To the First Emperor of Qin: The state has decreed this!

At that moment, Zhang Fan was holding a ramrod in his hand.

He was extremely excited, poking around under the stove.

He not only fanned the fire to make it extremely hot, but he even threw in a few pieces of pine resin, watching the flames leap high into the furnace, having a great time.

Hearing what Fusu said!

Zhang Fan turned his head, a smile appearing on his face, which was glowing red in the firelight.

He chuckled and said as he stuffed firewood in:

"What do you know?"

"Fire is so much fun!"

Zhang Fan patted the ash off his hands, his eyes fixed on the leaping crimson flames, and said softly:

"Now that the game has begun!"

"Then let the fire... burn even brighter!"

Speaking of which...

Zhang Fan suddenly turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Fusu with a half-smile, asking:

"Oh, right!"

"Try to guess what those two human skin masks you just put on!"

"Who was it that disguised themselves as the two of us and rode off on horseback...?"

"what?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment, and several big question marks instantly appeared on his forehead.

He frowned, squatted down by the stove, and began to rack his brains.

"Could it be Miss Luo Ying and Miss Luo Li?"

As soon as the thought crossed Fusu's mind, he shook his head and rejected it.

That's not right!

Luo Ying and Luo Li are petite!

That would insult an assassin's intelligence!

"Could they be suicide soldiers selected from among the five hundred elite warriors?"

Fusu stroked his chin, his brows furrowing even deeper.

It's neither this nor that...

Fusu, his face smeared with two streaks of black ash, thought for a long time, feeling as if his brain was about to get tangled up.

I just can't figure out who it could be!

"teacher……"

Fusu wore a bitter expression, completely giving up on thinking.

"The student is dull-witted; he went through all the accompanying personnel in his mind!"

"I really can't think of who it could be..."

"Stop keeping me in suspense, who is it?"

Seeing Fusu's pained expression, Zhang Fan could no longer suppress his smile.

He mysteriously beckoned with his finger, gesturing for Fusu to come closer.

Then.

Zhang Fan lowered his voice and said a few words.

Hearing this!

Fusu's eyes widened suddenly, and he was stunned for a full three seconds.

Then, with a "pfft" sound!

Fusu suddenly covered his mouth, his whole body shaking with laughter, tears almost streaming down his face:

"T-Teacher...you're so mean!"

……

at the same time.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the setting sun.

Just then!

Zhang Fan and Fu Su, who were running wildly ahead, suddenly diverged at a fork in the road and ran off in two different directions!

"Damn it! They split up and ran away!"

The assassin leader's expression changed, and he burst into curses.

At this time.

The sound of hooves was rapidly approaching from behind, and billowing dust rose into the sky.

It was Wang Li leading a hundred heavily armored Qin cavalrymen who caught up with them with murderous intent!

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the assassin leader!

My heart skipped a beat!

She immediately drew her long sword and roared angrily, giving the order:

"Splitting into two teams!"

"Thirty men on the left, go after the eldest prince of Qin!"

"Thirty men on the right, follow me! Let's capture that immortal master!"

"Everyone else, form a battle formation on the spot and hold off the Qin soldiers behind us!"

"We must not let them ruin our grand plan!"

"promise!"

The remaining hundred or so suicide soldiers were all converted into infantrymen and drew their weapons.

And then.

Wang Li, mounted on his warhorse, looked at the hastily assembled Chu soldiers ahead with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Hahaha! A bunch of idiots!"

Wang Li raised his heavy sword, pointed it forward, and shouted:

"Brothers! Those blocking our way are all unarmed infantry and hastily assembled troops!"

"We are the heavy cavalry of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

"Charge! Crush them!! Disrupt their formation!"

"kill!"

On the other side...

The assassin leader rode a fast horse, his eyes fixed on Zhang Fan ahead.

Because that horse had been pricked with a needle by Luo Li before!

Once the effects of the medicine wore off, the speed noticeably slowed down.

"You can't escape!!"

The assassin leader roared and stomped his feet on the horse's back, launching himself into the air!

"Bang!"

He landed precisely on Zhang Fan's back, and the two of them instantly tumbled off the horse and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Ugh... Waaah!!"

Zhang Fan was thrown around in a daze. When he turned around and saw that hideous face, he was terrified.

He opened his mouth to shout:

"Help! I am..."

However, the leader of the assassins would never give him a chance to ask for help.

Before Zhang Fan could utter a word!

The leader moved with lightning speed, grabbing his chin and tearing off a piece of rag, stuffing it into his mouth!

Followed by.

In no time, he tied him up tightly with a specially made cowhide rope and carried him back to his horse.

"Hahaha! What a load of rubbish about being a celestial master!"

"Didn't it still fall into my hands?"

The leader dusted off his hands, overjoyed, and laughed heartily.

Not long after.

The other team that was chasing "Fusu" also successfully turned back and rejoined.

On horseback lay another "eldest son of Qin," bound hand and foot with a rag stuffed in his mouth.

The two men on horseback looked at each other, then at the murderous assassins around them.

His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with terror and grievance.

"Waaaaah!"

The two of them shook their heads frantically, sobbing in their throats!

"Oh? Still not convinced?"

The assassin leader rode forward, looked at the two men shaking their heads frantically, and let out a contemptuous sneer:

"Why are you shaking your head? Weren't you quite capable when you were running?"

"The lofty and unapproachable Grand Master of Qin? The incomparably noble eldest son of the royal family? Now he's being tied up like a dog!"

"Behave yourselves! Once you get to Lord Xiang Liang's territory, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Their eyes were red, and they twisted and turned frantically in despair, tears welling up in their eyes.

But nobody paid any attention to them, let alone untied them.

Hearing the battle cries of Wang Li leading his troops in the distance, the leader knew that the men left to cover the rear wouldn't last long.

He immediately brandished his longsword and shouted sharply:

"Target acquired! Everyone, retreat!"

"Get out of this canyon quickly!"

At their leader's command, the remaining dozens of elite assassins, binding Zhang Fan and Fusu, frantically whipped their horses, transforming into streaks of black shadows as they swiftly vanished into the twilight.

It had only been a short time since they left.

Wang Li led a hundred heavily armored cavalrymen of the Qin Dynasty, covered in blood, and chased them to this open space.

however.

There was no trace of the enemy ahead, only billowing dust and the receding sound of horses' hooves.

"Whoa!"

The centurion at the front suddenly pulled on the reins, staring at the empty fork in the road with a look of utter desperation.

He turned his head abruptly, his face covered in blood, his voice filled with terror:

"General! Something terrible has happened! The thieves have escaped!"

"The Immortal Master and the Eldest Young Master... have not been found! They may have been kidnapped!"

These words were spoken.

The surrounding soldiers immediately erupted in chaos, their eyes turning red with anxiety, and they felt a chill run through their bodies!

The immortal master and the eldest son were kidnapped by thieves right in front of them?
