One hundred and twenty miles east of Xianyang City, there is Lishan, where the Qin kings of the past dynasties were buried.

Because of the large number of people in the funeral procession, although there were horses and cars, the speed of travel was still slow, and it was only more than half of the journey at the end of the day.

Along the way, the trees are lush, the creek is murmuring, and sometimes wild deer, roe deer, hares and other wild animals are frightened and fleeing, and the wild chrysanthemums all over the mountains add to the intoxicating and fragrant autumn day.

Along the way, as Wu Zhan guessed, the assassins did not launch an assassination, and when the sun set, the funeral procession stopped and camped by a river.

The Qin army has always been well-trained, and after hearing the order to rest in place, half of the troops are responsible for defending in situ, and the other half is responsible for setting up tents to make fires and cooking.

There was no word for a night, and on the second day, the funeral procession continued on the road, and finally arrived at Lishan and stopped in front of the tomb of King Zhuangxiang.

The sky was overcast and the autumn wind was quiet.

"The king of Qin returned to heaven, and everyone cried and worshipped."

A clarion call, and countless cries resounded all over the world in an instant, coupled with the rumbling drums and loud horns, making the atmosphere of the scene solemn and shocking.

In the cry of countless people, the coffin of King Zhuangxiang was lifted by a group of wrestlers, followed by countless gold and silver artifacts buried with him, as well as the armor, carriages, weapons, etc. used by King Zhuangxiang during his lifetime, which were continuously sent to the mausoleum.

They were followed by six concubines dressed in costumes, all of whom were in their youth and had good looks, but because they did not give birth to an heir to King Zhuangxiang, they were ordered to bury King Zhuangxiang, whether they wanted to do it or not, and no matter what they thought......

Although it may seem brutal and abnormal, this is the reality.

As the heavy mausoleum gate closed, the heart-rending cries of the burial concubines were heard from inside the mausoleum, and the voices were full of fear and despair......

After the group walked out of the corridor through the steps, the master of ceremonies and eunuchs continued to shout: "Sacrifice! ”

I saw that nearly 200 slaves were escorted to both sides of the tomb, and the horizontal sword of the Qin army behind him was on the side of the slave's neck.

"Sneer......"

The bronze sword sliced through the flesh of the slave's neck, and the blood gushed out like a bewitching flower......

In this way, 200 slaves were slaughtered like sheep, and their corpses were thrown directly into the tunnel.

"The auspicious time has come, seal the land!"

The sound of mourning music resumed, and the civil and military officials poured the soil on both sides into the figurine pit with tools or hands while crying, until finally the tomb door, the figurine pit, and the corridor were all sealed, forming a high and uplifted hill.

"Bow down!"

The crown prince Yingzheng and the queen Zhao Ji led a group of officials and generals and envoys from the six countries to bow down to the royal tomb, and everyone was sad and grieved.

The Qin monarch, who had only been on the throne for three years, passed away in such worship and mourning.

I don't know when the autumn rain began to fall in the sky, adding a lot of sadness.

Wu Zhan couldn't bear the human tragedy in front of him, in his opinion, whether it was the concubines who were buried alive or the two hundred slaves who were slaughtered, they were all living beings, and it was really sad and pitiful to be deprived of the right to live like this, but what could he stop? What can he do?

On the mountainside in the distance, Bai Qi was quietly watching the funeral here surrounded by his subordinates, which was the third Qin king he witnessed.

It's hard to believe that after the death of King Qin Zhao, his son Yingzhu and grandson Yingyi were so dead, although Qin Xiaowen Wang Yingzhu only served as the king of Qin for three days, but he was more or less in his fifties, and he was drunk with wine on weekdays, so it was reasonable to die suddenly.

However, Zhuangxiang Wang Yingyi was in the prime of life, and there was no warning before, and he died suddenly young, which has to make people suspicious......

Since receiving the news that someone wants to be unfavorable to the King of Qin, Bai Qi has sent additional people to Xianyang for the first time, and the palace and the palace have been closely investigated, but there is no harvest at all, until the banquet held by King Zhuangxiang the night before was as usual, but on the second day he died of a "sudden illness".

The Netherworld Guards who were sent to Xianyang sent back the news that the body of King Zhuangxiang had no signs of poisoning, nor had he been injured, and the way of death could be described as very bizarre.

Bai Qi also suspected several targets, including Lü Buwei and several people in the harem who had close contact with King Zhuang Xiang, but none of them had the possibility of committing crimes, and some of them even had no time to commit crimes......

By the time the funeral was over, it was already dark and the autumn rain was continuous, so everyone decided to rest all night in Lishan and leave for the city the next day.

Wu Zhan stood quietly in the center of the camp, looking at the Xiangong Mausoleum where he had stayed for three years in the distance, at that moment, he suddenly had an urge to go back and have a look, I don't know if General Bai Qi and all the teachers are good, and I don't know if there is a new batch of fledglings being trained in the current base......

Scenes of the past appeared in front of him, and the call of "go back and see" kept shouting in Wu Zhan's heart, and just when Wu Zhan was a little shaken and ready to go, he suddenly found that behind the camp not far away, there was a pair of eyes staring at him.

Forget it, it's the big thing.

Wu Zhan had no choice but to resist the impulse in his heart and turned back to the prince's tent.

On the second day, the sun rose in the east, and the team finally drove back, because there was no hearse to tie it in, and the speed of travel was greatly improved.

By dusk, the vanguard had approached the south bank of the Weihe Bridge, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Yangquan Jun Mi Chen secretly glanced at his subordinates, and he quietly withdrew from the team of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

Naturally, his men understood that the operation was about to begin, so they quietly left the team and acted according to their respective characters.

Naturally, everything that happened here could not escape Lu Buwei's ears and eyes, and news kept coming from everywhere. I saw him sitting on horseback, holding the long beard on his chest with one hand, and said calmly: "Since the show has begun, let's also act according to the plan." ”

"Sanlu" and "Sanxin" moved when they heard the order, like a hunting dog that has only received an order from its master, and they can't wait to pounce on their respective prey.

"The whole army stops, rest in place!"

At the sound of an order, the whole team suddenly stopped.

Everyone didn't know what was happening, and they looked around in surprise.

Lü Buwei raised his horsewhip lightly, and the healthy horse under his crotch ran briskly in front of the prince's car, only to see him on the horse and saluted: "There are unforeseen circumstances, please return to the carriage to prevent a sudden change." ”

immediately ignored Yingzheng's reaction, and said to Meng Yi on the side: "Meng Yi, the prince's safety will be handed over to you, if the prince has any mistakes, you are the first to ask." ”

Meng Yi hurriedly said yes.

Lu Buwei lifted the reins of his horse and galloped towards Zhao Ji's carriage.

Through the curtain of the car, I only heard Lu Buwei say: "No matter what happens in a while, the queen doesn't have to worry, everything is with the old minister." ”

Zhao Ji heard Lu Buwei's words, although she didn't understand the meaning of his words, but she was still more relieved about Lu Buwei's ability.

"It's all up to the prime minister!" Zhao Ji whispered through the curtain of the car.

Lü Buwei bowed his hand, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and galloped towards the Empress Dowager Huayang's carriage and horse.

The closer the team got to the Weihe Bridge, the more nervous Yangquan Jun Michen felt, as if his whole heart was about to jump out. But suddenly the team came to a halt, which made him puzzled, and he couldn't understand who gave the order to stop.

Just when he was panicking like an ant on a hot pot, he saw Lü Buwei speeding towards him with a team of Qin troops.

"Yang Quanjun is not in his own team, why did he come to the Queen Mother?" Lu Buwei raised his voice on the horse.

"I'll talk to the Queen Mother about something."

Yangquan Jun smiled dryly: "Seeing that Xianyang City is in sight, why did you suddenly stop the team, I don't know what the intention is?" ”

Lu Buwei laughed and said: "Isn't this going back to the city, of course we have to simply clean up, clean up the team, and then enter the city in good spirits." ”

"Oh, it's still Lu Xiang thoughtful!" Yang Quanjun's face was a little unnatural.

"Yangquanjun, please move to my place, I have prepared good refreshments there." Lu Buwei's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said hypocritically.

Qi Chen only felt that his heart trembled, and he was deeply disturbed by Lu Buwei's invitation.

"I understand Lu Xiang's kindness, but I still have a few words to say to the Queen Mother." Mi Chen prevaricated.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Huayang lifted the curtain, revealing a graceful and luxurious face, and asked puzzledly: "What does Prime Minister Lu Cheng mean by this?" ”

Lu Buwei hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I have important matters to discuss with Yangquanjun, and I also ask the Queen Mother for permission." ”

"Yes, the country can't be without a king for a day, Zichu is gone, it's time for you to discuss the new king's accession to the throne."

Empress Dowager Huayang looked sad and said, "Yangquanjun, you can go with Lu Xiang." ”

"But ......"

Yangquanjun still wanted to shirk, where did Lu Buwei give him a chance, but he stepped forward and pulled the reins of Yangquanjun's horse, raised the horsewhip and whipped it on the buttocks of the horse under Yangquanjun's crotch, and just "pulled" Mi Chen away.

Returning to his camp, Lu Buwei showed a hideous face, only to hear him say to Mi Chen: "Yangquanjun seems to be very scared, but I don't know what you are afraid of?" ”

Mi Chen forced himself to laugh when he heard this, but his laughter was more ugly than crying: "I don't know what the prime minister means by this......

"Hahaha......"

Lu Buwei let out a long laugh and said proudly: "Doctor Feng Xi, Guardian Ling Han Jie, and Prince Lu Cheng have all subdued the law now, I don't know what Yang Quanjun thinks?" Hahaha......"

"What?" As soon as Yang Quanjun heard the names of these people, the whole person was like being struck by lightning, only to feel that his eyes were black, and he didn't come up in one breath, and almost fell directly from the horse.

At this time, his chief henchman, Bin Cui, appeared out of nowhere, and helped the crumbling Yang Quanjun up and helped him stabilize his figure.

Yang Quanjun turned his head and saw that it was Bin Cui, as if a person who was about to drown grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve with his backhand, and said urgently: "Sir...... Sir, help me......"

Bin Cui looked indifferent, ignoring Yang Quanjun's pleas, as if he didn't know him.

Seeing this, Lu Buwei was even more proud, and only listened to him: "Since Yangquanjun has come, I think you won't leave in the future." Come on, take Yangquanjun down, good hospitality! ”

"Hey!" Some of his subordinates had already tied Yang Quanjun's hands, making him unable to resist in the slightest.

It wasn't until this moment that Mi Chen understood that his so-called "well-planned" and "foolproof" were just self-deception, and even his "henchmen" were actually Lu Buwei's people, alas......
