Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 151 It's time to take a concubine
The dark dungeon is filled with a dull and dead air.

There is no sunshine here all day long.

Only some torches illuminate the endless road.

When the criminals in the cell saw Ying Yuan coming alone, they didn't cry and beg for grievances, because those detained here knew very well that their crimes had already been convicted, and it was impossible for them to steal their lives again. Chance.

The most important thing is the strictness of the laws of the Qin State, which made them feel that even if they complained, it would be a waste of effort.

He came to Zheng Yi's cell and stopped.

The latter's appearance has changed drastically now, his whole body is bound by huge iron chains, his hair is unkempt, his face is gray, and he looks as if he has aged several decades.

Participating in treason was originally a capital offense, and the reason why he is still alive is entirely because Ying Yuan didn't want him to die, thinking that he still has some usefulness.

Without him, Zheng Yi would have died a long time ago.

"Master Hou?"

Zheng Yi didn't seem very surprised when he saw Ying Yuan.

He knew very well that the other party would definitely come to him.

I just didn't expect it to be so fast.

He originally thought that it would be possible to wait for the other party if he stayed in this dark prison for three to five years.

Since the other party won't let him die, he must think it's useful to keep him.

It's just that the sudden changes in the vicissitudes of life have damaged his mood. As for his appearance, he is changing every day. It seems to be silent, but in fact it accumulates every day, which is very remarkable. Until now, he has become this The appearance of a white-haired old man.

"I came to you today because I wanted to ask one thing."

Without any hesitation, Ying Yuan went straight to the point.

He and Zheng Yi have no personal relationship, so naturally there is nothing to hesitate.

"The person who is about to die, Lord Hou, but it's okay to ask, why do you need to avoid it?"

Zheng Yi smiled wryly.

His greatest usefulness should be to stay with Lu Buwei and learn many of his secrets.

But how can these secrets help Champion Hou?
So he was very curious, why the other party came to him.

"Over the years, based on what you know about Luo Wang, how much information does this organization have on spies from other countries?" Ying Yuan said surprisingly.

Zheng Yi was taken aback when he heard the sound, he really didn't expect that the other party came here to ask this.

After a pause, he leaned against the wall, clasped his fists to Ying Yuan with great effort, and said weakly, "Master Hou, I'm really sorry, I don't know about it. The net has always been directly managed by Xiangbang, and I have never had the right to intervene."

Ying Yuan nodded, he did not torture Zheng Yi.

The latter wants to live, and it is impossible to hide this kind of thing from himself.

"Continue to stay here. When the time comes, Benhou will naturally let you out. However, from now on, the name Zheng Yi will no longer exist in this world."

Ying Yuan decisively stated his second purpose for coming here.

Zheng Yi suddenly burst into tears and kowtowed heavily.

Ying Yuan was not staying here, and just as he was about to leave, he heard his voice, "Master Hou, there is no repayment for the kindness of rebuilding, you have given me the hope of seeing the sun again, and when I give this life, it will be the end of my life." Lord Hou's."

Hearing his words, Ying Yuan didn't say much, and walked straight forward without looking back.

Zheng Yi, who was behind him, was already weeping uncontrollably.

In front of the dungeon door, Ying Yuan told the jailer, "That man named Zheng Yi, treat him well, and this Marquis will be of great use."

"No!" The jailer responded humbly.

Ying Yuan got into the carriage and planned to return to the Hou Mansion.

At the same time, Suzaku also locked Qin Wuyang in the dungeon.

The latter was afraid of being tortured by the state of Qin, and the moment he was chained to his body again, he yelled hysterically, "You want to be killed or cut to pieces, what kind of hero is I being locked up here?"

His voice just kept going.

But Suzaku was unmoved.

She was only responsible for imprisoning Qin Wuyang, and what would happen to the latter had nothing to do with her.

Moreover, it is not surprising that every prisoner who has just been imprisoned in Qin's death row will have the same words and deeds as him.

After leaving the death row, Suzaku ordered people to tell Yan Dan the news of Qin Wuyang's detention.

As for whether the other party will come to redeem Qin Wuyang, that's unknown.

After Ying Yuan returned to the Hou Mansion, he felt a little heavy.

He thought of something, but Ba Linglong was nowhere to be found, and the secrets about them had not been answered yet.

Because of Zhenhou, it is impossible for Yingzheng to control that Ba Linglong.

Through the arrest of spies from various countries this time, he suddenly realized that the background hidden in the net was still terrifying.

At this time, Yan Lingji wriggled her graceful figure and came up to him, and said with a smile, "Go out for a while, and come back frowning, what's wrong?"

Ying Yuan was lying on the rocking chair, closing his eyes and resting his mind, "You seem to be in a good mood recently, are you used to life in the Hou Mansion?"

Yan Lingji's slender hand was sliding back and forth on his face, which seemed to be provocative, "Even if I'm not used to it, so what? Are you willing to let me go?"

Ying Yuan frowned, "Why do you still want to leave now? That Tian Ze, do you really miss him so much?"

The corners of Yan Lingji's mouth rose slightly, "I don't want to say much about him, but there is one thing I am sure of now."

"what's up?"

"He is not as good as you."

Hearing the sound, Ying Yuan didn't respond, but gradually fell into sleep.

Yan Lingji stood by and looked at his face quietly, without moving, as if she was afraid that he would be woken up by her actions.

From a distance, Tian Zhen saw this scene, and murmured: "Master Hou, it's time to take a concubine."

end of october.

Gai Nie and Meng Yi arrived at Hangu Pass.

The three of them discussed together and decided to divide the army into two groups, one way to take Shouling directly, and the other way to go north.

In any case, Lian Po would definitely stick to Shouling City unshakably.

That being the case, there is no need for Meng Tian and the others to fight to the death with Lian Po.

Otherwise, this hoarding of troops at the border will be meaningless.

Meng Tian personally led the army to attack Shouling, not for real, but to divert Lian Po's attention so that Meng Yi and Gai Nie could take all the towns around Shouling, forming a siege.

In fact, strictly speaking, the topography of Shouling is not very important.

It's just that Qin State has made great determination to regain the loss.

Moreover, if Shouling is not captured, it will be difficult for the Qin army to have a strategic buffer zone, and Hangu Pass will often face danger.

Three days later.

The marching route on the other side of Hangu Pass was passed to Xianyang City.

Ying Yuan and Ying Zheng were analyzing the current situation, even to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

They all felt an incomparable headache for Lian Po.

If it was someone else, it would be fine.

But Lian is quite different. In the Battle of Changping, if Zhao Guo did not insist on changing the commander, I am afraid that the final result of Qin State would be to retreat.

Among Li Mu, Lian Po, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Guo Kai and other gods of war, Lian Po's defense ability is the strongest, bar none.

If Li Mu is Zhao's spear, then Lian Po is Zhao's shield.
