Latent.

Like a ghost wandering in the night, unable to see the light.

For the sake of Lu Pheasant, Shen Shiqi not only took the risk to sneak into Xianyang, but also tried to get close to Ying Yuman and carried out a conspiracy to "poison" Li Yuan, the God of Qin Wuhou.

Poison.

Keeping the ghost unaware is the safest way Shen Shiqi can think of. The most important thing is to poison the person. Shen Shiqi has already thought of it: win Yuman.

This big-breasted, brainless, jealous woman is the best plan executor.

As the most powerful person in the Qin State, Li Yuan's bodyguards were always around him, and there was no way to get close to him because of his "status".

However, Ying Yuman could get close to him. With the aura of a royal family with the surname Ying, and the sister relationship with the eldest princess Ying Yushu, Ying Yuman would not attract much attention if he wanted to get close to Li Yuan.

As the steward of the eldest princess's mansion, Shen Shiqi has already inquired about Li Yuan's recent itinerary. If there is no important military information, Li Yuan will visit the eldest princess's mansion in more than ten days. This is an extremely rare opportunity. As long as he can

He tricked Ying Yuman into pouring poison into the wine cup and tea. Even if Li Yuan didn't die, he would still have to shed a layer of his skin.

It is impossible for a prince who is sick all day long to govern the Qin State that is surrounded by powerful enemies. Next, without Li Yuan's support, the Qin State will appear and change suddenly like a flash in the pan.

As for how to make Ying Yuman believe that the "medicine" is an aphrodisiac, not a poison, Shen Shiqi has his own words to deal with it. It seems that Ying Yuman, who is almost losing his mind with jealousy, absolutely cannot tell that Shen Shiqi is really for her.

Okay, I still have ulterior motives.

Compared with the implementation, the difficulty of this plan lies in the source of the poison. When entering Xianyang City, every foreign merchant will be searched. If they carry these things, they will be exposed immediately. So now, he needs time to

To prepare, the first thing is to contact the Han Dynasty lurking in the darkness of Xianyang.

A few days ago, in order to avoid exposing his identity, Shen Shiqi was very vigilant. After sneaking into Xianyang, he had almost no contact with other intermediaries in the Han Dynasty. He knew that once exposed in the enemy's hinterland, he would die without a burial.

He almost never drinks. He doesn't go to women to vent his feelings. Sometimes he can't hold it in anymore, so he goes to a place where no one is around to masturbate.

As a man, I don't know whether it's a surprise or a sadness to do this. However, as a person involved, Shen Shi was immersed in the longing to stay together with Lu Fei, and didn't feel anything strange.

——.

It has been half a year since Li Bi was transferred to the Xianyang Order. From a high-spirited young general in the army to an official in charge of Xianyang's security, Li Bi's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. This change comes from both his own ability and objective reality.

needs.

After the First World War in Gaoping, Li Bi was accidentally injured and retired, which made him sad because he wanted to become a general. Although the Xianyang Order could also lead a group of county soldiers, this kind of job of maintaining public security and detecting thieves obviously cannot be compared with the real work on the battlefield.

It's comparable to fighting with real swords and guns.

To arrest a thief.

It is an important part of maintaining law and order for local officials.

In the Guanzhong area, the folk customs are fierce and the Mohist disciples are hiding. These fierce men who regard law and discipline as nothing are the objects that Li Bi needs to pay most attention to. In addition, other princes' forces lurking in Xianyang are also the focus of Li Bi's attention. These are

The contest on the hidden front allowed Li Bi to rediscover the joy of fighting wits and courage on the battlefield.

Fu'an Winery.

Located in a secluded corner at the gate of the east city of Xianyang, this place is classified as a shantytown in Xianyang City. Most of the people living here make a living by selling their physical strength and working as servants for wealthy families. Therefore, the scale of this wine shop is not large.

, it’s just a small shop with two people in it, including the boss and the waiter.

Such a place is very inconspicuous.

Normally, it would not have attracted the attention of Li Bi, the commander of Xianyang. But now, Li Bi was fully focused, mobilizing almost all the forces he could mobilize to monitor this contact point of the Han Dynasty.

When Shen Shi entered the wine shop dressed as a servant, his name was immediately listed as a key suspect. As early as two months ago, Li Bi discovered wine from a caravan traveling between Guanzhong and Nanjun.

There is an anomaly in the urn that is hollow, and it is very likely that some special items are contained therein.

The destination of these wines was this Fu'an wine shop. After further tracing, they found that the boss and the waiters all came to Xianyang with the Luoyang migration a year ago, but all of these people had Fu registrations in Sanchuan County.

No records.

There is no doubt about it.

This was most likely a secret intercropping contact point, but Li Bi could not yet determine which prince's power it belonged to, so he decided to wait and wait for the most important prey to appear.

Today, the appearance of Shen Shiqi made Li Bi suddenly excited. Although he was disguised, Li Bi relied on his memory to find out Shen Shiqi's identity: an external steward of the eldest princess's mansion.

A suspicious person was hiding in the eldest princess's palace, which really surprised Li Bi. If he hadn't been very familiar with the people around Ying Yushu, it would have been difficult for anyone else to find anything wrong with Shen Shiqi.

Same place.

Next, things developed as Li Bi expected. Shen Shi came to this Fu'an wine shop three times in a row. The first time was probably to make a request and reveal his identity. The second time was to pick up the goods for inspection. However, it was possible that

The product did not meet his requirements, so he visited the contact point again.

Three times before and after, all at fixed times, each time I found the owner of the wine shop. There was no doubt that these two people were collaborators of the enemy.

Immediately, Li Bi urgently mobilized county soldiers to arrest the owner of the Fu'an wine shop. On the other hand, while sending someone to inform the princess Ying Yushu, he also personally led a group of capable soldiers into the princess's mansion to search for Shen Shiqi, a key figure.

.

A battle of wits and courage between espionage and counter-espionage was going on between Li Bi and Shen Shiqi. At this time, it was less than one day before the meeting time agreed between Shenwu Hou Li Yuan and Ying Yushu.

The arrest process was very uneventful.

The owner of the Fu'an wine shop, whose surname is Lin, is from Dangjun. He once sold cloth with Liu Bang's general Guan Ying, and then defected to Peigong Liu Bang together. However, compared to Guan Ying's rapid rise, Boss Lin's road to the army was more bumpy.

Many times, after repeatedly making military exploits without hope, he was discovered by Zhang Liang and sent to Xianyang to take charge of intermediary affairs.

This time, Shen Shiqi's reckless actions not only led to the arrest of boss Fuan Lin, but more importantly, the illegal operation network that Zhang Liang had worked so hard to run was wiped out, and several people were uprooted secretly. In the remaining years that followed, Liu Bang

He knew nothing about what happened in Guanzhong and was completely unaware of it. This made Li Yuan's subsequent military actions much smoother. Of course, these are all things for later.

In the eldest princess's mansion, Ying Yuman's bedroom.

He was surrounded by county soldiers led by Li Bi. After a search, Shen Shiqi fled to Ying Yuman's room in panic. After killing two maids in a row, he was about to hide the "poison".

Ying Yuman stood in front of him as a hostage, Shen Shiqi had never been a gentleman, and he even tried to make a death struggle.

It was only then that Ying Yuman, who was in a sluggish state, finally realized that he had been deceived by Shen Shiqi. Fortunately, the big mistake had not yet been made.

The situation is tense.

Li Bi also took Shen Shi as a hostage and had no choice. No matter how unpopular Ying Yuman was, she was still the princess of Qin and the only two members of the royal family with the surname Ying. If there really was anything

Li Bike couldn't afford the mistake. Just when he was in trouble, Ying Yuman made a move that surprised everyone.

"Sister, Man'er is wrong. Man'er won't do it again next time." Ying Yuman, who had a dagger pressed against her throat by Shen Shiqi, shouted, broke away violently, and faced the sharp dagger with her jade neck.

dagger.

The bright red blood instantly turned everyone's eyes red. When Ying Yuman's body fell softly, even the murderer Shen Shiqi just froze in place.

"Capture this thief quickly." Li Bi's eyes were red. Even if he didn't like Ying Yuman, a paranoid princess, he still had feelings after getting along with her for so many days. Seeing Ying Yuman die so tragically, Li Bi

There was also a burst of regret in my heart.

Only then did all the county soldiers come to their senses, and they all swarmed up and pushed Shenshi head and feet to the ground. Some of them who were not angry even stepped on Shenshi's feet several times to relieve their anger.

"Man'er, Man'er——!" Ying Yushu was in grief. She hugged Ying Yuman's delicate body that was getting colder and cried out. No matter how many shortcomings this half-sister had in her temperament, she was her

The only relative in this world, from now on, she was the only direct bloodline of the great First Emperor.

Separation of life and death.

In this troubled world, everyone's path is taken by herself. No matter how much others help, they can't replace her. Ying Yuman took the wrong path, and she paid the price with her life. She still wanted to do it at the last moment.

Compared with Ying Hu Hai, who was living an ignoble existence, Ying Yuman's actions are undoubtedly more worthy of respect.

The first month of the third year of the Qin and Xin calendar years.

Shen Shiqi's true identity was identified during the subsequent interrogation and identification. The person who recognized Shen Shiqi was none other than Lu Jia, who had just taken charge of the Qin State. After a long period of

After years of detention and soft imprisonment, Lu Jia finally succumbed to the fact that Qin was becoming more and more powerful.

Lu Jia and Shen Shiqi were both subordinates of the Han Dynasty King Liu Bang. Although they had different affiliations, they had interacted with each other several times. After Lu Jia's identification, Shen Shiqi, a Han spy with the pseudonym "Shen Buhai", had many reasons.

He was interrogated by the Imperial Palace of the Great Qin Dynasty for this crime. Later, after identification and judgment, he was executed by execution at the entrance of Xianyang City.

In the same month, the snow first melted, and the funeral of Ying Yuman, Princess of Huating in Qin State, was held next to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. This young princess who died in fragrant beauty was not known to anyone when she was alive, but her death shocked the entire Qin State.

Moved by it.
