Including the Qin family's one hundred dead men, there are more than a thousand pairs of eyes staring at Ji Jie all the time. Even when he boos, hundreds of people will boo at the same time. No matter whether the water can be released or not, anyway, you Whatever I do is what I do.
When Songyang saw this situation, he was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen such high-level defensive measures in such a long time since his debut!
It is said that a master can take the head of an admiral in the midst of thousands of troops. This is just an unreliable legend. No matter how good a person is, if he is placed in front of thousands of troops, the only result will be torture.
"Grandma, under this situation, not even three to five hundred people can even think of touching Ji Jie's hair!" Song Yang cursed and muttered to himself: "There's no way we can do it, so we'd better go back and report it to Mr. Lu! No, just go back like this. , you will definitely be looked down upon, no matter what, you have to give it a try!"
Songyang initially planned to sneak into Ji Jie's camp while he was sleeping, but waited until midnight without a chance to make a move. Those people were so creepy that they divided them into two squads of sentries, with one squad sleeping on the spot and the other continuing to watch intently. In the tent, when it was time to change the shift, those who were sleeping on the ground stood up to answer the call, while those who were originally standing lay down on the ground to sleep.
He had no choice but to find a guy who went out to pee, kill him, exchange clothes, and sneak into the Qin army.
However, he immediately realized the meaning of the word "difficult". As soon as he sneaked in, someone asked him which centurion he belonged to. He quickly pretended to have a stomachache to fool him.
Forget it, Songyang began to back off.
During breakfast the next day, Ji Jie announced that the assassin's name was Song Yang. He originally followed Lord Yangquan, but was later bribed by a high-ranking minister of the Qin State to carry out the assassination mission.
As for who this minister was, Ji Jie did not name him. He only said that this person held a high position in the Qin State, with one person inferior to ten thousand people!
It's amazing, anyone with a brain can think that this person must be Lu Buwei.
A thousand people cursed Lu Buwei, and they all cursed from the bottom of their hearts. The scene was so spectacular! Seeing this scene, Ji Jie couldn't help but think, if he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he wonders if he would be so angry that he would die on the spot.
These soldiers don't care what Lu Buwei's purpose is. In their view, whoever becomes their source of wealth is their enemy.
Especially when they found the body of a companion in a ditch, it meant that the assassin came last night. Fortunately, nothing happened to Ji Jie, otherwise the trouble would have been big.
The standard of the guard has been upgraded once again, no flies can even get in front of him!
Songyang told Lu Buwei the whole situation, and Lu Buwei's beard trembled with anger. This was really a mess without eating the mutton!
"Master Xiangguo, I am incompetent!" Song Yang knelt on the ground and said, "If you can send me three hundred dead soldiers, I will definitely kill Ji Jie!"
"Three hundred people, are you crazy?" Lu Buwei shouted: "With those three hundred people, I still need you. Do you want to make my assassination plan known to everyone? Stand down, no." Something to use!”
"Yes!" Song Yang had a resentful expression on his face when he retreated. It was obvious that he was not convinced by Lu Buwei's way of dealing with things.
Sima Jing advised from the side: "Master Xiangguo, no one expected that things would develop to this point! Maybe Ji Jie's life should not be aborted!"
Lu Buwei waved his hand and said: "No need to say soothing words! Since the assassination can no longer be completed, let him live for a few more days. I will kill him sooner or later!"
Ying Zheng led his ministers to greet him at the gate of Xianyang City. Lu Buwei was smiling like everyone else.
Ji Jie ordered the troops to stop twenty feet away from the city gate. According to the "Zhou Rites", the commander-in-chief of the three armies must dismount at this position and walk to the king.
From the outside, Ji Jie followed the etiquette and no one noticed anything was wrong.
At this moment, a thousand people shouted at the same time: "Prime Minister Lu Buwei is plotting and intends to assassinate meritorious ministers. Please make the decision, your Majesty!"
Everyone, including Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei, was stunned on the spot.
"Prime Minister Lu Buwei is plotting and intending to assassinate meritorious ministers. Please be aware of this, your Majesty!"
There was another shout, and everyone looked at each other, casting doubtful eyes on Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei's back was covered in cold sweat, but his face didn't show it at all. Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Xiangfu, what's going on?"
Lu Buwei replied calmly: "I think there must be some misunderstanding among the officers and soldiers. The meritorious minister in their mouth should be Ji Jie! Does the king remember that it was me who recommended Zhaowen Jun to be the general of the expedition? So what? Will it be detrimental to him?"
Ying Zheng nodded, Lu Buwei's words did make some sense.
Ji Jie sneered. To ordinary people, Lu Buwei's performance today was not faulty. People would even think that he was very magnanimous. In fact, otherwise, if he had never arranged an assassination, he would get angry without thinking. The calmer he appeared, the more calm he became. The explanation is abnormal.
Ji Jie walked up to the King of Qin surrounded by soldiers. Since he was not from Qin, there was no need to kneel down.
"Your Majesty, I will return victorious!" Ji Jie clasped his fists.
"Haha, Lord Zhaowen has lived up to everyone's expectations, I am deeply comforted!" Ying Zheng took a step forward and asked, "What did the sergeants mean by shouting just now?"
What do you mean? Listen to me.
Ji Jie spoke with great emotion, and also told the story of the assassin he met when he first went to the city to "investigate". Ying Zheng's expression changed accordingly.
"Xiangfu, is what Zhao Wenjun said true?" Ying Zheng turned around and asked.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhaowen must have been deceived!" Lu Buwei said with a smile on his face: "The Qin State seems to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact there are undercurrents. They will use various means to suppress the old ministers. I believe Zhao Wenjun can also see this!"
Ying Zheng was young, and the military and political power was in the hands of Lu Dang. Ji Jie knew that it was impossible to shake Lu Buwei's position in Qin just by assassination.
Shrugging, he hummed: "I don't know much about your affairs! Now that I have returned in triumph, please fulfill the promise you made to me before the expedition, as well as the rewards for the soldiers!"
This is considered to have achieved the goal, turning Lu Buwei's conspiracy into a conspiracy.
"No problem, I will order their release right now!" Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "The brave general returned in triumph and offered amnesty to the world. The Qin clan members were acquitted. This matter will be handled by my father-in-law with full authority!"
Ji Jie looked at Lu Buwei with the eyes of a winner and thought to himself, old man, you'd better not make trouble for me again in the future, otherwise you will end up very miserable.
Lu Buwei was dismissive of Ji Jie and was thinking about how to get some benefits from the Qin family. He couldn't just let the Qin family go so easily.
