Chapter 7, the wind has changed

Interesting

How did you persuade Qianqian

In the study, a gust of wind blew in, causing the candle flame to flicker

I am well aware of the organizational structure, strongholds, action codes, various secret phrases, operational style, and famous assassins of the organization. It is not easy for the organization to find me, but it is quite effortless for me to find the organization

It was precisely due to those failures that Wei Qianqian saved the severely injured Xuan Jian, leading to this romantic connection.

"Should we summon Xuan Jian back?"

Speaking of the last task, Xuan Jian's expression was somewhat displeased

Xianyang

Very good

Lü Buwei slowly raised his head; outside the pavilion, atop the eaves, stood a swordsman.

You ... ...

Who is the other party? Is it Lord Xinling?

The danger comes not only from the six states but also from within the Qin state itself

An elderly woman, slow in her movements while setting up her stall, suddenly transformed into a highly skilled assassin

Zhao Shuang slowly tilted the teacup in her hand, and the tea spilled onto the ground, causing the surrounding grass to wither in an instant

Lü Buwei stroked his beard; despite being in a perilous situation, he remained composed and adept.

Xuan Jian sat down again, placing the long sword beside the table

The roadside tea house, with few passersby

Lü Buwei set down the scroll in his hand, and a faint glimmer of murderous intent flickered in his gaze

Zhao Shuang smiled and set down the coarse bowl in her hand

To deal with me, the people sent by the Net will not be of low rank. It is very likely that the Net will have me complete the assassination mission that failed last time again

It does not matter whose hand holds a sharp weapon, as long as the direction in which it strikes is what you expect. However, since this sharp weapon has been sheathed, it requires someone to awaken it once more

The subordinate understands

Thus, once you cease your actions, the net will quickly find you again

Xuan Jian lowered his head again, and the little chubby boy in front of him inadvertently revealed a smile

The State Council

Upon mentioning this name, Zhao Shuang gasped in shock

It does not matter whose hand holds the sword; what is important is to find the sheath that fits this sword. And for you, Wei Qianqian is that sheath

Who is that

How is it, have you seen it?

Therefore, the great general of Zhao State, Lian Po

The crisis will not be resolved just like that

Xuan Jian walked over and sat down opposite him

It is not a big deal to make a petty person like Wei Yong stop. I am rather curious about what could possibly make the fierce beast Xuan Jian halt its actions

In the State of Wei, the only person whom Zhao Shuang could think of deserving such treatment from the net, and who could also severely injure Xuan Jian, was this former commander of the coalition forces who had once dealt a significant blow to the Qin army.

... ...

And I, having been injured at the hands of him, was almost deprived of my life while riding on the steed of Lian Yunfei

Xuan Jian's expression softened somewhat. In his early years, he roamed the rivers and lakes as a notorious thief, and later joined the Luo Network. Throughout his life, he has taken countless lives, yet he never imagined he would have his own family

The room has once again become empty and silent, the sounds that just echoed in my ears feel like a fleeting dream, as if they had never existed at all

Why do you want to help me

At first, I found it somewhat strange, but later I began to understand. The request to eliminate those ministers closely associated with Lord Xinling in the State of Wei was not only a means for Wei Yong to eliminate political rivals, but also something that the Luo Network was eager to see.

Wei Wuji has always been the target that the Luo Network wishes to assassinate, but my mission is not him

Xuan Jian did not understand what abilities this chubby little boy possessed that made Wei Qianqian agree to leave here with him

How do you know this is a stronghold of the Luo Network

What the net desires is a tireless sword of slaughter; while all I want is merely a less sharp tool

Since the assassination mission of Xuan Jian failed, he has remained in the State of Wei. Although it is unclear how Wei Yong has manipulated him, the assassination of several officials in the Wei court is inextricably linked to him

Covering the Sun

Do you want to control me

In fact, if it were not for Qianqian, I would indeed be dead

What should we do next

Go to the State of Wei, and together with Xuan Jian, continue to complete the task he failed last time. If he is unwilling, you know what to do

The sound of the wind has changed somewhat

Is this how it is done

However, this assassin seems to harbor some fear

Zhao Shuang poured a bowl of clean tea for Xuan Jian and also poured a bowl for herself

Can this fellow also manipulate the net of fate at will

As a mere merchant who has climbed to his current position, Lü Buwei's heart is filled with constant worry and vigilance

It does not surprise me that a top-tier assassin from the Luo Network could fail. However, the fact that the opponent nearly killed you is rather intriguing

In a single move, Xuan Jian eliminated two assassins from the Luo Wang. However, as he sheathed his sword and looked at the chubby boy still eating at the stall, he felt a sense of confusion in his heart

The elderly vendor brought over the food and freshly brewed tea, walking slowly towards me

What worried Lü Buwei even more was the woman Zhao Ji. She was an important link between the King of Qin and Lü Buwei, yet she was the most unstable element.

Empress Huayang sits high on the cloud platform, appearing like a leisurely cloud or wild crane, yet her nephew, Prince Changping Xiongqi, has been secretly assisting Chengjiao.

Prime Minister!

The expression of terror on the tea house owner's face froze, as if time had come to a standstill, and his body collapsed to the ground. Meanwhile, the other person, whose gaze had been vacant, suddenly sparkled with intensity, as a dagger slipped from his sleeve and was grasped firmly in his hand

Watching this scene, Xuan Jian felt a subtle sense of disconnection in his heart

Xuan Jian nodded slightly

Within the imperial harem, in addition to Empress Dowager Zhao, there is also Empress Dowager Huayang. In the city of Xianyang, besides King Zheng of Qin, there is also Lord Chang'an.

Under the long sword's banner, blood flows incessantly

Xuan Jian, do you know the cost of betraying the web of loyalty

Do not forget who my master is

Whether it is Lü Buwei or Zhao Ji, they are both seen as outsiders by the people of the Qin state. Their ability to hold power in the Qin state fundamentally lies in King Zheng of Qin.

Zhao Shuang lifted the teacup and smiled slightly. However, in the next moment, Xuan Jian's black sword was already pressed against his neck

Zhao Shuang was mumbling, with a cake stuffed in her mouth

Zhao Shuang ordered a bowl of tea and sat aside

Before Qin Wang took power, the foundation of Lü Buwei's authority would not be shaken

The current uncle of King Qin, Lü Buwei, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, who stands above all others yet below only one, does not enjoy the peace of mind that his apparent power and influence would suggest

I can bear this cost

Has there been no movement from the State of Wei?

It is very simple, because she has your child

The owners of the tea house are an elderly couple who seem to have hearing difficulties, and they are busy preparing food

Lord Chang'an, Cheng Jiao

Xuan Jian's expression changed suddenly; just a moment ago, when he saw Wei Qianqian, she was full of smiles but said nothing to him

Once Cheng Jiao gains power, everything that Lü Buwei currently possesses will vanish into thin air

You have helped Wei Yong for such a long time, hasn't the net come to find you
