It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 510: Ren Xiaoyanle, the beginning of the book burning (long wait)
Chen Ping's plan has already taken effect imperceptibly.

Xu Zhi returned to the yard and the clouds in the sky gathered together.

Fan Kuai hurried forward and had a puzzled expression when he saw Xu Zhi. After realizing that there was no one behind him, he shouted, "Madam Shen! Why are you back?" Then he pointed in a direction and said, "Lord Li and Brother Liu went over there to look for you."

Xu Zhi and Fan Kuai just walked out of the yard, "Be careful!" Fan Kuai took out the big knife from his waist, and with a "swish" sound, it turned out to be a hidden dart!
At this time, the swallows on the eaves of the backyard flew low, the bamboo forest suddenly became turbulent, large areas of green were shaking, and men in black came out from the dense woods and gathered quickly.

The leader was dressed in black, with a tiger-patterned belt on his waist and a black iron sword in his hand. He was a black-armored guard, a type found in the palace.

The man in black armor beside him shouted, "The Emperor has issued an order that anyone who dares to secretly keep the Preliminary Book will be beheaded!"

Xu Zhi's eyebrows sank. The secrets of the historical records have been leaked in the past few days! It's hard to say how much has been leaked!
"What is the emperor's pre-book?!" Fan Kuai shouted.

She looked around and saw more than ten people densely surrounding the bamboo garden. At the moment, she couldn't tell whether they were Zhao Gao's men or those sent by her father to find her.

Without further ado, Fan Kuai treated all of them as his previous enemies, with his sword drawn in front of him.

The black-armored guard ordered two men to go up.

The next second, Fan Kuai's arms were suddenly twisted behind his back. But he was Fan Kuai, not an ordinary person. He struggled and the two men lost their strength and retreated repeatedly.

Then, Fan Kuai quickly ran to Xu Zhi and scanned the long swords in the hands of the people in the circle. "Madam Shen, I thought the only people chasing you were those rebels in Chu, but I didn't expect these Qin soldiers to come with such a strong momentum. What a big crime you and Lord Li have committed in the court!"

She looked at the end of the bamboo forest, "Mr. Huang Shi has promised me to use chemicals to remove the bamboo barrier." Xu Zhi looked at Fan Kuai and whispered, "If this is a capital crime, I will be beheaded. While I am dealing with him, Mr. Fan can run away first like before."

"Madam Shen, what are you talking about!!" Fan Kuai thought of how Liu Bang and he had abandoned him to avoid disaster a few days ago. He felt bad and got angry. His face flushed. "How can I, Fan Kuai, let a weak woman like you stay here!"

As he spoke, Fan Kuai took a step forward, stuck his knife into the ground, knelt down and thought, "I am the treasurer of Nanzheng County. I was ordered to report the miscellaneous taxes of Yin County Magistrate. I passed by Mei County, Kuaiji, and heard that there were occasional thieves, so I stayed here." He took another step forward and said, "We really don't know what the "Preliminary Letter" you mentioned is! It is really against the law to disturb the officials' official business."

When the Black Armored Guard heard that he was an official of Nanzheng County, he looked at his seal and his attitude improved a lot. He put the belt back and said, "It's strange to suddenly find a courtyard in the wilderness. However, we are under the order of His Majesty the Emperor to search this place. It's our official business."

"Sir Ren, this woman..." a subordinate spoke.

"This lady is my niece." Fan Kuai said.

Niece? Not at all.

This gentleman once served in the palace, and was currently stationed in Zhilan Palace under the rank of Weiwei.

He vaguely felt that this woman in plain clothes and a straw hairpin had a calm and cold look in her eyes, and she was very similar to someone he had met before.

In short, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match the identity that Fan Kuai claimed. Chen Ping's words make him feel that something is wrong...

At this time, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came, and another group of people came from the bamboo forest on big horses. The riders were also dressed in black and were still on their horses. "You little miser, get out of here!"

Fan Kuai was unable to dodge and was blown to the ground with a bang. Her hand brushed against the blade and the wind blew up the strands of hair on her forehead, a spot of scarlet unexpectedly flew onto Xu Zhi's brow.

The Black Armored Guard was shocked! The drop of blood was like red sand, awakening his long-buried memories.

More than ten years ago, he, Zhang Han and Lü Ze, the current Shaofu, escorted Ying Hehua to Yongcheng. However, he did not expect that something big would happen at Guxiakou. They failed to protect the princess, causing her to fall off a cliff and her life or death was unknown. According to the law, they were all to be executed. When she was found, her Shaofu was almost dead, but she not only did not blame Zhang Han, but also reduced their sentences and soon reinstated them. Not long after, Zhang Han was even able to join Wang Jian's army. Lü Ze went to the county supervised by Li Xian, and then returned to Shu.

Ren Xiong had no idea how Ying Hehua recommended Zhang Han, how he urged Li Xian to improve his swordsmanship, or why he guarded Zhang Liang for a day and a night in extreme weather.

Ren Xiong didn't know that this princess who looked like a coral bead was actually like acacia, with poison wrapped in bright colors. But thirteen years ago, she wore a fiery red robe and ran happily in the snow with a gray snow rabbit. It really left a deep impression on him, but he only dared to look at her once, and they had no more interactions since then.

The emperor has an unusual regard for this princess, but Yongan violates a taboo and gets involved with the "Preliminary Book"...

However, the man in black who came over waved his hand, and the three of them dismounted from their horses, pushed Fan Kuai to the ground, and immediately blocked his mouth.

"Is County Magistrate Ren intending to release the fugitive who smuggled the "Preliminary Book"?" the man in black asked.

Appointment as a county lieutenant? Xu Zhi then turned his gaze towards the black-armored guard.

It turned out to be him. The future "Captain of Southeast China" - Ren Xiao.

Zhang Han once said that Ren Xiong was spared from punishment because of her and was still in the Qin Palace. Calculating the time, one year later, he and Zhao Tuo will lead the army into Lingnan again. After unifying Lingnan, he will be the first lieutenant of Nanhai County, controlling the three counties of Nanhai, Xiang County and Guilin in Lingnan.

From the fact that Ren Xiong was sent by her father to Chu to secretly visit the "Book of Advancement", we can see his trust in him.

It's just that in history, after Hu Hai ascended the throne, Ren Xiong was seriously ill and discussed with Zhao Tuo about splitting Lingnan to avoid war. Later, Zhao Tuo once proclaimed himself emperor and became the King of Nanyue.

If the Qin army in Lingnan had marched north to defend Xianyang, and if Ren Xiong had not been seriously ill, the outcome of the war between Qin and Han would have been unknown.

He didn't want to meet her gaze, so he quickly looked away and lowered his head.

Since Ren Xiong was one of her own, she did not stop the man in black from rummaging through the bamboo slips and piling them up in the yard.

The leader of the men in black took two steps with a smile and glanced at Fan Kuai lying on the ground.

It seems that what Zhao Gao said was right. As long as we follow Li Xian, we can find the thing that Xu Fu said predicted the future! It has been forty years. No wonder the nobles and guests of various countries have searched for it in vain, and the people of Zhao can't find any trace of it. It turns out that the prince of Qi hid it in such a remote place with it.

Yan Le soon discovered that there was only Ying Hehua in the yard, but Li Xian, whom Zhao Gao had specifically instructed to be killed, was missing!

He first picked up a scroll of bamboo slips, intending to read the secret himself, but his hand was stopped by the arrogant man, "Lord Yan, be careful. If this thing is really what the emperor is looking for, anyone who touches it will die, including you and me."

Yan Le pretended to fall to the ground, but he didn't recognize any of the words on the bamboo slips. He had to give up and turned his attention to Ying Hehua. The First Emperor was superstitious and suspicious. If she was captured and taken back to Xianyang, she would have no choice but to die.

Thinking that Yan Le wanted to hide her identity...

Yan Le smiled and said, "No one will speak unless they are punished to death." Yan Le's men quickly stepped forward to arrest her. The sky was gloomy and no one appeared at a glance.

Without waiting for Ren Xiong to speak.

A cold and indifferent voice finally came from the wind.

"Your Excellency holds a high position, but you have never read the Qin Law?"

Yan Le felt panicked subconsciously. It was obvious that Ying Hehua was about to die, but he was still afraid of her, even with just a glance.

"Severe punishments are the order of the day..."

Xu Zhi interrupted him, "When administering a prison, one should follow the words in writing. It is the best to forgive and get people's requests. Forgiveness is the worst. Fear is a failure. Our dynasty allows torture, but prohibits torture. This is not the Mei County Prison, and I am not the criminal you said I was."

Yan Le looked at her and laughed, "There is fog here all year round. If there is no evidence, how do you think we found this place?"

Xu Zhi's heart sank. This Yan Le would be Zhao Gao's son-in-law in the future. Could it be that Zhao Gao had colluded with the anti-Qin forces long ago?

The fact that Zhang Liang was sent out of Xianyang was done by her through Li Si and Yao Jia.

What role did Zhao Gao play in this?
Yan Le took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Master Ren said that anyone who violates the Preliminary Book will die."

Fan Kuai seized the opportunity and broke free, "Madam Shen, you are familiar with them, but I really don't understand what book they are talking about!"

"Haha, Your Highness has so many fake identities."

Yan Le stared at Xu Zhi. When he thought about the fact that she was using the identity of Shen Zhi, he felt that Ying Hehua was ignorant and ridiculous.

Your Highness? Fan Kuai's eyes widened.

The Qin people call her Her Highness... Is she actually the princess who had a scandal with Li Xian?!

She is Ying Hehua? No wonder he didn't notice it, because in the past few days, he said a lot of nonsense, and she always kept a decent smile, not at all as arrogant and domineering as the rumors said!
Yan Le was determined to pull her back to Xianyang first, and then solve the other stumbling block. Li Xian had already believed the news that Ying Hehua had escaped from the forest. He had made many enemies in Kuaiji, and his eyes were injured. Madam Rong could solve him without them having to do anything. As for Liu Bang, Yan Le thought that he was probably an insignificant little person like Fan Kuai.

"The Emperor already knows that you left the tour. It turns out that you were looking for the Preliminary Book. The physical evidence is here," he glanced at Ren Xiong and the held hostage Fan Kuai, "and the witnesses are here. How do you refute it?"

Xu Zhi didn't want to reveal his identity.

But looking at it this way, Zhao Gao and he are no longer hiding.

The first thing she felt was not fear, but an unprecedented joy.

She had been observing Zhao Gao. For so many years, he had played the role of a conscientious person quite well, until he went out, when his evil side was revealed.

What she was afraid of was not that Zhao Gao would cause a lot of trouble, but that he was not the culprit who caused the destruction of the Qin State.

He had hidden his hatred for the loss of his country and his family for many years, and now his ambition was finally revealed. He turned his spearhead against her, wanting to get rid of her on her way out.

In this case, doesn't it fit in with what Yinglong said, asking her to continue the trajectory that Records of the Grand Historian wanted to complete?

She smiled at Fan Kuai and gave him a reassuring look, then she stood where she was and asked Yan Le, "Where is Li Xian?"

Yan Le sneered and walked over. There were absolutely no two people in the world who could make Ying Hehua lose face. Even Zhao Gao could not escape the consequences. However, now that he had caught Ying Hehua with crimes, he was quite showing off.

"Don't be anxious, Princess. Perhaps the Emperor will show mercy and grant him an intact body."

Ren Xiong pressed the hilt of the sword, and the bronze wristband with Taotie pattern glowed coldly: "Lord Yan, the "Preliminary Book" is a matter of the outer court, so please don't interfere."

Yan Le smiled and said, "General Ren, your words are too polite. His Majesty the Emperor did not ask Lord Meng to arrest the princess this time. The general should understand after thinking about it."

Yan Le came forward and lowered his voice, "The imperial edict is in my hands now..."

"Come here." Xu Zhi's voice trailed off with coldness.

"Your Highness, if you ask me, I will not arrest you."

She sneered, accompanied by a crisp sound.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speculate about my father and interfere with me?"

Ren Xiao was stunned for a moment.

She smiled and said with her eyes bent, "It's hard to tell whether the imperial edict is true or false, but the sword my father gave me is sharp. I haven't returned to Xianyang yet. It's up to you to decide whether I am guilty or not. If you dare to say one more word, I will chop you off with my own hands for the above crimes."

"Yong'an, you," Yan Le was stunned, and Ren Xiong's quick kneeling action made him even more confused.

Ying Hehua asked someone to help Fan Kuai, who had not yet reacted, to stand up, then turned sideways and asked with a smile, "General Ren Xiong, I want to kill this person who does not distinguish between superiors and subordinates. Is there a problem with this?"

The extremely arrogant tone brought Ren Xiong back to that snowy day in Guxiakou in a millisecond. She had deceived Zhao State's Prime Minister Guo Kai in the same way.

Ren Xiong said nothing, but just lowered his head even more.

The black-clad Qin soldiers around him just stood silently by the side with Ren Xiong.

The fingerprints on Yan Le's face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a strange red hue appeared on his pale skin.
