Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

So for a while, the temporary update will not break out in three or four updates. It is estimated that there will be one or two updates every day. Of course, it will never be broken. This is a matter of principle.

As a writer, there may only be a few days in a year that allow me to be a little lazy and talk to my parents and grandma who haven't seen me for many days, so please forgive me.

Please also rest assured that this short and feeble period of time will not be too long, maybe ten days.

I will come back from my hometown on the 19th. If my father-in-law doesn’t need to visit relatives, then I will start the outbreak mode from NO.20, and the bottom will be guaranteed every four days!If the father-in-law has something to do, it will be a day or two later.

Yes, you read that right, it's not the outbreak of the fourth update, but the guarantee of the fourth update!

This year's goal is to write at least 360 million words in 300 five days a year, please wait and see!

I am very grateful that such a niche book can achieve the current results. I would like to thank every reader who supports this book. I also wish you all the best in the new year and a prosperous year of the dog!

Chapter 266 The Mysterious Man Appearing Next to Meng Ao (First Update)

After Meng Ao left the Sheriff's Mansion, he led the guards who had been waiting outside the Sheriff's Mansion and rode out of the city, heading east.

More than ten miles to the east of the city, there is a large camp that was set up not long ago, where Meng Ao trained the [-] soldiers of Hedong County on weekdays.

Meng Ao, who was outside the city, was not in a hurry, he let the horse rein, let his body heave on the horse's back, although his eyes were fixed on the road in front of him, his mind was already drifting to nowhere.

In the general's heart, there was a surge of emotion.

An emotion called revenge.

One year ago, Meng Ao, as Sima Geng's lieutenant general, witnessed an extremely tragic defeat outside Yewang City.

The [-] Qin army was almost completely annihilated, and the chief general Sima Geng died in battle. As the deputy general, Meng Ao escaped with a small number of soldiers under Sima Geng's strict orders.

Meng Ao, who returned to Xianyang, originally thought that he would be dealt with very severely by the military law, and he might even be sentenced to death.

But what Meng Ao never expected was that he was only held for a few months before being released.

Not only that, after a few months, Meng Ao was activated again.

When he learned that he had been employed, the general of the Qin State, known for his toughness and integrity, burst into tears for the first time in his life, and made up his mind from the bottom of his heart. The blood shed by the people of old Qin will be paid back one day!

It is precisely because of this that Meng Ao basically just spends these days in the barracks, training soldiers like crazy, unless there is something necessary like today, otherwise Meng Ao will not step out of the barracks at all.

A few steps away from Meng Ao's side is a young man who looks quite similar to Meng Ao riding his horse. He is Meng Ao's son, Meng Wu, and his current position is Meng Ao's personal guard captain.

Just when Meng Ao was in a trance, there was a sound of horseshoes on the road behind him.

The sound of hoofbeats was rapid, and he quickly approached Meng Ao.

Meng Ao didn't turn his head back, but the guards around him turned their heads almost immediately and stared at the person coming.

The captain of the personal guard, Meng Wu, greeted the visitor, and shouted: "Who is the visitor?"

It was too late to say that, almost at the moment Meng Wu opened his mouth to order, the guards around Meng Ao quickly guarded his general, and at the same time drew out their weapons and raised their short crossbows.

The visitor reined in the horse, raised his hands, and showed a harmless smile: "Don't panic, I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to tell the general about the confidential military situation."

"Confidential military information?" Meng Wu looked suspiciously at the completely ordinary guy in front of him, dressed in coarse linen, about twenty years old, who looked like a horseman: "What confidential military information can you have?"

The visitor's smile remained unchanged, and he continued: "General Haojiao learned that this military situation is related to the Allied Forces of the Three Jin Dynasties."

"Three-Jin Allied Army?" Meng Wu couldn't help laughing: "You can actually know the military situation of the Three-Jin Allied Army?"

It seemed that Meng Wu obviously did not believe what the visitor said.

But at this moment, Meng Ao's voice sounded: "You can tell me what you have in the army."

The visitor looked at Meng Wu and the guards beside Meng Ao, with a hesitant look on his face.

Meng Ao obviously saw the worry of the visitor, and said again: "But it doesn't matter."

The visitor shook his head resolutely, and said: "This matter is of great importance, only the general can hear it."

This kind of attitude caused Meng Wu and the guards on the side to show angry expressions on their faces. They were about to reprimand, but they suddenly heard Meng Ao say: "Meng Wu, please step aside."

Meng Wu was not angry, but still he could only lead his soldiers back fiercely to the side.

Soon, only Meng Ao and the visitor were face to face.

Surprisingly, it was Meng Ao who spoke first: "Are you Hou's subordinate?"

When the visitor heard this, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and then the surprise on his face turned into admiration.

"As expected, it is General Meng Ao."

The visitor flipped his wrist and threw a small token towards Meng Ao.

Meng Ao took the token in his hand and took a look, and found that the token was made of unknown texture, it looked quite simple in style, and it had a faint fragrance.

The word "Hou" is engraved in seal characters on the front of the token, and "Three One" is engraved on the back.

Meng Ao looked at the token several times over and over, and only after confirming that it was correct, he threw the token back again, and said, "What's the matter?"

The visitor said: "Only just now, the governor of Hedong County, Wang Ji, secretly met with the envoy of Zhao State, and arranged for the envoy to stay in the prefect's mansion. It seems that there is something wrong with him."

Meng Ao was startled, his eyes suddenly burst into light: "Is this really true?"

"really."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Emissary Zhao has already lived in a small building on the southwest side of the Sheriff's Mansion. The general only needs to go and find out."

Meng Ao was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ji, who is Xiangbang Fan Sui's confidant, would betray Qin!

Although it was only the first time meeting the person in front of him, Wang Ji still knew a lot about the intelligence organization under Hou and Hou's command.

Since Shang Yang's political reform, Qin, an unknown secret intelligence organization, has been established.

But after so many years, no one in the political circle of Qin State still knows where the headquarters of this secret intelligence organization is and how many members it has. They only know one name, that is, the top leader of this intelligence organization is called Hou, and even I don't know how many generations it is now.

But what is certain is that Hou has definitely won the trust of the monarchs of the Qin Kingdom in the past, and Hou's subordinates are almost everywhere in the Qin Kingdom, and they may appear anywhere!

There are even rumors that Wei Ran, the Marquis of Rang who shook the country of Qin back then, died under a cup of poisoned wine personally served by the contemporary marquis!

For such an organization, anyone must maintain enough awe.

Because no one wants to be provoked by such an organization, and no one wants to become the next Ranghou Wei Ran!

Meng Ao took a deep breath, stared at the visitor and said, "What should I do?"
