Chapter 170: Lin Ying is lonely, the lonely wind is cold
In front of Long Ji, a swordsman dressed in brocade appeared. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The offensive against the palace was in full swing, and the shouts of killing could be faintly heard even in the remote forest.
Long He was originally very excited, as long as Yingzheng died, the hatred of destroying the country could be snowed.
Until the appearance of the person in front of him made Long Ji feel a trace of unease in his heart.
"Who?" The soldiers around Long Ji guarded the left and right with long swords, preventing the swordsman from moving forward.
Long Ji waved his hand, signaling that his subordinates should not be so nervous, and said, "You guys retreat first!" β
"Yes!"
In the middle of the woods, the soldiers quickly retreated.
The forest shadow is lonely, and the cold wind is swishing.
"How did you come here? My brother! β
The dearest people reunited after a long absence, and there was no imaginary warmth, Long He looked at Long Xiu, who was dressed in brocade, with wary eyes, and asked.
This place, this time, it is difficult not to doubt the purpose of Long Xiu's appearance here.
Long Ji is a soldier of the family, the battlefield is ruthless, and all unplanned factors are the objects that need to be vigilant, even if this is his brother.
Excited in his heart, but reason prevailed, Long Xiu took a step forward, but Long Ji waved the spear in his hand, "Brother, you should know the way of the soldiers that my father passed down to us." The soldiers are ruthless! β
Long Xiu smiled and said, "Over the years, you have really grown a lot, and you are no longer the naΓ―ve brother you were at the beginning!" β
"Yes. A person who has lost his country is nothing but a dog that has lost his family. I had already learned how to survive in the midst of displacement, and I am grateful to my father for giving us the way of the army when I was a child. Otherwise, now, I would have become a tool for those traitors to ask for a reward from the tyrants. Long Ji said, the cold air on his body overflowed, making people feel an indescribable indifference.
"What about you? My brother! β
"I have taken refuge in the Empire's CRRC Government Order and become a housekeeper." Long Xiu smiled self-deprecatingly.
"You really took refuge in Tyranny Qin and aided in the abuse!" The dragon was furious, and it seemed that the next moment, the spear in his hand was about to pierce his brother.
It's just that Long Ji didn't make a move after all, and asked, "Why?" β
"Why?" Long Xiu's face was gloomy, and he said: "In the battle of Nanyang back then, Zhao Gao's elite net was destroyed by Prince Qin. Around him, there is a lack of many outlaws to do things for him. I took this opportunity to do a few important things for him and won Zhao Gao's trust. After all these years of blending into the empire, I originally wanted to be like you, looking for an opportunity to assassinate Yingzheng in order to avenge my father. But in the end, I gave up! β
"Really?" Long He sneered: "Has the life of glory and wealth made you lose the heart of a warrior?" Have you forgotten the hatred of destroying the country and the love of brotherhood? β
"No, you don't understand!" Long Xiu's face was very painful.
"I don't understand!" Long He was emotional, and sneered: "Look at your clothes, it's enough for hundreds of brothers around me to eat for half a month!" So, you covet glory and forget your promise! β
"Brother!" Long Xiu let out a loud roar, quieting Long Ji. "You don't understand the strength of Emperor Qin, because you have never come close to him. But I have, recently, I am only a dozen steps away from Emperor Qin. At that time, I was about to fight for my life, like Jing Ke, to assassinate Emperor Qin. But I eventually gave up, do you know why? β
"Why?"
A look of pain began to appear on Long Xiu's face, and Long Ji looked at his brother like this, calmed down, and asked.
"Because just before that, Emperor Qin glanced at me. I'm afraid it's hard for you to imagine that even that unintentional gaze made me not even have the courage to get up. I crawled at his feet, not daring to move until Yingzheng left. Long Xiu's face didn't feel a trace of tears, showing his weakness.
Long Ji put his arm on his eldest brother's shoulder and said, "Brother, this time is different. We will succeed! β
Long Xiu shook his head and said, "I came this time just to let you leave quickly with your people. Don't follow Zhao Xie anymore! β
"What! Why? The dragon asked, puzzled.
"If I'm not mistaken, this mutiny was all expected by Yingzheng. Zhao Gao is afraid that he has already captured Zhao Xie at this moment, and it will be too late if you don't leave! β
"But" Long Ji's thoughts were confused, he couldn't figure it out, and finally grabbed Long Xiu's hand and said, "Brother, let's go together." β
"No, I stayed by Zhao Gao's side, and I still have my own purpose. You go quickly, leave immediately with your hundreds of brothers, and return to the south of Chudi. The mountains and rivers there are dangerous, and you can survive smoothly. β
Long Xiu looked at Long Ji, and after speaking, he turned around and left.
β¦β¦β¦
In the palace, the rebellious military horses were monstrous.
Chen Rong was originally a general of Zhao State, and most of the soldiers around him were Zhao Guo's descendants. At this moment, for a goal, they quickly inserted it into the palace where Yingzheng was located like an arrow.
Regardless of casualties and costs, this ruthless use of troops like an assassin's assassination made even the elite of the Qin army around the First Emperor not have the slightest advantage, but retreated one after another.
Wang Li stood in the corridor outside the front hall of the palace, anxiously looking at the situation in front of him, but he was a little helpless.
Wang Li had the heart to lead his troops to kill, but he was responsible for guarding the emperor, so he could only stand here and be in a hurry.
"How's the setup?" Wang Li asked the lieutenant beside him and said.
"Wooden planks and stones were brought from the palace, and a temporary outer trench was erected, so that if the rebels rushed over, they could delay their attack."
"It's not enough!" Wang Li muttered from his mouth: "Go find materials again and build a layer of trenches." His Majesty the Emperor's safety is a matter of great importance, and there is absolutely no room for error! β
"Yes, sir!"
Just as the captain turned to leave, Wang Li saw that the attack formation of the rebels on the periphery suddenly stagnated like several sharp cones.
"What's going on?"
Wang Li was a little confused, but he saw that then, the rebels were incomparably offensive, but they gradually withered and retreated.
Soon after, Meng Tian walked briskly towards the palace.
At this time, Meng Tian suffered some minor injuries, and his hair was scattered.
"General, what's going on?" Wang Li asked.
"It's General Wang Ben! General Wang, with 3,000 cavalry, attacked Chen Rong's camp outside the city a moment earlier. After that, he pursued from behind and slaughtered the rebels in chaos. At this moment, the rebels had retreated near the city walls. I have come to ask His Majesty the Emperor for orders, what should I do with this rebel army? β
"Father!" Wang Wei's joy was overflowing, and he immediately said, "The general comes with me!" β
The temple was empty, only the candles were lit in the distance. On top of the imperial case, the bamboo slips around Ying Zheng were already piled high.
"Your Majesty, the rebels are under siege. The last general came to ask for his life, is it to kill or stay? β
On the distant throne, Ying Zheng was flipping through the bamboo slips in his hand. Hearing Meng Tian's words, he didn't look up, but just said one word lightly, "Kill!" β
The sound is soft, but it travels far away. Meng Tian retreated, he understood that after tonight, this Zhao Di was afraid that it would set off a bloody storm!
β¦β¦
The sun rose, and in the palace, the smell of scorching was mixed with the blood and qi, and the Qin army was carrying the corpses on the battlefield and cleaning up the ruins of the battlefield last night. Li Si took his hand behind and looked at the scene in front of him indifferently.
"Prime Minister, please ask Your Majesty for mercy for us. We're really not rebellious spies! β
A group of soldiers, escorting several ministers, passed by Lees.
These were all ministers who had been advised to mobilize the county soldiers to drive away the thieves when the rebels attacked that day. At this moment, they all became the targets of investigation and were taken away by the sergeant for interrogation.
When they saw Lees, they begged for mercy as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.
Li Si didn't even have time to pay attention to them. A chill couldn't help but rise in his heart, if he had agreed to mobilize the county soldiers that day, I don't know what would happen at this moment?
The reason why Li Si was silent that day was because he saw the unusualness, so he didn't speak.
It's just that now, Li Si, who has a sensitive sense of touch, has already sensed where the emperor is pointing! But it is precisely because of this that Li Si does not feel that he has a sense of being a person in a different world.
After all, over the years, he and Gongzi Fusu have been very close! In the midst of this storm, if he chooses carelessly. He, the prime minister of Great Qin, I'm afraid he won't be able to support it for long!
"Prime Minister!"
Zhao Gao's gloomy voice came, interrupting Li Si's musings.
"It's a CRRC government order!" Li Si replied indifferently. For Zhao Gao, Li Si has always kept a distance not far away. "What happened to the rebel leader?"
"The leader of the rebel army was strong, and when he saw that he was invincible to me, he committed suicide with his sword. The slave and maid just asked His Majesty for sin, and His Majesty was kind and did not blame the slave and maid. β
"Is that so?" Liss muttered. In fact, at this moment, he was not interested in paying attention to Zhao Gao's.
"Prime Minister, Your Majesty is in a bad mood at the moment. When the prime minister and others meet with the saint, please be careful. Zhao Gao showed a smile on his face, showing his kindness.
"Feeling bad?" Li Sihu said suspiciously. What can make His Majesty feel bad?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just presented a recital, maybe it's because of this!"
Zhao Gao didn't know the content of the song, but just guessed with his instinctive intuition. But what it is, he doesn't know. After all, after Emperor Qin saw that song, his face was really not good!
Li Si nodded and left by mistake, but his heart was like turning over the river and the sea!
What happened to the prince?
"Prime Minister, take a look!"
In the main hall, Li Si picked up the bamboo slips thrown by Emperor Qin. But just after one glance, fine sweat oozed from his forehead!
The prince actually destroyed the Yin and Yang family!
But Li Si couldn't think about it, and Emperor Qin then asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?" β
Li Si bowed his head, dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Looking at the content on the fold, the prince has uprooted the Yin and Yang family. But the essence of this matter does not lie in the Yin and Yang family, but in the attitude of Emperor Qin.
The Yin and Yang family was looking for an immortal elixir for Emperor Qin. Emperor Qin's dedication to the elixir of immortality, Li Si has a deep understanding. Whether this matter is big or small, it all depends on Emperor Qin's intentions at this time.
Thinking of Emperor Qin's recent actions, there is already a faint paving the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne in the future. But now that there is such a thing, the future situation has become confusing in an instant, which really makes Li Si's heart numb.
Li Si understood that Emperor Qin's seemingly casual question was actually testing his attitude towards the crown prince.
But the problem is that Li Si is not allowed to take the emperor's pulse.
In the end, Li Si gritted his teeth and said in his heart that he could only gamble once. "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be recalled from Songhai and inquire about the specific situation. In addition, it is advisable to let the county guards in various places be careful and guard against the remnants of the Yin and Yang family. β
"I know, let's do it!" Emperor Qin paused and said, "This time Chen Rong's rebellion is the remnants of the Six Kingdoms behind his back. It seems that I have been too lenient with them in the past. β
Li Si lowered his head and sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that his choice was correct.
Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has caused a monstrous disaster, His Majesty the Emperor still has no intention of abolishing the prince.
"Go down!"
"Wechen retires!" Li Siyu said with his hand and retreated gently. But only he knew that his back was soaked at the moment.
β¦β¦
Mojia stronghold.
Since the mirage and his party, the Mo family and others have retreated from the stronghold outside Songhai City and changed to a more hidden place. A small mountain village far away from Songhai in the middle of a valley.
"Duanmu girl, Shi Lan doesn't matter to her!" Little Fat Dun asked anxiously, since she rescued Shi Lan from the mirage, she had been unconscious for many days.
"Shi Lan's current condition is very strange, there is a powerful force running in her body. Her body was constantly adapting to the power. Duanmu Rong said slowly.
"Strange woman, what does that mean?" Chicken leg Ming asked. Since the mirage was repaired by Prince Qin that day, Chicken Leg Ming has been negative for a long time. However, when Cu Ding prepared a few new dishes, Chicken Leg Ming quickly returned to his foodie nature.
The so-called negativity quickly dissipated.
"In other words, in this run-in process, Shi Lan may wake up in the next moment, or she may not wake up for the rest of her life." Duanmu Rong's face was ugly, although she was known as a medical immortal, Shi Lan's current condition was no longer something that could be solved by medical skills.
"How so?" Little Fat Dun's face was ugly and he muttered.
It's right next door to this room.
At this moment, Gao gradually sat on the floor, his face like water. Opposite him, sat the thief.
"How's the Yin and Yang family?"
"It has been uprooted by Prince Qin, and now only the Moon God Star Soul is still on the run. Now, the Qin army has begun to search for Fang Shi related to the Yin and Yang family, and the situation outside is very chaotic. β
"What about the princess?" Gao asked Wanli. What he cares about is Yan Dan's daughter Gao Yue, who has been rumored to be in the Yin and Yang family for a long time, but there is no specific information.
The thief frowned and said, "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that someone has seen the Moon God Star Soul with a little girl who looks like Yue'er. What's even more strange is that the luna star soul seems to be very respectful to the little girl. (To be continued.) )
