There were 3,000 light horsemen from the north, passing through Gaoque, crossing the Great Wall, and stopping outside the north gate of Jiuyuan City.

The formation of this group resembled not an army, but rather a caravan, with several carriages in the center and cavalry on the perimeter.

But what caravan can afford to raise 3,000 cavalry?

Even if you really have the financial resources, you don't dare to spend this money, raising so many cavalry is not a rebellion, but what do you want to do?

The team didn't stop for a long time, the sun didn't move significantly, and the north gate, which had not been seen several times in the past year, was wide open.

Meng Tian, the lord of the Nine Plains, rode out of his horse, jumped off his horse when he was still fifty paces close to the group, and trotted all the way through this last distance.

When he got to the front of the silver horse riding the silver armor and silver horse, he raised his fist and bowed his head, and his voice was excited.

"Chen Mengtian! Meet Chang'anjun! ”

"Minister? Oh, General Meng's identity changed quickly. ”

The silver-armored man was naturally a winchman, and when he heard his chuckle, he jumped off the horse and grabbed Meng Tian's hand.

"Jiuyuan City, what I said can be counted?"

Before the gluttonous army set out on the expedition, Meng Tian took away all the Mongolian generals, and claimed that they were the lords of Jiuyuan, and not a single soldier in Jiuyuan City would accompany the Northern Expedition.

was picked up in person, and Meng Tian should have been in a good mood when he saw Ying Chengcheng returning, but at this moment, he was even more nervous than when he didn't see Chang Anjun.

He kept his head down and didn't lift it.

"Up and down Jiuyuan County, Chang'anjun will make a decision."

The wide open north gate was empty, and there were no soldiers, and there were no fewer people than soldiers.

Ying Chengcheng knew that this was Meng Tian comforting his heart.

I Meng Tian greeted Chang'an Jun single-handedly, if there is any change, you can directly kill me!

"Then are you Meng Tian a person from Jiuyuan County?"

"The minister listens to Chang'anjun's orders."

"Then keep your head up."

Only then did Meng Tian look up and look at the face that was called a vertical son a year and a half ago.

When he went to the Chang'an Monarch's Mansion with the crown prince to resign, he never imagined that the shame of the Qin State, which he didn't even bother to look at, would one day become the emperor of the Qin State and the co-ruler of the world.

Ying Cheng looked up.

On the city wall, behind the battlements, there were Jiuyuan soldiers with spears in their hands and serious faces.

He chuckled, then lowered his head, and pressed his palm on Meng Tian's shoulder, slightly straining.

"My first order is that you kneel before me."

The Great Qin Empire did not have the etiquette of kneeling.

Meng Tian's lips squirmed, but no words came out.

The strength on his shoulders is not great, not even ten pounds.

He closed his mouth and lowered his head.

"Yui."

The autumn sun is not warm, and the wind and sand outside the plug are not delicious,

This is the first warrior of Great Qin, who guarded the northwest gateway for the Great Qin Empire and even the Xiongnu for 700 miles, knelt down in front of Ying Chengcheng.

The sound of the knee hitting the ground is like pushing a mountain of gold and pouring a jade pillar!

Ying Chengcheng nodded with satisfaction and turned over on the horse.

When leading the team past Meng Tian's side, the unsheathed Qin sword on the horse slapped Meng Tian twice on the side of the face.

"It's 'No.'"

On the city wall, the Jiuyuan soldiers, who regarded Meng Tian as a faith, were all angry, and their seriousness turned into slaughter.

This is humiliation, naked humiliation, the general is His Majesty's playmate, the important weapon of the country, His Majesty has never asked the general to kneel!

They didn't know the news of the death of the First Emperor, just waiting for a gesture and a look from the kneeling general, and they would make a move on the arrogant and domineering erection!

Meng Tian's head lowered even deeper, as if he was about to bury it in his chest.

"No."

The team entered the north gate, stayed in Jiuyuan for two days, and continued south.

Shangjun, the northwest barrier of the Great Qin Empire.

Shangjun was to the northwest to the Qin state, just as Hangu was to the east.

As long as the Great Qin Empire does not lose Shangjun, there will always be a presence at all, and the northwest will not be chaotic.

On this day, Shangjun ushered in Chang'anjun.

"Chang'an Jun is arrogant and domineering in Jiuyuan, and he wants General Meng to kneel outside the city gate, and he kneels for an hour, which is obviously aimed at the prince, how can the prince still greet him in person!"

Chun Yuyue stood in front of the most proud disciple and did not let him go out of the city gate.

No one told Emperor Chunyu that he was dead, but he was a first-class smart man in the world. Otherwise, the First Emperor had so many Confucian students, and the First Emperor would not have been able to choose him as the eldest son.

Through careful observation of the personnel movement and the movement of soldiers and horses in Shangjun, Chun Yuyue came to the conclusion that something important had happened in the Qin State.

And the news that Ying Chengcheng insulted Meng Tian from Jiuyuan a day ago made him boldly guess: Your Majesty may be seriously ill, the Qin State will face a transfer of power, and Chang'an Jun and the crown prince will compete for the throne!

Otherwise, Chang'anjun, who has always been extremely measured, why would he do something to Meng Tian, a general who was already the prince's belonging?

"Teacher, that's my uncle."

The prince left this sentence and asked the soldiers around him to control Chun Yuyue's freedom.

The city gate was opened, and the horse rode out, also alone.

He didn't see his uncle right away.

The leader of the team is a man named Liu Bang, who looks like a scoundrel ruffian.

Facing the noble crown prince of the Great Qin Empire, Liu Bang was arrogant, buttoned his ears on the horse, and made a gesture to the Tai bullet.

Looking at the prince who was strict and asked to see his uncle, he had an uncomfortable smile on his face.

"Hehe, your eldest nephew really doesn't have the eyesight to see, Chang Anjun is giving you a brother and sister of the living clan, you are asking to see a fart at this time."

In the past, when he heard this kind of foul language provocation in person, Ying Fusu, who was a gentleman, would unceremoniously draw his sword and cut him.

He is benevolent and righteous, but he is not a stone man who spits on himself.

He is the eldest son of the First Emperor, and his face is the face of the Great Qin Empire.

And after more than a year of experience......

Ying Fusu narrowed his eyes, and that look made Liu Bang's eyes widen.

[This demeanor is too similar to the king, this is really the prince, not the king's species?] Or is the crown prince the king's seed? ]

Yingfu Su drew Qin's sword and slashed at Liu Bang's head!

Liu Bang saw sweat on his forehead, drew his sword to meet him, and blocked it horizontally.

[Bang Ke everything is according to what the king said, you must protect the state, you can't sell the state!] ]

The two fought together, Ying Fusu only attacked but did not defend, and Liu Bang only defended but not attacked.

Immediately, a cavalry rushed out of Shangjun, and Chun Yuyue took the lead.

"Dare to assassinate the prince! Kill! ”

His face sank like water, but there was joy in his heart, and the opportunity that Confucianism was waiting for had finally come! Just wait for the crown prince to succeed to the throne!

The cavalry behind Liu Bang rode their horses slowly, and their blades were unsheathed, and they seemed to be about to fight with the prince's army.

At the top of the wall, the archers were running quickly into position, and they were improvised, and they were very slow.

If it was according to what Chun Yuyue said, he would have held a bow and arrows and occupied a broad field of vision, and at this moment it was already ten thousand arrows.

Seeing that the battle between the two sides was about to break out, the prince suddenly shook Liu Bang away with a sword and broke away from the battle circle.

He raised his right arm horizontally, and the three-foot Qin Sword extended his arm, and the five-foot arm was like a dam to stop the flood.

The troops who had received the order to move stopped behind the prince's horse, stopped moving, and did not attack no matter how much Chun Yuyue instigated.

The archers on the walls also carried bows and did not carry arrows.

In the upper county, the prince has the final say.

"What a coward! Ann dare to insult me! Damn it! ”

Yingfu Su's eyes were full of murderous intent, staring at Liu Bang's heart trembling.

Don't look at Liu Bang's usual open-mouthedness, he dares to say anything, and often brags. But before today, Liu Bang never thought that one day he would humiliate the prince in front of the prince.

Even if he doesn't want to live, he still has to consider whether his father, mother, two elder brothers, a younger brother, and Widow Cao want to live.

"Uncle, Fusu asks to see!"

Yingfu Su shouted loudly, as if for the sake of his uncle's face, he did not want Liu Bang's life for the time being.

Soon after, a strong man carrying a huge butcher's knife and feeling a bloody breath rushing in his face just by looking at it patted his horse's head and rode lazily from the line to the front.

"Wait!"

Chun Yu was furious.

"Presumptuous! There is a truth in the world that the prince and other ministers are safe! Chang'anjun wants to rebel! ”

The prince's brows were also furrowed, and he squinted at the depths of the team, and was silent for a moment.

"Teacher, you've talked a little too much today."

"Prince, this is a blatant insult"

"Someone! Send the teacher back to the city! ”

The two soldiers shouted in unison, pulling and struggling, and kept shouting in their mouths, "Chang'an Jun is ambitious, intends to rebel, and the prince must not be merciful...... Chun Yuyue returned to the city.

Yingfu Su looked coldly at the smiling Liu Bang and the leisurely Fan Xu.

"It's my uncle's order, and my nephew is it."

It was everyone who could hear the anger hidden in this sentence, and with Ying Fusu as the center, the silence began to spread to both sides.

Soon, the audience fell silent, and even the horses seemed to feel the tension, and their panting voices were lowered.

As the horses' hooves kicked, the cacophony of people talking died down, revealing the sounds that had been muffled by them.

"Ah...... Hard...... Childe ......"

The prince was stunned, and most of the soldiers behind the prince were also stunned.

They heard the gentle moans of women, and there was more than one!

The sound of glamour came right in the middle of the team in front of them!

Soon, they heard the thump again.

The woman's screams became more and more piercing as the frequency of the knock sound increased, and there was obvious pleasure and satisfaction in the high notes.

Ying Fusu clenched the Qin Sword in his hand, and the soldiers behind him looked at each other with subtle expressions.

Is this Chang'anjun? Flowers......

An hour later, a carriage drove to the front.

The curtain is set up by a beauty who wears a two-foot sword, is heroic, and heroic is greater than beauty.

Chang Anjun came out of the carriage.

His hair was scattered, his clothes were disheveled, he was fat and powdery, and he walked a little erratically, as if his legs were weak.

Yue Nu gently held her hand, Ying Cheng put one hand on Yue Nu's hand, pinched Yue Nu's face with the other, and said with a lewd smile:

"The road back to Xianyang is still long, next time I will shake the car with you, and taste what it is like to be a woman."

Yue Nu blushed and whispered:

"Childe, the prince has been waiting for a long time."

Ying Chengcheng looked impatient, and looked up at his eldest nephew, who had a very bad complexion.

"What?"

The prince shook the long sword suddenly, and the sound of breaking the air was extremely clear, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Liu Bang.

"Who is this person? Does my uncle recognize you? ”

Ying Cheng glanced at it.

"It's my guest, called Liu Bang, what's wrong?"

"I ask to see my uncle, his words are filthy, insulting Su here, he should be beheaded!"

Ying Cheng's face sank.

"Big nephew, you can't talk nonsense, you have a red mouth and white teeth like this, but it is someone else's three clans who die."

"Uncle means that Fusu is lying in vain?"

"Yes, Liu Bang is just a cloth cloth, and he dares to insult you, the prince."

"This prince has no enmity with him in the past, and he has no grievances recently, today is the first time I have seen him, why did you frame him?"

"Perhaps, it's to give my uncle a dismount? Fighting for Meng Tian? ”

Ying Cheng sneered.

"Don't talk about it, I, Daqin, govern the country according to law, and I pay attention to one evidence in everything, you say that he insulted you, but there is evidence?"

At that time, when Liu Bang was talking to the prince, the prince came alone, and there was not a single soldier or horse behind him.

And the soldiers standing on the towering six-zhang city wall, unless they have a tailwind, it is impossible to hear what Liu Bang said.

The prince's gaze swept behind Liu Bang, and the cavalry standing in the front row of Ying Cheng's team.

Liu Bang didn't deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, and these front-row cavalrymen could hear it.

Ying Fusu's arm flicked slightly, and the tip of the sword shifted from pointing at Liu Bang to a cavalryman.

"Liu Bang insulted the prince, did you hear that?"

The cavalryman glanced at Ying Cheng, saw Ying Chengcheng shook his head slightly, smiled, and said neatly:

"Nope."

Ying Fusu's voice was cold and frozen.

"Think about it clearly, Qin Law harbors other crimes, lying to the prince will also destroy your three clans!"

The cavalryman's body shook, and he looked at Ying Chengcheng again, and when he saw that his lord did not say anything, he gritted his teeth.

"The villain is telling the truth."

Ying Fusu looked around at the cavalry in front of him, circled twice, and his eyes fell back to his uncle.

"What are you doing looking at your uncle with such fierce eyes? How? You want to kill your uncle? ”

Ying Cheng yawned and drew his arm around the front row of cavalry.

"So many people, if you keep asking, maybe someone will hear it? Don't ask a single question and give up. ”

The prince returned his sword to its sheath, took the reins of his horse, and straightened his body.

Tempered in the northwest, he completely faded away from immaturity, mature, calm, heroic, and courageous.

"Uncle, does it have to be like this? You and I are both surnamed Ying, with the same blood, and if you insult me, you will be insulted by you. Kill this person, and Fusu will welcome you into Shangjun. ”

Ying Cheng lowered his face coldly,

"Don't say it, it's like I'm bullying you, it's the eldest nephew, you're using the prince's power to suppress your uncle. You have not found any witnesses, and you will still behead me without evidence. It's not Liu Bang who you killed, it's my face. ”

Ying Cheng turned around and wanted to return to the carriage, but on the way he turned his back and said:

"Send some wine and beautiful people, even if your eldest nephew still has some filial piety. and my uncle will not enter the city. ”

Chang'anjun's team passed through Shangjun and continued south.

Yongdi, the ancestral land of Qin, a palace.

The Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was lying on the thick white tiger skin, with her eyes closed, as if she was recuperating her spirits, and there were ten earth dragons in the room.

There is charcoal that burns forever, the underground dragon has become a warm dragon, and the temperature of the whole palace is not much worse than that of summer, and the cold outside has nothing to do with the interior.

"Chang'anjun passed through Jiuyuan, and asked General Meng Tian to kneel outside the city for an hour. Outside the Shangjun city, the prince personally greeted Chang'anjun, was insulted by his disciples, angrily drew his sword and beheaded him, and fought with Chang'anjun's disciple Liu Bangma outside the Shangjun city......"

A maid was softly reciting a message from the northwest.

The monarch of Chang'an has not arrived in Guanzhong, and the news has been spread.
