Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 143 Quicksand
The information about Yan Lu and Zhang Liang that Li Shiqi detected was relatively superficial, and the information about Yan Lu was especially vague.

The future "Second Master" of Confucianism had already lived a low-key life in his prime. He rarely went out on weekdays. Apart from academic exchanges, outsiders did not even have many opportunities to talk to him.

In the eyes of most people in Xiaoshengxian Village, Zhang Liang's family background is just that of an old Korean who has died, and only a few people know about his 'Xiangguo family'. Li Shiqi's friends don't know about it anyway.

The results of this investigation were of no help to him, but the hall master did not explain this, and even praised him with words.

After dinner, Li Shiqi continued to go back to Xiaoshengxian Village to talk with his friends by candlelight, while Lu Wei wandered alone on the streets of Songhai under the setting sun.

This is a special city, special because the hall master knew in advance that the mirage jointly designed by the Yin Yang Family and the Public Loser Family would be built and set sail here.

In the future, after the Mohist government city is breached, the remaining Mohist disciples will also flee to Songhai, making Songhai a gathering place for anti-Qin elements.

The heroes of Qin, Confucianism, Yin-Yang, Gongshu, Mohism, Taoism, Shushan, the rest of the Xiang family, etc. all gathered together. Lu Wei had to prepare for the farm here more than ten years in advance!
Gonggongtang branches are scattered all over the world, and establishing one in Songhai can only be regarded as a piece of cake.

As for the arrangement of the person in charge here, Li Shiqi, who is inextricably linked to the powerful local Confucianists, is very suitable.

Li Shiqi is a pure Confucian scholar and has no martial arts skills, so he needs to be assigned a martial arts deputy: Ziwu.

When he returned to Daze Mountain, he summoned Ziwu to Qi State in the name of helping him build a suitable scabbard for his sword.

After the scabbard was made, he was sent to Songhai!
Stepping onto the Yinshui Bridge in Songhai City, Lu Wei thought of a preliminary plan while strolling. He was watching the river flowing on the bank of the bridge, and inadvertently glanced at the passers-by. Hall Master Lu was shocked.

Without changing his expression, he took out money from his pocket and bought a piece of steamed cake from a stall on the bridge. He took small pieces and fed them into the river to feed the fish.

Behind him, a white-haired, arrogant and cold man in a black and gold floor-length coat, followed by two subordinates in strange clothes, a man and a woman, walked across the bridge.

'Weizhuang appears in Songhai at this time'

Lu Wei finished feeding the whole piece of steamed cake calmly, clapped his hands and started the breath-holding technique, and followed him from a distance.

'Quisha has become a killer organization. Is this a big order? '

Following Wei Zhuang, Chi Lian, and Bai Feng is undoubtedly a very dangerous behavior.But the master of the hall still did this because he guessed that in addition to killing people, Liusha might also come to see old friends.

In order to verify this conjecture, he did not follow the trio too far. Instead, he turned around on a small road at the edge of the sea and waited on the only way back to Little Saint's Village from the city.

Sure enough, Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, who had been chatting happily with Lu Wei during the day, came down from Xiaoshengxian Manor as if they were strolling casually.

The direction they were traveling in was the same as the Guanhai Cliff where Wei Zhuang and the others went.

"It's so late, Zifang still wants to go to the city?"

Walking out of the alley, Zhang Liang was slightly startled by Lu Wei's sudden appearance, and then he immediately chuckled and handed over his hands: "It turns out to be Hall Master Lu Wei."

"Hall Master Lu seems to be waiting for someone?"

"Yes, I'm going to meet a friend." The master of the hall took a few steps closer and showed the same smile: "Zifang too~"

"Yes, several old friends came to Songhai." The 18 red and red gemstones on the green leather scabbard of the Lingxu Sword in Zhang Liang's hand sparkled in the sunset: "The succession ceremony of Senior Brother brought many old friends. I I need to go and receive one or two.”

"The ovary must be careful, the city is not peaceful right now."

Lu Wei stopped three steps in front of him: "It is said that there is a killer organization, and Songhai has also come recently, making it full of dangers."

"Hallmaster Lu is indeed the most outstanding talent in the farm, and his ability to detect information is really extraordinary." Zhang Liang clasped his fists again: "Liang must pay attention."

The two said goodbye to each other and walked in two directions.

'I have never seen Hall Master Lu in Korea, and I have never heard of a farm base in Xinzheng City. '

'But he seems to know the secrets of quicksand very well, and so does I'

Zhang Liang didn't look back, he just turned his head to look at the setting sun and stepped a few steps faster.

If you let that person wait too long, something bad will often happen.

"You're late."

On the edge of Guanhai Cliff, Wei Zhuang and Chi Lian faced the sea, while Bai Feng stood guard on the top of the tree trunk protruding from the cliff wall.

"It's not too late to meet a new friend on the road."

The sun has set over the sea, leaving only the red light reflecting the last glimmer of brightness today.

Zhang Liang realized that Wei Zhuang was not interested in competing with his sword this time, so he quickly came to stand beside him, facing the late afterglow together.

"You are always punctual. It seems that your new friends today are a bit more unexpected than you?"

Wei Zhuang's tone did not change, still as cold as ever.

"It's quite unexpected." Zhang Liang did not deny it: "Brother Wei Zhuang, are there any peasant forces in South Korea?"

"The farmhouse of the immortal farmer Shen Nong of all things in the land? They will be found everywhere except Qin."

"There are six halls in a farmhouse. Among the farmhouses in Korea, which hall is it?"

"The land of Han and Wei belongs to the Siyue Hall." Wei Zhuang clattered the shark-tooth sword in front of him and held it up with his hand: "This new friend of mine is from a farmer's family."

There was definitely a lot of meaning in his tone.

"It's a farmhouse, but it's not Siyuetang, but Gonggongtang."

"Lu Wei?" The current owner of Quicksand immediately guessed the candidate.

Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, is this person the target of Quicksand?"

"Anyone can be a target of quicksand."

At this point, he glanced at him with a cold look under his gray eyebrows: "Although there are many farm disciples, Lu Wei is the most active in recent years. The only one in Gonggong Hall who can call you a new friend is this leader. "

"It seems you know about the same as I do."

When Zhang Liang said this, his eyes turned to Chi Lian, who had been silent for a long time. Liusha didn't know much about the farm problems, so he needed to make other plans: "Why did Liusha come to Songhai this time?"

"For the Confucian head-changing ceremony, many people who would not normally show up will gather here."

"Liusha has received several missions, and the target happens to be Songhai."

Wei Zhuang had no intention of concealing his intentions.

"Becoming a murder weapon. Is this the quicksand now?"

Feeling the already cold sea breeze, Zhang Liang sounded a little regretful.

"To survive or to be destroyed, no one will choose the latter!"

The person speaking here is the former Korean Princess Honglian.
------

In Xianyang City, Luo Wang’s summit was cancelled.

Because now, there is only one leader left in the net.

That is Zhao Gao, the eunuch who is deeply trusted by the current King of Qin.Another opponent is out.

Someone always needs to stand up and take responsibility for the assassination of Qin's envoy Gan Luo in Qin's territory, but the assassin who attacked Gan Luo was a member of the Six Sword Slave.

The Six Sword Slaves were cultivated by Zhao Gao's competitor in the net, but now, this top killer group has become the weapon of the final winner.
Assassinating Gan Luo can not only clear out the foreign invaders who know the secret of Luo Wang, but also force the "good partner" who has teamed up with him to eliminate the other leaders of Luo Wang to be eliminated by the King of Qin. What a wonderful plan~

"The state of Qin only needs one voice, and the snare only needs one voice."

Enjoying the taste of power, Zhao Gao shook the blood-red wine in his hand and understood rationally: the snare after the internal fight was extremely weak at this moment.

But it doesn't matter. As the Qin army continues to attack other countries, more death row prisoners and wild killers will join Luo Wang's command and become the sword in his hand.

After first being broken and then established, Luo Wang's strength will undoubtedly become stronger. The current killers at all levels in Luo Wang are still weak after all.Compared with hundreds of powerful schools of thought in the arena, there is no obvious advantage.

And before all this, I have to find another public master for myself, to cover up the trap of weakness and myself, to hide from others.

For example, Mr. Li Sili, who has a bright future in the court, is a great candidate!
After drinking all the blood in his hand, Zhao Gao stood up and counted the time. The king had to deal with political affairs at this time, and he had to hurry up to serve him.

"Sir, there is information coming from Daze Mountain."

The black-clothed killer who had been guarding the door immediately knelt down to report when he saw Zhao Gao coming out.

"What's the matter?"

The soft voice made the killer freeze, and he lowered his head:

"There is news from Qiu Chan."

"According to his investigation, Lu Wei from the farmer's Gonggong Hall secretly took in the first-class killer Jing Salad of the day before yesterday, and with the help of Jing Sala's power, he killed Tian Zhong who was in the way, so that he could succeed as the leader of the Gonggong Hall."

"anything else?"

Zhao Gao held his head arrogantly, as if he wanted to make up for his bowed head in front of the palace dignitaries in front of his subordinates, and straightened his back.

The fact that Lu Wei took in Jing Salamander did not surprise him. Zhao Gao had guessed this when the disciples of Xinling Temple joined Gonggong Hall for no reason.

"There is also the farmer Kui Tianguang who has not been back to Daze Mountain for many years. He seems to be planning something alone in Yandi."

"Qiu Chan hopes that the net can capture Tian Guang and support him to become the new peasant hero!"

"So anxious~" Zhao Gao's red hair exposed from his tall hat was fluttering in the wind, much like a ball of flame: "We haven't established a new connection with Daze Mountain yet, have we?"

"Yes, this is information sent by Qiu Chan through the old method. We have never sent new orders to the spiders lurking in Daze Mountain."

"Before this, Qiu Chan also sent two pieces of information, one about the farmer Siyue Hall Situ Wanli, and the other about Chi You Hall Tian Hu."

"The poison of power really makes everyone obsessed with the pursuit~" Zhao Gao raised his hand and looked at his pale fingers: "Let's re-establish contact with Qiu Chan."

"Tell him: Tian Guang, the net can help him get rid of it."

"But Xiakui, he has to fight for it himself."

"If you want to get Luowang's support, you need to show your value!"

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!" The killer was about to retreat, but Zhao Gao called him back:
"No, give him my words again in three months~"

Seeing the figure of the black-clothed killer disappear, the man holding the sword smiled strangely and continued to walk towards the main hall of the Qin Palace.

'Among the hundreds of scholars, the peasant family has always been the easiest to penetrate and the least valuable. '

'Confucianism and Mohism are the most important schools in the long run, and they show no flaws'

'After Luowang re-absorbs elite killers, it needs to pay more attention to these two companies~'

'But right now, it is more important to form the Six Sword Slaves.Although my ally is dead, his proposal is very good. '

In the Yan Kingdom, in the Golden Terrace Restaurant, Jing Ke, Gao Jianli, and Kuang Xiu were playing music together.

They sang loudly, and the audience followed them in low voices.

There are no outsiders here tonight, they are all Mohist disciples from Jicheng.

Most of the disciples did not know about the plan to assassinate Qin, but the sad music of Gao Jianli and Kuang Xiu conveyed this emotion to everyone.

Yan Dan and Qin Wuyang were drinking on the second floor. The two had been close for many years. Assassinating Qin this time would mean death, but he was willing to die in order to repay the prince's kindness.

The wine was good wine, but it had a slightly bitter taste in Yan Dan's mouth.

This plan to assassinate Qin decided the fate of many people.

Yan Dan has studied Mohist internal skills for many years, but his personal character is inevitably influenced by Mohist ideas.

Now, he can somewhat understand the reason why the Six-fingered Black Man did not allow the Mohist disciples to join the Yan Kingdom's court. However, he is still the prince of the Yan Kingdom!

Between the two identities, the latter still has the upper hand.
Therefore, this plan to assassinate Qin, which will completely put the Mohist family on the opposite side of Qin, must be implemented!
But what Yan Dan didn't know was that another conspiracy was also being planned in his prince's palace.
Crown Princess Yan Yun decisively handed over her daughter, who was named Princess Gao Yue, to the two daughters of the Yin Yang family in front of her.

Concubine Yan held the little girl in her arms, and the blue flames in her palms penetrated her body bit by bit through the fabric.

"Do you hope to kill Yan Yi with your own hands?"

"Yes, I want to peel off his skin with my own hands."

"Can't Yan Dan help you do this?"

"Of course he can. He is the prince of this country. Yan Yi will eventually be abandoned by him, and he has already found out my hatred."

"If I keep waiting, I also have a chance to take revenge, but I can't wait any longer!"

"My father, mother, brother. They call me in their dreams every day!"

"Their grudges need that old thief's head to be sacrificed!"

Yan Yun's spirit was very unstable, and Yue Shen suddenly felt that this woman also had some talent for learning Yin and Yang.

"When I finish teaching your daughter, you will naturally be able to get Yan Yi's head."

Concubine Yan's face turned a little pale due to the large amount of yin and yang skills that had passed in a short period of time.

"I must kill Yan Yi as soon as possible!" Yan Yun's eyes were vicious: "I will not expose your plan. After killing Yan Yi, I can commit suicide immediately!"

"You don't have to worry, we will help you complete your revenge within this year."

'It is also the beginning of my own revenge'

Concubine Yan put the sleeping Princess Gao Yue back to the bedside: "Tomorrow night, I can bring Yan Yi to you, but you can't kill him. I can let you see his pain, how about it?"

"can!"

Without looking at his daughter, Yan Yun, dressed in gorgeous clothes, nodded heavily.
