"Don't worry about Qindu, I will keep an eye on you, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide the news that you went to Ruyang County."
Qin Heng retracted his thoughts, looked up at Liu Ji's solemn expression, and thanked him softly: "Then I'll help my grandfather."
"As for my going to Ruyang County, grandpa doesn't have to worry, Heng'er has his own way to deal with it." As he spoke, a confident smile appeared on his face.
When Liu Ji heard this, he looked at him deeply and didn't ask any more questions. He was becoming more and more unpredictable about his grandson.
Sometimes I wonder how my daughter, who has always been virtuous, gave birth to such a deep-tempered son.
Sure enough, there is no mediocrity in the royal family.
Next, Qin Heng stayed for a while, then declined Liu Ji's offer to stay and said goodbye.
Time is running out now, and he still has a lot of time to arrange.
Back at the house, Qin Heng called Zhang Long to the study.
Qin Heng said nothing, sitting in his wheelchair and looking at the dim sky outside the window with blurred eyes.
Zhang Long stood respectfully behind him without making a sound.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the study became a little solemn.
"Have the arrangements been made?"
Qin Heng's cold voice suddenly sounded.
Zhang Long's face straightened and he quickly replied in a low voice: "It's ready."
"Start in a month. Remember, there must be no accidents in this matter."
"Tell him that if you want to make things bigger, some people can die if necessary, but..."
Qin Heng paused, turned his wheelchair, stared at Zhang Long deeply, and said in a cold tone: "There must be no mistakes."
Zhang Long trembled in his heart and nodded with a serious expression: "I understand."
"Well, let's get down." Qin Heng waved his hand and then slid his wheelchair towards the desk.
"No." Zhang Long retreated quietly.
The next day, Emperor Qin summoned Qin Heng to follow Li Yan into the palace again.
Qin Heng entered Qinfang Palace and glanced around. In addition to his father, there was also a middle-aged armored guard standing in the palace.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
"Get up." Emperor Qin said kindly with a smile.
"Thank you, father." Qin Heng sat up straight and looked at his father with doubtful eyes. He didn't know why he was called here today.
Emperor Qin noticed his gaze and said directly: "On this trip to Lishan, my father will send thirty dragon guards and two teams of Qin guards to protect you. In addition, there will be an imperial physician accompanying you."
As he said that, Emperor Qin pointed at the middle-aged man, "He is Long Yi, the royal servant of my father, and the commander of the Dragon Guard. He will take you into Lishan this time."
Qin Heng's eyes moved. This was the first time he saw his father's clan servant, and it was also the first time he heard the word Longwei. He had never heard of the title Longwei in the army of Great Qin.
Is this a secret force?
In fact, Qin Heng's guess was good. Longwei was a secret organization of the Qin Dynasty that had existed since the founding of the Qin Dynasty.
This secret organization only obeys the emperors of the past dynasties. The number is unknown, but each one is powerful and ruthless. It integrates assassination, guarding, and intelligence collection.
It can be said that they are the shadows of the previous Qin emperors and the hidden forces of the royal family.
Qin Heng turned around and saw that this man had a stern face, was wearing black armor, and had a long black sword on his waist.
For some reason, Qin Heng looked at this person and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if it was an instinctive reaction of his body.
"Meet King Xiaoxian."
Long Yi turned around, bowed his hands, and his voice was calm, as if there was no emotion.
"I've met Commander Long." Qin Heng quickly returned the salute without exaggerating.
Not to mention anything else, he didn't dare to neglect the fact that he was his father's clan servant.
To put it bluntly, in my father's heart, he may trust this Long Yi more than the other princes.
"On this trip to Lishan, all matters will be directed by Long Yi. Remember not to be willful."
Qin Huang's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Qin Heng turned his head. The expression on his father's face looked a little serious. It seemed that this was not just an instruction between father and son, but more like an order.
Qin Heng's heart trembled, knowing that he would have to obey Long Yi's arrangements along the way. He didn't dare to say anything and nodded and said, "Yes, Father."
Upon seeing this, Emperor Qin's expression changed instantly and returned to the look of a loving father. A smile appeared on his lips and he said, "Go say goodbye to your mother and concubine. This trip to Ruyang County should be treated as a relaxing trip. Your mother Don’t tell the concubine, so as not to worry.”
"My son, I know." For some reason, today's conversation made him feel strange in his heart.
After leaving Qinfang Palace, Qin Heng came to Qinxian Palace under the leadership of Zhao Gan.
Sure enough, when Qin Heng mentioned that he wanted to visit Ruyang County, Liu Yu strongly opposed it.
Ruyang County is far away, more than a thousand miles away from the capital of Qin. Coupled with the inconvenience of his legs, Liu Yu is naturally worried.
In the end, it was Qin Heng who repeatedly begged and even moved out of Qinhuang before he agreed to go.
Qin Heng stayed until the afternoon, took a letter from the beauty Ma Rong, and left the palace under Liu Yu's reluctant eyes.
But he didn't know that on that day, news came from the palace that King Xiaoxian was going to Ruyang County to visit Qin Cheng.
In the early morning of this day, Long Yi came to the house with a group of Qin guards.
When Qin Heng walked outside the house, he was a little surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.
The accompanying imperial physician was none other than his old acquaintance, Imperial Physician Xu.
"Meet King Xiaoxian." Doctor Xu noticed his gaze and quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Mr. Xu is so polite. You have to work hard on this journey." Qin Heng said in an easy-going tone. It would be better if it was Dr. Xu. The two of them are familiar with each other and understand his physical condition better.
"Your Highness, you're welcome. This is a matter within my duty." Doctor Xu replied humbly.
To be honest, he really didn’t want to go to Lishan. He had old arms and legs. He might as well leave it there. But Emperor Qin personally ordered him to accompany him, so he had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, he and his wife had a good time last night. Sue someone.
Qin Heng said nothing and turned to look at the Qin Wei army.
This Qin Wei army is all black-armored cavalry, numbering about two hundred. In the military system of the Qin Dynasty, there were five troops, two Wu Shi, Wu Shi's Tun, two Tun's, five teams' troops, five troops' schools, and two schools' troops.
As far as he knew, the cavalry was the most elite force in the Qin Dynasty.
Today's war horses have no stirrups or horseshoes at all, only a simple saddle.
This requires extremely high physical fitness for cavalry and war horses. It can be said that for these people, getting on the horse is for riding, dismounting for walking, and getting on the car is for driving.
Just these people can easily kill several times the enemy. Because of this, the status of cavalry is generally higher than that of infantry.
However, Qin Heng had some doubts in his heart. He scanned around and couldn't see where the thirty dragon guards were.
