The entire Quyang City was noisy all night long.
The people were all awakened. Looking at the fire all over the city, they felt uneasy and didn't know what had happened.
It wasn't until a trace of fish belly white appeared in the sky that the commotion in Quyang City calmed down.
Zhong Hua walked in and reported to Xiong Wuliang that the damage in the city was not large, only a few straw sheds and a few shops selling cloth were set on fire.
It should be that the assassins in black deliberately created chaos when they retreated, so as to confuse the sight of the pursuers.
As for casualties...except for a few Green Feather Guards and Black Feather Guards who fell in the melee, there were almost no casualties.
Xiong Wuliang nodded and asked Zhong Hua to leave. He called Huang Wu and Yin Yu to ask questions.
Huang Wu and Yin Yu were still scared: "The people who came last night are definitely top masters!"
"We thought we could dominate the world, but we didn't expect that the assassin's skills last night were not inferior to us at all, or even better!"
Xiong Wuliang nodded again, said a few words of comfort, and wrote a note in his own hand. With this note, Huang Wu and Yin Yu could receive a sum of property from Qu Yuan to accommodate the deceased and provide compensation for him. family members.
The amount is not small.
Huang Wu and Yin Yu looked at each other, thankful that Xiong Wuliang did not hold them accountable. At the same time, they were also a little moved by Xiong Wuliang's behavior of immediately caring for the deceased. They received the note and left.
Xiong Wuliang turned around and saw that Ying Zhuo had bandaged the wound. He was speechless for a while and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Wuliang wanted to give himself a big mouth - nonsense, can it not hurt?
Ying Zhuo glanced at Xiong Wuliang and was speechless.
Xiong Wuliang coughed lightly: "Didn't you return to Qin a few days ago? Why are you still..."
Ying Zhuo's cheeks were slightly red and he spoke concisely: "If I really returned to Qin, you would be a corpse now."
Xiong Wuliang was speechless again.
Hey? Never noticed it before! This little barbarian is really good at attacking people!
Ying Zhuo stopped talking, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
Black Ice Platform, this ace spy organization that only exists in legends, is no secret to the Qin royal family like Ying Zhuo.
Ying Zhuo had long expected that with the character of his brother Wang, he would definitely not sit back and watch Xiong Wuliang develop in the Chu Kingdom... Qin and Chu are both powerful countries with long national borders. It is conceivable that sooner or later a competition will break out. The battle for national destiny for hegemony.
His hero is my enemy.
Therefore, Black Ice Platform's dispatch was completely within Ying Zhuo's expectation.
Ying Zhuo thought about his words and said: "The person who assassinated you last night was my Great Qin Black Ice Platform... But you don't have to worry, Black Ice Platform has always been able to kill you with one strike. Since I failed to kill you last night, I won't do it again in the future." Take action."
This is also an ancient rule of the Black Ice Platform - not to be pedantic, but if you miss a hit, your opponent will definitely be wary.
The so-called assassination is all about surprise... If the opponent is prepared, then even the most powerful assassin will not be able to make a move.
If the assassination fails, all the most elite swordsmen in Qin will be lost.
Any lord would regard such a loyal and skilled swordsman as his greatest wealth, and would tremble with grief if he sacrificed one or two of them.
Xiong Wuliang was startled when he heard this: "An assassin from Qin?"
He looked at Ying Zhuo with complicated eyes.
Although it was not said aloud, the subtext was obvious——
Then why did you save me?
Ying Zhuo blushed and his eyes averted a little, but his words were stern: "Humph, sooner or later you Xiong Liang will be my enemy of Great Qin."
"It's a good thing for me, Da Qin, that you're dead! It's also a disaster."
"This princess just doesn't want to see you die at the hands of Xiao Xiao's assassin. Don't be sentimental."
"If you let the Black Ice Platform Swordsman kill you, wouldn't future generations say that I, Da Qin, was worried that I would not be your opponent, so I used such despicable methods?" Ying Zhuo said with more confidence, his beautiful jawline raised high - —
"Sooner or later, you Xiong Wuliang will die by my Da Qin sword, but you must die in an upright battle formation, not by an assassin's sword!"
Seeing Ying Zhuo's awe-inspiring expression, Xiong Wu felt funny in his heart.
You, Ying Zhuo, are not such a rule-bound person.
Looking at Ying Zhuo's slightly flushed face and his slightly frowning eyebrows due to shoulder pain... Xiong Wuliang's heart palpitated for a moment.
"No matter what, Mi Liang still has to thank the princess for saving her life." Xiong Wuliang said with a smile.
"Since the princess is injured, she will not be able to return to Qin for a while. She might as well continue to live in my house and recover from her injuries. What do you think, princess?"
Ying Zhuo seemed to be happy, but he remained reserved: "You won't be too intrusive, right?"
Xiong Wuliang shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not!"
Ying Zhuo nodded, his face tightening: "That's fine."
"In your house, I can also protect your personal safety."
"Don't get me wrong - I just want you to fall on the battlefield in a dignified manner, and I have no intention of worrying about you."
Xiong Wuliang smiled and did not reveal anything: "Okay! I will definitely experience the power of Qin's military formation in the future."
Ying Zhuo seemed to suddenly think of something again: "But, from now on, we can no longer ask for my ten gold 'meal money' from this princess!"
…
Qin State, Xianyang.
Seeing Captain Heibingtai returning in embarrassment, Queen Mother Xuan's lips trembled slightly with anger.
This trip not only failed to kill Xiong Wuliang, but also made the latter more vigilant.
There will be no chance to do anything in the future.
In addition, Black Ice Platform also lost a dozen skilled swordsmen... which made Empress Dowager Xuan heartbroken!
It should be noted that Black Ice Terrace swordsmen not only require strong force, but also absolute loyalty... Looking at the size of the Qin State, Black Ice Terrace's secret agents only have a few hundred people. Once there is a loss, it cannot be easily made up.
Wei Ran: "Sister, since the matter has come to this point, you might as well send an envoy to go to Yingdu people in an open and honest manner!"
"Although the Chu people have won several battles in recent years, they must still have lingering fears when facing our great Qin."
"The Battle of Danyang a few years ago must still be fresh in the minds of those Chu people."
"Let the envoy be more polite, save some face for the King of Chu, and then warmly invite Marquis Quyang to come to Qin as a 'guest'... That Mi Huai has a soft personality, so he will probably agree!"
After hearing this, Queen Mother Xuan fell into deep thought.
Obviously, I am thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.
Wei Ran smiled and struck while the iron was hot: "When Mi Liang comes to our Da Qin, if my sister treats her with courtesy, maybe she can impress Xiong Wuliang and let the latter be used by our Da Qin."
"When the time comes, the 'disadvantages of Qin's law' that my sister is obsessed with may be solved with the help of this person!"
Mentioning the 'disadvantages of Qin's law', Queen Mother Xuan finally nodded!
At the beginning, Xiong Wuliang pointed out the shortcomings of Qin's method with a sharp eye... It is said that the person who ties the bell must be tied to untie the bell. Xiong Wu must have some ideas in his conscience about how to solve it!
