Huayang Palace.

Changping Jun's steps were hurried, without the slightest usual demeanor, and his face was visibly panicked.

"The Queen Mother!"

The Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Changpingjun in front of her, and when she saw his anxious appearance, she smiled slightly.

"What makes you so anxious?"

"The news just came that Wang Qi was poisoned, and Zhang Tang was stabbed and injured."

Changpingjun said with deep doubts.

"Who did it?"

"You!"

The Empress Dowager Huayang said softly, but Changpingjun's entire body was emptied, and she was stunned on the spot.

"Queen Mother, I ......"

As soon as Changping Jun's words began, he didn't know how to say next?

When the Empress Dowager Huayang saw him like this, she laughed.

"You're such an honest man!"

"Who are Wang Qi and Zhang Tang? They are all the generals of my Qin State, with heavy troops in their hands, who have been through wind and rain for a long time, and they are all better than foxes. Poisoning? Assassinate? If it was so easy, they didn't know how many times they had died. ”

"The Queen Mother means that they are pretending, but why is that?"

"Obviously, Lü Buwei has set up a bureau and wants to beat you, Cheng Chan and Zhao Shuang into traitors and uproot them. They didn't want to get involved in it, so they found an excuse and hid. ”

Listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Huayang, Changping Jun thought carefully.

"But in this way, isn't the situation very favorable to Cheng Chan?"

Wang Qi and Zhang Tang were the generals of the Qin State, and the soldiers under them were all soldiers of the Qin State. In the event of a rebellion, Lü Buwei could mobilize his elite soldiers to quell the rebellion.

The king of Qin has not yet been in power, and Lü Buwei has great power, and if he overthrows Lü Buwei, there is only one way to rebel. can really rebel, but he can't win at all.

Cheng Chan seems to have a great advantage, but he is not Lu Buwei's opponent.

Empress Dowager Huayang shook her head, and her face became serious.

"Chang'an Jun is the king's younger brother, unless he is guilty of rebellion, no matter what the crime is, the king will spare him. But the key is whether he will rebel? ”

When Changping Jun heard this, he was also muttering in his heart. Cheng Chan has gradually grown up, and he is no longer the same child as he was at the beginning. He already has his own ideas in his heart, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to listen to others.

"Lü Buwei wants to get rid of Cheng Chan, and he has no choice but to let him rebel. So he let Fan Yuzhi master the Lantian camp, which gave Cheng Chan this ability, and by the way, he brought you on. ”

"And the person who set up this game has weakened the power that Lu Buwei can use. The real key is that the granary was burned in Taiyuan, and Chang Yu was seriously injured, which is true. ”

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"Lu Buwei is pressing step by step, Cheng Chan is full of youthful spirit, if it is a real battle, it will inevitably be a bloody storm. In this way, it is quiet for the time being. Our Hanyang-kun is a big deal as soon as he makes a move. ”

"Zhao Shuang?"

When Changping Jun said this, he felt a sense of jealousy towards Zhao Shuang in his heart.

.......

Prime Minister's Office.

Lu Buwei had a gloomy face and sat in the study for an afternoon.

After being in charge of the Qin State for many years, it was the first time that Lü Buwei felt helpless.

was tricked twice by the same person in a row, and Lu Buwei couldn't be happy.

Wei Zhuang walked in from outside, his feet on the floor, his voice was very soft, but Lu Buwei was still alarmed.

"Xiangbang!"

"How's it going out there?"

"Cheng Chan's side was originally a strong soldier, but now it's quiet."

"Wang Qi was poisoned, Zhang Tang was assassinated, and everyone will focus on Chang Anjun. He was busy clearing up at this time, and it was too late, how could there be superfluous movements? ”

Lu Buwei smiled lightly, but this smile seemed a little reluctant to Wei Zhuang.

"I thought that Cheng Chan was young and vigorous, but now it seems that he is brave and strategic, and he is not so easy to deal with."

Lu Buwei's voice was a little worried, but on his desk, there were classic materials about Zhao Shuang and map drawings.

"Xiangbang is looking at Hanyang-kun's territory?"

"Zhao Shuang is not to be underestimated."

Lü Buwei originally wanted to use Zhao Shuang's breakthrough to attack Changping Jun and Cheng Chan. But now I realized that he was going in the wrong direction.

Lu Buwei raised his head slightly and sighed.

"If you continue to focus on Zhao Shuang's side, I'm afraid it will be in vain. I thought that among Zhao Shuang, Changping Jun, and Cheng Chan, Zhao Shuang was the easiest to deal with, but now it seems that he is wrong. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Three moves in a row, two moves are false, and only the last move is real. But why did you fight in Taiyuan? Lü Buwei touched his beard, "First sell horses, then burn grain." The Taiyuan Army still has military strength, but it has no ability to mobilize in a short period of time, and it needs to re-transport grain and grass. ”

After a long time, Lu Buwei smiled.

"Let all the snare assassins who dealt with Zhao Shuang be withdrawn!"

.......

Zhaojia Village.

In the mountains and forests, the startled salamander wore a mask and stood beside Zhao Shuang.

"So, the nets have been withdrawn?"

The startled salamander took off its mask, its face was a little pale, and its eyes were full of surprise.

"It's the first time I've seen it in so many years that Luo Wang has revoked the list of assassinations he promulgated."

"After you prove that you are a third-party power that can be independent of the outside, either of the two parties will naturally consider the price of continuing to entangle with you."

The startled salamander smiled and coughed, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"What are you?"

"It's an old problem, since I gave birth to Yan'er, that's it."

After the startled salamander gave birth to Tian Yan, she fell into a serious postpartum disease, coupled with the high-intensity assassination mission, and the whole body became weaker and weaker.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to last long. Is there anything else you want me to do? ”

"Go ahead and take care of yourself."

The startled salamander was a little surprised, but he didn't dig deeper, just smiled.

"The longer my life lives, the more valuable it will be to you?"

"That's true."

Zhao Shuang smiled and did not shy away from it.

The startled salamander saw it in his eyes, but he didn't feel cold, but appreciated the other party's honesty very much.

"So I retreated. Remember, you promised me the things. ”

"Don't worry!"

As soon as Zhao Shuang said a word, the figure of the startled salamander quickly disappeared in place.

The sun shines brightly, and the forest is quiet.

Zhao Shuang glanced at the direction where the startled salamander had gone and sighed.

Zhao Shuang walked out of the forest, in the mountain village, the houses were continuous, and more than 20 carriages were parked on the square in the village under the mountain, full of goods.

Five hundred armor soldiers, fully armed, armed with bows and crossbows, and long swords at their waists, stood aside.

Dian Qing saw Zhao Shuang coming and bowed his hand slightly.

"Lord, everything is ready."

"So, it's time to go to Xianyang."
