Qin Shihuang frowned.
He even wondered if he heard it correctly?
Needless to say, Zhou Bo was definitely deceived!
"Where is the strong man?"
"Still waiting outside."
"Bring him in quickly!"
"only!"
Zhou Bo quickly stood up and left.
Cao Xiu looked at Azheng with a smile.
"Azheng, are you happy?"
"Happy... happy?"
"What's your expression?" Cao Xiu then seemed to understand something and said with emotion: "This strong man assassinated the tyrant, and that tyrant was your mortal enemy who killed your father and destroyed the country. When you see this strong man, you will know whether he is high or low. I have to knock two of them!"
"..."
"Don't worry, Xiu'er." Wang Jian stood up, "Think about it, how could he be found so easily? What if this person is a spy bait deliberately released by the Qin State?"
Yo? !
Qin Shihuang looked at Wang Jian with interest.
Not bad!
You have the gift of rebellion!
There really is some truth to what I say.
Wang Jian felt a chill on his back and realized something was wrong.
Wow, is he almost turning into a rebel? !
Cao Xiu rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, but I'd better take a look first. After all, everyone is outside. And Lao Zhou is very cautious in doing things and will not fall for the bait easily."
"That man can't be a strong man who assassinated Qin."
"How do you know it?"
"because……"
Qin Shihuang thought for a while and said no more words. He also hoped to infiltrate the rebels, gain their trust, and then kill them all. Moreover, even if he said that he was the First Emperor, Cao Xiu would not believe it. There will even be doubts about his identity as the son of the Zhao Kingdom, which may affect his plans.
The main reason is that Cao Xiu has a strange brain circuit!
God knows what he will do after knowing the truth?
Don't act rashly until you are sure of his thoughts!
A moment later, there was a knock on the study door.
Three long and two short, naturally Zhou Bo is back.
"come in."
The door opens.
In addition to Zhou Bo, there is also a tall and strong man. Wearing coarse gray clothes with patches on them. The skin is dark, and there are even two deep scars on his face. He has strong muscles and a bronze dagger hanging from his waist. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, there is a hint of murderous intent, and it is obvious that human lives have been touched on his hands.
After seeing Cao Xiu, he immediately raised his hands and bowed.
"I've met Mr. Cao."
"Haha, you don't have to be polite." Cao Xiu smiled and walked forward and helped him up. "Are you a strong man who assassinated a tyrant?"
"My name is Xiu, and I am from Langya."
Qiao was also a little uneasy at the moment.
Because...he is not an assassin at all. He was originally a soldier of the Qi State, but became a prisoner after the Qin State destroyed Qi. He was originally going to be taken to Xianyang to build the emperor's mausoleum, but he just escaped with the prisoners and then became a bandit, mainly in the Donghai County area.
Last month, due to the assassination of the First Emperor, Langya, Donghai and other places were severely investigated. The county lieutenant personally led three thousand troops and leveled their stronghold. Most of his colleagues were killed on the spot, so he was lucky enough to escape.
Of course, he continues to be wanted.
As a result, the soldiers who voted for meritorious service didn't care at all. They all thought that he was the assassin who assassinated the First Emperor, and they chased him for three days and three nights!
Xiu was also very depressed. What did this have to do with him?
When he heard the news, he almost died of fright. Looking around, thousands of troops surrounded them. There were only twenty or thirty people in his village, so why did he come to arrest them in such a big way?
Moreover, they are all deadly!
He wanted to surrender, but he didn't give them a chance. First, Qin's crossbow washed the land from a distance, and even the rats in the village were shot into hedgehogs. The scene was quite spectacular.
Only later did I finally understand.
Because the First Emperor was attacked, in order to avoid being harshly criticized, the county guard naturally had to do something to calm the anger of the people above him. In this situation, they might have been killed by Li Si just because they entered the door with their left foot first.
He ran at the risk of his life in the mountain forest and was about to be caught up. It was Zhou Bo who took him and hid him in a cave to save his life. Coupled with the Qin army's posture, Zhou Bo felt that he was a strong man who could assassinate Qin.
Xiao immediately understood that he had found an organization. He has been around for so many years and is also a capable person with a very good eye. Seeing that Zhou Bo had no ill intentions towards him, he took the matter personally.
[Yes, Naigong is the one who assassinated Qin! 】
…
When Zhou Bo explained the cause and effect clearly, both Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian were confused. Thousands of people were dispatched to catch one of him. Even if this was fake, it had become real!
"So that's it..."
Cao Xiu nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at the dragon, I felt a little curious. The accent sounds like he is from Langya, and the appearance also means he has some skills. But he didn't understand, how did this guy escape unscathed?
"Sir, can you tell me about the assassination of Qin?"
Cao Xiu said and poured him a glass of millet wine.
The dragon was not polite and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hiss... this wine is very strong!"
"As for the assassination of Qin..." He looked indifferent and said coldly: "After the tyrant arrived at Langyatai, he started a large-scale construction project. With a wave of his hand, he moved 30,000 households to the head of Guizhou. At the same time, he recruited people who were good at water to work as boatmen. Nai Gong was confused because of this. Went in. When we found the opportunity, we scuttled the dragon boat, but unfortunately we still allowed the tyrant to escape."
"..."
"..."
Wang Jian and Qin Shihuang looked at each other.
What this guy said is true!
But alas, this is simply not possible.
To be able to board a dragon boat, the ancestors of three generations must be innocent. Even if some Qi people were temporarily recruited, there would still be dedicated guards watching them around the clock. To ensure the emperor's safety, nothing could be too strict.
Cao Xiu frowned when he heard this.
He also felt something was not right.
How easy is it to assassinate the emperor?
What this guy said was too relaxed!
Is it possible that the guards of Qin State are all fools?
Qin Shihuang sneered from the side.
"How did you scuttle the dragon boat? As far as I know, the bottom of the dragon boat is more than ten feet thick. If you wanted to scuttle the dragon boat, the movement would never be small. How did you avoid the surveillance of the guards?"
sure!
Cao Xiu watched with interest.
Don't worry, just watch the performance quietly.
Isn't this the credit of delivering it to your door?
Qiao swallowed, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
No, if we continue to talk, we will definitely end up cheating!
He has to find a chance to escape!
Qiao thought about countermeasures and looked around.
"The assassination of Qin was not the work of one man. Naturally, someone helped him to avoid the surveillance of the guards."
"Could the guards of Qin be so stupid?"
"Maybe I'm slacking off."
The dragon stared intently at the child in front of him.
Okay, it’s up to you!
Just pick this dwarf to start with!
This kid just kept talking too much, which made him exposed!
As long as this kid is held hostage, he can escape intact.
