Qin Gong

Zhongmu City was originally an important place of Zhao State. For the original Zhao State, its status was the same as that of Yan.

Yanyu is the only place where Jinyang leads to Handan, so Zhongmoucheng is the only place where Handan goes to Luoyang. Earlier, because Luoyang was the capital of the Zhou royal family, and the Zhou royal family was the co-lord of the world, the status of Zhongmou City After the division of Jin from the three families, Zhao Guo has always sent heavy troops to garrison.

Now in Zhongmu City, with people coming and going, the wide streets are lined with bustling alleys and dazzling restaurants for the entertainment of merchants and gentry between Handan and Luoyang.

Three carriages were driving slowly in the city at this moment.

On the street, some men in common clothes with expressionless faces looked at the three carriages one after another, and then turned their heads away without paying attention.

Some old farmers with dark men and carrying firewood got up and left after seeing the three carriages.

In a relatively quiet alley.

The three carriages drove slowly and stopped slowly until they came to the gate of a mansion.

The grooms on the three carriages, after the carriages stopped, looked around calmly. They were relieved when they saw the men passing by and the old farmers carrying firewood.

"Sir, here we are!"

The leading carriage came to the carriage and said respectfully to the carriage.

Then I saw a man in his 20s on the carriage slowly walking out of the carriage.

The man looks imposing, even if he is placed outside, he has to be praised as a handsome man.

"Brother Sui! Is it here?"

After the young and beautiful man got off the carriage, several men who got off the carriage behind him stepped forward and asked.

"finally reached!"

And the two men who were traveling with the young and beautiful man rubbed their waists after getting out of the carriage, and then pointed to the mansion in front of them: "This is it!"

Done.

One of the men stepped forward quickly, came to the gate of the mansion, and patted the gate hard.

And beside the carriage.

Seeing this, the other men didn't take it seriously. One man looked around and then stepped forward.

"Tian Sui, tell me, how many people did you bring here this time? Why didn't you see anyone along the way! You must know that everyone is watching your Tian family's reaction. I can't justify it!"

The man said to Tian Sui.

Looking at Tian Sui in front of him, the man's eyes were full of worry.

After all, he is different from other people, his Chen family and Tian family have been in aristocratic family since childhood, and he Chen Xu and Tian Sui grew up together, their relationship cannot be more iron, so there is no need to hide their words.

"Don't worry, they're all here!"

Tian Sui glanced at Chen Xu, reassuring him.

"coming?"

Chen Xu's eyes widened when he heard Tian Sui's words, a little puzzled.

But now that Tian Sui opened his mouth, Chen Xu could only believe that the assassination of Ying Zheng, apart from the dead soldiers raised by the old Zhao family and a small number of people with hundreds of gold, the most important thing was Tian Sui's assassination. Qi martial arts.

And because it is an assassination, assassination, Qi Wushu with countless abilities is far more powerful and important than the dead warrior and Baijin.

"Huan Chu! Are you still thinking about Feiyan?"

Chen Xu turned his head and found a friend who was still in a daze, so he couldn't help laughing and teasing.

When Huan Chu and other men met Tian Sui's younger sister Tian Feiyan when they were in Qi before, they were shocked by Tian Feiyan's beauty. Huan Chu, who has the highest family background and is also the most promising among them, , even though he had already left Linzi, Qi State, he never thought of food or tea along the way.

This also made Chen Xu inevitably have a joke.

"Didn't Shibo Tian Ding say that? As long as anyone kills Ying Zheng, he will betroth his daughter to him!"

Chen Xu whispered with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, not only Huan Chu, who Chen Xu was looking at, but also several other aristocratic children in silk clothes, all had fiery eyes, or fantasies.

However, before Chen Xu could say another sentence, just now he opened his mouth, Tian Sui elbowed him, making Chen Xu shut up and cough twice.

"Ah! Tian Sui, you, you murdered me! It hurt me to death!!!"

Chen Xu regained his breath, pointed at his friend Tian Sui, and said with a painful expression on his face.

Tian Sui is the second son of Tian Ding of the Tian clan, a family member of the Qi royal family, and in the Qi state, he is the guard of the Yishan camp and has been guarding Muling Pass.

Although it's not the kind of very strong shout, but Tian Sui who has practiced martial arts since childhood, this strength is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

At least in Chen Xu's place, if Tian Sui exerted more force, he could just lie on the ground and fall into a coma for two or three days.

"Don't say a few words if it hurts!"

Tian Sui said, and then looked at Huan Chu.

"Brother Chu, don't worry about it. The matter of assassinating Ying Zheng is of great importance and must not be taken lightly."

Tian Sui opened his mouth and said.

For this Huan Chu, although he has a lot of beards and does not look like a handsome man, Tian Sui still has a lot of affection for him in his heart.

The ancestors of Huan, Qing, Huan, Dongguo, Lupu, etc. all originated from Duke Huan of Qi, the No. 12 king of Qi.

As a person who practiced martial arts, Huan Chu was pleasing to Tian Sui's eyes no matter his personality or his experience in military art on the battlefield. Compared with other thin and weak Confucian scholars, he was many times better.

If it weren't for his father's high demands on his younger sister's husband-in-law, Tian Sui would not object to his younger sister's marriage to the Huan family.

Just now I heard what my friend Chen Xu said.

Looking at Huan Chu's appearance, Tian Sui was really worried that Huan Chu's brain would be overwhelmed in the future, and he would raise his sword impulsively to assassinate Ying Zheng.

Qin's Xianyang garrison and Qin's illustrious Bai family iron cavalry were not ordinary soldiers. If they acted rashly, Huan Chu would definitely die without a place to bury him.

"Thank you, brother Sui, Huan Chu knows it well!"

When Huan Chu heard Tian Sui's words, he bowed to Tian Sui gratefully.

People talking.

At this time, the gate of the mansion opened slowly, and everyone heard the reputation, and saw a rather old man sticking his head out of the door, looked at the man who knocked on the door, and then looked at the group of people behind him.

"Gentleman, other gentry elders are already inside! Please!"

The old man opened the door and said to the man and everyone.

The man nodded, then turned around.

"go!"

The man greeted Tian Sui and his party beside the carriage, and went to the mansion first.

inside the mansion.

In the main hall, different from the silence outside the mansion, seven or eight elderly people, as well as twenty middle-aged men and teenagers seemed to be discussing something in the main hall.

When they saw Tian Sui and his party coming, everyone including the old man shut up.

At this time, the young man who had just knocked on the door came to the lobby and saluted the old man headed by the lobby.

"Grandfather, Zhu Xun has brought people here!"

The man cupped his hands and said.

After finishing speaking, he introduced the young man behind him to his grandfather and other elders of the gentry.

"Tian Sui, Chen Xu, Huan Chu, Dong Guogao, Jing Qi, Jing Shu!"

The man named Zhu Xun said.

While Zhu Xun was speaking, no matter if it was the old man above the lobby, or other old men and everyone, they stood up one after another, bowing their hands to Tian Sui and the others.

No one who can be in this hall has a low background, and the owner of this mansion is Zhu Xun's grandfather, and one of the descendants of the Zhao Wang family. The master's father's main surname is responsible for assassinating Ying Zheng here in Zhongmou task.

"Tian Sui, pay homage to the elder!"

"Chen Xu, meet the master!!"

Under Zhu Xun's introduction, Tian Sui and Chen Xu made a salute to Zhu Xun's grandfather one after another.

The other young men also bowed to the master.

Next came the other gentry in the lobby.

A simple introduction took a lot of time, but everyone in the lobby didn't take it seriously. After all, in the eyes of everyone, they were relieved to see Tian Sui's arrival.

The assassination of Yingzheng on this trip can be said to have been premeditated for a long time, not only in Zhongmou, but also the gentry forces in other places have their own plans to cooperate with the assassination here in Zhongmou.

However, in the face of the Qin Xianyang defenders and the Bai clan cavalry who have been fighting all the year round, no one can guarantee success.

And the arrival of Qi Martial Arts undoubtedly shocked everyone, and their hopes soared.

in the lobby.

Under the introduction, even if it is known that the assassination of Ying Zheng is of great importance, non-high-status gentry cannot participate, disclose the news, and inform outsiders. However, after chatting with each other, other old people and all middle-aged men in the lobby learned about it. It turned out that apart from Tian Sui, none of the other young men had simple problems.

The Chen family and the Dongguo family in the state of Qi, famous Confucianists, all had good relations with the Chen family and the Dongguo family.

Huan's Huan Chu, Qi Guo was young, and was called by many people the young children of the not weak Bai family and Bai Yan.

The two Jing brothers are descendants of King Chu of the Chu Kingdom. They have a very high reputation among the knight-errants. Even Chu Mo (children of the Mohist family), who is as famous as Qin Mo, respects the Jing family very much.

It can be said that a group of six people represents all aspects, and their background power and ability are far beyond everyone's imagination.

"Great!"

"Get rid of Ying Zheng this time!!! Enough!"

"Correct!"

Many people looked at each other excitedly, and everyone knew that with so many forces gathered together, it was enough to plan to murder Ying Zheng.

"Please sit down!"

The old master kept nodding his head, and seeing that everyone was chatting, he invited Tian Sui and the others to sit down and start discussing serious matters.

Before Qin State attacked South Korea and Zhao State, other vassal states did not dare to send troops rashly, and even if other forces wanted to help, they could not resist Qin State's iron hooves. Now they have the opportunity to assassinate Yingzheng. All are willing to participate.

This also made the old master, who was over half a hundred years old, clearly feel that Qin's death will not be long!
When I was a child, I watched King Zhaoxiang of Qin send the army of Qin State to attack other countries. The Lord always watched more and more gentry rebel against Qin State step by step. Now there are countless anti-Qin forces.

The Lord always had a premonition.

Sooner or later, the Qin State will be divided and attacked by the people of the world and perish.

Luoyang City.

As night fell, Bai Yan yawned, and watched the news from all over the country of Zhao under the candlelight.

On the road from Luoyang to Handan, news from almost all places told Bai Yan that the roads along the way were very safe, and the local city captains and captains had already ordered people to check and garrison him.

Even the espionage and spies among the gentry bought by him, Bai, Feng, and Yang are the same.

"what is the problem?"

Bai Yan rubbed his forehead, full of doubts.

It is impossible for the gentry in Zhaodi to bribe all the officials and generals of Qin State along the way. From this point of view, the news is true.

What's more, some of those gentry have been bought, which is unknown to those gentry, and if there is any trouble in those gentry, he will definitely receive the news.

In other words.

Those gentry were indeed not laying an ambush.

But that's what makes it even more worrying.

It's too reassuring, even vaguely deliberate.

It seems that some forces are leading all this behind the scenes.

"Am I worrying too much?"

Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips piled up in front of him. Behind each of the bamboo slips was the officials and generals of Qin State on the way to Handan.

"General!"

At this time, the door of the room was slowly pushed open, and Gui walked in at this time.

"General, it has been investigated clearly, Wu Yun did not follow!"

Gui handed over to Bai Yan to report.

"Okay! Then ignore Wu Gao for the time being."

Bai Yan said.

After speaking, Bai Yan looked at Gui.

"Gui, tomorrow you will take five people with you, put on a disguise after removing your armor, and send me to Yangcheng."

Bai Yan handed Gui a roll of bamboo slips that had been prepared earlier.

Before the news of Yanmen came, Bai Yan couldn't see clearly on the road to Handan, as if his eyes were covered with a cloth.

In this situation.

Bai Yan's biggest reliance is Xu Zixiao's identity.

At the beginning, Bai Yan used Xu Zixiao's identity to bring [-] shi of grain to Zhao Guo. Although it was a divorce, the grain was real, and no one would doubt Xu Zixiao's identity.

As for Wu's status, the only thing Bai Yan is sure of right now is to use Xu Zixiao's identity to get news from Wu Gao.

or.

Use Wu Yun!

Bai Yan couldn't do anything about it. On the one hand, Ying Zheng's safety, Zhao Ji's safety, as well as his own life and the lives of the soldiers were all being threatened.

On one side is Wu Yun.

Which is more important, Bai Yan, as the commander of the iron cavalry, has no choice.

"promise!"

When Gui heard Bai Yan's words, he bowed his hands and accepted the order.

But just as Gui took the bamboo slips from Bai Yan, footsteps came from outside the study.

Then I saw Yan Mao walking in from the outside, and there seemed to be some anger on Yan Mao's scarred cheek.

Under Gui's gaze, Yan Mao came to the study.

"General, the last general of Ying Kan asked the general to come and tell the general that the Zhao army was wiped out, and those who died were killed. Except for the Zhao army who was huddled in Daidi, only Zhao Bianqi, who was captured by the general in Yanmen, was left. The guard general appointed by the king should be calm and calm, and should not be in a state of anxiety all day long, even chasing after the wind."

Yan Mao cupped his hands and said to Bai Yan.

After finishing speaking, before Bai Yan could speak, Gui beside him widened his eyes, looked at Yan Mao, and then at Bai Yan, his eyes gradually became angry.

Gui was short of breath, didn't speak, and kept looking at Bai Yan.

"You go down first!"

Seeing Gui's gaze, Bai Yan said softly.

As a life-threatening friendship, Bai Yan's eyes are naturally clear, and Bai Yan doesn't take Ying Kan's words to heart.

Ying Kan belongs to the Ying clan, when he left the hall after receiving the appointment, Bai Yan could clearly feel the arrogance in Ying Kan's expression when he was speaking to him outside the hall.

That is the sense of superiority brought by identity, status, and blood.

Later, Ying Kan asked him to go to the palace of Queen Mother Zhao alone, which clearly reflected this point.

this way.

Because of being careful and careful, Bai Yan often handed over every detail to Ying Kan, which made Ying Kan a little impatient, but now Ying Kan also received the pile of bamboo slips on the table in front of him.

That's why Ying Kan said bluntly, those words that were full of metaphors.

Even in the words, Ying Kan was very dissatisfied and said that if there was an ambush, the only possibility was that Bai Yan deliberately asked Zhao Bianqi from Yanmen to ambush him.

"promise!"

When Gui heard Bai Yan's words, he cupped his hands in resentment and saluted, then turned and left.

Yan Mao watched Gui leave beside him, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"General, what should I do?"

Yan Mao asked.

Fang Caigui's eyes were so obvious, how could Yan Mao not see it.

Yan Mao was not surprised by this. He was the one who heard Ying Kan's words just now, and he couldn't help being filled with anger.

Followed the general in front of him through life and death, Yan Mao knew very well that the general was definitely not the kind of Ying Kan, someone who had never been on the battlefield could be compared.

At the beginning, he was in Gaonu in Shangjun.

If it weren't for the general's judgment and premonition, the entire Bai family iron cavalry, the entire Gaonu, and even the entire Shangjun would have been slaughtered by the Yuezhi and Xiongnu tribes.

"Don't care about winning!"

Bai Yan looked at these bamboo slips and sighed.

Ying Kan is a pampered member of the royal family, and now Bai Yan is too lazy to count on Ying Kan.

What's more, what Ying Kan said just now, Bai Yan understood that even if he took the initiative to find Ying Kan, it would be useless.

"You arrange a few soldiers first, go to Yanmen, remember to let the soldiers dress up in disguise!"

Bai Yan looked at Yan Mao.

If someone really set up an ambush on the way, and there is no news, then the forces behind will definitely block the way to Yanmen on the way.

Therefore, for this trip, it is best for the soldiers to go to Yanmen to go in disguise and not wear Qin Jia.

"promise!"

When Yan Mao heard Bai Yan's words, he clasped his hands in response.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan watched Yan Mao turn and leave, knelt down in front of the desk, looked at the desk full of doubts, and pushed the bamboo slips on it.
