"Sir, are you really going to Shu? I heard that the roads in Shu are difficult to traverse, and it's even harder to climb to the sky. Moreover, if you're not familiar with the terrain, you'll be easily attacked by the rebel army, right?”
In the North Palace, in the Crown Prince's Residence, Ying Zheng, who had already become the Crown Prince, was sitting beside Zhao Mu. He was a little worried. To him, in the entire Great Qin, even his mother, Lady Zhao, was not as important as Zhao Mu.
His knowledge, his martial arts, and his political cultivation were all taught by Zhao Mu. Even his growth was brought up little by little by Zhao Mu.
He could not forget the days when he was hiding in Zhao. It was this man in front of him who protected him and his mother.
"You should practice your sword and study hard. The things in Shu are not as difficult as you think. To me, it's just a rebellion. The only thing worth being wary of is the environment in Shu.”
"I will be back in at most a year. At that time, I hope to be able to make significant progress in my knowledge and sword arts. When you ascend the throne in the future, I will give Tianwen to you.”
Zhao Mu said.
Ying Zheng showed a happy smile and said,""Thank you, sir."
The Tianwen Sword had always been his teacher's sword, and Ying Zheng was very excited to get it.
The master and disciple chatted casually. When the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Mu was sent out of the North Palace by Zhao Gao and rushed to his own mansion.
"How is the Network?"
"Sir, don't worry. The network is already on track. However, there are still very few experts. Most of them are from all walks of life. Ordinary killers can barely assassinate some civil officials, but if it's a Xiantian first-class expert like Xiang Yan, there's really no hope.”
Zhao Gao replied, his tone filled with annoyance. His martial arts skills were not high and he was young. Sometimes, he could not suppress some of the people in the network.
"When we return from Shu, I will give you a martial art.”Zhao Mu thought of a martial art, but he had not triggered the system's mission for a long time. He did not know if there was any other way to get this martial art.
When Zhao Gao heard Zhao Mu's words, he was delighted. If he had the same martial arts skills as Zhao Mu, who would dare to defy his discipline?
"In addition, you can look for some famous swords first. In this world, the most attractive thing for swordsmen is a famous sword. At that time, perhaps we can let these people enter the net to serve us.”
"Yes."
After instructing Zhao Gao on the next step of the development of the network, Zhao Mu returned to his residence. He built a three-story small pavilion in his residence. This small pavilion was called the Locking Sword Pavilion.
He planned to use it to place the famous swords that he had defeated and seized.
Mo Mei was placed on the second floor. Zhao Mu knew that if his actions were to spread, countless swordsmen would be resentful and come to challenge him. However, this was exactly what he wanted.
With his current realm, he was still unable to naturally use the fifteenth move of the Thirteen Lethal Swords. Only by honing himself with countless swordsmen could he truly push forward his swordsmanship realm.
The next day, he packed up his luggage and locked up the Locking Sword Pavilion. He ordered the people from the Network to guard it closely before he brought his men to Shu. This time, he brought Wang Jian's son, Wang Ben and Meng Ao's son, Meng Wu.
There were also 10,000 Dragon and Tiger Cavalry who had just been formed and expanded. However, according to the current road conditions, the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry would have to pay a price if they wanted to enter the Shuzhong Road.
Wang Ben was only eighteen years old this year, and he didn't look like a famous general who would destroy the country in the future. Meng Wu was also the same age as him.
Wang Jian and Meng Ao admired Zhao Mu after the battle with the allied forces, so Wang Ben and Meng Wu were allowed to stay by Zhao Mu's side to build a good relationship with him.
To enter Shu from Qin, one needed to go through the Golden Bull Road (from Mian County in Shaanxi Province to the southwest, across the Chessboard Pass to Sichuan, and through the Chaotian Posthouse to Jianmen Pass). The Golden Bull Road was a road that the King of Shu, who was deceived by King Huiwen of Qin, spent a lot of manpower and material resources to open up.
For example, the area around Chaotian Posthouse was a boardwalk, and the road was extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, they were not in a hurry, so they could advance steadily. The battle reports in Shu were constantly sent to Zhao Mu, allowing him to have some understanding of the situation in Shu. At this moment, the one guarding Shu was Sima Cuo's eldest grandson, Sima Ying.
As the eldest grandson of Sima Cuo, although his military talent could not compare to Wang Jian and Meng Ao, he was still one of the best in the world, so he was still able to stabilize the situation.
When they arrived at Chaotian Posthouse, the sky was not beautiful and it started to rain.
"Great General, because of the continuous rain, many of the boardwalks in front have collapsed. If we want to go over, we might have to rebuild them.”Meng Wu walked into Zhao Mu's tent, drenched.
Zhao Mu put down the bamboo slip in his hand and nodded."Then let's repair the road first. Tell the soldiers to pay attention to their safety and not rush them.”
"But, Great General, there are wars everywhere in Shu. If we delay time like this, I'm afraid General Sima won't be able to hold on.”Meng Wu said worriedly.
Zhao Mu raised his head and looked at Meng Wu." Sima Ying is the eldest grandson of General Sima Cuo, after all. He has a strong family background. It won't be so easy for him to be defeated by the Shu army. You have to know that we only have ten thousand people. If we rush to repair the road, with the steep terrain of the Golden Bull Road, at least half of our people will be gone before we reach the Shu army. Don't worry."”
Meng Wu saw that Zhao Mu was confident. Although he was still worried in his heart, he still retreated in the end.
Outside, Wang Ben had already begun to instruct the Dragon-Tiger Cavalry to place the horses in place and repair the damaged plank road. The rain was not heavy, and as long as they were careful, there should not be too many casualties.
Meng Wu walked to his side and said," The general wants to repair the plank road. Tell our brothers to pay attention to their safety and not be too anxious."”
"Yes." Wang Ben nodded.
(Sima Ying's story was compiled. It was not found who was guarding Ba Shu during the time of King Zhuang Xiang. This was only a small plot. It was mainly to draw out the Yuyuan clan. After all, it was not a historical fiction. It was not to be blamed. Besides, Wang Ben and Meng Wu's ages were calculated based on Ge Nia's age. Ge Nia, Meng Tian, and Wang Li should be from the same generation, and Meng Tian was Meng Wu's son. If there were any mistakes, please let me know in the comments section.）
