Chapter 95 Discussion
"Oh!"
Zhao Gao gently shook his head and said, "Death is not frightening; what is frightening is losing yourself. If you can't even control yourself, how can you control others?"
At this moment, Weng Zungu did not speak, but looked at Zhao Gao with a mocking gaze.
Zhao Gao stopped speaking and simply stood there quietly, watching the other man's life slip away.
"Take him back."
"He'll be very useful in the future!"
His face was expressionless, as if everything was under his control.
They fell into the hands of the snare.
Death... is a luxury!
The blood looked particularly alluring under the moonlight, while Zhao Gao's blood-stained robe appeared even more vivid and striking.
The three princesses were startled by the sudden, fiery red palm strike from Weng Zun Gu.
They stood close together, their faces pale, but their expressions remained calm.
Clearly, as princesses of a direct descendant of a dynasty, they had not forgotten their identity and responsibilities.
After a brief moment of panic, they straightened their backs and faced Zhao Gao, who was coming towards them.
Zhao Gao slowly walked towards the three princesses, his steps light and elegant, as if he were performing a magnificent dance.
"Your Highnesses, the Luo Wang Zhao Gao has failed in his duty, allowing these villains to disrupt the marriage procession of the three princesses."
"Please forgive us, Your Highnesses."
He bowed deeply, clasped his hands together, and said with his head bowed.
"So, it's Zhao Gao from the Luo Wang organization, isn't it?"
"Who are these assassins?"
The three princesses looked at each other, and finally the second princess, Si Luoying, who had always been in charge among the three, stepped forward and slowly spoke.
Before setting off, the three princesses of the Si family would naturally make sure to thoroughly understand Su Ye, the heir of the Prince of Yun, with whom they were to be married.
Therefore, the Luo Wang organization, which suddenly appeared under Su Ye's command recently and stirred up a bloody storm in the Jianghu of the Great Qian Dynasty, is a matter of great concern.
The three of them were naturally familiar with each other.
"These assassins were naturally sent by certain ministers in the court or by those rats in the shadows of the Great Qian Dynasty."
"They were dissatisfied with His Majesty's arrangements, believing that the marriage of the three princesses would threaten their interests."
"Taking action...isn't that perfectly reasonable?"
Zhao Gao raised his head slightly, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashing in his eyes, and said softly.
"Then, how did Lord Zhao learn of this assassination attempt?"
The Second Princess, Si Luoshi, who was standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought before asking a question.
"The three princesses are the future and hope of the Great Qian Dynasty, and are also the Emperor's most beloved daughters."
"She is also the one to whom my Lord of Cangzhou will be married this time."
"Zhao Gao naturally cannot allow these villains to harm the three princesses, nor can he allow their conspiracy to succeed."
Zhao Gao bowed, his expression unchanged.
"Furthermore, starting from the moment the three princesses' procession passed through Dongning Pass."
"The Luo Wang (a secret police organization) launched a full-scale search in Cangzhou, and Zhao Gao also identified several suitable locations for an ambush at the same time."
"That's why we were able to arrive in time."
Zhao Gao lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.
"So, what are your plans next, Lord Zhao? We can't just stay here forever, can we?"
The sixth princess, Si Luoqing, frowned and asked in confusion.
"Please rest assured, Your Highnesses, the Luo Wang will do everything in its power to protect the safety of the three princesses."
"We have roughly tracked down the identities and motives of these criminals."
"If you dare to plot an attack in my Cangzhou, the Luo Wang will definitely take the necessary measures to cleanse the entire Cangzhou to ensure the smooth progress of the marriage of the three princesses."
Zhao Gao raised his head, looked firmly at the three princesses, and said in a deep voice.
The three princesses exchanged glances, their hearts filled with emotion.
In this perilous era, even the Jingye Division of the Great Qian Dynasty wouldn't dare to say something like purging an entire prefecture.
Each state has numerous martial arts sects, with disciples and former officials everywhere; it can be said that a change in one part can affect the whole.
But Luo Wang can be mentioned so easily.
It's easy to imagine just how strong their control over the entire Cangzhou martial arts world is!
"Then we will trouble Lord Zhao."
Si Luoying shook her head, took a deep breath, and said to Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao bowed again and said, "I will do my utmost to live up to Her Highness's expectations."
Under the moonlight, Zhao Gao's figure gradually disappeared into the night.
After Zhao Gao left, the three princesses, having digested the fact that Luo Wang could easily cleanse an entire province, couldn't help but exchange glances, their eyes revealing deep worry and emotion.
"The strength of the Luo Wang under the command of this Prince Yun is truly beyond our expectations."
"I'm afraid that the net under the command of our future husband will pose a huge threat to our Great Qian Dynasty and the imperial family in the future."
The Second Princess Si Luoying watched as the Six Sword Slaves and the others, who were carrying Weng Zun Gu away, sighed and said to her two younger sisters beside her.
"I feel the same way. We need to get a general idea of the true strength and scope of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven)."
The fourth princess, Si Luoshi, nodded in agreement.
"We cannot only see the strength of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), but also their relationship with other martial arts sects."
"The Luo Wang's rampage in the martial arts world this time will likely incite a united front of hatred among the martial arts forces."
"If the Great Qian Dynasty were to form an alliance with Cang and Yun provinces, it could escalate conflicts with other forces and even trigger large-scale conflicts in the martial arts world."
As a disciple of the leader of the Taoist sect, a leading force in the martial arts world, Si Luoqing had a clearer understanding of the current situation in the Great Qian martial arts world and offered this reminder.
"Sigh... Now the three of us are also caught in a bind."
"We can only take it one step at a time."
As the three of them felt lost about the future of the Great Qian Dynasty, Si Luoying sighed and then waved her hand, interrupting her two younger sisters' thoughts.
"Moreover, the three of us are now going to Cangzhou for a marriage alliance."
"From now on, we'll belong to that Prince Yun's people. The stronger the Net is, the better for us, right?"
"After we form a marriage alliance with Cangzhou, and the two states of Daqian and Dongtu confront each other in the future, it's uncertain whether Daqian will still recognize us three princesses."
Seeing that her two younger sisters still looked worried, Si Luoying comforted them optimistically.
Meanwhile, on a cliff not far from the attack site.
As night fell, a cold moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the land of Cangzhou.
Zhao Gao, clad in a blood-red robe, stood atop the desolate ruins, his figure appearing exceptionally effeminate and eerie in the moonlight.
A gentle breeze swept by, causing the blood-red robe to flutter in the wind, like a burning flame illuminating the dark world.
Zhao Gao's eyes were deep and cold as he stared at the distant battlefield, where the Luo Wang organization had secretly dealt with those martial arts figures.
Clearly, when the marriage alliance was attacked, the assassins from the Luo Wang organization led by Zhao Gao were not idle either.
Looking at the traces in the distance, Zhao Gao's lips curled into a cold smile, as if mocking those overconfident challengers.
He turned around to face a group of elite soldiers dressed in black robes behind him. Their faces were shrouded in darkness, revealing only pairs of cold eyes.
"Gentlemen, I believe you are all aware of what happened tonight."
Zhao Gao's voice was hoarse and deep, yet carried an undeniable air of authority: "Those江湖人士 (jianghu figures) dare to act like this in Cangzhou! They are simply audacious!"
The black-robed subordinates responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"
Their voices were filled with anger and murderous intent, clearly showing that they, like Zhao Gao, harbored strong hostility towards the attack.
Zhao Gao raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.
"It seems that some people in Cangzhou are not satisfied with the previous massacre."
"Then... let's wipe out all the martial arts forces in Cangzhou once again!"
He took a deep breath, a cruel glint in his eyes.
"Our lord has just launched a campaign against Qizhou, and this incident has occurred right under our noses in Cangzhou."
"I hope... that this will be completely prevented from happening again until the Lord returns!"
"These martial arts forces in Cangzhou must submit to us!"
Zhao Gao waved his hand to quiet everyone down, and then continued speaking.
