The Seleucian warriors and the people of the Mauryan Empire are not very similar in appearance, but they are also very similar, and the reason is that in the development of the two dynasties, a friendly covenant was signed, and after the signing of the covenant, the people of the Seleucid and the Mauryan Empire had a lot of exchanges.

In the Seleucid Dynasty, there was even a saying that if a woman married into the Mauryan Dynasty, or a man married a woman from the Mauryan Dynasty, it was a matter of glory to the ancestors.

The result of this situation is that at the junction of the Seleucus and the Mauryan Dynasty, there are many people of mixed blood of the two dynasties, and there are not a few, and the appearance of the people of the two races in this era is not very different, so that the Great Qin people can't tell whether the people they caught are from the Peacock Dynasty or not.

Meng Tian and Tian Yan stood in front, Yinggao sat on the main seat, his face was not good, indeed, although Yinggao relied on the arrows in his sleeves that he had created before he came out this time to make a Jedi counterattack, but this assassination can also be said to be the largest one that Yinggao has encountered since he ascended the throne.

If there were no arrows in Yinggao's sleeves, it would be completely unpredictable how long Tian Yan would be able to hold out under Zhao Hu's hands, and if it really got to that point, it would be a big deal.

A scholar from Great Qin was asking a row of kneeling people in a stern tone about something, apparently, they were asking who the main messenger who came over this time was.

But none of them said their own envoys, because they were all sent by Antiochus III, the monarch of Seleucus, and before they set out, all of them had been told by Antiochus III that no matter what happened, they could not tell Seleucus, and Antiochus III had already trained these people when they reached this point, and he did not expect to be able to use them today.

"Your Majesty, the bones of these aliens are really hard, if you don't give them a little color, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make them submit!"

Meng Tian saw that these people were like pieces of wood, and there were no words in his mouth no matter how he asked, he was a little anxious at that time, and the meaning of his asking Ying Gao was obvious, that is, he was going to kill.

Although Yinggao didn't make too many killings far away, but if you don't kill people, people will come to kill you, so he waved his hand and signaled Meng Tian to follow his method and it was over.

Meng Tian was holding back the fire in his stomach and didn't know who to ask for it, and after listening to Yinggao's order, he directly picked up a Seleuk warrior closest to him, and said to the dry-mouthed translator who had already spoken: "You tell them that if you don't say it again, the consequences will be the same as him!" ”

Seeing that the scholar had already told those warriors what he had said, Meng Tian didn't talk nonsense, pulled out the short blade on his waist, and in an instant, he gave the Seleuc warrior in his hand a sword to seal his throat, and at that time, there was a scene of blood splashing five steps in this county temple.

After beheading someone, Meng Tian waved his hand, and a guard came up from below and carried the person's body down, and after that, the scholar of Daqin asked again, but this time, no one answered him.

The person who was second closest to Meng Tian repeated the same mistake, another blood-spattered five steps.

So, under Yinggao's nose, Meng Tian killed four in a row, his clothes were already full of blood, and it seemed that Meng Tian, who was originally a bit of a Confucian general, was very hideous.

Finally, the fifth person couldn't hold on a little anymore, and when Meng Tian was about to walk in front of him, he suddenly knelt on the ground, obviously not holding back the pressure of the gradual arrival of death.

Kneeling, he turned to the scholar who could understand the language of the Mauryan Empire, and muttered a lot of words.

After hearing this, the man's face also showed a trace of surprise, and then he quickly turned to face Yinggao, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this person has been recruited, saying that they are Magadha people under the jurisdiction of the Mauryan Dynasty, because the king ordered the demolition of all monasteries in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty and forbade monks to preach, so he hated the king very much, so he united with the previous Great Qin people and assassinated the king." ”

"Continue to ask him how they got acquainted with that Great Qin man."

When the scholar asked, the man spoke again.

"This person said that the Great Qin people went to their territory in a group of several people, and after discussing with a respected person in their clan, their people sent fifty of their warriors to obey the man's command, and the Great Qin people only told them what to do, but did not tell them what the purpose was, until they intercepted the king, the Great Qin told them that this time it was to assassinate the king!"

"Your Majesty! Those people must be Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng and others, but I didn't expect that there were such characters around Hu Hai, but now that I know that they are hiding in the territory of the Magadhas, it is easy to do! ”

didn't wait for Yinggao to continue to make his comments, Meng Tian threw out such a vicious sentence first.

"Such a strong person, it must be carried by Zhao Cheng's side, Zhao Cheng is a very important clan brother of Zhao Gao, although when Zhao Gao was powerful before, he was just doing some things that a noble child should do in Xianyang City, but if Zhao Gao had already thought about what was behind him, he would definitely leave a master for Zhao Cheng, otherwise how could this guy survive alone for so long? Magadha? Why do they have such strong force? ”

Yinggao didn't know much about the Magadha, but roughly remembered that they were supposed to be a race in this territory during the Mauryan Dynasty.

According to the assassin, their race is basically dominated by monks, which is why they hate Yinggao so much, and Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng and others went to the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, and after some inquiry, they learned that Yinggao forbade the monastery, and it was understandable to use this to provoke hatred for Daqin in some places.

And it was at this time that Yinggao went to the territory of the Peacock Dynasty to patrol with great fanfare, so this assassination was logical, after all, Hu Hai had done such a thing before, Yinggao vaguely remembered that today's big man was basically the last time he assassinated him in the territory of Daqin.

"We don't care what the Magadha people are, since they are all monks, they are obviously not doing any good deeds, this time it is just to annihilate them in one fell swoop, so as to save more effort when we go to occupy it!"

Meng Tian's meaning was naturally to send troops to fight the Magadha, but at this time, Yinggao's eyes were full of contemplation.

In the end, Meng Tian did not send people to the realm of Magadha, nor did he go himself, but followed Yinggao as if nothing had happened, and continued to inspect the next city.

The assassination came and went in a hurry, and almost everyone who knew about it was given a gag order by Yinggao and Meng Tian, and Yinggao really had nothing to do, and this matter was in the past for the time being.

That night, Tian Yan and Ying Gao stood in the city lord's mansion in front of a city not far from Hua City, Tian Yan looked at Ying Gao's expression, and finally couldn't help asking: "Wouldn't it be very good if you couldn't let General Meng Tian lead the army to Magadha for the assassination that day?" ”

Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng have always been a problem for Yinggao, Tian Yan knows about this, and now that they have finally shown their heads, Tian Yan of course also thinks that they should give this opportunity a good try, once it can be successful, it will be a good thing for Yinggao and even Daqin.

"Madame, do you know why I forbid the establishment of a mission or a monastery in this Mauryan Empire?"

"Isn't it the king's hatred for those evil and crooked people?"

"They have no grievances with me, even if they gain power, they have to befriend me, why should I hate them? The original intention of the temple is not necessarily bad, but in the end, it may always go against its original intention, so I can use the Qin law of Great Qin to improve the internal affairs of Great Qin, I don't need monasteries and monks, but I just want to turn monks into ordinary people, they can get my land, houses, food, and even marriage, and as far as I know, the vast majority of monks have accepted such conditions, in such a situation, Wouldn't it make no sense for the Magadhas, who must have known the general trend, to do this? ”

"Oh? Does the king mean that the Magadha that the man said at the end was not really behind the scenes? ”

"I just had some suspicions, so I didn't let Meng Tian act rashly, although Magadha is indeed a place with a large number of monks, but I made a cursory inquiry in the past few days, and found that the people there are very unwarlike, how can such a cold-blooded warrior be cultivated by non-warlike people? Moreover, the tens of thousands of people they may have gathered before Hu Hai disappeared into the territory of the Xiongnu command, which cannot be faked, but the territory where the Magadha people are located is in the southeast of the Mauryan Dynasty, which has to make me suspicious! ”

After Tian Yan listened to Yinggao's analysis, she nodded again and again, because she found that the truth that she thought had been interrogated by Meng Tian before was so full of loopholes at this time.

At the same time, in the city on the Seleucian border, a horse ran quickly to the bottom of the city, carrying a man on horseback, who was lying on the horse's back, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

The mercenaries guarding the city saw this scene and hurriedly informed Hu Hai of this incident, and when Hu Hai heard this, he suddenly came down in a cold sweat, because he had a premonition that this person should be Zhao Hu, so he hurriedly took the doctor to the city gate in person, and saw that it was indeed Zhao Hu who was carrying it immediately, and hurriedly carried Zhao Hu to the city without saying a word.

After the examination of the city medicine practitioner, Zhao Hu was traumatized in the abdomen, but the wound was not deep, and the reason why he was dying was that he was hit by a poison that was relatively rare in this realm, and the doctor also said that if this was a different person, he would not know how many times he had died at this time, so Zhao Hu still had the possibility of recovery, and it was up to him how likely this possibility was.

After Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng took care of them personally for a few days, Zhao Hu finally woke up faintly.

The two of them saw that Zhao Hu's consciousness was in the situation, and they were busy and began to ask him, what happened to the assassination, with Zhao Hu's ability, the warriors with fifty Seleux should not be so miserable, but now it is such a situation, Zhao Hu has already died nine times, and they know that the fifty warriors are basically enough to choke as soon as they guess.

"I don't know why there is a woman next to the Emperor of Great Qin who is not inferior to me, if there is no woman, even if the emperor of Great Qin has more hidden weapons on his body, he can't help me, the emperor of Great Qin obviously discussed with the woman at that time, and deliberately revealed a flaw in his body to me, I forgot to beware in a hurry, and was injured by the hidden weapon that Emperor Daqin carried with him, and there was no poison on the hidden weapon, which led to the failure of this matter, if I expected it to be good, The fifty Seleu warriors brought this time, except for the dead, must have all been captured by the soldiers of Great Qin, and what I am worried about is that if the Great Qin people interrogate something from the mouths of the Seleucid warriors, it will be dangerous for me to wait! ”

Because Zhao Hu had been delayed for a few days on the way back, and now he had been in a coma for several days before waking up, so when he said this, he was already quite in a hurry.

Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng glanced at each other, and after thinking about it all, Hu Hai took the lead and said: "If it is really the Great Qin people who interrogated what happened from the mouths of the Seleu warriors, I am afraid that before you came back, the army of Great Qin had already reached the border of the Seleuc, but until now, the Seleuc and even the territory controlled by the Huns have been calm, I am afraid that the Great Qin people have not interrogated anything at least until now." ”

Hu Hai's words made Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu both nod, and then Zhao Cheng still said in a deep voice: "Since this matter has reached a conclusion, then no matter whether it is successful or not, the monarch of Seleu should know, otherwise our cooperation with Seleu will be a very difficult situation in the future, I will leave for the capital of Seleu today to explain this matter." ”

After Zhao Cheng asked Zhao Hu about the exact situation at that time, he got up and rushed to the capital of the Seleucid Dynasty.

Antiochus III actually already knew that Zhao Hu was injured and returned to Seleuc, and he was indeed waiting for Zhao Cheng to come, but at this time, he could figure out even with his toes that this assassination must have failed, and his fifty Seleu warriors would definitely not come back.
