Zhao Jun waited anxiously in the mansion, and it didn't take long for the people sent to return after that.

"Back to the captain, those soldiers in the county said that they didn't find anything abnormal."

Zhao Jun's face turned cold after hearing this, although Yangwu County is not big, but the nearby mountains are staggered, if there is no clue, where can he go to find someone?

Li You's faces also changed, and they couldn't find it, so didn't it mean that Zhao Jun was going to be ruined and their previous efforts were all wasted.

"Now we are divided into four teams, going out of the city and looking in four directions, and we can't let go of any clues." Despite being in a desperate situation, Zhao Jun was still unwilling to give up.

Everyone didn't say much when they heard this, and immediately set off separately.

It's just that before leaving, Li You found Zhao Jun privately and said: "Ah Jun, do you think it will be Zhao Gao, and I think there must be a mole between us, otherwise it is impossible for someone to easily rob the three of them." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Jun nodded and said: "Except for Zhao Gao, I can't think of anyone else, there must be a traitor, but Zhao Gao, an old and cunning fox, will not leave evidence, and we don't have time to investigate, if we guess in vain, Your Majesty will not believe it." ”

Li You was silent after hearing this, originally he still wanted to find a flaw from this, even if Zhao Jun didn't catch Zhao Xie and the others, then he would have an explanation to His Majesty, so as not to be killed, but now it seems that the chance of finding Zhao Gao's flaw in a short period of time is very small, even if he tells the emperor without evidence, the emperor will not believe their words, and will only think that Zhao Jun is talking nonsense and wants to exonerate himself.

In the end, in desperation, they had to go out of the city separately, and Zhao Jun led people out of the south gate.

The south of Yangwu County is full of cropland within two or three miles, and it is open and cannot be hidden at all, so he rode directly along the loess road to the south, and when he walked out of three or four miles, he saw that the field of vision was all wilderness, of course, there were a lot of small jungles, and there were several small hills not far away, the trees and thorns on it were very lush, and now this time was not as tense as the land in later generations, and now there are many places that are still to be developed.

Along the way, Zhao Jun walked aimlessly with his troops, he had no clues, he didn't know where Zhao Xie would be taken to at all, and there were not enough people to search and pursue him comprehensively, and he would be killed if he couldn't make a difference before dark.

If you can't do it, you can only escape, Zhao Jun secretly thought, although the efforts of the past few years may have been in vain, but it is better than losing his life, and he must find an opportunity to kill Zhao Gao in the future to take revenge.

Just when Zhao Jun was thinking nonsense, the subordinates who were sent to explore the road in front suddenly came back and reported: "Lord Duwei, Guan Ying is asking to see you in front." ”

"Big brother?" Zhao Jun was stunned, how could the baby be in the suburbs of Yangwu County?

"Take me to him."

As soon as Zhao Jun rode his horse first, fifty of his men rode up behind, and when they just came to a fork in the road, they saw Guan Ying riding on a horse.

Before Zhao Jun could ask, Guan Ying first asked, "Brother Jun, are you looking for three people now?" ”

Zhao Jun was stunned and asked, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Today I was walking around the city gate without any problems, and on the way I saw a few men pulling an ox cart, and although they were well covered, I found three people hiding in their ox cart. And before I saw that you were looking for someone in Yangwu, so I secretly followed them in confusion, I wanted to go back and tell you, but I didn't expect to meet you here, by the way, you came here, do you already know? The baby said.

Zhao Jun looked surprised and asked, "What?" Three people hiding? Where are they now? Dissatisfied with the big brother said, I just brought people to chase them. ”

Seeing this, Guan Ying said bluntly: "On a hill not far ahead, the mountain forest is not very tall, but I was afraid that they would find out after following the mountain forest, so I withdrew back." ”

"Then please take me with Brother Guan quickly, I can't hide that this matter is at stake with my life." Zhao Jun said hurriedly.

Guan Ying's serious expression became solemn when he heard what Zhao Jun said, and he turned his horse and said, "Then follow me quickly, I'll take you there." ”

In the southern mountainous forest of Yangwu County, at this time, on an ordinary small mountain forest, there were twelve black-clothed people surrounding a cliff rock several zhang wide, and a tall and sturdy person stood on the cliff stone, but he wore a black hood and only showed a pair of eyes and couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Behind him is the back cliff of the hill, and there are three people standing opposite, if Zhao Jun is here, he will definitely be able to recognize them, these three people are Zhao Xie, Wei Ji and Han Cheng who he monitored before.

Zhao Xie is quite sturdy, Wei is fat and burly, Han Cheng is tall and strong, all three of them are from the aristocratic royal family, and their appearance and demeanor are naturally extraordinary, but at this time, there is no trace of calm and elegance on their faces, they are all frightened and confused about the present.

They never expected that they and the others would have been monitored by the Qin army, if it hadn't been for the rescue of this unknown person in front of them, I am afraid that they would have been dead corpses by now.

"Dare to ask Engong's surname, we will have a retribution." Among them, Han Cheng spoke first, and Zhao Xie and Wei Ji also asked one after another, and said kindness.

What's more, the tall man in black didn't appreciate it at all, and only heard him snort coldly and said with great disdain: "Aftermath? Hmph, even if you escape from Yangwu County safely now, you must be living a life of fleeing everywhere, you think that the Black Ice Platform of Qin State is a vegetarian. Let me tell you the truth, the assassination you planned has failed, and you are now just a bunch of lost dogs, how do you say to repay me? ”

"What, failed?" The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and then they didn't feel distressed, there could be a second assassination of the First Emperor, but the assassins summoned this time were their years of hard work, and they didn't know how much money and time it would take to start all over again.

"What do you think, or why are you here?" The man in black sneered again and again, and finally said: "The reason why your plan failed is because of Zhao Jun, he is now very valued by the First Emperor, and he was specially sent by the First Emperor to deal with you remnants, if it wasn't for someone inside them who told me the news in advance, hehe"

After hearing this, the three of them were stunned again, it turned out that it was destroyed by Zhao Jun, but when they came back to their senses, they asked again: "Then why did you help us?" ”

After hearing this, the tall man in black suddenly smiled gloomily: "Good question, haha, let me tell you, there is no charity in the world for no reason, I can save you today, and I can kill you in the future, and even if I don't kill you, with your current situation, you will never be able to escape the pursuit of the Qin army." ”

"And what do you want us to do? To tell you, we are not coerced. When the three of them heard this, their expressions of gratitude disappeared without a trace, and they were replaced by fear and anger.

"Then it's up to you!" The man in black said coldly, and finally said gloomily: "But don't worry, I have a common enemy with you, whether it is a personal feud or a national hatred, as long as I escort you away later, that Zhao Jun will not survive for three days, and it can be regarded as revenge for you first, as for what I want you to do, it is your public enemy, presumably you will not reject it." ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and asked tentatively, "Dead Qin?" ”

The man in black nodded after hearing this: "That's right." ”

"But if I'm not mistaken, you should be someone next to the emperor, if you want to kill the emperor, it's so easy, why are you in another way?" Among them, Han Cheng suddenly asked.

"You are very smart, but you are also very stupid, you used to die in the first emperor, Qin can die?" The man in black shook his head and said with great disdain.

Zhao Xie retorted: "Isn't it, as soon as the first emperor dies, the world will inevitably be in chaos, and the six kingdoms will be restored in the troubled times." ”

After hearing this, the man in black suddenly glared at him, and said angrily: "How can there be a fool like you in Zhao Kingdom, hmph, you think that the northern and southern armies are vegetarians, if they don't wait for them to be completely mired in the quagmire of the civil war, they can wave their troops to the south and north at any time, and then you can only be exterminated by the First Emperor one by one as you were back then, and become lambs to be slaughtered." ”

Zhao Xie was suddenly stunned when he was scolded by the man in black, how could this person be so angry.

Wei Qi asked unwillingly at this time: "But if the first emperor doesn't die, how can the world be chaotic?" ”

The man in black said with extreme disdain: "Hmph, that's because you think too highly of him, he is also a human being, not a god, and when the Qin State ** squeezes the people of the world to the limit, let alone one first emperor, even ten first emperors can't suppress the raging fire in the world."

So what you have to do now is to demagoguery and secretly accumulate strength, and when that day comes, you can overthrow the Qin Dynasty in one fell swoop, you can rest assured, I will fully support you, and your revival of your country will have nothing to do with me in the future, but before that, you must follow my orders to do what you want to do, otherwise it will be death, two paths, you can choose one of them. ”

The three of them were stunned after hearing this, although this person said it well, but once he was controlled, he would be controlled for the rest of his life, how could he be so easy to get out of.

Either they are controlled by men or they die, and the dignity of their noble birth does not allow them to live like puppets, but human nature gradually makes them succumb.

"Okay, we promise you, dare to ask what your identity is in Qin, and which country is in the Six Kingdoms?" The three of them looked at each other and agreed, no matter what, it was better to die than to live.

The man in black snorted coldly: "Since you agreed, then do a good job, I will secretly support you, don't ask if you have any excess, just accumulate strength with peace of mind." ”

The three of them held their breath when they heard this, and they couldn't help but feel a deep sense of humiliation from the bottom of their hearts, but they were forced to accept the reality of the situation, and only hoped that after returning to the country, this person could fulfill his promise and get rid of his relationship.

"Alright, you guys go, I'll send someone to see you off now." The man in black spoke last, and then he had to order someone to send them down the mountain.

However, at this moment, suddenly a burst of laughter sounded not far away: "Haha! ”

"Who?" The man in black and the twelve subordinates, as well as Zhao Xie and the three, were all shocked.
