Chapter 358: Tu Sui's Death in Battle
The second day after returning to Xianyang.
Baizhong first went to the palace to attend court and participated in the court meeting. After the meeting, he stayed alone to chat with Ying Zheng about the affairs of Peixian County.
"In the end, I know."
Ying Zheng first said: "Cao Qiudao is dead, and the Black Ice Terrace incident is over, but Yan Dan appears again and rescues a Sishui pavilion chief who once helped the Waihuang County magistrate to resist our Great Qin. This matter is a bit strange.
normal."
Bai Zhong also felt that it was very abnormal. Liu Bang did not have any fame now, he was just an ordinary pavilion chief. It was very strange that someone suspected of being Yan Dan had robbed the prison to rescue Liu Bang.
"I don't understand. Back in Waihuang County, Liu Ji was a ranger. When he was chasing Zhang Er, he accidentally let him escape."
"When the world was unified by Your Majesty, he, as a rebel, became the chief of the pavilion. Finally he met the minister, who happened to know him, so he was captured by the magistrate of Peixian County."
"The reason why Yan Dan saved this person is currently unclear, and there are no clues to pursue it."
Bai Zhong explained.
Ying Zheng pondered, wondering why.
"However, I did something wrong."
As he spoke, Bai Zhong bowed again and continued: "Liu Ji has three capable people beside him. I subdued them and brought them back to Xianyang. Liu Ji was able to become the chief of the Sishui Pavilion. He was inseparable from these three people. He should have
They were even punished, but I took it upon myself to pardon them."
He had no intention of hiding this matter from the beginning.
He is in charge of Heibingtai, but the real big boss is Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng had long known about Xiao He's three people.
Out of trust in Bai Zhong, he did not bring it up and did not want to pay attention to it.
Bai Zhong chose to take the initiative to make it public and said: "If Your Majesty feels that something is wrong, I will kill those three people and arrest their families."
"No need!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "Since Mr. Wu An thinks they are useful, you might as well stay for now. I believe you, but I didn't expect that things will become more and more complicated."
He swept across the world, took charge of the world, and had things that even he couldn't control.
"I will find out."
Bai Zhong said.
This matter has an inescapable relationship with him.
Ying Zheng changed the topic and said: "A few days ago, Tu Sui came back with the latest military information. Minyue has been captured by him. Those tribal leaders have completely surrendered to Da Qin, and their results are good!"
"Congratulations, king!"
Hearing him mention this matter, Bai Zhong did not spoil the outcome of this battle in advance.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Fortunately, I do not agree with you, Mr. Wu An. According to the battle report, Baiyue's soldiers are very fierce. If Mr. Wu An really only leads a hundred thousand people south, I am worried about your safety."
Bai Zhong felt warm in his heart and said gratefully: "Thank you for your majesty's concern. However, I am not taking a risk by taking a hundred thousand people south, but I am confident enough. However, I do not insist on going on the expedition. After all, my achievements are so high.
If you are tall, it will easily make others jealous."
Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "Are they Wang Wan and Li Si who are jealous?"
"This is a matter for me. Your Majesty must maintain the balance in the court and cannot always lean towards me."
Bai Zhong shook his head and said.
Ying Zheng said with emotion: "Master Wu An still understands me. As the lord of the Qin Dynasty, I really have a lot to consider."
They chatted for a while, and Ying Zheng asked Bai Zhong to go back and rest.
After walking out of the palace, Bai Zhong did not go home. He first went outside the city to build a strong crossbow. Under normal circumstances, Yuan Hong and the others were here.
"Giant!"
Mo Chen and the others came over to greet them.
At present, the output of strong crossbows is getting higher and higher, especially since Yuan Hong has obtained the complete mechanism of Mohism and improved the process. Although it is still a bit far away from equipping the entire army, the Iron Eagle Rui Shi and the Black Ice Platform have completely achieved the goal.
cover.
Some ordinary soldiers can also obtain equipment.
Bai Zhong briefly asked about Qiannu, then put these aside, brought Yuan Hong and Mo Chen into the room, and asked about the middle-aged man.
"What!"
Yuan Hong was the most surprised.
As a senior of the same generation as the Mo family and Yuan Zong, he had never heard that besides Ju Zi, there was a second person who knew how to use the three major killing moves of Mo Zi's swordsmanship and wanted to steal Ju Zi's order.
Mo Chen frowned and said, "What does that person look like? Can you describe it?"
"Let me draw it!"
Bai Zhong asked someone to bring him paper and pen.
Before traveling through time, he had learned to draw. He would never forget the appearance of a middle-aged man after seeing it once. He quickly drew a rough sketch and put it on the desk.
"I haven't seen it!"
Mo Chen said first.
He also thought that the middle-aged man might be a hidden senior of the Mo family, and as a direct descendant of the Mo family, he might know him.
Yuan Hong shook his head and said: "This man is younger than me and is not an old man, but he also knows the three major killing moves. He may be a descendant of a certain old man of the Mo family, but those old men are not giants.
, where did he learn his three major killing moves?"
Mo Chen said: "Could he be related to the Yuan Zong giant?"
As they said that, their eyes fell on Bai Zhong at the same time.
After all, Bai Zhong is the only disciple of Yuan Zong that they know.
This apprentice, Bai Zhong, was a fake. When he met the middle-aged man, he was thinking that it might be the real descendant of Yuanzong who came to crack down on fakes.
Facing Mo Chen's questioning gaze, Bai Zhong could only persist to the end and could not admit it, saying: "I don't know. At that time, the master gave me the Juzi Order, but he never said that there were other disciples."
Yuan Hong said: "We don't know who this person is."
"Forget it, if he appears once, he will definitely come again a second time."
Bai Zhong ignored this person for the time being, fearing that if he said too much, his fake identity would not be concealed, and he asked again: "How are you doing with your research on mechanism skills?"
Mo Chen said: "The mechanism technique is extremely delicate and not easy to learn. However, we used part of the technology to improve the crossbow, and also made some mechanisms with a relatively simple structure, such as the mechanism kite."
In their opinion, the structure of the Mechanical Kite is relatively simple.
Bai Zhong couldn't imagine what it would be like to be complicated, and said: "It's a pity that I don't understand those things and don't have time, otherwise I could study it with you."
Mo Chen said gratefully: "You have done a lot for our Mo family."
Without Bai Zhong, their Mo family would be in even greater difficulty.
Next, Bai Zhong took a look at the progress here, then said goodbye and left.
There is no need to fight now, and being in Xianyang is boring. He trains soldiers when he has time, and then there is nothing else to do.
Time flies quickly, another month has passed.
Baizhong suddenly received news that Tu Sui was ambushed by local rebel soldiers in the Sanluo area on the bank of the Xijiang River and was killed by an arrow.
Almost all the hundreds of thousands of troops who attacked Baiyue were wiped out, leaving less than 100,000 people who fled to Qianzhong County.
"This is really going to happen!"
After Bai Zhong read the news, he was not surprised.
"Jun Wu'an, the king has summoned you!"
Chapter completed!
