This Jing Ke is in Handan City. Shen Bing can easily find out which inn he is staying in and even which room he is staying in...
There are soldiers of the Qin army everywhere around. If they want to start a fight, Jing Ke's few people are not enough to practice their skills.
However, Shen Bing could not take action.
"The two countries are at war without killing each other to send envoys" was not just a casual statement. The formalities, official documents, etc. were all in place, and it was also stated that they were going to Xianyang to deliver gifts.
If Jing Ke was killed rashly, not to mention Wang Jian's disobedience and soldiers' disobedience, if Ying Zheng knew about it, he probably wouldn't let it go:
You kid is so brave!
Do you dare to snatch the gifts given to me by the State of Yan?
Do you still want to die?
When the time comes to punish the Nine Clans, I'm afraid they won't be able to understand their hatred, and even Ling Chi will be punished... Then Shen Bing will be unjust.
So Shen Bing was helpless.
Even if they knew that Jing Ke was called a gift, it was actually an assassination.
Tell Wang Jian or Yang Duanhe directly?
Even if it is found that there is something wrong with Jing Ke, we only need to ask one sentence:
How do you, Shen Bing, know?
Were you also involved?
Inappropriate or inappropriate.
This crime of assassination is no joke.
Shen Bing was so anxious that he was running around in the tent.
I also thought that Jing Ke would only stay in Handan for one night and would leave the city early tomorrow morning to rush to Xianyang. By then, there would be nothing that could be done to him.
At this time, Zhang Xuan opened the curtain and came in. When he saw Shen Bing like this, he asked doubtfully:
"Why are engineers so anxious?"
Shen Bing didn't dare to say clearly what was going on, so he could only reply:
"It's nothing, it's just that we encountered some difficulties in the field."
Zhang Xuan smiled:
"Let the engineers worry about it."
"Engineers are needed both inside and outside the city."
"If even engineers can't solve it, I'm afraid no one can."
By the way, Zhang Xuan really admires Shen Bing.
Zhang Xuan was one of the few insiders who planned to kill Li Mu before. At this time, Shen Bing easily solved the problem of drought and popular sentiment in the three counties, which made Zhang Xuan shocked by Shen Bing.
In addition, Shen Bing was a popular person around Wang Jian and Yang Duan, so although his official position was higher than that of Shen Bing, he did not dare to put on any airs in front of Shen Bing.
Shen Bing could only smile bitterly in return.
After thinking for a while, Shen Bing asked carefully:
"Two to five hundred masters, if there is someone suspected of harboring a bandit but it is inconvenient to search."
"I wonder if there is a solution?"
Zhang Xuan answered without thinking:
"It's simple, just find a reason for the search!"
"I wonder which family the engineer suspects of harboring bandits?"
Shen Bing said "Oh", secretly thinking that there might be something interesting.
Zhang Xuan didn't know that those people were envoys from Yan State, so why didn't he pretend not to know.
So he replied:
"It's not that family, but I saw a few people acting suspiciously when I passed Xiangyun Inn today."
"It is said... that the inn seems to be arranged by the county lieutenant."
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but frown and replied:
"It is indeed the county captain's arrangement."
"The gangster will find a place."
This Xiangyun Inn is a famous large inn in Handan. Envoys to and from the State of Zhao used to stay here.
After the State of Zhao was destroyed and all the nobles were captured, the inn became a state-owned land without an owner.
The county captain arranged for his relatives to take over the business, so even Zhang Xuan had some concerns.
But Zhang Xuan thought about it and said:
"It's okay."
"This is an extraordinary period. Even if we go to conduct a search, the county commander would not dare to say anything."
"It's just that we have to be careful..."
"Engineer, don't worry about this, I have my own arrangements!"
Shen Bing cupped his hands and thanked him: "This will help me gain two to five hundred dollars."
Shen Bing was actually a little curious as to what "reason" Zhang Xuan would use to search, but Zhang Xuan didn't say anything and he couldn't ask more questions.
Secretly, Zhang Xuan was very comfortable with this matter, so he just let him do it.
That night, Zhang Xuan took Shen Bing and several others on patrol.
This is a common thing.
Ever since Shen Bing and Zhang Xuan implemented the "lead the snake out of the hole" together, the two of them would go and inspect it every night.
Shen Bing could not take many people with him, only a few personal guards, and sometimes he would also take a thief with him.
Ren and Yan both have their own strengths.
When it comes to fighting alone, Ren is definitely not Yan's opponent.
But Ren inherited most of the advantages of the Qin army, that is, he could fight together with his fellow soldiers.
In other words, he has the ability to command and form formations, and with one order, five personal guards will go in and out at the same time.
If he were to face the six of them, he would be powerless.
This may be coordination in cold weapon warfare.
No matter how brave an individual is, it is difficult to defeat four people with two fists, let alone six people.
Shen Bing knew something was going to happen tonight, so he also took the pan with him.
After patrolling all the way, there was no movement. The huge streets were deserted, with only Qin soldiers patrolling back and forth.
The torches stuck on the street flickered in and out of light in the evening breeze, adding a bit of eerieness and desolation to the ancient city.
When they were about to arrive at Xiangyun Inn, Zhang Xuan patted Shen Bing on the shoulder and raised his head forward.
Shen Bing understood and strode forward with Zhang Xuan.
Suddenly, a few dark shadows appeared vaguely in the corners on both sides and made a little strange noise.
Zhang Xuan pulled out his bronze sword with a clang and shouted:
"Who broke the night?"
"Show me and beg for mercy and I will spare your life!"
…
Ren and others quickly rushed to protect Shen Bing and Zhang Xuan.
The surrounding Qin troops also moved quickly. When they heard the movement, they immediately surrounded us with halberds.
But those few people were not willing to arrest them without restraint. The black shadow leaped up and fled deep into the alley.
Zhang Xuan pointed his bronze sword forward and ordered:
"Chase, don't let these thieves escape!"
The soldiers responded in unison and followed the shadow.
Shen Bing looked in the direction where the black figure was escaping, wasn't it Xiangyun Inn?
Then I understood what Zhang Xuan meant by "the beginning".
Sure enough, Zhang Xuan smiled proudly at Shen Bing.
Shen Bing secretly raised his thumb to Zhang Xuan.
They really all have their own strengths. What gave Shen Bing a headache was as simple as a child pretending to be a kid in Zhang Xuan's hands.
It is conceivable that these dark figures must have escaped into the inn or even broke in and then disappeared without a trace.
It is not difficult to disappear. Once you enter, you can change into the Qin army's clothes and identity and mix with the soldiers who are searching inside.
At that time, even if the commander of the Xiangyun Inn is personally in charge, it will be hard to say anything.
Otherwise, if there is a bad thing, it will be labeled as harboring bandits...
Do you still want to be a county lieutenant?
No, this is not a question of dismissal, but a question of whether to live or not.
Sure enough, when Zhang Xuan and Shen Bing rushed to the Xiangyun Inn, the soldiers of the Qin army had surrounded the inn.
A hundred generals stepped forward to report:
"Master Twenty-Five Hundred, we are waiting to see the bandit fleeing into the inn."
"My subordinates have ordered people to guard all exits. Even if they have wings, they can't fly!"
