Chapter 269

It was not just him—countless experts across the Central Plains had their eyes light up in an instant.

Almost everyone bowed to Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu: "It's feasible!"

"Ying Su has no strength to even truss a chicken—he can be dealt with exactly like this!"

"Let me go!"

"Let me go!"

In that moment, countless people were shouting!

Fan Zeng waved his hand and said:

"The number of people for this trip should not be too many—five is optimal. Moreover, the target cannot all be placed on Ying Su. After all, Ying Su is the Emperor, and there must surely be a great gathering of experts around him!"

"Wanting to capture him will be far too difficult!"

"And if we cannot capture Ying Su, then capturing Han Xin alive will also count!"

"Capturing Han Xin alive, we can use Han Xin's life to force Ying Su to issue a withdrawal order!"

"Capturing Ying Su alive, we can force Han Xin, Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao and all these people to kill themselves!"

"Those two people—as long as we catch any one of them, I can end this battle!"

He spoke, laying it all out.

And the crowd, hearing these words, all had their eyes light up brilliantly!

Capture Han Xin alive, and we can force Ying Su to withdraw!

Capture Ying Su alive, and we can force Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, Han Xin, and Wang Jian to kill themselves!

These words truly made far too many hearts stir!

In that moment, even more people stood up!

In the end, Fan Zeng picked and chose, and selected five people!

The Snow Woman, Yan Fei, Master Master Xiaomeng, and the King of Hundred Poisons!

Each one of these people had great merit to offer!

The Snow Woman and Yan Fei—one was skilled in illusion techniques, the other skilled in dance!

The Snow Woman would approach Ying Su under the pretext of offering a dance, and Yan Fei could use illusion techniques to bewitch Ying Su!

If possible, these two could capture Ying Su alive!

Master Master Xiaomeng and the King of Hundred Poisons would mainly deal with Han Xin!

They had to capture him alive!

For the last person, he deliberated between Weizhuang and Ge Nie.

But in the end… he did not choose either of those two, and instead chose the nameless swordsman who sat there without making a single move!

"You go!"

"Hm?"

The nameless swordsman frowned, and finally shook his head: "I won't go!"

"Hm?"

The moment those words left his mouth, everyone was shocked, everyone was astonished.

Some were even furious: "Why won't you go?"

The nameless swordsman smiled and said: "The work of petty villains—not worth my while!"

"You…"

These words simply sent countless people into a rage.

But… given his terrifying strength, no one dared do anything to him!

In the end, Fan Zeng could only deliberate once more between Weizhuang and Ge Nie!

"Weizhuang!"

He spoke.

Weizhuang stepped forward directly, but was yanked back down hard by Ge Nie:

"The Vertical and Horizontal of Guigu act with honor—the work of petty villains is beneath us!"

"You…"

The crowd looked at Ge Nie, utterly furious!

Weizhuang looked at Ge Nie, even more furious!

And Ge Nie turned his gaze toward him: "Could it be… even the rules of the Guigu Sect cannot restrain you?"

"Hmph!"

Weizhuang snorted in fury!

In the end, Fan Zeng could only choose anew!

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

In that moment, countless people were shouting!

Although Ge Nie, the nameless swordsman, and others all considered this the work of petty villains… there were still many people willing to do it!

If it truly succeeded, that would be the great merit of capturing Ying Su or Han Xin alive!

Just on the strength of such merit, it could let countless people make their names and establish their fortunes!

Fan Zeng deliberated for a long time, and finally called out a name: "Tian Guang!"

"Good!"

He answered in assent, and then the Snow Woman, Yan Fei, Master Master Xiaomeng, the King of Hundred Poisons, and Tian Guang—the five of them set out!

Facing Ying Su, Master Master Xiaomeng, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu, Emperor, Weizhuang, Fan Zeng, Tian Guang, Han Xin, Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, Wang Jian, Ge Nie, Guigu Sect, Snow Woman, Yan Fei, King of Hundred Poisons, nameless swordsman

And before departing, Fan Zeng instructed in a low voice:

"As long as the whereabouts of Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao remain unknown, and as long as the two of them are still alive, Ying Su must not be killed. Killing Ying Su will invite enormous trouble! Therefore, this person must be captured alive!"

"Han Xin must likewise not be killed. If Ying Su seeks revenge, it will bring about a catastrophe!"

"Both of these men must be captured alive. Only alive are they of great use; dead, they hold no value whatsoever and will instead invite enormous disaster!"

He repeated these instructions time and again.

Finally, everyone nodded, and then departed!

Watching the five of them leave, the crowd grew all the more excited!

Snow Woman, Flame Concubine, Hundred Poisons King, Master Master Xiaomeng, and Tian Guang!

These individuals either possessed unique skills or wielded supreme martial power!

All were extremely formidable figures!

Especially Snow Woman's Lingbo Flying Swallow; it could truly bewitch people into a trance of soul and spirit!

At that moment, everyone was very excited!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu, along with countless Xiongnu generals, was even more excited!

Yet... Fan Zeng, who had proposed this scheme, remained gloomy and disheartened!

"Father Sublime, why such a demeanor? Are you worried it will not succeed?"

Xiang Yu spoke up to ask.

Fan Zeng shook his head: "The nameless swordsman and Ge Nie were right; this is a petty trick, unworthy of being brought into the light!"

"It is certainly not the way to seize the world!"

"If one wishes to seize the world, one may employ cunning stratagems on the battlefield or stir up the hearts of the people, but the prerequisite is that it must be somewhat honorable!"

"But this method of dispatching assassins is too despicable, too lowly!"

"Regardless of success or failure, I, Fan Zeng, feel ashamed because of it!"

"This shall also be the last piece of advice I give to Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu. Whether it succeeds or fails, after this matter is done, Yu'er, let us depart!"

"Helping the Xiongnu to persecute the Central Plains is truly not the conduct of a true man, nor the conduct of one who seeks to seize the world!"

"Should Ying Su fail to win the people's hearts in the future, then what we have done today will be regarded by others as heroic!"

"But should Ying Su win the people's hearts in the future, then I, Fan Zeng, and you, Xiang Yu, will both bear the infamy of a thousand generations!"

"This is treachery!"

"It is also selling out the nation!"

"Under any circumstances, this matter must not be done again!"

"Come with me. Within three years, I will help you kill Li Yuanba!"

Fan Zeng spoke these words, and at that moment, his gaze was blood-red!
