Daqin Engineering Corps

"Only a few villages outside the city of Taiyuan had outbreaks."

"Taiyuan soldiers have sealed it off, so it is expected that it will not spread to Handan."

Shen Bing said "Oh" again, feeling a little surprised, the Qin people knew how to prevent the epidemic.

In fact, this is rare and strange for Shen Bing.

In ancient times, due to low productivity and long-term battles, death from starvation, illness, and battles was common, and corpses were piled up randomly, so plagues also occurred from time to time.

As the saying goes, "a long illness makes a good doctor", and the common people will know some preventive methods after visiting a few more times.

For example, sealing off, or smoking and roasting...

Of course, they don't know what virus it is, let alone how it is transmitted.

They simply attribute it to evil spirits, thinking that isolation and smoking can get rid of evil spirits.

This custom has been passed down to the present, and some places still maintain it in modern times, such as going to jail or encountering bad strange things, and you have to step over the brazier before entering the house.

At this time, a group of people came from afar.

This team of horses and horses can be seen at a glance as unusual, because they are all strong men and superb riding skills.

Shen Bing has been practicing horsemanship every day during this period, so he can understand a little bit. They seem to be very natural and not nervous at all when riding on the horse, which shows that the rider is already able to control the horse freely.

In particular, although the members of this team were dressed in casual clothes, all of them had bronze swords on their waists.

Although some wealthy people in this era will wear bronze swords for self-defense, such neat ones are rare.

When the pedestrians got closer and closer, Shen Bing discovered that the group of people was guarding a carriage in the middle.

When Ren saw the battle, he became a little nervous, and hurriedly waved a small flag towards the tower.

Jiang and the others immediately stopped what they were doing and picked up their bows and crossbows one after another to get ready at the top of the city.

Ren led two soldiers to stand in front of the city gate, and after the convoy stopped, he asked loudly:

"Who is coming? Sign up to come!"

A big man in the lead just cupped his fists at Ren right away and said:

"We are the envoys of Yan State, and we are rushing to Xianyang."

"Passing through this place and staying in the city for one night, and replenishing some food and grass, this is an ultimatum."

Speaking of which, some servants sent up some bamboo slips.

The so-called ultimatum is the customs clearance document of foreign envoys, which is of course different from the inspection and transmission held by the Qin people.

The ultimatum will indicate the identity of the envoy and who he is going to meet. If there is any specific matter, you can not specify it, but you must have the seal and proof of passing through the gates along the way.

The envoys even had the privilege of bringing weapons into the city.

This is necessary. After all, there are bandits everywhere in this troubled world. If the envoy has no self-defense personnel and equipment, let alone Xianyang, he may not even be able to leave his own country.

Ren didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite the censor to come down to check the seal.

After the inspection was correct, Ren immediately waved the flag to disarm the tower, and the supervisor returned the certificate to let him go.

Shen Bing only thought this procedure was quite interesting, and didn't take it too seriously.

However, after the group of people entered the city, they heard a "chuck" from Ren:

"Don't look at their majestic appearance."

"Are you afraid that we will go to the king to ask for peace?"

When Shen Bing heard it, why is this so familiar?

Envoys from the Kingdom of Yan went to Xianyang to ask for peace?

Then I was startled, and hurriedly asked Ren:

"Do you know the name of this messenger?"

Ren shook his head:

"The subordinates didn't take a closer look, and the supervisor should know about it."

Then Ren shouted to the supervisor who was about to leave.

The censor replied:

"There are two envoys, one named Jing named Ke, and the other named Nie Gai."

"Is the engineer acquainted with these two?"

Shen Bing's head went into chaos after "coaxing".

What's the situation?

Jing Ke Assassins Qin?

Isn't there still a few years left?

However, Shen Bing turned around and thought:

If you advance the time to destroy Zhao.

They also produced waterwheels, overturned carts, etc., which greatly shortened the four-year preparation time for Qin in Zhao.

Then why do other countries still follow the rules and develop step by step according to historical time?

Wait until the time is up for a few years to assassinate Qin, I am afraid that the country of Yan has been wiped out several times!

After thinking about it this way, Shen Bing understood.

But to assassinate Qin, let him assassinate Qin, let him go, he will not succeed anyway.

But Shen Bing soon felt something was wrong. Wasn't Qin Wuyang the assistant that Jing Ke brought?

Shen Bing vaguely remembered such a joke:

Before Jing Ke left, he had been waiting for someone, but Prince Dan couldn't wait, so he sent Qin Wuyang as his assistant.

But it was Qin Wuyang's timidity at the critical moment that made Ying Zheng suspicious, so he escaped.

nowadays……

Qin Wuyang didn't come, does that mean that Jing Ke waited for his assistant?

This is so special!

What if Jing Ke successfully assassinated Ying Zheng?

Shen Bing didn't know what would happen, because history had never played out like this.

But Shen Bing was sure that if Ying Zheng fell, then Qin's political situation would definitely be in chaos for a while.

At this time, the son Fusu should be only in his teens, and he has no experience in governing the country at all. The Four Kingdoms will definitely take this opportunity to embarrass Qin.

Although the general situation will not change, but at present... Wang Jian's army of more than [-] is at the forefront.

In the land of the three counties, there are Xiongnu in the north, Yanqi in the east, and Wei State in the south.

Although Qin land is connected to the west, as long as Wei Guo sends his troops northward to attack a mere few tens of miles, Wang Jian's army can be surrounded here to death.

In addition, the remnants of Zhao Guoxin's extermination still exist and the people's hearts are not stable...

I'll go, the more Shen Bing thought about it, the more afraid he became.

No, Jing Ke cannot be allowed to go to Xianyang.

Since you entered Handan City by accident, don't even think about leaving.

Chapter 100 由头

It seemed easy to get rid of Jing Ke.

This Jing Ke is in Handan City, Shen Bing can easily find out which inn he stayed in, and even which room he went to in detail...

There are also soldiers of the Qin Army everywhere around. If you want to do it, Jing Ke and the others are not enough to practice.

However, Shen Bing couldn't do anything.

"The envoys will not be beheaded when the two countries are at war" is not casually said, the procedures, official documents, etc. are all available, and it is also explained that they are going to Xianyang to give gifts.

If Jing Ke was slaughtered hastily, not to mention Wang Jian's disobedience to the soldiers' disobedience, if Ying Zheng knew about it, he might not let it go:

You kid has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!

Do you dare to snatch the gift that Yan Guo gave to the widow?

Do you want to die?

At that time, I am afraid that the Zhu Jiu Clan will not be able to relieve their hatred, and they will still Ling Chi... Then Shen Bing will be wronged.

So Shen Bing was helpless.

Even if he knew that Jing Ke was called giving gifts, he was actually an assassin.

Tell Wang Jian or Yang Duanhe directly?

Even if it is found that Jing Ke has a problem, he only needs to ask one sentence:

How do you, Shen Bing, know?

Are you also involved?

Inappropriate. Inappropriate.

This murderous crime is no joke.

Shen Bing walked around in the tent anxiously.

He also thought that Jing Ke would only stay in Handan for one night, and would leave the city for Xianyang early in the morning, and then there would be nothing he could do about him.

At this time, Zhang Xuan lifted the curtain and came in. Seeing Shen Bing like this, he asked suspiciously:

"Why is the engineer in such a hurry?"

Shen Bing didn't dare to say what it was, so he could only reply:

"It's nothing, it's just that we encountered some difficulties in farming."

Zhang Xuan smiled:

"Let the engineer worry."

"Workers are needed both inside and outside the city."

"If engineers can't solve it, I'm afraid no one can solve it."

In other words, Zhang Xuan really admires Shen Bing.

Before planning to kill Li Mu, Zhang Xuan was one of the few insiders. At this time, Shen Bing easily solved the drought and the problems of the people in the three counties, and Zhang Xuan was shocked by Shen Bing.

In addition, Shen Bing is Wang Jian and Yang Duan and the celebrities around him, so although his official position is higher than Shen Bing's, he dare not put on airs in front of Shen Bing.

Shen Bing could only reciprocate with a wry smile.

After thinking about it, Shen Bing asked cautiously:

"Two to five hundred masters, if there is any suspicion of harboring bandits, it is inconvenient to search."

"I wonder if there is a solution?"

Zhang Xuan replied without thinking:

"It's simple, just find a reason for the search!"

"I don't know which family the engineer suspects is harboring bandits?"

Shen Bing let out an "oh", secretly thinking that there might be something going on.

Zhang Xuan didn't know that those people were the envoys of the Yan Kingdom, so why didn't he pretend not to know.

So he replied:

"It's not any family, but when I passed Xiangyun Inn today, I saw a few people acting suspiciously."

"It is said... that inn seems to be arranged by the county lieutenant."
