Chapter Twenty-Six: The Spies in the Flying Feather Army
"Let me keep the king safe. ”
"National Teacher ......"
"That's right, isn't there still a national teacher, if even the national teacher can't protect the king, then even if we are, it's useless. ”
"Makes sense, makes sense. ”
Li Xiaokuan looked at Qin Mu with some surprise, listening to their tone, it seemed that Qin Mu's combat power was very high.
Xu Gui seemed to see Li Xiaokuan's doubts, and explained to him: "The national teacher was a purple qi practitioner at his peak, and there were only ten people in the entire Qin State who could compete with him at that time. ”
"And the highest of us is only Huangpin Martial Artist, and with the national teacher, it is indeed not our turn to make a move. ”
Qin Mu said lightly: "My injuries have not healed, and my strength is less than two or three out of ten at the peak, but as long as the other party is not a purple product, then before I fall, the king will definitely not have any accidents." ”
Xu Gui nodded and looked at everyone.
"Then we don't have to worry about the king's safety, but just in case, we still need to leave some men in the city, which of you wants to stay?"
Everyone looked at each other, and as military generals, deep down they actually wanted to go to the front line to fight.
"I'll stay. ”
Su Yi raised her hand.
"I don't have enough strength, and I can only hold you back if I go. ”
"My Lao Yang won't go, I've been spreading this meat for many years, and I left without saying hello, I'm afraid that someone will be suspicious. ”
Yang Kui also raised his hand and said.
Later, some people who had permanent shops in the city also raised their hands.
Xu Gui nodded and said: "Indeed, you should not act rashly for the time being, and the rest of the merchants will act in the name of import and export." ”
......
"Lao Yan is really not righteous, he just said he would leave. ”
At the end of the meeting, all the people who decided to leave left to prepare, and those who decided to stay also went back to their stores.
Those officials came to Qin Mu to ask about things before, and Qin Mu also left with them, and only Li Xiaokuan, Su Yi, Yang Kui, and Xu Gui were left in the room.
Yang Kui was a little frustrated, he had the best relationship with Yan Liang over the years, but Yan Liang chose to leave.
"I'd love to see you all go out, because it's the time when you need it most. ”
"Hehe, the king's lesson is that I will also take care of it these days, find a reason to go out, and join them. ”
"Brother Yang, they are all your own people, don't always call me king. ”
Li Xiaokuan said, others don't care, but Yang Kui was kind to him before, and he was originally a little restrained in front of him, which made Li Xiaokuan very unaccustomed.
"There must be a difference between the king and the courtiers, and I still know this. ”
Xu Gui on the side said to Yang Kui when he heard this: "What the king said is actually reasonable, you can't always call the king the king, now is a special period, it's okay in private, if you lose your mouth outside, the consequences are unimaginable." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Yang Kui immediately realized: "It's me who didn't think it through." ”
"Then what should I call the king, and then call Xiao Li a little inappropriate, right?"
Li Xiaokuan actually felt that it was not a big deal in his heart, but after thinking about it, he took out the mask and put it on.
"I'll still use this face, and call me Wei Liu in the future. ”
"So good......
"Ah,
......
A few more casual chats, Yang Kui and Xu Gui got up one after another to say goodbye, so that only Li Xiaokuan and Su Yi were left in the room.
Su Yi lowered her voice and said to Li Xiaokuan: "Xiaokuan, you are now the king, I think there is something you must know in advance." ”
When Li Xiaokuan heard Su Yi's title, his heart moved, but he didn't say anything, just listened with his ears.
"You say. ”
"There are spies among us. ”
"What?" Li Xiaokuan's heart was shocked.
Su Yi nodded to Li Xiaokuan in conviction.
"We were aware of it before, and the assassination of Chu officials in the Qin Land that Yan Liang participated in before confirmed this. ”
"That operation was foolproof, we started to prepare three months in advance, even taking into account the possible weather and wind direction that day, although there may also be casualties, but it could only appear in the evacuation stage after the successful assassination, but because of the leakage of news, our men were surrounded by others as soon as they arrived at the operation site, if Yan Liang was not proficient in the art of concealment, or the end of the whole army, and even our people don't even know why they failed!"
Li Xiaokuan nodded solemnly, if it weren't for Yan Liang's luck and his encounter with Li Guiyuan, I'm afraid it would really be the annihilation of the whole army.
"But we don't know who this spy is. Although after Yan Liang passed on the news to us, we secretly found out that several former officials had dealings with the people of Chu, but the real leaker still has no clues. ”
"I doubt ......"
Su Yi lowered her voice: "This spy is in our Flying Feather Army. ”
"This ......" Li Xiaokuan's heart was shocked, he had always felt that the Flying Feather Army was now one of the most trustworthy forces, but Su Yi's words made him feel cold behind him.
"You may not know some hidden secrets, our Flying Feather Army, as the private army of His Royal Highness Fei Yu, has indeed been loyal all these years, but this loyalty is only for His Royal Highness Fei Yu, not for the Qin State. ”
"At the beginning, except for some of us, we were arranged by the old King Qin to be under the name of His Royal Highness Feiyu to escort us. Others joined later when His Royal Highness Feiyu was fighting everywhere, some because His Highness Feiyu was kind to him, some were subdued by His Highness Feiyu, and some came here and took the initiative to join. Therefore, all of us in the Flying Feather Army come from different backgrounds, and some of them are not even from the Qin State. ”
"Under the leadership of His Highness Feiyu, we used to be united and unified, but now, I dare not guarantee it. ”
"I can't guarantee how many people are still so loyal, and I don't dare to guarantee that they will be able to admit their identity as the Flying Feather Army after learning of His Highness Feiyu's death. ”
"So we are not surprised that there is a spy this time, but this spy is probably very big, we can't even figure out his purpose, if he wants, he can even wipe us out without knowing it, but he doesn't. ”
"But now, because of your appearance, I begin to wonder if the purpose of that spy is related to you, after all, if he leaks your news, then the Qin State will never have the possibility of revival. ”
Li Xiaokuan fell into deep thought, if this was the case, then the Qin State would be in danger of complete annihilation.
"So what do we do now?"
Li Xiaokuan thought about it and didn't think of a way to deal with it.
Su Yi also shook her head and said that she couldn't do anything.
"There's no way, we're very passive now, and life and death are in his thoughts. The only thing we can do is to develop as soon as possible, take one step at a time, the forces behind the spies must be plotting something, and we must get enough power to protect ourselves before they act. ”
......
Li Xiaokuan's hands and feet were cold, and the more Su Yi thought about what she said, the more creepy she felt, it turned out that she had been living under the gaze of others, but she didn't even know who they were or where their eyes were.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
There was a person who had seen in the group of officials before who hurried over, Li Xiaokuan remembered.
"Your Majesty, the national teacher, they have something important to discuss...... Hey, they're all gone, so I'd better call them over!"
"No need, I'll just go over. ”
Li Xiaokuan got up and walked to the previous room under the man's leadership.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a heated discussion inside.
"The King's ......"
Seeing Li Xiaokuan, everyone knelt down one after another, but was stopped by Li Xiaokuan.
"Don't be polite, hurry up and say something. ”
Everyone gathered together and the old man surnamed Bai from before spoke.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and others have only deliberated and discovered several problems. ”
