Chapter 476
Chapter 476
Dressed as an eunuch, Han Yi was instantly alert. He calculated in his mind the distance from King Zhao's Palace to here. It was at least 30 miles, not too far but definitely not too close, so why did eunuchs and guards appear here?
There are only two possibilities, either King Zhao has some secret operation here, or these people escaped privately.
The second possibility is very low, if it is just an eunuch, the possibility is even higher, guards... but those who can be selected as guards of the royal palace are not low-born, basically they are from official families.
Han Yi guessed and said, "In this case, you should send someone to investigate first. Why did you take everyone in so recklessly?"
Xiang Yan said with a wry smile: "It was true that we sent people to investigate secretly first, and the latter two also captured an eunuch and a guard, and learned that there is an underground palace hidden under these mountains."
Han Yi immediately asked: "The underground palace? What are you doing?"
Xiang Yan shook his head: "These two people don't know either. They only know that the higher-ups sent them to clean up the ruins. The bottom has been dusty for a long time, and some places have collapsed, and even the gates can't be opened. They were sent to clean up these."
Han Yi rubbed his chin and said, "So you took someone there? Why didn't you say something first?"
Xiang Yan said helplessly: "Originally, I wanted to control these people first, and then occupy this underground palace, so that King Zhao would not be aware of the abnormality too early, but after I entered, I just controlled everyone, and unexpectedly moved on the spot. "
Han Yi: ...
This luck is also gone.
However, the earthquake did not completely collapse, and the engineering quality of the underground palace below is really excellent.
Han Yi asked again: "Where are those Zhao Jun who were sent here?"
Xiang Yan said: "Basically they all died in the subsequent earthquake."
Xiang Yan didn't go into too much detail, but Han Yi understood in an instant that they were trapped inside after the initial earthquake, and many people must have died suddenly because of the incident.
Then after the past, Xiang Yan used these Zhao troops to give his army a layer of protection based on guesswork. Although he didn't know how he did it, there should be a lot of Zhao troops.
Han Yi has no way to judge whether this matter is right or wrong. From a neutral point of view, Xiang Yan obviously doesn't take human life seriously, but from his own point of view, these people will not die, and they are only afraid of death if they make trouble It was Qin Jun, so looking at him in this way, he was right.
That being the case, since the matter has passed, there is nothing to say.
Han Yi sighed and said, "In this case, I'm afraid I really can't leave easily."
If it was just an ordinary underground palace, then Han Yi would definitely take people away immediately, but since King Zhao was still sending people to clean up the underground palace at such a critical moment, it meant that there must be something he wanted here.
Now Daqin does have a great advantage over Zhao Guo, but Han Yi refuses to let go of any clues. Daqin has been fighting with Zhao Guo all these years, but even several other countries have been cleaned up, and Zhao Guo has not yet taken it. How tough this country is.
If King Zhao comes up with something strange, maybe he can turn defeat into victory.
Xiang Yan was relieved when he saw that Han Yi was also paying attention, but the next second he heard Han Yi say: "I'll stay here to check, you lead the troops and continue to act according to the previous plan."
Xiang Yan said immediately: "It must not be done, this place is still dangerous, the king must not stay here."
Han Yi squinted at him: "Then is it possible that you want me to lead soldiers to fight and you stay here to investigate this place?"
Xiang Yan: ...
This is really torture from the soul.
A large part of the reason why Xiang Yan came to check before was that the march was smooth and he had extra time, and he originally wanted to report part of the results after the investigation. If it is necessary to continue the investigation, let others take over. If not, then withdraw.
He didn't forget that he was here to fight and earn military merits, so what credit could he gain by staying here to investigate?
His family desperately needs this credit now.
But Xiang Yan didn't dare to really leave Han Yi behind. The incident of Dilong turning over just happened here, and it still feels very dangerous. What if it happens again?
If anything happened to Han Yi, Xiang Yan reckoned that it would be useless even if he found King Zhao and captured him in Qin.
Han Yi also knew Xiang Yan's worry, and he said casually, "You don't need to talk about it anymore, this matter is beyond your control."
Xiang Yan knew very well that since King Zhao was involved, and the other party was still acting in such a secret way, maybe something was involved. If Chu State was still there, Xiang Yan would definitely be qualified to take care of it. Now...forget it, he'd better leave it alone.
But Xiang Yan still persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you send your confidants here to investigate, seeing that the end of the year is approaching, if you go back, your Majesty must be waiting for your return."
Han Yi smiled and said, "Even if I go back to Xianyang now, I won't be able to catch up with the Chinese New Year."
Xiang Yan:? ? ? ? ?
Han Yi looked at Xiang Yan sympathetically and said, "The Chinese New Year will be in five days."
Xiang Yan:! ! ! ! ! !
Seeing Xiang Yan's shocked look, Han Yi couldn't help but almost laughed, but he also knew that the reason why Xiang Yan didn't know the time was probably because he was trapped underground for too long, and there was no way to judge without light or sundial. What time is it, so the judgment of time is wrong.
Xiang Yan was also at a loss for a moment. Originally, he arrived ahead of schedule smoothly, but now this delay has been delayed for a long time compared to the original plan.
Thinking of this, he didn't try to persuade Han Yi anymore. Anyway, he did everything he could, and at worst, he would write a memorial to plead guilty and add a "complaint".
Anyway, Han Yi is not something ordinary people can persuade, so it is better for him to take the blame and make meritorious deeds as soon as possible.
So Xiang Yan said: "This... has been many days later than the original plan, so I will write a memorial to plead guilty, and take people to set off after two days of rest."
Han Yi asked, "Do you have enough people under your command now?"
Xiang Yan said decisively: "Enough!"
In fact, there has never been a saying that there are enough people in wars. The best thing is that there are many more people on your side than the opponent, so that you can fill them to death with crowd tactics.
But the number of people is limited, so it can't be done like this. That's why things like the Art of War were born.
And now Xiang Yan...does not have the face to ask the court for more troops.
Originally, Yan Zheng tried his best to entrust him with a heavy responsibility directly, but he didn't do anything here, and he didn't even see Zhao Jun's regular army. He lost so many people. If the news spread, those who had already He was not pleasing to the eye, and he didn't even dare to think about what would happen to the person who wanted to replace him.
What's more, what should Yan Zheng do if he feels that his face is dull?
The best thing now is for him to win a battle quickly, so that at least he can get over what happened before.
Han Yi somewhat understood Xiang Yan's thoughts, he nodded and said, "Since you are sure, I won't say anything, but don't be too anxious to leave, there are still many soldiers with injuries that need to be healed, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Now, it’s shameful to have to travel hard during the New Year, although it’s not much better here, but at least it can be stable for a while, let’s wait until the New Year is over.”
Xiang Yan didn't hide his little thoughts anymore, he directly said with a wry smile: "If it's possible, of course the last general would also like to, but it's been delayed for so long, if we wait any longer, I'm afraid..."
Han Yi raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I'll tell Ah Zheng to hide the news for a while, and no one will ask you about it."
Xiang Yanlue hesitated and said in a low voice: "But I will not mix these subordinates with fish and dragons, and they may send a message to Xianyang."
Han Yi immediately said: "It's okay, I'll send someone to tell later, if someone dares to send a message, it's best not to let me catch who it is, let me know and wait for the whole family to suffer!"
After hearing this, Xiang Yan couldn't help shivering, this is too cruel, it's already miserable to be missed by Han Yi, and it's a rhythm that can't be overwhelmed by the whole family.
Long Qie on the side suddenly asked: "What if they are not afraid? If they dare to spread the word, there is someone behind them. What if someone wants to protect them?"
Han Yi said: "It's okay. If they dare to make trouble, don't blame me for not giving face. I want to see who dares to be dissatisfied with my decision. Who said that the army must fight immediately when they arrive here? I say it is not suitable, they will say It is suitable for them to lead troops!"
Xiang Yan said in a low voice, "These people can't wait."
Han Yi laughed and said, "Then come on, since they are all so opposed, tell them that from the time they lead the army into Zhao's territory, it will be considered a dereliction of duty if they don't contact Zhao Jun!"
After hearing this, Xiang Yan shut up decisively. He realized that he really didn't need to worry. Since Han Yi dared to let him stay, he must not be afraid of trouble.
Or even Xiang Yan doubted, would anyone really dare to do this?
It has to be said that Xiang Yan couldn't help feeling that it was really easy to do things under Han Yi, as long as you met his expectations, or did not touch his bottom line, then you don't have to worry about everything else.
Even if there are some controversial behaviors in the process of doing it, as long as he feels that this should be done, then he will take both risks and responsibilities.
Before, Xiang Yan wondered why everyone knew that Jun Yue was the number one official in the Qin Dynasty, but he had never heard of anyone who wanted to oppose him, or had any deadly political enemies.
Now he found that it was quite difficult to be an enemy of such a person.
Xiang Yan stayed at ease, while Han Yi was writing a memorial to Yan Zheng.
Xiang Yan didn't dare to disturb him. In fact, it was quite simple for Han Yi to write the melody, and it was almost enough to write it according to the format.
What is more difficult is the family letter. It is definitely not possible to conceal it, but it must also give sufficient reasons.
It's a pity that although he also sent people to clean up the underground palace, he hasn't encountered any special things as a reason.
In the end, Han Yi had no choice but to send the letter out, delaying cannot be delayed, what if Yan Zheng felt that he was missing here too?
As a result, as soon as he sent the letter, someone came to report: "My lord, after the innermost door of the underground palace was opened, a tripod was found inside!"
tripod?Now that Han Yi heard the word tripod, he couldn't help but focus on it. Could this be the real mountain and river tripod that King Zhao said before?
Isn't Daqin's real?
Of course, no matter whether that is true or not, it can only be true now, but Han Yi still decided to go and have a look.
After carefully entering the underground palace, Han Yi discovered that the place where the tripod was placed was supposed to be a grand hall, but because of the overturning of the earth dragon, it has almost collapsed now, only the area around the tripod is still relatively good, and everyone has cleaned it out .
Han Yi walked all the way to the altar and looked up at the tripod. He found that this tripod was much larger than the one on the altar of Daqin, and it was still square, with patterns carved on it but no inscriptions.
Han Yi turned his head and asked, "Is there any inscription inside?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. When they saw the tripod, they rushed to report it. How could they have the time to see if there was an inscription inside?
Han Yi immediately sent someone up to check, but the person who went up couldn't help but exclaimed as soon as he probed in, "Ding Ding Ding... there are people in Ding Ding!"
