Li Shen, King of Qin......

It was the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin......

At the next hour, in the ice city, the main camp of the Zhou army, in the headquarters of the commander Xie An, a large group of generals of the Zhou army were crowded in the dark, looking at the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, who was placed on the wooden plank.

There was no sound in the entire handsome office, only the sound of the generals pumping and spitting one after another.

After a long time, Liang Cheng, the commander of the Great Liang Army, couldn't help it, looked at Ma Dan with a happy face, licked his lips and said hesitantly, "Ma Shuai, won't you directly snatch back the results captured by our army last time?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the generals of the Great Liang Army nodded one after another, and looked at Ma Dan with puzzled eyes.

"How so!" Ma Dan shook his head with a smile, spread his hands and said, "Ma Mou has never entered Maicheng, but according to Liu Qing's orders, he divided a few small troops to ambush outside the city, waiting for Li Shen, the king of Qin, to throw himself into the net!" - This Li Shen, but I finally intercepted it! ”

"Really?" Looking at the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and then at Ma Dan, Liang Cheng still had a little dazed in his eyes.

"It's true!" Ma Dan said with an oath.

"But......" Turning his head to look at the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, Liang Cheng said with a strange expression, "But this is too similar?" ”

Seeing that Liang Cheng seemed to be a little unconvinced, Ma Dan took a few steps forward, tore open the chest clothes of the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, pointed to an arrow wound and a gunshot wound on it, and said, "Look at these two wounds!" ——At that time, Ma was ambushed outside the city, just as Liu Qing's military division expected, he saw this Li Shen escape from the city under the escort of hundreds of guards from a distance, how could Ma let go of this opportunity? Kill it now! Li Shen saw that Ma still wanted to escape, but was hit by Ma's arrow in the shoulder socket and fell off the horse...... After that, Ma led the army to kill Li Shen's guards. originally wanted to capture Li Shen alive, but he didn't expect him to panic, and when he saw that he couldn't escape, he planned to fight with Ma Mou, intending to break through, and Ma had to kill the killer! - These scars are proof! ”

"......" Liang Cheng was silent when he heard this, from the side. Cheng Yang, the general of the Great Liang Army, carefully looked at the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and slowly shook his head and said, "Li Shen, the king of Qin, who was brought back at the end of the last round, died by suicide, and his throat was cut, and this ...... The throat is intact, not the same person......"

Hearing this, Ma Dan showed a little smile on his face and said with a smile. "It's not the same person!"

"But in this way......" Liang Cheng said with a strange look on his face, "This Qin King Li Shen ...... How many people are there, exactly? ”

The generals in the house looked at each other when they heard this, after all, the first two rì Chengyang also brought back a corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and then was forced to return it to the Baishui Army due to the deterrence of thunder, but now rì, Ma Dan brought back a corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin. What's worse is that it's not the same corpse.

Could it be that Li Shen, the king of Qin, knew immortal arts. Can you bring the dead back to life?

Glancing at each other, the generals of the Great Liang Army felt a chill on their backs.

Looking at the strange expressions of the generals in the room, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little funny, but in addition to being funny, he couldn't help but recall a certain past event.

That was when Jin Ling'er made a big fuss in Jijing, at that time. In order to prove that he was more outrageous than his brother Li Wei, the fifth son of the emperor, Li Cheng, put his brother under house arrest and threatened Jin Ling'er with hostages to eradicate the third son of the emperor Li Shen for him.

In desperation, Jin Linger sneaked into Li Shen's mansion on Chaoyang Street late at night and successfully assassinated Li Shen, who was reading a book in the study.

I remember that this incident caused a sensation throughout Jijing. Even Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, was furious.

However, after the palace forcing incident, Li Shen appeared in front of Xie An again unharmed, although the eldest grandson Xiangyu had reminded Xie An that Li Shen had not been assassinated, but Xie An was still scared half to death.

After all, Xie An was the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple at the time, and he was the official responsible for cleaning up Li Shen's corpse, and he had obviously seen the tragic situation of Li Shen falling to his death in a pool of blood, but as a result, this guy appeared in front of Xie An alive again, even in the daytime when the yang energy was extremely heavy, Xie An still felt as if there was a cold air churning up from his spine.

And now, seeing a large group of generals in the house staring at the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, in a daze, Xie An finally felt a little more balanced in his heart.

"Rest assured, Li Shen, the king of Qin, is not an immortal who knows anything that can bring the dead back to life, nor is he a life-seeking demon who escaped from the ghost gate...... They are all human beings, living people! As if seeing through the thoughts of the generals, Xie An explained calmly.

"Yes...... But how can a man die twice? And the cause of death is very different......" Dian Ying, the general of the Great Liang Army, said strangely.

As soon as the words fell, Liang Cheng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It shouldn't be the same person, but it's ...... If what Ma Shuai brought back was really Li Shen, the king of Qin, then who was brought back by Chengyang last time? - The two look exactly the same......"

Xie An smiled when he heard this, and was about to speak, but Liu Qing beside him preemptively revealed the secret.

"It's very simple, it's Li Shen's stand-in! - Is that right, Lord Xie? ”

Xie An, who was robbed of Liu Qing's words, held his breath in his chest and couldn't get up or down, so he didn't feel uncomfortable, and after glancing at Liu Qing quite depressedly, he corrected angrily, "It's the shadow guard!" ”

"Shadow guards?" Everyone in the room pricked up their ears and listened, after all, they realized that the secret that Xie An was about to reveal was obviously something unknown to everyone.

Everyone is curious!

"Yes, Shadow Guard!" Touching his chin, Xie An recalled and said, "This matter started many years ago...... Of course, it is not what this government has seen or heard with my own eyes, after all, this government has not appeared in Jijing five years ago...... Back then, the fourth son of the emperor, Li Mao, who is now the king of Yan, left Jijing to sit in northern Xinjiang, and then pitted the king ...... No, it was Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, who frequently visited the south of the Yangtze River, which made Li Shen's pressure increase sharply......

Previously, Li Mao, Li Xian, and Li Shen shared the pressure from the former crown prince Li Wei and the fifth son Li Cheng, and then Li Mao and Li Xian left Jijing one after another, which undoubtedly meant that Li Shen had to face the former prince Li Wei alone......

At that time, Li Wei could be said to be covering the sky with one hand in Jijing, and the first emperor did not pay much attention to the struggle of the princes, which made Li Wei think of using yīn damage tricks to eradicate dissidents, for example. Assassins were sent to assassinate ......"

When he said this, Xie An paused slightly, because he couldn't help but think of a certain elder who was kind to him, even if it was Fu Bo, an old servant in Li Shou's Anle Palace. This kind and kind old man died precisely because Xu Bi, an assassin of Jinling, was ordered by the crown prince Li Wei to assassinate Xie An, but he was mistakenly hit by the deputy car. Although it has been many years, I still think about it. Xie An still has relatives and regrets.

Seeing that Xie An paused when there was no need to pause, Gou Gong was stunned, and he was loyal to him and immediately paved the way for Xie An to relieve the siege.

"Then Li Wei also sent someone to assassinate Li Shen?"

"Not bad!" Looking at Gou Gong with kindness and nodding, Xie An continued, "Born in the emperor's family, intrigue is indispensable, open guns and hidden arrows, with Li Shen's prudence, how could he not have thought that one day he would be harmed by his siblings because of the matter of seizing the heir?" So, he was in his teens. He spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to find a lot of people with similar faces, and then asked the doctors in the house to make subtle adjustments for those people......"

"Transfiguration?" Ding Qiu interjected thoughtfully, after all, Jin Ling'er was good at disguise techniques, so he could easily think of this matter.

"It's not a makeover, it's a facelift...... Adjust bones and textures. The cost of it is far from being comparable to that of a transfiguration with a personal skin mask......" said this. Xie An couldn't help but feel a little funny, after all, according to rumors in Jijing, the money Li Shen had invested in this matter in those years was enough to equip an army of 100,000 people, and arm that army to the teeth.

"Even so, wouldn't it reveal a flaw? How can the common people dress up Li Shen? Liang Cheng asked suspiciously.

"This is Li Shen's cleverness!" glanced around at the generals in the room. Xie An lowered his voice and said, "The people who Li Shen found that were similar in appearance to him were also dressed as princes, and they were also well-read. At least, the scriptures are fluent in learning, in fact, ......" After a pause, a strange thought suddenly popped up in Xie An's heart, and he said with a strange face, "In fact, this government is also more and more suspicious that the Li Shen that this government saw in those few times is his own ......"

In all fairness, Xie An was not exaggerating when he said this, after all, the more he thought about it, the more he felt wrong, with Li Shen's cautious xìng character, how could he ambush the old emperor Li Ji in the bedroom of the old emperor Li Ji with dozens of crossbowmen in the palace forcing incident, waiting to snipe the former prince Li Wei?

You must know that in terms of the situation at that time, it cannot be ruled out that Li Cheng, the fifth son of the emperor, turned his face and killed him Li Shen on the spot.

With Li Shen's cautious personality that he didn't dare to touch even the slightest risk, would he put himself in danger?

If nothing else, Li Shen that night was also a stand-in......

Xie An even began to suspect that he had never seen the real Li Shen so far, after all, who could guarantee this kind of thing?

Hearing Xie An's explanation, the generals in the house were shocked, after all, they never thought that Li Shen would be so meticulous that it was not enough to find a stand-in with a similar appearance, but also specially invited someone to teach those stand-ins knowledge, and let them dress up as princes in peace, and slowly accumulate the temperament of the superior, which is simply incredible.

"What about the one that Ma Shuai killed?" Liang Cheng pointed to the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, placed on the wooden board, and asked suspiciously, "Is he Li Shen, the king of Qin?" Still is...... Still just a shadow guard? ”

"Well......" Xie An touched his chin and was silent, after all, he was not familiar with Li Shen, the king of Qin, at all, and even, he gradually began to wonder if he had seen Li Shen, the king of Qin, himself.

So, a room full of people looked at Liu Qing.

Although it hurt the self-esteem of the boys a little, everyone had to admit that at this moment, Liu Qing was the smartest in the house, and even, looking at the world, it was really difficult to find a few wise men comparable to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Liu Qing and Li Xian.

It is undeniable that when Yingong was young, he was also rich and talented, but the so-called talented people in the country, today's Yingong is no longer young, and it is difficult to keep up with the footsteps of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Liu Qing, and Li Xian.

Seeing that everyone in the room turned their eyes to herself, Liu Qing thought deeply and exhaled, in fact, after hearing about Li Shen's deeds, she didn't dare to guarantee whether the Li Shen she killed this time was the real Qin King Li Shen.

But when she thought about it, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her plan.

I have to say that Li Shen, the king of Qin, is indeed an extremely difficult opponent, and many tricks that can be used on others have not necessarily had any effect on this person. Even. It is not even known whether the plan succeeded or not, and this is the most troublesome point.

It's like Liu Qing came up with a clever plan to get rid of an opponent, under normal circumstances, if that opponent is killed, it undoubtedly means that the plan has been successfully implemented. But this doesn't work for Li Shen, the king of Qin, who knows if it was the real King of Qin or the fake King of Qin who died?

It is undeniable that Liu Qing, who is curious with soldiers, is indeed the most feared opponent of the cautious Li Shen, but on the other hand, Li Shen, the king of Qin, is also a tempering for Liu Qing to grow, if she can cross this hurdle, then the gap between her and the eldest grandson Xiangyu will be reduced to a level that will even make the eldest grandson Xiangyu feel secretly frightened.

"It should be true......" carefully reviewed his strategy again. But Liu Qing still couldn't make a judgment with certainty, and after thinking about it for a while, she said calmly, "But for the sake of prudence, let's pay attention to the dynamics of the rebel army!" - General Ma Dan, in the next few years, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the main division will temporarily avoid the counterattack of the White Water Army. This division wants you to keep an eye on the rebel army's every move! ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

Thereafter a tael rì. The Zhou army was intensively preparing for the war, after all, even Liu Qing felt that the Li Shen killed this time should be Li Shen, the king of Qin, and not a stand-in, after all, she took the initiative to attack this time. Instead of going through the Qizhi link like last time.

I have to say that Liu Qing still underestimated Li Shen. In fact, with prudence alone, how could Li Shen make Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, jealous? Tell the former prince Li Wei to get rid of him quickly?

Maybe Li Shen is indeed inferior to Li Xian in terms of resourcefulness, but. He is by no means an ordinary person, as can be seen from one thing. Among Li Ji's several sons, except for the fourth Li Mao, who values martial arts and light literature and looks down on literati, so there are almost no staff members around him, even Li Xian, the king of the eight sages, has Jiangnan Yicai Ji Hong, who is known as Wumi Shi, to help him give advice and act as a personal guard and a staff member, but Li Shen has no staff, if his shadow guards who also have staff knowledge are not counted.

But from this point, it is not difficult to see that Li Shen is still quite conceited about his resourcefulness, and even the evolution of things is as he expected. He has almost deceived Liu Qing!

After a little or two, Mai Cheng still looked lifeless, and did not go out to avenge his lord Li Shen, the king of Qin, as Liu Qing had guessed.

How so?

Could it be that the second Li Shen is not Li Shen, the king of Qin, himself?

Even Xie An and Qin Ke'er in the Shuai Institute couldn't care about scolding each other for being shameless, Liu Qing frowned and pondered.

Wrong......

Should...... Is this the most likely thing to happen?

Qin King Li Shen cheated to death before, even if the Baishui soldiers under his command did not know what it was, but the thunder and the three army commanders under his command should know, so that the thunder could come out without changing his face and turn the tide......

Yes, yes, yes!

The lord to whom he was loyal was dead, how could that thunder still maintain his composure? Unless he has some ulterior motives!

And this seems to be the sign that neither the thunder nor the White Water Army is standing still, which is the most in line with the state of affairs......

The lord is dead, how can the soldiers under his command not be affected!

If this guy dies, I'm afraid the entire Zhou army will collapse because of this......

"......" Liu Qing silently glanced at Xie An, who was hugging Qin Ke'er ** on the bed in the corner, and gritted her teeth in her heart with deep contempt.

However, why does it seem that it does not advance and does not retreat, and does not retreat?

Liu Qing was a little puzzled, after all, in her opinion, Zhen Lei was an extremely outstanding fierce general and commander, and it was hard to imagine that he would do nothing and wait for Rìzi to pass.

You must know that the Zhou army also has a tiger and wolf army led by Li Cheng, the king of Anling, who is heading towards this place!

Just as Liu Qing was thinking about it, suddenly, a scout hurriedly walked in outside the house, knocking on the ground and proclaiming, "Lord Qiyu, Qiyu military advisor, the little one came to report on the order of Ma Shuai, the rebel army of Maicheng seems to be intending to retreat in the northwest direction!" ”

"What? The rebel army is ready to retreat? With an exclamation, even Xie An, who was with Qin Ke'er, was shocked, turned his head and asked in surprise.

"Yes!"

"Is this news accurate?"

"Our army has witnessed with our own eyes that several armies in Maicheng have successively retreated in the direction of Yuquan Mountain in the northwest...... Right now, Ma Shuai is still monitoring the movements of the rebel army near Maicheng! ”

"Actually withdrawing troops?" Muttering to himself, Xie An and Liu Qing glanced at each other, and an idea popped up in their hearts.

Could it be that what Ma Dan killed this time was really Li Shen, the king of Qin?

"Are you planning to withdraw to Hanzhong?" Standing up and walking to the table, Xie An flattened the marching map and muttered solemnly, "Although Li Shen, the king of Qin, is dead, his family is still in Hanzhong, so he retreats to Hanzhong?" But...... Why retreat now? If you want to retreat, you can have already retreated some time ago......"

"Also, the rebel army's choice of a retreat route is a bit of a problem......" After Xie An's words, Liu Qing frowned and said in a deep voice, "Even if you want to withdraw to Hanzhong, it is obviously faster to return to Hanzhong through Dangyang and from the east side of Jingshan Mountain, why do you want to retreat to Yuquan Mountain in the west-northwest?" Do you plan to go to Yiling, Linfang, and return to Hanzhong via Badong? It's for ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Qing's voice stopped abruptly, and at the same time, Xie An seemed to have thought of something, and the two called out a name in unison.

"No wonder the rebel army will retreat, and they don't even dare to take revenge on the Zhou army...... No wonder they don't dare to go to the ...... of the sun."

I see!

Is the reinforcements of the Jijing Imperial Court, which had been delayed for nearly two months in Yan and Henan Prefectures, finally about to arrive at the battlefield in Nanjun?

King Anling, Li Cheng! ……)
