After Li Qing woke up, his body looked very weak, and what worried Li Qing was that the abnormality of his body seemed to have been discovered.

Li Qing carefully asked Meng Ying about what happened after she fainted that day, but Meng Ying didn't know very well, and only said that Li Qing passed out after killing all the assassins.

Li Qing frowned, looking at the old servant next to him who had saved him, his face was cloudy, Li Qing clearly remembered that before he passed out, it was this old servant who rushed in.

The old servant looked dazed, as if he didn't know anything, but said that he was running late at night and heard movement in Li Qing's room, so he came in to check, and just happened to see Li Qing with great power and killed several assassins.

Li Qing asked, "Where are the bodies of those assassins?" ”

The old servant replied, "It has been moved away by General Meng, and it should have been buried now." ”

Yingzheng summoned Li Qing, Li Qing entered Xianyang Palace for the third time, I don't know why, Li Qing felt that Qin Shi Huang's eyes were a little wrong, and there seemed to be a trace of strange heat.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Qing and said, "Li Qing, I heard that you don't want to work in the Craftsman Division?" ”

Li Qing nodded and said: "Weichen doesn't know too much about the things of the Craftsman's Division, and the things he knows have already been handed over to the people of the Craftsman's Division." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, since that's the case, why don't you be my guard, it just so happens that you killed ten assassins, and your martial arts are extraordinary, with your protection, I can rest assured." ”

In this way, Li Qing changed from the Shaofu Order of the Craftsman Division to the imperial guard of Qin Shi Huang, in terms of official positions, there is no talk of promotion and demotion, but everyone is very envious of Li Qing, because Li Qing can contact Qin Shi Huang at any time.

But Li Qing was very distressed, because in this way, he lost his freedom even more, and he used to be able to walk around Xianyang City, but now he can only stand guard in Xianyang Palace every day.

Li Qing's position was that of a general, and if he was in other armies, he could be in charge of about fifty soldiers, but in Qin Shi Huang's guards, he could only control ten subordinates.

Qin Shi Huang seems to have a lot of trust in Li Qing, and he takes Li Qing with him every day when he travels, and in just half a month, the entire Xianyang Palace, except for the harem and some forbidden places, Li Qing has visited other places with Qin Shi Huang.

Xianyang Palace is not big, far less luxurious than the Forbidden City in later generations, on the whole, the Qin people are still relatively pragmatic, the entire Xianyang Palace structure is like a large fortress, even if it is attacked, it can be defended with the help of Xianyang Palace.

Of course, if it is really beaten to Xianyang Palace by the enemy, then no matter how strong the defense of Xianyang Palace is, it will not help.

Zhao Gao also seems to be very interested in Li Qing, this old eunuch is always smiling every day, if it weren't for the duck's voice, Li Qing wouldn't be able to treat him as a eunuch at all, because Zhao Gao looks much more masculine than those well-dressed Qin soldiers.

Li Qing has three days off every month, which can be regarded as the welfare of the Qin Dynasty's errand, but three days is not enough for Li Qing to fetch the things left behind, so Li Qing has no choice but to put this matter on hold for the time being.

Because of Li Qing's assassination, the entire Xianyang City was in turmoil for a month, but after all, they still failed to catch Xiang Liang and his party, and I don't know how they escaped from the heavily guarded Xianyang City.

On this day, it was Li Qing's turn to take a vacation, Li Qing took off a heavy armor, the armor of the guards was all bronze armor, the Qin people's refining technology of bronze almost reached an extreme, more than one level higher than the Six Kingdoms of the same period, Li Qing even doubted, are these technologies really the Qin people's own?

After taking off his armor, Li Qing tidied up and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Along the way, from time to time, familiar guards greeted Li Qing, and Li Qing also responded one by one, and soon, Li Qing came to the north gate of Xianyang Palace.

When the commander of the North Gate saw Li Qing, he laughed and said, "Li Qing, you kid are going back?" ”

Li Qing smiled, the commander of the North Gate is called Zhao Kaitai, a strong man who can tear apart tigers and bears, because he once followed Meng Tian, Zhao Kaitai took great care of Li Qing, and the two became a pair of good friends.

"Brother Zhao, go back and rest for a few days."

Li Qing said with a smile, although this Zhao Kaitai is a lot older, but he has not started a family, Li Qing is very surprised by this, it stands to reason that Zhao Kaitai wants to start a family, it should not be difficult, I don't know why this guy would rather be a bachelor all the time.

Zhao Kaitai nodded, and did not check, so he let Li Qing out, but when Li Qing walked past Zhao Kaitai, Li Qing seemed to hear two words.

"Be careful."

The voice was so small that Li Qing thought he had heard it wrong, turned his head, and looked at Zhao Kaitai with a blank expression.

Zhao Kaitai patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said in a loud voice: "What's the matter, but there are still things you haven't brought?" If you take it, go back quickly, just three days, go home early. ”

Li Qing turned around suspiciously, and continued to walk towards the outside of the palace, Zhao Kaitai returned to a serious expression after Li Qing left, like a statue, standing at the door of the north gate.

After not leaving the palace for a long time, Li Qing felt that the smell of freedom wafted in the air, and of course, occasionally mixed with the smell of excrement.

Xianyang City is as prosperous as ever, which all shows the strength of the Great Qin Empire, but how long this strength can be maintained, Li Qing doesn't know.

Great Qin is powerful, there is no doubt about it, the Qin people are warlike, and every ordinary person has to serve in the military and practice fighting in battle formations, so don't look at some old men squatting in front of their own houses to enjoy the coolness, they are very likely to be able to go to the battlefield with weapons.

Li Qing bought some dried meat at random, and then walked towards his house, I don't know why, just now there were still many people on the street, and there were suddenly fewer and fewer people, walking and walking, and no one could be seen.

"Something is wrong."

Li Qing finally felt a little wrong, and then thought of Zhao Kaitai's reminder, Li Qing stopped.

"Tick"

Two men in hats appeared in front and behind, each carrying a long sword in their hands.

Li Qing frowned, Li Qing did not bring out the weapon when he left the palace, and the Heavenly Death Sword was also placed in the mansion and was not on his body, at this time, in Li Qing's hand, there was only a wooden box containing dried meat.

"Who are you?"

Li Qing asked in a deep voice, unarmed in the face of four masters who were not easy to mess with at first glance, Li Qing did not have the slightest certainty in his heart.

The four men in the hat did not answer, and directly charged at Li Qing, and the four long swords stabbed at Li Qing at the same time.

"Damn."

Li Qing threw the wooden box in his hand, then dodged to avoid the long sword of a man with a hat, and took advantage of the situation, grabbing the hand of the man holding the sword, ready to snatch a long sword as a weapon.
