Everything is settled.
From the beginning of the assassination to the end, it only took about half an hour.
But the level of tragedy is not low at all.
Looking coldly at the mess around him, Tang Sui's face was as cold as ice.
"Clean the battlefield immediately and check if there are any survivors."
Wang Jian ordered to the soldiers in front of him.
The soldiers who were not injured quickly began to clean up the battlefield around them.
Except for Yin Yu and Gu Chang, all the attacking assassins had been killed.
Even some who did not die in the battle chose to commit suicide at the moment of retreat.
It is not difficult to see that these impermanent assassins are quite knowledgeable, after all, they specialize in doing this kind of thing.
During the Warring States Period, keeping retainers was very popular.
Later, Qin unified the six countries. In order to curb Qin's unification, the six countries cultivated various assassination organizations. Among them, the largest and most numerous was Wu Chang.
Later, when the unification of Qin was unstoppable, Wu Chang disappeared and few people could contact him.
Now, Wu Chang has come out to do evil again, which is enough to show that someone is using Wu Chang to try to subvert the rule of Qin.
"Old General, what should we do with these two assassin leaders?" Chen Ping came from a distance and pointed at Yin Yu and Gu Chang who were tied up tightly.
Wang Jian glanced at them lightly and said calmly: "Push them aside first and wait for the young master to come before making a decision!"
"promise!"
Chen Ping agreed, then glanced at Ying Zheng's tent and asked with worry: "Old General, how is your Majesty doing now?"
He asked this in front of those Qin army soldiers who didn't know why.
Because the people who just rushed into Ying Zheng's tent were all important officials of the imperial court. Soldiers like them who were loyal to the First Emperor and did not know the details of the First Emperor felt extremely uneasy inside.
Wang Jian glanced at Chen Ping and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, be safe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Sui strode over again, cupped his hands and said: "Report to the old general: the orders are clear, internal and external, and you dare to give the orders to the old general!"
"Dare you ask the old general to give an order!"
The soldiers and ministers outside Ying Zheng's tent responded in unison.
"Okay! I will issue an order for everyone to rest where they are immediately after the cleaning is completed!"
"promise!"
The crowd roared with thunder.
"General Tang Sui, the General of the Army, together with the doctors from the Daqin Medical Center, are taking care of Your Majesty in His Majesty's tent, waiting for the arrival of Young Master Hao. No one is allowed to enter without permission!"
Wang Jian's orders were calm and stern, with a chilling air, as if he were calm when facing thousands of troops.
Seeing Tang Sui and Chen Ping walking into Yingzheng's tent, Wang Jian continued to issue an order: "Chen Ping and Xia Wuji, the people responsible for supervising the Security Bureau, will cooperate with His Majesty's accompanying officials to immediately clean up His Majesty's camp, collect all memorials and documents, and keep them in order Seal it in a bookcase and move it to the carriage!"
All the soldiers and ministers know that this is the most important matter. His Majesty's arrangements for major affairs in the empire are almost all in those memorials and questionnaires. Naturally, they must be sorted out by people whom your Majesty trusts to work together to check each other and ensure that no accidents occur. "
Wang Jian's ability to come up with such a proper way to deal with the situation in times of crisis is enough to prove that he is public-spirited.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, the soldiers and ministers all nodded solemnly and watched Chen Ping and Xia Wuqie immediately lead the people into the First Emperor's camp.
Lift out the bookcases one by one...
But they probably never dreamed that their Emperor was in a bookcase somewhere.
"Iron Eagle Guard"
"Old General, the last general is incompetent. Please punish me, Old General!"
Wang Jian planned to continue giving the order, but he saw Yang Duanhe's face turning pale, stumbling and kneeling in front of him, begging for mercy in grief.
"General, get up quickly!"
Wang Jian, who reached out to help Yang Duanhe, could already see the scarlet injuries on Yang Duanhe's body and the blood left at the corner of his mouth.
Although he didn't see Yang Duanhe's fighting situation in the camp just now, it was not difficult to analyze Yang Duanhe's loyalty to protect Ying Zheng to the death.
Facing the enemy's well-prepared sneak attack, Yang Duanhe was already very powerful for being able to do this.
There were roars and shouts to kill, which also proved how intense the fighting just now was.
Wang Jian naturally knew about Yang Duanhe's bravery.
Being able to make Yang Duanhe become what he is now is enough to show how strong the other party is.
“If General Yang hadn’t been so loyal and committed to protect His Majesty to the death, I’m afraid the camp would have been destroyed when we came.
As for Zhao Cheng, it’s purely because we know people and faces but don’t know hearts. His Majesty is still too kind! "
Wang Jian said helplessly.
"Old General, please don't say that. Yang Duanhe went south this time to welcome His Majesty back to Xianyang. Unexpectedly, Zhao Cheng came with the general. The general has an unshirkable responsibility. Please invite the old general. Punishment!"
Wang Jian shook his head and helped Wang Yang Duanhe up again: "The general risked his life to protect your majesty. The thieves are well prepared. How can you blame the general?"
Although this matter had been planned from the beginning to be hidden from Yang Duanhe, Wang Jian still couldn't bear to see Yang Duanhe like this. He comforted him softly: "This matter should not be made public. If you really want to If you bear a thorn and plead guilty, why don't you send His Majesty back to Xianyang safely?"
"this"
Yang Duanhe was slightly startled, but then realized that there were still only a few people who knew that Ying Zheng was dead.
If Ying Zheng cannot be sent back to Xianyang safely, it may cause shock throughout the country and even lead to a coup. By then, his sin will be even greater.
"Wu Chenghou, General Yang, the battlefield has been cleared. A total of more than 130 assassins were wiped out in this battle, 40 of whom were from the Central Plains, and the rest were from Yue. Our army suffered more than 80 casualties, including three Langs. Officer, five hundred generals were killed."
The soldiers who had cleared the battlefield came to Wang Jian and reported respectfully.
"Understood, immediately cremate the fallen soldiers on the spot, take their ashes back to Xianyang, and give them to their families for a good burial!"
"in addition."
With that said, Wang Jian once again set his sights on Yang Duanhe and said solemnly: "General Yang, please immediately register the soldiers, officials and everyone in the camp to ensure that no assassins mix in our camp and attack again! "
"As you command!"
Yang Duanhe, who was still hesitant, no longer hesitated after hearing Wang Jian's order, and immediately accepted it.
After watching Yang Duanhe leave, Wang Jian stood alone in the bright moonlight night, staring at the bright-eyed ministers and soldiers in front of him, his legs could not help but tremble.
Although he knew this was false, if the First Emperor really died suddenly and someone arranged Ying Zheng's aftermath like he did, he simply couldn't imagine how terrible the outcome would be.
Moreover, he knew very well that the person responsible for this important task could not be anyone else but Li Si, whom the First Emperor had always trusted.
For the first time, I clearly felt the mountainous weight of the word 'power'.
It was at this moment that Wang Jian suddenly understood the reason why Li Si betrayed the First Emperor.
Because Wang Jian deeply knew how important the role Li Si played in the more than thirty years of the First Emperor's power career, and it was impossible for Li Si, who had been influenced by power for more than thirty years, to let go of this kind of power. .
Like the First Emperor, he had his own ambitions and wanted to be remembered in history and establish his own achievements.
After the death of the First Emperor, there were few people who could support him in establishing his own achievements.
Therefore, he will definitely find a way to monopolize power and become the next Lu Buwei.
Nor would he believe that the next Emperor Shihuang would appear.
Li Si, Li Si, do you really want to do this? Can you afford it?
As one of the important figures who jointly established the Qin Empire, Li Si and Wang Jian had too many untold stories. From the bottom of his heart, Wang Jian really didn't want Li Si to make a mistake and regret it for the rest of his life.
However, from a strategic point of view, if Li Si really takes that step, he must stop Li Si for the future of the empire.
Even though this strategy seemed a bit despicable to him, he still cooperated well with it.
at the same time.
Zhao Hao's carriage was galloping crazily under the moonlight, surprising the birds flying all the way.
"Brother Haohao, will your father be okay?"
Gong Ziliang looked at the livid Zhao Hao and asked with a trembling voice.
He was still frightened by the words 'hurry to the audience' just now.
If something big hadn't happened to Ying Zheng, it would have been impossible to summon Zhao Hao with these four words.
Because in his heart, Zhao Hao is the best person to solve the crisis.
It seems that there is no crisis in this world that my brother Hao cannot solve.
However, now that he heard Ying Zheng summoning Zhao Hao quickly, it was hard not to think of something bad.
"Brother Ninth, don't worry. My father will be fine. The Yue people in the South China Sea have been wiped out by us. Even the Yue people in Minyue and South Vietnam are at the end of their game and will not pose a threat to my father at all!"
Zhao Hao forced a smile on his face and softly comforted Young Master Liangdao.
"But wasn't my father attacked by assassins that night when he set out? Moreover, he was injured. Could it be that he was assassinated again?" Young Master Ronglu also said with a worried look on his face.
Zhao Hao glanced at him, then at Young Master Jiang Lu who was about to speak, shook his head and said, "It's hard to talk about this!"
"Think about it, my father has been assassinated so many times, and every time he has been able to turn the danger into a blessing, and there are General Tang Sui, Old General, General Yang and others beside him, how can anything happen to him?"
"Although you say that, we are still quite worried about your father's safety," Young Master Jiang Lu said gloomily.
Zhao Hao sighed helplessly and said: "What's the use of worrying anymore? We don't have wings, so we can't fly there, right?"
Fly over?
When the three brothers heard this, their eyes flashed.
Young Master Liangyi slapped his thigh: "Yes!"
"???"
"Brother Hao, how about we fly there in a hot air balloon?"
"Are you crazy?! It's night now. Do you know how dangerous it is to ride in a hot air balloon at night? Moreover, it rained just now and the wind direction is extremely unstable. If there is a southeasterly wind, wouldn't we turn back again?"
"this"
Young Master Liang was speechless, and then he looked at Young Master Gao and Young Master Ronglu.
The two looked at each other and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
In fact, they just thought the same thing as Gong Ziliang.
"Okay, don't worry about what's available and what's not. This four-wheeled carriage is very fast, not much worse than a hot air balloon. It should be here soon!"
With that said, Zhao Hao ignored the three brothers and quietly closed his eyes.
In fact, he knew Ying Zheng's situation well, but he couldn't show the slightest difference.
Otherwise, the previously designed strategy could easily be messed up by these three brothers.
After all, when he returns to Xianyang, he still needs these three brothers to cooperate with him to realize the fact that Ying Zheng is dead.
"Sir, there seems to be something going on ahead!"
"Um?"
Just when Zhao Hao closed his eyes for a moment, Wu Ya, who was riding a horse outside, reminded him in a deep voice.
"what's the situation?"
Zhao Hao opened his eyes and asked.
"There was a light and it looked like a lighted carriage."
"Lighted carriage?"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and sneered: "It seems that their intentions are not small."
"What should we do now?"
"Since others are waiting for me, I naturally want to play with him, so stop it first!"
"yes!"
Wuya responded casually and immediately ordered the convoy to stop.
At this time, the pungent smell of smoke wafted in the air, and they had already put on special anti-virus masks.
This kind of mask is different from the gas masks of later generations. It is a mask frame woven with rattan and filled with rags, charcoal, and herbs as anti-gas equipment.
"Brother, how many enemies are there?"
Zhao Hao, who was sitting in the carriage and holding a musket, asked Wu Ya calmly.
"One, but it seems to be more difficult than the enemies we have encountered before. How about you go first, sir?"
Wuya holds a sword in one hand and a gun in the other. He has learned how to use the two weapons together.
"He must be very confident when he dares to face us alone. I'm afraid we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
"What are you afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Ziliang said a little unconvinced, "No matter how fast the sword is, can it be as fast as the rifle in our hands?"
"That's right, Brother Hao always says, have times changed? Just assassins are afraid of what he will do!"
Young Master Ronglu also echoed with disdain, and at the same time, he reached out and touched the Mini rifle in his hand.
Obviously, he also used the latest weapons developed by Da Qin.
And, I can’t put it down.
"I think it's better not to underestimate the enemy, otherwise"
The young master was about to say a few words when he suddenly heard Wu Ya remind him from outside the car: "Here he comes!"
"kill!"
A hundred generals standing in front heard a series of horse hooves while shouting, and the black shadow came as fast as lightning.
In the thick smoke ahead, a shadow suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the hundred generals.
It was a huge figure, but it ran like a crazy war horse.
Baijiang was about to slash with his sword, but the opponent actually used his body to catch him.
The long sword struck the solid copper shield, was squeezed by the huge impact, and broke every inch.
The opponent's remaining power was endless, and he collided with Baijiang and Baijiang's horse, pressing the broken sword into the bodies of Baijiang and Baijiang.
Before the soldiers guarding the front had time to react, the black figure had already broken through their defenses and rushed towards Zhao Hao's carriage.
The cavalry following behind were also knocked out of the way by the shadow.
Zhao Hao and others quickly left the carriage at Wuya's reminder, and at a glance they saw the lightning-fast black figure approaching at a rapid pace.
"Shoot! Stop him!"
Zhao Hao yelled with all his strength. He was glad that he had placed a group of musketeers in the convoy before setting off. Otherwise, with this man's force, it would be difficult for him to resist.
I saw the musketeers waiting beside the carriage quickly setting up their muskets, raising their muskets in an orderly manner, pointing them forward, and triggering the flight.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang"
