From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 128 New Occupation [Advisor]; Rebellion in the Lu Mansion, Unrest in Xianyang

The flattering voices lasted for a full quarter of an hour until Lu Buwei, with a flushed face, stood up with the wine in his hand.

"I thank you all for your kindness, but I have something to say to you all."

"The Great Qin is now strong and the court is stable, all because our king is young and capable and governs the country well. Although I have a close relationship with the king, I have only made suggestions and contributions, and have not made any outstanding contributions, far from what you all say."

"Here, I thank you again. From now on, I hope you will join me in assisting the king to govern the Qin Empire!"

Although Lu Buwei had something on his mouth, his words were still sonorous and powerful, full of energy, and his hands behind his back made him look even more majestic.

The guests in the courtyard laughed even more and bowed one after another.

"Prime Minister, you are too modest. You are the most meritorious official of the Qin Dynasty!"

"With your assistance, the king will truly become a wise ruler!"

"The Prime Minister's loyalty is admirable. He is a role model for us. He is a role model for us!"

……

Wu Fengdeng withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but think of what Han Fei wrote in the letter.

Sure enough!
"Haha, General Wu."

At this moment, a friendly laughter came from behind. It was Lu Buwei who came forward with wine. Wu Fengdeng quickly stood up.

"Lord Xiangguo!"

He smiled and patted Wu Fengdeng on the shoulder, saying friendly: "You don't have to be restrained in this prime minister's residence, please take a seat!"

"Actually, if I really want to talk about it, I should thank you very much."

"Oh? Why do you say that, Lord Xiangguo?"

Lü Buwei stroked his long beard and said calmly, "During the war against Han a few days ago, some of my retainers did not follow the rules and took credit for the military achievements. This was due to my negligence in supervision."

"Fortunately, General Wu stopped it in time at the last moment. Otherwise, if this crime had been committed, it would have caused a disaster and my reputation would have been ruined."

Wu Fengdeng smiled and said, "No, no, I was just thinking of apologizing to the Prime Minister for this matter. I was indeed reckless that day."

This old guy was playing a trick on him, but Wu Fengdeng was not in a hurry. He just said some normal words.

Immediately, Lü Buwei changed the subject and said with admiration, "General Wu, I heard that you and the Taoist master Yisu's disciple are actually partners. Is this true?"

"Yes, indeed."

"Haha, then I really did something wrong with good intentions. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have let Yao'er go and bother me."

The light in Lu Yao's eyes dimmed, and she stood aside in silence. Lu Buwei glanced at her and continued, "But my daughter is stubborn and has great respect for General Wu. Do you plan to take a concubine?"

Wu Fengdeng was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would actually let his daughter be a concubine? !

The daughter of the regent became a concubine of another family. If this were to be known to others, it would be enough to shock countless people.

But he changed his mind and realized that Lu Buwei was willing to let his daughter become a concubine in order to win him over to his camp, so he must not just admire him.

So, the answer is obvious.

Fire Armor Army.

He now has seven battalions of elite soldiers under his command. He has become a force that cannot be ignored. Everyone wants to hold him in his hands, especially Lu Buwei.

And the key point is, why is he so eager to win over the military power?

Wu Fengdeng had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but he stopped thinking after a moment and said apologetically, "Master Xiangguo, how dare I let Miss Lu be my concubine? I have already made an engagement with the Taoists. I can only thank Miss Lu for her kindness."

Now that things have come to this, it would be most appropriate to bring up Taoism to shut up Lu Buwei.

Hearing this, he really stopped talking, but the smile on his face became a little colder. He nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I won't force you. I'll wait for General Wu's wedding in the future. I will definitely present you with a generous gift and congratulate you on your old age."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Lu Buwei then stood up, looked at Lao Ai in the yard, and then stood up and left.

As the night deepened, the feast was lively and most people were drunk, and they could not help but enjoy themselves by playing games such as pitching pots and drinking wine.

Wu Fengdeng felt very bored and was thinking of a reason to leave when he suddenly heard clanging sounds all around him!

His instincts gained from years of fighting on the battlefield made him instantly aware of the crisis. He turned around and saw a large group of men in black pouring in from the walls surrounding the prime minister's residence!

"There are assassins!"

shuh~
In an instant, knives flashed everywhere.

The drunken guests looked up, dazed at first, then sobered up instantly and shouted!

"Who is trespassing into my residence?"

Lu Buwei smashed the cup in anger, and his shouts spread out, and the scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.

Wu Fengdeng turned around to glance at Lu Buwei who had a sullen look on his face. Just as he was looking at him coldly, he suddenly heard a sharp gust of wind!
But it turned out to be three men in black holding knives and slashing in front of him!

Wu Fengdeng subconsciously dodged, but was still kicked in the chest by one of them and retreated backwards.

"kill him!"

The three of them cooperated well, were agile, and their blood and qi were all in the middle stage of Tongjing. They were obviously veterans who focused on assassination, and it seemed that they had been eyeing him for a long time.

Wu Fengdeng immediately summoned out Yanri, and once the black and red broken gun appeared, the cold murderous aura was blown away.

clang!
He angrily used his Golden Phoenix Wing to accurately cut off the blade of one of the men, and then split him in half!
Such power instantly made the surrounding people in black gasp for air, and even many officials were frightened to the point of turning pale and breaking out in cold sweats.

"Come here, catch the thief!"

Wu Fengdeng shouted loudly, and his voice echoed under the night sky. In an instant, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard around the prime minister's residence.

Seeing the large number of Fire Armored Soldiers pouring out of the door, Lu Buwei in the main hall's face suddenly changed slightly and his expression became complicated.

As soon as the Fire Armor Army arrived, they quickly stabilized the situation. The dozens of men in black had to flee, leaving behind only a few corpses and one survivor.

After such a commotion, all the guests sobered up and looked in fear at the fully armed fire-armored soldiers around them, as well as Wu Fengdeng who was standing in the middle of the courtyard with a ferocious spear in his hand.

How could he bring his troops to the banquet!

You have to know that the situation just now was too sudden, even the guards of Lu Mansion did not react in the first time. Wu Fengdeng's Fire Armor Army rushed in first, which was obviously arranged in advance.

Why is this happening?
At this time, Wu Fengdeng was not interested in these people's speculations. He looked around at everyone coldly, and then stopped his gaze on the ground, where the guests were hacked to death.

Familiar face.

They were all the people who had not stood up to flatter Lu Buwei just now, and the remaining few were standing aside, watching in amazement.

Wu Fengdeng took a deep breath and turned to look at the only living assassin in black. Liu Tianlai beside him understood and pulled down the assassin's mask.

His mouth had been sewn shut and he was staring at Wu Fengdeng ferociously. There was a word "prisoner" printed on his forehead, not in small seal script but in a rather long and thin font.

"Who is it? I am hosting a banquet today. How dare you cause trouble and kill people?"

At this time, Lü Buwei led his men forward with a fierce momentum, his eyes wide open with anger. Wu Fengdeng beside him said coldly: "Master Xiangguo, you should order the city to be closed."

"General Wu is absolutely right."

He nodded, but before he could say anything, a historian next to him said in surprise: "This is the language of the Chu State!"

"Chu language?"

"That's right. Although the characters of Chu are similar to our Great Qin's small seal script, the handwriting tends to be delicate and slender. The mark on this person's forehead is definitely Chu characters!" The historian said firmly.

Wu Fengdeng glanced at Li Qun and Liu Tianlai. They quickly took off the masks of all the assassins' bodies on the ground. As expected, without exception, there was a word "prisoner" on all of them.

Lü Buwei's face was gloomy. "They look like Chu's death warriors, but why are they here in Xianyang? Could it be that the city defenses are lax?"

"Isn't the Queen Mother Huayang a Chu person…" Just when everyone was silent, a voice suddenly sounded, instantly making everyone break out in cold sweats.

Wu Fengdeng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Lao Ai.

"Nonsense! Are all the Chu assassins in Xianyang the Queen Mother Huayang's men?"

Lu Buwei immediately scolded in a loud voice, causing everyone present to look at each other with complicated expressions.

As everyone knows, the Queen Mother Huayang was once a noble of the State of Chu. During the reign of the previous King Ying Yiren and even when King Ying Zheng of Qin ascended the throne, she was the person with the most say in the court, and her faction was also the most powerful.

However, this strong situation began to loosen after Ying Zheng ascended the throne. Prime Minister Lu Buwei, relying on his relationship with Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, expanded his power step by step, and there were signs that he was shaking the position of Queen Dowager Huayang.

Especially now that he has the important task of regulating the country and is the actual ruler of the court, the Queen Mother Huayang is afraid and sends assassins from the State of Chu to cause trouble, thus warning these officials to distance themselves from Lu Buwei.

This is a very logical reason for the assassination.

Those present were all experienced officials and could understand this point, so no one dared to say anything more at this time.

Looking at the two people, one with a red face and the other with a white face, Wu Fengdeng completely lost his patience, clasped his fists and said coldly: "Young general, I'll take my leave."

Without waiting for Lu Buwei's response, he turned around and walked out. Hundreds of fire-armored soldiers rushed forward. The loud sound of armor colliding was quite imposing. Even the guards of Lu's mansion had to avoid their sharp edge and make way.

"Li Qun."

"General!"

He quickly ran forward, and Wu Fengdeng whispered, "Gather all the brothers from the Seventh Battalion, and have them all enter the palace in half an hour and guard the four gates."

"Into...into the palace?"

Li Qun's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

Can you enter the palace just by saying so?

"Don't ask any more questions, just do as you are told, and someone will come to greet you."

"Here!"

"Liu Tianlai."

"My subordinate is here!"

"Take a few scouts to the barracks near the palace and see if they are gathering their troops tonight."

"Here!"

"Chen Hao."

"My subordinate is here!"

"Go get the carrier pigeon, tie a blank piece of letter paper to it, and send it to the Black Dragon Riders of Yingchuan County."

"Here!"

Wu Fengdeng hurriedly carried his machine box on the carriage, looked at the many fire-armored soldiers in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I will go to the palace, you guys go back to the camp for now."

"Here!"

Although everyone didn't understand why Wu Fengdeng made such a big fuss, they knew it was a serious matter from his serious look, and they all cheered up and returned to the camp.

Wu Fengdeng mounted his warhorse, his handsome face filled with solemnity.

But before he could move, the Ever-Victorious Treasure Mirror that had been silent in his body for a long time suddenly moved.

[A small desk can decide a victory a thousand miles away... Unlocked the always-victorious profession: Strategist]

[Business Point: One (immersing yourself in the profession and practicing it yourself can condense business points)]

[Strategist's optional skills: Concentration, Deduction, Qimen...]

The golden light spread, and the treasure book [Archer] finally shone with new light, which was [Counselor].

"It must be that the layout just now triggered the conditions for activating the troops. This time it is no longer a combat profession, but a strategist or military advisor."

Wu Fengdeng's heartbeat quickened, and as his mind was inspired, the [Strategist's] [Concentration] gradually lit up along the way.

This time the illusion did not reappear, but a large amount of text emerged and merged into the center of the eyebrows. At the moment of coolness, the impression was already memorized in my mind.

After a few breaths, his eyes came back to life and he understood.

"The so-called concentration can greatly improve my concentration, thereby increasing my thinking speed and making me more agile."

"It looks like the most basic attribute. Although it has no combat power, this kind of spiritual improvement is extremely rare step by step."

Wu Fengdeng put away the treasure mirror, swung the whip on the horse's buttocks, and with a long neigh, he galloped towards the palace.

At the grand and majestic main entrance of the Palace of the King of Qin, as the sound of horse hooves grew louder, Wu Fengdeng instantly sensed that several auras of the Hidden Qi realm were locking onto him.

"If you come here, dismount!"

The guards at the door immediately looked fierce and drew their swords.

Wu Fengdeng dismounted, took out his Fire Armor Army badge, and said in a loud voice: "I am Wu Fengdeng of the Fire Armor Army. I would like to trouble my captain to pass a message to Chief Steward Xu. I have something important to discuss with you."

"It's General Wu. Please wait a moment."

With the help of candlelight, the guards could see that it was Wu Fengdeng, and one of them immediately turned around and walked into the palace.

Not long after, Wu Fengdeng suddenly felt a strange fragrance coming with the wind, and a fat man in a black and green robe came floating over.

It was Xu Ran, the chief steward of the Qin Palace's Imperial Household Department.

"General Wu, what brings you to our house so late at night?"

Wu Fengdeng bowed and saluted: "Please lead the way, General Manager Xu. I want to see the Queen Mother Huayang!"

Xu Ran's fat face hidden in the darkness poked out, pale as paper, and smiled strangely: "Is it what Master Han Fei asked you to do?"

"Yes."

"Okay, come with us."

After saying this, the whisk floated past Wu Fengdeng, and his bloated body seemed to walk very lightly.

In the palace gate ramp, Xu Ran said slowly: "General Wu, I heard that today is the Prime Minister's sixtieth birthday. You smell of alcohol, I guess you just came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"My Lord is right, that's why I am so anxious to see Queen Mother Huayang."

"We know, we know."

A moment later, Wu Fengdeng stopped in front of Empress Dowager Huayang's bedroom. He waited for Xu Ran to report before stepping in.

In the intricate window lattice, the black figure slowly bowed...

The next morning.

When the entire Xianyang city was shrouded in a thin mist and there was silence, suddenly a loud noise tore the silence apart.

Da da da!
Da da da!
The sound of loud horse hooves began to be heard on every street in Xianyang City.

There were dozens of soldiers riding war horses, holding private army flags with the word "Lu" on them, galloping wildly in every street of Xianyang City and shouting loudly.

"No one in the city is allowed to leave today! No one in the city is allowed to leave!"

"The Queen Mother Huayang controls the government, persecutes loyal officials, and intends to join forces with the Chu State spies to rebel!"

"In order to ensure the long-term stability of the Great Qin, my Excellency the Prime Minister has entered the palace today in compliance with the will of Heaven to help the King eliminate the traitors and purge the emperor's court!"
