Competing

Chapter 160 Chapter [-] The Last Hope
At dusk, the setting sun slowly disappears behind the distant mountains in the west.

The afterglow of ten thousand points sprinkled on the ground, and the whole world was shrouded in a golden light.

Jingshui flows quietly, half of the river is rustling and half of it is red, and the breeze blows by, making sparkling waves.

The green hills in the distance are like Daisy, the forest sea is vast, quiet and natural.There is a huge house by the river, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions, well arranged.Perhaps it has not been inhabited for a long time, and there are faint traces of smashing and burning, and it has been damaged a lot.

A woman in a palace costume walked towards the setting sun, looked at the dilapidated walls, doors and windows, and sighed: "Oh! I haven't returned for two years, and my Jingshui palace has been dilapidated. It's a pity that all the flowers and trees in my garden have been ruined." Otherwise, the garden is full of spring scenery at this time, so pleasant!"

Can't help sighing again, quite a bit of sadness.

A long-bearded man came from behind, about five or sixty years old, walked gently behind the woman, held the fragrant shoulders, and said softly: "Touch the scene to make love? Don't be sad, flowers and plants can be planted again if they wither, at least Zhao Gao also kept the house for us, although it is damaged, it can still shelter from the wind and rain, and it can allow you and me to revisit our old places!"

The woman's pretty face blushed, and she buried herself in the bearded man's chest in a coy manner.The age difference between the two of them is more than 20 years, but they are a sweet and loving old couple and young wife.

Thinking of the past, the woman complained sweetly: "Isn't it all because of you, otherwise I wouldn't be demoted to this deep mountain wilderness by my father?"

The long-bearded man said: "If it weren't for that, how could my Shiman escape from Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's clutches, and stand in front of me safe and sound?"

As soon as Huhai was mentioned, the woman named Shiman suddenly felt a little sad. She was rescued by Ailang and was lucky to escape.The other brothers and sisters were not so lucky. Thinking back to the time when Du You was bleeding, ten siblings fell in a pool of blood like that, with their heads in different places, like a nightmare!
The most tragic thing in the world is that brothers and sisters kill each other while their parents are still alive!

The long-bearded man realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and brought back the sadness of his little wife, and hurriedly changed his words: "If it wasn't for me, you would definitely be bored in Xianyang Palace. How can you be so peaceful and happy in the green mountains and green waters? Don't forget, I have abandoned Daqin Taiwei's high-ranking official Hulu, and came here to accompany you."

The woman turned from sadness to joy, and said: "What are you talking about? Don't forget, at that time you were in your forties, but you abducted the most beautiful princess in Daqin. If you hadn't advised your father and formulated a strategy to destroy the six kingdoms , do you think Father will spare you?"

Speaking of this, Shiman couldn't help blushing a little, thinking of how many princes and princes bowed down under the pomegranate skirt when she was in her twenties.It turned out that the one I liked was indeed the one with a beard, far-sighted eyes, and mature charm.Even though there is a big difference in age, and even if their identities are so sensitive, they still threw themselves into his broad chest without hesitation...

I still remember how furious my father was that night.One is my beloved baby daughter, and the other is the invincible minister of the humerus in the art of war. The age difference between the two is more than 20 years old, and they have an affair...

Sweeping the heavens and looking down on the world, the first emperor killed people like hemp, but there was nothing he could do about it. He could only find an excuse to send his daughter to the Jingshui Palace to avoid the public opinion.And he, chose to resign from the position of Taiwei, retired indifferently, and disappeared without a trace, just to meet Xiaojiao's wife secretly...

The past, how sweet!

Cough!

At some point, a slightly aged cough sounded behind him.The woman was startled suddenly, she turned her head and saw a white-haired old man standing behind her, she couldn't help but blushed a little.A little embarrassed, he asked, "When did Uncle Li arrive?"

The old man smiled and said: "It's been a while, I'm bothering you! By the way, Shiman, don't call me that in the future, otherwise your brother Liao will be a generation shorter than me."

"When did Li Xiang become disrespectful?" Shiman blushed pretty, and said angrily, "I'm Ziye's aunt, and you are her grandfather. It's not bad to call you that. But since I got married This dead old man always makes me so embarrassed!"

This is probably the depression of old couples and young wives!

Having said that, the three looked at each other and laughed.Shiman's pretty face was blushing, and she said: "Tell me! I brought someone to clean up the house, is it safe here? Will Zhao Gao...?"

Both old men insisted: "Safe, the most dangerous place is the safest. Zhao Gao has not seen you for two years, and he has probably given up. Besides, how could he have thought that we would dare to come back here openly?"

Shiman is well educated and reasonable, knowing that Fulang and Li Xiangding have important matters to discuss, so she left as soon as possible.

Seeing Shiman's back disappearing at the gate of the courtyard, the faces of the two old men sank in unison, and the relaxed and freehand look just now was gone, replaced by a sad expression.

"You didn't tell her?" the white-haired old man asked in a low voice.

The long-bearded man nodded slightly: "No, we men should be responsible for these things, and I don't want her to worry too much."

The white-haired old man couldn't help sighing: "The world is unpredictable. Who would have imagined that Julu would be defeated! Zhang Han is also considered a wise man all his life, so how can he be so confused when he is old? Think back when Wang Jian first destroyed Zhao State, in Handan, Julu, and Shangdang How high-spirited, and now his grandson has committed suicide on the same land."

The long-bearded man said: "Zhang Han's arrangement is too wishful thinking, maybe he should be reminded earlier, alas! I never expected that the defeat would be so tragic."

The white-haired old man sighed: "Is the sky going to destroy my Daqin? Seeing that Xianyang's arrangement is almost completed, and the sword traitors are about to be wiped out. When the internal affairs are stabilized, Julu is defeated. Is Daqin really hopeless?"

The long-bearded man shook his head and said: "It's not that there is nothing wrong with Xianyang's arrangements. I have ordered the doormen lurking in Yan Le's mansion. Let him persuade Yan Le to offer advice to Zhao Gao, kill Hu Hai and make Ziying King of Qin!"

"Establish Ziying as the King of Qin?" The white-haired old man smiled wryly and understood what brother Liao meant.

"The Great Qin Empire has fallen apart. The only plan for now is to find a way to keep the old place in Guanzhong, and then make a plan! After all, our goal is to eradicate the traitors and help Ziying ascend the throne. Let Zhao Gao help us."

"Isn't the baby in danger?" Concerned about it, the white-haired old man is very concerned about the safety of his grandson.

The long-bearded man shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Ziying is the eldest grandson of the first emperor. Zhao Gao has not dared to touch him for so long, let alone now? After killing Huhai, Ziying is the only one in the royal family. How could Zhao Gao be willing to hurt himself?" The puppet of Zhao Gao. If we plan to take advantage of the situation and kill Zhao Gao, we will be able to regain power!"

The white-haired old man nodded reassuringly, and asked again: "Where is Zhao Guo? Zhang Han?"

The long-bearded man said: "Zhang Han's approach is correct, stick to the confrontation, and then retreat to Guanzhong after Xu Tu's plan. According to the dangerous terrain of Hangu Pass, guard the old place in Guanzhong. Just like in the past against the six kingdoms, it is a pity that the Great Qin is no longer what it used to be Great Qin."

The former number one power, within two or three years, became devastated, smoky, and even precarious.For them who participated in the whole process, created the prosperity and glory of the Qin State, and witnessed the decline and fragmentation of the Qin State with their own eyes, what a miserable thing to bet on!

The white-haired old man sighed: "For the current plan, this is the only way to go! I hope that God will bless me and leave a glimmer of life for Daqin."

The man with long beard said: "Zhang Han sent Sima Xin to Xianyang, but Zhao Gao refused to see him, and must have committed murder. We can only save Sima Xin and put him under house arrest for a few days, otherwise Zhang Han will inevitably despair when he hears the news. He has 20 people in his hands, if... if he surrenders, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Zhang Han surrendered?The white-haired old man was shocked suddenly. If this was the case, it would undoubtedly be a nightmare for the surviving Qin State.

The long-bearded man said: "So, the only way to do it quickly is to kill Hu Hai and Zhao Gao. Fuziying will be promoted, and Xianyang will be changed to a new sky, so that Zhang Han and the soldiers can be given hope and let them come back!" Everything is only possible, he There is no 100% certainty, this is the last hope, and we can only do our best and obey the destiny.

After a slight pause, he continued: "I have already arranged manpower to do it, so just wait here for the news!"

------------

Sima Xin returned to Xianyang under the order of Zhang Han, in order to explain to Qin II and Zhao Gao, to inquire about the news of Xianyang, and to ask for assistance.

However, for three full days, Zhao Gao put on airs and refused to see him.

Sima Xin also insinuated, heard the news from other channels, Zhao Gao was very dissatisfied with them, and even put all the responsibility for Julu's defeat on Zhang Han.

Although there was Zhang Ping's stupid delay, Zhang Han cannot be blamed for it all.Sima Xin didn't understand, who on earth spread the news to Guanzhong, causing disturbances in Xianyang?

At this moment, Sima Xin walked back and forth in the room, restless.Holding a piece of white silk in his hand, he read it over and over again, and it read: Zhao Gao wants to do harm, go away!

Sima Xin didn't know who sent it?When he came back in the evening, he put it in his room. He guessed that some honest official in Xianyang helped secretly.In the past few days, many people have secretly helped and sent messages.Fearing that they would be caught by Zhao Gao, they were extra cautious. There are many anonymous people, and it may be the same today.

According to the current situation, Zhao Gao did have the possibility of killing himself, Sima Xin thought twice, it is better to leave overnight.For the sake of caution, he did not go back the same way, but followed another road, preparing to leave Xianyang, leave Hangu Pass, and return to Jiyuan.

Fortunately, shortly after Sima Xin left, a group of brown-clothed riders broke into Sima Xin's temporary residence, threatening to arrest him.

It's a pity that the building was empty and nothing was found.

A man came out disappointed. Under the light of the torch, a terrible scar on his cheek was particularly conspicuous. "Fifth brother, he's gone!"

The leading young man couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Old Ninth, quickly lead people to chase after him!"

If Sima Xin knew, he would definitely be thankful that he had planned ahead and changed his route in time to avoid the pursuers.However, this was not the case in fact. When he walked through a forest with more than a dozen close followers, a group of people had already arrived here.

"General Sima, come with us!"

"Zhao Gao really hurt me!" Sima Xin sighed helplessly, Jiyuan would never go back, I hope the general will be careful.

Just when Sima Xin was in despair, another group of black-clothed warriors suddenly appeared.Continuous crossbow arrows flew past, suppressing the pursuers who blocked Sima Xin, giving him hope again.

Only one of them shouted: "I am escorted by the master's order, General Sima, let's go!"

In a panic, Sima Xin didn't care to think about who would save him.Not daring to hesitate in the slightest, he immediately galloped over without looking back, galloping towards Hangu Pass, towards Jiyuan...

　Tell me about the identities of these two old men!Shiman said that the white-haired old man is Ziye's grandfather, and Ziye's uncle is Li You, the prefect of Sanchuan, so who is the white-haired old man?The long-bearded man once helped Qin Shihuang plan the strategy of destroying the six kingdoms.
