To the east of the ruined temple, Ying Xuerou could no longer contain the anxiety in her heart. She was about to rush out, but was pulled back by Hua Yu. After a while, Hua Yu smiled helplessly and said: "You are going to take me to see you today. This person...couldn't be the same person just now."

When Ying Xuerou saw Zhao Cheng and others walking away, she sat helplessly on the ground. Seeing Hua Yu's confused face, she could only nod her head and sighed: "I don't know where they are taking my father."

"He is your father." Hua Yu was slightly surprised. If this is the case, then the person who was just taken away should be Ying Ziying. Thinking of this, Hua Yu hurriedly asked: "Why did they want to arrest your father."

"I don't know. But the emperor has passed away. The only one who can threaten Zhao Gao is his father. No. I have to discuss this matter with my sister." Ying Xuerou stood up in a hurry, looked at Hua Yu, and sighed: "You Go back first. If anything happens, I will find you again."

"Don't you need me to go with you?"

"No. My sister doesn't want to see outsiders." Ying Xuerou replied, then jumped on the carriage and left in a hurry.

...

Saying goodbye to Hua Yu, Ying Xuerou hurriedly left Xianyang in a carriage and came to a relatively secret bamboo forest in the east. It is adjacent to Orchid Pond. It was a paradise built by the First Emperor. Since the death of the First Emperor, few people have lived here.

But Ying Ziying's eldest daughter, Ying Xueyue, lived in seclusion here to avoid being discovered by Zhao Gao's minions. She also persuaded Ziying to take refuge here so that she could avoid the pain and displacement caused by pretending to be crazy. But Yingzi However, Ying rejected his eldest daughter Xue Yue and kept pretending to be crazy in the ruined temple.

Seeing the gradual decline of the Qin State and the treacherous ministers in power, the Chu State entered Wuguan after several victories. Ying Ziying knew that he could no longer endure it. Because of this, Ying Ziying used the unique contact method of their father and daughter. .Contacted Ying Xuerou. Through Ying Xuerou, he notified Ying Xueyue to wait and see what happened and prepare to attack Hu Hai.

But the power of Ziying, his daughter, and others alone could not bring down Hu Hai or punish Zhao Gao. Therefore, Ying Ziying told Xuerou to contact Xiang Zhuang's intelligence point in Xianyang.

It may also be God's will. After Xuerou and Huayu met, the two fell in love and gradually fell in love with each other. However, neither of them broke the window paper and confessed their love to each other.

Today, Ziying was kidnapped by Zhao Cheng. Xuerou knew that the problem was serious. She had to contact her sister quickly to think of countermeasures. Xuerou also had an impulse to find her two brothers who had been living in seclusion all these years. .Let them help their father together. But recalling Ziying's instructions to leave bones and blood and lifeblood for Yingshi, Xuerou had to give up this naive idea.

At this time, the carriage rushed forward along the winding path in the bamboo forest. After traveling for some distance, the carriage slowly stopped beside a pavilion. Ying Xuerou poked her head out of the curtain and looked around. Then he gave the driver a few words and walked quickly deep into the bamboo forest alone.

This place is like a fairyland. There are dense bamboo forests. In the northwest, there is a large mountain surrounding it. There is a stream in the mountain and a long stream. If they didn't know that Ying Xueyue lived in seclusion here, others would have thought that Ying Xuerou was here to visit some master. .

After walking for some distance, a large courtyard appeared in front of them. The courtyard was very large. There were many houses in it. Ying Xuerou walked a few steps quickly and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard.

In this courtyard lived Ying Ziying's old followers. They were all people who had followed Ying Ziying through hundreds of battles. They did not want to abandon Ying Ziying, so they followed Ying Ziying's eldest daughter and lived in seclusion. Normally, everyone would practice martial arts and swordplay here and wait for news. But in the past few days, Xianyang has become turbulent. Ying Ziying's two sons, Ying Tie and Ying Liang, also hurried back. Chaos is about to emerge. They don't want to linger.

Regarding what happened in Xianyang in the past few days, everyone gathered in the conference hall to discuss. Many people believed that the situation in Xianyang was turbulent and the Chu army would advance into Guanzhong soon. Zhao Gao and his party were in turmoil and would inevitably take risks. Ying Ziying stayed alone. Xianyang will be feared by Zhao Gao and others, which will lead to trouble. It is better to take him back to this place and then move forward.

Of course, this view is supported by many people, especially Ying Ziying's two sons. They are worried about their father's safety and support everyone's opinions. Only Ying Xueyue got Ying Ziying's secret instructions and knew that her father had paid too much for this matter. Duo. She couldn't let her father give up halfway. Therefore, Ying Xueyue stood up to everyone in the council hall and warned everyone that they must be patient.

Just when the atmosphere in the council hall was awkward and everyone was holding their own opinions, a middle-aged man who was responsible for keeping watch hurried in and said excitedly: "The second girl is back."

Soon, Ying Xuerou walked into the council hall. Seeing everyone there, she hurried to the hall and said anxiously: "It's not good. The second emperor passed away. Now the government is controlled by Zhao Gao, and their father is also taken away by them. Gone."

Suddenly, everyone stood up in a hurry, each holding a weapon, and shouted: "We will enter Xianyang and rescue the general."

Ying Ziying was born in the military. So far, everyone calls him a general. Ying Tie and Ying Liang also stood up anxiously. Only Ying Xueyue sat on the same spot and did not move. She thought for a moment and said with hatred: "Zhao Gao kidnapped him at this time. Father, I guess he must want to use his father to ascend the throne in exchange for stability in the DPRK."

"What if he jumps over the wall and harms my father, the consequences will be disastrous. No matter what, we can't wait any longer." Ying Liang shouted hoarsely.

Ying Liang's analysis also made sense. Ying Xueyue was also very confused at this time. She didn't know whether her persistence was right or not. If her father was really persecuted for this, she would be the sinner of the Ying family.

Ying Xueyue was still hesitating. Ying Liang shouted: "Follow me to Xianyang."

"Slow down." Ying Xueyue shouted. No matter what, at this critical moment, the truth about Ying Ziying's pretending to be crazy and acting like a fool cannot be exposed. She must stabilize everyone. She thought for a moment again. Ying Xueyue looked at everyone and ordered. : "We can move to Xianyang first, but we can't make a big fuss. As long as my father is not in danger, we can't act rashly."

Ying Xueyue looked at Xuerou again and ordered: "You have more contact with Hua Yu and explore the situation in the DPRK. If anything unexpected happens, please contact us as soon as possible."

...

Nothing went beyond Ziying's prediction. Zhao Gao and Zhao Cheng caught him back. Sure enough, they wanted to replace Hu Hai with themselves. From their conversation, it can be heard that Zhao Gao forced Hu Hai to death. At this time, he wanted to use himself. To stabilize the government and stabilize the turbulent situation in Qin.

But Ziying knew very well about killing the donkey. If Zhao Gao stabilized the Qin State, then he would get rid of him immediately, just like he killed Hu Hai. He would not allow himself to control the power of the country. Then he would kill himself. What Zhao Gao's next plan will be? Ying Ziying secretly wondered in her heart. But on his face, he had to continue to pretend to be crazy.

On the side, Zhao Gao and Zhao Cheng were drinking tea. They sat opposite each other. Soon, Zhao Cheng looked at Zi Ying with disdain and said in surprise: "Such a madman. Brother, will it be useful to bring him back?"

"Whether it's useful or not, we must point to him to control Qin. At least, right now we don't have the ability to control the situation." Zhao Gao sighed. He never wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, replacing the Ying family's prestige in Qin. But he was a eunuch after all, and he was still far away from wanting others to obey him. Thinking of this, Zhao Gao sighed softly, picked up the tea cup in his hand, and took a sip.

Zhao Cheng sighed when he saw Zhao Gao. He couldn't help but express his worries: "But I'm afraid. Ziying is going crazy. It's hard to convince everyone."

"You underestimate him too much. After all, he is the younger brother of the First Emperor. He was a Qin general who once dominated the battlefield. His prestige in the Qin State is far greater than you and I thought. You can rest assured." Zhao Gao smiled proudly. He smiled and said: "In addition, this document on the table was given to Liu Bang, the general of Chu. You can find a confidant to send it to him and tell him that Qin's harsh rule and turmoil were caused by Hu Hai. We are all victims. "If Liu Bang is willing, I would like to hand over the land of Guanzhong and recognize the restoration of the six kingdoms. Each country will have its own national title. I just hope to get a small piece of land and be crowned the King of Guanzhong so that I can take care of myself for the rest of my life."

"Brother, why should I surrender to Liu Bang? There are still more than 100,000 soldiers in Xianyang with armor. Why should we be afraid of him?"

"You know nothing. Even if we can resist Liu Bang in the south, what about Xiang Yu in the north? Zhang Han surrenders to him. Xiang Yu has as many as 400,000 infantry. It is not something you and I can compete with. If we can really retreat, you and I can still do it. Save your life. Otherwise..."

Zhao Gao did not continue talking. Zhao Cheng could faintly feel the worry and panic in Zhao Gao's heart. Just like that, both of them remained silent. They drank tea quietly with each other. I don't know how long it took before the two left.

The two of them had just walked away. Ziying's dull eyes gradually became sharp. He stared quietly outside the palace and said with great hatred: "You have defeated our world of winners. I will let you pay for it with your life."

...

After breaking through Wuguan, the Chu army marched westward along the banks of the Dan River, marching day and night. Within a few days, they arrived at Shang County.

At this time, the battle report from Hebei was also sent to Liu Bang's desk immediately. Xiang Yu recruited Zhang Han and was preparing to march westward. Sima Yan was the vanguard and had already conquered several cities. Xiang Yu's reputation was great.

Now for Liu Bang, the most threatening person is Xiang Yu. If Xiang Yu enters the pass first, he will be the king of Qin. Because of this, Liu Bang led his army to advance rapidly. He has not stopped for the past few days. But the army has been moving forward for a long time. .Tiredness will inevitably occur. At that time, when encountering a war, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Liu Bang chose to rest for a day in Shang County, and then went straight to Yaoguan to kill.

At this time, Liu Bang repeatedly checked the battle report. He had received news that Xiangzhuang had passed Nanyang County and was heading north. Although he did not know Xiangzhuang's true purpose, Liu Bang had a vague feeling that Xiangzhuang must have his purpose in being so eager to go north.

Xiang Yu's battle at Julu was awe-inspiring and made Liu Bang envious.

Just as Liu Bang was staring at the battle report in his hand, a personal guard walked in quickly. He cupped his hands in front of Liu Bang and said, "My lord, there is an envoy from Qin outside the camp asking for an audience."
