Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 50 The nobles counterattack, Qin Mu is assassinated

Qin Mu still doesn't know what happened in the court hall.

During the day, he went to the Xianyang government office, and accompanied by Xue Zhi, he brought a group of landlords and wealthy businessmen out of prison.

After Nei Shi was beheaded, the landlords and wealthy businessmen lost their backing and became much more well-behaved.

The negotiation between Qin Mu and them also went very smoothly.

Qin Mu didn't want food.

After all, the famine is coming, and soon the government will use various means to lower the price of these grains, and then they will be prostituted by the state treasury for a year.

Qin Mu directly pretended that all the food was bought by the landlords and wealthy businessmen, and only paid for it now.

You don’t charge too much for each shi of grain, and you can just buy it at double the market price, which should be regarded as compensation for the robbery.

Fortunately, the landlords and wealthy businessmen were imprisoned and did not know that the government was planning to suppress food prices.

After calculation, they believe that buying all the grain at twice the market price still leaves about [-]% of the profit.

What's more, their life and death are almost in Qin Mu's hands now, so they agreed happily.

The 1 taels of gold turned into 30 taels in less than a week, and Qin Mu was very satisfied.

So he slept soundly.

I didn't realize that a figure was crawling in through the half-open window...

After the figure entered the room, without any hesitation, he touched the bed directly.

Although the room was dark, the man seemed to be able to see things, without any hindrance in his movements.

Soon, the man came to the bed.

He lifted the curtain of the bed, took out a long sword from the black cloth behind him, and stabbed forward!

"Ding!"

A crisp sound came from the direction of the sword tip.

The assassin retreated decisively after a failed blow, and with his vision beyond ordinary people, he saw the person blocking him.

It was a man wrapped in black clothes.

The man in black held a dagger in his hand. Obviously, this dagger was used to intercept the assassin's fatal blow just now.

When the assassin saw the dagger in the hands of the man in black, his pupils shrank slightly.

That weird style...

Shadow Guard!

What is the identity of the person the lord wants to assassinate...

Is it a member of the royal family?
It must be, if it is not a member of the royal family, how can there be a shadow guard to protect it?
The assassin pretended to retreat, and while the shadow guard was chasing him, he actually stepped forward and was pierced by the shadow guard's dagger in the chest, stabbing the long sword in his hand viciously at Qin Mu who was on the bed!

This kind of life-for-life play caught the shadow guard off guard.

Seeing that the assassin's long sword was about to approach the bed, he stabbed Qin Mu right through!
"Bang"!
The door of the bedroom was smashed by a huge black shadow, Dian Wei heard the fighting in the room, and rushed in directly!

Dian Wei dashed extremely fast, almost reaching the bed in the blink of an eye.

He was afraid that the rescue would not be urgent, so he rushed forward and threw the assassin to the ground.

Then, he raised his fist high and smashed it down!
The assassin was stabbed by the shadow guard before, and Dian Wei's fist hit the center of the mouth, and he lost his breath.

Dian Wei's eyes were burning, he stared at the shadow guard closely, his eyes were like a tiger that chooses to eat someone.

The shadow guard felt a chill down his spine from being stared at, and quickly said, "I was ordered to protect your lord!"

Dian Wei also recognized that this person seemed to be one of the guards of the lord's father.

He didn't speak, and turned to go to the bed to check Qin Mu's safety.

He did not light a candle.

There must be assassins out there, and lighting candles is almost like pointing out the target for the assassins.

Dian Wei patted the bedding on the bed, it was empty!
His heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to rush out.

At this moment, Qin Mu's voice came from the corner of the bed: "Dian Wei?"

Dian Wei was overjoyed, and said in a low voice, "Master, it's me! Are you not injured?"

Qin Mu said in a low voice, "I'm fine. The assassin's first strike failed, and I was awakened, so I hid."

"You, and the guard, take off your shoes so you can walk quietly. We slipped out through the door."

Dian Wei and the shadow guard nodded at the same time, they took off their shoes, one behind the other, guarding Qin Mu in the middle, and walked towards the door.

It's just that the assassins seem to have expected this a long time ago.

When Dian Wei walked out of the door, countless crossbow arrows suddenly shot through the air!

Dian Wei pushed Qin Mu back, and he waved his long sword at the door to block it!

It wasn't that he was inflated, but that he knew that if he dodged, those crossbow arrows might hit Qin Mu!

"puff".

The crossbow arrow pierced into the flesh and made a dull sound.

Qin Mu was inside the house, his hands clenched into fists.

"One, two, three...thirteen!"

Qin Mu was counting, the assassins fired a volley, and Dian Wei was hit by thirteen arrows!
But Dian Wei didn't even groan!
Qin Mu's eyes are about to burst, no matter who it is, the mastermind behind the scenes must pay the price!

After the first round of salvo, the shadow guard pulled Dian Wei into the room.

He pushed Qin Mu into Dian Wei's arms almost roughly: "You protect him, I'll kill all the assassins!"

"Bah!" Dian Wei spat out a mouthful of blood, tilted his head and said, "There are at least fifty killers with crossbows outside, and if you go out, you will be sent to death."

The voice of the shadow guard couldn't hear sadness and happiness: .

"You should still care about yourself. Can you still protect your lord in this way?"

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I have no problem at all. If there are fifty assassins, I will be fine!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door.

The shadow guard's complexion changed: "Crow's Mouth! Hide it yourself!"

Dian Wei spat out another mouthful of blood and asked, "My lord, can you hide it?"

Qin Mu responded calmly: "Don't worry, you can go."

Dian Wei scolded his mother, and rushed out after the shadow guard.

In the darkness, Qin Mu didn't know how long it had passed.

When the fighting outside stopped, he walked out of the study.

Through the dim starlight, he saw that the yard was full of corpses, and the loess had turned dark red.

Dian Wei was lying on a hill piled up with corpses, panting heavily.

And the shadow guard has disappeared.

Qin Palace.

Zu Long finished handling today's government affairs, stretched his waist, and prepared to go to rest.

Just as he was about to leave, a bloody smell suddenly entered his nose.

Then, there was a commotion at the palace gate.

Shadow Guard Thirteen dragged one leg and limped in, followed by a few young eunuchs who couldn't stop him.

As soon as Zi Shisan saw Zulong, he knelt down and bowed his head: "Your Majesty, Qin Mu was assassinated, and hundreds of assassins were killed, and they died outside the palace gate!"

After speaking, he fainted.

Zulong's expression remained unchanged, and he quietly sat back on the dragon chair.

As the candle flickered, Zulong issued orders one by one.

"Order Zhang Han to take five hundred guards from Yuehu Camp to protect Qin Mu."

"Transfer the living mouth to the dragon guard for interrogation."

"Order Young Master Xian to mobilize the imperial army to seal the gate of Xianyang."

"Order Mr. Gao to bring thousand-year-old ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus and other medicines to Qin Mu."

The eunuch was calm, and delivered Zulong's orders in an orderly manner.

There are dozens of government orders, but none of them are handed over to the ministers of the court!
The eunuchs knew that the big cleansing was coming!
