On the right side of Longlong, Lin Ze stood in an extremely inconspicuous courtyard. Kneeling in front of him was a group of lean men, all of whom were officers above the Qianhu level of the Jinyiwei stationed in the northwest region.
After Lin Ze came down from the mountain, he immediately called them over for questioning.
Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Everyone, get up. I've been away for two days. Will anything big happen?"
A group of lean men who had just stood up looked at each other in shock when they heard Lin Ze's words and did not dare to answer for a moment.
Lin Ze frowned slightly, pointed at a lean man with a scar on his face and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The scarred man's face turned pale, he carefully glanced at Lin Ze's face, and gritted his teeth and said: "My subordinates received news that three days ago, Li Si led an army of 500,000 people to suddenly rebel and rebel. Your Majesty was caught off guard and was completely defeated. Now Li Si has
Chang'an has been captured, all civil and military officials have surrendered, and His Majesty has disappeared, not knowing whether he is alive or dead."
Lin Ze's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "What did you say? Li Si rebelled, His Majesty disappeared, and Li Si has now taken control of Chang'an City? Where does Li Si have such courage?"
The man with the scar lowered his head slightly and said, "I dare not deceive you, sir. The information I received is indeed true. If you don't believe me, you can ask your colleagues here."
When the other lean men saw Lin Ze turning his eyes, they all nodded and said, "Reporting to your lord, Commander Xia is right. This is the news we have received."
Lin Ze's face darkened and he ordered: "Send over all the information about the Chang'an Incident. The more detailed the better."
All the men saluted in unison: "As you command."
Then piles of documents were carried to Lin Ze by this group of lean men who usually looked fierce.
Lin Ze picked up a small document that was pretending to be communicated in his mind, and scanned these documents.
Soon, what happened in Chang'an formed a complete context in Lin Ze's mind.
After roughly knowing the whole story, Lin Ze couldn't help but be speechless. Why did Hu Hai behave like everyone else had betrayed their relatives? The civil and military officials of the court, the imperial guards, and even the Ying family all sided with Li Si.
Lin Ze thought for a while and ordered: "Use all your means to pass the news to Wu Fan as quickly as possible and tell him that I want him to find His Majesty at all costs."
"Promise," all the lean men agreed with their hands.
Lin Ze gave the order, walked out of the yard, jumped up, and flew towards Hangu Pass.
There are two things he has to do right now. First, find Hu Hai and ensure that he is alive and well; second, lead an army to put down Li Si's rebellion.
Lin Ze had made up his mind to kill Li Si a long time ago. After breaking through the Grandmaster, he was still thinking about what kind of excuse he could find to justifiably kill Li Si. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to give him a perfect reason - rebellion.
As for going to Chang'an alone and waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Li Si, Lin Ze never thought about it.
Not to mention that in Chang'an City, Li Si controlled an army of 700,000 and countless unknown masters. Although Lin Ze had broken through the Grandmaster, after all, the Grandmaster's power was limited and he might not be able to withstand the consumption.
Besides, it has been a hundred or two hundred years since Li Sidu broke through to the Grandmaster realm. Compared to a new Grandmaster like Chen She, his martial arts cultivation is much more powerful. Who knows if he has any backup plans?
The best way to deal with it is to find Hu Hai, lead an army to attack Li Si in the name of the Emperor of Qin, and minimize your own risks as much as possible.
In Lin Ze's view, he is the only one who can make a comeback for Hu Hai now.
…
At Hangu Pass, a eunuch led a team of guards to the pass and said arrogantly: "Your Majesty has a decree. Please come out to receive it."
When the general guarding the city heard that the imperial edict was coming, he quickly arranged for soldiers to go and notify Han Xin.
After a while, the soldiers brought Han Xin's instructions, opened the city gate, and let the angels in.
The eunuch who delivered the order had been waiting outside the city for a while, and he was already a little impatient. When he saw the city gate opened, but no one greeted him, he immediately shouted:
"This Han Xin is so arrogant. We are here to convey the decree on behalf of His Majesty, but we don't even come out to greet him. When we come back, we have to take a good look at him in front of His Majesty."
What the eunuch who delivered the order didn't know was that his every move was watched by interested people.
The city guard general trotted up to the eunuch who delivered the order, secretly stuffed a stack of gold tickets over him, and said with a smile on his face: "My father-in-law, thank you for your hard work coming all the way. My general is kind to you, please don't take it too little."
The eunuch who delivered the order saw the number 100 printed on the top and a thick stack of gold tickets. A satisfied smile appeared on his face and he hummed to himself: "You know the truth, where is your general Han Xin?"
The general smiled and said: "The general is preparing a banquet in the palace, intending to welcome the father-in-law and wash away the dust."
A trace of confusion appeared on the face of the eunuch who delivered the order: "What kind of banquet are you preparing? Our family will leave after passing the imperial edict. It is only proper to ask him to come quickly to receive the edict."
General Pian said slightly apologetically: "If my father-in-law is in a hurry, I will take him to my general's residence."
The eunuch who delivered the order quickly said: "Take our family quickly."
The general laughed and said: "Father-in-law, please come with me." Then he kicked a soldier next to him on the butt: "Why don't you hurry up and inform the general so that he can be prepared to receive the order."
The soldier was kicked by his general. He glanced blankly at the general, with a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, and trotted away.
The eunuch who delivered the order followed the general to the gate of a mansion, and happened to see Han Xin, dressed in white, standing in the yard with a team of personal guards, looking like he was waiting to receive the order.
After confirming Han Xin's identity, the eunuch who delivered the edict did not hesitate and directly opened the imperial edict in his hand and proclaimed: "By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that the existing general Han Xin has made outstanding achievements and has been granted the title of Third-Rank Zhonglang General. He will be granted the title when he enters Chang'an.
I admire this."
"General Han, the emperor's grace is so great, please accept the order."
Han Xin stood up straight, but did not move.
The face of the eunuch who delivered the order darkened: "What does General Han mean by this? Is it because he wants to resist the order?"
I only heard Han Xin say quietly: "The last general has been stationed at Hangu Pass under the orders of Lin Ze, the general who suppressed the rebellion. He is not allowed to leave his post without his orders. Therefore, I apologize for not accepting the order."
"The general is out there and your order has been rejected. My father-in-law can truthfully tell your majesty the words of the last general. When there is no military affairs in Hanxin or the commander-in-chief has orders, I can go to Chang'an to apologize to your majesty."
The face of the eunuch who delivered the order changed drastically, and he said angrily: "If you resist the order and don't obey it, it turns out that the officials are traitors and traitors. Someone came to capture Han Xin and escort him back to Chang'an for His Majesty to deal with him."
As soon as the eunuch spoke, the six guards who followed him immediately exploded in momentum and rushed towards Han Xin.
I saw Han Xin take a few steps back, hiding behind his bodyguard, and said with a mocking look on his face: "Six sixth-grade warriors, I really don't know whether they look up to them or look down on them."
"Someone, take down these assassins."
The "personal guards" in front of Han Xin immediately burst out with momentum, and a total of ten sixth-grade soldiers came forward to greet him.
Ten versus six, almost two versus one, and soon Han Xin's "personal guards" suppressed the people brought by the eunuch who passed the order.
The eunuch who delivered the order screamed: "Han Xin, you dare to resist the order with force, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will investigate you and die without a burial place?"
Han Xin didn't take it seriously and said: "This general is carrying out the orders of the commander-in-chief. Even if he resists the order, there will be a commander-in-chief who will explain it to His Majesty. Besides, do you really think that you are here to deliver the order?"
The eunuch who delivered the order was startled: "What did you say?"
Han Xin said with an indifferent expression: "Didn't you find out clearly before you came that His Majesty has never issued an edict to this general? Didn't every edict go to the coach Lin Ze?"
"No one has ever asked to see me by name at the city gate. You are the first one."
"With the relationship between Marshal Lin and His Majesty, no eunuch dares to clamor for someone to come and pick him up. Do you think everyone in the world should be fearful in the face of the imperial edict?"
"Tell me, who sent you here? And why did you deceive me into entering Chang'an?"
After Han Xin finished speaking, all six guards were captured by the people arranged by Han Xin. Upon seeing this, the eunuch who passed the order revealed a bleak smile on his face, spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and fell to the ground dead.
Han Xin's face turned gloomy when he saw this, and he ordered: "Take these people down and torture them severely. Order to close the whole place under martial law to prevent any unexpected events."
