The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

The night was like a heavy black cloth, pressing down heavily on the earth, and the solemn and murderous atmosphere in the air made the night seem extremely depressing.

Thousands of soldiers surrounded the inn tightly, and the situation was like an iron barrel, completely airtight.

Countless torches were held high, and the flames danced violently in the night wind, licking the surrounding air madly and illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day.

Under the dazzling light, the soldiers' stern faces were exposed, and the swords and spears in their hands flashed coldly under the firelight. The crossbows had already been strung, and the strong bows and crossbows were uniformly aimed at the doors and windows of the inn, waiting for the order to pounce on the prey.

At the same time, hundreds of vagrants and police officers violently drove away the nearby residents.

"Break the door!"

After listening to the innkeeper's explanation, Zhao Tuo cursed inwardly and then waved his hand. Dozens of heavily armored guards behind him rushed towards the inn's door like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

At this moment, with a "creak", the inn's originally tightly closed door slowly opened.

A figure appeared in everyone's sight. After seeing the situation clearly, the originally surging momentum of the armored guards froze instantly. They all widened their eyes, and their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. They did not dare to move at all, and all turned to look at Zhao Tuo.

Yi Huawei grabbed Zhao Guang's neck with one hand like a pair of pliers and lifted him in front of him.

Zhao Guang's face turned red due to lack of oxygen, veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes were wide open, full of fear and anger. He struggled desperately with all his strength, waving his hands non-stop, trying to pry open Yi Huawei's iron hands, and kicking his legs wildly in the air, but all his struggles were in vain in Yi Huawei's hands.

"You bold thief...Prime Minister Zhao...Prime Minister Zhao??!"

When Zhao Tuo saw Yi Huawei's face clearly, his original angry expression instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a face full of astonishment. His lips trembled slightly, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

At this moment, he realized that things might be heading completely out of control.

Zhao Tuo tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and tried to regain control of the situation. He quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, his eyes moved back and forth between Yi Huawei and Zhao Guang, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He knew that he couldn't act rashly, otherwise the whole situation might become irreversible, but he couldn't just give up like that. After all, he had come this far, and the ambition that had been hidden in his heart for a long time would not allow him to retreat easily.

When the guards and soldiers heard Zhao Tuo address Yi Huawei, they were stunned at first, as if their movements were suddenly paused. They looked at each other, their eyes intertwined with confusion, surprise and uneasiness. These emotions were clearly displayed on their faces, their lips unconsciously opened slightly, and their eyes moved back and forth between Zhao Tuo and Yi Huawei, trying to find the answer from their expressions.

The Qin Dynasty now has three prime ministers: Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Feng Jie. Among these three, Zhao Gao is the most famous. Even if these soldiers in the remote Nanhai County have never seen Zhao Gao in person, they have more or less heard of his deeds.

At this moment, they were full of confusion. This sudden situation was completely beyond their understanding. What was going on? Why was the Prime Minister here? And he was confronting the county lieutenant? Soon, the army began to riot.

Yi Huawei stood at the door with a stern look, his eyes were like lightning, and he swept coldly over everyone present. Wherever his eyes went, the soldiers lowered their heads unconsciously, not daring to look at him. Although he didn't speak, his powerful aura was like an invisible mountain, weighing heavily on everyone's heart, making everyone present feel short of breath.

The air around them seemed frozen, and the silence was frightening. Only the crackling sound of burning torches echoed monotonously in the night sky, and that sound was particularly clear in this depressing atmosphere.

Hearing the commotion of his soldiers, Zhao Tuo knew that he could not go on like this. With a glance of his fierce eyes, his years of prestige made these soldiers quickly quiet down.

Turning to look at Yi Huawei, Zhao Tuo was the first to break the silence. He cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound more steady, and said vaguely:

"What is your intention, Prime Minister? Why did you hold my brother hostage? And why did you beat him up like this?"

After saying that, he stared at Yi Huawei closely.

Yi Huawei sneered: "Zhao Tuo, don't pretend to be confused in front of me. Are you really unaware of the crimes your brother committed here? Or are you the one behind all this?"

Zhao Tuo's face changed, and his originally calm face suddenly became a little flustered. He hurriedly said: "There must be a misunderstanding. Although my brother is a little reckless, he would never dare to do anything illegal. Someone must be framing him. Please let him go, Prime Minister. I will find out the truth and give you an explanation."

Yi Huawei frowned slightly and shouted, "Zhao Tuo, do you really think that what you did in Nanhai County can be hidden from my eyes? You have your own troops and secretly planned something illegal. Do you have any intention of being disloyal?"

Zhao Tuo was shocked, but still pretended to be calm. He cupped his hands, his movements were a little stiff, and said: "Prime Minister, you are slandering me. I am loyal to the Qin Dynasty and have no other intentions."

Yi Huawei snorted coldly and said, "Loyalty? How did Captain Yang and Captain Wei die?"

As he spoke, his voice rose a few degrees and he looked at Zhao Tuo with dignity.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister has misunderstood. They both suffered from the unfamiliar climate and illness. A doctor can testify for me!"

Zhao Tuo looked at Yi Huawei with a flickering look in his eyes. He didn't know how much of his plan had been seen through by Yi Huawei, but at the moment he was in a dilemma. If he continued to be tough, Yi Huawei might be detrimental to Zhao Guang, and even if he wanted to get rid of Yi Huawei, he was not sure that he could block the matter. Once the news leaked, the consequences would be disastrous. But if he compromised, his plans for many years would be ruined, and he was really unwilling to accept that.

Just as Zhao Tuo was riding on his horse, frowning, his eyes flickering, and hesitating, Yi Huawei spoke again, his voice like a loud bell:
"Zhao Tuo, order them to disband on the spot, lay down their weapons, and follow me back to Xianyang. Perhaps this will save your life and your brother's. Otherwise, you should know the harshness of the laws of the Qin Dynasty."

After a pause, Yi Huawei's eyes became as cold as ice knives, and his voice became even colder: "There are five virtues of an official, and I have not seen any of them in you two brothers. However, the five faults of an official are fully demonstrated in you. I have seen them all clearly. How dare you quibble?!

Zhao Guang was arrogant and indulgent, spending his days in debauchery. He never paid attention to the orders from his superiors and the needs of the people. He made arbitrary decisions and acted arbitrarily. He was arrogant and disrespectful to his superiors. He treated people with contempt and valued goods. He was arrogant and dissatisfied with his job. He took advantage of his position to plunder the people. He did not obey orders, and was only concerned about his own interests. He had long forgotten the court and the people.

You are nepotism, you don't know how to employ people, you don't do the right things, you do a terrible job for the people, you make them angry, and you still dare to use sweet words, why don't you just dismount and surrender? ! ! "

Zhao Tuo was startled and subconsciously tightened the reins. He looked around in panic, and when he saw his soldiers, his tense heart regained some confidence. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Prime Minister Zhao, the right and wrong will be judged by the public. Even if my brother made some minor mistakes, it is not your turn to punish him! So what if you are the Prime Minister? I have the final say here. If you don't let him go, today will be the day you die."

Zhao Tuo stared at Yi Huawei intently, his eyes revealed a hint of determination. At worst, he would kill all the soldiers present, leaving no evidence. He didn't believe that Hu Hai would do anything to him without solid evidence. Moreover, as long as Zhao Gao died, he believed that Li Si would definitely protect him. Thinking of this, the evil thoughts in his heart grew like weeds.

"Hahahaha~~"

Yi Huawei looked at the soldiers around him without any fear. He raised his head and laughed: "Just you guys? You are not qualified to kill me."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised the tied Zhao Guang a little higher and put him in front of him. Seeing this, the crossbowmen were afraid to attack rashly, and the crossbow arrows that had been aimed at them also shook slightly.

"Listen! I am Zhao Gao, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty! Put down your weapons immediately!"

Yi Huawei looked around, his eyes swept over every soldier with dignity, then he took out the tiger talisman from his arms and held it high. The tiger talisman shone with dazzling golden light under the reflection of the torch, and the patterns on it were clearly visible. When the surrounding soldiers saw it, they froze, their eyes filled with awe, and the weapons in their hands unconsciously dropped a little.

"If you dare to step forward, you will be guilty of treason and your entire clan will be implicated! The laws of the Qin Empire are strict, so don't be deceived by Zhao Tuo. You are all citizens of the Qin Empire. Do you want to destroy your own lives and the lives of your families for a traitor?"

Hesitation began to emerge in the eyes of the soldiers, and their steps became slow. They looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to the captain who was leading the team.

Seeing this, Zhao Tuo was immediately anxious, his brows knitted tightly together, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "Prime Minister Zhao, if you let my brother go today, I, Zhao Tuo, will remember this kindness. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

As he spoke, he swung his arm violently, and the movement was fierce. The crossbowmen received the order and quickly raised their crossbows again, their movements neatly and mechanically, and the cold arrows were all aimed at Yi Huawei. Their eyes were focused and cold, their fingers were tightly gripping the trigger, and they would release the arrows at the command.

Zhao Tuo secretly felt lucky that the captains were all his trusted aides and that they had not brought all the troops with them this time. Otherwise, Yi Huawei might have directly dismissed him from his military power. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still stared at Yi Huawei with vigilance.

"Haha, you are so stubborn!"

Yi Huawei's mouth corners slightly raised, he pulled up his sleeves to look at his watch, smiled, and said: "Zhao Tuo, you are seeking your own death now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint thunder sounded in the distance. The sound was low and dull, as if it came from deep in the earth. Zhao Tuo was startled and subconsciously looked up. He saw huge sparks exploding everywhere in the sky. Red and green lights flashed in the night sky, illuminating the dark sky like daylight. The moment the sparks exploded, the light was blinding.

Looking at this scene, the soldiers widened their eyes and were somewhat at a loss.

Zhao Tuo had an ominous premonition in his heart. He stared at Yi Huawei and said angrily, "What is this? Did you make this?"

“This is called a flare!”

Yi Huawei smiled slightly, his expression indifferent.

"boom…"

There was a faint vibration coming from the ground, and the feeling became stronger and stronger, as if thousands of troops were galloping towards this place. The sound of horse hooves and footsteps intertwined, rushing towards everyone like a surging tide.

As a general who had led troops for many years, Zhao Tuo was no stranger to this commotion. A terrible guess emerged in his mind, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Why do you think I dare to come here alone? The South Sea Legion has been taken over by my people. Zhao Tuo, just surrender!"

Yi Huawei's voice was still clearly audible in the noisy environment. He stood tall and straight, exuding an irresistible majesty.

Looking at Yi Huawei, veins on Zhao Tuo's forehead bulged, and his eyes became red with anger. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Catch him, only by catching him can we survive! Go!"

At this moment, he no longer cared about Zhao Guang's life. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to catch Yi Huawei and try to find a chance of survival.

Yi Huawei's eyes flashed, and he exerted force with both hands, throwing Zhao Guang's body towards the soldiers' long spears.

“Ah?~~Brother, save me!!”

Zhao Guang screamed, and his heavy body drew an arc in the night sky, crashing directly into the gleaming spears. The spears shook slightly under the impact, and some were even shaken out of his hands, and Zhao Guang's body was instantly pierced by the spear blades...

Ten meters away, in the blink of an eye, Zhao Tuo's mind seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, his eyes widened, his face full of horror and disbelief. Before he could recover from the shock of his brother's tragic death, Yi Huawei's figure had approached like a ghost, and in an instant he came in front of him and lifted him off the horse.

It was indeed like lifting a rag doll. Although Zhao Tuo was a veteran and strong, he had no power to resist Yi Huawei.

Yi Huawei's big hands were like iron clamps, precisely and powerfully pinching Zhao Tuo's neck. The strength in his hands was so great that Zhao Tuo felt difficulty breathing and his throat felt like it was burned by fire.

Yi Huawei laughed: "Why do you think I dare to come here alone? If I wasn't absolutely sure, why would I fall into the trap?"

Zhao Tuo's face turned purple, and he subconsciously tried to pry Yi Huawei's hands apart with his hands, and kicked wildly with his feet, trying to break free from this fatal restraint. His eyes became red due to congestion, and his eyes were filled with fear of death and resentment towards Yi Huawei.

The soldiers around were stunned by this sudden scene, not knowing what to do with their weapons. The crossbowmen still pointed their arrows forward, but now they were confused and didn't know whether to release the arrows or wait for orders.

Yi Huawei glanced at the soldiers around him and shouted, "Listen to me! The evidence is solid that the Zhao Tuo brothers are plotting treason. Lay down your weapons and surrender, and you may be able to save your life. If you continue to be stubborn, you will end up like them!"

At this time, the sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the earth was shaking slightly.

The dark army swept towards this side like a surging tide.

The last glimmer of hope in Zhao Tuo's heart was shattered. He knew he had completely lost, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. (End of this chapter)
