Chapter 186 Assassination
"Haha! Li Si's words are exactly what I wanted to say!"
Ying Zheng laughed loudly, "I have already sent spies to infiltrate the Great Sheng and secretly contact those officials and generals who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Great Sheng, promising them great benefits to make them work for my Great Qin."
Lü Buwei added, "Your Majesty is wise!"
"In addition, we should strengthen diplomatic ties with other Xiling dynasties, try to dismantle their support for Dasheng, and isolate the Dasheng dynasty."
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "What Prime Minister Lü said is absolutely right."
"I will immediately dispatch envoys to various countries to persuade them that Qin is the true hegemon of Xiling!"
A chorus of agreement immediately rose in the court.
Ying Zheng waved for his ministers to leave, then stood with his hands behind his back before the dragon throne, looking down at the court officials below.
His eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he could already see the scene of Qin unifying the world.
With Ying Zheng's order, the entire Qin state began to prepare in earnest.
Meanwhile, the situation was quite different within the Great Sheng Dynasty.
The emperor was incompetent and foolish, indulging in wine and women all day long.
Officials are corrupt and form cliques for personal gain; the people suffer greatly and are full of complaints.
The entire dynasty was like a wrecked ship, barely clinging to life amidst the storm.
Ying Zheng and his Qin state were like a fierce tiger, lurking in the shadows.
Waiting for the perfect moment to tear this wrecked ship apart in one fell swoop.
...
Meanwhile, in Yanzhou, the region within the Great Qian Dynasty that is closest to the Western Mausoleum.
It is guarded by Yan Wang Shimo, one of the three kings of different surnames in the Great Qian Dynasty.
Over the years, the Yan King's Mansion has been tirelessly working to quell border troubles for the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, in recent years, the Yan Kings of recent generations have developed disloyal intentions.
However, like the Yunwang Mansion, they had been hiding behind the Yellow Turban Army of the Taiping Sect.
To do bad things secretly.
Waiting for the opportunity.
However, nowadays some people don't want Yanzhou to remain peaceful.
Yanzhou is the largest state in the Central Region of the Great Qian Dynasty that is closest to Xiling.
It is also adjacent to Qianzhou, where the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty is located.
Once the Yan King's Mansion starts an uprising in Yanzhou.
For the Great Qian Dynasty, which currently has most of its fighting force tied up in the battlefields of Luzhou and Wuzhou.
That was absolutely a devastating blow!
...
As night fell, a somber atmosphere permeated the territory of Yanzhou in the Great Qian Dynasty.
The checkpoints closest to Qianzhou in Yanzhou, which are usually heavily guarded, are now in a state of turmoil.
An assassination attempt targeting these garrison generals is quietly unfolding amidst turbulent undercurrents.
The Ironblood Pass was completely silent, broken only by the occasional chatter of patrols and night watchmen.
Jiang Enbo, the general who guarded Tiexue Pass and was known for his bravery and skill in battle, was reviewing military reports alone in his study.
Completely unaware that the shadow of death had already crept in.
A dark figure swept across the city wall like the wind and silently slipped into the pass.
It was none other than Hei Bai Xuan Jian, one of the few top-tier assassins among the current Luo Wang assassins.
He was dressed in black, his face veiled in black, and he held two gleaming longswords in his hands. His movements were light and agile, like a ghost.
Hei Bai Xuan Jian stealthily moved around the pass, avoiding the sight of patrol teams and night watchmen, and quietly arrived outside Jiang Enbo's study.
He pressed himself against the wall, listening to the sounds inside the room. Once he was sure that Jiang Enbo was alone, he slowly drew his short sword.
Inside the study, Jiang Enbo was engrossed in reviewing military reports, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Suddenly, a slight whooshing sound came from behind.
Jiang Enbo raised his head alertly, only to see a cold light flashing towards his throat.
"I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World" - Stunning writing style and a thrilling plot!
Jiang Enbo reacted quickly, sidestepping the fatal blow.
However, Hei Bai Xuan Jian's movement technique was even more unpredictable; he stayed close to Jiang Enbo like a shadow.
The twin swords, like venomous snakes, are always ready to deliver a fatal blow.
Jiang Enbo knew he had encountered a master, so he dared not be careless in the slightest and drew the long sword from the side.
He wielded his long sword with the speed of the wind, deflecting Hei Bai Xuan Jian's fierce attacks.
Inside the study, swords flashed and shadows danced, the two men moved nimbly and their moves were ruthless, each strike aimed straight for the other's vitals.
However, Hei Bai Xuan Jian was a top-tier assassin among the Luo Wang assassins.
How could someone like Jiang Enbo, who hadn't even reached the level of a war god, possibly withstand him?
Although Jiang Enbo was brave and skilled in battle.
However, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position in the face of Hei Bai Xuan Jian's strange movements and vicious moves.
Upon seeing this, Hei Bai Xuan Jian's eyes narrowed, and he instantly intensified his attack, unleashing a torrential downpour of his twin swords.
Jiang Enbo tried his best to resist, but he was already powerless.
Finally, in a moment of carelessness, he was stabbed in the chest by Hei Bai Xuan Jian's sword.
"Pfft!" Jiang Enbo spat out a mouthful of blood, his body falling backward like a kite with a broken string.
"The Net...you actually..."
He stared wide-eyed at the spider tattoo on Hei Bai Xuan Jian's body in disbelief.
Hei Bai Xuan Jian coldly watched Jiang Enbo's fallen figure, his heart unmoved.
He quickly sheathed his two swords, turned, and disappeared into the night.
Meanwhile, the generals guarding other checkpoints also suffered the same attack.
Inside the cliff pass.
Chu Wenji, the garrison general known for his iron will, sat upright in the gate tower, with a military map and a half-finished glass of strong liquor on the table.
A solitary lamp illuminated his resolute face.
Years of battles have etched deep furrows between his brows, but his eyes remain as sharp as a hawk's.
Suddenly, a strange chill swept over him, causing Chu Wenji to shiver involuntarily.
He looked up abruptly and saw six dark figures flashing like ghosts above the gate tower.
At this moment, they were dressed in black, their faces covered with veils, revealing only pairs of cold, piercing eyes.
Their steps were light and agile, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.
However, these six seemingly frail individuals possess a terrifying power capable of destroying everything.
"The Six Sword Slaves of the Luo Net!"
Take a good look at their appearance.
Chu Wenji was startled and instantly drew his sword from his waist.
He was tall and strong, with superb swordsmanship, and had killed countless enemy generals on the battlefield.
However, he dared not be careless in the face of the combined attack of six top assassins who had previously gained fame in the Great Qian territory.
The six sword slaves remained silent, communicating with their eyes and instantly reaching a tacit understanding.
His reaction speed was already considered extremely fast, but it seemed somewhat inadequate in front of the Six Sword Slaves.
Zhen Gang launched the first attack, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Chu Wenji.
His swordsmanship was incredibly fierce, each strike seemingly tearing through the air.
Chu Wenji swung his sword to defend, but felt a tremendous force coming at him, causing him to involuntarily retreat.
Duan Shui followed closely behind. His swordsmanship was unpredictable, sometimes as gentle and tender as a trickle of water, and sometimes as turbulent and powerful as a flood.
Chu Wenji was on the verge of collapse, facing numerous dangers, and he barely managed to withstand the attacks of the two men with all his might.
However, more sword slaves have already launched an attack.
Chaos God's swordsmanship, just like his name, is completely unpredictable, yet it reveals deadly intent at every turn.
The twin sisters, Zhuanpo and Miehun, moved around Chu Wenji like ghosts, their swordsmanship complementing each other.
The demons lurk in the darkness, waiting for their chance to strike, and each attack is impossible to defend against.
