It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

A maid, whose hair and shawl were stained with blood, was taken away shivering.

Mi You died in a coma.

The Chu State guards and imperial doctors filled the Ruan Hua Hall in the palace.

An hour later, Mi You's internal officer sighed from behind the heavy curtain.

"Your Majesty! You finally woke up. Fortunately, you are fine."

No one knows what just happened.

After calming down for a while, a leading guard said to the guards: "At that time, only Princess Yong'an of Qin State and Young Master Fuchu were in the palace."

"Bold!" The guard raised his hand, and the guard immediately shut his mouth.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess and this young master happened to pass by each other, how dare you start talking nonsense?!"

That Fu Chu dared to drag her to this palace intentionally meant that Fu Chu arranged a large number of his own people in this palace.

She remembered the last words Mi You said to her - he didn't want to be king.

A King of Chu who is willing to be a puppet and a King of Chu who is full of ambition.

The latter was very determined to control the Chu people's resistance, so Qin certainly needed the former.

"My princess came all the way to Chendi because she wanted to be on good terms with Qin. But the Chu State can't even guarantee the safety of King Chu?"

He bowed his head and said, "I will investigate Brother Wang's matter and give an explanation to the princess."

He asked Hehua to show a very concerned smile and said, "Your Highness, Princess, is tired. Please go back to the palace to rest first."

On the night Mi You was assassinated and seriously injured.

Xiang Yan, who was far away on the north bank of the Xiang River, received a letter from the prince of the royal family.

The Xiang family and the royal family surnamed Mi are firmly united.

For Fu Chu, winning over Xiang Yan is the biggest guarantee for him to ascend to the throne. Once Xiang Yan wavers, it will become difficult to change the throne.

As for the Chu State, there were very few princes in the past dynasties who successfully ascended the throne in accordance with etiquette and rules.

For the clan, it is most important to support a son who is in line with the interests of its fiefdom and ensure that the family interests are maintained from generation to generation.

Therefore, among the old clans, the reason why Fu Chu has this confidence is because he has contacted the Jing clan, one of the three major clans that owns a large number of fiefdoms.

Among Qu Jingzhao.

The Zhao family has always been the most able to adapt to the changing circumstances. Even though Mi You and the priest compromised each other to help rise to power, for the old Ling Yin, they would support whoever could bring them the greatest benefit.

But now, for Yin Zhaoyang, the magistrate of Chu State, it is obviously more profitable to be Mi You's minister.

Xiangwan Palace

Azhi closed the palace door and secret guards lurked in the middle hall at night.

The secret guard still wears the hard, silver matte armor.

He didn't say much, handed the letter to Xu Zhi personally, and left quickly.

Azhi took the secret letter from Xu Zhi's hand, which was a map.

"Princess, Inspector Li has properly handled Chengfu's deployment. As you expected, Lord Changping went to Chengfu. If he has any objections, Wang Ben's army in Daliang can immediately go south to encircle and eliminate them."

Despite Xu Zhi's joy, the souls of a thousand Wei soldiers still lingered like phantom iron chains.

She also knows that this is just the beginning.

The killing is just the beginning, more people will die under the blade.

Xu Zhi cut off the wicks of the candles one by one, watching the lights in the hall become dimmer.

"Is there any letter from Daliang?"

"General Wang Ben wrote back saying that he was grateful for the princess's kindness. The Qin army entered the Daliang Palace to clean up the mess."

The flickering light flickered on her cheek.

Xu Zhi asked: "How is King Wei?"

"Young Master Jiu and all the officials came out to surrender, and the people were all at peace."

"Can he talk to Zheng Guo?"

A Zhi said: "I heard that there was a notice from the land of Wei saying: The water will be gathered into fields and turned into good acreage to benefit the people of Wei. I think Master Jiu has listened to the princess's words."

Xu Zhi nodded, "Agriculture and water conservancy are inseparable. After Wei became the land of Qin, I would be relieved if Wei Jiu had friends with Zheng all the year round."

Azhi was slightly stunned, saying it as if the little princess didn't want to return to Qin.

"No more news?"

"...Mr. Zhang Liang and Chen Ping should assist General Wang Ben in Daliang."

The wick of the last candle lamp was cut off by Xu Zhi. She didn't hear the news she wanted to hear, that he had written to her, or that he had answered her letter.

The moonlight shines into the land of Chu, soft and broken, melting the coldness of Qin Feng.

Azhi comforted him: "Sir, he must be busy with work, so he didn't write to you."

Xu Zhi looked at the melting moonlight outside the window, and a candle heart emitted a faint light in the night.

"I insist on coming to Chu. If others don't understand, he will understand."

Ah Zhi gathered the thin cloak around Xu Zhi's body.

"Princess, although there are deviations in Daliang, there is no danger. Your Majesty will not punish you. According to the plan, we will return to Qin in two months, and the princess will not be engaged by then."

"Every time I think like this, what happened in Xinzheng Palace always comes to my mind, and now I think of my order on the mountain col."

"Princess, the situation is like this. If not, Princess, the Wei-Chu alliance will be a serious danger to Qin."

Xu Zhi felt dizzy from time to time.

She couldn't tell whether she was Ying Hehua or Xu Zhi.

If she were Ying Hehua, it would be impossible for her to tolerate Zhang Liang, let alone fall in love.

Xu Zhi was a little afraid to look at the moonlight. It seemed that she had been with Wei Liao and Li Si for a long time. She began to learn threats and disguises and integrated them, just like she had just faced Fu Chu.

Zhang Liang hated killing.

Sometimes, she would rather he hate her as before, and she also expects him to love her.

In the Chu King's chamber not far away, Mi You's chest and abdomen were wrapped with thick white gauze. She had just been given the golden sore medicine and could not move around yet.

The curly-haired women inside the tent are all well-dressed and beautiful.

"Your Majesty, are you still in pain?"

"Good luck. Stop crying."

Mrs. Rong was born in the Zhao family.

"I thought I was going to die, but I didn't know they spared my life."

"Your Majesty, your lucky person has your own destiny."

Zhaorong tucked Mi You's quilt and decided to go meet the princess of Qin who was about to become the queen.

When Wei Jiu was in Daliang Palace for ten days, Chen Ping was by his side.

Chen Ping came to the treasury of Wei State's Zhi Su Neishi Palace. The existing goods and grain of Wei State were in the treasury. Chen Ping also found the notes of Li Kui, the prime minister of Wei Wenhou.

The notebook is worn out, but fortunately the treasury is located on a high ground and is not susceptible to moisture, so the handwriting can still be read clearly.

——Food is due to hard work and salary is due to merit. If you are capable, you must be rewarded and punished.

Chen Ping quickly turned over the bamboo slips covered under the scroll. They were all left behind by Li Kui. Li Kui was a famous figure in various countries a hundred years ago.

"Try your best to get the best results." It was not a simple description but a detailed explanation with case explanations. Chen Ping was almost excited, "Can you check it carefully?"

The domestic history of Wei bowed and said, "You can do as you please."

Li Kui was the predecessor of Shang Yang and Shen Buhai. What he left behind should be of great use in the Qin State that respected law. Chen Ping ordered people to seal up these libraries and bring them back to Xianyang.

It was precisely because Chen Ping brought Li Kui's slips back to Qin this time that he won the favor of many Legalist courtiers, including Li Si.

Chen Ping walked into the side room of Wei Jiu's guest house. Zhang Liang was lying on the couch peacefully. He had been unconscious for more than ten days since he brought him back.

When Chen Ping came in, the maid quickly took away the copper basin.

Although Mo Qi's medical skills are not as good as Bian Que's, they have already surpassed the level of ordinary doctors due to his many years of working together in the Qin State and the years of dedicated research in Zhongnan Mountain.

Chen Ping sat on the edge of the couch and asked with concern, "Mr. Mo, you haven't said anything to me these days when I ask you. Today I really can't hold it in any longer. Please tell me how Mr. Zhang is doing?"

Mo Qi didn't say anything immediately, silently closed her sleeves and closed the wooden box with a red cross on it.

Chen Ping caught a glimpse of many strange needles and scissors inside.

Mo Qi looked at the young and handsome Chen Ping in front of her, "I tell Master Chen, what do you want?"

Chen Ping said anxiously: "I should quickly write this matter into a letter and pass it on to Xianyang."

Mo Qi stood up, turned around and said calmly: "I don't think you want to return to Xianyang, but to go to Chu. Are you afraid that the old commander Yin of Chu will know what Princess Yong'an sent you to do in Wei, which will endanger the safety of the princess in Chu? ?"

Chen Ping was shocked. He didn't say anything yet. He was sure that he hadn't revealed anything. How could Mo Qi know everything?

Ying Hehua warned Chen Ping that no matter what happened to Daliang, she wanted him to tell her everything that happened. Before leaving, she said she would plead guilty first. If she found out about it later, he would be miserable and walk away.

"Why did you say this, sir?"

"Chen Di is not far from Daliang, and the message can be delivered within half a day. To save Zhang Liang, we must first find the Yan man."

Chen Ping suddenly understood.

"I'll take care of this immediately."

-

Tian Guang sent a letter revealing danger to Zhang Ping, who was returning home (Chengfu) to visit relatives.

[Zhang Liang's fate is hanging in the balance in Daliang. Today, Yong'an envoy Chen Ping is his deputy, and Li Si is in charge of Yingchuan County on the orders of the King of Qin. You and I have an old friendship. My son was under investigation by the Qin people and came here to tell me. 】

Zhang Ping was stunned immediately and almost fainted.

Zhang Yuan raised his sword and was about to go out.

"stop!"

"Father."

The Zhang Mansion is located in the middle of the Xianyang lane. At that time, it was thought that this was a courtesy to the Zhang family, but now it seems that everything is just for surveillance.
