Chapter 9 Assassination by Xiang Yu
Li Yang was shocked, he never dreamed that someone would assassinate him.
Moreover, what made him feel extremely desperate was that the iron sword was so close that there was no chance to dodge it.
Li Yang thought to himself, this time he was dead.
However, just between the lightning and the tongue of fire, an iron sword stabbed out from Li Yang's side, and only "Bell!" was heard. With a bang, the two iron swords struck together, letting out a golden sound, and then bounced off each other.
"Grown, go!"
In this moment, Li You, who blocked a sword, protected Li Yang behind him, and shouted at the same time: "Yulin Guard, protect Zhongcheng!"
"Yes!"
The five guards, who were wearing black armor and had feathers on their heads, immediately drew their swords and protected them in front of Li Yang.
This is the first time Li Yang has been assassinated, and although he is protected by the Yulin Forbidden Army now, he was still frightened into a cold sweat just now, and the whole person was shocked at this time.
Not only him, but this sudden scene also frightened the originally jubilant crowd, and the whole square instantly became eerily quiet, and everyone looked this way
I saw that the young man who came to assassinate was extremely brave, and his martial arts were even stronger, and he rushed to kill several times, and directly slashed the three Yulin to the ground. The only two remaining Yulin were also with several swords in their bodies, and the blood on their bodies flowed, but they were still desperately resisting.
Li Yang and Li You were both stunned by this scene.
This person.......... It's too brave, isn't it?
Li Yang said in his heart that this time it was over, but he saw that the other party rushed two more people, and as soon as they rushed up, each with a sword, they directly pierced the two Yulin.
Li You was shocked, so he quickly turned around and blocked in front of the three of them, and at the same time shouted to Li Yang, who was protecting him: "Zhongcheng, run away!"
As soon as the words fell, he held his sword and confronted the other three.
Li You knew that he was dead today, and he was not the opponent of that brave young man at all. However, as the leader of the Yulin Army responsible for protecting Li Yang, he could not escape, and if Li Yang died, the emperor would definitely be guilty. Therefore, all he can do is fight to the death!
"Zhongcheng, you run away!"
As soon as Li Yang turned around, he saw that Li Yang was still standing behind him, and he was so anxious that he shouted again.
"And what do you do?" Li Yang hesitated.
Li Yang didn't want to escape, but the thought of leaving Li You alone and running away by himself seemed too unrighteous.
Li You didn't expect that Li Yang would care about his safety at this time, and his heart suddenly warmed, so he said: "Zhongcheng, with your words, it is worth it for the lower officials to die, you run away, if you don't escape, there will be no chance!"
Li Yang still didn't choose to run away, but simply walked to Li You's side, and then asked the other party, "Who are you, why did you assassinate me?"
"Chu people Xiang Yu!" Xiang Yu replied.
"What? You are...... Xiang Yu!" Li Yang was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, and he never dreamed that when he came to this world, the first person to kill himself would be Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.
At this time, Li Yang had the heart to die, and it was not good to meet anyone, but he ran into the most fierce person in this era.
Li Yang's heart was like ashes, but he still asked, "Why did you want to kill me?"
Xiang Yu said: "Xiang saw that you had a Yulin guard, thinking that you were a descendant of the Ying family, but he didn't expect that you were actually Li Zhongcheng who led the change."
Speaking of this, he glanced at the forbidden army that was coming from the palace gate in the distance, so he turned his head to Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo behind him and said, "Uncle, let's go!"
Hearing this, Li Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was not him who the other party wanted to kill.
Who knows, as soon as this heart landed, he heard Xiang Yu's uncle say: "If this person is just a descendant of the Ying family, it doesn't matter if he kills or not, but he is Li Yang who leads the law change, then he must be killed!"
Li Yang was shocked!
Of course, Xiang Yu was also stunned: "Uncle, why do you want to kill this person?"
Xiang Liang glanced at the forbidden army who was about to come over, and his murderous anger suddenly rose: "Kill this person first!"
As he spoke, he stabbed at Li Yang with his sword.....
"I'm grass!"
Li Yang was angry and frightened, and hurriedly hid back, while Li You bravely protected Li Yang.
At this time, Xiang Bo also rushed up, and at the same time urged Xiang Yu, who was in a daze: "Yu'er, hurry up and kill this person!"
And at this critical juncture, the crowd didn't know who shouted: "They want to assassinate the prime minister, ......... Protect the Prime Minister!"
This is really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, and suddenly all the people responded, and with a shout, the people around them rushed up, directly protecting Li Yang and Li You in the center of the crowd, three layers inside and outside, instantly isolating the two from Xiang Liang.
And the old man with a crutch before stood at the front at this time, and knocked the crutch in his hand on Xiang Liang's head....
"Boom!"
"............." Xiang Liang was stupid.
The old man held a crutch in his hand, trembling, pointed at Xiang Liang with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, and said in an angry tone: "Come on, if you have the ability, come and kill me!"
Xiang Liang saw the old man's extremely arrogant appearance, and beat his chest with hatred, and what was even more infuriating was that the old man not only spoke wildly, but also kept using crutches to pinch him.
Xiang Liang and the three of them all seemed to have eaten flies, and finally sighed, did not dare to stab the old man to death, and finally held out the word "go" from his mouth hatefully, turned around and fled......
There's no way, if you really stab the old man, look at the situation of the three of them
Heaven has to be beaten to death by the people here, not to mention that the forbidden army at the gate of the palace is about to arrive, and when the time comes, you really can't leave if you want to.
Seeing Xiang Liang and the three fleeing in a panic, the old man looked arrogant: "Lao Tzu joined the army at the age of fourteen and has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and he will be afraid of you three clowns, hum!"
"Good!"
"Old Bo Weiwu!"
The people around clapped their hands and applauded, and lifted the old man's proud beard to the sky.
Of course, this incident has also become the proudest thing in the old man's life, and in the following days, people said that someone stabbed him in the face that day, and it was he who immediately stood in front of the thief with a horizontal knife, and was stunned to scare the three thieves, which saved the prime minister, otherwise where would the people in the world come to this good day.
At this moment, a group of forbidden troops had also arrived, and one of the guards who led the team asked what had happened?
The old man hurriedly said: "Someone wants to stab the phase and destroy my Great Qin's change!"
"What? Someone is going to assassinate the prime minister!" The Forbidden Army was taken aback.
The old man stroked his white beard: "However, the thief has been beaten away by the old man."
Several forbidden soldiers were stunned for a moment, and their faces were pouted, naturally they didn't believe it, but then he saw the Yulin sergeant lying on the ground, and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly asked, "What about Zhongcheng?"
"It's here!"
Li Yang walked out of the crowd with Li You.
"See Zhongcheng, see your lord!"
As soon as Wei Wei saw the two of them, he immediately led his men to salute.
Although the Yulin Army led by Li You is separate from the palace forbidden army, it is also considered to be in the forbidden army department, so Li You can also be regarded as their commander.
"Hurry up and close the city gate for me, and none of the three thieves will be allowed to escape!" Li You gritted his teeth with hatred, if it wasn't for the protection of the people just now, it is estimated that he would have died in the hands of those three bastards at this time.
"Whoa!"
Wei Wei immediately received the order, and then rushed to the direction of the city gate with his subordinates, and began to arrest Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew in the whole city........
Looking at the direction in which Xiang Liang and the three of them fled, Li Yang also scolded hatefully in his heart: Xiang Liang, you are going to kill Lao Tzu, Nima forced it!
"My lord, shall we go home as soon as possible?"
The assassination just now happened, and Li You didn't dare to let Li Yang wander outside anymore.
Li Yang nodded, then looked at the eager eyes of everyone in front of him, and bowed deeply: "Yang, thank you here!"
Everyone present hurriedly bowed their hands in return, and the old man said: "Lord Zhongcheng is our biological parents, Daqin has you, and our people have hope." If anyone dares to disagree with you, we, the people, will not agree!"
"Yes, whoever is not good for Lord Zhongcheng, we will defend it to the death!" The crowd shouted in unison.
Li Yang nodded movingly, then held the old man's hand, and said: "Uncle, it was really majestic just now, but it is also dangerous, you can't be so reckless in the future, and you have to take care of yourself."
The old man said: "Lord Xie cares, old man, I have no children and no daughters anyway, I am alone, how worthwhile I can die to protect adults."
Li Yang was stunned: "The old man has no children?"
The old man nodded: "I have three sons, but they have all died on the battlefield."
Li Yang looked at this nearly sixty-year-old man, and thought that he was a lonely and miserable person, and he was very sympathetic for a while, so he said: "In this case, why don't you go to my mansion, my mansion is just short of people."
"Thank you, sir!"
When the old man heard this, he was moved to tears, and he wanted to kneel, but he was held up by Li Yang and asked, "What is the old man's surname?"
The old man replied: "Wu Daozi, a common man."
"Okay, I'll call you Uncle Wu in the future, and I'll go home with me now."
With that, Li Yang took Wu Bo to the Prime Minister's Mansion.......
"Congratulations to Lord Zhongcheng......"
Behind him, the people gave their hands one after another......
On the way back, Li You thought of Li Yang's previous crisis, and he was still concerned about him, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart, so he said: "My lord, if there is another danger next time, my lord must not hesitate again, the duty of his subordinates is to protect you, and if something happens to you, it will be a dereliction of duty by your subordinates."
"With General Li here, what am I afraid of, not to mention that there are still people like Uncle Wu and them, haha......" Li Yang smiled.
When Li You heard this, he was even more impressed and excited at the same time.
He never dreamed that his life today would be saved by a group of people. You know, in the past, those people wanted them to die early, how could they still stand up and help?
The Art of Governing the World...... It turns out that this is the art of governing the world!
Lord Zhongyu is really a god who governs the world, this change has just been implemented on the first day, and the people of the world have supported it so much, it seems that Lord Zhongyu was not a little frivolous in the Qilin Hall before, and if this continues, the people of the world will definitely protect the law, abide by the law, and love the law in the future.
Thinking of this, Li You's eyes when he looked at Li Yang became even more adoring.
Outside the city of Xianyang.
The three horsemen fled quickly outside the city, and as soon as they left the city with their front feet, the forbidden army had already arrived, closed the city gates on all sides of Xianyang, and set up an investigation.
The three horsemen fled for half an hour, and they had reached the edge of a small forest, and when they saw that there was no Qin army chasing behind them, they stopped their horses and rested for a while.
"Uncle, why did you kill that prime minister?"
After getting off the horse, Xiang Yu couldn't help but ask the mystery in his heart.
Xiang Liang sighed and said, "Because this person is in charge of changing the law, how can he not kill him!"
Xiang Yu was even more puzzled: "His change is so good, abolishing the joint sitting and light forced labor, it is really a great relief for the suffering of the people in the world, kill him, won't the people of the world continue to live in the misery of tyranny?"
Xiang Bo smiled: "Yu'er, don't worry, listen to your uncle."
Xiang Yu felt that killing such a good person was against the wind of uncertainty, and looked at Xiang Liang unhappily.
Xiang Liang explained: "Yu'er, don't forget that you are a martyr, don't forget your responsibility and the shame of the Chu State, you are going to restore the country, can't you even think of the reason why I killed Li Yang?"
Xiang Yu said angrily: "My nephew will naturally not forget that I am a martyr, but Li Zhongyu's change has won the hearts of the people, I really don't know why my uncle swore to kill this person, and I hope that my uncle will solve his doubts."
Xiang Liang sighed: "Yu'er, you also said that this person's change has won the hearts of the people, and you have also seen it, even if we want to kill this person, the people will swear to protect it to the death, you said that if such a person is left to continue to change the law, can we still destroy this Qin State?" Who will follow us and raise troops against Qin in this world?"
Xiang Bo also said: "Yes, Yu'er, this person can't stay, otherwise it will be hopeless for us to return to the country!"
"This ......" Xiang Yu was speechless for a while.
Xiang Liang thought of the old man who used a crutch to pinch himself, and he was angry and said angrily: "It's a pity that I didn't kill him today!" Alas!"
Xiang Bo also had a bitter gourd face, thought for a while, and said: "We don't have time, if we don't get into trouble as soon as possible, once he succeeds in changing the law, the general trend will be gone."
Xiang Liang nodded: "Let's go, go back to Chudi, and take advantage of the beginning of the law change to start an incident as soon as possible!"
Li Yang whistled and returned to the backyard.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is a two-fold main building, divided into two courts, the vestibule is used by the Government Affairs Department to deal with official business, and there are a number of official offices in the palace.
The backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is Li Yang's residence, because the Zhongcheng Mansion was renovated from LΓΌ Buwei's previous mansion, so this backyard is also very luxurious and spacious.
In the back garden, which covers an area of hundreds of square meters, I saw a pool of clear water in the garden, the water was full of lotus flowers, and a group of koi fish were playing under the lotus leaves.
On the edge of the lotus pond, a rockery stands, and a pavilion is placed in the middle of the water.
Seeing this scene in the garden, Li Yang couldn't help but think that even if this kind of landscape is placed in the future generations, it is an unattainable dream for countless people.
The backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is still guarded by the Yulin Forbidden Army.
Ying Zheng knew that Li Yang was alone, so he also sent a hundred slaves from Xianyang Palace, and Ba Shi was afraid that Li Yang would not eat well, so he also sent three cooks from the world's restaurants, it can be said that the current Li Yang's life is extremely luxurious.
Walking between the pavilions and lotus ponds, seeing the picturesque scenery, Li Yang was thinking about chanting poems to give to the world, but Uncle Wu came over.
Wu Bo was invited to the mansion by Li Yang, and was directly appointed as the housekeeper of the mansion to take care of the affairs of the mansion for the Li Mansion.
In this strange world, Li Yang has no one to trust, and this Uncle Wu is one.
"Uncle Wu, is there something wrong?" Li Yang asked.
Uncle Wu came to the front and said, "Master, your subordinate official Lord Wang wants to see you!"
"Officer? Lord Wang?" Li Yang was stunned.
"It's the county guard of Dongyang County, the lord's fiefdom." Wu Bo said.
As soon as he heard this, Li Yang reacted, it turned out that the so-called "subordinate officials" referred to the officials of his fiefdom.
After understanding, Li Yang said, "Please come to the hall!"
"No!" Uncle Wu answered, turned around and went to summon .......
....β¦β¦
Not long after, Li Yang saw the prefect of his fiefdom in the hall, the county guard of Dongyang County.
"Subordinate official Wang Youxian, meet Lord Zhongcheng!"
Wang Youxian arched his hand and shook it deeply.
Li Yang said with a smile: "Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, you are the county guard of Dongyang, and you can be regarded as the parent official of the original phase."
Wang Youxian looked frightened: "Don't dare, the lower officials only listen to Lord Zhongcheng's orders."
In the Qin period, the marquis's fief only collected the tax of the fief, and did not have the jurisdiction of the fief, Li Yang was very curious, how could the subordinate officials of his fief come to ask for a meeting, so he asked: "I don't know why Lord Wang came to Xianyang this time?"
Wang Youxian hurriedly replied: "Now Dongyang County is the fief of Lord Zhongyu, and the lower officials have deliberately handed over the household registration and tax items of the county to Lord Gan this time."
"It's because Benxiang was too busy and forgot to send someone to Dongyang to hand over this matter, but it was annoying Lord Wang to run so hard." After learning the intention, Li Yang suddenly realized, and looked into the hall, sure enough, there were a few large compartments, which were obviously the household registration and tax accounts of Dongyang County.
"Lord Zhongcheng is polite."
After receiving Li Yang's praise, Wang Youxian was still very happy in his heart, and continued: "Lord Zhongyu is in charge of the community, and the annual tax in the future will be personally sent to the mansion by the lower officials."
Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, he was indeed unsend-free at the moment.
However, thinking that he has the dividends of the world's residence, and there is no shortage of money at the moment, he said: "In order to repay His Majesty's kindness, the Prime Minister plans to give the people of Dongyang County tax exemption for three years, and this matter needs to be passed on by Lord Wang to the local people."
Wang Youxian was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he shook deeply: "Xiaguan...... Thank you for the kindness of Lord Zhongcheng for the people of Dongyang!"
"Lord Wang, what are you......... Why are your eyes still red?" Li Yang was also stunned and said with a smile.
Wang Youxian hurriedly wiped his rosy eyes and replied, "Xiaguan.......... Move. β
