A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 108 Assassination of the Emperor and Killer, Mysterious Mountain Village

The twenty-ninth year of Qin Shihuang

Yangwucheng, suburbs, Bolangsha
"Ziliang, is your news accurate? Will the emperor's motorcade really pass through here?" Zhang Liang asked the Mohist next to him in a pit where concealment measures were taken.

"Zifang, don't worry, the source of the information is absolutely reliable." Mohist Wang Zhang replied.

These two people, Zhang Liang, are descendants of the Prime Minister of South Korea, and Wang Zhang is a descendant of the Bai Kingdom. They came to assassinate Qin Shihuang this time.

Zhang Liang wanted to continue asking, but was stopped by Wang Zhang, "Silence! Someone is coming."

Zhang Liang immediately shut up and looked at the board above his head nervously, "Captain, this area is basically flat ground and there is no place to hide anyone. Let's go take a look in the woods opposite!"

"Okay, let's go!" Soon, the sounds of conversation and footsteps above Zhang Liang's head faded away.

Zhang Liang and Wang Zhang wiped the sweat from their foreheads, looked at each other, and chuckled.

At this time, the two of them suddenly heard a rumbling sound. They knew that it was the sound of a large number of troops and horses marching. Wang Zhang pushed the wooden board above his head with his hand, and a small gap leaked out, and he looked out.

I saw a long black dragon marching on the road, with a large number of elite soldiers in front, and a fleet of luxurious carriages in the middle. Especially the carriage in the middle actually required ten horses to pull it. It was like a walking palace.

Wang Zhang said to Zhang Liang: "The emperor is here." Then he gave a place to Zhang Liang and asked him to take a look. After Zhang Liang looked at it, he said: "Humph! This Ying Zheng's pomp is so grand! I don't know how much it will take." Only with the support of the people can we afford such a luxurious parade!"

Wang Zhang answered: "That's why we're here, isn't it?"

Zhang Liang turned to look at Wang Zhang and said with a smile: "That's right! Isn't that why the two of us are here?" After that, he looked out and said: "Get ready! The carriage is about to enter the predetermined area!"

Wang Zhang quickly groped for a rope to the side and held it with his hand, ready to pull at any time.

When the huge carriage came to a tall locust tree in the woods, Zhang Liang roared: "Pull!" Wang Zhang pulled hard.

I saw a sledgehammer suddenly appear on the tall locust tree and hit the carriage directly. The carriage was immediately smashed into pieces. "Enemy attack!" "Go and protect the emperor!"

Zhang Liang was very happy when he saw that the carriage was accurately hit. He knelt down again and said to Wang Zhang: "It's done!" "It's done?" "It's done!"

Wang Zhang, who was retracting the rope, was also very happy. He asked Zhang Liang to continue retracting the rope. He wanted to see the situation of the convoy.

I was very happy to see that the luxurious carriage had been smashed to pieces with a sledgehammer, but why didn't the Qin army look a little confused and didn't pull the carriage to rescue Ying Zheng's body?

"Zifang" "What's wrong?" "Something's wrong! Why isn't Qin Jun panicking at all?" "No way! Let me see!"

Wang Zhang stepped aside and Zhang Liang stepped forward to take a look. Suddenly, Zhang Liang saw an inconspicuous carriage behind him surrounded by Qin soldiers, but no one cared about the smashed carriage. He cursed in a low voice: "You bastard. , we were deceived!”

Wang Zhang asked: "What?"

Zhang Liang knelt down again and said, "Ying Zheng is not in that car, but in a carriage behind!"

Wang Zhang said disappointedly: "Consider him lucky!" Zhang Liang had no choice but to comfort him: "It's just right. Let him see the consequences of not caring about the people. This can be considered a warning to him!"

Wang Zhang said: "We have no choice but to stay in this pit for two more days. After two days, we will go all the way north and enter the Taihang Mountains. With our people inside to support us, we will be free from the Qin army's pursuit."

Zhang Liang asked curiously: "Ziliang, the six kingdoms were destroyed together, why is it that you, the Bai Kingdom, still have so much power left, even the emperor's itinerary can be obtained."

Wang Zhang said mysteriously: "This is a secret and cannot be said!"

In Qin Shihuang's motorcade, a commander in the imperial army guarding the emperor felt nervous when he saw the luxurious carriage being smashed, but suddenly his superior said to him: "Bai Chang, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and lead your men to protect him." Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Bai Chang looked at his superior and said, "Isn't His Majesty the Emperor in that car?"

The superior said with a smile: "His Majesty the Emperor is wise and mighty and has been on guard for a long time. Therefore, he will change a carriage every day. There are only a few eunuchs in that carriage. Stop talking and follow me to protect His Majesty!"

Bai Chang obeyed the order and then led his troops to follow his superiors.

two days later

Zhang Liang and Wang Zhang took advantage of the darkness to dig out of the pit and headed for the planned retreat. Soon, the two came to a village, and Wang Zhang took Zhang Liang to a family far away from the village.

The head of the household opened the door and saw Wang Zhang. He immediately let the two of them in and closed the door. After a moment, he suddenly opened the door again and looked out to see if there were any spies following him. If he found any, he returned to the yard.

Wang Zhang and Zhang Liangzheng drank a lot of cold water provided by the head of the household. At this time, the head of the household came back and said to Wang Zhang, "How is it? Did it go well?"

Wang Zhang put down the water ladle and cursed: "Ying Zheng is very cunning. Although we succeeded in destroying the vehicle, it was because he was not in the vehicle."

The head of the household also sighed secretly, and then said: "It doesn't matter, there will be another chance later. If he can hide once, can he hide a hundred times?"

Wang Zhang asked again: "How is the wind outside now?"

The head of the household said: "I am very nervous. The superiors have issued a nationwide arrest warrant for ten days. Anyone without a household registration document or a communication warrant will be arrested and sent to prison." Zhang Liang said at this time: "Then what should we do?"

The head of the household said: "I have prepared the household registration mudu and the passage warrant for you. You will go to Baiguan on the 15th. You can enter the mountain by showing the household registration mudu and the passage warrant. You can just say that you are visiting relatives in the mountains. , remember it must be the 15th. Only the 15th is our people, remember?
After passing Baiguan, you two go all the way north. There is a road in the mountains. You keep walking along this road. After passing through thirteen villages, you turn west at the fourteenth village and cross three roads. A big mountain, you will see another road, follow the road, take the left road at the first branch, go all the way to the end, you will find that there is no road.

Instead, a stream appears and cuts off the road. Don't cross the river. Go downstream along the stream. After walking for two days, you will encounter a mountain. After climbing over the mountain, you will see a mountain village. That mountain village is yours. At your destination, there will be people there to pick you up. They will ask you who you are. At that time, Wang Zhang, you only need to answer your clan and name, and they will check it on their own. "

Wang Zhang and Zhang Liang nodded, then they had a hot meal here and continued on their way. The head of the household sent the two people out. After a while, a man came down from a tree in the yard opposite the head of the household. This man was the son of the head of the household.

"Qing'er, how are you? You don't have a tail!"

Guan Qing shook his head and said no. The head of the household breathed a sigh of relief and said to Guan Qing: "You haven't caught up with the good times! In the past, you could still go to the Bai Academy in the mountains to study, but now you can only study with your father. , how can my father’s knowledge compare to those great sages in school?”

Then he patted Guan Qing and said, "Fortunately, my master allowed me to copy a volume of classics when he retired. If you can fully understand Bai Zi's "Bai's Spring and Autumn Annals", it will be enough to light up the lintel."

Then he looked at Taihang Mountain and said, "I hope my family will come out of the mountain as soon as possible! The taxes from above are too heavy, even our rich family can't bear it. By the way, the above said that one of my family members will have to serve as a laborer next month." I'm going, you keep your home well, and if someone from the mountains contacts us, you must take it seriously, is that clear?"

Guan Qing nodded and said: "I understand, kid!"

15th

Wang Zhang and Zhang Liang were dressed in Guizhou clothes with submissive expressions. When they came to Baiguan, they saw at a glance the Great Order of the World posted on the bulletin board in front of the city gate. The two of them didn't dare to look any further and quickly followed the team forward.

The Qin soldier looked at the two men and felt that they looked nothing alike, so he asked suspiciously:

"Are you two brothers?"

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Cousin!"

"What are you doing in the mountains?"

"Visiting relatives!"

The soldiers of the Qin army asked: "Are they all from Huaiyi?"

"Yes Yes!"

The Qin soldier said: "What a coincidence. I'm from the next town. Why haven't I heard of you?"

Zhang Liang and Wang Zhang were a little nervous. Qin Jun saw that they were nervous and knew at a glance that they were not good people. When they were about to call for arrest, a man dressed as a general came over and asked, "What's going on?"

The soldiers of the Qin Army immediately stood up and said respectfully: "General, I think there is something wrong with these two people, and I want them to be arrested and questioned carefully!"

General Qin walked up to the two of them, looked at them, took their household registration mudu and traffic warrants, looked at them, and asked, "Why are you going into the mountain?"

"General, my two brothers are in the mountains to visit relatives!"

"Visiting relatives? What happened? Do you need to visit relatives?"

Zhang Liang heard the implication and immediately said: "The general doesn't know something. Our aunt married a hunter in the mountains. Some time ago, someone sent a message saying that she was seriously ill and needed some medicinal materials, but there were no such medicinal materials in the mountains. , let us search outside the mountain, no, as soon as we found that medicinal material, we immediately went into the mountain to deliver the medicine, and also took a look at my aunt by the way!"

After speaking, he took out some medicinal herbs from his luggage and showed them to the general. General Qin handed them to Zhang Liang after looking at them and said: "Since you are in a hurry to cure the disease, you should go quickly!"

Zhang Liang and Wang Zhang quickly thanked General Qin and walked quickly to the pass.

"General, why did you let these two people go? There is something wrong with them at first sight!"

General Qin looked at the Qin soldiers and said, "Are you questioning me?"

"I don't dare?" "Hmph! I'm sorry you don't have the courage, but remember that our responsibility here is to guard the white python in the mountain, but can we lock it? I don't think so, that python in the mountain It's a white python. If it moves, the whole of Hebei will tremble. We are just small people, so we have to leave an extra way for ourselves!"

The soldiers of the Qin army were puzzled and couldn't understand a bit, what white python, from Hebei, but the general had already spoken, what could he, a small soldier, do, so he had to continue to check the passing merchants and Guizhou heads.

Wang Zhang and Zhang Liang traveled over mountains and ridges, and arrived at a small mountain village half a month later. As soon as they saw the village, two arrows suddenly shot out from the tree next to them, and they were inserted into the soil in front of them. The arrows on the arrows Yu was still trembling.

At this time, two big men jumped out of the grass nearby, pointed at the two of them with bronze swords and shouted: "Who are they? What are you doing here? If you don't say anything, don't blame us for being ruthless with our swords!"

Wang Zhang quickly said: "The Bai family, Wang Zhang of Xinzheng and his friends came to visit the master's house." Zhang Liang was thoughtful after hearing Wang Zhang's self-report.

One of the big men said: "Since you are a member of the public family, please come with us to live in the village first, and wait until the inspection is correct before we talk about anything else."

Then Wang Zhang and Zhang Liang followed one of the big men into the village, while the rest continued to defend.
