A heavy snow fell on the Xianyang territory.

The wind and snow roared all night, and at dawn, it disappeared and became a sunny winter day. As soon as a trace of sunlight appeared in the east, the entire Xianyang City was covered in silver and extremely charming.

The veteran stationed at the East Gate of Xianyang had just rubbed his sleepy eyes and smelled the pure air after the snow, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

A team of patrolling soldiers walked past the city gate, and their boots stepped on the newly falling snow, making a creaking sound, making people feel the silence of the morning even more.

The red sun quickly burst out, and the garrison troops on the city suddenly found a group of soldiers wearing black armor in the snow light, walking along the official road in the east of Xianyang.

"There are about 3,000 troops coming towards Xianyang." A captain looked at the approximate number and reported to Guo Zhen, the commander of Xianyang who rushed to hear the news.

Since Feng Jie died in battle, Meng Yi has been the general of Xianyang. However, Meng Yi and Youzhan were busy with the logistics supply of the Qin army and could not be distracted at all, so they recommended Guo Zhen from the Guo family to the second emperor of Qin Hu Hai.

"In extraordinary times, prepare for combat." Three thousand people were a piece of cake for the garrison soldiers in Xianyang. However, Guo Zhen was cautious and still looked like he was facing a great enemy.

Although everyone in Xianyang garrison stared at the team of black-armored cavalry nervously, the team of people walked slowly and did not have any murderous aura.

Gradually, the pair of cavalry approached Xianyang City.

Guo Zhen set up a shed, squinted his eyes, and gradually saw clearly the banner of this team of soldiers in the dazzling snow. It turned out to be Daqin's own cavalry team.

He felt relieved, but even so, he did not relax the alertness of Xianyang City.

Guo Zhenke is not just recommended by Meng Yi. In fact, the one who really recommends him to do this Xianyang Order is Han Tan.

The Xianyang Imperial Capital is now undercurrent. The emperor has not returned in his personal expedition, and all forces want to intervene and get a share of the huge tripod of the Qin Dynasty.

Since Guo Zhen appointed the Xianyang Order, more than a dozen thieves captured by him have been arrested. These people are suspected of tombs openly and secretly, and some are even descendants of various schools of thought during the Warring States Period.

Regarding some real direct descendants of the Hundred Schools, since the Second Emperor did not order the ban, Han Tan also turned a blind eye to Guo Zhen.

While thinking about it, the cavalry had arrived within one mile of Xianyang City and vaguely saw the general in charge wave his hand. The entire team of soldiers immediately stopped in place.

Soon, a cavalry rushed out of the cavalry, holding the official documents high in his hands.

"The general of the former army of the Qin Dynasty, Ren Xiao, was ordered to return to the city. This is a document. Please open the door and check it out." The cavalry shouted while running.

When Guo Zhen heard this, he frowned slightly, and after a moment of pondering, he helped the long sword on his waist and turned to the left and right generals and ordered: "You should keep a close eye on the cavalry team. If there is any abnormal movement, prepare for the battle immediately. I'll go down and take a look."

The two lieutenant generals agreed, and Guo Zhen's figure had disappeared from the city stairs. He was recommended by Han Tan, and his skills were of course not weak.

When the old army at the city gate saw Guo Zhen coming, the young and strong men around him worked together to lift the huge latch and slowly cracked the city gate into a gap.

Guo Zhen asked to wait, but he flashed and walked out through the crack of the door, and then he signaled to lower the suspension bridge on the city tower.

At this moment, the water of the moat brought by the Wei River has frozen from the late winter. When the huge suspension bridge slowly lowered, the strong wind brought up directly blew the floating snow under the moat.

The crystal snowflakes are like little stars in the sun, flashing and flying.

Guo Zhen's figure passed through the wind and snow that was stirred up again. The knight who came to deliver the documents felt a flash in front of him, and a seemingly quiet middle-aged official had already appeared in front of him.

After checking the documents in detail, Guo Zhencai waved his hand.

When the people in the city saw Guo Zhen waved, they completely lowered the suspension bridge. The city gate behind the suspension bridge finally slowly opened.

The cavalry team a mile away kept paying attention to the situation here. At this moment, they also started their actions again and headed towards Xianyang City.

This cavalry was indeed led by Ren Xiao. He came to the city gate, nodded with Guo Zhen, and immediately brought his men into Xianyang City.

The entire cavalry team passed through the East Gate of Xianyang, silently, like a silent dragon.

It was too early at this moment, and there were not many vendors on the streets of Xianyang City. Therefore, Ren Xiao's cavalry team was unobstructed and headed directly towards Xianyang Palace.

Behind Ren Xiao, Hu Hai, wearing heavy armor, pushed the helmet on his forehead, and glanced at the strange and familiar scenes around him, feeling quite emotional.

A few months ago, it was still autumn when I left Xianyang. Now I am entering Xianyang again, but it is the middle of winter.

Zhang Chu was destroyed, Chen She died.

Qin II Hu Hai taught Zhang Han the important task of eliminating the remnants of Zhang Chu. Li Yuanlai was responsible for integrating the prisoners.

As for Sanchuan County facing the north side of Zhao State, there was a veteran Wang Ben in charge, and it should be fine for a while.

Although the Xiang clan's military advances are powerful, they have not yet arrived.

Hu Hai took advantage of the opportunity to destroy Zhang Chu to rush back to Xianyang as soon as possible. After all, the country cannot be without a king for a day.

Judging from Han Tan’s recent secret letters, he has mastered most of the activity bases of the tomb in Xianyang. Now there are several major forces hidden in Xianyang City.

In addition to the most mysterious tomb organization, the Mohist school that has been vanishing has also appeared, including military corpses, legalists, and Yin-Yang schools...

What surprised Hu Hai the most was that Han Tan's secret letter mentioned that the Hu people in the north had frequent activities recently and entered Xianyang in large numbers.

I don’t know how the Zhu family completed the task he once taught him. Hu Hai thought about it and unknowingly came to the front of Xianyang Palace.

Ren Xiao came directly to the palace gate and showed off the token of the second emperor.

The guards guarding the palace gate saw the second emperor dressed in military uniform behind him, and immediately shook his expression. Before he could speak, Hu Hai waved his hand to stop him and entered in a low-key manner from the side gate of Xianyang Palace.

Standing in front of the Wuxin Hall that had been away for several months, Hu Hai suddenly thought of Li Xin who died here in battle. He couldn't help but sigh and stepped forward.

Behind him, Diecui followed closely. Meng Hang, Uppu and Ren Xiao followed a little behind.

Hu Hai looked back at Diecui and smiled and said, "Returning to Xianyang, I know who you want to meet the most, go."

A hint of joy flashed on Diecui's face, and thanked Hu Hai. Accompanied by several palace servants, he walked directly to the palace where Ruizhu was.

Push open the door of Wuxin Hall, and the candle inside has not yet been extinguished. Two familiar figures are still at the desk to review.

When the small Youzhan heard someone pushing open the hall gate, he frowned and said, "It's dawn, maybe it's time for breakfast."

He didn't see Hu Hai coming in, but looked at Meng Yi beside him and said.

But the next moment, Youzhan saw Hu Hai in military uniform at the door and immediately widened his eyes. The next moment, he rubbed his eyes exaggeratedly, opened his mouth wide, and with his unique high notes "Oh" he ran directly to Hu Hai, dancing around Hu Hai, as if he was an actor again.

Meng Yi was much calmer, and although he was surprised on his face, it flashed in a flash.

Hu Hai smiled and said to Youzhan: "He is already an important official in the court, but he is still in a true form!"

Youzhan smiled on his face, and before he could speak, Meng Yi said, "The emperor entered the city early in the morning and must have traveled overnight. Please make someone prepare breakfast."

"There is no hurry to have breakfast, tell me about your affairs these days." Hu Hai talked and laughed, and sat behind the table with two ministers.
