Zhuigu had already arrived with his men and horses, and his halberds were like a forest, blocking everyone's way.
The rest is simple.
That's arresting people.
As long as they are still alive, they will all be captured.
Even Zhui Gu couldn't help but tremble with fear when he looked at the crossbows behind the window and in the middle of the door. If something unexpected happened to His Highness the Emperor Changsun, he would not be able to forgive his sin even if he died a hundred times.
Therefore, when arresting people at this time, they are particularly fierce and hard-working.
Anyone who dares to take a peek at His Highness the Emperor's Grandson, or who is a little slow in surrendering, will receive his brutal kick——
The kind that loses more than half of his life.
As for Zhao Gao, at this time, he fell to the ground and knelt down at the gate of the farm without saying a word.
He cannot escape the blame for what happened today.
If it weren't for his failure in doing things, why would the emperor's eldest grandson come here in person?
To put it bluntly, he would not be able to take off the label of colluding with assassins.
As for Miss Lu Yu, she was helped to climb onto the carriage, but her beauty was pale, her face was pale, her eyes were full of fear, and she no longer had the charming thoughts just now. Obviously, the bloody scene in the yard made her this The young lady from the Lu family was frightened.
So much so that when he walked over in a daze, he didn't realize that a former CRRC official was kneeling at his feet.
A handsome man with a rather heroic appearance.
Zhao Gao remained motionless, kneeling at the door until a pair of huge boots appeared in his field of vision.
He knew that that was the emperor's eldest grandson!
My heart was lifted in an instant, and my back was wet with sweat.
…
The driver who was driving the carriage back along the same route saw from a distance the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty who were in neat military appearance and filled with murderous intent outside the farm.
He reined in the reins gently.
"Sir, the matter is out - if we leave now, there is still a chance. I can risk my life to send my husband out of the city..."
The groom's face was calm, as if he was not talking about life and death, but an ordinary greeting. The coachman spoke very firmly, and the people on the carriage listened very seriously. They didn't seem to think at all that this was such a great thing.
The alliance has been operating for many years and has its own channels.
"The King of Chu has been kind to me in every possible way, but I have nothing to repay you for my humiliation. I have survived to this day, with a thorn in my back every moment. I often wake up in the middle of the night with sweat on my back..."
The old man who called himself Qi Gai shook his head slightly.
"Today, if I don't come back, there will be a river of blood on the banks of the Wei River, and the blood of the King of Chu will be lost in one day! This matter started from me, and it should have ended with me. How can it affect my old friend? By?"
Having said this, Qu Gai, who was sitting in the carriage, raised the curtain and raised his hands to the carriage driver in front of him.
"Qu Gai is about to die today. Our relationship as master and servant is over. Let's just go..."
The coachman was silent.
He just gently helped Qu Gai lower the curtain, and started the carriage as usual. The carriage was running smoothly, as always.
"My husband treated me as a noble man, and I will repay him as a noble man. Today I will die with you..."
In the carriage, he hesitated to speak but finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and said no more.
So, not long after, an inconspicuous carriage came slowly, blocking Zhao Ying's path, turning a blind eye to the heavily armored Da Qin soldiers.
Zhao Ying raised his eyebrows slightly, gently reined in the horse, and looked at the silent man opposite and a pair of dry but powerful hands stretched out from the carriage.
"I bow my head and present this head to the emperor's eldest grandson..."
Qu Gao'e, who was crowned and wearing a Chu robe with a calm expression, looked into Zhao Ying's eyes without dodge or avoidance, without being frightened or panicked. He seemed to have expected today's outcome -
Even long awaited?
Zhao Ying was silent for a moment and waved his hand.
"Someone, take it down..."
He didn't even resist, and the coachman was honest and allowed people to tie him up tightly, like tying up chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep.
…
Today's movement is indeed a bit big, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it.
Soon, the news that His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson was ambushed and assassinated spread like wildfire. Therefore, before reaching the city gate, the guards from the palace arrived to deliver the order.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come and see me immediately..."
Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.
"Thank you for your work——"
Although his face was calm and calm, he was secretly complaining in his heart, his mind was spinning, and he was desperately thinking about how to explain it to his eldest father later.
Before anyone entered the palace, they saw King Chu kneeling tremblingly outside the palace gate.
At this time, seeing Zhao Ying striding towards him, the King of Chu burst into tears and rushed forward to hug Zhao Ying's thigh.
"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with me. Even if I were beaten to death, I would not dare to have the slightest disobedience. Your Highness, please be more careful..."
The boss cried so much that his face was filled with tears, as if he had been wronged a lot.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
"You don't have to be like this. If this matter has nothing to do with you, I will not vent my anger on you, the Chu royal family..."
When the King of Chu heard this, he cried and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing like a green onion.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness..."
The dignity of the royal family no longer exists.
When the Qin army attacked Yingdu, it was trampled to pieces. What kind of dignity can there be left for a bereaved dog whose country has been ruined and whose family has perished?
The prince and grandson resigned from the palace downstairs, came to Qin in a chariot, and became a member of the Qin Palace!
The royal bloodline has long been reduced to the puppets of the Qin Dynasty. Life and death are all in the hands of others. What else is decent and dishonorable!
What I want now is that I can't bear to see the bloodline of King Chu being cut off from my own generation.
Zhao Ying was in no mood to pay attention to this fallen Phoenix.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, that's all.
Under the tide of history, there will always be people who appear on the stage with high spirits, and there will always be people who end up in despair. The King of Chu today may not be the royal family of Qin in the future——
In fact, the bloodline of the Qin royal family was even worse.
Those who came later did not have the courage of the First Emperor after all. Even Zhao Dalang, who claimed to be unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness in later generations, secretly put on a yellow robe in Chenqiao, and usurped the throne of his eldest brother and youngest son, could not help but raise the butcher's knife against the two young nephews, ready to eradicate the roots.
Zhao Ying put these chaotic thoughts behind, because he had already seen Hei with his hands folded, standing on the steps to greet him.
"I've seen Mr. Hei——"
"Your Highness, be careful. Your Majesty is very angry at your reckless behavior today. He just broke the glass lamp you presented..."
Hei bowed meticulously in return, and through the stall where the two passed by, lowered his voice and gave an instruction.
Zhao Ying:......
Suddenly my scalp felt numb.
"Thank you, Mr. Hei..."
It is inevitable for an ugly daughter-in-law to meet her parents-in-law. This kind of thing cannot be avoided. Zhao Ying gritted his teeth and followed Hei into the main hall.
Sure enough, before people entered the main hall, they saw the first emperor with a gloomy face.
"I heard that His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson showed off his skills just now and beat up a group of assassins. I only regret that my parents didn't give them more legs - it's so majestic..."
Zhao Ying:......
"No no……"
Zhao Ying quickly denied it.
"Father, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again..."
"You are right. You are His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, the famous champion general. What can you do wrong..."
The First Emperor looked at him sarcastically.
Zhao Ying:......
At this time, he did not dare to talk nonsense with the First Emperor, so he could only stand there and be scolded. Try to make His Majesty the First Emperor feel comfortable scolding him as soon as possible.
Seeing this bitch lowering his head and letting himself scold him with a frown on his face, the First Emperor lost the energy to continue sarcastic remarks.
"You still follow me to deal with government affairs every day, and now, you have learned this? The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court, and now you don't even understand the principle of a gentleman not standing behind a dangerous wall?"
The First Emperor angrily pointed at Zhao Ying and cursed.
"Do you know how important your relationship is? Today, you risked your life alone for a mere insignificant woman. How can those who follow you feel safe to follow you? How can you let me feel safe to take care of this great Qin Dynasty?" Delivered to you!”
Zhao Ying:......
"Father, I was wrong——"
Zhao Ying really didn't think so much.
Not only did he not expect that anyone would dare to assassinate him in Xianyang, but more importantly, he didn't take it seriously at all. His skills now were far different from when he went to conquer the Xiongnu to pacify Hexi.
This makes him always feel that the world is so big and I can conquer it.
Without gunpowder, I, Zhao Ying, feel invincible in the world.
At this moment, he was scolded by the First Emperor, and he suddenly realized that at some point, his mentality had become desperate.
This is dangerous!
Today, although I escaped the enemy's assassination and successfully killed my opponent, what if the enemy had been more prepared.
For example, prepare dozens of powerful crossbows of that level and give him a direct shot.
Are you still sure that you can successfully counterattack?
Zhao Ying himself couldn’t guarantee it!
Today, I was reckless after all.
Seeing that this brat seemed to have really realized his mistake, the First Emperor's expression softened slightly and he sighed softly.
"Ying'er, you should remember that a person in power does not necessarily need to be brave, nor does he need to be wise, intelligent, or versatile. As long as he knows how much he has, how to select and appoint talents, and let capable people do what he cannot do. Things are enough..."
When the First Emperor said this, he couldn't help but feel dazed. Once upon a time, he had such expectations for his eighteenth son.
Until this grandson of his appeared.
In terms of ability, character, structure, vision, and even ambition, he completely crushed his eighteenth son, and this kind of thinking slowly faded away.
Even the last witchcraft incident completely deprived him of the possibility of inheriting the power of Da Qin.
But is there really no risk in choosing the emperor's eldest grandson?
Thinking of the actions of the emperor's eldest grandson today, the First Emperor couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Today's Great Qin seems to be blooming with flowers and burning oil, but there are already many hidden worries secretly. It may not be a blessing for the country if a proud and brave emperor like King Wu Lie is born.
"Father, it was my fault. I will never do such stupid things that endanger my life again..."
The First Emperor nodded slightly.
"You have to remember your identity. You are the eldest grandson of the emperor, the only eldest grandson of the emperor in the Qin Dynasty. Don't ask for an insignificant little woman. Even if you are attacking a city, you don't need to take risks yourself. ——Otherwise, what is the use of having so many elite and brave ministers in the Qin Dynasty?"
Speaking of which.
The First Emperor glanced at him.
"Even if you are brave and invincible, even if you are unparalleled in strategy and strategy, and no one in the world is as good as you, you must remember that you are only one person and cannot achieve great things. If you want to achieve great things, , you must learn to use people. If you don't know how to use those talents and don't give them the opportunity to display their talents and make achievements, they will abandon you sooner or later..."
When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but think of the story of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in later generations, and he was secretly wary.
After returning home from the palace, naturally there will be some nagging and concern.
Even his second brother Zhao Qi, who was always afraid of him and wanted to hide when he saw him, took leave from school and came back to give him a few words of advice.
This made him feel helpless and warm at the same time.
However, eldest brother’s face cannot be lost!
"How did you complete your homework today? Brother, I have thousands of troops and horses to break through. What can a few assassins do to me? Such a trivial matter will make you feel so confused that you will not be able to read. In the future What great things can I expect from you!"
Zhao Ying put on a serious face, showed the dignity of being an eldest brother, and taught his second brother a serious lesson.
"Those who achieved great things in ancient times were not only those with extraordinary talents and perseverance. Whenever great things happened, they must have a calm mind. Mount Tai collapsed in front of them, but their faces did not change. The elk thrived on the left, but their eyes did not blink - —There were predecessors who were able to study in a busy city without being disturbed by the outside world. Second brother, you should follow their example..."
After Zhao Ying finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Qi with a look like a big brother, I have high expectations for you.
Zhao Qi:......
I am a little confused, who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
You were obviously worried about your eldest brother, so you asked for leave and came back to care about your eldest brother, but in the end you were taught a lesson?
However, those words were so profound and reasonable. If they were told to the teachers in the school, they would probably be amazed.
Also, who is the former sage mentioned by the elder brother, and why has he never heard of it?
Suddenly I felt ashamed——
I don’t even know the little allusions that my eldest brother picks up at random, because I still haven’t read enough books.
The younger brother is naturally easy to deal with, but Mi Ji, Wang Nan and the others are not easy to deal with. They were surrounded and told a lot, and the little pleasure they just got from cheating - ahem, from encouraging their younger brother, instantly disappeared. Gone.
Facts have proved that even if it is out of pure love or concern, nagging for a long time can be a burden.
In the end, Zhao Ying had no choice but to flee.
The emperor's eldest grandson was assassinated, and under the nose of the First Emperor, it was naturally an extremely serious matter. While Zhao Ying was still in the hall, accepting the scolding from the First Emperor, Hei Bingtai's chief manager, Hei, had personally taken charge and joined the investigation of the entire incident.
In Qugai Manor, more than 300 people, both large and small, were all imprisoned.
Even Zhao Gao, who asked for punishment, was unceremoniously thrown into jail. Don't think about it until it is proven that he had nothing to do with it.
Even if Zhao Ying believed him and spoke in person, he would not be able to escape a harsh and cruel interrogation.
In the face of the safety of the emperor's eldest grandson, no one is worth mentioning.
Just now, Xianyang City was bleeding with blood due to the witchcraft case. I wonder how many people will be killed this time because of this incident.
It is worth mentioning that the former King of Chu, who rushed to the palace in person after hearing the news, knelt down outside the palace gate and took the initiative to apologize, was never summoned by the First Emperor.
He didn't dare to get up, let alone leave. He could only kneel down in front of the hall alone, like a lonely goose.
There is no need to elaborate on these reasons.
