Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Chapter 40 Ancient Forces

"Intercepted and killed... outside Hengpu Pass..."

Di Renjie frowned. Known as the detective, at this moment, he immediately began to think deeply and reason.

"How is this possible? Today's Zhao Tuo, even if he is known as the king of Nanyue, is all right. Besides, he has declared a rebellion, so it is impossible for him to leave Nanyue and die in the territory of Daqin!"

"The only possibility is that he didn't think of rebelling! And you said that he had disappeared for more than a month before, and you investigated it more than a month ago. The first and the second are two months. Isn't it that his Did he die in the same order as my Great Qin Envoy? Could it be that he was killed together with my Great Qin Envoy when he returned to Xianyang with my Great Qin Envoy?"

Di Renjie muttered to himself, and at the end, he looked at Xu Chu suddenly, and said, "General Xu Chu, is that so?"

Xu Chu was startled, looked at Di Renjie in disbelief, and shouted: "Oh, the old man is amazing, he guessed it so quickly, I admire him!"

As he said that, Xu Chu nodded and said: "It is indeed so. Two months ago, according to the information we got, the Great Qin envoy did not take Zhao Tuo to leave the border of Nanyue, but returned to Xianyang alone, and it turned out that he had just left the Hengpu Pass. Not far away, they were intercepted and killed by thieves!"

"Think about it. At that time, the relationship between Daqin and Nanyue was inherently rigid, and Zhao Tuo dared not to be called to Xianyang. He was clearly planning to confront me, Daqin. So when the envoy of Daqin died, the first thing we suspected was Zhao Tuo made a move. After we went to the scene to investigate for ourselves, we found that there was a secret army under Zhao Tuo's command, and the Lingnan Shenfeng Army's army had inadvertently left a mark!"

"Things have developed to this point, basically there is no doubt that the Great Qin envoy was intercepted and killed by Zhao Tuo's kamikaze army pretending to be bandits, so I sent someone to send a letter to His Majesty as soon as possible."

"At that time, I really didn't expect that things would change like this. It turns out that Zhao Tuo didn't turn against it. It was just because of some reasons that he had fallen into other people's schemes when he didn't know when, and he could only sneak back to Xianyang. And was killed!"

As he said that, Xu Chu sighed, as if he felt sorry for Zhao Tuo.

Faced with his pretended exclamation, Ying Shou didn't even bother to look at it, but looked at Di Renjie and said, "Old Di, what do you think about this matter?"

Di Renjie revealed a pensive expression on his face, and said, "My lord, this matter may not be as simple as it appears on the surface!"

As he said that, Di Renjie looked at Xu Chu, and said, "General Xu Chu, how did you confirm Zhao Tuo's death?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, he couldn't help but look at Ying Shou, and said, "This... this... old man... no, Your Majesty, about this matter, actually... actually I don't know Dare to be too sure!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ying Shou, Di Renjie's eyes immediately focused on him.

"uncertain?"

The two said in unison.

"Your Majesty... you... listen to me, actually... I was too anxious. When I sent you a letter two months ago, I had already confirmed that Zhao Tuo had rebelled, but after investigation, it seemed that it was not This happened, so half a month ago... I sent you another letter. Obviously, His Majesty has arrived at Hengpu Pass so soon, and has not received any letter at all, so, everything happened so unexpectedly! "

"Just now, after a rigorous investigation, my subordinates finally came back to report, saying... that they had found out the reason, but because His Majesty came suddenly, I... I haven't had time to ask, this... In this way, I Then call him over, how about His Majesty asking carefully?"

As he said that, Xu Chu lowered his head firmly, and then remembered that he had made a big mistake regarding this matter, and no matter how proud he was, he didn't even know why he died.

Immediately, Xu Chu hurriedly turned around, opened the door, and pulled in the man who had come to report that Zhao Tuo was dead.

"Quickly, tell Your Majesty how Zhao Tuo died!"

Xu Chu threw this person in front of Ying Shou and said coldly.

"Iron Eagle Swordsman Yin Shan has met His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live!"

When the man saw Ying Shou, he immediately knelt down and announced his name. He was one of the 400 people who were sent to South Vietnam after being trained by Ying Shou's camp to become the Great Qin Iron Eagle Swordsman. His name was Yinshan.

"Okay, Yinshan, you can just call him the son of the emperor in the future. Tell me, what's going on with this matter?"

Ying Shou waved his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"No, Young Master Di!"

Yin Shan stood up and said, "My lord, this is what happened. Two months ago, we all thought it was Zhao Tuo who intercepted and killed my Great Qin envoy, because we found something accidentally left behind by the Lingnan Kamikaze Army at the scene. , By the way, this thing, this subordinate has carried it with me till now, please look at it, Mr. Emperor!"

With that said, Yin Shan quickly took out a token and handed it to Ying Shou.

Ying Shou took the token, and saw the word "God" written on the front of the token, and on the back was a carved portrait of a gust of wind blowing leaves.

"This is the token of the Kamikaze Army?"

Ying Shou frowned.

"That's right, this kamikaze army sounds like an army, but it's actually not. It's a guard that Zhao Tuo has trained well over the years. It is said that the total number of people is less than [-]. Among them, there are so many masters, and there are countless capable people and strangers, but they were established specifically to deal with an ancient force in Baiyue!"

Yin Shan truthfully told the origin of the Kamikaze Army.

"An ancient force in Baiyue?"

A look of doubt flashed in Ying Shou's eyes, and he said puzzledly: "Although my Great Qin has not completely conquered the land of Baiyue, most of it has been reduced to my Great Qin's territory. How come I don't know what ancient forces exist?"

As soon as this remark came out, before Yinshan could speak, Di Renjie said: "The land of Baiyue is also known as the land of hundreds of clans. In Baiyue, there are many clans and powerful forces, and Nanyue is just one of them. , and began to conquer Baiyue, and most of Baiyue has basically been included in our territory by Daqin, because Daqin is unable to control it, so we have to continue to hand over the land of Baiyue to many local nobles for governance!"

"Except for South Vietnam, Minyue and Dongyue, for example, are all under the control of the local nobles, that is, the royal families of the original ethnic groups. When the emperor initially stationed 60 troops in South Vietnam, it was to prevent these people from rebelling. Use 60 troops as a deterrent!"

"Nowadays, these forces are still there, and it's not surprising that an ancient force will appear again!"

After Di Renjie finished speaking, Yin Shan hurriedly answered, "That's right, and until now, we still haven't fully investigated this ancient force. It is said that this force has covered the entire Baiyue, and once made the royal families of all tribes in Baiyue tremble with fear."

"Since Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo and others led the army to attack the Baiyue tribes, this mysterious force has appeared, especially after Tu Sui's death, Zhao Tuo took control of the army, and this force has repeatedly targeted Zhao Tuo. Even Zhao Tuo was deeply shocked by its power, so he had a headache!"
