……

It was night, it was almost sun, thirty miles west of the city, the emperor was unusually quiet in his travels, only a few candles could be seen sporadically shaking in the darkness, and the patrolling forbidden army was not dense, and the appearance seemed calm, but in fact, thousands of forbidden troops and Xuanwu guards inside had already been fully armed and ambushed in the grass and trees.

"Then Chen Xu is probably just a lie, Your Majesty should rest early, so as not to feel unwell tomorrow!"

In the big tent, only two oil candles that were not bright were lit, except for the emperor, Li Si Wang Ben and other ministers who accompanied the parade were all there, and the servant Zhao Gao stood up and whispered.

"It's still early, wait!" Qin Shi Huang sat on a large chair covered with bearskin and said expressionlessly.

"Wang Wu, is your special information mistaken!" Chen Xu, Wang Wuyu Wuya and others stood on the tower of the west gate of Wancheng, looking at the direction where the emperor was stationed, Chen Xu turned his head very anxiously and asked.

Since he knew that Qin Shi Huang was going to Nanyang, Chen Xu asked Wang Wu to inquire about the movements of the copper and iron merchant Ran Feng, and after a few days of investigation, he found that this Ran Feng had some abnormal behavior, because in addition to the huge copper and iron workshop in the hill, there are more than ten large and small workshops in the workshop group on the bank of the river, and the number of people in these workshops adds up to thousands of people, these workshops have been constantly transporting goods to the outside recently, and a large number of labor slaves and helpers have also quietly left. Wang Qian's secret guards followed and secretly probed several times, and found that these people and goods were hidden in a hill to the west of the city, and this hill was only a few miles away from the emperor's station.

"It should be right, these people are sneaky, hidden in the mountains for several days and have not come out, if they don't act tonight, the emperor will set out early tomorrow morning, the forbidden army and the Xuanwu guard are all fast horses, they can't catch up if they want to!" Wang Wu said with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, when you are ugly, it is the time when people and spirits are most distressed, and Ran Feng is probably waiting for the opportunity!" Yu Wuya said with an iron sword in his mouth and a lollipop in his mouth.

"It seems that Ran Feng is not an ordinary person, there must be people under him who are proficient in the art of war!" Wang San said with a frown.

"Then keep waiting!" Chen Xu sighed helplessly.

He reminded Qin Shi Huang today that there might be bandits in the middle of the night, and he was talking about Ran Feng.

Because Ran Feng colluded with Chen Ping and Yingbu, they must also be ill-intentioned, and thinking of Qin Shi Huang's several tours, there were rebel forces from the six countries along the way, so it was completely reasonable for Ran Feng to seize this opportunity to kill Qin Shi Huang.

However, in such an era when transportation basically depends on communication and basically relies on roaring, it is definitely not an easy thing to coordinate to attack Qin Shi Huang's line just right, because at night there are not only many tigers and wolves and other wild beasts in the wilderness, but also wild mountains and wilderness everywhere, and the action is extremely difficult, and it is dark in the middle of the night, and he does not dare to light the torches, and if there is no adequate preparation to attack the camp, this kind of thing is very unreliable.

This wait was close to an hour, Chen Xu's eyes were extremely dry, his upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, and the yawns were one after another, just when he felt sleepy, suddenly the sound of faint people shouting and neighing outside the east of the city came, and at the same time, a ball of fire began to appear, and there were flames rising one after another among the dense copper and iron workshops along the riverbank, and it seemed that many copper and iron workshops were on fire at the same time.

No way! Chen Xu's spirit was shocked and at the same time, he was a little stunned in an instant, how could it be that the east of the city was doing it, shouldn't it be the emperor's line of attacking the emperor at night, but the emperor was stationed in the west of the city at this time.

"Hehe, what Wang San said is right, Ran Feng's subordinates really have people who are proficient in the art of war, and this is a plan to attack the west!" Yu Wuya's spirit suddenly became excited.

"Woo~Woo~~" With a few low and long horn sounds, a place five miles outside the east of the city was suddenly lit by countless torches, and at the same time, there were one roar after another, and there seemed to be thousands of people and horses gathering among the people and horses, and soon turned into several torches and a long line of torches quickly went towards the workshop that was ignited by the flames.

"This is the person from the county governor's mansion!" Wang Wu said.

Soon, after the torch dragons entered the area where the workshop gathered, there seemed to be the sound of clanging gold and iron clash in the roar, mixed with one scream after another.

It was too far away to be seen, but Chen Xu could also guess that it must be a state of fighting at this time, and because it was a silent night, the sound of the firelight and the neighing of people was particularly clear, and the sound of shouting and killing was estimated to be tens of miles away.

The sudden movement suddenly woke up everyone in Wancheng, and all the houses in the city were lit up one after another, and a large number of people rushed to the street in their clothes, panicking and not knowing what was happening. And the scattered villages outside the city were also lit up again, the sound of dogs barking one after another, the noise and panic spread out in all directions like a plague, and the entire Wancheng area for hundreds of miles soon became extremely panicked.

And this movement soon alarmed the emperor thirty miles west of the city.

"Your Majesty, there is movement in the east of Wancheng!" A Xuanwu guard knelt down on the knees of the big bill.

"Can the sentry come back?" Qin Shi Huang asked with a majestic face.

"Not yet!"

"Don't be reckless!"

"喏~"

Xuanwuwei withdrew from the big tent, and another half an hour passed, accompanied by a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the night, and soon a Xuanwuwei rushed into the big tent, "Report, there was a riot of workers and slaves in the gathering place of copper and iron merchants in the east of Wancheng, and the county lieutenant Gao Yan had already prepared and was leading the city guards to kill!" ”

"Huh~" In the big tent, Li Si and a group of civil officials breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Your Majesty, the news of Chen Xu must have been known to Gao Yan, the county lieutenant, but in order not to disturb Your Majesty, he did not report it, and now that he is almost ugly, please rest Your Majesty!" Lees stood up and persuaded.

"Tongwu Hou, what do you think about this matter?" Qin Shi Huang's gaze fell on Wang Ben.

"Your Majesty, I think Chen Xu is not a man of his word, since he clearly reminded Your Majesty, he must have a great deal of confidence, if the guess is right, the bandits will definitely use the strategy of attacking the east and the west!" Wang Ben stood up and clenched his fists and said.

"What should I do?" Qin Shi Huang nodded and asked.

"Pretend to be chaotic, lure the enemy in, close the door and catch the thief, but this plan may not be good for Your Majesty's safety, it is best to wait for your work until dawn, and wait until Gao Yan arrives to make arrangements to arrest the bandits!" Wang Ben said.

"Just a few bandits, how can I retreat, pass on my order, the guards and forbidden troops are all under the command of Tongwu Hou, I will capture the bandit leader tonight, and behead it for this parade to sacrifice the flag!" Qin Shi Huang patted the big chair and stood up.

"Whoa!" Countless responses sounded inside and outside the big tent at the same time, and Wang Ben strode out of the tent after saluting, and soon the sound of horns and bamboo whistles sounded outside, countless forbidden troops appeared from the military tent and the grass, the torches were lit one after another, some people ran back and forth, and a team of people and horses rushed to the east with torches, the sound of people shouting and neighing came and went, and the whole line was instantly chaotic.

"Haha, Zhao Zheng'er has finally won the scheme!"

In a forest two miles away, several people gathered together, and by the faint starlight, one of the tall men was none other than Ran Feng, the owner of the copper and iron workshop.

Ran Feng let out a low grin, gritted his teeth, and then grabbed a halberd and said, "Out, I will behead Zhao Zheng's dog tonight!" ”

A man in his thirties who was also burly next to him pressed Ran Hao's shoulder, snatched the halberd from his hand and said: "Big brother is here, I will go with my sons and daughters to take Zhao Zheng's dog's life, if it succeeds, the big brother will come later, if it fails, it will cover our retreat." ”

"Gong Ran, San Lang is right, the more people in the camp in the middle of the night, the better, you just wait here!" A man next to him whispered.

Ran Feng hesitated a little and then nodded: "Be careful, if you find that you can't succeed, retreat as soon as possible, and I'll hide in Funiu Mountain together before making plans!" ”

"Ran Gong rest assured, Zhao Zheng's behavior is in chaos, without further ado, come out~" A person in the dark shouted,

"Huh~" Countless voices sounded in the darkness, and then hundreds of people armed with bows, arrows, knives and guns rushed towards the Xingyuan station like wolves.

"Kill~" Soon this group of people was less than two hundred meters away from Xingyuan, accompanied by the roar and the sound of aggressive arrows flying, several forbidden army sentinels scattered among the grass and thorns suddenly let out a few screams and fell down, under the sudden change, Xingyuan was even more panicked, and thousands of soldiers and horses were in chaos.

Among the dense bandits, a tall and strong man roared and held a halberd like a tiger to overturn a carriage and rushed into the middle of the wheel, the halberd in his hand danced like a windmill, and instantly knocked out several forbidden soldiers who pounced, and a strong smell of blood emanated from the splash of blood.

"Death to the thief!" A Forbidden Commander rode his horse with a great sword in hand.

"When~~" accompanied by a violent impact, the big sword and the halberd collided together and burst out of a bright spark in the dark night, the big man's body was slightly stunned, but the forbidden army captain on the horse snorted and flew down from the horse, the halberd in the big man's hand stabbed forward, poof, the captain was stabbed in the waist and abdomen by the halberd before he landed, the big man twisted his arms, the long halberd with the thickness of his arm suddenly turned, and the captain who was stabbed screamed and was split in two and fell.

"Haha, the Xuanwu Forbidden Army is not enough! Zhao Zheng'er, take your life! ”

The big man laughed, and the halberd in his hand stabbed left and right, and went straight to the central tent.

"Wang will meet you!" Wang Ben held a big sword in his hand to block the big man, and dozens of forbidden soldiers behind him were holding blazing torches in their hands.

"Wang Qian?" Dahan was slightly stunned, and he didn't see it very clearly in the night.

"That's my father, a certain Tongwu Marquis Wang Ben is also!"

"Wang Ben! It's okay, your Wang family's father and son helped to abuse, it was Wang Jian who destroyed my Dachu at the beginning, and he will kill you first today! Death~" The big man roared and danced the halberd and pounced, Wang Ben didn't answer, the big sword in his hand was raised and pounced, and the two roared like two fierce tigers fighting together.
