Chapter 163: Assassinating Zhao Gao

A double-bridled carriage staggered to a stop in front of a large mansion in the southwest of Xianyang City, with four ancient seals of the Marquis of Tongwu hanging on the thick and majestic gate, and two burly soldiers with swords and halberds standing in front of the door.

Zhao Gao, who was slightly rich, was helped out of the car by his entourage, and walked to the door after tidying up his clothes.

"Meet Zhao Fuling!" The two soldiers hurriedly saluted.

"Is General Wang in the mansion, help me get through, just say that Zhao Gao is coming to visit!" Zhao Gao commanded with a smile on his face.

Although he is the commander of the CRRC government and a member of the royal family, in the face of the Wang family's father and son, no one in the entire Great Qin dares to underestimate him.

Wang Jian Wang Ben father and son, is the first emperor in the hands of His Majesty the two battle axes, conquer the battle of the Six Kingdoms, the father and son swept the five countries, laid the foundation for the unification of China in the Great Qin, and made great achievements, Qin Shi Huang also did not hesitate to reward, after the destruction of Qi Wang Ben military merit reward 19th level, ranked in the Guannei Marquis, was named the Marquis of Tongwu, the respect of the marquis, even the current Great Qin Left Prime Minister Li Si has not gotten, so it is enough to see the status of the Wang family father and son in the heart of Qin Shi Huang, and after the unification of the Qin State, Wang Jian Wang Ben and his son will retreat bravely to retire and retreat, No longer participates in court politics, and has been living in seclusion in the Xianyang Mansion to recuperate.

However, Qin Shi Huang did not forget the two big axes in his hands, and often rewarded gold and jade jewelry, and often invited the father and son into the palace to drink together.

Although this marriage seems to be Li Si's suggestion, in fact, Qin Shi Huang has already planned, because at this time he is already planning to conquer Baiyue in the south, Wang Jian Wang Ben's father and son are naturally the first choice, just throw it out can help him chop those barbarians in the land of Baiyue into pieces, and marriage is naturally a very important performance, Jiang Chuyue is just a side branch of the Jiang family, Jiangbei Pavilion is only a county order, the status is too low, not enough to show the identity and status of the family, Even if it is Jiang Heng, the doctor of Taizhong, he is just a four-grade counselor who has no real power, whether it is too different from the Zhao family or the Wang family, and the status of the Jiang family is not worth Qin Shi Huang to take care of the mood, a marriage of side branches, and the dissolution will not have any psychological burden for Qin Shi Huang.

Wang Ben's father Wang Qian, although he is now more than sixty years old, but still burly and brave, according to the story of the former Zhao general Lian Po can still eat, he is always old but has a good appetite, and he can eat half a sheep in one meal, so his body is still strong, coupled with his great military achievements, he can be said to be a tiger-like existence in Daqin, compared to General Meng Yi, who is now guarding the Northwest Great Wall to fight the Huns, the status does not know how much higher, as long as he stands in the court, almost no one dares to speak loudly.

Because Wang Qian's ability to command and fight is now unmatched in Daqin, and Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Li Mu are listed as the four famous generals of the Warring States, and they have long been supergods, and the other three of these four people have long been ancient, Wang Jian is the only remaining god of war, and no one in the world can beat him, and it is completely a divine weapon that shocks the world, it is the existence of the ninth level of the Holy Order, and it is suppressed by the aura of the Holy Order, and from time to time it will be turned out by Qin Shi Huang to bask in the sun, so that the old and young of the Six Kingdoms can see the golden axe in my hand, If anyone dares to jump out and rebel, they will directly chop it down with an axe, and suddenly the blood and flesh will be blurred.

"Haha, Zhao Mansion orders forgiveness, Ben greets it late!"

Just as Zhao Gao was talking to the two guards, a hearty laugh sounded inside the gate, and a middle-aged man wearing a wide-sleeved brocade dress and a dragon-patterned jade belt around his waist strode over, wearing a jade crown, with sharp facial features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, nose, straight nose, and wide mouth, and a beard fluttering on his chin.

The middle-aged man walked in the wind, the ground seemed to be shaking, he stepped out of the door in a few steps, and said to Zhao Gao deeply: "Zhao Fu Ling, my father has been waiting in the front hall for a long time!" ”

Zhao Gao also hurriedly took a deep look, and said with a smile on his face: "Hou Ye's gift is high, I don't dare to accept it, Hou Ye, please!" ”

"Please~" Wang Ben stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Gao's arm, and the two walked into the door and walked to the front hall intimately.

Tongwu Marquis Mansion is the Qin Shi Huang Imperial Gift to build, the internal officials' mansion contributed, the Shaofu supervised the construction, covers an area of 100 acres, although there is no beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan Mansion inside, but it is spacious and atmospheric, the entrance is a large area of martial arts field and a row of arrow targets and weapon racks, the line of sight is extremely open, the ground is cushioned with sand and soil of the racecourse, there is the momentum of the battlefield at a glance, obviously and the mansion of the civil official is completely different.

At this time, on the battlefield, there was a tall figure, wearing a blue narrow-sleeved arrow suit, about fifteen or sixteen years old woman riding a horse galloping around the field, her posture was vigorous, and a long bow in her hand was constantly pulled away, shooting out one long arrow after another, accompanied by aggressive sounds, one by one long arrows were nailed to different arrow targets without any hair, which caused the domestic servants and several boys and girls to applaud loudly!

Zhao Gao couldn't help but stop and watch, and then said with a smile on his face: "This is Sanniang, right?" Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog and daughter, I only heard that his swordsmanship is exquisite, but I didn't expect that the archery skills are so superb, I'm afraid that my dog is not worthy of it! ”

"Where is the Zhao Mansion Order, my daughter loves to dance knives and guns since she was a child, so that she still doesn't want to marry people at the age of Xuan, and she has caused a lot of trouble before, this time by His Majesty the Emperor's royal mouth to give marriage, marrying your family Shilang, it is also a matter of my heart, I just hope that after the marriage, I can be more restrained, so as not to make the house uneasy!"

After hearing this, Zhao Gao couldn't help but twitch lightly a few times.

This Wang Ben is a great Qin general, although he is also literate, but he is similar to other martial artists, a straight intestine, and he speaks completely to think of where to speak, these words are obviously not at ease with his daughter who likes to dance with knives and guns, and he is in a hurry to get married, it is obvious that Zhao Zhe is unlucky to be recruited, and it is planted with the emperor's majesty's trick, this marriage that may be restless in the future Zhao Gao can't get rid of it, as for whether Zhao Zhe will be beaten after getting married, that ...... It's up to him to be able and lucky.

No matter how to say that the wife is the daughter of the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Ben, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, even if the wife who marries into the door is not virtuous, how domineering and mighty, or can not be beaten casually, otherwise it will attract the old father's family, the consequences are unimaginable, two big axes are sacrificed, ten Zhao Zhe and three Zhao Gao can't stop it.

The reason why Wang Ben's daughter likes to dance knives and guns and is not married at the age of fifteen is related to Wang Qian, this Great Qin military god not only has a high military value, high military merits, and black eyes in battle, but also is particularly short-sighted, and he likes this granddaughter like a pearl in the palm of her hand, otherwise she would not have been cultivated like this.

The reason why it is said that Wang Jian fought and his eyes were black, please refer to the Qin and Zhao Wars.

When Wang Jian attacked Zhao and encountered Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, the two had the same martial arts value, and the confrontation lasted for more than a year, which led to the instability of the Qin army, Wang Jian couldn't hold back, so he used a counter-strategy, causing Zhao Wang Qian to seize Li Mu's military power, and soon after he was killed, as the only military god who could resist the Qin army in the late Warring States period, Li Mu died, Wang Jian led the Qin army like a bamboo, and conquered Handan in just over a month, captured Zhao Wangqian, and the Zhao royal family fled to the country, almost annihilating the country.

Although it is said that the army is plotting, Wang Qian's trick of killing Li Mu is indeed not bright and atmospheric, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he has black eyes.

And Li Mu died as the only general who could compete with Wang Jian in the late Warring States period, and there were no famous generals in the other six countries who could compete with Wang Qian, and then Wang Jian and Wang Ben father and son were like hanging up, and in less than ten years, they swept through the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, assisted Qin Shi Huang to unify the six countries, and completed the unprecedented hegemony through the ages.

Now in Daqin, except for Qin Shi Huang, no one can afford to provoke the Wang family, and the Wang family also knows that the credit is too great and the Qin Shi Huang is afraid of provoking the suspicion, so after the fall of the Qi State, the two no longer care about any government and military, and bravely retreat to the field in the rapids, drink and throw pots at home every day, ride horses and shoot arrows to entertain themselves, and live a leisurely life.

"I called the little girl to come and Zhao Fuling to say goodbye!" Wang Ben raised his hand and was about to greet him, but was stopped by Zhao Gao's hand, "Marquis Tongwu doesn't have to be like this, after everything is arranged, let the young people slowly get acquainted with it by themselves, don't let the old general wait in a hurry!" ”

"Yes, Zhao Fu Ling, please~" Wang Ben touched his beard and nodded.

The Tongwu Marquis Mansion is not only a large playground, which can accommodate hundreds of people to practice soldiers and horses, even the house is tall and magnanimous, the living room is much larger than that of the general princes and princes, when Zhao Gao followed Wang Ben in, there was a burly figure, gray beard, and an old man with a face similar to Wang Ben was sitting barefoot cross-legged on the couch above, wearing gray linen clothes, his eyes were blazing, and his demeanor was relaxed and he was watching several soldiers wielding bamboo swords in the center of the living room, and the situation looked very lively and pleasant.

"Zhao Gao pays a visit to General Wang!" Zhao Gao's expression was more respectful at this time, and he took a deep look at it to the end.

"Zhao Mansion Order does not need to be polite, Ben'er leads Zhao Mansion Order to sit down and watch tea!"

"Zhao Mansion Order, Please~" Wang Ben is old, and he has no choice but to call himself Ben'er in front of his father, and after smiling dryly and leading Zhao Gao to sit down on the low couch on the left, soon a servant will send a fragrant and steaming tea.

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sniff and said, "This ...... Could this be the purple milk fairy tea that was rumored a few days ago? ”

"Hehe, exactly, this was rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor a few days ago, only two taels, and today it was specially brewed to welcome Zhao Fuling!" Wang Ben was a little proud.

"It's rare, I heard this tea mentioned when I heard His Majesty and Prime Minister Li Cheng talk, the legend is that the smell is fragrant and unique, and drinking it can refresh the mind, it is made by the disciples of the immortal family, Gao has never seen it, and I heard that this tea is extremely rare, Your Majesty doesn't think much, and it can be given to the Tongwu Marquis Mansion two taels, which shows that the position of the two generals in Your Majesty's mind is irreplaceable!" Zhao Gao couldn't help but slap his farts wildly, and at the same time, he was more determined to promote this marriage as soon as possible, the Zhao family took the Tongwu Marquis Mansion, even if the emperor died one day, there would be no other troubles.

"Zhao Mansion has won the award, this is Your Majesty's love for our father and son, about the marriage between Qingsleeve and your family's Zhe'er, Your Majesty has let Zongzheng Mansion know to us, this is a match made in heaven, just choose a good day to do it as soon as possible!" Although Wang Jian likes his granddaughter who loves to dance with knives and guns, she can't get married at such a young age, and she is indeed a little anxious now.

It's no wonder that he is in a hurry, as the granddaughter of the dignified Qin military god, the princes and princes of Xianyang don't know how many, and the young Langjun who is suitable for marriage doesn't know how many, but in the past few years, no one has come to the door to propose, not those who have sons don't want to, but as soon as this matter is mentioned, the sons of those families are looking for death and want to go to the hanging beam to commit suicide and not marry the three ladies of the Tongwu Hou family.

It's not that these three ladies are not good-looking, they can be called the appearance of sinking fish and geese.

It's not that he's in bad shape, it's one meter seven or eight.

But the martial arts value is too high, and the temper is not good, what is even more incomprehensible is that this woman is jealous and hateful, and when she sees which gentleman is playing hooligan and molesting a woman on the street, she is about to explode, and she once beat the son of Gao Taifu, one of the nine Qings, on the street and lay on the bed for half a month, and a few front teeth were knocked off, but Gao Taifu was not only not angry, but also carried a gift to personally go to Tongwu Hou's house to accuse him, and asked Nuan if his concern hurt the hand of the third lady.

Among them, the tiger power of the Wang family's father and son can be seen.

If you are blind and accidentally eat the bear's heart leopard gall and get drunk and marry back, there is basically no hope of entertainment in this life, and the rest of your life is absolutely no different from salted fish, and you will never want to turn over again.

Of course, Zhao Gao is not afraid, anyway, this fourth son is not successful, and it is too cost-effective to exchange the happiness of his son's life for a big backer, and maybe he will grow up after being beaten a few more times? Although the possibility of being discounted is relatively large, but what if it is ......, not to mention that this is still the marriage promised by His Majesty the Emperor personally, the thunder in the sky is big, the uncle on the ground is big, and Daqin is the emperor's biggest, and the royal mouth is given by himself, no one dares to disobey his fate, he doesn't dare, and the father and son of the Wang family don't dare.

Therefore, there will be no doubts about this marriage, Wang Jian and Zhao Gao drank tea and danced in the living room, and by the way, they also determined the wedding date and some details of the marriage.

Although the marriage during the Qin Dynasty was not as cumbersome as the one after the Confucianism in later generations, it was actually roughly stereotyped, including five kinds of Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, and inviting (plus the personal welcome at the wedding, that is, the so-called "six rites"), plus the emperor was the matchmaker, so both parties did not dare to be careless, and after a careful discussion, the time had come to Shen Shi, so Wang Jian and his son left Zhao Gao for dinner.

When the time came, the drunken Zhao Gao staggered out of the Tongwu Marquis Mansion with the support of two servants.

At this time, the sky is still bright, but the sun has already begun to set.

Zhao Gao got into the carriage, and under the protection of more than a dozen burly soldiers in leather armor, more than a dozen horses went down the street to Zhao's mansion.

According to Qin law, the city gates will be closed and a curfew will start during the summer unitary period.

Xianyang is the capital of the Great Qin Emperor, although the implementation of the curfew in other counties is not very thorough, but Xianyang is under the emperor's nose, and the emperor lives in the city, so no one dares to be careless, so the curfew is still very strong, at this time there are almost no people on the street, back and forth or riding horses or running are the forbidden army of the lieutenant's palace on curfew patrols.

Of course, the curfew is only aimed at ordinary people, and the princes and princes who really have status are not among them, so when the forbidden army saw Zhao Gao's carriage and the surrounding military guards kicking and trampling, they could only quickly stand on the side of the road and give way.

"Hiccup~" Zhao Gao sat in the carriage, looking at the houses standing on both sides and the sunset on the horizon, and couldn't help but burp excitedly.

He didn't expect that Wang Jian and his son would pay so much attention and politeness to him, and even the purple cloud fairy tea given by the emperor was willing to brew it for him to drink, it seems that although he has no real power in the three princes and nine kings, but because of his close relationship with His Majesty, everyone still has to be respectful to themselves.

Hehe, thinking of the attitude of Wang Jian and his son, Zhao Gao became more and more secretly complacent.

The so-called drunken exposure is the same for Zhao Gao.

Originally, Zhao Gao had no ability, but his status was not low, and he was once a monarch of Qin, so he and Qin Shi Huang were the royal clan with the same surname and clan, because his father committed a crime, and his mother was implicated and became a slave, and Zhao Gao and several brothers and sisters were extremely lowly, but later Qin Shi Huang heard that Zhao Gao was diligent and proficient in law, so he recruited him to be an official, and Zhao Gao was good at observing words and colors, flattering and flattering, and slowly got Qin Shi Huang's appreciation, and a few years later he was promoted to the CRRC Decree, He was responsible for controlling the emperor's chariots and passing the recitals, and this was a full twenty years, until the death of Qin Shi Huang, he supported Hu Hai to power and further became the prime minister.

But this is a later story, for now, Zhao Gao is a villain who is good at patting Qin Shihuang's ass, with little power but a very high position, but because the current Great Qin is able to produce many people, there is no good guy standing above the entire court, so Zhao Gao is naturally very low-key on weekdays.

But no matter how low-key a person is, once he gets drunk, he will show his fox tail.

At this time, Zhao Gao was like this, sitting in the carriage and humming a little song, gently patting the railing of the carriage with a proud face.

"This imperial marriage, listening to the emperor's tone, it seems to be that Li Si Jinyan, I didn't expect that I Zhao Gao was born lowly, but now even Li Si has to flatter me, and use this marriage to please me, just so that I can help him say a few more good words in front of the emperor in the future, and I can pass the chapter quickly, hehe, Li Si, Li Si, a certain family usually looks at your righteous words, it turns out that I am just a flattering person, quack......" Zhao Gao sat on the gently swaying carriage, his face full of smugness and indescribable.

"There are assassins, be careful~"

Just when Zhao Gao shook his head and laughed at himself in his heart, suddenly the soldiers leading the team in front of him were in a panic, and at the same time there was a loud roar.

Here just came to the bend of a street, the front and rear guards were a little disjointed, only to see a man in black clothes and black pants and a black scarf swooping down from the roof of a nearby pavilion in the bright afterglow, his body swooping down like a goshawk.

"Choking~"

With the sound of an iron sword unsheathed, the man in black swept over the head of a soldier on horseback, and with the flash of black light, the moment the blood light spurted up, a human head rose into the air and rolled more than a foot high.

The man in black landed on the ground, his toes on the ground like a floating leaf rushing forward two feet, his body swaying from side to side like a dragon turning into a phantom and rushing towards the carriage, and the black sword in his hand flew like a black horse and pulled a long afterimage in the air.

"Puff puff~"

With a series of sharp blades sounding one after another, when the man in black pounced in front of the carriage, there were already people behind him who were already on their backs and blood splattering, and five or six burly warriors in leather armor fell from the horse's back one after another, one by one, covering their necks with their hands and rolling on the ground with wide eyes, and blood gurgling between their fingers was like a fountain on the stone street several feet wide.

On a summer evening, a strong smell of blood instantly emanated.

"Choking~" At this time, the other guards who came back to their senses pulled out the long sword on their waists in a panic and rushed towards the man in black, but it was too late, and the man in black was already less than a foot away from Zhao Gao.

"Zhao Gao suffers death~" The man in black let out a low roar, his body soared into the air and threw himself into the carriage, his sharp eyes were cold and abnormal, the iron blade in his hand was cold, and a drop of blood was twisted into a blood-colored mist by the trembling blade and rolled around.

A murderous aura swept like ice and snow, and the strong chill made Zhao Gao's alcohol sober up instantly, and his face turned white with horror while slapping heavily on the handrail of the carriage.

"Boom~" As the handrail collapsed, a crisp and sharp sound sounded, and a snow-white light burst out from under the handrail and crashed into the man in black.

The man in black was caught off guard, he didn't expect that there was a hidden weapon on Zhao Gao's carriage, looking at the white light rushing to his face, the man in black didn't have any time to dodge at all, so he could only grit his teeth and rush forward, and the iron sword in his hand stabbed at Zhao Gao.

"Poof~" The white light pierced directly through the left shoulder of the man in black.

"Poof~" The iron sword in the hand of the man in black was also stabbed in Zhao Gao's right chest, but because of the attack of the white light, the man in black suddenly shook the blade and picked it up obliquely, directly cutting off half of Zhao Gao's ears and hat, and suddenly blood gushed wildly, and his hair scattered, and Zhao Gao fell from the running carriage with a scream.

"Dang Chang~" The white light that penetrated the shoulder of the man in black landed two feet away, and it turned out to be a meniscus-shaped snow-colored thin blade, no more than two inches long, thin and extremely sharp.

And almost at the same time, a short man wearing a gray linen coat and a gray cloth masked and holding a bun suddenly stood up in the back compartment of the carriage, with a figure of no more than five feet, holding something that looked like a bow and crossbow, and the moment he pulled the trigger, two more bright rays of light collided with the man in black.

"Moonblade, ink disciple!"

The man in black was shocked, clutching his shoulders and jumping out of the galloping carriage.

"Puff~" Two extremely sharp thin blades roared, spun rapidly in the air to catch up with the man in black, one swept over his left shoulder, cutting through his clothes and bringing a stream of blood, and the other was dodged by the man in black rolling on the ground.

"Take down the assassin~" The man in gray yelled, jumped out of the carriage and reflexively chased after him, and at this time, the remaining guards also rode up to surround him.

The man in black glanced back at Zhao Gao, who was lying on the ground wailing and rolling more than ten zhang away, and after a little hesitation, he pounced on Zhao Gao again with his sword.

But at this time, it was too late, the guards who were chasing from the rear roared, and there were Mo family disciples with bladed crossbows behind them, and under the attack, the man in black stabbed two guards in a row with a sword in one hand, and was slashed in the chest again by a bronze long sword.
