The second day after returning to Xianyang.

Bai Zhong first entered the palace and went to the court, participated in the court meeting, and stayed alone after the end to chat with Yingzheng about the affairs of Peixian.

"I know."

Ying Zheng first said: "Cao Qiudao is dead, and the matter of Heibing Platform is over, but Yan Dan appeared again, and rescued one, who had helped the Surabaya Pavilion Chief of Waihuang County to rebel against our Great Qin, this matter is a little abnormal." ”

Bai Zhong also felt that it was very abnormal, the current Liu Bang did not have any reputation, he was just an ordinary pavilion chief, and it was very wrong for someone who was suspected of Yan Dan to rob the prison to save Liu Bang.

"Chen can't figure it out, when he was in Waihuang County, Liu Ji was a ranger, and when he was chasing Zhang Er, he accidentally let him escape."

"When the world was unified by His Majesty, he was a thief, but he became the pavilion chief, and finally met the minister, and it happened that the minister also knew him, so he asked the county order of Peixian to arrest him."

"The reason why Yan Dan saved this person is not clear for the time being, and there are no clues to trace."

Bai Zhong explained.

Ying Zheng pondered, thinking about the reason.

"However, the minister did something wrong."

Bai Zhong said and continued: "Liu Ji is beside him, there are three people with some ability, the minister will subdue them and bring them back to Xianyang, Liu Ji can become the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion, and these three people are inseparable from the relationship, they should have been punished together, but the minister pardoned them on his own initiative." ”

From the beginning, he didn't intend to hide it.

He is in charge of the Black Ice Terrace, but the real big boss is Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng has long known about Xiao He's three people.

Out of trust in Bai Zhong, he didn't bring it up and didn't want to pay attention to it.

Bai Zhong chose to take the initiative to make it public, and said: "If Your Majesty thinks it is inappropriate, the minister will kill those three people and arrest their families." ”

"No need!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "Since Wu Anjun thinks they are useful, you might as well stay first, I believe you, but I didn't expect it, things are getting more and more complicated." ”

He swept Liuhe, ruled the world, and there were things that even he couldn't control.

"The minister will find out."

Bai Zhong said.

This matter has an inseparable relationship with him.

Ying Zheng changed the topic and said: "A few days ago, Tu Sui sent the latest military information back, Minyue has been taken by him, and those tribal leaders have completely surrendered to Daqin, and their record is good!" ”

"Congratulations to the King!"

Hearing him mention this matter, Bai Zhong did not spoil the outcome of this battle in advance.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "Fortunately, I didn't agree with Wu Anjun's opinion, according to the battle report, Baiyue's soldiers are very fierce, if Wu Anjun really only takes 100,000 people south, I am worried about your safety." ”

Bai Zhong's heart warmed, and he said gratefully: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, but the minister took 100,000 people south, not to take a risk, but to be sure enough, but the minister did not force that he must go on the expedition, after all, the minister's merit is so high, no matter how high it is, it is easy to make others jealous." ”

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "It's Wang Juan and Li Si who are jealous, right?" ”

"This is a matter for the minister, Your Majesty must maintain the balance in the court, and you can't always be inclined to the minister."

Bai Zhong shook his head and said.

Ying Zheng said with emotion: "It's still Wu Anjun who understands me, as the lord of Great Qin, I really have a lot to consider." ”

They chatted for a while, and Yingzheng asked Bai Zhong to go back to rest.

Walking out of the palace, Bai Zhong did not go home, first went outside the city, the place where the strong crossbow was built, and under normal circumstances, Yuan Hong and they were all here.

"Giant!"

Ink Dust: They came to greet them.

At present, the output of strong crossbows is getting higher and higher, especially Yuan Hong has obtained a complete Mojia machine technique, and the process has been improved, although it is still a little far from equipping the whole army, but the Iron Eagle Ruishi and the Black Ice Platform have been completely covered.

Some ordinary soldiers can also get equipment.

Bai Zhong simply asked about the crossbow, put these aside, took Yuan Hong and Mo Chen into the room, and asked about the middle-aged man.

"What!"

Yuan Hong was the most surprised.

As a senior of the same generation as the Mo family and Yuanzong, he had never heard of it, in addition to the giant, there was a second person who knew how to use the three major killing moves of the Mozi swordsmanship, and wanted to rob the giant order.

Mo Chen frowned and said, "What does that person look like, can you describe it?" ”

"I'll draw it!"

Bai Zhong found someone to bring paper and pens.

Before crossing, he had learned to draw, and the appearance of a middle-aged man would not be forgotten after seeing it once, and he quickly drew it out and put it on the desk.

"I haven't seen it!"

Mochen said first.

He also thought that the middle-aged man might be a hidden predecessor of the Mo family, and as a descendant of the Mo family, it was possible to know him.

Yuan Hong shook his head and said: "This person's age is younger than me, not an old-timer, but he knows the three major killing moves, it may be the descendant of a certain Mo old-timer, but those old-timers are not giants, where did he learn his three major killing moves?" ”

Mo Chen said: "Could he be related to the Yuanzong giant?" ”

As he spoke, the eyes of the two of them fell on Bai Zhong at the same time.

After all, Bai Zhong was the only apprentice they knew, Yuanzong.

Bai Zhong's apprentice is an impostor, and when he met a middle-aged man, he was thinking that it might be the real Yuanzong heir who came to fight the fake.

Facing Mo Chen's questioning gaze, Bai Zhong could only persevere to the end, unable to admit it, and said, "I don't know, at that time, the master gave me the giant order, and he didn't say that there were other apprentices. ”

Yuan Hong said: "We don't know who this person is. ”

"Forget it, he can show up once, and he will definitely come back a second time."

Bai Zhong didn't care about this person for the time being, he was afraid that if he talked too much, he would not be able to hide his fake identity, and said, "In terms of mechanism techniques, how have you studied it?" ”

Mo Chen said: "The trick is extremely subtle and not easy to learn, but we have used some of the techniques to improve the strong crossbow, and we have also made some mechanisms with a relatively simple structure, such as the trap kite. ”

In their opinion, the structure of the kite is relatively simple.

Bai Zhong couldn't imagine what it would be like to be complicated, and said, "It's a pity that I don't understand that, and I don't have time, otherwise I can study it with you." ”

Mo Chen said gratefully: "The giant has done a lot for our Mo family. ”

Without Bai Zhong, their Mo family would have been even more difficult.

Next, Bai Zhong looked at the progress here and left.

Now there is no need to fight, it is boring in Xianyang, he will train soldiers when he has time, and then there is nothing else to do.

Time was fast, and another month passed.

Bai Zhong suddenly got the news that Tu Sui was ambushed by local rebel soldiers in the Sanluo area on the bank of the Xijiang River, and was killed by an arrow.

The hundreds of thousands of troops who attacked Baiyue were almost wiped out, and less than 100,000 people fled to Qianzhong County.

"It's really going to happen!"

After reading the news, Bai Zhong didn't feel much surprised.

"Wu Anjun, the king has a call!"

At this time, Zijin brought a palace attendant into the door and sent Yingzheng's edict, asking him to enter the palace immediately to discuss this matter.
