Cao Xiu was so anxious that his back was covered with cold sweat.
He knew what he was doing, and if he was discovered, he would be dead. He had had nightmares over the years, but when it came true, he was still at a loss. His mental endurance was not strong enough to prevent the mountain from collapsing in front of him.
In desperation, even Su Zi and Li Hai were present.
"Why are you so anxious, sir?"
"That's right." Fusu frowned pretending to be puzzled, "As the saying goes, Confucius said Chengren, Mencius said righteousness. When the mountains look up, the scenery stops. Even if there are thousands of troops outside the door, as long as Cao Jun can do it Sit up straight, what’s the point of fear?”
"Are you okay with your brain?"
Cao Xiu was so anxious that he cursed loudly. No matter what, escaping for your life is definitely the best solution at this time. If you run out and fight with others, isn't that looking for death?
"Don't rush."
Qin Shihuang was also quite helpless. He knew who was coming, but he didn't expect that the movement would be so big, and he didn't expect that Cao Xiu would be so timid.
"You have a knife on your neck, why don't you rush?"
Cao Xiu didn't bother to care about them.
If caught, none of them would be able to escape.
Then, he set his sights on Li Hai.
Could it be that this kid betrayed him?
No, he didn't know about it at all. Regardless of this right now, the most important thing is to escape quickly and take Li Hai as a hostage. After all, he is still Li Si's nephew, which is somewhat useful.
Bang bang bang...
Then there was a knock on the door.
Cao Xiuru was struck by lightning and froze on the spot.
"I'll open the door."
"Don't open the door, this is courtesy first and then attack!"
"???"
Qin Shihuang stared.
Do you suffer from persecution delusions?
If you really want to get him, it won't be so laborious. To deal with corrupt officials, we need all kinds of evidence. But to punish the rebels, all we need is a list. He didn't even know how to knock on the door when he started, but Qin Nu bow and arrow started to greet him dozens of steps away. How could he be so polite?
"Master, those people don't seem to have any ill intentions."
At this time, a minister came quickly.
The minister is not tall, but he is a secret sentry in the house.
"How to say?"
"They are all in formation, and the old man at the head has dismounted and came to the door, and knocked on the door himself."
"Forehead?"
Cao Xiu frowned.
"Look, I just said it's okay?"
"This is a cover-up!"
"..."
"..."
Qin Shihuang opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.
Cao Xiu’s brain circuit is really novel!
As long as he believes in something, it doesn't matter what others say.
"Young Master, I'm probably not here to arrest anyone." Zhou Bo also stood up at this time and whispered: "I have seen the Qin army encircle and suppress the rebels in Yingchuan City's father county before, and it will not be such a troublesome thing at all. 1 Thousands of armies surrounded them, and the crossbows and arrows attacked first, and then the heads rolled and blood flowed like rivers..."
"Xiao Su, go and open the door. Let's all step back first. If the situation goes bad, we can just go into the tunnel and escape."
"what about me?"
Fusu stared. He knew there was no danger, but he was deeply puzzled by what Cao Xiu did. Does this mean that he was sold and the others ran away?
"As the saying goes, Confucius said Cheng Ren, and Mencius said Qi Yi. The high mountains stand still, and the scenery stops. Even if there are thousands of troops outside the door, as long as you, Xiao Su, can sit up straight, what's the point of fear?"
"???"
"Pfft..."
Qin Shihuang really couldn't hold himself any longer.
Time flies!
Use magic to defeat magic!
High, really high!
In fact, Cao Xiu did it intentionally. Li Hai is the hostage here, and the others are his own people. If he was really caught, he would die. Only Su Zidu's identity was innocent, and he had only been here a few days. Even if he is captured, he probably won't be punished to death.
"All right……"
Fusu laughed at himself and walked forward.
At the same time, Cao Xiu led the people to retreat. The entrance to the tunnel has also been opened. As soon as he sees something is wrong, he will escape as quickly as possible. In terms of escape speed, he really has never surrendered to anyone.
Squeak...
The heavy wooden door slowly opened.
Standing at the door was an old man dressed in black brocade and wearing a jade crown. He is more than eight feet tall and carries a sword at his waist. He has a strong back and strong waist, and even though his silver hair is gray, he still has a terrifying temperament. The fierce tiger-like eyes exuded a faint murderous aura, making people dare not look into them. No need to think about it, this is definitely a fierce general who has killed countless people in his hands!
"Um?"
Wang Ben glanced at Fusu.
Why is the eldest son opening the door?
Although he had doubts, he didn't show it. In fact, it stands to reason that he should have arrived three days ago, but he was only delayed because he had to deal with the aftermath. Sishui County has now been completely unblocked, and it is claimed that the assassin has been caught. At the same time, Li Si and others will return to Xianyang immediately.
Of course, this is also deliberately spreading false news.
No matter what you say, the emperor is still in Peixian. Now that Rejuvenation has sneaked into the rebel base camp, he might be in danger, so he would naturally have to arrange for manpower to protect him. In addition, help was needed to handle government affairs, so Li Si also stayed.
"Who are you?"
Fusu's reaction was quite quick.
"Marquis Tongwu, Wang Ben!"
"Forehead?"
Cao Xiu walked out from behind without knowing why.
"The stingy husband in Fengyi is beautiful, and I have met Marquis Tongwu."
"We have met Marquis Tongwu!"
Zhou Bocao'er and others bowed one after another.
Cao Xiu looked at the old man in front of him and couldn't help but swallow. All he knew about Wang Ben came from history books, but he had never met him in person. This temperament cannot be compared to ordinary people, it is as sharp as a sword out of its sheath.
As Wang Jian's legitimate son, there is no doubt about Wang Ben's military ability. His ability to reach the rank of Marquis Che shows everything. In the Qin State, it was simply more difficult for a general to be granted the title of Marquis of Che than to ascend to heaven. Even if he had the merit of destroying the country, he would be the last to be granted the title of Marquis of Che.
"Are you Cao Xiu?"
"Exactly."
"I heard that Li Si mentioned something about you. I happened to pass by Peixian County and came to see the Qin officials who can make Prime Minister Zuo full of praise. I heard that you also have some millet wine in your hand. The aroma of the wine is clear and sweet, and it is far away. The wine of Sheng Palace.”
Depend on? !
Are you doing such a big fight just to get drunk?
Cao Xiu was also quite helpless. Before Li Hei left, he took away a lot of his fine wine, and even carried two jars of his old wine, which must have been used to show filial piety to Li Si. Then he showed off in front of Wang Ben, so people came over.
Wait...Wang Ben? !
Cao Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly.
He remembered that Dai Wangjia was captured by Wang Ben!
That is to say, Ah Zheng's identity is likely to be discovered. Cao Xiu swallowed and looked around. Only then did they realize that Azheng and Jian had disappeared, apparently escaping into the tunnel.
Holy shit? !
Cao Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Azheng and the others are smart!
If Wang Ben sees it, it will really be over!
If anyone doubts Azheng's identity again in the future, he will give them a double-mouthed look and see how self-conscious and cautious people are when they rebel against thieves. After seeing Wang Ben from a distance, he ran into the tunnel without his reminding him.
