Chapter 9 In the fourth quarter, the thunder started

Gan Mao became a little uneasy.Ying Zhuang didn't move, and Wei Xie didn't move either. The city of Xianyang was so quiet that he panicked.Gan Mao had a secret conversation with Bai Shan while inspecting Xianyang's people's government, but Bai Shan smiled firmly: "There is Liyang Order, and there is Bai Qi, the prime minister just relax." Obviously, Bai Shan also knew nothing, Just don't worry. Gan Mao couldn't sit still.After all, I am the minister in charge of accepting the will, and the first prime minister and general in the history of Qin State. King Qin Wu has a deep friendship with him. Even if he is dissatisfied with himself at the end of his life, he will still decide the country The heavy responsibility was handed over to himself.Except for Bai Qi and himself to be ordered together, Wei Xun still chooses and relies heavily on himself. In the end, it is himself who has to speak to the government and the opposition.Thinking of this, Gan Mao couldn't sit still, and when dusk fell, he secretly went out of the city to cross Fengshui, and went straight to Zhangtai to look for Wei Xie.

At the entrance of Songlin Yuan to Zhangtai, Gan Mao was stopped by a secret mobile sentry.Gan Mao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he took out the Qin Wang Jinling arrow, but he still couldn't let it go.Gan Mao was furious, and shouted sharply: "Does Wei Xun want to rebel against the royal family? Teach him to come out! I am the prime minister and general Gan Mao!" He bowed deeply: "My son's military law is strict, and it is expressly ordered that no one can be allowed to enter Zhangtai. If I disobey the order, I will not be pardoned immediately. Please forgive me, the prime minister, and I will report it immediately." Gan Mao was furious, and let go He opened his throat and yelled: "Wei Xing—! Come out—! You dare to support yourself, Gan Mao will be the first to let you go!" The centurion was about to report, but seeing Gan Mao's stern voice, he hurriedly stopped him. Afraid that he and the soldiers would use their swords, and they were in a turmoil, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, and one of them shouted loudly: "Silence immediately! Anyone who disobeys the order will be cut off!" Flying down from the horse like an eagle, it was Wei Xie!

"Wei Xie, hehe, you are so majestic!" Gan Mao sneered with a livid face, "Give you the guts, kill Gan Mao!" "Prime Minister? How did you get here late at night?" Wei Xie strode forward, obviously surprised, "I agreed, I'll report something myself." The voice was cold and sharp. Gan Mao's voice was even more stern: "You first say: Why can't the king of Qin's Jinling arrow enter your three-foot forbidden area!" Wei Xun said coldly: "Dare to ask the prime minister, is there any golden arrow in Zuo Shuchang's residence? Is there any golden arrow in Huiwen's palace?"

"I said it! I am the prime minister and leading general Gan Mao!" "The prime minister has lived in the key for a long time and is good at handling secret affairs. Don't you hear the words 'big secret has an appointment'? White dragon fish suit, single horse, coming suddenly, and even driving straight in. If you and I are upside down, I don't know how the prime minister will deal with it? "Wei Xun's words were sharp and uncompromising. Gan Mao was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Come here. What's the matter? There's not a single word, but how can I feel relieved?"

Wei Xun cupped his hands generously: "I'm going to come out quickly, and I'm going to Xianyang to report to the prime minister. Who would want the prime minister to be so restless?" "Okay, I was reckless. How about the situation?" Gan Mao asked urgently, not wanting to get entangled. Wei Xie took Gan Mao to the back of a big pine tree and said in a low voice, "Prince Yingji has returned to Zhangtai, just wait for Mi Rong's soldiers and horses to arrive." "When will Mi Rong arrive?" "If there are no accidents, it should be before dawn tonight."

"Okay! Then we can do it tomorrow night?" "Exactly." "Where's Bai Qi?" Gan Mao suddenly became nervous again.In his mind, Bai Qi is more powerful and a pillar of support. Seeing Gan Mao asking Bai Qi so nervously, Wei Xun naturally understood, and he cupped his hands and smiled: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Bai Qi is going to do the most important thing. Do you want me to say it clearly?" "You mean, Bai went to Hexi to resist Zhao Jun?" "In battle, no one can replace Bai Qi. As long as the Zhao army's offensive collapses, no one can jump into the storm!"

Gan Mao breathed a sigh of relief: "How are you going to do it?" The mountain wind was howling, Wei Xun looked around vigilantly, then leaned into Gan Mao's ear and whispered hurriedly, and finally parted ways: "What do you think, the Prime Minister?" Gan Mao nodded thoughtfully: "It's good to draw from the bottom of the pot. But it still can't In general, we must let General Baishan stand up, he has a very high reputation in the army." "The prime minister told me, Wei Xun will keep it in mind." After agreeing on a few more specific matters, Gan Mao rode his horse back to the city, entered the south gate of Xianyang, and immediately turned into the Baishan mansion, and did not come out until the fourth watch.

At this moment, Zuo Shuchang's mansion is also busy.At dusk, Ying Zhuang received a secret report from Ying Xian's fast horse: Bai Qi led 50,000 cavalry to Hexi; Mi Rong led 2,000 cavalry to escort Yingji south from Luoshui.Ying Zhuang was surprised and delighted by these two pieces of news, he couldn't make up his mind.Bai Qi went north, could it be that Gan Mao and the others had already sensed the changes in Zhao State, and they were ready to go to war with Zhao State tit for tat?Ying Li originally agreed with Zhao Guo to launch a surprise attack on Hexi, why did he leak the news before the war started?The surprise attack has turned into an open attack and defense, Zhao Guo's chances of winning are definitely not high, and maybe he will stop there.If Zhao Guo gives up, Ying Zhuang will have only two options: either die down, or put all his eggs in one basket.Otherwise, how can the chariot that has been dragged to Banpo let go?The news that Mi Rong escorted Ying Jinan to the south made Ying Zhuang's heart skip a beat, and he vaguely felt that God had sent a great opportunity to him!After a moment of apprehension, Ying Zhuang still came to the Fuqu Pond in the back garden.

"Ying Xian can't make mistakes." After a while of silence, Ying Li finally made his first judgment, "You allow him to be a Marquis, and I feel like brothers with him, and he will never turn against you." "Since this is the case, we can't place high hopes on Zhao Guo, we have to do it ourselves!" Ying Zhuang was so excited that he punched the stone table.Ying Li thought for a moment, but then smiled leisurely: "Brother Zhuang, I have to ask you a question: how can you survive such a life as handing over power and apologizing for your sins, and being demoted and living in seclusion?" "What did you say, brother?" The hazy beauty covered by the white gauze said, "Brothers, you and I originally made this plan to revitalize the Ying clan's martial arts. The Queen Mother supports it, and the brothers are of the same heart. Even if we go underground, we can still face our ancestors. Why should we hand over power and apologize?" Say? If you want to quit, I will do it myself!"

"If this matter fails, the three clans will be joined together, and Yingqian's lineage will disappear from now on." "The throne has a sky-high price. If you can't fulfill my ambition, how about beheading!" "Okay!" Ying Li's young voice was a little hoarse, "If you think clearly about the defeat, things will be easy to do." "Brother just said, how to do it?" Ying Zhuang was obviously anxious. Ying Li sneered coldly: "Let Ying Xian take three thousand elites to Luoshui to attack and kill Ying Ji!" "I sent five hundred veterans from the mansion to follow him."

"No. I'll let him go." "Brother!" Ying Zhuang choked up suddenly. Ying Li was surprisingly calm: "Remember, those old soldiers are the last weapon. If there is no news from me within ten days, it will be the last moment." Ying Zhuang bowed deeply: "Brother, take care." Then he turned and strode forward went. In the middle of the night, a tarpaulin black car left the South Gate of Xianyang among the endless stream of business vehicles, crossed the White Stone Bridge over the Weishui River, and flew into the dense forest of the Bashui River Valley.At the time of the fourth watch of the day general, three thousand cavalry set out from the secret camp in Bashui. Relying on the express golden arrow from the Zuoshu Changfu, they drove northeast across the Weishui River, and then went north through Xiayu. Two days later, they entered the Luoshui River Valley. The canyon quietly ambush. Mi Rong's 2,000 soldiers and horses hoisted the banner of "Welcome Prince Ji back to Qin". They rumbled and rumbled along the way, completely following the envoy's routine: going on the road at Mao, resting and eating at noon, camping at dusk and staying overnight, and traveling sixty miles a day. Take your time.The strategy agreed by Mi Rong and Bai Qi was originally to go southward concurrently, so the reason why the troops were divided into two groups was just to cover Yingji's return to the country safely.Even if you advance quickly, because of the long detour, you must be behind Yingji all the way, so there is no need to move slowly.But after three days on the road, Mi Rong received Wei Xie's strict order to ride fast - to follow the envoy's road speed, and not to rush forward!Mi Rong got up and walked comfortably, but felt uneasy. It was the afternoon when the soldiers entered Fushan, and Mi Rong couldn't help but get nervous.Although he is General Lantian, he is not a general on the battlefield after all. He rarely fights in actual battle. Whenever he is in danger, he always has to read a few words of military tactics, thinking about how to deal with the enemy if he really encounters the enemy?The terrain of this mountain gorge is dangerous, with two mountains facing each other, a Luoshui River passing through the middle, and only one driveway under the Hedong Mountain.According to military strategists, this is called "the space is not square"-the horses and chariots can't turn around even if they want to turn around!The six dangerous places mentioned in the book of war - Juejian (cliffs on both sides of the bank, with water flowing in between), Patio (high and steep around and low-lying in the middle), Tianlao (surrounded by dangerous mountains, easy to enter and difficult to exit), Tianluo (overgrown with thorns, difficult to pass) , Sky sinking (jungle mountain plateau, unknown road), and sky gap (two mountains facing each other, the passage is narrow). Looking at the mountain pass, Mi Rong couldn't help muttering: "The six dangerous places, the place where treacherous people lie, must go there urgently, don't go near it." It would take half a year to go back and make a detour, let alone invite people to ridicule.With a flash of thought in his mind, Mi Rong drew his sword and ordered loudly: "Riding wild geese alone——! Cross the mountain quickly!" The iron cavalry of the Qin Army was well-trained and battle-hardened. Hearing a military order, the former commander suddenly reined in his horse, pointed his long sword at the mountain pass and shouted loudly: "Roll up the banner! Flying cavalry chain! Walk into the mountain—— !" After finishing the words, ten scout knights flew out to explore the road first, and the rest of the brigade of knights walked on horseback without stopping, and entered the mountain pass end to end.After a thousand-man team, Mi Rong led a most elite hundred-man team to protect the bronze chariot and entered the mountain pass.Until the next thousand-man team all entered the mountain pass, the outpost scouts and guard rangers did not find anything unusual, and Mi Rong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, a thunderous drum rolls across the canyon, and the roar of mountains and tsunami can be heard in the dense forests on both sides of the gorge. Pieces of red armor are rushing down from the high mountains on both sides of the dark gorge like shining pythons, and they are marching. Among the cavalry.The two groups in the center are the most fierce, they are actually going straight to the bronze chariot. Mi Rong was furious, raised his sword and yelled: "Zhao army sneak attack! Desperate bloody battle! Kill——!" When the two armies came to one place, they were inseparable.Mi Rong was amazed at the strength of the Zhao army. A centurion galloped up and shouted: "General, it's not Zhao Jun! It's Qin Jun's own family! There's a ghost!" Mi Rong suddenly came to his senses, jumped on the cart and gave orders : "Come on, call me! Soldiers of the new army—! Sit down even if you rebel—! Merit for strikeout—!" First a hundred people shouted, and then two thousand people shouted in unison, "Sit down evenly for rebellion, meritorious striker!" The roar resounded through the valley. At this moment, a knight hurriedly squeezed in front of Mi Rong's chariot, suddenly flashed a black jade badge, jumped on the chariot, and shouted in Mi Rong's ear.Mi Rong was furious: "Iron Eagle Centuries, come with me!" Flying onto the horse, he led the most elite Iron Eagle Crusaders roaring towards the mountainside. On a blue rock in the dense forest on the mountainside, Ying Li, wearing a red cloak, was watching the fierce battle in the valley on the hillside.He was very satisfied with his plan: pretending to be Zhao Jun, intercepting and killing Yingji, and drawing his salary from the bottom of the pot.Even if it doesn't happen, only Ying Xian will be exposed. As long as Gan Mao and the others investigate the case in a hurry, Ying Zhuang's surprise attack on Xianyang will be successful in one fell swoop.At the time of departure, he had already made a clear promise to Ying Xian on behalf of Ying Zhuang: if the interception is successful, Ying Xian will be the Zuo Shuzhang of the Qin State, granted the title of Marquis Baili, and will be an extremely human minister.Ying Xian, however, laughed loudly: "The power to help the king lies in the friendship with the brother, what is the matter with the official?" Even so, Ying Li still has doubts about Ying Xian. After all, Ying Xian has been in Qin for more than ten years. He knows too little about the military. Believe it or not, it depends on today.It wasn't until the ambush came out and the fight was brutal that his heart finally settled down. Unexpectedly, just a moment later, he heard Yan Zhong's constant shouting, and immediately became confused.He jumped off the rock, and was about to rush to the big banner on the mountainside to question Ying Xian, but just after rushing about Zhang Xu, he saw a black iron rider miraculously seeping out from the forest on the hillside. No one shouted, no horses neighed, but It's murderous and terrifying!Ying Li's heart felt cold, and with a long and sharp whistle, he flew from the forest and jumped towards the blue rock.He had already seen beforehand that there was a cliff behind that rock, if there was a sudden change, he would jump down the cliff and never fall into the enemy's hands.According to Ying Li's lightweight skills, if there are no trees blocking him, he can go up the cliff with one vertical leap.Just happened to collide with the horse team, Mi Rong saw a white shadow flying up, and shouted: "Catch this monster alive! Give him a first class!" This hundred-man team is the iron eagle warriors that Bai Qi specially reserved for Mi Rong. Everyone is brave and extraordinary, and they have seen the white figure flying in the forest before Mi Rong.Before waiting for the order, more than a dozen people jumped up from their horses. Although they were going uphill and wearing heavy armor, they still managed to catch up with Yingli in the blink of an eye. Come out, Qi Qi shouted: "Where is the monster? Throwing the sword is bound!" In this round, even though Ying Li had jumped onto a big tree, he was already aware of his situation, and suddenly there was a resounding and desolate cry: "Mi Xian! The villain with a heart—" flew up, Blood gushed out in the air, and a white figure actually hung on a huge dead branch protruding across the sky. The veil was lifted by the mountain wind, the long snow-white hair hung in the air, and the blood-red face faced the setting sun. It was grotesque. terrible. "Report to the general: Monster, kill yourself by biting your tongue!" The centurion could not help but shudder. "Pack up the corpse and transport it back to Xianyang!" Mi Rong looked at this grotesque alien, frowning and thinking, who is Mi Xian he called just now?Is it Ying Xian?Why did Ying Xian become Mi Xian? At dusk, the two armies of black and red parted ways: Mi Rong's black cavalry still headed south from Luoshui, while the red Zhao army went southwest and entered Guanzhong via Pinyang.Mi Rong originally wanted to meet secretly with the general of "Zhao Jun" and ask him who he is?But it was blocked by a mud-sealed bamboo tube.It was given to him by a scout Pegasus from "Zhao Jun". When he opened it, there was a line of Wei Xie's big characters on the white silk-Yingli's body was handed over to someone, return to Xianyang quickly, don't care about the rest!Without saying a word, Mi Rong handed over the creepy corpse, and without asking "Zhao Jun" where he was, he straightened out the army and went on the road. However, it was said that Ying Xian led the "Zhao Army" back to Bashui in secret, ordered the army and horses to set up camp, and then brought two iron eagle warriors who had restored the uniforms of the Qin Army to the west. After an hour, they entered Xianyang City and came directly to Zuoshu Changfu.The Fumen Chariot and Racecourse was crowded with various chariots and horses. Judging from the dirt on the bodywork and the dirt on the horse's legs, many of them were royal nobles from afar.The country was in turmoil and people were suspicious. The branches of the royal family and the old aristocrats in Longxi, Beidi, Yongcheng, Liyang and other places where the royal family lived together sent their own relatives and children to inquire about the trend of the Xianyang court. .When they arrived in Xianyang, the first thing that came to mind of these royal family veterans and old family heroes was the prestigious Zuo Shu Zhang Ying Zhuang, because he was the direct son of the prestigious Yingqian and an important official of the royal family.But the prime minister, Gan Mao, was from Chu, and he was not close to the old courtiers.Gan Mao's prime minister's mansion is even more neglected, and the royal palace does not allow courtiers to enter the palace, so naturally the palace is empty.As a result, Zuo Shuchang's mansion became the only place where courtiers walked in Xianyang King City, and it became very lively and beautiful. Seeing this, Ying Xian bypassed the back door and muttered to the doorman on duty, who hurried in to report.After a while, the gatekeepers came in a hurry and led the three of Ying Xian to a stone pavilion in the back garden. "Quickly tell me, what's the matter?" Ying Zhuang's voice was a little hoarse due to nervousness and anxiety. "Report to Uncle Wang: the interception was successful, here is the head." Ying Xian waved his hand, and a sharp soldier took a wooden box and opened it, and a bloody long-haired head was in sight! Ying Zhuang panted heavily and looked at him for a while: "Dark and thin! Is this Yingji?" He had only seen Yingji as a child, but he couldn't imagine Yingji who was sixteen years old, so he blurted out ask. "Report to Uncle Wang: There are many wars and famines in the country of Yan, and Yingji has been tortured so much that he is called 'human dry country' by the people of Yan. This is his personal jade pendant." Ying Xian took out a shiny black jade pendant from his bosom. The card was handed over. Jade pendant is a favorite ornament of the time, and it is also a sign of identity.Commoner scholars generally only hang one or two pieces around their waists, while nobles carve beautiful jade into various shapes and wear them on their chests or waists in strings. The degree of sophistication becomes a token of a person's identity.Qin Feng has always been rough and simple, so naturally he doesn't value such imaginary things as much as the countries in the Central Plains, so Peiyu is much simpler.Even noble sons usually only have one or two pieces of jade, but one piece must be a specific identity mark.Each member of the Qin royal family has a specific birth jade pendant, with the image of a goshawk on the front and the name and date of birth inscribed by parents on the back.This kind of jade pendant is not only recorded in the royal library, but also has the special mark of Shangfang Jade Craftsman, which cannot be forged.Ying Zhuang is originally a child of the royal family, so he naturally knows the secrets. Anyway, he saw that this jade pendant has a horned dragon on the front, and three lines of inscriptions on the back: "Father, mother, Mi Yingji, Wuchen Chunyue", and the edge of the back is the name of Qin Guoshangfang Yugong. "There is Zhishi's cut", so you know that it is undoubtedly Yingji's jade pendant, and you can't help but feel overjoyed: "Good! Show your nephew the first merit! Great Qin pillar!" "Ying Xian didn't dare to take merit, and he was willing to accept the crime. Please punish Wang Shu." Ying Xian bowed deeply, and was choked up for a while. "What do you mean?" Ying Zhuangda was surprised. "It's obvious that the guards are weak, Uncle Li Wang... died in battle..." Ying Zhuang's eyes darkened, and he staggered and leaned on the pillar of the pavilion: "What are you talking about? Say, say it again?" "Uncle Li, you're dead!" Ying Xian kowtowed, crying loudly. Ying Zhuang's face was pale and his lips trembled: "Corpse, where is the corpse?" An armored warrior unloaded a long white cloth burden, silently placed it on the stone table in the pavilion and retreated.Ying Zhuang moved to the stone table with difficulty, opened three layers of white cloth, and a slender body with white hair and red face curled up into a ball appeared in front of his eyes, his teeth were clenched tightly, his eyes were wide open, it was so hideous that he couldn't bear to look at it. "Brother—" Ying Zhuang let out a roar, then threw himself on Ying Li's body and passed out. Ying Xian jumped up, hugged Ying Zhuang quickly, and pinched his Renzhong acupoint.A moment later, Ying Zhuang opened his eyes, suddenly pushed Ying Xian away, hugged Ying Li's body again, and burst into tears.Ying Xian stood aside, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Wang must be sad. It's very inconvenient to disturb outsiders. It's a very important time." Finally, Ying Zhuang stopped crying: "Tell me, how did he die?" His voice was terribly cold. "Uncle Li was holding a flag in the dense forest on the hillside to give orders. Mi Rong led a team of sharp soldiers to attack and surrounded Uncle Li. Thirty soldiers around him were all killed in battle. Uncle Li bit his tongue and committed suicide because he couldn't get away... Me and the soldiers They were fighting in the river valley, and it was too late to rush up the hillside after getting the report. Although they killed Mi Rong's centurion, Mi Rong escaped in the chaos." Ying Zhuang gritted his teeth: "Mi Rong! I want you to die without a place to bury you!" Turning to face Ying Li's body, he gently wiped his eyes with his hand: "Brother, Ying Ji is already dead, so just close your eyes Right. I will seize the palace tonight, and three days later I will bury my elder brother with the ceremony of the King of Qin, so that the world will know that Ying Li is the number one outstanding person..." As he spoke, tears poured down, and he picked up Ying Li's body and walked into the woods After that, Fuqu Pond.Ying Xian stared at Ying Zhuang's figure in a daze, and couldn't help shaking his head heavily and sighing. As dusk fell, a black-covered car followed the car into the south gate of Xianyang, and behind the car were two or three strong men in civilian clothes mixed in the crowd.The black-covered car went straight into the Prime Minister Gan Mao's Mansion on Wanggong South Street, while the strong men entered Xianyang Palace one after another through the side doors at dusk.At the same time, the official office of Lingbaishan in Xianyang closed the door, and the back door opened in the secluded alley, but fast horses frequently came in and out, creating a tense atmosphere.At nightfall, the number of guards at the south gate suddenly increased, and Shangshangfang, where merchants from the six countries lived together in the south gate, also suddenly appeared many strong men in civilian clothes wandering the night market. It was almost midnight, and the dimly lit Shangshangfang was still full of cars and horses, and the nightlife of merchants from the six countries was still full of steam.Zuo Shu Chang's Mansion, located on the edge of Shangshangfang, was unusually quiet, and even the gate was closed.With the sound of the third watch on the South Gate Arrow Tower, those strong men in civilian clothes who roamed the night market hurriedly gathered towards the palace.Suddenly, there was a sound of killing at the palace gate, and the strong men in civilian clothes suddenly turned into sword-like warriors, rushing into the palace like a tide. Yingli's original plan was to use the golden arrows owned by Zuo Shuzhang as a basis to let the old fief soldiers hiding in the mansion enter the palace in batches as craftsmen; secretly raided the sleeping palace and the underground palace in the middle of the night, and found the body of King Wu of Qin; Then it was immediately announced to the government and the public, and Gan Mao's party was accused of "conspiracy and regicide";As soon as the body of King Wu of Qin comes out, Gan Mao and other ministers with real power will not be able to escape the crime of "murdering the monarch". Broken these rootless new favorites.The fundamental reason here is: In the eyes of the Chinese people, King Qin is still on the throne despite being injured, and the sudden appearance of the body of the long-dead King Qin is not a conspiracy to kill the king, but why?At that time, Gan Mao's party could not refute the secret of the funeral, and Ying Zhuang would not give him a chance to refute.In doing so, even in case of failure, brothers Ying Zhuang and Ying Li will also be warriors protecting the country in the eyes of the Chinese people. However, the tragic death of his elder brother Ying Li made Ying Zhuang furious, and he immediately accepted Ying Xian's suggestion: "The final general is willing to lead two thousand elite soldiers into Xianyang, and at the same time storm the mansion of Ganmao and Mirong. Revenge!" Thus, the original secret raid turned into a public attack, and the attack from the palace turned into a simultaneous violent attack in three places. Ying Zhuang was familiar with the court, so he personally led the old army to attack the palace.Yingxian's two thousand strong men in civilian clothes split into two groups, and stormed the Prime Minister's Mansion and General Lantian's Mansion at the same time.Both of these two mansions are located in Zhengyangfang outside the palace square, only two arrows away from the palace, and the sound of killing each other can be heard, and there is immediate chaos inside and outside the palace. Outside the palace square, as usual, there was only one centurion patrolling.Although the imperial guards were elite, they seldom fought battles, and they had the mission of showing dignity, so their weapons were mainly prominent spears, axes and axes.These types of weapons are completely in the spring and autumn shape, with separate heads and bodies, and a large shape. Although they are extremely well-made and shine brightly even at night, they are far inferior to long swords and short knives in use, and have already been eliminated on the battlefield. , It is simply incomparable with the actual combat long weapons such as guns, spears, and broadswords cast in one piece in the middle of the Warring States Period.Ying Zhuang's 600 veterans were all dead soldiers in hundreds of battles. Each of them carried a fine iron epee weighing more than ten kilograms, or a thick-backed broad-bladed short knife, and fought bravely. On the spot, blood was gurgling on the big white jade bricks in the square. As soon as the centurion in the square collapsed, the maids and servants ran around screaming and panicking, but there was no forbidden army coming.Seeing this scene, Ying Zhuang immediately decided that Gan Mao's party was unprepared, and immediately waved his big hand and ordered: "Split in three directions, and the body of my king must be found!" Immediately divided into three ways to enter the bedroom palace, secret hall and underground palace. Yingli once reminded: "Where the king's corpse is located must be the cold room of the palace." Because the corpse must be frozen in summer to prevent the rotten smell from permeating the palace.But in order to be safe, Yingli still planned three places to hide the corpses in advance.Ying Zhuang was familiar with the court and agreed with Ying Li's judgment very much. At this time, he personally led two hundred veterans into the palace. Rushing from the square to the bedroom, one has to pass through three halls and winding corridors and pavilions along the way. The maids and servants are scattered all the way, but the two hundred veterans of Yingzhuang completely ignore them and only rush towards the bedroom.When they rushed to the stone wall gate of the bedroom, there was another centurion waiting in formation.Ying Zhuang didn't say much, he just yelled: "Kill!" He rushed over first.Ying Zhuang was originally fierce and powerful, but he also had an unparalleled family heirloom weapon in his hand-Chi You Tianyue Sword. The sword is so powerful that it is invincible!With one rush, the centurions guarding the tall stone gate were killed and wounded everywhere, and the old soldiers rushed in screaming and killing. Wangcheng Grand Palace is a palace garden covering an area of ​​more than 100 mu, which is divided into several small courtyards.The king's bedroom is adjacent to the queen's bedroom, located in the central area of ​​the entire big bedroom, with pools on the left and forests on the right, bamboo in front and mountain in the back, unusually deep and quiet.Except for court meetings, the monarch mostly handles official documents in the study of the palace.Ying Zhuang lived in Huiwen's palace for 21 years, and he was familiar with every plant and tree here. After killing the centurion, he led the old army and rushed into the king's palace in the east. Rushing through the courtyard and the bamboo grove and thatched pavilion, you will find a tall house surrounded by a square.The appearance of this house is simple and heavy, but it is actually a triple roof with big stone walls. Not only is it extremely strong, but it is also very comfortable in winter and cool in summer.With six bays on each side, twenty-four houses form a patio-style courtyard.When Ying Zhuang's veterans rushed into the courtyard, the entire bedroom was completely silent under the torches.Ying Zhuang's heart suddenly turned cold, and an ominous premonition made him startled suddenly. At this moment, the roof suddenly burst into laughter: "Master Zuo Shu, it's just in time!" Ying Zhuang raised his head, but saw a black iron tower standing on the north side of the roof in the hazy night, his voice was indistinguishable, so he couldn't help shouting in a deep voice, "Who are you? How dare you enter the palace to seek rebellion?!" The black iron tower on the roof burst into another burst of laughter: "That's true for Xia Liyang Commander Wei Xun! Who's plotting against you? The sword has spoken!" After saying that, he saw a command flag in his hand chopping down with a burst of sharp horns. The number suddenly pierced the night sky.Along with the sharp ox horn, the palace was surrounded by thunder and thunder, and four black human walls were erected on the four roofs. "Master Zuo Shu! Ambushes surrounded the palace!" A government official rushed in with a torch and shouted in panic. Ying Zhuang hadn't opened his mouth yet, when Wei Yan from the roof said loudly: "The old soldier listened: Ying Zhuang is a wolf with ambition, let him be shot or killed! You old Qin heroes will not be prosecuted when they leave the palace! But if you commit treason, you will be guilty of the same crime!" Ying Zhuang said coldly With a smile, he surrounded the old soldiers and said impassionedly: "I wanted to be successful and share the Qin Kingdom with you! I don't want to fall into the evil tricks of the thieves. You all have wives and homes, so go out of the palace!" Under the torch, two hundred veterans But "Shua!" raised his sword and shouted in unison: "Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the national crisis together! Swear to follow the son!" Ying Zhuang's eyes suddenly became moist, he bowed deeply to the veterans, and turned to face the roof It was a roar: "Wei Xun Chu thief! Ying Zhuang will die, and the crime of the thief will be exposed to the world!" Chi You Tianyue sword waved: "Rush into the palace! Find the king's corpse!" The two hundred veterans shouted, and then Rush towards the big house on all sides. At this moment, a more violent cry suddenly sounded, and the shouts of the old soldiers gathered in the small courtyard, which was as shocking as a thunderstorm.With the sound of thunder, four rows of black iron towers with full armor burst out from the big houses on all sides. The armor leaves clanged, the epee shone brightly, and the bronze masks were full of splendor.Looking at the formation, one knew that this was the arrival of Qin Jun's Tie Ying Ruishi.Ying Zhuang was startled, and before he had time to issue an order, he heard the old soldiers shouting in unison: "Kill!" and rushed forward to kill together. These old soldiers were experienced in many battles, and they were determined to die. The more they encountered a strong enemy, the more courageous their fighting spirit became. Seeing the Iron Eagle warriors dispatched at this moment, they aroused even more victorious and murderous desires. Obviously, it is the highest honor to kill an iron eagle sharp warrior.Even so, the veterans were all in their 40s or 50s after all, and most of them were suffering from numerous injuries. When they rushed to the Iron Eagles, it was as if they had bumped into an iron wall.The iron eagle warriors of the Qin army are all warriors chosen from thousands of people. A suit of fine iron armor weighs about a hundred catties, and each specially made epee weighs at least thirty catties. The cowhide combat boots inlaid with iron pages, when placed in the local area, it is a living iron tower of two feet, which is more than two ends taller than the civilian veterans.Although there are only five iron eagle warriors in each row, and the distance is spread out, each corridor is tightly blocked.The old soldiers shouted to kill, it was almost a ten-to-one siege.The black iron towers stood silently, but when swords came, and the epee stretched out and stirred, four or five swords would always fly up to the roof with sharp whistles.In a short while, seven out of ten of the swords in the hands of the veterans dropped their hands. The old soldiers rushed forward with their bare hands, roaring in all directions.According to the tradition of the battle formation, this kind of desperate fight to the death is the most headache for the strong side.This is also the reason why the Art of War repeatedly reminds the soldiers to "don't chase the poor" and "put them to death and live later". However, the scene at this moment was horrifying, and even Ying Zhuang who was standing under the corridor was stunned. If the iron eagle warriors swing their epees, how can the flesh and blood of these unarmed veterans withstand the momentary slaughter of the iron tower warriors who can fight alone in the siege of hundreds of people and stand to the end?Perhaps, what the veterans wish for at this moment is this tragic death.But the strange thing is that the iron eagle warriors put aside their heavy swords together, grabbed the old soldiers with their bare hands and threw them to the roof, only to see the figures whizzing up into the night sky, just like the old soldiers committing suicide Fly to the general.The old soldiers who had not been thrown out some crawled, some stood, some jumped, or hugged the black iron tower's legs and waist and pulled it violently, or hammered violently on the back and head of the black iron tower, but the black iron tower was still black. None of the iron towers moved at all, none of them moved, and none of them stopped waving and throwing their arms.In a short while, with the loud drum-like counting from the roof, the two hundred veterans in the courtyard were nowhere to be seen. Ying Zhuang's hair stood on end and his blood was throbbing, and he flew up to the roof with a thunderous roar, "Wei Xie Chu thief! Do you dare to fight Ying Zhuang?!" To Ying Zhuang's surprise, there were only a few figures on the roof. Under the hazy moonlight, Wei Xie laughed loudly: "Ying Zhuang, are you bullying me by relying on your Chi You Tianyue sword?" "Xiao Xiao Chu thief!" Ying Zhuang yelled, and with a flick of his right hand, the bow-like Chi You Tianyue sword flashed a cyan light, and it was nailed to the stone eagle on the roof with a bang.Ying Zhuang sneered and said, "Take care of you Chu thief, do you need to tarnish the Tianyue sword?" "Okay! Ying Zhuang is considered a tough guy!" Wei Xun praised loudly, with a flick of his wrist, the iron sword also "poof!" plunged into the big tile: "Wei Xun will also fight him once today!" Then he stepped on the huge The thick tile strode over. At this moment, I heard a shout from the bedroom: "Wait a minute, brother! Mi Rong is here--" A black shadow swooped up in the courtyard, and landed in front of Ying Zhuang with a leisurely smile: "Master Zuo, don't want to Kill Mi Rong?" When Ying Zhuang heard the word Mi Rong, his teeth snarled, "Mi Rong, but you killed my elder brother Yingli?" "Thieves in the chaos of the country, everyone can kill him! Killing the treacherous monster is a great achievement by Mi Rong." "Chu thief! How dare you curse him!" Ying Zhuang yelled, pulled out a gleaming dagger from his combat boots, and raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Brother Li, look at me slaying the Chu thief, to avenge you !” With a lunge, the dagger pierced Mi Rong's chest. Mi Rong, on the other hand, had a half-moon Wu hook. When he leaped back with a slanted chest, he was already two steps away.Mi Rong is in charge of military administration, although he is not good at battle formations, he is a first-class Wuhook master in personal sword duels.Wu Hook was originally a special sword weapon of Chu, Wu and Yue, the three most powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River.The former flies lightly, while the latter opens and closes wide.Ying Zhuang was originally from the family of the old Qin generals, and in addition to his strength and bravery, although he held a dagger of more than one foot in his hand, he fought with unrivaled might and strength.Mi Rong, on the other hand, was tall and slender, and leaped and moved extremely nimbly. Half a month ago, Wu hooked, slashed, stabbed and pointed, and unexpectedly blocked Ying Zhuang's killer attack like a flash of lightning. Wei Xie had already retreated to the opposite roof. Seeing that Mi Rong might not be able to defeat Ying Zhuang, he split the command flag in his hand, and immediately flew up five iron eagle fighters from the courtyard of the palace, and the roof creaked when they stepped on it!Wei Xun was planning by the government: if you can kill in a duel, then kill, if you can't kill in a duel, then kill, and you must not use the pedantic duel rules to get rid of this culprit.At this moment, Mi Rong and Ying Zhuang were in a close fight: Mi Rong was light and nimble, but couldn't get close to the fatal stab; Ying Zhuang was brave and powerful, but always missed the fatal blow.Wei Xun suddenly shouted: "The Queen Mother, please go back to the palace, it has nothing to do with you!" Ying Zhuang was being led to the eaves by Mi Rong, who was constantly jumping up and down. When he heard the sound and turned his head, Mi Rong just kicked him in the chest. Howling, there is no sound. Wei Xun ordered loudly: "Clean up the corpses! Get out of the palace!" A moment later, Wei Xun received three good news: the other two old troops in the bedroom were captured alive by 200 Tie Ying warriors in ambushes in the same way;与白山的一千铁骑会合，包围了嬴壮府邸，将府中人口全部拘押；甘茂亲自率领一千甲士进入王宫守护，各个要害重地均被看守戒严。 甘茂与魏冄在王宫广场会合，第一句话便是：“嬴壮如何？不能留口！” 魏冄哈哈大笑：“英雄所见略同！来！请丞相验明正身！” 两个士卒抬过一具尸体，甘茂举着火把一端详，竟是长吁一声软倒在地上。
