People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

"It seems to be about the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon. He sent someone to Wei Wuji's place."

Lü Buwei was not interested in these empty things. He told Yan Ri, "If you can get rid of Wei Wuji, then get rid of him."

"Yes."

After Old Man Zheng left, Lü Buwei had a sudden inspiration.

Meng Ao wanted to become the Great General of Qin, but he needed to wait until the war of alliances was completely over.

He could use the pretext of retaliating against the five countries to prolong this process.

Find an opportunity to make Meng Ao lose once, so that the merits and demerits can be offset.

Miaozai Miaozai.

Lü Buwei continued to review the "Lüshi Chunqiu".

He personally oversaw the final revisions and editing of the Lüshi Chunqiu.

At that time, he would also need King Zheng of Qin to help him promote his "Lüshi Chunqiu".

This collection of writings is the culmination of his efforts and a gift he gave to the State of Qin.

A gift that legitimized and justified Qin's unification of the six states, and ensured its stable rule after unification.

With the alliance settled, it's time to put some reforms and restructuring on the agenda.

……

Xinzheng, South Korea.

A cold-looking man with short white hair was looking down at a piece of intelligence in his hand.

"The five states were defeated and withdrew from Hangu Pass."

He then downed the sake in his cup in one gulp and placed it heavily on the table.

Wei Zhuang walked to the window and looked down at the pedestrians coming and going below the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

He knew that after this alliance, it would be virtually impossible for the countries to form another alliance.

What if he wanted to persuade the various countries to form a new alliance?

It seems impossible.

unless……

A sharp glint flashed in Wei Zhuang's eyes.

Only by putting ourselves in a desperate situation can we survive!

The power of revenge is the strongest force that can unite people's hearts.

He understood the Qin state and its system, and knew that he did not currently have the appetite to annex the six states and govern and pacify their territories.

If the six states were suddenly destroyed by Qin at this time, Qin would not only fail to unify them, but would also cause the remnants of the six states and noble families to cause chaos everywhere, and then unite to resist Qin.

Based on this, could he choose to accelerate the Qin state's pace of conquering the other six states?

What would force the six fallen kingdoms to unite in a final showdown?

Wei Zhuang remained silent for a long time, until the sun set.

It's all just imagination after all; who could have predicted the ending?

A moment later, a charming woman dressed in purple walked in.

"There's news about Han Fei, whom you're interested in. He sent a message to the palace saying that he has completed his apprenticeship at Xiaoshengxianzhuang and plans to travel to various countries before returning to Xinzheng. The exact time is unknown."

Zi Nu could tell that Wei Zhuang was in a bad mood and needed some quiet time.

After saying that, he left.

Wei Zhuang's lips curled slightly, and he stopped thinking about that somewhat presumptuous strategy of forming an alliance.

He and his senior brother completed the Guigu assessment. His senior brother went to the Qin state, and he has only recently arrived in the Han state.

After conducting some investigation into South Korea.

I am very interested in this once most famous nobleman of Korea, a Legalist master who wrote "Five Vermin".

If he truly has the ability, he could try cooperating with Han Fei to create an opening in the current situation in South Korea and enter the political landscape.

He wanted to prove that he was better than his senior!

Wei Zhuang's white hair was blown by the night wind, and a smile played on his lips as he gazed into the deep night sky of South Korea.

Senior, are you... ready?

Chapter 28 Rainy Night, Maybach, Viaduct

As night fell, the rain continued to fall, and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

Cao Ze was driving the donkey, his mind on high alert.

According to the itinerary plan, we will spend the night in that small town we just visited.

However, Jingni discovered traces of the Net in the town.

To avoid being besieged in the town, Cao Ze did not linger and left the town overnight, just as before.

This is the third time.

As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. Cao Ze looked at the arched stone bridge, which was forty or fifty meters long, with some melancholy.

Based on his limited sixth sense, there was no better place than here if the enemy wanted to ambush them.

Jingni suddenly said from inside the donkey cart, "There's someone here."

"who?"

"It's Li Wu."

Jingni said softly, "I left something on her that night, and she's on the stone bridge ahead now."

Cao Ze really wanted to hug Jing Ni and kiss her, but his wife's kiss was so sweet.

"You said that Li Wu is a member of the Eight Linglong Assassin Group. And now Li Wu is hiding on the stone bridge, so does that mean that the Luo Wang sent the Eight Linglong to hunt us down?"

As Cao Ze spoke, he drove the donkey cart toward the stone bridge, avoiding alerting the enemy.

It inexplicably reminded him of a famous scene—a rainy night, a Maybach, and an overpass.

His was rather shabby.

It was a rainy night, but the Maybach became a donkey cart, and the viaduct that was thousands of meters long became a stone bridge that was only tens of meters long.

It doesn't seem to have much of a speed and passion.

Jingni said, "The Eight Linglong are the top assassin group of Luo Wang, second only to the newly formed Six Sword Slaves. Their combined strength is no less than that of the top-tier Heavenly One."

She had only recently become a top-tier rank member, perhaps at her peak, and without any burdens, she was not afraid of being surrounded and attacked by the Eight Linglong.

But now, it's difficult to escape without paying a price.

Cao Ze recalled the description of the Eight Linglong in the original work.

Cheng Jiao is not dead yet, which means that the current Eight Linglong is not an enhanced version of Xuan Jian, and there is still hope.

Do you know how many of them there are?

He vaguely sensed someone in the jungle behind him; it seemed his escape route had been cut off, and the enemy had planned this all along.

Jingni closed her eyes and focused on sensing inside the carriage. "Besides Li Wu, there is another person behind us, who is stronger than Li Wu and is a first-class expert. However, it seems that he deliberately exposed himself."

Cao Ze smiled faintly: "They're trying to force us onto the bridge."

Jingni whispered, "The most threatening of the Eight Linglong is Qian Sha. He is Yan Ri's subordinate, bloodthirsty, and has excellent swordsmanship and lightness skills. Moreover, he seems to possess a mysterious power, which we need to be wary of."

"Is it the power of the Eight Linglong?"

Cao Ze directly revealed Qian Sha's true colors.

Jing Ni became even more serious. If Cao Ze hadn't warned her beforehand, she might have been caught off guard and fallen victim to his attack.

Who would have thought that Inuyasha could possess the remnant soul of a deceased person and use their abilities?

Cao Ze originally planned to catch the enemy off guard after crossing the stone bridge, together with Jing Ni.

However, the other side did not seem to intend to launch a sneak attack.

Li Wu stood with one hand on her hip on a stone pier above the stone bridge, looking at the donkey cart with a complicated expression.

Half a month ago, Lü Buwei personally ordered the pursuit and killing of Jing Ni, a traitor of the Luo Wang organization.

She never expected Jing Ni to be even braver than herself, secretly getting pregnant and directly defecting, which truly "amazed" her.

As expected, they were targeted and hunted down by the Luo Wang organization.

Qian Sha was wearing a straw raincoat and bamboo hat, so his face could not be seen.

Behind him followed a short, scrawny rat, blocking Cao Ze's path.

The scarred-faced General Bi slowly walked out from behind Cao Ze's donkey cart, with six knives stuck in his back. He was the one who planned this ambush.

Cao Ze stood up on the donkey cart, letting the raindrops fall on him.

"Eight-Diamond Dry Kill?"

Qian Sha ignored Cao Ze and instead said to Jing Ni inside the donkey cart, "Lady Jing Ni, the leader of the Sun-Covering Army has a secret order: the next mission is to assassinate Wei Wuji. After the mission is successful, you can return to the Luo Net, and all past transgressions will be forgiven. The child can stay."

Cao Ze sneered, "Leave the child? To continue working as a killer for Luo Wang, risking your life for Luo Wang?"

He would rather die here with Jing Ni than accept his child being trained by the Net to become a killing machine.

"Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji?"

Jing Ni put her fish-scale soft armor combat suit back on, stepped out of the carriage, gripped the pale pink Jing Ni sword, and stared at him with a chilling gaze.

With a clang, Qian Sha drew his sword. "Does Lady Jing Ni refuse?"

Jing Ni whispered, "Leave General Bi and Qian Sha to me."

Upon hearing Jing Ni's words, Qian Sha sneered, "Lady Jing Ni is about to give birth, isn't she? With all your strength, how much of it can you unleash?"

Jing Ni took a step forward, splashing up a spray of rain, her cold, sharp voice echoing through the rain, "That's enough to kill you!"
