Hearing Chi Yao's words, Xuan Jian replied speechlessly: "Then you wait here for a while, and I'll go get some money from them."

Chi Yao smiled and nodded, leaning on the railing with a leisurely look: "Go back quickly."

And in the darkness unknown to either of them, Jing Salad, who had just returned to the room to take off his oiran makeup, also received a report from his subordinates.

"Xuan Jian appears in Nishang Garden?"

She frowned slightly.

Chi Yao's guess was correct. Luo Wang's plan for Lord Xinling had indeed begun long ago. Ever since that man raised his arms and led the five-nation coalition, it was like a god descending from heaven. The Qin army, which was originally in good shape and was about to capture Zhao State, was in embarrassment.

From the time he was driven back to Hangu Pass, Wei Wuji's name became a major concern for all the princes in the Qin Dynasty.

Even though the State of Qin had secretly made efforts to ask the King of Wei to urgently recall this younger brother and take away the military power in his hands, as long as this man did not die, he would always be a huge stone weighing on their hearts.

Because since the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal forces was proposed, the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal lines has been mostly effective, but there are only a handful of successful cases of combining vertical lines and vertical lines. This is because combining vertical lines and vertical lines means linking the weak to attack the strong, so it is difficult to unite people's hearts.

The only successful vertical alliances were once against Qi and once against Chu. Qin was the winner in both vertical camps.

When the Qin State rose and became the target of several other countries that had to join forces to attack Qin, starting from Gongsun Yan more than seventy years ago, the number of joint attacks on Qin was the highest, but there were very few winners.

The most recent one was four years ago when Lord Xinling united the five kingdoms to attack Qin.

If the Qin State had not used timely tactics to drive a wedge between King Wei and Lord Xinling, the aggressive Five-Nation Alliance might not have stopped fighting against Hangu.

Although Hezong failed to break into Hangu Pass this time and caused the Qin army to suffer a lot, it was a rare case of destroying the Qin army's strategic intentions and winning consecutive victories along the way.

In terms of results, it is second only to Lord Mengchang who united Qi, Han, and Wei 50 years ago to attack Qin. At that time, under the leadership of Lord Mengchang, the coalition forces broke through Hangu Pass in three years, forcing Qin to return the territory it had invaded and occupied Han.

, part of Wei's territory.

Lord Xinling's actions this time were equivalent to a slap in the face, waking up Qin who was immersed in pride.

Although since the reform, the Qin State has been developing rapidly, becoming rich and powerful, and after embezzling Ba and Shu to solve the food and grass problem, it became recognized as the strongest country.

However, they still did not have the strength to conquer everything. Lord Xinling's combined forces defeated the Qin army, which reminded them of the man who also led the combined forces into Hangu Pass fifty years ago.

They were both lords of the same country, both were famous for being good at raising scholars, and they were both ranked as the Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period by good people.

With so many similarities, Qin could not help but recall the fear of being beaten into Hangu Pass by Mengchang Jun.

Although King Xinling's progress was blocked this time because King Wei succeeded in holding him back, who knows if there will be a next time?

At that time, will we have to alienate King Wei again?

No, this is too passive!

After analysis, the reason why Lord Xinling's alliance was so successful was that he was able to mediate the relationship between the Eastern countries. Lord Xinling's reputation in Wei was already very high, and in addition, he once stole talismans.

He rescued Zhao and lived in Zhao for more than ten years, so he could easily unite Wei and Zhao, and based on them, plus the coerced South Korea, he formed the combined force of the three Jins.

With such a basic base in hand, as long as one of the two countries, Qi and Chu, can be persuaded, it will cause great trouble to Qin.

Apart from King Wei's suspicion, there is almost no weakness in the opponent's side.

But the prestige of King Wei in Wei State is not as good as that of Lord Xinling!

In addition, the current King of Wei is still not young, and there are often reports of being unwell. Once the old king passes away and the new King of Wei succeeds, as a nephew and nephew, he can continue to suppress this famous relative. Uncle?

When the internal worries of Wei are gone, Wei Wuji regains his strength and attacks again. What's the solution?

At this time, Qin's most famous general, Meng Ao, was defeated. Who could stop him?

After thinking about it, since I can't deal with it on the battlefield, I can only change my mind.

Eliminate him physically.

So this task was handed over to Luo Wang, who specialized in this field.

And because Lord Xinling had so many followers, it was obviously not advisable to kill him by force, so this task was given to the only female Jingshaman among the first-class Tianzi, who is today's Ni'er girl.

The hierarchy in the network is very strict, and confidentiality is very strict. Even if you are a first-class person, you have no right to know the mission information of other colleagues if it does not involve your own mission.

Therefore, Black and White Xuanjian, who is also the first-class Tianzi, suddenly appeared on her territory, which surprised Jingli because she had not received any news from Xianyang, and Xuanjian did not come to her directly, indicating that this That's not what I meant above.

So the reason for this is very intriguing.

The task at hand is not only the highest level of Luowang, but also registered with Prime Minister Lu Buwei. It is the highest priority that all Luowang must help complete.

Any factors that may lead to accidents must be eliminated, because for people like Xinling Lord Wei Wuji, even the smallest flaws and clues may be noticed, leading to the failure of the mission.

And she couldn't afford the price of mission failure.

After thinking for a while with a gloomy face, Jing salamander called over one of his subordinates: "Go, send a message to the people at the Daliang stronghold and ask them to send someone to ask why Xuan Jian came here. Be careful not to be exposed. Our identity.”

"yes."

The subordinate followed the order and left. Jing Shao looked at the half-removed makeup in the bronze mirror. He no longer had the intention to dismantle it carefully. He simply closed his eyes, reached under the dressing table, and held a piece. The cold hilt.

It seemed that only the hard touch in her hands could calm her down.

…

…

The prosperity has dispersed, and it is already the time when the moon is at its peak.

Recalling the scene of asking for money from Luo Wang's contact, Xuan Jian is still a little uncomfortable.

When did he, a mighty swordsman and a top-notch killer, sink to the point where he had to ask his subordinates for money?

Doesn't he want to save face?

If he hadn't been thinking silently in his heart, "He saved me and is my benefactor", Xuan Jian would have given up his choice long ago.

After finally getting the money back, Chi Yao decided to rest in Nishang Garden that night.

Seeing the surprised expression on Xuan Jian's face, Chi Yao was even more surprised than him: "What's wrong? Don't tell me, in all these years of traveling around the world, have you never stayed in such a place?"

To put it more bluntly, I'm asking, at your age, aren't you still just a child?

How could Xuan Jian tolerate such questioning?

Just stay!

He took the initiative to call the maid, threw out a silver coin, and said, "Open two upper rooms!"

“Bold and generous!”

Chi Yao clapped softly and followed with a smile.

…

…

"What, he actually wants to stay in Nishang Garden?"

After receiving the news, Jingli couldn't understand Xuanjian's operation even more.

No matter what level of killer, unless required by the mission, they will never stay in such a fireworks place where people and animals are mixed together, because this will increase the chance of accidents.

What killers hate most is accidents.

There is no doubt that Xuan Jian today is the biggest surprise to Jingli.

"By the way, Lord Jing Salamander, Lord Xuanjian did not come alone, there is another person beside him."

"Not one of ours?"

"no."

"Who is that?"

Jingyu's intuition made her vaguely guess that that person might be the key to Xuan Jian's abnormal behavior.

"I don't know."

"If you don't know, why don't you go check it out?"

Hearing this answer, Jing Salaman was almost angry to death. Why didn't he usually think that all of his subordinates were so stupid?

Facing the anger of Jing Salamander, his subordinates lowered their heads, "We found out that the two of them came to Daliang along Yingshui. We couldn't find any news about that person near Daliang. Information from further away was sent

needs time."

After all, the Warring States Period is not modern. You can directly connect to the database for query by scanning your face. Even for an organization like Luowang, if you want to check a person's origin, you can only look through the files.

This only applies when the other party is a celebrity. If it is an ordinary person whose information has never been included in the net before, then they have to go to the places where that person has appeared to find people to inquire, which is unimaginably inefficient.

Jing salamander also understands this, but she has a better way: "We are a trap. Everyone has been brought in front of us. Do we still need to check any information? Just tie him up and torture him."

Anyway, a person who can't even be found in a snare for a while, probably won't be an important person.

"But he is with Lord Xuanjian..."

The subordinate said na na.

"I have sent people to lure Xuan Jian away. You must move quickly! Do you understand?"

"As you command!"
