Chapter 85: Lure the snake out of its hole
Just when Zhang Liang was regretting it, Ying Zheng had already begun to drive back to the palace, and the people respectfully watched Ying Zheng leave.
Zhang Liang wanted to know what had just happened, so he went directly to a commoner to ask.
Only then did I learn that after Li Si finished speaking, he began to demonstrate and explain the functions of other farm tools.
After everything was over, everyone had an understanding of the farm equipment and thought it was over.
Ying Zheng then told the people a piece of news. There were two farm tools still under design. One was a threshing machine, a farm tool that could quickly separate rice and wheat from wheat straw and rice straw.
There is also a shelling machine that can quickly separate the fleshy shells of crops such as rice and wheat.
Once these two crops are designed, they will be announced to the world as soon as possible, and anyone can learn and buy and sell them.
Anyone who prevents people from learning or buying will be severely punished.
This made the people overjoyed, and they all thanked Ying Zheng together, so no Zhang Liang would hear the overwhelming words of gratitude.
"What? There are two more farm tools?" Zhang Liang was shocked.
When did Ying Zheng have so many farm tools, and they were many times better than the current ones.
Seeing that Zhang Liang was in a daze, the people in question ignored Zhang Liang and went home with their companions. As they walked, they said that the First Emperor was a good emperor.
After Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately came to his senses and said angrily in his heart: "Ying Zheng is fine, this is just a way to win people's hearts."
He just dared not say this in anger, because this was Xianyang City, and most of them were Da Qin people.
Damn it, we can’t attack Ying Zheng now.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Zhang Liang immediately came to his horse, mounted the horse and rushed to Xianyang City without stopping.
…
Ying Zheng sat in his dragon chariot, guarded by black dragon guards on both sides, and slowly entered Xianyang City.
Meng Yi came to the dragon chariot at this time: "Your Majesty, we have entered Xianyang City."
Ying Zheng said slowly: "Meng Yi, it seems that your attempt to lure the snake out of the hole has no effect. I didn't encounter any assassins along the way."
"Your Majesty, now is the most dangerous moment." Meng Yi said.
"I have already entered Xianyang City, do those assassins still dare to assassinate me in Xianyang?" Ying Zheng sneered.
If there are assassins in the city, then I will ask my lieutenant carefully.
Taiwei is the person in charge of the country's military affairs, that is, the person who holds military power.
The Taiwei, the Prime Minister, and the Yushi doctor were among the three nobles, and their official positions were as high as you can imagine.
The current Taiwei of the imperial court is Wei Liao, who made great contributions to King Qin Yingzheng's unification of the six countries and advocated "merging the vast areas into one system."
According to legend, Wei Liao knew facial fortune telling. When he was first admired by Qin King Ying Zheng, he believed that Ying Zheng had a strong face and could be humble and sincere when asking for help. However, once he was offended, he would become extremely cruel and show no mercy to his enemies.
Wei Liao believed that Ying Zheng lacked the kindness to take care of the people of the world, so he always wanted to escape Xianyang City.
However, according to the court rules, as long as you are an official in the court, the whole family must live in Xianyang City.
Otherwise, Li Si would not have been exterminated by Zhao Gao.
Ying Zheng asked Wei Liao for advice many times but was rejected. This made Ying Zheng very angry and even had murderous intentions. Only Meng Tian's repeated persuasion allowed Wei Wei to stay alive and assume the position of Taiwei.
However, Wei Liao did his duty faithfully during his tenure and did not make any excuses, which made Ying Zheng very satisfied.
So Ying Zheng loves and hates this Wei Liao.
Meng Tian frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, just because everyone has this idea, some people like to do the opposite.
Therefore, now is the most dangerous time. I hope that Your Majesty will temporarily avoid the spotlight and allow me to stay in the dragon chariot and pretend to be His Majesty. "
Suddenly, Ying Zheng burst out with the domineering aura that only the First Emperor had. He was calm and powerful, and said in a deep voice: "I am the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. When Jing Ke assassinated me, was I ever timid?"
"Your Majesty is mighty and domineering. If a humble minister makes a mistake, please punish him." Meng Yi immediately bowed to apologize.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "You are also considering my safety. I will not punish you this time. Next time, you will be punished for all crimes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Meng Yi stood up straight, he immediately directed the Black Dragon Guard to continue moving forward, and the dragon chariot slowly followed.
Ying Zheng stood on the dragon chariot without any intention of hiding. His sword was hanging on his waist, with his right hand holding the hilt and his left hand on his waist.
The majestic and majestic appearance makes people feel awe.
As the Black Dragon Guard walked forward, he carefully looked around.
The same is true for Meng Yi. He observes where the best place to assassinate is.
Finally they came to a street, which was originally very busy, but now it was extremely quiet.
A strong wind blew, blowing up many leaves, making the atmosphere even more eerie.
"The entire army is on alert," Meng Yi shouted.
As a member of the Meng family, although Meng Yi focuses on liberal arts, he is equally good at marching and fighting. It can be said that he does not belong to his brother Meng Tian.
It's just that the Meng family only needs one leader, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi can do what he likes.
Now that Meng Tian has gone to the border and Zhang Han is staying in Zhaojiazhuang again, he, Meng Yi, can only command the Black Dragon Guard.
The Black Dragon Guards raised their shields one after another and held long swords in their hands. At this time, they could advance to attack and retreat to defend.
After walking about twenty meters, Ying Zheng's chariot came to a stop between two two-story inns and a wine shop.
A group of masked men appeared in front of them, holding swords in their hands.
At this time, a dozen archers appeared on the second floors of the inns and restaurants on both sides, aiming at Ying Zheng.
After Ying Zheng saw the archers, he hid directly in the chariot and disappeared from the sight of the archers.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Then more than twenty bows and arrows were fired at the chariot where Ying Zheng was.
Bows and arrows shot into the chariot one after another, and Ying Zheng inside did not know whether he was alive or dead.
"Your Majesty?" Meng Yi saw this and roared: "The shield formation protects you."
He knew that this was not the time to check Ying Zheng's safety, but to let the shield array protect Ying Zheng regardless of whether he was injured or not.
After hearing the order, dozens of Black Dragon Guards immediately held up their shields and began to block the bows and arrows. They slowly came to the side of the chariot and surrounded the entire chariot.
This shield array is used to resist bows and arrows. The shields are assembled into a ball to protect Ying Zheng.
At this time, the masked man in front also rushed up.
Meng Yi saw this. He immediately ordered: "The forwards will attack forward and capture the assassins, while the rest will go to inns and wine shops to capture those assassins."
The archers on the upper floors on both sides saw that Ying Zheng's dragon chariot was protected, so they threw away their bows and arrows, drew their swords and jumped downstairs to fight with the Black Dragon Guards.
With such a good opportunity, Ying Zheng must be killed here.
