Wei Xun did not expect to be besieged by so many barbarians at the border of his country. He deeply regretted letting down his vigilance. Next, he set up sentries on duty at night, and a group of people took over to rest. Since there were no casualties,

Due to the situation, Wei Xuan decided to continue on the road tomorrow.

Everyone dispersed. Wei Xun and Su Qin went to the room where the girls lived to inspect, and saw that they were very calm. Wei Xun gave them some instructions, and then he and Su Qin went to the room to talk.

Su Qin suggested to Wei Xian that he should take Dong Ji as an envoy to Yiqu. Without an interpreter, they would suffer a big loss because Yiqu understood what the Qin people said, but the Qin envoy did not understand the language of the Yiqu people.

Wei Han agreed very much, so he called Dong Ji and asked him to accompany him. Dong Ji refused at first, but Wei Han raised his sword and scolded him: "I am on a mission this time. Your Majesty ordered me to act expediently at any time. If you don't go,

, I will definitely kill him without mercy." Dong Ji's body was shaking and he agreed.

Wei Xian also asked Su Qin to express his views on the enemy that was attacking in the evening. Su Qin believed that this should be an army of Yiqu people, not ordinary horse thieves.

Wei Yan was deeply convinced and said: "King Yiqurong is also too cunning. On the one hand, he came to reconcile the envoys, and on the other hand, he attacked the envoys secretly. It seems that we will encounter many unexpected situations on this trip."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Su Qin said goodbye and went out. He did not go back to the room directly, but went to find Dong Ji. Dong Ji was already lying down, but Su Qin forced him to get up.

Su Qin ordered him to teach him the language of the Yiqu people overnight. Dong Ji pitifully stayed up all night to work, and he cursed in his heart: "I have provoked someone, and got into such a difficult matter."

Su Qin's language talent is extremely high. He is not only eloquent, but also learns languages ​​very quickly. By the fifth watch, Su Qin has learned no less than 200 sentences of Hu people's language, and can have a simple conversation with Dong Ji.

Dong Ji was shocked by his daily conversations.

Su Qin then forced Dong Ji to repeat the sentences he had learned twice before leaving. Poor Dong Ji was so tortured that he fell into a deep sleep without even taking off his clothes.

The team set off on the road the next day and had to cross the rugged Long Pass. Su Qin specially asked Dong Ji to accompany him. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would get close to Yiqu's envoys and listen to their conversations. In addition to practicing the language of the barbarians, he could also

Eavesdrop on what they say.

From the moment they set out, the Hu people thought that Su Qin did not understand their language, so they did not care about his behavior and continued to shout and talk loudly.

Some of their conversations were understood by Su Qin, but some were still unclear, so he could ask Dong Ji at any time. Su Qin pressed hard, almost forcing Dong Ji to collapse. Seeing Su Qin was like seeing a savage beast, but unfortunately he

Unable to escape, I secretly complained in my heart.

The team encountered big trouble when crossing Longguan. Since ancient times, Longguan has been the most important passage to the western grasslands. It has high mountains and long slopes, and narrow roads. In the most dangerous places, the people in the carriage must get off and let the horses pull them.

Only when the car is empty can we slowly climb up the mountain.

However, Su Qin discovered that no matter how steep the mountain road was, one of the carriages in the Yiqu Mission always had its door closed, making it unable to climb the mountain road. A group of people from the Yiqu Mission pushed hard from behind, but the carriage did not move.

items.

Su Qin is even more convinced that Huo Xuan is hiding something important from everyone.

It took a group of people a full day to cross Longguan Road, which was less than 40 miles away. On the way, because everyone spent most of the time getting off the car and walking, Su Qin once again saw the familiar person among the Mohist disciples, Su Qin

Suddenly a doubt arose in my mind: There were six Mohist disciples, so why did only four of them emerge from the battle with the barbarians last night?

He observed carefully and found that the familiar Mohist disciple was always accompanied by another disciple. They got on and off the bus together, ate and chatted together, and even if it was just for convenience, they would go together.

Su Qin thought to himself: "Why do they always act alone? Are these two not disciples of the Mohist family? Then who are they? It seems that this journey is really not peaceful. We should pay more attention and be careful in the future."

After passing Longguan, there is an endless grassland. The grass is withered and yellow, and there is no smell of spring, but the broad view is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy.

Because it was already evening, a group of people decided to rest for the night before leaving. The entourage carried thick felts, leathers and blankets from the car. Su Qin and others built felt bags for the first time. Although there were Yiqu and Dong Ji

Even though I was giving instructions, I was still in a hurry. But in the end, I finally built five felt bags.

At night, a charcoal fire was lit in the felt bag, which was as warm as spring. The west wind howled outside the felt bag, but it was a different scene.

Su Qin was worried about the mysterious items on the carriage of the Yiqu people, and decided to go out to find out what was going on under the cover of night. Therefore, after Wei Xiang and others in the same room rested, he sneaked out.

He approached the suspicious carriage and did not show up in a hurry. Instead, he carefully observed the surroundings for a while and found that no one was specifically guarding the carriage.

During the day, the horses that were pulling the carriage had been unloaded and taken to graze, leaving only the carriage frame there. Su Qin then quietly approached the carriage door. When he opened it, he found that there was nothing inside. It looked like an ordinary carriage.

different.

Su Qin saw that there was no one around, so he simply got into the carriage. He groped for a long time, searching every corner, but found nothing. Su Qin was a little discouraged. Could it be that he had made a mistake or was suspicious?

?

After he got off the carriage, he felt very unwilling and thought: "Obviously the carriage seemed heavy when going up the mountain, so the people in Yiqu pushed it. If it was empty, how could it be like that?"

He decided to check Huo Xuan's felt bag again, maybe the items on the carriage were hidden there.

The Yiqu people's felt bags were about five feet away from those of the Qin envoy, forming a separate group of felt bags. The one in the middle was Huo Xuan's felt bag. It was very difficult to get close.

Su Qin had no choice but to use the breathing technique taught by Gui Gu, three short and two long, alternating luck, silently reciting the secret formula, and the Qi filled the Dantian. Then, he stretched his body and used the strength of his body to tiptoe closer.

.

There was still light shining through the cracks in Huo Xuan's felt bag, and it seemed that he was still asleep. Su Qin looked inside through the small crack in the back of the felt bag.

I saw two people in the felt bag. In addition to Huo Xuan, there was also a thin man. He had narrow eyes, thick eyebrows, and a flat face. He was from Yiqu. Huo Xuan usually shouted "Xiao" among the Yiqu people.

He was very majestic, but now he was respectful, nodding and bowing in front of this Yiqu man.
