Chapter 138 Circulation
The battle of Yaoshan was fierce.
Above the mountains, the clouds are misty. It's just that the color of the landscape, which was originally light, is now covered with a touch of blood.
"The Qin army has the toughness of Huai Ai's soldiers and the sharpness of Meng Ao's veteran generals, but it has always been difficult to deal with Li Mu."
Zhao Shuang sighed.
Since the deaths of Bai Qi and Lian Po, this should be the highest level showdown between military strategists.
Meng Ao can be said to be the strongest general in Qin since Bai Qi and before Wang Jian.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't break through Li Mu's defense.
"My lord!"
White feathers were flying, and Bai Feng's figure appeared behind Zhao Shuang, half-kneeling on the ground.
"The matter has been settled."
"You return to Shangyu and tell Dianqing that in the next period of time, the Mohist family's power in Qin and Chu will accelerate its expansion, so that he can prepare."
"In addition, Dianqing told me earlier that the two spies sent by Lord Changping suddenly disappeared, leaving him no need to pursue the case further."
"promise!"
Bai Feng cupped his hands and spoke immediately.
"I returned from Yandi, and along the way I heard that the Chu State was going to take big action against Baiyue because of the shame of killing Chu officials for Xue Tianze. Tianze has just returned to the country, will he not be able to hold on?"
"The Chu State is just a bluff. Now the main force of the Chu army is still near Chendi, protecting the capital and dreaming of retaking Nanjun. If we want to attack the Dongyue King's City, we simply don't have enough naval forces."
"If Tianze can't even handle a partial army, his throne won't be secure either."
"My subordinate understands."
Zhao Shuang nodded, waved his sleeves, and Bai Feng's figure disappeared from the place, as if it had never appeared before.
Only pieces of white feathers were left, flying between heaven and earth.
Zhao Shuang glanced at Bai Feng's retreating voice and murmured.
"This kid's Qinggong is getting better and better."
Qin State, Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Who asked you to use Taiyuan's Jingqi to fight against Li Mu?"
Lao Ai knelt in front of Lu Buwei, with visible anger on his face.
"My subordinates just wanted to share the worries of Xiangbang! But I didn't expect that."
It was okay if Lao Ai didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, Lu Buwei smashed the bamboo slips in his hand.
“Years of hard work, ruined in one fell swoop.”
"If you make your own decisions next time, what I want is your life. Go back to Yongdi!"
"promise!"
Lao Ai stood up and his figure disappeared from sight. Lu Buwei's anger still did not subside.
Wei Zhuang stood beside him with his sword in hand, saying nothing. Because he couldn't figure out how much of Lu Buwei's anger was true and how false?
"Weizhuang, what do you think?"
After a while, Lu Buwei leaned on the cushion behind his back and took a more relaxed posture.
"Does Xiangbang refer to the war ahead?"
Lu Buwei smiled and looked at Wei Zhuang.
"You are a smart person, why do you need to pretend to be confused? What do you think of Lao Ai?"
The matter involved the secrets of the palace, and Wei Zhuang did not dare to say anything more, so he only said one sentence.
"He is not a qualified assassin, nor a qualified general. Why did the prime minister give him the sun and let him take charge of the troops in Taiyuan?"
Lu Buwei smiled and said.
"These were not given by me, but by the Queen Mother."
Lu Buwei sighed leisurely, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"The Queen Mother is not as far away as Mi Bazi!"
Huayang Palace.
"Why is Queen Mother Huayang so interested in having tea with this old man today?"
The courtyard was quiet and quiet, and Zhao Laosi sat opposite the Queen Mother Huayang, looking decrepit.
"You old guy, there's no one else here, aren't you tired of just pretending?"
Zhao Laosi picked up the teacup in his hand, his hands trembling slightly.
"What are you talking about, the Queen Mother of Huayang? I am already at this age. She has grown old a long time ago and does not have the ambition of the past. But I would like to congratulate the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother Zhao moved to Yongwang Palace. The entire harem in Xianyang is yours." world."
Zhao Laosi smiled, drank the tea in the cup, and put it down with trembling hands.
In fact, in the Xianyang harem, in addition to the Queen Mother Huayang, there was also the Queen Mother Xia, the biological mother of King Zhuang Xiang. However, although the Queen Mother Xia is the biological mother, she is not the legitimate mother. Regardless of her status or power, she has always been suppressed by the Queen Mother Huayang.
Zhao Laosi pretended to be crazy and acted foolishly, but Queen Mother Huayang seemed to be very frank.
"What happened to Mr. Chang Ping earlier was just children playing around, it cannot be taken seriously."
Ever since Zhao Laosi brought a group of distinguished veterans to Lu Buwei's house, Lord Changping seemed to regard him as a political enemy. He did nothing openly but secretly manipulated him.
However, now the Queen Mother Huayang passed her by with a gentle word, but it seemed like the wind was clear and the clouds were calm.
"There is really no harm in children playing around."
When Zhao Laosi smiled, his aura changed slightly, like a tiger roaring in the forest, but it disappeared in a flash.
"It's just that if the adults don't discipline him and let him run around, it won't be good."
Seeing Zhao Laosi like this, Queen Mother Huayang finally showed a smile on her face. She raised the teacup in her hand and bowed slightly.
"The Ai family has already disciplined the men that Lord Changping sent to Zhaojiacun and Shangyu in Yongdi."
"In that case, what else does Queen Mother Huayang have to do?"
"You old guy, you pretend to be confused while pretending to understand. Lu Buwei has controlled the Qin Dynasty for so many years without revealing any flaws. However, his power is no longer monolithic."
Zhao Laosi smiled and raised the teacup in his hand.
"In this game, I will follow you as much as the Queen Mother Huayang places."
"What's going on?"
Lord Changping looked at his most capable men lying on stretchers, missing their eyes, ears, and tongues.
In front of him stood a swordsman in black.
"The Queen Mother Huayang has something to say to your Majesty. These people saw and heard things they shouldn't see and hear, so they became like this. I hope your Majesty will remember this lesson. .”
After saying that, the swordsman in black turned and left Lord Changping's mansion.
Mr. Changping was a little frightened. This was the first time that the Queen Mother Huayang taught him such a big lesson.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Chang Pingjun's back. He raised his head and glanced at the half-dead men on the stretcher, feeling a little unbearable.
"Give them a happy life and give their family a pension."
"promise!"
What's going on?
Mohist camp.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Qin Wuyang walked into the house and saw that Yan Dan looked very bad.
"There is news from the Yan Kingdom. In the days since I have been away, Lord Yan Chun has been slandering my father. He has also been tampering with people up and down the court."
"Jun Yanchun has always been like this."
As the younger brother of King Yan, the uncle of Yan Dan did not take the prince seriously at all, but opposed him everywhere.
"But this time is different. He also tried his best to encourage his father to take advantage of this war between Qin and Zhao to raise a large army and attack Zhao."
"What?"
Qin Wuyang's expression changed. He knew very well what consequences this decision would have if it succeeded.
"What are you going to do, Your Highness?"
"I can't stay here any longer. I must return to Yan Kingdom as soon as possible to dissuade my father."
"But what will we do if His Highness leaves?"
Yan Dan shook his head. Just when he didn't know how to decide, the voice of a Mohist disciple rang in his ears.
"The commander-in-chief is back!"
