Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

There is no doubt that the most important thing for these farmers is time. If they delay, they will lose their lives. At the same time, the county lieutenant in charge of the escort also looked very unhappy. After all, if he failed to arrive on time, he would be guilty and he could not escape.

At nightfall, when everyone was resting, a figure quietly came to the county lieutenant. After all, it was a group of nearly a thousand farmers, so it was impossible for only one or two people to be responsible for the escort. The escort team also had more than 20 people. However, everyone's face was full of sorrow at this time. After all, delaying time has almost become inevitable.

If the time lost was only one or half a day, we could still find a way to make up for it, even spending some money would be acceptable, but now the time lost is at least ten days, and we can't make it back even if we run ourselves to death.

"Sir, I have something important to report!" Just then, a farmer in ragged clothes and haggard face appeared in front of the county lieutenant. Looking at the appearance of this man, the county lieutenant felt annoyed. If it weren't for this official mission, how could he fall into such a situation? The task of escorting prisoners has never been an easy job. Otherwise, Li Shou would have asked Gao Yao to escort them. He would have gone by himself long ago.

"Sir, what I said is the truth, and perhaps it can help you get out of your current predicament." The farmer said sincerely.

"Oh? Do you know what you are talking about?" The county lieutenant wanted to drive the man away directly, but after hearing this, he hesitated and motioned the farmer to come closer.

"Sir, how dare I deceive you! I only want to save my life. I just learned that the two garrison commanders, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, are unable to reach their destination on time and are preparing to rebel!"

"What!" The county lieutenant was shocked and his face turned pale in an instant.

The county lieutenant was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and cried out in surprise, but then he quickly calmed down and put his knife directly on the neck of the man.

"Bold, do you know what you are saying?"

"A villain dare not lie"

"Hmph, come here, bring Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to me now, I want to interrogate them personally."

"Sir, you absolutely cannot do that. Since the other party has already had this idea, they must have made some preparations. You only have a few people under your command, and there are many people willing to follow Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. If you show any abnormality, you will definitely be attacked by everyone."

"slow......"

After hearing this, the county lieutenant immediately waved his hand to stop the soldiers who were ready to act. There was no other way. This was indeed the truth. If they really led the people like this, what if they caused resistance from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? How could their twenty people be the opponent of hundreds of people? One person throwing a stone would kill them.

"Sir, I have a way to help you. I only ask you to save my life."

"Huh? Say it!"

"Sir, tomorrow you just need to gather everyone and make preparations in advance to lower the other side's vigilance. I will help you prove that the two are planning to rebel. You can have them killed on the spot. As long as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are dead, will the rest dare to disobey your orders? Then you can arrest all those who followed Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to rebel. When the higher-ups hold them accountable, it can be said that the rebellion has been quelled."

"Hmm, hm? Okay, okay, okay, hahahaha... Don't worry, I will definitely protect you after this is over."

Hearing these words from the farmer whom he totally despised, the county lieutenant was extremely excited. However, after this matter succeeded, he would definitely kill the other party.

"Thank you sir"

The next morning, the county lieutenant gathered all the farmers who were involved in this incident and scattered the dozen soldiers under his command around him. He also asked Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others to stand closer to him, and the farmer who came to report yesterday was placed directly next to him.

"Everyone, an ominous omen has occurred, causing us to be delayed. I originally planned to report everything to you in order to give you a chance to survive. However, some people are already dissatisfied with this and are planning to lead everyone in an uprising. This is courting death!"

As soon as the county lieutenant said this, the surrounding farmers immediately began to talk about it. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who were in the front of the crowd, looked a little unhappy. It was obvious that they knew something in advance. When the county lieutenant saw the expressions of the two men, he felt relieved. He also looked at the reactions of the surrounding people and was very satisfied.

"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, I trusted you two so much that I made you two the garrison commanders. Is this how you repay me?"

As the county lieutenant finished speaking, the swords of his soldiers were already on the necks of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, forcing the two men to kneel on the ground.

"It's slander, slander!"

"Humph, I knew you two wouldn't tell the truth. Just tell me everything."

At this time, the county lieutenant looked at the reactions of the people around him and was very satisfied that he had intimidated the farmers around him. Now, as long as he explained the crimes of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, killed them, and arrested some people related to them, this matter would be successful. Maybe he could really be exempted from punishment.

The person pushed out by the county lieutenant was naturally the skinny farmer from last night. After the skinny farmer came to the county lieutenant's side, his next move was beyond everyone's expectations.

The thin farmer suddenly pulled out a dagger from his clothes and stabbed it into the county lieutenant's neck with lightning speed.

"Pfft..."

The county lieutenant never figured out why he died suddenly, and this scene shocked everyone around him, including his subordinates.

"The county lieutenant threatened me to falsely accuse Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of rebellion and kill them so that he could save himself. Although I, Li San, am just a lowly person, I know how to repay kindness and will never frame Chen Sheng and Wu Guang."

Just a few simple words changed the situation completely in an instant. Suddenly, civilians began to rush forward to fight for the weapons in the hands of the soldiers. The soldiers were already in a panic, so how could they fight for so many farmers?

"Kill!" Shouts of killing were heard all around. By the time Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had completely calmed down the crowd, the county lieutenant and a dozen soldiers had all been killed on the spot.

At the same time, everyone's eyes were focused on the two people, and they seemed to be waiting for their actions. At this time, Chen Sheng also remembered that someone had informed him last night that the county lieutenant wanted to harm him and Wu Guang. Chen Sheng did not take it seriously at the time, but he did not expect that this scene would really happen today.

"Everyone has encountered rocks here, and everyone has missed the deadline. According to the regulations, those who are late will be beheaded. Even if they are not beheaded, they will be exhausted to death sooner or later if they continue to guard the border and repair it. Add to that these incompetent officials, how can we talk about a way out. Besides, a real man should not die, but if he dies, he should leave a name for himself in the future. Are the titles of kings, princes, generals and ministers inherited from their ancestors?"
