In the evening, the afterglow of the sunset is covered with the snow-white earth. After the Spring Festival is over, the warm breath begins to return to the earth. The night before dawn is the darkest, and the snowy days before spring is also the coldest, especially on the day when there is a sunny, the sunset shines five shadows on the official road, the shadows are stretched very long, the horses are galloping, and the giant bears roar.

"Zhila" horse hooves, Xu Ban, the former commander of the imperial guard of the Great Qin, Lu Ye, the former commander of the Northern Army Scout Camp in Daqin Town, former doctor of the Great Qin Library, Chen Qi, the former elite of the Great Qin Shen Ce Army, the Nanmo Ranger Huo Dong, and a bear, all the way south, was still a bear with internal strength. Bai Yu and Chen Qi also practiced in Xuanwu Temple for six years. They did not grow up and did not increase their age, but their internal strength was extremely deep. No one can compare with their strength. When they went to Beijing, Lu Yan was not as strong as Xiao Yu, and Lu Yan always said that he could not compare with him. Fu Chuying said that this was not nonsense. Xiao Yu was a bear, which was stronger than humans, let alone a bear with internal strength.

Before the fifteenth, a few people arrived at Languan. Lu Ye specifically asked Yin Zihang to thank Yin Zihang for helping him. Yin Zihang let Lu Yan enter. Yin Zihang smiled and said that your younger brother is my younger brother. Yin Zihang and Xu Ban have been in contact for many years. Xu Ban did not politely with Yin Zihang, so he got a Blueguan household registration for several people, saying that in the future we will be from Da Shang Languan, and the Da Shang household registration for the Wuzhou Continent. Because of the prosperity of business, except for the two countries with more disputes between Da Qin and Da Song, the remaining Zhou, Qi, Dongshan and Jin can go at will, without any need for guidance or proof.

Xu Ban and Lu Ye never introduced Chen Qi who had changed his appearance. After all, his experience of resurrection from the dead was too incredible. He only said that Chen Qi was a new brother he met in Baishan. Yin Zihang smiled and nodded at Chen Qi and Huo Dong, and nodded in the eyes of them.

Huo Dong envied Commander Xu, who was friends everywhere he went. Huo Dong didn't like Yin Zihang's royal style. He said that Dongshan Han Shansi was even more serious than Yin Zihang. Huo Dong felt that he had a distance from them and had no common language. You are the king and I am the minister. We should deal less with each other.

Huo Dong rubbed Chen Qi's powerful crossbow that he sent him, complaining to Chen Qi about the royal demeanor. Huo Dong is a Nanmo Ranger. He is not a knives, but a bow and arrow. Bow and arrow are the essential weapons for a ranger. However, Nanmo's manufacturing industry is too poor and is not of the same level as his martial arts. Chen Qi found a crossbow from what Master Lu left in Feiyun Castle. The precise and complex structure really made Chen Qi amazed again. When he took Huo Dong's glasses, he began to shine. After all, he persuaded him to force the bow to his back.

The four of them did not stop at Lan Pass and continued to ride their horses all the way south. When they reached Dongyelin, Chen Qi remembered Cao Tong, the governor of the Upper Court. After Han Xing knew that Chen Qi was not dead, his hatred for Cao Tong became indifferent. Compared to being injured by Cao Tong, it seemed indifferent to Chen Qi's death. After all, Cao Tong saved Chen Qi, Qionghualou and others at the hands of Guiyuan Sect. I don't know how Cao Tong and the others chased Guiyuan Sect Luyang and the Six Shadow Guards, Chen Qi thought to himself.

Chen Qi said, "Captain Xu, ask for a question."

Xu Ban turned his head and looked at Chen Qi in confusion, waiting for Chen Qi to speak.

"Are you familiar with Daqin Shangyuan? It's Cao Tong and the others."

Xu Ban strangled the horse and walked slowly in Dongyelin. "It's not that familiar. The imperial guards in the Qin Dynasty belong to the lower court, and the upper court is the imperial guards and the inner guards, and there is a competitive relationship."

"Cao Tong is very powerful. He came out of the Western Barbarians in his early years and was a little injured. Otherwise, he should have been the imperial guard, not the inner guard."

Chen Qi took out a snack from his pocket and gave a few people a little bit. While eating, he said, "How powerful are the Western Barbarians? Cao Tong came out to fight, and Guiyuan Sect Lu Yang escaped and was almost gone."

Xu Ban shook his head and continued, "Western barbarians, then I have to ask the Yang family in Linzhou. We have never contacted each other. The Yang family generals are too powerful and the Western barbarians cannot fight in."

Huo Dong then asked, "How powerful are the guards in the upper courtyard? Are they all the same as Cao Tong? Have they ever worked for the Six Shadow Guards?"

Xu Ban showed a thoughtful expression and said, "The twelve eunuchs, headed by Cao Tong, have similar martial arts skills. Nineteen years ago, Sima Hong, the god of killing, was famous all over the world. He is the most powerful inner guard in the entire five continents. He usually does not leave the Qin Palace unless the emperor's order."

"Nineteen years ago, after the Lengquan massacre, if the twelve eunuchs had not been ordered by Fu Yi to pursue Prime Minister Liu Yuan, Shangguan Jing, would have thought that the person who recruited me to be undercover was Shangguan Jing, and the plan to assassinate Emperor Guang would be ruined, and I would not have been injured. I would have become an imperial guard, and I would not have become the murderer of the assassination of Emperor Guang. Of course, I might still be a young man who would seek Emperor Guang's revenge on his master's sect."

Huo Dong showed a fascination. Twelve eunuchs, let's forget it, that's the eunuch. Huo Dong stuck out his tongue and followed Xu Ban toward Lengquan's gate.

The guard commander Xu Ban himself is not very outstanding in appearance and cannot be found in the crowd. Lu Ye and Huo Dong are both transparent people in the Qin army. They have no military achievements or qualifications. Almost no one knows them except their boss, let alone Chen Qi, who has changed.

Several people, with Languan’s household registration and the Feiyan Escort Agency, easily passed Lengquan and drove south directly to Yanmen, aiming directly to Hedong Road.

There were obviously more people in the land of the Three Jins. Many people from Guanzhong were rushing to the road, saying that the Liangzhou rebels and the Western Barbarians merged into one place, swallowing up the Yang family generals of the Western Regions. The Yangs of the Western Regions broke out a road from the desert and retreated to Linzhou. Fengxiang County became a gateway. A year ago, Fu Rui planned to start a war against the Da Shang again, and planned to plan Beidicheng on the north side of Languan. Beidi was originally the homeland of the Qin Dynasty, and had always been a royal heart disease. He could not resist the Liangzhou soldiers' invasion of Fengxiang and the Northern Expedition was stranded.

The situation in Guanzhong was deteriorating, and the three major troops in Daqin towns, including Hedong Road and Shannan Road, were all transferred to Fengxiang. The corvée service was heavy and rebels rose everywhere. In a year, the Qin Dynasty was in danger. In Bai Shijie's eyes, the good situation was lost, and the Qin Emperor became a representative of Wudao. The Southern Jin and Southern Song dynasties also raised a big banner to attack Wudao, and sent troops to seize Jiange and Lanjiang in one fell swoop. Emperor Guangxi Fu Yi's Lanjiang army lost its source of prosperity.

The war spread in the south and the road ahead was blocked. Lu Ye and his party stayed in Mayi to discuss countermeasures. Chen Qi was very interested in a horse thief that rose last year near Mayi. A group of about 30,000 bandits were entrenched in Shanyang Town on the northwest, known as the Pingtian Army. The court was too lazy to suppress it, and there was no capital or strength to suppress it. The Mayi garrison was only 5,000 troops, and the imperial court ordered the bandits to be suppressed, which was mostly superficial. He shook the flag and shouted for a few days before returning to Mayi City. He heard from the old soldiers in the city that the five battalions of Mayi and the three lieutenants were shirking each other. Several main leaders in the Pingtian bandits were their old bosses.

Chen Qi was interested in them because he heard the legend of the common people that the bandit leader was actually a descendant of the murdered general's mansion. He couldn't help but think of his second brother, Chen Yu, who raised horses in Mayi.
