Chapter 191 Unexpected Murder
"You and I have worked diligently for the Qin State for decades." Chang Wenjun comforted his brother, "Even though Ying Zheng is suspicious by nature, you and I have gained his trust. Otherwise, he would not have handed over the most important retreat of these 600,000 troops to you."
"Besides, you have successfully delivered 8,000 sets of horse harnesses to Wu'an Jun. With the help of the horse harnesses, Wu'an Jun's army will be even more powerful. When the time is right, we will attack from both sides. No matter how powerful Wang Jian is, he can only return to Guanzhong with some remnants of his army."
"If Qin loses this battle, Han, Zhao and Wei will surely rise again, and the world will once again be divided into seven kingdoms."
"From various perspectives, our plan will definitely succeed." Changping Jun was not as optimistic as Changwen Jun, and said hesitantly, "But, is it really that simple?"
Chang Wenjun said: "Brother, man proposes, God disposes. You and I have done our best and we are worthy of our ancestors of the Chu State!"
"Yes."
Things have come to this point, like an arrow on a string that has to be shot. Changping Jun no longer hesitated and stared at the former site of King Zhuang of Chu's tomb.
"Ancestor King Zhuang, please bless us from the spirit of heaven. Once the mission is completed, the capital of the Chu people will be moved back to Yingcheng, and a blood sacrifice will be offered to our ancestors of the Chu State!"
………………
"wind!"
"Gale!"
"Qin Feng!"
……
The next stop for Wang Jian's army was Nanjun, where Yingcheng was the capital and the brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun were stationed. After passing Nanjun, they officially entered the territory of Chu. After a few days of training in Yingchuan County, the 600,000-man army continued to march forward under the leadership of the generals of various departments.
The golden crow was hanging high in the sky, casting scorching sunlight on the Qin soldiers in armor. Most of the Qin soldiers were men tempered in the wind and frost of the northwest, and some of them could not bear the humidity and heat of the south. Under the scorching sun, most of them were sweating profusely.
Although they could not stand the heat, the Qin army was worthy of being the strongest army of the time. Even though beads of sweat rolled into their eyes and it was hard to open their eyelids, the army still maintained their formation. From who knows where, the earth-shaking, earth-shaking military bugle roared out, really bringing with it a whistling gale that affected the drooping military flags.
Then, flags were unfurled and whistled, boosting the morale that had been slightly weakened in the hot weather.
"Old General Wang Jian, Young Master, and all the generals, we will meet again later."
Outside the city of Xinzheng, Tianxuan was saying his final farewell to a group of Qin army generals led by Wang Jian and Fusu.
"General Tian, we'll meet again."
"My Lord, goodbye."
"I hope that when we meet again, it will be the celebration banquet after the destruction of Chu."
……
As the saying goes, never hit a smiling person. During the time when the army stayed in Yingchuan County, Tianxuan did his best to prepare military supplies and there was no shortage. The generals said goodbye to Tianxuan with a smile.
Wang Jian, the commander-in-chief of the army, recalled the secret conversation he had with Tianxuan a few days ago. Even though he had lived through blood and rain all his life, he still felt heavy in his heart. He raised his head and glanced at Tianxuan who seemed calm, secretly admiring Tianxuan's character.
"Brother Tianxuan, you... you are such a stubborn ass!" Fusu, who was appointed as the military supervisor at Tianxuan's suggestion, had been persuading Tianxuan these days, hoping that Tianxuan would bow to his uncle Changping Jun, and even if he was unwilling to marry Mi Lian, at least he could send a generous gift to express his apology. However, Tianxuan, who knew that Changping Jun was already a grasshopper after autumn, never gave in.
The army was about to leave, and Fusu was really defeated by Tianxuan's stubbornness, and had no choice but to give such an evaluation.
"Thank you for the compliment." Tianxuan didn't take it seriously and took Fusu's words as a compliment to himself.
"Young Master," Tianxuan changed the subject without waiting for Fusu to continue to persuade him, "The army is going out to fight, and you as the military supervisor are of great importance. You must not make any mistakes!"
"I understand." Seeing that Tianxuan was unwilling to dwell on that topic, Fusu couldn't continue to force the young man who was like a monarch and a minister, as well as a friend. In addition, compared with the war against Chu, the friction between Tianxuan and Changping Jun was indeed a trivial matter, so he nodded heavily.
"set off!"
Everything that needed to be said had been said. Wang Jian suddenly waved his hand, and led his generals, surrounded by thousands of elite soldiers, and set out for Chu with an army that was as mighty as a surging, world-destroying flood.
【We will meet again soon. 】
Tianxuan watched Wang Jian's army leave, surrounded by dozens of personal guards led by Mo Ya, standing alone in the green wilderness until the last soldier of Wang Jian's army disappeared from his sight. Thinking of what would happen soon, he felt an endless sense of pride and said silently.
Whoosh!
Coincidentally, a cool breeze, which was very rare in this hot summer day, blew, dispelling the heat around and lifting up the cloak of Tianxuan, who was not wearing armor today and was wearing a purple tights inside and a cloak outside.
"Back to the city."
The cool breeze woke Tianxuan up. He pulled the reins and said to the guards around him.
have to! have to! have to!
Dozens of war horses were running wildly, and the horseshoes, all inlaid with horseshoes, fell on the ground with a crisp sound. The sky and the earth were empty, and even the most hardworking farmers were unwilling to leave their homes and go to the fields to work under the unbearable hot summer sun. Huoyun was very fast, and soon he carried Tianxuan away from the guards of Mo Ya and others, and ran in the front.
boom!
When the team led by Tianxuan passed by a hill covered with green grass, unexpected events occurred.
A terrifying sound came from a seemingly peaceful hill that was no more than ten feet high and covered an area of no more than seven feet. Along with the roar of divine thunder, endless dust, mixed with stones of varying sizes, rushed towards Tianxuan and others like a dense rainstorm.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The oncoming earth and rocks filled the vision of Tianxuan and others. There were also figures wearing earth-yellow clothes, hiding their faces in the earth and rocks, and launching a sneak attack on Tianxuan and others. Swords, axes and other weapons made an exciting sound in the sky, driving the broken earth and rocks.
"No, there's an ambush!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Protect your lord!"
……
During this period, Tianxuan and the others focused on Wang Jian's army, ignoring the dangers from other places. In addition, they had just sent away 600,000 soldiers, and everyone, including Tianxuan, could not help but feel relieved. This sudden assassination, which came from nowhere, really caught everyone off guard.
Faced with endless earth and rocks, and the killer hidden in it, except for Mo Ya, the other guards failed to react in time and screamed continuously.
Whoosh!
Mo Ya was worthy of being a master who had been famous for many years. After the initial panic, the number one killer of Night Owl jumped up from the horse's back. With the wave of his arms, jet-black feathers rushed out from Mo Ya's sleeves to meet the endless earth and rocks.
