Qin Gong

Fangling City.

The exquisite private room in the restaurant was full of candlelight, the smell of wine, and tunes. The woman next to Bai Yan poured tea for Bai Yan. Bai Yan closed his eyes and rested his mind while listening to Qi Zheng.

Wu Gao put his arms around the woman beside him, looking at her with fiery eyes.

Like Bai Yan, Tian Sui, Chen Xu, and Shiyan also closed their eyes and listened carefully to the soft and beautiful tune of Qizheng. Accompanied by the fluctuation of the woman's fine fingers, the guzheng was full of the charm of the mother country.

And in this private room, looking at the closed wooden window to the side, it is already late at night outside the wooden window, and there is no starlight in the dark night sky.

Whenever the cold winter wind drifts by, the night reveals more and more silence.

And in Zhongmou City, which is less than a hundred miles away from Fangling City, under the same night sky, looking down along the dark night of the sky, the city walls are full of stars, and every originally dark street is full of densely packed trees. The light of the fire was moving.

"quick!"

"Quick, get out of the city gate!!"

In countless streets, some civilian men with faces covered in blood appeared. These people held sharp knives. In the dark night, their facial expressions and eyes revealed a touch of horror.

However, before they could run far, there were dense footsteps behind them.

When these men heard the movement behind them, their hands trembled, their eyes were full of fear, and then they all ran towards the city gate.

However, I just came to a street and just walked around the corner.

next moment.

These running men all stood in place with despair on their faces.

Because the road ahead was full of Qin knights holding torches. Those Qin knights had already blocked the road, and pointed their bows and crossbows with arrows straight at them.

"Fire arrows!"

Accompanied by the order of the cavalry general.

In an instant, the arrows disappeared in the Qin crossbow. In the next moment, all the civilian men at the entrance of the street were shot in the body by several arrows. They stumbled back two steps and fell to the ground.

Among the clothed men, the man named the leader stretched out his hand to cover the neck that was pierced by an arrow, opened his mouth to speak, moved, but his mouth was full of blood, and finally fell straight to the ground, twitching After a few clicks, there was no sound.

Similar to this scene.

In this pitch-black night, it can be seen everywhere in Zhongmou City.

The sound of footsteps, flames, dogs barking, and the sound of slashing and fighting from time to time filled every corner of the city, causing the city that once yearned for music to fall into a panic of killing.

Under the dark night, all the people in Zhongmou City did not dare to go out when they heard footsteps or movement outside the door, and could only hide in their houses shivering.

In a mansion in the city.

The blood-stained door was open, and a corpse was lying beside the door. Looking inside the door, the eaves, corridors, and yards, under the dark night, were all lying corpses, and there were sharp swords beside these corpses.

In the inner courtyard, there were more and more corpses. More than 30 iron cavalry soldiers wearing Qin armor, carrying torches, and holding long spears in their backhands, made amends to the corpses on the ground.

"My lord! This is money, my lord will take it all away, I hope my lord!! Can let my family off!"

Several middle-aged men, who were fat and strong, knelt in a room, pleading to the iron cavalry soldiers in front of them, their faces full of fear, fear, and prayer.

Holding the bloody Qin sword in one hand, Peck looked at the middle-aged men in front of him, and then at the kneeling young men, women, children, and old people behind these middle-aged men.

"I will enjoy it!"

Peck walked around these middle-aged men and walked slowly to more than 40 young and beautiful women. Looking at these women who were trembling with fear, a smile appeared on his face.

Back when the general was dealing with those gentry in Yanmen, he copied the family properties of those gentry, thinking that those clans were already extravagant enough, never thought that compared with these people in front of him, they were really far less than [-]%.

This is only in Zhongmu City.

These gentry families who participated in the assassination of the king were all rich families, and they all had family backgrounds in the major cities of Zhaodi in the past.

If this is stolen from the house, how much money will it have!
"My lord, my lord, if my lord likes it, I can take it all!"

A fat-cheeked, fat middle-aged man heard Peck's words, turned around, knelt and walked on the ground twice, and looked at Peck beggingly.

And just outside the room.

A famous cavalry soldier had already moved boxes of gold and silver treasures into the courtyard.

He glanced at the door, and then came to the fat middle-aged man, holding the hilt of the sword with his backhand, pushed the sword to the top, and squatted down.

"My general said, since you gentlemen want to assassinate the king, most of the money must have been hidden!"

Peck said softly.

After finishing speaking, looking at the middle-aged man with a fat face in front of him, his eyes flickered, and he knew it by pecking.

The General was right.

These people have already arranged their retreat!
thought here.

Peck raised his other hand and asked two soldiers to press a middle-aged man over. Then, under the watchful eyes of the fat middle-aged man, he got up and held the sword in both hands. In front of everyone, he slashed fiercely at On the head of the middle-aged man.

The fat middle-aged man shuddered, feeling the wet blood on his face, his mouth was open, and his expression was dull.

Not to mention this fat middle-aged man.

Even in the room, all the other young men and children were trembling with fright at this scene. Some children were crying, but seeing this scene, they were so frightened that they could not cry.

"Don't tell me, you won't die so happily!"

Peck slowly raised the blade, and put the blood-stained blade on the fat man's neck.

Seeing the fat man touch the cold blade, his whole body trembled, his pecking eyes were full of disdain.

Such a person still wants to assassinate the king, and even wants to kill the general!
"I said, I said!"

The fat man, with a pale face, raised his head with sweat on his forehead, and looked at the cavalry general in front of him.

"I hope my lord can let me go, my clansman!"

The fat man said pleadingly.

Peck nodded in satisfaction, the other middle-aged men in the room, as well as other young men, all women, children, old and young breathed a sigh of relief.

After half an hour.

Under the escort of the iron cavalry officers and men, more than 40 women and some old and young women were all taken out of the mansion.

Just when these people were full of rejoicing, desperate begging and shouting suddenly came from behind, and then disappeared slowly in an instant. Everyone was startled. After thinking of something, their eyes were full of horror, but no one dared to look back.

When Huai left the room with the soldiers, the room was already full of men's corpses lying on the cold wooden boards, and the blood under the corpses continued to spread along the boards.

Inside Zhongmu City.

main house.

When he learned that the Qin army had entered the mansion, the old master let the master down immediately, and took Huan Chu, Jing Qi and other young people to the hidden back door of the courtyard. Also less, from where should be able to go out.

As long as you leave the mansion and contact Tian Sui's Qi martial arts left in Zhongmou City, you can live!
And the main family has other relationships and branches, and after leaving, they can go to seek refuge. Those relationships and the main family's branches will support the main family.

"Grandfather, what about you?"

After Zhu Xun heard the old master's words and nodded, he suddenly thought of something and looked at the old master in fear.

When the master heard what his grandson said, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"I'm old and I can't walk anymore!"

The old master said this, and turned to look at the master: "Xun'er, someone must stay behind to block the Qin man."

When he said this, the old master's eyes were full of determination, without any anger.

And the words of the old master.

It also made Zhu Xun's father, as well as other members of the main clan, shake slightly, and their faces turned pale.

But everyone knows that, just as the old master said, someone must stay in this house.

"Xun'er, don't forget to destroy Qin's ambition to restore the country, if you have a chance, save your people!"

The old master said.

This sentence is to tell the master to be inferior, and it is also to comfort the clansmen present. If you stay, you will not necessarily die. There is also a possibility that the men will be arrested and do labor, and the wives and daughters will be served as maids.

As long as you are alive, you still have a chance to be saved!
"Let's go! It's too late if we don't go anymore! Hesitating when making a choice, how can it be done?"

Zhu Xun's father looked extremely pale, and then suddenly turned his head and yelled at Zhu Xun.

In a word.

Rang Zhuxun looked at his father and grandfather, and his eyes were reddened instantly, filled with tears.

"go!"

Zhu Xun said this word in a tone full of crying.

Then with eyes full of tears, he looked at his father and grandfather in pain.

The Lord is clear.

Under the operation of the master's relationship and foundation, other clansmen may still be alive, but his father and grandfather will definitely be executed. Right now, this is the last time he will look at his father and grandfather in his life.

"The boss is righteous!"

Huan Chu followed behind Zhu Xun, before leaving, bowed his hands to salute the old master.

The other gentry people, no matter how old or young, followed Huan Chu's example, hurriedly saluted the old master, said the same words, and then hurriedly followed behind him, as if they were worried that if they were late, they would fall behind and get lost. .

The old master saw this.

They didn't take it to heart, instead they bowed their hands in return one by one.

Because the Lord knows that no matter how many of these people survive this time, even if only one survives, they will be helpful to the Lord in the future.

"Brother Jing! What are you two?"

The old master saw that Jing Qi and Jing Shu were standing in the same place among all the people and did not leave with the others, so he was full of doubts.

And those gentry people who had gone with Zhu Xun were also stunned.

Under the eyes of Zhu Xun and Huan Chu.

Brothers Jing Qi and Jing Shu looked at each other, and then smiled at the old master.

"Master, our two brothers are not talented, and we have nothing but martial arts. Now we need to resist the Qin pawns. If we can add a little strength, we will not leave!"

Jing Shu bowed his hands to the old master and said.

Jing Qi also bowed his hand to compose the ceremony.

At this moment, the eyes of the two brothers are also full of determination.

As one of the Jing clan in the state of Chu, if the two brothers leave today, they will feel ashamed of their other friends in the world in the future.

That being the case, it's better to stay here, delay for the master and others, and pull a few Qin soldiers to back them up.

in the lobby.

What the Jing brothers said made many people behind Zhu Xun feel ashamed, especially Huan Chu and Dong Guogao who came with the Jing brothers.

Looking at the Jing brothers, Huan Chu and Dong Guogao felt shame and resentment in their hearts, making them want to find a hole in the ground and go in.

"Let's go! Look for another opportunity in the future to take revenge on Qin!"

Zhu Xun heard the killing sound getting closer and closer, saw the appearance of Huan Chu and Dong Guogao, and said.

Then he took a group of people and left through the back door.

Seeing this, the old master breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saluted the Jing brothers to express his gratitude.

The two Jing brothers also smiled and bowed their hands in return.

Not long after Zhu Xun led his people away, under the eyes of Zhu Lao and others, more than 30 subordinates outside the door were constantly killed by Qin Zu, and at every step, one or two subordinates would be slashed by Qin Zu, and died tragically. land.

"kill!"

Seeing this, the two brothers Jing Qi and Jing Shu stretched out their hands and pulled out the saber of the waist sword, and brought the other young people of the Zhu clan beside the old master, and headed towards the door to kill.

In an instant, he joined those followers and fought with the knights of Qin.

"Bo Yan, are you saying that someone leaked the news, or is there an internal response?"

Looking at the chaotic scene outside the door, the master asked softly.

The grandson that the Zhu family has been cultivating has already left, so the old master has no scruples or regrets.

It was at this time that he calmed down, and the old master thought about what went wrong.

Looking at his eldest son, the master was full of regret.

Speaking of which, if Zhu Xun was not young, in fact Zhu Xun's father Zhu Yan, with his talents and means, was the one who should escape the most.

"Xu Zixiao?"

The elder muttered something, then shook his head with a sigh.

"not him!"

The Lord always denied it to himself.

The Lord knows that what Xu Zixiao did in Handan in the past are all facts. Wu Gao, Dai Wang Jia and others can testify, and even Shiyan learned about it from Huishi.

Definitely not Xu Zixiao!
What's more, Xu Zixiao is still Duke Jin's disciple. Not only Shiyan and Tian Sui, but also himself can confirm this.

In addition, when he was in Luoyang, Wu Gao informed Xu Zixiao of the gentry forces that Zhongmucheng participated in.

If Xu Zixiao was an internal response, there was no need to come to Zhongmou City at all.

In addition, if Tian Sui hadn't suddenly said that he knew the antidote, Xu Zixiao was still in the city at this moment, this coincidence was beyond Xu Zixiao's decision.

So if there is an internal response, it is definitely not Xu Zixiao!
Who will it be?
"The news leaked?"

Zhu Xun's father, Zhu Yan, heard his father's words at this moment, recovered, looked at his father, and thought about it.

"Father, do you still remember that Xu Zixiao once helped the Zheng family and intercepted an informant bamboo slip?"

Zhu Yan said.

When the old master heard the words, his eyes froze, and he also remembered what Wu Gao and Shi Yan had mentioned in the letter.

In Luoyang, the Zheng family accidentally leaked the secret.

Everyone later considered that Zheng promised to only have this letter, and Ying Zheng was surrounded by secret agents, and there was even Mrs. Zheng's watcher.

So when they heard the news, no one took it seriously.

"Xun'er has already fled. Yingzheng will be furious this time. Let's see, those gentry are still intact, and Xun'er will know clearly by then."

While the master was thinking, Zhu Yan continued to speak softly.

The only one who knew that the news had been leaked was the Zheng family. Now that the Qin army had already arrived at the door, it was obvious that Ying Zheng must have known about the assassination. With Ying Zheng's violent heart, no matter what, he would not let go of the gentry who participated in the assassination.

Those who have not been exterminated are likely to have problems.

Especially the Zheng family, as the leaked news, the Zheng family will be the first gentry family to be trampled down by Qin's iron cavalry.

If Mrs. Zheng is safe and sound, then it is obvious whether the news has leaked out!
The sound of the main hall door being slammed brought the old master and his son back to their senses. They watched the subordinates turn into corpses and fall to the ground. .

"No!"

Jing Qi suddenly roared.

Because under everyone's gaze, five or six Qin cavalry officers held Qin swords, all of them inserted into Jing Shu's belly, and then pushed hard against the door.

Jing Shu's mouth was full of blood, and he opened his eyes and looked at the countless Qin knight soldiers in front of him. Finally, his head slowly turned to the side, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Jing Qi saw his brother being killed, his red eyes were full of anger, and he raised his sword with all his might, just as he was about to kill, an arrow instantly pierced into Jing Qi who had just rushed forward chest.

In the end, Jing Qi also fell to the ground.

in the lobby.

Accompanied by more and more cavalry soldiers holding weapons, they poured in.

Both Zhu Lao and Zhu Yan stood there very calmly, both of them knew very well that they would never have a chance to leave here alive today.

the other side.

Zhu Xun led Huan Chu and others, just now they walked for a long time through the hidden passage, and came to a wooden house where grain was stored.

Listening to the commotion outside, Zhu Xun and the others dared not make a sound.

waited a long time.

After hearing the dense footsteps leaving, Zhu Xun and others just went out.

Although it is safe here, when we were in the main mansion just now, it was already dark when we left. Qin Qi must be able to track down the passage through which they left by asking the maids and servants through the traces.

"Let's go!"

Zhu Xun led Huan Chu and a group of gentlemen in silk clothes, a dozen or so people walked on the street in panic.

However, how far does it go.

Suddenly, he was discovered by more than 30 Qin cavalry officers and soldiers holding torches and patrolling.

"It's over!"

"Run!"

This scene made Zhu Xun and the others terrified, their faces turned pale.

However, they turned around and ran away. They were born with rich clothes and fine food, so they don't have to work hard, and now they are wearing silk clothes and jade ornaments.

In an instant, three people were chased up, cut down by the Qin cavalry officers with their swords, and after falling to the ground, they were stabbed one after another.

Seeing this scene, many members of the gentry trembled even more and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, at the critical moment.

On the wooden buildings on both sides of the street not far away, several black-clothed figures suddenly jumped out of the windows. These figures jumped from the second floor in the dark night, and then rushed towards Qin Qi in the dark night.

Huh~huh~huh~! !
A series of black shadows holding sharp swords, like a phantom, ran past Zhu Xun and others one after another.

In an instant, they fought against the Qin cavalry officers and men.

After fighting back with their swords, the Qin cavalry officers and soldiers immediately realized that the men in black in front of them were all highly skilled in martial arts, and several of the Qin cavalry officers and soldiers were beheaded to death at the beginning.

Beside a Qin cavalry officer holding a torch, the iron cavalry general shrank his pupils when he saw this.

"Go call someone!"

The iron cavalry soldiers ordered, and told the soldiers beside them to call more people over. The men in black in front of them obviously had extraordinary backgrounds.

"promise!"

Hearing the words, the iron cavalry officers bowed their hands and took orders, and then ran behind.

However, before the soldier had walked a few steps, he suddenly fell to the ground unconsciously, and the torch in his hand also rolled to the ground.

The soldier remembered, but kept struggling and couldn't get up.

see this scene.

The iron cavalry general who gave the order just now just looked around, glanced at the house under the dark night, and did not ask the soldiers to report.

Instead, he turned around and looked at the men in black with high martial arts skills in front of him, stretched out his hand, and slowly pulled out the Qin sword from his waist.

All the other iron cavalry officers and soldiers around them also dropped the torches in their hands in an instant, and stretched out their hands to pull out Qin Jian.

Those men in black are strong.

It is very likely that all of them will not be able to live in this alley, and will not be able to see the rising sun.

But there is a habit in Bai's iron cavalry.

Never retreat in every battle!

Every enemy must fight to the death!
Generals, captains, captains, soldiers, all can die in battle, all dare to die in battle!
Even when the iron cavalry general gave the order just now, he never thought that he would leave this alley alive.

"kill!"

Under the leadership of the iron cavalry soldiers, all the iron cavalry soldiers headed towards the black-clothed figures. In the melee, the black-clothed figures kept killing the Qin cavalry soldiers with their sharp swords, relying on their martial arts skills.

However, the Qin cavalry officers and soldiers who were not afraid of a deadly battle would die with the men in black even if they did not want to die. Many men in black were hacked to death in such a fight, and even died together.

"kill!!"

Bang bang~! !
In the entire alley, apart from the sounds of fighting and falling to the ground, there were only torches rolling to the ground, emitting a flickering flame.

Those gentry people who have no worries about food and clothing since childhood, the most exciting and most frightening thing they have seen since childhood are those rangers who compete in martial arts. Where have I seen such a tragic fight in an alley? .

Also at this time.

Not far away, a thin old man walked over in the dark.

"My lord, come with me! When the Qin cavaliers from other places arrive, they won't be able to leave!"

The old man quietly came behind Zhu Xun and spoke.

Looking at the chaotic scene in the alley in the distance, looking at the dead bodies of Qin Qi who fell on the ground, and seeing many men in black dying tragically on the road, the old man's eyes were full of emotion. so-so.

"Ah good!"

Zhu Xun and the others were unprepared and were startled. Hearing that someone was taking him away, Zhu Xun nodded quickly.

However, after turning around.

At this time, Zhu Xun looked at the old man's face and found it looked familiar. Then he suddenly realized that when Yu Tian Sui returned to the main mansion that day, he had seen this old man walking by the carriage carrying firewood.

"It's you!"

After Zhu Xun came to his senses, he suddenly had a joyful expression on his face: "Qi Wu Chi, you are Tian Sui's Qi Wu Chi!"

Zhu Xun's words made Huan Chu and the others turn their heads to look at the men in black.

Qi martial arts!
These people are all from Tian Sui.

"It's saved!"

In an instant, this was the thought in almost everyone's mind.

"Let's go!"

The old man did not answer Zhu Xun, but turned around and left with Zhu Xun and others.

After Zhuxun and the others took a few steps, they saw several figures in black running past on both sides of the street, and Huan Chu vaguely noticed that there seemed to be black figures on the roof not far away.

the next way.

Zhu Xun and the others followed the old man and never met Qin Qi soldiers again. Even if they did, some of them had already turned into corpses.

But it was at the place where Zhu Xun and the others left at the beginning, half an hour later.

A dense crowd of cavalry soldiers came to the alley with torches in hand.

The leader, Kou Zhuang, was wearing Qin armor and wearing a Qin sword, stepped forward step by step, looked at the corpses of soldiers on the ground, looked at the men in black, and then came to a Qin cavalry soldier with no wounds on his body .

Kou Zhuang squatted down and looked at the young Qin Qi soldier. He saw that there was no wound on the corpse, and the dead face was the same as the other corpses, which was very abnormal.

"You know, the general treats us very well, and will make our parents have nothing to worry about. Go to sleep!"

Kou Zhuang put his hand on the soldier's eyes, said softly, and then closed the soldier's eyes.

Inside the alley.

The other soldiers also closed their eyes for the fallen soldiers, and then everyone got up and looked at Kou Zhuang.

this moment.

Iron cavalry officers and soldiers of different appearances and ages, wearing Qin armor, carrying torches and Qin swords, looked at Kou Zhuang without saying a word.

In the quiet alley, there were no less than 200 people, but they didn't make a sound.

"Scout battalion! Find them!"

Kou Zhuang said.

The firelight reflected on Kou Zhuang's cheek. At this moment, Kou Zhuang raised his eyes slowly, looking towards the dark street.

"promise!!"

"promise!"

Hearing Kou Zhuang's order, no less than two hundred voices of receiving the order suddenly sounded.

After half an hour.

On the gate of Zhongmu City, Yan Mao stood in the city road, and heard the voice of the iron cavalry officers coming to report.

With Yan Mao's deep eyes, he looked at the endless dark houses in front of him under the night,

Yan Mao turned his head and looked at the fifteen burly men behind him who were not wearing Qin armor.

"Put on heavy armor! You need to kill people tonight!"

Yan Mao asked.

Originally, these people were sent by Wei Lao to help the general, but Wei Lao did not expect that the general did not use these people.

On the contrary, the 15 people who stayed in Zhongmou City at this time will be of great use tonight!
wild king.

In the huge mansion, in a quiet study room, Ying Zheng stood outside the room, looking at the night in the distance, feeling the chill from the cold wind.

Just behind Ying Zheng, several eunuchs and maids waited quietly.

Not far away is guarded by Qin soldiers holding swords.

"Kings!"

A weak and alluring voice sounded, and Ying Zheng didn't look back.

After a few breaths, a voluptuous and beautiful stunner came to Ying Zheng's side.

"It's late at night, the king should go to rest!"

Mrs. Zheng came to Yingzheng's side and looked at Yingzheng cautiously.

Ying Zheng, who is in his early thirties, is naturally not bad in terms of appearance, inheriting the former king and Zhao Ji.

However, Mrs. Zheng is clear.

It is the man in his early thirties in front of him who can decide the survival of a country and the fate of the people in the world with a single word.

"The widow wants to sleep too! But I can't sleep at night! In this world, there are always people who want to kill the widow."

Ying Zheng heard Madam Zheng's words and looked at the dark night in the distance.

This sentence seems to be telling, but it also seems to be doubting.

Ying Zheng looked at the night and wanted to ask why there were so many forces always thinking of killing him.

From the time when he was sensible, everyone around him seemed to be loathing and hating him, and they even wished that he would die in Yingzheng.

From an early age.

The eyes that Ying Zheng has been facing all the time are the kind of hostile eyes, the eyes that want to kill him, even after succeeding to the throne!
These gazes and gazes have been with him in his life since he was born, and they have never disappeared.

This encounter and feeling.

Perhaps only the young man from Qi State can understand a little bit.

"Why is Your Majesty suddenly so worried?"

Madam Zheng looked at Ying Zheng, her enchanting figure quietly approached, her pretty face resting on Ying Zheng's shoulder.

It seems that he wants to use this method to appease Ying Zheng, so that Ying Zheng doesn't need to worry and calm down.

"The widow doesn't want to either!"

Ying Zheng spoke softly.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng slowly turned his head and looked at Mrs. Zheng.

"Kings?"

Mrs. Zheng looked at Ying Zheng with her beautiful eyes full of concern, and found that Ying Zheng was looking straight at her. She instinctively lowered her head slightly shyly and moved her beautiful eyes away to express her shyness.

"The beauty wants to know why the widow is worried? Do you want to share the worries of the widow?"

Ying Zheng looked at the appearance of the woman beside him, his eyes were full of doting.

Madam Zheng looked at Ying Zheng full of surprise and curiosity.

Then, under Ying Zheng's gaze, Mrs. Zheng thought for a while, nodded to Ying Zheng, and looked at Ying Zheng with concern.

"Go and bring the bamboo slips sent by Bai Yan to the widow!"

Seeing Mrs. Zheng's appearance, Ying Zheng sighed melancholy, turned his head, and ordered his eunuchs to fetch the bamboo slips sent by Bai Yan.
