Chapter 36 Interpretation of Tattoo Cloth
In the early morning, Zhao Gao was awakened from his sleep. He hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the front hall. When a man in black saw Zhao Gao, he knelt on one knee and put his right hand on his chest: "I have seen Zhao Gao before."
grown ups."
This is the spy he secretly sent to Fusu Mansion. I wonder what good news his return will bring. Zhao Gao couldn't help but sneered and walked to the table to sit down. At this time, a soldier brought tea
, put it in front of Zhao Gao, bowed and left. Zhao Gao opened the lid of the tea and took a sniff. The fragrance hit his nose, and a refreshing feeling spread throughout his body. Zhao Gao felt that he was much more energetic. He couldn't help but squint his eyes.
He smiled at the man in black and said, "Do you have any good news for me?"
The man in black took off his mask. He was a young man in his twenties with a burly build. At this time, he stood up and came to Zhao Gao. He bowed and said, "Sir, I heard that Mr. Fusu wanted to ask for help from Meng Yi, so I decided to
Investigate the assassin’s affairs secretly.”
When Zhao Gao heard the word Meng Yi, he couldn't help laughing. Meng Tian was not his opponent, let alone Meng Yi. There would only be one more unjust ghost. Thinking of this, Zhao Gao stared at the man in black and said: "There are other
Of?"
The man in black shook his head. He couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the house. He could only hear some information from the window. This was stolen at great risk.
After a brief silence, Zhao Gao nodded and said with a smile: "You did a good job. I want to reward you. You go down and receive the reward."
A government soldier stepped forward and took the man in black away. Zhao Gao watched the man in black leave the living room, then he stood up straight and yawned. It was already dawn, and Zhao Gao felt sleepy.
Wu, took two steps inside the house, looked at the government soldiers at the door and ordered: "Go and find Zhao Cheng."
The soldiers made a promise and left. Zhao Gao walked to the window and opened it. The early autumn morning was extremely cold. A gust of cold wind came in. Zhao Gao couldn't help but shudder. At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside.
Zhao Gao had no choice but to close the window and turned around to see that Zhao Cheng had arrived in a hurry.
"Brother, is there anything urgent you want to see me for?" Zhao Cheng walked into the house and asked with his fists clasped. At this time, Zhao Gao sneered and asked: "Fusu wants to thoroughly investigate the assassination. This is also my weakness. Those few days
How did you deal with the assassin?"
Zhao Cheng sighed softly and murmured: "Brother, after the assassination of Fusu that day, thirty-nine assassins survived. I have executed them secretly, but there is still one who participated in the assassination of Wang Wan, just because we paid first
After paying the deposit, he disappeared without a trace..."
After Zhao Cheng finished speaking, Zhao Gao was furious and roared: "Why don't you send someone to find him quickly!"
"There is already news. I heard that he has returned to his hometown. I have sent people to arrest him." Zhao Cheng whispered. At this time, there was a crisp sound and Zhao Gao slapped him and said angrily: "Go there yourself.
, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die, if there is even the slightest mistake, you and I will not survive!"
Zhao Cheng vaguely felt the seriousness of the situation. He did not dare to delay, bowed and left quickly.
Zhao Gao was the only one left in the room. He looked at the tea that was gradually getting cold on the table and couldn't help but sigh. He was only one step away from success. He hoped that no one would catch him//with any clues, otherwise, the Zhao family would not be able to escape.
The disaster of clan execution...
...
At the foot of Mount Li, Xiang Zhuang once again came to the kiln factory that produces terracotta warriors and horses. As usual, the craftsmen here fired the terracotta warriors repeatedly every day, but each terracotta warrior was different.
Built to look like the most elite troops.
Passing through the kiln area, Xiangzhuang rode his horse on the mountain road. At this time, the sun had slightly emerged, and the warmth returned to the earth. The laborers had not yet come out to work. The surroundings were very quiet, but the mountain road was vaguely visible, with mottled bloodstains and
From the traces of vehicles, it can be seen that the life of the corvees was not easy.
After crossing the Huangling District, Xiang Zhuang came to the military camp. At this time, a large number of troops were rushing back and forth outside the military camp. This was the rhythm of the upcoming work. In the camp, groups of soldiers were patrolling back and forth. Soon, they saw soldiers coming.
In Xiangzhuang, several soldiers raised their halberds and gathered around. One of the leading officers shouted: "Who! How dare you break into the military camp!"
Xiang Zhuang took out Fusu's token from his arms, raised it above his head, and shouted: "My lord, here is the token. If there is something urgent, I need to visit General Meng Yi. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be killed by the army!"
Several soldiers saw that the token in Xiang Zhuang's hand was a unicorn pattern. They knew that Xiang Zhuang was not easy to mess with, so they all gave way. Xiang Zhuang rode his horse and continued to the top of the mountain. Because this section of the mountain road was steep, Xiang Zhuang's speed also slowed down.
It's a lot, but it's not far from the top of the mountain, and you can vaguely hear the sound of soldiers training and running on the top of the mountain.
After walking for a while, Xiang Zhuang jumped off his horse, held the reins, and walked slowly towards the military camp not far away. This military camp was where Meng Yi's garrison was located. Xiang Zhuang also stayed here when he visited Fusu last time.
One night, I met Meng Yi.
Just entering Dazhai, not far away, there was the sound of whipping, and a man's dull grunting sound. He immediately remembered that this was the army whipping prisoners. Xiang Zhuang originally wanted to lead the horse and move forward to avoid causing trouble, but the sound of whipping
One sound was louder than the other, but the man who was beaten was still patient. Xiang Zhuang vaguely felt that this was a resolute man.
With curiosity, Xiang Zhuang walked around the mountain and came to the place where prisoners were whipped. A man was tied upside down to a wooden stake. His body was covered with whip marks and blood stains. If he were beaten, he would definitely die.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but take action. He took off the sun bow from the saddle, took out an iron arrow from the quiver, aimed at the rope that bound the man, pulled the bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow.
He went and shot the rope, causing the man to fall headfirst to the ground.
Everyone was stunned. Xiang Zhuang led the horse, walked slowly, and shouted in a cold voice: "If you fight, he will die!"
The whip-swinging officer suddenly changed his color, and more than twenty Qin soldiers beside him also surrounded him. Soon, Xiangzhuang was trapped. The officer sneered disdainfully: "Where did this young boy come from?"
This frivolous behavior made Xiang Zhuang furious. He hung the sun bow back on his horse, pointed at the officer and cursed: "Do you dare to underestimate me?"
The officer became interested and said with a smile: "If you don't leave, I will kill you!"
In anger, Xiang Zhuang kicked out the officer, hitting him in the jaw. The officer was kicked away and blood spattered everywhere. More than 20 Qin soldiers came to kill him angrily from all around. Some of them were holding long swords, and some were holding weapons.
Holding halberds, some drew out long swords, with ferocious faces, but the man who was beaten and dying reluctantly got up, cupped his hands and said: "Little brother, thank you for your help, these dogs can't be broken into pieces.
Damn it, please run away for your life."
As soon as the man finished speaking, three swords were stabbing at him. Xiang Zhuang dodged, drew out the red shadow from his horse, waved to block, and swept his legs with a plan, tripping the person in front of him, but did not wave.
Instead of slashing with the sword, he kicked the people on the ground away and knocked down several people running towards him.
There were screams, and at this moment, Xiang Zhuang's red shadow flashed across and blocked a large halberd that was about to stab him. In the distance, a middle-aged man's hearty scolding sounded: "Stop it!"
A middle-aged man walked over quickly. He looked at several defeated Qin soldiers. He wanted to get angry, but then he saw Xiang Zhuang holding a red shadow. This young man had stayed here with Fusu for one night, and
, Fusu also mentioned him. It seemed that he was very capable and was highly appreciated by Fusu.
Meng Yi couldn't help laughing loudly, pointing at the knocked down Qin soldiers in front of him, and scolded: "Get out of here, you bunch of trash!"
Several Qin soldiers helped the officer who was kicked with blood on his face and left quickly. At this time, Meng Yi came to Xiang Zhuang, raised his hands and said with a smile: "Are you sent by Mr. Fusu?"
Xiang Zhuang returned the greeting and said with a smile: "Xiang Zhuang, see General Meng Yi."
Meng Yilang smiled and helped Xiang Zhuang up, pretending to scold: "Don't call me general, I am Mr. Meng."
At this time, Meng Yi found a man beside him who had been beaten and bruised all over. It seemed that Xiang Zhuang's action was related to him, and asked with a smile: "Did you take action for him?"
Xiang Zhuang nodded and asked, "What crime did he commit? Should he be beaten to death?"
Meng Yi looked displeased at the Qin Bing on the side. The man hurriedly handed over his hands and replied: "Yesterday, this man wanted to abscond, but was caught and punished with whipping."
After Qin Bing finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Can Master Meng spare his life?"
When Meng Yi saw Xiang Zhuang begging for mercy, he couldn't help but become interested and laughed: "Tell me, why do you want to save him?"
"I don't know, I just think he is a man." Xiang Zhuang cupped his hands and smiled, while Meng Yi laughed happily: "Okay, since Brother Xiang has spoken, I will give you this face."
Xiang Zhuang smiled and bowed his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Master Meng. The young master has a secret message for me to bring to you. We might as well talk somewhere else."
Meng Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Go to my tent."
The two slowly walked towards the camp on the top of the mountain. Several Qin soldiers walked over, picked up the man and were about to take him away. At this time, the middle-aged man laughed loudly: "I wonder what your name is, little brother? If there is a chance in the future,
, I will definitely pay back double the amount.”
"My name is Xiang Zhuang. It's nothing to do with my hands. You should take good care of your injuries." Xiang Zhuang waved his hands and smiled, but it was the man who refused to give in. He still held his fists and laughed: "I have never served anyone in my life. Since Xiang Bu
Brother Zhuang, save my life, and my life will be yours. If there is any need, I am willing to help you to the death!"
Qing Bu was taken away by several Qin soldiers, but Xiang Zhuang paused. Is the person in front of him the famous Qing Bu in history? A very brave general in the late Qin Dynasty, but his downfall was Xiang Zhuang.
It was unexpected. He would never have thought that he would meet this person in such a place. However, Meng Yi and others had already walked away at this time. Xiang Zhuang retracted his thoughts and chased after him.
...
In the big tent, Xiang Zhuang and Meng Yi sat opposite each other. Xiang Zhuang was holding a teacup and sipping tea carefully, while Meng Yi was holding a bamboo slip and looking at it carefully. Soon, Meng Yi finally finished reading the bamboo slip.
, put the bamboo slips on the table, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "It is really inconvenient for me to intervene in this matter. Besides, Zhao Gao is extremely cunning. He will definitely send someone to monitor the Lishan construction site. If I make any move,
It will definitely alarm him and nothing will be gained."
"According to your wishes, what should we do?" Xiang Zhuang asked doubtfully.
After a brief silence, Meng Yi wandered in the tent. Finally, he said decisively: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated without Zhao Gao's defense. In my opinion, Brother Xiang can be repatriated secretly and surprise Zhao Gao."
If you start investigating, you will definitely gain something."
In the end, Meng Yi kicked the ball to himself. Xiang Zhuang shook his head helplessly. Now that things have come to this point, he must help Fusu. Whether he succeeds or fails, he can only leave it to fate. Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang nodded and smiled: "
Since Mr. Meng likes me so much, I will return to Xianyang tonight."
After a pause, Xiang Zhuang said again: "But I don't have help around me, so it's difficult to accomplish anything. If Sir Meng won't give up, can you lend me the tattoo cloth?"
