Chapter 2: The Death of the God of War
Bai Qi looked at the baby in his arms and did not speak for a long time, and after careful consideration, he finally dismissed the plan to stop the army, and the subjects annoyed the king, even if they talked about the ends of the earth, they could not escape death. If he goes to Du Post this time, he can still leave the whole corpse, and he is the only one who will die, but if he escapes now, he will be charged with rebellion, and he will be charged with rebellion.
"With so much blood stuck to my hands, it's time to pay it back." Bai Qi smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and looked at Zhao Qi with more kind eyes, "It's just a pity for you, God has pity on me Bai Qi, and sent you down to inform the old man Yu, so that the old man can understand that he is dead, but the old man can't give you more returns, I think you are an angel, and you won't be too bad in the future, and the old man doesn't need to worry about it." ”
Zhao Qi was very sad when he heard this, Bai Qi understood what he said, he also understood it, the facts were irretrievable, in the final analysis, he could only let him die clearly, and his death would be better, he regretted telling Bai Qi about this in advance, if he didn't say it, Bai Qi might not know that he was going to die until Du You, and he could still spend a good time along the way.
Bai Qi was naturally not as unbearable as he thought, and accepted death very calmly, telling Zhao Qi about his life deeds along the way, and still showing remorse when he talked about killing 400,000 Zhao soldiers.
"The world calls the old man 'killing God', the old man knows very well that he has killed too many people in this life, 400,000 Zhao Jun, 400,000 lives, and the old man doesn't want to careless about human life, but the old man is a Qin general, if he leaves Zhao Jun as a prisoner, he will become a big disaster in the future, and the old man is really helpless."
Zhao Qi felt very bad in his heart, Bai Qi had worked hard for the Qin State all his life, if it weren't for the King of Qin, he would never have killed so many people, let alone become the "killing god" in people's mouths, but in the end he ended up with such a fate, King Qin Zhaoxiang, it was chilling.
"I'm white, and I have a clear conscience about Daqin inside and outside!" This is Bai Qi's last emotion, and it is also the summary of his life.
Half a day passed quickly, but for Zhao Qi and Bai Qi, it was like spending half a century.
Bai Qi counted what he had done in this life, and Zhao Qi felt sad for him.
The spies of the army came to report, Du You was in front of him, and Bai Qi's death was inevitable.
Du You's houses are in tatters, all of them are thatched, people have almost run away to escape the war, and the remaining families are also hiding at home and dare not go out.
"Order, all sergeants dismount and rest for a day!" Bai Qi's order quickly spread, and when he heard that he could rest, all the sergeants were overjoyed.
Bai Qi didn't know how many hours he had left, he only knew that as long as he wasn't dead, as long as King Qin's envoy hadn't read the edict, what he had to do was still to be done.
The thatched hut was very dilapidated, and Bai Qi entered the nearest one, and the others did not dare to break into the village under his strict orders, so they could only camp on the spot.
Put Zhao Qi on the kang head, and just as he was about to take off his armor, he heard the eunuch's unique thin voice outside, and Bai Qi knew that his time of death had come.
"Where is Wu Anjun Baiqi?" A scarlet, high-hat eunuch entered the hut surrounded by a group of warriors, and a man behind him carried a plate covered with a red cloth in his hand, and he didn't have to guess what was inside.
"The end will be white." Bai Qi bowed his hand, and before he said the name of King Qin, he didn't need to kneel and salute.
"The edict of the king of Qin." The eunuch took out the edict from his bosom and fell to his knees.
In the edict, Bai Qi's guilt was counted in detail, and Bai Qi was ordered to kill himself immediately, and there should be no mistakes.
The eunuch uncovered the red cloth from the plate in the warrior's hand, and a shiny dagger lay horizontally inside.
Bai Qi stared at the short sword, stood up and staggered over, grabbed the hilt of the sword and held it in his hand, looked up to the sky and sighed: "What kind of sin did the old man have against the heavens to end up like this?" After a while, he laughed at himself and said: "The old man deserves to die, in the Battle of Changping, the Zhao army surrendered more than 400,000 soldiers, and the old man did not leave a single person, all of them were buried alive, which is enough for a capital crime."
After speaking, he turned to look at Zhao Qi who was on the kang, and said to the eunuch: "The old man kills too much and dies is not a pity, I only hope that you will wait for a good life to treat this son well, this son is extraordinary, the old man is shocked, if he is good at cultivating life, it will definitely be the benefit of my Great Qin in the future!" After that, the short sword wiped his neck and died.
A generation of gods of war is white, suddenly!
The baby's cry spread to every corner of Du You, and Bai Qi's subordinates all lowered their heads, although the god of war was dead, the spirit of war had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Bai Qi died, and Zhao Qi was very sad, of course, not only because of this reason, but also for the sake of his own future. He lost his direction in an instant, he didn't know where he would be sent, it was best not to go to the Qin Palace, where it was right and wrong, although he also had an understanding of the history of the Warring States, it was okay to be clever, but if he entered the capital, his tricks would be useless, in the hands of Lu Buwei and these elites, he and Ben didn't even have a chance to resist, and they might be killed by him as an obstacle, the smarter the person, the more worried about the uncertain factor.
For the sake of his own life, he silently prayed in his heart not to have anything to do with Lu Buwei, this person is not a good thing, he will do a lot of unethical things in the future, what can't even Yingzheng's mother dare to do? What's the good thing about getting in with him?
What are you really afraid of, Zhao Qi, who was lying on the edge of the kang, heard the discussion of several people in the room.
"What about this child?" An armored guard asks the eunuch what he thinks.
The eunuch thought for a moment, and said softly: "Listening to Bai Qi's meaning, this child is a rare genius, and such a person is naturally the most suitable person to be handed over to Lord Lu to deal with."
This is the person who is with Lü Buwei, and Lü Buwei should not be the prime minister at this time, but looking at this situation, he is already starting to lay out the affairs of the Qin State.
"That's what my lord said." The guard clenched his fists and complimented.
It's really fucking hypocritical, Zhao Qi is naturally not happy, it is better to give him to Lu Buwei and throw it away, maybe there will be a way to live. Wouldn't sending it to Lü Buwei send a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? Under Lü Buwei, does he still have a good life? The old immortal murderer didn't blink an eye, maybe he would be killed that day if he was unhappy.
"Then I will leave at once to report to the king." The eunuch was ostensibly asking for the opinions of a few people next to him, but in fact it was a face-saving scene, Zhao Qi didn't understand that he was just a bystander here, and he was still a baby, was it necessary to be so pretentious? It's weird to listen to.
"It's good for you to decide." Of course, a few guards have no opinions, and they don't dare to have opinions, the royal power is greater than everything in this period, as long as it is the people around the king, it is not too simple to want him to be a samurai.
The eunuch brushed his sleeves and went out, looking very chic, which provoked Zhao Qi to scold countless times in his heart: Dead eunuch!
A guard stepped forward and hugged Zhao Qi in his arms, Zhao Qi struggled and cried, but it didn't work at all, and provoked the guard to slap him twice on the buttocks.
Since it was useless to cry, he stopped crying, and lay quietly in the arms of the guards waiting for the verdict of fate.
The carriages in which these people rode were much more comfortable than the wagons in which Bai Qi carried their grain.
The guard walked to the carriage and handed the baby in his arms to the eunuch sitting on the carriage, and he felt sick at the thought that the man who was holding him was a eunuch.
The road during the Warring States period was very bumpy, and Zhao Qi was dizzy when he went up and down, and it was very difficult to rush overnight, I don't know how others were, anyway, Zhao Qi's sleepiness was going to die, maybe the baby was sleepy, he forcibly didn't let himself close his eyes, he was afraid that he would never be able to open it again as soon as he closed it, and in this troubled world, everyone was in danger, let alone him, a person of unknown origin.
In the end, he didn't survive the drowsiness, and slowly fell asleep under the eyes of the eunuch.
When he woke up, he had already arrived at the place, and the eunuch did not report directly to the king of Qin, but went to Lü Buwei's place first.
He put the baby on the desk and said to the middle-aged man about forty years old behind the desk: "My lord, look, this is the strange son that Wu Anjun said."
The middle-aged man has a long beard, thin cheeks, but a pair of eyes are bright, his eyes are as sharp as an eagle, his hair is tied behind his head, and he has a high crown of hair.
Zhao Qi knew that this middle-aged man was Lu Buwei, but he didn't expect Lu Buwei to be so young, in his impression, Lu Buwei should be an out-and-out sinister old man.
"What do you think should be done with this son?" Lü Buwei did not follow the eunuch's words, but asked another question.
"Naturally, it will be handed over to the adults to deal with, otherwise it will not be sent here." The eunuch was a good fart, "When the lord was in the court, he took good care of us, how could I forget you if I had good things." ”
"Hahaha, you still have some knowledge." Lü Buwei laughed, satisfied with the eunuch's knowledge, and then clapped his hands.
Soon, a servant came out of the back hall, walked up to the eunuch with a plate covered with a red cloth, and knelt on the couch. Zhao Qi involuntarily shrank his head, since he saw Bai Qi's death, he had a psychological shadow on the plate covered with the cloth, lest it was a dagger inside.
Obviously, he thought too much, Lu Buwei lifted the red cloth, and a plate of silver ingots appeared in front of him, this silver ingot was completely different from the one in the TV series, the appearance was very irregular, and there seemed to be many impurities, but it was enough to make anyone's eyes red.
"I also hope that Zhao Neishou can say a few more good words for the next official in front of the king." Lu Buwei squeezed his eyebrows and approached the eunuch, his expression made people want to vomit.
Zhao Qi knew very well that he was just an excuse for fornicating with eunuchs, and with his current ability, it was not difficult to gain a foothold in the court at all.
"That's nature." The eunuch naturally did not refuse Lord Lu's good intentions, so he ordered his entourage to accept the silver, and then got up and hugged his fists and said, "I still have to report to the king, and don't disturb Lord Lu first, and retire first." ”
"Zhao Neishou walks slowly." Lu Buwei smiled and got up to see him off.
