Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

"traitor."

"You deserve to die!"

"They're all traitors!"

The powerless roar of the sun-covered man echoed across the heavens and earth; his resentment and frustration could not be washed away even by the Wei River.

What happened to the planned covert cooperation?

What happened to the easy task I was promised?

In the end, he was the only one left!

One man bravely rammed into Changxin-jun's carriage, intending to assassinate him.

One person facing a gang attack from eight top-tier warriors?

He's become a clown!

If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have come!

The roars gradually subsided, and the dark sky gradually brightened.

Under the combined assault of eight top-tier warriors, Yan Ri was already exhausted.

As the most unique individual among the top-tier members of the Luo Wang organization, Yan Ri is undoubtedly very strong.

Even with his strength, he had no chance to fight back when surrounded and attacked by the other eight top-tier experts.

"Your Majesty, Yan Ri has been captured."

Soon, Zhen Gang reported the results of the battle to Ying Jing.

"Yan Ri, Jing Ni, Xuan Jian, and even Li Wu—Prime Minister Lü, once he made a move, he intended to utterly kill me. What a pity..."

Ying Jing looked up at the sky, a smile playing on his lips.

At this moment, the sky above was a clear, azure blue.

On the surface, it appeared to be a very crude assassination attempt, with Yan Ri alone heading straight for Ying Jing's carriage.

In reality, this was absolutely a long-planned and meticulously planned scheme.

Far from the Qin state, and not even from the Zhao state, which he was on this mission to.

Lord Changxin secretly fled to the State of Wei and met with misfortune. Even Ying Zheng, who wanted to avenge him, found it difficult to find the real culprit.

The assassination arranged by Lü Buwei was not reckless, and according to common sense, the success rate was extremely high.

Because there were already three spies planted around Ying Jing: Li Wu, Jing Ni, and Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

In Lü Buwei's estimation, even if Ying Jing was wary of Hei Bai Xuan Jian, judging from how he had coveted Jing Ni back in Xianyang Palace, Jing Ni would definitely be able to gain some trust.

Add to that Li Wu, a pawn that has been planted for a long time...

With Yan Ri holding off the Six Sword Slaves, the three elite Luo Wang assassins, two of whom were even ranked first-class, were able to take on the challenge.

There's no reason why they couldn't assassinate Changxin Jun, who at most had some rudimentary martial arts skills.

There's nothing we can do; Lord Changxin is usually so low-key that no one would have guessed he's actually so unfathomable.

What Lü Buwei and Yan Ri could never have imagined was...

In such a short time, Li Wu, Jing Ni, and Hei Bai Xuan Jian... all three spies were turned by Lord Changxin.

It's not that the Net has never had traitors, but such cases are extremely rare, usually only appearing once every few decades.

The simultaneous betrayal of three hidden agents was completely unexpected.

All I can say is that Ying Jing is just too outrageous and too unique...

He's a professional at turning people to defect!

With the information gap between the two sides completely unequal, Lü Buwei's schemes were rendered useless.

Yan Ri was quickly brought to Ying Jing's side after his acupoints were sealed. At this time, the bronze mask on his face had also been torn off.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the face beneath the mask was quite handsome, fair-skinned, and didn't resemble that of an assassin.

"what……"

Yan Ri was wailing in pain, and blood was flowing from his lower body.

At this moment, the attack always targets the weakest point.

Under the combined attack of eight top-tier warriors, Yan Ri was utterly powerless to defend himself, and it was no surprise that his vital parts were injured.

Ying Jing was immediately surprised!

Through the pierced clothing, he discovered that the special object covering the sun was quite "huge," almost as big as Lord Changxin!

Strangely, he had no testicles?

Following Lord Nagatoshi's gaze, everyone present quickly noticed this as well.

The assassins, who had undergone rigorous training, were not particularly moved.

But Yan Lingji... a ball of flame was burning in her hand, and she seemed very interested, as if she wanted to burn it all off to see it clearly.

"Don't rush, I have some questions to ask."

Ying Jing stopped Yan Ling Ji's actions.

Yan Ri finally suppressed the pain below. He stopped wailing and looked at Ying Jing with eyes full of resentment.

That hatred made Ying Jing wonder if he had done something heinous to him.

"Is your real name Lao Ai?"

Everyone thought Lord Changxin would ask some important question, but his first sentence was rather puzzling.

The assassins of the Luo Wang organization, especially the top-ranking ones, have long since abandoned their real names and only use code names.

Why are they even concerned about Yan Ri's real name?

Actually, Ying Jing didn't have anything important to ask; he was just a little curious when he saw this thing.

"As expected, Lord Changxin, you know everything. That eunuch was deliberately left behind by you to harm me!"

Yan Ri finally revealed the source of his resentment.

Originally, Yan Ri wasn't required to participate in this mission, but he volunteered to join.

Because he harbored deep hatred and wanted to witness Changxinjun's despairing death with his own eyes.

"Eunuch slave?"

Ying Jing was slightly taken aback.

But quickly, his mind raced and he immediately thought of someone.

Zhao Gao?

The egg doesn't look like it was cut too long ago. Could this be... Zhao Gao's doing?

After a moment's thought, Ying Jing understood the cause and effect.

Lü Buwei is still up to his old tricks; taking advantage of his transfer away from Qin, he still wants to pursue Zhao Ji's path.

Unfortunately, just in case, Ying Jing had left Zhao Gao in the Empress Dowager's Ganquan Palace as a backup plan.

In Ganquan Palace, martial arts skills cannot determine everything, especially since Zhao Gao himself was not bad at martial arts.

The guards were all the most elite personnel, and there were even some old eunuchs and palace maids hidden by the royal family.

Zhao Gao is now the chief steward of Ganquan Palace. With a single order, even the Sun-Shrouding Egg cannot resist!

Not resisting means losing your testicles, but resisting means losing your life!

But this matter... was done by Zhao Gao, what does it have to do with Lord Changxin?

Well done! Zhao Gao is a talented man!

But Ying Jing still felt he was somewhat wronged.

He deliberately left Zhao Gao behind as a backup plan to prevent his home from being raided; he wasn't intentionally targeting anyone.

Yan Ri ran into the trap himself. If he doesn't hate Zhao Gao or Lü Buwei who sent him to Ganquan Palace, how can he possibly find fault with Lord Changxin?

Have I become a pushover?

Ying Jing touched his smooth chin and then stared at Yan Ri's lower body.

"Deserve it!"

After finishing his tirade, Ying Jing turned around and headed back to his carriage.

However, before boarding the carriage, he still gently waved his right hand.

"How dare they plot against the Empress Dowager! They deserve to die."

The Six Sword Slaves immediately understood Ying Jing's meaning.

Kill him!

There is no need to leave any survivors.

The assassin's words cannot be used as evidence, and keeping Yan Ri around won't help to strike at Lü Buwei.

Even a cunning old fox, once he makes a move, will always manage to absolve himself of all responsibility.

From beginning to end, only Yan Ri came to assassinate him, so Lü Buwei could have claimed that Yan Ri had betrayed him.

"what!"

Yan Ri, or rather Lao Ai, finally let out the last scream of his life.
