Chapter 68 Double Oppression

"Zongzheng, why didn't you see the figure of the old Censor Wang? This trip to Xingyang is particularly caring for the Prime Minister." Yan Yi poked out half of his body through the narrow wall and asked Chen Di below.

Yan Yi's suspicion became increasingly serious. These days, he had heard rumors from people from the east that the old censor Wang Ming was killed in Xingyang, and it was said that he died very much. Now, if there were some flaws in Chen Di's words, Yan Yi would immediately ask the crossbowman to set up the crossbow to stop this suspicious team.

Yan Yi knew about the dispute between internal factions. For Yan, Yan Yi, who was dependent on Zhao Gao's group, did not need to cater to Chen Di, a royal family without power. What he had to do was to completely follow Zhao Gao's wishes and do everything explained to Xianyang.

"Wang Ming is dead, his body is about to be in the car behind him. Yan Duwei needs to check it out himself." Chen Di said with a cold face and expressionless face.

Yan Yi's words were filled with distrust of Chen Di. A mere old guard guard dared to suppress him under Zhao Gao's name. Chen Di couldn't help feeling depressed. Seeing that in this way, the power of the Xianyang royal family had declined more and more.

"What, Old Censor Wang is dead, why haven't you reported to the Prime Minister? If you blame him, you can afford it." Yan Yi asked anxiously.

Wang Ming is Zhao Gao's confidant. Yan Le once told Yan Yi that now, the news of Wang Ming's death has been confirmed, but Chen Di did not report it in time. If Prime Minister Zhao Gao checked it, Yan Yi would also be charged with not reporting it.

"Diet under the peony flowers, you will be romantic even if you are a ghost. Yan Duwei is not thinking about being a companion with Wang Ming, right?" Chen Di's face was depressed and thought to himself with disdain.

Wang Ming did something ridiculous, it would be fine if he died, but could he still ask others to praise him? Yan Yi is also an old man, why is he so unintentional?

"Why didn't Zong Zheng answer? If there was no Xuanfu, it would be fine if there was an order from the Prime Minister's Office, but if there was neither, this pass--!" Yan Yi was a little impatient when he saw that Chen Di had not replied for a long time. At the beginning of his tenure, his nephew Yan Le warned him that except for the troops of Prime Minister Zhao Gaoyi, the requests of other forces could be ignored. Chen Di was just a lobbyist of the declining royal family and had no weight in his words.

"Person Yan Du, please wait. I, Zhao Ben, have no one else in this convoy except the eldest princess and her entourage, but also the guards."

Before Yan Yi could finish his words, a short and stunning middle-aged man leaned out of a car in the back of the stagnant convoy.

"It's Zhao County Magistrate, but you're here too." Yan Yi was shocked. The man in front of him was none other than Zhao Ben, the former county magistrate of Sanchuan County. Compared to the position of county magistrate, Zhao Ben served as county magistrate for less than two months, so no wonder Yan Yi called it the wrong title.

Facing Chen Di, Yan Yi could refuse without hesitation because he was not from the same faction, but facing Zhao Ben, Yan Yi could not be hard. Zhao Ben is the nephew of Prime Minister Zhao Gao, a key figure arranged by the Zhao clan in the Guandong area, and also holds the military power of Sanchuan County. This seems to have the same background as Yan Yi, and they are both important external forces of the factional family. But in fact, the Zhao and Yan are not the same as each other, and are compared.

Yan's family was just because Yan Le married Zhao Gao's daughter. Compared with Zhao Ben, Yan Le was the only one in the Yan family who could be on par with Zhao Ben. As for Yan Yi, it was completely different from the same level.

"Master Yan, this time on the trip, Zhao is in charge of the secret order of His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister to send His Highness the Princess back to the capital. Please make it convenient!" Zhao Ben said with red eyes, staring at Yan Yi on the pass, word by word. Over the past few days, Zhao Ben, who was under house arrest, has not suffered much harm, and of course, has not been given much preferential treatment. Li Yuan's attitude towards prisoners is very simple. Since he has put down his weapons, it would be too inhumane to destroy the other party from **.

Li Yuan's attitude was too different from the mainstream concepts in the late Qin Dynasty in the Warring States Period. During the conquests between Qin and the six countries, killing prisoners was almost the rule. Bai Qi was like this in the Battle of Changping, and the same was true for Xiang Yu to kill 200,000 surrendered soldiers of Qin.

Zhao Ben was lucky enough to save his life, which made him inexplicably grateful. When Chen Ping exchanged the conditions for allowing Zhao Ben to be free after taking Hangu Pass, Zhao Ben was moved.

"This-!" Yan Yi was in a dilemma. Zhao Ben's identity made him feel stressed. In essence, Yan Yi was not a person who could take responsibility and act decisively. This was also one of the reasons why he had been in the military position of Marquis and Chief Commander in the army.

"Hmph, the eldest princess returned to Xianyang, it was the emperor's permission. Don't you know? If you mistakenly make the Queen Mother's Day in Daqing, you can bear this responsibility."

A delicate shout sounded crisply, and a beautiful girl with a pink face and a pink face popped out.

Ying Yushu's maid Hongxiu looked a little tired and excited. During this period, she had a serious illness and had just recovered after more than twenty days. Therefore, she was as angry as a little pepper and was very angry with Li Yuan, who had let her blow the cold wind at the gate for most of the day. This time, she wanted to let Li Mutou see it. He was not the only one who had a promising figure in the Princess's Mansion.

The appearance of Hongxiu means that Ying Yushu, who has never spoken for a long time, is beginning to be dissatisfied. Although the eldest princess of Qin is rumored to be incompatible with the emperor, the royal family is the royal family after all. A princess who has let go of power and has no threat is not unacceptable to Hu Hai. Once Ying Yushu is taken care of by the emperor, Yan Yi has reason to believe that Ying Yushu may have no choice but to find trouble for him, Yan Duwei, there are definitely many ways to do so.

"Open the door!" Yan Yi waved his hand and gave the order helplessly. Under the double pressure of Zhao Ben and Ying Yushu, Yan Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Go forward!" Li Bi waved his halberd and urged the war horse to move forward. Behind him, one hundred and fifty carefully selected light soldiers followed up quickly.

Chen Ping quietly retreated to the back of the convoy, pulled a scout who was responsible for sending the message and gave a few instructions, and then hid his figure in the middle of the convoy. In his dress as a minor official, it was really inconspicuous in this prominent royal team. No one could have imagined that the soul of the real commander of the convoy was this man wearing a blue cloth official robe and covered with dust on his face.

Yan Yi did not notice Chen Ping. All his attention was spent on Zhao Ben and Ying Yushu. He spent most of the day in the dispute today. It was almost afternoon. Tonight, Ying Yushu's convoy had to stay overnight at Hangu Pass. This was a rare opportunity for Yan Yi.
