Chapter 103: The water in Qin is deep, finally arriving in Xianyang!

"Mr. Su, is there any way to make him speak?"

Ying Zheng saw that the conventional interrogation was fruitless. If he continued to interrogate, the method he thought of was to use torture on this killer, but using torture was actually not the best method.

Therefore, he looked at Su Xuan again.

Su Xuan’s methods were miraculous; all the way, he had solved many troubles for him. No matter what happened, Su Xuan had a way to solve it. Perhaps Su Xuan could make this person speak.

"If I use illusion, I should be able to make him speak!" Su Xuan said to Ying Zheng.

Although he used the "Borrowing Wind" technique and "Sword Technique" the most, besides these means, Su Xuan was actually also proficient in illusion. To be precise, it should be the "Nightmare Prayer" technique.

That day in the Han palace, he had used this technique to confuse many civil and military officials with illusions, making them see ghosts and monsters.

He even used this technique to break through Lady Mingzhu’s illusion, forcing Lady Mingzhu to be controlled by him.

He was about to speak, saying he would cast the illusion himself.

Yan Yan Lingji spoke first: "If it’s illusion, I can also be considered slightly proficient; I can try."

As soon as she spoke, Su Xuan remembered. Although Yan Yan Lingji was beautiful, she was not a pure vase. Besides the Fire Control technique, she was also proficient in the Fire Charm technique, and the Fire Charm technique was a thorough illusion.

"I’ll trouble Miss Yan Yan Lingji!"

Ying Zheng said softly to Yan Yan Lingji, his attitude also quite respectful.

He had heard a little about Yan Yan Lingji. She was originally under the command of the former Crown Prince of Regarding Baiyue, Tian Ze, but for some reason, she joined Su Xuan’s command.

Although she looked beautiful, being able to be used by Tian Ze, she was clearly not an ordinary person, but a strange person with special skills.

For him now, he would not hesitate to reuse anyone who was willing to join his command and had ability.

Yan Yan Lingji walked slowly to the middle-aged man. She reached out her finger, and a small flame suddenly appeared. The flame reflected her beautiful face and fell into the eyes of this Net killer captured by Su Xuan.

However, Yan Yan Lingji still underestimated the middle-aged man’s will.

As a Heaven-grade of the Net, although he had the intention of fearing death earlier, from the fact that he could become a Heaven-grade of the Net, his will was still difficult for ordinary people to reach.

The Fire Charm technique, although an illusion, required the other party’s heart defense to be weak for it to take advantage of the void.

Yan Yan Lingji had not yet achieved results. At this moment, Su Xuan flicked his sleeve, and mist emerged, heading toward the middle-aged man.

Yan Yan Lingji looked at Su Xuan in surprise, and then found that the Fire Charm technique had successfully broken through the other party’s heart defense.

She didn’t think much more and interrogated the middle-aged man.

Through an interrogation, his true identity was finally determined. He was indeed from the Net organization, a Heaven-grade, holding the sword "Duan~shui," so his code name in the Net was also called "Duanshui."

Even though there had been speculation earlier, hearing this from the man’s own mouth, Su Xuan still couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

It seemed that every generation of the holder of the King of Yue’s eight swords, Duanshui, was a defective person. In the original work, the future holder of the Duanshui sword covered his eyes, suspected of being blind. It was precisely because he did not see things with his eyes that his hearing was incomparably sharp, and he even reached the realm of the heart eye, seeing things with the heart eye and often seeing many flaws that the naked eye could not see.

Although this contemporary holder of the Duanshui sword only had one eye blinded, he only had one arm. Taken together, it was not much better.

Was it because the Duanshui sword looked tattered on the outside that its sword master also had to be a defective person?

Su Xuan thought so.

The interrogation continued.

Ying Zheng then also learned that Duanshui had received orders from his superiors to lead people to ambush Ying Zheng here.

And the one who issued the order to him.

Was another Heaven-grade of the Net—"Yanyue"!

Of the eight swords of the King of Yue, Duanshui was second, and Yanyue was first.

As the head of the eight swords, Yanyue’s identity was extremely special.

It seemed to be a confidant of the Net Lord, often issuing orders to other Heaven-grades in the capacity of a Heaven-grade.

Afterward, there was no need to interrogate further.

Ying Zheng already knew the answer he wanted.

After Wang Xuan Jian’s incident, he had the thought that things should not happen three times.

Now, this assassination was the third time.

His expression was gloomy, and he left this place, ignoring this Heaven-grade Net killer. In his heart, deep anger arose.

For that Father-Chancellor Lu Lu Buwei, who was acting as the controller of the Net, his perception had reached the extreme.

Since the other party disregarded the affection of these years, then do not blame him for not talking about affection.

It was Su Xuan who, upon learning that it was Yanyue who instigated Duanshui, showed a thoughtful look.

After interrogating Duanshui, Ying Zheng did not execute him. After all, keeping him could serve as a witness.

He let Gai Nie keep Duanshui under strict guard.

Afterward, the diplomatic mission’s carriage convoy continued to move forward.

On the subsequent journey, they did not encounter any ambushes; it seemed that Duanshui’s ambush was the last one.

However, Ying Zheng did not relax because of this.

Successive assassinations made him realize that the water inside Qin was extremely deep.

After returning to the country this time, he would settle accounts with these people one by one.

On this day, the diplomatic mission’s carriage convoy officially entered Xianyang.

Xianyang.

This was the name of the capital of Qin. It was established as the capital during the period of Duke Xiao of Qin. At that time, because Qin implemented the Shang Yang reform, its national strength advanced by leaps and bounds. The old capital, Yueyang, could no longer contain the fierce tiger that was Great Qin. So, under Shang Yang’s coordination, Xianyang City was finally built on a plain near the Wei River, not far from Hangu Pass.

"Xian" implies the water virtue of Qin, and "Yang" indicates that Qin is rising like the sun.

The ancient city was solemn, standing on the western frontier land. Standing on the ancient city, one could see the eight hundred miles of Qin River at a glance.

This was a majestic and domineering city.

When passing through the gate of Xianyang City and entering this city with a large population, one truly stepped into the political, economic, and cultural center of Qin.

Although Nightfall was an organization of the State of Han, the State of Han and Qin were neighbors. At that time, Nightfall had a cooperative relationship with the Net of Qin, so in Qin, there was also a part of Nightfall’s power lurking.

Perhaps this power was not strong, but it was easy to find a place for Su Xuan and the others to stay.

That’s right, after arriving near Xianyang, Su Xuan and Yan Yan Lingji left Ying Zheng’s team and entered Xianyang alone.

Next, he would lurk in Xianyang City for a period of time, becoming the help hidden in the dark for Ying Zheng.
