"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Dahuang City. Should we enter the city?"

The group rushed all the way and finally arrived at Dahuang City, the seat of Dahuang County, the southernmost part of Bingzhou, the next day.

The reason why Dahuang County is called Dahuang County is because almost half of Dahuang Mountain, the largest mountain range in the south of Bingzhou, is located in Dahuang County.

Therefore, Dahuang County is probably one of the largest counties in Daqin.

The county seat, Dahuang City, is located at the foot of Dahuang Mountain.

"Let's go into the city. We've been traveling for so long, almost even at night. It's time to rest.

At the same time, we should also inquire about the news in the city."

Zhao Xin nodded.

Then he asked Cao Xiong, "Does the East Factory have any spies here?"

Cao Xiong hurried forward and said somewhat sadly, "The East Factory is no longer as it used to be. Although it had offices in the past, it has long been in a semi-abolished state, with not many staff left. Moreover, it has been a long time since we last checked it, and I don't know if it is reliable!

The situation of the Imperial Guards is basically the same."

Zhao Xin frowned slightly. The ruling power of the Qin court was really weak.

It's basically fine in the capital, but once you leave the capital, you will feel so powerless.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. This place is already close to Nanzhou. If we go further south, if it weren't for the Great Wilderness Mountain, we would be at the frontier of King Qi's current territory.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of sending troops to the Great Wilderness Mountain, it would almost be the front line.

However, the tentacles of King Qi must have already reached here.

"I am ashamed!"

Seeing that Zhao Xin didn't say anything, Cao Xiong couldn't help feeling ashamed. He felt that he was useless and could not share the worries of His Majesty.

"Whether you're ashamed or not, we'll talk about it when we get back. Now let's go to the capital first, shall we?"

Zhao Xin waved his hand, but didn't blame him.

Whether it is the East Factory or the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they are ultimately the continuation of imperial power. If the imperial power is strong and the people below do not do well, that is their business.

The imperial power itself has fallen into the hands of others, so what's the point of blaming them?

"Yes."

The group immediately rode their horses slowly into the city.

But as soon as he reached the city gate, he was suddenly stopped by the gatekeepers.

"Stop, are you blind? Don't you see the chess and cards that say 'Silence and Avoid'?"

A man who looked like an officer but had a big beard and an obvious bandit air was looking at them with ill intentions.

As he spoke, he pointed to the two flags leaning against the city gate, which had the words "Silence and Keep Away" written on them.

"presumptuous!"

When Cao Xiong saw that someone dared to stop the emperor, he became furious.

Looking at the flag again, he couldn't help but frown.

Just as he was about to speak, someone in the crowd suddenly said, "What kind of flags are these? When did our Great Qin have such ceremonial objects? Why are they still placed at the city gate?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xin and the others couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice. They saw that the speaker was a burly man with a large sword on his back. He was really tall. Zhao Xin and Li Cunxiao were also tall people.

The latter is even more burly.

But it is far inferior to this strong man.

The big knife on his back is equally exaggerated.

It looks like a one-handed machete.

But from the handle to the blade, it is probably not inferior to the ordinary horse-riding long sword.

It is wide and big, similar to the Yishan door panel.

Even Zhao Xin couldn't help but gasp when he saw this big knife.

My goodness, it takes a lot of strength to wield such a big sword.

When he saw this person, he suddenly felt as if he had entered another world, a world of high-level martial arts.

Then my eyes lit up. This is a talented person.

Regardless of anything else, just the strength to wield such a large sword qualifies him as a personal bodyguard.

This big knife can also be used as a shield at critical moments, right?

He immediately echoed, "Yes, this great hero is right. We have never heard of such things appearing in the Qin Dynasty. Some bandits who don't understand etiquette have made these things, but the government has never used them!"

As the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he really didn't know when such a thing appeared in the Qin Dynasty.

Although it was a sudden intrusion, there was no reason for it, and he had no idea that these things were created.

But after he finished speaking, he heard Cao Xiong whisper beside him: "Sir, it was used by the Qin Dynasty. It was used during the Xuanwu period, but it was later abolished."

"Xuanwu, that's the reign title of Emperor Zhenzong, right?"

Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought that the King of Qi seemed to be a descendant of Zhenzong's lineage.

Sure enough, the gatekeeper sneered, "Little brat, what do you know about the Great Qin regulations? This is the banner of the Prince of Qi!

If you know what's good for you, get out of here right away. If you rush towards the prince, you'll lose your head!"

Before he finished speaking, the people behind Zhao Xin immediately heard the sound of weapons being unsheathed, and even Xiao Cui drew out the small sword she carried with her.

"What are you doing? Do you want to... rebel?"

The city gate officer was shocked when he saw this, and the crowd was in an uproar.

Zhao Xin was also very angry. An emperor was at the gate of his own county city, but was blocked by the flag of a rebel.

It would be strange if I wasn't angry.

However, the purpose of his trip has not been achieved yet, so he cannot reveal his identity or cause a commotion.

He was about to wave his hand to ask the people behind him to put away their weapons.

The sturdy man said again in a muffled voice: "Haha, traitor, as far as I know, isn't the King of Qi a traitor?"

After he said this, the people who were stopped outside the city gate, the ordinary people did not dare to speak, but it was obvious that there were also many people from the martial arts world here, no, they should be called knights-errant.

They all started shouting.

"Exactly, you bastard! How can the officials of the Great Qin refuse to let us, the people of the Great Qin, enter the city just because of a broken sign from a rebel?"

Some even shouted, "Why don't we just kill an official for fun today?"
