Regarding the journey back to Xianyang, they followed Ge Nie's plan. According to him, it would take them about ten days to reach the border between Qin and Han.
Now Lu Yan has a rough map of the Seven Kingdoms in his mind, but he is not familiar with the mountains and terrain between Qin and Han, so he naturally has no objection to this.
He knew that no matter what route he took to return to Xianyang, it would be almost the same.
According to the previous mobilization of the Qin army, the action was too fast. There are two possibilities:
Thinking on the bright side, Chen Bing told South Korea at the border that my king is going to your house to play, so be careful with your hospitality, otherwise the Qin cavalry will do something to you.
Thinking about the worst, it was Chen Bing's plan that blocked Ying Zheng's return.
The former is not very tenable. South Korean officials did not know that Ying Zheng was coming. Who did Chen Bing warn, Han Fei? Han Fei would definitely be able to keep Ying Zheng?
The latter is very likely.
This is what Lu Yan has never understood about Ying Zheng coming to Korea. Without the aura of history, you are definitely dead. As a king, you are too willful.
Now, the soldiers and horses stationed on the border between Qin and South Korea must all have people from the other side. Who this opponent is is not yet certain. Lu Buwei, who was arrested by both the military and the government, is highly suspicious.
Of course, it is too early to talk about this, so let’s continue talking about Ying Zheng’s return journey.
Now, it is already the afternoon of the tenth day, and the sun is still somewhat bright and has not yet set in the west.
"Puff puff~~"
Countless birds flew up in the woods, plucking the strings that had been tense for everyone.
The thirteen people immediately drew their swords to be alert, Mo Crow and Bai Feng were already guarding both sides of the carriage.
Dian Wei, Su Lie, Wu Shuang, three rough men tentatively approached the woods.
"Who is it? How dare you trespass into the Qin army's territory!"
A general emerged from the jungle, wearing silver and black armor and a mask. The gun in his hand pointed at the carriage of Lu Yan and his party.
There are four short crossbows on the trees and in the grass, with arrows ready.
Everyone kept their vigilance in their own directions and ignored the scout captain. Only Genie activated the "Sword Master's Gaze", and the other party was immediately frightened and retreated.
"Hey~" Li Si came down and the messenger showed his identity.
The scout captain got off his horse and bowed his hands towards Li Si, "May I ask if you are the envoy of the Qin Dynasty, Sir Li Si?"
"Exactly."
Four scouts also came out of hiding and saluted Li Si.
Li Si lowered his head to the car window and said to Ying Zheng, "They are border soldiers."
The scout captain looked at Li Si's respectful look, and then remembered that Li Si seemed to be the one driving the car just now. This...
He immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Greetings to the King!" The other four people knelt down almost at the same time.
Ying Zheng asked in the carriage: "Where is the pass ahead and who is guarding it?"
"Your Majesty, in front of you is Wu Sui at the border gate, and the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army led by the Zuo Shu Chief Wang Yan is stationed there."
"General Wang Ye?" Ying Zheng sat with his eyes closed and thought for a moment, then said, "Take me there."
"yes!"
Li Si warned the five scouts to stay on the ground, "This trip is confidential, and the identity of the king must not be revealed. Anyone who violates this will be killed."
"yes."
He looked at the five people and added, "From now on, I will address the king as Mr. Shang."
"yes."
The carriage followed the scouts and everyone returned to normal.
Wang Ye?
At this time, Lu Yan was no longer new to this world, and he only knew Lord Xinling. During the three years he lived in Confucianism, in order to write a book, he consulted countless classics from ancient times to the Warring States Period.
The princes, nobles, civil servants and generals also all knew it well.
Wang Jue, a famous general of the Qin State, was once the deputy general of Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, and had great military exploits.
In the year when Lord Xinling joined forces to break through Meng'ao, he conquered Shangdang, but no news was heard after that.
When I followed the scouts back to the camp, it was almost sunset. Under the twilight of the Qin army camp, the drill shouts of the soldiers could be heard from inside, the sound was loud and powerful.
The thick iron rope was pulled, and the gate of the military camp slowly opened, and everyone entered. They saw countless ordnance arrays, exuding a chill, and the soldiers were practicing, and every move was filled with murderous intent.
Ying Zheng opened the curtains, looked at the military formations that were being drilled, and praised with a smile: "To calm down thousands of armies, only one with heavy armor. The Pingyang heavy armor army is indeed the elite of our Great Qin Dynasty, and the killing spirit is clearly visible."
Li Si leaned his back a little and said: "It is said that General Wang Jue is very strict in running the army. He led the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army to go through three generations of Qin kings and fight on the battlefield for a long time. He attacked Changping, captured Wu'an, captured Pi Lao, and captured Shangdang.
, with outstanding military exploits."
A brilliant battle? Lu Yan suffered a myocardial infarction while watching.
General Wang Yan's Pingyang Heavy Armor Army has experienced three generations of kings, just like when he heard about the Meng Family's Golden Fire Cavalry, it sounded like a private army.
Another example is the White Armor Army of Snow Clothes Castle.
It would be very awkward for the future First Emperor's subordinates to have such a title that sounds like a private army.
Forget it, the world was different in the Qin Dynasty after all, I can bear it.
At this time, Gai Nie's words were full of vigilance and spread to everyone, "After capturing Shangdang, General Wang Jue and the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army have been stationed in the Taiyuan area all year round. Now they suddenly went to the border between Qin and South Korea to guard Wu Sui.
There must be something hidden in this matter, so be careful.”
Wait a minute, Wang Yan, stationed in Taiyuan all year round——
Taiyuan!!!
Changxin Hou Lao Ai's fiefdom was in Taiyuan, and was even called "Ai State". Wang Jue had been stationed in Taiyuan for seven or eight years, so it is not impossible that these two people would be involved.
Lu Yan took a long breath, this was a big surprise.
He had thought that there would be people from the other side in the military camp, but the highest general in the camp, Wang Yan, was most likely from the other side, which was a bit much.
The Pingyang Heavy Armor Army was the elite that Wang Jue had controlled for so many years. Even if the soldiers of the Qin State were loyal to the King of Qin, there was no telling how many of the enemy's confidants were in the military camp.
This trip is very bad.
Lu Yan's head started spinning rapidly.
"My subordinates will inform the general immediately."
The scout captain rode forward on his fast horse alone and broke away from the convoy.
…
Xinzheng, South Korea, Lenggong
There is a lake here, and in the middle of the lake there is a tree with pink and purple flowers in full bloom.
Wei Zhuang was leaning on a slightly curved tree trunk. His sword-like eyes were unusually lifeless and seemed to be lost in thought.
Finally, his eyes moved, "You're here."
Princess Honglian was approaching quietly when she was stopped by him. She smiled awkwardly and felt a little aggrieved, "I still want to scare you~"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Zhuang walked up to Honglian and stared into the girl's eyes, "You'd better be clear about the decision you made today."
"I know very well that I don't want to accept your protection all the time, brother, Zi Nu, Xiao Liangzi, and you." Honglian lowered his head, his voice was very soft and slow.
Suddenly, she clenched her fists and shouted at Wei Zhuang: "I must join Quicksand, and I must protect you, too."
"Whoops~"
Wei Zhuang showed out the Chain Snake Sword. Without using any force, it lay soft on the ground like a snake. Each blade had a red heart shape in the center, and when connected together, it looked like a beautiful red snake.
He handed the sword out with one hand and said: "This sword suits you very well. I have a friend who uses it well. It swings like a dance."
Honglian's concentration was amazing, and she immediately asked: "Friends? Male or female?"
"female."
She looked at the chain sword and suddenly found that Wei Zhuang had another hand behind his back. Her eyes widened and she asked expectantly: "What is your other hand?"
Wei Zhuang took out a knife with an expressionless expression.
Honglian opened her seductive red lips and exclaimed: "Ah~"
The end of the handle is engraved with the head of a phoenix bird. The jasper embellishments are the eyes of the phoenix bird. The pointed beak seems to make people hear the cry of the phoenix bird.
The main body of the blade was white with mysterious red lines. Honglian recognized it as a depiction of a fire phoenix. The back of the blade had dark golden serrations, which was mysterious and noble.
Wei Zhuang continued to explain ruthlessly: "This knife also belongs to a friend of mine."
"Male or female?"
"male."
"Then I want this."
Honglian grabbed the knife from Wei Zhuang's hand. There was an inscription engraved on the front of the handle:
red lotus
Although it was not a Korean font, she still felt that it was written "Red Lotus" at a glance.
The girl covered her mouth and blurted out: "You made this friend up, right?"
Wei Zhuang couldn't control the corners of his mouth and quickly turned his back to prevent her from seeing his expression. Hong Lian was already immersed in boundless joy.
He raised his head and looked at the western sky: "Counting the days, it's time for you to reach the border. Don't die~"
