Deep in a barren mountain somewhere in the Kingdom of Qin, there was silence.

Suddenly someone was riding a horse galloping on the mountain road, as if there was something important.

Whoosh!

An arrow passed in front of this man, and he was so startled that he immediately pulled on the reins. A group of masked men in black had surrounded him at some point, with no concealment of murderous intent.

This person quickly took out a token from his body, and the group of men in black put away their murderous intent after looking at it.

"I came to report on behalf of Prime Minister Lu. Now I have a very important mission. This is the mission scroll!" As he said that, he took out a locked scroll from his body and threw it towards the leader of the men in black.

"We know, there will be people who will carry out the mission." After the group of men in black agreed, they slowly withdrew into the forest, and finally disappeared.

The man took a breath and wiped the cold sweat from his head. This place was deserted. Along the way, there were not even birds in such a large forest. It was really eerie.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion and reporting to Lu Buwei that the mission was completed, Lu Buwei just said a faint "hmm" and then gave the Six Sword Slave on the side a look.

A flash of sword light flashed, and a blood mark appeared on the neck of the messenger. His eyes widened, and he fell to the ground clutching his neck, with no hope of life left.

Lu Buwei waved his hand and said to deal with it.

Sending such a small person to deliver a message is just to make things easier to deal with later.

On the other side, Luo Wang's mission scroll had been sent to the entrance of a cave. Not long after, a strong suction force suddenly came from the cave and sucked the scroll in.

There were no torches in the cave, but it was as bright as day. There were many glowing crystals on the stone walls, and I didn't know what they were.

The scroll disappeared after being sucked into it.

"Lu Buwei has issued a mission, who will go this time?" A deep voice suddenly sounded in the cave.

"Hmph! The last plan to assassinate Wei Yong was proposed by Lu Buwei, which caused Luo Wang's vitality to be severely damaged. Whichever of you wants to go will go!" Another voice sounded, but it was a burst of dissatisfaction with Lu Buwei.

"This task shouldn't be easy, right?" At this time, a younger voice sounded. The speaker seemed to be young and somewhat interested in this task.

"It's not too difficult to go to Zhao State to assassinate Cheng Jiao. However, due to Cheng Jiao's special status, the team must be led by Tianzi First Class to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Then let me go! But there is no need for the others to come with you. It would be a burden to bring them with you. Just give me all the mission information." The young voice sounded again.

Now that someone has accepted the task, the others will naturally say nothing.

Not long after, a man wearing white clothes and a mask walked out of the cave, holding a long sword in his hand. The whole person seemed to be out of tune with the gloomy scene around him.

After the man in white came out, he walked towards Luowang's intelligence base. His sight quickly attracted the attention of the secret Luowang killer. However, this is Luowang's station, and there are countless experts inside. No one dares to say that they can enter here without anyone noticing.

, so all the Luowang killers guessed that this person was a killer secretly trained by Luowang.

"Sir! I wonder who you are?" At this time, some killers stopped the man in white.

"The word of heaven is first-class, but it is evil!" The man in white held a sword to indicate his identity.

Many killers immediately knelt down: "See you, sir!"

"Take me to get the information about the Tianzi No. 7 mission."

"yes!"

It is said that after Cheng Jiao fled to the State of Zhao, King Yan of Zhao actually met with him and granted him a land in Rao, just to disgust the State of Qin.

After all, the Qin State had sent Meng Ao to attack their Zhao State before, and now the Qin State's son actually rebelled. Although it failed, Zhao State's move was a slap in the Qin State's face, and it was also intended to disturb the Qin people's hearts.

With Cheng Jiao around, the people of Qin will have doubts about whether Ying Zheng is really orthodox. This will have a great impact on Qin. If all the soldiers of Qin think so, then their combat effectiveness will also be reduced. He will not be as good as before, and he will not even obey the king's orders.

And if Ying Zheng dies, then Cheng Jiao, as the son of Ying Yiren, might be able to inherit the throne when he returns to the Qin State. No matter what the situation is, Zhao State will not suffer from this move.

But Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng couldn't tolerate it, so Lu Buwei sent a killer to kill Cheng Jiao. Cheng Jiao's existence had threatened his interests.

Quexie knew Chengjiao's whereabouts. Chengjiao had been granted a title and was on her way to the fiefdom, with only some guards rewarded by King Zhao around her.

For such a simple task, Que Xie was not surprised. After all, he did not accept this task just to become a charming girl.

...

In the Kingdom of Zhao, Cheng Jiao and the others hurried on their way. After being received by King Zhao, Cheng Jiao felt relieved. King Zhao not only promised to protect him, but also gave him a fief. He was overjoyed, and his brother Wang's face must be ugly now.

However, ever since HD came out, Cheng Jiao has always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"Sir, it's getting late, how about you rest at the inn here and start your journey tomorrow?" A man who looked like a guard suggested to him.

Cheng Jiao looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark soon, so she nodded.

The guard went in first to check the situation, and then came out to report: "Sir, the check is completed, there is no problem!"

After getting the answer, Cheng Jiao went in to rest.

After dinner, several people returned to the guest room to rest. They asked for a total of three guest rooms next to each other. Cheng Jiao was in the middle, and the guards lived in the guest rooms on both sides. The leader arranged for someone to keep vigil in front of the door at night. , although they checked and there was no problem, they still need to be cautious.

Cheng Jiao was also very satisfied with the guards given to him by King Zhao. They all performed conscientiously along the way, which made him feel a little more at ease.

After Cheng Jiao fell asleep at night, there were two guards guarding the outside and the inn was closed. At this time, no one noticed that a hole was suddenly burnt out of the window by a stick of incense, and a faint fragrance gradually spread throughout the inn.

The guards guarding the door looked at each other and realized something was wrong. How could such a small inn smell like this?

Just as they were about to issue a warning, two strange shadows appeared behind the two of them, enveloping them and swallowing them.

The black shadow dissipated, and the two of them lost their breath and fell to the ground with fear on their faces. They seemed to have seen a ghost before they died. They didn't make a sound during the whole process.

Outside the inn, the sword in Que Xie's hand has been drawn out. This is also a famous sword. It is one of the eight swords of the King of Yue. It is said to ambush the demons on sight.

The blade of the sword is slender and looks ordinary, but it seems to be surrounded by ghosts and ghosts.

Que Xie waved his sword gently, and countless black shadows engulfed the inn. Everyone in the inn except Cheng Jiao died unknowingly.

Cheng Jiao himself fell into a dream. He dreamed that he came to the inn, but there was no guard at the moment. When he looked back, the way he came had become blurry.

When he opened the door of the inn, the scene inside made him feel like he was entering an ice cave.

The inn was full of corpses, all of which were the corpses of his guards. They died in extremely miserable conditions and looked horrifying, as if they had seen some extremely terrifying ghost.

He turned around and wanted to escape, but the moment he stepped out of the inn, he found that he had stepped into the inn room.

"What on earth...is going on?" Cheng Jiao felt as if all her strength was gradually disappearing and she fell to the ground.

"You're lucky to be on the hit list."

Cheng Jiao raised her head with difficulty, and a white figure appeared in front of her, but at this time he could no longer see clearly. Blood was flowing from his eyes, his vision became blurred, and there seemed to be countless black shadows around him trying to swallow him up.

The white figure waved his hand, only to hear a shrill scream, and Cheng Jiao lost consciousness.

Quexie completed his mission and left, and by the way, a fire burned down the inn.
