Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 84 The First Emperor is angry! I won’t kill you, and I can’t let you go!

In the imperial camp, in the big tent.

Ying Zheng walked to the tent door, looked up at the sun that was already setting in the west, and felt increasingly irritable in his heart.

Yuan Man and the officials accompanying him stood on both sides of the tent with their heads lowered, looking ugly as well.

A knight came back earlier and conveyed a message from Wang Bi and Fu Su, saying that the two children of the Gongsun family were indeed kidnapped by the rebels. Qin Mo and Yu Ji led the Huotou Army to fight with them, killing the rebels and fleeing.

However, during the pursuit, the Huotou Army was blocked by the rebels who sacrificed their lives. Only Qin Mo and Yu Ji broke through the obstruction and went to pursue the remaining rebels.

Now more than half a day has passed, but there is no news that Qin Mo has disappeared, and everyone has a vague feeling of uncertainty in their hearts!

Tap tap tap——

The knight with the flag on his back galloped all the way to the tent, jumped off his horse and ran into the tent, crossed his hands and said urgently to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the two children who were kidnapped by the rebels have been rescued...

"

"good!"

Ying Zheng looked happy, nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

Yuan Man and Baiguan also looked slightly calmer.

The atmosphere in the tent was relaxed, but the knight continued to speak urgently: "The visitor Yu brought the two children back, but Prime Minister Qin did not return, but stayed behind because the rebels had reinforcements from their accomplices...

"

"Um???"

Ying Zheng Danfeng's eyes suddenly widened, and the joy on his face froze.

The hearts that Yuan Man and Bai Guan had just put back in their stomachs suddenly brought it up again.

"The visitor Yu Yan said that when she returned with her two children, the traitors gathered together with more than a hundred accomplices, and Prime Minister Qin had no choice but to stay behind."

"The Crown Prince and Marquis Tongwu led their troops to support them, but they only found dozens of corpses of rebels and Prime Minister Qin's white horse... but Prime Minister Qin was not seen..."

The knight ignored the suddenly oppressive atmosphere in the tent and explained the situation clearly in one breath.

What everyone was worried about finally happened!

Choking——

Detective Ying Zheng pulled out his sword, his eyes full of violence: "Traitor! Rebel! How dare you? How dare you?!"

When all the officials saw him losing his composure and felt sorry for Qin Mo, they all felt secretly frightened.

The last time Ying Zheng was so angry and mad was ten years ago.

That was because Lao Ai rebelled, and Ying Zheng drove his mother, the Queen Mother Zhao, out of Xianyang and moved to Yongdi to live in the palace.

At that time, the number of people who died in Ying Zheng’s rage was directly counted in the tens of thousands!

This time, I don’t know how many heads will fall to the ground...

When Ying Zheng was furious and all the officials were frightened, Yuan Man looked at the knight with red eyes and asked: "The Prime Minister of Qin has not been found... In other words, the life or death of the Prime Minister of Qin has not been determined yet?"

The knight was stunned, and hurriedly clasped his hands and said: "When the general rushed back, the visitor Yu said that the rebels highly respected the Prime Minister of Qin and wanted to win over the Prime Minister of Qin, conspire with him to restore, and return power to the kings..."

The knight repeated Yu Ji's words and reconstructed the conversation between Qin Mo and Zhang Liang to everyone in the tent.

Finally, he said: "The Prime Minister of Qin does not want to conspire with him, but the traitors of his generation are delusional. They probably kidnapped Prime Minister Qin and want him to surrender!"

Ying Zheng was shocked. He turned to look at Zhao Gao and issued an order: "Quickly pass on my edict to mobilize the garrison troops from Yingchuan County, Sishui County, Xing County, and Chen County. Regular soldiers, including Geng soldiers."

"We are ordered to seal off a three-hundred-mile radius and search every inch of it. If we encounter any human beings, we will capture them alive. No one will escape!"

These four counties are located around the Imperial Palace, so they can mobilize men and horses in time.

But such a large-scale war almost dragged out all the men from the four counties. All the officials looked at each other, hesitating whether to give advice or not.

But before they could speak, Ying Zheng said ferociously: "In addition, order Jiujiang County, Kuaiji County, Zhang County, Hengshan County, Nan County, Changsha County..."

"We are ordered to guard and guard Qin Qing's whereabouts strictly and not to let anyone enter the land of Baiyue."

"The imperial censor and the Jin Yiwei supervise each county. If anyone escapes and enters Baiyue, all the officials in the county, from the county guard to the pavilion chief, will be killed!"

The officials opened their mouths and quickly closed them again. The words of advice on their lips were swallowed back into their stomachs.

Ying Zheng has become cruel and will not give up until Qin Mo is found.

All the officials also knew the importance. In fact, they wanted to find Qin Mo more than Ying Zheng. After all, without Qin Mo, there would be no one in the court to protect them from the wind and rain. They would never have a good life when facing Ying Zheng.

At this time, although Ying Zheng became ruthless, at least he did not kill people indiscriminately, and that was enough!

When all the officials gave advice, they were not only at odds with Ying Zheng, but also with themselves.

Even, it is difficult to get along with the people!

After all, Qin Mo, the prime minister, has always promoted benevolent policies, and the beneficiaries are the people.

Now that Qin Mo has been kidnapped by rebels, it is their turn to help find him, so it is not unacceptable to transfer men from four counties!

"Once again, I will reward anyone who can rescue Qin Qin with the title of Marquis in Guan Nei, ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand cattle and sheep, and fertile land..."

Ying Zheng stopped Zhao Gao, who was about to go out to deliver orders, and issued another edict. The reward was so grand and generous that it made all officials breathe.

"Here!"

Zhao Gao clasped his hands and walked away quickly.

…

…

Qin Mo was indeed not dead at this time. After Zhang Liang saw the corpse of the giant crocodile, he probably thought that Qin Mo killed the giant crocodile to save him.

Well, a complete fan paranoia!

But regardless of whether it was paranoia or not, in short, Qin Mo killed the giant crocodile and indirectly saved Zhang Liang's life.

Otherwise, the giant crocodile will not die, and Zhang Liang will never survive under the bloody mouth!

Therefore... Zhang Liang naturally did not take advantage of others' danger and gave up his thoughts of avenging Han Cheng, the Lord of Hengyang. Instead, he stepped forward to check Qin Mo's injury. After confirming that he was not dead, he carried Qin Mo with great effort.

Mo, go find the remaining companions to join up.

This was a blessing in disguise. His goal of capturing Qin Mo alive was unexpectedly achieved!

After Zhang Liang reunited with his companions, all of Hengyang Lord's men wanted to kill Qin Mo for revenge, but they were also stopped by him.

He didn't even trust the subordinates of Lord Hengyang, so he left Qin Mo in the care of his only remaining retainers!

Finally, he also said to Lord Hengyang's men: "Although Lord Hengyang is dead, he has heirs. We should support Lord Hengyang's eldest son as our master, and this animal should also be handed over to Lord Hengyang's eldest son."

After Hengyang Jun's men heard this, they temporarily put away their murderous intentions towards Qin Mo and agreed with Zhang Liang's words.

So, the group of people hurriedly got out of the swamp, bought a boat from someone, and took the waterway down the river to the East China Sea, which was a thousand miles in one day.

No matter how strict Ying Zheng's arrangements were, he could not catch up with Zhang Liang and his entourage who were traveling with the current.

The soldiers from the four counties had not yet formed a blockade within a radius of 300 miles, but Zhang Liang and his party had already reached the sea.

Well, Zhang Liang's ability to escape is still so good!

Qin Mo, as for Qin Mo, was in and out of consciousness during this period and could eat some food, but he was still in a daze and could not really regain his consciousness. He seemed to be suffering from a concussion.

The giant crocodile struck the back of his neck with the dragon's tail swing, but thank God it didn't break his neck on the spot!

However, Qin Mo's body has a powerful self-healing ability, far beyond that of ordinary people.

After being groggy for several days, I woke up one day and my five senses finally returned. Although I was still dizzy and top-heavy, I was able to perceive everything around me on my own.

"Woooooo~!"

Qin Mo heard the faint cry of a woman beside him, so he steeled himself and opened his eyes to check.

There was indeed a woman beside him. She looked to be less than thirty years old. Her appearance was decent, her facial features were bright and majestic, giving people a mature and steady look.

It's just that I'm a little embarrassed at the moment, and my eyes are swollen from crying!

"You... cough, give me some water."

Qin Mo's throat was very dry and he couldn't help but cough as soon as he opened his mouth.

When the beautiful woman saw him waking up, she quickly stopped crying, hurriedly fetched a kettle, and poured him warm water from a lacquerware cup.

Then, like feeding a wolf to a tiger, he fearfully handed the water glass to Qin Mo's mouth.

Qin Mo took a few sips, but because he was lying down, he choked and coughed again. The beautiful woman was so frightened that she retracted her hands and hid in the corner.

"Ahem...Why are you crying?"

Qin Mo finally held back his coughing, and finally his throat was no longer dry, so he asked aloud.

The beautiful woman wiped away the tears on her face, but she hesitated to speak and did not dare to reply.

Squeak——

At this time, there was a sudden sound of the door opening and closing beside him, and a swordsman poked his head in to take a look.

Qin Mo squinted his eyes slightly, a little uncomfortable with the light outside the door, but with the light coming in from the door, he also understood his surroundings.

This place is a cabin, very dilapidated, and has a faint fishy smell!

Outside the door, you can see the endless sea, you can hear the faint sound of water waves in your ears, and you can also smell the unique smell of sea water in your nose.

But it is undoubtedly still at sea!

As for the swordsman who poked his head in to check, Qin Mo vaguely knew him as one of Zhang Liang's retainers.

"Hey, our Great Qin Prime Minister is awake, so he is very lucky." The swordsman couldn't help but joked when he saw that Qin Mo was conscious.

Qin Mo pointed at the beautiful woman and asked, "Who is she? Did you bring your family with you during the restoration?"

The swordsman shook his head and did not hide anything. He smiled and explained: "They are not family members, but they were taken from the road to take care of you."

"If you have any ideas, you might as well use them."

As he spoke, he showed a lewd smile that all men would understand.

Qin Mo stood up suddenly and said angrily: "You deserve to die if you rob a girl by force!"

The swordsman was well aware of his bravery. He was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back and bumped into the railing of the ship before he stopped and steadied himself. He said angrily: "I didn't kidnap him. If you want to get angry, you can't find me..."

"I'll tell the master, please just stay here."

"Watch him!"

The swordsman gave instructions to his nearby companions and left quickly.

Qin Mo staggered and lay down on the bed again. When he stood up, he almost fainted.

"Be careful of kowtow."

The beautiful woman exclaimed, rushed over to support him, and helped him lie down on the bed safely.

Qin Mo glanced at her and asked, "Why are you not afraid anymore?"

The beautiful woman forced out a smile and asked: "The swordsman just called you the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, so you are the governor of Qin Mo, right?"

Qin Mo nodded: "Yes."

The beautiful woman took a deep breath, and the smile on her pretty face became much more sincere: "I heard that your Majesty loves the people as your own children. I just saw you scolding the swordsman, so I am not afraid anymore!"

Qin Mo laughed dumbly: "You are smart and have some knowledge. You must be from a good family, right?"

"Look back, I'll discuss it with the owner here and ask him to take you ashore!"

The beautiful woman was overjoyed at first, and then shook her head in panic: "You must not do it, Lord. I don't know how far this place is from my home. If I go ashore alone, it will be difficult for me to return home, and I may encounter bad people again."

Qin Mo suddenly nodded. This was indeed the truth. He was about to ask where the beautiful woman was from when there was movement outside the door.

Then, Zhang Liang's figure appeared at the door.

Zhang Liang first bowed his hands and asked with concern: "Brother Qin, are you feeling better?"

Qin Mo, who was lying half-lying, returned the salute: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for not killing me."

"What can't be killed? If Brother Qin hadn't killed the giant crocodile, I would have turned into fish dung."

Zhang Liang waved his hand indifferently.

Qin Mo did not comment, lay down again and said: "You don't hate me for killing that bearded man?"

He didn't know yet that he was killing Lord Hengyang Han Cheng.

But he still remembered Zhang Liang's angry roar when he beheaded the bearded man.

When Zhang Liang heard the word "big beard", he couldn't help but think of Han Cheng's voice and smile, and a look of pain flashed across his face.

But the pained look was quickly put away by him, and he said helplessly: "Killing Brother Qin will not help, so let's leave Brother Qin to be useful."

Qin Mo was dumbfounded: "Are you still thinking of winning over me?"

Zhang Liang did not deny it, and solemnly nodded and said: "If the prince is willing to rebel against Qin, Zhang Liang is willing to serve you as the master and work together for a great cause!"

When he was in the swamp, he was talking nonsense and using psychological tactics.

But at this time, he was sincere, and his title of Qin Mo had changed from Qin brother to Junhou.

After all, Han Cheng, Lord of Hengyang, is dead, and as for Han Cheng's heirs, he is actually not familiar with them.

Instead of supporting a guy who has no idea of ​​his character, it is better to support his idol, Qin Mo, who is already famous all over the world.

Zhang Liang is not a quick-thinking guy, he thinks very thoroughly!

Qin Mo couldn't laugh or cry, and asked with a smile: "If I don't agree, will you kill me?"

Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, the Lord cares about the people of the world. If Zhang Liang kills the Lord, he will be a sinner for the ages, so don't do it!"

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows and asked again: "If you don't kill me, and I won't accept your support, what are your plans in the future? Are you going to support others again?"

Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment when he was asked. He was really confused by the question.

Hengyang Lord Han Cheng has been dead for so many days. Of course he has thought about this issue, but supporting Qin Mo has always been his first choice.

As for supporting Han Cheng's heir, although he had thought about it, he didn't really take it to his heart.

To put it bluntly, with Qin Mo Zhuyu in front of him, he looks down on others!

When asked by Qin Mo, he thought about it carefully and felt a little empty and confused.

Yes, what are your plans for the future?

To support Han Cheng's heir, he must at least meet him first. If the heir does not have Han Cheng's talents, he will definitely not want to support him.

"Let's talk about what happens next."

Zhang Liang shook his head in confusion and said casually.

Seeing him like this, Qin Mo suddenly had a thought in his mind: "Aren't you willing to support me? How about going to my country in the west of Hexi to serve as an official."

When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately pulled his face and said, "Young masters, please don't joke. If others don't know, how can I not know?"

"The country west of Hexi will also be the territory of Tyrant Qin sooner or later. How can Zhang Liang serve Tyrant Qin!"

Qin Mo smacked his lips and changed the subject: "Where are you going?"

Zhang Liang glanced at him hesitantly, seeming wary, but then he felt ridiculous for his wariness, and said bluntly: "Going around the sea to the land of South Vietnam, would you like to go with us?"

Qin Mo shook his head and said firmly: "I don't want to!"

Zhang Liang: "..."

It's not up to you. If I don't kill you, I can't let you go!
