Chapter Eighty-Nine: Zhang Liang's Assassination
On the road leading from Xianyang to Chenjun, a carriage was hurrying forward, and on the carriage was Zhang Liang, who was ordered by Fusu to recruit Ying Yao, and at this moment Zhang Liang was less than 100 miles away from Chenjun.
In a dense forest two miles in front of Zhang Liang's car, five or six strong men with strong martial arts were crawling among the bushes on the side of the avenue, holding knives and crossbows, waiting for Zhang Liang's car to enter the dense forest.
"Big brother, find out clearly, the person in the car is the dog thief Zhang Liang, and his car is less than two miles away." A young man who had just returned from inquiring about the news leaned over and said to the leader.
"Brothers, the opportunity to avenge the king has come, Fusu can't kill him, isn't there a way for this little Zhang Liang, if this person hadn't made trouble in Qingzhang Mountain, would Fusu have raised troops to destroy my Nanyue country?"
"That is, this time we will definitely kill this dog thief and avenge the king."
……
These people are the personal entourage of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and the middle-aged strong man named Ji Pu is the son of the Korean clan, according to the genealogy of the Ji family, this person is also the brother of Han Wangan, the last monarch of South Korea.
He was only nine years old when Korea was destroyed, but he witnessed the tragic scene of the Korean clan's children being killed by the Qin army, and the children of the clan who survived were escorted to Xianyang by the Qin army.
Because Ji Pu was too weak at that time, no Qin army was willing to kill him, after all, killing a child who was as weak as a chicken was really worthy of the prestige of the Great Qin soldiers, so Ji Pu begged for a way to live under the Qin army, but was still escorted to Xianyang by the Qin army and imprisoned in the prison.
Eight years later, the First Emperor pardoned the Six Kingdoms, and he was released.
When he was released from prison, he was already a seventeen-year-old boy, just the age of military service, and he resolutely joined the Qin army in desperation, and then followed General Ren Huan all the way south to Nanhai County.
After Zhao Tuo established himself as the queen of Nanyue, Ji Pu was favored by Zhao Tuo again, and was selected by his side and became the personal entourage of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue.
Since following the king of Nanyue, Ji Pu feels that he has a home, and the kindness of the king of Nanyue makes Ji Pu grateful, a person who has suffered from chaos since he was a child, has finally found dignity, how can he not be grateful to Dade?
After Zhao Tuo was forced to death by the Qin army, Ji Pu felt that his sky had fallen, and he also thought about giving Zhao Tuo a funeral, but his hatred for Fusu made him choose to live in secret. Helplessly, Fusu was too much of a chicken thief, and there were many guards to protect him, and he couldn't find a chance to get close for a while, so Ji Pu had to shift his gaze to the people around Fusu.
The first person to be targeted by Ji Pu was Zhao Shi, the prince of Nanyue who surrendered to Great Qin, and when Ji Pu learned that Zhao Shi was willing to exchange the position of county guard for Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, to be buried outside Dongye City, Ji Pu put away his murderous intentions against Zhao Shi.
After giving up Zhao Shi, Ji Pu began to look for the next target, and after thinking about it, Ji Pu transferred his hatred to Zhang Liang, because in his opinion, Zhang Liang was the first evil person who induced Fusu to exterminate the South Yue Kingdom.
There is also an important reason that is also imperceptibly aggravating his hatred of Zhang Liang, this reason is that Zhang Liang's ancestor is the prime minister of the Han Kingdom for the fifth generation, and Zhang Liang is the authentic state minister, it stands to reason that Zhang Liang should be jealous of the Qin State, and now this Zhang Liang is serving under Fusu, in Ji Pu's view, he is a great rebel and recognizes the thief as his father, so Zhang Liang became the first person on Ji Pu's must-kill list, so Ji Pu took a few brothers who were as angry about the death of the king of Nanyue as himself, and quietly sneaked into Qin, preparing to find an opportunity to assassinate Zhang Liang.
When Ji Pu learned that Zhang Liang was going to Huaiyang to persuade Ying Yao, he was overjoyed for a while, and immediately led several brothers to leave Xianyang, looking for an opportunity to lurk on the road to Chenjun, waiting for Zhang Liang's arrival.
At this time, Zhang Liang didn't know that he had taken the cauldron of exterminating the first evil of South Vietnam for Fusu, and put himself in a huge crisis, and he was still leisurely riding in the carriage towards the woods in front of him.
Just as Zhang Liang's car was about to enter the woods, several frightened birds jumped up from the forest and fluttered into the sky.
Looking at the birds flying into the air, the driver of the car was a little frightened, then stopped the carriage, looked left and right uneasily for a while, and then stretched his neck and opened his eyes to look at the situation in the forest.
After watching for a while, the coachman sat back disappointed and looked at Zhang Liang with a worried expression.
"Sir, do you see that?" The coachman asked in trepidation.
"It's just a few frightened birds, don't panic, you just need to catch the car."
Seeing Zhang Liang say this, the coachman had no choice but to drive the carriage into the forest.
The tall locust trees were hidden in the mist, and the low bushes behind them were hidden from the reality, adding to the already nervous coachman's uneasiness.
The coachman looked back at Zhang Liang resentfully, and secretly blamed Zhang Liangtuo for not bringing the guards, and when the coachman saw that Zhang Liang did not have a trace of panic on his face, the uneasiness also dissipated a lot.
Just when the driver thought everything was fine, an accident came unexpectedly;
"Whoosh ......" The sound of arrows breaking through the air instantly broke the silence in the forest.
"Whoosh, whoosh......"
"Bell ......"
The sound of the arrow nailed to the carriage clearly reached Zhang Liang's ears, and the carriage shook slightly.
"Brothers, kill with me, kill the dog thief Zhang Liang," Ji Pu hissed and rushed out first.
"What should I do, sir?"
Seeing Ji Pu and the others who suddenly appeared, the coachman was already frightened and overwhelmed, and asked tremblingly.
At this moment, Zhang Liang was also a little panicked, only to realize that this time he was a little too trusted, and Fusu had arranged a tiger army of hundreds of people to escort him, but he politely declined.
"Childe, why don't you persuade more?" Zhang Liang sighed with a bitter face.
After listening to what Zhang Liang said, the coachman was petrified, and he couldn't help but despise Zhang Liang: "How can there be such a brazen person in this world!" ”
After a moment, Fusu shouted hoarsely to the coachman:
"Rush, rush me, you must rush out."
The coachman immediately raised the reins in his hand, whipped the horse vigorously, and "struck" violently.
I saw Zhang Liang's carriage jump out in an instant, gallop up rapidly, and go straight to the exit on the other side of the woods.
Seeing that Zhang Liang had escaped, Ji Pu and the others hurriedly chased after him, and ran wildly behind the carriage.
After a while, the coachman fled from Ji Xiong's pursuit in his carriage and came to the other side of the woods.
Just as Zhang Liang's carriage was about to escape from this deadly forest, a broken pit lay in front of Zhang Liang's carriage, blocking Zhang Liang's escape route.
Zhang Liang looked at the broken pit in front of him, which was one step wide and ran through the entire road.
"Childe, what should I do?"
At the moment when Zhang Liang looked at the broken pit in front of him, Ji Xiong and the others had already caught up and shot sharp arrows at Zhang Liang's carriage.
"No matter, you just rush, if you can't rush out, you will fight with them."
Zhang Liang commanded the coachman with a gloomy face, then took out a long sword from behind him, held it tightly in his hand, and was ready to fight desperately with the pursuers at any time.
Looking at the horse that tried his best to pull the cart but couldn't pull the car, Zhang Liang was completely desperate, and jumped off the car with a rub, ready to fight the thieves chasing behind.
"Sir, no, the old slave still has a way." The coachman said and ran to the back of the car.
"Danger, come back." Zhang Liang hurriedly shouted to the coachman, but to no avail, because at the moment when Zhang Liang shouted, the coachman had already run behind the car.
After a moment, Zhang Liang was surprised to find that the wheels of the carriage had slowly risen from the broken pit, and had crossed the broken pit under the pull of the horses, and it was obvious that the carriage had been pushed out from behind by the coachman.
After the carriage was freed, the coachman staggered back to Zhang Liang, then climbed onto the carriage and staggered back to his seat.
"Sir, get in the car."
Seeing that Zhang Liang was still stunned by the carriage, the coachman shouted angrily.
Zhang Liang hurriedly climbed into the carriage and crawled into the carriage.
Seeing Zhang Liang sit back in the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage and galloped again, leaving Ji Pu and the others to blow their beards and stare in the back.
After a full column of incense, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.
"Sir, you can drive this carriage for a while, I'm afraid the old slave won't be able to do it." The coachman said weakly to Zhang Liang.
Hearing the fatigue revealed in the coachman's words, Zhang Liang immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, sat next to the coachman, and looked at the coachman carefully.
