Seeing the three of Xiang Liang fleeing in a panic, the old man looked proud: "I joined the army at the age of 14, fought in the battlefield for decades, and I'm afraid of you three jumping clowns, hmph!"
"it is good!"
"The old man is mighty!"
The people around clapped their hands and applauded, raising the old man's proud beard to the sky.
Of course, this incident has also become the proudest thing in this old man's life. In the later days, everyone said that when someone assassinated the prime minister that day, he immediately stood in front of the thieves with a horizontal knife, and stunned the three thieves. I was so frightened that I rescued Prime Minister Zhong, otherwise all the people in this world would not have such a good life later.
Turning the book back to the front, at this moment, a team of forbidden troops had also arrived, and a guard who led the team asked what happened?
The old man hurriedly said: "Someone is going to assassinate the prime minister and destroy my Daqin reform!"
"What? Someone is going to assassinate the prime minister!" The imperial army was shocked.
The old man stroked his white beard: "However, the thief has been beaten away by the old man."
The guards froze for a moment and booed each other, naturally they didn't believe it, but then he saw Sergeant Habayashi lying on the ground, and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and quickly asked, "Where is Zhong Cheng?"
"The truth is here!"
Li Yang walked out of the crowd with Li You.
"See Zhong Cheng, see your lord!"
As soon as Wei Wei saw the two of them, he immediately led his subordinates to salute.
Although the Habayashi Army led by Li You was separated from the imperial imperial army, it was also considered to be in the imperial army department, so Li You could also be regarded as their commander.
"Close the city gate quickly, and none of the three thieves will let go!" Li You gritted his teeth with hatred. If it weren't for the protection of the people just now, he would have died in the hands of those three bastards now.
"Here!"
Wei Wei immediately took the order, and then rushed towards the city gate with his men, and started arresting Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew throughout the city...
Seeing the direction in which Xiang Liang and the others fled, Li Yang also cursed bitterly in his heart: Xiang Liang, you are so forceful that you want to kill Lao Tzu, you are so forceful!
"My lord, let's go back home as soon as possible?"
After the assassination happened just now, Li You didn't dare to let Li Yang hang around anymore.
Li Yang nodded, then looked at the eager eyes of everyone in front of him, and bowed his hands deeply: "Yang, thank you all here!"
All the people present hurriedly bowed their hands in return, and the old man said: "Lord Zhongcheng is our living parent. With you in Daqin, our people will have hope. If anyone dares to do you harm, our people will never agree!"
"Yes, whoever is unfavorable to Mr. Zhongcheng, we will defend to the death!" People shouted in unison.
Li Yang nodded movedly, then held the old man's hand, and said: "Old man, you were really majestic just now, but it was also dangerous. You must not be so reckless in the future, and you must take care of yourself."
The old man said: "Thank you for your concern, old man, anyway, I have no children and I am alone. It is worth dying to protect my lord."
Li Yang was taken aback: "The old man has no children?"
The old man nodded: "I have three sons, but they all died in battle."
Li Yang looked at this old man who was nearly sixty, thought that he was a lonely person, felt very sympathetic for a moment, and said: "In that case, why don't you go to my mansion, my manor just happens to be short of people."
"Thank you sir!"
When the old man heard this, tears filled his eyes, he gave a deep bow, and wanted to kneel down, but was supported by Li Yang, and asked, "What's your name, old man?"
The old man replied: "Wu Daozi, a commoner."
"Okay, I'll call you Uncle Wu from now on, and come back home with me now."
After speaking, Li Yang took Wu Bo to the prime minister's residence...
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhongcheng..."
Behind him, the common people hand in hand one after another...
On the way back, Li You couldn't help being moved when he thought of Li Yang's concern for him when he was in crisis, so he said: "My lord, if there is another danger next time, my lord should not hesitate any longer. The duty of my subordinates will be It is to protect you, my lord, if something happens to my lord, it will be my subordinate's dereliction of duty."
"With General Li around, I have nothing to fear, not to mention there are people like Uncle Wu here, haha..." Li Yang smiled.
When Li You heard it, he was even more impressed and excited.
He never dreamed that his life today would be saved by a group of common people.You know, in the past, those common people wished that officials like them would die early, so how could they stand up and help?
The art of governing the world... So this is the art of governing the world!
Mr. Zhongcheng is indeed a god-man who governs the world. This reform has just been implemented on the first day, and the people of the world are so supportive. It seems that Mr. Zhongcheng was not frivolous in the Qilin Palace before. If this continues, the people of the world will definitely protect and abide by the law in the future , love law.
Thinking of this, Li You looked at Li Yang with more admiration.
…………
Outside Xianyang City.
The three cavalry fled towards the outside of the city at high speed, and as soon as they left the city, the imperial army rushed to them, closing the city gates around Xianyang and setting up checks.
The three riders fled for half an hour, and when they reached the edge of a small forest, they saw that there was no Qin army chasing behind them, so they stopped their horses and took a rest.
"Uncle, why did you kill that Prime Minister?"
After getting off the horse, Xiang Yu couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart.
Xiang Liang sighed and said, "Because this person leads the reform, how could he not kill him!"
Xiang Yu was even more puzzled: "His reform is so good, the abolition of continuous sitting and the lightening of corvee labor are really relieving the suffering of the people of the world. If he is killed, the people of the world will continue to live in dire straits of tyranny?"
Xiang Bo smiled and said, "Yu'er, don't worry, listen to uncle."
Xiang Yu felt that killing such a good man would be against his integrity, so he looked at Xiang Liang unhappily.
Xiang Liang explained: "Yu'er, don't you forget that after you are a hero, don't forget your responsibility and the shame of Chu State, you are going to restore the country, don't you even think why I killed Li Yang?" Can't think of any reason?"
Xiang Yu said angrily: "Naturally, my nephew will not forget that we are the queen of heroes, but Li Zhongcheng's reform has won the hearts of the people. I really don't know why my uncle vowed to kill this person. I hope my uncle can clarify."
Xiang Liang sighed: "Yu'er, you also said that this person's reform has won the hearts of the people, and you have also seen that even if we want to kill this person, the people will protect him to the death. You said that if such a person is allowed to continue If the reform continues, will we still be able to destroy this country of Qin? Who will follow me and raise troops against Qin from all the people in this world?"
Xiang Bo also said: "Yes, Yu'er, this person cannot be kept, otherwise we will have no hope of returning to the country!"
"This..." Xiang Yu was also speechless for a moment.
When Xiang Liang thought of the old man who pinched him with a walking stick, he felt angry and said angrily, "It's a pity that I didn't kill him today! Sigh!"
Uncle Xiang also had a bitter face, thought for a while, and said: "We don't have time. If we don't start the incident as soon as possible, let him have time once the reform is successful, and the general situation will be gone."
