Chapter 310
The station at the foot of the mountain.

There was no one in the empty room, and there was still a slight residual temperature in the stove on the table. It was obvious that the person had just left.

Doctor Zhong Lingqi stood in the room, frowning, and got the news that all the spies had been removed from the snares he had arranged in advance.

Ling Qi had already patted his chest in front of Lai Ai to guarantee that now, not only had Zhao Shuang not been caught, but what was even more troublesome was that once he was allowed to escape and gather troops, it would be quite troublesome.

"Quickly send spies to search the surrounding roads, and we must find Zhao Shuang and his hundred guards."

Ling Qi gave an order, but he heard the sound of horns in the distance.

"what happened?"

The soldiers hurried in and reported the enemy's situation in the rear.

"Doctor Zhong, Lord Hanyang's guards attacked the heavy soldiers behind us and burned all the food and grass."

"what?"

Ling Qi couldn't believe it, until he walked out of the house and saw the black smoke rising in the distance, he didn't realize what had really happened.He grabbed the soldier who delivered the order and questioned him.

"I have deployed two hundred heavy soldiers there, and I have chariots and crossbowmen guarding them. How could this be?"

"Our soldiers are not their opponents at all. They fired arrows two hundred steps away. The crossbowmen had no time to respond and were shot one by one. After they rushed in from the mountain road, they left after setting fire. Can't catch up."

In order to increase the speed of marching as soon as possible, Ling Qi asked his soldiers to pack lightly, and only brought the necessary equipment and half a day's rations. The rest of the supplies were escorted by the heavy soldiers from behind.

These materials are now destroyed, and it will take a day to arrive at the nearest supply point.

Let the soldiers starve, but it will blow up the camp.

"Search, is there any extra food and grass in this station?"

Generally speaking, such a large post station will definitely store a lot of supplies for the needs of travel.After Ling Qi's men brought the news that the warehouse was full of grain, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Zhao Shuang had only a hundred guards around him, and he had no time to destroy or transfer the food and grass in the station.

With these food and grass, Ling Qi's breath became thicker.

"Use this as a base to search for Zhao Shuang's traces. He doesn't have many horses, so he can't go very far."

"promise!"

Blood dripped from the blades, and the road was strewn with the corpses of the snare assassins.

After running wildly for several hours, the Maxima that Mr. Changping sat down couldn't stand it anymore.Just when he was about to reach the fiefdom, a group of snare assassins came out.

Looking at the Chollima lying in a pool of blood, Mr. Changping slowly squatted down, letting the horse that had followed him for a long time rest in peace.

"Your Majesty, we are only a few miles away from the fief, but the horses have been destroyed by the assassins who snare us, what should we do?"

Standing in front of him was an old slave who had been with Lord Changping for many years. He was a native of Chu. He followed the prince of Chu from Chu to Qin, and then stayed with Lord Changping.

Mr. Changping's hair was a little messy, and it was stained with a lot of blood.Galloping between life and death, Mr. Changping finally felt a sense of oppression, which is completely different from the intrigue in court. As long as he relaxes lightly, he will lose his life.

"It's really not an easy thing to fight against the net."

Mr. Changping is like an ordinary farmer, sitting on a rock, with no regard for etiquette.

"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. The signal has been sent, and the reinforcements will arrive soon."

The old slave comforted him, but he heard Mr. Changping smile.

"I'm afraid the reinforcements won't come."

"What does your majesty mean?"

"Because this lord has already secretly ordered several generals under him to rush to Qinian Palace with reinforcements."

The old slave's face changed, and he was a little confused.

"In that case, why did your majesty rush back here?"

"There are several roads from Qinian Palace to my fiefdom. Even my personal guards don't know which way I will take before I set off. How can Luo Wang arrange so many forces here to block it?"

"What does your majesty mean?"

"There are traitors in the net around me."

As soon as Mr. Changping said this, the old slave's face became a little gloomy, and his voice was lowered a bit.

"Does your lord know who the traitor is?"

"I remember that I only told you this matter!"

Mr. Changping smiled, and the old slave slowed down, his stooped figure straightened up immediately, and he drew a dagger from his waist.

"Several months ago, I discovered that the old slave who followed me was a little abnormal. Although he was able to complete the task I assigned very well, there were some mistakes in some details. You are a very good assassin, but unfortunately you only It can."

"Since your majesty already knows that I am a trap, why did you let me stay by your side?"

"If not, how can Luo Wang feel relieved that he knows my movements; otherwise, how can I avenge my old servant who has been with me for many years!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge him!"

The assassin who caught the net rushed up brandishing a dagger, but at this time, there was no one around Mr. Changping who was closer to him than this assassin.

It's just that Mr. Changping didn't move at all, and the assassin inexplicably stopped on the way to charge, unable to move at all.

The Zhu family wiped off his sweat, and walked out from the side, with a blue mask of worry on his face.

"Your Majesty, it was really dangerous just now."

"With you here, the snare can't hurt me."

Mr. Changping's words changed the Zhu family's mask from blue to bright red.

"Your Majesty is really ashamed of me for saying that. The brothers from the farm family have already arrived, and Lord Changwen will be guarded by Xia Kui himself. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Mr. Changping nodded, with some worry on his face.

"Lao Ai's troops are much larger than I imagined. This war may be more troublesome than originally planned."

"My lord, I have some doubts."

"what?"

"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the leader of the Mo family is close to Lord Hanyang, but why is there no Mo family in this battle? According to the order of the emperor, only Xia Kui and I came with dozens of elite disciples. Even if they are hidden, the changes of the peasant family will still leave some traces on the rivers and lakes. But there is no movement at all on the side of the Mo family, which is really strange!"

"Perhaps the rumors in the Jianghu are wrong, and the relationship between Zhao Shuang and the Mohists is more complicated than imagined. Or maybe, Zhao Shuang thinks that the Mohism will not be needed in this war."

Lord Changping stroked his long beard, expecting more in his heart, the answer was the former.

As night falls, there is a station in the mountains.

The house where Zhao Shuang used to live has been turned into a command room.

Ling Qi waited anxiously for the reports from the spies sent out one by one, so as to confirm Zhao Shuang's whereabouts.

However, several hours have passed, and he still has no answer.

The army had already buried the pot to make food, and the smell wafted in, but Ling Qi didn't have the slightest appetite to eat.

There was a noise in his ears, which made Qi a little annoyed.

"What's the noise!"

I saw a young man walking in slowly with a bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and found a seat to sit down to eat.Beside him, there were two girls who couldn't understand the boy's behavior and rolled their eyes.

"You...it's you!"

Ling Qi rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe what he saw.

Could it be that he wanted to find Zhao Shuang so much that he hallucinated?

Ling Qi pinched his own cheek, it hurt a little, after a moment of astonishment, he shouted with joy on his face.

"Quick... hurry up!"

However, as soon as he spoke, he was knocked down by the two girls beside Zhao Shuang.

"I'm eating, why are you arguing, do you still have meritorious deeds?"

The boy next to him looked at the man who wanted to kill him with a very disgusted look, which made the man feel like he wanted to die.
