Patriarch Zuo looked at Yuan Qing with eyes full of shock and fear.
Qi Qi was right. Yuan Qing's strength was really terrifying. It seemed that even though he was severely injured by Lu Yan's snare back then, the alliance leader still retained his strength and was still strong.
"Hahaha, this Yuan Qing's strength is really amazing, and he is worthy of being an outstanding figure that you value, leader. If such strength were placed in the sword discussion conference not long ago, the sensation he would have caused would never be less than that of the fifteen-year-old
The most accomplished swordsman of Qin."
After the Zuo patriarch praised him, he reprimanded his son: "Zuo Yin, now you know that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. Why don't you apologize to the leader of the alliance?"
Zuo Yin was standing there blankly, his body's linear and shapely muscles soaked in dense beads of sweat, glistening under the sunlight.
When his father told him, he came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed his head to Yuan Qing and clasped his fists: "Your Excellency is very powerful, I am far from your opponent."
"Mr. Fan, this junior is rude and disturbs the senior's enjoyment of the banquet. Please punish me."
Fan Shanren squinted his eyes and looked at him up and down, and then said with admiration: "Jianghu people, it is really a great pleasure to fight and fight at the banquet, how can it be said to be disrespectful. Your father and I are both very happy to see it, so why should you punish us?
.”
After hearing this, the Zuo clan leader looked as usual and happily invited him and Yuan Qing to return to the banquet.
The atmosphere after returning to the banquet was very different from before. Without a few words of laughter, Patriarch Zuo asked the main point: "Leader, you are personally out this time, but the Iron-Blooded Alliance is about to make large-scale actions."
Zuo Xuan and Zuo Yin were all attentive, waiting for Fan Shanren to speak. Only Yuan Qing was still eating and drinking.
Fan Shanren put down the chopsticks in his hands and sighed: "Oh, Iron Blood Alliance, after all these years of hard work, the Iron Blood Alliance is no longer the Iron Blood Alliance it used to be.
At that time, Lu Yan planned Qin's first battle in the east and launched a massive attack on Wei. Wei, with Lian Po as its general, resisted to the death. Lord Anling, a short-sighted fool, made money from the country's financial difficulties and was used by Lu Yan, leading to Wei's defeat.
.
It was during that battle that Lu Yan realized the huge threat posed by the Iron Blood Alliance secretly controlling merchants all over the world. After the death of Lord Anling, Qin never relaxed its monitoring of Wei's market. This situation extended to Zhao
country, and even the entire Three Jin Dynasties.
After so many years, the Iron Blood Alliance has weakened to its lowest point in history."
When Yuan Qing heard this, he looked at him with contempt while drinking.
Fan Shanren pretended not to notice this at all. He raised his glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and laughed, "At the sword discussion conference, the Green Light Sword, the Purple Cloud Sword, and the Ben Lei Sword, these people are no longer
As a trap, it was clear that he was escaping from the Qin State. This means that there must have been huge changes in the Qin State that were unknown to the outside world.
Lu Yan is dead and his network has collapsed. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to do something, I, as the leader of the alliance, may really be regarded as a coward and be deserted by everyone."
Chief Zuo held the wine glass in one hand, lightly touched the rim of the glass with his lips, took a sip, put down the glass and said: "The leader of the alliance is far-sighted, and everything he sees is far-sighted. In the previous civil war in Chu, if the leader of the alliance had not reminded me, my Zuo clan would have been like this
Like Mr. Qu, he has been manipulated to the point where he is dead in name only."
"Oh, Chief Zuo, you said countless good things to me about this matter a few years ago, but I'm tired of hearing it."
"The kindness of the whole clan is nothing. No matter what, I, the Zuo clan, will firmly support the leader of the alliance."
Fan Shanren grabbed his chopsticks again, took a bite of food at random, chewed it carefully, and said with emotion: "People's hearts are unpredictable. The Bao family in Qi State and the Lu family in Qin State have shrunk in the past few years. They have no regard for me."
This alliance leader may not have the same intentions as the Zuo Clan leader."
Hearing this, Patriarch Zuo had deep wrinkles on his forehead, "There is almost no news about the Lu family in the Qin State, but I have heard some news about the Bao family in the Qi State before."
"oh?"
"I heard that Mr. Bao is quite close to the Prince of Qi, Tian Sheng."
"Prince Tian Sheng, the prince who strongly advocates uniting Chu and Yan to fight against Qin. It seems that Bao has made his own decision when I, the leader of the alliance, can't hide."
Fan Shanren sneered, not hiding his murderous intention, "The Three Kingdoms Alliance is really so powerful in resisting Qin. Can it give him hope of defeating Qin? It's a pity that he made the wrong choice."
This is the most critical and core thing. Chief Zuo asked tentatively: "Does the leader mean that we want to side with Qin?"
"Clan Leader Zuo, remember what I said before. In the eyes of an overlord, an organization like the Iron Blood Alliance will never be tolerated."
"Then this...isn't it the Qin State?"
"Yes, Qin will not let go of the Iron Blood Alliance."
Hearing these words, Patriarch Zuo's face became extremely ugly, "Well, it's not good to side with Qin, but side with the Three Kingdoms Alliance... However, I think Qin has a higher chance of winning."
Fan Shanren said quietly: "The world is changing, and Qin is no longer the Qin it used to be."
"how do I say this?"
"Lu Yan, he is dead. As long as he is in the Qin State, these secret surveillance eyes will never let up. But he is dead. Now, what is the secret intelligence and supervision organization of the Qin State?"
"One is directly under the King of Qin, like a maggot attached to a bone, like a shadow guard. The other one is naturally a snare, and is now in the hands of Tingwei Li Si."
"Li Si, Lu Yan's senior brother. This senior brother contributed a lot to Lu Yan's death."
"What?" Chief Zuo was shocked. He knew all the internal news about the Qin State. Why didn't he see that Lu Yan's death had anything to do with Li Si?
"From the beginning of the Sword Discussion Conference, Ju Shuang personally admitted that Lu Yan was dead. She and the Qingguang Sword had been with Lu Yan for more than ten years, and now they no longer serve the Qin State.
Is it so easy to escape from Qin's trap? What's more, as Lu Yan's confidants, they must know many secrets inside the trap. Even if Lu Yan dies, they can still hold high positions in the trap.
There is only one explanation for the Qingguang Sword, Ziyun Sword, and Thunder Sword appearing in the Sword Discussion Conference. They have become hostile to the Qin State. And the only reason for the hostility is Lu Yan's death."
"Lu Yan's death was caused by Qin Guo?!"
"Now that Tingwei Li Si is in charge of Luo Sheng, how can Luo Sheng be so good?"
"The news of Lu Yan's death has not been confirmed before. There was a massive search within the Qin State. At that time, the Tianzi First Class who was dispatched by Luowang had..." Chief Zuo searched through his memory and said as he thought, "There is true strength, covering the sun, and monsters.
Forehead……"
"That's enough." Fan Shanren waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for him to continue racking his brains, "True strength, concealing the sun, these two are top notch, what other deeds have they accomplished."
"Ah! That's it." Zuo Patriarch understood now and exclaimed, "Luo Wang Tianzi is a first-class man who hides his true strength. He intercepted and killed Zhanlu Sword Master Chen Xiao with the intention of seizing the divine sword. That incident made eight Confucians
The sect united and expelled Lu Yan from Confucianism. Even Master Xun no longer recognized this disciple. This matter was done by Li Si."
Fan Shanren nodded, "Given Lu Yan's martial arts, he disappeared into Qin without anyone noticing. There is no other explanation except that Qin planned it himself.
Li Si, when Lu Yan was famous all over the world, he was unknown. It was Lu Yan who gave him a push. Now, Li Si has done a lot to murder Lu Yan. Such a person, unlike Lu Yan, is completely helpless
