Chapter 121 Chapter Two

Regarding Fan Yuqi’s half-day rebellion tour of Xianyang Palace, the real situation at that time was as follows: Fan Yuqi led 3,000 elite soldiers and came straight to Xianyang Palace early in the morning with the warrants from the Empress Dowager Huayang and Cheng Yu.In front of Xianyang Palace, there are only a dozen officials guarding them.Fan Yuqi didn't have much to say, he stepped forward and chopped it down.In this way, even breaking through the two doors did not encounter any serious obstacles.Fan Yuqi thought to himself: No, this rebellion is too easy. However, when breaking through the third door, Fan Yuqi saw a person.

Yes, only one person. A man standing in the very center of the door. He just stood so straight, with a half-smile on his face, but he had a force of his own, which made people dare not commit crimes lightly.Fan Yuqi's sudden appearance didn't seem to surprise him.And the blood dripping from Fan Yuqi's sword never frightened him at all.The man didn't even wear a sword.He just raised his eyes and looked at Fan Yuqi and his three thousand elite soldiers with contempt.He almost sighed in disappointment, which clearly meant: There are only 3,000 people, why not 30,000? Such a bizarre scene was not what Fan Yuqi expected.He stopped in his tracks, bowed to the man and said, "Master Ke Qing!"

Li Si returned the salute and said, "Lord Lieutenant." Fan Yuqi really wanted to step forward and cut Li Si who was in the way with his sword, but Li Si's determined appearance made him feel very uncertain.He decided to ask about the situation before it was too late.So he asked, "Why is Master Keqing here?" Li Silang responded in a loud voice: "Lord Lieutenant Qin Wangzhi came to meet him, and specially ordered Li Si to meet him at this gate." Fan Yuqi was taken aback.Could it be that King Qin already knew that I was going to rebel?Isn't there an ambush there?

Li Si smiled and said, "Why did your lord lieutenant stop moving forward? Li Si would like to tell you the truth. At this moment, there are less than 300 guards inside and outside Xianyang Palace, so your lord lieutenant can move forward with confidence." A truly responsible rebel will not be like Mr. Ah Q: Rebellion?interesting.Go together.So go together.The truly responsible rebels will lose their own heads if they don't lose other people's heads, and their nerves are naturally highly nervous.The more Li Si said that there was no one inside, the more hesitant Fan Yuqi became.

If Fan Yuqi's heart was beating a drum at this time, Li Si's heart was beating a dull gong.God knows, Li Si didn't lie, and all the guards in Xianyang Palace may only have more than two hundred guards.And King Qin Yingzheng was in Xianyang Palace, if Fan Yuqi forced his way in, the consequences would be disastrous. Li Si already felt that there was a conspiracy between Fan Yuqi and Cheng Yu, and asked Ying Zheng to strengthen his defenses.But Yingzheng refused to believe it, and Lu Buwei even more refused to believe it.Yingzheng focused all his attention on guarding against the clan's rebellion, such as Lang Zhongling Wang Wan, Nei Shisi, etc., who could have been used to defend Yingzheng, but were transferred to guard against the clan.At this critical juncture, Li Si knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he wanted to delay Fan Yuqi's stay with his own strength, waiting for Wang Wan and Nei Shisi to bring troops to help.

Fan Yuqi confronted Li Si for a while, then suddenly pointed his sword at Li Si, and said: "This is a plan to delay the army, Ke Qing deceived me and I don't know?" Li Si laughed loudly, and said loudly: "What a plan to slow down the army. Lord Lieutenant is indeed very wise. But with the wisdom of Lord Lieutenant, why is he sold by Lord Chang'an without knowing it?" Li Si's casual words hit Fan Yuqi's vital point.He had already placed all his bets on Cheng Yu. If Cheng Yu really wanted to betray him, he deserved to die without a place to bury him. Seeing that Fan Yuqi was silent, Li Si said again: "What do you think, Lord Lieutenant, about Fu Qiubo's tricks?"

When Fu Qiubo's name was uttered, Fan Yuqi panicked even more.Fu Qiubo's whereabouts are mysterious, how did Li Si know?How much did Li Si know about their plans? Seeing that Fan Yuqi was out of control, Li Si said again, "Li Si has a few words for the general's sake. Will the general listen?" "Say." Li Si made an inviting gesture, "General, please move." Fan Yuqi had heard of Li Si's eloquence for a long time.According to him, the hen can rush to announce the dawn, and the rooster can try to lay eggs.Its allure is as strong as the siren's song, irresistible.Your best bet is to plug your ears with wax or chain yourself to the mast, like Odysseus, and never listen.

However, Fan Yuqi still couldn't help being curious, and wanted to try how amazing Li Si was.He entered the gate, but saw that the palace was empty, and it didn't look like there was an ambush.But what about the fourth door and the fifth door? Li Sidao: "Using Mrs. Fan as a bait, the lieutenant and Lord Chang'an put on a good show, which almost covered the world's eyes and ears, but failed to deceive the king of Qin. The lieutenant has done his best to Lord Chang'an, and today because of Lord Chang'an, He did not hesitate to break into the Xianyang Palace and committed a heinous crime. However, how did Lord Lieutenant know how Lord Chang An treated Lord Lieutenant?"

"how?" Li Si stared at Fan Yuqi closely, and said, "Madam Fan is where?" "Still in Chang'an Lord's Mansion. After the matter is completed, Fan will welcome him back." Li Si asked in surprise, "Madam is dead, doesn't the lieutenant know?" Fan Yuqi said angrily, "Nonsense." Li Si smiled and said: "The lieutenant entrusted his wife to Mr. Chang'an. This is because hungry wolves are responsible for meat and thirsty horses are used to protect water. Madam is extremely beautiful, and Mr. Chang'an is still young and strong, and his lust is in full swing. Madam is beautiful now. Chang'an Don’t you have any intentions to get your fingers dirty? According to what Li Si heard, Mr. Chang’an did not abide by his agreement with the lieutenant, but he was determined to tarnish his wife’s innocence. Poor lady, in order to preserve his reputation and not to shame the general, he would rather throw himself into the well. Don't let Lord Chang'an succeed. In Li Si's opinion, even though Madam committed suicide, the one who killed her is really Lord Chang'an."

Fan Yuqi became even angrier, and said: "Keqing dares to talk nonsense again, don't blame Fan for being ruthless with his sword." Li Sidao: "The lieutenant doesn't believe it, please come with Li Si." Fan Yuqi was suspicious, he didn't know where Li Si wanted to take him, so he refused to do it.Li Si pointed to the side hall in front, and said: "Li Si will take the lieutenant to see his wife right now. If Li Si is cunning, the lieutenant has a sword in his hand, within two steps, Li Si's blood can be splashed on the spot, why should the lieutenant worry?"

Fan Yuqi then followed Li Si to the side hall.Inside the side hall, it was really empty, but there was only one person lying in the middle of the side hall.Fan Yuqi took a closer look and almost passed out.Li Si didn't lie to him, it was really his long-lost wife, Mi Xin.Fan Yuqi knelt in front of Mi Xin, but he saw that Mi Xin's face was as beautiful as when he was born.For a long time, Fan Yuqi had been indulging in the gentleness, which had gradually faded away in Mi Xin's heart.I don't want to meet today, even though we are far away from the boundary of yin and yang, the tenderness and sweetness of the past suddenly appear in an instant, which is heart-piercing. Li Si looked at the trembling Fan Yuqi, and said: "Li Siben had no intention of disturbing Madam's soul, but secretly held grudges for Madam. The poor Madam was wronged, and she died without seeing the lieutenant and her four children. Li Si That's why I dared my wife to go underground and express my feelings to the lieutenant face to face." Li Si was agitating, but Fan Yuqi didn't listen at all.Holding Mi Xin's face in his hands, with tears in his smile, he said: Beauty, give me another smile.Mi Xin naturally didn't laugh.Fan Yuqi went up to kiss Mi Xin again.He hummed intermittently in his mouth: come back, beauty... I long for your beauty; Desire ignited in my veins... I kissed your mouth, what a bitter lips, could it be the taste of blood? ...Maybe it's the taste of death... Come back, beauty, kiss me... But seeing Fan Yuqi lying on the body of the dead Mi Xin, talking and kissing with her, the scene was so eerie and weird, as the only bystander, Li Si couldn't help but feel his stomach churning. Let's face it, Mi Xin will never wake up again.She is not a sleeping beauty who can be awakened by a prince's kiss.Besides, even if Mi Xin is really Sleeping Beauty, the prince she is waiting for will be the distant and proud Cheng Yu, but not Fan Yuqi who has been married to her for more than ten years. Fan Yuqi got up, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "It's just a woman, what's the point of tears? Fan Yuqi, Fan Yuqi, what kind of hero are you?" Li Si was determined to delay time, so he said sternly, "Why should the lieutenant blame himself. A saint forgets his feelings, and the worst thing is not to love them; what loves most is my generation." Fan Yuqi thought so too, no matter what, the death of Mi Xin, a husband and wife of more than ten years, was worth a few tears from him.Li Si said again: "Li Si heard the name of the lieutenant like a thunderbolt, thinking that he was only one person in the world. My wife committed herself to her back then, and she also regarded the lieutenant as a hero of the world. Now that my wife died because of Lord Chang'an, the lieutenant did not want revenge, but turned against the eagle and dog. This is not what the wife wants, and it is not what the husband should do." Fan Yuqi was aroused by Li Si, and his anger was obvious.Li Si said again: "The lieutenant must have doubts in his heart. Lord Chang'an's 100,000 troops should have returned to Xianyang. Where is Lord Chang'an? The lieutenant was sold by Lord Chang'an. It was supposed to be a combination of inside and outside, but Lord Chang'an had other plans. The king of Qin died, and the successor must be Lord Chang'an. The lieutenant failed to kill the king of Qin. If the lieutenant died, the king of Chang'an would stand still, and he would still be the king of Chang'an. The king must use the lieutenant's head to avenge the king of Qin, to show the world righteousness, and to show the orthodoxy of succession. From Li Si's point of view, whether it is successful or not, the lieutenant must die." In short, Fan Yuqi was dazed by Li Si's lobbying.He almost forgot that he had come to rebel.There was too much information at once, which made him overwhelmed and unable to digest it.Fan Yuqi then said: "So, the plan will be safe?" Li Si responded casually: "Even if the lieutenant does not love his life, he should consider it as a small family. What is wrong with the child? What is the mother? The lieutenant is willing to die with him? The lieutenant is just misleading and bewitched. If he reined in the precipice, it is not too late The King of Qin and the Xiangguo both had high expectations for the lieutenant. When Lieutenant Xu made a contribution to the crime and led the army to conquer Lord Chang'an. After capturing the Lord Chang'an, he will not only pay for the crime, but also be relied on by the King of Qin. The general is now the lieutenant of Qin, and in another day he will be the lieutenant of Qin It is Bai Qi and Meng Ao." When Li Si said later, his words were full of flaws.Fan Yuqi also felt that something was wrong, he was thinking about it, when there was a sudden killing sound outside the hall.Li Si was overjoyed, knowing that Lang Zhong Ling Wang Wan and Nei Shi Si led the troops to arrive.Fan Yuqi was furious, knowing that he had tricked him, he drew his sword and cut Li Si.Li Si escaped, although he kept his head, but a large piece of hair was cut off.Li Si turned and fled, Fan Yuqi raised his sword and gave chase. Langzhong ordered Wang Wan and Nei Shisi to shout: "I am ordered to arrest the first thief Fan Yuqi, and the rest will not be asked." So the soldiers surrendered one after another.Fan Yuqi was still chasing Li Si closely, Li Si almost thought that he was going to cry today, and shouted for Wang Wan to save me.Fan Yuqi chased after a hundred paces, only then was he stopped by the soldiers, Fan Yuqi bravely rushed out, only then did the scene of escaping from the city gate in front begin.
