Langya County, the Chinese army camp.
Li Si looked down at the sand table map and frowned.
He was already in his sixties, and his temples were turning white. He wears black brocade clothes, a handsome crown on his head, and a pair of brown brocade shoes. He has not slept for several days now, his eyes are bloodshot, and his goatee may not have been trimmed for a long time.
It was fine when he came, but now the emperor is gone!
I wonder how he could sleep?
Li Si was so anxious that boils broke out on his mouth, but there was nothing he could do. He was originally a minor official in the state of Chu. He was inspired by the sight of the giant rat and resolutely became a disciple of Xunzi. Relying on Xunzi's golden brand, he entered the Qin Dynasty. Fortunately, he was introduced by Lu Buwei and was reused by the King of Qin.
For more than twenty years, Li Si devoted himself to the Qin State. He knew very well that it was because of the First Emperor that he, Li Si, could sit on the throne of Zuo Prime Minister today.
I still remember that night, the First Emperor took a dragon boat cruise in the East China Sea. As a result, the dragon boat was destroyed by a storm, and Wang Jian and the emperor were swept into the waves, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
They say their whereabouts are unknown, but in fact I'm afraid it's difficult...
Li Si didn't dare to think about it, let alone think about it. If the emperor really died because of this, the consequences would be unimaginable. It has only been a few years since Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms. In the past few years, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms everywhere have been trying to make trouble. If the news of his disappearance is known, there will be chaos!
Therefore, Li Si specially arranged for Zhao Hai, the Marquis of Jiancheng, Gongsun Cheng, the Marquis of Changwu, and Feng Wuze, the Marquis of Wuxin, to return to Xianyang as usual. It's like the First Emperor is still there, in case the news leaks out. He and Wang Ben stayed in Langya and continued to search for the emperor's whereabouts.
If you are alive, you want to see people, if you are dead, you want to see corpses!
…
"Xuanniao Guard urgent report!"
Following the sound, a sharp man wearing black armor soon walked in. He was extremely rugged in appearance, nearly nine feet tall, with a sword on his waist and a vigorous gait.
"I have met the king."
"No need to be polite." Li Si stood up with difficulty and looked at the guard in front of him, "How is the situation?"
The Black Bird Guards are the elites selected from the elites of the Qin State. They are the elites among the elites. They are responsible for personally protecting the emperor's safety, and their number is less than a hundred.
They have superb riding skills and are proficient in bows, swords and weapons. They are all over seven feet five inches tall. His gait is vigorous and he can chase a galloping horse. He is agile and can ride up and down the car. He is highly skilled in martial arts and can draw a powerful five-stone bow. Be strong and able to control the flag in the car!
Not only that, they must also pass the political review. Three generations back, they must all be old Qin people with great military exploits. After joining the Black Bird Guard, he swore allegiance to the emperor.
"We have searched along the seashore and found nothing so far."
"Keep looking!"
Li Si struck the sand table with his palm, his face turned livid.
"Also, has Xu Shi, the Qi man, relaxed?"
"Never."
"Continue the trial!" Liston glared angrily, "There are many problems with the dragon boat presented by this person, and luring you to go out to sea to find immortals must be related to this matter."
"only!"
Li Si's eyes became colder and colder, and his words were full of murderous intent, "The dragon boat sank into the sea, and many fishermen saw many soldiers being washed back to the coast. Can you handle it properly at this time?"
This must not be leaked out now.
Even if he had to kill people and silence them, Li Si would not hesitate!
He's done a lot of dirty work over the years, and he knows his place. The emperor used him just to cause trouble for him. As long as he can help Qin, he is willing to do anything.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." The guard paused, "There has been a major epidemic in the East China Sea fishing village in the past few days, and there is not even one out of ten!"
"Just step back."
"only."
After the guards left, Li Si collapsed on the ground. He knew it was wrong to do so, but those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. For the great cause of Qin, someone must stand up!
Before Li Si could take a breath, the curtain was opened again.
The person who walked in was a middle-aged man with a beard and slightly white temples. Wearing a jade crown and light leather armor. There is a sword hanging on his waist, his eyebrows are like swords, his eyes are like swords, and he walks like a tiger, showing off a vague power.
Seeing the person coming, Li Si stood up quickly.
"Marquis Tongwu!"
"Mr. Li."
The middle-aged man is Wang Jian's legitimate son, Tongwuhou Wang Bi!
However, at this moment, his face was also full of exhaustion, "I searched everywhere, and finally got some clues."
"What?!"
Liston was pleasantly surprised.
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Li." Wang Ben waved his hand and shouted toward the door, "Bring this person in!"
Then, a middle-aged man was taken into custody.
After entering the camp, he knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly.
Naturally, the Qin Dynasty also had a ritual of kneeling and bowing. In fact, the Zhou Dynasty had a nine-bow ceremony, including the bowing of hands and the head bow, which was very complicated. It's just that people are kneeling at this time, so the kneeling ceremony is not very insulting.
"Who is this?"
"My...this official is the magistrate of Dongwu County."
"What did you commit?"
Seeing him hesitating, Wang Ben walked out straight away.
Then, he directly took out a jade pendant. The jade is clear and light yellow, with many cloud patterns carved on it, and the one in the middle is a lifelike black bird with spread wings.
"This...this is..."
Li Si held the jade pendant and took a breath.
This is the black bird jade pendant worn by the emperor!
"This thing came from this thief!"
"Tell me, where did this jade pendant come from?"
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Li. Ben already knows it." Wang Ben waved his hands calmly and said indifferently: "This jade pendant was made by two children. They came to this Dongwu County Temple two decades ago. They called themselves the Emperor and I." Weng."
"What?!"
Li Si stared, his face full of bewilderment.
What's going on?
"The thief thought it was just children playing around, so he kicked them out. He also threatened that if they dared to talk nonsense again, they would be arrested to build the Great Wall. And he also took the jade pendant away forcibly!"
Now Li Si understood...
The emperor and Marquis Wu Cheng are both still alive!
They might have been injured, so they ordered the two children to bring the jade pendants to find someone for help, but the magistrate of Dongwu County was delayed.
Since the child holds a jade pendant, he must have seen the emperor. In other words, if we can find these two children, we may be able to find the emperor!
Li Si understood in his heart and immediately stepped forward.
With a smile on his face, he helped the county magistrate up with his own hands.
"Do you still remember how you looked like a child?"
"Remember, I will never forget it!"
"If you want to live, draw them."
"The subordinates must do their best!"
"Take him down, draw him and bring them to me."
"only!"
After they left, Li Si smiled rarely.
"What do you think, Marquis Tongwu?"
"Look, Mr. Li." Wang Ben stepped forward, pointed to the sand table map and said: "Donwu County is also close to the sea, but it is closer to Donghai County. I and Your Majesty must have drifted to Dongwu County. Due to their injuries, they only Let those two kids talk."
"Si and Tongwuhou have the same idea!"
While the two were discussing, the guard walked in.
At the same time, cloth and silk will also be presented.
Li Si winked at the guard and said, "Do it more cleanly."
"only!"
Regardless of whether it is drawn or not, this county magistrate must die!
Wang Ben took the cloth and said, "Whether or not His Majesty can be found depends entirely on these two children. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find them!"
Then, he opened the cloth.
However, the next moment the cloth fell to the ground.
Wang Ben backed away as if he had seen a ghost.
"This...this is impossible!"
