Chapter 300 Opportunity

Next to Ziwu Road, there is a cherry blossom garden in the mountains.

The cherry blossoms fall slowly and create ripples in the hot spring water.

Zhao Shuang had just returned from Huayang Palace and experienced several hours of turbulence. When he returned here, Zhao Shuang was a little tired.

Sitting in the hot spring water, the mist rose, and the feeling of fatigue gradually subsided. Zhao Shuang raised his head, picked up the wine bottle beside him, and poured himself a glass of wine.

Sakura Garden is like a castle. In this semi-enclosed space, there are hundreds of guards and a large number of handymen, all of whom came from Zhaojiacun, staying here as standing personnel.

"My lord!"

Bai Feng's figure fell from the branches and landed in front of Zhao Shuang, kneeling on the ground with one knee.

"how?"

"The last batch of supplies has been transported and stored in the arsenal."

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the lights in the courtyard reflected each other. Although they were in the same place, it felt like the world was divided into two layers.

Zhao Shuang stood up from the pool, and Bai Feng put light clothes on him.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Bai Feng picked up the palace lantern from the side and led the way through the long and complicated road, turned several turns, and finally arrived in front of the arsenal.

The door was closed, and the twelve guards guarding the arsenal saw Zhao Shuang coming and opened the warehouse behind them.

The copper machine rotated, only a clicking sound was heard, and the door slowly opened.

In the arsenal, unlike the sultry climate outside, it seemed a bit cold. Bundles of arrows were placed on the platform, arranged in layers, densely packed.

A bundle of one hundred arrows is exactly the number of arrows an archer carries in a battle. And here, there are a thousand bundles.

"One hundred thousand arrows are all available."

Bai Feng said, seeing Zhao Shuang walking over, he randomly pulled out an arrow from a bundle and inspected it.

"It seems that the skills of the disciples in the Mohist workshop have improved again, and the quality of these arrows is getting better and better."

Bai Feng followed with a smile. After all, the young disciples in the Mohist workshop were indeed not very good at craftsmanship at first; of course, as time went by and their proficiency increased, so did their production level.

There was a rumbling sound, and faint electric light flickered in the sky outside the door. Seeing that the rain was about to start, Zhao Shuang continued to walk to the warehouse inside. The next three warehouses stored swords, long soldiers, and armor respectively. After Zhao Shuang checked them one by one, he left with peace of mind.

By this time, the rain had started, and when we walked to the door, the guards on both sides had already put on their raincoats. Bai Feng held up an umbrella and held it up for Zhao Shuang.

The reason why Zhao Shuang cares so much about this place is because the weapons and equipment there are very important.

"It's about time they arrived too!"

Zhao Shuang raised his head, and the dark clouds in the sky became more and more wrinkled, threatening to cover him. The rain fell in a large area and soon covered the earth, covering up all sounds.

Just as a thunder struck, figures appeared in front of Zhao Shuang. The leader was wearing a black cloak, covering everything, and was walking slowly.

As he got closer, the man's face gradually became clearer in the light. It was a fair and flawless face, and there was a lot of joy in his smart eyes.

"My lord, Yan Lingji has been ordered to bring the manpower!"

In the house, anxious figures walked back and forth, looking a little impetuous everywhere.

Lao Ai sat in the middle of the room, watching the actions of his subordinates, but there was no emotion on his face.

"Master Hou, what should we do now?"

These people who relied on Lao Ai to reach high positions seemed very panicked at the moment, because everyone knew that something was not going well.

"We actually have only one choice before us."

After Lao Ai said this, she didn't say any more. One of them looked at Lao Ai, seeming to realize something. He is Lao Ai's confidant and holds the position of internal historian. He can be said to be the most important person among this group of people.

"Master Hou, you mean..."

Lao Ai nodded with a firm attitude.

"Si, you guessed it right. At this point, we can only continue to do the unfinished things."

Everyone held their breath, feeling that Lao Ai's words were a bit sensational. If that person is assassinated while secretly traveling to another country, it is an accident, or even a scandal that must be covered up.

But here - on the land of Qin - the meaning is completely different.

This is treason!

Three clans are implicated, and they will die without a place. Thinking about the consequences, this group of people felt chills in their hearts.

"There is no other way. Once the King of Qin comes to power, Lu Buwei will definitely lose power, and the Queen Mother will become a powerless person, and we people will not end well."

"But the Marquis is the Marquis of Che after all and has his own fief. Even so, you can return to the fief and keep your wealth, so why bother to rebel?"

Not everyone has the courage to do such a thing as treason. If you win, you will gain a lot, but if you lose, you will lose everything.

But Nei Shisi's words didn't sound like he was thinking about himself, but rather like he was planning for Lao Ai's future. After all, the position of internal historian is of great importance. Once Lao Ai loses power, it will be impossible for him to retain this position.

"You are too naive. Of course I am willing to retreat, but Zhao Shuang, Chang Pingjun, and those large and small clans, will they let us go? Don't forget, what we have now comes from those Those who support Chenglong are bitten off bit by bit.”

"But we don't have enough people."

In Guanzhong, the only area Lao Ai could control was Yongcheng and several nearby counties; the only manpower he could use were the guards in Yongcheng's palace, himself and his subordinates, and some county soldiers.

Lao Ai has a lot of troops, but trying to attack Xianyang is nothing more than a dream. I'm afraid that before they can gather together, they will be exterminated by the captain's army near Xianyang...

"Send envoys to contact the Dukes of Rongdi in the west. Many of them are angry that Yiqu was destroyed by Qin. Tell them to follow me and Yiqu can come back."

The net has been infiltrating Rong Di on the border for a long time. At this time, we contacted each other to make an appointment, and the probability of success was very high. If they had the help of their troops, Lao Ai would be more confident.

"But even so, it's still difficult to succeed."

The Qin State had very strict supervision over these Rongdi County Dukes. While giving them a comfortable life, it also prevented them from gathering their remaining troops and inciting mutiny.

If there is any disturbance at the border, I am afraid that Xianyang has already gotten the news and will alert the snake.

"Wait! The opportunity will come. As long as it is stabbed in the right place, even a needle can kill someone!"

Lao Ai held her hands, her eyes flashing with luster.

Under the darkness, several carriages were parked in the countryside. Thousands of guards following the carriage spread out to guard the surrounding areas.

Meng Tian came on horseback and reported.

"Your Majesty, Xianyang has arrived!"

"Are you here already?"

A response came from the carriage. Meng Tian was about to leave on horseback when he saw the door of a car behind opened and a young man stepped out, a little excited.

"Is this Xianyang? It's really magnificent!"

Han Fei looked at the outline of the city hidden in the night and smiled slightly.
