The Storm of the Qin State Chapter 32 The End of the Road

Li Qing and his entourage were forced to stop in Xingyang, Qin Shi Huang asked for thieves for ten days, and the Qin army in the entire Guanzhong and southern counties were dispatched, and I don't know how many people were beheaded as assassins, but the real assassin has not been found.

Li Qing squatted on the ground and looked at the two ants in front of him who were biting each other because of a trace of meat crumbs.

Huang Meng stood beside Li Qing and suddenly said, "Brother, did you say it would be him?" ”

Li Qing picked up a piece of grass root and picked the two ants apart, and said, "Bolangsha, it should be Zhang Liang." ”

Huang Meng looked at Li Qing and said hesitantly, "We should help Brother Zhang." ”

"Help? How can it help? ”

Li Qing's movements froze for a moment, if according to historical records, Zhang Liang's assassination of Qin Shi Empress successfully escaped, but how Zhang Liang evaded the pursuit of the Qin army for ten consecutive days, there is no clear record in the history books, and Li Qing naturally does not know what method Zhang Liang used to escape the pursuit.

Huang Meng shook his head, he didn't know how to help Zhang Liang.

"Why don't we go find Meng Yi for news?"

Huang Meng thought for a while and said to Li Qing that Meng Yi seemed to have a lot of information, and if the Qin army got the news of Zhang Liang, Meng Yi should be able to know it as soon as possible.

Li Qing stood up, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go find Meng Yi and ask." ”

Li Qing and the others went straight to the room where Meng Yi was, and when they saw Li Qing and the others coming to find him, a trace of surprise flashed in Meng's eyes.

Meng Yi smiled and said, "I've been busy with trivial matters recently, but I haven't taken good care of the two of you, it's really rude." ”

Li Qing said: "Brother Meng is serious, the two of us came here to ask Brother Meng if there is a place where my two brothers can be used?" ”

Meng Yi smiled and said: "Meng Yi is deeply honored that the two of you can have this heart, but the matter is almost done, so I won't have to work hard for the two of you." ”

When Huang Meng heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Could it be that the assassin has been arrested?" ”

Meng Yi shook his head and said, "Not really, but I already have the knowledge of the assassin's hiding place." ”

Zhang Liang is hiding in a river temple, which is a ruined temple that has been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, and the face of the enshrined god has been blurred and difficult to identify, and he can barely see that the god is holding a bronze sword in his hand.

"Alas"

Zhang Liang sighed in annoyance, this time the assassination of Qin was obviously very close to success, but because of the lack of intelligence, it fell short and killed the Quail, which made Zhang Liang's heart full of remorse.

A bonfire was lit, Zhang Liang took off his wet clothes and put them on the bonfire, the pursuit of the Qin army made Zhang Liang very embarrassed, at this time Zhang Liang had already lost the demeanor of a handsome son, and the whole person was like a beggar, full of dirt.

"Canghaijun, Zhang Liang has failed your high expectations."

Zhang Liang clutched his stomach, he felt hungry, since the assassination failed, Zhang Liang had not eaten water and rice for three days.

After searching left and right, he couldn't find anything to satisfy his stomach, and Zhang Liang's face showed a bitter smile.

"I didn't expect that I, Zhang Liang, did not die in the hands of the Qin people, but was starved to death in this nameless and broken temple."

Zhang Liang fell to the ground weakly, and he no longer had the strength to make other movements.

"Whew~"

A gust of wind blew, blowing Zhang Liang's clothes hanging on the bonfire crookedly, just as the flames of the bonfire were burned, and there was a "crackling" sound immediately.

A group of Qin soldiers quietly approached the ruined temple, and in front, a middle-aged man in tattered clothes was talking to the commander of the Qin army about his discovery.

The middle-aged man said, "Master Jun, I saw with my own eyes that man got up from the river and went to this ruined temple. ”

The commander of the Qin army smiled: "Okay, if it is really an assassin, you can wait to receive the reward." ”

When he came to the gate of the temple, the commander of the Qin army smelled a smell of smoke, his face showed a look of vigilance, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the Qin army immediately surrounded the broken temple.

This Qin army had more than 100 people, and after they surrounded the broken temple, they began to slowly approach the broken temple.

"Boom"

A soldier of the Qin army kicked the temple door open, and as soon as the temple door opened, everything in the broken temple was suddenly visible.

A broken statue, and Zhang Liang lying on the ground who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and the bonfire that was burning more and more.

"Ahh

The middle-aged man suddenly let out a terrible scream, and the surrounding Qin soldiers were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly looked, only to see the middle-aged man pointing to the statue, his eyes full of horror.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this situation, the commander of the Qin army asked with some uneasiness.

"River God...... The river god was furious......"

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, the bonfire was blown by the wind, and it actually ignited the offering platform, and then it blew, and the entire ruined temple was full of flames, and the Qin soldiers who entered had to retreat in a hurry.

Zhang Liang had already fallen into a coma, but the rise in the surrounding temperature made Zhang Liang wake up, looking at the firelight on all sides, Zhang Liang looked up to the sky and sighed: "Could it be that I, Zhang Liang, want to be burned alive in this broken temple?" ”

"Boom"

The flames burned down the altar, and the idol collapsed, and in Zhang Liang's horrified eyes, the idol fell to the ground, raising dust all over the temple.

"Ahem~"

At this time, the flames had already burned on the beams of the house, and Zhang Liang had already closed his eyes and was waiting to die, but suddenly found that after the idol collapsed, a row of downward steps appeared under the statue.

"May the heavens never stop me Zhang Liang."

Meng Yiyi and his entourage left Xingyang and marched all the way along the banks of the Yellow River, with Li Qing and Huang Meng also among them.

Nangong pointed ahead and said, "My lord, according to the intelligence, the assassin has fled to a river temple not far ahead, and now the garrison of Guangwu has rushed to capture the assassin before. ”

Meng nodded and ordered his subordinates to speed up, Li Qing and Huang Meng glanced at each other, both of them were very worried.

When Meng Yi arrived, the broken temple had already turned into a fire temple, and when the Guangwu commander saw Meng Yi, he hurriedly reported the situation to Meng Yi.

When Li Qing and Huang Meng learned that the assassin was trapped in this temple and burned alive, their faces couldn't help but show regret.

Huang Meng thought of the scene of his acquaintance with Zhang Liang, his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, Li Qing hurriedly held Huang Meng's hand and comforted Huang Meng.

Seeing the ferocity of the fire, Meng knew that if he was trapped inside, he would surely die, so he ordered Guangwu's garrison to wait until the fire was extinguished to remove the bones of the assassin, and then take his soldiers to set up camp not far from the ruined temple and rest for the time being.

Li Qing touched his chin, looked at the ruined temple that was still blazing in the distance, and muttered: "If this Zhang Liang is really Zhang Liang who helped Liu Bang establish the Han Dynasty, then he shouldn't have died here, is it because of my arrival that caused his death?" Without Zhang Liang, would Liu Bang still be able to defeat Xiang Yu and establish the Han Dynasty? ”

Thinking about it, Li Qing suddenly looked forward to it, whether history can be changed or not is a question worth thinking about.
