Saint Qin Batu

Xiong Qi shook his head, looking at the bruised but cheerful guard outside the window, he said: "After this battle, the only force we have in our hands has been exhausted..."

Xiong Huan was taken aback when he heard this, and then he said indifferently: "These are just family soldiers and followers. When my brother becomes famous in the customs, are you afraid that no one will come to seek refuge?"

"Then do you know how many of these people are trustworthy?" Xiong Qi asked casually without looking back.

After hearing this, Xiong Huan was also shocked.

Yes, most of these people were recruited by Xiong Quan when he was there.Except for hundreds of customers, most of the rest are family soldiers.

And these family soldiers, although their martial arts are mediocre, they were acquired by Xiong Quan after more than ten years of management.Loyalty, no doubt.

Now, if we recruit more people, we can naturally recruit people with high martial arts skills, but it is difficult to guarantee whether there will be people inserted by other forces among them.

From this point of view, on the contrary, as Xiong Qi said, they exhausted the only force in their hands.Even this bit of force won't do much.

"Then brother, what should we do?" Xiong Huan asked with some concern.

Xiong Qi lightly tapped on the armrest of the carriage, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "What Ying Zheng did was just to warn us not to try to meddle in military affairs."

"Since that's the case, our brother will let Mr. Yingzheng see it and tell him that sometimes the court is more powerful than the army!"

Chapter 1: The Anger of the Old Qin Family

In a magnificent room, more than a dozen men sat side by side.

Some of these people are only in their thirties, while others are in their seventies or eighties.However, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are full of military style.

"Tell me..." In the hall, Sima Jun said in a deep voice.

"..."

However, all the people below glanced back and forth, but no one spoke.

"Hmph, why, when you are about to fight, you are afraid of the enemy!" Sima Jun shouted in a low voice.

All the Patriarchs of the old Qin family shook their bodies and lowered their heads.They knew that Sima Jun was really angry at this moment.

In fact, Sima Jun was really angry at this time.

The second time, this is already the second time!It can be said that the miscellaneous family has directly threatened his life for the second time.

Even this time, his sense of crisis was stronger than last time.Because Sima Jun also took the medicine this time, the feeling of powerlessness was as if someone had put it on the sword.

People like Sima Jun who have held power for a long time naturally have the common problem of all nobles, that is, they are afraid of death.Especially a few days ago, after the death of his old enemy Xiong Quan.Sima Jun's feeling became stronger and stronger.

This is also the reason why all the heads of the old Qin family dare not raise their heads.

However, even though the two crises were brought about by Zajia, at this moment, what Sima Jun hated the most was not Zajia, but Ying Zheng who was now in Xianyang Palace.

For the first time, without warning, Yingzheng launched a coup when the new king came to the throne, killing Lu Buwei, who was the prime minister at the time, and even used this to wipe out all the forces in the palace.

And because of this, An Zi, who was in the palace of Lao Qin, was completely cleared up.Even, under Ying Zheng's huge deterrence, the old Qin family had to calm down patiently for a few days.

However, just a few days ago.Sima Jun had just hosted a banquet for the patriarch of the old Qin family, and when he was about to start putting pressure on Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng actually did something like this again.

Yes, with Sima Jun's eyes, he can naturally see the tricks behind the empress seal and the rebellion of the miscellaneous family.

Originally, the Empress Dowager could be held in the heavily guarded Xianyang Palace, why choose it in Zhangtai Palace and give those rebels a chance?

The most important thing is that the rebellion just broke through the palace gate, and Xiong Qi from the Chu family arrived with his own Hakka soldiers. Is this too fast?

Unless, these people had already ambushed in Zhangtai Palace early on.And the only one who has the ability to let so many people into the palace is Ying Zheng, who is the King of Qin.

What's more, the woman who was named queen before was also the younger sister of the two.

Now, these two people have been crowned kings because of this, and their status is comparable to ascending to the sky in one step.And under the guise of his identity as the uncle of the country, even Sima Jun has to carefully weigh their identities.

If it is said that so many coincidences were not arranged by Ying Zheng, even if Sima Jun was killed, he would not believe it.And Ying Zheng did this, and his intentions couldn't be more clear.

Although Meng Ao is now in the hands of the Yaodong faction, Meng Ao holds a large army after all. No matter how much Ying Zheng trusts him, he will not expand the power in Meng Ao's hands.

So, have Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan become tools that Ying Zheng valued to deal with the old Qin family?

"Why, are you so willing to be played by that kid who hasn't reached the crown ceremony like an idiot!" Sima Jun slapped the table and shouted.

The Patriarchs below looked at each other again. In the end, an old man with a gray beard stood up. He was the Patriarch of the Meng Family in Meng Xibai, a family of the Qin State.

The old man cupped his hands to Sima Jun, and said: "Brother Sima, since the king has been deceived by others, we old Qin people should naturally let the king wake up. The state of Qin still depends on us old Qin people!"

"That's right, I also agree with what Elder Meng said!" The Patriarch Ling also stood up and said.

After a while, several Patriarchs stood up and expressed their agreement.

However, although these people's actions were extremely intense, Sima Jun turned a blind eye, just staring at one person, like an old monk in meditation.

"If that's the case, let's move the Yaodong department first, it can be regarded as a warning to the king!" Finally, Bai Lijun, who is the second person in the old Qin department, spoke.

Sima Jun, who had been silent all this time, had a smile on his face.

"Nephew Baili, what exactly do you mean?" the Patriarch of the Meng family asked suspiciously.

And the other patriarchs of the old Qin family also showed doubts, and couldn't figure out how to move the Yaodong family.

"I'm ashamed to say that this plan is still under the guidance of my followers." Bai Lijun said the plan with a smile.

Immediately, the Patriarchs showed a slight look of understanding.However, after understanding it, he was even more confused, and some didn't quite understand Baili Jun's meaning.

"But, isn't this person a little lighter?" Finally, a patriarch asked with some doubts.

"That's right, Brother Baili, this person is just a canal supervisor. Isn't it too difficult to use this person to shake the Yaodong Department?"

All the masters said with some disapproval.

A look of disdain flashed in Baili Jun's eyes, and then he explained with a smile, "Although this man is not a great talent, his skills in building river channels are truly outstanding."

"Everyone." Baili Jun stood up, looked around at the heads of the old Qin family, and continued: "Do you still remember how many people were used to build this canal?"

"No less than hundreds of thousands!" The eyes of some old Qin family patriarchs suddenly lit up.

"Hehe, hundreds of thousands of people built this canal. It is conceivable how much manpower and financial resources I, Daqin, have spent on this." Baili Jun smiled confidently again.

"If so, there is a problem with such a big canal that has spent several years and used tens of thousands of people. Is it enough to make the Yaodong Department suffer a big loss?"

"This..." The remaining old Patriarch Qin also fell silent.

Indeed, this era has not really paid attention to craftsmen, and the only thing worthy of people's attention is the Mohist school.
