Chapter 42 Rumors Shake the Qin State

Immediately, Yingquliang turned to Qin Feng again and said, "Qin Feng, I don't want you two to come back together." To tell you the truth, Jing Jian also went to Wei to inquire about the news, but I don't know if the news of the two of you can make my Great Qin know more. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister disguised himself all the way, first to Anyi, then to Daliang, and finally disguised himself as a guard of the Six Nations Alliance, and he also knew a lot of news under the daily inquiry. This time ......," Qin Feng said. But then he saw the Jing Jian wake up.

A basin of hot wine made the face of Jing Jian of the Golden Order's arrow envoy ruddy, and the sweat and tears on his face flowed down together. He lifted the corner of his clothes and was about to wipe it, but Qin Xiaogong had already handed over a white cloth sweat towel. Jing Jian took it and wiped away the sweat and tears on his face, and his spirit was immediately refreshed, but he was a handsome young man, if he didn't have a dark complexion that had been weathered for a long time, he would be a handsome man. He struggled to stand up and bowed deeply, "The king treats his ministers like this, how can Jing Jian repay him?" ”

Qin Xiaogong laughed heartily, "You sacrificed your life for the country, how can Yingquliang repay you?" The old Qin people don't tell lies, come, tell me the good news you brought back. ”

Jing Jian was originally full of panic and was driven back for a long time. He instinctively felt that the Qin State had reached a real point of life and death.

More than 2,000 miles from Fengze to Liyang, he only ate a few pieces of dried beef in the gap between feeding the horses three times for two days and two nights.

His inner thighs had been ground red by the rough saddle, and the pain made him grit his teeth and inhale along the way.

That rare good horse in the Western Regions usually doesn't need a whip at all. But this time, he was bloodstained all over his body, and Jing Jian was so painful that he kept cursing himself, but he still couldn't help but whip the war horse.

He has only one wish, to fly to Liyang as soon as possible! But when he saw a monarch as young as him, Qin Xiaogong's unusual determination surprised him deeply.

Jing Jian, like most of Qin's courtiers, knew very little about the monarch, who had just been on the throne for more than half a year.

When he was a teenager, Jing Jian also fought with the then prince on the battlefield for several years, and the two young knights had a close friendship.

Some people ridiculed that if Yingquliang became the monarch, Jing Jian must be the monarch's "courtier".

However, the Qin State was turbulent in wars for many years, and Jing Jian had already moved to the western battlefield with his father, but Yingquliang had stayed in the east to fight against Wei.

It was only on the eve of the Battle of Shaoliang last year that he was ordered to transfer to the east and became the deputy general of the former army.

Ten years have passed, and the two have almost no chance to meet.

At the turbulent moment when the new monarch ascended the throne a few years ago, Jing Jian was ordered by Yingqian to lead 4,000 iron horsemen to be stationed outside Liyang City to make emergency responses.

Although it did not come in handy because the situation was not chaotic, the loyalty of the former adjutant general was well known.

A month ago, it was rumored that the Six Kingdoms would meet in Fengze, and the new monarch Yingquliang actually directly ordered the general and sent Jing Jian as a Jin Lingjian envoy to the secret activities of Wei to inquire about the news.

Jing Jian felt that the monarch must have smelled the abnormal aura of the Six Nations Alliance. Because in the history of the Qin State, there was no very special major dispatch, and the Golden Order Arrow was never used.

Anyone who holds a golden arrow can not only pass unhindered in the Qin State, but also meet the Qin people in a foreign country, and can also order them to do whatever they need.

Xinjun's use of the Golden Arrow for the first time shows his vigilance and importance to the Six Nations Alliance, and shows his trust in his young friend. However, when the new prince saw his desperate return, he actually stopped his struggle, and cared for his saddle horse with extraordinary care and sincerity.

As a child of a family, Jing Jian has seen many princes and nobles since he was a child, and that kind of commanding posture is a chronic disease that almost all nobles can hardly overcome.

But this young monarch is so simple and heavy, and there is not the slightest exaggeration and flashiness in his demeanor and speech. In an instant, Jing Jian remembered an old saying, "Fortitude and perseverance can become a great tool."

Qin Feng was not in a hurry to speak, he also wanted to hear the news of this Golden Arrow Messenger first.

Although he was moved, Jing Jian was still anxious, and said with a heavy breath: "Your Majesty, the six countries of Shandong will ally with Fengze. The leader of the alliance is King Wei Hui, and the main word of the alliance is that the six countries set the world. More importantly, the six nations entered into three covenants, one of which was that the six nations did not use arms against each other. Second, delineate the sphere of influence for the annexation of minor princes. Third, the six kingdoms divided Qin, destroyed the Qin state, and then transferred 200 li of land to the Qi country. ”

Qin Xiaogong stood opposite Jing Jian, his face becoming more and more gloomy. After listening to Jing Jian, he didn't speak or move for a long time, his eyes just stared at the deep night outside the window lattice.

"Your Majesty?" Jing Jian was a little panicked and screamed softly.

Qin Xiaogong paced silently, turned to the bookshelf and suddenly asked, "How are they going to divide Qin?" Is there an unexpected plan? ”

"The minister bribed a commander who guarded Feng Zexingyuan, disguised himself as his entourage to patrol and guard outside the general account of King Wei Hui. However, during the ceremony of the alliance, the commander was sent to the hunting ground to prepare for the hunting affairs, and the minister had to go with him. It is the detailed planning of the alliance, and the minister cannot know it in a hurry. The next day, the minister pretended to encircle the wild deer, fled the hunting ground, and ran back in the starry night. There was a deep sense of apology and self-reproach in Jing Jian's words.

"Your Majesty!" Qin Feng, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister used light skills to lurk on the top of Pang Juan's military tent several times to listen. Including the process of the Six Nations Alliance, the process of Pang Juan's first outline, and the process of sacrificing to the sky. Qin Feng said slowly.

Ying Quliang's eyes on the opposite side suddenly lit up: "Qin Feng, what you said is true!" However, this shock only lasted for a moment, with Yingqu Liang's concentration and the extraordinary martial arts that he already knew, Qin Feng. It's no surprise that this can be done.

"Absolutely." Qin Feng nodded, and then told Yingquliang in detail all the news he had heard in Fengze. Ying Quliang's face was also heavy when he heard this. Jing Jian was even more angry, constantly scolding Wei Guo for being despicable!

After Ying Quliang listened, he slowly paced in the room, and Qin Feng and Jing Jian just stood there quietly and watched.

Qin Xiaogong was still pacing, almost one step at a time, stopping more than walking. Jing Jian and Qin Feng stood in the hall for a while, not knowing what to do. Seeing the heavy steps of this young monarch, they really felt the pressure in the heart of the monarch.

In the face of a catastrophe, any panic may be normal. If the new monarch in front of him was crying or at a loss, Jing Jian and Qin Feng would know how to comfort him, they would tell him about the dangers that the Qin State had repeatedly experienced, and they would give him various ideas to think of on the way.

But the young monarch in front of him did not have even a momentary panic from the beginning. This kind of concentration, this kind of calmness, on the contrary, made Jing Jian and Qin Feng feel at a loss, they didn't know what to say or do, and they didn't even know whether to tell their countermeasures.

"Jing Jian," Qin Xiaogong finally turned around, calm as usual, "You go back and sleep first." I need to calm down and think about it. Tomorrow morning, you will also participate in the government affairs hall court meeting, and we will discuss the solution with the monarchs and ministers. How is it? ”

"Take care, minister, obey your orders." Jing Jian was so excited that his voice trembled.

Immediately, Jing Jian turned around and strode out of the door, but Qin Feng was still standing in place and did not move.

"Brother Qin!" Watching Jing Jian walk away, Yingqu Liang finally sighed and looked at Qin Feng.

"Come on. Sit down, you and I will discuss it first. Ying Quliang pointed to the position beside him and beckoned to Qin Feng.

"Thank you." As soon as Qin Feng arched his hand, he didn't shirk it, and sat directly in his position.

"The six kingdoms are divided into Qin, how is Qin good!" Yingquliang sighed.

"Your Majesty." Qin Feng looked at the young monarch in front of him, and couldn't help but have a little red in his eyes. "You don't have to worry too much. The six kingdoms are divided into Qin, and its momentum is great. But his heart must also be uneven. The Qin State may not have no chance! Qin Feng comforted.

"Alas, if it is really a combination of six nations. I'm afraid that the Qin State is in danger. God, do you really want Yingquliang to be the last monarch of the Qin State! Yingqu Liang looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I don't know if Brother Qin has a good way to retreat?" Yingquliang immediately gathered his mind and asked Qin Feng.

Hearing this, Qin Feng was silent for a while. He nodded slowly, but shook his head slowly.

When Yingquliang saw Qin Feng's movements, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Brother Qin, if you really have a good strategy for retreating, please advise." You are the great benefactor of the Qin State! ”

Qin Feng nodded and said slowly, "If the enemy soldiers are coming to the city, the ministers can lurk into the barracks and kill all the generals of the enemy army!" This sentence, every word is spit out. The murderous aura on Qin Feng's body suddenly increased by one point. After saying a word, the murderous aura in Qin Feng's eyes even made Yingquliang a little frightened. This is the murderous aura of the special forces crawling out of the pile of dead. This kind of aura is not possessed by ordinary martial arts practitioners.

But Yingquliang is Yingquliang after all, and after a short period of shock, Yingquliang came back to his senses. He glanced at Qin Feng deeply, "If it doesn't come to the most critical moment, Brother Qin doesn't have to be like this!" ”

"Hmm." Qin Feng nodded, his murderous aura restricted.

"Well, let me be quiet, you go back first. Tomorrow we will consult with you. Yingquliang waved his hand, signaling that Qin Feng could go.

Qin Feng got up and arched his hand, "The minister retreats." Then he turned and walked out of the palace.

That night, there was an inexplicable restlessness and uneasiness in Liyang City.

The news brought back by the Golden Arrow Messenger had not yet had time to spread from the state capital, and it was said that this small castle that had been weathered for a long time should be quiet as usual. But to the surprise of the Qin people, in order to win their own interests in the partition of the Qin State, the six states of Shandong first found out the details of the Qin State, and the countries had already sent a large number of merchant spies to the important places of the Qin State before the alliance.

They infiltrated the Qin State, first, to collect military and political information, and second, to spread rumors and create chaos. These secret agents who infiltrated all parts of the Qin State did everything possible to make friends with important ministers and local officials, and secretly leaked the news of the division of the Six Kingdoms into Qin to them, hoping to divide the upper echelons of the Qin State and disintegrate those stubborn old Qin people.

At that time, the Qin State was blocked west of Lishan by the Wei State for a long time, and the materials were scarce, and the country was weak and the people were poor.

Therefore, these businessmen who brought rare goods in the name of doing business were extremely generous, and they did not expect that they would be the Six Kingdoms to sit on the expedition, and the news they spread also thought that it was a folk rumor, and never cared.

According to Pang Juan's secret instructions in advance, as soon as the Six Nations Alliance ended, it was the day when the spies spread rumors throughout the Qin State.

The golden arrow messenger entered Liyang at dusk, a major event that everyone knows.

It gave the spies a signal that their chance had arrived.

As night fell, the scattered shops began to be filled with wandering mysterious businessmen, who were shopping for something while rambling with the shopkeeper and customers, and inadvertently saying bad news that they had "heard";

There were also some merchants who had dealings with the old Qin people in Liyang, so they brought a few strips of dried meat to visit their old friends, and while intentionally asking if the old friends knew the bad news, they inadvertently said the worse news about the pressure of the soldiers of the six countries.

Within two or three hours, the bad news spread in Liyang City. The small city of Liyang has a population of only fifty or sixty thousand, and it is inhabited by the native people of the old Qin State, who have been fighting with Shandong for generations, and they have never heard the news that that the country is going to fight the Qin State.

But this time it's different, this time it's the six major warring states of Shandong that used troops against Qin at the same time, isn't Qin facing annihilation? How many people will die? Will the city, the land, the shops, the sheep and cattle, the old people, and the children all be destroyed?

The panic and panic in the crowd are mutually infectious, and the diffuse infection invisibly exaggerates this fear and panic. Liyang City, which has always been calm and calm, fell into panic overnight.

All this, Qin Xiaogong and the important ministers of the Qin State were unaware. Including Qin Feng. The panic continued to permeate the night.
