The vast and majestic palace of the King of Qin was full of white mourning flags, and the hunting ground rattled in the cold night wind, setting off the already sad atmosphere even more gloomy!

In the night, the Qin Palace is brightly lit, and the mourning music is bursting, and a grand funeral is being held for the first emperor!

The first emperor died, the heavens and the earth collapsed, the sun and the moon mourned, and the palace was also a gloomy fog. As soon as the palace attendants thought that Zhao Gao, who was sinister and vicious after the death of the first emperor, he would cover the sky with one hand, and they couldn't help but miss the days when the first emperor and the queen were alive, and tears were also pouring down!

In a corner of the palace, in a wing room, the door was closed, and Xi, who was dressed in a filial robe, faced the spiritual seat of the first emperor in front of him, and wept silently.

"Your Majesty, it's the fault of the slave! The slave didn't expect that Zhao Gao, a thief, would dare to kill the king and plot rebellion, but she hated that she couldn't persuade His Majesty as soon as possible, so that the national government finally fell into the hands of thieves. Now that the general trend is gone, the slave and maid are lonely, not only can they not make this great revenge for His Majesty, but they also don't know where they will be buried! Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you!" Tears flowed down his face and he choked up!

Although Zhao Gao and the imperial physician both claimed that the first emperor died of natural causes, Xi did not believe it in any way. Even if the body of the First Emperor is indeed getting worse day by day in the recent stage, it is unreasonable to die so quickly. Zhao Gao's nonsense can be hidden from the ministers outside the palace who don't know the depths, but it is absolutely impossible to hide from him, the first emperor's close attendant! It's just that although Xi understands it in his heart, he doesn't dare to reveal the word 'no', otherwise the current sinister situation of covering the sky with Zhao Gao's hand, I'm afraid that Xi will immediately disappear from the world if he shows a little sign of opposition. Therefore, under the helplessness of joy, there is only patience, and even the worship of the first emperor has to be carried out secretly in his own house!

Just when Xi was full of sadness, suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door: "Is Xi Daren here?" Please open the door!"

This voice almost scared Xi to death, and Xi hurriedly responded: "Who?" While hurriedly hiding the First Emperor's spirit card and incense candles.

He replied outside the door: "Hello adults, open the door quickly, I have urgent secrets to discuss with adults!" Xi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and opened the door. Anyway, it's out now, who's afraid of whom!

The door opened, and a young man flashed in. As soon as this man entered the room. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and closed the door tightly, and said in a low voice: "Hi lord, please come into the back room and talk!"

Xi was inexplicably dragged into the back room by Lang Zhong, and jumped to his feet in a hurry and said, "You, who are you!" Let go, you let go for me! Otherwise, I'll call someone!"

Lang Zhong hurriedly said: "Don't shout, Lord Xi, I came to see you on the orders of His Majesty!" Xi was taken aback: "What, Your Majesty's last order, what's going on?"

Lang Zhong said with some sorrow: "The young general wins." It is the clan of the Qin State, and he is now a second lieutenant in Langzhong, and he is on an errand in front of His Majesty. A few days ago, when His Majesty was relaxing in the garden, he suddenly said that he wanted to be quiet, so he sent everyone away, leaving me alone to accompany him.

When no one was around, His Majesty suddenly said: "Yingli, are you a loyal minister, are you loyal to Lian?" I hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty." Chen Yingli is the clan of the Qin State, and his ancestors have fought bloodily for the Qin State. My father Yingge was killed in the battle to destroy Chu, and my uncle Yingqiang is still used in the 'broken army' under Wu Anjun's account. Serving the country with death is the wish of the ministers and the whole family!"

His Majesty was very happy at that time and said: "Yes, you have been in the palace for several years. On an errand in front of the joint body, your every move is also in your eyes, and it is indeed worthy of my glorious winning bloodline. Lian now has an important matter to entrust to me, in case something happens to the DPRK and China in the near future. The world is uneasy, so I will secretly hand over this thing to Lord Xi! You can do it!" The young general hurriedly replied at that time: "The minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will not give up!" So, His Majesty gave me a bamboo tube. Order me to keep it secret, don't be careless!

At that time, I was very excited, and what an honor it was to be entrusted by His Majesty. It's just that a few days later, His Majesty died suddenly, and Yu Meng, who was filled with grief, remembered His Majesty's entrustment in front of him, so he sneaked in secretly and handed over this thing to the adult!"

Xi was taken aback, hurriedly took the bamboo tube, unscrewed the bamboo stopper, and inside was a roll of yellow silk holy decree! Xi opened the holy decree with some trembling and looked at it:

Lianyou feels that the political situation in the DPRK and China has been strange recently, and he is afraid that there will be traitors in charge and bring disaster to the world. In order to settle the world, a secret edict was specially established here: Wu Anjun, the eldest son of the king, helped Su Shenwu Mingzhe, no less than Lian, and could be the king of the world. If something happens to the union, it will be located in it. There are those who dare to rebel and cause trouble in the world, and Fu Su Wuer will hold this edict to correct the world!

The edict is not finished, and it is a big jade seal!

Seeing this, Xi and Yingli were very sad, and said with joy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, pity your generation of Holy Lord, but you died in humiliation at the hands of villains, sad, sad!"

Yingli also suddenly realized, and said with grief and indignation: "Could it be that Your Majesty was killed by Zhao Gao, a traitor!?" Oh my God, Zhao Gao, a thief, dared to kill the king and rebel!"

Xi hurriedly said: "Silence, silence!" A few days ago, Xi had risked his life to say to His Majesty that Zhao Gao and Gao had rebelled against the country, but unfortunately His Majesty seemed to believe it or not, and he was deeply sorry that the news of His Majesty's violent death suddenly came, this is not Zhao Gao and others' poisonous hands!? But now, Zhao Gao and others cover the sky with one hand, and we are alone, and if we are not careful, we will cause disaster to the nine clans!"

Hearing this, Yingli also said with great compassion: "Zhao Gao, old thief, I, Yingli and you swear not to stand together!" By the way, Lord Xi, since Your Majesty has always believed in Zhao Gao's traitor, why did he suddenly secretly pay me this secret edict?"

Xi Mian said respectfully: "This is the way of the emperor!" After Your Majesty was reminded by me the day before yesterday, although he still trusted Zhao Gao and others, he must have had a trace of doubt in his heart! With His Majesty's cautious and perfect habits, when faced with unknown dangers, he will inevitably set up a secret hand in advance to prepare for any eventuality. It's a pity, I'm afraid Your Majesty himself couldn't have imagined that this secret edict would really come in handy!"

Ying Li also cried sadly: "Xi, Your Majesty has entrusted the two of us so much, and the two of us deserve to die in retribution." It's just that the youngsters are young and shallow, and they really don't know how to distinguish them! Please show me!"

Xi hurriedly thought about it and said: "This secret edict is very important, it can be said that all the societies in the world are tied to this, as long as it is in the hands of Wu Anjun, the Great Qin world can repeat the Lang Lang Qiankun!" But now, we must protect this secret edict with death, wait for the right opportunity to sneak out of Xianyang, and send the secret edict to Wu Anjun!"

Ying Li nodded firmly and said: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of danger you face, Ying will definitely keep his mouth shut and never leak half a word!"

Xi nodded and said, "At present, we can't be too anxious about the matter of the secret edict. After all, now Zhao Gao and others control the palace very strictly, and they have to find another opportunity to send this safely to Wu Anjun! But there is one thing that cannot be delayed any longer!" Ying Li hurriedly said: "Please Xi Daren command!"

Xi hurriedly said: "Whether there is this secret edict or not, Zhao Gao and others will want to get rid of the king as soon as possible, and the family members of the king who are now staying in Xianyang are even more dangerous!" If what I expected is true, I am afraid that once His Majesty's corpse is buried in Liling, Zhao Gao and Gao will attack the monarch's family! So without further ado, you immediately take the opportunity of the shift change to sneak to the Lingyan Pavilion and ask to see the three princesses. Tell them: Without further ado, hurry up and escape from Xianyang and go to the king! Don't tell them the book of the secret edict for the time being, otherwise if they can't escape, this secret edict will fall into the hands of Zhao Gao and others! Can you do it? My identity is more obvious, so I can only rely on you to deliver the news!"

Ying Li hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, leave this matter to me!" I'll be right away!"

"Be careful!"

Yingli nodded, came to the door, and peeked out through the false mullions. No abnormalities were found. He quietly opened the door, nodded to Xi, and disappeared into the night!

Lingyan Pavilion. The secret room in the house is full of more than ten people.

Concubine Zheng, Ying Ji, Ying An, Ying He, Ying Qian, Ying Yu, Wang Fang, Qi Hong, Xiao Chunfeng, Xiao He, Fang Qi, Ying Bu and other twelve people sat together. It's in deliberations!

Fusu was not there, and the twenty-four-year-old Ying Ji was faintly led by everyone. At this time, Yingji is tall, tiger and mighty, and the moon is bright. It has the heroic spirit of Fusu.

Ying Ji said with an angry face: "I didn't expect the situation to develop to the end, and there was not much difference from what my brother Nan Zheng said before: my father died suddenly, not to mention whether it was weird or not, Hu Hai's kid was playful." Cruel and tyrannical, and without meritorious service, how could his father make him the crown prince and take over the throne. I think it must have been Zhao Gao's traitorous ministers who killed their father, and then made a false edict to establish Hu Hai as the emperor!"

Twenty-one-year-old Ying An has a slender figure and a face like a crown of jade, but his temper is very irritable, he suddenly jumped up, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Old thief Zhao Gao, I am inseparable from you, wait for me to behead him!" As he spoke, he was about to go out.

Ying Ji said angrily: "Ying An, what are you doing, do you want to kill everyone, sit down for me!" Ying An was scolded by his brother and sat down gloomily.

Ying Ji glared at Ying An fiercely, and said angrily: "Have you forgotten what your brother said before leaving, you must be calm!" Lord Xiao, Lord Fang, you are my brother's confidants, and now that the situation has changed suddenly, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Xiao He said with a heavy face: "The situation is not good now, with Zhao Gao, Li Si and the others and the king's festival, as long as Your Majesty's funeral is certain, I'm afraid they will attack us!" Therefore, we might as well deploy according to the king's approach, and everyone will change their disguises, quickly escape from the pass, and defect to the king!"

Fang Qi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't wait for Your Majesty's funeral to be planned, and Zhao Gao will start!" Ying Ji suddenly came to his senses and said, "Lord Fang is saying that Zhao Gao will attack his mother!?"

Fang Qi nodded and said, "Yes, Concubine Zheng is the biological mother of the king, how can Zhao Gao and others let it go!?" If what I expected is true, Hu Hai will definitely order that Concubine Zheng and the concubines of the former emperor will be buried together. And because Concubine Zheng is not the queen, once Hu Hai wills, Concubine Zheng will not be able to resist the will! And once Concubine Zheng is buried with her, Zhao Gao and others will have no scruples about attacking us!"

Concubine Zheng was shocked when she heard this, and her face suddenly turned pale, and she was shocked: "What, no, no, the mourning family doesn't want to die!"

Ying Ji hurriedly said: "Mother don't worry, it'll be fine!" Ladies and gentlemen, since the matter is so urgent, why don't you arrange for us to escape from Xianyang immediately! By the way, Lord Xiao, before leaving, my brother said that Wei Hu, the owner of Fengyasong Restaurant on Xuanwu Avenue, is a shadow under him, and asked us to go to him to discuss when we are in a hurry!"

Xiao He was overjoyed and said: "Since the king has already made arrangements, then there must be a countermeasure. Okay, without further ado, I'll leave right away and invite him into the palace overnight to discuss!" Saying that, Xiao He hurriedly got up, arched his hand and left!

As soon as Xiao He left, Di Yingniang, who had grown into a big girl, suddenly came to report: "Concubine Zheng, ladies and gentlemen, there is a second lieutenant outside who asks to see you." He said he had to meet the three ladies if he had a top-secret matter!"

Qi Hong got up and said, "You guys sit down for a while, I'll take a look!" Everyone nodded.

After a while, Qi Hong came in with a gloomy face. Wang Fang asked with some trepidation: "Sister, what's the trouble?" Qi Hong gritted his teeth and said: "It's Lord Xi who sent the second lieutenant of Di Lang to win the reason, and he told us that Zhao Gao may soon attack us, so be careful!" Everyone was immediately furious and scolded Zhao Gao.

Ying Ji's face became more and more heavy, and Qi Hong said, "Sister-in-law, it seems that we really have to leave immediately." Look at how many people we are going to take with us on this trip. And what route is better?"

Qi Hong thought for a while: "Of course, our family members have to be taken away, and in addition, Fang Qi, Xiao He, Li Xin, Qiang Kui, Shi Lu and other family members also accompany them, and General Ren's family members don't have to think about it if they are far away in southern Chu." If the families of the other important generals are in Guanzhong, please ask Meng Yi to send someone to notify and send a guide to clear the customs, and hide in the mountains and forests, it is estimated that Zhao Gao will not exert too much effort on these minor people, they should be safe! As for the route, we have two options:

1. Sneak out of Tongguan and enter Sanchuan County. Sanchuan County is the fief of the husband, and the power of the soldiers and horses is in the hands of Ji Bing. As long as you enter Sanchuan County, you can be guaranteed to be safe for a while. But if Zhao Gao and Hu Hai send a large army to attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say!

2. Leave Xianyang. Cross the Weishui and dive into the Qinling Mountains. From the Meridian Valley to the next office. This is the territory of Shu County, which is controlled by Fan Tianshi and is connected to Qiannan County. There are thousands of mountains here, and dangers are everywhere. I'm not afraid that Zhao Gao will send soldiers and horses to crusade! What do you mean?"

Ying Ji thought for a while and said, "It's better to get into this road." Although the Qinling Mountains are rugged and difficult to travel, as long as you enter Xiaguan, you don't have to worry about safety, and you can also directly enter Lingnan from Bashu through Qiannan County to meet your brother. Walking all the way to Sanchuan County not only has to pass through Chengguan and Hangu Pass. And if there are chasing soldiers, it is difficult to ensure safety, so it is better not to go!"

Yingbu interjected at this time: "Childe, there is no room for villains to interject here, but villains don't know whether to say something or not!"

Ying Ji looked at the tiger's back and bear's waist, and Yingbu, who was heroic, smiled and said: "Yingbu, my brother brought you back from Qi Country, and you treat you as a relative, so it doesn't hurt to say anything!"

Yingbu hurriedly said: "Yes! The king really treats me with the grace of mountains and high grounds, so Yingbu must swear to die to repay! Yingbu believes that it is indeed a proper path for those of us to take this path. However, Mikawa-gun can't just leave it alone! Sanchuan County is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and Luoyang is the pivot button of the world, which cannot be lost! Therefore, we must send capable men to Luoyang to take over Sanchuan County, and no matter what difficulties there are, we must try our best to ensure that Sanchuan County is not lost. In this way, when you return to the Central Plains in the future, with Sanchuan County as a base, you can take advantage of it when you are chasing the Central Plains!"

Ying Ji suddenly woke up and said, "Yingbu, you're right! No wonder my brother respects you so much, you are really a talent! Who do you think is the right fit for us?"

Ying preached: "The villain has been taught by the king, and he has also read a few military books over the years, and he thinks he can do it. But the villain's status is low, and his prestige is not enough to convince the public, so it is better to let Gongzi Ying'an go to Luoyang with the villain! The two of us have smaller goals, so it should be easier to get out! It's just that my sister Yingniang is going to bother her son to take her to Bashu!"

Ying Ji nodded and said, "You can rest assured!" Yingbu, Ying'an, you immediately go to Tingwei Meng Yi and ask him to make two roads for you, and the two of you can move first overnight! I'll take care of all the family!" Okay, we'll be right away!" Ying An and Yingbu hurriedly got up and went to see Meng Yi!

Everyone was discussing, and Xiao He had already led Wei Hu into the Lingyan Pavilion. Wei Hu saw everyone, and hurriedly said: "Jun Shang has sent a group of good men to infiltrate Xianyang three years ago, and I am under my control, so I am ready to meet this day." Therefore, after learning of His Majesty's death, he has gathered this group of good men, about two hundred people, and as long as he gives an order, he can immediately escort you to go!"

Qi Hongxi said: "Great, the husband is really clever." By the way, Wei Hu, does the gentleman have any arrangements for which route to take?" Wei Hu said: "Jun Shangdi means to go out of Qinling to Shu County, where Jun Shang has already notified Fan Tianshi to send his cronies to lead heavy troops to respond!" Along the way, we have already discovered the road, and it can be unimpeded!"

Ying Ji said: "Great, my brother is really a god, and he has arranged it so properly, it's really like he is here!" Since Brother Wei has already prepared, it is better for each of us to get up early tomorrow, change into civilian clothes, go out of Xianyang early in the morning, meet at the edge of Weishui, and then cross Weishui together and enter the Qinling Mountains! At this time, Zhao Gao Gao was busy with his father's funeral, and he must have been unprepared, and when he found out that we had already escaped, and then sent troops to pursue him, I would have escaped from danger a long time ago!"

Qi Hong said: "Then we will decide, we will go back separately, silently, and tomorrow morning we will find a swimmer to go out of the palace and meet at the edge of Weishui!"

Wei Hu nodded and said, "Okay, that villain will immediately go back and gather people and go to Weishui to answer!"

Now everyone disperses and prepares overnight!

Early the next morning, nearly 100 people, including Fusu, Xiao He, Fang Qi and other family members and the rest of their henchmen, went out of the city in batches, and under the escort of 200 Momen swordsmen led by Wei Hu, they rushed into the Qinling Mountains and fled into Shu County!

Two days later, Zhao Gao, Li Si and others found that the situation was wrong, and when they sent troops to search for the families of Fusu and others, they didn't even find a single hair, and they couldn't even figure out where they fled, so they couldn't help but be so angry that they thundered. He immediately instigated Hu Hai to issue an edict to arrest everyone in the name of disrespect and filial piety to the first emperor.

But when this edict came into Fan Tianshi's hands, it was just a piece of waste paper! After Fan Tianshi received the family members of Fusu and others, he immediately hid everyone. Then, with his deep influence in Bashu and Shu for many years, he immediately ordered the closure of all checkpoints, intercepted all kinds of taxes and materials sent to Xianyang, and began to violate the orders of Xianyang; And secretly began to recruit troops and horses, stockpiled grain and grass, and prepared to meet the Fusu army to go north!

As soon as the funeral of the first emperor was over, the lieutenants who saw that the situation was not good, immediately told the old man to return to his hometown, and Meng Yi resigned because of illness, and the two took the initiative to give up the two important positions of national lieutenant and court lieutenant. Zhao Gao and others were naturally overjoyed when they saw that the two of them were so knowledgeable, and they instigated Hu Hai to play all of them, so they no longer thought about the two of them!

After Meng Tiande Meng Yi reported the news of His Majesty's death overnight, he immediately claimed that the Xiongnu had invaded the border, mobilized an army of 300,000 in one place, and stuck to the northern plains, putting on a posture that you want to move me and I will play with you. Zhao Gao and Hu Hai knew Meng Tiandi's temper, and they didn't dare to act rashly for a while!
