Chapter 670: The Death of Bai Qi
No matter how reluctant Lu Buwei was, since he had accepted this order, as a minister, he would have to complete this order for the king.
What surprised Lu Buwei a little was that the prince asked Lu Buwei to kill Bai Qi without any waiting or trial. It was obvious that the prince no longer wanted Bai Qi to survive for even one day.
This made Lu Buwei feel a little confused. Could it be that the image of "high power and shocking the lord" that he had been intentionally or unintentionally instilled in the prince's heart has really taken root in the prince's heart?
But Lu Buwei didn't dare to ask the prince this question.
In short, finding a way to kill Bai Qi was originally a task given to Lu Buwei by Handan. Now that Lu Buwei has completed it himself, it will be better to ask King Zhao for his contribution in the future?
With this complicated thought, Lu Buwei came to the side hall.
Outside this side hall, hundreds of elite soldiers were guarding, and the leader was Wei Liao.
"I have seen Wu Chengjun!" Wei Liao didn't dare to be negligent when he saw Lu Buwei, and he quickly saluted. After all, everyone knew that Lu Buwei was already soaring into the sky now. When will he not be able to make a relationship?
Lu Buwei smiled slightly and said to Wei Liao: "General Wei Liao doesn't have to be too polite. By the way, that person will be imprisoned in it?"
When Wei Liao heard Lu Buwei's question, he hurriedly said, "That's right, is Wu Chengjun going in to interrogate that person?"
"Interrogation?" Lu Buwei sighed, patted Wei Liao on the shoulder, and walked into the side hall without saying anything, leaving only Wei Liao there watching Lu Buwei's leaving figure, thinking.
Lu Buwei walked into the side hall and found a lonely man sitting in the center of the side hall.
Of course this person is Bai Qi.
Bai Qi obviously heard the footsteps of Lu Buwei, and slowly turned his head, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It's you."
"It's me." Lu Buwei responded, sat down opposite Bai Qi, and looked up and down.
Bai Qi looked a little listless, but it could be seen that there was no injury on his body.
For some reason, when Lu Buwei discovered this, his heart suddenly felt slightly relieved.
Seeing that Bai Qi had no intention of speaking, Lu Buwei took the initiative to speak: "Wu Anjun doesn't seem to want to see me very much."
Bai Qi yelled and shook his head and said, "It's already this time, what's the matter with who it is? I'm just surprised... Does Zichu even have the courage to face me?"
Lu Buwei said seriously: "Wu'an is a minister, how can he call the prince directly?"
Bai Qi laughed and said, "It's this time, so what if I call you directly, so what if I don't call you directly, so what if I don't call you directly, it's just a death."
Lu Buwei was silent for a while and said, "To be honest, Wu'an Junru... shouldn't be colluding with Yi Chen."
After a pause, Lu Buwei couldn't help but continue, "Actually, I don't understand why you are involved in this matter? In fact, with your reputation in the Qin Dynasty, there is no need to do this."
"No need at all?" Bai Qi laughed sarcastically. After a long time, he stopped laughing and said slowly: "You don't understand. If I don't join the side of Zi Chen, then I'll just die. If I join the side of Zi Chen, I still have hope of living. Do you understand?"
Lu Buwei looked at Bai Qi with a look of astonishment on his face.
Lu Buwei suddenly felt that he seemed to have heard some secret thing that he had never heard of.
"What does Wu'an Jun mean?" Lu Buwei couldn't help but ask.
Bai Qi looked at Lu Buwei deeply and suddenly showed a mysterious smile: "No, it's just that I just thought of something."
Lu Buwei nodded silently and did not continue to ask.
A sudden inexplicable silence fell into the hall.
After a while, Bai Qi spoke and broke the silence: "The prince ordered you to come. Do you want you to kill me?"
Lu Buwei's body suddenly shook, and he raised his head and happened to see Bai Qi's very calm gaze.
Lu Buwei opened his mouth and said with some difficulty: "Yes."
For some reason, when Lu Buwei said this, he suddenly felt that Bai Qi, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had put down some heavy burden.
The hall fell into silence again.
An old eunuch quietly brought a jue wine and placed it in front of Bai Qi.
Bai Qi looked at the scarlet and bloody wine in the wine in front of him, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly and asked, "Lu Qing, can I ask you a question?"
Lu Buwei said: "It's okay if you ask Wu'an."
Bai Qi sighed softly and said, "In your eyes, what kind of person am I?"
Lu Buwei obviously did not expect that Bai Qi was asking such a question. He was stunned for a while before saying: "In my heart, Wu Xinjun is an excellent commander who uses troops like a god, and the pride and pride of the old Qin people."
Bai Qi said hee, and for the first time he showed a somewhat proud expression on his face: "Using troops is like a god? What kind of troops are like a god? To put it bluntly, it is just..."
Bai Qi sighed and did not continue.
After a while, Bai Qi asked again: "Lu Qing, what do you think if I died before the Battle of Changping?"
Lu Buwei thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, then I believe that Wu'an Jun must be extremely glorious and buried with glory."
"Yes." Bai Qi nodded and sighed: "I have lived for a few more years and contributed more victory to the Qin Dynasty, allowing the Qin Dynasty to avoid more losses, but I have become a sinner and can only obtain the fate of this glass of poisonous wine. It's so ironic!"
Lu Buwei closed his mouth and did not answer.
The object of Bai Qi's mocking was the royal family of Qin, and this topic must not be answered.
Bai Qi glanced at Lu Buwei, and a strange smile flashed across his face and said, "Lu Qing, I will win today. I guess the reward the prince gave you should be quite good, right?"
Lu Buwei nodded and said honestly: "Wu Chengjun, Xiangbang."
Bai Qi couldn't help but feel more moved after hearing Lu Buwei's answer, and sighed: "How many people dream of being a prime minister, but they fell into your pocket so easily... I have heard of the story of you and the prince in Handan back then. Did you think of this situation at that time?"
Lu Buwei thought for a while and replied, "I thought about it at that time, but... I never thought that this matter would come true."
"Yes," Bai Qi sighed again: "Who knows that Wu'an Jun, who once made countless contributions to the birth and death of the Qin Dynasty, can only have the fate of a glass of poisonous wine?"
Obviously, Bai Qi had a very strong resentment towards the Qin royal family.
Lu Buwei fell into silence again.
Bai Qi glanced at Lu Buwei and smiled, "But he is a cautious person. Maybe someone like Ru can be like a fish in water on the main hall of Xianyang Palace, right?"
Bai Qi slowly stretched out a finger, dipped his hand in the wine, then quickly wrote a word on the ground, then picked up the wine and smiled, "I just realized some things, but I just wanted to understand. It's a pity that I have never feared any opponent on the battlefield, but I can't figure out such a simple truth."
"Stop, stop!" Bai Qi smiled long, raised the wine in his hand, and suddenly sang loudly.
"Why do you say you have no clothes? You are in the same comrade with your son. The king set up his army and repaired my spear. He is in the same vengeance with your son!
Is it true that I have no clothes? I am in the same womb as my son. The king raised his troops and repaired my spear and halberd. I worked with me!
Isn’t you saying that you don’t have clothes? I have the same clothes as you. The king of you builds your army and builds your armor and soldiers. Let me go with you!"
The lyrics are vast and grand, the melody is deep and sad. After the song is over, Bai Qi burst into tears, and the tears wet his gray beard and drip to the ground.
"I, Bai Qi, wish I could meet the wise king in the world!"
Bai Qi roared wildly, and raised his head to drink all the poisonous wine in the wine.
...
Looking at Bai Qi, who had completely lost his breath of life in front of him, Lu Buwei's heart was filled with infinite emotion.
Unexpectedly, this generation of famous generals from the Qin Empire came to an end in this way.
From today on, Bai Qi's era has finally ended.
The six Shandong countries finally forever got rid of this god of killing that once scared the entire eastern land.
For some reason, Lu Buwei looked at Bai Qi's body and suddenly felt a sense of relief for Bai Qi.
Perhaps, this is also the best relief for this Wu'anjun!
Lu Buwei stood up slowly and prepared to go back and report to the prince.
At this moment, Lu Buwei's eyes fell on the ground, on the word Bai Qi had just dipped his hand in wine and wrote on the ground.
Although the wine has begun to dry up, Lu Buwei can still clearly identify it. The word "Zhao" written on it should be!
Zhao?
Zhao!
Lu Buwei suddenly shook his body and seemed to have fallen into the boundless cold hell.
After a long time, a voice rang next to Lu Buwei.
"He's dead?"
Lu Buwei's body shivered. When he came to his senses, he found that the old eunuch who had just presented the poisoned wine had appeared next to him at some point.
Lu Buwei subconsciously glanced at the ground, but fortunately, he had already done it...
Lu Buwei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded silently.
The old eunuch showed a smile and almost lost teeth towards Lu Buwei, and said, "Wu Chengjun, let us do the next thing."
Lu Buwei nodded in a little linen.
The old eunuch invited several eunuchs in and resisted Bai Qi's body.
Lu Buwei followed him out of the hall, and a cold wind blew towards him. The tiny snowflakes in the wind slapped Lu Buwei's face, making him feel involuntarily shocked.
Several eunuchs carried Bai Qi's body and gradually disappeared from Lu Buwei's sight.
Lu Buwei suddenly laughed and turned to the main hall on the other side.
The prince is still waiting for him to go back and report his life.
