Chapter 171: open hell
Chapter 171 Open Hades
"Let's go, we have to enter the palace later, so I'll be wasting time here." Yu Gui urged.
"Um."
Mu Qingkong looked at Ji Yu and Han Yue, and then looked at the person who was talking in the crowd just now.
It was a black-faced man in the shape of an ordinary person. He probably heard that Han Yue had just said that Mu Qingkong and Yu Concubine were generals of Ye Yufu with a fierce reputation. At this time, they had quietly shrunk behind the crowd.
Mu Qingkong did not investigate on the spot, but winked at the entourage behind him and signaled to secretly investigate the identity of the person who spoke, so they walked away with Yu Gui.
The night is beginning to fall.
Mu Qingkong and other generals came to Xianyang Palace and were led by the servants to a side hall, waiting for the summon of the Lord of Qin.
The former Vice Pope of Kuzhou Sect, who was thin and gloomy, Yao Ji, who had been working under Mu Qingkong's command after he surrendered to Qin, and Xia Xin, who was tall and had a black armor, and Yin Wugou, also came one after another. , waiting to be summoned by Zhao Huaizhong.
"How is Zhao Jing's situation?"
In the study room, Zhao Huaizhong asked Yao Ji first.
Yaoji's Kuzhou Sect was active in Zhao and Wei in the past.
Zhao Huaizhong recently ordered to pay attention to Zhao Jing's movements. Yao Ji thought it was an opportunity to perform, and he did his best to mobilize his people to investigate Zhao Jing all over the place.
When he heard the question, he stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Zhao Di seems to be calm recently, but Wei Chen found out that there are many people in Zhao Wang's family, Zhao Chen Guo Kai's mansion secretly going in and out, and going to various countries to walk around. The specific situation, the minister is still tracking and investigating..."
Yao Ji finished talking, Mu Qingkong and Xia Xin also spoke in turn.
After the three reported the situation, they each left with a few entourages.
Zhao Huai Lieutenant General Yu Concubine and Yin Wugou left a question.
After leaving Xianyang Palace, Yao Ji was half a position behind and walked behind Mu Qingkong and Xia Xin, listening to the two talking while walking.
When the two of them finished speaking, Yao Jicai said: "Two generals, the ministers went out this time and brought some things back."
As soon as he raised his hand, an attendant stepped forward behind him and presented a half-person-height cage.
"The minister has asked people to look for this thing for some time, and it was recently found on the border of Yandi."
Yao Ji handed out the cage with black cloth in his hand, Xia Xin was not polite and took it.
Mu Qingkong took a look from the side and saw that the cage was opened, and inside was a furry, raccoon-like little beast with a round body and quite cuteness. He knew that this gift was given by Yao Ji, and Xia Xin was sure would love it.
Xia Xin is strong and fierce, but for some unknown reason, he likes furry things.
When he asked Mu Qingkong to give him sweet dreams, he also liked the kind of female fairy with a hairy tail the most.
Xia Xin saw the little beast sent by Yao Ji, and he really liked it. He reached into the cage and touched the little beast's head.
"This cub is called Snow Beast. It has a keen sense of smell and can smell all kinds of odors. It can also be used by generals when he goes out to handle official business. It is not a simple plaything."
Yao Ji looked at Mu Qingkong again, took out a brocade box and handed it over: "General, please take a look."
Mu Qingkong took the box and opened it. Inside was a palm-width bronze wrist guard.
It is engraved with the pattern of a hundred ghosts walking at night, but it is a magic weapon used to seal ghosts, and it is quite in line with his mind.
Xia Xin and Mu Qingkong asked Yao Ji: "What do you have to ask me to help you with?"
Yao Ji said with a smile: "After General Pei Yu left, the position of the ninth general in our Ye Yufu will be vacant. Recently, the competition in the residence has been fierce..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Xia Xin interrupted: "Although you have been in Qin for two years and have some meritorious achievements, you are far from being promoted to the ninth general of Zhonglang."
said again: "In my opinion, this time Pei Yukong's position may fall on the goddess Yu Concubine."
Yao Ji pondered deeply: "The Heaven Patching Sect in ancient times, along with the Seven Emotions Dao, the Yin Nu sect and other sects, all came from Tongtian Dao.
The Heaven-Mending Sect descends on Qin, will there be a problem? "
Xia Xin said softly: "What can you think of, the king can't see it?"
Mu Qingkong nodded: "A month ago, the Heavenly Reinforcement Teacher entered Qin, and the king has personally met Yu Gui, and with the great king's eyesight, we can be sure that Yu Gui is sincere to join her.
The Great King also asserted that Yu Concubine has the appearance of a saint. Although she is a woman, she has reached the pinnacle of the Holy Dharma Realm. If she touches the lintel of the saint's door, I am not as good as others.
The key is that although she has only returned to Qin for one month, she has done a lot. The gift of returning to Qin is the foundation of the Heaven-Mending Sect.
That is a rare treasure handed down from ancient times, the foundation of the Heaven-Mending Religion, and Yu Yu expressed that she had no intention of returning to Qin.
In the following month, she went on a crusade everywhere, and her force went up to the level of Vice-Shi Bai.
And as far as I know, her attachment has brought me some important things to Daqin, and her merits are enough for her to sit in the position of the nine generals of Zhonglang.
You don't have to think about Yao Ji. "
Yao Ji immediately retreated and asked for the next best thing: "The competition in our house is fierce, and the ministers know it.
But if someone is promoted to the ninth general of Zhonglang, there must be other positions vacated. If the subordinates get it, they can come out and lead the army alone. I hope that is enough. "
Xia Xin and Mu Qingkong looked at each other: "This one can help you."
——
Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Huaizhong looked at Yin Wugou, Yu Gui: "How about the matter that the two of you were asked to investigate?"
Yin Wugou said: "I am waiting for the king's order to conduct a close inspection of all parts of the Qin territory and find that some county officials have indeed been greedy for ink. , Your Majesty please check."
After saying that, he took out a paper-bound booklet and asked the servant to present it to Zhao Huaizhong.
Nowadays, writing and paper items have gradually become popular in various ministries of Daqin, replacing bamboo slips.
And the strength of a country is not only the development of military and financial resources, but also the eradication of officials who manipulate power and corrupt ink and deceive the superior and the inferior.
Zhao Huaizhong asked Yin Wugou to be responsible for investigating officials in various places. He also cooperated with a series of measures promoted by Han Fei after he became the Great Qin Tingwei to thoroughly investigate Qin officials at all levels and strictly enforce the law.
Zhao Huaizhong had read the booklet that Yin Wugou had brought up, and his face was full of joy and anger, and then asked Yu Gui, "I asked you to pick up Yan Prince Dan, how is the situation?"
"It has been connected to the city and settled in the inner courtyard of Jingqian Temple."
Just now Ji Yu and Han Yue saw Yu Yu holding a carriage into the city, and it was Prince Yan who came to Xianyang again.
This was something Zhao Huaizhong had long expected.
When he killed Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng a few months ago, and then destroyed the Pingyuan military mansion, he said that if Yan attacked Zhao, Qin would follow. The news spread to Yan, and the Yan people were overjoyed. Naturally, they wanted to come to Qin for activities. It is the alliance of Qin and Zhao.
Yan people have always wanted to go west.
Whether in the inherent history or in this world.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong looked at Yin Wugou and said warmly:
"Before Pei Yu went to Yandi Jade City with you and caused his death, the responsibility is not yours.
What's more, Pei Yu's soul has a complete memory, turned into a ghost, and has been arranged by the widow to do other things. Since Qin is the general, if you can afford it and let it go, the past will be over.
You are stagnant. In the past few months, your cultivation has not advanced an inch, but there are signs of regression. You should reflect on yourself and take precautions. "
Yin Wugou's body trembled, and he knelt down to give a big salute.
Zhao Huaizhong, who is the lord of the country, can say these words to one of his generals under the Ye Yufu, which shows his love.
During this period of time, he really felt that Pei Yu was physically destroyed and died, and he felt remorse and remorse for being helpless at the time.
He bowed in a salute, and when he got up and left, his footsteps were inexplicably brisk.
After Yin Wugou left, Zhao Huaizhong said to the only remaining concubine: "Let you arrange for someone to send the Fang Yincao held by the Butian Sect to Mount Tai, have you ever sent it?"
Yin Cao was originally used by sects such as Yin Nujiao to calculate Daqin, and later fell into the hands of Zhao Huaizhong, but the last Yin Cao in the Quartet was always missing.
At that time, Xia Si and others from the yin girl sect once said that the last piece of yin was in the hands of the Heaven Patching Sect, the head of the five ancient sects.
At this time, the Heaven Patching Sect took the initiative to surrender to Qin, and the last Yin Cao came without any effort.
"According to the king's instructions, the Yin Cao has been sent to the ghost town of Mount Tai."
After Yu Yu finished speaking, she saw that Zhao Huaizhong had no more questions, so she complied with the ceremony and retire.
When she was walking, even the skirt armor could not cover the slender waist, showing an amazing plump curve, and the rhythm of the lotus steps was full of rhythm.
After she left, Zhao Huaizhong took out the Kunlun mirror, stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the mirror reflected scenes after scenes, which was exactly the scene of Mount Tai's ghost town.
In the center of the ghost town, the yin and cao from all directions gathered together, and the fortresses were united, and it turned into a stone tower.
Yin Cao is connected and suddenly changed. The stone pagoda grew suddenly, towering like a mountain.
And in the stone tower derived from the Sifang Cao, a qi machine surged, and suddenly penetrated the entrance to the underworld.
In the Yin Cao, a crack slowly appeared, like an open door.
Behind the door is the legendary underworld, the place where people belong after death.
When Zhao Huaizhong opened the Kunlun mirror, the ghost was arranging the ghosts in the ghost town to enter the underworld.
"It's finally opened." Zhao Huai thought in the center.
Before, ghosts had figured out how to enter and leave the underworld through the underworld, but there were too many restrictions. It was far from the underworld that was wide open and could enter without hindrance.
Outside the window, the night is deep and the stars twinkle.
And the Xianyang Palace is brightly lit.
At this time, Lu Buwei and Wang Jian, Han Fei and other important officials, who had just been transferred back to Xianyang from the western border of Daqin to guard against the evil spirits, were summoned to the palace overnight.
"Your Majesty."
Lu Buwei, Wang Jian and others came to the low seat in front of Zhao Huaizhong to take their seats.
Zhao Huaizhong temporarily put away the Kunlun mirror, looked at the ministers and said:
"I, Daqin, have changed a lot in recent years, and the rest of the five countries have noticed it. The few people predict that the five countries will make some moves in the near future."
Lu Buwei's drooping eyes narrowed slightly: "Your Majesty, do you suspect that the Five Kingdoms will merge again?"
Wang Jian also frowned upon hearing this.
Inherently in history, the sixth merger of the five-nation alliance did not occur.
But this side of the world, Daqin, especially Zhao Huaizhong, brought a lot of changes. When he broke through the three realms of saints, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu all had visions.
Then Qin announced to the world to recruit talents, and people from all five countries came to Qin.
Furthermore, when the Zhengguo Canal is completed, Qin Huan will definitely take action. It is impossible for other countries to ignore this.
And in just ten months, Qin swallowed Han with thunder.
The pressure on Zhao and Wei from this move can be imagined.
Although the other countries have only joined forces to attack Qi, but under the pressure of Qin, it is not impossible for the five countries to negotiate peace and reunite.
They will not sit still and let Qin continue to become stronger.
Zhao Huaizhong judged that in the coming spring, the Five Kingdoms must have action.
This is a terrible backlash for showing up in front of people.
He called Lu Buwei, Wang Jian and others into the palace because he planned to make arrangements early.
"Qi and Yan are the key to the integration of the five countries. Qi and Yan are not in immediate pain. The Yan people have always wanted to go west, so they can use it." Zhao Huaizhong said.
"Your Majesty intends to join Yan and attack Zhao before the Five Kingdoms join forces to destroy the follow-up plan of the Five Kingdoms?" Lu Buwei said in a scheming way.
"Yan Prince Dan has come to Qin, and at this time, he has formed an alliance with Yan. We might as well give more favors to the people of Yan, so as to facilitate this battle as soon as possible."
Zhao Huaizhong negotiated with Lu Buwei and other officials to formulate Qin's next strategy for dealing with the Five Kingdoms.
When the ministers left, it was already dark.
He took out the Kunlun mirror again and checked the changes.
