Chapter Twenty-Four: Great Qin's Crossbow

In the Purple Gold Palace, Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand from time to time and looked out of the hall with some concern.

That kid didn't know what was going on, if he could find some clues, and didn't ask him to dig out Qu on his own.

As long as he can find the right answer under Meng Yi's hint, and understand that as his son of Yingzheng, he must always be on guard against the sinister nature of this world, and the rest can be learned slowly in the future, but the concept must be cultivated.

At this time, a black-clothed secret guard hurried from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the chief guard ordered me to come and report, after the trial of the case, the prince has left the Law and Criminal Division and rushed to the south of the city."

Ying Zheng sighed when he heard this, the Qu family was on the east side of the Law and Criminal Division, and he definitely didn't go to the Qu family.

It seems that Meng Yi reminded him that he still couldn't find Qu, this kid's IQ is worrying.

This can be led astray! I don't know which family I was misled to?

The dark guard saw that Yingzheng was not happy, so he continued to report.

"The corpse of the Law and Punishment Department has been disposed of, but a large number of noble retainers have gathered in the south of the city, the number is almost thousands, and the hundreds of guards brought by the prince do not know the news, but they are afraid that they will be ambushed."

"So the chief guard asks His Majesty to order the forbidden army to send more manpower!"

Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly, it seemed that he was still led by the nose of Qu Fan, an old fox.

"Whose body is it? Can there be a clue to Qu's? ”

The dark guard was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Your Majesty doesn't know what happened to the Department of Justice? Could it be that I was the first to come back to report?

Ying Zheng looked at the dark guard who didn't speak, and frowned.

"I'm asking you!"

The powerful momentum instantly made the dark guard break out in a cold sweat.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with some hesitation.

"The corpse belongs to Qu Fan and the hundreds of retainers he brought!"

After speaking, I lowered my head, for fear that Yingzheng would come, do you think I don't know?

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and he looked up cautiously and saw Ying Zheng's somewhat surprised expression.

Finally understood, His Majesty really didn't know.

"What do you say? Qu Fan's corpse? ”

The Dark Guard sighed.

"That's right!"

"Gongzi is really a man of God, and since he arrived at the door of the Judicial Department early in the morning and was assassinated, he has been taking the lead against the enemy step by step."

"Every move of the Qu clan was easily controlled by Gongzi."

"The whole process, I didn't even take any brains, it was Qu Fan's move, Childe's move, then move, and then move, basically a one-sided situation."

The more the guard spoke, the more excited he became.

"Childe's methods are so intensive, let me and other secret guards be ashamed!"

"This is still in Xianyang City, only with hundreds of forbidden troops, I really don't know if the son can lead the troops to the battle, I am afraid that he will be invincible and invincible!"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, this secret guard couldn't have been bought by Ying Xuan, right? So able to blow.

Ying Xuan has changed a lot in the past few months, and he knows it.

But you can't evolve from a tendon to a scheming hero all at once.

"Are you saying that the Qu family has been pulled out by Yingxuan?"

The Dark Guard hurried to be.

"Not only that, that Qu Fan wanted to kidnap Gongzi to escape, but was easily killed by Gongzi with a sleeve crossbow."

"Now the Qu clan has no way out, so they can only retreat to the south of the city and unite with other old nobles to resist stubbornly."

Ying Zheng nodded, it seems that Meng Yi has executed it very well.

Now that the anger has been spilled, this matter should also end here.

The combination of these nobles will also be a big disaster, and it is unrealistic for Great Qin to kill all these people, so he can only go out on his own.

Ying Zheng stood up as he spoke, and asked people to take the Lu Lu Sword, which had not been used for a long time.

……

Outside the gate of the courtyard where Qu was stubbornly guarded.

Ying Xuan pushed away Zhang Han's block, walked to the door alone, looked at the man who looked like a domestic servant and said.

"I'm here, let Qu Jing come out!"

On the way to the Qu family, the guards had already told Ying Xuan the general situation of the Qu family.

Ying Xuan knew that Qu Fan's only son was the young man named Qu Jing.

The servant said after glancing at Ying Xuan.

"Hmph, I want to see the young master, stand here and wait!"

Such arrogant words made Zhang Han and the forbidden army behind Ying Xuan look at each other angrily.

"Bastard thing! Where did you get the guts to dare to speak like this to your son? ”

Ying Xuan waved his hand and didn't care, but the bloodshot in his eyes became more and more obvious.

In the courtyard, Qu Jing was sitting in the center of the main hall at the moment, and a charming woman in a wide robe was sitting in his arms.

Qu Jing looked at the reclosed door, gritting his teeth and venting fiercely on the woman.

"See, even if it's the Great Qin Gongzi, if I let him stand here, he can only stand here!"

The woman said with a charming face.

"Yes! The young master is the master of the Qu family, the future lord of the Chu State, even if his son Yingxuan is far worse than you! ”

Qu Jing was not happy to hear this, but asked the retainers on the side.

"Can you start at night? Are the people we have planted in the Praetorian Army sure to be reliable? ”

The retainer said respectfully.

"It's all our people from the Chu State who are absolutely reliable, and they will be responsible for causing chaos at night."

"Our thousand people plus the army that ambushed outside the city, the inside and outside are enough to break through the city gate and return to Jiujiang, and when the time comes, gather the old ministers and build Dachu again."

"The northern Xiongnu will cooperate with the southward to involve the remaining energy of the Qin army, and it is impossible for the Baiyue army to turn around and return to the division if it is too far, and this hinterland of Great Qin will be whipped by your King of Chu."

Qu Jing finally relaxed a little after hearing this, and said with his eyes narrowed.

"It's just that my father is too cautious, that one just wants Ying Xuan to die, and killing one Ying Xuan can get my Da Chu back! There is a better chance of overthrowing Great Qin, and once it is missed, it will be difficult to succeed in the future. ”

"He is too confused, not only does he not understand, but he also has to let me fake my death to get out, if I kill Ying Xuan as soon as possible according to my arrangement, the army outside the city will rescue us from inside and outside."

The retainers with bulging eyebrow bones and collapsed noses on the side also followed the way.

"Yes, we saw the army outside the city with our own eyes, how could that person be a liar, the master is indeed confused!"

"Smack!"

Suddenly, a slap fell on the retainer's face.

Qu Jing said viciously.

"No matter how confused he is, it's my father! What is you, and you deserve to mention him? ”

The retainer covered his face and hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Use the wide sleeves to block the ferocity and murderous intent on his face.

Qu Jing continued unconcernedly.

"That's my father! If you don't take revenge, how to be king, Yingxuan must die tonight! ”

He turned his head to look at the ordinary people in the corner, tied up and guarded.

"Let them scream twice, lest our son run away in a while!"

The guards immediately drew their whips and struck them hard.

Ying Xuan outside the door was thinking about whether to mobilize a large number of forbidden troops and directly destroy the other party.

Suddenly, a scream came.

"Ahh

Ying Xuan reacted immediately, this was just the voice of those people, and a wave of anger rushed to the top of his head.

Xiaoru's appearance before death appeared in front of her, and this revenge must be avenged.

can forcibly rush in, these kidnapped people will die innocently again, Ying Xuan forcibly endured the killing intent and closed his eyes still.

When night falls, torches light up the surroundings.

But there was still no movement in the courtyard, and the gate did not open again until three o'clock.

Qu Jing pulled a girl as a shield and walked out cautiously.

He looked at Ying Xuan and smiled fiercely.

"Don't you love the people? Then exchange it for yourself! ”

Ying Xuan opened his eyes, and his pupils were already full of bloodshots.

Coldly, he only said one word: "Good!" ”

Zhang Han and Zhang Liang both spoke to stop them, but Ying Xuan didn't speak and just glanced at them.

In this way, everyone quietly watched Ying Xuan walk to the courtyard alone.

At this moment, on the towering city wall not far behind, a cold snort sounded in the darkness.

"Humph! A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall, such a person's courage is extremely disappointing! ”

Just when he couldn't help but stop this stupidity.

Suddenly, the situation underneath took a major turn.

After rolling up his sleeves to make Qu Jing confirm that he had removed all his weapons, Ying Xuan slowly walked towards Qu Jing.

Looking at the distance getting closer and closer, a smug expression appeared on Qu Jing's hideous face.

With Yingxuan in hand, his safety is guaranteed no matter what.

Just as he was about to move the long sword in his hand to Ying Xuan's neck, Ying Xuan suddenly asked.

"Do you know what time it is?"

Qu Jing was stunned, didn't he just change when he beat the child?

yes, it's the second day!

Ying Xuan's red eyes were covered with a layer of fog in an instant.

The senses of the whole body are instantly overwhelmed by the massive amount of information.

Every muscle in front of him that Qu Jing was trembling with excitement and fear was clearly observed by him.

One bent down and bowed his head, and he dodged the long sword.

Qu Jing panicked instantly, and he tried to press down the long sword with his wrist to stab Ying Xuan's chest.

But at the moment when the wrist moved, Ying Xuan moved sideways at the same time.

It's like a pre-rehearsed sword dance performance.

This move stunned everyone, even the one on the city wall was stunned.

Qu Jing was very frightened at this moment, he flicked the long sword for the third time but was dodged by Ying Xuan, and finally began to panic.

He wanted to withdraw the long sword and put it back on the girl's neck to threaten Ying Xuan.

But the moment the sword was retracted, a crooked index finger slammed into the hollow of his elbow with his phalange.

There is the ulnar nerve, which people prefer to call numb.

In an instant, Qu Jing was horrified to find that his arm had lost consciousness.

And Ying Xuan's elbow bent up and slammed it into his face.

Qu Jing's mind was dazed, and his sword fell.

Ying Xuan's left hand caught it, and the left arm that grabbed the hostage was splashed with blood.

The intense pain finally woke Qu Jing from his sweet dream, and fear completely took over his brain.

Running behind him.

Behind him, a thousand retainers stood densely packed in the wide courtyard, raising their crossbows at the same time as the forbidden army.

Both sides were afraid of injuring two people by mistake, and no one took the lead in shooting.

But the retainer who was closest to the condescending retainer suddenly roared angrily at this time.

"Shoot! Shoot! ”

Qu Jing, who had not yet completely escaped the door, heard the voice and looked at the retainer in disbelief.

But he found that the retainers at this time had snatched a strong crossbow and aimed at Yingxuan at the door with a crazy face!

Qu Jing clearly knew that as long as this arrow was shot, both sides would have no scruples, and although Ying Xuan would die, he would never survive.

With wide eyes, he roared as hard as he could, trying to get the woman next to him to stop his retainer.

But the woman suddenly smiled evilly, and also snatched a strong crossbow, and skillfully aimed at the door.

Qu Jing was desperate, it is impossible for an ordinary woman to come into contact with a bow and crossbow in her life, this beautiful concubine who suddenly appeared to marry her father is so skilled, it is not just an ordinary woman.

Now he finally knows why his father didn't move once after marrying her, and always kept himself away from her!

But everything was over, and the moment the crossbow strings flicked, the forbidden troops in the high places also began to fire back at the courtyard.

The scene was chaotic in an instant, and a dense rain of arrows rushed wildly over such a short distance.

One by one, the people fell like wheat, and the rest of the people were slaughtered at once.

Before the other party's finger pulled the trigger, Ying Xuan had already started to move, pulling the girl to roll to the side.

Although Ying Xuan reacted quickly, an arrow still pierced the girl's thigh.

The girl didn't make a sound until Ying Xuan pulled her to the corner of the wall.

I couldn't help but fall to the ground in pain.

Looking at the girl with blood flowing, Ying Xuan's scarlet eyes could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

"Dark Guard! Get out of here! Kill them all! ”

This roar was hysterical, and Yingzheng, who was far away on the city wall, clenched his fists tightly.

He didn't know if Ying Xuan was injured, but Meng Yi on the side heard the voice and hurriedly looked at Ying Zheng.

was scolded severely.

"See what I'm doing? Are you deaf? ”

The next moment, a continuous stream of torches lit up from the city wall, turning into a fire dragon that illuminated the entire Nancheng District.

Above the city, the surrounding houses were densely packed with soldiers dressed in black and armed with sophisticated weapons, the number of which was nearly tens of thousands.

Without any nonsense, Daqin once again showed his powerful and bloodthirsty side to the world.

Even in the dark night, Ying Xuan could feel that the moonlight was obscured by the rain of arrows at that moment.

The originally chaotic scene was silent, and after a few breaths.

There was not even a wail, and there was silence in the courtyard.

Ying Xuan was surprised, in his perception, there was just an extremely dense object, carrying a strong pressure, and smashed into all corners of the yard.

The originally dense vibration reaction in the courtyard was now very few.

He stood up, made sure there was no one in ambush, and leaned over to look into the courtyard.

There were arrows everywhere, there was no place to put their feet at all, and even the rat in the corner had two arrows stuck in its body.

The corpses were all over the ground, and they were pierced into porcupines face down, and they were even more miserable face up.

He turned his head to look at his side, and there was only a wall of arrows outside the wall.

Ying Xuan swallowed his saliva, he seemed to understand at this moment why Great Qin was able to unify the Six Kingdoms.
