Qin Gong

Although it is winter, but it is not yet warm spring, it is still a bit cool after sunset.

Under the night.

In the dark street, as every household fell asleep, a figure suddenly appeared in the dark alley.

Two drunken men were walking staggeringly on the dark street, talking about the woman they saw in the restaurant just now, recalling the charming figure of the woman, thinking that if they could hug each other in their arms, then What a treat.

But when it was mentioned that the woman was going to the private room, the two of them expressed admiration for the man in the private room.

while walking.

Just now when they came to a corner, in the hazy moonlight, while the two were talking, they could vaguely see a black shadow standing in front.

"Who?"

One of them opened his mouth curiously, but at the moment when he spoke, a faint cold light flashed in his eyes. The next moment, with the faint sound of the sharp blade piercing through the air, the man let out a muffled grunt, and slowly fell to the ground.

Another drunken companion finally vaguely saw at this time that the black shadow was actually holding a sharp knife in his hand.

The drunkenness woke up in an instant, but he hadn't turned around to run away, and he didn't even have time to yell. The next moment, the man suddenly felt pain all over his body, his pupils widened, his body gradually went numb, he lost consciousness, and he stared blankly at the front.

call out!
As this companion fell, behind him, a black figure was also holding a sharp blade. If you got close, you could vaguely see blood stained on it, sliding down the blade, slowly dripping from the tip of the sword. Drops of falling.

"on!"

Accompanied by a voice sounded.

Under the hazy night, a few men in black stepped forward, stuck to the wooden board, and knocked rhythmically on the wooden door. After a while, the originally closed wooden door slowly opened in an instant.

"People are inside!"

The person who opened the door for these men in black said softly.

When the men in black heard the words, they all held sharp knives and walked towards the room.

"Who?"

"Who are you???"

"do not!!"

One by one voices soon came out from the quiet small house.

And on the street, listening to the movement from Xiaoshe, a voice sounded again.

"ignition!"

Soon, as each torch was slowly lit, the flames of more than 30 torches instantly illuminated the entire street extremely brightly.

Looking at the flames, men dressed in black almost filled the entire street, the number of them was no less than a hundred, and there were more than 20 people holding bows.

The leading man in black was only about 27 or [-]. He looked at the small house with the door opened in front of him, and his eyes were on the second floor.

The man in black was not in a hurry to let the rest of the people kill him.

Xiaoshe was right in front of him, and there were enough people here. To prevent accidents, he even brought more than 20 archers who were good at bows, and both the arrows and the swords of the others had been smeared with poison.

This time, no matter how powerful Qin General Bai Yan is, he will never escape.

However, the man always kept his instructions in mind and tried his best to save Bai Yan's life and bring him to Chu State.

for a long time.

Following the sound of footsteps in the small house, after a while, several men in black were seen dragging several men to the leading man.

Men in black were thrown to the ground one by one. Under the light of several torches, the leading man in black took out a piece of cloth from his arms, looked at the portrait on it, and then scanned the men kneeling on the ground.

"I beg my lord to let us go!"

"My lord, we are nothing but merchants in business, I hope you will spare me!"

The men in rough clothes looked at so many people holding torches and sharp swords around them, and all of them were so scared that they wet their pants, afraid that they would be killed later.

"It's not Qin general Bai Yan!"

Looking at Bu Nei's portrait, the leading man had a vague premonition after confirming that none of these people was Qin Jiang Bai Yan.

"Bring that boy here!"

The man turned his head and ordered.

But at this moment, there is no room for thinking too much. Looking at Xiao She in front of him, the man's expression is full of dignity.

"No one is allowed to leave this small house!"

The man ordered.

Upon hearing the man's order, the rest of the men in black clasped their hands to accept the order, turned around and rushed into the small house, and the movement that had disappeared not long ago was heard again in an instant.

This time, there were not only men's scared voices, but also some women's screams.

The man handed the cloth with the portrait to the cronies beside him and asked him to go up and inspect it.

At this time, the young man who opened the door for them was also brought to him by the man in black. When asked whether the person he saw today was the man kneeling on the ground in front of him, the young man glanced at him, then froze for a while, and slowly Shake your head slowly.

The boy was also confused at the moment.

Before sunset, he obviously saw those people living in those small houses, why did he suddenly become these people in the middle of the night.

"Who let you live in the small house?"

Seeing this, the leading man turned his head to look at the captured man kneeling on the ground,

"My lord, we don't know that person either. The person gave us some money and told us to stay here overnight, but he didn't say anything else."

"Yes! My lord! We don't know that person either!"

When the men heard the inquiry, they scrambled to explain one by one, wanting to separate the relationship.

However, they haven't waited for their words to fall.

After the man learned what had happened, he could no longer control the hostility in his eyes, and motioned the people around him to do it.

In an instant.

Following the gesture of the leading man, men in black rushed forward with sharp knives in their hands, and screams rang out one after another. In an instant, all the men became corpses and fell in a pool of blood.

This scene made the little servant feel terrified.

"Leave no one alive, burn this place!"

The leading man looked at the small house in front of him, and was convinced that the Qin general Bai Yan had left, but when he glanced around and failed to see the ambush, the man heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, the man realized that this was definitely not a leak of news, or there was an insider. Ghost, but Qin general Bai Yan is too cunning.

"My lord, I promised earlier."

Seeing that the man was about to leave, the servant of the Xiaoshe thought of the glory and wealth that the man had promised him before, so he bit the bullet and smiled embarrassingly.

However, as the man glanced at him, the boy was taken aback by that look. Before the boy could react, he suddenly felt a tearing pain coming from his back, and then slowly fell to the ground.

"Throw it in and burn it together!"

The man looked at the boy's body with impatience in his eyes, he dared to offer a reward even though he couldn't find him.

In the middle of the night.

With the blazing flames of Xiaoshe, all the gate guards of Yangxia City were attracted to them in an instant. Not long after, there were shouts on the quiet street just now, and Qin soldiers rushed to put out the fire. They were awakened one after another and stood on the street watching.

Not long after, Yangxia city guards, city captains and other Qin officials, surrounded by Qin officials, came to Xiaoshe.

"what happened?"

Bao Xian, the guard of Yangxia City, looked at the fire in the small house, and asked the Qin soldiers who came and went to put out the fire full of doubts.

However, Qin Zu didn't know what was going on.

At this time, Cheng Wei Qi Li suddenly called Bao Xian over.

Bao Xian looked at the burning hut, thought for a while, but still risked himself, he raised his sleeve robe to block the thick flames, and came to Qi Li's side.

"Look!"

Under Bao Xian's puzzled eyes, Qi Li pointed to the blood on the ground.

Seeing this, Bao Xian shrank his pupils.

"Has anyone escaped from the fire?"

When Bao Xian realized that this was a murder case, he quickly turned his head and asked Qin Zu and Qin officials around him, wanting to know if anyone had escaped from the small house.

However, when the people around heard Bao Xian's words, they looked at each other and fell silent.

Bao Xian and Qi Li looked at those Qin officials, and then at the common people who were watching from a distance. Suddenly they looked at each other, and a thought that made them full of cold sweat slowly emerged.

No one will survive, right?

Could it be that there is no one alive!

Who is it that can unknowingly send so many killers into the city, and who is it that can let this force use so many killers to assassinate?Is the assassinated person dead or alive at this time?

One by one doubts surfaced in the minds of Bao Xian and Qi Li.

The next day.

As the news of Xiaoshe's fire spread quickly, not to mention the not-so-serious Qin official telling the murder case, even if so many charred bodies were found after the fire, they couldn't hide it at all.

After dawn, pedestrians on the street were talking about it everywhere.

And next to a small shop in the north, Bai Yan, Bao Yu, and Mang were in a corner next to the shop, drinking water and eating unpalatable cornbread.

"When did you get the message?"

Bao Yu looked at Bai Yan curiously.

Hearing the people's discussion in the distance, Bao Yu couldn't help but be thankful that he listened to Bai Yan and secretly left the small house ahead of time to find some losers in the casino. Bai Yan has never received any news.

Following Bao Yu's words, Mang Mang on the side also looked at Bai Yan suspiciously, since the general knew that someone would be assassinated last night, why didn't he let those soldiers ambush in advance.

"Uncle Yu, Bai Yan actually didn't know that someone would commit murder last night, let alone any news."

Bai Yan swallowed the coarse millet cake, smacked his lips to clean the food left in his mouth, and shook his head at Bao Yu.

"Three nests of cunning rabbits, now going south, it's always right to be careful. Yesterday, Bai Yan kept an eye out, and never thought that he would just escape the catastrophe."

Bai Yan explained.

After hearing Bai Yan's words, Bao Yu was full of surprise, took a light bite of the millet cake, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"There are not many people who know that Ru Nan is going to the south, even if there are not many people in the court of Qin Dynasty, but if we have just arrived in Yangxia and settled down, we will know where we are staying."

Bao Yu showed a thoughtful face, and then looked at Bai Yan with a serious expression.

"I'm afraid that in the court of Qin State and in the army led by Wang Ben, there are secret agents of Chu State!"

After Bao Yu finished speaking, his breathing became slightly rapid, and there was some worry between his brows.

Bao Yu knew that from the moment Bai Yan received the order from Ying Zheng to go south, to the assassins who came to assassinate him in the middle of the night, no matter whether it was the court of the Qin State or the camp of the Qin Army, it would be difficult to do it without any steps.

"General, do you want to inherit Xianyang and inform the king of this matter, I believe the king will be able to find out thoroughly!"

Hearing Bao Yu's analysis, Mang immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, so he looked around and asked cautiously.

Bai Yan suddenly laughed when he heard what Mang said, and looked at Mang.

"Why didn't there be ghosts in Shanwu City, why didn't we accidentally leak the news!"

Bai Yan asked.

Mang quickly shook his head.

"How is this possible? The general was careful all the way, and no one knew about it."

Meng denied that all the way south, he knew how concealed their whereabouts were. All identities were false, but they were well documented.

Unlike Mang, after hearing Bai Yan's words, Bao Yu fell silent.

Bao Yu knew that Bai Yan's words were correct. Although Ying Zheng was furious when this matter was brought to Xianyang, it was impossible for him to doubt all the ministers who knew about it. avoid.

Not to mention who can guarantee whether it was Bai Yan's carelessness, or Shan Wucheng's meticulous work, or even a coincidence, the news of Bai Yan's going south has just leaked out.

The only thing that is certain is that there is no meticulous work in the Qin army's camp.

And there is no need for Bai Yan to speak about this matter. What happened to Xiaoshe yesterday must have caused the general Gao Ze sent by Wang Ben to break out in a cold sweat. I am afraid that Gao Ze had ordered someone to bring the news to Wang Ben overnight. .

"Yang Xia can't stay any longer!"

Bao Yu knew that the assassination last night was not successful, so those people will definitely look for Bai Yan everywhere, looking for opportunities to attack, and the soldiers brought by Gao Ze can no longer be easily trusted, and no one knows whether the secret work is on the way. Among those 500 people.

"It's better to quietly go to the Qin army's camp as soon as possible and join Wang Ben."

Bao Yu looked at Bai Yan, Yangxia and the surrounding cities must be unsafe, and he must leave as soon as possible.

Under Bao Yu's gaze, Bai Yan shook his head.

"No, if Bai Yan goes to Daying, Chu State and Xianyang will work carefully, then there will be no more scruples. The only way to keep them hidden is to let the generals of Chu State not find them, so that they will be afraid."

Bai Yan said.

Thinking of Lord Changping's sudden rebellion later on, Li Xin and Meng Tian almost died in the territory of Chu State. Bai Yan will never go to Wang Ben's place right now. The soldiers under Wang Ben's command are all taken over from Lord Changping Many of the generals who came over were the confidantes of Lord Chang Wen.

Once he goes somewhere, if Mr. Changping really wants to do something, the consequences will be disastrous.

Judging from what happened last night, Bai Yan has confirmed that it was Chang Wenjun who sent the news to Chu State.

"Uncle Yu!"

Bai Yan thought for a while, then looked at Bao Yu.

"Uncle Yu still has old friends in Chu State, and if the matter is settled, as well as Ruo Ao's family, I will trouble Uncle Yu to work hard."

Bai Yan looked at Bao Yu.

Zhao Qiu said that Ruo Ao's family still has power hidden in Chu State, Zhao Qiu would not lie to him, and he would find it no matter what.

Now that Qin and Chu are at war, Bai Yan has to put all his energy on the side of Chu, and he can only leave it to Bao Yu to find Cheng Ding and Ruo Ao's clan, besides, Bao Yu has more friends in Chu than him. , the chance of finding it will be greater than him.

"Don't worry! Once it's settled, let me find it!"

When Bao Yu heard Bai Yan's words, he nodded and did not refuse.

"But now, now that the state of Chu knows you are coming, it will definitely send a large number of spies to search secretly. If you don't go to the Qin army's camp, you will be in a very dangerous situation."

Bao Yu looked at Bai Yan.

Compared with going to Chu to find Cheng Ding, Bao Yu was still more worried about Bai Yan's safety. In fact, in Bao Yu's eyes, the safest place to look around for Chu was Wang Ben's Qin army camp.

"Don't worry, I have a solution!"

Bai Yan told Bao Yu not to worry.

Had breakfast.

Bai Yan separated from Bao Yu, and Mang went to inform Gao Ze to find the city guard of Yangxia City and ordered the gates to be opened, allowing the common people and merchants to enter and leave the city as before.

Two days later.

Mang came to Bai Yan's side, watching Bai Yan by the window, fiddling with stones one by one.

"General, Master Yu has left Yang Xia!"

Mang said to Bai Yan.

Looking at Bai Yan, Mang didn't know what to do at the moment, the turmoil in the small house in the city was not over, and there might be danger everywhere in the seemingly lively streets.

And if it is true as Bao Yu said, I am afraid that other cities also have the eyeliner of Chu State.

Where the Qin army is, before General Wang Ben thoroughly investigates, the general must not easily reveal his whereabouts.

"Then we're ready to go!"

Bai Yan heard Mang's words and looked at the stone in front of him.

The Qin army of Changping Jun, Chang Wenjun, Xianyang, and Wang Ben, the number of Chu troops, and the Qianzhong Camp led by Mengwu in Qianzhong County
Looking back on what I heard in Yangxia City in the past two days, it seems that Xiang Yan, Jing Qi and the others all wanted to catch him when they learned that he was going south.
"General, where are we going?"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Mang was a little puzzled.

"Shouchun!"

Bai Yan said.

Mang nodded, but before he could react, when he thought of the city that Shouchun was in his mind, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Bai Yan with a dull expression, wondering if he had heard it wrong just now.
