Yangwu County is a relatively ordinary small county in Hanoi County, there is no geographical advantage, but in recent years, because the imperial court has built a gallop road here, so the small county has gradually more passing merchants, and they will occasionally come to rest.

However, on the whole, this is still a calm small county, and most of the people in it live a peaceful life of sunrise and sunset.

On this day, a caravan and hundreds of masons came to the south gate of the county, and the soldiers guarding the gate verified the identity of the leader and let them go, the caravan was a caravan they were familiar with, and they often sent silk to one of the silk shops, and as for the masons, they also had someone to say hello to them, and I heard that there were several nobles who wanted to return to their hometowns to recuperate, so they wanted to build a few mansions, and the county order also asked about this matter, so they did not dare to stop it.

Zhao Jun lowered his head, followed the caravan and the mason to mix in, and then rented a few small courtyards as a baby to arrange his people in, and finally the baby went to send silk, and the mason Gongchu and others also said goodbye one after another, and repeatedly thanked Zhao Jun for his kindness, Gongle wanted to say a few more words to Zhao Jun, but I don't know why, the usual cheerful Gongle was shy and timid, and Zhao Jun smiled and didn't care.

"Prepare to find out the whereabouts of the Assassins starting tomorrow." After Zhao Jun arranged everyone properly, he summoned Li You and a few people to discuss the matter, and this time General Lu was also there.

Childe Gao asked, "However, without their clues and portraits, how can we recognize them?" ”

Zhao Jun opened his mouth and said: "These people are all from aristocratic backgrounds, just looking at the appearance of the action, they must be different from ordinary people, there will not be many nobles in this small county, once they find unusual people, they can go to investigate."

In addition, since they have bad intentions, they must be acting differently and will often go in and out of the city, because since they want to assassinate, they must summon assassins, and you can go to the local people about this, and the caravans and masons will not leave for the time being, so you must inquire as merchants or craftsmen, and report at any time if you find something unusual. ”

When a few people heard it, they felt that it really made sense, and immediately said, "Oh! "Even Jiang Lu is very cooperative.

Zhao Jun nodded and said: "Well, but we must keep two points in mind, the first point is that our whereabouts must not be exposed, otherwise it will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, and the second point is that we only have five days, and the emperor's convoy will arrive on the sixth day, so we must do it as soon as possible." ”

After hearing this, Li You and the others all nodded and said, "Okay, we remember." ”

In a small forest outside Yangwu County, there were two sneaky people discussing at this time.

"Did the people you arranged in Yangwu find any movement this time?" One of them, slightly taller, asked.

The man who was slightly short and had some short eyebrows shook his head and said: "There is nothing abnormal, the only thing is that there is a caravan and masons entering the city today, but I have inquired through the people in the city, there is nothing suspicious that a family is a Guan family business that will come several times a year, as for that team of masons, it is even more impossible, they are all honest craftsmen from Suiyang in the county government to build a few compounds." ”

After hearing this, the slightly taller person nodded and said: "I'll just say it, it really doesn't make sense for the above to arrange this task for no reason, this Yangwu City is a place where birds don't, how could that person come here to investigate, okay, I'll go and report to the Hou Ye in person, don't bother the people above." ”

"Oh." The short man nodded, but asked again, "Master Hou is almost here?" ”

"Well, it's a few days away from here." Gao nodded and left.

And just after he hurried to the vicinity of the emperor's convoy, he then used a special contact method to find Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao found an excuse to break away from the convoy, and asked him in a low voice as soon as he came: "How is it, has there been any discovery here in Hedong County?" Also, the emperor will arrive in Yangwu in a few days, which is a must-pass place, is there anything abnormal? ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, we have arranged people in the counties where the Hedong County has passed, but we haven't found anything abnormal yet." The tall man replied respectfully.

After hearing this, Zhao Gao's face showed a trace of doubt: "Yangwu is not abnormal?" Is he lying to me? ”

In the end, Zhao Gao took out a half-foot-wide object from his arms and said: "You take this person to the southeast street of Yangwu County and put it on the table for three days, so you can go in person, and then someone will look for you, and that person is our internal response, no matter whether there is a result or not, we will come to report." ”

Although the tall man was puzzled after hearing this, he still respectfully took the object and nodded, "Yes, Master Hou." ”

Then Zhao Gao quickly returned to the emperor's convoy in order to prevent the emperor from being suspicious, and the tall man hurriedly rode back to Yangwu County, and then began to act according to Zhao Gao's orders.

In Yangwu County, three days have passed, and Zhao Jun has been secretly investigating in the past three days, and sometimes he will meet with Guan Ying to avoid suspicion from others.

That night, as soon as Zhao Jun returned to the room to rest, Li You, Bai Ying, Gongzi Gao and General Lu came together.

"How's it going, have you found them?" Zhao Jun couldn't help asking.

Li You nodded: "We found three suspicious people this morning, after an afternoon of investigation, it is indeed Wei Ji, Han Cheng and Zhao Xie, and they live in a courtyard in the north of the city, and I have sent someone to guard nearby." ”

Zhao Jun suddenly said with joy: "Very good, closely monitor their every move, and when we are ready, we will take them all down in one fell swoop, it is best to act tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"It's just that we didn't find any trace of Zhang Liang that Du Wei said." The white shadow spoke again at this time.

"Didn't find Zhang Liang?" Zhao Jun was stunned.

Gongzi Gao suddenly suggested: "Maybe the news of the lieutenant is wrong, it is not necessarily, I suggest that these three people be arrested immediately and handed over to the father and emperor to deal with, so that our task will be completed, and there is only one Zhang Liang, what can be achieved without these three masterminds." ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Ying and Li You were a little moved, catching these three people is equivalent to the completion of the basic task, a little His Majesty Zhang Liang will not pursue it at all, and may not remember, only Jiang Lu did not express his position, his face was low and did not speak, he has been hating Zhao Jun since the incident on the road, although the implementation of the task was not delayed, but more often like an outsider, Li You is not strange, it is strange to cooperate with Lu's mental performance.

Zhao Jun shook his head, in his heart, Zhang Liang was the final big fish in this operation, as for the royal family of the Three Kingdoms, he was not a scum in his eyes, even if Zhang Liang could not be taken for his own use, he would have to be cut off from future troubles.

"Zhang Liang should not be underestimated, and since you found that there are only three people here, it is very likely that they have prepared for the assassination, maybe this Zhang Liang is the commander of the assassination, in case the emperor is assassinated on the way, how can we explain it." Zhao Jun said what he knew in a speculative tone.

When everyone heard this, they were awe-inspiring in their hearts, if they had just arrested the mastermind here, but there was an assassination there, I am afraid that it would be difficult to explain to the emperor at that time, even if they made meritorious deeds, they would be humbled, according to Zhao Jun's line of thought, Zhang Liang was very likely to be ready.

"So what do we do next?" Childe asked.

Zhao Jun pondered and said: "Now we still have two days, Li You and Bai Ying will go out of the city with me tomorrow to see if we can find out the clues of Zhang Liang, and the others will leave secrets to watch the three people, but don't act rashly, otherwise it will be bad for Zhang Liang for a long time." ”

"Whoa." Several people nodded after hearing this.

The next day, Zhao Jun and the three of them disguised themselves as ordinary people and went out of the city, and after going around the city, they asked the direction of Bolangsha.

Gubo Langsha is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, Guandu River in the south, and is on the galloping road from Xianyang to the east, it is the remaining vein of the mountain, the sand dunes are undulating everywhere and endlessly, the army is even more slow to advance when it is difficult to walk, the thorns are overgrown on the sand dunes, there are no wild grasses, the low-lying places of the sand dunes, the swamps and puddles are connected together.

After Zhao Jun and the three arrived, it took nearly a day to see the terrain of Bolangsha almost.

Standing on top of a high mausoleum, Li You said with emotion: "This is really a good place to ambush, if it is really as you said, this Zhang Liang will definitely be ambushed here." ”

"Yes, the dunes are easy to hide and escape, and the swamps are overgrown with reeds, and there is no one to be seen within a few steps. After crossing the Yellow River to the north and crossing the Guandu River to the south, it was not easy for the officers and soldiers to catch them. The white shadow also spoke.

Zhao Jun nodded, he just roughly remembered Zhang Liang Bolangsha's assassination of Qin, as for the specific details, he was more sure, but after looking at the terrain here, he was even more sure, Yangwu County was a county that the first emperor must pass through next, and Bolangsha was next to this galloping road, not even ten zhang away, it was the best ambush location.

"Captain, do we transfer people over, and then mobilize local soldiers to conduct a comprehensive search here, maybe we can find out Zhang Liang." Li You and Bai Ying both suggested.

It's just that Zhao Jun shook his head and vetoed: "No, the terrain here is complicated, if there are no tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, we can't surround this place at all, and once we mobilize a large number of people and horses, I'm afraid that Zhang Liang will be scared away before we arrive." ”

"What then?"

Zhao Jun looked at the galloping road not far from Bolangsha with a thoughtful expression, and after a long time, he spit out a word: "Wait." ”

"Wait? We can't wait, the emperor's frame will arrive the day after tomorrow. The two were stunned.

Zhao Jun glanced back at them: "Then what can you do, scaring Zhang Liang away is to give up all your efforts, now you can only watch Zhao Xie and the three of them in time, and pay attention to the situation here in time, once Zhang Liang comes up here, the three of them will be arrested immediately." ”

The two of them were stunned when they heard this, neither side could startle the snake, otherwise it would be bad to scare either side, and they could only do this at present.

In the end, after the three of them went back, they told Gongzi Gao and General Lu about the situation, and the two of them did not object after hearing this method, so the next two days were to secretly monitor Zhao Xie and the three of them, while always paying attention to the situation of Bolangsha, and there were several other places where there might be assassins, after all, even Zhao Jun was not sure that he would affect history, so as to change the location of Zhang Liang's assassination of Qin.

Late at night, in the corner of the alley in Yangwu County, two masked men in black stood opposite each other, and only started talking after revealing the tokens to each other.

In the end, I only heard one of them say in a deep voice: "I don't care what you plan, as long as he is not happy, I will not make a move then, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”

"You can rest assured that we have a common enemy, but you have to make sure these men are alive before we strike." The other black-clothed man said rather happily.

"No problem, we can disperse, from now on, you just don't know me."
