One hundred miles northwest of Xianyang City, a team was marching slowly.

The wolf's head, the flames, and the black flags depict the spiritual beliefs of the Yiqu Kingdom, and the fluttering festivals indicate that this team is an embassy belonging to the Yiqu Kingdom.

"Prime Minister, there is Qi County in front. Do we move on or stay overnight in Qi County? One of the guards asked.

"Don't stop. Thirty miles more today, and we'll camp in the wilderness tonight. A majestic voice said.

Looking at the guards who were riding away, Yiquhong shook his head. Forty or fifty years ago, no one would have asked if they had set up camp to rest. At that time, if the Yiqu soldiers did not have the order of the commander, they would only march silently.

For forty years, there has been no war in Yiqu. The new generation of soldiers liked to live in the comfort of a room in the city, and although they were able to endure hardships compared to their fathers, they began to have their own preferences between comfort and hardship.

Yiquhong firmly believes that the best soldier is a soldier without thoughts. For soldiers, it is their mission to accept the orders of their superiors unconditionally. If a soldier has a mind, begins to know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and has requirements for living conditions, it will undoubtedly be terrible. Because these factors are not under their control.

Therefore, Yiquhong did not stop in the city on every march. He was to train his soldiers and keep them awake. Goshawks still need to fight in the sky to get a one-day food, and jackals have to fight hard to thrive. A harsh environment can temper a person's will, and an arrogant environment will only make a person depraved.

When a country begins to degenerate even its army, then the country is not far from extinction. Yiquhong didn't want that to happen to his country.

Depraved? Thinking of this word, Yiquhong couldn't help but sigh. "Hey! Why can't his brother be so open! ”

He is Yiqu Hong, the only younger brother of the current King of Yiqu, and the prime minister of Yiqu State. It's just that, if possible, he would rather give up his current power and wealth in exchange for a vigorous and ambitious Yiqu king.

Yiquhong still remembers that thirty-three years ago, before his brother Wang went to Xianyang, he called himself to his side and said earnestly, "Now that the King of Qin is newly mourned, the newly established King of Qin is just a stinky kid." When I go to Xianyang to listen to the truth, if there is an opportunity, I will send troops to Xianyang and regain the glory that belongs to our Yiqu. Brother Hong, I'm leaving, you have to guard my home for me! ”

At that time, Yiquhong was only 25 years old. From childhood to adulthood, he regarded King Yiqu as his role model, his bravery, his cunning, and his ambition were all places for him to learn.

Yiqu Hong will not forget Jì, when he was young, he was just a playful child, but his brother Wang was already worried about the future of Yiqu Kingdom. For this reason, Brother Wang has been working hard to practice martial arts, and at the coming-of-age ceremony, others usually hunt a blue wolf, but he hits a tiger. He led the army to conquer the east and west, and the most glorious thing was that when he was twenty-one years old, he led the army to break the Qin army and beheaded 20,000.

But four years later, the 300,000 troops of the Qin State attacked, attacked from three sides, and Yiqu was defeated. This made his young brother Wang frustrated and annoyed, and began to think about how to defeat the greatest enemy of the Qin State. It is not possible to act brutely, and this defeat shattered Brother Wang's idea of the supremacy of force. The advanced equipment of the Qin State, the unheard-of battle array, and the qiē and qiē all attracted Brother Wang's mind.

So there was a pilgrimage to Qin, in addition to testing the Qin State, it was more about observing and learning the Qin State at close range. It's just that I didn't expect that Brother Wang would never come back.

This is thirty-three years, thirty-three years, and he has become an old man from a young man. His brother's heart may have died a long time ago! Now he only has the woman Mi Bazi in his heart, he said that he met true love, he said that his addiction to wine was just to paralyze the Qin State, and he said that the future of Yiqu would be handed over to himself!

When he received such a letter from Brother Wang, Yiquhong was furious. He didn't understand why the ambitious Wang brother completely lost himself when he saw Mi Bazi. Didn't he know that Yiqu Kingdom needed him more than Mi Bazi? Doesn't he know that what the Yiqu Kingdom needs is a brave and indomitable king, not a man like himself?

Every three years, Yiquhong travels tirelessly between Xianyang and Qingyang. He hoped that one day his royal brother would wake up and return to the royal city of Yiqu. But each time, Yiquhong returned disappointed.

Brother Wang and that woman had children, and there was more than one. He had seen those two so-called "nephews", who were bloodless and obsessed with lust, far inferior to Brother Wang's eldest son in Qingyang. It's just that God is so unfair, but his most optimistic nephew died of illness.

"This is the last time I will come to Xianyang." Yiquhong swore secretly.

He decided to have a showdown with his brother Wang, who was getting old and it was time to choose the heir of Jiequ. No matter who he chooses, he will be a good assistant as Uncle Wang. The most important thing is that he wants to bring back the crown prince earlier. Perhaps, it's still too late.

The sunset is getting lower and lower, elongating the figure of the line. Yiquhong finally gave the order to set up camp. A group of 800 people began to get busy.

Smoke curled and the moon climbed the treetops. Looking at the people around him who were singing and dancing, eating the roasted whole sheep on the grassland, Yiquhong's mood suddenly improved. This kind of life is what you yearn for, and this kind of life should be the life that belongs to the people of Yiqu. Sitting respectfully and respectfully like the people of the Central Plains, chewing and swallowing slowly, Yiquhong disdainful.

A chirp rang out, breaking the hilarious atmosphere.

"Protect the Prime Minister!" Immediately, a few guards protected Yiquhong, but after a while, no expected assassins appeared or the army rushed to the camp, and it was unusually quiet.

"Prime Minister, this is Ming Di just now. His subordinates have already sent people to chase the archers. One of his attendants knelt down on one knee and respectfully offered the chirping with both hands.

Mingdi is the arrow used by the northern dog Rong to transmit messages and warnings, but it appeared in the heart of Xianyang tonight, which is obviously unusual.

"Prime Minister, beware of poison. Let me take it apart! The leader of the family said kindly.

Yiquhong waved his hand and refused the kindness of the leader. "It's okay, if the other party has malicious intentions, they will definitely not use Ming Di."

When you take it apart, it is a small silk silk, but the information on it is amazing: "King Yiqu is dead, beware of night attacks!" The short nine words made Yiquhong's face change, looking at the pale Yiquhong, the guards panicked.

Raising his head weakly, Yiquhong motioned to the guards to also look at the silk silk in his hand.

"What? The king is dead! That's impossible! ”

"Prime Minister, this must be someone with bad intentions to drive a wedge between us and the Qin State. When we arrive in Xianyang tomorrow, the truth will naturally come to light. ”

"Prime Minister, let us protect you and retreat first! After the subordinates verify the news, it's not too late to go to Xianyang! ”

Suddenly, different people offered advice out of concern or out of interest. Yiquhong also recovered from the shock at this time, waved his hand, and said: "Now we can't check whether this news is slanderous or true, no matter what, we can't take it lightly." Command the scouts to go twenty miles ahead, and the wind and grass around twenty miles, I want to be clear. Tonight's night duty personnel have doubled, and everyone is undressed and waiting for the day. ”

"Whoa!" The crowd went away.

The night began to sink in. Just when the mission thought it was a farce and the atmosphere was a little relaxed, the scout who came forward brought a ragged man to Yiquhong.

"Prime Minister", the people who came were crying and crying, and they couldn't speak with excitement.

"You are?" Listening to the familiar Yiqu language, Yiquhong couldn't remember who the person in front of him was. The guards raised the torches in front of the arrivals, which made Yiquhong finally see the arrivals clearly.

"How are you! Why don't you serve in front of Brother Wang, why are you running here! Is it ......?"

"Prime Minister, woo, the king is dead, the two princes are dead, both are dead, woo."

"What do you say? Tell me again! Yiquhong, who was in a big mess, grabbed the neck of the visitor, and the green tendons of his powerful hands were exposed, and the visitor's face suddenly turned blue due to lack of oxygen.

"Ahem, ahem", Yi Quhong's hand suddenly let go weakly, yes, the news just now turned out to be true. The man who finally breathed greedily breathed the air.

"Woo, woo, the heads of the king and the two princes are hanging on the market, and the king of Qin said, this is just a lesson for us, and he will soon send troops to wipe out our righteous canal. I was sent to Xianyang by the king yesterday to do business, and I was spared. I heard from the people of Xianyang that we Yiqu people in Ganquan Palace were killed. Woo, they're all dead, and I'm the only one left! ”

"Fifty miles around Xianyang are full of forbidden troops, and I finally managed to escape. Prime Minister, you have to avenge us! The king, they are all dead. Woo, it's miserable! ”

Listening to the nonsense of the person who came to the next sentence without answering the previous sentence, Yiquhong came back to his senses for a long time.

"What do you say? Fifty miles away from Xianyang are all Qin troops? Then we won't have a Qin army twenty miles away! ”

And before he had finished speaking, the people felt a tremor of the earth. Qin Jun, it's coming!
