"You want to assassinate Meng Tian on his way home?" Zhao Yu was taken aback after hearing Zhao Gao's words. Today's Meng Tian is not only one person, behind him are the 300,000 elite Mengjia army of the empire, and nearly half of the emperor's ** team are Meng Tian's supporters, as well as Meng Tian's friends above the court, Li Si, Wei Yi and others, none of them are ordinary people.

Zhao Yu could imagine that if the news of Meng Tian's death spread above tomorrow's court, I am afraid that not only the court of Qin, but also the entire Xianyang City and even the entire country would be in turmoil.

Zhao Gao closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair behind him, and said, "Then have you thought about it, if Meng Tian is not dead, then it may be the two of us who will die one day in the future." When the time comes, I'm afraid Meng Tian won't have the compassion you have now to forgive us. ”

"But...... After all, it is Meng Tian, he is dead, His Majesty the Emperor is angry, I am afraid that the 300,000 troops of the Meng family will not give up, you want Meng Li and Du Hui, the two most loyal people around Meng Tian, the two of them are very capable. ”

Zhao Gao glanced at his clan brother, if he hadn't entered the palace by himself, how could this fool have today's powerful position, but he didn't expect that after so many years, in addition to embezzling money from the treasury, he was very bold, and how could he return to his original state when he came to this matter.

"You're wrong, no matter how capable the two people you are talking about, so what? They know who killed Meng Tian? Do you think His Majesty the Emperor will let the two of them disturb the peace of Great Qin?"

"Save your worries, no matter how powerful the Meng family's army is, they are all Great Qin's army, His Majesty's army, they are not Meng Tian's own, so even if Meng Tian dies, as long as it can't be found out that the two of us did it, who can kill us?"

Zhao Yu sat on the chair and gradually calmed down, Zhao Gao was right, no one would dare to continue to track down the treasury if he killed Meng Tian. In addition, as long as he cleaned up his hands and feet, who could know that he killed Meng Tian?

"Okay, then we won't do anything and kill Meng Tian to prevent future troubles. Zhao Yu said categorically.

Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Yu and said: "Okay, after the matter is completed, you will continue to be your official, and I will continue to serve in my position, I believe that it will not be long before our strength will change dramatically in the court." ”

The banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion lasted until the time of the Morning, and Li Si, Meng Tian and Li You not only drank the wine from the Western Regions sent by Meng Tian, but also drank a lot of the wine in the Prime Minister's Mansion. By the end of the banquet, except for Li You, who was still quite sober, Meng Tian and Li Si were already drunk and almost unconscious.

Li You ordered someone to call Meng Tian's family general and asked them to carry Meng Tian into the carriage, and then he was not at ease, so he followed these people to escort Meng Tian back to his home.

After the end of the night, a curfew will be imposed on the city, and no one will be allowed to appear on the streets, and if they are caught by the patrol in the city, they will be punished, and they will be fined a few silver taels, and at worst, they will be sent to the border to build the Great Wall.

There is still a period of time before the ion time, so there are still many people wandering around the streets of Xianyang City at this time. The restaurants and brothels on both sides of the road are also open, but they are all drunk gamblers and the like.

Li You rode a horse to the front, behind him were four generals of the Meng family, and then the carriage that Meng Tian was riding, and behind the carriage were four people from the Prime Minister's Mansion who were riding horses

。 A group of people walked on the streets of Xianyang City like this, although there were not many pedestrians along the way, but as long as a discerning person could see at a glance that this was the car of a powerful person in Xianyang City, so many people took the initiative to get out of the way when the convoy was not in front of them.

From the Prime Minister's Mansion to Mengfu, it was necessary to ride a horse for nearly half an hour along the way, and it was strictly forbidden to ride a horse in Xianyang City, so Li You did not dare to move too fast on a horse, so he could only move forward slowly.

While passing through a secluded street, the moon in the night sky also burrowed into the clouds in the sky, blocking the already dispensable moonlight at all.

In the convoy, except for Li You and the subordinate who was driving, everyone who rode a horse had fire in their hands, and they did not delay their progress.

"Goo~~" In the night sky, a startled bird flew up out of nowhere, flapping its wings and disappearing in the eyes of everyone.

Li You inadvertently glanced at it, and saw a silver light shining in the darkness, he instinctively quickly lowered his head, and an arrow flew past his scalp and stabbed into a Meng family general behind Li You. The soldier didn't snort and fell off his horse directly.

"It's not good, someone sneaked attack!" Li Yu didn't have time to react, and blurted out loudly.

Seeing that their companions were shot and dismounted, how could the rest of the knights not understand what was happening, but they couldn't believe that they would encounter a killer who dared to come and assassinate the general in Xianyang City.

Everyone quickly dismounted, and removed a small shield from the buttocks of their horses, and formed a circle around the carriage.

No matter what the killer is here for, Meng Tian's safety is the most important thing, as long as he protects the safety of the general, what does it matter if he is injured.

Li You, like the others, held a sword in one hand and the shield of the soldier who was shot dead in the other, and stood by Meng Tian's side with the others.

After the killer first fired an arrow, there was silence all around, and although everyone around the carriage was armed with torches, there was not a single figure in sight.

Li You didn't dare to rush forward, because he didn't know where the enemy was, and judging from the direction from which the arrow came from just now, there might be an enemy ambush in front of him. If you rush forward, I am afraid that you will step directly into the trap of the enemy.

"How far is it from the Meng Mansion here?" Li You asked a general of the Meng family beside him.

"My lord, this place is less than five hundred steps away from the General's Mansion. The general estimated the distance from here to Mengfu, and then said to Li You.

At a distance of five hundred steps, these thieves actually dared to assassinate Meng Tian at such a short distance, it seems that there must be something big hidden behind it.

"Five hundred paces, riding a horse is twenty breaths, so I want to send one of you to the general's palace to report the news. Which of you would like to go?" You can't stay here longer, every moment you stay, the danger will be a little more, plus the number of enemies is not known now, Li You didn't dare to escort Meng Tian's carriage to the General's Mansion.

"The villain is willing to go. The three generals of the Meng family said at the same time.

Li Si turned his head left and right to look at the three generals of the Meng family, and nodded, he believed that the three of them were loyal to Meng Tian, and they really needed someone to go to the General's Mansion to report the news, otherwise they might all be wiped out here.

Li You was right to the Meng who had just answered him

The general of the family said, "What's your name?"

"Back to the adult, the villain is tall and tall. The family will reply.

Li You said to Gao Shu: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you, remember to rush to the General's Mansion, and the general's life and safety will be in your hands." ”

Gao Shu put away his sword and shield and said to Li You: "Please rest assured, the villain will pass this message to the General's Mansion if he swears to death." Please protect the general, and the villain will go to the general's mansion. ”

"Good. Li You said, and then he watched Gao Shu mount his horse and smack the horse's ass with the scabbard in his hand. The horse under the crotch of the tall tree was in pain, neighed violently, and then spread its hooves and galloped forward.

Watching Gao Shu disappear into the night, Li You said in a deep voice: "Okay, no matter what, we have to stick to Gao Shu's reinforcements, let us protect the general." ”

"Yes. ”

Not long after Gao Shu rushed out, Li You heard a few whistling arrows breaking through the air in the darkness in front of him, and then there was a cry of pain, and then there was no more sound.

Li You didn't know if Gao Shu would be able to get the news out, but they couldn't sit still here.

Just as Li Youxiang covered himself with horses, and then everyone continued to move forward, a group of people came out of the night around them.

These people all held long swords in their hands, and the long swords emitted a white light under the light of the torches around the carriage.

The appearance of the enemy blocked the road for the carriage to advance and retreat, Li You looked around, he estimated that the number of these people was about thirty people, and judging from the momentum, these people should be very experienced killers, each of them was dressed in black, and then the black cloth was masked, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

"Who are you? Don't you know that this is General Meng Tian's car? Why don't you get out of the way!" Li You said.

However, these people were not intimidated by Li You's words, and all of them took another step forward, Li You and the people around him all clenched the long swords and shields in their hands and looked around vigilantly.

These people were twenty paces away from the carriage, and they didn't know who gave the order, and the killer, who had been standing motionless in place, suddenly brandished his weapon and attacked the carriage.

Li You didn't even think about it, he directly used his sword to fight the other party, and the other people guarding around the carriage also exchanged hands with the enemy in front of him.

Li You's kung fu is not weak, and he didn't lose the upper hand in one-on-one competition with these people, but the other party is a killer, and the killer is unreasonable, they are just to complete the task assigned by the master. Therefore, Li You faced the attacks of nearly four people at the same time, and each of the others also dealt with the attacks of at least three or so people, and the scene was very dangerous.

Meng Tian was lying on the carriage, and in a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of swords clashing together, he was a military general, and he was very sensitive to this sound.

Meng Tian opened his eyes and found that his eyes were dark, and his body was still shaking from time to time, it seemed that he should be on top of a carriage, and the sound of swords came from outside.

"What's wrong?" Meng Tian opened the curtain of the carriage first, preparing to go out to see what was going on. Who knew that as soon as he opened the curtain, something flew towards him.

Meng Tian reacted quickly, grabbing the thing that flew towards him. He looked into his hand and was astonished at first sight.
