Zhao Tuo was speechless. According to his original plan, he was going to hide in a remote place and wait until the sound of "Prince General Xiang Ning has the guts" sounded. He would look for an opportunity to hug Liu Laosan's thigh tightly and act like a follower.
merit.
As long as he doesn't want to be a prince, Liu Laosan is quite generous to his subordinates.
But he didn't expect that he would be involved in the drama of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin.
Zhao Tuo had no choice. If he had not responded to Yan Ren's recruitment to join the convoy yesterday, he would have starved to death by the Yishui River.
At this time, Heng used his emotions to curse for a long time before he remembered what he was about to say. He looked around and saw no one was around, so he whispered to Zhao Tuo: "Tuo, do you know why these Yan people recruited us?"
Be a charioteer?"
Zhao Tuo raised his head and glanced at the arrow marks on the carriage next to him. The remaining marks were clearly visible.
"It must have been attacked and one of the charioteers was killed."
Heng was shocked and said, "You actually know? Maybe you also overheard what those rangers said."
Zhao Tuo smiled and said nothing. There were many arrow marks remaining on the car. When he came yesterday, Zhao Tuo even saw someone with injuries. It was obvious that he had gone through a fight.
"Hey, do you know who the person who attacked the Yan State envoy is?"
"who is it?"
Zhao Tuo became interested. In history, there is no record of Jing Ke being attacked on the way to assassinate Qin.
Heng glanced around again and whispered: "They are the people sent by Gongzi Jia!"
"Isn't Gongzi Jia joining forces with Yan to fight Qin? How could he send people to attack Yan's envoys?" Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment.
Heng sneered and said: "Of course it's because the Yan people betrayed their allies and joined forces with Gongzi Jia to resist Qin, while at the same time they bowed their knees to the Qin people and asked for peace. Gongzi Jia must have wanted to attack the Yan envoy. If he got the head and the map, the King of Qin would definitely be in trouble.
If you are angry, Qin will not agree to the Yan people's request for peace, let alone make an alliance with Yan."
Zhao Tuo suddenly realized that it seemed that he had too much of a God's perspective and could not see the reality clearly.
His soul came from later generations, and he knew that Jing Ke's trip was ostensibly to present a plan for peace to the King of Qin in order to make an alliance, but in reality he was intending to assassinate him.
At the very core of the Dukang Picture, there is a dagger tempered with deadly poison.
When Tu Qiong Dagger saw him, as long as the King of Qin was distracted for a moment, Jing and Ke rushed forward. One of them caught the King of Qin, and the other attacked with a dagger. With just one blow, he could kill the King of Qin!
It's a pity that Jing Ke's deputy in history was too incompetent, turning this shocking assassination into a farce.
Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin, and the King of Qin walked around the pillar...
These are stories that everyone in later generations will know well, but at this point in time, except for Prince Dan and Jing Ke, only a few people know about them.
Therefore, in the eyes of most people, they thought that the Yan people were sincerely seeking peace. That's why Gongzijia sent people to attack and prevent the Yan people from seeking peace.
However, because the Qin general Wang Jian's army was stationed in Zhongshan not far away, Gongzi Jia was afraid of sending out too many people and irritating the Qin army, so he only sent a small force to attack the Yan convoy, but was defeated by the convoy's guards.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but glance at Heng, this guy is good at asking for information.
But at this moment, Heng's words made Zhao Tuo's heart jump into his throat.
"Tuo, do you think that if we find an opportunity to steal the head or destroy the map, will we be able to destroy the peace treaty between Yan and Qin?"
"Don't mess around!"
Zhao Tuo trembled with fright and growled: "Look at those rangers and the Yan Army soldiers guarding that car, which one can you deal with? Heng, do you believe it or not that you haven't gotten close to that car yet? , he was shot, but don’t go looking for death.”
Just kidding, as an important part of Prince Dan's plan to assassinate Qin, this convoy not only recruited many rangers with high martial arts skills, but also elite soldiers from the Yan army to guard the carriage where the map of Dukang and Fan Yuqi's head were stored.
There are only a few of them, but they are all well-armed, with swords on their waists and crossbows in their hands. They never leave the carriage and are always alert to the surrounding disturbances.
Not to mention Heng and Zhao Tuo, even those Yandi rangers did not dare to approach the carriage where the treasures were stored.
Zhao Tuo and Hengtong were recruited as Zhao's royal guards, and they were close to each other. If Hengtong acted randomly, it would be easy to implicate Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo glared at him, and Heng's newly ignited "ambition" was extinguished, and he whispered: "Tuo, you are right, you are a wise man. I just made a mistake, please don't say it. "
Zhao Tuo nodded, and before he could say something to calm Heng's mood, the four horses pulling the carriage suddenly neighed.
Zhao Tuo turned around and saw a young man walking towards him. He was wearing richly colored dark clothes, a long crown on his head, and a rhinoceros (gold belt hook) inlaid with pearls and jade around his waist, shining brightly in the sunset. It's so dazzling that people can't open their eyes, looking like a proud aristocrat.
"Gentleman."
Zhao Tuo and Heng bowed quickly and lowered their heads to show respect.
The man's nostrils were turned upward, and he pretended not to see the two of them, and walked towards the dead grass where Zhao Tuo had been squatting just now.
He wants to leave the arrow.
"Qin Wuyang, why are you dragging me? I was so scared that I wet my pants when I got to Qin State."
Zhao Tuo had a respectful look on his face, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
The man just now was Jing Ke's deputy on this trip. Qin Wuyang dared to kill people in the street at the age of thirteen, and no one dared to disobey him.
However, after joining the convoy and listening to the discussions of the rangers, Zhao Tuo realized that the reason why Qin Wuyang dared to kill people in the street was not that he was so powerful, but that his grandfather was very powerful.
Qin Wuyang's grandfather was Qin Kai, the general who drove out Donghu for King Yan Zhao, conquered Jizi North Korea, and opened up two thousand miles of territory!
The Qin family is very powerful in the Yan Kingdom and is a first-class noble.
Is it unusual for such a playboy to kill people on the street?
Interrupted by Qin Wuyang, Zhao Tuo and Heng did not dare to say anything more. They finished their meals in a few mouthfuls and returned to their carriages, waiting for the order to set off.
The size of the convoy is not small. In addition to the leading four-horse carriage representing the identity of the envoy, there are more than ten carriages carrying tribute treasures and supplies, all with four horses.
In fact, double-coiled carriages had already appeared at this time. A carriage only needs one horse to pull it, which can greatly save animal power. Compared with a four-horse carriage, it is much less difficult to drive a single horse.
But this convoy represents the face of Yan State. How can it be pulled by one horse?
I, the dignified Yan, don’t want to lose face anymore, so I have to fight!
As a result, the difficulty of driving a carriage has rapidly increased. Controlling a carriage with four strong horses at the same time is beyond the control of ordinary people except for drivers who have been specially trained to drive.
This is why the team recruits riders everywhere, because those rangers don't know how to drive a large carriage!
