General Qin

Chapter 669 The Emperor’s Life and Death

Boom!

A loud noise came from the front, startling Zhao Tuo who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"what happened!"

Zhao Tuo didn't know what happened, but his heart was throbbing and he had a bad feeling.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of exclamations came from outside the carriage, and the horses in the entire convoy seemed to be frightened by the loud noise, and the neighing sounds were endless.

Amidst the neighing of horses, Zhao Tuo heard the man outside the car shouting: "There is an assassin!"

"Protect the Emperor!"

assassin!

Zhao Tuo stood up and jumped out of the carriage, only to see that the outside was indeed a mess.

On the road that could only accommodate two cars running parallel, people and horses were completely jammed together, making it a mess.

The lieutenant general, Meng Yi, was shouting, trying to control the situation.

Lang Wei is an elite force that protects the emperor. Many of them are made up of children of nobles and high-ranking officials and are of high quality.

But because of this, Lang Weijun also has a shortcoming, that is, most of the Lang officers have never really been on the battlefield, have not experienced any unexpected situations, and just perform escort work step by step every day. When faced with emergencies, it is very difficult to It’s easy to appear unprepared.

Especially in the face of this shocking assassination!

Although Meng Yi, the lieutenant general, has always acted calmly, this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Seeing the emperor's carriage being smashed, he was extremely panicked and found it difficult to control the situation.

"Meng Yi, anyone who disturbs will be killed!"

Zhao Tuo let out an angry roar, and his voice surged out of his chest, like thunder, spreading around.

When Meng Yi heard this shout, he immediately reacted, instinctively pulled out his sword and shouted: "Anyone who dares to move will be killed!"

Once Zhao Tuo came forward and Meng Yi accepted the order, the whole chaotic scene immediately calmed down.

Zhao Tuo immediately moved forward and went straight to where the emperor's carriage was.

Before they even got close, they saw a bunch of people surrounding a smashed gold car, carefully peeling away the broken wood.

On the other side, there was a man dressed as a lieutenant lying paralyzed on the ground. Several lieutenants around him stepped forward to protect him.

Zhao Tuo didn't have time to see who that person was. All his attention was now focused on the broken golden root car.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Tuo's eyes instantly turned red, he stretched out his hand to push away Zhonglang who was blocking him, and immediately rushed to the front of the car.

He saw that the front half of the originally gorgeous and noble Jingen car had been blasted with a big hole, and it was surrounded by broken wood. Fortunately, the thing that hit the car body did not seem to be big, and only the front of the vehicle was damaged, and the rear of the Jingen car was damaged. Half of the carport is still there.

Seeing such a scene, at this moment, the assassin's name appeared in Zhao Tuo's mind.

Zhang Liang!

Bolangsha Yizhi, who was late, finally came.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC Mansion, cried out as he pushed aside the smashed wood in front and finally saw the situation inside the car.

"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet."

The voice of the First Emperor came from the car.

Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief. This golden chariot was two feet long and one foot wide. It would take six horses to pull it. It was very large.

It seemed that the First Emperor was sitting in the back, but the heavy objects thrown by the attackers hit the front and did not hit the emperor. This was really a blessing in misfortune.

Before everyone around him could cheer, the voice of the First Emperor came out again: "Block the news. My situation cannot be... ahem... spread..."

These weak coughs immediately made Zhao Tuo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, feel his heart lifted again. He threw himself in front of Jin Gen's car and pushed Zhao Gao away. At this time, he finally saw the situation in the car.

The First Emperor still maintained his noble imperial posture, sitting behind the golden root chariot, looking no different from before.

But Zhao Tuo soon discovered that the emperor's clothes on his shoulders, arms, waist and abdomen were torn. It was only because the robe he was wearing was black that the blood stains were covered up.

The heavy object projected by the assassin did not directly hit the First Emperor, but the splintered wood that flew when the heavy object smashed the chariot in front still caused splash damage to the emperor.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Tuo choked and wanted to get in.

The First Emperor shook his head and said with a white face: "My safety will be taken care of by doctors. You, Zhao Tuo, now want to help me find the assassin... ahem...! Everything... is under your control." !”

At the end of the words, the originally weak First Emperor's eyes burst out with a fierce light.

"Kill all the traitors for me!"

"I, Zhao Tuo, obey your Majesty's edict."

Zhao Tuo responded with tears in his eyes, and then got out of the carriage. The CRRC ordered Zhao Gao to get into the carriage hurriedly to help the emperor. At the same time, the accompanying imperial doctor Xia Wuji also ran over in a panic.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath.

He strode towards Zhonglang General Meng Yi and said in a deep voice: "I have been ordered by His Majesty to take over all matters. General Meng Zhonglang immediately blocked all news about the emperor. Only important ministers and ministers were not allowed to approach, and he immediately sent people to hunt him down. assassin."

I saw Zhao Tuo coming from Jingen's chariot with a serious expression and verbally delivering the emperor's edict.

Meng Yi was amazed in his heart, but instinctively accepted the offer.

At this time, a Zhonglang who had gone to pursue the assassin after the attack came back.

"General Zhonglang, we found the writings left by the assassin on the tree where the assassin attacked."

The lieutenant looked pale and spoke cautiously.

"What word?"

Zhao Tuo asked immediately.

The lieutenant glanced at Meng Yi first, and when he saw him nodding, he said tremblingly: "The tyrant... the tyrant and one husband, Zhang Liang from Korea."

"Zhang Liang! It's really you!"

Zhao Tuo clenched his hands tightly and gritted his teeth.

"Send an order to Sishui County Lieutenant Zhao Guang to immediately search the entire county for traces of the traitor Zhang Liang!"

"Send an order to all villages in Sishui County and nearby counties to capture and kill the traitor Zhang Liang and his accomplices. Anyone who provides information will be heavily rewarded!"

At this point, Zhao Tuo suddenly thought of something.

Rumors about the Surabaya Baoding!

According to what Zhang De, the governor of Sishui County, said before, this so-called auspicious incident was not planned by him.

Instead, rumors first appeared among the people that there was a treasure light appearing in the Si River, and that fishermen heard the sound of ghosts crying at night, and then they became more and more intense and became very popular.

Another wealthy family from Sishui County took the opportunity to persuade Zhang De to learn from Linzi County's auspicious donation in order to gain the emperor's favor.

After repeated persuasion, Zhang De was so obsessed that he reported to the emperor about the birth of the Baoding in Surabaya. The emperor, who was thousands of miles away, was so itchy that he gave up his vacation at the seaside and ran to Surabaya excitedly. The county comes.

As a result, not only did he not catch the tripod, but he also suffered an iron spine from Zhang Liang.

Everything is connected.

Why do such rumors still appear when there is obviously no treasure tripod in Surabaya? There are people behind all this, just to lure the emperor to come west.

"Zhang Liang's plan!"

Zhao Tuo's body felt cold. This man was indeed very resourceful and he had fallen into his plan without knowing it.

But when Zhao Tuo thought about this, he also found an important key point.

"Zhang Liang is a Korean, and he has no influence in the Chu region. He wants to publicize and ferment the matter of the Surabaya Baoding, and let the wealthy families of Surabaya persuade Zhang De to present a gift to the emperor. There must be helpers behind this. "

"And Zhang Liang has been wanted for a long time. He can walk freely in Sishui County, and he must have received the help of the local Chu people, otherwise he would never have done such a thing!"

Zhao Tuo immediately locked onto a target.

In Sishui County, there is a city named Xiaxiang, which was the fiefdom of the Xiang family of Chu State in the past.

Xiang.

Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu...

The future anti-Qin leader!

"I remember that at the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu wanted to kill Liu Bang. It was because Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo were good friends, and Xiang Bo turned around in many ways, so Liu Bang saved his life. This proves that Zhang Liang and the Xiang family had contacts before they rebelled against Qin. !”

"If there is anyone in Sishui County who is most willing to help Zhang Liang assassinate Qin, I am afraid it must be the Xiang family!"

Zhao Tuo's mind completely opened up, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

Especially when he thought about the news that Xiang Yu had died of illness before, Xiang must have a big problem with this connection.

Zhao Tuo immediately summoned Sishui County Lieutenant Zhao Guang.

"Order a thousand people to escort the emperor's car back to Pengcheng, send a thousand people to continue chasing the assassin in the direction of his escape, and a thousand more people to follow me to the next phase!"

Zhao Tuo had a cold light in his eyes.

"Surround the Xiang family!"
