Chapter 14
After receiving the order to return to China, Qin Lei went to the palace to thank the Empress Dowager Qi and the Emperor, and waited for the auspicious sun in three days to set off.
Chen Luo paid millions of taels of silver to deal with it, and finally let the State of Qi agree to half of the protection force of the Tie family. If Prime Minister Shangguan knew that Zhang Jianzhi, who had left the hostage, had met Qin Lei outside the city, he would definitely not be blinded by the eighteen Jiangnan singers.
There is another news these days that the national teacher’s nephew was lost again, but this kid often disappeared, and not many people care about it.
Three days later, the fog had just dissipated, and five large trucks drove out of the Proton Mansion and turned to Zhuque Street. After half an hour, they left the east gate of the capital, where they met with the two guards and boarded the official road.
Chen Luo's soldiers had more than 300 people, and except for those sent out to perform missions, they all gathered around Qin Lei. Qin Lei was still very grateful for this unusual care. Without Chen Luo's full support, he could only choose to die in the world. This was particularly strong compared to his biological father, the indifferent and even the ruthless use of the Emperor of Qin.
Shortly after departure, Qin Lei poked his head out of the car and asked Tieying who was driving, "Did you send that box to Zhishan?"
Tieying smiled and said, "I've sent it. The monk also praised our box for its exquisite design." As he said that, he burst into laughter.
Qin Lei couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes, I guess it hasn't opened it yet."
Tieying held back his smile and said hard: "There are more than a dozen keys and no drawings, so it will take some effort. I wonder what his expression would be after opening it?"
Qin Lei said seriously: "We are the most kind, and we will give him whatever we say, and we will never bargain."
Tieying remembered the box of "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Classics" bought from the School Hall for two taels of silver, which were indeed valuable calligraphy and paintings. I just wonder if the monk would be disappointed.
Qin Lei smiled and said, "The monk will not be disappointed. Isn't that kid also in the box? We are really kind. It's not good to do this, and we have to change it next time."
Tieying pretended to say, "Abide by the order." After they beat up the nephew of the national master, they forced him to write a confession, surrender, borrow money, sell a number of contracts, and fed the medicine to stuff it back into the box.
Qin Lei suddenly looked serious and said to Tieying: "Brother Tie, have you discovered anything?"
Tieying became nervous and listened to the following words in a quiet manner.
"You are much more cheerful now." Qin Lei said mysteriously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The iron eagle shook his body and whipped it hard on the horse's back. The horse suffered and ran wildly.
After the convoy had been in the middle of half an hour, Tieying knocked on the door and said to Qin Lei: "Your Highness, you're here."
Qin Lei nodded, carefully tidied up his clothes, opened the door and got out of the car. Tieying had already stopped the team.
The master and servant turned down the official road, walked on the path flooded with weeds for a quarter of an hour, and arrived in front of a tomb covered with weeds.
The sun face of the white marble tombstone is facing west, with eight big words engraved with the words "Tomb of Concubine Xiaoyi of Daqi"! This is actually the place where the eldest princess of Daqi, the imperial concubine of Qi, and the aunt Qin Lei was buried.
Qin Lei knew little about this miserable aunt, all of which came from Tie Ying's retelling. He knew that he had not died in the middle and was able to grow up with the careful care of the eldest princess. If she was still alive, she would have lived a good life.
I should come and see her.
The long mugwort is extremely lush, covering the entire grave. The desolate scene silently tells the depression and despair in the sleeping princess' heart, and also makes the worshipers heavier.
Qin Lei placed the offerings, kowtowed three times for the original little proton sincerely, and said softly: "Although I have never met you, I can still know the pain in your heart. Let's go home." After that, he picked up a handful of soil from the grave and put it into the porcelain jar in the hand of Iron Eagle.
After doing this, Qin Lei got up and took a deep look at Princess’ tomb, then turned around and strode away.
The tomb still stood alone, facing the west.
A song of eighteen bells, how many resentment leaves tears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The team escorting the proton back to China left Shangjing and headed west along the Dahe River. They had to pass through the twenty-two prefectures of the five provinces of the East Qi, and finally crossed the Huangnidu crossing of the Dahe River. After another 800 miles, they could reach the front line of the Qin and Qi confrontation - Hangu Pass.
Qin Lei already knew that this world was much bigger and different from the original world. At this time, he was studying a military map of Qi that Chen Luo bought with a lot of money in the carriage. The road conditions were not good, and the carriage was so overturned. Chen Luo on the same carriage looked very bad, but Qin Lei was not worried that he would vomit because he had no choice but to vomit.
There was another person in the carriage, Zhang Jianzhi, who was disguised as Master Chen Luo. He followed the Shen family guards to join the large army and rode for two days. He grind the gear until it was bloody and finally couldn't stand it and got into the carriage.
Qin Lei moved his gaze away from the map and smiled at Guantao who was lying on the soft couch, saying, "After passing Yunzhou, we will leave Jingji, and our good friends may come to us at any time."
Zhang Jianzhi smiled tragically and said, "Anyway, the student has no power to tie a chicken, so it depends entirely on His Highness."
Qin Lei laughed and scolded, "If it is a visitor from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will hand you over and save me a piece of food."
The two of them laughed softly. This car was Shen Luo's car. Except for the shock resistance, the other performance was very good, at least the sound insulation was good.
Guantao and Qin Lei fell into the same state at first sight, and it can be said that they both have a slutty and smelly smell, so they are very close.
Guantao said, "Walking for another two days, we will enter the mountains of Ganzhou. Our villain has been waiting there for a long time. Fortunately, the big belly of the Yumeng Army will not come, otherwise it will be not that big seat."
Qin Lei nodded and said, "Yes, the mountains are steep, which is not conducive to the army's development. Yum should not participate in this wave of attack."
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes, his eyes were so bright that he said leisurely: "Then, just treat it as a warm-up."
Qin Lei said firmly: "Yes, warm up!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
Two days later, the convoy entered the continuous mountains of Ganzhou. The mountains of Ganzhou stretched for hundreds of miles, overlapping each other, intertwined with dogs and teeth, and there were mountains outside the mountains. The carriages naturally bumped even more violently, so Qin Lei and the others had to get off the car and change horses and continue moving forward. They walked along the mountain path, and the team was one mile away from each other.
It is late spring, and the fragrance of the mountains is gradually resting, and it is time for the plants and trees to bloom and leaves to accumulate essence. This year, the rain is enough, so the roadsides between the mountains is lush and lush. If it weren't for the dangers all the way, it wouldn't be a pleasant journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The team stayed overnight at dawn and rested in the mountains at night. Qin Lei asked Chen Luo to send a scout and personally arranged for the night before going to bed. Everyone saw that he was well-organized at a young age. Although he was a little reluctant, he still carried out the execution.
One day, the team entered a mountain road with high cliffs and woods. Qin Lei was angry and clearly told the scouts to report the terrain that was easy to set up an ambush, but such a mistake occurred.
He was about to order the team to stop when the raid began.
Several huge rocks rolled down from one cliff, carrying countless small stones, and hit the marching team like rain. Qin Lei had no time to restrain the team, so he could only loudly order them to lie down in scattered areas.
The stone rain fell violently. The soldiers with shields raised their shields one after another, and small pieces of falling rocks hit them and thumped. If they were unlucky, they would be broken at the least, and the bones would be broken at the worst, and they would be directly pressed underneath, making their flesh and blood.
Some soldiers without shields ran around, hoping to escape the disaster by chance; some curled up on the ground and hugged the back of their heads, praying for the blessing of God and Buddha. For a moment, screams, wails, curses, and sounds shook the valley, and overwhelmed the sound of falling rocks.
Almost at the same time, a whistle sounded, and hundreds of men in black rushed out of the forest on the other side, and rushed to the central army where Qin Lei was at full speed. The Shen family guards stood up one after another regardless of the rocks that still slipped, and met the enemy. Suddenly, the sound of killing filled the valley.
Tie Ying stared at Qi Jun who was fleeing away angrily, spat, drew his sword to protect Qin Lei.
Qin Lei was not injured by the falling rock just now. He saw the Shen family guards bravely but disorganized to resist the enemy's attack. The Shen family guards, who had the advantage in numbers, were in a difficult situation.
From time to time, the Shen family guards were attacked to death.
Qin Lei's eyes were so angry that he shouted at Shen Luo who was rushing in a hurry: "Collapse the team behind, bring them to me in groups of five." His voice was angry and unquestionable.
Shen Luo slandered his arm when he fell just now, and bared his teeth and said, "Okay!" He didn't care about cleaning up the wound, took out a whistle and blew hard twice.
Guards gathered one after another, and Shen Luo divided a group and sent it to Qin Lei. Qin Lei stared at the situation on the battlefield and threw a group over there whenever he was in a hurry. The new guards had already seen the situation on both sides clearly, and often rushed up to save their companions, or even directly killed the enemy. They also brought Qin Lei's tactical intention: not seeking to annihilate the enemy, just protect themselves.
Through the allocation of personnel, Qin Lei gradually divided his guards into three groups, supporting each other, supporting each other, and stabilizing his position. The advantage of numerical personnel gradually reflected and the situation gradually reversed.
The enemy gradually discovered that no matter where they attacked, they would face four or five people, and they had to retreat in a mess and gradually had no intention of fighting.
A whistle sounded from the mountains and forests, and the assassins attacked for several powerful moves, left more than a dozen corpses, and ran back to the mountains and forests quickly.
Qin Lei shouted loudly: "Don't come in with the forest!" He stopped the guards' pursuit. The dispatch just now saved everyone, and his words also gained prestige. The guards stopped, and under the leadership of Shen Luo, he treated the wounded and buried the dead. The joy of retreating to the enemy was wiped out by the deaths and injuries of his comrades.
The battle comes and goes quickly, with less than a stick of incense in front and behind.
~~~~~~~~~~
Qin Lei was relieved of the troubles when Shen Luo cleaned up the mess. He found a stone to sit down and asked Tieying, "Mr. Jianzhi was not injured, right?"
The battle of the Iron Eagle did not take action. He was a little depressed and said in a urn: "No, the stone fell and hid under the car. He just came out."
Qin Lei imagined Zhang Jianzhi's embarrassment, and couldn't help laughing, and his depressed heart became much smaller. He ordered: "Go and invite Mr. Guantao to come here."
