In the underground secret room, there were more than 20 people sitting.

Some wore armor, while others wore civilian attire.

These people here are all Zhao Tuo's henchmen.

Each of them is in an important position and has a lot of elite garrisons in his hands!

In Lingnan, there are also many civil and military people who care about Daqin.

It's just that these people have been marginalized and can't reach the core of Lingnan at all.

This is also one of the reasons why Fusu did not arrange a 'gift'.

In the defenders not far from Xianyang, they were all makeshift tents.

And in the south, after years of operation, various secret rooms and passages have already been built.

Even if the explosives were to be detonated while the decree was being read, it would not be possible to catch them all.

What's more, it may be to hurt those civil and military officials who have their hearts set on Great Qin.

Because they cared about Great Qin, they naturally regarded the edict from Xianyang as an oracle.

But these people who already have an antipathy will not take the edict seriously at all.

When reading the edict, it's hard to say whether you will be there or not!

It is only in this kind of secret gathering that all of them will be gathered!

In such a place, even if the envoy wanted to, he would not have a chance!

Soon, Zhao Tuo entered the secret room.

"Meet the Captain!"

"Congratulations, Lord Lieutenant!"

A civil and military official stood up and saluted, smiling and congratulating.

In the decree read by the envoy, Zhao Tuo was appointed to take over the post of lieutenant of Nanhai County.

Of course, Fusu's edict will not clearly state that Ren Huan's life will not be long.

Unexpectedly, when the envoy arrived, Ren Huan had already died of illness.

only said that Ren Huan was seriously ill, and let the young and strong Zhao Tuo take over.

Anyway, when Ren Huan refused to send troops, he was seriously ill, which happened to be the reason.

Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes with a faint smile on his face.

Although he already has a plan to set himself up as king, he is also very comfortable to be appointed from Xianyang.

After all, Xianyang's edict represents orthodoxy.

can be sealed and promoted to status, so naturally he will not refuse.

Even after a hundred years, their descendants will be proud of their ancestral identity.

Just like Wang Li and Zhang Han.

The two came from different backgrounds, so Wang Liwei looked down on Zhang Han.

And Zhang Han also rejects Wang Li.

In the end, it led to digging a pit and selling 200,000 border troops!

This is the contradiction between the nouveau riche and the old aristocrats!

"An official position does not have to be like this."

Zhao Tuo smiled and waved his hand and sat in the top position.

Although he said that he didn't care, the smile on his face fully proved that he was in a good mood at the moment.

Wait until you sit down again.

A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe got up and asked, "I don't know why the general summoned us?" ”

Suddenly, everyone cast puzzled eyes.

After paying homage to Ren Huan, many people were ready to go back and arrange according to the plan.

Who would have thought that the general would suddenly convene a meeting, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

For salutations, they prefer to use the general title instead.

disdainful of the official positions appointed by Xianyang.

They are already planning to tear the earth and seal the king, who still cares about the Qin court!

At the same time, many people secretly doubt in their hearts.

Could it be that because of the imperial court's appointment edict, the general decided to continue to serve in Daqin and not establish himself as the king?

But isn't that right?

According to the understanding of the general, he will never be willing to be just an official of the Qin State!

Otherwise, they would not have summoned their henchmen to discuss the matter of self-reliance during the civil strife in Great Qin.

Besides

Those officials who remained loyal to Great Qin had been marginalized under various pretexts.

Their revolt has become clear.

It's just that the paper window didn't break!

It's not that there are no officials loyal to Daqin who want to pass on a message to expose it.

However, Shangling South is remote, and all roads are blocked.

Those who delivered the letter were stopped halfway through.

And those who dared to report the news were also 'assassinated to death' in an accident!

Zhao Tuo's gaze swept over everyone's faces.

These people are his most trusted team.

He said in a deep voice: "The envoy of Fusu has arrived, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Suddenly, the faces of the people below showed a solemn look.

In everyone's heart, there is a strange feeling of being found out for doing something bad.

The scribe who spoke first was in the front position, and should be a pivotal figure in terms of status.

After thinking about it, he cautiously tentatively said: "Does the general want to continue to be an official of the Qin State or be a king?" ”

Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Naturally, he is the king!" ”

Who wants to be a king if he can set himself up as a king?

A military general below with a face full of flesh and armor said murderously:

"Then let's kill the envoy and block the road to Lingnan! Great Qin has already lost half of the country, so I don't believe that Fusu can still have troops to fight in? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"That makes sense!"

"I agree too!"

"Kill the messenger, it's the other way around!"

Suddenly, whether it was a civil servant or a military general, their faces showed excitement.

The Southern Army has been operating in Lingnan for many years, and it has heavy troops, so it is really not afraid of the other party!

Otherwise, how dare you refuse to be dispatched behind the civil strife just now in Great Qin!

According to the news, now Daqin has lost half of the country.

The anti-thieves led by Xiang Yu are powerful and are planning to attack Xianyang.

At this time, even Fusu replaced the mediocre second emperor.

I'm afraid, I'm also out of luck.

In the face of the anti-thieves who are about to move, they are already tired of coping, how can they still have the strength to manage the affairs of Lingnan.

Don't talk about sending troops to suppress it, I'm afraid that the southern army will take the opportunity to launch an annexation!

These high-level civil and military officials below also saw the weakness of Daqin, so they dared to be so arrogant.

Anyway, he has to set himself up as a king, so what's the point of killing a messenger?

It's a sacrificial flag!

Zhao Tuo frowned, pondered for a moment, raised his right palm and pressed down gently.

Suddenly, the excited discussion immediately stopped, and they all cast their attention to it.

In Lingnan, the first one is the leader.

Zhao Tuo said lightly: "It's too early to kill the messenger!" ”

Suddenly, the faces of the people below showed disappointment.

It was clear to everyone that once the messenger was killed, there was no turning back.

Zhao Tuo can only be called king.

At that time, they will also be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and their status will naturally rise.

For later generations, it was believed that there must be a great unification.

But these people who have experienced the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms do not care whether they are unified or not.

It's also good to be able to worship the prime minister like when the Seven Kingdoms were in the past!

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said with a confident smile: "Not only can we not kill the messenger, but we also have to eat and drink well and send gold and silver!" When he returned to Xianyang, he conveyed what we wanted to show to Fusu to know. ”

Someone reacted instantly: "General, this is to paralyze the enemy?" ”

"The general is clever!"

"It's still the general's foresight!"

"I'm waiting to admire!"

Suddenly, everyone agreed with the flattery.

……

On the road to Lingnan.

Several figures were running quickly in the grass, and the leader lowered his voice and ordered.

"Send a message to the general Feige, the Flying Cavalry has uprooted all the secret posts along the way to Lingnan!"
