Chapter 66 Wang Li's Mission

The minor official at the city gate ran in to report the news. Wang Li took advantage of this opportunity, pulled over a Black Dragon Guard, and whispered in his ear.

"Wang Rong, you are a member of the Wang family's side branch. You and the Wang family will rise and fall together."

"There is something that Gongzi Yuan has entrusted to me. I am afraid that I will be held back by someone and it will be inconvenient for me to get away. You have to go quietly."

The one named Wang Rong is from the side branch of the Wang family.

As a member of the Wang family, he also climbed up through military merit.

But even though he is now deep in the Black Dragon Guard, since Wang Li has asked, he has to do this job.

He was not worried that Wang Li would fool him.

Since Wang Li has already stated that it was a task assigned by Gongzi Yuan, even if it is not convenient to state it now, he will always be given an explanation afterwards.

Wang Li was not vague and directly told what Prince Yuan had instructed him to do, which was to kill Liu Bang.

"This is not difficult, it's just a pavilion chief in Sishui!"

"If he does it openly and aboveboard, it would be easy for me to kill him."

"But I came here on the king's orders and I am also playing the king's chess game. There are some things that I cannot do too arrogantly."

"Wang Rong, you can only do this quietly after dark!"

"After we enter the city, I will let you take charge of the protection. Then you can find a reason to change clothes and get away!"

Wang Rong nodded silently and accepted the task.

It's just killing one person, and as Wang Li said, he's just a pavilion chief, what's the big deal?

Not to mention his identity as a member of the Wang family, just the fact that he is now a Black Dragon Guard, as long as he does not massacre people, killing a few people is no different from crushing an ant.

Seeing that Wang Rong was already prepared, Wang Li stopped talking.

It's just a small matter, just leave it to Wang Rong. Does it really have to be done by him, the captain of the Black Dragon Guard, in person?

Not long after, a middle-aged man in coarse linen official clothes climbed up to the top of the city wall in a hurry.

As soon as he stuck his head out to take a look, he gasped.

"Hiss, it really is the Black Dragon Guard!"

"My god, what happened in our county? How did we get into trouble with such a murderer?"

The old soldier who had just gone to report the news smiled bitterly and pulled the county magistrate's clothes.

"My Lord, please stop sighing here and go down to greet him!"

"This captain who leads the team can play Wang family chess, so he must be from the Wang family where both father and son are made marquises!"

"If a direct descendant of such a noble family can take action, it must be a big event. The county lord must not make the mistake!"

As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate Xing Wei, who had been somewhat worried in his heart, was suddenly shocked, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He slapped the old soldier beside him on the shoulder and said, "Good job, Old Yan. You can't read a single word, but you have a good eye."

"I almost did something wrong, luckily you were here!"

"Don't worry, I'll remember this favor and will definitely repay you in the future!"

"Let me go meet this young man from the Wang family first!"

The old guard at the city gate, known as Lao Yan, laughed so hard his mouth almost broke when he heard this.

He knew that there was absolutely no hope for him to be granted a title of nobility or a military officer in this life, and originally thought that he could just live out his life in this small county.

I never thought that at the last minute, I would have a connection with the county magistrate.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the emperor, the nine ministers and a group of princes, a county magistrate is just a small official.

But for the common people, the county magistrate can be praised as the "Marquis of a Hundred Miles".

All matters under his jurisdiction can be decided with a single word! With such people taking care of him, his family will definitely be able to make a name for themselves in the local area in the future!
We will not talk about the drama between the master and servant and what happened afterwards for now, let’s first talk about the county magistrate’s lucky victory. He was seen striding up to Wang Li’s horse.

He stopped when he was two meters away.

It was the armored horse that, seeing the stranger coming, pawed the ground with its four hooves and snorted, as if it was going to kick the person.

The knight on the horse was wearing heavy black armor, and before he got close, he felt a murderous aura coming towards him.

"Pei County Magistrate is fortunate to have met Captain Wang. I wonder if the Captain has informed me of any official business?"

Wang Li nodded as a greeting, he said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, County Magistrate. I am here on the orders of the king. Please arrange for our soldiers to be stationed first. Then, in the lobby of the county government, I will provide the tiger talisman and the imperial edict for investigation!"

Xingsheng felt relieved when he heard this.

This is the normal process!

Normally, when the Qin army was mobilized, even if it was to enter a county town, it had to be for official business and corresponding imperial decrees.

Otherwise, it would be regarded as dispersing troops without order, which is a serious crime.

Now that Wang Li said this, it was obvious that he had an imperial edict on hand, but some things were not convenient to be said to outsiders.

This is normal!

The relieved Pei County magistrate Xingsheng quickly asked Lao Yan, the city gate guard who had just given the reminder, to lead the group of Black Dragon Guards to the post station.

He accompanied Wang Li straight to the county government office.

Not long after, the county magistrate Lu Wen, who had been waiting for a long time, and the county magistrate Xing Sheng examined the imperial edict and tiger talisman in Wang Li's hand. They finally felt relieved and looked at Wang Li eagerly.

"Captain Wang, this imperial edict only states that you have official business in Pei County and need our assistance, but it does not specify what it is."

"There are only two of us here now, can we talk in detail?"

Wang Li nodded and said, "I am here on orders to help a minor official in Pei County, whose name is Xiao He."

"I don't know where this person is. Can you please invite him over?"

Xingsheng and Lu Wen were startled when they heard this.

Xiao He?

They were very familiar with this person because he was a capable official under their command.

But what virtue and ability did Xiao He have to ask Xianyang to issue an imperial edict and let the third generation of the Wang family come in person?

After looking at each other, the two shook their heads at the same time, and then hurriedly shouted outside to call Xiao He over.

They have figured it out now.

It doesn't matter if you don't know. Anyway, everything will be clear when Xiao He comes.

Just as the servant outside was running to inform Xiao He, in the post station where the Black Dragon Guard was stationed, Wang Rong, who had been instructed by Wang Li in advance, changed his clothes, greeted everyone with a smile and walked out.

"Old Wang, what are you doing? Do you have a lover in Pei County?"

Wang Rong didn't seem nervous at all when he heard that. Instead, he cursed back with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm not one of you perverts. Yeah, I want to buy some local stuff!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't this be a wasted trip?"

"If you have some free time, buy some!"

When the crowd heard this, some agreed while others didn't care and instead treated Wang Rong's going out as normal.

Wang Rong changed into casual clothes and turned around as soon as he went out, and disappeared from everyone's sight!
