Chapter 402 Fear
The rockery was very large, but the passage inside was less than half a meter wide. They climbed more than ten meters before reaching the entrance to the secret room.
With a "click", the lock was opened. The one-eyed man crawled into the secret room first, then stretched out his hands and took Zhao Xie in.
This secret room is not big, with only a few simple boxes, but it is extremely safe.
With the entire rockery as cover, no one can find them unless someone informs them.
Even if the entire Zhao Mansion was burned down, it would not affect their safety.
However, they forgot that the Qin army was unstoppable, and they also forgot that the word "Qin army" meant invincibility and that they would never give up until they achieved their goal.
In Zhao's mansion, Li Zuoche wanted to divert the attention of the Qin army and break out at all costs.
The black-armored guards knew the entire Zhao Mansion very well.
Straight to the backyard.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Li Zuoche let out a wail and, in desperation, ignored the swords and knives that were aimed at him and rushed towards the leader of the Qin army.
"Boom-"
Swords clashed.
Li Zuoche fell down.
The captain looked at Li Zuoche lying on the ground with regret. He was stabbed in the chest and there was no possibility of survival.
What a pity. If he were still alive, he could be caught and used to build roads.
"Search! Don't let any one go!"
Zhao Xie hid in the secret room, listening to the sound of fighting above his head gradually weakening, and then hearing hurried footsteps running nearby. His heart beat faster and faster, and cold sweat began to break out on his body.
Finally, the noise outside became quieter.
He finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the box.
They slept so soundly that they didn't know what day it was. The secret room was pitch black and they didn't dare to light a lamp. They could only grope in the dark to find some sunken rice from the box to fill their stomachs.
"Master, don't be afraid. Once they leave, we'll go out."
"Yes, we just have to wait."
In the darkness, the two comforted each other.
"How long has it been? Have all the people outside left?" Zhao Xie asked in a low voice.
"It should have been a day..." the one-eyed man replied uncertainly.
After eating some more Shenmi, the two tried to make themselves fall asleep.
"A few days?"
"I don't know..."
The darkness and silence gradually consumed the patience of the two people.
Just when Zhao Xie couldn't bear it any longer and was about to crawl out to see what was going on, a loud crash suddenly came from outside the secret room.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
Zhao Xie fumbled anxiously in the darkness. When he found One-Eye, he immediately grabbed him tightly. "What happened outside? Has the Qin army not left yet?"
The one-eyed man was also unsure.
This sound...
The Qin army is moving mountains?!
Thinking of this, the one-eyed man was shocked. For a moment, his mind went blank and he had no idea what to do.
With a deafening roar, the whole earth seemed to be shaking.
"Divine Thunder! They actually used Divine Thunder! They're blasting the mountain!"
Zhao Xie panicked.
The one-eyed man was also panicked.
Once the divine thunder comes out, no matter how big the rockery is, it will be flattened sooner or later.
"boom--"
There was another loud noise.
Dust fell and Zhao Xie collapsed to the ground, muttering, "It's over, it's all over..."
Soon, a bright light fell from above.
The one-eyed servant held a sharp sword and tried to resist, but the black-armored guards would not give him a chance. In a few moments, they pushed the two men to the ground.
Zhao Xie looked at the weapon flashing with cold light in front of him, a look of despair on his face, and his heart was dead.
"Zhao Xie, let's go and tell us where your private soldiers are."
The arrest took only three days from start to finish.
When dawn came again, the people of Xindu County dared to come out of their homes only after hearing the normal noise.
"The Zhao thief plotted rebellion and assassinated the emperor. All relatives and friends of the three clans were taken to Xianyang."
The messenger took the lead, singing the charges against Zhao Xie and others.
In the convoy that followed, Zhao Xie and others had their hands and feet chained, sitting in a transparent prison van, allowing the people to point and criticize them.
"It turned out to be him! The traitor who assassinated the Emperor is actually in our Xindu!"
"Beat him! Beat him! Traitor!"
The people, who were still confused about why the soldiers were arresting people, could no longer hold back when they heard that these people were the masterminds behind the assassination of the emperor.
Rotten vegetable leaves, soil, and even the dirty stuff in the chamber pot were all thrown into the prison van.
"I'll beat you to death, you stinking traitor!"
"I told you to assassinate the Emperor! You stink!"
Zhao Xie and others in the prison van huddled in the corner with their heads in their hands, not daring to move.
The bodies of Li Zuoche and others were hung at the back of the prison van by officers and soldiers, but there was no way to avoid it. They were already extremely dirty before they even left the city.
"The traitor must be executed!"
"Smash them to death!"
The people's curses continued, and Zhao Xie's face had turned red. I wonder if he felt any regret?
The escort team stopped and walked along the way, and wherever they passed, people came to watch and vent their anger.
Within a few days, news of the assassin's capture was received throughout the Qin Dynasty.
"Bang bang—"
In a small farmyard in Yingchuan County, Mo Taijie angrily slammed his hand on the table.
"How despicable! How dare you insult General Li's corpse like this!"
His eyes were bloodshot, showing how angry he was!
"That's the descendant of General Li Mu! If General Li were still alive, how could the Qin people be where they are today?!"
What made him angry was not only that the King of Qin dug out the secrets of Zhao Xie and Li Zuoche so quickly, but also the ruthlessness shown by the King of Qin.
You have to know that the literati at that time believed in "resting in peace and returning the body intact". Even if they were enemies, death was like the extinguishing of a light, and most people would leave the other party with an intact body, and there was even a tradition of lavish burials.
Ying Zheng's sudden cruelty was truly frightening.
Anyone who wants to assassinate someone in the future will have to consider their own peace after death.
"What's wrong with him this time? He's been assassinated so many times before, but he's never been this violent. Is Yuehua really that untouchable?"
Mo Taijie frowned in confusion and looked at Ziying beside him.
of course……
Ziying muttered to himself: The power of moonlight can help stabilize the Great Qin and lay the foundation for eternity. How can you ignorant rebels understand this?
As he thought about it, a look of grief appeared on his face. He said in a low voice, "It's a pity that General Li died before he could accomplish his great cause..."
Ziying's eyelids drooped, hiding the inquiry in his eyes, and he continued, "As for those soldiers, I don't know where they are hiding now, and who is leading them?"
This is tricky!
Mo Taijie narrowed his eyes suddenly. These soldiers are the key.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He stood up from his chair and paced back and forth in front of the table.
"What should we do? Does anyone know the location of the private soldiers?"
He stopped and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.
"We must move those soldiers away before the Qin army can interrogate their hiding place!"
"Alas..." Ziying shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that none of us can contact those soldiers."
"What should we do? Those soldiers are elite troops that General Li has trained for a long time..."
