"Don't be afraid! Don't look outside! Don't look outside!"
When the ground rumbled, shaking the houses on both sides slightly, the people of Yongcheng stayed behind closed doors and silently prayed to God.
In the past ten years, the people of Yongcheng have been living in dire straits. How many people live in fear every day, fearing that they will encounter a follower of Lao Aui's subordinates and suffer an unreasonable disaster.
Therefore, when the envoys left and returned, and countless guests flocked to the royal city from all directions, the people spontaneously hid in their homes, hoping to survive this disaster, but did not dare to expect more.
They don't know that after today, everything will change.
"Report to the Weiwei, Lord Marquis ordered us to return to camp!"
On the other side, in the city defense army camp, thousands of people were reporting to the guards.
The military system of the Qin State is composed of five troops, two Wus are Shi, five Shis are Tuns, and two Tuns are hundreds. There are hundreds of generals, and the commanders of five hundred people are called Five Hundred Lords. The commanders of one thousand people are called Two Five Hundred Lords or Thousand People.
, already a mid-level officer, with considerable authority.
But the guard in front of him, Feng Jie, was one of the nine guards. He commanded the guards to guard the palace, and he was aloof.
As a confidant of Zhao Ji, this person was one of the people who rebelled with Lao Ai in history and was later beheaded.
"Confused! I have long warned that this mission was facilitated by all parties. Both the King and Prime Minister Lu are among them. If they are cut off halfway for the sake of beauty, there will be disaster!"
After hearing the complaints from thousands of people, Feng Jie immediately frowned, weighed the pros and cons, and shook his head: "No! Come with me!"
"Sir! We dare not disobey the Marquis's order!"
Thousands of people knelt down and trembled.
"Forget it! I won't embarrass you!"
Feng Jie did not force him, but summoned his disciples and led a thousand soldiers to march toward the royal city.
"What is that?"
As soon as they reached the long road, they saw huge shadows rumbling past and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers looked confused, and the one at the front couldn't help but rub his eyes. Feng Jie suddenly changed his face and exclaimed: "The public loser's machine beast? What is Lu Buwei going to do?"
His knowledge and strength are very comparable to others, and he can see at a glance that those giant figures are tiger-shaped machine beasts with smooth lines.
Mohist organs, wood and stone walking, bronze openings, ask the public to lose!
When it comes to weird and obscene skills, perhaps many skilled craftsmen can make some gadgets, but this kind of mechanical beast cannot be made by Mohists and Gongshu.
As for the senior officials of Da Qin, who didn't know that Gongshu had taken refuge with Lu Buwei, and many of the palaces in Xianyang today were built by him.
As for the Mohist family, their power is far away in Qilu, Yanzhao, and there is no way they can appear here.
So when he saw the machine beast, Feng Jie's first reaction was that Lu Buwei would take action, and his second reaction was to shout: "Stop!"
Whoosh!
The guards ordered them to stop immediately. Feng Jie did not dare to take risks himself. He summoned three retainers who were usually kind to him and could die for them, and issued an order: "Go and see what is happening in the royal city. No matter what, do not interfere.
Report back immediately!"
"yes!"
The doorman took the order and left.
There was a faint sound in the royal city, but it was too far away to hear clearly. Feng Jie's expression changed, but he waited patiently.
"grown ups!"
Before it was time to drink tea, the disciple who was the best in Qinggong and Shenqing came back to report, with fear in his voice: "There are ten machine beasts in total, surrounding the royal city and attacking. All the disciples of Marquis Changxin are trapped in them and are rushing out."
"What a big deal!"
Feng Jie's pupils shrank: "Let's explore again!"
"yes!"
Half an hour later, another disciple who was good at using strange and obscene skills came back: "The royal city has been breached. The machine beast is equipped with a repeating ballistae with a huge built-in crossbow arrow. The tail of the arrow is tied with a rope. After it is shot, it can be rolled up with a windlass."
, the machine beast used this to climb up and jump over the city wall, and is suppressing it with the revolving cannon!"
Feng Jie asked curiously: "What is a revolving cannon?"
The doorman said with lingering fear: "The rotary cannon is six feet long, and its base can be rotated. It is extremely flexible. Several of the top ten swordsmen under the Marquis have died from this crossbow!"
Feng Jie took a breath of cold air.
The continuous ballistae covers the killing, and the transmitter machine is designed to kill the masters. In advance, they are all introduced into the royal city through Feixue Pavilion. This is to kill them all!
"Explore again!"
Seeing Feng Jie waving his hands but still not moving, the close guard couldn't help but said: "Sir, just ten machine beasts can be defeated by us working together from the inside out. Can't we save the Marquis and the Queen Mother?"
"Don't worry! The Queen Mother's life is safe!"
Feng Jie's eyes flickered, and he said every word: "If Prime Minister Lu wants to attack Lao Ai, it will be difficult for us to stop him. Lao Ai's death is not a bad thing for me!"
Even Zhang Xinhou did not address him, which shows that Feng Jie had already sentenced Lao Ai to death in his heart.
In his heart, he actually looked down upon this person very much. The reason why he joined his service was entirely because he was an official of the Zhao family in Qin.
Ever since Qin Mugong ascended the throne and used foreign politicians such as Baili Xi, Jian Shu, Gong Sunzhi and others to make Qin rich and powerful, Qin officials came from all over the world and from all over the world, and their inclusiveness can be said to be the most inclusive among the seven countries.
However, no matter how tolerant they are, there are still frictions between outsiders and the old Qin people, so officials from other countries stick together to keep warm and form their own factions, such as the relatives of the Chu family.
The rise of the Zhao family began when Zhao Ji became queen, and Feng Jie, as Feng Ting's nephew, firmly supported her.
Feng Ting is a very interesting person. He is not from Zhao, but from Korea. He just joined the Zhao side and became the direct trigger of the Changping War.
At that time, Qin and Zhao were the two most powerful parties among the Seven Heroes. In fact, they did not want to fight to the death. Qin initially attacked Han.
South Korea is a weak chicken. How can it withstand the cavalry of Qin? It is retreating steadily on the front battlefield. Seeing that it is about to cede land and sue for peace, it comes up with a trick to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, and dedicates the land that was originally ceded to Qin to Zhao.
Feng Ting is the executor.
In order to convince the King of Zhao, he even yelled an ironclad sentence, telling him that he would rather die than serve the people of Qin!
As a result, South Korea deceived, Qin's hard work was in vain, and Zhao enjoyed its benefits. A war between Qin and Zhao involving all the power of the country broke out, and the Changping War began that lasted for three years and resulted in extremely heavy casualties.
After Feng Ting himself died in the battle, his family immediately threw themselves into the arms of the winner, the state of Qin.
After the Zhenxiang family entered the Qin Dynasty, they naturally suffered a lot of looks. If Feng Jie didn't stand in line, it would not be his turn to take the position of Jiuqing.
Both sides get what they need, but Lao Ai's swelling is getting bigger and bigger day by day. One day, the Zhao family will be dragged into doom and gloom. Feng Jie is secretly worried, but there is nothing he can do.
Now the opportunity has come.
Seeing the third guest return, Feng Jie's heart was in his throat and he couldn't wait to ask: "How is Marquis Changxin? How is the Queen Mother?"
A voice like a retainer sounded: "Sir, the machine beasts surrounded the royal city. The madmen under the command of the Marquis killed the master and were unfortunately killed. The Queen Mother fainted."
"quick!"
Feng Jie couldn't hold back his joy: "Follow me to protect the Queen Mother!"
The retainer looked hesitant when he heard this: "Sir, the Queen Mother has woken up, but she seems to have been stimulated and forgot about Chang Xinhou..."
