Chapter 1322: Han Banner World (Part 12) Unbelievable

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 scenes in Han Dynasty. No matter it is severe winter or scorching heat, 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 by + pig + pig + island + novel + www + z +. Unlike here, in this kind of weather, besides staying in the house, there is really no way to make money. There is nothing to do.

"General, we have reached the edge of our control area." Pat Ma walked to 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 driving into the town did not cause any disturbance. Walking to the middle of the town, Gou Yi saw the Juyi Inn. Stepping into the door, the temperature inside the room was almost the same as outside. A middle-aged man wrapped in a thick cotton jacket. The young man was curling up into a ball and taking a nap behind the counter. Looking at his tears, he could actually sleep.

"It's from the shopkeeper. Stay in the hotel." Gou Yi walked up 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 guests there. But today it seemed like we were lucky. There were actually more than a dozen guests coming in this time.

"Sir, how many rooms do you want?" A professional and flattering smile immediately appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

"We've got everything covered for your inn." Gou Yi took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it on the counter with a thump, "Our young master likes peace and quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed. There are other things in your shop. guest?"

"It's gone. How can there be 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 instantly. He suddenly realized that the dogs didn't go out. Aren't you scolding these people outside for being worse than dogs?

The embarrassed middle-aged man opened his mouth.

After saying a few words, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself. "Look at my mouth, it's really a dog's mouth. You sir, don't be surprised, don't be surprised."

Gou Yi was angry in his heart and was about to explode when Lu Chao's voice came from behind: "Forget it, I've been walking all the way. It's been freezing too. Ask the shopkeeper to put charcoal fire into the room immediately and boil some hot water." ”

"Yes, young master." Gou Fang agreed quickly and turned around. Looking at the shopkeeper: "Be careful with your wait. If you neglect me, I'll knock all your teeth out."

"Don't dare, don't dare. I will send all the guests upstairs now. It's such a cold weather. I thought there would be no customers, so the waiters who were helping us have all been sent back. We are the only two in the store. You guys need to rest first." Come on, make a fire and boil the water right away.”

After leading everyone inside, they saw that bungalows were built against the mountain, forming a large yard. In the middle was the horse shed. Gou Yi and his party had no worries about the horses and carriages they had brought. When everyone entered the room, they heard the shopkeeper yelling for his wife to quickly light a fire and boil water.

Wisps of green smoke rose from the inn's chimney and went straight up.

There were very few guests in the inn at 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 felt a touch of sadness. The change in his life must 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 an instant, it was already dark outside. In winter, it gets dark early. An oil lamp in the room was burning with dim light. The brazier was burning cheap charcoal. There was a choking smoke. Lu Chao felt a little uncomfortable. Unable to bear it, I kept drinking boiled water to moisturize my dry throat.

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 looked forward 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 someone 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. In the Eagle Department, there may not be anyone else’s spy. 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 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 like this, and your guards didn't even notice."

"That's because I ordered that no matter what noise you hear today, you are not allowed to come out or move." Lu Chao said with a smile: "Of course, skills like yours Mingtai are very rare in this world."

Mingtai came over and sat directly opposite Lu Chao, "General, my time is limited, so I finally found an excuse to come out alone. I must rush back at dawn."

"Time is enough." Lu Chao nodded and turned to look at Gou Yi: "If you are still wondering what you are doing here, why don't you quickly pour a cup of hot tea for Commander Ming? Thank you for your hard work for rushing all the way."

"Hard work is nothing. Before starting, I must meet with you and confirm all the details. This is not a joke. If you fail, it will lead to death and disgrace, and it will also affect countless people in the family. Life." Mingtai shook his head. "Where are you, are you sure?"

"That's almost it. We have all the weapons, food and fodder. Everything is ready. The only thing left is the east wind. Now I'm looking at you!" Lu Chao said: "What about you, the Black Ice Platform is not monolithic, right?"

"In the past few years, I have been able to take care of everything. If I really can't take care of it, I will find excuses to send them out. When I launch, I will not allow there to be forces beyond my control in the Black Ice Platform."

"The key is timing. I don't care about the recruits Bai Qi trained. The key is the 30,000 Xuanyi guards. If this thing is done wrong, I really have no confidence in taking down Xianyang City with 30,000 Xuanyi guards. . The key to the success or failure of this matter lies in your hands." Lu Chao said: "If you don't have a complete guarantee, you must stay 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. From the looks of them, they had already It was premeditated. (To be continued...)
