Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 313 Don't Believe What Men Say Easily
"Is Li Anjun still alive?"

Wang Li stared at Li Xingyuan without blinking, and asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

Because Zhao Kun's life and death are too important to him.

Even more important than the life and death of the first emperor Yingzheng.

After all, Ying Zheng represents the past and present of the Wang family, while Zhao Kun represents the future.

Zhao Kun's life and death are directly related to the future plans of the Wang family.

The continuation of a family needs a future, if there is no future, then the family is doomed to decline.

Although the Wang family in the original history had been glorious for hundreds of years, it was nothing compared to the Qin Dynasty.

If there is a better choice for the future, I believe the Wang family will not follow the path of the original history.

Li Xingyuan thought for a while and replied seriously: "Although I'm not sure whether Mr. Li An is still alive, I can be sure that he will definitely come back!"

"Ok?"

Facing Li Xingyuan's ambiguous answer, Wang Li frowned.

But Li Xingyuan said again: "According to what I have learned, after Li Anjun was assassinated by Linliyi, he was intercepted and killed by Ying Yuanman, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the river in Zhonghuang Mountain!"

"However." As she spoke, she changed the topic, and continued: "The imperial guards in charge of the search and rescue did not find Li Anjun's body!"

Hearing this, Wang Li was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "So, Li Anjun is still alive?"

"As I said just now, I'm not sure about Li Anjun's life or death."

"Then you said he would definitely come back, why?"

When Li Xingyuan heard Wang Li's question, he looked at him strangely, and then said thoughtfully: "I assassinated Mr. Li An, and found that he was a person with strange behavior and a smart mind. Such a person committed suicide by jumping into the river. It always feels a little weird.”

"What's so strange?"

"It's life-saving! He seems to have a reason to survive, so when faced with assassination, he always tries his best."

Hearing this, Wang Li was surprised. He obviously didn't expect an assassin to know Zhao Kun so well. He couldn't help asking curiously, "You also have a reason to survive?"

"Of course!"

Li Xingyuan said frankly: "When my family and I were exiled, I swore, I swore that I must live a good life, no matter how difficult it is, I will live!"

"exile?"

Wang Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately pushed aside the forehead covered by Li Xingyuan's hair, and sure enough, he saw a mark.

This mark is the "tattoo face" engraved by the Qin State when punishing criminals.

People with 'tattoo' are not recognized in this society, so they can only live in the dark side of society.

Even if they see the sun again one day, it won't end well.

Yingbo in history is such an example.

In the early years, Yingbo violated the laws of Qin and was given "tattoo face". Later, he rebelled with Xiang Yu, and after the dispute between Chu and Han, he took refuge in Liu Bang, who named Yingbo King of Jiujiang.

But Yingbo planned to rebel in Jiujiang again, and was finally killed by Liu Bang.

Although Wang Li didn't know Yingbo yet, he couldn't help feeling a little wary when facing someone with a 'tattoo'.

But Li Xingyuan looked at Wang Li firmly, and said solemnly: "I promised my dead parents, elder brother and younger sister to live a good life and live for them, so I can't die!"

Wang Li saw a strong desire to survive in her eyes.

This was beyond Wang Li's expectation.

Killer, assassin, dead man, he has seen too many.

But I have never seen such a strange assassin.

Before Wang left his mouth, Li Xingyuan said seriously; "If you can keep me alive, I can do anything for you."

"Ha ha!"

Wang Li smiled noncommittally: "You are so afraid of death, if I let you do things, you will betray me if you are in danger, why should I trust you?"

Hearing this, Li Xingyuan's pupils shrank, and he had a vague premonition, so he gritted his teeth and said, "But you just said, as long as I answer your question, you will let me live!"

Wang Li asked a little amusedly, "Have you never heard a word?"

"What?" Li Xingyuan was taken aback.

Wang Li chuckled, "Don't trust men so easily!"

"???"

Li Xingyuan was at a loss.

puff-

Before Li Xingyuan could react, Wang Li stabbed her in the chest, her eyes widened in disbelief.

But Wang Li slowly let go of the handle of the knife, took half a step back, and said with a deadpan expression: "I believe everything you say, but I don't believe the person who assassinated my brother."

After speaking, he turned around and left the cell.

Seeing Wang Li's figure becoming more and more blurred, Li Xingyuan came to his senses and muttered to himself, "You really can't believe what a man says."

At the same time, on the other side, Pinyang County.

The news of the first emperor's death had just reached Pinyang, and white mourning flags were flying everywhere in Pinyang city.

While the whole city was mourning, someone knocked lightly on the back door of Chen Ping's mansion: "Xiao Zhao, is County Magistrate Chen at home? Please open the door!"

"Who is it!"

Xiao Zhao, who was originally practicing his golf skills in the backyard, heard the knock on the door and quickly responded.

He only heard the happy reply from outside the door: "Xiao Zhao, I'm Ma Liang, I have something important to discuss with County Magistrate Chen!"

"Ma Liang?"

Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he was the son of Marquis Ma Xing of Wu'an, and he seemed to be in the same group as the eighteenth prince Hu Hai when he was playing on the court.

But how did Hu Hai's people find this place?

Before Xiao Zhao could react, Ma Xing said again, "Why are you still standing there, open the door quickly, you will all die if you delay the big event!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao didn't have time to hesitate, and quickly opened the door.

I saw Ma Liang rushing in tightly wrapped up, and then locked the door behind him without saying a word.

"You are?" Xiao Zhao stared at Ma Liang with wide eyes, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

Ma Liang turned around and waved his hands impatiently: "If you have something to say, don't stay here!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiao Zhao's reaction, he went straight to the door.

When Xiao Zhao and Ma Liang came to the hall, Chen Ping happened to be sitting in the hall to eat.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ping looked at Xiao Zhao suspiciously: "Xiao Zhao, what is this?"

"Go back to County Magistrate Chen, he is"

"Everyone else has stepped down, I have an important matter to discuss with County Magistrate Chen!"

Before Xiao Zhao could introduce him, Ma Liang interrupted him with his throat closed.

Chen Ping looked at Xiao Zhao inexplicably, then at Ma Liang, hesitated for a moment, then waved to the servants beside him: "Get down!"

"promise!"

The servants complied and withdrew.

Soon, only Xiao Zhao, Chen Ping and Ma Liang were left in the hall.

Ma Liang didn't talk nonsense, he directly removed the fur from Bao Bao's body, revealed his face, and said to Chen Ping, "Magistrate Chen should know me, right?"

"know!"

Chen Ping nodded.

Ma Liang continued to ask: "The county magistrate Chen should know that Hu Hai is the second emperor of Qin, right?"

"What do you want to say, just say it!"

"Five days ago, the second emperor sent me a decree, asking me to pay close attention to Pin Yang's every move. I thought, he should attack you!"

"Since the second emperor ordered you to monitor, why did you tell me about it?"

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and stared straight at Ma Liang.

Ma Liang chuckled: "When Zhao Kun was in Pinyang, he told me to be a treacherous minister. I thought about it. A traitor must have his own way of retreat. Although Hu Hai became the second emperor of Qin, Zhao Kun would never let it go. !"

Hearing this, Chen Ping looked at Ma Liang suddenly with a weird look, thinking what was the matter.

But Ma Liang continued without hesitation: "I have studied Lu Buwei's deeds, and I think it is very useful to learn how to live with rare goods, so I specially tell you this matter, and hope to have a good relationship in the future!"

"Of course!" As he said that, he changed the subject: "I will still report your news to the second emperor truthfully according to the will of the second emperor. As for how you respond, it depends on your ability!"

"Why are you like this!" Xiao Zhao berated Ma Liang in a very incomprehensible manner.

Ma Liang glanced at him indifferently, and said coldly: "It's because of Mr. Li An's affection that I can do this."

"This"

Xiao Zhao hesitated to speak, but heard Chen Ping continue to ask: "Will Hu Hai attack the Wang family?"

"Ying Yuanman's murder of the late emperor was a heinous crime!" Ma Liang said with a sigh of relief, "If my guess is correct, in a few days, Xianyang's order will be delivered to Pinyang."

"So, the Wang family cannot escape the blame?"

"maybe!"

Ma Liang said something vaguely, then looked up at the sky, and said solemnly: "I have said everything that can be said and what cannot be said, and the next road is up to you!"

After saying that, he wrapped his fur again, turned and left the hall.

Chen Ping looked at the back of Ma Liang leaving, thoughtfully, for a while, raised his head to look at Xiao Zhao, and said in a low voice: "Go and find Captain Han, just say that I bought him a drink, and don't mention anything else!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Zhao nodded in response, and then left the hall.

That night!

Inside the secret room.

Chen Ping and Han Xin sat opposite each other.

Zhao Kun is not here, Han Xin is led by Chen Ping, and the two complement each other, which can be regarded as a tacit cooperation.

I saw Chen Ping said solemnly: "I didn't expect the situation to develop to the end, and the situation is exactly the same as what the king said before parting. The first emperor died, and Hu Hai would become the second emperor of Qin!"

"Then what should we do next?" Han Xin frowned.

"The current situation is not good. With Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others having a festive relationship with the emperor, as soon as the funeral of the first emperor is over, I am afraid they will attack us!"

"Where is Your Majesty?"

Chen Ping shook his head: "Your Majesty has not communicated with us for half a year, so I think we have encountered some difficulties."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said with a firm gaze: "But we can't sit still and wait for death. We have to evacuate from Pinyang and escape from Guanzhong according to the deployment of your majesty before his departure!"

"If they really want to attack us, they will definitely guard against it!" Han Xin mused, "It's not that easy to escape."

"Of course I know it's not easy."

Chen Ping frowned and said, "That's why I called you to discuss it!"

"Ok?"

"This afternoon, Ma Liang came to see me, and he said that Hu Hai has secretly ordered us to monitor us!"

"Ma Liang?"

Han Xin was taken aback for a moment, seeming a little surprised.

Although he has never dealt with Ma Liang, he also knows that Ma Liang is Hu Hai's man.

Since he is Hu Hai's person, why did he notify Chen Ping?

Hard to do.
Before Han Xin could think clearly, Chen Ping said with a straight face: "My loyalty to the emperor is unquestionable, but I can be sure of one thing, Ma Liang will not lie to us!"

"Why sure?"

"Because I have seen Your Majesty communicate with Ma Liang in private, and I was responsible for recording your words and deeds at that time!"

Han Xin tilted his head, a little weird: "It's a matter of life and death, so it's a bit hasty to judge based on this alone?"

"Regardless of whether it is hasty or not, we must follow your majesty's instructions and leave Pinyang."

"That's right, it shouldn't be too late, I'll arrange it right away!"

With that said, Han Xin was about to get up.

At this moment, Chen Ping raised his hand to stop him: "Wait!"

"Huh? What else?"

Han Xin turned his head and looked at Chen Ping suspiciously.

Chen Ping thought for a while and said, "Not only do we want to escape from Pinyang, but we also have to take away the members of the Wang family."

"Take away the members of the Wang family?"

Han Xin frowned and said, "Why?"

"According to Ma Liang, Hu Hai and the others are planning to attack the Wang family after the national funeral!"

"The Wang family has been loyal to Qin for generations, and Wang Ben and his son are still killing the enemy on the battlefield. How could they do such nasty things?"

When Chen Ping heard Han Xin's words, he smiled coldly: "You should know the relationship between Wang Ben and his son and the emperor. If they want to secure power, they must eliminate dissidents!"

Han Xin didn't understand tactics, and didn't want to ask more questions, so he said directly: "What plan do you have, tell me in detail!"

"Although Jun Shanglin gave instructions before leaving, the evacuation route is not clear, so we have to plan our own route; the first one is to sneak out of Pinyang and enter Handan, Handan is the fiefdom of Your Majesty;

Your Majesty's seal is here with me, as long as we enter Handan, we will be safe for a while, but Hu Hai and Zhao Gao sent a large army to attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist! "

"The second one is to leave Pinyang, cross the Wei River, cross the Qinling Mountains and enter the hinterland of Shu County. If Wang Ben and his son are captured without a fight, then send their family to Longxi, and we can use the strength of Wang Ben and his son to resist the attack. Enemy! What do you think?"

"I think the second way is feasible!"

Han Xin thought for a while, and said: "Although the Qinling Mountains are rugged, as long as you reach Shu County, you don't have to worry too much about safety, and you can meet Tong Wuhou and the others. I also have troops to command. As long as I have soldiers, I, Han Xin, am not afraid of anyone. !"

Chen Ping naturally knew about Han Xin's ability, but he also preferred the second way. Regardless of Wang Ben's father and son's attitude, if the two of them sent their family to them, even if they couldn't collude, they would not embarrass them.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ping said again: "There is one more thing, the craftsmen at the arsenal, we have to transfer in advance, blueprints, and all equipment, take away all that can be taken away, and destroy all that cannot be taken away! "

"I know this!"

Han Xin nodded: "Half a month ago, the military factory had already developed muskets. With the help of muskets, our confidence in evacuation should be a little bit more!"

"Then let's make such a decision. Let's go back separately and arrange the evacuation quietly. I will find a chance tomorrow morning and send someone to inform the mother and daughter of the Ying family to meet at the Wei River!"

"it is good!"

Han Xin responded and rushed back to the mansion overnight.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Ping, Han Xin, Ying's mother and daughter and other family members, under Chen Ping's careful planning, left the city in batches, went straight to the deep mountains of Qinling Mountains, and fled to Shu County.

In the evening, Ma Liang reported the situation of Pinyang to Xianyang Palace overnight.
