Chapter 86 Ying Zheng is safe and sound
Zhang Liang rode a fast horse and ran quickly. After reaching the outside of the city, he was not allowed to ride into the city, so he could only throw away his fast horse and run forward.
Although his men did not tell him the ambush point, it was not a problem for him.
After entering the city, Zhang Liang directly asked the walking people which direction the First Emperor's army was walking.
Soon, Zhang Liang knew the direction of Ying Zheng's large group of troops.
So he ran quickly, hoping to stop the martyrs before they took action.
Now, Ying Zheng has two farm tools in his hands that will benefit the country and the people, and Ying Zheng must not be allowed to be born.
Although benefiting the country is not what Zhang Liang wants to see, benefiting the people is real. The hatred of the country and the family seems so insignificant in front of countless people.
Zhang Liang kept running, and finally he heard the sound of fighting.
"Damn it, they've already taken action." Zhang Liang muttered to himself, and then walked cautiously towards the direction of the fight. He didn't want to and couldn't be discovered.
Zhang Liang hid in the corner from a distance, exposing half of his head to look at the scene of the fight.
I saw that my men were killed one by one, as well as the martyrs.
At this time, Zhang Liang just hated that he was just a weak scholar, unable to lift a sword, unable to fight with his men and those righteous men, and could only watch them being killed from a distance.
"Set fire, yes, set fire." Zhang Liang said excitedly.
He thought of setting fire to distract them.
I looked around for a better place to light a fire, and finally found a silk shop.
Without saying a word, Zhang Liang took out a handkerchief, covered his face, and re-entered the shop. At this time, the shopkeeper and the clerk had long been frightened and ran away. To be precise, they should have been driven away from the beginning. The whole street was blocked. Chased away.
In the name of the government, the group of businessmen and pedestrians were driven away. The reason was that Ying Zheng was traveling and no one was allowed to approach.
Regarding this, all the people had no doubt. Ying Zheng did go out of the palace to see the demonstration of farm tools.
Zhang Liang set fire to the silk shop without any obstruction, then fled quickly and hid in another corner to watch the fight scene.
The fire spread quickly and successfully attracted Meng Yi and the people not far away.
The martyrs calmed down after seeing the fire. There were still a dozen martyrs who were not killed and immediately retreated and ran outside the city.
They knew that as long as they were still in the city, they would be caught sooner or later, and more importantly, they would implicate other people.
"Don't chase the poor bandits, be careful of ambush." When Meng Yi saw that the Black Dragon Guard wanted to chase, he immediately stopped everyone, then looked at the fire and said: "Put out the fire."
And he himself came to the shield formation and said solemnly: "Withdraw the formation."
The Black Dragon Guards in the shield formation immediately removed their shields. Ying Zheng's chariot appeared in Meng Yi's eyes again, and Ying Zheng himself stood safely among the crowd.
"Your Majesty." Meng Yi couldn't help being shocked when he saw An Ran was safe.
Ying Zheng's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that there were assassins in Xianyang City, which was right at his doorstep.
"Meng Yi." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "In order to track down the assassins, I must let them lay waste to their ashes."
"No." Meng Yi responded, and then asked with concern, "Is Your Majesty injured? Does he need to be sent to the imperial doctor?"
"No, I'm not injured," Ying Zheng said solemnly, and then turned to the fire behind him, "This must have been set on purpose by someone to remind the assassins to retreat. They have accomplices.
Meng Yi, investigate clearly for me who wants to assassinate me. We must catch those assassins. "
"promise."
It turned out that after Ying Zheng hid in the car, he immediately pressed the switch, and the car panel opened, and he got directly under the car. It was not until the shield array surrounded him that Ying Zheng climbed into the car.
No one knew about this operation, Ying Zheng did it extremely secretly.
Meng Yi watched Ying Zheng return to the palace in a chariot again, while he was here to arrange for the Black Dragon Guards to put out the fire and deal with the scene.
There are so many assassins lying here. They may not all be dead. They may also be seriously injured and unconscious. As long as one or two survive, you can find a way to get words out of them.
And the corpses could come in handy, too.
Zhang Liang saw that Ying Zheng had left and the martyrs had also withdrawn, so he also withdrew.
In the small woods outside the city, this is where Zhang Liang and the others gather.
When Zhang Liang arrived at the grove, he saw a group of righteous men who were all very angry because they did not kill Ying Zheng at such a good opportunity. They all said that there were too many people protecting Ying Zheng and there were too few of them.
When a righteous man saw Zhang Liang coming, he immediately said: "Master is here."
The other righteous men looked at Zhang Liang one after another, and then saluted and said, "I have met the young master."
"You righteous men, you don't need to be polite. I have seen everything that happened today. It was Zhang Liang's fault that the righteous men were almost wiped out this time. Please forgive Zhang Liang, all righteous men." Zhang Liang said with an apologetic look.
One of the righteous men waved his hand and said: "This is not the fault of the young master, but that the tyrant Ying Zheng was so afraid of death that he brought so many guards even in Xianyang City.
But please rest assured, young master, with Ying Zheng accompanying everyone to die together, it will be worthwhile for the brothers to die. "
Seeing Zhang Liang's surprised look, the righteous man immediately explained: "We shot Ying Zheng's chariot into a hedgehog, how could he not die?
Instead, we would like to thank you for setting that fire, which attracted the attention of the Black Dragon Guard and gave us the opportunity to retreat. "
Zhang Liang waved his hand and said: "This is what I should do. But Ying Zheng is not dead. I saw him return to the palace safe and sound."
"How is it possible? We clearly shot Ying Zheng's carriage into a hedgehog. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would not be safe and sound." said a righteous archer.
"Yes, we all saw it with our own eyes." The martyrs said one after another.
Seeing that the martyrs were so excited, Zhang Liang explained: "I know what everyone means, but Ying Zheng is indeed fine. His chariot has a mechanism, and bows and arrows may no longer be able to deal with Ying Zheng.
We need to think of something else. "
The martyrs calmed down and felt that Zhang Liang was right. Ying Zheng's carriage must be equipped with a mechanism, so Ying Zheng could be safe and sound.
"Sir, according to your wishes, if we can't break Ying Zheng's chariot, we won't be able to kill Ying Zheng." A righteous man said.
After Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, he said: "There is a way, but bows and arrows are useless, so just use a big iron ball to smash Ying Zheng's car. Unfortunately, you need to find a strong man to do it."
"Sir, I have a friend who is born with supernatural powers. If you don't dislike him, I can go to him." A righteous man said.
"Don't dislike it. We have lost so many people in Ruijin and need more martyrs to join us in resisting the violent Qin." Zhang Liang said.
"Then I'll go find him now. It could be as soon as one month or as slowly as three months. I will definitely find my friend back."
"Thanks for your hard work."
After Zhang Liang watched the righteous man leave, he ordered the others not to return to Xianyang City for the time being, but to hide somewhere else for a while, and then come back after the limelight was over.
