Chapter 153 Chengguang

Huayang Palace.

Mr. Changping walked in a hurry, without any of his usual demeanor, and his face showed panic visible to the naked eye.

"The Queen Mother!"

Queen Mother Huayang looked at Lord Changping in front of her and smiled slightly when she saw his anxious look.

"What's making you so anxious?"

"The news just came that Wang Ye was poisoned and Zhang Tang was stabbed and injured."

There was deep doubt in Mr. Changping's words.

"Who did it?"

"You!"

Queen Mother Huayang's gentle words made Chang Pingjun's whole body feel as if he had been evacuated, and he froze on the spot.

"The Queen Mother, I"

Changping Jun just started talking, but he didn't know how to continue?

Queen Mother Huayang laughed out loud when she saw him like this.

"You are really an honest person!"

"Who are Wang Jue and Zhang Tang? They are all generals of our Qin State. They hold heavy troops and have weathered many storms. They are all smarter than foxes. Poisoning? Assassination? If it were so easy, they would have died countless times. ”

"What the Queen Mother means is that they are pretending, but why?"

"Obviously, Lu Buwei set up a scheme to label you, Cheng Yu and Zhao Shuang as rebels and uproot them. They didn't want to get involved in this matter, so they found a reason and hid. "

After listening to the words of Queen Mother Huayang, Lord Changping thought carefully.

"But in this case, wouldn't the situation be very favorable to Cheng Yu?"

Wang Jue and Zhang Tang were generals of the Qin State, and their soldiers were all soldiers of the Qin State. If a rebellion breaks out, Lu Buwei can mobilize their elite soldiers to put down the rebellion.

The King of Qin has not yet taken charge, and Lu Buwei holds great power. The only way to overthrow Lu Buwei is rebellion. But if you really want to rebel, you can't win at all.

Cheng Yu seemed to have a great advantage, but he was no match for Lu Buwei.

Queen Mother Huayang shook her head and her face became serious.

"Chang'an Lord is the king's younger brother. Unless he commits a serious crime of rebellion, the king will forgive him no matter what the crime is. But the key is whether he will rebel?"

When Changping Jun heard this, he was also muttering in his heart. Cheng Yu has gradually grown up and is no longer the child he was before. He already has his own ideas in mind, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to listen to what others say.

"Lu Buwei wanted to get rid of Cheng Xi, so he had no choice but to let him rebel. So he let Fan Yuqi take control of the Lantian Camp, which gave Cheng Xi this ability and brought you along with him."

"The person who planned this situation weakened the power Lu Buwei could use. The real key is that the granary was burned down in Taiyuan and Lao Ai was seriously injured. This is true."

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"Lu Buwei is pressing forward step by step, and Cheng Yu is full of youthful energy. If there is a real battle, it will inevitably be a bloody storm. As a result, everything is quiet for the time being. Our Hanyang Lord is very generous when he makes a move. "

"Zhao Shuang?"

When Changping Jun said this, he felt a sense of fear towards Zhao Shuang in his heart.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lu Buwei sat in the study all afternoon with a gloomy face.

After many years in charge of Qin's affairs, Lu Buwei felt helpless for the first time.

Lu Buwei couldn't be happy after being tricked twice by the same person.

Wei Zhuang walked in from outside, his feet stepped on the floor, and his voice was very soft, but Lu Buwei was still alarmed.

"Xiangbang!"

"How's it going outside?"

"Cheng Yu's side used to have a lot of troops, but now they're all quiet."

"Wang Ye was poisoned and Zhang Tang was assassinated. Everyone will focus on Chang'an Jun. He is too busy to tell the truth at this time, so how can he take unnecessary actions?"

Lu Buwei smiled softly, but this smile seemed a bit forced to Wei Zhuang.

"I thought that Cheng Yu was young and full of energy, but now it seems that he is brave and cunning, and is not so easy to deal with."

There was a hint of worry in Lu Buwei's voice, but on his desk were placed the classics and maps about Zhao Shuang.

"Is the Prime Minister looking at Lord Hanyang's territory?"

"Zhao Shuang is a person who should not be underestimated."

Lu Buwei originally wanted to use Zhao Shuang as a breakthrough to attack Changping Jun and Cheng Xi. But now I realized that he was going in the wrong direction.

Lu Buwei raised his head slightly and sighed.

"If we continue to focus on Zhao Shuang, I'm afraid it will be in vain. I originally thought that among Zhao Shuang, Chang Pingjun, and Cheng Yu, Zhao Shuang was the easiest to deal with, but now it seems that it is Incorrect."

"What does Xiangbang mean?"

"Three moves were made in a row, two of them were false, and only the last one was real. But why did he hit Taiyuan?" Lu Buwei touched his beard, "First they sold horses, and then they burned grain. The strength of the Taiyuan army It still exists, but we don’t have the ability to mobilize it in a short period of time, so we need to re-transport grain and grass.”

After a while, Lu Buwei smiled.

"Let the assassins who are dealing with Zhao Shuang withdraw from the net!"

Zhaojiacun.

In the forest, Frightened Salamander stood beside Zhao Shuang wearing a mask.

"So, all the traps have been removed?"

Jing Salamander took off his mask, his face was a little pale, and his big eyes were full of surprise.

"This is the first time I have seen in so many years that Luo Wang has withdrawn the assassination list he issued."

"After you have proven that you are an independent third-party force, either of the two parties will naturally consider the cost of continuing to entangle with you."

Jing Salamander smiled, coughed, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"What are you doing?"

"It's an old habit. It's been like this since I gave birth to Yan'er."

After Jingren gave birth to Tian Yan, she suffered from severe postpartum illness. Coupled with the high-intensity assassination mission, her entire body became weaker and weaker.

"I'm afraid my body won't last long. Is there anything else you want me to do next?"

"Continue to hide and take care of yourself."

Jing Salamander was a little surprised, but he didn't look into it and just smiled.

"The longer my life is, the more valuable it is to you?"

"indeed so."

Zhao Shuang smiled and did not mince words.

Jing Salamander saw it, but he didn't feel chilled. Instead, he admired the other party's frankness.

"In this case, I will retreat first. Remember, what you promised me."

"rest assured!"

As soon as Zhao Shuang said this, the figure of Jing Salamander quickly disappeared from the spot.

Under the sunshine, the forest is very quiet.

Zhao Shuang glanced at the direction in which the Jing Salamander was going and sighed.

Zhao Shuang walked out of the forest. In the mountain village, there were continuous houses. More than twenty carriages were parked in the square of the village at the foot of the mountain, filled with goods.

Five hundred soldiers were fully armed, holding bows and crossbows, with long swords across their waists, standing aside.

When Dianqing saw Zhao Shuang coming, he slightly cupped his hands.

"My lord, everything is ready."

"So, it's time to go to Xianyang."
