Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

"What is the royal family's material reserves?" Lin Qi wondered to himself.

Yao Jia further explained: "These days, Ma Wenlong has been carrying out the mission of escorting royal resources."

"

"While passing through a remote area of ​​Nanyang County, they were attacked, and the entire group perished."

"

"The loss of three Grandmasters and one Great Grandmaster, coupled with the theft of all royal resources, has enraged His Majesty!"

"Therefore, I was specially ordered to investigate this case, considering that it was no ordinary person to be able to successfully attack an enemy who was at the top of the Grandmaster level."

"

"I alone cannot guarantee victory; I need to cooperate with Central Commander Chen Wangping to face the danger together."

"

"Furthermore, regarding Yan Dan's escape, we need a skilled pursuer, so we have decided to send Right Commander Chen Yan."

"

"After considering all factors, we must entrust the important task of protecting the headquarters in Xianyang to you."

"

After understanding the situation, Lin Qi agreed softly and nodded slowly.

The passing of Ma Wenlong and the looting of royal property are indeed worrying events.

Furthermore, Yan Dan's sudden escape made the already strained manpower allocation even more difficult.

but……

Lin Qi always felt that these major changes that happened one after another seemed too coincidental.

All of these incidents occurred last night, and the victims were all elites of the Black Ice Guard. Is this merely a coincidence?

In other words, it happened overnight.

The Black Ice Platform lost one Grandmaster and four Grandmaster-level experts.

This situation dealt a huge blow to Black Ice Defence.

After a moment's thought, Lin Qi continued to ask, "Are these all cases handled by our Black Ice Bureau?"

It should be noted that the Black Ice Guard is not the only force in Xianyang City.

Black Ice Platform, Net, and Yin Yang School are all places where masters gather.

Although these events are all handled by Black Ice Station, Black Ice Station is currently facing a severe shortage of manpower.

Yao Jia shook his head and replied, "Of course not all."

"Regarding the pursuit of Yan Dan, the Luo Wang organization will take the lead, and we only need to send Right Commander Chen Yan to cooperate."

"As for the investigation into the disappearance of royal resources, in addition to myself and Commander-in-Chief Wang Ping, there were also military professionals and the Yin-Yang School's Grand Master of Fate participating."

The words of the army's chief commander made Lin Qi nod slightly.

They were capable of annihilating a Grandmaster at the peak of the second level, along with three Grandmaster-level experts and over a thousand fierce soldiers.

Furthermore, such abundant royal resources were hidden within the territory of the Qin state.

Clearly, this force is no small matter.

Even Yao Jia and another companion found it difficult to gain the upper hand.

However, with the help of the Grand Master of Fate and the military experts, the situation should be fine.

"That's settled then. I'll leave the affairs of the Black Ice Platform headquarters to you."

"I need to set off immediately to conduct an on-site investigation."

If action is delayed and those royal assets have already been transferred out of the country, the difficulty of recovering them will increase significantly.

The annihilation of the entire transport convoy was a foregone conclusion.

However, the piles of royal supplies were still within Qin territory, and the roads had been blocked, making it unlikely that they could be quickly transported out of the country.

It must have been hidden somewhere by the other party, so the chances of finding it are extremely high.

After hearing these words, Yao Jia emphasized them a few more times before leaving in a hurry.

Lin Qi stopped at the spot, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"These two cases are not simple!"

"Yan Dan, royal resources, the Black Ice Guard, and Lord Changping..."

"I'm afraid this was an operation planned by Lord Changping and the peasants!"

Lin Qi had a broad perspective and quickly deduced the conclusion.

However, even if one understands **, that is, recognizes that Changping-kun secretly manipulates everything,

Without substantial evidence, we remain helpless.

Is it enough to just resort to verbal accusations?

Given his status—a minor commander of the Black Ice Guard with the strength of a Grandmaster at the first level—

In contrast, Lord Changping, as the Right Chancellor,

He held a high position of power and made numerous contributions, assisting Qin Shi Huang in eliminating Lao Ai and purging the remaining followers of Lü Buwei.

Not to mention that he is also the uncle of Prince Fusu, the heir to the throne.

"Forget it, thinking about these things is useless. The most important thing is to improve my personal strength as soon as possible."

"When my strength reaches the point where no one can rival me, everything will fall into place naturally!"

Lin Qi shook his head, trying to clear his mind of his worries.

He then began to handle daily affairs.

same moment.

The headquarters of the Yin-Yang family

A space located deep within the complex.

A pair of graceful women stand facing each other.

The woman on the left is wearing a dark blue long dress and has an elegant face.

The woman on the right is wearing a light blue dress with a moon pattern painted on her vest.

She wore crystal-clear earrings and her face was covered with a light blue veil.

The two are Yan Fei, the eldest princess of the Yin-Yang family, and the Right Moon Goddess.

Behind the veil, Yue couldn't help but frown, revealing a hint of anger: "Fairy Yan, how have you become so crazy in just a few days?"

"You actually gave away the Ji family's heirloom jade talisman to someone else like that?"

"Lin Qi, this little leader, is a citizen of Qin. How dare you defy the rules of our Yin Yang School?"

Women in the Yin-Yang school, especially those from the Ji family, are limited to marriage within the Yin-Yang school if they do not choose to remain single.

The Yin-Yang school now appears to rely on the Qin Dynasty, but in reality, it hides ulterior motives.

Or to put it more directly.

There was a deep-seated, unspoken hatred between the Yin-Yang school and the Qin state!

After hearing this, Yan Fei revealed a mocking expression and said with disdain, "Heh..."

"Are you sure this is a rule of the Yin-Yang school, and not a family rule of the Ji family?"

"You!" Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess's expression turned extremely grave.

"The Yin-Yang School itself is part of the Ji family!"

"If it weren't for our Ji family, how could the Yang School have separated from Taoism more than five hundred years ago and survived peacefully to this day?"

"If it weren't for our covert support, the Yin-Yang School, with its meager strength, would probably have been destroyed countless times by Taoism long ago."

"Therefore, it is only natural that the Yin-Yang School now serves the Ji family."

"Really?" Yan Fei revealed a hint of sarcasm in her smile.

"If that's the case, why not reveal the identity of our Ji family within the Yin-Yang School?"

"Why not reveal to the public that I, the Moon Goddess, and even the leader Donghuang Taiyi are all descendants of the Ji family of the Zhou Dynasty?"

"Instead, they chose to keep all of this a secret, only letting a few core members know about it?"

Yan Fei's words,

Once it gets out, it will surely cause a great uproar among the seven kingdoms.

Especially in the Qin state, such news would almost certainly cause a ** (likely referring to a large-scale conflict or upheaval).

Because in the course of history, the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the Qin state.

Moon god

"Furthermore, as for Lin Qi, once I've finished dealing with Yan Dan's affairs and returned, I'll see what's so special about him that he could make the peerless Yin Yang family's Yan Fei fall in love with him." As the Moon Goddess said this, her gaze turned to Yan Fei, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.

She clearly found it unbelievable and disdainful that such a high and mighty figure as Yan Fei could be conquered by an ordinary man.

In response, Yan Fei narrowed her eyes and replied in an extremely cold voice, "This matter has nothing to do with Lin Qi."

Not only that, she also warned the Moon Goddess: "I also want to give you a piece of advice: don't cause Lin Qi any unnecessary trouble."

Immediately afterward, Yan Fei's tone grew even colder: "Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences." As she finished speaking, a cold glint flashed deep in her eyes, almost murderous intent.

The moon goddess was momentarily stunned, her eyes filled with confusion.

Although there was a conflict between the two, Yue Shen had always been dissatisfied with Yan Fei. From childhood to the present, she had always been outdone by Yan Fei in everything.

Recently, even the position of the head of the Yin-Yang family was taken away by Yan Fei, which made her feel resentful.

Therefore, she often caused trouble for Yanfei behind her back. However, considering the sisterly relationship between the two and the fact that they belonged to the Ji clan, Yanfei usually acquiesced to or ignored such small actions.

However, for Lin Qi alone, the usually calm and restrained Yan Fei has actually become serious, even revealing a dangerous signal, which is something the Moon Goddess never expected.

Beneath this surprise lay an even stronger curiosity about Lin Qi.

What kind of magic does this man possess that can make someone as powerful as Yan Fei change color?

On the surface, however, she remained calm and responded with a light laugh: "You misunderstand. I just wanted to make contact, I have no ill intentions."

Upon hearing this, Yanfei raised her eyelids slightly and stared intently at the Moon Goddess.

Upon seeing this, the Moon Goddess hurriedly adjusted her expression, barely maintaining a smile on her face to conceal the turmoil in her heart.

Once she confirmed that the other party did not notice anything unusual on her face, Yan Fei withdrew her gaze and went straight to the core question: "So, what is the purpose of your sudden appearance?"

According to normal procedures, if one were to come to Xianyang Palace from elsewhere, one should inform Consort Yan in advance.

However, today's unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard, naturally giving Yanfei some questions.

With her smile fading, the Moon Goddess said in a deep voice, "Didn't I make myself clear before? It's about dealing with Yan Dan's matter!"

She then explained in detail the changes in the situation and the adjustment of the mission: "Recently, the leader discovered that Yan Dan had made contact with Han Fei. After divination, he predicted that Yan Dan might possess another bronze box and know some secrets about the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations."

"Given that he is a descendant of a collateral branch of the Ji family, having this information is of great importance to us."

Therefore, we have decided to send you to approach Yan Dan under a false identity in order to obtain more information.

However, halfway through her sentence, her gaze fell on Yan Fei again, and then her tone turned slightly somber: "But now, none of this is necessary anymore."

Then the Moon Goddess explained that because Yan Dan had fled without permission, the entire plan had become unfeasible.

"The leader changed his mind and assigned me to track down Yan Dan and retrieve the bronze box."

Initially, this task was supposed to be completed by Yan Fei, but now it seems the situation is different.

Furthermore, all the actions of the Yin-Yang School were under the close surveillance of the Qin Dynasty.

The Grand Master of Fate was busy investigating royal resources, while Consort Yan remained at the base to oversee and direct operations.

If Yanfei were to leave without explanation at this time, it would certainly lead to unnecessary speculation and questioning.

As the Moon Goddess, she secretly entered the city this time without leaving any trace, so it is the safest choice for her to take over the task of capturing Yan Dan.

Yan Fei nodded, a look of understanding on her face.

She parted her lips slightly and instructed, "His Majesty has entrusted the task of capturing Yan Dan to the Luo Wang organization. You must be extra careful when you secretly follow him."

“I even suspect that Luo Wang may have learned that Yan Dan might have the bronze box, which is why they took the initiative to take over the pursuit.”
