Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 476 The Third Step of Wuguan Raiders

In the evening, following the rapid drumming of the Nanyue Qin Army, Xing Qing immediately put on his armor and ran to the top of the city, but the Nanyue Qin Army just shot a feint before retreating back.

Only an arrow on the top of Wuguan City trembled endlessly. It was the arrow shot by Qin Ziying himself, and a letter written on sheepskin was still tied to it.

Xingqing ordered people to take down the letter and open it for a look, but it was just some ordinary greetings, the kindness of the words was like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

And I don't know why, King Qin should have deliberately considered the words when writing this letter, and there were a lot of smears and changes in the letter.

Same as yesterday, when Xing Qing retreated from the top of the city, Yan Le, who was like a dog's skin plaster, was already waiting at the gate of Xing Qing's mansion after confirming that the Nanyue Qin army had retreated.

"I heard that the King of Qin wrote a letter to the general again, and I ask the general to show it to me to prove the general's innocence." Anyway, the two had already torn their faces, and the implication of Yan Le's words was that he directly began to suspect that Xingqing and Ziying were connected.

Clay figurines are still three-pointed, not to mention Xingqing who occupies the high position of Jiuqing and commands an army of 20.

Being provoked by Yan Le again and again for more than a day, Xing Qing was also a little annoyed.

"The king of Qin and I talked about the friendship of the past. This matter has nothing to do with General Yan Le. If the general has nothing to do, he can go to the city to patrol the city, which is better than the sound of animals!"

As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you curse someone.Xing Qing's reply can be said to be ruthless.

Not only directly pointed out Yan Le's cowardly behavior, but also compared him to an animal.

"Okay... okay you Xingqing, we will know who wins and who loses in the future!" Putting down such a sentence similar to what we will wait and see from now on, Yan Le left Xingqing's mansion angrily.

After Yan Le left, Xing Qing returned to the mansion and felt that something was wrong the more he thought about it. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Although a person like Yan Le is a complete villain, he has the responsibility to monitor himself.

Who knows if he will distort the facts behind his back and make his own small report.

"Go and invite Colonel Xingming here." Xing Qing ordered.

Xingming is his younger brother, and now he is serving as a lieutenant in the army. It can be said that Xingqing is the most trusted person in the army.

"I don't know what the general ordered!" After a while, Xing Ming came to Xing Qing's mansion. Although the two were brothers, but at this time in the army, Xing Ming called Xing Qing by his military title.

"You and my brother, I believe in it, there is an important matter that requires you to return to Xianyang." When Xing Ming arrived, Xing Qing had just put down the brush in his hand.

After finishing speaking, he dried and sealed the letter he had just written, walked down the hall and handed it to Xingming, saying: "I am stationed in Wuguan, lest the treacherous villain speak falsely in the court hall, take this letter and go to Xianyang quickly, and hand it over to Zhao Gao The hand of the prime minister."

"promise!"

"Go, hurry up and hurry back."

Xingqing was worried that Yan Le would tell lies in the secret letter to Xianyang, so he described the events of the two days in detail in the letter, and continued to express his loyalty to Zhao Gao.

In his opinion, Zhao Gao should be able to let go of his guard after receiving his letter, and not be influenced by that villain Yan Le.

What Xing Qing didn't know was that he still underestimated Yan Le's level. This kind of person who caught a small braid and would not let him go had already sent two small reports to Xianyang from last night to now, and the third one was already better than him. The letter of explanation left a quarter of an hour early.

……

What puzzled Xing Qing was that apart from the anticlimactic attack on the day they set up camp, the Nanyue Qin army had never organized any siege at all except for endless drills for several days.

However, Ziying wrote to himself one letter a day without interruption.

Slowly Xing Qing also realized that he might have fallen into Ziying's pit again.

I exchanged letters with the Nanyue Qin army every day, and the Nanyue Qin army never attacked the city. In the eyes of those in power in Xianyang, I must have secretly connected with Ziying.

In order to show his loyalty to Zhao Gao, two days after Xingming left, Xingqing defended himself again with a letter, and sent Ziying's letters over the past few days together.

In fact, when Xing Qing opened the first letter that Ziying shot, he had already fallen into the pit carefully dug by Ziying. He also pretended to be clever and handed over Ziying's letter together.

You must know that the biggest hole Ziying dug for him was in these letters. The smears on the letters fell into the eyes of Zhao Gao and other people with a wide range of thinking. The drama of secretly contacting Ziying to plot a rebellion.

After Xingming arrived in Xianyang, he realized the urgency of the matter and didn't care about going back to his residence, so he rode straight to Zhao Gao's residence.

However, he only got a reply that the prime minister had entered the palace to discuss matters and hadn't returned yet. Xingming went to Zhao Gao's mansion every day to wait for three consecutive days. interview.

……

"Have you found out?" That night, Xingming hurriedly asked as soon as a general from Xingming's mansion entered the room.

"I found out. I heard from the memories of the bartender at the restaurant near the main gate of the prime minister's mansion. Although the prime minister did go out for a while two days ago, he returned after a while. As for the bartender today, he remembered clearly that the prime minister did not go out at all." The family will speak out all the news they have found out.

With Zhao Gao's current status, every time he went out, he would hug each other and he couldn't hide it. Therefore, after a little inquiring by Xingming sent people, he knew clearly that Zhao Gao didn't have time to see him these three days, but he didn't want to see him at all. .

In other words, Zhao Gao never gave his elder brother a chance to appeal, the reason why he is still dragging him in Xianyang must be...

"No, elder brother is in danger!" Thinking of this, Xingming suddenly understood the reason why Zhao Gao didn't see him, but still wanted him to wait at his house.

The only possibility is that Zhao Gao was stalling for time so as to create a chance for him to capture his brother.

In the early morning of the second day, Xingming walked out of the mansion as usual and walked in the direction of Zhao Gao's mansion. When he passed an intersection with a lot of traffic, he quickly weaved through the crowd and then hid in a secluded place. Hide in the alley.

Xingming served as a scout in the army, although he is not sure whether Zhao Gao has arranged someone to watch at the gate of his house, but it is always right to be careful with the Wannian Ship.

After a while, I saw a few more people in plain clothes at the place where I had inserted just now, looking around there as if looking for something or someone.

"Sure enough, someone is watching me!" Seeing this, Xing Ming immediately confirmed his guess.

Seeing those people heading in the direction of Zhao Gao's mansion, Xingming knew that those who were following him probably thought they hadn't caught up with him.

When these people arrive at Zhao Gao's mansion and find that they are not there, they will probably find out that something is wrong.

After calculating the time, Xingming didn't choose to go back to the mansion to pick up the horses, but went directly to the South Gate of Xianyang, bought two best horses at the livestock market near the city gate, and rushed towards Wuguan's horses all the time. Direction rushed.

Since Zhao Gao hasn't done anything to himself, it means that he probably hasn't succeeded in the elder brother's side, and there is still hope for everything.
