Chapter 82: Loyalty in the Field of Corpses
At this time, the main street of Xianyang City Gate was already crowded with the Xianyang City Guards, Black Dragon Guards, and... household soldiers who had arrived one after another!
That’s right, it’s the family soldiers!
The one who called the family soldiers was Wang Li, the captain of the Black Dragon Guard who was in charge of the escort mission on this trip.
This is also a smart man.
He knew clearly that if his grandfather and father took action, they could naturally mobilize the Black Dragon Guards and other armies.
In an emergency, both of his family members can do it!
Afterwards, it was just a matter of completing the formalities.
But Wang Li couldn't do it!
What should I do?
Mobilize the troops!
Could it be that the eldest young master of the Wang family, as the Wang family's family soldiers, could not mobilize them?
However, he thought of mobilizing the family soldiers, but the others could not sit idle after learning the news.
So this is the current situation.
The innermost layer was the palace soldiers mobilized by Wang Li and the Black Dragon Guards who had just fought together.
The outer layer was the Black Dragon Guards who were urgently dispatched and galloped over on horseback at full speed in two hundred cavalrymen.
Just by looking at the other party's fully equipped armor, bows, crossbows, and halberds, you can tell that they are well prepared.
At the outermost edge are the equally murderous city guards.
They may seem insignificant, but they have the heaviest responsibilities because they are responsible for maintaining public security and order in Xianyang.
It is precisely because of this that the city guards, who had been blamed for their actions, now have red eyes.
If anyone dared to go forward without warning, they would probably chop him a few times before asking him questions.
However, facing this serious look, Ying Yuan, the person involved, didn't take it to heart at all.
He looked at Zhang Liang in front of him with a calm expression.
"Any last words?"
Zhang Liang forced a bitter smile and shook his head.
"You, the regent of the Qin Dynasty, don't care about whether the Qin Dynasty is tyrannical or not. What else can I say?"
"But I'm very curious, do you really not care about this reputation?"
"You just admitted that in public?"
Ying Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You are talking nonsense!"
"What I just said is that if you want to think that my Great Qin is a tyrannical Qin, then just admit it!"
"I am not admitting it, I am just too lazy to explain it to you!"
Ying Yuan looked around and said in a deep voice.
"As a prince of the Great Qin State, I have been ordered to supervise the country, so I should put state affairs first."
"So, this young master knows very well what is false name and reputation!"
"To put it bluntly, as long as the people are well fed and clothed, you evil thieves will not care even if you shout about the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty every day. "
"But if the people are struggling to make ends meet and have no food to eat, even if the officials and nobles all sing praises of the emperor, the world will still not be at peace!"
"You're going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter if I let you die knowingly!"
Zhang Liang listened to Ying Yuan's explanation and shook his head disappointedly.
"If the former King of Han could understand this truth, why would he have come to this?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Yuan didn't even bother to reply.
What needs to be done has been done!
He is not the kind of saint who would let someone go even if someone comes to kill him.
He was simply taking this opportunity to convey some ideas.
As for Zhang Liang?
Haha, so what even if you are famous?
If you anger Daqin, you will die!
Seeing that Zhang Liang was obviously about to collapse, Ying Yuan simply waved his hand.
"Long Qie, leave his body intact!"
"That's it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang looked up at Ying Yuan, then strained to look at the bodies of his subordinates and companions around him, and gave a bitter smile.
But before he could say anything, Long Ju had already grabbed his chin and, with a snap, broke his neck. As a result, the last expression Zhang Liang left in the world was actually a smile.
This made Ying Yuan feel somewhat weird.
Wang Li looked at this scene and was slightly surprised.
Feeling that he had become closer to Ying Yuan, the Prince Regent, by facing the enemy head-on, he came over and asked in a low voice.
"Sir, why don't you try to recruit one or two?"
"Zhang Liangsu has a good reputation. If we can recruit him, wouldn't that be making good use of the waste?"
Ying Yuan looked at Wang Li in surprise.
"What are you thinking, my Captain Wang!"
"This person is a die-hard anti-Qin person. The greater his ability, the greater the harm!"
"Why would I bother finding myself someone who might stab Daqin at any time?"
Wang Li was speechless after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he was indeed an idiot.
Ying Yuan didn't care about him anymore and arranged for people to clean up the battlefield. Only then did he turn around and look at Xiao He and smiled.
"Mr. Xiao, you just arrived in Xianyang and saw such a scene. I wonder what you think!"
Xiao He is Xiao He, although he does not have Ying Yuan's familiar skills of standing with his hands behind his back and smiling in the face of fighting.
But when he suddenly faced this bloody scene, he didn't seem to be frightened.
Facing Ying Yuan's question, Xiao He also smiled casually.
"To reply to your question, sir, I have no other feelings, except that I feel that the court meetings these days are probably very lively!"
Ying Yuan laughed when he heard this and thought to himself.
"This Xiao He is really a man of great talent, wonderful!"
"I haven't even thought about what will happen at the court meeting yet, but I'm already thinking about this!"
'Well, that's right, this is definitely a top-notch tool man!'
"Finally I have my own people. It's great!"
When Ying Yuan thought about how he would be able to directly throw the countless official duties that were burdening him onto Xiao He in the future, he suddenly felt that Xiao He looked even more pleasing to the eye.
"Mr. Xiao, although I will leave the court and go out of the city to welcome you today, I will not have any red silk or dance for you."
"Now, the bandit chieftain surrenders with blood all over the ground. Although it has a bit more evil aura, it is still a welcome gift!"
"I just wonder if Mr. Xiao is willing to go with me on this trip!"
I have to say that when it comes to showing off, Young Master Ying Yuan is definitely quite accomplished.
It was clearly a group of assassins who jumped out and caught him off guard, but facing this situation, he was able to describe the scene in an exceptionally heroic way.
Not to mention Xiao He, even Wang Li, who was used to seeing fighting and life and death, felt a surge of blood rushing to his head.
At this moment, Xiao He recalled his own desolation and depression in Pei County, and compared it with Ying Yuan who had sent people to greet him from afar, and who had suspended the court today to welcome him.
Frankly speaking, even if we are polite and courteous to others, we cannot do this.
This is what Xiao He thrives on.
Thinking of this, Xiao He suddenly straightened his chest, smiled, and shouted loudly.
"I am willing to die for your Highness!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
But just a moment later, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying all shouted in unison.
"I am willing to die for your Highness!"
After shouting three times, even Wang Li and other Black Dragon Guards could not help but shout as well.
For a moment, even though there were corpses everywhere, everyone was in high spirits.
