On the road leading from Xianyang to Chenjun, a carriage was walking along. The person in the carriage was Zhang Liang, who was sent to recruit Ying Yao on the order of Fusu. At this moment, Zhang Liang was less than a hundred miles away from Chenjun.
.
In a dense forest two miles in front of Zhang Liang's car, five or six strong and powerful men were crawling in the bushes on one side of the road, holding knives and crossbows, waiting for Zhang Liang's car to enter the dense forest.
"Brother, we have found out clearly that the person in the car is none other than the thief Zhang Liang. His car is less than two miles away." A young man who had just returned from inquiring about the news leaned over and said to the leader.
"Brothers, the opportunity to avenge the king has come. Fusu cannot kill Zhang Liang. Isn't there anything he can do about this little Zhang Liang? If this man hadn't caused trouble in Qingzhang Mountain, would Fusu have raised troops to destroy our South Vietnam Kingdom?
"
"That's right, this time we will definitely kill this thief and avenge the king."
…
These people are the personal followers of Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue. The leader is a middle-aged strong man named Ji Pu. He was originally a descendant of the Korean clan. According to Ji's genealogy, this man is also the brother of Han Wangan, the last king of Korea.
He was only nine years old when Korea was destroyed, but he witnessed with his own eyes the tragic scene of the Korean clan members being killed by the Qin army. The surviving clan members were escorted to Xianyang by the Qin army.
Because Ji Pu was too weak at that time, no Qin army was willing to kill him. After all, killing a child as weak as a chicken was really unworthy of the reputation of a soldier of the Qin Dynasty. In this way, Ji Pu found a way to survive under the Qin army, but
However, he was escorted to Xianyang by the Qin army and imprisoned in a prison.
Eight years later, the First Emperor pardoned the clans of the Six Kingdoms, and he was subsequently released.
When he was released from prison, he was already seventeen years old, just old enough to serve in the military. He had no choice but to join the Qin army, and then followed General Ren Xiao all the way south to Nanhai County.
Zhao Tuo proclaimed himself the Queen of South Vietnam, and Ji Pu was favored by Zhao Tuo and selected to be by his side, becoming a personal follower of South Vietnam King Zhao Tuo.
Since he followed the King of Nanyue, Ji Pu felt that he had a destination. The King of Nanyue's kindness made Ji Pu even more grateful. A person who had suffered from chaos since childhood had finally found his dignity. How could he not be grateful?
?
After Zhao Tuo was forced to death by the Qin army, Ji Pu felt that his world had collapsed. He also thought about burying Zhao Tuo, but his hatred for Fusu made him choose to live in eternity. But Fusu was too much of a thief.
, and protected by many guards, there was no chance to get close for a while, so Ji Pu had to turn his attention to the people around Fusu.
The first person Ji Pu targeted was Zhao Shi, the prince of South Vietnam who surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. When Ji Pu learned that Zhao Shi was willing to exchange the position of governor of South Vietnam for Zhao Tuo, the King of South Vietnam, to be buried outside Dongye City, Ji Pu stopped pursuing Zhao Shi.
The beginning of murderous intention.
After giving up on Zhao Shi, Ji Pu began to look for the next target. After thinking about it, Ji Pu transferred his full hatred to Zhang Liang, because in his opinion, Zhang Liang was the chief culprit who induced Fu Su to destroy the South Vietnam Kingdom.
people.
There is another important reason that subtly increases his hatred of Zhang Liang. This reason is that Zhang Liang's ancestor was the Prime Minister of the Five Dynasties of Han Dynasty, and Zhang Liang was the authentic Prime Minister of the country. It stands to reason that Zhang Liang should hate Qin.
, now that Zhang Liang is serving under Fu Su, in Ji Pu's view, he is a treasonous person who regards thieves as his father, so Zhang Liang becomes the first person on Ji Pu's must-kill list, so Ji Pu brings several people who are just like him.
The brother who was deeply resentful about the death of the King of Nanyue secretly sneaked into the Qin Dynasty, preparing to find an opportunity to assassinate Zhang Liang.
When Ji Pu learned that Zhang Liang was going to Huaiyang to persuade Ying Yao, he was so happy that he immediately led several brothers to leave Xianyang, looking for an opportunity to lurk on the road to Chenjun, waiting for Zhang Liang's arrival.
At this time, Zhang Liang had no idea that he had taken the blame for Fusu to eliminate the South Vietnamese leader and put himself in a huge crisis. He was still leisurely riding a carriage towards the woods ahead.
Drive away.
Just as Zhang Liang's car was about to enter the woods, several frightened birds jumped out of the woods and flew into the sky.
Looking at the birds flying in the sky, the coachman became a little scared. He stopped the carriage and looked around uneasily for a while. Then he stretched his neck and opened his eyes to look at the situation in the forest. Unexpectedly, the mist was billowing in the forest.
Blocking the driver's view.
After waiting and watching for a while, the coachman sat back disappointedly and looked at Zhang Liang with fear on his face.
"Sir, have you seen it?" the coachman asked in fear.
"It's just a few frightened birds, don't panic, just drive your car."
Seeing what Zhang Liang said, the coachman had no choice but to bite the bullet and drive the carriage into the forest.
The tall locust trees were hidden in the mist, and the low shrubs behind them were obscured, adding more uneasiness to the already nervous driver.
The coachman turned around and glanced at Zhang Liang resentfully, secretly blaming Zhang Liang for not bringing his bodyguard with him. When the coachman saw that there was no trace of fear on Zhang Liang's face, his uneasiness also dissipated a lot.
Just when the coachman thought everything was fine, an accident happened unexpectedly;
"Whoosh..." The sound of an arrow shooting through the air instantly broke the silence in the forest.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
"clang……"
The sound of arrows being nailed to the carriage clearly reached Zhang Liang's ears, and the carriage shook slightly.
"Brothers, follow me and kill the dog thief Zhang Liang," Ji Pu shouted and rushed out first.
"Sir, what should I do?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of Ji Pu and others, the coachman was already frightened and at a loss, and asked tremblingly.
At this moment, Zhang Liang was also a little panicked, and then he realized that he had been overconfident this time. Fusu had originally arranged for a Tiger Army of hundreds of people to escort him, but he politely declined.
"Sir, why don't you try to persuade me more?" Zhang Liang sighed with a bitter look on his face.
After hearing what Zhang Liang said, the driver was petrified and couldn't help but despise Zhang Liang: "How can there be such a shameless person in this world!"
After a while, Fusu shouted to the coachman in a hoarse voice:
"Rush, rush for me, you must rush out."
The coachman immediately raised the reins in his hand, slapped the horse's back hard, and let out a loud roar.
I saw Zhang Liang's carriage jumping out in an instant, running rapidly, and headed straight for the exit on the other side of the woods.
Seeing Zhang Liang running away, Ji Pu and others quickly chased after him and ran after the carriage. Unfortunately, his parents' legs were broken, so they could not catch up with the carriage.
After a while, the coachman escaped from Ji Xiong's pursuit and came to the other side of the woods.
Just when Zhang Liang's carriage was about to escape from this deadly forest, a ditch lay across the front of Zhang Liang's carriage, blocking Zhang Liang's escape route.
Zhang Liang looked at the crater in front of him. It was one step wide and ran through the entire road.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Just when Zhang Liang was looking at the pit in front of him, Ji Xiong and others had already caught up and shot sharp arrows at Zhang Liang's carriage.
"It doesn't matter, just rush forward. If you can't rush out, you'll have to fight them."
Zhang Liang ordered the coachman with a sullen face, then took out a long sword from behind and held it tightly in his hand, ready to fight the pursuers at any time.
Looking at the horse that was trying its best to pull the cart but could not pull the cart, Zhang Liang was completely desperate and jumped out of the cart, preparing to fight fiercely with the thieves who were chasing behind him.
"Sir, no, I still have a way." The coachman said and ran to the back of the car.
"Danger, come back." Zhang Liang hurriedly shouted to the coachman, but it was of no avail because the coachman had already ran behind the car at the moment Zhang Liang shouted.
A moment later, Zhang Liang was surprised to find that the wheels of the carriage slowly rose up from the pit and crossed the pit under the pull of the horses. It was obvious that the carriage was pushed out from behind by the driver.
After the carriage got out of trouble, the driver staggered back to Zhang Liang, climbed into the carriage, and staggered back to his seat.
"Sir, get in the car."
Seeing Zhang Liang still dazed beside the carriage, the coachman shouted angrily.
Zhang Liang hurriedly climbed onto the carriage and climbed into the carriage.
Seeing Zhang Liang sit back in the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage to gallop again, leaving Ji Pu and others behind to blow their beards and stare.
After a full stick of incense, the carriage gradually slowed down.
"Sir, please come and drive this carriage for a while. I'm afraid I'm dying." The coachman said weakly to Zhang Liang.
Hearing the fatigue revealed in the coachman's words, Zhang Liang immediately realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, sat next to the coachman, and looked at the coachman carefully.
