...

That night, when it was almost midnight, thirty miles west of the city, the emperor's headquarters was extremely quiet. In the darkness, only a few candles were seen shaking. The patrolling imperial guards were not dense. They seemed calm on the outside, but in fact, thousands of imperial guards and Xuanwu Guards had already been fully armed and ambushed among the grass and trees.

"Then Chen Xu is probably just a witch who is confusing the public. Your Majesty should take a break earlier to avoid being unwell tomorrow!"

In the tent of the tent, only two not-so-bright oil candles were lit. In addition to the emperor, Li Si and Wang Ben and other ministers who accompanied the tour were all there. The Grandpa Zhao Gao stood up and said softly.

"It's still early, wait!" Qin Shihuang said expressionlessly on the big chair covered with bear skin.

"Wang Wu, have you gotten the information wrong?" Chen Xu, Wang Wuyu Wuya and others stood on the west gate of Wancheng. Looking at the direction of the emperor's headquarters, Chen Xu turned his head anxiously and asked.

Since he learned that Qin Shihuang was coming to Nanyang for a tour, Chen Xu asked Wang Wu to inquire about the movement of the copper and iron merchant Ran Chi. After several days of inquiry, he found that Ran Chi had some unusual behavior, because in addition to the huge copper and iron workshop in the hill, there were more than a dozen large and small workshops in the workshop group on the river bank. The staff in these workshops totaled more than a thousand people. These workshops have been transporting goods out recently. At the same time, a large number of work slaves and helpers also left quietly. Wang Jian's secret guards followed him to investigate several times and found that these people and goods were hidden in a small hill west of the city, and this hill was only a few miles away from the headquarters where the emperor was stationed.

"It should be true. These people are sneaking and hidden in the mountains for several days and never came out. If they don't act tonight, the emperor will set off the camp and start the journey tomorrow morning. The imperial guards and Xuanwu Guards are all fast horses, and they can't catch up even if they want to!" Wang Wu said with a serious expression.

"My benefactor, don't worry, ugly times are the most trapped time for human souls. Ran Chi is probably waiting for the opportunity!" Yu Wuya said with an iron sword in his arms and a lollipop in his mouth.

"It seems that Ran Chi is not an ordinary person, and he must have someone who is proficient in military tactics!" Wang San said with a frown.

"Then keep waiting!" Chen Xu sighed helplessly.

Today, he reminded Qin Shihuang that bandits might attack him in the middle of the night, and he was talking about Ran Chi.

Because Ran Chi, Chen Ping and Ying Bu colluded with each other, they must be ill-behaved. Moreover, they were all involved in Qin Shihuang's several tours and were attacked by the rebellious forces of the six countries along the way, so it was completely reasonable for Ran Chi to seize this opportunity to kill Qin Shihuang.

However, in such an era where communication basically relies on roar, it is definitely not easy to coordinate to attack Qin Shihuang's headquarters just right, because at night, not only are there many wild animals such as tigers and wolves in the wilderness, but there are also wild mountains and fields everywhere, and the movement is extremely difficult, and it is pitch black in the middle of the night, and I dare not light a torch. If I do not have sufficient preparations to attack the camp, it is unreliable.

It was nearly an hour before this. Chen Xu's eyes were extremely dry, his upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, and his yawns were one after another. Just when he felt that the gangster was sleeping, suddenly there was a faint sound of people shouting and neighing outside the east of the city. At the same time, a ball of fire began to appear, and flames rose into the air along the dense copper and iron workshops along the river bank. It seemed that many copper and iron workshops had caught fire at the same time.

Damn! Chen Xu was shocked and was also a little dazed in an instant. How could it be that the east of the city was working? Shouldn't it be the night attack on the emperor's headquarters? But the emperor was stationed in the west of the city at this time.

"Haha, Wang San is right. Ran Chi's subordinates are indeed proficient in military tactics. This is a trick to attack the east and west!" Yu Wuya's spirit suddenly became excited.

"Woo~Woo~~" Accompanied by a few low and long horns, countless torches were suddenly lit in a place five miles away from the east of the city, and at the same time, there were roars after another. People shouted that thousands of people seemed to gather in the neighing of the horse, and soon turned into several long torches and headed quickly towards the workshop ignited by the flames.

"This is a person from the county magistrate's office!" Wang Wu said.

Soon, after these long torches entered the area where the workshop gathered, there seemed to be a sound of jingling and metal fighting in the roar, and there were also screams after screams.

It was too far away to see, but Chen Xu could also guess that it was a state of fighting with people on their backs and horses. Moreover, because it was a quiet late night, the sound of fire and neighing was particularly clear, and the sound of shouting and killing could probably travel dozens of miles away.

The sudden movement suddenly woke everyone in Wancheng. Lights were lit one after another in all the houses in the city, and a large number of people were wearing clothes and rushed to the streets. They were panicked and didn't know what was happening. The lights were also lit in the scattered villages outside the city, and the sound of dog barking came one after another. The noise and panic spread from all directions like a plague. The entire Wancheng area quickly became extremely panicked in a radius of hundreds of miles.

This movement quickly alarmed the emperor's headquarters thirty miles west of the city.

"Your Majesty, there is movement in the east of Wancheng!" A Xuanwu Guard knelt on his knees into the big bill.

"Can the Detective come back!" Qin Shihuang asked with a majestic expression.

"I haven't done it yet!"

"Don't move rashly!"

"Here~"

Another half an hour passed when the Xuanwu Guard withdrew from the tent. With the sound of horse hooves in the night, a Xuanwu Guard rushed into the tent soon. "Reported that a labor slave riot occurred in the gathering place of copper and iron merchants in the east of Wancheng. The county magistrate Gao Yong was already prepared and was leading the city guards to fight!"

"Hu~" Li Si and a group of civil servants in the big tent breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I think the news about Chen Xu must have known about the county magistrate Gao Yong, but in order not to disturb Your Majesty, he did not report it. Now it is almost ugly, please rest!" Li Si stood up and persuaded.

"Marquis Tongwu, what do you think about this?" Qin Shihuang's eyes fell on Wang Ben.

"Your Majesty, I think Chen Xu is not a person who speaks nonsense. Since he has clearly reminded Your Majesty, he must have great confidence. If he guessed well, the bandits must have used the strategy of vocalizing east and attacking west!" Wang Ben stood up and said with his fists.

"How to deal with it?" Qin Shihuang nodded and asked.

"Pretending to be self-disciplined, luring the enemy in, closing the door to catch the thieves, but this plan may be unfavorable to Your Majesty's safety. It is best to wait for the labor until dawn, and then make arrangements to arrest the bandits after Gao Yong arrives!" Wang Ben said.

"How can a mere bandits make me retreat? I will pass on my orders. All the guards and imperial guards are under the command of Tongwu Hou. I will capture the bandit leader tonight and behead his head to this parade and sacrifice the flag!" Qin Shihuang slapped his chair and stood up.

"Here!" There were countless sounds of response inside and outside the tent. After Wang Ben gave a tribute, he stepped out of the tent. Soon the sound of horn bamboo whistles sounded outside. Countless imperial guards appeared in the military tent and grass. Torches were lit one by one, some people ran back and forth, and there were also teams of people holding torches and rushing out of the tent eastward. The sound of people shouting and neighing horses came one after another, and the entire tent was in chaos in an instant.

"Haha, Zhao Zheng's son finally got the trap!"

A few people gathered in a forest two miles away from the tower. With the faint starlight, one of the tall men was Ran Chi-kun, the owner of the copper and iron yard.

Ran Chin let out a gritted smile and grabbed a squinox and said, "Come out, I will kill Zhao Zheng's dog head tonight!"

A big man in his thirties next to him, holding Ran Chi's shoulders, snatched the halberd from his hand and said: "Brother is here, and I and my men will go to take Zhao Zheng's life together. If it succeeds, my brother will come and if it fails, he will cover us for retreat."

"Mr. Ran, Sanlang is right. The late night attack on the camp is not as good as the more people. You are waiting here!" A man next to him whispered.

Ran Chin hesitated a little and nodded: "Be careful about everything. If you find that you cannot succeed, retreat as soon as possible. Let's hide in Funiu Mountain together before making plans!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ran, Zhao Zhengyuan is in chaos, so it's not time to go out~" A man shouted in the darkness,

"Here~" countless voices sounded in the dark, and then hundreds of people holding bows, arrows, swords and guns rushed towards the headquarters like wolves.

"Kill~" Soon, the group of people were less than two hundred meters away from the gear. Accompanied by roars and the sound of arrows flying, several imperial guards scattered among the thorns in the grass suddenly let out a few screams and fell down. As a result of the sudden change, the gear station became even more panicked, and thousands of soldiers and horses were in chaos.

Among the dense bandits, a tall man roared, holding a long halberd in his hand, rushing over a carriage like a tiger, and then rushed into the shaft. The long halberd in his hand danced like a windmill, instantly knocking out several imperial guards who rushed up, and a strong smell of blood was emitted from the blood splatter.

"The thief is killed!" An imperial guard commander came on horseback with a big sword in his hand.

"Dang~~" Accompanied by a violent impact, the sword and the long halberd collided with each other and burst out with a bright spark in the darkness. The big man's body paused slightly, but the imperial guards riding on the horse flew off from the horse with a muffled groan. The big man's hand stabbed forward and stabbed forward. Before the commander fell to the ground, the long halberd was stabbed into the waist and abdomen. The big man twisted his arms, and the long halberd, which was as thick as an arm, suddenly turned. The lieutenant who was stabbed screamed and was chopped into two pieces and fell down.

"Haha, Xuanwu Imperial Guard is nothing more than Er! Zhao Zheng, please come here!"

The big man laughed, and the long halberd in his hand thorns left and right, headed straight for the central tent.

"Wang is here to meet you!" Wang Ben held a big sword in his hand to block the big man, and dozens of imperial guards behind him were holding burning torches in their hands.

"Wang Jian?" The man was slightly stunned, and he didn't see clearly in the night.

"That's my father, and it's Wang Ben, a man from Tongwu!
