"This" Shang Xin was at a loss. The emperor was about to arrive. He didn't mean to just turn around. Besides, this event was of great significance to His Majesty.
Also, how can a generation of heroes be afraid of these Guizhou leaders?
However, after careful consideration, I still agreed. Reporting must be done, it all depends on what the emperor means.
He hurriedly told the 10,000 city defense troops where they were stationed, and then left.
Sure enough, Qin Shihuang attached great importance to this grand event, but the one he sent was not Zhang Han, but an unknown lieutenant general. The name of this lieutenant sounded strange, and I didn't know if he had seen it before.
However, Li Zhao didn't care. With his previous reputation, the lieutenant general would definitely listen to him. Of course, for such an important event, Qin Shihuang would definitely send out elites, and the elites happened to be his former soldiers, so it should not be difficult to mobilize them.
I don’t know if I have modern weapons. If I do, I can still cope with the unexpected. If I don’t, it will be dangerous.
No matter how elite the city defense army is, they can't withstand the attack of tens of thousands or even more people. What's more, these people are all from the Qin Dynasty. How can they be destroyed? They can only act according to the situation.
When Li Zhao arrived a few miles away from Shanglin Garden, he saw 10,000 troops. The army had no intention of entering Shanglin Garden. They just camped outside, but they were always ready to enter Shanglin Garden, presumably in preparation for the grand meeting tomorrow.
"General Li, you are here."
As soon as Li Zhao arrived, the deputy general noticed him immediately and greeted him respectfully. It could be seen that he knew Li Zhao.
But Li Zhao was unfamiliar with him. This person should not be his former subordinate, but fortunately, as he glanced around, he could still find many excited looks. It seemed that these people all recognized him.
Yes, most of the troops had fought with Li Zhao and had special admiration for him. At this moment, Li Zhao appeared and immediately caused a sensation. However, the military orders were overwhelming and no one dared to act rashly, but his eyes were fiery.
Li Zhao glanced at his former companions and was filled with emotion for a moment. His former subordinates were now a thing of the past.
But he didn't have time to express his feelings. He exchanged a few words with the deputy general and immediately got to the point.
"Lieutenant general, can you inquire about the situation in Shanglin Garden?"
As a grand event is approaching, the deputy general will not be so stupid as to ignore everything.
"I noticed that there are many Guizhou heads coming around Shanglin Garden, which is really strange."
It's good to know, and Li Zhao can save his words to explain.
"Immediately mobilize troops to move closer to Shanglin Garden. At least we must protect the path that His Majesty must pass through."
Although he asked Shang Xin to stop Qin Shihuang, it was hard to say whether he could make him turn around. He always prepared for the worst. If Qin Shihuang turned around, it would be fine. If not, he would have to protect him.
Upon hearing this, the deputy general showed a troubled expression and stepped back.
It's not that he didn't want to disobey Li Zhao, it was actually that Li Zhao was no longer their leader at this moment. If he wanted to mobilize 10,000 troops, he had to receive orders from His Majesty.
The order they received was to enter Shanglin Garden tomorrow, firstly to escort the grand event, and secondly to strengthen their reputation and push the grand event to its peak.
But there is still one day before tomorrow, and he cannot act without authorization.
Seeing the deputy general's hesitation, Li Zhao was furious, secretly thinking that he just didn't know how to adapt and was still hesitating under such circumstances.
"Elmhead, Your Majesty is coming in a car, and he will be at Shanglin Garden in an instant. Just like thousands of Guizhou riots, do you know what the result will be?"
The lieutenant lowered his head after hearing this, but then stepped back, trying to stay as far away from Li Zhao as possible, but remained silent.
Li Zhao's anger rose and he wanted to draw his sword and stab him. However, after he was dismissed, the general's sword was also hidden deeply, so naturally he could not draw it out again.
There was a moment of stalemate.
At the same time, on the other side, Shang Xin hurriedly galloped out of Shanglin Garden, crossed the iron bridge, and galloped on the cement road. Suddenly, he shot a few arrows from nowhere, hitting the horse's body hard. The horse suddenly lost its balance.
He let out a long hiss and fell forward, and Shang Xin was also carried away. He was thrown a few feet away and fell to the ground miserably.
Whoosh whoosh!
Beside the cement road, several people sprang out from the bushes. All of these people had their faces covered, but they were all holding long swords. After a few steps back, they placed the swords on Shang Xin's neck.
Before Shang Xin knew what happened, his head was covered and he was quickly carried away.
On a high hill, two people stood, looking at the scene in front of them, with satisfied and cold smiles on their faces.
"Uncle, what should we do next?"
