"This blood jade that King Zhao mentioned has been on him all the time, but how can he carry such a large piece of stuff without being seen by others? Is it hidden inside his clothes, or... inside his body?"

"Also, this Madam Zhu seems to be the one who accompanies King Zhao the closest now. Could it be that Shao Siming disguised her? But her expression of awe and shyness just now seemed so real."

"No, that's not right! Zhao Xunle pretended to be flawless and natural in the beginning. Shao Siming, as her master, shouldn't be any worse, so she wouldn't have any clues in this kind of outward performance."

"It is still unclear who Shao Siming is disguising himself as. Everyone is a suspect, especially those close to King Zhao. Madam Zhu is a big suspect."

In a state of concentration, Wu Fengdeng quickly sorted out his thoughts. In order to avoid the risk of alerting the enemy and in accordance with the principle of getting to the bottom of the matter, he and Han Fei sat on the tree and watched quietly until midnight when King Zhao finally finished reviewing the memorial and left with the help of Madam Zhu.

"You stay here to protect yourself from the wind. I'll go down and take a look."

After making sure that there was no one around, Wu Fengdeng immediately climbed down the tree and quietly opened the door of the study.

It was dark inside, with a faint scent of tea. Without hesitation, he opened the memorials, glanced through them, and wrote down the information about Handan's defense.

He searched the room for a while and was about to leave after making sure there was nothing else of note. However, at a glance, he saw the teacup on the table with some tea left in it.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Fengdeng took out a thumb-thick bamboo joint from his waist that was used to hold notes, and put the tea and a piece of tea leaf into it.

"Since this Madam Zhu is suspicious, then take the tea she brewed back and let Qingdai see if there is anything fishy. Since you are here, it is always a good idea to bring some with you."

While talking secretly in his heart, he opened the door and walked out of the palace with Han Fei.

It was late at night, and except for the patrolling guards and the night watch eunuchs, everyone was basically asleep, so the escape was smooth and they climbed over the palace wall in no time.

However, when they were about to go back the way they came, they ran into a group of armored soldiers. Wu Fengdeng's eyes trembled slightly, and he quickly pulled Han Fei close to the wall and disappeared into the darkness.

"There are three wells around this place. You should guard them carefully to prevent the Qin army from invading from underground."

The voice sounded like Li Xing. Wu Fengdeng squinted his eyes and saw Li Xing carrying a long sword on the street.

At this time, the team of soldiers happened to be blocking the street entrance, blocking their way back. Seeing that they had no plans to leave for the time being, Wu Fengdeng patted Han Fei behind him and slowly retreated.

I could only go through the dark alley behind me.

"Meow~"

In an instant, the sudden cry behind him made Wu Fengdeng's hair stand on end. He turned around in surprise and saw a tabby cat squatting on the wall, staring at them with its dark brown vertical pupils.

"medicine!"

As soon as Wu Fengdeng finished speaking, Han Fei handed him a yellow antidote and quickly pulled off his mask to swallow it.

"who!"

At the same time, Li Xing also became alert instantly, subconsciously drew out the long sword at his waist, and then his breathing suddenly became tight.

Although the face was hidden in the darkness and only some outlines could be seen, Li Xing recognized him instantly!

I can still recognize this bastard even if he is burned to ashes!
"Wu Fengdeng!"

A sharp scream instantly pierced the silence of Handan, and then several wooden boxes suddenly bounced open, and two figures rushed out quickly, heading straight for the city gate.

"Get 'em!"

Hearing the hysterical roar behind him, Wu Fengdeng simply stopped pretending and directly summoned out Yanri, turned around and fired with the Dragon Roar Gun!

Boom~
The powerful airflow cleared the way, violently overturning everything on the street, with the sound of things falling to the ground continuing.

"Wu Fengdeng, don't run!" Li Xing rushed out forcefully, his face flushed and full of anger.

欻!
The sword energy came from the air, but Wu Fengdeng raised his hand and smashed it easily. He glanced at Li Xing coldly, and without further entanglement, he turned around and retreated at full speed.

The commotion here attracted the attention of the Zhao army around. They must not fight and get entangled by them, otherwise they will die.

At this time, Han Fei had already rushed to the city wall.

"who!"

The defenders had heard the noise in the city a long time ago, but they didn't expect it to be coming towards them. They looked a little panicked for a moment, and quickly aimed their swords, bows, crossbows, etc. downwards.

Han Fei did not hesitate at all. With a twist of his wrist, the white jade folding fan shattered directly, and the stream of light penetrated all the Zhao soldiers in front of him at an astonishing speed. Then he turned around and shouted, "Brother Wu, hurry up!"

However, as soon as these words fell, several terrifying auras instantly locked onto the two of them. There was no doubt that they must be the recent masters of the Qi Concealment Realm!
[Blood Rush]

Without any hesitation, Wu Fengdeng directly activated the Blood Burst Technique, leaving a trail of red afterimages in the air, and quickly climbed up the city wall.

Before those strands of spiritual energy hit them, the two of them suddenly leaped into the air.

Bang bang bang!
The city wall suddenly trembled, and rubble splashed and fell with a loud bang.

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of the Qin army. Immediately, several streams of light flew straight into the sky and intercepted the Zhao army's attempt to kill Wu Fengdeng and the other man. For a while, there were shockwaves in the sky.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Fengdeng and Han Fei finally crossed the moat and returned to the camp smoothly...

A quarter of an hour later, at the central army camp, generals including Wang Jian and Li Xin all arrived, and the one sitting at the top was Ying Zheng.

"…That's about it. The main purpose of this trip was to find out that Li Mu and Sima Shang were in charge of the army again, and that the blood jade heirloom was carried by the King of Zhao."

"As for Shao Siming, there is no confirmed candidate yet. It is estimated that she will not show up until the last minute." Wu Fengdeng recounted the intelligence he had gained during this trip in detail.

After listening to this, Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "As long as we know where the blood jade of the state is, that will be enough. As for Shao Siming... then we will kill everyone around King Zhao."

Wu Fengdeng nodded. It would be too troublesome to find the real murderer. It would be better to kill all the suspects. They were all traitors and there was no point in keeping them.

"General Wang, when can we launch the general offensive?"

Ying Zheng asked Wang Jian, who replied, "Your Majesty, the city defense intelligence Wu Fengdeng brought is slightly different from before. It will take at least a day to re-formulate tactics."

"Okay, then I will give you one day. I want to see a new tactical plan within twelve hours."

"Here!"

Although it is still unclear where Shao Siming is, at least they know that time is not on their side, so the sooner they launch an attack, the better.

At the same time, Qingdai hurried in from the door of the tent and looked at Wu Fengdeng anxiously: "Master Wu, I found out..."

Before she finished speaking, she instantly realized the current situation and quickly bowed to Ying Zheng: "Qingdai greets the king."

She was so anxious that she even threw etiquette to the wind. It was obvious that something terrible was going on. Ying Zheng did not blame her, but waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Qingdai said seriously, "There is a small amount of specially made sheep pollen in the tea that Master Wu brought."

"This medicine is highly poisonous, and has been specially processed. It is colorless and tasteless, but more toxic. Taking a small amount will not kill you, but if you take it continuously for a long time, it will continue to damage your internal organs, causing you to become increasingly weak until you die of exhaustion!" When these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Wu Fengdeng's pupils shrank slightly.

Madam Zhu served him tea in moderation, obviously intending to put King Zhao to death. In this case, she was indeed Shao Siming!

"No wonder the King of Zhao looked so puffy just now. He was sweating even though it was almost winter. How much poison did he use without realizing it?!"

As he was secretly surprised, he heard a muffled sound.

It was Ying Zheng who patted Android and stood up suddenly. He said with a serious face: "The king is protected by the blood jade handed down from the country, and cannot die from external forces. However, this chronic poison is subtle and weak, and will not attract the attention of the blood jade until the king of Zhao dies!"

Snapped!
After he finished speaking, Han Fei beside him also understood everything. He closed his folding fan and continued, "In this case, everything makes sense!"

"The Yin-Yang family is fully supporting Zhao in this battle in order to give Shao Siming time to poison him. The intelligence General Wu handed over earlier also mentioned that they would need ten days."

"In other words, the dosage of poison in these ten days is enough to kill King Zhao. Your Majesty, there is no time to waste, we must attack the city immediately!"

Everyone stood up with solemn expressions, knowing that this had come to the most critical moment and that even the time to readjust tactics could not be wasted.

Ying Zheng's eyes were full of ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, return to the camp immediately, organize the army and prepare for battle. In one hour, attack the city with all your strength at all costs. There will be no main attack or feint attack."

"Here!"

……

After thoroughly understanding the Yin-Yang School's strategy, the Qin army could not afford to waste even a second. Even though they did not have a particularly perfect and detailed siege tactical plan, they had to charge forward.

For a moment, the Qin army camp, which had been relatively quiet, became noisy. The shouts of the entire army and the rumbling sounds of equipment such as catapults, battering rams, and ladders were intertwined, making the Zhao army on the city wall break out in cold sweats and tremble in their hearts.

Under the cover of night, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

As the horns suddenly sounded from all directions in the Qin army camp, the entire earth shook instantly.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The catapult swung the giant god's arms, picked up the stars and smashed them towards Handan, with flames whistling all over the sky, and more than a dozen flashes of light from the Cangqi realm flashing among them.

There is even a Zhenwu figure among them.

From the beginning of the war, the Qin State spared no effort!

The smoke of war filled the sky and earth, and the galloping horses on the ground were like inverted thunder, flying over the moat and passing through the rain of arrows at an extremely fast speed.

"go with!"

Wu Fengdeng jumped directly from the horse's back, stepped on the ladder that the soldiers had just pushed over, and rushed straight to the top of the city wall.

There were countless enemy troops ahead, and Wu Fengdeng's eyes became increasingly cold and sharp.

The sun is raised high, and the scarlet is descending!
Beat, kill, smash, bite...

Hundreds of thousands of people killed each other in this place, and when the dawn broke, all they saw were broken skeletons.

Soldiers, captains, lieutenants, and even... masters of the Qi Containment Realm!

It was tragic, shockingly tragic.

This intense project had lasted for three days. It was already raining heavily today. The cold rain in late autumn and early winter was bone-chilling, but even so it could not extinguish the murderous aura and flames of war on the battlefield.

puff!
Yanri tore open the heavily armored deputy general's body, and blood mixed with raindrops splashed on Wu Fengdeng's face, making it look even paler.

Huchihuchi~
Looking at the corpses scattered on the ladders and the Zhao army still blocking the city wall tightly ahead, Wu Fengdeng gritted his teeth and was about to rush up with his gun when he heard Guo Huan's voice behind him.

"Brother Wu, I'll take your place!"

The two of them joined forces and took turns attacking this half of the east gate. Wu Fengdeng didn't know how long he had been fighting. When he saw Guo Huan recover and rush over, he retreated without any hesitation and returned to the tent.

"Mr. Wu!"

Qingdai had already prepared the medicine by this time, and hurriedly helped him take off his armor, and skillfully tore open his clothes to treat his injuries.

Wu Fengdeng had long been accustomed to this kind of pain. He took the water bottle beside him and drank it without changing his expression, while listening to Li Qun and others reporting to him about the casualties.

"Today's attack has killed 322 soldiers. The tunnel excavation is more than halfway done. The rest can be reached from the top of Guo's camp..."

Wu Fengdeng listened and nodded slightly. Although the loss of nearly one tenth was very high, it was still within his acceptable range.

After all, this was a general attack, and it was the most heavily guarded city, Handan, so it was completely normal to have heavy casualties.

"Take the time to rest and recover. We will go into battle to kill the enemy in two hours. We must work together and not delay."

Three days had passed and the city had not been taken, and Wu Fengdeng became increasingly uneasy.

After simply treating his injuries, Wu Fengdeng took a handful of medicine to replenish his qi and blood, as well as a large bucket of rice and pork legs, and began to practice qigong to restore his qi and blood.

After an hour and a half, his energy and blood finally recovered to 80%. Wu Fengdeng breathed a sigh of relief, put on his armor and walked outside into the rain.

The rain was not as heavy at this time, but it was still dense, and a cold wind was blowing, whistling so hard that it made people's teeth chatter.

Da da da~~
The horse's hooves splashed mud, and a silver-armored figure came in front of him through the rain. It was Han Fei!
"Brother Wu, time is running out and there is no need to explain. The king has assigned three thousand Black Dragon Riders to us. We must break the city today!" As soon as the words were spoken, dense groups of Black Dragon Riders rushed out from the rain.

Even Ying Zheng's personal guards were sent to attack the city, which shows how eager he was to break the city. Wu Fengdeng was also not vague and immediately led all the soldiers of the seven battalions to rush forward.

Three thousand Black Dragon Riders plus four thousand Fire Armored Soldiers, a total of seven thousand people, plunged into the battlefield like sharp blades.

Bang bang bang!
The huge battering ram knocked the East City Gate to the point of collapse, not to mention Wu Fengdeng and nearly a hundred of the strongest fighters who came together to ram the gate. Even if there were disciples of the Hou Tu School of the Yin-Yang Family supporting the gate, it was obviously overwhelmed.

Finally, after a stalemate of half an hour, Wu Fengdeng's side finally broke open the city gate.

"kill!"

In an instant, the Qin army swarmed in, so densely that they even blocked the city gate.

Swish swish!
Wu Fengdeng and Han Fei rushed to the front, killing with spears and folding fans, and cut a bloody path through the Zhao army at the door.

"follow me!"

Suddenly, Wu Fengdeng's shoulders sank, and a familiar low voice sounded in his ears.

Looking back, I saw a masked Black Dragon Knight passing by with a bloody sword in hand. Although I couldn't see his face, his voice was very familiar.

Ying Zheng? !
