Chapter 201 Lian Po is old
“Jing Ni is no longer in Wei. Two months ago, she was sent to Qi to carry out a mission.” Yan Ri gasped for breath, her voice hoarse, carrying a hint of resentment, but she had no choice but to compromise.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu's eyes flickered slightly: "Sword Master Han Guang?"

Yan Ri's pupils contracted slightly, her heart skipped a beat: 'How did he know?'

Although this matter was not considered top secret within the Luo Wang organization, it was not information that just anyone could access.

Moreover, sending Jingni to carry out this task was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The order was issued only two months ago, and very few people handled it; its level of secrecy was comparable to top secret.

This can be seen from the fact that the 'Six-Finger Qin Demon' did not know Jing Ni's whereabouts at the beginning. So why was he able to immediately guess Jing Ni's mission objective just because she went to Qi State to carry out a mission?

Just how familiar and infiltrated was this person with the Luo Wang network?
The eyes behind the mask of the Asura who concealed the sun flickered, but he dared not make any rash moves.

Mo Yu did not answer his question. He waved his hand to let his disciples leave the space shrouded by the two people's spiritual domains, and at the same time slowly withdrew his own sword intent.

Only he and Yan Ri remained in the entire area; even Black Widow withdrew her Heartless Silk and quietly retreated.

The entire space was once again bathed in bloody light.

Beneath the Asura mask, a cold glint flashed in Yan Ri's eyes, his killing intent surging within him as he considered whether to launch a sneak attack the moment Mo Yu withdrew his sword intent domain.

For a ruthless assassin, breaking contracts is perfectly normal.

But in the end, he managed to suppress his impulse.

He couldn't see through this terrifying opponent. With the other's intelligence, how could he not have foreseen his fickle nature? The 'Six-Fingered Qin Demon' must have a backup plan, or even be waiting for him to make his move!
Mo Yu sat lazily on the roof, propping his head up with his hand, and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm very curious, to whom does the Luo Wang organization truly remain loyal these days?"

"Lü Buwei? The Qin state? Or perhaps...profit?"

Once everyone had left, he couldn't be bothered to pretend to be a great leader anymore, and revealed a hint of cynicism.

"."

Yan Ri remained silent, but her heart was in turmoil as she pondered what Mo Yu really meant.

In this chaotic world that can turn people into ghosts, the vast majority of people yearn to end this era, and sages have followed one after another to explore various paths.

But there are always some people, or rather, some who have been changed by this era and turned into demons living in the dark world, who do not wish for this chaotic world to end.

In the original novel, someone saves Wei Zhuang only to prolong the chaos.

Mo Yu didn't know the person's identity, but he was certain that the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) operated in this way.

Maggots born of war, as long as chaos continues, no matter what blows they suffer, can always be reborn from the shadow of death.

But once the chaos ends and order descends upon the world, the meaning of the Net's existence will vanish.

The Qin laws were harsh, and the law itself represented order; severe punishments and harsh laws were the manifestation of this extreme order.

For such a world, the Net will transform from a weapon in the hands of the Empire into its enemy!
Even the strategists were the same; without the warlords in the chaotic world, how could there be the saying, "When a lord is angry, the warlords tremble; when the world is at peace, all is calm"?
All the wise men of the past sought a way to save the world.

However, their knowledge was passed down to those who learned it in later generations.

However, due to insufficient character and talent, and unintentional or deliberate misunderstandings, they were ultimately distorted into techniques for creating chaos in the world!

Even Mo Yu himself was no exception, attempting to halt the wheels of history for his own pleasure.
No, it's not a standstill; it's just that they want to replace the person sitting on the throne with him.

If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life!
No man could resist the allure of those eight characters, especially one snatched from Ying Zheng.

"Your silence has already given me an answer." Mo Yu threw a bamboo strip from his pocket and stuck it diagonally into the ground.

Even enemies can cooperate if it's for mutual benefit.

Yan Ri did not appear, but his gaze was fixed on the bamboo strip, his pupils shrinking: "Lian Po?!"

Mo Yu chuckled: "This was originally the target of your Luo Wang (Net of Heaven)."

"Can I ask why?"

"In this era of great strife, the strong prevail, and the weak perish. He's blocking my way!"

Looking up at the gentle smile beneath the straw hat, he seemed to finally see the other person's true face.

This is by no means some kind of chivalrous knight-errant, but rather someone like him, someone with ambition!

A snake cannot function without a head, nor can it function with multiple heads.

With Lord Xinling dead, Lian Po, who was qualified to become the leader of the alliance, naturally attracted more attention, and King Wei was weighing the pros and cons of promoting him.

But Mo Yu also coveted this position. He didn't want to give way to someone else, and there was only one spot available. So, he had no choice but to send this veteran general to his death. Besides, was Lian Po truly as capable as one of the four great generals of the Warring States period?
In the Battle of Changping, Wang He dominated the attack.

In April, He attacked Zhao. Zhao sent Lian Po as general. Zhao soldiers attacked Qin scouts, and the Qin scouts killed Zhao's subordinate general, Qie.

In June, they captured the Zhao army and took two forts and four officers.

In July, the Zhao army built fortifications and fortified their position. Qin attacked their fortifications again, captured two officers, defeated their ranks, and seized the western fortifications.

Lian Po fortified his defenses to await Qin, but Qin repeatedly challenged him, and Zhao's troops did not come out.

Before Bai Qi even made a move, Lian Po had already suffered defeat after defeat.

If Wang He and Meng Ao's brilliance hadn't been so overshadowed by Bai Qi, Sima Qian wouldn't have given these two their own separate biographies.

What merit or ability did Lian Po possess to be ranked among the Four Generals?

This old man, instead of quietly enjoying his retirement, insists on jumping out and competing with young people for jobs.

What could Mo Yu do? He could only see him off.

There is no place for such old things on the ships of the new era!

"I will tell Lian Po that you intend to assassinate him, so that he will create an opening and set a trap to capture you." Mo Yu looked up at the blood-red sun on the horizon, his bright and restrained eyes analyzing and absorbing the sword intent.

"Then you tell me about his plans in advance, making the flaws come true." Yan Ri was unaware that his mind was completely absorbed by Mo Yu's words.

"You only have one chance." Mo Yu blinked, yawned, and her dry eyes became slightly moist.

The sword intent contained within the Sun-Covering Sword is indeed sufficient to support a person to reach the Great Perfection of the Celestial Realm; analyzing it is truly a laborious task.

"How do I know if the information you gave me is true? Perhaps this trap was set for me." Yan Ri was already somewhat tempted, but felt fear and distrust towards this terrifying enemy.

Mo Yu said jokingly, "I have uprooted the Luo Wang in Wei. You can choose to kill Lian Po and barely manage to give an account to Lü Buwei; or you can choose to gamble on your value to the Luo Wang and bet that your name will not appear on the Luo Wang's assassination list!"

His tone was flippant, as if he were teasing someone.

When he gives you a choice, you can only choose the path he wants you to take.

In the darkness, the knuckles of the man gripping the sword turned white from excessive force, and his gaze beneath the mask was extremely unsettled.

"It's all about interests; your life isn't even as valuable as Lian Po's."

Mo Yu's figure flashed from the eaves to the village entrance, and he turned his head to look back: "However, if I judge that you cannot kill Lian Po, then I will use your life to gain his trust."

"Keep it up, don't let me down!"

Having achieved his goal, he didn't linger with Yan Ri any longer and disappeared from the village in a few steps.

Yan Ri finally revealed himself, his gaze fixed on Mo Yu's disappearing figure, his expression uncertain.

Just as Mo Yu said, he had no other choice!

To deliver on their promise, either Lian Po's head or the 'Six-Fingered Qin Demon''s' head must be taken.

But he had no confidence in the latter case.

"Lord Hidden Sun."

Not far away, the severely wounded Qian Sha lay on the ground, his blood staining the dust, staring in terror at Yan Ri as he slowly approached.

Gen Shi and Li Wu were taken away by Mo family disciples under Mo Yu's orders, leaving only Qian Sha, who was of little value to him.

"Sigh~" Yan Ri looked down at him, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and sighed.

Without hesitation, he thrust his greatsword down, the blade piercing Qian Sha's heart. Blood gushed out, and his terrified gaze quickly dimmed.

Some things are better known to as few people as possible.

Moreover, today's defeat is by no means a glorious affair.

Yan Ri slowly drew his sword, drops of blood dripping down the blade. He stood still in the darkness, his gaze complex.

He not only has to face Lian Po's trap, but also has to be wary of Mo Yu's schemes. In this game, he has no way out.

But if he can pull through and cooperate with Mo Yu, who is equally ambitious, perhaps he will have a chance to go even further.
