With the help of Xiong Qi and Xiong Lin, Cheng Qiao was much more relaxed than before. He only had to write comments on the submitted documents.
The two of them were very dedicated to their work. After leaving office, they immediately went to the temporary residence of the Chamber of Commerce to help, and they stayed busy until late at night before returning home.
This guy Xiong Qi is not only very capable in dealing with things, but also good at dancing. He gets along very happily with hundreds of scholars and wealthy businessmen all over the world.
Xiong Lin also has a strong ability to handle affairs. With the cooperation of the two, matters of the Chamber of Commerce were promoted very quickly.
However, the people who set up the trap did not find any signs that Xiong Qi was colluding with certain people for the time being. Cheng Qiao had been paying close attention to it secretly. When he saw this, he thought he had guessed wrong.
It wasn't until late one night that a dark figure flashed into Xiong Qi's mansion and stayed there for a full hour before going out. The person who set up the trap was afraid of alerting the enemy, so they did not pursue it and reported it to Cheng Qiao.
After weighing the situation, Cheng Qiao decided not to arrest him, but asked Zhanri to send experts to find out the identity of the black shadow.
After receiving the order, Zhanri dispatched Xuanjian. Two days later, he followed the shadow back to an inn in the city. Then he checked further and found that the inn here was one of the farmers' strongholds in Xianyang City.
Cheng Qiao was slightly surprised when he received the news. He didn't expect that Xiong Qi would hook up with Tian Guang so early.
Then I felt lucky. I was lucky that the person who caught the trap didn't act rashly, otherwise he would have alerted the enemy.
When meeting various scholars in the mansion, Cheng Qiao once met Tian Guang. Although this person's strength did not reach the level of a half-step master, let alone a grand master, he was a solid first-class master.
If you want to win a master of this level, you need three masters of the same level to ensure that everything is foolproof.
Two masters of the same level may not be able to win. As the opponent is a farmer, it is a high probability that he has a desperate trump card.
Let the killer who is spying on Xiong Qi take action, just to die, and to 100% alert the enemy.
Cheng Qiao asked Xuan Jian to withdraw and asked Zhan Ri to monitor him personally. He wanted to see what tricks Xiong Qi and Tian Guang were up to...
In terms of concealment ability, there is no killer in the net better than Hidden Sun, Hidden Sun's sword intent is very suitable for concealment.
On the night of the third day, Cheng Qiao learned that Tian Guang had slipped into the Qin State's Shaofu, but he came out not long after.
Cheng Qiao sneered after receiving the news. The formulas and production techniques of the three types of paper were only available here and in his workshop. There was no spare in the Shaofu. Going to the Shaofu was just a waste of time.
He was the leader of Luo Sheng, and his mansion was extremely well guarded. It was expected that Xiong Qi and Tian Guang would not dare to take their ideas to him, and would probably make their plans in the workshop.
However, nothing is absolute, and it is not certain that Xiong Qi and Tian Guang really took the courage of a leopard. Out of caution, Cheng Qiao secretly made arrangements at the mansion.
On the surface, it looks no different than usual, but in fact, there is a dragnet set up with information on the papermaking formula and production process.
Cheng Qiao is looking forward to what method Xiong Qi will use to obtain papermaking skills. Should he start from him or from the workshop?
Three days passed, nothing happened, everything was normal.
On the morning of the fourth day, Xiong Qi came to visit Cheng Qiao and said that everything was ready and he was just waiting for the paper to be shipped out of the warehouse. He came to ask for Cheng Qiao's order.
The workshop is extremely tightly guarded and has long been taken over by the military. Officers, soldiers, craftsmen, workers, etc. are not allowed to enter or leave.
The surrounding area was surrounded by military camps for ten miles. Anyone who dared to step out of the workshop or had any problems with the procedures would be besieged by the wolf-like Qin army and executed on the spot.
If you want to enter or leave the workshop, you can only hold Cheng Qiao's Jun Ling. Even if others hold Lu Buwei's Prime Minister's Ling, Ying Zheng's Wang Ling will be executed. In special times, only Jun Ling of Cheng Qiao will be recognized.
Cheng Qiao gave his order to Xiong Qi, then sat on a sandalwood carved chair with a cup of tea and thought about what he would do if he was in this situation...
There are only two places where you can get formula crafts, and Xiong Qi is not sure that there are formula crafts in his mansion. He can only be sure that there must be formula crafts in the workshop.
In the past few days, everything in the mansion has been as usual. The other party has not come, which means that he will not come later, so the only target is the workshop.
In view of the special nature of the workshop, the other party has to enter the workshop to have a chance to get it, and his Jun Ling is the only way to get it. Such a thing will definitely not cause Xiong Qi to get himself involved, so he must clear his suspicions.
In this case……
"Someone is coming!"
…
Since papermaking requires a large amount of water, there is a need for confidentiality, and papermaking will cause serious pollution, the papermaking workshop cannot be located in Xianyang City. The new papermaking workshop is located in the mountains where a tributary of the Wei River flows in the west of the city.
Therefore, if you want to go to the papermaking workshop, you naturally have to go out of the city.
Xiong Qi was sitting in a rather luxurious carriage, followed by hundreds of soldiers. The carriage slowly drove from the spacious official road and turned into a trail specially built for transporting paper.
Although it was September at this time and it was already the end of autumn, the dense jungle around the road had not completely withered away, and the manpower could still be hidden, but it had to be spread out.
call out!
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of sparrows, and swordsmen wearing light blue scarves, wearing light blue costumes, and holding sharp swords sprang out from the jungle on both sides of the road.
These swordsmen rushed out relative to each other, and their figures soared into the air, intertwining with each other, like eagles hunting for prey. The sharp swords in their hands accurately passed through the unprotected necks, and bright blood flowers bloomed in the air.
The small number of cavalrymen on horseback were the first to suffer. They were targeted from the beginning. After a round of attacks, the twenty cavalrymen guarding the carriages all widened their eyes and fell to the ground unwillingly.
"Protect your lord, protect your lord!" The charioteer on the carriage pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and roared loudly.
Faced with the sudden attack, although the guarding Qin army panicked for a while, they quickly calmed down under the command of the centurion, and bravely rushed towards the attackers with spears in hand.
The soldiers of the Qin army were very brave, but there were thirty people who attacked them. Thirty of them were killed in a sneak attack. Moreover, these soldiers were superb in swordsmanship. In the melee, the soldiers of the Qin army were no match at all. They were killed within a few moves. The screams kept ringing out...
In the carriage, Xiong Qi was not panicked by the attack. He sat calmly with a slight curl in his mouth.
"Sure enough, there are thieves with evil intentions, leaving five alive and killing all the others!"
Suddenly a cold and stern sound sounded, and Black and White Xuanjian appeared with a large group of uniformed killers. The number seemed to be twice as many as the attackers, and they rushed towards the battlefield like hungry wolves.
Xuan Jian's figure suddenly flashed, and none of the four attackers reacted. A line of blood appeared on their necks, and thick blood mist sprayed out, which was even more poignant than the previous blood flowers.
The intervention of Tianzi's first-class killer was like a novice village for a max-level boss, or like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The attackers who were beating up Qin's soldiers were even more vulnerable in Xuanjian's hands, unable to take a single move.
Xuan Jian didn't use any sword moves. He just relied on the rapid speed of his sword to kill indiscriminately. With the help of other snare killers and the soldiers who were still alive, it was said that it was a fight, but actually it was more appropriate to say massacre.
When the surviving attackers saw that the situation was over, they killed themselves with their swords without hesitation.
In the carriage, the curvature at the corners of Xiong Qi's mouth disappeared, and he opened the silk curtain with an expressionless expression. Seeing the scene outside, he tightened his grip on the box and sighed secretly in his heart.
The trick of stealing the sky and exchanging it for the sake of suffering is no longer useful.
Fortunately, he was cautious and did not use peasant disciples, but dead soldiers. Otherwise, all the peasant strongholds in Qin State would probably have been taken in.
This Chang'an Lord actually sent a snare killer to follow and protect him today without notifying him in advance. It is really unreasonable!
It should be protection, not surveillance, right?
If it's surveillance, that's troublesome.
Be cautious and be more careful with this person in the future.
When Xuan Jian saw this, he immediately understood who these people were. He sheathed his sword and turned around to take a deep look at the carriage...
"Luo Wangxuanjian came late to help, which frightened Master Xiong. Please forgive me, Master Xiong."
In the carriage, Xiong Qi had to put on a smile and get up...
