The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 310 The forest shadows are lonely and the lonely wind is cold

A swordsman dressed in brocade clothes appeared in front of Long Qie.

The attack on the palace was in full swing, and the shouts of killing could be heard faintly even in the remote forest far away.

Long Qie was originally very excited. As long as Ying Zheng died, the hatred of destroying the country would be over.

Until the appearance of the person in front of him made Long Qie feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Who is it?" The soldiers around Long Qie were guarding him on the left and right with long swords, preventing the swordsman from moving forward.

Long Qie waved his hand to signal his men not to be so nervous, and said, "You guys retreat first!"

"yes!"

In the remote forest, the soldiers quickly retreated.

The forest shadows are silent and the cold wind is whistling.

"Why are you here? My brother!"

The reunion of close relatives after a long absence was not as warm as expected. Long Qie looked at Long Xiu, who was dressed in brocade clothes, with wary eyes and asked.

At this place and at this time, it is difficult for people not to doubt the purpose of Long Xiu appearing here.

As a military strategist, Long Qie was ruthless on the battlefield. All unplanned factors were something he needed to be wary of, even if it was his brother.

With excitement in his heart, but reason prevailed, Long Xiu took a step forward, but Long Qie waved his spear, "Brother, you should know the military art passed down to us by our father. Soldiers are ruthless!"

Long Xiu smiled and said, "You have indeed grown a lot over the years, and you are no longer the naive brother you were before!"

"Yes. A person who has lost his country is just a dog who has lost his family. I have already learned how to survive in the chaos, and I have to thank my father for teaching us the art of war when he was a child. Otherwise, now, I would have become one of those traitors who asked for rewards from the violent Qin Dynasty. Tools." Long Qie said, a chill emanating from his body, making people feel an indescribable indifference.

"What about you? My brother!"

"I have surrendered to the CRRC Order of the Empire and become a guarding dog." Long Xiu smiled mockingly to himself.

"You actually surrendered to the violent Qin Dynasty and helped the tyrants to do evil!" Long Qie was so angry that it seemed that the next moment, the spear in his hand was going to pierce his brother.

However, Long Qie did not take action after all and asked: "Why?"

"Why?" Long Xiu said with a sad face: "In the battle of Nanyang, Zhao Gao's elite network was destroyed by Prince Qin. He lacked a lot of desperadoes to do things for him. I took this opportunity to do it for him. I did a few important things and won the trust of Zhao Gao. After sneaking into the empire for these years, I originally wanted to look for an opportunity to assassinate Ying Zheng just like you to avenge my father. But in the end, I gave up!"

"Really?" Long Qie sneered: "Has your life of glory and wealth made you lose the heart of a warrior? Have you forgotten the hatred of destroying the country and the love of brotherhood?"

"No, you don't understand!" Long Xiu's expression was very painful.

"I don't understand!" Long Qie was emotional and said sarcastically: "Looking at the clothes you are wearing, it is enough to feed the hundreds of brothers around me for half a month! So, you are greedy for glory and have forgotten the original promise!"

"Brother Qie!" Long Xiu yelled, making Long Qie quiet down. "You don't understand the power of Emperor Qin, because you have never been close to him. But I have. Recently, I was only ten steps away from Emperor Qin. At that time, I was about to risk my life, just like Jing Ke. Assassinate Emperor Qin. But I gave up in the end, do you know why?"

"Why?"

A look of pain began to appear on Long Xiu's face. Looking at his brother's appearance, Long Qie calmed down and asked.

"Because just before that, Emperor Qin glanced at me. I'm afraid it's hard for you to imagine that even that unintentional look made me not even have the courage to stand up. I prostrated at his feet, not daring to move. Don't move until Ying Zheng leaves." Long Xiu didn't feel a trace of tears shed on his face, showing his weakness.

Long Qie put his arm on his elder brother's shoulder and said, "Brother, this time is different. We will definitely succeed!"

Long Xiu shook his head and said: "I came here this time just to ask you to leave quickly with your troops. Don't follow Zhao Xie anymore!"

"What! Why?" Long Qie asked in confusion.

"If I'm not wrong, this mutiny was all expected by Ying Zheng. Zhao Gao may have captured Zhao Xie at this moment. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

"But..." Long Qie's thoughts were confused and he couldn't figure it out. Finally, he grabbed Long Xiu's hand and said, "Brother, let's go together."

"No, I still have my own purpose in staying with Zhao Gao. You hurry up and take hundreds of your brothers to leave immediately and return to the south of Chu. The mountains and rivers there are dangerous, so you can survive smoothly."

Long Xiu looked at Long Qie, finished speaking, turned and left.

………

In the palace, the rebel army and horses were overwhelming.

Chen Rong was originally a general of the State of Zhao, and most of the soldiers around him were surrendered soldiers of the State of Zhao. At this moment, for one goal, like an arrow, they quickly penetrated into the palace where Ying Zheng was.

Regardless of casualties and costs, this ruthless use of troops was as ruthless as an assassin's assassination. Even the elite Qin army around the First Emperor did not gain the slightest advantage, but retreated steadily.

Wang Li stood on the corridor outside the front hall of Li Palace, looking anxiously at the situation ahead, but somewhat helpless.

Wang Li had the heart to rush and kill, but he had the important task of guarding the emperor, so he could only stand here and worry.

"How is the arrangement going?" Wang Li asked the captain beside him.

"I moved planks and stones from the palace and temporarily built a layer of outer trenches. If the rebels rush over, they can delay their offensive."

"It's not enough!" Wang Li murmured: "Find more materials and build a layer of trenches. The safety of His Majesty the Emperor is of great importance and there must be no room for failure!"

"Yes, sir!"

Just as the captain turned to leave, Wang Li saw the attacking formation of the surrounding rebels suddenly stagnated like several sharp cones.

"what happened?"

Wang Li was a little confused, but then he saw that the rebels, who had launched an extremely fierce offensive, gradually withered and retreated.

Soon after, Meng Tian walked quickly towards the palace.

At this time, Meng Tian suffered some minor injuries and his hair was scattered.

"General, what's going on?" Wang Li asked.

"It's General Wang Ben! General Wang led three thousand cavalry troops and attacked Chen Rong's camp outside the city a moment ago. After that, he pursued from behind and killed the rebels into chaos. At this moment, the rebels had huddled around the city wall. Nearby. I am here to ask His Majesty the Emperor for instructions, how to deal with this rebel army?"

"Father!" Wang Li's joy was beyond words, and he immediately said, "General, follow me!"

The palace was empty, with only a few candles shining in the distance. On top of the imperial case, the bamboo slips beside Ying Zheng were piled high.

"Your Majesty, the rebels are besieged. The general has come to ask for orders. Should he be killed or retained?"

On the distant throne, Ying Zheng was flipping through the bamboo slips in his hand. Hearing Meng Tian's words, he did not raise his head, but said one word lightly, "Kill!"

The voice is very soft, but it travels far. Meng Tian resigned, knowing that after tonight, there would probably be a bloody storm in this Zhao land!

The sun rises, and in the palace, the smell of anxiety is mixed with blood. The Qin army is carrying the corpses on the battlefield and cleaning up the ruins of last night's battlefield. Li Si put his hands behind his back and looked at the scene in front of him indifferently.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please beg your Majesty for us. We are really not rebellious spies!"

A group of soldiers escorted several ministers and passed by Li Si.

These people were the ministers who suggested mobilizing county soldiers to drive away the rebels that day. At this moment, they all became the subject of investigation and were taken away for questioning by the sergeant.

When they saw Li Si, they begged for mercy as if they were grasping at straws.

Li Si didn't even have time to pay attention to them. A chill could not help but rise in his heart. If he had agreed to mobilize county soldiers that day, what would happen now?

The reason why Li Si hesitated that day was because he saw something unusual, so he didn't speak.

But now, Li Si, who has a sensitive sense of touch, has noticed where the emperor's sword is pointing! But it was precisely because of this that Li Si didn't feel like he was from another world.

After all, he and Young Master Fusu have become very close over the years! In this storm, if he chooses not carefully. He, the Prime Minister of Great Qin, may not be able to hold on for much longer!

"Master Prime Minister!"

Zhao Gao's gloomy voice interrupted Li Si's contemplation.

"It's an order from CRRC!" Li Si replied calmly. Li Si always kept a close distance to Zhao Gao. "What happened to the rebel leader?"

"The leader of the rebels was so fierce that when he saw that he was no match for me, he actually committed suicide with his sword. I just asked your Majesty for forgiveness. Your Majesty was so kind that he never blamed me."

"Is that so?" Li Si murmured. In fact, at this moment, he had no interest in paying attention to Zhao Gao's troubles.

"Prime Minister, your Majesty is in a bad mood at the moment. Prime Minister, please be careful when meeting the Holy Spirit." Zhao Gao showed a smile on his face, showing his goodwill.

"In a bad mood?" Li Si said suspiciously. What can make His Majesty feel bad?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just submitted a memorial, maybe because of this!"

Zhao Gao didn't know the content of the memorial, so he just guessed based on his instinctive intuition. But he didn't know what it contained. After all, Emperor Qin's face looked really bad after reading the memorial!

Li Si nodded and turned around to leave, but his heart was in turmoil!

What happened to the prince?

"Prime Minister, take a look!"

In the main hall, Li Si picked up the bamboo slips dropped by Emperor Qin. But just after taking a look, sweat broke out on his forehead!

The prince actually destroyed the Yin Yang family!

But without allowing Li Si to think about it, Emperor Qin then asked: "Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Si bowed his head and was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Judging from the contents of the memorial, the prince has uprooted the Yin Yang family. But the essence of this matter does not lie with the Yin Yang family, but with Emperor Qin's attitude.

The Yin Yang family is looking for the elixir for Emperor Qin. Li Si had a deep understanding of Emperor Qin's obsession with the elixir. Whether this matter is big or small depends entirely on Emperor Qin's wishes at this time.

Thinking of what Emperor Qin has done recently, it seems that he is already paving the way for the prince to ascend the throne in the future. But now something like this happened, and the future situation suddenly became confusing, which really made Li Si feel confused.

Li Si understood that Emperor Qin's seemingly casual question was actually testing his attitude towards the prince.

But the problem is that Li Si is not sure about the emperor's pulse.

In the end, Li Si gritted his teeth and said in his heart that he could only make one gamble. "Your Majesty, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be recalled from Songhai to inquire about the specific situation. In addition, it is advisable to ask the county guards in various places to be on guard against remnants of the Yin Yang family from causing trouble."

"I know, let's do it!" Emperor Qin paused and said, "This time Chen Rong rebelled, it was the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who were behind it. It seems that I was too lenient towards them in the past."

Li Si lowered his head and let out a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that his choice was the right one.

Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has caused a huge disaster, His Majesty the Emperor still has no intention of abolishing the throne.

"You go down!"

"Wei Chen, please retire!" Li Si said with his hands and retreated gently. But only he knew that his back was already wet at this moment.

Mohist stronghold.

Since Mirage and his party, the Mo family has retreated from their stronghold outside Songhai City and moved to a more private place. A small mountain village located in a valley far away from Songhai.

"Miss Duanmu, is Shi Lan okay?" Xiao Pangdun asked anxiously. She had been unconscious for many days since she rescued Shi Lan from the mirage.

"Shi Lan's current situation is very strange. There is a powerful force running in her body. Her body is constantly adapting to accept this force." Duan Murong said slowly.

"Weird woman, what do you mean?" Jiji Ming asked. Ever since the mirage was repaired by Prince Qin that day, Chicken Leg Ming has been negative for a long time. However, when Chef Ding prepared a few new dishes, Chicken Leg Ming quickly returned to his true nature as a foodie.

The so-called negative emotions quickly disappeared.

"In other words, during this running-in process, Shi Lan may wake up the next moment, or she may not wake up for the rest of her life." Duan Murong looked ugly. Although she is known as a medical fairy, Shi Lan's current condition is no longer a medical skill. It can be solved.

"How could this happen?" Little Fatty muttered with an ugly face.

Right next door to this room.

At this moment, Gao Jianli was sitting on the floor, his face as white as water. Opposite him sat Thieves Zhi.

"How is the Yin Yang family doing?"

"It has been uprooted by Prince Qin, and now only the soul of the Moon God is still on the run. Now, the Qin army has begun to hunt for alchemists related to the Yin Yang family, and the situation outside is very chaotic."

"What about the princess?" Gao Jianli asked. What he is concerned about is Yan Dan's daughter Gao Yue. Rumors about her being in the Yin Yang family have been circulating for a long time, but there is no specific information.

Thief Zhi frowned and said: "There are rumors in the world that someone has seen the Moon God Star Soul with a little girl who looks like Yue'er. What's even more strange is that the Moon God Star Soul seems to be very respectful to the little girl."
