"Assassin? What's going on? Why is there an assassin at this time?"
Xing Xing, who was hiding in the cupboard, groaned in his heart. This is called a wolf in front and a tiger behind. Fortunately, the assassin was not him, otherwise it would be hard to say if he would be caught.
Although when he arrived, he was mentally prepared to be wrongly accused of being an assassin by Zhao Hao, but with Yang Duanhe helping him confirm the case, he didn't take it to heart.
But now, there were really assassins coming in from outside, which still made him somewhat worried.
After all, swords have no eyes. What if you are regarded as an assassin's accomplice?
After thinking about it, Zhao Cheng decided to stay in the cabinet and wait until there was no movement outside before going out.
At the same time, the guards outside were cursing and chasing the assassin.
No one expected that there would be assassins in this shogunate.
"What should I do? Deputy Zhao hasn't come out yet. Should we continue to wait for him?"
The man in black who had just come with Zhao Cheng also heard the yelling and cursing inside, and couldn't help but look worried.
At this time, the man in black named Qin Yi said: "How about I go in and take a look, and you guys go out first?"
"Are you crazy? We are arresting assassins inside. What if you are caught?"
"It's okay. Deputy Zhao told me before he came. If we are framed as assassins, just say that General Yang sent us. They will definitely go to General Yang for confirmation. Then we will be saved!" Qin Yi He replied confidently.
The other men in black looked at each other, hesitated slightly, and finally agreed to Qin Yi.
Soon, Qin Yi disappeared under the wooden foundation of the building.
At this moment, shouts continued to come from around.
"Catch him! Catch that stupid assassin!"
"How dare you stab your Majesty! I will kill him!"
"Damn it! Where are the people? Where are the people?"
Qin Yi sneaked into an unoccupied room on the second floor and looked at the guards chasing the assassin through the gap, with a mocking smile on his lips.
With all this stuff, you can't even find it yourself, but you still want to arrest the assassin? What a bunch of idiots!
Feeling proud, he was about to turn around and leave when he met a strong man in black.
He was startled, but not panicked.
With just one strike, the strong man in black would be dismembered and unable to even make a sound.
He is a master among masters.
Ordinary people are not their opponents at all.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, the strong man in black reached out and held down his arm.
He pulled hard but it didn't move.
He pulled it out hard again, but it still didn't move.
A hint of panic finally appeared in Qin Yi's eyes, and he raised his head and looked at the other party blankly.
For a moment, in the dimly lit room, the two people stared at each other, speechless.
After a long time, I heard the strong man in black say in a deep voice: "Good brother, are you also here to assassinate the First Emperor?"
"Um?"
Qin Yi was surprised, thinking that the assassin captured outside was actually this guy? No wonder it’s so difficult to catch, he turns out to be a master!
No, I must not be tough with him to avoid exposing my identity.
"Yes, you are also here to assassinate the First Emperor?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.
As the saying goes, if you can't beat him, join him. Anyway, you are not a real assassin. You can only get rid of him first before you can go to Deputy Ambassador Zhao.
"It turns out he is one of our own!"
The strong man in black breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice: "I was ordered by the Zhao government to assassinate the First Emperor to satisfy the hatred in my heart!"
"Zhao Fu Ling?"
Qin Yi was overjoyed and lowered his voice and said: "I am a subordinate of Zhao Cheng, the brother of Zhao Fuling!"
"Oh? What a good brother!"
The strong man in black also said happily: "Good brother, I came here alone. I am worried that there are not enough manpower. How many brothers do we have? Are we enough?"
Qin Yi said confidently: "Don't worry, there are many like me, and there are six of them who sneaked in."
After hearing this, the strong man in black was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right, that's right. Take me to meet your people quickly. Let's discuss it in the long run!"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yi shook his head and refused: "That can't be done. Deputy Zhao had previously ordered us not to act rashly and wait until the truth is found out before taking action;
Moreover, Deputy Zhao is here tonight, he should be upstairs! "
"Oh? Zhao Cheng is here too?"
The strong man in black was also a little surprised.
"Yes, I just went to pick him up!"
Qin Yi nodded with a smile, and suddenly felt that the movement outside was quieter. He couldn't help but turn around and saw that the guards were chasing outside. He said hurriedly: "Quick! Don't delay, go upstairs to meet Deputy Zhao!"
"okay!"
After saying that, the strong man in black followed Qin Yi out of the room.
At this time, the corridor was silent, not even a single figure.
Qin Yi secretly thought that all the guards here should have gone to catch the assassins, so he raised his hand and made gestures in his mouth, making a very natural bird sound.
"this"
The strong man in black looked at Qin Yi in surprise.
Qin Yi smiled, said nothing, and made a few more bird calls.
At this moment, Zhao Cheng, who was hiding in the cupboard, was shivering from the cold and drowsy. He was suddenly awakened by the chirping of birds. He couldn't help but look excited: "It's Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi is here to pick me up!"
Without any time to hesitate, Zhao Cheng immediately opened the cabinet, rushed out, and soon came to the door. Through the crack in the door, he saw Qin Yi squatting in the corner, imitating bird calls over and over again.
"Xiao Yi, I'm here."
Zhao Cheng called in a low voice, and Qin Yi suddenly became happy, opened the door decisively, and walked in.
"Deputy Ambassador Zhao, everyone is going to catch the assassin. Let's leave quickly!"
The first time Qin Yi saw Zhao Cheng, he urged him to follow him.
However, Zhao Cheng's eyes suddenly fell on the strong man in black behind him, and he asked warily: "Who is he?"
"he?"
Qin Yi reacted and said with a smile: "He is the assassin sent by Zhao Fuling."
After saying that, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He frowned and said, "Hey, good brother, why are you still holding on to me? Why are you so strong? Let go, let's run away together!"
"Run away?"
The strong man in black sneered and ignored him, using his hands harder and harder.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! It hurts, it hurts, you bitch is so energetic!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! My arm is broken, stop it, good brother"
Qin Yi felt like he was in trouble at this moment. The good brother behind him seemed to be having trouble with his brain! Why are you holding on to yourself and not letting go, even harder and harder?
"No! You are not sent by my brother! Who are you!"
Zhao Cheng sensed something was wrong immediately, and immediately took two steps back and glared at the strong man in black.
The strong man in black showed his white teeth and said with a full smile: "I am your father. How come my dear grandson doesn't even recognize your father?"
"You lied to me! You are not one of ours!"
Qin Yi also reacted instantly and wanted to break free. However, before he could break free, he was kicked to the ground by the strong man in black.
He suddenly felt as if he had been hit head-on by a war horse.
The terrifying brute force almost broke all his ribs.
Severe pain came like a tide, causing him to open his mouth wide, as if he was hooked on a dark catfish, and breathed heavily.
The strong man in black ignored him and went straight to Zhao Cheng: "If you are sensible, follow me to see the young master, otherwise you will suffer a lot!"
"you!"
Zhao Cheng's pupils shrank, secretly thinking something was wrong, but he scolded the strong man in black without fear: "Why do you arrest me? I am the envoy from Xianyang!"
"The envoy from Xianyang who assassinated His Majesty will be punished with an additional penalty!"
"You're talking nonsense, I didn't assassinate His Majesty at all."
"Bang——!"
Before Zhao Cheng could finish his words, the strong man in black kicked him. Zhao Cheng flew to the ground and spat out blood with a loud sound.
"Tell me! Where is the antidote? Otherwise, I will cut you into pieces!"
Unprecedented pain hit his whole body in an instant, causing Zhao Cheng to break out in a cold sweat and tremblingly said: "I did not assassinate Your Majesty or poison him. I was wronged."
"Okay! You're quite tough! You didn't say anything!"
The strong man in black gritted his teeth, grabbed Zhao Cheng, and dragged him out like a dead dog. Then he grabbed the half-dead Qin Yi on the ground and walked towards Ying Zheng's room.
"Sir, the assassin has been caught!"
"I know, bring it in!"
"promise!"
The strong man in black agreed and grabbed Zhao Cheng and Qin Yi into the room.
At this time, Zhao Hao was sitting on the chair with a very ugly face. He glanced at Zhao Cheng and Zhao coldly and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, where is the antidote?"
"Antide? What antidote?"
"Hmph! You're quite tough! Come here! I'll serve you with a heavy punishment!"
"No! Don't."
Zhao Cheng was startled and quickly changed his words: "We were sent by General Yang! You can ask General Yang!"
"General Yang?"
Zhao Hao frowned and said coldly: "Is this related to Yang Duanhe?"
"We told General Yang before we came!" Zhao Cheng nodded.
"good!"
Zhao Hao was not afraid that he would mention Yang Duanhe, but was afraid that he would not mention it. He immediately shouted out the door: "Chen Ping, go and ask General Yang to come over!"
"promise!"
Chen Ping, who was outside the door, made a promise, turned around and left the room.
At this time, Ying Zheng's weak voice came from the room: "Hao'er, Hao'er cough, cough, cough."
"Father! Father, what's wrong with you!"
When Zhao Hao heard Ying Zheng's voice, his eyes suddenly turned red. Without any time to hesitate, he walked towards the room.
At this time, Zhao Cheng and Qin Yi looked at each other, thinking that His Majesty is here!
The room they were hiding in was only a few steps away from this room. Why didn't they notice any movement in this room?
Could this be all a trap designed by Zhao Hao?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Cheng's eyes froze slightly, and then he glanced at Qin Yi. However, just when Qin Yi was about to take action, the strong man in black next to him came over and said angrily: " I really think your uncle is blind! Be honest!"
"No, good brother, I just need to pee."
"Who is your good brother! Sir, I am Guan Ying, your Majesty's personal title of Iron Eagle Lieutenant General!"
"Ah? This"
Qin Yi was speechless, thinking that no wonder this guy was so powerful, he turned out to be the commander of His Majesty's bodyguards!
However, this guy just said that he was an assassin. He was obviously lying to himself. The assassin did not exist at all. Why was Your Majesty injured?
And listening to His Majesty's feeble voice, it seems that he is not seriously injured!
What is going on?
Just when Qin Yi and Zhao Cheng were confused, Chen Ping led Yang Duan and rushed straight to the small building and quickly arrived at the door of the room.
"Sir, General Yang is here!"
"Let him in! My father wants to see him!"
"promise!"
Chen Ping made a promise and raised his hand to signal Yang Duanhe to come in.
Yang Duanhe saw Zhao Cheng at the first sight when he entered the door, and Zhao Cheng also saw him at the same time: "General Yang, save me, do you know whether I am?"
"Shut up!"
Yang Duanhe's face was livid and he had no time to care about Zhao Cheng. He shouted angrily and walked to Ying Zheng's bed in three steps.
"His Majesty--!"
When Yang Duanhe saw that Ying Zheng's face was pale and his lips were completely bloodless, his eyes turned red and he burst into tears.
"Duanhe."
Ying Zheng wriggled his lips with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, what's going on!" Yang Duanhe was in front of the couch, and big tears fell on Ying Zheng's arm.
Ying Zheng tried his best to smile: "I don't know what happened. I was shot with an arrow just as I fell asleep. Originally, I planned to go back to Xianyang with you. It seems that someone doesn't want me to go back, cough cough cough."
"What!?"
Yang Duanhe's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he angrily scolded Zhao Hao next to him: "How dare you, Mr. Hao, dare to assassinate His Majesty and prevent His Majesty from returning to the capital!"
"."
Zhao Hao was speechless and glanced over with a cold look.
At this time, Xia Wuji stood up and said with a straight face: "General Yang's words are ridiculous. The young master is your majesty's favorite son. How could he harm your majesty? If the young master hadn't risked his life to save him, I'm afraid you will see it now Not your Majesty!"
"this"
Yang Duanhe was startled, then looked at the rest of the people, and found that they all looked unhappy, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
But Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "General Yang, I have never seen a scene where a thief shouts to catch a thief, but this is the first time I have seen such a shameless person like you!"
"What do you mean, Master?" Yang Duanhe frowned in confusion.
"what for?"
Zhao Hao sneered and said: "Zhao Cheng has already recruited them just now. You sent them here. They are the only ones here tonight when my father was assassinated. What do you mean?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It is impossible for Zhao Cheng and others to assassinate His Majesty!"
"Oh? Why is General Yang so sure?"
"Because Zhao Cheng told me before he came that he would investigate His Majesty's situation tonight and confirm His Majesty's safety. It is impossible to assassinate Your Majesty!" Yang Duanhe explained.
"I promised you when you came here that I would see my father tomorrow. Why do you come here to investigate tonight?" Zhao Hao said expressionlessly.
"this"
Yang Duanhe was at a loss for words. You can't secretly say that we don't believe you, right?
At this moment, Xia Wuji reminded again: "Sir, the top priority now is to remove the poison from your majesty's body, not to find out who assassinated your majesty!"
"Oh yes!"
Zhao Hao reacted, slapped his forehead, and shouted: "Have your people hand over the antidote!"
"What antidote?"
Yang Duanhe looked confused.
Zhao Hao's face darkened: "This is the antidote for Zhao Cheng to assassinate my father!"
"Zhao Cheng doesn't have it"
Yang Duanhe was about to defend himself when he suddenly saw the look Ying Zheng was looking at. His heart moved and he spat hard on the ground: "Okay! I'll ask him for the antidote right now!"
