The slightly cold night shrouded the vast land of Qilu, and Qufu, the capital of the Lu king, which had existed for hundreds of years in the years, was filled with earth-shattering shouts and killings.

Countless people woke up from their nightdreams, or hid in their rooms in fear, or climbed to the roofs and walls, and looked at the fire-blazing county guard and county order in the distance.

At this time, outside the vast county guard's mansion, thousands of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers like demon gods continued to throw deadly arrows.

Soon, the county watchman's mansion turned into a sea of roasting fire, which made people dare not approach.

"The Kingdom of Qi is not dead"

"The Kingdom of Qi is not dead"

……

Hundreds of outlaws, desperately charged, shot by arrows, engulfed in fire, silent in the night.

Half an hour later, the Qin army found in the secret room the Xue County Guard, the Qufu County Commander, the corpses of several wanted Qi royal families, boxes of coins, gold cakes, and jade.

……

In the early morning, the temporary station of the military camp, Qufu Xue Palace, was quiet. When the first rays of morning light pierced through the mist, Qufu School Palace ushered in a cold morning.

On the shore of a small lake surrounded by green trees, on a cool and hard stone weighing tens of thousands of catties, Cao Yi, who was dressed in a half-old Taoist robe, sat cross-legged and meditated.

In the range of three or four meters ahead, there are countless crystal water droplets floating, which seem to be controlled by an invisible force, and these water droplets are constantly changing in various shapes, sometimes like a running deer, and sometimes, turning into a giant python roaring in the sky.

A red carp jumped out of the water, drew a graceful curve, and when it fell, it was swept into the air by the water from the bottom up, and swayed in panic.

But the water from the bottom up had no intention of stopping at all, and kept pushing up, only pushing the red carp to a height of five meters before slowly falling.

The frightened red carp hurriedly escaped into the water.

Cao Yi, who had been motionless, raised his hand, stepped forward, and rushed into the distance without wind and waves. Pull back, and the waves hit the shore.

Dozens of times like this, the whole small lake began to fluctuate, and the waves became higher and higher.

Hundreds of swimming fish turned into flying fish, shuttling through the waves, the scene is very spectacular.

"Whew"

Cao Yi exhaled a breath and slowly closed his efforts.

The waves gradually subsided, and the tossed fish fell into the lake and never came out.

"Good"

Li Si, who has been here for a while, applauded.

Cao Yi stood up, turned around, and saw that Li Si was wearing a civilian robe and carrying a bronze sword in his hand, and praised: "The prime minister was busy until the second half of the night last night before he slept, and he practiced his sword hard as soon as he woke up, no wonder his swordsmanship is so powerful." ”

Li Si said with a smile: "What kind of swordsmanship does the old man know, I haven't thanked the Taoist chief yesterday." ”

Yesterday, if it weren't for Cao Yi, his old life would have been gone, let alone become a sword saint in the mouths of hundreds of schools.

"The prime minister is too modest"

Cao Yi shook his head.

After a few more idle words, the two walked towards Yingzheng's military tent.

"Xiang Yu was sent to the north"

Li Si suddenly came out of nowhere.

Isn't Xiang Yu in Qidi? How suddenly I went to the north.

A thought flashed through Cao Yi's mind, and then looking at Li Si's smiling expression, he understood that Yingzheng was going to solve the Huns.

The northern grassland peoples, from the long past to the distant future, have always been the confidants of the Central Plains. has seen the future Yingzheng, I am afraid that he has been prepared for a long time.

Next, Li Si's words also confirmed Cao Yi's speculation: "After General Meng expelled the Xiongnu from Henan, the Xiongnu rangers repeatedly violated the border, and if it wasn't for His Majesty's constant pressure, he would have sent troops a long time ago." ”

Not long after, the two of them came to a room on the third floor of the school palace.

Heard Ying Zheng's voice: "Xue County, it has been eroded to this point!" ”

"The ministers captured a few rebels alive, they confessed, and used all kinds of means to pull the county guard and county order into the water, and their hands also reached out to other counties, and the situation in the land of Qilu was worrying. The situation is also serious in the territory of the other five countries that were destroyed. ”

Zhang Han's voice sounded.

In the house, there was silence for a while, and then Yingzheng's voice came: "Have you ever found out how many rebels have gathered in Qidi?" ”

"Han Zhang Liang, Han Gongzixin, Qi royal family, Tian Heng and his brothers Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Yan, Zhao, and Wei are not clear."

Zhang Han replied.

Maybe I don't think it's good to listen to the corner.

Li Si stepped forward and said, "Minister Li Si, bring Daoist Cao to see Your Majesty." ”

"Come in"

Ying Zheng's faint voice came from inside.

Cao Yi and Li Si went in together, and saw Yingzheng sitting on the top seat, and Zhang Han sat down on the desk below, walked over, and sat down.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and said coldly: "Reconvene those people from before, whether they are traitors or officials, arrest those who should be arrested, and kill those who should be killed." ”

Zhang Han's body was shocked, and he responded: "No"

Ying Zheng said again: "Don't use the previous name, from now on it will be renamed Black Ice Terrace." ”

Zhang Han said another promise.

"Let's go down"

Ying Zheng said lightly.

Zhang Han got up, saluted the three of them, and walked out.

Ying Zheng looked at Cao Yi at this time: "I have one thing, entrust the Taoist sect of the Taoist." ”

It was the first time Cao Yi had heard Ying Zheng speak with this word: "Your Majesty, please speak"

Ying Zheng spit out four words: "Prepare gunpowder"

Cao Yi nodded: "No problem"

After these days of teaching, the twelve disciples basically made gunpowder.

Ying Zheng stood up, walked down the steps of the upper seat, came to the window, looked into the distance and said: "General Meng, who guarded the Great Wall, reported many times that the Xiongnu, who were expelled from Henan, became stronger and stronger by annexing the surrounding tribes, and there were even signs of joining forces with Donghu to invade the south, so I decided to strike preemptively and launch the Battle of Monan. At that time, if there is enough gunpowder, it will have an unexpected effect. ”

As Li Si has just said.

Cao Yi was not surprised at all by this news.

Ying Zheng said: "I will also go, but before I go, I will lure out the remnants of the countries gathered in Qidi and preparing to plot evil, and catch them all." What can you do? ”

Good way!

Cao Yi really couldn't think of it for a while.

Li Si can't do anything, the traitor has just been fooled, and it is impossible to be fooled.

When he looked up, he saw His Majesty looking at him, and said stubbornly: "The minister has a method, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"As long as we can eliminate hidden dangers before we and the Xiongnu start a full-scale war, there is no need to talk about it."

Li Si's chirping way of speaking made Ying Zheng a little impatient.

Li Si then said: "I heard that Gongzi Huhai came from Xianyang and is about to arrive in Qufu. Gongzi Hu Hai is His Majesty's favorite son, and the whole world knows it, as long as the whereabouts of Gongzi Hu Hai are leaked......"

When Ying Zheng heard Hu Hai's name, his eyes suddenly became fierce.

Li Si thought that he had violated the taboo, and hurriedly said: "You can find someone to pretend to be the son of Hu Hai." ”

Ying Zheng shook his head: "You don't have to pretend"

Li Si was stunned, isn't Gongzi Hu Hai His Majesty's favorite son?

Next, we talked about dealing with the Huns.

Ying Zheng proposed to use the map drawn by many years of northbound business travelers to send cavalry to attack.

Li Si Lao Cheng Mouguo immediately expressed his opposition: "Your Majesty, if you are not careful, the cavalry may be wiped out, please think twice." ”

Ying Zheng refused: "Kou can go, I can also go." ”
