Chapter 308 Li An Jun has no grievances with me, so kill him anyway(1/2)
The Wang family and his son knew very well that Zhao Kun was going to rebel. Now that this situation has arisen, the father and son naturally became more alert.
Ying Zheng is old, this must be acknowledged.
If something unexpected happens, the destiny of Da Qin will change.
However, Wang Ben's current question is, if the Great Qin Dynasty really changes, who is instigating these people?
Is it Fusu, Hu Hai, or someone else...
After drinking a glass of strong wine, Wang Ben smacked his lips and said, "That boy Zhao Kun saved me. This life of mine belongs to him. Meng Tian is different from me. He only focuses on Fusu;
Fusu's character is just like that, I don't judge him, but I understand Meng Tian's character, and he won't do this."
"Um?"
Wang Li was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "What do you mean, dad, there is something wrong with the people around your majesty?"
"Aside from Fusu, the people most likely to inherit the throne are Zhao Kun and Hu Hai..."
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Li and said seriously: "I know that you have a good relationship with Zhao Kun, but I have to remind you that the Wang family has been loyal to the Qin Dynasty for generations. If Zhao Kun is here, we will support him. If Zhao Kun is not there, no matter who succeeds him.
You, we cannot disrupt the country!"
"Dad, don't worry, my child knows what's appropriate!"
Wang Li nodded solemnly, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
........
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Li led a dozen soldiers and rode out from Didao City Gate.
As for the civil servants who announced the decree, they followed closely behind.
The team headed south along the official road, heading towards Ganquan Palace at high speed.
After setting off from Didao in about one morning, the team had traveled hundreds of miles.
The pro-army troops under Wang Li were naturally used to this kind of rapid march, but the several civil servants who had been following Wang Li were obviously unable to bear it.
When passing by a small town in Wushan, the civil servant named the leader hurriedly ran to tell Wang Li: "Marquis Pinyang, we have traveled more than a hundred miles, do you want to take a rest?"
"What are you resting for?"
Wang Li rode on the horse, looked down at the other party, and sneered: "Didn't you say that Your Majesty is anxious for me to report the military situation? Why can't you bear it after only one morning's journey?"
"this....."
"What is this? According to this progress, when can I go to Ganquan Palace to meet His Majesty?"
The leading civil servant pointed to several colleagues who were rubbing their waists in the distance, and said with a grimace: "Marquis Pinyang, I know that I can't delay my trip, but my colleagues will not leave even if they live or die!"
As he said this, he glanced at Wang Li's personal guards and said with emotion: "We are no better than the warriors in the army, we can't stand the rapid march!"
"What about His Majesty's decree?" Wang Li felt a little funny in his heart, but asked lightly.
"Your Majesty is anxious, but if this continues, everyone will be exhausted. Let's just rest for a while and then rush on our way. What do you think?"
"If His Majesty is to blame, you can explain it to me, but I don't care..."
The chief civil servant was overjoyed when he heard Wang Li's words, but said sincerely: "Don't worry, Marquis Pinyang, we will report to your majesty truthfully!"
"In that case, let's take a rest!"
The corners of Wang Li's mouth raised slightly, and he didn't say much. He just turned his head and nodded to the soldiers behind him.
When Wang Li nodded, more than a dozen soldiers dismounted.
Three people are responsible for guarding, three people are responsible for taking care of the horses, and the rest are guarding Wang Li to protect his safety.
There happened to be a small stall on the roadside.
It looks like it's an inn.
Before and after the unification of the Qin State, many straight roads and chi roads were built, mainly for quickly dispatching troops and quickly communicating with border officials.
Border places such as Jiuyuan County, Liaodong County, Lingnan, and Jiujiang are all connected by Chidao.
There will be a post station every hundred miles on the Chi Road.
The function of this kind of post station is to facilitate the rest of the soldiers delivering messages, and to maintain smooth roads.
A group of people came to the inn to rest. There were not many people in the inn, only four or five people.
"Where are you guys coming from and where are you going from?"
The moment Wang Li and others walked into the threshold, a thin old man walked up with a smile.
In the Qin State, the distinction between sergeant titles was mainly based on the decoration on the armor.
The higher the title, the more exquisite the decoration will be.
Although Wang Li had no decorations on his body, he was wearing a gorgeous armor, which made him look like he was no ordinary soldier.
Seeing the old man chatting him up, Wang Li waved his hand expressionlessly: "Stop saying flattery, prepare food, we have eaten, and we have to go on our way!"
"Yes yes yes!"
The old man nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then said with a smile on his face: "Several generals, please invite me. I am the postmaster of this post, but if you need it, just give me your orders!"
After saying that, he turned around and went to prepare the food.
At this time, Wang Li's troops consciously guarded the door.
The messenger who was resting on the side saw the behavior of Wang Li's troops and couldn't help but kindly reminded: "Sir Shangguan, this is our territory of the Qin State. There are no bandits to harass you. Shangs don't have to worry!"
Hearing this, Wang Li's soldiers looked at him intently and paid no attention to him.
The Military Affairs Sima who was following Wang Li glanced at the sergeants in the inn and said coldly: "Prepare good fodder and send it to the outside of the inn. Otherwise, you can help!"
"this......"
The sergeants in the post station were subordinates of the postmaster. Seeing that the postmaster was polite to them, they naturally did not dare to defend themselves. After hesitating for a moment, they went to prepare the fodder honestly.
Not long after, Yi Cheng came to Wang Li and others with food.
At this time, the civil servants were sitting across from Wang Li, rubbing their waists while shaking.
Wang Li, on the other hand, closed his eyes and rested in the presence of the old god.
"General, the food you want has been prepared!" Yi Cheng reminded carefully, and then placed the food on the tables of Wang Li and several civil servants.
Wang Li opened his eyes, took a look at the food on the table, and found that it was actually mutton soup, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
At this moment, the postman enthusiastically introduced: "General, please try it. This is the shepherd brought from the border area. It is the wine brewed by the old man himself. Although it is not a high-quality wine, it has a unique flavor!"
As he spoke, he bowed his body and opened the mud seal that sealed the wine jar.
After the mud seal was opened, a smell of wine suddenly filled the entire inn hall.
Wang Li is good at wine. When he smells the aroma of the wine, he knows that the wine is good.
He sniffed lightly, nodded with a smile and said, "It's rare to be able to taste such a unique wine in this small inn!"
"The general is knowledgeable and well-informed. If he can be praised by the general, I will be satisfied!"
Yi Cheng said and respectfully poured a bowl of wine for Wang Li.
However, Wang Li did not drink the bowl of wine or eat the pot of meat. He just smiled and said to Yi Cheng: "Thank you for your hard work, Yi Cheng."
"Whatever the general said, this is what the old man should do!" Yi Cheng shook his head quickly.
"Well, it is indeed what it should be!"
Wang Li nodded with a smile, and then said with interest: "The meat of this shepherd's sheep is very firm. If it is not stewed for a longer time, it will be difficult to eat. Yi Cheng's mutton is cooked just right. If you come earlier or come later,
A little, I’m afraid it will be difficult to taste such delicious food!”
"Haha, the general looks like he knows how to eat!"
"My general not only understands food, but also understands people. Yi Cheng cooks mutton according to my schedule. It's really hard work!"
Buzz——
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire inn hall fell into deathly silence.
The expression on Yi Cheng's face was extremely wonderful. Wang Li looked at him with a half-smile but said nothing.
After hesitating for a moment, Yi Cheng said bravely: "General, you are joking. As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. This incident is purely coincidental. I hope General will not be suspicious..."
"If the general really doubts me, I will immediately remove this table of food and wine and buy you a new one!"
With that said, he was ready to put away the food and wine.
"Wait!"
When Wang Li saw Yi Cheng tidying up, he immediately gave a low shout, and then with lightning speed, he quickly grabbed Yi Cheng's somewhat withered palm.
"ah?"
Yi Cheng was startled and quickly tried to take out his palm, but Wang Li's strength was surprisingly strong and he turned his palm over, only to see a thick layer of calluses full of tiger's mouth.
There are calluses on the tiger's mouth, indicating that this person has been holding weapons all year round.
Although there are also sergeants serving as minor officials at the inn, such thick calluses are definitely the result of diligent practice.
