193 Pedantic people
Originally, these eunuchs who came over today were very strange, so those generals and soldiers, although they received the dismissal order from General Meng Tian, they still stayed outside not far away and waited seriously.
No one expected that after the first few words of argument, they would be silent again. You must know that all of Lu Dao's subordinates are concerned about their commander, so naturally they can't sit still anymore and want to go over to see what is going on.
However, since everyone didn't want to force their heads to touch this brow, they naturally recommended the deputy marshal Wang Li to go in and check it.
At first, General Wang Li of course had a lot of concerns, but after all, because time had really passed, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to go over hard. Unexpectedly, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you see it, the soul that immediately frightened him flew out of the sky, and it was a little unpossessed.
It turned out that he actually found Gongzi Fusu and General Meng Tian lying quietly on the ground. When I walked over and took a closer look, I found that the corners of my nose and mouth were full of blood, as if there was no chance of survival.
If these things can be regarded as bizarre, there is something even more bizarre, that is, there are two personal guards with strong martial arts lying next to them. The guards were all stabbed with bloody knives in the back of their hearts, apparently stabbed with sharp weapons and killed.
"Well, how come there are no traces of a fight here? Don't you even think of the slightest struggle?" I saw General Wang Li observing these unbelievable scenes and seriously analyzing the situation at that time.
After the final analysis, in fact, these two people didn't seem to struggle, obviously they were all attacked by someone, and those who attacked them were very strong in martial arts.
But where to find some people with strong martial arts? Originally, their military camp was not something that ordinary people could easily enter, so they had no choice but to target a few eunuchs.
"Where are those eunuchs? Since they are not dead, they must have fled!" I saw Wang Li leading several of his men to search around, but after all, they did not find any trace of them.
In fact, this room is not too big, just a living room outside and three suites inside, so General Wang Li easily searched inside and out.
Finally, he had a harvest, only to see a few shallow footprints on the windowsill at the back of the room, and next to the footprints was a yellow holy decree thrown down casually.
"Ahh I saw that it was clearly written that General Meng Tian would escort Gongzi Fusu back to inherit the throne. "But how did they kill Gongzi Fusu and General Meng Tian? Conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy! But why did they throw this holy decree here? It must not have been careless, it must have been deliberately testing me!"
General Wang Li's head flashed countless times in an instant, but after reaching the extreme, he finally decided to hide this holy decree, and then deal with this very tricky matter according to the emergency, because no matter what, it must be to stabilize the morale of the army first.
"Okay! Everyone hurry up and be quiet! Now, except for General Zhang and General Liu who stay to discuss things, the rest of the personnel hurry out and go to their places, now it is an extraordinary period, and we must strictly prevent the Huns from taking the opportunity to sneak attack!" I saw that General Wang Li calmly gave an order and dismissed some unrelated personnel.
Of course, in fact, almost all of these people are rough guys with well-developed limbs and simple minds, and they didn't expect that General Wang Li would still hide his deep meaning. Even if some people had doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to disobey General Wang Li's order, so they had to obediently choose to accept the order.
"Brother Wang, why do you think this is happening? They won't even kill us!" General Liu, who looked a little stupid, didn't seem to have woken up from his fright, so he still asked in horror.
"Go! Look at your bear-like look! With this little bit of courage, I really doubt that how did you go into battle to kill the enemy? If they want to kill us, can we still stand here in a good manner?" General Zhang on the other side obviously had a different opinion from him, so he immediately looked at the terrified General Liu with disdain.
"Don't make a noise, we're standing here now, but I can't guarantee that you'll not die. You know, it's very likely that the murderer is nearby!" "Actually, General Wang Li didn't mean to scare them, but because his heart was really not very calm.
The two of them were naturally all confidants of General Wang Li, and now they heard that their boss had made a statement to intimidate him, so he immediately closed his mouth and didn't dare to ask out loud anymore.
"You two hurry up and arrange for people to clean up the battlefield, and then send the bodies of the prince and General Meng Tian back to Xianyang! Do you know that neither of them can be provoked by us, I think we should do things honestly! Otherwise, we are very likely to follow the prince and General Meng Tian and fall into the hell from which there will be no return!" Seeing that the two of them were all honest, General Wang Li hurriedly arranged their respective tasks, because the necessary task was to stabilize the morale of the army, so he himself would definitely not be able to leave easily.
"Ah! No! Now that they have been transported back to Xianyang from afar, I guess their corpses should rot before they reach their destination!"
"Report to General Wang! There are now two strangers outside the gate, they must break in to meet the prince, and ask the general to decide!" Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, and before they could agree on how to transport the bodies of the prince and General Meng Tian, they actually received a warning signal from their subordinates outside.
"Let's go over and have a look!" Since people dare to come to the barracks, they should naturally not be general, so of course General Wang Li did not dare to be careless, so he immediately led his two subordinates to hurry over.
"Hehe! Hehe, may I ask which of you is General Meng Tian? We have something important to report on our side!" At this time, Ma Shangqing and Lu Chengfeng didn't know that Fusu, the prince of Lu Dao, and General Meng Tian were dead, so the tone of the inquiry was still relatively festive.
"None of us are!May I ask what your identities are?Why do you have to look for General Meng Tian?" At this time, General Wang Li did not dare to offend Ma and Lu, because he was worried that there must be a huge hidden power behind the other party, which was not something that ordinary soldiers could provoke.
"We were sent by the Prime Minister, please hurry up and let us go over to meet General Meng Tian!" Seeing that the other party seemed to be very vigilant, Ma Shangqing took out the Black Eagle token prepared for them by Prime Minister Li Si and gently shook it in front of General Wang Li.
"Oh! Gongzi Fusu was originally the son-in-law of Prime Minister Li Si! It seems that these two people should not be in the same group as those eunuchs!" General Wang Li had naturally seen this Black Eagle Token, so even though he believed their words, he led them in.
Of course, after Ma Lu and the others saw Gongzi Fusu and their corpses, they were naturally surprised and annoyed for a while, but no matter how surprised and annoyed they were, there was no huge shock to the generals brought by King Qin's death information.
"Blocking the news, don't let these news be revealed, maybe because of these things, our Great Qin Empire will be destroyed!" After all, everyone is a veteran of the battlefield, and they know very well the importance of the emperor and even the main general to the army, so they immediately issued a gag order.
Now, not to mention how Wang Li and them arranged their troops to guard the frontier, the heavy responsibility of escorting the bodies of the crown prince and General Meng Tian naturally fell on the shoulders of Ma Shangqing and Lu Chengfeng.
Although the two of them also wanted to shirk it, but they had already taken out the token given by Prime Minister Li Si before, and at this time, they wanted to regret that they were not the prime minister's subordinates at all, so it seemed a little unreasonable, so they had to accept it helplessly.
By the time Jiangshan finally found the horses and chased them after them with great difficulty, Ma Shangqing and Lu Chengfeng had already escorted the corpses of Gongzi Fusu and General Meng Tian back at this time.
"Brother Ma, Brother Lu, what are you doing here?" Seeing that a pair of people and horses were escorting four coffins, Jiang Shandang even had a premonition that something was wrong. But after all, I didn't expect the situation to develop so badly, so I couldn't help but ask immediately.
"Alas, it's hard to put into words! In fact, we caused these tragedies because of the delay of those women and children for half a day!" Hearing Jiang Shan's inquiry, Ma Shangqing hurriedly sighed and described the whole process clearly.
"What? You mean that even the ghost shadow old seven and the eighth were killed by them?" Unexpectedly, Jiang Shan seemed to be indifferent to the death of Gongzi Fusu and General Meng Tian, but he was incredibly concerned about the ghost shadow and them.
"Yes! That's true! I remember General Wang Li recounted that it was four distinctively unknown eunuchs who killed them, and I really don't know how they did it!" I only heard Lu Chengfeng add unwillingly, as if the death of the ghost shadow Lao Qi was purely an unpredictable accident.
"No! You must be careful when you encounter these eunuchs in the future! I wonder if you still remember the person I tracked down a few days ago? The others are a eunuch! I think even I tried my best and didn't catch him, so you can imagine how strong their kung fu is!"
"Alas, I really didn't expect that the other party's martial arts were so strong, so in this case, the death of the crown prince and General Meng Tian should be inevitable!" These words aroused a huge reaction in Ma Shangqing's hearts, so they couldn't help but sigh pessimistically.
"No! Actually, the deaths of the crown prince and General Meng Tian should have been voluntarily carried out by them! In this way, it seems that whether we come or not, in fact, are the same, because this prince can't be a good emperor at all! Even if he doesn't die today, he will be killed by others sooner or later!" No one expected Jiang Shan to say such words, which really frightened Ma Shangqing and Lu Chengfeng.
"What's the matter, Brother Jiang, why are you standing on the enemy's position now?" Lu Chengfeng couldn't believe his ears, so when Jiang Shan's words just landed, he couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I said, why didn't you two figure out what I meant? Of course, I wouldn't stand on the enemy's side, but I always felt that this prince Fusu was too cowardly! Why didn't he think that this was most likely the enemy's conspiracy? Even if he didn't take this into account, he should have taken a serious look at the holy decree! Now that he has not even looked at the specific contents of the holy decree, he has committed suicide by believing the enemy's remarks, is this not worth criticizing? If it were you, would you be willing to obey someone else's arrangement?" At this time, I could only hear the narration of the head of the country, and I could not find the slightest language to refute him.
"Alas! If it is really like what Brother Jiang said, this son Fusu is simply too sad! Unexpectedly, the throne was not kept, and even his life was lost!" No matter what, Ma Shangqing felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he couldn't help but sigh after all.
If he had been born in an ordinary family, perhaps he could have become a scholar and gain fame, and now he lives in the emperor's house with this character, it will naturally be impossible to escape the fate of destruction. I'm worried that if we really hand over the Great Qin Empire to him, even if everyone in the court supports him, it is estimated that when dealing with other countries, it will not be able to please him!" Hearing Ma Shangqing's emotion, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh as well.
"Well, in that case, then we don't need to bother with a dead prince. The two of you will hurry up and report the information to the rest of the Ghost Shadow now, and I will now cremate the corpses of the Ghost Shadow Seventh and Eighth on the spot, and then leave them in Peach Blossom Valley to be buried!"
"Hey, it's just ...... It's just that we promised General Wang Li, how can we give up halfway?" Although Ma Shangqing wanted to listen to Jiangshan's arrangement, because he considered that a gentleman should be honest with others, he hurriedly hesitated and didn't know what to do.
"Alas, I see that the two of you are about to become as pedantic as Gongzi Fusu, and now you have burned your eyebrows, don't you still know the way? Not to mention the ghosts, they are very likely to die, even Prime Minister Li Si and General Li You may be implicated, are you willing to keep this promise, and bear to see these people die?" Jiang Shan was really angry in his heart at this time, so the words he said were naturally more impulsive in tone.
