After leaving the Lishan construction site, Fusu and his party embarked on the road back to Xianyang. This time, Fusu was accompanied by two more followers, one was Xiang Zhuang and the other was Xiang Zhuang's servant Xiang Sheng.

Fu Su was so happy that he was so good at martial arts.

At this time, everyone had arrived at the foot of Mount Li. The kilns reminded Xiangzhuang of the terracotta warriors and horses of later generations. The tens of thousands of terracotta warriors and horses were like soldiers and generals in the underworld. They have survived for more than two thousand years and are still lifelike, bringing with them

Out of curiosity, Xiang Zhuang came to the kiln. At this time, shortly after the furnace was started, the pottery figurines were slowly carried out by several craftsmen. Xiang Zhuang stared at them for a moment and couldn't help but sigh, how much manpower and material resources were needed to make these pottery figurines. It is said that

, each pottery figurine has a weapon in hand, this is really a waste, these weapons should be given to yourself, at this time, Chu State can be revived in advance.

Xiang Zhuang pondered for a moment and couldn't help laughing at himself. He pulled his thoughts back and looked at Fusu and others who were looking at him not far away. Xiang Zhuang quickly got on his horse and said with a smile: "These terracotta warriors are so special."

Fusu helplessly replied: "These mercenaries are for burial."

Xiang Zhuang pretended to be surprised and sighed: "If he is buried with mercenaries, I think the underground palace will be very grand."

Fusu didn't want to continue talking, so he had to change the topic, pointed forward with his riding crop, and said with a smile: "Let's continue on our way. Xianyang is still some distance away from here. If we don't leave as soon as possible, I'm afraid we won't arrive until the afternoon."

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and everyone rode their horses to Xianyang. At this time, Fusu thought of his recruitment hall and couldn't help but smile: "I am eager to return to Xianyang this time for two main reasons. The first is to calm down Lu Sheng as much as possible."

Second, the storm brought about by the escape is to set up a recruiting hall. In fact, with Xiang's martial arts skills, he can get an official position in the recruiting hall, honor his ancestors, and receive a salary from the court, which is far better than you can do in the countryside.

How much better."

After hearing Fusu's words, Xiang Zhuang could not help but sneer, but he did not show his expression on his face. If we talk about the history of the late Qin Dynasty, I am afraid that no one in the world knows this period better than himself, and the so-called Talent Recruitment Hall,

I am afraid that it will close down or disappear because of something, otherwise once the recruitment hall is established, Fusu will definitely have a place in the court. If Fusu can ascend the throne, then how could the Qin Kingdom be destroyed in the hands of Hu Hai?

Thinking of Fusu's gracious promise to help him this time, Xiang Zhuang felt an indescribable feeling of gratitude in his heart. Xiang Zhuang felt that he needed to remind Fusu that one day Zhao Gao would tamper with the imperial edict and help Hu Hai ascend the throne.

Paper edicts forced Fusu to death, framed brothers Meng Tian and Mengyi, and eradicated Fusu's party members. I hope that none of this will happen.

Xiang Zhuang thought for a moment, sorted out his words, and looked up. Fusu was also looking at him, wondering what he was thinking. After the two looked at each other for a moment, Xiang Zhuang said: "If one day, the young master is sent to

Go to the north to guard the border. I hope that the young master can stick to his beliefs as always and never harm his future with just a piece of edict."

Xiang Zhuang's unclear words made Fusu confused. He was just about to ask, but Xiang Zhuang hurriedly changed the subject, pointed in the direction of Xianyang, and said with a smile: "Young Master holds a recruitment hall to recruit celebrities from all over the world.

We admire him for his far-sighted vision to solve the sufferings of the people and consolidate political stability."

Fusu couldn't help laughing when he mentioned the recruitment hall. If the recruitment hall could be successfully held and his father approved, he would definitely suppress Zhao Gao with all his strength in the next step. If he didn't kill this thief, he would not be able to express his hatred. So he was immersed in Fusu.

In the midst of his endless reverie, Xiang Zhuang suddenly pounced on him, shouting: "Be careful!"

The two fell off the horse together, and everyone around them was in chaos. Many people drew their swords and wanted to come to rescue them, but at this moment, a crossbow arrow roared over and passed through Fusu's position just now.

, nailed straight to the tree trunk nearby, the feathers were still trembling, Xiang Zhuang had already helped Fu Su up, walked over, and pulled out the crossbow arrow. The arrowhead was purple and black. Xiang Zhuang shouted: "Be careful.

,This arrow is poisonous!"

Everyone pulled out their long swords and prepared for battle. Xiang Zhuang took the horse and was about to get on the horse. However, he found that not far away, a black shadow flashed across the jungle. Xiang Zhuang had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the sun bow in his right hand.

He picked up an iron arrow with his left hand. In the blink of an eye, the iron arrow whizzed out and went straight into the woods. After a scream, a man in black fell from the tree.

Ziying and Su Jiao shouted: "Protect the young master!"

At the same moment, in the woods, more than a hundred men in black had come out on horseback, heading straight to kill everyone. Dozens of crossbow arrows also fired at the same time, shooting like raindrops. Xiang Zhuang put down his bow and arrows and pulled Fu Su.

, hiding in the belly of the war horse. Soon, the war horse neighed twice in pain, and was pierced by crossbow arrows. It fell into a pool of blood like a hedgehog.

The crossbow attack had stopped, and hundreds of men in black rushed straight to Fusu to kill them, but Su Jiao, Xiang Sheng, Ziying and others, accompanied by Fusu, stood on the outside. Xiang Zhuang picked up the Yanri Bow and praised it.

On the waist, the right hand has been angrily pulled out//A red shadow is guarding Fusu, preparing to fight to the death.

But at this moment, a man in black came from the right. He jumped off his horse and rushed towards Fusu. Xiang Zhuang could see all this from the corner of his eye. He turned around at an extremely fast speed and roared, using both hands.

He caught the assassin and carried him out. The assassin grunted and struggled on the ground, but could no longer stand up.

But the storm did not stop. After all, the peripheral defense was limited. A steady stream of assassins rushed in. Seeing that Shusun Tong was about to be buried by the assassins, Xiang Zhuang quickly took out his feather arrow and aimed at the assassin at the front. He shot the arrow instantly.

// came out, roaring in the air. Due to excessive force, the arrows came out from the man's body and nailed the man behind him to the tree trunk.

Shusun Tong had recovered from the panic at this time. He quickly ran towards Xiang Zhuang and Fu Su's position, and the assassin came without hesitation on his horse. Xiang Zhuang, Fu Su and others retreated to an old tree.

, At this time, there was no way out, and the remaining four iron arrows on Xiang Zhuang's body became the last line of defense for the three of them. With three "swish, swish, swish" sounds, the feather arrows whizzed out, and the three assassins were shot off their horses.

Xiang Zhuang drew his bow like a full moon, but the assassin had already approached on horseback, and the bow and arrow had lost its effect. At the critical moment, Xiang Zhuang shot one person indiscriminately, waved his red shadow, and rushed into the crowd.

Shusun Tong was trembling with fear, but Fusu remained calm and shouted: "Brother Xiang, be careful!"

Just when Fusu was distracted, a sword suddenly struck Fusu. Fusu was not prepared. Seeing that the bronze sword was about to stab Fusu, Xiang Zhuang made a move with a horse to trample the flying swallow, turned around and opened the bronze sword. At the critical moment,

Su Jiao came on horseback and laughed: "Brother Xiang, don't panic, Su Jiao is here!"

Soon, Su Jiao rushed in, and the men in black gradually became exhausted. The battle situation was controlled. Ziying and others also surrounded him from the outside. The men in black were killed and retreated. When they came, Xiang Zhuang picked up a stone and threw it out.

One of the men in black was knocked down. Ziying also used a jade pendant to knock down one of the men. Several of his followers rushed forward and subdued the two men in black.

At this time, Fusu and Shusun Tong had recovered from their panic and looked at the corpses on the ground. More than ten of Fusu's personal followers were also dead. In anger, Fusu shouted: "Bring the assassins here, I will."

You have to interrogate yourself."

At this time, a personal attendant rushed over and said helplessly: "Sir, the assassin had taken poison when he came, and now... he bit the poison sac and committed suicide."

After hearing the news, everyone looked at each other. It seems that these people are professional killers. Their purpose is very clear, to kill Fusu, otherwise, they will be silenced.

...

With the sudden assassination, Fusu no longer had the idea of ​​staying away from the court situation and waiting to see what happens. His opponent had already reached his doorstep. If Fusu did not respond, he would be completely conquered by his opponent.

Horses galloped all the way, and everyone rushed back to Xianyang three hours later. Xiang Zhuang's identity was very embarrassing. After all, he couldn't go in and out of Xianyang too conspicuously, so he asked Su Jiao to take Xiang Zhuang back to his mansion.

Then he rode with Ziying and Shusun towards Xianyang Palace.

It was almost noon, and the morning court had not yet started. Because the Lu Sheng case was too involved, Zhang Han, the young governor, was worried about many things and still refused to let go. The First Emperor was extremely dissatisfied with this and reprimanded Zhao Gao many times. Zhao Gao was also very angry.

Annoyed, perhaps, he had taken this matter too hastily, or he had too much hope for Zhang Han. He had to find someone who could handle the matter smoothly. From this, Zhao Gao set his sights on Li Si.

But this matter cannot be mentioned in the court for the time being. At this time, Zhao Gao just wants to wait for the First Emperor to retire, and then go to find out what Li Si has to say. Moreover, Fusu returns to Beijing today, and he has a big gift to dedicate to Fusu.

At this time, news that should shock the government and the public has come back. As long as Fusu dies, Zhao Gao will have nothing to worry about in this court.

But just when Zhao Gao was deep in thought, the courtiers shouted from outside the palace door: "Master Fusu, uncle Ziying, and uncle Suntong, the doctor to be elected, see you outside the palace..."

Zhao Gao's heart tightened, Fusu was not dead, but Zhao Gao's surprise was only for a moment. He quickly adjusted his mentality and turned to look at the First Emperor. The First Emperor nodded slightly, and Zhao Gao shouted loudly: "Xuan Fusu, Yingzi

Ying, Shusun Tong enters the palace."

Soon, the three of them strode into Xianyang Palace, came to the center of the hall, and saluted one after another. At this time, the First Emperor laughed loudly: "My lords, please make peace."

Fu Su stood up, bowed his hands and said, "I have something to tell you. I hope my father will make the decision for me."

Seeing Fusu's serious expression, the First Emperor felt a little doubtful and wanted to retreat. Now that Fusu had returned, he laughed and said, "What's the matter, Your Majesty? Let me tell you."

"My subject was assassinated by hundreds of men in black within the jurisdiction of Neishi. I had to save my life only with the help of the emperor's uncle, Su Jiao and others. However, this happened near Xianyang, and I was worried. Why did our Qin Dynasty come to this?

Please investigate this matter strictly!" Fusu bowed his hands and bowed again. At this time, the First Emperor's face turned livid. He glared at everyone in the court, who was so frightened that they all knelt down in fear: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

After a brief silence, the First Emperor gave a loud order: "Prime Minister Wang Wan, Internal Secretary Jia Hong, Tingwei Li Si, Xianyang Ling Yan Le, I don't care what method you use, within ten days, I want to see the truth. You understand."

Is it done?"
