On the ninth day of May in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of the King of Qin.
The sky was slightly bright, but the sun had not risen yet.
In the south of Xianyang City, two ancient city gates slowly opened.
An army of 3,000 soldiers walked out of the quiet Xianyang City.
They were either riding chariots, holding spears, or riding horses to protect their surroundings.
They all put on their armor and held their weapons as they silently set off towards the south.
The cold bronze armor reflected a faint glow in the dim light before dawn.
The world was filled with killing intent!
Ying Mu was sitting on a four-horse carriage. He turned around and looked at Xianyang City, which was getting further and further away. His heart was filled with complicated emotions.
He didn't know when he would be able to come back again.
Although, according to the First Emperor's decree, he had to marry Li Shu in May next year.
However, there were many accidents in the world.
This time, he had prepared a lot for South Yue and was very confident.
However, he didn't dare to say that he would be able to come back again on this day next year.
"Hey!"
Ying Mu let out a sigh. He lowered the curtain and looked at the handkerchief on the table.
In the lower left corner of the handkerchief, there were two deformed wild ducks embroidered with the word "Shu".
"This craftsmanship!"
Ying Mu smiled. He carefully folded the handkerchief and kept it in the system space.
This was the token of love that his unmarried wife had sent him last night. He could not lose it.
Otherwise, the next time they met, he might break his leg with a stick.
Ying Mu smiled.
Although they had met by chance on the first day of transmigration, they had never met again.
Other than the marriage bestowed by the First Emperor, the two of them basically had no interactions.
However, the feeling of being missed was really good.
It warmed his heart.
This should be the first person in this world who cared about him, right?
Ying Mu thought with uncertainty.
...........
Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace!
"Zhao Gao, what time is it now? Has Fourth Brother left the city?”
The First Emperor put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the hall.
The First Emperor obviously knew about Ying Mu's departure.
After all, without the imperial edict from the Xianyang Palace, the city gates would not have opened.
Not to mention, Great Qin had brought 1,000 elites and 2,000 soldiers with them.
It was easy to understand that elites were the elite soldiers of Great Qin's army.
The gengongzi was the name of the soldiers who served the corvee, not the regular army.
Instead, they were used for labor, responsible for transporting grain and equipment, building civil engineering, and other work.
In ancient times, when an army went out to battle, there would always be guards or farmers following them.
Their numbers were often twice that of a regular army.
"Your Majesty, it's close to mealtime. According to the report from the city guard, the Fourth Young Master's carriage left Xianyang at sunrise.”
Zhao Gao answered carefully.
It was the same as the twelve hours passed down in the later generations.
During the Qin Dynasty, they had their own way of calculating time.
Or rather, it was the 12 hours of the Qin Dynasty. Starting from 1 am, it was the rooster crowing, dawn, sunrise, food time, no time, noon, sun loss, market, pound day, cattle and sheep entering, dusk, and people settling!
The sunrise was between five to seven in the morning.
The mealtime was from seven to nine in the morning!
In other words, two hours had passed since Ying Mu left Xianyang City.
As for why Zhao Gao was able to deduce Ying Mu's current location…
This wasn't anything strange.
During the Qin Dynasty, there was no cavalry in the Central Plains. Basically, it was infantry and chariot soldiers.
It was already considered fast to be able to travel a hundred miles in a day.
If he considered the road, the load, and the transportation of grain.
The speed of a normal army.
It should be about 30 kilometers a day.
This was also recorded in the art of war.
Thus, Zhao Gao easily calculated the distance Ying Mu was currently traveling based on the time he left.
"Is it almost lunchtime?"
When the First Emperor heard Zhao Gao's reply, he looked at the mountain of bamboo slips on the table and looked outside Zhangtai Palace. His mind was in a daze, and no one knew what he had thought of.
"Prepare the carriage and follow me to the Martial Arts Practice Field!”
He thought of the fist technique Ying Mu had given him last night when he said goodbye. Ying Mu had suggested that he practice more, saying that it could strengthen his body, consolidate his foundation, and relieve his fatigue.
The First Emperor didn't comment on these words.
This was because Great Qin had the four seas and had hundreds of thousands of books. Among them were many fist techniques and sword techniques from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.
There were at least 80 to 100 fist techniques like what Ying Mu had described.
Therefore, even though the First Emperor had verbally promised Ying Mu to practice, he didn't take it to heart.
It was just that the son he valued had left today.
He was temporarily in no mood to deal with government affairs.
He thought of the health preserving fist technique.
He was prepared to give it a try to ease the worries in his heart.
Even the First Emperor was worried!
Even though Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world.
However, it was not easy to make the people of the six countries submit to Qin!
Now, memorials from all over the country were gathered in Zhangtai Palace, and bamboo slips were carried in carts.
Most of them were about the governance of the six states and their people.
"Now, it seems that we need to implement the policy of 'Great Harmony with Qin' as soon as possible.”
"The carriages are on the same track, the books are the same, the actions are the same, the land is the same, the quantity is the same, and the laws are the same as Qin!”
The First Emperor sat in the carriage with his eyes closed. He thought about it and quickly made a decision.
If you can't make peace with Qin.
Then let them disappear completely!
