The wine syrup stored by the villagers could not be as sweet as the wine of the palace, but it had a different sweet taste when drunk in Liu Wei's mouth.

The villagers who enjoyed the harvest sang and danced to celebrate the catch of a full cabin of fish.

At this time, on the bank of a river beach a little far from the village, more than a dozen men were huddled next to each other, curled up and sitting together.

When Liu Wei left the palace, he did not ask to bring the guards, and they, the guards who came to protect them secretly, had to suffer a lot.

More than a dozen guards dressed in the people's dark clothes gnawed on the dry food they had brought with them, while looking at the small village where a bonfire was lit in the distance.

"Your Highness eats fish in the village, and I'll wait here to eat dry food!" One of the guards took a bite of the cake made of corn flour in his hand, and muttered: "It is really not as comfortable as following His Highness to protect in such secrets." ”

"If you want to eat fish, you can go to the village!" As soon as the guard's words fell, another guard jokingly interjected: "Look at General Wang, he will tear your skin!" ”

The guard, who had just grunted in displeasure, pursed his lips and looked at the bonfire in the small village before saying a word.

Just as the dozen or so guards looked at the village, the guards sitting in the most corner suddenly drew their long swords and stood up violently.

While the guard stood up, the other guards also heard the sound of the horse's hooves, and hurriedly drew their long swords, stood up, and looked in the direction from which the horses' hooves came.

In the distance, the sound of villagers singing and dancing could be heard in the small village, but the sound of horses' hooves was unusually clear in the ears of the guards.

The sound of horses' hooves was not chaotic, and from the dull sound of the orderly stamping of the ground, the guards could hear that there was only a fast horse rushing towards them.

The sound of hooves became clearer and clearer, and finally, in the sight of the guards, a figure on a fast horse appeared.

The man on horseback was very tall and wore a wide-brimmed bamboo hat on his head.

This kind of thing is only more popular in the rainy riverside in the south, and some people wear hats in the Luoyang area, which really makes people feel a little strange.

Seeing the figure of that person, more than a dozen guards couldn't help but be a little nervous, and they all held their swords and faced the person who was getting closer and closer to them.

The man on the horse rode his horse to a place only seven or eight paces away from them, and with a sharp lift of the reins, the horse under his crotch neighed and the man stood up.

The ground near the river was very damp, and the two front hooves of the horse that stood up fell to the ground, and apart from making a dull noise, not even a speck of dust was raised.

Holding a sword and confronting the man, the guards were a little nervous in their hearts.

Although there is only one person on the other side, the guards who practice swordsmanship can be regarded as quite accomplished, but they can see that this person's swordsmanship attainments are definitely not comparable to any of them.

"Who are you?" A guard with a long sword in his hand strode forward as the man reined in his horse, and asked the man coldly.

The man on horseback didn't say a word, he didn't even lift the hat, but just patrolled the more than a dozen guards in front of him with a pair of eyes like knives.

When looking at the more than ten guards, the man on horseback was like looking at a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and his gaze made the guards feel very uncomfortable.

After confronting the guards for a moment, the man on horseback did not attack them, but reached into his arms, took out a letter from his arms, and threw it at the dozen or so guards.

After throwing out the letter, the man pulled the reins, spun around his horse, and rode towards the thick night.

The letter he threw out, like a fluttering butterfly in the river breeze, flipped and danced beautifully, swaying and falling to the ground.

One of the guards stepped forward and picked up the letter.

Unfolding the letter, the guard saw that there were not too many words written on it, just a few big characters written "When the day of the new day, the king of Qin".

Seeing these words, the guard was suddenly startled in his heart, and hurriedly raised his head and looked at the night sky.

The sky was full of stars, and only a crescent moon as thin as a woman's eyebrows hung in the middle of the sky.

The last quarter moon is about to be obscured by night, and the new day is approaching.

Looking at the crescent moon in the night sky, the guard didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly shouted to the other guards beside him: "The assassin has sent a letter, assassinate His Highness in the new day!" I'll go and report to Your Highness! ”

When more than a dozen guards heard that the assassins had come to deliver the news and set a date for the assassination of the King of Qin, they did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly ran to the place where they hid their horses, turned over and jumped on horseback, and rode towards the village.

The people who were reveling in the open space in the village stopped their revelry when they heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the village.

The women and their children ran into the house as fast as they could, while the men looked for a place to fight in the village.

The villagers reacted quickly, and they were still reveling, but they only responded at the moment when the horses' hooves came, and it was obvious that they had done no less work to deal with the surprise attacks of foreign enemies on weekdays.

Tao Huanniang and Cui Gu returned home together to hide, Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, frowned slightly, looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came, and didn't even say a word.

Wang Liu and Wang Zhen had already drawn their long swords and stood on the left and right sides of Liu Wei respectively, quietly waiting for the horseback riders outside the village to come here.

When more than a dozen figures riding horses appeared in Wang Liu and Wang Zhen's sight, the two glanced at each other, and a trace of doubt appeared on each other's faces.

They recognized the dozen or so figures, and those people were secretly arranging for them to protect Liu Wei's guards on the periphery.

These guards should be guarding the periphery, and they should not have rushed to meet Liu Wei at all.

They came, and it can only mean one thing, and that is that there is something wrong with the periphery, and it must be something they can't deal with.

Wang Liu and Wang Zhen knew who it was, but the villagers didn't know, and they still put on a posture like a great enemy one by one, just waiting for the people to arrive, and once they invaded the village, they would start a fight.

More than ten rode fast horses into the village, and without a moment's delay, they ran straight towards Liu Wei's side.

When they arrived at a place that was only more than ten steps away from Liu Wei, the guards jumped off their horses one after another, and one of them quickly ran in front of Liu Wei, half-knelt on the ground, holding the letter they had just received with both hands and said: "Your Highness, there is a letter here, I beg your Highness to return to the palace immediately!" ”

When the guard's words came out, the nearby villagers were all stunned, and their eyes looked at Liu Wei.

When the villagers saw Liu Wei for the first time, they all felt that he was very similar to Qin Wangsheng, but after thinking about it, King Qin worked hard day and night, where did he have the leisure to come here? So he took it for granted that Liu Wei was an ordinary guest.

But what they didn't expect was that this person who looked very similar to King Qin was none other than King Qin!

"Xiaomin knocks to see His Highness!" Just stunned for a moment, the centurion immediately reacted to what to do, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

As soon as the centurion knelt, all the villagers, including Zhu San, knelt down.

Turning around and raising his hand to the villagers, Liu Wei did not immediately pick up the letter in the hands of the guards, but said to the villagers: "The villagers have a bumper harvest today, and the king is also very happy!" This king only wishes that the villagers will have today every year, and there will be a present day every year! On the bank of the river, the dragon gate array laid by the king is the method of guarding the net and waiting for the fish, and the villagers can check it every two or three days, as for fishing in the river, it is still not to be wasted! ”

"Xiaomin and others remember His Highness's teachings!" Kneeling on the ground, all the villagers responded in unison, but no one dared to look up at Liu Wei more.

While the men of the village were kneeling on the ground, the women and children who had been hiding in the house also walked out of the house and knelt behind the men.

Cuigu accompanied Tao Huanniang out of the house, and heard the villagers call Liu Wei as "Your Highness", even if Cui Gu was stupid, she still knew that Tao Huanniang was the woman of King Qin.

Accompanying Tao Huanniang out, Cui Gu wanted to reach out to help Tao Huanniang, but she was afraid of being abrupt, and she didn't dare to really stretch out her hand several times.

Seeing Aunt Cui like this, Tao Huanniang smiled slightly, took the initiative to stretch out her hand, led Aunt Cui, and walked out of the house.

Her hand was held by Tao Huanniang, and Cuigu suddenly shook her body, as if she had been electrocuted, but she didn't dare to withdraw her hand.

Holding hands with Cuigu and going out of the house, Tao Huanniang walked to Liu Bian's side, first let go of Cuigu, and then blessed Liu Bian.

"Wang Zhen, this king thinks that you should give Cuigu an explanation!" Seeing Tao Huanniang and Cui Gu coming to the front, Liu Wei pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth and said this to Wang Zhen.

"No!" Liu Wei's identity has been exposed, and Wang Zhen has no need to hide her true identity, but there are villagers all around her, if she talks too openly, it will cause a lot of trouble to Cuigu, she first responded with a fist, and then walked to Cuigu, attached it to her ear, and whispered something.

After listening to what Wang Zhen said, Cui Gu looked at her with a stunned face, and her eye sockets were already filled with crystal tears.

"Sister Cuigu, the last general will definitely come to see you and Third Brother Zhu often in the future!" After saying a word in Cuigu's ear, Wang Zhen took Cuigu's hand, smiled sweetly at her and said, "Since we are destined, why don't you call your sister sister?" ”

When Wang Zhen said such a sentence, Zhu San, who knew what had happened, was stunned.

The "man" he chose for Cuigu, but he didn't expect it to be a female general next to King Qin, so it really made a big joke, fortunately, the villagers in the village didn't know about this, otherwise he and Cuigu would have no face to live in the village in the future.

Her hands were held by Wang Zhen, Cuigu blushed, and called softly: "Sister! ”
