Chapter 194

Although his strength was formidable, his physique and speed were ultimately inferior to Zhao Lei's by a few degrees.

"Good boy, don't just focus on dodging!"

The successive attacks did not cause any harm to Xiang Yu.

Zhao Lei was also somewhat dissatisfied.

If he couldn't even take down a greenhorn, wouldn't his reputation be laughed at?

"Go to hell!"

A roar.

The two axes in Zhao Lei's hands slashed down toward Xiang Yu's head with absolute force.

At this moment, Xiang Yu had no room to dodge at all.

At this critical moment of life and death,

Xiang Yu directly pulled out the long spear in his hand and aimed the tip at Zhao Lei's chest, stabbing it down.

The movement of the long spear was as swift as a swimming dragon.

At this moment, where did Zhao Lei have a defensive posture?

Without defense, the spear pierced through Zhao Lei's chest without hesitation.

The distance of the long spear was a few degrees longer than the axes.

This led to Xiang Yu having already pierced through Zhao Lei's body, while Zhao Lei had not even touched Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu also did not expect that he would be so lucky as to pierce this person's chest with one shot.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

……

…….

Zhao Lei's eyes widened, looking at his chest in disbelief.

He did not expect that the greenhorn in front of him would end his life.

Even if he had ten thousand unwillingness,

he ultimately could not escape the weakness of his body and slowly knelt to the ground.

Xiang Yu directly retracted his long spear, and blood sprayed out from Zhao Lei's chest.

This action caused a smear of blood to appear on the corner of Zhao Lei's mouth again.

His entire pupils seemed to dilate a few more degrees.

This scene caused the soldiers who were fighting to stop their actions one after another.

Originally, the 30, 00 troops brought by Zhao Lei could easily crush the thousands of troops at the West City Gate.

With the leader dead, these soldiers were suddenly leaderless.

Conversely, the Great Chu side seemed to have received something heartening.

Everyone watched as their master took down the opposing general.

This was equivalent to stimulating the fighting spirit in their hearts.

Clearly, there were only a few thousand people, yet they fought with the aura of ten thousand people.

The Great Qin army, which had already been somewhat defeated because their leader was killed, when facing such a Great Chu,

actually developed a psychology of retreat.

With the first soldier retreating, soon there was a second.

Soon, this group of Great Qin soldiers retreated one after another.

Wang Jian stood in the army riding a horse.

Watching the soldiers below attacking the city gate.

Zhao Lei's side should have also received the news from his side.

It's just that he didn't know which one would be breached first, the West City Gate or this main city gate.

Just as Wang Jian was thinking in his mind, a soldier below ran over quickly.

"Reporting to the Old General, General Zhao Lei is dead."

This sentence was equivalent to dropping a bomb in the crowd.

Those who could stand beside Wang Jian were all prominent generals.

They were clear about Zhao Lei's strength.

They did not expect that Zhao Lei would die at the hands of these Great Chu remnants.

"What happened?"

Wang Jian's face was gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice.

Zhao Lei could also be considered a direct subordinate of his.

It was precisely because of his promotion that he was able to reach his current status.

"General Zhao Lei was killed by Xiang Yu of Great Chu."

The soldier below continued to say.

Hearing this name, the people present were in an uproar again.

"Xiang Yu?"

"Great Chu, that greenhorn?"

For this group of strong men over thirty, that seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth was really just a greenhorn.

It's just that they calculated everything, but ultimately they did not calculate.

That Zhao Lei would actually die at his hands.

"Zhou Longchao, you replace Zhao Lei's position and continue to launch an attack on the West Gate."

Wang Jian's eyes instantly became cold and calm.

Tonight, he must eradicate this group of Great Chu remnants.

If he continued to delay, it would definitely not be just Zhao Lei who died.

The group of generals present obviously also knew what Wang Jian was thinking in his heart.

Zhou Longchao immediately responded, pulled his horse, and galloped toward the West City Gate position.

……

"Young Master, Wang Jian's side has already launched an attack on the Great Chu side."

Lu Li said to Ying Mo.

Even in the middle of the night, candles were still lit in Ying Mo's room.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of Wang Ben?"

Ying Mo was not interested in the battle between the two armies at all.

If Wang Jian could not eradicate the Great Chu remnants tonight, then he would take action.

The Great Chu remnants had been jumping around for long enough.

He wanted to eradicate the Great Chu remnants as soon as possible and then free up his hands to deal with the other true culprits.

"Replying to the Young Master, Wang Ben has been located."

"The people from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion followed the vines and found the specific location of Wang Ben."

Lu Li said.

"Speak."

Ying Mo's voice was still calm and cold.

"Wang Ben is currently in the location of Jiuzhou Commandery."

Ying Mo's eyes fluctuated; he did not expect Wang Ben to choose to hide in Jiuzhou Commandery.

"During this period, has he been in contact with anyone?"

Ying Mo still had suspicions about their Wang family.

The Wang family and Li Si together.

Both were objects of Ying Mo's suspicion.

Li Si had already been confirmed to be the true culprit from five years ago.

As for the Wang family, Ying Mo currently did not have solid evidence to prove that they were colluding with the people from five years ago.

Not being able to find out from Wang Jian's side only meant that this old fox was too insidious and cunning.

Therefore, Ying Mo could only place his gaze on Wang Ben.

This person had ambition.

Perhaps by starting with him, he would soon know what he wanted.

"Ever since Wang Ben entered Jiuzhou Commandery, he has been recuperating from his wounds."

"The Heavenly Secret Pavilion did not find out that he had any contact with anyone."

Lu Li shook his head.

In Ying Mo's expression, a trace of contemplation flashed.

Could it be that the Wang family really had no connection to the events of five years ago?

"What is the relationship between Wang Jian and Feng Quji?"

Ying Mo then asked again.

Although he was the Imperial Eldest Son back then, he was fighting the Xiongnu all day long.

He did not have a deep understanding of these people in the imperial court.

However, civil officials and military officers formed their own factions, and the two were fighting fiercely.

When officials from both sides met, it would be good if they didn't fight.

"Ever since Feng Quji was squeezed out of the center of power by Li Si, he has had no intersection with the Wang family."

Lu Li said.

"Ever since Feng Quji was restored to his original position, there were indeed not a few people who came to congratulate him and build relationships."

"But the Wang family was not among them."

Lu Li said truthfully.

"Hmph."

"Send someone to pass the news to Wang Ben that the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery is Feng Quji's man."

A smile hooked on the corner of Ying Mo's mouth.

Only when the water in this pool becomes more and more turbid.

Will the fox's tail be unable to hide.

If Wang Ben knew that the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery was Feng Quji's man.

He would inevitably guess why the provisions had been stuck in Jiuzhou Commandery without moving.

If Wang Ben knew about this, what would he do to the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery?

Ying Mo suddenly looked forward to Wang Ben's reaction.

And at this moment, Wang Ben, just as Lu Li said, was resting in an inn in Jiuzhou Commandery.

Ever since he was rescued by the secret guards, except for the initial coma, he had been staying in the inn.

An inn is a place where fish and dragons are mixed.

Likewise, it is also the easiest place to hide.

Buying a small courtyard in a strange place is easy to attract other people's attention.

But living in an inn does not have such troubles.

There are too many strange people living in the inn.

No matter how strange you act, the innkeeper will only be accustomed to it.

Several days of recuperation had allowed his wounds to recover more than halfway.

Wang Ben actually wanted to return to Wang Jian's side.

Unfortunately, he was refused by Wang Jian; Wang Jian required him to continue hiding here.

Wang Ben was helpless and had to continue staying in this inn.
