With such an incident, the banquet naturally could not continue.
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeve and turned to leave, escorted by a group of eunuchs. The ministers also scattered back to the manor.
Of course, the storm caused by this assassination was far from over.
However, capturing assassins was a matter of the military system, so it naturally had nothing to do with me.
When they walked out of the palace, the group of people scattered around and chatted. Many of them kept praising Guo Peng.
Because this time, I, Guo, have made a contribution to saving the emperor. If it weren't for the jar of wine that he threw, the outcome would still be unknown!
Perhaps the Assassins would really succeed, and Great Qin's entire world would change!
Although Ying Zheng did not reward them on the spot, he would definitely reward them after the event.
"You guessed that there would be an assassin?"
After separating from the crowd, Prime Minister Li Si, who had been staying by Guo Peng's side, asked the question in his heart.
What he meant was that before Gao Jianli appeared, he had been prepared to make a similar suggestion that would blind his eyes. Unfortunately, he was stopped by Guo Peng. After hesitating, it was too late and a minister of the imperial clan had taken the initiative.
At that time, Li Si was a little annoyed.
Now, he could only rejoice.
If it was him who proposed it, he would be held accountable now. Although it would not shake his position, the officials of the opposing factions would definitely take the opportunity to attack him tomorrow morning!
Even if Ying Zheng would definitely stand on his side in the end, just thinking about such a scenario was enough to give Li Si a headache.
Fortunately, my son-in-law stopped me!
However, he found it very strange. How did Guo Peng guess that Gao Jianli was going to assassinate him in advance?
"Intuition."
Seeing Li Si's confused expression, Mr. Guo explained further,""I just think that for someone who has such high attainments in music, it's unlikely that fame and fortune will sway their heart. Gao Jianli was once Jing Ke's friend. Jing Ke assassinated the Qin Empire and died. Gao Jianli had a grudge against the Emperor, so why did he come to Xianyang? For fame and fortune? It was unlikely, so it could only be an ulterior motive.”
"I see." Li Si believed him. At the same time, he thought to himself that he was right.
It was already late, and Guo had no intention of talking to Li Si. In front of the carriage, the two of them bid farewell and left the palace.
In the carriage, Guo Peng put on his headphones and adjusted the frequency. The headphones buzzed.
It seemed that the distance was too far and the signal was not good.
As expected, if Gao Yue successfully escaped from the palace, she would most likely return to an inn. Guo Peng planned to pass by an inn to hear if there was an opportunity.
At this moment, there were only two paths left in front of him.
The first was to report them directly and lead the troops to surround the inn and capture the Mo family in one fell swoop.
He just needed to find a random reason to discover that something was wrong with this inn and he could take credit for it.
However, he was still unwilling to accept this.
As for the other choice, it was to threaten and bribe them. He would use Qin Shihuang's power to threaten the Mo family and tell them that if they did not cooperate, he would lure the Qin soldiers to kill all of them.
It would be best if he could take the opportunity to force Gao Yue to stay by his side!
At that time, would the meat in the bowl escape?
Of course, this path was too risky. Moreover, even if he obtained the Mo Family, how useful would it be?
How could a mere group of martial artists compare to the might of a military strategist?
No matter how he thought about it, it was indeed not worth it for Guo to take such a big risk for a woman, even if this woman was the female lead.
Gradually, he began to lean towards the former. It seemed like it wasn't bad to get credit for nothing?
Why not?
Although it was a pity, in novels, organizations with beautiful women as their leaders were usually prepared for the main character…Perhaps there might be unexpected gains if he personally appeared?
Of course, Guo Peng quickly shook his head and threw away this fluke mentality.
Was this a joke?
He only had one life. How could he casually entrust it to the illusory protagonist halo?
Besides, I might not even be the main character…
Although he did not want to admit it, he had to admit that Yi Xiaochuan was the true protagonist of this world.
However, just as Guo Peng was about to make up his mind, a buzzing sound suddenly came from his earpiece.
He connected to the signal?
In other words…it was nearby?
He lifted the curtain and looked outside. There were alleys all around him.
Guo Peng frowned and said,"Stop the car first."”
The coachman naturally did not dare to disobey his master's order. He obediently pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.
At this moment.
In the earpiece:
"Stop the car first!"
"Alright!"
"Hiss!"
……
"Here?"
Hearing this, how could Guo Peng not know that Gao Yue was very close to him, so close that he could hear her talking.
He got out of the car and looked around.
Sure enough, in a dead end, a woman in white was lying on the ground. She didn't know if she was dead or alive.
After hesitating for a moment, Guo Peng was about to walk over.
Suddenly, the woman in white raised her head and held a dagger in her hand. Under the moonlight, the sharp blade flickered with a cold light.
Guo Peng was shocked and subconsciously wanted to retreat.
Although…
Without the veil covering her face, she was indeed very beautiful. She was calm and peaceful, like a peerless green lotus that had emerged from the mud without being stained.
However, staying alive was more important.
Although beauties were good, they had to be alive to enjoy them.
However, the battle cry that he had imagined did not appear.
He looked at her in confusion. He could see his own reflection in her clear eyes.
At this moment, Gao Yue raised her head slightly, frowned and asked in confusion.
"Who are you?"
"Hmm?"
Guo Peng was stunned for a moment. This was something that he did not expect.
That shouldn't be. He should know me!
Even if he didn't remember what happened at the inn, he couldn't possibly forget what happened in the Qin Palace, right?
After all, that jar of wine had ruined her plans!
He clearly remembered the hatred in her eyes before she left.
Could it be?
A bold guess appeared in Guo Peng's mind.
If it was true,
Then…
The heavens are really helping me!
