Wang He was quite good at making arrangements. He even specially arranged a large tent for Bai Su and the Startling Salamander.
After settling Startling Salamander and the others in the tent, Bai Su asked the guards at the gate to bring him to Ying Zheng's tent.
Walking into the tent, he saw Ying Zheng and the others looking at the map of the military camp on the table. Ge Nia had drawn this map after observing the surroundings. It was very rough, but for their current situation, no matter how rough it was, it was better than being blind.
"Teacher is here." Hearing the noise, Ying Zheng raised his head and saw Bai Su coming in. He hurried forward and invited him to take a seat.
"What does teacher think of Wang He?”Ying Zheng looked at Bai Su and asked.
Bai Su pondered for a moment, then slowly said,""I've heard of Wang He before. He is a veteran general of the Qin Country and was once the deputy general of Lord Wu 'an, Baiqi. During the Battle of Changping, he performed brilliantly. After that, he went through many battles and made outstanding contributions.”
"I don't know how Wang He did things in the past, but from what he did today, it can be said that he is ruthless and decisive. Regardless of other things, Wang He is indeed worthy of the title of a famous general.”
"However, this person must have some ulterior motive.”
At the end, Bai Su reminded him.
"Senior is right. Today, His Majesty personally came to Wu Sui's camp, but Wang He clearly knew His Majesty's identity, yet he did not welcome His Majesty in the main tent. Instead, he brought the king to the military camp.”Ge Nia said.
"Then, just as Senior said, this person was extremely ruthless and decisive. He directly killed the five scouts who were sent to welcome the king.”
At that moment, Li Si stood up and said,""Perhaps. Was General Wang He really trying to keep the king's whereabouts from being exposed?”
Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng, Ge Nia, and Bai Su exchanged a glance, and Bai Su shook his head.
Li Si was still too greedy for power. He still wanted to not offend either side at a time like this. Although this would not put him in danger, no matter which side won, he would not be put in an important position.
Bai Su did not think of reminding him. With his current thinking, even if he was repeatedly warned, he would still not agree.
After thinking about it, Bai Su said again,""Even if it's to prevent the king's whereabouts from being exposed, there's no need to go to such extremes. You can just leave these five people by the king's side and wait for his orders.”
"Moreover, if Wang He is really loyal to the king, wouldn't the best way to deal with it be to reveal the king's identity to the public?”
"Could it be that these 100,000 Ping Yang Heavy Armored Soldiers are not enough to protect His Majesty?”
"Wang He asked the king to hide his identity and even asked the king to write a letter to Xianyang. If I'm not wrong, the messenger will be intercepted by Wang He soon after he leaves.”
Hearing Bai Su's analysis, Ying Zheng's face turned ashen. He clenched his fists and said,""Wang He, Great Qin has treated him well, so why would he do this?”
"Presumably, it's because of Baiqi. Wang He was once Baiqi's deputy general.”Bai Su sighed.
Throughout the generations, the Qin Country had indeed produced many wise rulers and heroic lords. However, even they had done many muddle-headed things.
Not to mention Shang Jun, he was forced to death by the old Qin nobles. However, Lord Wu 'an was demoted by King Zhaoxiang because of his outstanding achievements. In the end, he was surrounded and killed by the six elders of the farmer family with the 24 formations.
The reason why Wang He blamed the death of Bai Qi on King Zhaoxiang was because Bai Qi had just been demoted and left Xianyang when he was besieged by the farmers. He was even outside Xianyang City, but he was not discovered by the Xianyang garrison.
Wang He would never believe that there was nothing fishy about this.
Even Ying Zheng was speechless when he heard this reason. As the King of Qin, he knew the truth better.
However, even so, Wang He shouldn't have devoured the king. Even Baiqi, the Lord of Wu 'an, who was treated like this by King Zhao Xiang, didn't think of rebelling. As the Great Shu of Qin, Wang He shouldn't have done this.
Just as Bai Su and the others were discussing in the tent.
Qian Chang, who had noticed something unusual about the death of the scout, met Wang He, who had come out of the tent.
"You guys are in a hurry. What's the matter?”Wang He asked.
"Greetings, General. This subordinate checked the roll today and found that a group of scouts died of unusual causes of death.”Qian Chang cupped his hands and bowed.
Wang He stroked his beard and turned around." I already know about this matter. I also feel that something is wrong. I've already sent someone to investigate."”
"General, not only did they die of strange causes, but the death records are also very suspicious. I just asked the sentry and learned that when the scouts returned to the camp, they brought back two carriages.”Qian Chang said again.
"As a commander, this is very good.”Wang He praised and then ordered the soldiers to retreat.
"Since you've already investigated to this extent, I won't hide it from you. Today, the ones who returned to the camp with the scouts were the envoy, Sir Li Si, and his group.”Wang He paced back and forth.
"Li Si went to Han Country and obtained confidential information. He used Wu Sui to return to Xianyang. Once the six countries know, it will be disadvantageous to Qin Country.”
"Yes, I understand."”
After that, Wang He warned him,"You are guarding the border. Fighting the enemy is your duty. Let me handle the rest."”
"Yes, General." Qian Chang cupped his hands and bowed to see Wang Wei off.
……
After the discussion with Ying Zheng and the others, Bai Su returned to his tent.
After a day of traveling, although Little Yan 'er had already started practicing martial arts, he was still too young. The mental fatigue was unbearable and he had already fallen asleep.
Inside the tent, the Startling Salamander was sitting by Little Yan 'er's bed, meditating with his eyes closed. The Startling Salamander Sword was also placed not far away from him, just in case.
Yan Lingji was next. Her eyes were lifeless and she was bored. She would occasionally emit flames from her hands to entertain herself.
The last one was Madam Hu. Madam Hu had a gentle personality. Other than occasionally exchanging her thoughts on raising children with the Startling Salamander, she spent the rest of her time alone, deep in thought.
Bai Su came behind Madam Hu. It was as if he had sensed something. Just as he walked behind her, Madam Hu turned her head.
"Furen, are you missing Nongyu and Beauty Hu again?”Bai Su asked.
During the past few days of traveling, Madam Hu would stop for a short rest and look in the direction of Han Country's Xinzheng. That was where her sister and daughter were.
"Madam, don't worry. With Han Fei, Purple Girl, and Wei Zhuang here, I believe they will be fine. Besides, after we settle down in Xianyang, we can let them go.”Bai Su consoled.
"Thank you, sir. In the future, please do not address me as Madam. This concubine's name is Hu Yu.”Madam Hu first thanked Bai Su and then told him her name.
"Yu 'Er? I feel that this form of address is a little strange. If I call you by your name directly, it will seem too unfamiliar. I'll still call you Madam.”Bai Su felt that it wasn't very good to address her by two different titles, so he decided.
Madam Hu blushed, but she still agreed,""Then I'll do as you say."
