Chapter 808: Assassination King Kills
The state of Qin made adequate preparations and mobilized 500,000 elite troops to escort the kings of the vassal states to Lishan.
On both sides of the spacious official road is a wall of heavily armed Qin soldiers, and the Qin Emperor convoy is opened by 10,000 forbidden troops, escorted by 2,000 personal guards, and accompanied by dozens of masters above the god master.
It can be described as heavily defended, and even a bird will be disposed of when it comes close.
It was followed by the three thousand black flag troops of the Xia Kingdom, all of whom were cavalry guards, all majestic and murderous, and their momentum overshadowed the Qin Emperor.
Behind the Xia Kingdom is the small alliance between the vassal states, the Wuwei Kingdom, the Zongye Kingdom, the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, the Cangyue Kingdom, the Li Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom, the Kata Kingdom, the Ice Plains Kingdom and the Wasteland Kingdom, nine large and small vassal states.
Behind them are the Bashu Kingdom and so on.
This time, because of Zhang Xian's disturbance, the ranking of the vassal states was a little confused.
The convoy of the vassal states is more than 20 miles long, plus the officials of the Qin army, as many as more than 1 million people, tens of thousands of horses, and nearly 10,000 vehicles.
As Zhang Xian expected, the convoy traveled less than thirty miles after dark.
This is a small city at the foot of Wuyang Mountain;
With so many people, including carriages and horses, this small city must not be able to fit, but the previous alliances went to Lishan, and the Qin State had already arranged that there was a vast camp outside Wuyang City, which was much larger than that small city, and there were no facilities in the camp, just a flat land tamped with loess mixed with sand and stone, but thirty-seven squares were drawn out with drainage ditches.
In the place near Wuyang City, the plot is the largest, which is the camp of the Qin Emperor.
There are no facilities, so you have to do it yourself, among the princes and kings, except for the weakest princes and kings who do not have storage magic weapons, they all have at least one magic weapon, so food and accommodation are still not a problem.
However, those who did not have storage utensils also had tents and cooking utensils in their cars, but they were a little more awkward.
There was a bustle, and the huge venue was filled with small tents.
The early spring nights are quite cold in the northwest.
Smoke hung over the camp, and it grew dark as the weather turned cloudy and the lights brightened.
Because the camp was too large, even if the Qin army had 500,000 horses, it would be impossible to enclose the entire camp.
After coordination, the guards brought by the vassal states filled the gaps left by the Qin army.
Everyone felt that there was no need to be so cautious, so many princes and kings gathered together, which one dared to harass, dare to attack, and purely seek death.
In fact, no one is so bold, and the Qin army and the guards, who have been nervous for most of the night, also feel too nervous at this time, and after changing shifts, the people who haven't woken up are all dazed.
After all, I have to rush tomorrow, and I am not light on my clothes, and everyone is tired.
In the second half of the night, it rained lightly, dripping, drenched and drenched by the night wind, which was very cold, which stimulated some people to get up in spirit.
At this moment, there was a noise in the camp of the Qin Emperor, and then thick smoke rose.
"It's out of the water. β
Someone shouted, and this time it was even more chaotic.
Not only were the people in the Qin Emperor's camp startled, but even the people in the adjacent Xia State camp were awakened.
The smoke of the Qin Emperor's camp was billowing out, and then the flames flared up, but it happened that the northwest wind rose at this time, and the fire suddenly got out of control.
"Someone. β
Emperor Qin was woken up and roared angrily.
The waiter who was waiting outside quickly agreed.
"What happened?"
"When I returned to the Holy Shrine, I went to the water and burned half of the camp. β
"Bastard, bastard, call Wang Changhe to me. β
"Tsk. β
Wang Changhe was appointed as the head of the guard this time, and personally led the two-color personal guards to protect the Qin Emperor.
He was originally left behind in the imperial city, but he was appointed by Emperor Qin to serve as the governor temporarily.
Wang Changhe rushed over with a disgraced face.
"Give me a reasonable explanation. β
"It was a patrolling soldier who accidentally knocked over a lamp and set fire to the material shed, and I was leading someone to extinguish the fire. β
The rain combined with sweat, Wang Changhe wiped two more handfuls, and still became a big flower face.
Quite funny.
"Well, you idiot bastard, why don't you go and gather the guards to find out the spies. β
Qin Huang thought about it and felt that it was a little unreasonable, after all, it was still raining outside, although it was not big, but it would not ignite half of the camp with a single lamp, there was definitely a problem here.
"Wow!"
Wang Changhe was startled when he heard this, which also made him a little alert, and quickly withdrew from the convener's alert.
The tent burned and burned, but it was necessary to keep the Holy Lord's side safe, and to ensure that the assassins did not take advantage of the chaos.
At this moment, the Qin Emperor's camp was in chaos, only the middle position was quite calm, which was where the Qin Emperor's camp was located.
As soon as the Qin army on the periphery saw that the Shengshang camp was running into water, the generals guarding this side arranged it and brought some people over to extinguish the fire.
As everyone knows, his actions have had disastrous consequences.
There were two assassins hidden among these people, and they didn't know how to infiltrate the Qin army, and the general moved to follow.
"General, firefighting is a trivial matter, and our first priority is to protect the safety of the saints. β
An older veteran suggested.
"Yes, that makes sense. β
The general glanced at the veteran and felt a little unfamiliar, but he didn't care too much, there were so many soldiers under his command, and it was impossible for everyone to remember them, especially those who wilted.
Then he arranged for a commander of a thousand to lead 500 men to protect the Holy One.
Among them was the veteran soldier.
There was a smell of cooking oil in the thick smoke, Wang Changhe didn't care about it at first, but out of the Qin Emperor's camp, this smell was particularly pungent, needless to say, this was definitely an artificial arson, and there must be spies in the camp.
He couldn't help but be solemn.
Someone was quickly sent to notify those masters who accompanied and protected Emperor Qin to go to the camp.
And most of these people went to rest in peace, because no one could have thought that someone would dare to assassinate Emperor Qin so boldly.
So they all drank boldly and went back to their tents and slept soundly.
But before the men could arrive, the Assassin made a move.
Qin Huang didn't have the heart to sleep again at this moment, just got out of bed and wanted to change clothes, he felt a cool breeze coming, he was also not low, his vigilance was very high, he picked up the sword on the bedside, and came to a defensive technique that did not seek merit but sought no fault, and put the sword net around his body.
"Ding Ding ......"
With a series of iron crashes, the assassin instantly unstruck out more than a dozen swords, but they were all guarded by Emperor Qin.
"Poof......
In this fight, the assassin's body slowed down, and Qin Mu also found the assassin, he fought back with his sword, but he didn't want the assassin to fly away, and at the same time sprinkled a bag of powdery things at him.
The incident happened suddenly, Qin Huang was caught off guard and inhaled some, but he didn't feel any discomfort, so he swung his sword to chase the assassin, and the assassin's body flickered, and he instantly withdrew from the camp, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Qin didn't dare to chase it out, it was too chaotic outside, and it was even more dangerous.
The Assassin appeared to be very professional, and he was able to fight back, indicating that he was not a hired Assassin.
If the hired assassin does not achieve his goal, he will not give up, he would rather die in battle, because if he fails, there is no way out, that is to say, he is a dead soldier, and he can only succeed rather than fail.
But there is also a difference, like the assassins of the Netherworld Sect do not have this rule, and there is no time limit, of course, this is not an unlimited forgiveness time, it is to leave room for you, if you feel that you really can't complete the task, you can report it, and send someone else to complete it, this is the rule of the ghost mother-in-law, although it is tolerant, but the Netherworld Sect has not seen a negative slack of work.
That's the management problem.
Although the ghost mother-in-law sits in a business without capital, she takes the people of the sect as her own children.
The killer is ruthless, but she touches the people of the sect with her emotions, which is also a strange thing.
The Assassin had been fighting with the Qin Emperor for a short time, and by the time the guards rushed in, the Assassin had disappeared.
The guards knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"If you can't catch the assassin, come back and ask for it. β
Qin Mu had not been assassinated once, and he did not show any rage, but waved them out to catch the assassins.
At this time, several palace masters rushed over.
"We have been derelict in our duties and shocked the Holy Driver, please forgive us. β
"Get up, I'm not weak. β
Having said that, his face was not good, and there was fire in his heart.
But he really can't blame others, he drove them away, and when he thought it wouldn't happen, something happened.
"Holy Lord, your face is not good, you are poisoned. β
One of the old men glanced at Qin Mu and found that his lips were blue and his face was pale, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
This person didn't say that it was better, but when he said this, Qin Mu felt uncomfortable, chest tightness and shortness of breath.
"Quickly pass on to the Imperial Doctor. β
The people in Emperor Qin's camp panicked, because they didn't know what poison he had been poisoned in, so they panicked.
The imperial doctor first fed Qin Mu a detoxification pill, and then pierced his finger to take blood to verify what kind of poison he had been in.
The imperial doctor was a pharmacist, took out a bunch of bottles and cans, and dripped blood into the bottles and cans one by one to see its reaction, so as to test what poison Qin Mu had been in.
Qin Mu's assassination and poisoning were tightly sealed, and the Qin army and personal guards on the inside and outside of the camp were closely protected.
When something happened here, most people's attention was attracted, and Lao Pingxihou, who had drunk a little wine and slept soundly, was ignored.
After the situation calmed down, some guards wanted to report the assassination of Emperor Qin to Lao Ping Xihou, but found that Lao Ping Xihou had no head.
It's time for the fryer.
It means that the main target of the assassins this time is not Emperor Qin, but Lao Pingxihou.
When Emperor Qin heard the report, Lao Pingxihou, that is, his father, was assassinated, and he fainted with a bang.
Solid backers are gone.
The blow was much worse for him than poisoning.
When he woke up, it was dawn, and the rain had stopped.
"Someone. β
"The minions are here. β
"Summoned the Taiwei, the prime minister, the imperial history, and Wu Yuehou. β
The waiter said yes and withdrew.
"What poison did I get?"
He glanced at the imperial doctor who was waiting beside him.
"Back to the Holy One, your poison is no longer a big deal. β
"Oh, let's all go down. β
Qin Mu waved his hand to drive away the idlers.
After a while, the three important ministers and Wu Yuehou rushed over.
"You should also know about the old marquis, the matter is irreparable, the most important thing at present is to keep the news tightly sealed, at this critical moment, there can be no other things, first send someone to send the old marquis back to the mansion secretly, and the secret will not be buried, wait for the end of the alliance in the thick burial, Wu Yue, at this moment, the burden will have to be picked up by you, how to deal with it, the four of you will discuss itγγγγγγγγγγγγγ β
Although the imperial doctor said that the poison he was poisoned was no longer a big problem, he knew about his own family affairs.
On the outside, he looked fine, but he felt his mind swelling and his whole body weak.
And the vitality in the dantian turned gray-white.
He felt that the poison in the middle might be the legendary 'Sangong powder', this kind of poison was difficult to entangle, although it would not kill immediately, but with the passage of time, not only the vitality would be dissolved, but also the dantian would become atrophied until it was occluded, and the cultivation was lost.
It is not as good as ordinary people, because the body is nourished by the vitality to appear active, and if it loses its vitality, then it will age rapidly until the essence and blood dry up and die.
After explaining, he waved his hand back to pull the person back.
"Go and summon Luo Ying (Luo Ying Hou Qin Bian) and Wu Yang (Wu Yang Hou). β
At the critical moment, Qin Mu not only activated Wu Yuehou, who was demoted to an idle official by him, but also summoned Luo Yinghou, the commander of the Imperial Secret Envoy, Qin Bian and Wuyang Hou, who had not shown up.
