Chapter 134

Yan Lingji's expression was shocked.

She had never expected that there would be such a hidden story behind Eight Linglong.

"Heaven, Kill, Earth, Absolute, Ghost, Charm, Demon, Monster" is the rank division of assassins within Luo Wang, divided into eight levels. Ghost, Charm, Demon, and Monster are small ghosts, the lowest-level assassins, while Heaven, Kill, Earth, and Absolute are assassins who can truly be brought to the table.

Heaven-level First-Class is the top assassin of Luo Wang.

Not to mention, he also has a famous sword "Black and White Xuan Xuan Jian" in his hand, which originated from the ancient State of Yue and was personally supervised and cast by King Goujian of Yue!

When a flying bird passes by and touches its blade, it is like being cut off!

This sword is ranked fourth among the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, and even among the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, it is among the best, not to mention that besides this sword, the assassin named Xuan Xuan Jian was himself a famous assassin and thief in the Jianghu back then, with extraordinary strength.

"800"

"Black and White... Xuan Xuan Jian!"

Yan Lingji whispered this name, and then couldn't help but show great interest on her face.

Su Xuan saw this, "Why, are you very interested in Xuan Xuan Jian?"

Yan Lingji did not deny it and nodded, "To be precise, I am interested in the two swords in his hand!"

"The Eight Swords of the King of Yue have an unusual meaning for us people of Baiyue."

Baiyue was a part of the ancient State of Yue after it split, but even if it split, they still revered King Goujian of Yue, who once dominated the Spring and Autumn period, and as people of Baiyue, it was normal for them to be interested in the swords left by Goujian.

Even, Yan Lingji felt a bit of regret in her heart.

Tian Ze had always liked to collect ancient swords. If he knew that the Eight Swords of the King of Yue had appeared in Xinzheng, he might have taken action to fight for them.

Unfortunately, Tian Ze had already left the State of Han and returned to the land of Baiyue.

"If you like this sword, after killing Xuan Xuan Jian, I can give it to you!" Su Xuan looked at Yan Lingji and said softly.

Yan Lingji looked at Su Xuan in disbelief, not expecting Su Xuan to say such things.

Hearing this, Su Xuan did not intend to let Yemu help Luo Wang complete the task; on the contrary, he had developed killing intent toward Xuan Xuan Jian, the top assassin who came to Xinzheng this time.

Did Luo Wang offend Su Xuan somewhere?

Su Xuan's origin was a mystery; such a top expert could not have no background.

Yan Lingji couldn't help but guess.

Su Xuan noticed Yan Lingji's doubt and didn't explain too much, just said a sentence with unclear meaning, "Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei joined forces to kill my financier, so I have to find a new financier, otherwise, how can I cultivate?"

Su Xuan's old financier was the King of Han, who had provided Su Xuan with many medicinal herbs for cultivation.

After the King of Han died, this resource supply was cut off.

Even if Su Xuan controlled Yemu and could continue to collect many medicinal herbs through Yemu's channels, there was still a difference between the two.

Therefore, Su Xuan decided to find a new financier for himself.

And as for who the new financier would be, after learning that the new envoy of the Qin Guo had arrived in Xinzheng and the Luo Wang assassin followed closely behind, he already had an idea.

"The envoy of the Qin Guo, Li Si, requests an audience—"

In the bright palace, the loud voice of the master of ceremonies suddenly sounded. In the palace, the court officials were lined up on the left and right, and the Crown Prince of Han sat high on the throne in the center. Although he had not yet formally ascended the throne, this was only because the one-year mourning period had not yet ended. In terms of status, he was already equivalent to the King of Han.

After a series of crisp footsteps sounded, the Crown Prince of Han in the center looked at the young man who walked into the palace with a scepter in his hand, neither humble nor arrogant, with a solemn expression.

Also looking at this young envoy of the Qin Guo were Chancellor Zhang Kaidi and... Han Fei.

Han Fei had no official position, so logically speaking, he was not qualified to attend the morning court.

However, when he learned that the identity of the new envoy of the Qin Guo this time was his fellow apprentice Li Si, he asked Zhang Liang to pass this news to Zhang Kaidi.

Afterward, Zhang Kaidi persuaded the Crown Prince, allowing Han Fei to participate in this morning court.

No matter how much the Crown Prince trusted Ji Wuye before, after Ji Wuye died, he, who had always lacked his own opinions, could only rely on Chancellor Zhang Kaidi.

As for the reason for letting Han Fei participate in this morning court, it was also very simple.

The previous envoy of the Qin Guo was murdered, and the new envoy came so quickly, it was clear that he came with bad intentions. If Han Fei could use their fellow-apprentice friendship to influence this new envoy of the Qin Guo and make him less aggressive, it would be a great achievement.

At that time, the Crown Prince would not mind giving Han Fei an official position.

This was actually a transaction.

"Since I entered Xinzheng, I have seen the city bustling, as if no one remembers that the previous envoy of the Qin Guo was assassinated in this city!"

Holding the scepter in his hand, the young man named Li Si said this casually after walking into the palace.

Hearing this, it was like a knife instantly inserted into his heart. The Crown Prince of Han changed slightly, his palms couldn't help but clench tightly. Sure enough, as expected, the Qin Guo sent a new envoy with bad intentions!

The Crown Prince of Han was extremely terrified in his heart and could only stutter, "The State of Han has always served the Qin Guo with courtesy; such an accident is definitely not what we wished for."

Li Si held the scepter and turned around, looking at the civil and military officials of Han on the left and right, "In the diplomatic relations between the feudal states, they hear from each other every year, hire each other every year, and pay court to each other every generation. The Qin Guo follows the Zhou rites and sends envoys to hire, but the State of Han has not fulfilled its duty of protection. Is this the courtesy of the State of Han to the Qin Guo?"

Everyone was speechless, their expressions quite ugly.

Li Si said coldly again, "I heard that your late King was harmed by an evil person, and Tian Ze also set off a mighty storm in Xinzheng City. Until now, you have not brought any of them to justice. This shows that your people are all trash."

No longer paying attention to everyone's ugly expressions, Li Si said again, "If the State of Han is unable to destroy Tian Ze alone, the Great Qin Iron Cavalry is willing to help."

Han Fei arrived at the Zilan Pavilion with a solemn expression.

After the morning court ended, he went to the embassy again, wanting to persuade his fellow apprentice.

Li Si treated him with courtesy, but on the matter of letting the State of Han give an explanation, he was always aggressive and refused to loosen his attitude by even half a point.

This made Han Fei somewhat frustrated.

After returning to the Zilan Pavilion, he was preparing to discuss it with Wei Zhuang and others.

He saw that Wei Zhuang was acting mysterious.

Afterward, under Wei Zhuang's leadership, he met a new friend.

Wei Zhuang's fellow apprentice, Gai Nie.

Afterward, under Gai Nie's leadership, he met a man wearing a half-mask and full of nobility.

He called himself—"Young Master Shang"!
