Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens

#340 - Suppress the destiny of a country! Assassinate Ying Zheng, besieged on all sides!

Bai Yifei's red and white twin swords were definitely worthy of being listed in the Famous Swords Compendium.

Even so, after only a few head-on clashes with Dong Jun's three-legged golden crow, they were melted and changed shape.

This alone was enough to make people feel just how terrifying Dong Jun's strength truly was.

What made people's scalps tingle even more was that throughout this process, Dong Jun remained elegant, like a noble lady displaying her talents at a court banquet.

She exuded an elegance and composure that filled Bai Yifei's heart with resentment.

If previously, Ying Zheng's focus was on Dong Jun and Bai Yifei, then when Luo Fu casually severed Tian Ze's snake bone chains with a wave of his hand, his attention shifted to Luo Fu.

After all, Ying Zheng knew of Luo Fu's existence when he quietly left Xianyang, as Luo Fu's reputation had become prominent in the seven kingdoms in a short period of time, not only hailed by the Confucianists as a contemporary sage, but also with his scholarship highly praised by the other schools of thought.

However, even with Qin's intelligence channels, they only knew that Luo Fu possessed some Confucian martial arts inheritance.

They had no idea that Luo Fu possessed such terrifying strength.

Although, in this world, the inheritance of doctrines and sects is intertwined, with deeper attainments in doctrines leading to more powerful martial arts cultivation, this is actually a misconception.

Yes.

This perception is undoubtedly wrong!

If strength and sect doctrines were strictly linked, then Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang should not possess such formidable power.

After all, although they are disciples of the contemporary Strategists, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are more like pure Jianghu martial artists, rather than true masters of the art of diplomacy, capable of making lords tremble with anger and bringing peace to the world with their presence.

Besides Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, another example is the Sky Rank assassins of the Net. It should be known that the Sky Rank assassins of the Net are almost like consumables, possessing formidable strength, yet they are all brainwashed by the Net.

Jing Ni is a typical example.

And Han Fei, the great synthesizer of Legalism, is more like a frail scholar.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, how Luo Fu effortlessly severed Tian Ze's six snake bone chains.

Ying Zheng was afraid that he would never have dreamed that a martial arts expert as unfathomable as Luo Fu would emerge from the Confucian disciples.

Who asked Luo Fu to display mostly his skills in magic in front of Ying Zheng before?

"Sir, what a good move!"

Luo Fu, however, acted as if he had done something insignificant, gently nodding his head and saying, "You flatter me, Young Master Shang!"

"Is that Gathering Qi into a Blade, sir?" Gai Nie asked, his eyes flashing.

The only thing that came to Gai Nie's mind upon seeing this method of wielding a sharp Qi blade with a backhand was the Yin Yang School's secret technique, Gathering Qi into a Blade.

It should be known that Gathering Qi into a Blade is one of the Yin Yang School's unique skills, even higher in status than the Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Style that exchanges souls for Qi.

It does not belong to the category of martial arts, but rather Yin Yang magic, a method of condensing True Qi into a blade, with astonishing power.

Apart from the Yin Yang School's Gathering Qi into a Blade, Gai Nie had never seen any other school with such a technique.

Wei Zhuang still had the capital to be proud.

But now, just the Qi blade that Luo Fu displayed with a backhand, capable of splitting snake bone chains comparable to famous swords into pieces, made Wei Zhuang completely feel his own insignificance and ignorance.

While several people were shocked by Luo Fu's Qi blade.

Tian Ze, who bore the brunt of the attack, glared at Luo Fu with resentment, then said with a ferocious expression, "Since you want to save them, then I will kill them, haha, all who betray me must die."

Before his voice faded, Tian Ze rushed towards Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui like a madman.

"Presumptuous."

Wei Zhuang scolded angrily.

With Bai Yifei's defeat sealed.

Tian Ze was naturally no longer in Wei Zhuang's eyes.

After all, without Bai Yifei, it was impossible for the Night to launch a new round of assassinations against Ying Zheng in the short term.

And at this time, it was precisely a good opportunity for them to escort Ying Zheng safely away from Xinzheng.

How could Wei Zhuang take Tian Ze seriously?

Accompanied by Wei Zhuang's angry shout, Gai Nie seemed to be telepathically connected to Wei Zhuang, and the brothers launched a sophisticated cooperation tacitly, beginning to besiege Tian Ze.

Wei Zhuang alone was still able to be on par with Tian Ze, let alone the joint effort of the Strategists now.

Under the combined efforts of the two, the combined attack technique of the Ghost Valley lineage was like a fleeting glimpse of a startled swan.

Alliance and Dissension! Sword Qi traverses.

In a flash, before Tian Ze, who had launched the attack, could even approach Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui.

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie's long swords, shining with a faint light, had already instantly slashed across Tian Ze's body.

His body swayed slightly, and at the moment of collapsing, Tian Ze stubbornly looked towards the direction of Baiyue, and then collapsed directly in front of everyone without even having time to leave a last word.

Tian Ze's death was like a signal.

In the next second after Tian Ze's death.

Bai Yifei, who was being teased by Dong Jun like a cat playing with a mouse, was finally broken through his defenses by a three-legged golden crow, which instantly burrowed into his body.

In the next moment, dragon-like Qi, like feathers, scattered from Bai Yifei's body.

These feather-like dragon-like Qi emitted a terrifyingly scorching high temperature.

In just a short moment, it burned Bai Yifei to ashes, leaving only two lumps of metal containing terrifying high temperatures, one red and one white.

These two lumps of metal were precisely the red and white twin swords that Bai Yifei held in his hands before.

But at this moment, the red and white twin swords were melted into two irregular lumps of metal by the dragon-like Qi.

With Bai Yifei's death, this assassination of Ying Zheng by the Night could only end without success.

Although there were still Snow Garb Fort's guards outside the courtyard, as well as a large number of Korean soldiers.

However, ordinary soldiers who had lost their command were obviously impossible to harm Ying Zheng under the protection of experts such as Luo Fu, Gai Nie, and Wei Zhuang.

"Young Master Shang, this place is not suitable for a long stay. If you don't mind, why not follow me to my residence for a temporary rest?" Luo Fu took the initiative to speak.

"Then I will have to trouble you, sir!" Ying Zheng agreed readily.

Before, when Luo Fu took the initiative to come to him, Ying Zheng did not choose to go with Luo Fu.

The main reason was that Ying Zheng was more concerned about Han Fei, who had written "Five Vermin."

Who asked Han Fei, who had written "Five Vermin," to put into words exactly what Ying Zheng was thinking?

In Ying Zheng's heart, Han Fei was simply the person who understood him the most.

But now, as Ying Zheng obtained the Emperor's Qi, coupled with the various incredible abilities that Luo Fu displayed, his weight in Ying Zheng's heart had surpassed Han Fei in one fell swoop.

This was why Ying Zheng agreed readily and without hesitation to Luo Fu's proposal.

Accompanied by a mysterious and profound force that instantly enveloped everyone present.

In the next moment, as the stars shifted, everyone was shocked to find that they had directly left the previous courtyard.

They appeared in a secluded courtyard with no traces of fighting.

This was precisely Luo Fu's residence.

Scanning his gaze around, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly condensed, and his pupils suddenly shrank like the tip of a needle.

Although his expression remained calm, Ying Zheng truly felt at this moment how incredible the space teleportation that he had previously regarded as a Yin Yang magic technique was.

Although Ying Zheng had never been to Luo Fu's residence.

But he knew about this place.

Before, after Luo Fu took the initiative to come to him, Ying Zheng had specifically asked Gai Nie about Luo Fu's location.

And judging by the distance between his previous residence and Luo Fu's residence.

In that fleeting moment just now, they had crossed a distance of several miles under Luo Fu's incredible means.

This was definitely not something that could be described by the Yin Yang School's spells or illusionary techniques.

It was truly the means of shrinking the earth into inches in myths.

If such ability could be placed on the army, who in the world would be Luo Fu's opponent?

It should be known that since Luo Fu could bring all of them across a long distance of several miles, then who knows if he could bring more people across an even longer distance?

Even if he couldn't, just the current distance. Tell me, what strong city in the world could stop Luo Fu?

No matter how thick the city wall is, it is impossible to reach the extent of several miles.

This also meant that in front of any city, Luo Fu could easily bring a small elite force from outside the city into the city and open the city gate.

It was only now that Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, realized this.

And since Qin rose, with its strength increasing, Xianyang City did not even have city walls.

But in contrast, the six states of Shandong, whether it was Han, Wei, Zhao, or Qi, Yan, and Chu, the cities on strategic locations all had strong city walls.

Once Luo Fu joined Qin, then, not to mention anything else, just his ability to lead elites quietly across the city walls and appear inside the city from outside the city was enough to make all the defense measures of the six states of Shandong useless in front of Qin.

Of course, although Qin's Xianyang did not have a city, Hangu Pass, as the bridgehead for eastward expansion, also lost its meaning.

It should be known that when Qin was weak, even a few years ago, because of the last alliance, Hangu Pass played an extremely crucial role in blocking the advance of the six states of Shandong.

And Luo Fu's existence made the conventional sense of positional warfare completely useless.

A small elite force could cross the pass at any time and appear in the rear, just thinking about it was chilling.

At this moment, the importance originally placed on Luo Fu due to his displayed strength and the special world he discovered that could allow souls to reside permanently, completely surpassed that of Han Fei.

Regardless of how well Han Fei's ideas aligned with Ying Zheng's thoughts, to implement his own ideas, he had to at least ensure that his military strength was sufficient.

And Luo Fu was precisely the existence that could break all of this.

Especially since Luo Fu's true fame throughout the world so far was not his methods or abilities, but his knowledge and wisdom, his scholarship.

Such an existence, whether joining any country, would be enough to bear the responsibility of suppressing the national fortune.

As long as Luo Fu joined any country, then that country, even if facing any crisis, would not be in danger of being destroyed.

Although Ying Zheng instantly made up his mind to trick Luo Fu into joining the Qin state.

But on the surface, he remained calm and rested in the room according to Luo Fu's arrangement.

The next day.

The entire Xin Zheng became turbulent and filled with rumors.

Although Bai Yifei had been stationed outside for a long time, and Ji Wuye, known as the strongest general in a century, was in Xin Zheng City.

But it was undeniable that Bai Yifei's existence did indeed give the upper echelons of Korea a great sense of security.

As the weakest of the seven states, Korea could be said to rely entirely on Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye to support it to some extent.

And Zhang Liang's family served as the internal pillar for the operation of Korea.

But now, Xue Yi Hou Bai Yifei, who could be trusted by King An of Han and lead a strong army of 100,000, disappeared not long after returning to Xin Zheng.

Yes.

Because the assassination of Ying Zheng was contacted by people from Ye Mu and the Qin state, King An of Han was completely unaware of Bai Yifei's actions yesterday.

Especially before Bai Yifei's actions, there was also the incident of the Baiyue group causing chaos.

King An of Han completely regarded Bai Yifei's disappearance as the work of the Baiyue group.

Taking advantage of King Han's misunderstanding, Luo Fu also used the chaos in Xin Zheng as an excuse to request to leave Xin Zheng.

Regarding Luo Fu's request, King An of Han repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but unfortunately, after feeling Luo Fu's determination, King An of Han could only accept it helplessly.

However, in order to save a bit of Korea's last face in Luo Fu's heart.

King An of Han also sent General Ji Wuye to personally lead troops to escort Luo Fu away.

Inside a luxurious carriage.

Luo Fu and Ying Zheng sat opposite each other.

In front of the two, on a chessboard with crisscrossing lines, black and white pieces were placed, and it was already nearing the middle game.

Obviously, Luo Fu and Ying Zheng had been playing chess for some time.

"Young Master Shang, Bai Yifei, who personally took action to assassinate you before, is a subordinate of this Ji Wuye. Isn't the Young Master worried that something unexpected will happen when Ji Wuye escorts us?"

Luo Fu asked with interest.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said easily: "With you here, sir, do I still need to worry?"

Smiling noncommittally, Luo Fu said: "Young Master Shang came to Xin Zheng this time, clearly to see Han Fei, but unfortunately, because of the assassination, he can only return empty-handed. Is the Young Master really willing to accept this?"

"Sir, please don't make fun of me."

Ying Zheng placed a black piece on the corner of the chessboard and said: "I know that although Han Fei is a talent, he cannot help me take power personally."

After a slight pause, Ying Zheng's tone was filled with an arbitrary and unquestionable domineering attitude, saying: "If I personally take power, then even if Han Fei is a Korean Young Master, I can still obtain him."

Luo Fu had to admit that Ying Zheng saw things very clearly.

Perhaps having experienced too much betrayal.

In Ying Zheng's heart, the only thing he truly believed in was absolute power.

Even speaking of it, Ying Zheng cared more about Han Fei's scholarship than Han Fei himself.

This was also why, in the future, after Ying Zheng coerced Korea to send Han Fei to Qin as a hostage, although he had recruited Han Fei, Ying Zheng did not make a big fuss when Han Fei died in prison.

Although there was also the reason that Ying Zheng, although in power, had not completely cleansed the court, the importance of Han Fei's scholarship surpassed that of Han Fei himself, which was an obvious fact.

After Luo Fu nodded in agreement, his expression changed and he said: "Young Master Shang, it seems that the Qin state knows your itinerary very well."

Although it had only been a few hours since Luo Fu left Xin Zheng in Korea.

But at this moment, they had already arrived outside Hangu Pass.

As the smallest city, Korea had indeed reached the end of its strength.

Even if Qin sent troops, they could flatten the entire Xin Zheng in a short time.

Even sitting in the carriage, Luo Fu could still feel the Qin army welcoming Ying Zheng outside Hangu Pass.

The leader was none other than Wang Yi, who was loyal to Wu'an Jun Bai Qi and had harbored resentment for many years due to Bai Qi's death, wanting to rebel and even assassinate the king to avenge Bai Qi.

As an old general of Qin, Wang Yi was still trusted by the Qin court, even though his hair and beard were all white.

He commanded the 100,000 Pingyang heavy armored soldiers of Qin, who deterred Korea and Wei.

This was also Ying Zheng's main goal in leaving Xianyang quietly in disguise this time.

Seeming to notice Luo Fu's expression, although Ying Zheng did not understand profound martial arts, and could not do as Luo Fu did, even sitting in the carriage, he still knew everything that was happening outside by relying on his own perception.

But when he released the aura of the emperor that he had just mastered not long ago, Ying Zheng still quickly understood his situation.

Looking at Luo Fu with deep eyes, Ying Zheng said: "Sir, I wonder what you think of General Wang Yi?"

"He is undoubtedly a loyal minister."

Luo Fu said meaningfully: "But does Your Majesty think that this Wang Yi is loyal to the Great Qin, or to Marquis Wu'an, who once recognized and promoted him?"

At the mention of Marquis Wu'an Bai Qi, even Ying Zheng could not help but feel a little emotional and sighed softly.

The momentary emotion in Ying Zheng's expression disappeared instantly, replaced by unwavering determination.

Perhaps Ying Zheng himself knew in his heart that Bai Qi's death was a miscarriage of justice.

But Bai Qi had been dead for many years, and now it was Ying Zheng who sat on the throne of Qin.

Regarding Wang Yi's resentment towards Daqin and the Ying Qin clan, the only thing Ying Zheng could do was send Wang Yi's three clans to follow Bai Qi.

Before Wu Zixu, the kings of various countries rarely used the method of exterminating the three clans to eradicate the roots, but after Wu Zixu, eradicating the roots became the mainstream of various countries.

Even if he felt guilty towards Bai Qi in his heart, Ying Zheng would never be soft on Wang Yi, who dared to rebel.

Outside the carriage.

Ji Wuye, who was escorting Luo Fu and others, came to Luo Fu's carriage with his own personal soldiers after negotiating with Wang Yi.

"Your Majesty, Minister Wang Yi requests an audience."

Ji Wuye, who had originally come with Wang Yi, was stunned and looked at Wang Yi in astonishment.

Although Ji Wuye also knew that inside the carriage, there was not only Luo Fu, the renowned Confucian sage, but also the Qin King in disguise, who was definitely inside the carriage.

But he did not expect that Wang Yi would say it so directly.

For a moment, Ji Wuye was caught in a dilemma.

In a brief moment of hesitation, Ji Wuye keenly noticed Wang Yi's abnormality.

A bold idea sprouted in Ji Wuye's mind like lightning.

Wang Yi, the Qin general who commanded 100,000 Pingyang heavy armored soldiers, actually wanted to assassinate the king.

The moment he thought of this possibility, Ji Wuye was overjoyed.

You must know that as the master of Ye Mu, Ji Wuye was one of the main culprits who had truly cooperated with the Qin state to assassinate Ying Zheng before.

It was just that Luo Fu took the initiative to bid farewell to King An of Han the day after Bai Yifei's death.

In a hurry, Ji Wuye could not find a suitable reason to attack Ying Zheng.

On this road, Ji Wuye had also thought about killing Luo Fu and Ying Zheng by force.

But unfortunately, the existence of Dong Jun and others, seemingly only women, made Ji Wuye's repeated attempts fail.

Helplessly, Ji Wuye had to grit his teeth and escort Luo Fu and others to Hangu Pass.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it would not take so long to get from Xin Zheng to Hangu Pass.

But at this time, when he realized that Wang Yi, the Qin general in charge of the Pingyang heavy armored soldiers, was going to assassinate the king.

Ji Wuye was immediately moved.

Inside the carriage, Ying Zheng sighed softly and said to Luo Fu: "Next, I will have to trouble you again, sir."

"It is my duty."

Luo Fu said modestly: "Since I want to join Qin, how can I sit idly by and watch Your Majesty fall into trouble?"

Just as Luo Fu's voice fell.

Ji Wuye and Wang Yi seemed to have reached a tacit understanding in a short time.

With a wave of the bronze axe in Wang Yi's hand.

Many of Wang Yi's die-hard personal soldiers suddenly shouted and killed.

Ji Wuye did not hesitate to cooperate with Wang Yi.

The elites of Qin and Han turned their spears at Luo Fu and others in a short time.

"Presumptuous."

Dong Jun shouted angrily, staring at Ji Wuye and Wang Yi and said: "Do you want to assassinate the king?"

Having made up his mind long ago, how could Wang Yi give up because of Dong Jun's words?

After all, in order to avenge Bai Qi, Wang Yi had gambled everything, and even his three clans were not concerned.

Ji Wuye sneered and said loudly to the elite soldiers of Korea under his command: "Go, leave no one alive."

With the cooperation of the soldiers of Qin and Han, Luo Fu and others were instantly surrounded on all sides.

Inside the carriage, feeling the imminent scene, Luo Fu said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, do you need to leave a few alive?"

Shaking his head, Ying Zheng said: "No need, please kill all these people, sir."
