Qin Shi Ambitious

"There are six halls in a farmhouse. Which hall is it in the farmhouses in South Korea?"

"The lands of Han and Wei belong to the Siyue Hall." Wei Zhuang held the Shark Tooth Sword upright in front of him and supported it with his hand: "Your new friend is from the Farmer's Family."

His tone was full of certainty.

"It is a farmhouse, but not the Siyue Hall, but the Gonggong Hall."

"Lu Wei?" The current master of the quicksand immediately guessed the candidate.

Zhang Liang raised an eyebrow slightly: "What, is this person the target of Quicksand?"

"Anyone can be a target of quicksand."

At this point, a cold glint in his eyes beneath his gray eyebrows swept over him: "Although there are many disciples of the Farmer's School, in recent years, Lu Wei has been the most active. Among the Gonggong Hall, only this Hall Master is someone you can call a new friend."

"It seems you know about the same things as I do."

At this point, Zhang Liang turned his gaze to Chi Lian, who had remained silent. Liu Sha didn't know much about the problems of farmers, so he needed to make other plans: "What exactly is Liu Sha's purpose in coming to Sanghai this time?"

"Many people who don't usually show up will gather here for the Confucian leader's change of leadership ceremony."

"Liusha has received several missions, and the target happens to be Sanghai."

Wei Zhuang had no intention of hiding his intentions.

"Becoming a killing machine...is this what quicksand is all about now?"

Feeling the already chilly sea breeze, Zhang Liang's tone carried a hint of regret.

"To be or not to be, no one would choose the latter!"

The speaker here is the former Princess Hongryeon of Korea...

------

The summit meeting of the Luo Wang organization in Xianyang City was cancelled.

Because now, only one leader of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) remains.

That was Zhao Gao, the eunuch who enjoyed the deep trust of the current King of Qin.

The other competitor is out.

Someone had to step forward and take responsibility for the assassination of Gan Luo, the Qin envoy, within Qin territory. And the assassin who attacked Gan Luo happened to be one of the Six Sword Slaves.

The Six Sword Slaves were trained by Zhao Gao's rival in the Luo Net, but now, this elite assassin group has become the murder weapon of the final victor...

Assassinating Gan Luo would not only eliminate the external threat who knew the secrets of the Luo Wang organization, but also force his "good partner" who had joined forces with him to eliminate the other leaders of the Luo Wang organization to step down through the hands of the King of Qin. What a brilliant plan!

"The Qin state only needs one voice, and the Luo Wang (a secret police organization) only needs one voice."

Enjoying the taste of power, Zhao Gao shook the blood-red wine in his hand, yet he also rationally understood that the internal strife had weakened the Luowang organization to an immense degree.

But that doesn't matter. As the Qin army continues its conquests of other states, more death row inmates and wild assassins will join the Luo Wang network and become its swords.

Having undergone both destruction and reconstruction, the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) will undoubtedly become even stronger... However, the assassins at all levels of the Luo Wang are still somewhat weak at present. Compared to the powerful schools of thought in the martial arts world, they do not have a clear advantage.

Before all this, one must find a legitimate master to cover up the weakness of the net and the weakness of oneself.

For example, Lord Li Si, who has a bright future in the imperial court, is a great candidate!

Zhao Gao drank the blood-red liquor in one gulp, then stood up. Calculating the time, he realized the king should be dealing with state affairs now, and he needed to hurry and attend to him.

"My lord, intelligence has arrived from Daze Mountain."

The black-clad assassin who had been waiting outside the door immediately knelt down and reported when Zhao Gao came out.

"What's the matter?"

The soft, feminine voice made the assassin stiffen; he lowered his head even further.

"The autumn toad has sent a message."

"According to his investigation, Lu Wei of the Gonggong Hall of the Farmers secretly took in Jing Ni, a former top-tier assassin, and used Jing Ni's power to kill Tian Zhong, who was blocking his way, so that he could succeed as the head of the Gonggong Hall."

"anything else?"

Zhao Gao held his head high, seemingly trying to make up for the humiliation he had caused to the powerful figures in the palace by standing ramrod straight in front of his subordinates.

Lu Wei's taking in Jing Ni did not surprise him. Zhao Gao had already guessed this because the retainers of Xinling Temple had joined Gonggong Hall for no reason.

"And Tian Guang, the leader of the peasant chivalry, hasn't returned to Daze Mountain for many years. He seems to be plotting something alone in Yan."

"Qiu Chan hopes that Luo Wang can capture and kill Tian Guang, and then support him to become the new leader of the Farmer's Clan!"

"So eager~" Zhao Gao's red hair, sticking out from under his tall hat, fluttered in the wind like a flame: "We haven't established new contact with Dazeshan yet, have we?"

"Yes, this is intelligence sent by Qiu Chan using the old method. We haven't sent any new orders to the spiders lurking in Daze Mountain."

"Before this, Qiu Chan also sent two pieces of intelligence, one about Situ Wanli of the Farmer's Four Mountains Hall, and the other about Tian Hu of the Chi You Hall."

“The poison of power truly makes everyone obsessed with its pursuit.” Zhao Gao raised his hand, looking at his pale fingers: “Let’s re-establish contact with Qiu Chan.”

“Tell him: Tian Guang, the Net can help him get rid of it.”

"But the leader of the knights, he wants to fight for it himself."

"To gain the support of the Luo Net, we need to demonstrate our value!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately!" The assassin was about to leave when Zhao Gao called him back:

"No, I'll pass on my message to him three months later."

As the black-clad assassin disappeared, the swordsman from the Luo Wang organization smiled eerily and continued walking towards the main hall of the Qin King's Palace.

Of all the schools of thought in ancient China, the Agricultural School was always the easiest to infiltrate and also the least valuable.

'The two prominent schools of thought, Confucianism and Mohism, have been the most important in the long run, and they have left no flaws...'

'Now that Luo Wang has recruited elite assassins again, we need to pay more attention to these two.'

'However, right now, forming the Six Sword Slaves is more important. My ally is dead, but his suggestion is excellent.'

...

In the Yan Kingdom, at the Golden Terrace Restaurant, Jing Ke, Gao Jianli, and Kuang Xiu were playing music together.

They sang loudly, and the audience below followed quietly.

There are no outsiders here tonight; they are all disciples of the Mohist school from Jicheng.

Most of the disciples were unaware of the assassination plot against Qin, but the mournful music played by Gao Jianli and Kuang Xiu conveyed this sentiment to everyone.

Yan Dan and Qin Wuyang were drinking on the second floor. The two had been close for many years. This assassination attempt on Qin was a dead end, but he was willing to die to repay the Crown Prince's great kindness.

The wine was of excellent quality, but it tasted slightly bitter in Yan Dan's mouth.

This assassination plot determined the fate of many people.

Yan Dan studied Mohist internal skills for many years, and his personality was inevitably influenced by Mohist thought.

He now somewhat understood why the Six-Fingered Black Knight didn't allow Mohist disciples to join the Yan Kingdom's court... But he was still the Crown Prince of Yan!

Between the two identities, the latter still holds the upper hand...

Therefore, this assassination plan, which would completely put the Mohists on the opposite side of the Qin state, must be carried out!

But what Yan Dan didn't know was that another conspiracy was being plotted within his own Crown Prince's residence...

Crown Princess Yan Yun decisively handed over her daughter, who was to be named Princess Gaoyue, to the two women from the Yin-Yang School in front of her.

Yan Fei held the little girl in her arms, and the eerie blue flames on her palms seeped into her body little by little through the fabric.

"You want to kill Yan Yi with your own hands?"

"Yes, I want to peel his flesh open with my own hands."

"Can't Yan Dan help you do this?"

"Of course he can. He is the crown prince of this country. Yan Yi will eventually be abandoned by him, and he has already found out about my hatred."

"If I keep waiting, I'll have my chance to get revenge, but I can't wait any longer!"

"My father, mother, brother... they call out to me in my dreams every day!"

"Their sorrow needs the head of that old thief to be offered as a sacrifice!"

Yan Yun's mental state was very unstable, and the Moon Goddess suddenly felt that this woman also had some talent for learning Yin-Yang arts.

“When I finish educating your daughter, you will naturally get Yan Yi’s head.”

Yan Fei's face was pale due to the rapid loss of Yin-Yang magic.

"I must kill Yan Yi as soon as possible!" Yan Yun's eyes were filled with malice. "I will not expose your plan. After killing Yan Yi, I can commit suicide immediately!"

"You don't need to rush. We will help you complete your revenge within this year."

'This is also the beginning of my own revenge.'

Consort Yan gently placed the sleeping Princess Gaoyue back on the bedside: "Tomorrow night, I can bring Yan Yi to you, but you cannot kill him. I can let you see his suffering, how about it?"

"can!"

Without glancing at her daughter, Yan Yun, dressed in flamboyant attire, nodded emphatically.

Chapter 144 Wei Zhuang

In Zhang Liang's mind, quicksand always held a special place.

The laws of Heaven and Earth must be followed without fail.

Use techniques to detect treachery, and use punishment to stop further punishment!

He witnessed firsthand how this organization, which aimed to change the whole of South Korea, was established with great enthusiasm, rose to fame, encountered setbacks, and ultimately transformed into a completely different entity with the fall of South Korea.

While Zhang Liang felt a pang of regret, he also understood that he was powerless to change the situation. In this era, everyone must learn new ways of surviving.

Before any major changes occur in the world, keeping yourself alive is more important than anything else.

While the Quicksand were also actively seeking change, their method was murder. Zhang Liang, however, had other plans.

He is now the junior disciple who is about to take office as the new leader of the Confucian school.

In this role, Zhang Liang could focus on learning and improving his abilities while actively making connections with other philosophers from various schools of thought.

The desire to restore the kingdom had become an obsession in the subconscious of this young man, who had served as prime minister of the state for five generations.
