Chapter 143

~7 min read 1,302 words

The assassins from the Night Curtain, in terms of quality, were not as good as the Net organization in Qin, so it was not surprising that they could not cope when facing the experts of the Iron and Blood Alliance.

But the Night Curtain could invite foreign aid.

To be precise, it was not foreign aid, but the Raincoat Guest who managed the Night Curtain. After sending assassins to follow Han Fei and preparing to stop Han Fei from bringing the grain back, he wrote a letter to inform Qin about this matter, wanting to see what Qin's attitude was.

The reason why the Raincoat Guest had such a change was because of the many things that happened in Qin, which forced his mentality to change.

In the beginning, Su Xuan used some insidious means to force him to lead the Night Curtain to pledge allegiance by planting a gu worm in him.

But with the changes in the situation in Qin, after Ying Zheng returned to his country, he first executed Lao Ai and then dismissed Lu Lu Buwei from his position as Chancellor.

The Raincoat Guest gradually realized that Su Xuan might really be a good destination, at least much better than the Net.

Su Xuan had a close relationship with the Qin King Ying Zheng and was Ying Zheng's confidant. Working for Su Xuan was equivalent to working for the Qin King. Joining the Net, although also working for the Qin King, the relationship was still quite distant.

After Su Xuan received the letter from the Raincoat Guest, he also realized that he could not let Han Fei bring the grain back to Han.

Although the Raincoat Guest's motivation was completely different from his—the Raincoat Guest stopped Han Fei from bringing the grain back because Su Xuan ordered her to drive up the price of grain in Han, and if Han Fei brought the grain back, it would not be conducive to driving up grain prices. And Su Xuan did not want Han Fei to bring the grain back simply because he hoped that Han could fall into chaos slowly.

However, the goals of both were the same.

And according to Su Xuan's understanding of Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, and others, they probably anticipated in advance that the Night Curtain would take action against them to stop them from bringing the grain back. So after some consideration, Su Xuan finally gave up cultivation, left Qin, and personally took a trip to Wei to contact the people of the Night Curtain.

The reason he took action personally was to prevent accidents. Although he could send Eastern Sovereign, Moon God, and others to stop Han Fei from bringing the grain back, Su Xuan was always a little uneasy about them taking action.

After all, regarding this severe drought in Han, he and Ying Zheng had many plans, just to wait for Han to fall into chaos, and then Qin would take action, provide benevolence and righteousness, and then occupy Han's land, intending to make the people of Han return to their hearts.

The long sword flew across the sky. Although the experts of the Iron and Blood Alliance defeated the Night Curtain assassins, under this flying sword, they were still like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, their lives dying under the sword.

On horseback, Wei Zhuang and Han Fei had ugly expressions.

After seeing this long sword dancing in the air, they realized who the person who took action was.

Although the sword had changed, according to what they knew, only one person in the world could do this.

"Su Xuan! It's you!"

Wei Zhuang's deep voice sounded. Even though he did not see Su Xuan's true face and did not know where Su Xuan was, he still could not help but speak.

After Wei Zhuang's words came out, the long sword dancing across the sky continued to wantonly take the lives of the experts of the Iron and Blood Alliance. A breeze blew, and a man dressed in black clothes appeared suddenly, standing with his hands behind his back.

It was Su Xuan!

Su Xuan stood quietly on the ground, looking at Wei Zhuang and Han Fei on horseback, his lips curling into a faint smile: "Two, long time no see!"

Wei Zhuang and Han Fei ignored Su Xuan's greeting.

After seeing Su Xuan, many of the doubts in their hearts were answered.

Wei Zhuang's voice was cold: "The rise in grain prices in Han is indeed your work!"

The soaring grain prices seemed to be the work of the Night Curtain and Ji Ji Yihu.

But according to the intelligence known to Wei Zhuang and others, the Night Curtain had fallen into Su Xuan's control as early as last year, so they once speculated that this matter might be related to Su Xuan.

Until now, they finally had the answer.

"I did instruct the Night Curtain to do some things!" Su Xuan did not deny it and readily admitted it.

"Do you know how many families will be broken and how many people will die of hunger because of your actions?" Han Fei looked at Su Xuan, extremely angry.

"Have there been few people who died in wars throughout history?" Su Xuan said indifferently: "On the contrary, if they do not experience a great chaos, how will they see clearly how incompetent the monarch they serve is, and that he cannot even manage their life and death."

"Since the monarch and ministers of Han are unrighteous, causing many people to have broken families and be displaced, then do not blame Qin for coming to save the people and save the common people!"

Su Xuan's words reached the ears of the two, and Han Fei's expression changed suddenly.

"Qin wants to..."

He finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

This drought in Han was a natural disaster, and the subsequent rise in grain prices was a man-made disaster. However, the real man-made disaster was not just this.

Qin was preparing to take action against Han during this drought!

The 100, 00 Qin troops stationed at the border were never a coincidence, but something Qin had plotted long ago. Even the turmoil within Han was Qin's means.

"Did you guess it?"

Su Xuan noticed the change in Han Fei's expression. "Unfortunately, it is too late."

"For the sake of us being old friends, I allow you and Wei Zhuang to return to Han. However, as for this grain, don't even think about bringing it back."

Su Xuan's words were calm, but Han Fei and Wei Zhuang felt a deep chill and an unquestionable attitude from them.

Wei Zhuang knew Su Xuan's strength, but at this time, he had already made up his mind: "What if I say that I must bring this grain back to Han?"

"Then let's see if you have the strength!"

Su Xuan said indifferently, and the long sword that was dancing in the air and constantly taking the lives of the experts of the Iron and Blood Alliance flew through the air and fell into his hand.

"The Shark Tooth in your hand is a rare good sword in the world. I just don't know how it compares to the Heaven Question in my hand?"

As soon as the name Heaven Question came out, Wei Zhuang's eyes suddenly became serious!

Since when he did not know, the ranking of swords in the sword manual compiled by Feng Huzi often changed, but the sword ranked first had never changed. Its name—Heaven Question!

This sword was a famous sword of Chu, later fell into the hands of Qin, and was the sword worn by the Qin King!

Wei Zhuang did not expect that this sword had fallen into Su Xuan's hands.

Ying Zheng had bestowed this sword upon Su Xuan!
