That night, there was chaos in the camp of the Qin army outside the city of the king of Shu.

No one expected that Wang Li, a famous general of the Western Qin Kingdom, would die before he could leave the army, and he would be killed by an assassin surrounded by an army of 80,000. Such a thing was simply unheard of in the hundreds of years that the Great Zhou Dynasty had divided the vassal states of the world.

What's even more bizarre is that the murderer who killed Wang Li that night not only searched the entire camp but couldn't find it, but it is also said that the people present at the time didn't even see what the assassin looked like. The only thing that those Qin soldiers and Shu ministers saw was a flashing black shadow. If it weren't for the fact that even the unlucky Shu Prime Minister was stabbed and almost died, everyone almost thought that ghosts and gods came to chase souls and kill them.

As soon as the army went out, the main general died. Such a bad omen cast a heavy shadow on the entire Qin army camp. You must know that Wang Li is not an ordinary general, not only has he made outstanding achievements, but he is recognized as a famous general in the world. And his family also occupies a pivotal position in the Qin State. Such an important person died in the army, and if the King of Qin learned the news, it was inevitable that the thunder would be angry.

Under the gloomy sky, the army of 80,000 stopped advancing and stood still, waiting for the king's command. At the same time, the ironclad cavalry blocked all the passages within a hundred miles, searching the area day and night for the Assassins. However, no matter how hard they tried, day and night passed, they still got nothing. It's frustrating that no useful information has been received.

And since sending the flying horses back to make an urgent report, all the generals and colonels in the army have been terrified every day, waiting for their unknown fate to come, not knowing what kind of anger they will receive.

Since the Western Qin began its military and political reform decades ago, it has governed the army more harshly than any other country. According to the Qin system, if the main general dies, the lieutenant general will inevitably be affected. Even if the head falls to the ground because of this, it is not something that has never happened.

Fortunately, there is reassuring news coming. The Prime Minister of Shu, who was also injured by the assassin, in order to appease the anger of the King of Qin, had already asked the King of Shu for his life, and did not hesitate to drag his injured body to the Western Qin. He wanted to go to Feng'an Wangcheng on behalf of the King of Shu and personally explain the matter to Nie Feng, the King of Qin.

In any case, in the current situation of borrowing from Shu, the face of the King of Shu still has some effect. If the King of Qin can be exempted from punishment for the lieutenant generals and colonels because of this, then thank God.

On the other hand, this is, of course, also the fear of being angered by the monarchs and ministers of Shu. No one in this world can withstand the wrath of King Qin. The king was angry and bled thousands of miles, this is definitely not a joke.

Many of the soldiers of the Qin army who heard the news outside Stone City couldn't help but secretly rejoice. In the chaos of that night, fortunately, a team of cavalry was allowed to protect the ministers of Shu and the others and left safely. Otherwise, if they also have an accident, the situation is even worse.

The Qin soldiers received the correct information. It's just that just one day later, Xin Gong, the prime minister of Shu, did not spare his efforts, bid farewell to the king of Shu, and under the protection of a team of personal guards, he rode out of the south gate of Shu City.

The sun is setting, and the old trees are faint. A hundred miles from the city, the team stopped. Xin Gong, who was still wrapped in a wound on his left rib, stepped out of the carriage with the help of his attendants and looked around. The mountains are undulating, and further on, it is the land of Qin. He looked at the figure driving the carriage, waved his hand and whispered.

"Let's go...... That's all I can do for you. ”

Bai Ye, dressed as a Shu State attendant, was silent for a moment. He didn't look back, just asked with mixed emotions.

"Why did you save me?"

The white-haired Prime Minister Xin Gong of Shu had infinite sadness in his eyes. Looking back at the land of 3,000 miles, more than 100,000 subjects of Shu have been repeatedly invaded by neighboring countries over the years. Surrounded by tigers and wolves, they are weak, but they don't know when they will be truly strong. There was a glow in his cloudy gaze, and he fixed on the Assassin's eyes, and the words that came out of his mouth were thrilling.

"Because...... You killed that general of the Qin State and avenged the many people of Shu who died innocently! ”

Needless to say, it is all in this sentence. Bai Ye raised his head in shock and saw the blood oozing from Xin Gong's wound. A trace of guilt passed through his heart, and the knife he stabbed deeply.

"I'm sorry! At that time, I had to ...... in order to protect myself. ”

"Needless to say. This knife won't cost me my life...... Hehe! There you go. Keeping the body of a warrior may be of great use in troubled times. ”

Bai Ye did not say any more thanks, nor did he say goodbye. There are some great righteousness and kindness in this world, which cannot be easily repaid.

Taking advantage of the gap when no one is paying attention, the wind blows and the grass is silent. The figure of the driver soon disappeared without a trace. Xin Gong got into the car, and the team continued to move forward. The henchman who followed looked at no one on the left and right, and asked in a somewhat puzzled low voice.

"Master, why do you want to help this assassin escape? Not only did he kill the commander of the Qin army, but he also seriously injured you...... Wouldn't it be better if he had been handed over to the Qin army at that time? ”

Xin Gong endured the pain of the wound touched by the bump of the carriage and took a deep breath. Thinking of the efforts made over the years, he did not hesitate to grovel for the survival of Shu, and this time he personally went to the land of tigers and wolves to endure humiliation, and the consequences were unpredictable. The reason for all this is because of the lack of warriors who dare to die in Shu!

"You ...... I don't understand! A long time ago, Shu was already a piece of meat that Qin had in its mouth, and it could swallow it whenever it wanted. If there is a chance to prick a thorn in its mouth, it will seek a glimmer of life for the Shu Kingdom. So, why don't we go for such a good opportunity? ”

"Master, do you mean to say...... Will the assassin's killing of Wang Li be beneficial to our Shu Kingdom? ”

"Alas! The Qin State has famous generals, and there are countless people who can recruit people who are accustomed to war. Although Wang Li died, it would not hinder King Qin's plan to conquer the east. It is even more unlikely that the Qin army will change the battle plan at will because of this. However, Wang Li was stabbed to death, but it delayed the pace of the Qin army's tiger and wolf army...... These few precious days may change many things! The Qin army's plan to raid thousands of miles will probably not go so smoothly, or even fall through. If in the near future, the Qin army and an opponent who can compete with it have a fierce battle in the north, no matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to the Shu State...... Do you think this Assassin has done us a great favor? ”

The surrounding henchmen and attendants all looked suddenly enlightened, and cast admiring glances at this minister who had devoted himself to the country. For the survival of Shu, Xin Gong really gave all his efforts. This time, they almost took their lives, and those of them who know the inside story have always admired them very much.

"Hopefully, this warrior will be able to get the word to where it should be. Looking at the world today, there are very few people who can really have the strength to fight the Qin army. And the country that the Qin army wanted to raid this time was its strong opponent...... I hope that the king is safe and mighty! ”

Xin Gong muttered, retracted his gaze from afar, closed his eyes and was silent for a while. Further from here, it is no longer the land of another country. The mountains and rivers of the Qin country, the tiger is in the dragon plate. Falling in the eyes will only increase the anxiety, and it is better not to look at it!

Soon after, the team continued on its way, and soon disappeared into the depths of the smoke.

And between the grassy mountains and mountains, he ran out of the white night for dozens of miles in one breath, but he didn't care about the situation behind him. As he ran, his mood was stirring. In any case, I never thought that in such a situation, I would have a chance to survive death.

Now that he has stabbed the commander of the Qin army, it can be regarded as avenging Qiao Mei. As for Xin Gong's saving grace, he will keep it in his heart and report it later. In this sad land of Shu, he never wanted to come back. For a thief who once made his home from all over the world, the loss of the only woman he loved was not worth any nostalgia.

Full of mountains and rivers, don't pass by! Now Bai Ye has only one thought in his heart, that is, to hurry to Los Angeles as quickly as possible and return the blue rhino bead. At the same time, if it was still too late, he would tell the prince of Zhao that the Qin army was about to attack Zhao in a big way. This can be regarded as repaying him for the gift of pearls the day before yesterday.

The eldest husband is in the world, there is revenge, there is kindness to repay kindness, and grievances are clear, which is originally his code of conduct. It has always been his code of conduct.

Although Bai Ye is just a thief, he is thoughtful and different from ordinary people. After thinking about it for a while, he knew that this time the Qin army dispatched would not be so simple. Thinking of the news he heard from Xin Gong, he already had a premonition that Zhao Guo was likely to be in a big disaster this time!

The Western Qin State is out of Qishan in the east, which is the neighboring Shu country. And further east from Shu, the adjacent Wei State is immediately followed. Further east of Wei is the fertile land of Zhao for 8,000 miles. In this turbulent world of complex relations between countries, no military action is simply launched. Once the war begins, it will be a thunderbolt.

When he thought of the danger in this, Bai Ye didn't dare to delay for half a minute, identified the direction, and rode in the direction of Luocheng, Zhongzhou.

And only two days after Wang Li was assassinated, Wang Jian, the general re-sent by Nie Feng, the king of Qin, rushed to the Great Qin army stationed in Shu. Wang Jian, who was born in the same family as Wang Li, not only brought 5,000 of the most elite cavalry of the Qin State, but also brought the strict military orders of the King of Qin.

"Order the army to set off immediately, and together with the Wei army, immediately start the military plan that has been prepared long ago...... All the soldiers should strive to be the first, conquer the Dragon City on the same day, and atone for their sins! ”
