Chapter 561: The Calm Before the Storm

"Woo woo~~~"

Zhang Liang sat on the ground, crying and laughing at the same time, like a fool.

Yu Ziqi kept pouring wine with a wine jug, seeing that the posture was ready to pour himself to death.

Han Xin frowned, looking at Wang Xiao from time to time.

He still didn't understand how Wang Xiao did it and how he came back.

As for Jin Tu and Xiang Di, they have become errand runners, constantly coming and going to serve wine and food.

Wang Xiao originally planned to leave immediately, but looking at the appearance of these people, it is estimated that he will not be able to leave without venting his emotions.

In that case, let's stay for the time being.

The dunes are quite big here, and it's not easy to find him.

After eating and drinking, Wang Xiao returned to his room and prepared to sleep.

He had just arranged the bedding and was about to undress when he heard a series of exclamations outside.

When he walked over and opened the door, he saw Yu Ji, whose face was full of excitement, standing at the door with a pretty face.

"What's wrong?"

"The emperor is really dead!"

Wang Xiao only said that the emperor was dead before, but he didn't say that he killed him.

However, everyone had already formed an inertial thinking, and took it for granted that Wang Xiao went to the emperor's bedroom at night, and then the emperor died. Of course, he did it.

And after dawn, many knights who came out of the palace passed the news of the emperor's death to thousands of households.

Wang Xiao: They were the first to get the news.

After receiving the final confirmation news, Yu Ji couldn't hide her excitement and hurriedly ran over to find Wang Xiao.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Yu Ji walking in and about to take off her clothes directly, Wang Xiao was shocked and hurriedly closed the door, "Don't be like this, it's not good to be seen." ”

Seeing that Yu Ji did not listen to the slightest dissuasion, Wang Xiao hurriedly took off his clothes and put on Yu Ji, "Don't freeze." ”

After thinking about it, the lonely man and widow were in the same room, and Yu Ji was still wearing her own clothes. If this is seen, it will be impossible to tell.

simply stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Ji into the quilt, so that he was not afraid of being seen if he was covered by the quilt.

Sure enough, it was a reasonable and logical choice.

"Don't do that, really don't do that. If you do this again, I'm going to scream. ”

As a righteous gentleman, it is indeed very difficult to meet an unreasonable woman.

In the face of Yu Ji, who was so excited, what else could Wang Xiao do, he could only sigh. With the mentality that I won't go to hell and who will go to hell, cut the flesh... Feed the eagle with meat.

Yu Ji is quite edible, and she is not fed until late afternoon.

Wang Xiao didn't stay any longer, and led everyone out of the sand dunes and returned to Jiangnan.

When she was on the road, Yu Ji took the initiative to lead the black horse over, "Only you are qualified to be its master." ”

Yu Ziqi on the side remembered his previous promise, and immediately walked over and saluted Wang Xiao solemnly.

"Yuzi period, meet the lord."

Zhang Liang on the side also walked over and saluted Wang Xiao seriously, "Zhang Liang, meet the lord." ”

"Okay." Wang Xiao, who has been an emperor, naturally has his own set of ways to win people's hearts. After the ceremony, everyone continued on their way.

Wang Xiao on horseback recalled the previous events in the Dune Palace.

The reason why they didn't do anything to Zhao Gao and Li Si was because in Wang Xiao's heart, the First Emperor was gone, and there was no need for Great Qin to continue to exist.

As for Fusu, the First Emperor had been dead for a few days, and the edict that made him commit suicide had already been sent away.

He and Meng Tian are dead-eyed, and Wang Xiao can't save him even if he wants to.

As for the other princes of the First Emperor, Wang Xiao was not familiar with them at all, and it was even more impossible to help them.

Therefore, if they ruined Great Qin by keeping Zhao Gao, there would be nothing to say.

As for what happened after that, Wang Xiao began to think about it seriously.

Not to mention anything else, at least we can't let the things that Chu and Han fight over repeat.

The people who have suffered so much from the war cannot bear the pain of a few more years.

If you have that time and energy, it is better to focus on going north to the Great Wall and fighting Mao Dun's body.

Now, although he has gathered a good minister and a fierce general around him, he has no money, food, and grass in his hands, and no soldiers and horses available. In fact, he is a bare-bones commander.

The strength of the Xiang family is basically in the hands of Xiang Liang.

Wang Xiao thought for a long time, and finally found Zhang Liang.

"Ofan, arrange for you to do something."

Zhang Liang saluted respectfully, "But please command." ”

Wang Xiao said calmly, "You go to all parts of the world and find those rangers to help me publicize the sand dunes." ”

As soon as he said this, the smart Zhang Liang immediately understood.

It's about making a name for yourself.

Once the reputation of successfully assassinating Qin spreads, it will inevitably cause a huge shock in the world.

Wang Xiao's reputation will be known to everyone immediately.

And in this era, it is possible to achieve great things simply by virtue of fame.

Not to mention anything else, the rangers from all over the world will definitely admire Wang Xiao.

Once you wave your arms, there will be countless people immediately.

These rangers are completely different from the ruffians in later generations who only know how to fool around.

The rangers have a high force value and are brave and fearless. Trained to be an excellent soldier.

For example, the famous Beifu soldiers are actually composed of rangers.

And the big businessmen from all over the world will definitely not lack people who want to be the second LΓΌ Buwei.

LΓΌ Buwei's strange goods can be lived, and he has become a great Qin Xiangguo from a businessman.

Such a great achievement deeply stimulated the merchants of the world.

The status of merchants in this era was very high, far from the last position of Shi Nong Industry and Commerce when Confucianism was in power.

They have money in their hands, and they have a large number of doormen and thugs, and all they lack is an opportunity.

When the world is in turmoil, once Wang Xiao raises his arms, with their reputation, there must be countless people who come to the pole.

If you have a reputation, there will be no shortage of money, food, and soldiers.

"Go now." After Zhang Liang saluted, he immediately rode away to promote Wang Xiao.

Along the way, Wang Xiao could clearly perceive the shock and changes brought about by the news that the First Emperor was gone.

On the surface, it doesn't seem to have changed much, but inside there is an undercurrent.

It can even be said that if there is only one spark left now, the entire Great Qin will be on fire.

Fusu and Meng Tian still died according to the historical trajectory.

The elite Great Wall Legion was demoralized by this blow, and it was no longer as strong as before.

Zhao Gao and Li Si, who returned to Xianyang City, successfully pushed Hu Hai to the throne for Qin II.

This son of Hu Hai is also a rare faint king.

inherited the huge inheritance left by the First Emperor, but did not inherit the ability of the First Emperor.

He first killed his brothers and sisters and cut off the direct blood of the First Emperor.

Later, he attacked the important ministers and nobles of the court, offended all the military and aristocratic classes of Daqin, and led to detachment.

Hu Hai did not alleviate the repressive policies of the First Emperor, but intensified them.

The more and more conscription and grain and grass materials were demanded in various places, and even the territory of the old Qin people in Guanzhong was not exempted.

Although the First Emperor was also high-pressure before, he was still more lenient in dealing with the fundamental land of Guanzhong than the six countries of Kwantung.

But Hu Hai didn't care about this, but because Guanzhong was closer to Xianyang City, and the people also had surplus food and money in their hands, and the exploitation became more and more harsh.

You must know that Guanzhong is the foundation of the old Qin people, and millions of great Qin Ruishi are all Guanzhong people.

Hu Hai felt that he could do whatever he wanted as an emperor, but he didn't expect that he would completely offend the old Qin people in the pass by doing so.

Why is it that when the world is turbulent later, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army seems to be lowered by a notch compared to when it swept the Six Kingdoms.

The reason is that Hu Hai made the entire military industry elite group and the entire Lao Qin people very disappointed.

Compared to the First Emperor, everyone did not recognize him.

Since he doesn't admit it, he naturally won't die for him.

Otherwise, as long as the Qin State blockaded Hangu Pass, it wouldn't care if the world was turned upside down outside.

Wang Xiao saw all this in his eyes.

When he went back, although the world posted notices and portraits of Lu Bu arresting Xiang Yu, the criminal who assassinated Qin Qin. But in fact, neither the court nor the people are enthusiastic about this.

Zhao Gao and the others had all seen Wang Xiao flying away with their own eyes, and they didn't know his details, so they naturally didn't dare to mess around.

And most of the people praise Wang Xiao as a hero in the world, and those who know his identity want to visit him, and there is basically no such thing as arresting people.

As for Wang Xiao himself, this kind of wanted notice is regarded as making a name for himself.

When it came time to return, the group was slow and leisurely and not in a hurry at all.

When going to Pei County, Wang Xiao proposed to go down Mangdang Mountain.

Mangdang Mountain is said to be a mountain here, and it is more vividly described as a small hillside.

The altitude is only one or two hundred meters, which is too far from the real mountain.

Wang Xiao wore a loose linen shirt and rode his horse leisurely.

Yu Ji beside her asked about the sand dunes that night from time to time, even though Wang Xiao had already talked about it many times, she still wanted to listen to it tirelessly.

Yu Ji is just a young girl, and she is the age when heroes and heroes are worshipped.

The man next to him did the most difficult thing in the world, and he was able to come back unscathed.

This kind of heroic story has a strong attraction for a little girl like her.

"When I came out, I faced thousands of Great Qin Ruishi. The fire is churning, and the flag is hunting. Countless halberd swords, reflecting the firelight, looked like a red burning cloud, and the brilliance made people unable to open their eyes. ”

"When I walked down the steps, the soldiers of the Qin army around me were all taken away by my momentum, and they threw away their weapons one by one and bowed to the ground."

"Let me say, the emperor is dead."

"When I'm leaving..."

β€œ......”

Like flirting girls in the modern world, eloquence and being able to speak are very important skills.

What's more, Wang Xiao is not blowing nonsense, the matter in the Dune Palace that day has already spread all over the world.

Even, word of mouth is far more exciting than what Wang Xiao himself said.

Even the story of Wang Xiao, the incarnation of the dragon god, who swallowed thousands of soldiers and horses in one bite, is circulating.

Along the way, it was really calloused.

Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, in order to cover up their own affairs, chose to acquiesce to Wang Xiao's assassination of Qin. This further promoted Wang Xiao's sky-high prestige.

While he was saying that he was happy, the horses of the people were in a commotion, struggling to go forward, and neighing incessantly.

Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked forward, and a stout, white-marked, python was slowly swimming out of the woods beside the road.
