When Ying Zheng saw Shu Li getting up, he also got up and asked her.
"I want to go back and take a look." Shuli said softly.
She was sent to the Ghost Valley since she was a child, and the time she spent with her eldest father would not exceed three years at most.
Even so, her eldest father still regarded her as a close relative and treated her very well.
But because it was he who personally sent his son into the abyss of hell.
He could have arranged for his son to be by his side, but because of a sudden thought, his son's life was ruined.
And his daughter-in-law, Shu Li's mother, also followed his son.
Because of this, Shuli's eldest father always avoided Shuli intentionally or unintentionally, perhaps out of guilt for his son and daughter-in-law.
Now three years have passed in a flash, and it turns out that it has been such a long time since Shuli last saw her elder father.
"I'll send someone to escort you back." Ying Zheng looked at Shu Li's leaving figure and said.
He knew that there was little possibility of changing Shu Li's decision, and it was impossible for her to agree to go with him.
"No need." Shu Li stopped, turned around and looked at Ying Zheng, and said with a smile, "I can go faster by myself. Also, be sure not to disturb that person in Xianyang."
Seeing Shu Li's attitude, Ying Zheng didn't say much. He just looked at her quietly and said, "Go early and come back early."
For some reason, Ying Zheng always felt that he and Shu Li seemed to have deviated from the established trajectory and began to slowly separate.
Shu Li's figure had already left the room, but Ying Zheng was still staring in the direction of the door for a long time.
"Someone is coming!"
"Your Majesty." Zhao Gao bowed and trotted into the room.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao.
He originally wanted Zhao Gao to send people from [Luo Sheng] to protect Shu Li secretly, but he was worried that she would find out and become angry with him.
"Can the Changping Lord's Mansion arrange for more personnel?"
"Back to the king, I have sent people to replace some of the servants in Lord Changping's house. I promise that I will closely monitor the whereabouts of Lord Changping and his family, and keep a complete record of every day's actions."
"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded, and then thought of another person, "Has Yan Dan been honest lately?"
"As usual, Yan Dan was accustomed to visiting restaurants and making friends with some competitive rangers. All his daily conversations and whereabouts were also completely recorded."
Shu Li had mentioned Yan Dan's name to him before and said that this person might cause a little trouble in the future.
Although Ying Zheng did not understand, even if Yan Dan was the crown prince of Yan State, Yan State alone had the power to step on anyone.
He really didn't know what kind of trouble Yan Dan would cause him.
Could it be that he surrendered too quickly and his sergeants could not even gain any military merit?
Haha, that is indeed quite troubling.
the other side.
Shuli changed her clothes and left the palace gate.
This time, Shuli did not plan to take the Merchant Alliance's carriage, but chose to ride a horse, which would be faster.
In fact, Shuli could travel faster by himself, but this was just to take care of Qinghe, who was relatively weak.
There is no way, Qinghe is an upright guard.
Before setting off, Shu Li basically learned about Zhao's current situation.
King Zhao was seriously ill and was not sure whether he was close to death, so his brain began to become dim and he was not very clear.
In addition to sending troops to attack Yan State at the beginning of the year and capture Liyang City of Yan State.
So Wang Jian, Huanjie, and Yang Duanhe took the opportunity to lead their troops to attack Zhao State and seize the nine cities in the Ye region that Zhao State had obtained from Wei State.
Even though the war is currently suspended, Shuli's eldest father, Li Mu, was transferred back to the Northland, which had been settled for many years, and replaced him with General Hu Zhui to take over his defense, knowing that the Qin army and Chen Bing were at the border.
However, according to the intelligence sent back by Guo Kai, this military order was not sent by King Zhao himself.
Because King Zhao was seriously ill in the palace and had not seen his ministers for a long time, many orders were conveyed by King Zhao's queen.
Although he didn't know what King Zhao's intention was, Li Mu still accepted the transfer order and returned to the Northland.
Even though Li Mu was granted the title of Prime Minister, he has been increasingly ostracized in the court recently.
At the same time, he also had bad relations with King Zhao's queen and son, so that Li Mu's memorial could never reach King Zhao.
Therefore, Li Mu's departure this time can be regarded as wanting to stay away from this place of right and wrong.
In addition, news from the palace of King Zhao shows:
In recent days, Zhao Changhou has frequently dispatched the imperial guards in the palace under the pretext of King Zhao's orders, as if there is an assassin who wants to kill King Zhao.
All signs indicate that a palace change is about to occur in the Zhao Kingdom.
It seems that it is time to launch the plan that Changan Jun made before.
It has to be said that Lord Chang'an spent countless efforts in order to take revenge on the Zhao royal family, and even the entire Zhao country.
During the time he lived in the Kingdom of Zhao, Lord Chang'an spent an unknown amount of money to bribe all the eunuchs, maids and guards in King Zhao's palace.
In addition, all the servants of Zhao Guogong's office were also bribed by Chang'an Jun.
Shu Li didn't know how much effort Chang'an Jun had put into this.
But more importantly, after buying so many people, no news has been leaked at all so far.
In fact, Chang'an Jun's intention in bribing so many people in the first place was quite cold-blooded, or in his words, it was to pay blood for blood.
He believed that his mother, Zhao Weihou, was forced to death and everyone's hands were stained with blood, so everyone should repay the grudge for killing his mother.
Therefore, the only requirement for those who bought those people was to kill their masters, that is, the numerous officials.
It was a crazy plan, but Changan Jun really did it.
Those who were bribed and replaced completely obeyed the orders of Lord Chang'an. Even Shu Li could not order them. They had their own set tasks.
Chang'an Jun seemed to have prepared for a rainy day. In order to prevent himself from suddenly dying suddenly one day, he gave Shu Li a jade token.
This is the only chance to command those men, and it serves only one purpose: the mission begins.
From the first moment Shuli returned to Handan, people from different offices would suddenly die or disappear every day.
This is the revenge of Lord Changan.
Shuli could only be a bystander in this.
As more and more people from the royal family disappeared, a rumor began to spread in the capital: the royal family had soiled the blood of their ancestors, so the ancestors began to cleanse the filthy descendants.
A rumor that makes no sense, but many people believe it.
After all, even members of the official family far away in the fief died suddenly and violently.
The figure seems to be dead, but there are no wounds on the body, and the breathing is even, as if he is asleep, but he can't wake up no matter what, it is no different from death.
And this also made Shuli couldn't help but think of Chang'an Jun's current symptoms.
So the strange poison in Chang'an Jun was found by himself, or was it made by him?
