Battle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the military god system

Chapter 25 Wang Li's Tragic Life

In the woods in the evening, with a cool breeze, Wang Li followed the disciples of the Zongheng Sect into the depths of the dense forest. A group of well-trained robbers directly killed the person escorted by the Yin-Yang Sect but did not take the initiative to hurt him, and felt at ease again. .

Wang Li was taken to a small wooden hut deep in the dense forest by the disciples of the Zongheng Sect. Bloody meat of unknown animals was hung around the hut. A big man wearing animal skins came out from inside. Hall Master Murong, this is Wang Li, we are bringing it to you under the order of the sect master, and the sect master will come over in person."

The hall master named Murong looked at Wang Li coldly and said, "I already know about this. The sect master told me this morning, but I just don't understand. Is a soft-legged shrimp worth our effort?" , flung his sleeves and left.

Wang Li was very depressed when he saw the robbers around him viciously escorting him into the house, and several people sitting in the house guarding him.He thought to himself that he would not have taken refuge in Mr. Hu Hai if he had known earlier, since he had been imprisoned since he joined Mr. Hu Hai, if he knew at that time that he would be in such a situation, he might as well die.I couldn't help but sigh as I thought about it.

At dusk in summer, the venomous sun bid farewell to this man-eating world. The wooden house in the dense forest is very refreshing and cool at this time, but to Wang Li, it is windy and gloomy. took this cabin.The furnishings in the cabin are very simple. There is a wooden bed, a wooden table, a few wooden stools, and a strong bow made of unknown wood hangs on the wall. It looks mighty and extraordinary. It has a tiger's head and looks old. It seems that the owner of this room is a hunter with excellent archery skills.

Not long after, the door of the wooden house was pushed open, and a middle-aged man came in from the outside. Wang Li saw this man with a kind face, holding a goose feather fan, wearing a light blue robe, and wearing a seemingly extraordinary Long sword, wearing scribe boots.Wang Li thought to himself, could this be the sect master they were talking about.

Li Shiqi moved a wooden stool and sat next to Wang Li, and said with a smile: "I am Li Shiqi, the current sect leader of the Zongheng sect. I have admired General Wang for a long time. Now I heard that the evil thief Hu Hai secretly escorted the general into the imperial capital. I want to I was very angry after killing the general, so I took the action to rescue the general. If I have offended you before, please forgive me."

Wang Li felt relieved when he heard what Li Shiqi said, and thought to himself that he was a fan, no wonder he didn't hurt me, and he immediately felt relieved.

Li Shiqi saw that Wang Li's expression was relieved, knowing that the other party had put down his guard, he asked knowingly: "Isn't the general fighting against Hu outside the Great Wall? Why was Hu Hai secretly captured and brought to the imperial capital?"

When Wang Li heard the fan's question, he could still suppress the resentment in his heart, and he burst into tears and said: "I think Wang Li is also from a famous family, and I have made great contributions to Qin, how can Mr. Hu Hai treat me like this! "

"General, speak slowly," Li Shiqi comforted. "Come on, serve the wine!"

The disciple outside the door came in with a pot of fine wine as soon as he promised, Li Shiqi poured a bowl for Wang Li and said, "General Wang, drink first, let's chat while drinking!"

Wang Li was just depressed, and when he saw Li Shiqi filling him a bowl of delicious wine, he drank it without hesitation.He said angrily: "Meng Tian and I did not only expand the territory of Qin, but also put our youth on guarding the land and guarding the land, but Qin Ershi Hu Hai did not care about the achievements of us hard-working veterans, and imprisoned Meng Tian and escorted me to the Qin State. Xianyang. On the way, I heard from the person who escorted me that the Meng family had been wiped out, and my going to Xianyang is probably not good or bad."

Li Shiqi was Wang Liman, and Wang Li drank it without delay, and said with a wry smile: "Now that you have rescued me and spread it to Xianyang, my family is probably going to be killed."

Li Shiqi served Wang Liman another bowl of wine, and said with a smile, "General Wang, don't panic, the matter has not reached the point of irreparable."

Hearing Li Shiqi's words that there was still a chance of salvation, Wang Li was sober at once, and hurriedly asked: "The strong man said quickly, if he can save the lives of a certain wife and child, I would like to be the strong man's saddle."

Li Shiqi thought to himself that this guy was too easy to take the bait, and he couldn't bear to fool him, but he had to keep fooling him no matter what.Li Shiqi shook his goose feather fan, pretending to be deep and said: "This plan still needs the cooperation of General Wang. If it succeeds, it will surely help the general and his family escape the sea of ​​suffering."

"Brother Li, please speak. I am all ears." Wang Li urged.

Li Shiqi didn't directly talk about the strategy but instead asked Wang Li: "General, do you know why Hu Hai escorted you to Beijing?"

"I didn't know, I was also troubled by this!" Wang Li replied distressedly.

"Then I won't play riddles. Since the general knows the fate of the Meng family, he must know that Hu Hai is cleaning up the forces that oppose him. Although the Meng family is powerful, it is too pedantic, and it has ended up like this. General, you are different. General, your family background is similar to that of the Meng family, and you are very prestigious in the Daqin army. Now, the Meng family has been wiped out, and the only one who can influence the Daqin army is you, the grandson of Wang Jian, Wang Li. Hu Hai needs you to help him stabilize the morale of the army, so Your life will not be in danger if you go to Xianyang." Li Shiqi said slowly.

"Then why did Brother Li save me? Didn't this harm me?" Wang Li asked anxiously.

"Haha" Li Shiqi laughed, took a sip of his wine and said, "General, is he willing to serve such an incompetent and brutal monarch? Don't you know that the tyrant will kill your nine clans one day when he is in a bad mood!"

Wang Li was discouraged again: "It's not about advancing, nor about retreating. Is the sky going to kill me, Wang Li?"

Li Shiqi patted Wang Li on the back and said, "Don't be so depressed, General, I have a plan to help General get out of trouble!"

"Brother Li, stop torturing me, tell me quickly!" Wang Li stared at Li Shiqi closely.

"The general is here to meet Hu Hai alone, to gain his trust, and to stabilize the morale of the army for him when he ascends the throne. Then Hu Hai will definitely relax his monitoring of you, and I will wait for the opportunity to help you escape. As for the general's family, after the general gains trust, Hu Hai will definitely withdraw the monitoring personnel, the general can give me a token, and I can also help them escape." Li Shiqi looked at Wang Li with a smile, waiting for his decision.

"It's a good plan, but how to explain this robbery, and how to gain Hu Hai's trust." Wang Li's face was full of sadness.

"It's simple. I don't know if the general knows who is the sect who escorted you?" Li Shiqi looked at Wang Li while drinking his fine wine.

"It's not hard to guess. They don't act like officers and soldiers. From time to time they complain that Hu Hai is not up to the mark and use them as pawns. They probably belong to the Yin-Yang sect." Wang Li said without hesitation.

"That's right, they are disciples of the Yin-Yang faction, and they are just a cooperative relationship with Hu Hai. Naturally, they don't respect Hu Hai, and Hu Hai just regards them as a dog that can bite people. Then the general knows the status of the Yin-Yang faction in the arena." Li Shi Qi asked again.

"It is said that it is the largest sect in the Jianghu. It has already eliminated many sects with the help of Emperor Qin, and its momentum is booming." Wang Li replied while drinking.

"The Yin-Yang faction is known to the world as the largest sect in the Jianghu, so does the general know who the second most important sect in the Jianghu is?" Li Shiqi asked again.

Wang Li frowned, but didn't answer.Li Shiqi smiled and said, "Among the many sects in the world, only the peasant family is recognized as capable of resisting the Yin-Yang sect. So this time we will provoke the conflict between the Yin-Yang sect and the peasant family. It is also the general's way out."

"Why did you say that?" Wang Li asked in surprise.

Li Shiqi waved his goose feather fan and looked at Wang Li seriously: "Isn't there an excuse for the general? The Yin-Yang faction escorted the general halfway and was robbed by the farmhouse. The general escaped the farmhouse by hiding in the bushes." The disciple's search. As for the general's reason for wanting to win Hu Hai's trust, it is also very simple. While hiding in the bushes, the disciple who was lucky enough to hear the search said that because he wanted to compete with the Yin-Yang faction for the title of the world's number one faction, he wanted to assassinate Hu Hai on the day Hu Hai ascended the throne. Hu Hai already had a estrangement from the Yin-Yang faction, now if he hears the news, he will definitely trust you."

Wang Li frowned when he heard this, clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Sir, you are a great talent, a clever plan! This time, you are saved thanks to your help."

Li Shiqi waved his hands and smiled, "Come on, general, drink! This time, the general needs to save himself!"

Wang Li's face tightened, and then he calmed down and said, "Brother Li, when can I get out after I gain trust?"

Naturally, Li Shiqi would not let Wang Li die just like that, and he would need his assistance to save Meng Tian later.He comforted: "General Wang, please rest assured. After you gain trust, immediately go to the rice shop in the east of Xianyang City and find the shopkeeper there. The shopkeeper will tell you how to evacuate. General, please give me your token now. I will Arrangements will be made for the general's family to evacuate."

Without hesitation, Wang Li took out a jade pendant with a phoenix carved on it, gave it to Li Shiqi and said, "Brother Li, my wife will understand when she sees this jade."

"Okay! General, let's rush to Xianyang in the dark! This matter cannot be delayed, I will arrange people to help the general's family evacuate!" Li Shiqi said seriously.

Wang Li drank the wine in the bowl and walked into the night.Li Shiqi silently watched Wang Li's disappearance, and ordered everyone to go down and inform Sha Pojun that the matter had been completed.
