"Zong Zheng, why don't you see Mr. Wang as the censor? This trip to Xingyang is of special concern to the Prime Minister." Yan Yi leaned out half of his body across the narrow wall and asked Chen Dizhi below.

Yan Yi's mind is getting more and more suspicious. In the past few days, he has also heard rumors from people from the east that Wang Ming, the old censor, was killed in Xingyang. It is said that his death was very memorable. Now, if Chen Di's words reveal

If there are any flaws, Yan Yi will immediately ask the crossbowmen to set up their crossbows to stop this suspicious group of people.

Yan Yi is aware of the struggle for power within the DPRK and the disputes between internal factions. For the Yan family, Yan Yi, who is attached to Zhao Gao's family, does not have to cater to Chen Di, a powerful royal family. What he has to do is to completely

Follow Zhao Gao's instructions and handle everything assigned by Xianyang.

"Wang Ming is dead, and his body is in the car behind him. Lieutenant Yan wants to inspect it himself." Chen Di said with a cold face.

Yan Yi's words revealed his distrust of Chen Di. A mere veteran guarding the gate dared to use Zhao Gao's name to suppress him. Chen Di couldn't help but feel depressed. Seeing this, a member of the Xianyang royal family

The power has become increasingly declining.

"What, Mr. Wang is dead, why haven't you reported it to the Prime Minister? If you are blamed, you can afford it." Yan Yi asked urgently.

Wang Ming is Zhao Gao's confidant. Yan Le once told Yan Yi that now that Wang Ming's death has been confirmed, Chen Di did not report it in time. If Prime Minister Zhao Gao checks it out, Yan Yi will also have to bear the responsibility.

The crime of knowing and failing to report.

"Death under the peony flowers, it is also romantic to be a ghost. Captain Yan is not thinking of being a companion with Wang Ming." Chen Di looked gloomy and thought to himself with disdain.

Wang Ming did something ridiculous and it was enough to die. How could he have others praise him? This Yan Yi is also an old man, why is he so ignorant?

"Why didn't Zongzheng answer? If there is no mysterious talisman, it is okay to have an order from the Prime Minister's Palace, but if there is neither, this pass -!" Yan Yi became a little impatient when he saw that Chen Di did not reply for a long time. Before taking office

At the beginning, his nephew Yan Le warned him that except for the people of Prime Minister Zhao Gao's line, he could ignore the requests of other forces. Chen Di was just a lobbyist for the declining royal family, and his words had no weight.

"Captain Yan, wait a minute. I, Zhao Bibao, except for the eldest princess and her entourage, there is no one else waiting in this convoy."

Before Yan Yi could finish his words, a short, stocky, staggering middle-aged man leaned out of a car at the back of the stalled motorcade.

"It's Lieutenant Zhao, not Governor Zhao, you're here too." Yan Yi was shocked. The man in front of him was none other than Zhao Ben, the former governor of Sanchuan County. Compared with the position of county lieutenant, Zhao Ben served as county guard for a long time.

Less than two months old, no wonder Yan Yi calls him by the wrong name.

Facing Chen Di, Yan Yi could refuse politely because he was not from the same faction. However, facing Zhao Bi, Yan Yi could not stand up. Zhao Bi was the nephew of Prime Minister Zhao Gao and a member of the Zhao clan.

The Guan Jian figures who were deployed in the Guandong area and controlled the military power of Sanchuan County seemed to have the same background as Yan Yi. They were both important external branches of the faction families, but in fact, the Zhao clan and the Yan clan were not the same at all.

, comparable.

The Yan family only gained power because Yan Le married Zhao Gao's daughter. Compared with Zhao Ben, only Yan Le of the Yan family can be on an equal footing with Zhao Ben. As for Yan Yi, he is not on the same level at all.

"Yan Duwei, on this trip, Zhao has sent His Royal Highness the Princess back to the capital under the secret orders of His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister. Please make it convenient for me!" Zhao Ben glared at Yan Yi on the pass with red eyes.

He said every word with hatred. These days, Zhao Ben, who is under house arrest, has not suffered much harm. Of course, he has not received much preferential treatment. Li Yuan's attitude towards prisoners is very simple. Since he has put down his weapons, then he will not be treated*

*It would be too inhumane to go up and eliminate the opponent.

Li Yuan's attitude is very different from the mainstream concept of the Warring States Period and the end of Qin Dynasty. In the conquests of Qin and the Six Kingdoms, it was almost the rule to kill prisoners. Bai Qi did this in the Battle of Changping. Xiang Yu then killed prisoners.

The same is true for killing two hundred thousand Qin soldiers.

Zhao Ben was lucky enough to survive, which made him indescribably grateful. However, when Chen Ping offered Zhao Ben freedom in exchange for taking Hangu Pass, Zhao Ben was tempted.

"This -!" Yan Yi was in a dilemma. Zhao Ben's identity made him feel a lot of pressure. In essence, Yan Yi was not a person who could take responsibility and act decisively. This was why he had always stayed in the army.

One of the reasons for holding the first-level position of captain in the army.

"Humph, the eldest princess's return to Xianyang was approved by His Majesty the Emperor. Don't you know? If you miss the time to celebrate the Queen Mother, you can shoulder this responsibility."

There was a loud shout, and from the opening of the curtain of a chariot located in the middle, a pretty girl of fifteen or sixteen with a pink face and a smile on her face peeked out.

Ying Yushu's maid Hongxiu looked a little tired and a little excited. During this period, she suffered from a moderate illness and it took more than twenty days to recover. Therefore, she, who has a temper like a little pepper, is not interested in letting her stay here.

Li Yuan, who had been feeling the cold wind blowing at the gate for most of the day, was very unhappy. This time, she wanted to show Li Mutou that he, Li Yuan, was not the only promising person in the eldest princess's mansion.

The appearance of the red sleeves means that Ying Yushu, who has been silent for a long time, is beginning to be dissatisfied. Although the eldest princess of Qin is rumored to be at odds with the emperor, the royal family is still the royal family after all. A person who has laid down his power does not pose any threat.

The eldest princess is not unacceptable to Hu Hai. Once Ying Yushu gets the emperor's care, Yan Yi has reason to believe that Ying Yushu may not be able to do anything to Zhao Gao, but if he troubles him, Captain Yan,

There are definitely many ways to do that.

"Open the door!" Yan Yi waved his hand and gave the order reluctantly. Under the double pressure of Zhao Ben and Ying Yushu, Yan Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Forward!" Li Bi waved his halberd, urging the horses to move forward. Behind him, one hundred and fifty carefully selected light soldiers quickly followed.

Chen Ping quietly retreated to the back of the motorcade, pulled over a scout who was responsible for delivering the message and gave some instructions. Then, he hid his figure in the middle of the motorcade, dressed as a junior official, and stood in the middle of this prominent royal team.

It was really inconspicuous inside, and no one could imagine that the soul who really commanded this convoy was this man wearing a blue official robe with a face covered in dust.

Yan Yi didn't notice Chen Ping. All his attention was spent on Zhao Bi and Ying Yushu. They spent most of the day in the process of arguing. It was almost afternoon. Tonight, Ying Yushu's behavior
