Chapter 183 Strange Items

Gaodu.

Thick smoke and dust rose, and flames shot into the sky.

Yang Li looked at the scene in front of him, grabbed a guard who was preparing to put out the fire, and yelled angrily.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know why, but the warehouse suddenly ran out of water."

"Where are the abandoned ordnance inside?"

"With such a huge fire, it should have been burned out."

"roll!"

Yang Li pushed the guard to the ground, and the wooden barrel filled with water fell to the ground. Water flowed all over the ground, and the guard fled away as if he was crawling.

Since Lord Hanyang was imprisoned, this batch of ordnance waiting to be disposed of has been placed in this inconspicuous corner, and no one took it seriously.

As soon as the attack on Zhao is completed, we will either find craftsmen to modify it or destroy it on the spot.

But now, a fire in this inconspicuous corner may ignite the entire Qin State.

Xianyang sent an order to find out the whereabouts of the abandoned ordnance. Everyone understands the relationship.

Looking at the monstrous fire, Yang Li's heart sank to the bottom. The situation is getting more and more unfavorable for Lord Chang'an. With this fire, everyone will think that Lord Chang'an is trying to destroy evidence.

Even if he has a few mouths, he can’t explain clearly!

"General, what should we do now? Do we really want to rebel?"

The hesitant look and timid expression of his subordinate made Yang Li furious and he scolded him.

"What nonsense!"

If it were normal times, Yang Li would definitely kill the source of such remarks that harmed the morale of the army. But now, he was confused and looked at the men he had brought with him.

So do they!

It seemed as if there was a huge whirlpool swirling in the sky, accompanied by the fire, making all living beings restless.

Just when Yang Li didn't know what to do, his eyes suddenly kept looking, and he saw a figure in the crowd that shouldn't have been there.

"Help the officers and put out the fire!"

As soon as Yang Li gave the order, his men immediately started moving. Coming from the military, these people are much more efficient than the local county government servants.

Yang Li alone followed the figure to a remote corner.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Yang Duanhe was wrapped in a black cloak and looked solemn. At this time, he was not reminiscing about the past.

"The situation is like this. The wind direction above the court has turned to one side. Now the lives of hundreds of members of my Yang family depend on you."

"Brother, this"

Yang Li didn't know what to do, because his heart was in a mess at the moment. He felt a little far away from the fate Yang Duanhe mentioned.

"That's not it! With the troops in Lord Chang'an's hands, treason is a dead end. He wouldn't know it."

"Brother, you are confused!"

Yang Duanhe looked at Yang Li, with a sense of urgency in his voice.

"A dog can jump over the wall when it's angry, let alone the king of a country. Since ancient times, who has planned rebellion and rebellion? Who would wait until everything is ready? Isn't it the case that they are helpless and then attack with all their might?"

Listening to Yang Duanhe's words, Yang Li was really worried.

"Then what should I do?"

"Report what happened here to Cheng Xi, and then lead the troops outside. No matter what orders Cheng Xi sends, stay where you are and don't take any action. Once chaos breaks out, you must immediately draw a clear line with Cheng Xi."

"But I have a lone army outside. Fan Yuqi, Qiang Wei and even Zhang Tang's men and horses are all stationed outside. What if several generals in the Qin army conspire with Cheng Xi and join forces to attack me?"

"That's it. There is still a way to survive in defeat, but there is a way to death by conspiracy."

Yang Duanhe's words echoed in his ears, Yang Li nodded, made up his mind, and looked determined.

"I see!"

In the night fire, red sleeves add fragrance.

However, this gentle woman could not dissipate any anger.

Cheng Xiu was furious after pushing the bamboo slip in front of him to the ground.

"Forcing me, you are forcing me!"

When the news from Gaodu came, Cheng Yu was originally with his beloved Ji Liwu, but in an instant, his appearance changed.

At this moment, Cheng Xi looked like a wild beast that had been forced into a desperate situation, with bloodshot eyes and fur all over his body.

"Your Highness!"

The woman looked at the person in front of her and stretched out her hand. As soon as she touched it, she saw Cheng Yu sitting up straight and seemed to have made up her mind.

"Okay! Aren't they all forcing me to commit rebellion? Then I'll show you one of the rebellions!"

Cheng Yu looked at the woman beside him, and there was still some tenderness in his words.

"You go down first!"

"promise!"

The woman stood up, bowed, and slowly retreated.

Following Cheng Xi's order, many advisers and dead men suddenly appeared in the house, and their figures passed by Li Wu.

With a smile on her face, the woman looked back at the brightly lit room, turned her waist, and walked towards the darkness.

"Summon Yang Li, Qiang Wei and other generals to lead troops to Tunliu immediately."

"What about Fan Yuqi?"

In the house, Chenglong groaned.

"He is unreliable, and his army is not on our main route back to Guanzhong. Don't worry about him."

When Cheng Yu announced the news of rebellion to a group of close advisers, their faces showed long-awaited smiles. But the smile disappeared soon after, and then the planning began in full swing.

"Your Highness, including the troops of Yang Li, Qiang Wei and other generals, we only have 50,000 troops. If we want to invade the pass, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Cheng Yu looked very calm and confident.

"I have sent secretaries to the King of Zhao and the King of Han to ask them to send troops to help. Zhao and Han have each sent an army of 100,000 to help me achieve my great cause."

Everyone was delighted when they heard this.

"Your Highness is wise! But there is one thing. What should I do with General Bi, the general who is stationed here?"

"The situation is unprepared. The general is stationed behind the wall and is in charge of material and logistics. It should not be dealt with easily. Send someone to monitor him. Once Yang Li and others lead the army to turn back, kill him immediately."

"promise!"

There was no light in the dark house.

Lao Ai knelt on the ground and closed her eyes. In the sword box in front of him, there was also the long sword that concealed the sun.

Behind him, there was a crowd of assassins with hundreds of nets.

They waited until a soft sound of bamboo leaking came from the outer courtyard, and Lao Ai opened her eyes.

His bright eyes glowed in the darkness. He stretched out his hand, took the famous sword from the sword box, and slowly stood up.

"Brothers, in the end, there is no way to get ahead in the trap. If you want to get riches and honors, you should make great achievements and get rare goods."

Lao Ai sneered, turned around, and looked at the assassins kneeling in front of him.

"Great achievements are now, and strange goods are also in the camp. What Lu Buwei did back then, I, Lao Ai, can do the same today. Brothers, wealth is right in front of you, send troops!"

"promise!"

A strong emotion surged in Lao Ai's heart, as if fame, wealth, power and status were right in front of her, and her whole person was in a strangely excited state.
