiji County has always been stable. It is adjacent to the East China Sea and will not be as chaotic as the Central Plains. Don't worry, sir."

After a pause, Xiang Liang continued: "As long as you provide good logistical support and set up checkpoints at key intersections to ensure that no one can approach Luan Jia, everything will pass safely."

Yin Tong was in chaos at this time. After hearing Xiang Liang's words, he couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "What Mr. Liang said is absolutely true."

Yin Tong took a long breath and felt that his nervousness was much better. Then he laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Liang, please accompany me to pick up the driver."

Before Xiang Liang could speak, Yin Tong had already strode away. Looking at Yin Tong's leaving figure, Xiang Liang secretly thought he was lucky. If it weren't for Xiang Zhuang's suggestion, he would have arranged for the dead men to be killed in Kuaiji Mountain.

If Zhou Lan's army discovers it, the situation may be over, and the Xiang family will also be in disaster.

With a long sigh, Xiang Liang quickly followed Yin Tong and left.

By the moat, a team of twenty people quickly walked out of the city gate, walked across the suspension bridge, and prepared to leave. But at this moment, dust started to rise not far away, and a team of two thousand people, fully armed, marched toward Yin Tong.

When the people came, Yin Tong felt the trembling of the earth on the suspension bridge. He stopped his horse, raised his eyes, and looked into the distance. He saw Xiang Yu, wearing black leather armor, majestic and galloping towards him.

As they approached, Xiang Yu raised his hands on his horse and said loudly: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is about to pass through the border. The general will lead his militia and is willing to help the county guards to escort him."

Yin Tong looked at the army. In just one month, Xiang Yu had trained the army so neatly. He was so happy that he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, come with me."

Xiang Yu handed over his hands to accept the order. At this time, his eyes met with Xiang Liang's. Xiang Liang knew the purpose of Xiang Yu's heavily armed army. He was afraid that Xiang Yu would be reckless and take action suddenly, so he had to wink. Xiang Yu understood and slightly
