Chapter 194 Go north and arrive at Zhennu Pass!

Soon after, Qin Chi, together with the three daughters Lu Pheasant, Lu Su and Yu Shu, headed north to Tu'an.

While traveling, I saw the picturesque scenery all around, with beautiful mountains and rivers and lush vegetation, which made me feel relaxed and happy.

Qin Chi took advantage of the excitement, chatting and laughing along the way, enjoying the scenery with the three women, and felt very comfortable.

In the luggage, in addition to soft treasures, there are also a batch of rare objects developed by Qin Chi himself, ready to be given to the Tu'an people to show the prosperity of Qin's civilization.

Among them, there is soap with a fine texture, which foams when exposed to water and has extraordinary effects in removing dirt and grime.

Qin Chi keeps soap in his own house, and only gives soap to others.

There is also a jar of distilled wine. The wine is clear in color, full of aroma, and sweet in the mouth. This is made by Qinchi's exclusive secret method and is the best wine!

Furthermore, he also brought the drawings of an improved waterwheel, which can cleverly use water power to irrigate acres of land and save countless manpower.

And new oil lamps use vegetable oil as fuel and are equipped with light-transmitting lampshades. The lighting effect is far better than the old lamps.

In addition, there are two rare items: a thermometer and a compass.

The thermometer is made of special materials and can accurately measure the temperature.

The compass uses the properties of magnets to indicate the direction so that travelers will not be lost.

After all, deep in the grassland, not to mention the Central Plains people, even the herdsmen sometimes get lost.

As for the paper and loom drawings, they are the essence of Qin civilization!

The paper is light and soft, making it easy to write on. Qin Chi didn't bring too much with him on this trip, just a few boxes.

The loom can improve the efficiency of weaving and make the cloth more exquisite. It was also designed by Qin Chi, but it is relatively crude.

He also has a sophisticated version of the loom in his chest, which can be even more efficient, but there is no need to give away the best one.

Finally, Qin Chi specially prepared an improved shock-absorbing carriage.

This car has a sophisticated design and the wheels are equipped with spring shock absorbers, making it smooth and comfortable to drive, even on rugged mountain roads.

The three girls were full of curiosity and admiration for these novel inventions.

Qin Chi explained the principles and uses to them one by one, causing the three girls to nod in surprise!

Along the way, Qin Chi and the three women stopped in the market from time to time to buy various rare items to give to Tu'an's father-in-law.

Whenever Qin Chi picked up a piece of exquisite jade or gorgeous silk and satin, the three girls would joke: "Mr. Qin, are you nervous about meeting your father-in-law this time?"

Qin Chi always smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said: "Why are you nervous? I know it well."

However, there was a hint of solemnity between his eyebrows, but it could not be hidden from the eyes of the three women.

Especially when the group arrived at Zhennuguan, the sight in front of them instantly shocked their hearts!

I saw the towering Guancheng, like an indestructible barrier, guarding the borders of Great Qin!

The city wall is tall and thick, with bricks and stones piled closely together, and remains as strong as ever after weathering the storm.

On the city tower, the garrison soldiers had bright armor and resolute eyes. They were always alert to the invasion of foreign enemies and safeguarded the tranquility of the country.

Walking into the city, the streets are spacious and clean, with a wide variety of shops on both sides, offering all kinds of goods.

Silk, porcelain, tea and other Daqin specialties fill the shelves, attracting merchants and tourists from all over.

The air is filled with the smell of various spices, mixed with the unique wind and sand smell of the border, forming a unique border style!

There is an endless stream of pedestrians, either hurrying on their way, stopping to watch, or doing business. Everyone is witnessing the prosperity of this Guancheng in their own way.

From time to time, the sound of camel bells is heard, and groups of camel caravans pass through the city loaded with goods. They are witnesses of the prosperity of Zhennu Pass and important participants in frontier trade.

In this pass city, Qin Chi and the three women felt the majesty and customs of the border, and also appreciated the prosperity and vitality of border trade. Staring at this magnificent Guancheng, Qin Chi couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

He turned to the three women and said: "Zhennu Pass is an important border town of our Great Qin. The prosperity here is a symbol of the strength of our dynasty."

"This trip to Tu'an will definitely show the majesty and civilization of our Great Qin to the people of Fanbang."

Hearing this, the three girls nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with admiration and pride for Qin Chi.

Yu Shu didn't say much. After all, this grassland has already belonged to Qin!

What's more, because of her relationship, the Tuan clan and Qin Chi became relatives and became a family.

Soon, Qin Chi and others found an inn in Zhennuguan and settled down.

Although the journey was tiring, Qin Chi's mind was filled with ups and downs of thoughts and it was difficult to calm down.

He repeatedly thought about what Lao Zhao said to him in Zhangtai Palace, knowing that this trip was a heavy responsibility and was by no means as simple as visiting relatives.

He recalled Lao Zhao's deep gaze and solemn tone, and became more and more certain in his heart that Lao Zhao must have grasped some key clues or rumors to make this special arrangement for him.

These clues or rumors may be related to the business transactions and personnel movements in Zhennu Pass, or they may also involve certain conspiracies or movements of foreign tribes.

Qin Chi paced in the room, frowning, secretly guessing: "Since Old Zhao has made this arrangement, he must have a deep meaning."

"I have to be careful and investigate in secret..."

He decided to start with the trade in Zhennu Pass and secretly pay attention to various suspicious signs and clues.

Seeing Qin Chi's solemn expression, the three girls knew that he had something on his mind, but they did not dare to ask any more questions.

They silently accompanied Qin Chi, packed his luggage, prepared meals, and supported him with practical actions.

As night fell, Qin Chi sat alone in front of the window, looking at the starry night sky and waiting quietly.

That night, Qin Chi summoned Meng Yi to his room to secretly discuss the situation of Zhennu Pass.

Qin Chi said in a deep voice: "General Meng, during this trip to Zhennu Pass, I want to secretly search for some clues. You are known for your loyalty and bravery. I want to send you to pretend to be a merchant and go deep into the market to find out the news. I don't know what you want. ?”

Meng Yi heard the words and bowed down to accept the order without hesitation: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to my trust and do my best to find out the information to help you."

Seeing Meng Yi being so decisive, Qin Chi felt very relieved. He patted his shoulder and said, "General Meng, this trip is dangerous and dangerous. You need to be more careful. If there is an emergency, you must put your own safety first."

Meng Yi nodded solemnly to express his understanding.

He knew that this trip was a heavy responsibility, but he also knew Qin Chi's trust and expectations for him.

He was determined to live up to his trust and share Qin Chi's worries.

After Qin Chi explained in detail the key points and precautions of the inquiry, Meng Yi quietly left, preparing to start his operation.

……

The next day, Meng Yi followed the plan and pretended to be a merchant, walking through the bustling market of Zhennuguan.

He glanced around, secretly paying attention to the movements around him.

Walking past the stalls selling exquisite jade articles, and bypassing the mountains of leather goods, I stopped from time to time to chat with the enthusiastic stall owners and inquire about some news.
