Qin Gong

Chapter 738 News from Shangjun

"Look! Quick!!"

"what happened?"

"coming……"

In Shangjun, Gaonu City, amid the exclamations, many confused people saw a wooden trailer slowly approaching in the crowd before they had the chance to ask too many questions. Next to the wooden trailer, there were Qin officials guarding it on all sides.

At this time, as the wooden trailer approached, the people who were originally watching finally saw clearly that there was a head hanging on the top of a wooden pillar on the wooden trailer.

Seeing this scene, the people around were confused at first, until they heard that the head was the head of the Xiongnu Khan, Touman, then the people on the whole street burst into loud shouts in an instant.

"Touman, the leader of the Huns?"

"Is it the head of Hunnu Chanyu Touman? How could he be killed? Who killed him? Who has the ability to do this?"

"I do not know!"

There was an endless stream of noisy and chaotic exclamations and discussions. As a city north of Shangjun, the people of Gaonu City hated the nomads in the north the most. That time, the Huns burned, killed, looted, and acted recklessly. It was only because they had a small number of people that this was the case. If there were a large number of Huns, they would have destroyed cities one by one, and all the people in Shangjun would have suffered.

Therefore, when they learned that the head hanging was the head of the Xiongnu Khan, the people of Gaonu City were all stunned.

How could the head of the Xiongnu Khan, who was in the far north, be here?
Who killed the Xiongnu Chanyu? And why was his head sent to Gaonu?

on the street.

More and more Gaonu people came out of the shops, small houses and teahouses on the street. People from the alleys also rushed to watch the excitement after hearing the news. As the news spread, countless doubts arose in people's minds.

As a new city, the houses on both sides of the street were still very new. In the midst of the crowd, a scholar finally plucked up the courage to ask the Qin official what happened and where the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu would be sent.

After hearing Qin Li's answer, the originally confused people finally understood that the head was sent by Daliangzao and was now being sent to the tombs at the foot of the mountains.

Qin Li's voice was not loud, and compared with the noisy streets, it was negligible.

However, this inconspicuous answer made the people who heard it freeze in place, with their eyes instantly red.

Made in great quality!
Nowhere else are people more sensitive to this title than the people of Gaonu.

As for the so-called 'tombs under the mountains', no one knows what they mean.

"Da Liang Zao!"

"It's Dairyōzo!"

The people who came back to their senses felt a lump in their throats. It was hard to imagine that after hearing the name Daliangzao, both the middle-aged men and the old men turned around excitedly, shouting that they wanted to go home and get the few rice and millet they had.

"It was Touman Chanyu who was killed by Daliang!"

As the news spread, people in the crowded crowd became visibly excited, with an indescribable tremor in their eyes.

It’s not that Daliangzao is a high-ranking official of the Qin State, but the man who now serves as Daliangzao is the people of Gaonu, a person who is engraved in their bones and will never be forgotten for the rest of their lives.

Bai Yan!

The official who came to Gaonu City to take up his post.

In Gaonu City, under the scorching sun, as all the people learned that it was Bai Yan who personally led the troops to kill the Xiongnu Chanyu and ordered people to send his head, everyone, young or old, knew that Bai Yan was taking revenge for what happened that year and comforting the soldiers who died in the battle.

Likewise, the people of Gaonu ran back home one after another. The rich brought wine and meat, and the poor took a few buckets of millet. They left the city together and came to the foot of the mountains.

Half an hour later.

Just at the foot of the mountains, in front of dozens of tombs, the figures of Gaonu people were everywhere. Men, young and old, were busy putting rice and pouring wine, and women, no matter how weak, were busy pulling weeds.

Looking at the whole world, I am afraid there is no other place where such a scene can be seen. In front of thousands of tombs, the people of Gaonu City are standing, with serious faces, as if they are offering sacrifices to their relatives, carefully and seriously.

Next to thousands of tombs, a Qin flag stands upright. The flag would flutter in the wind from time to time, and the word Qin on it seemed to have once told the stories of this place.

And it was in Xianyang, thousands of miles away.

In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng, who had just returned from an inspection tour, had been handling government affairs for a long time and was preparing for his second tour. This time he was going to Qi County and Langya County, to offer sacrifices to heaven and to offer sacrifices to heaven and heaven on Mount Tai, and to have a good talk with the gentry in Qi.

"His Majesty!"

In the study, Li Si was bowing to Ying Zheng, preparing to tell him something.

Ministers such as Feng Quji, Wang Wan, Wei Liao, and Xin Sheng were standing aside, along with the young Prince Fusu. Fusu, who was already as tall as Ying Zheng, was also wearing the clothes of a Qin prince. He stood aside patiently and participated in the meeting.

But before Li Si could speak, he saw a eunuch hurriedly coming into the study.

"Your Majesty! The county has sent us bamboo and silk!"

The eunuch knelt on the ground, holding the bamboo slips in his hands.

Hearing the eunuch's words, Feng Quji, Li Si and others were all surprised, and then looked at each other in silence.

"bring here!"

Ying Zheng was kneeling behind the wooden table. When he heard the news from Shangjun, he immediately asked Meng Yi to bring the bamboo slips.

At this moment, all Ying Zheng's mind was filled with the secret letter that Bai Yan had sent him last time. If Bai Yan had not sent the secret letter privately, Ying Zheng would probably not have known until today that Qiang Wei had already secretly harbored the intention of rebellion.

After receiving the news, Ying Zheng couldn't help but worry about Bai Yan's safety.

Ying Zheng never dreamed that after he had instructed Bai Yan to pay attention to his personal safety and to tell him that if the northern border was lost, it could be taken back, Bai Yan would go alone to Yuezhi, a land with which he had a blood feud.

If Ying Zheng were given another chance, even if Bai Yan knelt and begged for ten days, half a year, or even longer, Ying Zheng would not agree to let Bai Yan leave Xianyang.

"His Majesty!"

Meng Yi took the bamboo slips from the eunuch, turned around and came to Ying Zheng, handing the bamboo slips to Ying Zheng with both hands.

Under the watchful eyes of Feng Quji, Fusu and others, Ying Zheng was just about to open the bamboo slips when another official came hurriedly into the study.

"Your Majesty, Ying Pi and Ying Huai are outside the palace asking to see you!"

The eunuch reported.

After these words were spoken, Li Si and Feng Quji in the study frowned and then looked at Ying Zheng.

In the past, when Ying Zheng was on inspection, he learned that the Qiang people had the intention of rebellion, and he was soon suspected by the Ying clan. On his return, he specially stayed in Yongcheng. On that day, all the Ying clan members did not dare to show the slightest disrespect to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng also quickly found out that his elderly uncles Ying Pi and Ying Huai were not in Yongcheng.

Now that Ying Pi has returned, he must have explained his previous whereabouts.

"Bring it in!"

When Ying Zheng heard that Ying Pi was asking for a meeting outside the palace, he did not take it to heart. At the moment, Ying Zheng was worried about Bai Yan's safety.

As he spoke, as the eunuch took the order and left, Ying Zheng also opened the bamboo slips in his hand. He took a glance and his eyes widened instantly. After two breaths, his expression shook, and a sudden excitement filled Ying Zheng's entire face.

"Good! Great good!"

Amid the puzzled gazes of Feng Quji, Li Si, Wang Wan and others, they saw Ying Zheng holding the bamboo slips, and he became so excited that the whole company burst into laughter.

Seeing this situation, Feng Quji, Li Si and others were all confused. After looking at each other, they looked at Ying Zheng with some doubts, not knowing what had happened in Shangjun.
