Chapter 178: Assassination after Assassination
The north gate of Xianyang goes straight to Beihan, passing through the palace group of the six countries, it is Ganquan Mountain! In this mountain, which was designated as the forbidden garden of the imperial city, there were a total of 12 palaces and 11 pavilions, and most of their functions and names were related to the war against the Xiongnu and other Hu people.
Today, Ganquan Palace, the dormitory of Empress Li Yan of Great Qin, is the grandest of the more than 20 palace towers.
In the most secluded valley of Ganquan Mountain, there is a small palace, Donghu Palace. This Donghu Palace is a small shogunate that planned the war against Hu in Liaodong in the past, and there were more than a dozen Sima of the State Captain's Mansion in the past, and the four walls were hung with maps of Donghu, and all the news about the war in Liaodong and Jiuyuan was gathered here. And the Yinshan Palace, which can be compared to Ganquan Palace, is the palace shogunate that planned the war against the main force of the Xiongnu, and it was changed to the emperor's dormitory after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms.
In the more than ten years after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Qin Empire were busy on a continuous axis, except for a few big hunting tours, the first emperor was buried in the Xianyang Palace to bury his head in the mountains and seas of the world's urgent affairs, and almost all the palaces in Guanzhong did not have the footprints of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Qin Empire. Only Ganquan Palace is different, because it is located on the Jiuyuan Straight Road, it has become a de facto royal post station. The first emperor went north to Jiuyuan to inspect, and he would stay in Ganquan Palace for a few days.
Even so, Ganquan Palace is still very deserted, and the deepest palace pavilion obviously has a deserted atmosphere. It was only with the arrival of Queen Li Yan that she gradually recovered her grandeur a little bit.
And Donghu Palace, although small, but in the many palaces in this Ganquan Mountain, the meaning is different. It is not only the place where His Majesty the First Emperor in the past rested, but also the place where His Majesty the Second Emperor was born.
The first queen of Daqin was set up in Ganquan Palace, and it was obvious that Ying Teng also had some considerations.
When Jing Yun arrived at Ganquan Palace, Li Si had already gotten into the carriage and was preparing to return to Xianyang!
Hearing the guard's report, Li Si, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Let him in!" ”
A moment later, the burly Jing Yun appeared in Li Si's carriage!
Looking at Jing Yun Li Si, who was kneeling on one knee, he frowned and said softly, "What's the matter!?" ”
Jing Yun knew very well why Li Si was like this. He has never appeared in front of people who have been walking in the dark, and this time he actually found Ganquan Palace directly, how could he be satisfied with Li Si, who is particular about everything.
"Back to my lord, the assassin has been captured alive!" Jing Yun said in a low voice. This time the matter was indeed too urgent, otherwise he would not have come to find Li Si directly!
When Li Si heard Jing Yun's words, his body shook suddenly, and two terrifying lights appeared in his eyes.
"You didn't arrange it?" Li Si was silent for a moment, looking at Jing Yun and said lightly.
"Back to the adult, the villain acted according to the plan, did not inform him of the true purpose of this incident, and also put a poison bag in his mouth, and the matter could be broken with a light bite and muttering, and he would die within a few breaths. In order not to hurt His Majesty, the villain even sneaked in to attract the attention of the guards in order to startle the snake! It's just that for some reason he didn't take the poison sac after the assassination, so he was captured! ”
Jing Yun explained in a low voice!
The net in Ren Lisi's hand is all over the world, and it is impossible to know that the eunuch has always had a crush on Concubine Li, and he has been obsessed to the point of dementia. It is precisely because of this that after he stabbed Concubine Li, he forgot the poison sac in his mouth and fell into the hands of Hu Hai.
"Who was hurt?"
"As expected by the adults, after Long Wei found the villain, the sound alarmed Concubine Li, and she blocked the assassination for His Majesty!"
"How's the injury?"
"The villain doesn't know!"
"The man has been captured, and all those involved tonight know how to behave! Be quick! A faint cold light flashed in Li Si's eyes.
"This ......" Although he had expected in his heart that the result would be like this, but when he really heard the words from Li Si's mouth, Jing Yun was still hesitant and shocked!
He planned tonight's events, and he knew very well how much he had paid to plan tonight's events! Many dark chess pieces that could have played a more important role were exposed in advance, and after the matter was over, they would inevitably die!
But now, after the assassin has been caught, it is clear that Lees is going to kill everyone who knows about tonight and participated in tonight's assassination! There are a lot of his original brothers!
"My lord, let them go out and leave Xianyang!" For the first time, Jing Yun put forward his own opinion on Li Si's decision!
"How Long Wei and the Black Ice Terrace are, you know better than the old man. After that, send more gold silk and other things to their homes! Li Si said softly!
Li Si's words have come to this point, and Jing Yun knows that it is irretrievable! Silently hang your head!
"The rest, let's get started!" Li Si stretched out his hand for the first time and patted Jing Yun's shoulder.
"Whoa!" Feeling the power contained in the thin palm above his shoulder, Jing Yun was stunned and said!
A moment later, Jing Yun left Li Si's convoy without a sound.
…… Li Si's carriage slowly traveled along Neishijun Avenue towards Xianyang City. The section from Xianyang to Ganquangong is one of the main roads in Neishi County, with wide and flat forests and towering trees, and the meteorological regulations are the same as those of Guanwai Avenue.
In the dense forests on both sides of the avenue, dozens of masked black-clothed people appeared silently, agilely shuttling through the dense jungle, silently surrounding Li Si's convoy walking on the avenue.
Tonight, the moon is clear and cloudy.
More than 100 guards escorted Li Si's carriage slowly. Li Si's escort commander is called Yun Pei, and he is a master in the Great Qin Longxi Army. Yun Pei rode his horse and walked at the front of the carriage.
Yun Pei, who had gone through countless battles, soon discovered the anomalies of the dense forests on both sides of the avenue.
It's so quiet!
It's too quiet to be normal!
Yun Pei suddenly raised his hand and signaled the convoy to stop!
"Keep a snack! Be careful......"
"Whew!"
Yun Pei had just turned around and wanted to tell all the guards to be careful of the assassins, when there was a sudden wind in the dense forest, and dozens of figures suddenly rushed out of the dense forest on both sides of the avenue, and quickly rushed towards Li Si's carriage.
"Assassin! Protect the Prime Minister! ”
At this moment, there is no need for Yun Pei to remind you, all the guards also know that there are assassins! With Yun Pei's loud shouts, more than fifty of the more than one of the more than a hundred guards quickly surrounded Li Si's carriage, and the remaining fifty or so people under the leadership of Yun Pei rushed up to the dozens of black-clothed people who rushed out of the dense forests on both sides of the avenue!
This is Xianyang!
How could there be assassins in Xianyang? And he came to assassinate Li Si, the prime minister of Great Qin!
Although he had doubts in his heart, it was clear that the most important thing now was to protect Li Si.
Fortunately, the narrowest avenue in Neishi County is more than ten zhang wide, and the road from Xianyang to Ganquan Palace is more than thirty zhang wide! Li Si's carriage drove in the middle of the road, at least ten feet away from the dense forests on both sides, so as to avoid a sudden attack!
The distance of more than ten zhang is long and short, and Yun Pei and the others fought with the black-clothed man who rushed over in a moment.
"Ahh
As soon as the two sides were engaged, one of Yun Pei's guards was killed on the spot by the man in black who pounced! The terrible screams before dying are especially clear in the silence of the night!
This tragic cry did not fall, followed by several muffled snorts, and the guards who had obviously been injured Li Si obviously did not anticipate the fierceness of these black-clothed people, so in less than a moment after the battle, several guards were injured or even killed! Under the extremely ferocious slaughter of these black-clothed men, the guards who came up to them retreated one after another!
These guards have been by Li Si's side, and there are too many comfortable times! The Yun Sect didn't expect that with the same number of people, these guards under his command would not be able to stop these black-clothed assassins at all!
In a moment, more than fifty guards who came up had already laid down more than a dozen, but the man in black only lay down four and injured two! The man in black deceived him more than three feet, and he was only three feet away from Li Si's carriage!
If you talk about martial arts alone, how bad can you be who can act as the escort of Li Si, the prime minister of Great Qin? But the martial arts of these black-clothed assassins are only a little bit worse than Li Si's guards, and the most important thing is that the black-clothed assassins who came out from both sides of the dense forest are not much more ferocious than Li Si's guards, and at the same time, they are more than one grade higher than Li Si's guards when they cooperate and advance and retreat in an orderly manner.
At this time, Li Si's guards all knew that if they retreated, they would kill Li Si's carriage! One accidentally put Li Si, the benefactor, in danger, and finally began to be ruthless, and gradually gained a foothold under the tenacious fighting, and the battle suddenly fell into a state of anxiety!
After a while, Yun Pei saw that there were no black-clothed people in the dense forest to come to support, and he was immediately relieved!
With Yun Pei's order, more than 50 guards who were originally guarding around Li Si's carriage suddenly killed more than 30 people, leaving only more than 20 people on guard around Li Si's carriage.
The addition of these more than 30 people suddenly caused the black-clothed assassins who were originally far fewer than Li Si's guards to rapidly decrease! In just a few breaths, there are only a dozen people left in black!
Seeing that the situation was not right, after a roar, the remaining dozen or so black-clothed assassins turned around and fled, without dragging mud and water into the dense forest, and there was no trace of them in less than a moment!
There were corpses all over the place around Lees's carriage!
A rich smell of blood flows in the night sky!
"Count the casualties and bury them when you return home!! Let's go! ”
From the appearance of the assassin to the escape of the assassin, Li Si, who has been in the carriage all his life, has not made any sound! It was only at this moment that the carriage came from the voice of Li Si's old man, as calm as ever! It seems that these men in black have just assassinated him not him!
"Whoa!"
…… At the same time that the Great Qin Zuo Prime Minister and Taifu Li Si who returned to Xianyang were assassinated, the general, Taibao Meng Tian, the national lieutenant, and the Taishi Wei, who learned the news of the emperor's assassination, were also assassinated by dozens of black-clothed people on the way to Xianyang Palace!
Meng Tian is surrounded by Great Qin elite soldiers, but there is no big problem! But Taishi Wei Yu was almost stabbed to death! If it weren't for the timely arrival of the soldiers of the Lieutenant's Mansion, I'm afraid that Wei Yu would have become a corpse!
Tonight's Xianyang is destined to be unpeaceful!
