Chapter 221 Li Si is shocked, the emperor's heart is unpredictable
Li Si's expression remained unchanged, but the wine glass in his hand suddenly trembled, and the wine spilled. Li Si was shocked: "Brothers killing each other?"
Li Si looked at Wang Xi who was drinking unrestrainedly and thought to himself, "He knows the Eight Linglongs, and he also knows that one of the Eight Linglongs, Zhen Hou, is the half-brother of Ying Zheng, Chang'an Jun Chengjiao."
You know, Ba Linglong has always appeared as eight people. No one knows what Ba Linglong's identity is, who Ba Linglong is, or Ba Linglong's code name.
For example, there are code names like Zhen Hou, Yi Feng, Dui Li, etc., but Wang Xi is very clear that among the Eight Linglong there is Zhen Hou, Chang'an Jun Cheng Jiao.
The true identity of Ba Linglong was known only to the top leaders of Luowang and Liusha who had just uncovered Ba Linglong's identity.
But Wang Xi said it at this time, and it was very clear.
Li Si appeared calm on the surface, but inside there was a huge wave of controversy. Only two people knew Ba Linglong's true identity.
One is Liusha, but Liusha cooperated with Ying Zheng and helped Ying Zheng block Ba Linglong’s murderous intentions. It is impossible for him to betray Ying Zheng at this time.
The second one is Luo Wang. Wang Xi knows Ba Linglong’s background so well and can accurately tell the true identity of Ba Linglong Zhenhou.
Luo Wang knows Ba Linglong’s true identity. What is the relationship between Wang Xi and Luo Wang?
If Wang Xi was also a member of Luo Wang, given Luo Wang's personality, he would not stop until the mission was completed, so Wang Xi suddenly led his troops to Wusui.
All this is not a coincidence, but a trap carefully woven by Luo Wang, and Wang Xi may be the one responsible for closing the net.
The Wu Sui military camp is filled with murderous intent and is no longer safe.
Li Si took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, curbed the wild thoughts in his mind, and said calmly: "General Wang Xi guards the border, and he knows a lot about what happened in South Korea."
This was a test, the author wanted to know how Wang Xi would answer and what Wang Xi's true face was.
Wang Xi's eyes were cold and his face was uncertain. Then he smiled a little. He raised his right hand, stroked the right side of his head, and sighed, "I am old. Chang'an Jun Chengjiao's rebellion in Tunliu happened a year ago. I actually got it mixed up."
"You've mixed up all the affairs of Ba Linglong and Chang'an Jun Chengjiao. You're old and useless."
Li Si smiled, raised his glass, and said, "General, you are busy with military affairs, so it is normal for you to make a mistake."
"It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore, General. I'll take my leave."
Li Si stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.
Wang Xi looked at Li Si's departing back and suddenly said, "Lord Li once said that serving Prime Minister Lu is also serving the king, but..."
Wang Xi stood up slowly, his tone cold, he held the wine glass in his right hand, pressed the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and slowly approached Li Si. Under the light, with every step Wang Xi took closer, his shadow was lengthened by the light, gradually covering Li Si's thin body.
Wang Xi continued, "But Lord Li only has one life. How can he protect two people in a place full of dangers?"
There was silence in the air and everyone looked at each other in silence.
......
In Ying Zheng's tent, Ying Zheng knelt in the main seat, the oil lamp was burning, Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips on the table, his body straight and his demeanor extraordinary.
Gai Nie knelt aside, his face cold and his mind focused, his sword at his side, paying attention to everything around him at all times.
The candlelight flickered, casting the shadows of two people in the tent.
Ying Zheng looked down at the bamboo slips and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Wang Zhi?"
Gai Nie pondered for a moment, then said, "Wang Qi was fierce and resourceful in battle. As Bai Qi's deputy general, he won many victories for the Qin State. He is a rare general."
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips and said, "Back then, Qin State launched an attack on Zhao State. In the Battle of Handan, Zhao State fought back desperately, resulting in Qin State's defeat and forced to rest and recuperate."
"When Wang Xi led his troops to fight, he failed to capture Handan of Zhao State for a long time, but his military achievements did not decrease but increased, which was inconsistent with the Qin system."
The Qin State had always implemented the military merit system, and only those with military merit could be promoted quickly. However, although Wang Qi did not conquer the Zhao State, his military merit increased strangely.
This is what Ying Zheng was wondering about. In the face of the strict system of the Qin State, Wang Ji had obviously broken through the Qin State's military merit system.
Gai Nie analyzed: "Wang Xi's sudden appearance in Wusui is very suspicious. After learning about Master Shang's news, he immediately arranged to meet him in another tent."
"Moreover, after secretly killing the scout, he continued to offer strategies, setting up strategies step by step, linking them together, and everything was arranged clearly."
"I think this man is quite shrewd. This is probably why he has achieved his current position."
"but."
Gai Nie added: "Although Wang Xi's plan is very tight and watertight, it is still quite inconsistent with the current situation."
"All I can say is, be careful. Wang Xi cannot be trusted right now."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It seems that Mr. Mu is right. We must be careful of Wang Xi."
Gai Nie's face was shocked and he said in surprise: "Mr. Mu is far away in Korea, but he has already guessed what happened here."
Yu had to be shocked. It had only been one day since Gai Nie, Ying Zheng and others came to Wusui, but Mu Feng had already told them to be careful of Wang Xi when they were in Korea.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Mr. Mu is just reminding you, but please observe what Wang Xi does."
"and."
Ying Zheng looked around. The soldiers were patrolling everywhere. He continued, "After Wang Zhi left, the patrols in the barracks became much tighter. Wang Zhi had to be on guard."
Gai Nie nodded. Mu Feng was just a reminder. However, after entering Wusui himself, Gai Nie also found that this place seemed not simple and was filled with murderous intent.
Ying Zheng continued, "Mr. Mu once said that Meng Tian of the Meng family is a rare general. According to the military's movements, Meng Tian should be in the Wusui military camp."
"It's time to test Meng Tian's loyalty. If the Meng family joins me, I'll be very confident."
Gai Nie nodded, understanding Ying Zheng's arrangement. With Meng Tian's support in the military camp, his group would have help and their safety would be greatly guaranteed.
Moreover, the Meng family had been generals for generations and had accumulated strong prestige in the army. The Meng family's surrender meant that Ying Zheng had gained a firm foothold in the army.
For Ying Zheng, who was about to return to Xianyang, he was sure to fight for the throne of Qin.
Gai Nie stood up and saluted, saying, "There is no time to lose. I will go and test Meng Tian right now."
Gai Nie acted decisively and took a step forward to walk out of the tent.
At this time, the tent was opened, and Li Si stepped into the tent, shook hands and saluted, saying: "Master Shang, don't worry, you will have a chance to return to Xianyang soon."
Ying Zheng had a calm expression and deep eyes, and asked, "Li Si, are you saying that the letter has been sent?"
