Ying Zheng fought a beautiful victory, was in a good mood, and invited a group of henchmen and ministers to lunch, except for Huan Qi who left Xianyang early and failed to participate, even Li Liang, Teng Yi, and Jing Jun were invited.

There are still Wang Jaw, Wang Ling, Changping Jun brothers, and Li Si, of course, are guests.

The luncheon was held in the inner court of the harem, and without Zhu Ji, Ying Zheng could do whatever he wanted, and he was extremely happy.

After Gong E served the wine and food, she was immediately driven out so that everyone could speak freely.

After Ying Zheng and everyone sincerely praised Li Si, it was Li Liang's turn to tell in detail the information that Lü Buwei had recently secretly prepared to poison the prince and frame Chang Yu.

Wang Jaw was furious and said: "In this way, Lu Gong and Xu Xian accused Lu Thief of poisoning the first king, and it is not untargeted. Now we dare to repeat the old tricks, if we preemptively kill half of the Lu thief and the traitorous party, please give the prince's permission. ”

Ying Zheng sighed and said, "If it could be so easy, the widow would have summoned him to the palace and let people kill him." It's just that now the Lu party is strong, and there are Du Bi, Puhu and others eyeing each other, if chaos breaks out, Du Bi and others collude with outsiders to make chaos, first of all, it will be difficult to save the three eastern counties. The most taboo is still to be discouraged, and if we do not cut off his military power for a day, we will still not act rashly. ”

Wang Ling, a steady faction, also said: "The best plan for today is to wait for the black dragon to be born, and then use the poison to control Lu Buwei, and the two-pronged approach is the best strategy." ”

Halfway through speaking, I saw Li Si and others slap his eyes at him, and then he woke up, and his face immediately turned like ashes.

Wang Jaw was really stunned and said, "What a black dragon was born!" ”

Ying Zheng once had a strict decree prohibiting anyone from revealing the matter of the black dragon. Now that Wang Ling realized that he had missed his mouth, his face was so frightened that his face was colorless.

Ying Zheng smiled: "Lingqing doesn't have to mind, but it's just one trip." ”

Wang Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Leave the table and kneel and apologize.

Li Liang was both surprised and delighted when he saw that Yingzheng's power was increasing, and he couldn't figure out how he felt.

After Ying Zheng explained this to Wang Hao, Wang Hao was overjoyed and praised Li Liang: "Only the national teacher has such a whimsical and feasible plan, and it is even more wonderful to contain Lü Buwei with poison. There are examples just now. No matter how the momentum of Miao's poison increases, the gelding dog is always a gelding, and he can't buy people's hearts like Lu Buwei. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he will never be able to fly through the fingers of a veteran. ”

Wang Jaw is the general with the greatest strength outside Meng, and he will not put Miao poison in his eyes.

Lü Buwei's greatness is due to the fact that he has taken root in both the civil and military sides. If he is shaken before he is properly deployed, there will be chaos.

And Miao Poison is just Zhu Ji's male favorite in the end, and removing him will not bring any consequences, at best it will be a turmoil; Especially now that Ying Zheng has installed Mao Jiao beside him. I'm afraid of what he's messing up with.

The crowd from the Cheng Cheng faction assassination plot. talked about Du Bi and others, and then talked about Qiu Risheng, the owner of the Weinan Samurai Pavilion, and then talked about the significance of the Samurai Pavilion.

The style of the Great Qin Pavilion was actually introduced by Yangquanjun from the Chu State to Xian-Yang, mainly to train swordsmen for the employment of ministers, which was a shortcut for samurai to advance to official careers, so it was quite prosperous. There are also ministers who send their children to the hotel for training.

The restaurant often has to deal with the challenge of swordsmen from all over the world. Qiu Risheng can sit firmly in the position of the owner of the museum, and he does have real learning.

Du Bi and Pu Hu chose Qiu Risheng as the person in charge of the assassination team. It shows that this person still has a certain strength.

Li Liang knew that he would not participate in the court meeting, and he seemed to have some irresponsible behaviors and attitudes towards Yingzheng and their confrontation with Lü Buwei, and it was difficult to explain that he might "disappear" at any time, so out of a little guilt and guilt in his heart, he took the initiative to take over the work of guarding the Spring Festival.

"I am solely responsible for the security measures of the Spring Festival, tomorrow Xiaojun will accompany me to inspect the route to the place of the Spring Festival, let us and this group of assassination elites from various countries have their own ways to fight head-on, to see who has higher magical powers."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Li Liang smiled and said: "The most vicious thing about Pu Hu's trick is that if the prince has an accident when he goes to the spring sacrifice field, Chang Wenjun and I will be guilty of killing our heads." Counting birds with one stone, according to my opinion, Puhu's strength is by no means inferior to Lu Buwei, but I owe a little luck, like the decisive battle between me and Cao Qiudao, I bet on the wrong Cheng Chan! ”

He stood up and stretched, and said, "They still owe luck this time, because they met me Li Liang." ”

Ying Zheng said solemnly: "Pu Hu and Du Bi are really brave, they dare to plot against the widow!" Fortunately, General Li helped me ......"

Li Liang said with a smile: "Weichen still persuades the prince to call me a grand master and Weichen to be a general, as if he wants to lead troops to fight at any time." ”

In Qin, I am afraid that only Li Liang can talk to Yingzheng like this.

Wang Hao laughed and said: "There is only a national teacher, oh, Mrs. Li doesn't take power in his eyes the most." ”

Li Liang was slightly embarrassed, there was no way, if Yingzheng and they were used to relying on themselves, it would have a great impact on historical causality if they got out in the future.

Ying Zheng also laughed and said: "As long as I see Taifu, the widow will be sad." He turned to Li Si and said, "Li Qing, you can show Taifu and everyone the new coins we issued in response to the black dragon!" ”

Li Si happily sent the new coins to Li Liangji's case.

Li Liang picked it up and took a look. The money is round, there is a round hole in the middle, the text is half a tael, and the abstract dragon pattern is faintly seen, but it is quite different from the money in the heart.

Li Si retreated to the table and sighed: "Ji Cainu is indeed worthy of her reputation, and her proposal to change the dynasty and change the system. Not only is it practical, but it also takes into account the innovation of the entire political economy, and sets a date for the implementation, the priorities are all just right, and the people will not be forced. ”

Ying Zheng obviously favored Li Si very much, and said with a smile: "Li Qing is too humble, and Li Qing has also made a lot of plans for the whole suggestion, and Mrs. Yu Ji has also made great contributions." ”

Li Si hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

Ying Zheng pondered for a while, and asked Li Liang again: "This time the assassin came to Xian-Yang, what method does Taifu have to deal with?" ”

Li Liang said happily: "Don't worry, the only opportunity for the thief is to take advantage of the prince's sacrifice to the river god tomorrow, and win with heart and without intention." But now that we know about it, the whole situation is reversed. WeChen will work closely with Chang Wenjun. Crush the enemy's conspiracy, ensure that the prince does not lose half a hair, and also let the six countries participate in this matter. Recognize our means. ”

Ying Zheng respected him like a god, and said happily: "With Taifu in charge of this matter, what else can the widow not rest assured of." ”

Li Liang said: "But the prince must promise that tomorrow will be handled by Weichen with full authority, otherwise it will be difficult to implement the clever plan." ”

Ying Zheng laughed and said: "That widow will be Taifu's subordinate for a day tomorrow, and let Taifu order." ”

Li Si and the others felt the undoubted trust and sincerity between the two, and showed a knowing smile.

On the second day, Lü Buwei began to change tricks again. proposed to divide the salt and iron officials into two, anyway, he would not give up if he did not take the financial power and economic lifeline of Daqin into his hands.

Immediately aroused heated debate.

Before the filial piety, almost all of the industry and commerce in the Qin state were monopolized by the government. However, in order to cope with this situation, the Qin family set up an official bureau to manage various industries and commerce, the most important of which was the salt and iron officials. They are related to the people's livelihood and the military.

But with the expansion of the Qin state. Some advanced iron-smelting centers in the East fell into the hands of the Qin people one by one, and the affairs of salt and iron officials became more and more onerous, and there were even cases of smuggling salt and iron for profiteering, and salt and iron were basically two unrelated things, so Lü Buwei had this discussion.

The problem is that Lü Buwei's proposal is mainly because he thinks of using his people to be in charge of the two lifelines of Qin's economy and military, so Changping Jun, Li Si and others only said that they dragged it out. After the black dragon was born, he took advantage of the situation to include these two positions in one fell swoop.

It is easier to procrastinate than to object. In the end, it was still inconclusive, and the matter came to an end after Ying Zheng ordered another study.

Li Liang had his own things to do, and Teng Yi Jingjun went to investigate the path of Yingzheng's patrol tomorrow morning.

Li Liangdao: "What's the situation? ”

Teng Yi said: "Wuguo accompanied the informant to meet the other generals, and according to him, he still has no eyebrows about the assassins. ”

Jing Jun said: "I discussed with Chang Wenjun, he said that you can find an excuse casually, for example, a chamberlain stole something from the palace and came out, sealed the city and searched house by house. ”

Leaving Xian-Yang City, along the official road to the upper reaches of Weishui, I saw the grassland hills, stretching endlessly, connecting the sky. I couldn't help but lift my spirits, and I looked around, and I almost forgot the purpose of this trip for a while.

The turquoise heart lake and verdant green grass are brilliant and charming.

From time to time, shepherds can be seen driving herds of cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, which makes the land full of life and liveliness.

Teng Yi pointed to a small stone mound overgrown with trees and said, "If you hide on it and use a strong crossbow secretly, you can shoot at any target that passes by the official road." ”

Li Liang instructed Jing Jun to write down strategic locations on the scrolls that could be used by the Assassins.

Although it was early afternoon, when we came to the section of the road through the dense forest, the morning fog had not yet lifted, the air was full of moisture, and the vision was a little blurry.

Teng Yise changed and said: "Seeing that the weather will be foggy tomorrow, which is very unfavorable to us." ”

Li Liang said indifferently: "I don't think it's completely unprofitable, at least we know that the enemy should take advantage of the moment when the fog is the biggest when he goes to the journey, and he will not choose the return journey, and the second is that the fog is more conducive to the birth of the black dragon." ”

Jing Jun said admiringly: "Brother Li is obviously confident. ”

Li Liang said happily: "We can arrange for them to 'hit the passenger car by mistake'." ”

Teng Jing was stunned and said in unison: "Hit the deputy car by mistake? ”

Only then did Li Liang save the "mistake in the deputy car" when Yingzheng became the first queen of Qin, and Zhang Liang used the wrestler to transport the boulder and hammer the wrong car. Later, he hurriedly remedied: "That is the story that will happen tomorrow, as long as the prince hides in another car, we can safely lure the enemy out and annihilate him." ”

Teng Jing and the two shouted at the same time, and they were no longer in the mood to inspect the terrain along the way, so they responded to the situation in vain. went to Weishui to meet Ji Yanran, who was in charge of playing the black dragon there, and returned to the city together.

Beginning of spring.

Before dawn, most of the people of Xianyang City, everyone put on new clothes, and went to the upper reaches of Weishui to participate in the grand spring festival.

There is an endless stream on the road, but it is orderly.

Under the command of Teng Yi, Jing Jun and others, the 20,000 cavalry army plus the Wujia elite corps were all dispatched to maintain order along the way.

All the commanding heights of the convoy on the road are guarded and heavily guarded.

If there are assassins. The only way to carry out the assassination was to use the cover of the trees next to the road.

Zhu Ji, Lü Buwei and a group of ministers and ministers, before dawn, went to the palace to meet with Xingying, and first worshiped the first king in the ancestral temple. before departing by car.

Under the cover of Chang Wenjun and a group of Praetorian Guards, Ying Zheng did not sit in the gorgeous carriage with the royal banner on it, but turned into one of the Praetorian Guards and set off in the team.

Wang Chennei was replaced by Jing Shan, who pretended to be Yingzheng, and his flexibility was comparable to that of Jing Jun, so he was the best candidate to deal with the mutation.

Li Liang was also afraid that he would lose, especially adding iron plates to the walls of the carriage. It's like a modern bullet shelterer.

The brigade drove out of the palace gate. After leaving the city, go up along the Weishui.

The people cheered and showed their support and love for the monarch.

There were nearly 100 Praetorian Guards in each of the two teams, leading vicious dogs. Trekking in the mountains and dense forests on both sides of the official road first made carpet-style ropes to prevent the enemy from hiding in the forest and issued cold arrows.

The soldiers of the Wu family disguised themselves as civilians and mingled among the people. Like a modern-day casual agent. Spy on suspicious figures within the masses.

Li Liangce rode behind Wang Yu and constantly commanded the actions of the Praetorian Guards.

Under the opening of the Praetorian Guard of the brigade, Wang Yu took the lead. Everywhere the crowd gave way and knelt down and bowed.

The guards on both sides of the convoy were guarded in two rows, the outer row was armed with high shields, and the inner row was equipped with crossbow arrows, which could be said to be impeccable in defense.

Li Liang fell behind more than ten horses and rode with Ying Zheng, Li Si, Chang Wenjun and others.

Ying Zheng happily looked at the Duqi on the hill on the left, waving a flag of safety to them. Said happily: "Taifu's arrangement is an eye-opener for the widow. ”

Li Si smiled: "Ren Assassin has three heads and six arms. In my opinion, I have no idea where to start, and I will retreat in the face of difficulties. ”

Li Liang looked upwards, looked at the morning mist that swirled around the gap, and smiled: "The enemy must be carefully planned, there must be a way to deal with it, according to my guess, the main assault will come from above, as long as you climb to the top of the tree, you can attack with weapons such as arrows and stones." If we hadn't been prepared, with the support of the Assassins in the crowd, and with a clear target, we might have succeeded. ”

Ying Zheng, Li Si and Chang Wenjun looked at the top of the tree that was not in the mist, and they all felt a chill in their hearts.

Li Liangji said: "There is a spruce forest in front, whether you start or escape, it is the most ideal place, if you want to do it, it should be that place." ”

Ying Zheng was greatly stimulated, and a blazing light shot out of his eyes, but Li Si and Chang Wenjun became nervous, and they didn't joke anymore.

Li Liang secretly thought that Qin Shi Huang was Qin Shi Huang after all, and his courage was much greater than that of ordinary people.

grabbed the horse's belly and chased after Wang Yu.

The vanguard marched into the spruce towering official road.

The fog became thicker, and the vision was blurred more than ten paces away.

Before the brigade arrived, the sound of drums came first, and the people bowed down to the side of the road and waited for the carriages and horses to pass by.

Amid the cheers, Wang Yu drove into the forest.

The Praetorian Guards had already been given orders, and they were ready to deal with the sudden assault.

Li Liang calmed down, his eyes found Wuguo mixed in the crowd, and after exchanging glances, it was not surprising if he didn't find it.

If the enemy doesn't even have the ability to disguise, he won't use it at all.

When a group of masters decide to assassinate a certain target, it will become a terrifying force.

Li Liang issued an order to the surrounding iron guards, and Wu Yan and others immediately dispersed a little, pressing behind the king. Alert.

The half-mile-long forest road is as long as a century.

To everyone's surprise, by the time the trees were gradually thinning out and about to leave the forest, there were no assassins.

The sound of Weishui flowing faintly came from ahead.

The front of Jieshan suddenly opened up, and the great river flowed in front of it, and the mist was only a thin layer that seemed to cover the earth with a light veil.

Li Liang's face changed, and when he shouted "be careful", a sudden change came.

A strange sound came from the side of the road, and Li Liang sensed a large saw-like object flying in the fog, and the guards of the winged king fell off their horses one after another, followed by the terrible sound of an incredibly fast weight slamming into the wall of the carriage.

The emperor who was driving was pulled out of the car by Li Liang, and only then did he avoid the bad luck of being cut off. However, the eight horses pulling the cart did not have time to save the bloody fall to the ground.

The outer wall of the carriage was shattered and splashed, and the sound was terrifying.

The masses on the road immediately became a mess, scattered and fled, and the cry shook the sky for a while, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us.

Li Liang let out a loud shout, pulled out the iron bow hanging in front of the saddle, and more than a dozen arrows flew out in an instant, and screams came from the fog.

At this time, several powerful assassins dodged the arrows and pounced from the side of the road.

The guards surrounded him, and Li Liang was occupied by them, retreated to Yingzheng's side, and handed over the matter to Tengyi and them.

"Whew!" With a bang, one of them smashed the door open with a heavy iron rod, and the guard closest to Wang Yu was ten paces away.

"Yikes!" One of them tried to rush to the car and was shot in the face of the man and fell to the ground.

All the guards fired crossbow arrows in unison. The attackers were killed by arrows, but two of them turned backwards and disappeared into the sparse forest, avoiding the crossbow arrows.

Tengyi and the others surrounded him.

More than a dozen figures fled from both sides and ran towards the Wei River.

With the roar of hooves, the guards chased after them.

Li Liang came to the door of the car that was knocked open and shouted, "Stabilize the crowd!" ”

When everyone followed the order, Li Liang glanced into the car.

I saw Jing Shan poke out a face that was no longer bloody, and said suddenly: "Fortunately, there is a steel plate embedded in it." Otherwise, the kid will never die again. ”

Li Liang looked at it and saw more than a dozen round iron wheels scattered on the ground, the edges were thin and sharp, shining brightly, but at this time they all collapsed.

Looking at the nearly thirty janissaries who had fallen in a pool of blood on the ground next to the car, they were all killed in a panic, and the broken shields were scattered on the road.

This round wheel, which is thrown with the strength of the arm, is more lethal than the crossbow, and even the shield cannot stop it.

Looking at the wall of the carriage again, the wooden planks are scattered, revealing the iron plates that have been bent by the impact, which probably requires thousands of catties of strength to be able to do.

Two of the iron wheels flew into the car, and when they collided, they cut through Jing Shan's armor, but fortunately only a little flesh was cut.

The brigade stopped.

The frightened crowd was driven aside and away from the scene, and the Wujia army, led by Wuguo and other iron guards, was responsible for inspecting to see if any Assassins were involved.

Ying Zheng and others were shocked when they saw the tragic situation after the catastrophe.

At this time, Chang Wenjun was reported by someone, and the assassin jumped into the river and swam to the opposite bank. Only three people were killed.

Li Liang jumped off his horse and examined the fourteen assassins who had been shot, each of them had at least three arrows in addition to the arrows he had shot in their thighs, some of whom had been killed by their own arrows, all of whom had died on the spot, and there were no clues to follow.

Wang Hao, Wang Ling, Miao Poison, Lü Buwei and other ministers hurriedly arrived at this time, and they were all stunned when they saw Jing Shan walking out of the car.

Ying Zheng took off his helmet, revealed his dragon face, and said to Zhou Ziheng with a cold face: "Search the city for the widow immediately, if there are any more murderers left in the city, you don't have to be the commander of the guard." ”

His eyes fell on the corpses everywhere, and he said miserably: "Give the widow a generous burial!" I couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so I patted the horse and galloped towards the spring festival.

Although there was an assassination tragedy. But most people didn't know what was going on, and the atmosphere was still hot. (To be continued......)
