Chapter 573 The ugly-looking Changping Lord(1/2)

"My lord, my lord!!!"

In the main hall, the smell of wine was wafting around, and while many scholars were still having fun, a servant hurriedly walked in the main hall and came to Lord Changping in a panic.

Everyone else had drunk too much and didn't care. After all, we were in Lord Changping's mansion, and it was normal for servants to report something to Lord Changping.

The same is true for Sima Xing.

The drunken Sima Xing had not noticed that after hearing the report from the servant beside him, Changping Jun's expression changed with shock, and his pupils were full of fear as he looked at the servant.

"What? Iron cavalry?"

At this moment, Lord Changping looked flustered and looked very ugly.

what happened?

How could the cavalry sneak into the city? Why did so many cavalry sneak into the city, but he, the prime minister of Qin, did not receive any news?

What frightened Mr. Changping even more was the thought that came to his mind: Who can order the cavalry without authorization?

In times of panic.

Lord Changping raised his head, glanced at everyone, and finally looked at the drunken Sima Xing.

"Should we immediately order the dead soldiers in the mansion to come in, kill Sima Xing, and force the nobles to rebel against Qin?"

As soon as this idea came to mind, Lord Changping rejected it.

There are already cavalrymen sneaking into the city. Even if he kills Sima Xing and successfully forces the Wei nobles to rebel, there will be no way to deal with the cavalrymen in a short period of time, let alone the iron eagle warriors outside the city.

The soldiers of the Wei State are all in Qufu. Even if the nobles order people to instigate, it will take time, and it cannot be accomplished in three or five days.

Unable to guard the city gate of Daliang and keep the iron cavalry and iron eagle warriors out of the city, the Wei nobles had no chance at all. All the nobles concentrated on raising strength to fight against Qin.

That now.

Should I run to Chu State immediately?

No, if he leaves, he will undoubtedly tell the world directly that he did this. Moreover, if it is really exposed at this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get out of the city gate. Even if he finally gets out of the city, he will face pursuit.

At the moment, Iron Cavalry has not come to this mansion, and it seems that he does not know that he is planning the assassination.

Think of these.

Changping Jun finally calmed down slowly. While taking a breath, he suppressed his fear and panic and forced himself to calm down, never showing it.

It’s better to go to Concubine Qi first! It’s better to find out the whole story!

"Everyone!"

After Lord Changping made his decision, he stood up immediately without any further hesitation.

In the main hall.

When other drunk people heard Changping Jun's voice, they came over one after another, not knowing what was going on. One or two of them thought that Changping Jun was going to say something good, so they all picked up the wine glasses and were ready to toast at any time.

Sima Xing also suppressed his sleepiness and looked at Lord Changping with drowsy eyes.

"Just now, my servant came to report that a thief assassinated Concubine Qi. I will excuse you now!"

Mr. Changping didn't say anything more. After simply saying a few words, he walked around the wooden table and walked outside.

Assassinate Concubine Qi?

What is this? What is this?

The scholars who were holding the wine cup and were about to toast did not react when they heard Chang Pingjun's words. However, when they reacted the next moment, their eyes widened. The wine cup in their hands fell to the wooden table, and the wine flowed out instantly.

Assassinate Concubine Qi!!!

Not to mention these two scholars, the other scholars had also come to their senses. Although they were drunk, they were all shocked when they heard the news.

"Kill Concubine Qi?"

Sima Xing also knelt down behind the wooden table with a dull look on his face. After regaining consciousness, Sima Xing turned his eyes to look at Chang Pingjun's leaving figure. He was full of panic and got up in a hurry. Because he drank too much, he stumbled and almost stood up.

Unstable.

But how could Sima Xing care about this at this time? When he heard that Concubine Qi was assassinated, Sima Xing's burly face turned pale with fright, and he broke out in a sweat, and his drunkenness suddenly disappeared.

Sima Xing couldn't imagine how he would have the dignity to return to Xianyang and see Ying Zheng if something happened to Concubine Qi.

"Walk!"

After the corpses were reunited, the two Shichuan brothers looked at each other and their alcoholism dissipated a lot. They stood up quickly and followed behind them and left together.

When other noble men saw this, they also stood up and left.

Inside Daliang City.

In the dark of night, the streets were filled with people standing and watching.

Looking at the light of raging fire coming from other places not far away, many people started talking, but no one dared to get too close without permission. They could only watch the fire from a distance, for fear of coming over.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!!"

As the sound of hoofbeats came, a galloping war horse roared past.

Not long after, the Qin officials holding torches finally arrived belatedly. As the people gave way, horse-drawn carriages hurriedly passed by the people.

However, before the carriage arrived at Fengze Mansion, on a street, both war horses and carriages stopped.

Sima Xing reined in his horse and looked at the streets in front of him, which were littered with corpses, including men in civilian clothes. Some were killed by arrows, some were killed by sharp swords, and there were also iron cavalry soldiers lying on the ground.

This scene made Sima Xing burst into tears as he looked at the blood-stained cavalry soldiers with red eyes.

A flash of anger filled Sima Xing's entire chest, and Sima Xing wanted to cut those corpses into pieces.

"Who are your generals?"

Sima Xing looked at a cavalry soldier and asked with rapid breathing.

"Return to General, Wu Huai!"

The soldiers handed over their hands and reported.

Not far away, Wu Huai also saw this scene, so he got up from the ground and walked over step by step.

"Wu Huai, meet General Sima!"

Wu Huai bowed his hands in salute and looked at Sima Xing. Naturally, this was not the first time Wu Huai had seen him. He had often met him when he followed General Bai Yu in his early years.

However, Wu Huai also knew that General Sima Xing probably didn't know him.

"How would you know there was an assassination tonight?"

Si Ma

Huai was also seriously injured.

"I received the news from the gatekeepers in the city!"

When Wu Huai heard Sima Xing's words, his lips moved. However, he looked behind Sima Xing at the men who got off the carriage and turned to Sima Xing to report the report.

It was very dark, but Sima Xing, who was the closest, obviously noticed the words on Wu Huai's lips. After thinking for a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his expression, but fortunately it disappeared quickly.

Seeing Wu Huai's actions, Sima Xing, as a general of the Qin State, naturally understood what it meant and what he was afraid of, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Give me the list of all fallen soldiers tomorrow! When we return to Xianyang, I will not only reward all the soldiers tonight, but also give them to the parents, wives and children of those fallen soldiers."

Sima Xing said.

He glanced at the corpses on the streets around him. In the light of the fire, the shops on both sides of the street were covered in blood, and some wooden boards were dripping with blood.

Sima Xing could see how brutal the fighting here was.

Recalling that he was drinking and having fun just now, Sima Xing felt full of regret.

"promise!"

Wu Huai bowed his hands to Sima Xing.

At this time, the cavalry soldiers had already carried the corpses to both sides of the road. Among the countless corpses, a road covered with blood appeared.

Seeing Lord Changping's carriage approaching, Sima Xing hurriedly rode on horseback and continued towards Lord Fengze's residence.

Wu Huai, who was holding a sharp sword, looked at the back of Sima Xing riding away. His face was full of blood, and his expression seemed a little tired. He came to a nearby shop, leaning on his sword with one hand, and watched the carriages driving by.

And passed.

Fengzejun's residence.

I thought that all the assassins in Wu Huai had been intercepted by Wu Huai. Even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they would not be a threat to Fengze Mansion. However, when Sima Xing rode back to Fengze Mansion, the scene that caught his eye was:

It completely made Sima Xing truly realize how serious the matter was.

All corpses!

At a glance, not only were there corpses all around the mansion, but also in other streets and alleys, one could see cavalry soldiers and iron eagle warriors carrying corpses.

How many people are there?

Sima Xing was dumbfounded and stunned. He couldn't imagine how dangerous the situation just now was. There were actually... so many thieves.

A trace of sweat appeared on Sima Xing's forehead, slowly flowing down, and a chill spread all over Sima Xing's body.
To be continued...
