The Worldly Serpent: Since Qin Mo was beheaded

Chapter 23
The conversation was divided into two parts. After the officers and soldiers were scared by Lu Li and fled to the Dangshan Pavilion, these officers and soldiers finally settled down under the comfort of the soldiers.

"Officer Guo Guo, did the terrifying snake fairy Bai Dizi come after him?"

Riding a horse and galloping all the way, Xue Zhong, the mayor of Dang County, was a little overwhelmed.

Panting for breath, he looked around in shock and finally shouted at Guo Ming.

"No! My lord, Bai Dizi will not chase me in the future."

Guo Ming was also a little shocked, so he let out a long sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good."

Dang County Magistrate Xue Zhong felt at ease after hearing the words, but soon he looked left and right, and suddenly said in doubt:

"Huh? Master Guo, where is your clan brother Guo Bei?"

Guo Ming smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

"My lord, my clan brother is so dazed that he wants to ask for the immortal capital. He didn't leave no matter how much I called him during the chaos before. I'm afraid it's more ominous now!"

"Ah! Is he still at the foot of the fairy mountain?"

"I think so, but maybe he's already offended because we rashly offended the White Emperor."

Guo Ming didn't say anything later, but Xue Zhong already understood.

Xue Zhong fell into deep thought when he heard the words.

His expression was hesitant, and he said after a long moment: "Master Guo, do you think that the White Emperor is really the White Emperor who represents my Great Qin's destiny?"

Guo Ming was a little surprised when he heard this, and then hesitantly said:
"I can't say now, but I think it's best."

"Preferably?"

Xue Zhong understood what Guo Ming said.

His eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and he finally patted his thigh, and then turned to the soldiers with an angry look and said:
"It must be because of the snake body that Liu Ji of Surabaya beheaded Emperor Bai before he came into the world, that made Emperor Bai hate all our Qin officials!"

"As a citizen of Shaohao, but unable to protect the incarnation of Emperor Bai, this is our official Qin's dereliction of duty!"

"Damn! I only hate that the county guard is old and weak and can't take Liu Ji's head in Surabaya in person. Otherwise, he must use his head to worship Baidizi, hoping that Baidizi will forgive us."

"Generals, is there any warrior who is willing to take the head of Liu Ji in Surabaya for me?"

"You know, that Liu Ji of Surabaya is the murderous enemy of the son of Haotian. As long as you take the head of Liu Ji of Surabaya, you can get immortality and wealth at your fingertips!"

In the Qin Dynasty, a county guard with a salary of two thousand shi could not leave the county at will, let alone send troops across borders.

If the county guard wanted to lead troops out of the border, he had to get an order from the court.

For this reason, Xue Zhong naturally meant to find someone to assassinate Liu Bang.

The surrounding soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking of the fairy before, that Baidizi, although scary, but looking back, it was almost certain that he was a fairy.

Therefore, among the group of people, three people stood out very quickly.

"My lord, I'm waiting to go!"

"Okay! As expected of me, Dangjun Erlang! You should have this kind of courage!"

"Officer Guo! Choose dozens of elite soldiers with these three warriors, let them disguise themselves together, and set off as soon as possible!"

"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. The head of Liu Ji in Surabaya must be brought back before the La Festival. Can you hear me clearly?"

"My lord, let me hear you clearly!"

"Okay! Go down and prepare your bags! The sheriff is here to wait for your warriors to return in triumph!"

Xue Zhong also suddenly became vigorous and resolute in this matter, and it is conceivable that he also has an inexplicable enthusiasm for Xian Ta.

Chief official Guo Ming already understood Xue Zhong's thoughts on this matter, so he didn't hesitate to make arrangements with these people.

And when Guo Ming went down to make arrangements, Zhao Yu, the censor who had disappeared for a while, appeared.

This Zhao Yu was so frightened by Emperor Bai that he lost control, and even fell to the ground when he was running away, he was extremely embarrassed.

But it's okay to change your outfit at this time.

It's just that he came to look for Xue Zhong obviously not because of the matter of the former Emperor Bai.

"Master Xue, hurry up and report. Chen Sheng's rebel army has already attacked Chen County, the prefecture of Huaiyang County, after taking Qiao County. I am afraid that these rebels have already surrounded Chen County!!!"

"Master Xue, I'm afraid we have to make early plans now!"

"Once these thieves take Chen County down, they can go straight to the pass!!!"

Zhao Yu's complexion at this moment was the same as the one he had been frightened by the Bai Dizi before.

Not only the eunuch Zhao Yu was frightened, but Xue Zhong himself was also frightened.

"How is it possible? How dare these bandits?"

Xue Zhong's complexion turned pale immediately, and he was still muttering while pacing:
"Huaiyang County shouldn't lose Chen County so quickly, right?"

"No, the bandit army now has at least one or two thousand chariots and fifty to sixty thousand infantry. If we gather some rebellious remnants of the Six Kingdoms along the way, the army will surely exceed one hundred thousand~"

"Once the [-] troops arrive, there is no chance of winning with the strength of Huaiyang County!"

"Haotian, my Lord! What are your Majesty and the court doing? Why hasn't there been any order to gather troops? Even if the court is worried about the gathering of troops in various counties, it should gather some troops from Xianyang to suppress this bandit army, right?"

"Why can the situation be so rotten!"

Xue Zhong looked extremely distressed.

"Master Xue! Now is not the time for you to talk about these things. The situation has deteriorated since then. We must recruit troops from other counties as soon as possible!"

"If the thieves take down Huaiyang County, I'm afraid they will make a comeback at that time, not to mention we have the White Emperor here!"

The censor Shi Zhao Yu looked very anxious.

"That's right! We have the Emperor Bai here!"

The speaker has no intention but the listener does.

Xue Zhong suddenly burst into laughter as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Master Zhao, you can really wake up the dreamer with one word. The old man will order someone to send a message to Xianyang, and the news here will be delivered to Xianyang as soon as possible!"

"In addition, this is not enough. We must immediately spread the news of the birth of Emperor Bai in Mangdang Mountain. It is best to let Chen Sheng's bandit army know all about it as soon as possible."

Eunuch Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment.

Then he seemed a little puzzled and said, "Master Xue, what do you mean?"

Seeing the eunuch Zhao Yu's stupid look, Xue Zhong suppressed the sarcasm in his heart, and immediately explained:
"Your Majesty and the court do not allow the counties to gather troops, and may even block the news, is it just because they are afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble?"

"But if the news about Emperor Bai spread to Xianyang, Mr. Zhao, do you think His Majesty and the others can sit still?"

"As long as His Majesty gathers his troops, there is still a great possibility that this bandit army will be defeated, and it will also deal a major blow to the ambitious people in Zhuxia land."

"Also, even if Xianyang is still unmoved, can the bandit army remain unmoved after knowing about Emperor Bai? As long as they dare to come, hehe~ Not to mention the anger of Emperor Bai, we can count as buying the last time for me, Great Qin Guozuo."

"So, Master Zhao understand now?"

When the eunuch Zhao Yu heard the words, he frowned immediately.

Although he is not very smart, he understands a truth, that is, the power of immortals is mysterious and unpredictable.

"Lord Xue, let's not talk about the matter of sacrificing to Emperor Bai that we said before. Are you not afraid of being seen through by gods if you use Emperor Bai like this?"

"You are not afraid of being hated by the gods, I am afraid, I will not stop you if you want to do this, but don't count me in, I will not do this with you."

Zhao Yu had already seen immortals. As an eunuch, although he was not knowledgeable, he was superstitious. Because of this, he was so frightened before, and he immediately drew a line with Xue Zhong.

Hearing this, Xue Zhong hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed deeply.

"Okay, let this matter be done by the old man alone. For the sake of Daqin and His Majesty, there is only so much I can do, and I will leave it to God~"
