Xianyang City was filled with thick smoke and flames reaching into the sky.
Many people in Xianyang fled to the streets and made a lot of noise.
Xianyang City, which was originally tense, became lively.
Countless Imperial Guards rushed toward Zhaoyang Palace with great cheers.
At the same time, in the secret room downstairs of Xue Yue.
"I've been waiting for two days, but there's no news at all. Didn't you say that the Mo family has been notified?"
Lu Sheng looked at Fan Zeng with a cold face and a somewhat unkind tone.
The people from the other six countries were also anxious.
They stayed in this dark underground secret room every day, so scared that they sometimes didn't dare to sleep, for fear that they would appear in the Qin Army's prison when they woke up, or even never wake up.
They actually regretted taking part in this operation, but there is no medicine for regret in the world. They can only take it one step at a time. Even if there is a dead end ahead, there is nothing they can do.
Just now, the Qin army was searching Xueyue Tower, and there was no obstruction from Xueyue Tower, which made them suddenly feel like their lives were hanging by a thread.
Fan Zeng glanced at Lu Sheng indifferently and said calmly: "I did inform the Mo family. As for why the Mo family didn't respond to me, I don't know."
"you!"
Lu was angry and pointed at Fan Zeng, about to scold him. At this moment, Xiang Yu's eyes fell on him, making him dare to be angry but afraid to speak.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, the first priority is to figure out how to get out!" Zixiang stepped forward and patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder, telling him to calm down.
Lu Sheng frowned, took a deep breath, relaxed his mood, and turned to look at the people from the six countries: "Everyone, the children of the Mohist family cannot be relied on, we can only rely on ourselves!"
"snort!"
Xiang Bo snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.
Lu Sheng ignored him and just said to himself: "Now that the Qin army is searching closely outside, it may be difficult for us to leave here together. However, Lu is not talented and has a plan. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate?"
"Mr. Lu is a great talent. If you have any plans, you might as well tell him!"
After hearing Lu Sheng's words, everyone's eyes lit up, and one of the remaining Koreans quickly stood up and cupped his hands.
"Yes, Mr. Lu, we are all on the same boat now. If you have any way to escape Xianyang, tell me quickly!"
"Mr. Lu is very righteous, and we hope that he will obey you!"
"Mr. Lu, please tell me..."
Seeing that everyone was impatient, Lu Sheng smiled slightly and did not speak directly. Instead, he looked at Fan Zeng and the others and said, "What do you think?"
"Stop talking nonsense, if you really have a good plan, what if I listen to you? If not, I will give you the sword in someone's hand, and I won't spare it!"
Xiang Yu sneered immediately before Fan Zeng could speak.
Lu Sheng's face darkened, and murderous intent arose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it and changed his smile: "Since the Xiang family is willing to cooperate, then Lu will say it!"
"My method is very simple. Break it into parts, disguise yourself, sneak into the homes of Xianyang people, and wait for the opportunity to leave the city!"
"Tch! What kind of trick?"
Xiang Yu said with some disdain: "Sneaking into people's homes in Xianyang, is it safe here?"
When Lu Sheng heard this, he was not angry and looked at Fan Zeng with a smile: "Young Master Xiang doesn't understand. Mr. Fan should understand, right?"
Fan Zeng frowned, and then said calmly: "Are you trying to take advantage of the fact that the Qin army has already inspected the people of Xianyang, and make a time difference to bet that they won't inspect them a second time in a short time?"
"good!"
"Then how did you get out of Xueyue Tower, and how did you sneak into the homes of Xianyang people under the strict supervision of the Qin army?"
"Well, naturally someone needs to divert the Qin army away..."
"Who's going to divert him?"
"Hehe, hehe..."
Lu Sheng showed a meaningful smile and looked at Xiang Yu.
The rest of the people suddenly understood and looked at Xiang Yu with half-smiling smiles.
Xiang Yu's face changed and he was furious: "You actually want me to be used as bait! What a courageous dog! Looking for death..."
After saying that, he would pick up his sword and kill someone.
"Yu'er, don't be impulsive!"
Xiang Bo stopped Xiang Yu in time and scolded everyone: "You are also elders after all. Don't you feel ashamed to let a child lead the enemy?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless and all rolled their eyes. Is this even considered a child? Which family's children are so brave? !
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
"No! The Qin army is coming!"
Someone shouted something, and everyone suddenly stood up, assumed a fighting posture, and stared at the door.
Soon, a servant in gray clothes appeared in everyone's sight, and they only heard him say: "Xianyang City is on fire. Now the city gate is wide open. Master wants you to get out of the city quickly!"
What's going on?
Why is Xianyang City on fire?
When everyone saw that the visitor was not Qin Jun, they breathed a sigh of relief, but when they heard the news the visitor told them, they were filled with doubts.
Lu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his hand: "Thank you, master, for taking me in these days..."
"Okay, okay, don't be polite. This opportunity cannot be missed. Time will never come again. Let's go!"
The gray-robed servant waved his hand impatiently.
"Okay, okay, let's go now, let's go now!"
Lu Sheng nodded repeatedly and happily greeted everyone to leave the secret room.
"etc!"
Just when everyone was about to leave with Lu Sheng, Fan Zeng suddenly shouted.
"Um?"
Everyone was stunned, and all their eyes fell on Fan Zeng.
But I heard Fan Zeng say: "The Qin army came to search before, but Xueyue Tower did not stop them. Now they come to inform us that there is a fire in Xianyang and the city gate is wide open. Don't you think it's strange?"
"What do you mean?"
When Lu Sheng heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "If I, Lu, hadn't asked the master of Xueyue Tower to rescue you, you would have died under the Qin army's random arrows. Now you actually suspect that the owner of Xueyue Tower has ulterior motives?"
"Ah!"
Uncle Xiang snorted and sneered: "Why didn't you say that if you hadn't gathered everyone to assassinate us, we would have been trapped here?"
"You, you are simply unreasonable!"
Lu Sheng raised his finger and pointed at Xiang Bo and said angrily: "The assassination was done voluntarily by everyone. Did Lu ever intimidate you?"
"You have never coerced us..."
Xiang Yu smiled and then slowly walked towards Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng was startled and backed away: "You, what are you going to do..."
"What?"
Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes, suddenly became murderous, and then stabbed out with his sword.
puff--!
Lu Sheng felt a stream of heat splashing on his face, and couldn't help but turn pale in shock, but he quickly realized that he felt no pain on his body, and quickly wiped the stream of heat to block his sight.
Looking closely, it was the gray-robed servant just now who was pierced through the chest by Xiang Yu's sword.
"you……"
The gray-robed servant never dreamed that Xiang Yu would actually kill him.
Looking at the bronze sword on his chest in shock, the man in gray robe was full of anger and surprise. Using his last bit of strength, he pointed at Xiang Yu: "My master... will not let you go..."
After saying that, he carried him off. Even before he died, he didn't understand why Xiang Yu wanted to kill him.
"!!!"
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.
So cruel, so unreasonable! How can there be such a heartless person? It's okay for you to be ungrateful when someone takes you in. Now that someone comes to tell you to run away, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Why kill someone!
While everyone was frightened, they were also filled with grief and anger.
Lu Sheng recovered from the shock, took a few steps back, pointed at Xiang Yu and said: "Xiang... Xiang Yu, do you know who he is? Do you know that you got into trouble?"
"Getting into trouble?"
Xiang Yu casually pulled out the bronze sword from the corpse, sneered and said to everyone, "I'm saving you!"
"Everyone is in the same boat now. I don't believe anyone except you. Do you really believe it when he said there was a fire outside? Oh, if he deceives you to go out and be surrounded and killed by the Qin army, we will be the ones affected!"
Not all people are fools. They clearly informed everyone to escape with good intentions. If it was really harmful to everyone's thoughts, why wait until now? Why should we take in everyone?
You were just too suspicious, so you killed him.
The Korean remnant from before stood up and said: "Now that you have killed people from Xueyue Tower, we are also implicated with you. How can we escape now?"
"Yes! It's all your fault! You didn't want to attract enemies for everyone, so you let everyone stay and bury you with you!"
Hearing the accusations from everyone, Xiang Yu smiled indifferently and said, "Can you go out without me, Xiang Yu? Huh! If you want to survive, just listen to me. Who dares to disobey me, Xiang Yu? I, Xiang Yu, will kill him!"
These words were equivalent to threatening everyone. Of course, they also had the effect of killing chickens and respecting monkeys. Everyone, including Lu Sheng, Zixiang, and other nobles from the six countries, could not help but tremble.
At this time, Xiang Yu ignored them and turned to look at Fan Zeng: "Father, what are your plans?"
Fan Zeng pondered for a while and said: "First send one or two people out to find out the truth. If there is really a fire in Xianyang, then take advantage of the chaos to escape and join our people!"
"Okay!" Xiang Yu nodded in response, then raised his sword and pointed: "You, go outside and take a look!"
"I?!"
Zixiang did not expect that Xiang Yu would point at him, and was shocked.
"Yes! It's you!"
"But I..." Zixiang showed a bitter look and was about to bargain with Xiang Yu. Lu Sheng quickly pulled his sleeves and reminded him in a low voice: "Go, it's okay, the master will not lie to us..."
"What are you mumbling about?! Go quickly!"
Xiang Yu interrupted the two of them with a sharp shout, and Xiang Bo suddenly said: "I will accompany him!"
"Uncle, no!" Xiang Yu didn't expect Xiang Bo to go, so he couldn't help but stop him quickly.
Uncle Xiang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Yu'er. I'm more familiar with Xueyue Tower than he is, so it'll be fine!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu turned to look at Fan Zeng: "Father, look at this..."
Fan Zeng squinted his eyes, glanced at Uncle Xiang, nodded and said: "Uncle Xiang is going to investigate. We can rest assured and let him go!"
"But……"
"Okay Yu'er, just wait here for our good news!"
After waving his hand, Xiang Bo didn't waste any time and immediately took Zixiang out of the secret room.
Xiang Yu, on the other hand, looked down at the crowd and shouted in a deep voice: "Sit down quickly!"
"..."
Everyone was afraid of Xiang Yu's gaze and did not dare to look at him. With the corpse lying on the ground, they were even more frightened.
Lu Sheng also continued. Although he felt that Xiang Yu did not dare to kill him, he did not dare to confront the Xiang family.
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence, and the entire secret room was eerily quiet.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you, everyone feels uncomfortable.
However, everyone knew that Xiang Yu was a bit anxious and really dared to kill them. He dared not speak out in anger.
This weird atmosphere lasted for half a quarter of an hour. Xiang and Bo came back with excitement on their faces: "It's true! Xianyang City is really on fire. Now there's chaos outside, and everyone is rushing out of the city!"
"Very good!"
Hearing this, a remnant of Qi State slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly.
However, when his words fell, no one responded. Everyone turned their eyes to Xiang Yu. Their faces turned pale and they said in a trembling voice: "Xiang...Xiang Shaoxia, I..."
"snort!"
Xiang Yu snorted coldly, and the remaining members of the Qi Kingdom immediately softened their legs and knelt down.
At this time, Lu Sheng stood up again and said: "Xiang Shaoxia, since the chaos outside is true, let's get out quickly and don't waste the opportunity!"
When everyone heard this, someone took the lead, and they immediately agreed: "We are willing to obey Young Master Xiang's orders!"
Xiang Yu was overjoyed, but he raised his neck coldly and said, "When you go out, if you dare to cause chaos, you will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Fan Zeng.
Fan Zeng waved his hand: "Let's go out together!"
After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another, as if they were being pardoned, and walked towards the secret room, and then fled through the door...
When Xiang Yu was about to follow them and leave the secret room, Fan Zeng stepped forward quickly and stopped him: "Let them leave the city first, we will use Lu Sheng's strategy!"
"Um?"
Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo looked at each other and looked at Fan Zeng in confusion.
Fan Zeng smiled and said nothing, then squatted down and groped for a while on the body, and finally found out a few things, and said with a smile: "With these things, we will be safe and sound!"
"What is this?" Xiang Yu frowned.
Fan Zeng stroked his beard and said, "If my guess is right, it should be Xueyue Tower's token!"
"Mr. Fan wants to cooperate with Xueyuelou?" Xiang Bo interrupted.
Fan Zeng glanced at him and said with a smile: "The owner of Xueyue Tower is very mysterious. It is not easy to open such a large tower in Xianyang. Now he takes the risk to take us in, saying that he has no ambitions. Do you believe it?"
"Do not believe……"
Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew all shook their heads.
Fan Zeng continued: "Okay, it's not easy to stay here for a long time. I think the arsonist should be a disciple of the Mohist family. Let's take advantage of the chaos and sneak into a house. If nothing unusual happens, we will leave the city!"
"good!"
Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew nodded in unison.
Just like that, the three of them also left the secret room.
………
At the same time, on the other side, in the dense forest outside Xianyang City, countless cavalry were lurking in it.
Wu Ya and Yang Duanhe sat on their horses and stared in the direction of the city gate, silently.
After a while, Yang Duanhe murmured: "Young master's strategy is really brilliant. When catching mice, you have to lure them out of the hole to catch them!"
"This is not catching mice, this is called wolf tactics!"
Wu Ya smiled and shook his head.
"Wolf pack tactics?"
"Let the people from Heibingtai follow them first. As soon as they join up with their companions, you will immediately pounce on them. No matter what they do, shoot them without mercy."
Hearing this, Yang Duanhe raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but be interested. But when he raised his head, he glanced at the fire in the city and said with a complicated expression: "Young Master is really bold!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that my little junior brother would become so cruel..."
Wu Ya empathized and echoed: "I just don't know how your Majesty is feeling right now. He should be furious with thunder!"
"An angry person will definitely be angry, but..."
As Yang Duanhe spoke, he changed the topic and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was the same way back then. It's like like father, like son. If I, the old Qin man, didn't have this ruthlessness, I would have been swallowed up by Rong Di long ago. Destroyed by the Six Kingdoms..."
"That's right! My master said that if my junior brother is not lazy, his future is limitless..."
"I agree with this!"
Yang Duanhe still admires Zhao Hao very much, otherwise he would not let his son Yang Cen study with Zhao Hao.
But as a guard, in charge of the imperial army, and guarding the imperial city, he could not do what Meng Tian did and could only keep a distance from the prince.
At this moment, a messenger came from behind the team and said, "General Yang! They are leaving the city!"
"Inform the people at Black Ice Platform and follow them!"
Yang Duanhe waved his big hand and ordered the commander to immediately retreat as promised.
Wu Ya narrowed his eyes, feeling something was wrong. He turned to Yang Duan and asked, "Did they leave the city too fast?"
"We are all thinking about escaping, so of course we have to hurry up..." Yang Duanhe said with a dumb smile.
"That's not right!" Wu Ya shook his head and said sternly: "Junior brother asked us to wait until dark, and now it's twilight, and they came out. This is very unreasonable. General Yang, think about it. If you and I were assassins, we wouldn't investigate first. Are you going to leave the city one after another?"
"If we fall into an ambush by the enemy, wouldn't it mean that our entire army would be wiped out?"
"you mean……"
"These people don't look like they escaped on their own, but rather they looked like they were scared..."
"scare?"
Yang Duanhe frowned, seeming a little confused.
Wuya rode out, frowning and saying, "I'll go to the city to have a look, you just follow the original plan!"
"Okay." Yang Duanhe nodded, watched Wuya leave, and couldn't help but murmured: "How come the disciples of Old Guowei are all as shrewd as foxes..."
