Zhao Tuo waved his hand to Wang Wu and said, "Let's go home with me."

Wang Wu was surprised and happy. He looked back at Feng Quli and said cautiously: "General, then I... am leaving?"

Feng Quili didn't say anything. He was still in shock: This Wang Wu's diary... actually reached Xianyang? It actually reached His Majesty’s ears, and His Majesty was full of praise?

What's the matter?

Feng Quli glanced at Zhao Tuo: "General Zhao, can you tell me what is going on? How did your majesty see Wang Wu's diary?"

"This place is thousands of miles away from Xianyang City. How was Wang Wu's diary sent back? Is the Wang Wu you are looking for really the Wang Wu here?"

Zhao Tuo nodded and said impatiently: "It is this Wang Wu."

But Feng Quili stopped him and insisted, "How do you know this person is Wang Wu? How did his diary get back to Xianyang City?"

Zhao Tuo said calmly: "Because there was a merchant who traveled thousands of miles and brought Wang Wu's diary back. He went through many hardships and dangers along the way. If the general wants to know, I don't need to tell you. There is a book here. Look You’ll know just by looking at it.”

Later, Zhao Tuo took out a book, and this book was written based on the merchant's experience.

Feng Quili flipped through it a little, looked at the introduction, and roughly understood what was going on.

He never expected that businessmen could drive profits to such an extent.

What's the use of all that money if my life is about to be lost?

Feng Quli sighed with emotion.

Zhao Tuo said calmly: "Master Feng, can I take this person away?"

Feng Quili frowned: "Take him away as you say? This man is a sergeant in our army. Even if you are the one who banished the immortal, how can you..."

Zhao Tuo slowly took out Ying Zheng's edict: "This is your Majesty's wish."

Feng Quili frowned and said, "Since it is His Majesty's wish, I should obey it. But..."

Zhao Tuo looked at Feng Quili in confusion: "But what?"

Feng Quili said: "But is this edict true? It can't be forged, right? Your Majesty has so many things to do, why would you bring back a pawn?"

Zhao Tuo said: "Is it necessary to explain the dispute in the court?"

Feng Quili said: "I am all ears."

He is basically stalling for time now, and while stalling, he is thinking of ways to keep Wang Wu.

After all, Wang Wu's diary is of great importance, and it would be terrible if it turns out to be true.

Therefore, Feng Quli was thinking of a way to prevent Wang Wu from reaching Xianyang City no matter what.

Zhao Tuo looked at Feng Quili helplessly, and then took out a newspaper.

It's Daqin Daily.

Daqin Daily is now the official newspaper of the imperial court. After receiving Ying Zheng's approval, it will publish some important affairs in the court.

And this issue records in detail the debate in the court about Wang Wu's diary and the art of war in banishing immortals.

After Feng Quli read it, his heart almost dropped.

It turns out that the Art of War of Banishing Immortals actually has a backup copy. It turns out that The Art of War of Banishing Immortals was actually published in Xianyang City.

Feng Quli found that he was simply riding a tiger now.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have sent out envoys to say that these troop formations were all my idea.

If he honestly admitted his merits in banishing the immortal, his military exploits in the barbarian country would be enough to gain promotion to a noble rank.

Well now...it's all gone, it's all gone.

Framing and banishing immortals, competing for credit... This kind of thing must be despised by others, and once the emperor is angered, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Feng Quli no longer dared to think about it.

He sighed and put the newspaper away.

He handed the newspaper to Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo said calmly: "Do you believe Mr. Feng?"

Feng Quli thought for a moment and then said, "Do you need me to send someone to escort you?"

Zhao Tuo shook his head: "No need, so as not to have long nights and many dreams."

Feng Quili said a little annoyed: "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean? What is Ye Changmengduo? Do you think someone wants to harm you? Who do you think wants to harm you?"

Zhao Tuo said calmly: "The general didn't say anything, why should Lord Feng be angry?"

Feng Quli was simply looking for an excuse to get angry. He pointed at Zhao Tuo and said, "So what if you are from Huaiguzi? I am a censor, how dare you be rude to me?"

"Come here, kill this person for me."

Zhao Tuo held up Ying Zheng's edict in his hand and said loudly: "I am following your Majesty's edict to take Wang Wu away. Who dares to stop me?"

Feng Quili shouted frantically: "Tie this man up and interrogate him strictly."

None of the Qin soldiers around him moved.

Feng Quli was stunned. He grabbed one of the soldiers and asked, "Why don't you do it?"

The soldier said with some embarrassment: "Sir, he has the emperor's edict in his hand."

Feng Jia came over and whispered: "Master, these soldiers no longer listen to our orders."

Feng Quli was stunned: "What?"

Feng Jia said: "Master, do you still remember? We have placed scholars in every team and every corps. These scholars taught the soldiers to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

Feng Quili said: "Yes, so what?"

Feng Jia said: "Now that the general is going to confront the imperial court, these soldiers no longer want to obey orders. Even a few days ago, orders in the army could only be carried out with the approval of the scholars. Otherwise, the soldiers would often refuse."

Feng Quli: "..."

Feng Jia sighed and whispered: "Let them go, there is no other way."

Feng Quili nodded slowly.

He waved his hand and said to Zhao Tuo: "Get out."

Zhao Tuo didn't mind either, he just smiled and left with Wang Wu.

After this group of people left, the soldiers were all in twos and threes, whispering to each other.

What they were discussing was naturally Wang Wu.

Someone said: "How come this guy Wang Wu suddenly got so lucky?"

Someone said: "I'm afraid it may not be bad luck. Look at Wang Wu. He writes and draws on weekdays. Maybe he is really talented."

Someone else said: "Do you think this Wang Wu can really win the Immortal Literature Award?"

Everyone around shook their heads: "I don't know, who knows?"

The soldiers were talking a lot, and Feng Quili and Feng Jia were also conspiring in the camp.

Now Feng Quli no longer trusts anyone, he only trusts Feng Jia.

He looked at Feng Jia and asked uneasily: "What can we do?"

Feng Jia said: "Master Wuyou, a king can't change anything."

Feng Quili sighed and said: "Once this Wang Wu returns to Xianyang City, he will definitely add fuel to the fire and tell what happened here. By then, everything we have done will be exposed."

Feng Jia thought for a while and said to Feng Quli: "What if... Wang Wu can't reach Xianyang City?"

Feng Quili was slightly startled: "You mean...kill him?"

Feng Jia nodded: "Master, this man is just a lowly soldier. His life is just like the dust on the roadside. How can the master's future be harmed because of this lowly soldier?"

Feng Quili nodded slowly.

Feng Jia said: "Therefore, we might as well kill him."

Feng Quli thought for a while and said: "However, if we kill this person, Xianyang will definitely know. By then, what will we do? Things can only get worse and worse."

Feng Jia smiled slightly and said, "Master, I have come up with a clever plan."

"Why should we kill people ourselves? Why don't we let the barbarians kill them for us? If the barbarians kill him, Wang Wu will not be able to return to Xianyang City, and we can get rid of the relationship."

Feng Quili nodded: "The method is indeed a good one, but...why did the barbarians kill Wang Wu? Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Feng Jia smiled and said: "Master, we can pretend to be barbarians and kill Wang Wu. We are thousands of miles away, how can your majesty verify it?"

Feng Quli felt that his IQ was a bit insufficient.

He nodded: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"

Feng Jia said: "My master is upright and upright in his life. Such a sinister plan is naturally unthinkable. Only a villain like this can think of it."

After hearing this, Feng Quli... felt happy.

I have to say that every housekeeper must have a unique skill. Otherwise, how could he climb to this position?

Feng Quili said to Feng Jia: "I'm a little tired. There are some things you can do yourself. You don't need to tell me anymore."

Feng Jia understood: "I understand."

Then, he walked out quickly.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were selected, and a hundred people were selected.

Feng Jia only trusted these one hundred people. Perhaps only these one hundred people were absolutely loyal to Feng Quli.

Feng Jia said to a hundred people: "To return to Xianyang from here, we have to pass through a place with a very strange name. I don't know the pronunciation of Barbarian, but I know it can be translated as Evil Wolf Valley."

"This Wolf Valley is the only way back. I want you to ambush there."

"When they arrive at Wolf Valley, you must kill them immediately. And you must pretend to be barbarians."

The hundred people all nodded.

Afterwards, they had a good meal and set off towards the Wolf Valley.

…………

Antony and the lieutenant are plotting.

The lieutenant general said: "Sir, we can't go on like this. If Marco Polo is allowed to deceive people in the army, all our soldiers will run away."

Anthony nodded.

The deputy general said: "I suggest that Marco Polo be sent home immediately and intercept him on the road."

Anthony said: "What should be done specifically?"

The deputy general said: "Evil Wolf Valley is the only way for Marco Polo to go back. We might as well send people to pretend to be Qin people and hide in Evil Wolf Valley. When Marco Polo passes by, kill him."

"At that time, not only can Marco Polo be eliminated, but also the soldiers can be inspired to share the same hatred for the enemy."

Anthony nodded: "Okay, okay. You immediately select some loyal and brave people to do these things."

The deputy general said: "Yes, this is easy."

The deputy general spent a long time selecting among the army, and finally selected fifty people.

Only these fifty people are absolutely loyal. The lieutenant general can no longer believe the rest.

The deputy general discussed the decision with Anthony, and the fifty people agreed.

So, the two groups rushed to Wolf Valley at the same time.

…………

There is a group of bandits in the Wolf Valley.

These bandits robbed homes and committed all sorts of evil.

When the barbarian country was at peace, they robbed the surrounding villagers. Now that the Qin people are here, these bandits want to rob the Qin people again.

However, before they took action, they found that the Qin people were not easy to deal with, so the leader quickly gave up this plan.

They are watching.

If the Qin people win, they will surrender to the Qin people.

If the barbarians win, they surrender to the barbarians.

Now that the two armies are fighting, it is the time to recruit people. This group of bandits believes that their opportunity has come to gain promotion.

Recently, they have been meeting every day to discuss who to surrender to.

Some people advocate surrendering to the barbarians. They believe that after all, we are all ancestors, and after surrendering, they may be reused.

But some people advocate surrendering to the Qin people, because the Qin people are powerful and will definitely win.

While everyone was discussing, a soldier patrolling the mountain came back and said, "A group of Qin people are ambushing here."

The leader of the thieves was shocked: "Are the Qin people planning to attack us?"

The pawn said: "However, there are not many of them. They seem to be just trying to get information."

The leader of the thieves said: "Since you are here to inquire about information, you must be preparing to attack us."

The pawn remained silent.

The other thieves said worriedly: "What should we do?"

The leader of the thieves said: "Let's go see what's going on with that group of Qin people first."

So, the bandit leader quietly lurked over with these bandits.

The thief leader observed for a while and said to the people around him: "Do you think those people are really from Qin?"

The bandits said: "It doesn't seem to be the case. Qin people all have black hair, but these people... look the same as us."

The leader of the thieves hummed: "They are not Qin people, they are Qin people pretending to be people."

The bandit asked curiously: "Why do they do this?"

The leader of the thieves shook his head: "We don't know yet. They should be careful and observe patiently."

At this time, the soldier patrolling the mountain said again: "A group of officers and soldiers are coming, and they are also quietly ambushing here."

The thief leader was surprised: "The officers and soldiers are here too? Go and have a look."

They hid carefully and observed the officers and soldiers who were ambushing nearby.

The bandit observed for a while and said, "Do you think these people are officers and soldiers?"

The bandits around us said: "It's a bit different. The officers and soldiers look the same as us. These people... are clearly from Qin."

The leader of the thieves nodded: "These people are not officers and soldiers at all, they are Qin people pretending to be soldiers."

The bandits asked curiously: "But why did they do this?"

The thief leader shook his head: "I don't know, these people have been acting weird lately."

"The people of Qin want to pretend to be officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers want to pretend to be people of Qin. I have traveled around the world for so many years and I have never seen anything like this. I really don't know why."
