Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 37
In a secluded main room in the village, under the dim light, an old man with white hair and beard sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly he opened his eyes because the door was pushed open.

This is a thin-faced man in a green robe, who looks to be in his early thirties.The black hair tied casually with a red ribbon on the blue forehead looks very casual.

It's just that the deep scars on his face made him look a bit hideous.

There was a faint hostility between his brows, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

"You're looking for me to kill again." The man walked up to the old man and said in a cold tone.

"Go and kill Wei Ying."

The old man's face did not change in any way, but the tone of an order that could not be refused was revealed in the old voice.

A trace of anger appeared on the man's face, but it quickly dissipated.

.........

By the small lake outside the village, an elegant woman was nestled in the arms of the man, her belly swelled slightly, as if she was pregnant.

"I don't want you to kill people again." The woman whispered, her expression was full of worry.

There was a trace of tenderness on the sullen face of the man in Tsing Yi, he stroked the woman's cheek, and shook his head lightly.

"I'll be fine, wait for me to come back."

There was a lot of tenderness in his cold deep pupils.

His palms covered the woman's swollen belly, and a trace of warmth permeated his heart.

This is his child, and he will use all his strength to protect this child.

The man's gaze became firm.

.........

The night was dark, the cool breeze was blowing, the shadows of the trees were whirling, and occasionally there were a few insects chirping, and the slightly cold night wind carried a chill.

But the mansion in front of him was brightly lit and full of people.As a noble family, servants and guards are naturally indispensable in the mansion.

The man dressed in black hides on the path of the mansion, shuttles through the courtyard, stops from time to time, as if he is observing something.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he saw something.He moved lightly and approached a corner.

Two patrolling guards were passing by. The man's eyes burst out with brilliance, and the sword in his hand suddenly swung out.

Blood splattered, and the two guards fell in response, not even having time to scream.

The man held the blood-dripping sword and left in another direction.

He floated in this silent night like a ghost, constantly harvesting life.

When the last patrolling guard died by his sword, the figure of the man stepped out of the shadows.

He wiped the blood-stained sword and headed towards another courtyard.

He stopped in front of a vermilion carved door, and gently pushed the door open.

Although the furnishing inside the house is not luxurious, every furnishing is extremely elegant, simple yet elegant.

There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the air.

In the main seat of the room sat a slender man, dressed in a black gown, with a handsome face.

Holding a booklet in his hand, his eyes were lowered, and he was concentrating on it, as if he hadn't noticed that the door was pushed open at all.

It wasn't until the man in black stepped into the door and drew the long sword out of its sheath in his hand that the people in the room slowly raised their heads, took a look and said, "Who are you?
"Do you know the consequences of breaking into this place?"

In the event of such a change, this person was calm and did not panic at all.

His words were full of tone and volume.

"Your people have been killed by me, don't expect anyone to come."

The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth curled up slightly, pulling out a faint smile, and the long sword in his hand swung again, and the silver-white sword light reflected by the blade reflected on his face, adding a sense of coldness.

"It's time to send you on your way." While the man in black was speaking, the man had already arrived in front of the man, stabbing out with a sword.

This sword was as fast as lightning, as fast as thunder, and it penetrated the chest of the man in black in an instant.

A stream of bright red blood sprayed out, and the man in the black gown clutched his chest, staring at the man in black in astonishment, his eyes gradually dimmed, his body limply fell backwards, and fell to the ground with a bang.

One hit kills, clean and tidy.

……

The next day, the news of the assassination of Wei Ying, General Longxiang of the Wei State, spread throughout the Wei State.There was an uproar in the state of Wei.

Wei Ying's status is unusual, not only as a general of the Wei State, but also as a member of the Wei State's clan, with a respected status, in charge of the military and horse power in Hedong, and is one of the military and political cores of the entire Wei State.

Above the main hall of the palace, there was a solemn and solemn scene.Civil and military officials gathered together with solemn expressions.

Wei Wangyu sat on the king, his face was ashen, and he looked at the officials below with cold eyes.

"The dignified general, who has never been buried in the battlefield, but was stabbed by a traitor, is so unscrupulous, he deceives me that there is no one in Wei!" Wei Wang said sternly with a gloomy face.

"What do you have to say about this matter?"

When the ministers heard the words, they looked at each other, but no one dared to answer.

"Is there no one left in such a big court?" Wei Wang's voice suddenly rose, and a terrifying power burst out of his eyes.

"General Wei Ying previously conquered Qin, taking all of Qin's Tao County, and made great contributions. Now that he is assassinated, I think it was done by Qin assassins. There are also rumors that..."

A Wei Chen stood up and walked out, and looked at the person who was at the head of the group of officials.

That man was none other than Lord Xinling who defeated Qin in the First Battle of Hewai, regained the lost land in Kanto, and was worshiped as the prime minister.

Lord Xinling's face was serious, he didn't speak, he just stood quietly, waiting for everyone to speak.

"Bold!" Wei Wangyu slapped the throne and shouted violently.

All the ministers were silent like cicadas, lowering their heads and not daring to make another sound.

Wei Wang's move also set the tone for this matter.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is an assassination organization called Luo Wang in Qin State. All the ministers of Humerus from the six countries are on their assassination list.

General Wei Ying is the general of our Wei State, and the Qin people naturally want to get rid of him as soon as possible.The veteran thought it must be the Qin people. "

Seeing this situation, Da Sikong Wei Yong stepped forward and said.

"Doctor Jun, is the snare really true? Could it be that my country, Wei, has been infiltrated by spies?" King Wei asked in a deep voice with his eyes fixed.

"As far as I know, there is indeed an organization called Luowang." Jun Boyu came out and said, clasping his hands.

"No matter what, within ten days, the assassin must be captured, regardless of life or death." King Wei's voice was low and strict.

"In addition, Zuo Zhu, the leader of the imperial army, is General Zhenwu, who is in charge of the Hedong Army." King Wei said in a deep voice, looking at the ministers below.

"I will live up to the king's order." A tall man bowed to accept the order and said loudly.

"This is the end of today's court meeting." King Wei finished speaking in a deep voice, got up and left the hall.

All the ministers promised, knelt down on the ground one after another, and sent Wei Wang off respectfully.

After King Wei left, all the ministers got up one after another and left on their own.

Lord Xinling didn't say a word, his situation is not good.

There had been rumors that he and Wei Ying were at odds in Daliang City before, and now that something like this happened again, I'm afraid it would cause even bigger disturbances.
