Time goes back a few hours ago.
Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng waited anxiously for the news.
According to Feng Quji's report, Zhang Han destroyed the rebel troops at the South Gate and West Gate. He was so happy that he could not sit still. Later, he heard that there were still rebel troops in the east, and they even had artillery. The crisis was not resolved, and his heart was tightened again. stand up.
Although I don’t know what the artillery is, judging from Feng Quji’s description, it is a very terrifying thing. It can kill people instantly. Isn’t this the same as Li Zhao’s big murder weapon?
He had used Li Zhao's great weapon, and he was scared when he thought about its power. If the rebel army had such a thing, wouldn't the east city defense army be in danger?
Feng Quji had already gone to find out about the situation in Dongcheng personally. He was extremely anxious now that he had not heard back after so long.
Each of the four cities in Xianyang is related to the safety of Xianyang. If one city is destroyed, Xianyang will be destroyed.
While he was pacing back and forth, Feng Quji hurried in, looking excited.
"how?"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, you have won, you have won!"
"We won, really?" Ying Zheng's hands shook slightly.
Victory means that Xianyang is completely defended and the crisis can be relieved.
"Really, Li Zhao used terrorist weapons to annihilate the enemy in roundabout ways, and finally won."
Ying Zheng clapped his hands together with an exaggerated expression, tremblingly picked up the wine on the counter and drank it down in one gulp, shouting: "Okay, great."
"Li Zhao has always been my humerus and a loyal minister."
Infinite emotion.
While excited, he did not forget the rebel artillery. This thing was so terrifying, how could Li Zhao defeat it? How many troops were lost?
"How much did our Qin army lose? How much did the bandit army lose?"
Feng Quji raised his head slightly, with a trace of pride in his eyes, and said, "Our Qin army suffered 4,000 casualties and 8,000 casualties, while the bandit army suffered 130,000 casualties."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, full of disbelief.
The bandit army lost 130,000? With only 50,000 people and they have terrifying artillery, how is this possible?
Ying Zheng couldn't believe it at all.
And his soldiers only lost 4,000, 4,000 and 130,000, what a huge number.
For a while, he was immersed in shock and could not recover.
Finally, he burst into laughter.
"God bless me, Great Qin! The bandit army is arrogant, but it's nothing more than that."
Feng Quji laughed with him, but he couldn't hide his joy.
"We, the Qin Dynasty, are the orthodox people in the world. No matter how strong the bandits are, they are nothing. This is Your Majesty's blessing. It will illuminate the Qin Dynasty and protect the Qin Dynasty."
Few people can match this flattering skill, but most emperors like to hear it.
"That's right!" Ying Zheng's face was full of glory, but he didn't take any credit. He waved his hand and said, "This is Li Zhao's bravery. This move should be regarded as his first achievement."
He looked at Feng Quji and asked, "Prime Minister Feng, how should I reward you for this achievement?"
Those who have merit must be rewarded, this is the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
"This." Feng Quji thought for a while and responded, "It's hard to make a conclusion at this moment. After all, the rebel army has not been completely wiped out. Li Zhaozheng ordered people to pursue them. When Li Zhao destroys them, it will not be too late to discuss the merits."
Ying Zheng nodded.
"Go down! Get to know the situation on the front line as soon as possible and report it to me in time. Over the past ten years, we, Da Qin, have received too little good news. It's time for revitalization."
Immediately, his smile disappeared and turned into seriousness and severity.
"Hmph! Some people are proud of themselves and have done nothing this time. It's time for them to bow their heads."
Feng Quji frowned and his expression became serious. He understood what His Majesty meant, bowed, thanked him and left.
After leaving the main hall, I looked up at the sky and was filled with emotion.
"Hey, it seems that His Majesty has made up his mind. Indeed, some old regulations should be changed, and a big victory is an opportunity."
He shook his head, sighed, and left.
The good news came frequently, and Ying Zheng was in a happy mood. The worries of the past few days disappeared, and he seemed to be ten years younger.
"Come here, please pass on the order and report."
He had been nervous for the past few days and had declined everyone's visits. At this moment, it was time to open up.
"No!" Shang Xin accepted the order and left. Only two moments later, a maid hurriedly came to see her and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, it's bad, Princess Yangzi is missing."
The visitor was none other than Qiuxiang. She waited for some time and finally saw His Majesty, so she quickly reported.
"Yin Man is missing?" Ying Zheng, who was originally overjoyed, suddenly turned gloomy when he heard this, "Give me a good explanation!"
Then, Qiuxiang told the story of Yinman's escape and what she had investigated.
"What did you say? Yin Man left the city a few days ago and his whereabouts are unknown? How did you serve the princess?"
Ying Zheng was furious, with a ferocious look on his face, "Come here, take it down. If you can't find the princess, she will be buried!"
Qiuxiang did not plead for mercy, knowing that it was her fault.
But the princess regards her as a sister and cannot ignore her. Even if she dies, she must first find the princess before she dies.
These days there is chaos and chaos, and the bandits are besieging the city. It will be dangerous and unpredictable for the princess to go out of the city alone. She wants His Majesty to know the princess's movements as soon as possible and find the princess in time.
Otherwise, she will die unhappy.
"Your Majesty, Qiuxiang is aware of the crime, but the safety of the princess comes first. Please allow Qiuxiang to provide important information before handling it."
Ying Zheng nodded in anger and asked: "What's the important news?"
He also seemed anxious. Yinman was his most beloved daughter, so nothing could happen to her. Moreover, he had promised Ah Qing that he would treat his daughter well. If something happened to Yinman, he would feel sorry for Ah Qing, and he would not be able to forgive himself.
"Before the princess left the city, she learned that Li Zhao was in Chang'an Township. My slave," Qiuxiang paused, "I guess that the princess is most likely looking for Li Zhao."
"Li Zhao?" Ying Zheng glared angrily, "Why did she go looking for Li Zhao?"
At this moment, Qiuxiang's mouth trembled.
The princess has a secret affection for Li Zhao, but no one knows it except her. If she tells it, will it implicate Li Zhao? But the princess's safety was important, and she couldn't care so much.
"Because, because this is their promise." As Yin Man's closest maid, she still knew about the affairs between the two of them.
"Promise?" Ying Zheng's face was gloomy and his eyes were on fire. It could be seen that he was suppressing it. "How to promise?"
The sound decibels increase in vain.
Qiuxiang was so frightened that she didn't know whether to speak or not.
"If you don't tell me, you'll die!"
"The slave said, just say it." Qiuxiang can no longer hide it, otherwise not only will she not be able to find the princess, but she will also be sentenced to death. "Li Zhao promised to come to see the princess, but he failed to fulfill it because of the bandit army's attack. The princess heard that Li Zhao Being alone in Chang'an Township, it is very likely that I left the city because of this."
"Li Zhao, how hateful, you actually harmed my daughter, hum! They will never be able to do that in this life." Ying Zheng was furious, and his words became decisive.
Qiuxiang felt chilled after hearing this.
She knows the princess's thoughts best. If she can't see Li Zhao, she might go crazy, but Your Majesty
She was extremely anxious, but helpless, and lowered her head deeply.
"Hmph! Come here, take her down and wait until you find the princess before you punish her."
Qiuxiang didn't want to be detained like this, so she quickly begged for mercy:
"Your Majesty, Qiu Xiang knows that this is a capital crime, but the princess treats me like a sister. Please allow Qiu Xiang to capture me only when she hears that the princess is fine. Qiu Xiang can close her eyes even if she dies."
Ying Zheng's expression was a little relaxed, so he waved his hand to let him go.
For such a loyal person, he shouldn't be so heartless, whatever!
Then he left angrily, and he wanted to send his guards out of the city to look for Yin Man.
Li Zhao has a promise to Yin Man, and he also has a promise to A Qing. Anyone who hurts Yin Man will not die well. Li Zhao caused Yin Man to disappear and is in danger at any time. He will never tolerate Li Zhao.
A few hours later, the guards searched all around Xianyang and every corner of Chang'an Township, but could not find Yin Man. Ying Zheng's face was extremely gloomy and dark.
"Li Zhao, what do you want me to do with you?"
While Ying Zheng was roaring, Feng Quji came to see him happily.
"Your Majesty." He did not see the ugly expression on Ying Zheng's face, "The remnants of the bandit army were expelled by our army and they searched for thirty miles without finding their whereabouts. They will definitely be frightened by the news that our Qin Dynasty will not dare to do it again in the future. This is a great joy!"
Feng Quji became more and more excited as he talked, and he didn't care about Ying Zheng's face.
"At this moment, Li Zhaozheng is leading his army in triumph. Please ask me to greet him."
"Welcome?" Ying Zheng said one word in anger, and every word he spoke was filled with the aura of burning fire.
"You don't have to pay attention to this matter, I will handle it myself."
Feng Quji heard that something was wrong, but it was hard to guess, so he left inexplicably.
"A big welcome? Ridiculous, I'll give you the cold shoulder."
Then, when Li Zhao led his army back to the court, it seemed extremely deserted and there was no trace of triumph.
Not long after, the guard hurriedly came to report that the princess had been found, but the princess was seriously injured and General Li Zhao was sending her back in person.
"Seriously injured? Yin Man was seriously injured?" Ying Zheng jumped up, unable to contain his excitement and anger, "Who was injured?"
His eyes were like poisonous snakes.
The guard was startled and did not dare to hide it, so he informed the soldiers of the message.
In fact, after the soldiers arrived in Xianyang, they found that the memory of that moment had completely disappeared, and they could only vaguely say that they did not know how they were injured.
"I don't know either."
"Don't know? You don't dare to say it, right?" Ying Zheng stared at Wei Wei and shouted him back.
Since Yin Man was injured among the troops led by Li Zhao, it must have been Li Zhao's fault that Yin Man was in danger. The injury was due to Li Zhao's failure to protect him.
"Your Majesty, the princess is back and the royal doctor is treating her." After a while, Shang Xin said hurriedly.
Ying Zheng didn't say anything and hurried to the imperial doctor's office.
Royal Medical Office.
"Your Majesty is here!"
A waiter called, and immediately everyone knelt down to welcome Ying Zheng's arrival, but many princes and princesses were also very jealous.
Just after Yin Man was sent back, his father came, which showed his eagerness. They didn't get this kind of treatment!
Ying Zheng ignored it and walked directly inside. At this moment, Yin Man was lying on the couch, his face was pale, his consciousness was blurred, and he was muttering something, which seemed to be the word "Li Zhao".
Ying Zheng was even more angry, but when he saw his daughter like this, he forgot about his anger and came to her immediately.
This was a sword wound that penetrated the chest. The ragged clothes were torn, revealing a blood-black wound. The sternum could also be seen faintly, with black blood oozing out of it.
This sword was so vicious that it killed half of Yin Man's life.
"Yin Man!" Ying Zheng shouted urgently, but couldn't get a response from Yin Man. A trace of sadness suddenly appeared on his old face. This was a promise to Ah Qing, but he couldn't do it.
Sweeping Liuhe was his achievement, so he naturally knew how long an injured person like this could survive.
The sword thrust towards the chest, but was blocked by the sternum and deflected towards the right rib, piercing directly under the rib.
Although no vital damage was done, it was difficult to treat. He had seen too many injuries like this, and almost none survived.
But seeing the doctors nervously treating him, he ignited a glimmer of hope and asked, "Is it possible to survive?"
Several imperial doctors were trembling and frightened, and their whole bodies were shaking. An older imperial doctor answered: "Your Majesty, I, I, I and others are incompetent. Please forgive me."
After finishing speaking, all the imperial doctors knelt down and knocked their heads to the ground.
What's more, there is fluid leaking from the crotch.
This is His Majesty's favorite daughter, they know it, but they know even more that with such an injury, there is nothing they can do, and there is nothing left to do if they are incompetent.
"Incompetent? Hahaha!" Ying Zheng laughed, laughing crazily, "Since you are incompetent, why should you be an imperial doctor? You can just die."
The word 'death' was spoken so ruthlessly that several imperial doctors were so frightened that they fell to the ground and begged for mercy.
Ying Zheng's face showed a trace of cruelty, and he shouted: "Someone, drag these quack doctors out and cook them."
"Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!"
Several imperial doctors suddenly fell to the ground, begging for mercy even louder.
At this time, two people came in a hurry, it was Li Zhao and Xia Wuji.
Seeing Xia Wuji, Ying Zheng calmed down his anger a little and his tone became softer, "Dad Xia, you are back."
Xia Wuji held up his hand, "That's right. I heard that Princess Yangzi was seriously injured, so I hurried back to see if I could rescue her."
"Then please take action immediately, Father Xia!" Ying Zheng looked very polite, which was completely different from his previous attitude.
This is not surprising to everyone. Some people are aware of the friendship between the two of them.
Xia Wuji nodded and walked into the bed.
Li Zhao followed, and when he saw Ying Zheng, he saluted quickly. Ying Zheng looked at him unkindly and remained silent, but his eyes were filled with endless anger.
Li Zhao's heart tightened, he didn't know why Ying Zheng acted like this, but he was concerned about Yin Man, so he didn't think much about it, and followed Xia Wuji to Yin Man.
When we were in Afang Palace, we didn't take a close look at Yin Man's wounds. But now, when I looked at them, my heart was twitching. Cao Yang wanted to kill him so badly! It was so terrifying.
The next moment, his face turned ugly. Although the injury did not damage the heart, it penetrated the body and caused severe blood loss. According to Da Qin's medical technology, there was no cure at all.
Not to mention that Xia Wuqie was a top figure in Da Qin's medical profession, but it would be very difficult to deal with this injury.
Sure enough, after Xia Wuqie looked around for a while, his expression turned ugly.
Ying Zheng came over, glanced at Li Zhao fiercely, and then asked Xia Wuji: "Dad Xia, what's going on? Can we save him?"
Xia Wuqie sighed helplessly, "The injury is too serious, I can't do anything."
Ying Zheng also expected this result, and did not have much emotional fluctuations. He just waved his hand to Xia Wuji and asked him to go out without saying anything else.
Xia Wuji did not go out. He raised his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, General Zhao Li is known as the miracle doctor in the army. Can I give him a try?"
"Li Zhao?" Ying Zheng's face became even more unkind, "You might as well give it a try!"
"If you can't do it, cook it."
