Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 340 Scandal?

As Wang Ye spoke, he stroked his beard over and over again, looking very satisfied with the fact that he had successfully intercepted the target.

It all looks perfect.

"But... wasn't it certain that Chang'an Jun was defeated and died two years ago? How could he still appear..." Meng Tian couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, and his voice was trembling.

He subconsciously wanted to question, but Wang Ye was not surprised by his reaction and immediately gave a convincing answer.

"The leader, Mr. Shang, has Chenglong's jasper ring on his hand."

"That thing was given to me by the late King Zhuang Xiang. I believe you can recognize it. When the time is right, you will be able to see it when you see him."

"This..." Meng Tian was speechless for a moment.

As evidenced by Jasper's fingers, it is indeed closely related to Chenglong.

However, there is still a problem:
  "Chang'an Jun has been dead for two years, and now his remnants suddenly appear, what can they do?"

"Ha!" When Wang Ye heard this, a sneer with contempt appeared on his face, "Last night, one of my soldiers used my name, stole my seal, and sent a secret letter."

Meng Tian frowned, "Borrowing? Stealing? Even your personal soldiers can't..."

Wang Ye didn't wait for Meng Tian to finish speaking and replied first:

"Yes, but he is one of my most trusted subordinates. He can find opportunities that others cannot do. I didn't deliberately guard against him."

"The remnants of Lord Chang'an don't have much power themselves. After all, Lord Chang'an has been dead for two years, but...his identity is a big problem. Too many people will take this opportunity to target the king."

Wang Ye then said meaningfully, and then asked Meng Tian:
  "Do you know where that secret letter was sent? To whom it was sent?"

Meng Tian naturally didn't know, but he had some guesses in his heart, and Wang Ye's self-answer also confirmed his guesses.

"Sent to Yongcheng, for the Queen Mother... Fortunately, I intercepted the letter in time."

Wang Ye's tone was somewhat emotional, as if he was lamenting the fratricide and disharmony between brothers in the royal family.

But Meng Tian's eyes were wandering at this moment, and his thoughts were flowing in his heart.

He was wondering if the words of the person who was suspected of being a member of Cheng Yu's party were emphasizing to him the incident that Cheng Yu had publicized back then - that the royal government was not the work of King Zhuang Xiang.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that something was wrong. If that was the meaning, then the other party should not have deliberately emphasized that Chenglong is dead.

‘There is only one young master’… now it sounds like it is referring to the current king…

Wang Ye didn't pay attention to Meng Tian, ​​who looked solemn and distracted. He said such a secret and explosive... It can be said to be a scandal. It's normal for Meng Tian to have thoughts in his heart. He continued to say:

"This matter involves a royal scandal. You should also know how sensitive the issue is, so I have been trying my best to cover it up, trying to solve the problem of 'Mr. Shang' and others with the smallest possible noise, and calm the turmoil in advance."

"I wonder where the general's soldier is now?" Meng Tian temporarily suppressed the growing number of questions and confusion in his mind, and tried to focus on Wang Ye's words, trying to find out whether the other party was lying.

"I have secretly detained him. If you want to torture him, I can ask someone to take you there later." Wang Ye looked calm, not worried that Meng Tian would ask any different excuses.

That person was his confidant, so he had naturally made arrangements long ago. Even if Meng Tian threatened his life, he would not reveal the slightest truth.

When Meng Tian heard this, he temporarily believed Wang Ye. So far, there is no problem with the other party's statement. The king's secret letter is absolutely true. Although other supporting evidence has not been revealed one by one, it is easy to verify and cannot deceive anyone.

So Meng Tian immediately knelt down, saluted and apologized:
  "The general has good intentions and has no conspiracy... My subordinate Meng Lang, please punish the general."

Wang Ye raised his hand and said with a smile, "As I said before, you are Meng Wu's son. It's not a big deal to know this kind of secret. Of course, you must not leak it to anyone."

"I understand." After Meng Tian responded, he stood up and asked, "General, how should we deal with this group of people next?"

Wang Ye stroked his beard, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "I'm also thinking about it now."

"This matter has attracted the attention of many people. At this time, I am afraid that there are many spies in the army..." Speaking of this, Wang Yan sighed in a mocking manner, "Alas... even my closest soldiers are others. The hidden child..."

"... When dealing with the 'Shang Gongzi' group, we must be as hidden as possible. Once there is a big commotion, I'm afraid the entire Pingyang Heavy Armor Army will be affected!"

"Gai Nie?" Meng Tian saw Wang Yan looking like he was in trouble, and the first thing that flashed in his mind was the chief swordsmanship instructor of King Qin.

A dark wave flashed in Wang Yan's eyes, and he was not surprised that Meng Tian knew about Gai Nie's existence - the soldiers below had reported to him that Meng Tian had tried to break into Mr. Shang's camp before, but Gai Nie showed up and forced him away.

This made Wang Ye feel both nervous and relieved at the same time.

He was worried that Meng Tian would notice something was wrong, but at the same time he felt a little reassured by Gai Nie's performance, which meant that Ying Zheng seemed to be inclined to believe in himself and was not completely led to doubt himself by Gu Xun.

"It seems that you have already met the Guigu Zongjian."

"As the king's chief swordsmanship instructor, how could he choose to betray?" Meng Tian asked immediately.

"Humph, he is a disciple of Guigu. When he is angry, the princes are afraid, and when he lives in peace, the world will be destroyed... Are there any people in the political family who can keep their own rules?" Wang Ye tried to explain, pretending not to be surprised.

Seeing that Meng Tian didn't ask any more questions, Wang Ye then added:
  "Not only Gai Nie, but also the person you met before."

"Oh, what's the problem with that person?" Meng Tian asked, pretending not to know.

"Like Gai Nie, he is the top master in the world. With the two of them here, even if hundreds of soldiers are besieging him, they can protect the 'Master Shang' safely." Wang Ye said about the situation he is facing now The problem lies.

"Once we can't win over 'Shang Gongzi' in a short period of time, the commotion will become louder, and it will not end well."

"In this case, it is better to find a way to separate them and defeat them one by one." Meng Tian gave a more reasonable solution.

"I think so too, but I'm afraid the other party doesn't trust us enough to separate easily." Wang Ye has obviously considered this method for a long time and has a relatively clear case about it. "We need another one." Only people can implement it concretely.”

"Envoy Mr. Li Si?" Meng Tian made a guess about the candidate mentioned by Wang Yan.

In fact, it can be regarded as a certainty, because there are no other possible candidates.

Wang Ye gave an affirmative answer as he expected, nodded slowly and said, "That's right."

　The plot of Qin Shi really leaves people speechless sometimes.

　　Why did Cheng Yu want to find Queen Mother Zhao? He and Ying Zheng are TM half-brothers, and Zhao Ji has a close relationship with him.
