Chapter 116 Gai Nie
Although there are only two hundred guards, they are all elite soldiers.
Those deserters from the Zhao army who became bandits were nothing more than a mob and vulnerable to attack.
They were quickly disrupted by Ying Zheng's two hundred guards.
However, a few people took advantage of the guards to rush out, went around to the back, and attacked Ying Zheng. Zhao Gao had to draw his sword to resist.
"court death!"
Ying Zheng rode on his horse, pulled out the horizontal sword made by Bai Zhong, and beheaded an enemy with one blow.
His strength was not as strong as that of Bai Zhong, but it was not bad either. It was just that he was dealing with government affairs in the deep palace and had become rusty after not using it for a long time. He easily killed two enemies, but the third enemy sneaked up and attacked with a sword.
Kill the horse.
Caught off guard, Ying Zheng fell off his horse.
Then two more enemies approached, ready to kill Ying Zheng first.
Zhao Gao was shocked and instinctively wanted to save people, but it was too late.
At the critical moment.
A figure appeared on the pile of wood and rocks in front of him.
A man quickly jumped down, drew his sword and swung his sword. The heads of the two people who wanted to kill Ying Zheng flew up on the spot.
The rest of the guards saw the king being attacked and quickly came back to protect him.
Most of the deserters who tried to block the road were killed, and the remaining ones kicked them on the iron plate and ran away, never daring to stay again.
"Thank you knight for saving me!"
Ying Zheng got up a little embarrassed and saw that the person who saved him turned out to be a swordsman.
According to his initial thoughts, he didn't have much feeling for the so-called swordsmen and rangers, they were just a group of idle people, but now he finally changed his mind.
Zhao Gao hurriedly walked over, fearing that the swordsman in front of him was not a good person. He was about to speak, but was glared at by Ying Zheng and immediately lowered his head. However, he and his guards were still cautiously wary of him.
The swordsman glanced at them and said with a smile: "You're welcome, are you going to Handan?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Yes, the knights also go to Handan?"
The swordsman nodded and said: "I heard that Handan has been conquered by the Qin army. I know a friend of the Mo family who said that there is a general in the Qin army who has very strong swordsmanship. I want to compete with him in a sword show. I don't know if I can."
Encounter."
Ying Zheng pondered, which general in the army would be the strongest in swordsmanship?
His first reaction was Bai Zhong, but he took two steps back and finally asked with some vigilance: "Where is the knight from?"
"I have been in the State of Zhao for the past few years. I am considered a native of Zhao. I come from Yuci."
The swordsman said casually.
Upon hearing that he was from Zhao, not only Ying Zheng, but also Zhao Gao put their hands on the hilt of the sword again.
Seeing their vigilance, the swordsman laughed and said, "Are you from Qin? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Ying Zheng asked: "Why?"
"I don't care about Zhao or Qin."
"Qin has already destroyed two countries. It would be great if the remaining four countries could be destroyed as soon as possible."
"Seven countries coexist, and wars continue."
"If there was only Qin in the world, would there still be a fight?"
The swordsman finished speaking casually, turned over the piles of wood and rocks, and strode away.
"well said!"
Ying Zheng did not expect that after Bai Zhong, there would be another person who could understand what he was doing, so he quickly said: "Move those trees and rocks, and quickly follow that knight."
Zhao Gao quickly asked people to trouble him.
When the wood and rocks blocking the road were moved away, they found that the swordsman had not gone far, and had been walking slowly, as if he was not in a hurry to go to Handan for a sword show.
"Excuse me, what do you call a knight?"
Ying Zheng asked.
"Gane!"
The other party said calmly: "Meet the king!"
Ying Zheng said in surprise: "Did you recognize me?"
When Zhao Gao and the others heard this, they immediately stood in front of Ying Zheng and stood ready.
Gai Nie folded his hands and said as he walked: "Just now, the people around the king shouted "Your Majesty", and I heard them. Originally, I wanted to pretend not to know, but this is very boring."
When he talked about the Qin people just now, he did not directly reveal Ying Zheng's identity.
"A chivalrous man with true temperament!"
Ying Zheng laughed and thought this person was very interesting. He could not see any hostility or murderous intention in him. He had the idea of wanting to win over him and invited him to go with him.
This frightened Zhao Gao, but he didn't dare to object, so he had to let Gai Nie follow. Fortunately, Gao Nie really didn't know how to do anything.
Together, they quickly arrived at Handan City.
——
Outside Handan City.
The car from Xianyang had arrived not far outside the city. Wang Jian had already found out the news, so he greeted him outside the city in advance.
The car quickly arrived in front of the city gate.
The person in charge of driving the car was Tu Sui. He waved his hand and stopped.
"Goodbye..."
Wang Jian and the others just opened their mouths.
Tu Sui quickly stopped him and said: "Wait a minute, the king is not here. He has already come ahead of time. Didn't the general see it?"
"What?"
Wang Jian suddenly raised his head and said anxiously: "The king is already here?"
Tu Sui briefly explained Ying Zheng's arrangements.
Wang Jian said anxiously: "General Tu, how can you let the king go first? I can't even see the king here. Someone come and find the king!"
When Tu Sui heard that the king had not arrived yet, he felt that the matter was getting serious, so he became even more anxious and said: "Quickly find the king."
"Keep the change, please!"
At this time, a very majestic voice came from beside them.
Ying Zheng walked into Handan in advance and walked around the familiar places first, then separated from Gai Nie, and then came to the city gate: "I am here."
"Meet the king!"
They were relieved.
As long as the person is fine, it's just a false alarm.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "I wanted to come for a walk in advance and made you worry. This is my fault."
When they heard that Ying Zheng would apologize, they felt that the king was different from before.
However, besides being surprised, they quickly took the blame on themselves and said it was not Ying Zheng's fault.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and interrupted: "I have seen the situation in the city. The general has done a good job. Not only did he control Handan, he also sent porridge to relieve the people. He passed on my order and asked Feng Quji to prepare a batch of food for delivery.
Come here, since I want to govern the State of Zhao, I cannot watch the people starve."
Wang Jian said: "Sending porridge to help the people is General Bai's suggestion and has nothing to do with me."
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Zhong and said with satisfaction: "General Bai, good job. In two days, I will introduce a friend to you."
He always felt that the master of swordsmanship in the Qin army mentioned by Gai Nie was Bai Zhong.
"I am just making suggestions. The specific steps to be taken are all arranged by the general."
Bai Zhong said modestly.
Ying Zheng was in a good mood and said: "Let's go! Let's go to Zhao's palace first. Then you can tell me about the current situation and bring Zhao Qian here."
"only!"
Wang Jian led the way.
Soon we arrived in front of the palace city of Zhao State.
On both sides of the palace gate, there are two bed crossbows, both of which were weapons obtained after the destruction of Korea.
The bed crossbows were left over from the previous attack on the palace city and have never been removed to prevent Zhao nobles from causing trouble. They can be mobilized in the city at any time, and patrol teams can be seen everywhere.
Wang Jian was worried that those nobles would do something.
When Ying Zheng came to the gate, one of the bed crossbows was controlled by a person arranged by a Zhao noble.
They all know that Ying Zheng is coming to Handan, which is a great opportunity for revenge.
On the crossbow on the bed, thick crossbow arrows were always loaded. When Ying Zheng approached, the man suddenly let go of the crossbow arrows and rushed straight towards Ying Zheng.
"King, be careful!"
