Chapter Eighteen: The Man in Gray
Ying Zheng's carriage did not attract anyone's attention when it came all the way, but there were more people in front, and there were many people setting up stalls around. It was not easy for the two horses pulling the carriage to get in. Wang Jian jumped out first, and the one in front was on his way.
As soon as the coachman got off, Zhao Gao, who was sitting in front of the carriage, had already got off the carriage and knelt down on the ground. When he came out this time, Ying Zheng took him with him for some reason. Ordinary dignitaries got off the carriage.
At any time, one person has to kneel down first to make it easier to set up a human ladder and ask the master to come down. Since Zhao Gao came out, he will naturally do this work. Although Ying Zheng has martial arts, he is in full view of everyone at this time.
Instead of jumping off the carriage, he stepped on the waiter's back and walked off.
His actions caused many common people who turned their heads to watch the excitement to suddenly have a hint of understanding and disdain in their eyes. They just thought it was some elegant aristocratic boy who was out wandering around. Such scenes are not uncommon, although Ying
Zheng and his entourage looked like they had an extraordinary temperament, but when they got out of the car, they had to step on their backs. Everyone thought that this was just an ignorant young man who didn't have much force and wanted to hang a long sword on his body for decoration.
That's all.
The Qin State admires martial arts, and although it respects the nobles, it is not very afraid of them. After all, according to the Qin State's rules, even ordinary civilians, as long as they are willing to go into battle to kill the enemy, are not afraid of death, and are willing to fight hard, military merit is not hard to come by.
, if you are lucky and talented, it is not impossible to become a powerful general with a commoner body. Therefore, Ying Zheng and his party looked like nobles, but seeing that he had no martial arts skills, everyone only glanced at him.
Then he turned away again.
Only a middle-aged man wearing gray clothes and a full beard among the crowd glanced here with a gloomy look. When he saw this scene, he frowned, as if he was a little entangled and suspicious. Ying Zheng's eyelids slightly
He lowered his head to hide the murderous intent and coldness in his eyes. Yu Liao was already calmly stroking his long beard and walked to Ying Zheng's side. He looked like an old man in appearance. Although he had a very good demeanor and an extraordinary bearing, he looked very handsome.
He looked like an immortal, but he was an old man after all, and he was unarmed. The middle-aged man with a beard did not pay attention to him, but instead focused his attention on Wang Jian.
On the body.
At this moment, the ranger who was wielding a sword in the crowd suddenly seemed to have exerted too much force. The bronze sword he was holding flew straight out of his hand and flew over.
"Ah!" Everyone was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. They hurriedly retreated to avoid the situation. The sound of exclamations could not be heard. The copper ring decorated with the animal's mouth on the back of the big knife made a crisp sound due to the rapid impact.
The loud voice, with the momentum of flying in the air, narrowly passed over everyone's heads and flew straight towards Ying Zheng! Wang Jian's eyes shrank, although he knew that Ying Zheng was not a character who just waited for death, and he also had martial arts skills.
But he still gritted his teeth and subconsciously touched his side with his hands. But he found nothing. The weapon he originally hung on his waist was only in plain clothes when he came out this morning and was not brought out. With his strength,
It is not impossible to catch the flying long knife with bare hands, but it will require some hardship.
Before Wang Jian could make a move, Yu Liao, who had been standing beside Ying Zheng for a long time, turned his head and frowned in the direction of the flying knife. He stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the long knife was stuck on his sleeve, among the crowd.
Many people thought that the old man's blood would be splattered on the spot, and the arm could not be saved. Unexpectedly, the long knife flew into the sleeve, was caught, made a loud noise, and fell from the sleeve.
Come down! There was a 'clang', which was beyond everyone's expectation. All eyes fell on Yu Liao, and many people's eyes suddenly shone brightly. Wang Jian snorted coldly, seeing that Ying Zheng was fine,
He flew into the crowd, and when he came with a cold face, he was full of momentum, with an indomitable fierceness. Everyone subconsciously separated into a lane, and the man who was originally wielding the knife turned pale when he saw that he was in trouble.
Standing on the spot, his legs were shaking and his clothes were shaking. Wang Jian picked him up in his hands like a chicken, but Yu Liao said: "That strong man, please stay!"
Seeing that the knife player had caused such a big trouble among the crowd, they were afraid of implicating themselves. Many people did not care about watching the fun and stepped back. When Yu Liao opened his mouth, many people stopped subconsciously. Only one figure
The strong man stiffened for a moment, and Wang Jian's eyes were as bright as a torch. He understood immediately, threw the man in his hand who was as limp as mud into the ground, and rushed towards the man in gray!
The man in gray shrank his pupils and made all his gestures, but for some reason his body went limp on the ground and was caught by Wang Jian. Ying Zheng's eyes were cold and stern, half-smiling but not smiling: "Yu Gong is good at martial arts!"
After saying that, when he saw Wang Jian coming over, he snorted coldly and clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves. The assassinations against him happened again and again, which reminded Ying Zheng of the Mo family and the Qishan family, and he was suddenly in a bad mood.
The good mood of the Ouye family was also compromised. Seeing the man in gray with a ferocious face captured by Wang Jian, blood flashed in his eyes and he said sullenly: "Behead him alive! Find out who is behind the scenes!"
When Wang Jian heard his voice, he immediately trembled, and the face of the middle-aged man in gray could not help but twist. The Qin State was strict in governing the country, and being beheaded alive was a punishment of thousands of cuts. The skin and flesh of the tortured person were cut off.
If the person who executes the execution is sophisticated, he will not die even if his body is completely damaged. It is painful but unable to kill him. This is one of the most painful and cruel punishments!
At this time, people around saw such a big disaster. Although they were curious about Ying Zheng's identity and the old man beside him was so powerful in martial arts, everyone also knew that if he stayed for a long time, he would be implicated. Ying Zheng's face turned extremely ugly when he saw it.
Not good, so when people in groups of three or three saw that Wang Jian and others did not stop them, they boldly saluted and ran away. Only the performer was left weak all over and unable to escape. When he heard the word "living beheaded",
, immediately rolled his eyes and fainted!
Yu Liao frowned, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please calm down. This person's whereabouts are strange and he is so daring. It's reasonable to execute him. But it's better to ask the person behind the scenes and give him a good reward!" He also knew it!
Ying Zheng was so angry at this time that he did not plead with this man, but just changed his method. The punishment of being cut into pieces alive was too cruel. Ying Zheng's temperament was originally cold and severe. As a king, if he acted with such ease
Having a good mood is not a blessing to the people in the world. However, even though Ying Zheng is a bit cold, in Yu Liao's opinion, he has excellent calmness and self-control, which can just restrain the cruelty in his nature. At this time
Ying Zheng was stabbed on the street, and Ying Zheng quietly left the palace. He was also stared at, no wonder he was furious!
After listening to Yu Liao's advice, Ying Zheng calmed down quickly. The blood in his eyes faded and gradually became cold. He stared at the man in gray for a long time. When he was caught after the assassination attempt, his face was just distorted. Now
When Ying Zheng looked at him, he felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. His back suddenly went numb, and he broke out in a white-haired cold sweat. His eyes also had a look of fear, and he felt a heavy momentum pressing down on him.
After a while, I was covered in sweat and couldn't breathe.
"Since Mr. Yu is begging for mercy, take him down first!" Ying Zheng could listen to the advice of his subordinates instead of insisting on his own way. Yu Liao felt that he had chosen the right master, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he twisted his silver hair.
Hu Xiu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "From the perspective of the veteran, I am afraid that this person is not targeting the king!" When he said this, the corner of Yu Dian's eyes fell on the middle-aged man beside him. Sure enough, he saw that he was listening.
When he said these words, his face was extremely horrified, and he couldn't help but feel more certain in his heart: "They should be here for the Ouye family!"
As soon as the man in gray clothes heard this, his body suddenly started shaking like chaff, his face was ashen, before he was slumped on the ground, but now he struggled desperately in the excitement, and roared: "Let go
Opening a certain family, I am not acquainted with the Ouye family, so don’t talk nonsense. A certain skill is not as good as others, and I am mistaken. I deserve it. I don’t know the identity of the king, and I mistakenly identify the wrong person. I just think that the king is a certain enemy.
"Assassinating the king is a capital crime. The king does not need to be tried again. He is not a member of the Mohist family. Everyone in the world praises the king for his benevolence and righteousness. How about giving it to a certain person!" After the man finished speaking, he struggled to get up and kowtowed, with a look on his face.
The color of determination!
He is an upright person! Now that he knows Ying Zheng's identity, he should know the grudges between him and Qishan of the Mohist family. However, he did not talk nonsense to save his life. Ying Zheng really looks at this person differently, but
What he said was that no one had instigated the wrong person, and he could tell that he was just making it up. But otherwise he was very quick, but when he heard the name of the Ouye family, he reacted fiercely. Ying Zheng was already extremely sure in his heart.
, this person should be, as Yu Liao said, wanted to come to save the Ouye family. This person does not know what relationship he has with the Ouye family. He is willing to avenge them, and is willing to die rather than harm others. It is really worthy of his reputation.
If the above man is like this, he is not a ranger such as Qishan and Mo family. Whether this man is dead or not is not a big deal. It is not bad to betray Yu Liao's face, make him grateful, and use it to blackmail the Ouye family.
"Arrest him first, and we'll discuss it later!" Ying Zheng made up his mind. Suddenly, he stopped mentioning his intention to kill him. Instead, he smiled at the corner of his mouth. When the man in gray looked at his face, he only had a slight realization in his heart.
He immediately understood that he had guessed his identity, and he was not a fool. Otherwise, he would have followed him all the way from Qilu, but he would not have alerted the snake, and was discovered by Wang Jian. Who knows what Ying Zheng is planning, and I am afraid he wants to use himself to threaten the Ouye family.
