I and the King of Qin Sweep Liuhe

Chapter 16: Opportunities in Life

Ying Zheng rode his horse through the fields.

It was harvest time, and there were some farmers scattered on the field.The men do heavy work, and the women weave cloth under the trees, pour some water, and deliver meals.

Young children were fighting crickets on the edge of the ridge, and a big yellow dog squatted beside it to sleep.When Ying Zheng's horse approached, it raised its head vigilantly, its ears pricked up.

Yingzheng got off his horse and picked up an ear of millet that had been left behind by the edge of the ridge.The children stared at him intently. From clothes to jade ornaments, from hair tips to fingertips, everything about this man is really precious.The children wanted to talk to him, but they dared not.

A faint smoke rose from the wilderness, far into the depths of the clouds.

If it weren't for the gold and iron horses outside, lying dead for thousands of miles, at a glance, I would think that everything in this world would be such a quiet scene.

Ying Zheng rubbed the millet in his hand and took a grain in his mouth.

It has no taste, but it is a bit astringent when it is crushed.

A child said: "That can't be eaten."

Ying Zheng said, "Well, indeed."

Seeing the gentleness in his brows, the child boldly approached him, "Mother said, these are all to be collected and not eaten."

Ying Zheng paused.

"My mother said that I want to feed the people who fought... Why is there a war? When can we stop fighting? Uncle Wang next door went to fight, and my mother said he couldn't come back. Why can't he come back? Is it too far away?" ?”

Ying Zheng put the millet in his hand into a kit bag, put it in the child's palm, and stroked the child's hair: "When you grow up, you will know."

There are a few things in this world that can be explained clearly.The common people have the hardships of the common people, and the king has the hardships of the king. It is like a person drinking water, knowing whether he is warm or not.

Not far away, a dozen horses passed by in the dust.Immediately, a dozen or so masked men in black, with weapons in their hands, galloped towards the east.

Ying Zheng squinted his eyes, suddenly his face changed slightly, and he got on his horse and left immediately.

Zhao Zheng's trip this time was completely improvised. Although he brought Li Xin, the doctor's order, there were only a hundred people.Those few just now looked like assassins.

On the other side, Zheng Guoqu's public house is in chaos, with traces of beating, smashing, looting and burning everywhere.

On the open space in front of the public house, the young Lang Zhongling covered Zhao Zheng with a cloak, and led him to gallop out of the siege.He had already been shot by an arrow on his shoulder, but he still calmly pulled the Yinshuang spear in his hand to block the chained scimitar flying from behind.

The iron chain wrapped around the gun tightly, and the assassin at the end pulled it back violently, trying to wrest it from Li Xin's hands, but the opponent's strength was so great that he couldn't shake it at all.

Li Xin, the doctor of the Great Qin Dynasty, practiced martial arts at a young age and is well versed in the art of war. His reputation is indeed well-deserved.They sent fifteen top assassins to confront the hundred or so palace guards, but they couldn't get any upper hand.

The rest of the assassins were held back. At this moment, there were only two people chasing and killing Li Xin and Zhao Zheng. One used a scimitar to cut off his head in an instant, and the other used an arrow, which was so accurate that there was nothing to say.

Li Xin was a pair, and he was able to escape from the encirclement after being hit by an arrow. He was really strong.

The fighting power of the Qin people is really nothing to brag about.

Li Xin's Frost Snow Spear and the assassin's scimitar were in a stalemate. Seeing this, the other assassin immediately turned to the side, bent his bow and set an arrow, and aimed at the person Li Xin was protecting.

The moment he was about to shoot an arrow, a sharp sound of breaking wind roared.

Archer was all too familiar with this sound, and immediately turned sideways to hide.A domineering white feather arrow in the void flew past his cheek, leaving a bloodstain.

The archer turned sharply, and the arrow on the bow that was ready to go shot out at the person coming.

Ying Zheng, who had just arrived, dodged the arrow, and fired another arrow from the crossbow in his hand. This time, the target was the swordsman.In order to escape, the swordsman had no choice but to loosen the chain knife that trapped Li Xin.

Li Xin escaped, and immediately threw the gun in his hand violently.The swordsman managed to dodge Ying Zheng's feathered arrow, and Li Xin's spear was already in sight.

Shuangxuechang's spear penetrated the swordsman's throat in an instant, nailing him to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the archer immediately turned around and ran away. Ying Zheng shot him an arrow and killed him with one blow.

The soul-stirring ended in an instant, and only the rustling wind was left in the wild.

Li Xin rode his horse and stood face to face with Ying Zheng.

Although they cooperated perfectly just now, Li Xin still has a strong hostility towards this well-paid Young Master Wei.Not only because this person seems to have the handle of the king of Qin, but also because the other party has a very old and secret emperor's air.

Li Xin has been accompanying Zhao Zheng since he was a child, and he is particularly keen on this kind of thing.

Ying Zheng threw the crossbow to Zhao Zheng.

After Zhao Zheng accepted it, Li Xin let go of his vigilance, stepped forward and saluted Ying Zheng.

Li Dao: "Shall we go directly back to Xianyang?"

Zhao Zheng and Ying Zheng said almost at the same time: "Go and deal with the injury first."

After the words fell, the two looked at each other and turned their heads away.

Li Xin was also a young man, about the same age as Zhao Zheng, and he didn't know what to say.He also wore an arrow on his shoulder, like a skewer.

The three of them rode horses to a stream, without talking all the way.

Li Xin treated the wound with the stream water, and because he was worried, he asked Wei Ru to come to him.

He was afraid that Wei Ru would take the opportunity to mistreat King Qin, and it would be difficult for King Qin to come over and watch him treat the wound.

Ying Zheng still couldn't see what Li Xin was thinking. He walked up to Li Xin and sat down frankly. He picked up a thin stone with his slender fingers and threw it out.The stone glides on the water and jumps a long distance at one end, and lands in the shallows on the opposite bank.

"Mr. Wei is good at riding and shooting." Li Xin recalled the previous battle and said while drawing his arrow.As soon as the arrow came out, hot blood immediately sprayed everywhere, and Ying Zheng ducked back.Without even frowning, Li Xin sprinkled all the powder in his hand on it.

He bit one end of a strip of cloth torn from his clothes, and wrapped the wound with his other hand, but the cloth was obviously not enough, and the blood soon soaked through.

Ying Zheng looked at his clothes and felt that Li Xin would definitely not be able to use them.Not to mention Wei Ru's embarrassing status now, there is still considerable suspicion in this assassination.

Ying Zheng walked over and took Zhao Zheng's cloak, and tore it apart without saying a word.

Zhao Zheng: "..."

Li Xin: "..."

Ying Zheng handed the cloth to Li Xin: "King Qin's clothes, feel free to use them."

"..." Li Xin couldn't help feeling ashamed for a moment, and turned to King Qin for instructions.

Zhao Zheng stared at Ying Zheng quietly: "It's okay."

Thank you Li Xin.

Binding the wound with King Qin's clothes is probably the only one in the Seven Kingdoms. If it were someone else, I would have been so excited and thankful, but the three parties were very calm——

Li Xin continued to tie and tie, Ying Zheng continued to throw stones, and Zhao Zheng wrote something on the ground with a wooden stick.

After treating the wound, the three of them sat together and agreed on the route back to Xianyang, avoiding the crowded villages as much as possible.At this time, one less person means less crisis. King Qin was assassinated and his whereabouts are unknown. There must be a commotion in the government and the public. It is inevitable that some people will take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and send assassins to assassinate King Qin.

Although Li Xin was worried about Wei Ru, but there was no better choice right now, with him under his control, Wei Ru should not dare to act rashly.

Without further ado, let's go now.

Li Xin still rode the same horse with Zhao Zheng. In order to confuse the public, Li Xin asked Zhao Zheng and Wei Ru to change their clothes.They are about the same age, similar in stature, and even more alike in temperament. After changing clothes, it is difficult to tell them apart without looking at their faces.

Until the evening, Xianyang had not yet arrived, and the three of them had to spend the night in the wilderness.

Li Xin lit a fire and roasted a hare hunted during the day to Zhao Zheng: "Your Majesty has suffered."

Zhao Zheng had no appetite, so he wrapped a rabbit leg in lotus leaves and tasted it absent-mindedly.

Li Xin gave Ying Zheng another rabbit leg: "Speaking of which, this crossbow."

Li Xin picked up the crossbow that Yingzheng brought during the day.He used this crossbow to shoot a rabbit before, and the arrow pierced through the skull, and was nailed several inches into the tree trunk.

"I have never seen this kind of system. Its power is astonishing. If it is put into the battlefield, it will be invincible."

"This is the structural diagram, take it back and let Lord Changping supervise it." Ying Zheng gave Li Xin a scroll, and said casually: "It was left by Lord Chang'an."

Li Xin was surprised for a moment looking at the structural diagram: "Why do you want to help Qin?"

Ying Zheng: "Help play."

Li Xin: "..."

There are not many people who can make him speechless in this life, and Mr. Wei deserves to be number one.

Zhao Zheng originally disliked this crossbow, but when he heard the name of Lord Chang'an, his eyes lit up: "Show me the crossbow."

Li Xin presented Zhao Zheng with both hands.

Zhao Zheng took it, and tried the blade of the arrow with his slender and slightly fair fingers.Li Dao said, "Your Majesty, be careful."

While talking like this, Zhao Zheng didn't know why he was gone. When he realized it, his index finger had been cut by the arrow blade, and blood beads dripped down one by one.

Li Xin: "..."

what to say.

Li Xin quickly bandaged Zhao Zheng's fingers: "I heard that the king used to worship Chang'an Lord Zhao Li as his teacher in Zhao State when he was young?"

Zhao Zheng nodded slightly.

"Then this is the relic of Lord Chang'an."

Ying Zheng answered, "Yes."

Zhao Zheng looked at Ying Zheng coldly.

Li Xin probably understood something, he didn't mention it again, and changed the subject: "What does Your Majesty think about this assassination?"

Zhao Zheng didn't shy away from Wei Ru's presence here, and wrote a few names on the ground.

Cheng Yu, Lu Buwei, Queen Mother Zhao.

Li Xin slowly took a breath: "This is really... How did the king know?"

As soon as Li Xin asked this question, he regretted it. This is not what he should ask.

Zhao Zheng added a few wooden sticks to the fire: "It's okay. When Wei Ru came to Qin, someone poisoned his wine. I asked Wang Wan to investigate and found out that the poisoned wine should have been given to me. It was the servant." Be cautious and temporarily transfer the palace staff."

Li Xinxin said with lingering fear: "Your Majesty is auspicious."

"I asked Wang Wan to investigate further, and found out that they were plotting to assassinate."

Li Xin was surprised: "Is this today?"

Zhao Zheng shook his head: "No, today is just a temporary idea on my part. They must have gotten some news, and they came here temporarily."

However, Li Xin quickly got the hidden information: "This shows that someone close to the king has leaked the news. Also, these assassins have been lurking in Xianyang, otherwise they would not have arrived so soon. I think these assassins cooperated very tacitly. It should be After a lot of practice, this also shows that the originally planned assassination should be coming soon."

"That's right. They originally planned to take action when I went hunting in the forest in two days."

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "The king must have already prepared countermeasures."

"So I'm not in a hurry to go back to Xianyang." Zhao Zheng leaned against the tree behind him and looked at the night sky thoughtfully. "They can't sit still without the widow."

Lu Buwei is now pretending to be sleeping in the fiefdom, but there are still many visitors, and there is still a small group of forces in the court.Empress Dowager Zhao lived in seclusion in Ganquan Palace, unwilling to reconcile, and secretly united with Lu Buwei, intending to kill King Qin and replace him with King Cheng's younger brother Xi.

It is easy to control, once successful, Qin Guochaotang will be a plaything in the hands of these people again.

Meng Ao went out to fight, and Qin's troops were taken away.There are many palaces in Xianyang without a city wall, so it is impossible to miss the opportunity to fight freely.

Opportunities in life are one and the same. If you miss it, you will miss it. Who can sit still?
