The carriage dug two deep trenches in the thick snow and headed towards a town not far away. This town was not big and was located between two mountains. A thoroughfare could be seen from one end to the other. , there are about a hundred households. Although it is daytime, there is not a single ghost on the street. This can be seen from the snow on the street. It is smooth and clean. People are in Maodong. Woolen cloth. Gou Yi, who often sneaks into Han Dynasty, feels a little emotional. You can never see such a scene in Han Dynasty. No matter it is severe winter or scorching summer, those Han people always seem to have endless things to do. Even walking on the streets is a blur. When I'm in a hurry, I often see all kinds of people in restaurants, like evil spirits reincarnated. They clean up a few bowls of rice in a few seconds, stand up, pay, and leave. As they say, time is money! ??Also, in Han, no matter what season or weather, people can always find ways to make money. Unlike here, in such weather, there is really nothing to do except stay indoors. "General, we have reached the edge of our control area." Pat Ma walked to the side of the carriage and Gou Yi said to the inside of the carriage. "I know, it's okay. The person I made an appointment will meet here. After entering the town, I will see a Juyi Inn." Lu Chao's voice came from the carriage, and it sounded like he had just woken up. . "Understood." The carriage drove into the town without causing any disturbance. Walking to the middle of the town, Gou Yi saw the Juyi Inn. After stepping into the door, the temperature inside the room was almost the same as outside. The middle-aged man in a thick cotton-padded jacket was curled up into a ball behind the counter and taking a nap. Looking at his tearful appearance, he was able to sleep. "Shopkeeper, stay in the store." Gou Yi walked to the counter and banged his riding crop on the counter, making the middle-aged man jump in fright. After rubbing his eyes, the middle-aged man finally came to his senses. At this time in previous years, there would be no customers there, but today it seems like we are lucky with this wave of guests coming in. There were actually more than a dozen. "Sir, how many rooms do you want?" A professional and flattering smile immediately appeared on the middle-aged man's face. "We have everything covered for your inn." Gou Yi took out a silver coin from his arms and placed it on the counter with a thud. "Our master likes peace and quiet. We don't like to be disturbed. There are other things in your shop. "Are you a customer?" "No, no, how can there be any customers in this weather when dogs don't go out?" the middle-aged shopkeeper blurted out. After finishing speaking, he saw the face of the guest opposite turned livid, and he suddenly realized, If you don't even go out, doesn't this mean that these people outside are worse than dogs? The embarrassed middle-aged man opened his mouth and babbled several times, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself. "Look at my mouth, it's really a dog's mouth. Don't be offended, don't be offended." Gou Yi was angry in his heart and was about to have an attack when Lu Chao's voice came from behind him: "Forget it. , It was freezing all the way, so I asked the shopkeeper to put some charcoal in the room and boil some hot water. "Yes, sir." Gou Fang agreed quickly, turning around and looking at the shopkeeper. : "Be careful and wait. If you neglect me, I'll knock all your teeth out." "I don't dare, I don't dare. I will send all the guests upstairs. It's such a cold day. I thought there would be no guests. Helper The waiter has been sent back, and we are the only ones in the store. You guys have a rest first, and we will light a fire and boil water soon." They led everyone inside, and there were bungalows built against the mountain. They walked into a quite large yard, with a horse shed in the middle. There was no need to worry about having no place to put the horses and carriages brought by Gou Yi and his party. When everyone entered the room, they heard the shopkeeper yelling for his mother-in-law. Quickly light a fire and boil water. ?? Wisps of green smoke rise from the inn¡¯s chimney, straight up. There were very few guests in the inn this season, and naturally no dishes were prepared. Ten guests came at once, which put the boss in a difficult position. Fortunately, these guests looked fierce and did not say much about his actual neglect. What, Gou Yi and his party brought their own dry food, and just asked the boss to make some hot food for Lu Chao, the woman and the child the woman was bringing. Naturally, there is not much to offer in this small mountain town, just some delicacies from the mountains. However, for Lu Chao, it is rare to eat this kind of farm-style stir-fry, but he ate it with gusto. I remember the last time I ate it, it should be It's better to follow the master when he travels around the world. Thinking of his master Li Ru, who had already traveled to immortality, Lu Chao's eyes showed a touch of sadness. The change in his life should be due to following this teacher. Without him, I would not be where I am now. He has laid a good foundation for himself to enter the political arena and is his most solid backing. After he leaves, everything will have to be on his own.  In a blink of an eye, it was already dark outside. It gets dark early in winter. An oil lamp in the house was burning with dim light. The brazier was burning cheap charcoal. There was a choking smoke. Lu Chao Some couldn't bear it, so they kept drinking boiled water to moisturize their dry throats. No wonder people in the world say that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I remember when I returned from Shannan County and stayed in prison, even a hot meal was a luxury. At that time, I only wanted to I was able to escape from the prison alive, but I never thought that I could disturb the political situation of Great Qin today. At that time, Great Qin was really stamping its feet, and the entire continent would tremble a few times. However, in just over ten years, things have changed and people have changed. Think about it, you are already thirty-seven or eighty years old, and you are about to turn forty when you see it, but your opponent is seven years younger than you. At the age of eight, if I didn't work up, there was no way I could catch up with him. How can I lose to you? Lu Chao thought silently, I have always been stronger than you since I was a child. Although you look very powerful now, I will definitely surpass you. Gou Yi sat silently opposite him, re-arranging the charcoal in the brazier from time to time to ensure that the fire would burn brighter. Although he is now the head of the Eagle Department and is responsible for Lu Chao's most secret affairs, he does not know who he is going to meet here today. Obviously, there are many things about the general that he does not know. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at Lu Chao. "You're thinking about who I'm here to meet, right?" Lu Chao asked softly, seemingly guessing Gou Yi's thoughts. Gou Yi trembled slightly and nodded: "Yes." "Then why didn't you ask?" "When the general wants me to know, he will naturally let me know." Gou Yi said. Lu Chao laughed and said, "I asked you to follow me today. Naturally, I want you to get to know him. The date of our launch is getting closer and closer. You must know this person. I didn't let you know before. There may not be anyone else's spy in the Ying Department. If we can infiltrate others, others can naturally infiltrate us. " "General, I can assure you that the Ying Department is absolutely clean," Gou Yi said quickly. "I don't mean to blame you, I'm just being cautious, because this person must not let others know his identity when we launch the attack. He has always been on a single line with me. There is no relationship between me and him. "There are only two contacts, one with him and one with me. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time." Lu Chao closed his eyes. "General, since we haven't seen each other for a long time, does he have any other ideas now?" Gou Yi asked. Lu Chao shook his head gently, "If you don't know him, you would naturally have such thoughts, but I don't." Gou Yi nodded. With a squeak, the window opened without any wind. Gou Yi's hair stood on end, he jumped up and stood in front of Lu Chao. "Don't be nervous!" Lu Chao stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to pry Gou Yi away. At the same time, a face appeared outside the window. Seeing that face, Gou Yi felt as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole body froze. There, all the blood in the body was almost frozen. The person who came turned out to be the leader of Heibingtai, the leader of Qin¡¯s largest secret spy agency, Mingtai. "Come in when you're here, it's windy outside." Lu Chao said with a genuine smile. Mingtai swept in from the window like a ghost, and closed the window conveniently. "General, your defense is really not that good. I came all the way in, and your guards didn't notice it at all." "That's because I ordered that no matter what noise you hear today, you are not allowed to come out or move. Lu Chao smiled and said, "Of course, skills like yours Mingtai are rare in this world." Mingtai came over and sat directly opposite Lu Chao, "General, my time is limited, okay." It's easy to find an excuse to come out alone. I have to rush back at dawn." "There's enough time." Lu Chao nodded and turned to look at Gou Yi: "What are you doing here? Why don't you hurry up and get it done by Commander Ming. A cup of hot tea. Thank you for your hard work." "Hard work is nothing. I must meet with you to confirm all the details before starting. This is not a joke. Well, it will end in ruin and ruin, and it will also involve the lives of countless people in the family." Mingtai shook his head. "Where are you, are you sure?" "It's almost there. We have all the weapons, food and fodder. Everything is ready. The only thing left is the east wind. Now I'm watching your side!" Lu Chao said: "What about you? , The Black Ice Platform is not monolithic, right? " "In the past few years, I have been able to clean up everything, but it is really impossible to clean up.I will always find excuses to send them out. When I launch, I will not allow forces beyond my control in the Black Ice Platform. " "The key is timing. I don't care about the new soldiers Bai Qi trained. The key is the 30,000 Xuanyi guards. If this thing goes wrong, I really don't have the confidence to take Xianyang City with 30,000 Xuanyi guards. Come down. The key to the success or failure of this matter lies in your hands. Lu Chao said: "If you don't have complete assurance, you must be calm." " The two spoke in lowered voices, but Gou Yi on the side couldn't imagine how the leader of Heibingtai, Yingying's most trusted spy chief, could be connected with the general. Looking at them, they looked like It has been planned for a long time. (~^~)
