In the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, a man dressed in black appeared at some unknown time. He came to Ying Zheng in a daze and bowed down.
"I have met His Majesty."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.
"Tie Ying, your stealth skills have improved again."
"Thank you for your compliments, Your Majesty! In order to protect the emperor, Tie Ying does not dare to slack off for a moment."
Ying Zheng was very satisfied, and the next moment he became serious, staring at Tie Ying, "I have something you need to do in the past three days, so you don't need to protect me."
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Tie Ying's expression became solemn. He had always been lurking beside the emperor and never left for a moment.
There must be something wrong with the emperor's decision.
"There is a young man named Li Zhao who is leading the city defense army to exterminate the bandits. The bandits are cunning and afraid of making mistakes. You go and protect him."
"Your Majesty, it's just a young lady, why bother? I can just send any swordsman."
"Stop talking!" Ying Zheng was obviously angry, "Do as I say. Also, if anything happens to Li Zhao, you don't have to come back."
These words seemed firm, and Tie Ying was startled for a moment, and he immediately dared not speak any more.
"Promise, I will ensure that Young Master Li is fine."
"Be careful not to expose yourself before the critical moment of life and death. Also, report everything that happened in Saga Mountain to me, no matter how big or small it is."
"promise!"
The Iron Eagle quickly disappeared.
...
Back in Chang'an Township, Li Zhao was in embarrassment. For a moment, he really wanted to escape, but Qin Shihuang seemed to read his mind. Five hundred city defense troops followed closely, and he also sent a deputy general to accompany him.
"Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang, you are forcing me to go to Liangshan! If you give me an army of 100,000, I will really be happy to go, but it is only 500. Isn't that going to death? Zhang Liang is so scheming, how should I deal with it."
"Although I have five bazookas, it is not difficult to deal with Zhang Liang, but this thing is what I use to make a fortune. Once I use it up, it will be gone. It is all money, so don't waste it like this."
"And using this powerful weapon to deal with bandits seems a bit overkill."
"No, I have to find a way to escape. Whoever wants to suppress the bandits can go!" Li Zhao slipped into the room, quickly opened the back window, and jumped out.
"Li Shaonei, are you ready to go?"
Just when he was about to run away, a figure appeared beside him, like a ghost, it was the deputy general.
Li Zhao really wanted to curse, this guy is really "inseparable"! It seems that Qin Shihuang is keeping an eye on him.
"Hehe! Yes, let's set off now. You go and start the army first, and I will arrive soon."
"No, Your Majesty said that only you can mobilize the 500 troops. I am just threatening them."
Li Zhao hates the cold, and it will be difficult to escape with such a follower!
"Okay, let's go!" He had no choice but to set off. It only took three days, no, to be precise, only two days, because going to Saga Mountain would take almost one day.
Time cannot be wasted, otherwise the headcount will be lost.
"No!" The deputy general accepted the order, but had no intention of leaving immediately.
Li Zhao was puzzled and asked, "Do you have anything else?"
The deputy general pointed to the house and said, "Should Li Shaonei get ready?"
"I'm ready for whatever I want." In fact, he really had nothing to prepare.
"I said yes, the thing that can kill thirty people with one shot."
Um! Li Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that he was interested in the sand gun. Indeed, he had learned from the deputy general how Meng Yi suppressed the bandits. Meng Yi could save his life only because of the gun he gave him.
Moreover, Meng Yi seems to have exaggerated the power of the gun. Killing thirty people with one shot is really an exaggeration. The sand gun he knows can only injure a dozen people at most. It is impossible to kill thirty people. .
However, he did not explain.
"Just make one of that thing and it's gone."
"No more?" The deputy general's body couldn't help but retreat.
If nothing else, something big will happen. You must know that General Meng Yi is a powerful general of the Qin Dynasty. Even he was defeated. A young man suppressing bandits is looking for death.
After receiving the order, he said that he would assist Li Shao Nei in suppressing the bandits. He was happy because he also learned from the survivors that the weapon Li Shao Nei gave to General Meng was particularly sharp. With that thing, even if he didn't use five A hundred armies can defeat the bandits without leaving any trace behind.
But if it’s gone, that’s not the case anymore. He is not afraid if there are no special sharp weapons. He is not a person who is afraid of death, but it is a pity that General Meng has lost many people, and he may lose again at this moment. The city defense army cannot withstand such a torment.
"Li Shaonei, I think we need to take a long-term approach," the deputy general suggested.
Li Zhao rolled his eyes at him, "Are you afraid? If you are afraid, you can leave. I will never stop you."
Of course, if the deputy general leaves, he can easily sneak away, which is a good idea.
"Okay, let's set off."
The lieutenant-general had a grimace on his face and responded without fear, but sighed. As the commander of the city defense army, and the five hundred troops were all his heritage, it was really a loss. He, the commander of thousands, had come to an end, but he could refuse the order. ? cannot.
Soon, the five hundred troops set off and headed straight for Mount Saga.
At the foot of Linshan Mountain, Li Zhao deliberately stopped at the place where Meng Yi had fallen into his trap. There are no more dozens of banquets, but there is a flat land. There are not many obstacles in the flat land, and there are even few trees.
He had to frown.
This place is empty and not a place for conspiracy. I believe Meng Yi thought so at the time and lost his vigilance! Resulting in a fiasco.
In this way, Zhang Liang is more difficult to deal with than imagined.
"Young Master, there is something discovered ahead." At this time, a guard came to report.
"Oh!" Li Zhao asked the 500 troops to stay where they were, and he took a dozen people to investigate.
At the other end of the empty land, the only road leading to the village, the place suddenly became extremely flat, as if someone had just cleaned it up.
"That's wrong!" Li Zhao frowned.
The lieutenant general disagreed, and said to Li Zhao with insufficient respect: "What's surprising? There were dozens of banquets placed here, but they have all been removed. They must be cleaned up."
Li Zhao didn't respond and stared there closely.
"There is also a path. On the surface, there is nothing special about it. But if you look closely, do you notice that there are thorns on the trees, which look like thorns?"
The guard pointed to the trees not far away and reported.
Li Zhao took a closer look, and sure enough, there were something vaguely like thorns on every tree, which you couldn't really tell unless you looked closely.
And the only passage leading to the mountain is also so smooth.
"Come forward and take a look." Li Zhao told the guard.
The guard didn't understand Li Zhao's intention, but he still walked on the path without any sense of caution.
"Young Master, I just walked through this passage. Although it is smoother, it is not dangerous." The guard said after returning.
"Li Shaonei, are we too careful? The reason why this road is smooth is that bandits must be using it to transport supplies. Is there anything to be wary of?"
