Battle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the military god system

Chapter 14 First Arrival in Xianyang
After half a month's journey, Sha Pojun and the others finally arrived at the bustling city of Xianyang.This is the capital of the Qin State and also the home of the Yin-Yang faction.Sha Pojun signaled them to keep a low profile.Their mission here is not to cause trouble, but to kill the sergeant who delivered the imperial decree, and then use the method of Li Daitao to rescue Meng Tian.

Once you enter Xianyang City, you can find that there is a significant difference between this place and other cities outside.The city wall outside the city is tall, and the rows of giant crossbows on the city wall are shining coldly, like giant beasts devouring everything.From time to time outside the city and inside the city, there are soldiers in excellent armor patrolling, heavily guarded.The people in the city are dressed exquisitely, and they all look full of energy.Sha Pojun and the others looked like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden, looking like she came from the countryside.It also attracted disgusted looks from some passers-by.The Xianyang people give Sha Pojun the feeling that they are always superior to others.

There are also quite a few shops in the city. Seeing so many shops, Sha Pojun asked Li Shiqi in surprise, "Do merchants have a high status in Xianyang?"

"My lord, why did you say that?" Li Shiqi stroked his short beard.

"I think Xianyang's business is so prosperous, and the people of Xianyang are so rich, so the status of merchants in Xianyang must not be low. However, I have never heard that Qin State attaches great importance to business. Is there anything special about Xianyang?"

"Xianyang is indeed different from other Qin cities. The prosperity of business here should be attributed to one person, Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei." Li Shiqi said seriously.

"Lv Buwei, I have heard about it. He is an interesting person who has an affair with Qin Shihuang's mother, Queen Mother Zhao." Sha Pojun joked.

"This is not an ordinary affair. The Empress Dowager Zhao turned out to be the singer of Lu Buwei's mansion, and she had a relationship with Lu Buwei. Later, Prince Chu of Qin Zhuangxiang was a guest at Lu Buwei's mansion, and found that the singing girl was charming, so she asked Lu Buwei for advice. I want this singer." Li Shiqi smacked his lips and smiled meaningfully: "The result is that King Qin Zhuangxiang wore a cuckold, and he didn't know that his friend brought it to him until his death."

"In other words, Qin Shihuang is not a descendant of the Qin royal family. That is really ironic." Zhou Tong interjected.

"No one is destined to be an emperor at birth. Royal blood is not noble from the beginning of human birth, but sublimated through the efforts of generations. Zhou Tong Jinzi, if you have dreams, and work hard for them , then your descendants will also be said to have noble blood." Sha Pojun slowly said what he thought in his heart.

"My Lord said that only with dreams can there be tomorrow. Without dreams, what is the difference between us and salted fish." Li Shiqi nodded in agreement.

"Brother Shiqi is still so humorous! Let's find the foothold of the vertical and horizontal faction in the imperial capital first."

"It's important, my lord, come with me." Li Shiqi didn't dare to delay on such matters.

While talking, Li Shiqi led Sha Pojun and others to a rice shop in the east of the city.I saw a sign on this rice shop saying: There is a rice shop.There were several bags of brown rice piled at the door, and the rice shop clerk was taking a nap on the table just outside the door.Li Shiqi walked up to the waiter, patted the table, and shouted, "Young man, where is your boss?"

The guy was woken up by the sound of the table being slapped, and said sleepily, "Brown rice costs twenty dollars a catty, and polished rice costs a hundred dollars a catty. Buy it or not."

Sha Pojun was amused, is this kid in business?It is simply a pit boss.If the boss knows, don't kill this kid.

Li Shiqi was also embarrassed, this kid didn't look like a business man.And he didn't come to buy rice. Doesn't that mean they are going to leave in disgrace?Li Shiqi looked at his lord, and then said to the waiter: "This little brother, we are your boss's old friends. We contacted him some time ago and said that he recently came to see him. If you can please inform me, I will say that my old friend Li Shiqi its visit."

"I'm not free, I didn't see that I was sleeping! If you don't buy rice, get out, a bunch of country bumpkins, Xianyang is not where you should come." The boy was furious after being woken up, but now he heard that The rice buyer looked closely at a group of bumpkins from the countryside, who must have come to seek refuge with the boss, so how could they have a good face, and immediately cursed angrily.

Zhou Tong, Jin Zi and the others looked ugly, and they suddenly had the urge to draw their swords.Sha Pojun held Zhou Tong down, and said to the embarrassed Li Shiqi in a low voice: "Brother Shiqi, it seems that your Zongheng faction is doing well in Xianyang. Even the boys in the shop under your name can be so strong. It's not easy."

Li Shiqi covered his face to hide his ugly expression, and said to Sha Pojun, "My lord, don't make fun of me now."

"Let me do it, your gentleness is useless to this kind of villain." Saying this, Sha Pojun grabbed the boy and lifted him up.Angrily said: "Call your boss, otherwise you won't see the sun tomorrow."

The guy was so frightened that he pissed, and quickly responded: "Hero, please forgive me, I will inform the boss immediately."

Sha Pojun threw the guy on the ground, and shouted domineeringly: "Get lost! Tell your boss." He pressed his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.He looked at the boy sharply.

The little boy ran to the inner room and shouted hoarsely: "Boss Wang, help me! Kill me!"

A strong voice came from the inner room: "Who dares to run wild on my king's land." As he spoke, the mountains shook, and a woman with a huge ax emerged from the inner room.

Li Shiqi's eyelids twitched when he saw the person coming. He didn't expect that the connector, Wang Busha, was such a tough woman.Sha Pojun and others felt frightened.There are such strange women in the world.

Li Shiqi took out a wooden token engraved with a unicorn from his arms and threw it to Wang Busha.Wang Busha looked at the token and patted Li Shiqi's small body readily, and said, "I didn't expect that you, a little boy, would be the current head of the sect. I heard that you came to the emperor to ask us to help you kill and pass the imperial decree to Meng Tian." soldiers."

Li Shiqi coughed a few times, avoiding Wang Busha's warm greeting.He replied: "I want you to help us kill the edict soldiers. Is there any news now?"

"Not yet, how can you be so sure that they will pass the decree to kill Meng Tian instead of killing Meng Tian directly. Some time ago, Meng's family has been ransacked and beheaded. If you want to kill Meng Tian, ​​why do you have to do it so many times?" Wang Busha looked at it in surprise. Take Li Shiqi.

"Presumably Zhao Gao and the others had an imperial edict to kill the Meng family. The Meng family can be said to be the largest family with foreign surnames in Qin State, and the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi are the heads of civil servants and military generals. Now Zhao Gao and others have killed Meng Yi on the charge of treason. As for the members of the Meng family in the imperial capital, how could they release Meng Tian who was imprisoned in Yang Zhou? What is certain is that they will definitely kill Meng Tian and give him death in the form of an imperial decree. Otherwise, they will not be able to silence everyone." Lie Shi Qi analyzed.

"Okay, I'll inform the brothers in the palace, Li Si, and Zhao Gao's house to pay more attention." Wang Busha looked at Li Shiqi's hesitant look and smiled: "Don't worry, door master." , The strength of our Zongheng faction in the imperial capital is second only to the Yin-Yang faction and the Legalists. As long as what happens in the imperial capital, even extremely secret things, cannot escape our eyes and ears. You just sit here and wait for the news."

Wang Busha smiled and said: "Master, you have come from a long way, let me take care of you."

Li Shiqi didn't shirk, and agreed.A few people went to the tavern in Xianyang City to get drunk.
