Since then.
The western frontier land.
Since Mengtian's military order was issued, the guard posts outside the camp extended for dozens of miles.
In addition, there are nearly a hundred hidden sentries, who take turns every day.
In their spare time, many Qingqi went out to hunt some game in the mountains and forests.
The place where the Mauryan army camped.
When Lei Hong heard the news in Da Qin's military camp, he stood up suddenly and said with a happy face: "Is this really true???"
The soldier nodded heavily and said: "Bishop, my subordinates are investigating day and night, and other brothers have also secretly gone to other military camps in Daqin. The situation is almost the same."
"Because the Qin army expanded its security for dozens of miles outward, and the number of secret sentries increased several times, it was difficult to get close to investigate."
"However, one thing that is worth affirming is that every evening, a group of light cavalry will appear in the Qin Army's camp to go hunting. Especially recently, the frequency of Qin Army hunting has become more and more frequent."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!!!"
"Hahaha!"
Lei Hong laughed loudly and looked at Fan Han.
at the same time.
Fan Han slowly stood up from his seat and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat first.
"In this case, the Qin army must have definitely run out of food."
Fan Han said thoughtfully.
"It must be like this!"
Lei Hong nodded heavily and sneered: "I didn't expect the Qin Army to be like this! It sounds like there must be very little food and grass left in the Qin Army's camp!"
"This matter must be informed to the king as soon as possible. Once the Qin army's supplies of food and grass arrive, it will be difficult to conquer the Qin army!"
Fan Han's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Yeah!"
"This time, we must defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop!"
…
Da Qin!
Prince's Mansion!
In the huge courtyard.
Ying Ziye lay flat on the bamboo chair, lazily basking in the sun.
Fine wines and fine wines have already been placed next to it, which is extremely comfortable.
It's not that Ying Ziye doesn't care about the war on the western border, but it's just that there is nothing he can do now.
Now that the bait has been put out, all that's left is to wait for the fish to take the bait.
If it is because of impatience, it is easy to scare the fish away.
All of a sudden!
A maid came forward quickly and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister wishes to see you."
"Please come in, Prime Minister!"
"Here!"
The maid bowed and retreated.
About half a moment later, Li Si walked forward quickly, bowed his hands and said, "I pay my respects to Your Highness!"
Ying Ziye waved his hand casually and said with a smile, "Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite."
"Let's take a seat together!"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Si bowed his hands and sat aside.
But his eyes couldn't help but fall on the fine wine and fine wines on the side.
"Your Majesty, you are so happy!"
"It seems that His Highness is already confident of victory in the border war!"
"Hahaha!"
Ying Ziye laughed loudly, how could he not understand the meaning of Li Si's words.
"Prime Minister, you are no longer an outsider!"
"You are still like this young master!"
"Come here, get another bottle!"
"Here!"
As the maid bowed and prepared to retreat, Li Sihan smiled and said, "That's not what I meant."
"You, you!"
"You're just a damn duck with a tough mouth!"
"However, it doesn't matter. I am not afraid of others saying that the front is tight and the rear is tight!"
"Things have to relax and slow down!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Si laughed loudly and said with admiration: "Your Highness's words really leave me speechless!"
As the maid fetched the wine bottle, Li Si filled a glass and toasted: "Your Highness, please!"
Say it!
Li Si drank it all in one gulp.
After Ying Ziye finished drinking the wine together, he slowly said: "The Prime Minister came here today, presumably not just to drink and laugh with me, right?"
Li Si put the wine bottle aside, gradually put away his smile, and said thoughtfully: "There is indeed something, but I just don't know how to tell it to His Highness."
When Ying Ziye heard this, curiosity arose in his heart, and he asked doubtfully: "What does the Prime Minister have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Your Highness, do you still remember when you and Princess Jade stole the Imperial Palace's defense plan?"
Li Si whispered.
"Of course I remember!"
Ying Ziye nodded slightly, his eyes deep.
Previously, he had many suspicions that Hu Hai was responsible, and for this reason, he even sent people to guard the surroundings of the mansion.
However, there was no movement from Princess Heyu.
The people who sneaked into the imperial palace seemed to appear out of thin air.
"Does the Prime Minister already have something in mind?"
Li Si's face paused slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "I can't tell you the features, but I seem to have found traces of them in Xianyang!"
Say it!
Li Si took out a roster from his arms and handed it to Ying Ziye.
"Your Highness, this thing is registered by the guards of Xianyang City based on the number of people entering and leaving Xianyang City every day."
"Since three days ago, some suspicious people have suddenly appeared in Xianyang City."
"These people are not merchants, nor are they seeking relatives!"
"I secretly sent people to inquire about the inns where these people currently live. Although there seems to be no connection, the general area where they live is concentrated near Xicheng District."
Ying Ziye's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "I wonder why the Prime Minister would suspect that these people are related to the killers who sneaked into the imperial palace that day?"
"Because they all have a very unique smell!"
"And these smells are related to the poisons taken by the assassins that day!"
"smell?"
Ying Ziye screamed in surprise and looked at Li Si.
"Exactly!"
Li Si nodded heavily and said solemnly: "I sent people to check, and those assassins died from the poison of Datura!"
"It's also called flower poison!"
“It requires unique conditions to grow, and due to long-term contact with these things, these people will have a unique floral fragrance.”
"Although they cover it up deliberately... the taste is definitely unmistakable!"
When Ying Ziye heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "So, these people's identities are probably from the Western Regions!"
"But why are they here?"
"Now, what is their purpose?"
Li Si asked tentatively: "Then, Your Highness, do you want to take advantage of the situation and catch them all, and then interrogate them?"
Ying Ziye waved his hand and said thoughtfully: "For now, don't act rashly!"
"Send someone to secretly keep an eye on their every move in Xianyang!"
"In addition, we must also prevent them from inquiring about information in Xianyang City!"
"After all, the western frontier was just attacked by the Mauryan Dynasty!"
"With Princess Heyu's character, this time is not another kind of temptation for her!"
Hearing this, Li Si looked slightly surprised and said, "Your Highness thinks these people from the Western Regions are probably an arrangement with Princess Jade?"
Ying Ziye shook his head and said, "It's just an analysis! But I can't be sure!"
"Maybe that's not their intention!"
"It's just that for now, we need to take a foolproof approach!"
Li Si nodded and said, "Here!"
"I will arrange this matter immediately and order people to raise food and grass first. At least on the surface, it will look like it!"
"Um!"
