Chapter 655: The King of Qi returns to Qi (continued)
Chapter 650 The King of Qi returns to Qi (continued)
Outside the city of PY, King Qi's car was flying with flags fluttering in the wind. The huge motorcade was moving in an orderly manner along the relatively smooth road to the northeast. After another two or three hundred miles, they would arrive.
The Qin-Qi border is here.
In the blink of an eye, ten months have passed since the assassination of Huang He.
Regarding Ying Zheng's failure to increase the number of troops to protect himself, Qi Wang Jian happily said nothing and only said that it would be arranged by the Qin State.
As a result, the fleet has generally maintained its previous size, with just about a hundred more people.
However, none of these more than a hundred people are good people. There are the elite Shadow Guards that Zhang Han urgently mobilized, and there are also a large number of high-level killers from Luowang, including two Tianzi first-class assassins who have not arrived before. In this regard, Duanshui felt that he had been tricked. His two colleagues definitely did not arrive late, but were arranged to arrive after the assassination.
Of course, knowing everything in his heart, Duanshui will not complain, nor dare to complain. Shutting up and pretending to be stupid is his only choice.
After the assassination, no one dared to let King Qi cross the river rashly. The only few times, Zhang Han asked the Shadow Secret Guard to check the surrounding environment again and again, including the bottom of the water!
A few days ago, after crossing the Qinjin Ferry, the last water trip on the return journey was completely completed. Next, we only have to go to Liaocheng to directly enter Qi State.
As for the way back to Qi, it's not for them, Qin soldiers, to worry about it.
Gu Xun and Zhang Han remained on horseback as usual, following the convoy leisurely and walking leisurely.
"The roads near PY City are much better." Gu Xun sat loosely on his horse and chatted lazily with Zhang Han.
The road in this era... can only be said to be a dead end.
Although the Qin State attaches great importance to road construction, after all, it is related to the speed of sending troops, but after all, the materials and manpower are limited, and it can only cover a small area.
As far as Gu Xun knows, Ying Zheng has already had the idea of building a Chidao that runs through the country from east to west, from north to south, but it has not been decided yet, and he will not be able to enjoy it for a while.
The hilly road in Hanoi County made him feel very anxious. Although he was not afraid of the friction on his thighs, he didn't like it either.
When I went out with Yan Lingji before and walked slowly in a carriage, I didn't feel much at all. Now I'm riding a horse, and the difference is immediately apparent.
All I can say is that it’s really not possible to have a horse.
Zhang Han smiled in agreement, "Since the Wei Kingdom was over a hundred years ago, this land of PY was the only one left, and the business is indeed good."
"It's a pity that... it was still damaged a lot by military disasters."
"Not bad, much better than before." Gu Xun squinted his eyes, looking lazy and not wanting to talk, but also bored.
"We've talked about PY, what's next?"
Zhang Han didn't think much and replied, "Ma Ling, the first generation of Juancheng County."
"Hey, it's quite a famous place." After hearing this, Gu Xun sighed with a smile.
Zhang Han glanced at the almost invisible motorcade in the distance, lowered his head and smiled, "Yes, in the past, Sun Bin of the Guigu faction planned to kill his fellow sect, General Pang Juan of Wei, here."
Then Zhang Han added, "I will remember that Senior Sun Bin seems to be a native of Juancheng County."
"Is it such a coincidence?" Gu Xun didn't know about this, so he followed with interest.
"The general must have remembered correctly." Zhang Han nodded and affirmed.
Gu Xun couldn't help but smacked his lips, "This is really... fate, so wonderful."
Is this fate?
Gu Xun felt the horses bumping step by step, and his thoughts were a little distracted.
He remembered an interesting place - the sand dunes.
It seems that all the heroes of the Zhao family died here.
Shaking his head, Gu Xun recovered his thoughts, and then asked, "After passing Maling, we will be approaching the border, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Han nodded, "After Maling, go north and you'll reach Liaocheng."
Gu Xun nodded and murmured, "That should be almost done."
There are border troops stationed at the border. Once you get close to the border, the border troops will come to pick you up, but then you can't do anything.
"Have you got any information now?" After having a rough idea, Gu Xun looked up at Zhang Han again and asked.
"Uh..." Zhang Han pondered for a moment and then replied, "What is certain is that there are only the Chu State's national mourners and the Wei State's Armored Sect. As for Yan and Zhao, it seems that they have no intention of intervening."
South Korea was automatically ignored by Zhang Han, and Gu Xun had no intention of asking.
South Korea? South Korea just wants to do something, but what can it do? Just lie down and die.
"Where's the farmhouse?" Gu Xun mumbled and asked casually after hearing this.
"Uh... the farmer probably won't interfere." Zhang Han secretly glanced at his boss and replied with a slight stomachache.
The farmer was beaten half to death by your own hands, and he is still recuperating. You asked me... don’t you want to torture the farmer again?
Gu Xun ignored Zhang Han's gaze. He just asked casually to pass the time, "What about the Mo family?"
Zhang Han shook his head, "The Mohists are also silent. They believe in non-attack, and generally will not participate in such assassination operations that can cause war... Even if they come, they will most likely protect King Qi."
This time it was Gu Xun's turn to glance at Zhang Han.
If you don’t know how to assassinate, that’s not necessarily true...
Zhang Han didn't understand what Gu Xun meant, so he coughed and continued speaking on his own initiative without waiting for Gu Xun to ask questions:
"Except for Nong Mo, among the hundreds of sects, the Taoist Tian Sect ignores worldly affairs. The Human Sect, although not close to our country, Da Qin, will not assassinate the king."
"Other sects should not participate in such a sensitive operation."
"Really?" Gu Xun smacked his lips, showing a look of embarrassment, "This is going to be a bit difficult, because there aren't enough people."
"Zhang Han, you said that if I capture the soldiers who died in the National War and the armored sect, and then ask for ransom money, can I get it? How much can I ask for?"
"This..." Zhang Han opened his mouth, but couldn't answer for a while.
Even if such a traitor is caught, he should be handed over to the state for trial...
Gu Xun did not rush him, but looked at him quietly, waiting for the answer.
"What do you mean?" Gu Xun asked, "It's okay if they don't care about the ordinary cannon fodder, but what about the masters, especially the top ones?"
Zhang Han pursed his lips and explained helplessly, "What they want to do is to assassinate the king and kill the driver. It is a very unethical act. In theory, they are just and must be a group of vicious gangsters with no power, and
You can’t have anything to do with your own power.”
"Even if Wei and Chu wanted to redeem their people, they could not do so."
"Redeeming people is equivalent to admitting that you sent people to assassinate the King of Qi, which will inevitably provoke revenge from the Qi State... and I, the Qin Dynasty."
"Hiss..." Gu Xun took a breath and his face turned even more ugly.
Damn it, he actually forgot about this.
And Concubine Yan...and Zhang Han, you knew my plan, but you didn't remind me earlier!
Money and silk are so attractive that Gu Xun’s brain is blocked!
? ?I shouldn’t have been lazy yesterday, but I have diarrhea today...
