Imperial Medical Bureau.
Zhu Danxi had just received the imperial edict.
He is very panicked now and his mind is in a mess.
I'm almost thinking about arranging my funeral.
Cai Jing came here, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Danxi, His Majesty lets you go because he thinks highly of you. You must not let His Majesty down."
Hear the sound.
Zhu Danxi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He felt like crying but couldn't.
Cai Jing continued, "Your Majesty's intention, I believe you have guessed it, right?
When you were young, you were an expert in using poisons, but after you joined the Imperial Medical Bureau, you never delved into the art of poisoning again.
However, your previous identity cannot be concealed, not to mention that His Majesty also has the East Factory organization.
Therefore, His Majesty sent you to Hangu Pass to have you kill Xiang Yan with his medicine. Only in this way can we fight for a way to survive for our Great Qin.
You don't want to see the day when the Qin State is conquered by the Chu State, right?"
After hearing the other party's long speech, Zhu Danxi wanted to cry even more.
If Xiang Yan is killed, will there be any chance for me to survive?
When I first joined the Imperial Medical Bureau, I just wanted to escape the fighting in the martial arts world and hide here to retire.
Seeing Zhu Danxi's silent expression, Cai Jing said sternly: "His Majesty's decree has been issued. You must go on this trip whether you want to or not.
For the sake of the people of Daqin, you have no choice. But don't worry, no matter what you ask for, the court will do its best to satisfy you."
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Danxi's eyes lit up and he subconsciously said, "Are you serious?"
"Of course I take it seriously."
"Then can I not go?"
"cannot."
"oh."
“…”
There was a brief silence at the scene.
Not long after.
Seeing that no one was around, Zhu Danxi whispered, "Can you take me to Zuixianlou?"
"Huh."
Cai Jing nodded with an expression that showed he understood him.
Zhu Danxi quickly said, "Prime Minister Cai, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to experience the feeling of living a life of drunkenness and dreaming of death."
Cai Jing smiled and said, "I understand you. A man is a young man until he dies."
later.
Zhu Danxi and Cai Jing went to Zuixianlou.
The two men drank with several women all night long.
Zhu Danxi was drunk and high, so he took the initiative to pay the bill.
After sobering up, he felt very regretful.
Because he spent all the retirement money he had saved over the years.
Cai Jing always said that he was righteous.
Instead of spending public funds, he had to treat himself to drinks with his own money, and no one could stop him.
This made many civil officials look at him with higher regard.
He felt very sad, but what else could he do?
I will leave Xianyang today and head to Hangu Pass.
I don’t know if there will be another chance to spend that public money.
Before leaving, Cai Jing said slowly because of his righteousness:
"Isn't there a slow-acting poison in this world? You can give Xiang Yan this. As long as you can guarantee that he will be poisoned to death within a certain period of time, it will be fine.
At that time, I will arrange for you to leave Hangu Pass and return to Xianyang City. It would be the best outcome if you could return alive, because I haven't seen anyone as generous as you in a long time."
The corners of Zhu Danxi's mouth twitched.
My heart is bleeding.
If we don't mention what we spent last night, we can still be friends.
......
Late August of the second year of Chengping.
Scorching heat.
Ying Yuan issued an imperial decree.
Cao Cao was appointed as the chief commander, Zhao Kuo as the deputy commander, and four high-ranking officials as the generals of cavalry, chariots, front, and rear.
King Ying Chengjiao of Chang'an was the vanguard.
A total of 500,000 troops were sent to Hangu Pass
Prepare to retake the homeland in one fell swoop.
now.
Cao Cao's camp.
After learning the emperor's decree, all the soldiers were ecstatic.
Cao Cao said to Guo Jia and others:
"Ever since I heard that Chu was interested in peace talks, I have been worried every day that Your Majesty would temporarily compromise with Chu.
But now it seems that His Majesty's determination to recover our homeland is even stronger than ours!"
Xun Yu nodded and said, "We are fortunate that Great Qin has such a wise ruler. Otherwise, if it were someone else, I'm afraid that by now, Great Qin would have already fallen apart."
Xi Zhicai coughed twice, his face pale as he said, "Lord Cao, don't be too happy too soon. Your Majesty has appointed the Prince of Chang'an as the vanguard. Do you understand the deep meaning behind this?"
Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "You mean to say that Your Majesty wants to use the Chu army to get rid of..."
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Mr. Cao is right. The Prince of Chang'an has always been domineering, and Your Majesty has already regarded him as a thorn in his side.
Therefore, this time the King of Chang'an is the vanguard. No matter what the battle situation is, Cao Gong cannot let him survive. The best result is to kill him in the chaos of the army.
only..."
"Just what?" Cao Cao asked impatiently.
Guo Jia took over the conversation and responded, "Brother Zhicai is afraid that Ying Chengjiao has already known your majesty's intentions.
If I were him, there would only be one way to survive, and that is... to join the Chu army!"
"Treason? He dares?!"
Cao Cao suddenly became excited.
After calming down, he increasingly believed that Ying Chengjiao might really do this.
I guess Ying Chengjiao never dreamed that his opponent was not just Ying Yuan.
There is also Cao Cao and his think tank and generals, as well as Dong Zhuo, Zhao Kuangyin and others who have expressed their loyalty to Ying Yuan.
Battle of wits and courage with so many heroes in Chinese history.
He is far from enough.
Unless the First Emperor comes in person.
