On the official road, no more than a mile away from the large group of troops, a dozen Imperial Guardsmen rode forward slowly on horseback.
These are the dead soldiers of King Qin. Wherever there is danger, there will be their shadow.
Several black crows appeared on the big trees on both sides of the official road, staring coldly at the passing imperial troops.
The Imperial Guards on horseback looked at the crows and frowned slightly, waving their hands and shouting loudly to drive them away.
In their opinion, if there are crows in the passing trees, it means that the place is peaceful.
At least there won't be assassins hiding on the roadside, and no one has ever seen a crow get along peacefully with an assassin.
The crow on the tree screamed a few times at the imperial guards who were waving their hands, and then spread their wings and flew into the sky with a squawking sound.
It hovered in the air for a few times, and when the forbidden troops left, it flew back to the tree where it was before and screamed at the departing forbidden troops.
That look clearly shows that you are here to hit me, I am not afraid of you.
In the hearts of the Forbidden Army, these crows are always a symbol of abominable death, and no one is willing to provoke these guys.
The leader of the forbidden army on the horse shook his head and led his men forward slowly.
Behind him was King Qin who was protected by a large formation of forbidden troops. They did not need to march in a hurry at the moment.
Just keep searching forward at this speed and fulfill your responsibilities.
When the imperial army passed by, crows gathered in the straw under the tree. Zhang Liang was already like a stone, lying motionless in the soil, his breathing gradually slowing down.
Silently, I felt a dozen Imperial Guardsmen on war horses slowly leaving and heading forward.
He had remained in this state for more than an hour, no matter whether it was the occasional prick from the grass under his body or the strange look from the crow on the tree.
He was not allowed to move or raise his head until the Imperial Guards who explored the path slowly left the place.
It wasn't until the Imperial Guards were hundreds of feet away that Zhang Liang steadied his pounding chest and murmured, "We're finally here. The big guy is up to you."
Two miles away, in the same straw ditch next to the official road, there was no movement in the body of the burly mountain dragon boss, and there was no emotion on his rock-like cheeks.
Although there were no crows hovering above his head, the fighting spirit in his eyes seemed to burn everything that was coming to ashes, burning on the official road.
Next to him was a hammer tied with an iron chain. He couldn't hold it even if he stretched out his hand. One can imagine how heavy the weapon Zhang Liang customized was.
These days, he trains himself every day, training the same thing.
The first is how to maximize the lethality of swinging the hammer, and the second is to try to cover up the strong murderous aura in his body until he lies on the roadside, and even the crows don't bother to look at him.
Zhang Liangcai said with satisfaction: "Such a big man can be like a stone on the roadside, so that you can't feel the slightest murderous intention."
At this time, just as Zhang Liang expected, the big man turned himself into a silent stone.
A huge stone, waiting for a shocking moment.
The war horses roared, wrapped in the dust of the road.
Li Si on horseback said expressionlessly: "We left the imperial city and followed the king all the way to this place. I wonder what Master Zhao and Young Master Hai were thinking while hiding on the chariot?"
General Meng said calmly: "What are you thinking about? My young master Hai is thinking about the king's return to the court this time. I am afraid that Xu Fu will be sent out to sea soon to get the elixir. He is afraid that he wants to go with him..."
Li Si shook his head and said, "That's impossible."
General Meng laughed and said, "Young Master Hai wants to think about it, but Lord Zhao Gao will definitely not let him think about it."
Li Si looked slightly stern, wondering what happened to the young master Su who stayed in the imperial city. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: "With you and me, we should be able to block some wind and rain, right?"
Others couldn't understand what he said, but Meng Yi, as a general, understood it clearly.
Since he was loyal to the King of Qin and to Young Master Su, if the wind and rain in the world wanted to blow on Young Master Su's head, he would probably kill him with his sword.
Looking up at the road ahead, General Meng smiled slightly and said, "If the king knew that you and I were worrying about Young Master Su's future, would he scold us for meddling in other people's business?"
Li Si raised his eyebrows slightly and said quietly: "So what? If you don't make a decision and act, who can withstand the ups and downs in the future?"
General Meng sighed and said, "What you said makes me a little nervous now."
General Meng said: "You are the left prime minister and I am the general. There is some gap between us and Master Zhao in terms of strength and cultivation. After all, he is by the king's side all the time. Be careful what you say in the future."
Li Si was stunned when he heard this, and then said slowly: "The more we think about it, the more we worry. Let's not talk about these things for now. After all, who can really predict what will happen tomorrow?"
After thinking for a while, he continued: "The most important thing is that the king is in his prime. I'm afraid it's up to you and me to worry about these things."
General Meng fell silent for a moment.
Feeling that I was suddenly a little irritable, I couldn't help but look ahead and take a deep breath. Looking at the crows circling above my head, I felt an urge.
There is an urge to bend a bow and set an arrow, which is his instinct as a soldier.
Li Si didn't know that Meng Yi suddenly felt the danger coming.
He had been walking quietly for an hour on the horse. He wanted to rest on the chariot for a while, just like Zhao Gao, waiting to reach the end of the field before going to pay his respects to the king.
The big man hiding in the wasteland had already seen the large group of people and horses on the official road, as well as different chariots.
He was different from Zhang Liang. He was hiding in a tall pile of straw and could clearly see every move on the official road not far away.
What troubled him was how the promised six-horse chariot turned into two identical carriages. He didn't know which one was the King of Qin himself?
And he only has natural brute strength. Like Zhang Liang, the two of them don't have much advanced cultivation.
He couldn't communicate with his spiritual consciousness which carriage he was attacking.
And the last communication between the two was just waiting for him to set off a fire before rushing to the official road to complete his mission.
Similarly, Zhang Liang, who was hiding under the straw, felt a little impatient like Meng Yi.
According to the speed of the large group of people traveling on the official road, the big guy should set fire or launch an attack at this time.
Whether it was setting fire or attacking, the imperial troops on the official road would panic and make earth-shattering noises, and he was also waiting for that moment to come.
Shoot a few deadly iron arrows, set off a blazing fire, then turn around and run for your life.
Both of them were waiting, but Zhang Liang could not see what was happening on the official road.
Just as the big man was anxious to scold his mother, he now faced the final choice. In the absence of Zhang Liang, he should attack the chariot in front or the one behind.
Thinking over and over silently in his mind, the big boss Long poured kerosene on the big hammer beside him.
He had wrapped some rags around the 120-pound hammer in the morning, and could only pour kerosene on it. After a while, he ignited it, which saved him the effort of setting it on fire.
He knew that he only had one chance. No matter whether he succeeded or not, he would turn around and run for his life.
He knew that he could not wait any longer. If he let the two carriages leave from him, even if Zhang Liang appeared, he would not be able to change the situation.
So, the big man who transformed into a boulder quietly walked towards the official road with the straw on his head.
"Quack!" The crows circling in the sky suddenly shouted.
"Woooooo!" Suddenly a whirlwind rolled up in the wasteland, like a summer storm, sweeping away the large group of forbidden troops and chariots on the official road.
Before General Meng could recover, a whirlwind of flames came to the sky and rolled towards the forest army on the official road.
General Meng screamed loudly and shouted to Li Si: "Hurry and hide. The enemy is attacking. I will protect the king."
Let out a loud roar to warn the Imperial Guards around you that there is an enemy attack ahead. The Imperial Guards will naturally protect the king according to their respective responsibilities, or kill the enemy with their swords.
At the same time as General Meng's whistle sounded, the whirlwind on the official road was increasingly raging, carrying bursts of thick smoke across the official road that was more than two miles long.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Three arrows sounded in the wind, and then the sky was filled with beacon smoke again.
Zhang Liang, who was hiding under the official road, finally waited for the signal for the big guy to take action, regardless of whether the big guy hit the intended chariot or not.
He shot several life-threatening iron arrows according to the agreed plan. After all, Zhang Liang, who had the third level of energy gathering, was no longer the weak scholar he was before.
The sound of several arrows was hidden among the howling wind, the roar of the imperial guards, and the frightened roar of the war horses, making it impossible to hear them.
In the long queue, there were forbidden soldiers and horses that fell down after being struck by arrows. Even the forbidden soldiers, who had been well-trained in the past, also became panicked.
"Enemy attack! Protect the king!"
"Protect the king! Strike forward!" This shout was followed by a roar from General Meng, who turned his horse's head and tried to run towards the back.
However, the officialdom was already in chaos at this time, because no one knew where the enemy came from?
The Imperial Guards were well-trained, but the frightened horses were not. When the war horses saw the raging flames rolling towards them, how could they care about their masters?
After Zhang Liang lit the kerosene on the straw, he fired a dozen sharp iron arrows with all his strength. He didn't know how many war horses and forbidden troops passed by, but one or two of them flew in front of General Meng.
With a clang, it hit his black armor, making a harsh sound.
General Meng was so angry that he jumped off his horse, held his sword and ran towards King Qin's chariot!
Zhang Liang did not watch the big man's attack. Instead, after shooting all the iron arrows in his hand, he lowered his head and disappeared into the thick smoke, running wildly into the depths of the wasteland.
Because he knew that in less than a quarter of an hour, the frightened Imperial Army would come to their senses.
If the Forbidden Army who had come back to their senses were to search all the way, I'm afraid that neither I nor the big guy would be able to escape from the Forbidden Army's iron cavalry.
General Meng, who was running all the way, was tripped by the imperial army in front of him and fell heavily to the ground, like a mountain collapsing and throwing up countless smoke and dust.
He was so angry that he looked up to the sky and yelled: "Why are you standing there, go and protect the king!"
At the moment Zhang Liang shot the first fatal iron arrow.
The large hand that rushed in like a whirlwind waved the hammer in its hand, and the kerosene on the hammer instantly ignited the straw poured with kerosene.
The wind helped the fire and the thick smoke billowed, allowing him to approach King Qin's chariot at the fastest speed!
The body as burly as a mountain rushed towards the chariot drawn by six horses on the official road. Without a choice, he finally chose the chariot behind him.
The huge hammer was swung like a life-harvesting weapon, smashing the imperial army in front of them, and the spurting blood instantly filled the official road.
The clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and the crows in the sky screamed and dispersed in all directions. "Boom!" Finally, a foot thunder fell.
The hazy sky finally started to rain a moderate amount of spring rain.
However, this spring rain failed to extinguish the burning straw immediately. Instead, the smoke became even thicker and filled the official road.
With a violent fighting spirit, the big man roared and jumped into the air. The huge hammer spun twice in the air, and then with a blast of destructive force, it blasted towards the chariot pulled by six horses!
The power of the 120-pound hammer exceeded his imagination. In the eyes of the panicked Imperial Army, it turned into a hammer of death and flew toward the chariot where King Qin was sitting with a whining sound!
"Quack!" The crow, which had flown far away, let out a shrill cry.
