d7fd34b8f3 When Hu Hai saw Yan Le forcing himself to commit suicide, he was filled with grief and anger. When Hu Hai's eyes touched the bronze sword on the ground, his already angry heart suddenly softened.

After a brief silence, Hu Hai stared at Yan Le and asked: "Who sent you here?"

"Prime Minister,"

Hearing the word 'Prime Minister', Hu Hai felt as if he was struck by lightning. He felt indescribably sad. He looked at Yan Le and then at the hundreds of soldiers in the hall. A sense of desolation that the situation was over came to his heart. Hu Hai Qing He sighed and asked again: "Can you let me see the Prime Minister?"

"The Prime Minister is not in the palace at this time. Even if the Prime Minister comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him, Your Majesty."

Seeing Yan Le's refusal, Hu Hai said again: "I know very well that the Prime Minister is so jealous of me. If I am willing to abdicate voluntarily and give up the imperial power, can you give me a county prince?"

"No,"

"You are not allowed to be the king of the county. Can you give me the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households? I will leave Xianyang and stay away from Guanzhong."

Hu Hai's plea again completely angered Yan Le. Yan Le waved his hands angrily and said: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? If you don't die, what will happen to us?"

Seeing Yan Le's determination, Hu Hai said angrily: "Can you let me live? I will thank you heavily."

"Why is it so? Your Majesty should leave early," Yan Le said, and winked at the soldiers behind him. Several soldiers stepped forward with swords, ready to kill Hu Hai. At this time, Hu Hai knew that he was in danger of escaping, so he could only mourn. After crying, Hu Hai picked up the bronze sword on the ground and sighed: "I misunderstood the bandits and expected this retribution. I only hate that the foundation created by my ancestors was destroyed in my hands. It's a pity... it's a pity... …”

Hu Hai sighed with emotion and had to put the copper sword across his neck. He glared at Yan Le and others, his eyes wandering around everyone, as if he wanted to remember everyone. After a long time, Hu Hai roared and the copper sword passed across, Blood splashed everywhere, and with the clang of the bronze sword falling to the ground, Hu Hai also collapsed on the ground, twitching for a moment, and then died.

The second emperor of a generation was fatuous. He was only twenty-three years old and died after reigning for three years.

When Yan Le saw that Hu Hai no longer twitched, he stepped forward and kicked Hu Hai on the head to confirm that Hu Hai was dead, then turned around and hurried away with everyone.

In the back hall of the Zhongcheng Mansion, Zhao Gao was anxiously wandering around the house. It had been a day since Yan Le left. Zhao Gao was not sure what the situation in the palace was at this time. He could only wait anxiously in the mansion.

In fact, it was a trick to force Hu Hai to death. Although Zhao Gao controlled the military power of the Qin State, once a loyal minister raised his arms, the army would definitely respond to Hu Hai. At that time, Zhao Gao would become extremely passive.

But the news of the Chu army's entry into the pass has spread throughout the city. Zhao Gao knew that he could no longer suppress the news. Moreover, once Hu Hai knew that the Chu army had entered the pass, he would definitely take action against him. This is why Zhao Gao was so anxious to tell Hu Hai One of the reasons for taking action,

There were only two ways in front of him, one was to surrender to Liu Bang, the other was to support Li Ying Ziying. However, surrendering to Liu Bang was risky, let alone whether he agreed or not. Even if the whole country surrendered, whether Liu Bang would let him go would still matter. It is unknown, and Ying Ziying is already crazy at this time. He has no ordinary people's thinking and can be supported as a puppet. This is the main reason why Zhao Gao supports Ying Ziying.

However, there was no news sent back from the palace. Zhao Gao was really worried. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Zhao Gao got up and walked around the house. Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. Zhao Gao hurriedly looked outside the door. Yan Le and Zhao The two of them hurried in,

When the two stepped into the house, a soldier gently closed the door. At this time, the two quickly came to Zhao Gao. Yan Le said excitedly: "Master Yuezhang, Your Majesty has committed suicide."

When Zhao Gao heard that Hu Hai had committed suicide, he was so excited that he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did he have any last words before he died?"

"He wanted us to spare his life, but I refused," Yan Le said frankly.

"Hmph..." Zhao Gao snorted coldly and said to himself: "He has defeated Qin. Even if I let him go, can he still survive in this world?"

After a pause, Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Cheng and Yan Le and ordered: "Take my token immediately, go to the south of the city to mobilize troops and take control of the palace. I want to enter the palace myself."

About an hour later, nearly 20,000 Qin troops rushed into Xianyang, controlled the streets and alleys, and surrounded Xianyang Palace. At this time, the people did not know what happened in the palace. They only heard that the second emperor Suddenly he became seriously ill. In order to prevent accidents, the palace temporarily strengthened its vigilance.

On the long corridor of Xianyang Palace, Zhao Cheng, dressed in light armor, accompanied Zhao Gao. The two quickly came to the side hall of Xianyang Palace. In Hu Hai's imperial study, Zhao Gao found the tiger talisman and the jade seal. At this time, Zhao Gao What Gao Gao needs most is these two items. With these things, Zhao Gao can command all directions.

He stroked it happily for a moment, then picked up an imperial edict in front of the imperial case and wrote Hu Hai's last words on it, saying that the throne would be passed on to his uncle and son Ying, and stamped with a jade seal.

After a while, Zhao Gao picked up the imperial edict, gently dried the ink, and reviewed it again. Then he handed the imperial edict to Zhao Cheng and told him: "Bring Ziying back, he will be our most powerful backing."

In an inconspicuous corner of Xianyang, a man and a woman hurriedly walked out of a liquor store. Behind them, several middle-aged men wearing white uniforms of dead soldiers followed closely. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that these dead soldiers What I hold in my hands are exquisitely crafted iron swords.

The man just now was Hua Yu under Xiang Zhuang's rule. After the third assistant of the Qin State was wronged, Hua Yu left Xianyang. After returning to Pengcheng, he got Xiang Zhuang's secret letter and rushed to Xingyang with Gui Yinghao. At this time, Xiang The craftsmen opened by Zhuang in various major counties and cities have quietly closed their doors at unknown times. However, the former intelligence network has stood proudly in the troubled world with a brand-new face, and has become a famous wine shop or inn in various major counties and cities. ,

Hua Yu suddenly transformed and became the most famous businessman in Guanzhong. During this period, due to the tense war situation in various places, Hua Yu also hurried to Xianyang. He wanted to send some information to the south and hand it over to Xiangzhuang, but the ban was strictly enforced in Guanzhong. , the people who escaped were arrested one after another, and the information fell into the hands of the Qin army for a time, which made Hua Yu very upset.

He thought that he had been exposed and the Qin army would come to arrest people in the next few days. Hua Yu burned all the information on the Chu army in Guanzhong and prepared to face what was coming calmly. However, he did not expect that the people who came to his door were not Qin soldiers. It was a girl dressed simply. Although she didn't reveal much, she made a request that Hua Yu couldn't understand. She wanted to cooperate with Hua Yu and others. Only in this way would she not reveal the identities of Hua Yu and others.

At first, Hua Yu was still wary. He did not dare to believe this woman easily. But later, Hua Yu used various means to investigate and found out that this woman was Ying Xuerou, the second daughter of Ying Ziying.

As her name suggests, she is indeed beautiful, so much so that Hua Yu feels that he has fallen in love with her. After several contacts, Hua Yu gradually lets go of his vigilance towards Ying Xuerou, because he knows that Ying Xuerou is just a member of the family. Weak and involved in endless power struggles, and she is only seventeen years old this year,

In the past few days, as the Chu army entered the pass, winds and waves began to rise in Xianyang, and news came from the palace that the second emperor Hu Hai accidentally contracted a serious illness and died. All counties in the pass mourned.

The reason why Ying Xuerou came to him at this time must be because of this matter. Therefore, Hua Yu agreed to Ying Xuerou's request without thinking and accompanied her to meet someone, a very important person, although Hua Yu didn't know who this person was. , but he is willing to believe in Ying Xuerou,

After a few people walked for some distance, a carriage drove out from an alley. After the two hurriedly entered the carriage, the carriage hurriedly left from the alley. Behind it, the ordinary dead men who originally followed Hua Yu picked up their horses from the horse pile. reins, and the horse follows closely behind,

Here is a dilapidated earth temple, with a lunatic roaring inside: "Golden iron horses, twenty army lords, black-armored Qin army, eventually turned into dust, heroes from Western Chu, Zhuolu Central Plains, wielding swords to ask the sky, who is the master? Ups and downs,”

The seemingly unintentional words contained Ziying's dissatisfaction with the decline of the Qin State, and this stubble-faced man had been wandering here for three years. He was the winner who was implicated in the meteorite case. Ziying,

Hibernating and waiting, Ziying has been waiting for three years just to wait. He asked his children to leave the palace and remain anonymous, just to leave a trace of blood, but his two daughters did not want to leave. One is called Xue Yue and the other is Xuerou. They have been lingering in Xianyang, and they have also been waiting with Zi Ying for three years.

When the Chu army entered the pass, an opportunity came. As the surviving Ziying lineage of the Ying family, they decided to take action, but they never thought that today, in Xianyang City, the dull bell rang, which was the bell of national mourning. Ying Ziying vaguely guessed that Hu Hai might have been killed and his brother Ying Zheng's flesh and blood would be cut off. Although Ziying was very sad, he did not dare to show it on his face. He could only cry silently in his heart.

Today, Ying Xuerou will bring a very important person. This person is the backbone of Xiang Zhuang's command, and he is also a person that Xiang Zhuang trusts very much. He can hand over Nuoda's intelligence agency to this person. Ziying knows that this person Not an ordinary person,

And Xiangzhuang is an old friend of Ziying. Ziying only hopes to contact Xiangzhuang through him, and use the Xiang family's status to negotiate peace with the Chu State. He is waiting for an opportunity to get rid of Zhao Gao and revive the Qin State. All dreams are coming true. I placed my trust in this person named Hua Yu,

Ziying thought of this and sighed secretly in his heart. Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps from outside the ruined temple. Ziying's heart tightened, and he pretended to be crazy, but his heart was extremely alert. Soon, following the rapid footsteps, Zhao Cheng hurried in with hundreds of soldiers,

Zhao Cheng stared at Zi Ying outside the door for a while, then shouted with a hint of contentment: "Smelly lunatic, your fortune is changing and you are going to make a fortune. Come with us quickly."

As soon as Zhao Cheng finished speaking, Ziying dodged back in panic. Seeing Ziying like this, Zhao Cheng became even more angry. He spat at Ziying and then said hatefully: "What are you looking at? Why don't you take me away quickly?"

Several soldiers rushed forward, pushed Ying Ziying down with his backhand, and took him out of the ruined temple.
