I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 146 Is Bai Qi confused?
The Qin army, known as a group of tigers and wolves and with a great reputation, marched in neat square formations towards the outside of the Great Wall.

The black iron armor made a rustling sound and black flags fluttered in the sky.

A ray of golden sunlight from the rising sun shone on the soldiers' helmets, reflecting pairs of suffocatingly cold eyes.

At this time, the people inside the pass were in a panic.

They packed up their luggage and fled in all directions, fearing that they would die here if they were a second late.

Bai Qi's all-out move was like a desperate move.

If we lose the battle today and allow the Chu army, which has a long-standing feud with the Qin State, to invade the interior of the country, this place will surely become a living hell.

Although Bai Qi was the leader of the four famous generals in the Central Plains and had never been defeated in his life.

But the people did not dare to gamble. After all, if they lost the bet, the lives of their entire family would be lost!
"What is Bai Qi going to do?"

Jin Chan frowned and said nothing. He couldn't understand why Bai Qi was sending troops at this moment.

Originally, as long as the natural danger and grandeur of Hangu Pass were relied upon, one man could block the passage of ten thousand.

Send out troops at the right time and slowly consume the enemy's strength.

To take a step back, even if they continued to defend their city and clear the countryside, they still had the fertile land of the Guanzhong Plain to provide them with food, and the city of Xianyang to provide them with military pay.

Either option can be considered a strategic approach.

But sending all the troops out to meet the enemy is definitely a bad idea.

It’s no wonder that the people were so scared because of Bai Qi’s unwise decision.

but.

Although the people inside the city were demoralized at this time, the soldiers left to guard the city did not stop the people from leaving.

Instead, they opened the city gates and allowed them to enter and exit freely.

"That old man just now was the world's number one general, Bai Qi? I don't think he's that great. I guess he's just getting old and his brain isn't working well anymore!"

If even Tang Qianyan could analyze the situation, how could Bai Qi, who was known as the Butcher by the world and terrified the six Central Plains countries, not know it?

Although Jin Chan didn't understand why Bai Qi did this, he absolutely believed that Bai Qi would not betray the Qin Dynasty and was not senile.

In the Qin court, although various forces were intertwined, there were many parties and each one operated independently.

However, even if they betrayed Ying Lou, they would never betray Da Qin.

Even people like Lu Buwei and Ying Qi are like this.

"Let's go to Xianyang!"

Jin Chan mounted his horse, glanced in the direction Bai Qi left, and then spoke to Yan in front of the hall.

"Don't you want to see the results?"

Although Tang Qianyan was curious, he also got on the horse.

"No, Bai Qi has his own intentions. Since we can't change them, we might as well enter Xianyang as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Jin Chan rode his horse and galloped towards Xianyang.

"Why do you sound like the King of Qin?"

After Tangqianyan muttered to himself, he also rode his horse and followed.

Hangu Pass is about two months' journey from Xianyang, and it would take more than a month even if one travels day and night.

Li Xin and Xiao Luoyang entered Qin from Sanguan, and they were able to meet up just before they reached Xianyang.

After entering Guanzhong, Jin Chan kept on traveling.

But he also had a strong interest in the customs and people's lives of the Qin Dynasty.

After all, with these two bodies, Jin Chan has been staying in the Peach Blossom Spring in the Southern Wilderness for twenty years, and it has only been a month or so since he left the Southern Wilderness.

Although Ying Lou lived in the Qin territory for the King of Qin, due to health reasons, he had almost never left Xianyang City since he was a child.

Less than half a month later.

Jin Chan finally experienced the charm of Qinchuan.

Guanzhong is different from the southern wilderness with its towering mountains and winding rivers.

To its south is the majestic Qinling Mountains, to its north is the loess plateau, and between the two is the endless fertile plain, like a painting spread out flat.

This vast plain is also the core of the Qin Empire.

Although the Qin people were warlike, they were also hardworking and simple.

Along the way, Jin Chan often stayed overnight in villages along the way in order to understand the lives of the people.

The honest villagers not only treated the two people to good food and wine, but also did not charge them a penny.

Even if Jin Chan secretly left some silver the next day, it would be "aggressively" stuffed back by the other party before he even left the village.

Some elderly Qin people heard that Hangu Pass had become a battlefield between the Three Kingdoms and was facing the risk of falling at any time.

He was so angry that he picked up the farm tools and rushed to the front line to kill the enemy.

Such brave and sturdy appearance is worthy of the people of the Qin Dynasty.

"Brother Jin, you Qin people are really nice. I want to stay here!"

Tang Qianyan, who was riding on a horse, was munching on the fruit given by his fellow villagers while speaking excitedly.

"The Qin people are simple and honest. Although not all the Qin kings were wise and virtuous, none of them were incompetent and unjust. In addition, in the past few hundred years, the previous kings allowed people to express their opinions freely and issued orders to the world to seek talents. This is why we have the prosperous and powerful Qin today."

What Jin Chan said was not false. Today, the Qin Dynasty was at the forefront among the seven Central Plains countries in terms of national strength, territory, civil officials and military commanders.

And this cannot be achieved overnight.

For example, Ying Lou’s father also relied on Lu Buwei’s political means to achieve the country’s current strong strength.

It was because of the great general Bai Qi who followed him that his grandfather, King Zhao of Qin, was honored by later generations as the God of War of the Qin Dynasty.

"Brother Jin, I heard that the current King of Qin is weak and only has half his life left. Not only is the court controlled by Lu Buwei and the royal family, but even his mother Zhao Ji often has affairs with other men. I heard that she is pregnant and has gone to take care of the baby. She is also planning to make the bastard in her belly the next King of Qin in the future."

"Brother Jin, you are also a member of the royal family. Why don't you take advantage of the chaos to rebel? Then you can ascend the throne and become the king, and give me the position of prime minister!"

In front of the hall, Yan was instigating Jin Chan in a servile manner.

"roll!"

Jin Chan only used one word to reply to the guy in front of him and didn't want to say anything more.

Gradually the night grew dark.

Because there were no villages along the way, the two people who had been traveling all day could only light a bonfire on the spot and spend the night.

at this time.

Xianyang city in winter.

Although there was no snow yet, fire had already started in the Afang Palace.

This also made Ying Lou, who was lying on the couch, not feel cold after waking up.

"My king, the meal is ready!"

The young eunuch in the bedroom was seen kneeling beside the bed, holding up a black leather robe in his hands, and speaking.

Since Yinglou's health had almost recovered a few days ago, the Book Keeper and Huayang, one returned to the Lanshu Tower and the other returned to the harem to continue taking care of the pregnancy.

"Are there any urgent reports these two days?"

Ying Lou was sitting on the bed wearing a white shirt, leaning his right arm on the armrest and rubbing his slightly swollen temple.

His face was still a little pale, and his body seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"Replying to the king, there was indeed an urgent report from Hangu Pass today. The officials in the court debated for a whole day and only dispersed an hour ago."

Because Jin Chan had to travel during the day these days, Ying Lou specifically instructed them not to disturb his rest.

"Bring it to me!"

After putting on a robe made of animal skins, Ying Lou sat at the desk in the bedroom. He didn't even bother to eat the food on the table. He picked up the memorial from Hangu Pass and began to read it.

"How could this be?"

Ying Lou's face changed drastically.
