There was a fierce fighting sound in front of him, Zhong Li never expected that Shang Gong's doubts would soon come true, this was clearly a conspiracy, a conspiracy to assassinate Yingcheng.

Yingcheng is the commander of the garrison barracks, who left his post without permission and entered Xianyang City alone to inquire about the cause of his mother's death, obviously to leave Yingcheng alone and create an opportunity for assassination.

At first, Zhongli thought that it should be assassinated in the Zongren Mansion, but after he went, Shang Gong did not kill Yingcheng, indicating that there was someone else. But Zhongli never expected that the assassination location was actually outside the city.

From Xianyang City to the garrison barracks, within just five miles, the other party spread out at the most negligent location of Yingcheng and Zhongli, and suddenly caught them off guard. It was a long-planned assassination, a lore that took place at a time when Yingcheng was depressed and angry at his mother's death.

Yingcheng didn't expect that someone would dare to kill him on this road. As long as you blow the horn in your waist, there will be a large number of subordinates rushing to help in a short period of time, but the other party did this, and Yingcheng didn't have a chance to blow the horn at all.

More than a dozen masked black-clothed men surrounded Yingcheng in a group, one layer inside and one layer outside. Close-quarters killing, countless arrows shot at the outer layer, and don't care about those hand-to-hand combat partners at all. They would even shoot their partners, and where did Yingcheng have the opportunity to blow the horn, his whole body was scratched by the blade of the sword, the arrow was bruised, and the blood was dripping. If it weren't for the finest armor of Great Qin, it was likely that he would be surrounded and killed on the spot.

Judging from the shots of these men in black, this group of people is clearly a group of dead soldiers, and in order to complete the task, they don't care about their personal lives at all. Yingcheng knew that he would insist on it and leave the camp privately, and after such a long time, the brothers in the army would definitely find him.

Yingcheng couldn't care so much anymore, so he fought back and shouted loudly. Every time a sword was struck, it would be shouted loudly, and in the nearby barracks, sure enough, several teams of soldiers were looking for it. As long as you hold on for a while, you can launch a counter-kill against these dead soldiers.

At the time of life and death, Yingcheng will do his best to learn in his life, not seeking to kill the enemy, but to protect himself. Hearing the rapid march of the army in the distance, these dead soldiers remained unmoved, and kept adding wounds to Yingcheng's body. They also want to kill Yingcheng, but Yingcheng has peak strength, and it is difficult to hit with one hit, so they can only fight for consumption.

Seeing the figure of the army appear in the dark night in the distance, the dead soldiers on the outer layer ignored the people inside, and all the ruthless arrows were shot, creating more wounds on Yingcheng's body, and also shooting several partners who were slow. Yingcheng can't say that these dead soldiers are outlaws, and all kinds of chains, long swords, and arrows are intertwined, and they can't get out at all.

Hold on for a while, barely maintain balance, and wait for the army to surround and surround Yingcheng and the dead soldiers, but they don't dare to come forward to rescue easily. These dead soldiers didn't leave at all, and they didn't look at the surrounding army, and they still ruthlessly besieged Yingcheng.

The fight of the dead and the struggle of the victories have reached a delicate balance. They are all soldiers who have been training in the army for a long time, and everyone can see that if the dead soldiers are scattered, in the chaos, Yingcheng may die with a whimper. The current Yingcheng is completely hanging, if this breath is vented, he will be killed by the other party next.

No one knows where these dead soldiers came from, they are well-trained and cooperative. Yingcheng wanted to break out of a gap and connect with the surrounding military brothers, but it was difficult to do it. This assassination was carried out for half a pillar of incense, and in such a short period of time, Yingcheng has been struggling on the death line, and the physical strength and energy consumption are too great, and it is difficult to rush out.

The soldiers hurriedly turned around, surrounded the battle group in three or four layers, and stabbed out their spears to kill the dead soldiers. Every time the spear was handed over, the dead soldiers would move closer to the most central battle group, and the soldiers did not dare to enter at all, for fear of accidentally injuring Yingcheng.

A sword slashed Yingcheng's thigh, and Yingcheng half-knelt on the ground, seeing that he couldn't resist the long sword in front of him. At this moment, all the long swords in front of him were missed, and a strong internal force struck, rushing away the dead soldiers. By Yingcheng's side, an indifferent woman appeared, staring at these assassinations mercilessly.

Seeing this woman, all the soldiers, including Yingcheng, were greatly boosted, and the person who came was Zhongli.

Zhongli said coldly: "Kill them all." ”

All the soldiers said in unison, "Wow." ”

With Zhongli's personal protection of Yingcheng, the soldiers no longer had any scruples, formed a battle formation, and charged a few times, scattering the dead soldiers, and besieging and killing them one by one. These dead soldiers are highly skilled, but on the battlefield, they are not adapted to such tactics at all, and they are constantly killed one by one.

Seeing that the plan had failed, the last few dead men looked at each other, and with a backhand sword on the spot, they committed suicide on the spot.

Yingcheng endured the severe pain, half-knelt in front of Zhongli, and said, "Thank you teacher for the rescue." ”

Zhongli looked at Yingcheng's appearance, and said loudly at the soldiers around him: "Return to the big tent in the army." ”

Zhongli took the lead and walked away, and several soldiers carried a stretcher, bandaged Yingcheng's injuries briefly, and carried Yingcheng away. One of the soldiers smiled bitterly: "Brother Yingcheng, we are all from the Praetorian Guard, you are the commander of the first army, and you leave your post without permission, this crime can be big or small." If it weren't for Teacher Zhongli coming, your life would probably be lost, and we could all be vague, but on the side of the teacher and the king, you can only let yourself explain. ”

Another soldier wondered: "The teacher is here, and no one in the army dares to make a mistake, but where did these assassinations come from?" Looking at their appearance, it is clear that they are not Qin people. ”

Ying Cheng said hatefully: "Where are these assassins, it is clearly a group of dead soldiers, if I die, there will be chaos in the army, and there will also be turmoil in Xianyang." When I go back, everything is under the teacher's orders, and the teacher is reluctant to cure my crimes, and you don't need to ask about this. ”

The group entered the garrison camp in a hurry, looking at Zhongli who was walking in the front, and the soldiers on patrol bowed their heads and saluted. Zhongli does not have any official position in the army, but the people in the military respect her very much.

Walking directly into the coach's tent, Zhong Li sat on the main seat without giving up, waved his hand, and said: "Except for Li Xin, all the people below the general will step down." ”

looked at Yingcheng lying on the stretcher again, and said coldly: "You just lie down for me, and wait to see how I convict you." ”

Everyone didn't dare to say much, and after most of them withdrew, all the generals left in the big tent were weighty. Li Xin was also puzzled, his position was demoted, and he didn't know why Zhongli wanted to keep him.

After being silent for a while, Zhongli patted the armrest on the seat and said coldly: "Yingcheng boy, you are the commander of the First Army, you left your post without permission and entered the city without permission, this crime can be big or small. Fortunately, Gongzi had already seen me and sent me here, and if this matter reached the ears of those ministers, it is estimated that even I would not be able to protect you. ”

Looking at the familiar generals in the big tent, these are his henchmen, and there are no outsiders, although he is covered in bruises, but Yingcheng said with a smile: "Thank you teacher for rescue, the so-called chaos will not die, there will be a blessing, the teacher will never hand me over to those ministers." ”

Zhongli glared at him, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have learned about your trip to Xianyang that those dead soldiers are not Shang Gong's people. You are so bold, is the Zongren Mansion you can go to? ”

"Look at your appearance, it is estimated that you will not recover for three months. From now on, the lord of this hall will deprive you of the position of commander and stay in the army to recuperate from your injuries, during this period, you are not allowed to go anywhere, let alone let outsiders know that you are injured, can you be convinced? ”

Yingcheng smiled bitterly: "Follow the teacher's order, if the teacher is not here, maybe my little life will not be guaranteed, where can I dare to have other thoughts." ”

Zhongli nodded and said, "With your injuries, you can't command the garrison at all, and if you want to wait for Ling Yu to send someone over, it will take a lot of time." You can't be left without a master in the army, and when you can't take care of the affairs of the army, let Li Xinlai take over your position. ”

At the same time, he said to Li Xinyan: "Li Xin boy, you can't make any more mistakes, this promotion of you to the position of coach is only temporary." After Yingcheng's injury is healed, this position will still be handed over to him. If you want to be promoted faster, you can only make military achievements on the battlefield, and Childe and I can speak for you. ”

"All the generals listened to the order, and during this period, they gave a silent order to the army, and no one was allowed to disclose to the outside world that Yingcheng left the camp without permission, and those who violated the order were beheaded."

Everyone said in unison again, "Wow." ”

They are used to Zhongli giving orders, and when they get to the army, everything Zhongli says is a military order, and they don't need to be asked, just be obedient. The duty of a soldier is to obey orders, with Zhongli's current status, what she said is more effective than the tiger talisman, the commander of the first army said that he would be dismissed, and the promotion of a person under the position was just one sentence, and no one dared to say more.

What's more, Li Xin is not an outsider, he is in the garrison barracks, and no one really dares to drive him as a small soldier. The battle of Qin and Chu was defeated, and he made such a big mistake, Yingzheng didn't kill him, and let him stay in the army, which also had the intention of promotion.

It's just that these words, Yingzheng can't say it, after all, he has to take into account the emotions of the ministers, and if he wants to be a good king, the rewards are indispensable. But Yingzheng is not Zhongli, Zhongli is too familiar with the people in the army, especially the young generals inside, most of them have been taught by Zhongli, and they respect this swordsman in their hearts.

Who Zhongli wants to dismiss and who he promotes, it's all a matter of one sentence, even those ministers, they don't dare to say much.

Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "Yingcheng, when you become the patriarch of the Ying clan, you can't kill Shang Gong." I Daqin governs the country according to the law, the most important filial piety, after all, Shang Gong is your own grandfather, even if he makes any mistakes, it is the grievances of the previous generation, not those of you who are younger generations can interfere. ”

"I will tell Childe about this, and Childe will definitely give you justice. If you kill him in advance with resentment, what will the old people of the royal family think of you? You represent Childe, they may not dare to do anything to Childe, but it is still easy to deal with you. ”

"Now that the prince and the worshippers are playing, if you kill the Shang Gong again, for the sake of the overall situation, even I may not be able to protect you. Don't look at me as high as I am now, but I also have a bond, although I am not afraid of those offerings, but when the day comes to fight with them, I have no time to take care of you. Those people will target you sooner or later in order to vent their anger, I am only one person, two fists are invincible with four hands, it is better not to fight with them, or not to fight, so for the time being, we have maintained restraint with the worshippers, barely maintaining this balance, but you can't be caught by them, you know? ”

Ying Cheng knew about the game with the worshippers for a long time, and said on the spot: "I listen to the teacher, and I will never take it upon myself again." But Shang Gong killed my mother, and this revenge was not avenged, and it was in vain as a son of man. ”

Zhongli said coldly: "Then put up with it for me, and endure it until the day when Gongzi kills him." The life and death of the Shang Gong can only be decided by the son, and no one has the right to interfere. You also think about it, Shang Gong is so hated, Gongzi and Mo Wu'an didn't kill him, and let him be the patriarch of the Ying clan, do you want him to keep doing it? ”

"It's just that everyone has scruples, there are many royal elders standing behind Shang Gong, and there are many worshippers watching, so we have to maintain this balance. When the Central Plains is unified, Gongzi has time to intervene, and then the new accounts and old accounts are calculated together, which is a proper policy. ”

Ying Cheng nodded when he heard this, and Zhong Li ordered some things in the army, only then did he know that Ying Cheng left the camp without permission, which really caused many soldiers to worry. It seems that he can't leave today, Yingcheng is injured, and he can't come forward to go to various camps to condole.

These were left to Li Xin to do, but he was temporarily promoted, and there was no edict from Ying Zheng, so many soldiers would not necessarily listen to him. Zhongli can only sit in the big tent and suppress some disobedient soldiers. Zhongli is also too worried, everyone knows that you are in the boss's big tent, who else dares to hit your gun? What Zhongli wants to kill is just a matter of one sentence, Zhongli has no mercy when he kills people.

Zhongli recalled what Shang Gong had said to her, Yingcheng went out of the camp without permission, and there should be a huge conspiracy hidden inside. Since he won't leave tonight, you might as well ask Yingcheng who told him.

When Yingcheng said that name, Zhongli was shocked.
