After another two days of traveling, Bai Su and his group finally arrived at the Wusui border.
As soon as they approached Wu Sui's camp, they were discovered by the surrounding scouts. After some questioning, the scouts led them to the camp.
"Young Master Shang, the military camp is right ahead.”The scout said respectfully.
Ge Nia glanced at their location. The defense was empty and separated from the central army. Although it was dangerous, even if there was an accident, they could retreat in time. Wang He was indeed a person who was proficient in the art of war, and he was impressed.
They arrived at a tent. Just as they stopped, an old but still powerful voice came from the tent.
"You guys are here. Hurry up and come in."
Ying Zheng was the first to enter the military camp, followed by Ge Nia and Li Si on his left and right, followed closely by Bai Su and the others.
In the camp, there were five soldiers, all of whom were scouts who had met Ying Zheng and his men on patrol earlier. They were in a squad, so naturally, there were only five of them.
The five soldiers knelt down on one knee in front of Wang He.
With his back facing Ying Zheng and the others, Wang He continued to pour wine into the cups. Although he had a head full of white hair, he still had a steady posture. He slowly turned around and looked to be in his seventies. His hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were full of vigor, and his body was still as straight as a javelin.
"You guys did well."
Wang He came forward with a wine cup in his hand and gave one to the sergeant. He smiled and said,"Come, this is my toast to you."
The sergeant took the wine cup and said excitedly and nervously,"This, this subordinate is terrified. Thank you for the wine, General.”
The captain raised his cup and drank.
Wang He held the wine cup in his left hand and smiled faintly. His eyes were a little cold.
The captain raised his cup and drank slowly.
Ge Nie stood beside Ying Zheng, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his eyes narrowed.
In the next moment, Ge Nia stepped out and stood in front of Ying Zheng, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.
It was at this moment that the sword on Wang He's waist was unsheathed without any warning. The sword energy was crisp and clear, and a cold light flashed.
"Clang!"
Almost at the same time, two sword chimes sounded, and two cold lights appeared.
Wang He's sword and Ge Nia's sword were unsheathed almost at the same time.
Wang He pulled out his sword with his left hand, and a sword light flashed.
This sword light was extremely fast and unexpected.
In the next moment, the scout squad leader's body froze. The wine cup in his hand fell, and a bright red bloody wound appeared on his throat. His facial features were distorted due to the pain, and he let out a dying scream.
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He seemed to have no surprise, no anger, no doubt, only endless calmness. His expression was as calm as waves, and his eyes were deep, as if no one could guess what he was thinking.
Although he was not the future emperor of the ages, the First Emperor of Great Qin, he seemed to be born with a supreme heart.
With the death of the squad leader, the other four scouts were terrified and wanted to escape from the tent.
However, they were fast, but Wang He was faster.
With a sharp sword in hand, this old general's spirit was not any weaker than before. Even though he was over seventy years old, his Qi and blood were declining, and his body was riddled with hidden injuries, he could still easily kill a few people.
Shua, shua, shua…
The sword light unsheathed and killed two people in succession.
The remaining two almost escaped from the tent. Wang He ran as fast as he could. He grabbed his weapon with his right hand and swung his hands. Blood splashed everywhere.
When Wang He attacked, his moves were wide open and powerful. He was indeed a famous general of Qin State. Although he was old, his might was still there.
Within a few breaths, five Qin soldiers died tragically.
"Wang He, you…?" Ying Zheng asked in a questioning tone.”
Unexpectedly, Wang He waved his long pole and heavy axe, stomped on the ground, knelt down on one knee and said,""Left Shu Chang Wang He had no choice but to offend the king, so he is willing to accept heavy punishment.”
Ge Nia and Li Si looked at each other, knowing that there was something else going on.
Ying Zheng's eyes were bright and deep, and his face was calm as he said,""Oh, what does General Wang He mean?”
Wang He knelt down and reported,"I had no choice. There are many spies in Wusui's camp." Once the King's identity was exposed, it would be dangerous.”
"Wang He had no choice but to arrange this. Please forgive me.”
"I see." Ying Zheng stepped forward and said.”
"Although the scout is innocent, he has to be killed.”
Wang He cupped his hands and bowed again." I was rude. There are many spies in the camp. Once Your Majesty's identity is exposed, it will be dangerous. I had no choice but to make such an arrangement.”
From Xianyang to Xinzheng, and then back to Xianyang from Xinzheng, there were murderous intentions everywhere.
Ying Zheng knew that many people wanted nothing more than to get rid of him. As long as his whereabouts were exposed, they would launch a series of deadly attacks, and would not let him return to Xianyang so easily.
Ying Zheng slightly bent his back, lifted Wang He up with his left hand and said,""General, thank you for your trouble."
" They won't let this go," Wang He stood up and said." I'm afraid the king is still in danger in the camp."”
"In your opinion, General, what should I do?" asked Ying Zheng.”
"I am willing to share your worries. Now, I have two plans. I hope that you will be careful.”Wang He answered.
"Speak!" Ying Zheng gestured with his left hand.
"First, Your Majesty can write a letter personally and send it to your confidant in Xianyang. Let him bring people to receive you."”
"Secondly, His Majesty still needs to conceal his identity. I think that since Sir Li Si is the envoy of Qin, if the King doesn't mind, he can temporarily pretend to be Sir Li's follower.”
Li Si was shocked and cupped his fists.""This, how can this be? Your Majesty, you are a man of ten thousand gold. I am afraid.”
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said lightly,""It's fine. We'll follow the general's suggestion.”
"Yes." Li Si nodded helplessly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Wang He cupped his fists and said.”
"You can call me Young Master Shang," said Ying Zheng lightly.”
"Yes." Wang He nodded.
"This general has already ordered people to prepare Young Master Shang and Lord Li Si's tents. Please go back and rest as soon as possible.”
Time passed and night fell.
In a military camp, Ge Nia was patrolling the night. He was observing the patrolling soldiers, as well as the terrain and military arrangements.
In another part of the camp, a soldier was reporting.
"Lord Qian, the military register has been checked today. Please take a look.”
The commander took the bamboo slips from the soldier and opened them. He couldn't help but ask,""A team of scouts died today?”
The soldier cupped his fists and replied," They said that they were ambushed outside and their bodies have been brought back to the camp."”
"Where were you attacked? Who was the enemy? Is there any need to prepare for war?" Qian Changsan asked.
"This…I don't know either." the soldier said.
"The cause of death is so vague." Qian Chang muttered to himself and then said to the soldiers,""Follow me."
The soldier nodded and followed Qian Chang.
When they arrived at the military outpost, Commander Qian asked the soldiers standing guard,""Today, at midnight, a team of scouts was patrolling outside the city. Did you see them?”
"Yes, this subordinate has seen it." The sentry replied," They left the camp at midnight and returned to the camp a little after dawn.”
"Back to camp? Did anything unusual happen when they returned to camp?" Qian Chang asked.
"When they returned to the camp, they brought back two carriages. They looked like officials who came to inspect from elsewhere.”the sentry answered truthfully.
"You didn't check their identities?”
"At that time, the scout squad leader said that they had a special identity and asked me not to make a sound.”
Qian Zhang walked to the railing and scolded sternly,""Special identity?"
The sentry panicked and quickly knelt down."I, I dare not lie."
"You slacked off on duty, so I'll give you twenty lashes.”Qian Chang left behind a sentence of punishment and quickly left.
