Taihang Li Palace.

Meng Tian stood on the outer wall and observed the enemy situation outside the palace. He was a 20-year-old man, and was responsible for the defense of the Qin Emperor's Eastern Tour, and had the important task of protecting the emperor.

The terrain is dangerous and there are many places where soldiers can be hidden. Over the past few days, the thief shadows outside the mountain have been elusive. However, in Meng Tian's opinion, this is at most just a bluff!

The guards around Qin Emperor were all Guanzhong soldiers. They were well-trained and well-trained. They were a little bandits and were not easy to kill.

However, even though he thought so, Meng Tian could not do this. After all, the safety of Emperor Qin was the most important, and recruiting soldiers from nearby counties to fight the enemy was indeed the safest way.

"Mr. Meng Tian, ​​the military lieutenant Xu Rong has brought 10,000 troops to protect the enemy."

The person who spoke was a young general. Because he had made contributions when he followed the prince to attack Shushan, he later followed the prince to Baiyue and killed many enemies. He became the general after he had made contributions.

However, compared to these dazzling contributions, the identity of this general himself is the most eye-catching. He is the grandson of the military god Wang Jian, the son of the general Wang Ben, and Wang Li!

The Meng family and the Wang family are the two most prominent families among the Qin military meritorious families. The descendants of all generations have received important positions in the army and are believed by the Qin emperor.

Meng Tian and Wang Li are both eldest sons in the two families, but they are said to be opponents, but with Wang Li's performance today, they are more than one better than Meng Tian.

"I understand!" Meng Tian nodded and said, "Let Xu Rong lead the soldiers to station on Pingpo, two miles away from the palace. After the settlement is completed, the commander's army will immediately clear out the bandits."

"I will obey the order!"

Just after Wang Li left, Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, suddenly came and walked up to the low wall.

"Mr. Meng Tian, ​​don't know how the defense is arranged?" Li Si asked after holding his hands, looking at the county soldiers who had already paused in the distance.

“It’s ready.”

The Montessori clan and Li Si always had disagreements in the face and heart. However, it was not hostility in the position, but the inherent differences between civil officials and military generals.

In this era, it is normal for civil officials to practice martial arts and military generals to practice martial arts. How could a general who commands the three armies be a reckless man who does not understand literature and does not understand military tactics? And the prime minister who ranks first among all officials and is not a man of military affairs on paper.

Li Si was under the charge of the Legalists and also held the position of Prime Minister of Qin. Over the years, he assisted the Qin Emperor and established the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system with concentrated imperial power to ensure the stability of the Qin Dynasty.

In this system, military is an important part, but definitely not the most important part.

This is the fundamental difference between the two.

In Meng Tian's view, the remnants of the six kingdoms were not cleared and the northern Huns were not destroyed, but Li Si kept clamoring to reduce the expenditure of the army. Without the suppression of the army, I don't know what chaos would be like in the world.

The two quarreled many times, but no one could convince anyone. Under normal circumstances, Li Si would not ask how Meng Tian used troops, so when he appeared on the city wall, Meng Tian was really surprised.

"Meng Tian, ​​you must be prepared." Li Si looked at the dim sky outside the city, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he reminded him.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, the last general will not let the bandits disturb the Holy Lord." Meng Tian said confidently.

"Does the general think that some bandits are worth the effort?"

"What does the Prime Minister mean?" Meng Tian said in a brief moment. Li Si's words seemed to have another meaning?

But, what did he want to say?

Li Si did not continue to speak, turned around, walked down the city wall with his hands, and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor is safe and dangerous, general, don't be careful." Meng Tian recalled Li Si's words in his mind, and thought that this time it was indeed a bit of a big deal. Although summoning local county soldiers to fight the enemy was an example when the Holy Lord encountered bandits,

Meng Tian looked at the county soldiers who were camping, frowned without feeling the frown, and said in thought: "It's not for these bandits, why is that?"

....

Among the dense forests.

Zhao Xie was surrounded by Long Qi and a group of important officials, and was discussing specific assassination plans before leaving the palace map.

"This is the structural diagram of Li Palace." Zhao Xie spread out an old animal skin map. "This Li Palace was built by my Zhao family. This picture is the original drawing. After the tyrant destroyed Zhao, this Li Palace was mostly repaired, but the overall structure did not change much. Xu Rong had already led his troops outside the Li Palace, and caught them off guard tonight."

"But Meng Tian acted carefully and did not let General Xu Rong's men enter the palace. How do we open the city gate?"

Long asked.

Zhao Xie smiled, pointed to the gate of Ligong City, and said, "We don't have to open the gate. General Xu Rong used the excuse of protecting the carriage and marched in a hurry, deliberately disconnecting from the baggage troops behind. Therefore, it takes a day to arrive. The 10,000 troops of the food and grass tonight need the food and grass to be responded to by Ligong City. Therefore, this is the best opportunity."

Zhao Xie looked up, looked around the masters around him, and said, "Tonight, my subordinates will mingle in the team that General Xu Rong escorted food and grass. When the door is opened to get the food, they will rush into the situation. In just one moment, General Xu Rong's soldiers can rush into the Li Palace. With the chaos in the Li Palace, the important task of assassinating the tyrant falls on the heroes."

"To save the people, I assassinate the tyrant and die and get killed, and I have no choice but to say." The masters shouted loudly, and the feeling of looking at death was vividly expressed.

"Zhao Xie is on behalf of Zhao and the people of the six countries. Thank you for yourselves!"

Zhao Xie saluted everyone.

"Young master, don't be polite." Long Qi said.

"There is another thing, we need to trouble Long and General."

"Young Master, but it's okay."

"The assassination tonight is of great importance. To be careful, I need the general to lead troops to help each other." Zhao Xie reported his hand and gave another tribute.

Long Qi paused, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I will not refuse."

"Thank you, General!"

At night.

Meng Tian was having a meal in the tent when he suddenly saw Wang Li rushing in.

Wang Li is usually very etiquette and will never be as reckless as he is now.

Meng Tian was not angry, but a bad premonition arose in his heart. "What's the matter?"

"General...General, Xu Rong has rebelled!"

"What!" Meng Tian was furious, suddenly stood up, kicked away the food case blocking him, and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"The rebels have controlled a city gate. They are prepared, our soldiers are caught off guard and suffer heavy losses. Several accompanying generals have organized troops to resist. The last general comes to inform the general."

"Go and report to His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, hold my order and summon the soldiers of the two families of King Meng. Remember, at any cost, you must guard His Majesty the Emperor's palace."

"I will obey the order." Wang Li took Meng Tian's token and ran out of the tent.

Meng Tian felt a little surprised. This Xu Rong was an old general of Zhao State recommended by Prince Fusu!

However, he quickly suppressed the annoyance in his heart, walked out of the tent, and came to the front line.

The situation was worse than he thought. Xu Rong's surprise attack was completely a carefully prepared conspiracy. He took advantage of the slackness of the guards in the palace and suddenly started, with orderly actions and careful organization.

Meng Tian looked into the distance and saw that in the extremely active figure in the enemy army formation, there were clearly the figures of the six masters around King Zhao back then.

In other words, Xu Rong had already colluded with the remnants of Zhao State beforehand, thinking about a deeper sentence. How much of this is what Prince Fusu meant?

This idea made Meng Tian shudder, but he immediately denied it. Young Master Fusu could not do this. If these people succeeded in plotting against each other, His Highness the Crown Prince would inherit the throne, and he would not have any benefits except for carrying a heinous crime.

Li Palace Hall.

Compared with the turbulent chaos outside the palace, the palace is still filled with a breeze and a cold moon shines, which is very quiet.

At this time, the emperor was bowing to the case and dealing with government affairs.

In the hearts of every Qin man, Qin Emperor is a great hero! Of course, Wang Li is no exception.

For Wang Li, the emperor in front of him was a saint who never came to pass through the ages. It was him who destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, ended the chaotic times of thousands of years. It was him who spread the glory of the Qin army all over the world, intimidated the four barbarians, and spread the reputation of China. It was him who led the people of the empire to build a great empire that has been passed down for generations.

It is the highest honor for Wang Li to be able to protect this emperor under the command of Emperor Qin.

Emperor Qin seemed to have noticed Wang Li, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and said, "It's Wang Li! What happened?"

"Your Majesty, Xu Rong is planning a rebellion and is leading the rebels here. The last general comes to report that for security, please move your Majesty to the back hall." Wang Li's voice was a little panic.

"A little bit of a joke, what's the point of making a fuss? Wang Li, take the guards beside me and guard this palace!" Qin Huang said calmly, then picked up the bamboo slips and started reading again.

It seems that in the eyes of this emperor, the rebels who left the palace were not as important as their own government affairs.

"Yes, I will obey the order." Wang Li's voice was excited, and the words of Emperor Qin made him regain his confidence.

Wang Li stood up, held the sword around his waist tightly, raised his chest and walked out.

...

The shadows of the dense forests are particularly cold and terrifying at this time.

However, compared with the ecstatic Zhao Xie, these are nothing.

Anyone who stands beside him can feel the joy that fills his body.

No wonder, the soldiers led by Xu Rong were getting more and more brave. Looking from the top of the mountain, his soldiers were about to approach Qin Huang's palace soon.

As long as Xu Rong is building a road for the martial arts masters hidden in the army, in Zhao Xie's view, the plan to assassinate Ying Zheng has been more than half successful, so how can he be unhappy?

"Young Master, great things are expected." The guards beside your young master Zhao Xie congratulated, "The restoration of Zhao State is expected to be expected."

Zhao Xie smiled and didn't say anything, but his expression betrayed him.

"With a successor like you in State of Zhao, do you still hope to restore the country?"

A faint sound came and filled the woods, making people unable to tell where the source of this sound was?

"Who?" The guards beside Zhao Xie surrounded him in the middle and looked around with a vigilant look.

Zhao Gao's figure soon appeared in front of everyone like a ghost.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Zhao Xie asked.

Wearing a long black and red robe, cold eyes, pale face, and in this dark ancient forest, it is hard to doubt whether the person in front of us is alone.

"Don't worry, I'm not a ghost." Zhao Gao sighed lightly, as if he was a little disappointed.
