Qin Gong

The recognition of identity, plus the recognition of status, almost didn't require Bai Yan to ask at all, and he learned most of the things in the chat.

Not only was it confirmed that there was an ambush to assassinate Ying Zheng in Zhongmou City, but even the names of many noble families all appeared in Bai Yan's ears.

It can be said that as long as Bai Yan kills the three of Wu Gao and hands over the list of these gentry to Ying Zheng, the assassination of Zhongmou City will be in vain.

After all, to assassinate Ying Zheng who is protected by Qin's army with a small force, the biggest reliance is to be in the dark, and there is a surprise.

And once the forces in the dark are exposed in the light.

At the beginning, the South Korean army and the famous Zhao Bianqi couldn't resist the Qin army. It was impossible to succeed with the strength of those gentry.

However, just as Bai Yan was memorizing the list of these gentry clans in his mind, suddenly Shiyan mentioned a person, which caught Bai Yan's attention.

"Tian Sui!"

When Bai Yan heard this name, he was full of doubts.

Because if I remember correctly, when I was in Yanmen, Tian Feiyan said that one of his elder brothers was named Tian Sui.

Is it the same name or?
Just when Bai Yan was wondering.

"Tian Sui and I are old friends. Tian Sui is the son of Tian Ding, the Tian clan of Qi State, the clan of the King of Qi. He has been ordered to be stationed in the Yishan camp before. The famous Qi martial arts in Qi State is under the command of Tian Sui."

Shi Yan explained to Bai Yan that during the conversation, he also told all about why Tian Sui came here, and also told Bai Yan that Tian Sui's Qi martial arts was one of the main forces in the assassination of Ying Zheng.

At this moment, Tian Sui, who was far away in Zhongmou City, could never have imagined that the assassination plan, which took a huge risk, had already been exposed in front of a Qin general before it even started.

"All martial arts are here!"

Bai Yan couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he heard Shiyan's words, but fortunately he pretended to sigh immediately.

Knowing that Tian Feiyan's eldest brother, Tian Sui, was actually one of the main force behind the assassination of Ying Zheng, Bai Yan felt that things became more difficult.

If there is a fight in Zhongmou City, it means that Tian Feiyan's eldest brother will become the target that Qin must get rid of, and the entire Tian Ding branch of the Tian family will not end well in the future.

Thinking back to two years ago, when he left Qi with no identity or status, Tian Feiyan agreed to help him take care of his grandmother.

From two years ago until now, Tian Feiyan has tried his best to help him take care of his family.

thought here.

Bai Yan knew that no matter what, he had to find a way to kick Tian Sui out of this incident, and Tian Sui could not be implicated.

"What's wrong, Zixiao?"

Seeing Bai Yan's pensive face, Wu Gao asked softly.

Bai Yan came back to his senses, then looked at Wu Gao, shook his head, indicating that it was okay.

"By the way, General Qin Chu Ren!"

Thinking of something, Bai Yan turned to look at Zheng Liu.

"Would you like to help you get rid of Ying Zheng?"

Bai Yan asked.

Putting Tian Sui's matter on the other side first, what Bai Yan is most curious about right now is whether General Chu Ren participated in the assassination of Ying Zheng.

inside the room.

When Zheng Liu heard Bai Yan's inquiry, if it was someone else, Zheng Liu might not have revealed such a secret.

However, Bai Yan had just saved the lives of the Zheng clan, if it wasn't for Bai Yan, the bamboo slips would have been delivered to Ying Zheng, and the consequences would have been disastrous, so Zheng Liu naturally wouldn't hide Bai Yan.

Looking around to make sure there was no one there, Zheng Liu looked at Bai Yan and nodded slightly.

Not a word.

However, the act of nodding slightly made Bai Yan feel refreshed.

No wonder, in Yingchuan County, Yang Duan and the old general couldn't catch those gentry at all.

It turned out that Yang Duan and the old general's every move, even how many troops, and which road Liangsu took at that time, were all clear to those gentry.

At this moment.

Before Bai Yan could speak, Zheng Liu stood up and invited Bai Yan.

"Xu Junzi, thank you for your kindness, please follow me to the Zheng family. I will set up a banquet today to entertain you."

Zheng Liu said.

Although Mr. Zheng was not around, Mrs. Zheng would definitely repay Bai Yan for saving his life.

Hearing this, Bai Yan shook his head and looked at Zheng Liu.

"Yingzheng has already left Luoyang, and Zixiao needs to leave as soon as possible. He must arrive at Zhongmou City before Yingzheng, otherwise our plan may be affected!"

Bai Yan raised his hand, tactfully refused the invitation, and looked at the three of them: "The day when Ying Zheng dies suddenly, is the time when Zi Xiao and the princes will have a drink!"

some words.

Let the hearts of Zheng Liu, Wu Gao, and Shiyan surge.

Just like what Xu Zixiao said, now is the critical time to assassinate Yingzheng. When the assassination of Yingzheng is completed in the future, we will have a drink together.

"I will go to Zhongmu with Zixiao!"

"So am I!"

Wu Gao and Shiyan spoke hastily.

Zheng Liu felt a little regretful. As a son of the Zheng family, Zheng Liu had to stay in Luoyang. After all, Mrs. Zheng was very important in participating in the assassination.

Afterwards, the Zheng family must be in a very dangerous situation, and Zheng Liu must wait for the opportunity to leave with his tribe in Luoyang.

is also like this.

Looking at the three of them now, Zheng Liu could only say that he was in Luoyang, waiting for good news.

After half an hour.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Huai had brought people and prepared the carriage, Wu Gao and Shi Yan were notifying the subordinates, planning to leave with Bai Yan in the carriage after a while.

"Gentleman, do you want to do it?"

Huai came to Bai Yan's side and asked softly.

Although Fang Cai was standing guard in the courtyard, he didn't know the conversation in the room, but back then in Handan, Huai Ke had seen Wu Gao, knew Wu Gao's origin,

Naturally.

Huai immediately realized that if he guessed correctly, the other two men who were with Wu Gao should also be anti-Qin people.

"Need not!"

When Bai Yan heard Huai's words, he said softly, and then coughed twice.

Looking around, Bai Yan frowned slightly.

"If these three people have any troubles, it will not be beneficial to us. On the contrary, they are safe and sound from the beginning to the end, which can prove that the leak of the news is not the reason here in Luoyang."

Bai Yan explained.

As for Zheng Liu and Shiyan, Bai Yan does not intend to kill these two people. Even Zheng Shi and Bai Yan do not intend to do it themselves. Instead, they are looking for an opportunity to send today's list to Ying Zheng. , Get rid of Mrs. Zheng, and thus get rid of Mrs. Zheng.

Only in this way, if there is any problem in Zhongmou City, no one will suspect Luoyang.

After all, if there is a problem here in Luoyang.

The first ones to be eliminated should all be Zheng Shi, Zheng Liu, Shiyan, Wu Gao, and General Chu Ren!

"promise!"

When Huai heard Bai Yan's words, he nodded quickly.

Seeing Wu Gao and Shiyan approaching from a distance, Huai didn't ask any more questions, but turned around to let his subordinates prepare to leave under Bai Yan's order.

"Zi Xiao, I have ordered someone to tell Eldest Sister!"

Wu Gao came to Bai Yan, cupped his hands and said.

After finishing speaking, Wu Gao thought for a while.

"I'm going to Zhongmou City, no matter what happens or not, I ask Zixiao to stay for a few days!"

Wu Gao said.

Looking at the young Xu Zixiao in front of him, in Wu Gao's heart, he actually didn't mind that the eldest sister had something to do with Xu Zixiao. After all, Xu Zixiao was not handsome in appearance and not tall in stature. If you are responsible, you can match the elder sister.

And Wu Gao was still vaguely worried.

After all, the eldest sister once had a lover, and I don't know if Zixiao is like Confucianism in his heart, he would mind these pasts,

"nature!"

When Bai Yan heard Wu Gao's words, he raised his hand to salute, and while nodding in agreement, he also instructed Wu Gao softly.

"Don't let her go to Zhongmou City!"

Bai Yan said.

After a while, Zhongmou City is destined not to be peaceful, but will become a bloody place full of turmoil and killings. Wu Yun must not go to Zhongmou City.

"Wu Gao knows!"

Wu Gao said with a smile.

Wu Gao also understood Bai Yan's worries, so naturally he would not tell his eldest sister that Wu Yun was in Zhongmou City.

Meng County.

Luoyang went all the way, crossed the Zhuo River from Heyong, and finally arrived at Yewang.

In a huge courtyard, there are Qin soldiers holding long Ge weapons all around.

In the courtyard, Nanjiao, the gentleman of Weiguo, led more than a dozen men from the clan, all prostrated themselves on the ground, and bowed to Yingzheng and his party.

If Bai Yan was here, he would definitely have noticed that behind the monarch of Wei and several old men, among the many young men in silk clothes, he had seen one.

That was Wei Kan, also known as Zijiao Kan, who had met once in Handan.

"Wei Jiao, pay homage to King Qin and Queen Mother Qin!"

"Wei Kan, pay homage to King Qin and Queen Mother Qin!!"

In the yard, one after another voices sounded.

"Free gift!"

Ying Zheng looked at Wei Jiao and said softly.

Although the state of Wei is still a vassal state, it has already existed in name only.

After seeing Wei Jiao get up, Ying Zheng kept saying flattering words.

see.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng didn't reveal any expression. As King Qin, Ying Zheng had heard too much about this.

In fact, compared to these descendants of Weiguo, and Mrs. Zheng, who is beautiful and obediently following her mother, Ying Zheng is more willing to find a place to chat with Li Ji.

Yingzheng is very clear that compared with Li Chong, Li Ji's identity is more representative, not only in Jingshi Mountain, for Confucian scholars all over the world to see, but more importantly, Qin State just destroyed Zhao, and Li Ji's attitude will affect the future of Qin State. Assimilating Zhao Guo will be of great help.

"Thank you King Qin!"

"Thank you King Qin!!"

Hearing King Qin's words, Wei Jiao expressed his gratitude again.

At this moment, Wei Jiao's ears were also full of red. For a long time, in everyone's heart, Wei Jiao was the king of the country of Wei, and even Wei Jiao thought that he was the king of a country.

Not to mention the exterminated Han and Zhao countries, even the officials of Chu, Wei, Qi, Yan, and even Qin, when they saw him, they had to pay homage to him as a king.

However until this moment.

Wei Jiao had just gotten up in a daze, how high he had stood in his heart, and how much he had lost his mood when he was just rehearsing the ceremony.

But Weijiao is also clear.

His Weiguo's ability to save himself is all dependent on Yingzheng. He remembers Wei Yang's help to Qin at the beginning, and Weiguo has no threat to Qin. , harmful and not beneficial.

behind it.

Wei Jiao came back to his senses and looked at the clansmen behind him, a group of Qin officials and generals, some of whom Wei Jiao was very familiar with.

Qin General Yang Duanhe, Longxi Governor Li Chong, Qin Guo Shangqing Mao Jiao, and the young Qin General Li You who had talked with him at night by candlelight a few months ago, and Li Xin and other officials and generals.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter sent by General Bai Yan!"

At this time, in the corridor, behind everyone, under the watchful eyes of Wei Jiao and everyone else, an eunuch hurried over, holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands, came to Ying Zheng.

"Bai Yan?"

Ying Zheng was a little surprised when he heard the eunuch's words.

In the courtyard, there were many people who were also surprised to hear the name Bai Yan, except Ying Zheng.

Yang Duan, the old general, Li Xin, Li Ji and others were very surprised. Even Mrs. Zheng, who was beside the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, looked calmly at the scroll of bamboo slips that Ying Zheng reached out to take with her pretty face.

Everyone knows that.

When Ying Zheng left Luoyang, Bai Yan had already left Luoyang on horseback ahead of time, and took people to Zhongmou City to investigate the situation ahead of time.

Not long after that, a bamboo slip was delivered.

Everyone is curious.

What will be written in that scroll of bamboo slips!
"Tired, go to rest first!"

Zhao Ji said at this time, from the look of her expression, it seemed that she was a little tired because her body was already unwell and there were constant bumps along the way.

"Queen, I'll take you there!"

Mrs. Zheng heard Zhao Ji's words, and quickly stretched out her hand to help Zhao Ji carefully.

"Thanks a lot!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ji did not refuse, but gave Madam Zheng a doting look, as if she liked Madam Zheng very much.

But just after finishing speaking, when leaving, Zhao Ji glanced calmly at the bamboo slip in Ying Zheng's hand, and it disappeared in an instant.

Mrs. Zheng didn't notice either.

For Mrs. Zheng, she wasn't very worried about Bai Yan, who was spreading rumors outside.

Although I have never met Bai Yan, and it is rumored that Bai Yan is very good at leading troops in battle.

But Mrs. Zheng is more aware that this plan to assassinate Ying Zheng has been strictly kept secret. Even if Bai Yan travels day and night, he is still far away from Zhongmou City, and even if he arrives in Zhongmou City in the future, Bai Yan will never investigate what.

On the contrary, as soon as the time came, the gentry in Zhongmou City would immediately get rid of Bai Yan.

In the secret letter sent right now, maybe there are some things that are not painful at all.

inside the yard.

Many officials, as well as Wei Jiao and others, watched as Mrs. Zheng slowly helped the Queen Mother Zhao Ji to leave.

At this time, under the gaze of everyone, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji's leaving back, didn't say anything, but turned to open the bamboo slips, and looked at the contents.

now.

Everyone, including Yang Duanhe and Mao Jiao, did not know what was written in the bamboo slips sent by Bai Yan.

All I know is that Ying Zheng held the bamboo slips and looked at them. Although his expression didn't change much, the look in his eyes seemed a little surprised and surprised, and then he seemed to be full of relief.

The contents of the bamboo slips seem to be very, very long.

Everyone looked at Ying Zheng for a long, long time.

It wasn't until after reading it that Ying Zhengfang sighed and looked in the direction of Zhongmoucheng.

"Good! Good! Cai!"

Ying Zheng murmured.

This appearance also made everyone puzzled. Among the Qin officials, Li Xin and Li You were even more puzzled.

Why did your majesty look at Zhongmou City? Could it be that Bai Yan has already received some news?
At this moment, not only Li Xin and Li You had this idea, but even other Qin officials, especially Ying Kan who didn't take it to heart when they heard Bai Yan sent the secret letter at first.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Majesty?"

Ying Kan looked at Ying Zheng's appearance, a little curious.

But after thinking about it, he felt that Bai Yan could never have received any news, after all, his eyeliner had already spread all over the place along the way, and if there was any trouble, he should be the first to know.

Could it be that Bai Yan was playing tricks?
With this thought in mind, Ying Kan's brows relaxed, and a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

At this time, in Ying Kan's heart, he already thought that Bai Yan was probably making a big fuss again.

inside the yard.

Just as Ying Kan was relieved.

Ying Zheng had already looked away, rolled up the bamboo slips in his hand, and handed them to the eunuch.

"Without the widow's order, no one is allowed to open this scroll of bamboo slips without authorization. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

Ying Zheng said.

A simple sentence shocked everyone in the yard.

Yang Duan and the old general frowned slightly, and looked at Mao Jiao, Li Chong, Li Ji and others calmly.

Mao Jiao, Li Chong, Li Ji and others also looked at Yang Duan and the old general full of doubts.

Although they don't know what Bai Yan found and what was written in the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng's order just now made all of them realize that the contents of the bamboo slips may be very important.

thought here.

Among the few old men, Yang Duan and the old general were the most surprised. You must know that before Bai Yan went to Luoyang Palace to ask to see Ying Zheng in Luoyang, he was the first to visit him.

After asking for his opinion, after Bai Yan left, he thought that Bai Yan would ask Ying Zheng to stay in Luoyang temporarily.

Unexpectedly, he and his eldest brother got the news that day that Bai Yan had left Luoyang ahead of schedule!

It wasn't until then that Yang Duan and the old general realized that from the very beginning, Bai Yan had no intention of admonishing Ying Zheng, but was planning to ask for orders to leave early and go to Zhongmou City to investigate.

And now look at the situation.

That Bai Yan was once again beyond his elder brother's expectations, and seemed to have found some news!
When Yang Duan and the old general thought of this, their hearts were full of emotion.

Perhaps when Zhao was destroyed, his deputy general was Bai Yan, and perhaps he would not be helpless.

"promise!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's order, the eunuch held the bamboo slips in both hands, responded softly, and then turned and left.

And not far away.

Ying Kan looked at the eunuch passing by with a dazed expression.

Could it be that the spies sent by Bai Yan before really found any news?
Impossible!

Thinking of this, Ying Kan kept staring at the bamboo slip in the eunuch's hand, curious about what was written inside.
