Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 836 Fusu arrives

The wheel of history does not depend on anyone's will. Although Fusu has always been concerned about his uncle's affairs, his frame is still approaching the land of Chen Ying day by day.

The battle situation of the Qin army on the front line was all going well.

Due to the internal power struggle in Chu State, it was slow to respond to Qin's invasion.

Li Xinjun marched hurriedly and successfully captured Pingyu City in just a few days.

Meng Tian's army's offensive against Xixian was also overwhelming, and the Chu army was unable to gather together to form an effective counterattack.

By the time Fusu arrived at Chenying, the old capital of Chu State, Li Xin had already led the main army to the east, intending to join forces with Meng Tian's troops to defeat the army led by Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State and Lord Wu'an.

Once Xiang Yan is defeated, the Qin army can directly attack Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and destroy Chu in just a moment.

Outside Chenying County, Chenying officials, led by the brothers Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, and Xiong Dian, Lord of Changwen, have been waiting in line for Fusu's carriage for a long time.

When Mr. Fusu's carriage arrived, the Xiong Qi brothers immediately led the officials to greet him.

"I, my ministers, would like to welcome the eldest son to you."

Accompanied by the greetings of Xiong Qi and other officials, Fusu Shi Shiran stepped out of the carriage.

Although he was thinking a lot when he looked at Xiong Qi, his face remained calm and composed. He nodded gently and waved his hands, saying, "You are so polite, gentlemen."

"Fusu is here on the order of the king. When the war on the front line is urgent, don't waste time on these false gifts."

"Lord Changping, you can just follow Fusu into the city. The rest of you can go and do your own business."

Officials Chen Ying looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to Lord Changping.

It's up to you to decide.

Xiong Qi stroked his green beard under his chin, laughed loudly and said, "Haha, the young master cares about state affairs, and the old minister is very happy."

"In that case, then you should go back to the office directly."

The two big men had spoken. Naturally, they, the little officials, would not hesitate any longer. They all bowed and said, "Thank you, sir. I will take my leave."

After Chen Ying's officials left, the atmosphere between Xiong Qi and Fusu seemed to become more relaxed.

After all, the two of them are not only monarchs and ministers, but also uncles and nephews.

However, in this calm atmosphere, the thoughts in the two people's hearts were extremely complicated.

Needless to say, Fusu was upset.

And Mr. Changping was not much better.

Ever since the Fusu Society came to the front line to supervise the war, he had been struggling with a problem.

Did Ying Zheng already know his plan?
  During this period, he continued to use various means to explore whether there were any changes around Chen Ying, whether there were additional arrangements for the army's logistics supplies that he was unaware of, and whether the rest of Qin's army had been mobilized.

The final result is nothing.

Including the investigation of spies in Chen Ying's land, there was nothing gained.

Although it was confirmed that Luo Wang and Shadow Secret Guard had indeed deployed personnel here, the intelligence collected showed that they were just conducting a routine inspection. After all, this place was about to become the front line of the battle between Qin and Chu, and the most important part of the logistics supply line.

This reason was quite reasonable, so Mr. Changping chose to continue with the plan.

It's not that he's big-hearted and casually believed the information in his hand. It's just that the arrow is on the string. What if he doesn't send it?

You can't be so frightened that you dare not take action if there is any slight disturbance.

It is not advisable to give up eating due to choking.

And in his opinion, Fusu's arrival gave him even more help.

If Chen Ying falls alone, Li Xin may still have a fight with Xiang Yan's army first, but if Fusu is added to it, he is afraid that the other party will have no choice but to withdraw westward at all costs and rescue Chen Ying and the eldest son first. .

However, Fu Su was a bit slow to arrive. If it were two days late, Xiong Qi would have no choice but to leave him alone and start the attack first. After all, the timing of his raising the flag for rebellion was also very particular.

It was too early, Li Xin's army did not penetrate deep enough into the Chu State, and Xiang Yan could not capture his troops.

But if it's too late, Li Xin and Mengtian will successfully join forces and start a direct war with Xiang Yan.

Although he didn't think Xiang Yan would be easily defeated by Li Xin, who could be sure about the military affairs?
  If something goes wrong and the Chu army is injured and unable to pursue the Qin army, do you think it will rebel or not?

Now is the perfect time.

Fortunately, Fusu arrived in time.

Xiong Qi decided to start a rebellion immediately after helping Su enter the city.

However, facing his nephew who was about to be tricked by him, Xiong Qi naturally felt guilty and intolerable, and all kinds of complicated emotions lingered in his heart.

The uncle and nephew, who had their own thoughts, returned to Lord Changping's mansion together in a strange atmosphere and surrounded by imperial guards.

The two of them did not go to the county government office because it was not necessary.

Fusu only played the role of a morale booster, and was not here to personally arrange and direct the logistics and transportation of the army. There was no need to go to the official office.

At least there is no need to rush this matter. It will be nice to go around for a while later when you have time.

At the same time, on the mound outside Chenying County, several people were overlooking this small county.

The leader has red hair and is very eye-catching. He is Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC.

And behind him were Luo Wang Tian Zi Yi, Zhen Gang, Duan Shui, and... Chaos Shen.

That's right, the new generation of chaos gods, I don't know how many generations ago they are.

It has to be said that Luo Wang adheres to his principle of 'people can die, but swords cannot'. Even though the God of chaos died in Yan State, Zhao Gao still found a way to get the sword of God of chaos back.

The only failure in his life that he didn't know whether he could recover for the rest of his life came from Gu Xun.

Every time he thought about the Yue Wang Eight Swords missing by two, he felt as if a corner of his life had been destroyed.

It's far from fatal, just uncomfortable.

Not to mention that the Gongbu sword I bought for 10,000 gold last time changed hands and the guy took it back...

This time, in the face of the upcoming rebellion by Lord Changping, Gu Xun was not included in the solution provided by the Qin court.

The person responsible for protecting the eldest son Fusu in Chen Ying and thwarting Xiong Qi's conspiracy was Luo Wang.

The executor is naturally Zhao Gao, the leader of Luowang.

Zhao Gao was very happy about this errand.

The DPRK has made careful arrangements for this matter, and it is basically foolproof. It is just a waste of effort.

He is still responsible for the most important link, and he can get the biggest piece of meat with almost no effort.

The only pity he felt was that he had to ensure Fusu's safety.

It would be perfect if there was a chance for Fusu to be ‘unfortunately accidentally killed by the traitor Xiong Qi’ without involving him.

After all, he is the teacher of the eighteenth prince Hu Hai, and Fusu's teacher is his mortal enemy.

It's a pity that this matter did not give him any room to operate.

Zhao Gao knew very well that if something happened to Fusu in a mission related to him, let alone his hand, even if he really did nothing, Ying Zheng would definitely chop him up and bury him with his son.

If you can't keep the young master, what's the use of this piece of shit like you?

To deal with Fusu, he had to use indirect means - either the matter had nothing to do with him on the surface, or it had nothing to do with Fusu on the surface.
