Mask of Rebirth

Qin Mu spread the news that Wei Ziyang, who had just been promoted to be the leader, was seriously injured and is still in a coma.

Here, Wei Ziyang, who has not recovered from serious injuries, has already led a thousand elite soldiers to Beiling City in secret, holding Qin Mu's lord token.He seconded [-] death row prisoners from the prison, but even Qin Mu didn't know what the use of these [-] death row prisoners was.

During that time, Wei Ziyang never returned to the barracks, and led the [-] people to set up camp in a secret enclosure on Beiling Mountain.

It has become an important place for strict defense, and no one is allowed to enter without Wei Ziyang's approval, including the prince.

I heard that at night, a large number of officers and soldiers disguised themselves as merchants went to the nearby villages to buy supplies and transported them to the mountains one by one. Some people also heard that the reason why all the carpenters and blacksmiths in the nearby villages disappeared was that they were secretly escorted into the mountains. But all of this is just hearsay, and no one dares to confirm it.

Anyone who dares to approach the mountain has become a ghost under the knife. There are heads hanging on the way up the mountain, reminding people passing by to stay away.Not to mention ordinary people, even the generals of the Qin State soldiers who passed by had to make a detour.

Lu Yang's several invitations to battle were rejected. Qin's army was like a shrinking tortoise. When they were cornered, they just fired a few cold arrows and closed the gates of the camp and refused to come out to fight.

After several times, Lu Yang became suspicious. At this time, he got the news that the army of Qin State seemed to have changed. He sent secret guards to investigate, but no half of the living people came back to report the news. Therefore, Lu Yang concluded that there must be some Strange.

Lu Yang has always wanted to annex the Three Kingdoms. He has made thorough preparations for this battle. Not only is there sufficient food and grass, but he has already planted a lot of eyeliners in other countries. Those people are useless on weekdays. Once the war starts, all of them can play a decisive role.The small ones are ordinary people, and the big ones are high-ranking officials and generous salary. This is the time for these people to play their roles.

Qin Mu never expected that the internal strife would start again before the foreign enemy retreated.

The eldest prince Qin Long personally commanded six hundred imperial guards and came here with an imperial decree, and was ordered to investigate the case of three hundred death row prisoners being re-imprisoned in Beiling.

Wei Ziyang was recalled by a secret order. Before dawn, he disguised himself and returned to the camp. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the legendary eldest prince Qin Long who was the best candidate for the throne.

Gold silk Dongzhu head crown and hair, nine groups of python golden brocade robes, black fox cloak with smoked mink collar, and imperial bestowed sword in hand, this outfit alone is overwhelming.Looking at Qin Long's appearance, although he is somewhat similar to Qin Mu, he is obviously much older. His eyes are cold and stern, and he is not angry and pretentious, which makes people fearful at first sight.

Although he had never met him before, Wei Ziyang had heard of him a lot. This man was duplicity, sinister, cunning, vicious and ruthless.

Looking at the atmosphere in front of him, it was obvious that Qin Long had already questioned Master Qin Muxing before he came.He was comfortable, sitting on the grand master's chair, carefully blowing on the floating tea in the cup, and sipping it unhurriedly.But Qin Mu was kneeling straight on the ground, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, judging by the situation, he had been kneeling here for at least an hour, Wei Ziyang couldn't help feeling angry.

"My lower official, Wei Ziyang, sees Your Highness!"

Qin Long has been looking him up and down since he entered the room, and Wei Ziyang felt uncomfortable with that stare of indeterminate eyes.

At this time, there were only Qin Long, Qin Mu, Wei Ziyang and Xue Tian in the camp. It was only today that Xue Tian knew that the three hundred death row prisoners in Beiling were secretly transferred to the nearby Beiling Mountain, but he didn't know it.

Employers don't doubt, suspects don't need, Qin Mu promised not to ask about this matter, but unexpectedly this trivial matter was taken advantage of by someone with a heart, Qin Long's trip must be a bad one.Father is really confused, how could he listen to his bewitching?The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, once he comes, will the army be in chaos?He repeatedly thought about the countermeasures in his mind, how to rescue Wei Ziyang from the siege.

The four of them had different thoughts, and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, Qin Long said slowly, "Wei Canling, did you transfer the [-] death row prisoners from Beiling?"

"Exactly!"

"Brother Huang, I have already said that this matter is my promise."

"Shut up!" Qin Long threw his teacup on Shuai's case, and said sternly: "My Highness is ordered to investigate the case, so don't open your mouth until you are asked!"

He scolded Qin Mu so harshly, which made Wei Ziyang very upset, and said in a low voice, "Returning to Your Highness, the purpose of seconding three hundred prisoners on death row is to manufacture weapons. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for not asking for an order in advance."

It was rare for Wei Ziyang to be kind and nice, but Qin Long just made an inch of it, and said with an unflappable expression: "My Great Qin has a Shenji Battalion, which is specially set up for the manufacture of weapons. Doesn't Wei Shenling know that?  … , born in the wild, you really don't know the rules!"

Wei Ziyang's anger stuck in his throat, and he almost opened his mouth to curse.His temper is not very good, especially in the past two years, he has been on fire.But after weighing it up, he is still a highness, so it is better not to contradict him, so he suppressed his anger secretly, lowered his head and said coldly: "The Shenji camp is far away in Qindu, and the war is very tense now. Fearing that it would delay the fighter plane, the subordinate officials took the initiative to make weapons out of condemned prisoners. This way, we can also prevent the wind from leaking."

"Oh, I don't know what kind of weapon Wei Shenling made, and I'm afraid it will leak?"

I didn't even tell the prince, how can I tell you? "This... the lower officials can't say."

Qin Long picked his eyelids, "Can't say it? Or dare not say it? As far as His Highness knows, the Shenji Battalion just arrived half a month ago with a batch of high-quality bows and arrows. At this time, there is no shortage of weapons in the army. Therefore It seems that Wei Canling seconded death row prisoners, misappropriated military pay, and made weapons is fake, but taking the opportunity to fill his own pockets is true, right?"

Qin Mu was startled, and immediately changed his face, "How can the emperor add crimes indiscriminately?"

"Ninth brother is so busy making excuses, so could it be that you are also involved in this matter?"

"Brother Huang, you..."

Qin Long ignored him, and shifted his gaze to Wei Ziyang again, "I don't know what explanation Wei Canling has for this?"

Wei Ziyang's good temper was all gone, and he didn't bother to explain anymore. He said sarcastically, "There is nothing to explain! If Your Highness suspects that the official is enriching his own pockets, he will show evidence, otherwise the official will never admit that he wants to commit crimes." Yes! As for what kind of weapon is made, it is a matter of confidentiality, and it is not enough for outsiders to know!"

"What did you say? It's not humane!"

Qin Long's livid face made Qin Mu chuckle secretly, Wei Ziyang is the only one in the world who dares to disrespect this big brother like this.But at the same time, he couldn't help worrying that Qin Long might hold a grudge in this way, and with Xu Hai's incident, this test might be difficult.

"This matter is indeed a matter of confidentiality. Brother Huang, it is better not to ask."

"It's a secret! Could it be that even the emperor must keep it a secret? You are so brave!"

With one sentence from Qin Long, Qin Mu was accused of being disrespectful. Qin Mu immediately stood up and looked at him, "As for Father, I will write a letter to explain clearly when the army is attacked and retreated. If you want to blame me, I will bear it myself, but at this time, whether you can attack and retreat the army is all in one fell swoop, if there is even the slightest word of mouth, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be wasted! I hope Brother Huang will put the overall situation first! Don't press me again!"

"After a few days of experience in the army, I am really impressed!" Qin Long was anxious, and put the imperial sword on the case, "My Highness is ordered to investigate this matter, do you want to disobey the imperial order?"

Qin Mu glared angrily, and when he was about to speak, Wei Ziyang cut off his words, "Your Highness!" He stood up, swept the dust off his clothes, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "I did this, the prince didn't know It's useless for you to press him for inside information."

"Okay, then you can give me a reasonable explanation, if not, my Highness will dismiss your official position today!"

"As I said just now, it's a matter of confidentiality and not for outsiders! Your Highness's memory is really bad, so I forgot it so quickly!" The words came out without any scruples, Qin Mu and Xue Tian were both surprised, and no one had time Stopped, and heard Wei Ziyang sneer again, and continued: "You want to remove my position? Your Highness, don't forget, my official position was bestowed by the emperor, and His Highness doesn't seem to have the power to dismiss me as a second grade!"

"That's unreasonable! Wei Ziyang, you are so courageous!" Qin Long blushed furiously, and slapped Shuai An with his palm, and with a bang, Xue Tian trembled in fright. "If you dare to speak disrespectfully to His Highness, you have already committed the crime of disrespect. Don't say that you are the second rank, even if you are the first rank, His Highness has the right to convict you and put you in jail!"

"It doesn't matter, I am a half-dead person, and I don't care about this life. If Your Highness is willing to let me get rid of this world of mortals early, I will be grateful to you even if I am a ghost! ...... the same sentence If you want to use someone, you don’t need to be suspicious, and if you are suspicious, you don’t need to. There are still things to do on the mountain, so I will not accompany you as an official, so I will leave!"

Wei Ziyang flicked his sleeves and left without looking back. Hearing the sound of the sword being unsheathed, he just smiled nonchalantly.

"Wei Ziyang!"

Wei Ziyang ignored the murderous Qin Long, at this moment he suddenly heard the sound of close combat, and knew it must be Qin Mu without looking back.It's just that it never occurred to Qin Mu that he would openly disobey the oracle because of him, even disregarding Shang Fang's sword. This man is really crazy!

Wei Ziyang had mixed emotions in his heart, he was hesitating in his steps, and he had already lifted the heavy curtain with his hands.

Not far from the door stood a man in Tsing Yi with a moustache. He was looking at this side with his head poking his head. When he entered the account just now, he seemed familiar. reminded him of his identity.

Wei Ziyang lowered the curtain and turned his head. Qin Mu was confronting Qin Long with a sword.Seeing that Wei Ziyang came back step by step, both of them felt a little surprised.

"Ziyang, you go first, no one will hurt you with this king here!" Openly disobeying the sacred decree is a capital crime, but Qin Mu didn't care about it, and he had to say that he was almost insane because of him Qin Mu really touched Wei Ziyang.

"May I ask Your Highness, is that man in Tsing Yi outside the door one of your subordinates?"

Wei Ziyang's words jumped too fast, and the three people in the room couldn't keep up with his rhythm, especially Qin Long.

That person is the head of the First Prince's Mansion, a very scheming person, and Qin Long trusts him quite a bit.A few days ago, Qin Long had been reminded openly and secretly that the Ninth Prince had to guard against the help of an expert. If Wei Ziyang could not be used for himself, he could only get rid of him as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

"So what?"

Hearing this, Wei Ziyang smiled, raised his hand and parted the swords of the two, approached Qin Long and said in a low voice, "Tell Your Highness a secret. Three years ago, this person entered the Royal Study Room of the Lu Palace."

Qin Long froze for a moment, then recovered his anger, "What do you mean by that?"

"It means literally."

"You said he was a spy?"

"Your Highness, you must be on guard against others."

Wu Zhangyuan is indeed the eldest prince's mansion that he came to three years ago, how could Wei Ziyang know the inside story?Is what he said true?wrong!Qin Long turned his mind and revealed a sneer, "Even if Wu Zhangyuan is really a spy, how would you know? Could it be because you saw it with your own eyes?"

I knew he would ask such a question, dragging himself into it.Wei Ziyang didn't hide anything, he nodded and admitted his guess, "That's right, I'm indeed from Lu country, once."

Xue Tian was startled, and the way he looked at Wei Ziyang changed. Wei Ziyang looked at Qin Long nonchalantly, and continued, "Otherwise, how could I have a problem with Lu Yang?"

Qin Mu said, "This king has known about this for a long time. Brother Huang, you should take care of your own people first. If Zhangyuan Wu is really a spy, once your father finds out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain. "

Qin Mu blatantly disobeyed the imperial edict, Qin Long did not investigate the employment, and the two each held a handle, so the game was considered a tie.If you think about today's events in the future, you can only pretend that they never happened.Qin Long, however, was unwilling to be caught by others. After turning his mind a few times, he said coldly: "How can His Highness be convinced by your one-sided words? If you kill a good person by mistake, can you bear it?"

"He's an eunuch! If you don't believe me, His Highness, you can call him in right away. Take off his clothes and you'll know! As for his name, if I remember correctly, it seems to be Zhao Deshou. He used to be a eunuch in charge of the palace." Wei Ziyang Apparently he didn't have the time to accompany him here for three trials, so he turned around to leave, stopped after taking two steps, turned around and said to Qin Mu, "My lord, Lu Yang has planted many spies in Qin, we I know a few of them more or less, I will send someone to send the list tomorrow, as for what to do..." Wei Ziyang bent down and cupped his hands, "Your Highness, please make a decision." After speaking, he turned and left.

Qin Long who was full of anger, Qin Mu who was thinking a little, and Xue Tian who had been wiping cold sweat were left behind.
