I’m The King

The love is gone!

Bai Qi chewed these words carefully, and he couldn't help but shudder. He understood why the king sent him out at this critical juncture. From beginning to end, the king was probably most worried about the road. Chao is a general with more than 100,000 troops. Because Lu Chao has another identity, the recognized successor of the Li Ru school, once Lu Chao returns to Xianyang safely, the Li Ru school will gather under Lu Chao's banner, and Li Ru I will definitely make such an arrangement before closing my eyes.

That being the case, then only to make Lu Chao unable to return to Xianyang.

"General wisdom, I'm afraid I won't openly enter Beijing." Bai Qi whispered.

"You only need to pay attention to the ones on the bright side. Others, there are Mingtai." Yingying waved her hand.

Bai Qi took a deep breath and glanced at Mingtai. Mingtai lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face. But Bai Qi knew very well in his heart that if Lu Chao secretly returned to Xianyang, he would definitely escape Mingtai. The eyes and ears of the platform and the traps laid down, if there is anything that Li Ru has affected in the past few decades, it is the black ice platform controlled by Zhong Li, which is reserved for the royal family.

"I hope that the general can understand the difficulties of loneliness, stay in Hangu Pass, guard the door for the lonely, and buy a few years of recovery time for Daqin. Gao Yuan can build up the current sweat in ten years, Daqin's foundation He is so much stronger than him, you can’t catch up and surpass him if you don’t believe it. All I need is time. Go, I just want to be alone."

When Bai Qi stepped out of the palace gate, he turned around and looked at the most central place that ruled Da Qin. The lights inside gradually went out, and finally fell into the darkness, with the only light on. Only the place where he had just stayed, the Black Ice Platform, he seemed to see a young figure sitting cross-legged on the cold marble floor, quietly overlooking the majestic Xianyang City.

Looking back, he tightened his cloak again. Holding the saber around his waist, he strode away.

In the east of Xianyang, in a seemingly ordinary house, there are all the powerful figures of the Great Qin Dynasty sitting, and a few burning braziers make the house warm like spring, people sitting cross-legged. His face was full of sorrow. On the bed not far away from them, Li Ru, the founder of the powerful Qin Dynasty, had a pale face, his eyes closed, lying on the bed, his breath was barely audible. A doctor sat cross-legged in front of the bed, staring nervously at the great scholar who had influenced a whole generation of Qin people.

"The king seems to have made up his mind and cannot be reversed." Cui Yuan's expression was gloomy, and he looked at his colleagues, "Fan Sui even dare to seek assassination, if he is allowed to gain power, there is no place for us to stand."

"What's more worrying is that the reforms advocated by Fan Sui. It is subverting our foundation. The teacher has said long ago that it is not suitable for Daqin to make major changes. Reforms must be carried out without external threats, and It is necessary to slowly figure it out so as not to cause major social unrest, but Fan Sui’s practice is like pouring a scoop of water in hot oil, which will ruin our Qin country.” The doctor Zuo Lixing was worried. .

"Fan Sui can't worry about it. What's worrying is that the king is supporting him, there is no king. He can do nothing, everyone. A few days ago, I submitted a new batch of officials to the king. I have stayed, and there has been no reply so far. I want to come here and everyone knows what it means." Second assistant Huang Jun, who is in charge of the appointment and removal of officials, shook his head and said.

"The king has already tried to find out, we must make a strong counterattack. Let the king see our strength." Tingwei Tang Ying said viciously.

"How do you show the king a good look? Is it possible that you still want to rebel? Just rely on the guys under you who can only arrest people and torture people, I'm afraid that you have just moved, and Mingtai will close your door." Left Lixing coldly and authentically.

"Who said I want to rebel? I just want the king to understand that we are Da Qin's arms. That Fan Sui will only mess up Da Qin and make Da Qin on the verge of destruction." Tang Ying said angrily.

"Enough!" Cui Yuan said angrily: "The key now is not to let Fan Sui return to Beijing. Someone has already done this. Killing Fan Sui will let the king understand that the person he should rely on is Who! Little Junior Brother is also coming back. Once Fan Sui died, as soon as Little Junior Brother returned to Xianyang, everything was under my control. Now it's big..."

A violent cough interrupted Cui Yuan's words. Everyone turned their heads abruptly. The doctor in front of the bed was in a hurry, and Li Ru, who was lying on the bed with his chest, bowed like a dried shrimp. The violent cough brought out a little bit. Scarlet, so that there are beautiful flowers blooming on the white sheets.

"Cui Shoufu, everyone Li is dying." The doctor yelled in panic.

Everyone leaped up and rushed to the bed. Cui Yuan held Li Ru's hand tightly and shouted: "Teacher, teacher, I am here, do you have anything else to say to the disciple?"

Li Ru, who had been in a coma for many days, slowly opened his dim eyes amid Cui Yuan's yelling, staring at the anxious Cui Yuan blankly, his mouth closed and he seemed to want to confess something, but what it was. Can't tell, the muscles on his face twitched, his eyes became more and more anxious, and he stared at Cui Yuan firmly.

"Teacher, don't worry, we will do what you tell us. When the younger brother comes back, we will only look after the younger brother, and keep Daqin and the teacher's efforts." Looking at Li Ru, he couldn't swallow. Cui Yuan couldn't help crying.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, Li Ru fell heavily back on the bed, "Stable." He finally spit out two words, a mouthful of blood spurted out from between his mouth, and his eyes finally fell apart.

"Teacher." Cui Yuan yelled, and slowly knelt down in front of the bed. Behind him, everyone knelt down and wept bitterly.

The horseshoe smashed the tranquility of Xianyang. In the Xianyang Palace, a heavy bell rang from the bell tower only a little lower than the Black Ice Terrace. Yingying stood on the terrace of the Black Ice Terrace, listening to the heavy Bells. Li Ru died. He didn't feel much grief. Instead, he felt relieved. The mountain that had been pressing on his head was finally moved away.

Li Ru made great contributions to the rise of the Qin State. Without him, there would be no Qin State’s rise from the western frontiers, no Da Qin over the past decades of domineering nations, not to mention the supreme cause of his father. He has contributed a lot. Now that he is gone, he naturally wants to give him the honor he deserves. The bell tower in the palace will ring only when major events happen in the country. As for the funeral, it was only enjoyed by the royal family before. , And for a foreigner, this is the first time, but Li Ru deserves this honor.

He opened his arms and seemed to want to embrace the entire Xianyang. From now on, this city and this kingdom truly belonged to him.

He wants to revive Daqin and accomplish the great cause his father did not accomplish. He wants to become the greatest king in the ages. Facing the night sky, listening to the bell, Yingying shouted in his heart.

The gate of the palace was pushed open, and the Mingtai stepped in.

"My lord, it is urgent to report from Hangu Pass." Mingtai's voice was very urgent.

Ying Yinghuo turned around, looking at Mingtai's somewhat Zhang Yan look, her heart sank, her blush gradually faded and she became pale.

"General Lu, did he finally decide to come back?" He almost burst out this sentence from his throat, but what was in his mind was the bit by bit that followed Lu Chao in those years. In those years, the two of them Forged a deep friendship, but now, this friendship seems to be ending.

"No, it's not that the general came back. This is an urgent report sent by the general. Xi Zhao has surrendered to Han and set a trap in Jinyang County. General Gouyi under the command of the general is in Jinyang County. The cavalry attacked and the whole army was destroyed. Gouyi's life and death is unknown. If the 20,000 army can escape to Hangu Pass, there is no time to stop after ten stops." Mingtai's voice seemed very anxious.

"What?" Yingying changed her color suddenly, her fists were clenched, her veins were exposed, and her 20,000 army was gone.

"How did the general respond?" Yingying asked.

"The general said in the military newspaper that the scout discovered that King Gao Yuan of Han had appeared in Jinyang County himself. The general decided to attack with the whole army, first to regain the territory of Xizhao, and secondly, if Gao Yuan can be encircled and killed in Jinyang. In the county, Han will be in chaos, and Daqin will sit back and relax."

Yingying turned around in the hall, and suddenly turned around for a while, looking at Mingtai, "Mingtai, tell me, is this the general demonstrating to Gu in another way?"

Mingtai was taken aback, thought for a while, and said seriously: "My lord, my subordinates think this is impossible. The general may disagree with the king's idea of ​​reform, but he will never threaten him with the lives of 20,000 soldiers. Your Majesty~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Moreover, as far as I know, Gouyi is the most trusted subordinate of the general. We previously speculated that if the general returns to Xianyang, the general will inevitably appoint Gouyi to manage him. Hanguguan army. Furthermore, General Lu may collude with others, but he will never collude with Gao Yuan. This matter is probably a conspiracy planned by Xi Zhao and Han for a long time."

Yingying nodded. "In that case, the general will not come back?"

"The general will not come back." Mingtai said affirmatively: "The king, it seems that the general is still very loyal to the king. In fact, when this happened, the general has another response, and that is to defend Hangu. Can’t get out. The Han army is just two cavalry soldiers arriving in Jinyang County with more than 10,000 men, and you also know the combat effectiveness of the Xi Zhao army.”

Yingying nodded: "After you said this, I am completely relieved. The general is indeed the general of the year. I can finally relax. In his heart, Qin's interests are above all else. ."

"My lord, but the general's dispatch of troops on such a large scale will cause a large-scale war?" Mingtai was a little worried.

"It's possible." Yingying suddenly laughed, "However, there are generals who have been staying at Hangu Pass, so I don't worry about anything." (to be continued)
