Chapter 156: Under the mysterious light, there is nowhere to hide!
"Do you mean, sir, that even when we have reached this point, the Net will still launch an assassination against me?"
Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan.
Su Xuan said indifferently: "As long as the King of Qin has not returned to the Zhangtai Palace for a single day, the danger will always exist."
"If you don't believe it, King of Qin, just wait and see!"
Su Xuan's words made Ying Zheng and Gai Nie, who was guarding him, alert.
Soon, the mission arrived in front of the Qin army camp located at the Wu Sui border. The mission returned from the State of Han. Logically speaking, scouts should have discovered them on the way and taken the initiative to lead the way for them.
But from the State of Han to this vicinity, Li Si's mission did not encounter any scouts.
This was one point of doubt, and the second point of doubt was that after arriving here, the Qin army clearly saw the mission but still came up to question them arrogantly, as if they were treating them like enemies. This was the second point of doubt. It was not until Li Si came forward and verified his identity with the tally that the scouts coldly led them into the main camp.
Originally, Ying Zheng also wanted to reveal his identity, but because of Su Xuan's words on the way, he did not reveal it in the end. Especially since the attitude of these soldiers before arriving at the military camp was too subtle.
Logically speaking, Li Si went to the State of Han and made such a great merit. On the way back, it was impossible for him to be treated coldly.
Following Li Si, they entered the military camp. After the mission temporarily stayed in the tent.
Through observation, Gai Nie discovered that there were many soldiers guarding the surroundings of the tent where they lived, and the number was large.
If it was to protect the safety of the mission, there was no need to do this at all.
After all, this was the main camp. This posture was like preventing them from escaping.
Gai Nie told Ying Zheng about his discovery.
Ying Zheng frowned and asked Gai Nie: "The main general of this army is Wang Yi, right!"
"Yes."
"Wang Yi can also be considered an old general of my Qin Guo. What exactly does he want to do?" Ying Zheng was somewhat unhappy. Since arriving at the military camp, he had felt various abnormalities. He wanted to return to Xianyang directly, but because of the Qin Guo putting pressure on the State of Han earlier, to return to Xianyang, he had to pass through here.
And here, he perceived some abnormalities.
At this moment, Wang Yi's people came here and invited the envoy Li Si to meet.
After Li Si informed Ying Zheng, he went to Wang Yi's place under the guidance of the soldiers.
Su Xuan sat cross-legged in the corner of the tent, practicing Qi refining, and Yan Lingji was still playing with her Black and White Xuan Jian.
After Li Si left, Ying Zheng could only continue to think about what Wang Yi's purpose was. Did this matter have anything to do with Wang Yi?
Seeming to know what Ying Zheng was thinking, Su Xuan, who was practicing with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.
"If the King of Qin wants to know the reason for the matter, wouldn't it be enough to listen to what Li Si and Wang Yi are talking about?"
Ying Zheng was stunned, and then hurriedly said to Su Xuan: "Do you have a way, sir?"
The surroundings of the tent had long been strictly guarded by the army. However, if it were this person, perhaps he would have a way to bypass the many soldiers and sneak to the side of Wang Yi's camp.
Just as Ying Zheng was thinking this.
He saw Su Xuan stand up and say indifferently: "When Li Si left earlier, I left a trace of magic power on him. It can come in handy now."
Hearing these similar words, Yan Lingji immediately put down the sword in her hand.
She could not help but think of the move Su Xuan had displayed in that cold palace in the State of Han that day.
Afterward, he saw Su Xuan wave his palm, and a bright moon slowly emerged. Then, he took down the bright moon with his bare hands, turning it into a bright mirror suspended in mid-air. Ripples spread on the bright mirror, and then it presented the scene inside a tent.
Su Xuan had displayed a similar move once in the Zilan Pavilion earlier.
That time, the bright mirror condensed by Su Xuan revealed the map of the world, making Ying Zheng know that beyond the Nine Provinces, there were still Nine Provinces. But this time, the scene that emerged was completely different from that time.
To be precise, last time, it was just Su Xuan using magic power to condense the map of the world, but this time, it was the real "Moon-Taking" technique.
In the bright mirror, the military tent shown was the one where Wang Yi was.
Wang Yi was white-haired and sat on a chair. His head was lowered, and the dim lamp light shone on him, dragging a long shadow on the ground. Even if it was just the picture revealed in the bright mirror, Gai Nie, Ying Zheng, and Yan Lingji, who came to watch the fun, all felt a sense of killing intent.
After Li Si arrived here under the guidance of the soldiers, the soldiers left, and Li Si and Wang Yi were alone in the tent. Li Si first bowed to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi was silent for a long time before a cold voice came from his mouth: "Mr. Li, you must think twice. Since you have become an official in the court, don't be fickle. You are a person of Chancellor Lu."
"This one person cannot become two people."
"Don't you think so? Mr. Li!"
Wang Yi seemed to be concerned about Li Si, but these words, whether falling into Li Si's ears or to Ying Zheng and Gai Nie, who were peeping at the scene here with the "Moon-Taking" technique displayed by Su Xuan, made them feel a trace of chill.
"Wang Yi!"
Ying Zheng deeply recited the name of this old general. With just this one sentence, he could already determine that the various abnormalities since entering the military camp were indeed related to Wang Yi. Wang Yi was very likely a person of Lu Buwei.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to remind Li Si like this.
And what made Ying Zheng's heart even more awe-struck was Wang Yi's subsequent words.
After seeing Li Si silent, Wang Yi suddenly laughed again and said: "In the mission, besides Mr. Li, the main envoy, there are many accompanying people. Mr. Li is only one person after all, and cannot become two people. With one person's strength and two eyes, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, allowing some lawless people to mix into the mission."
"But Mr. Li doesn't have to worry. When you get here, I will help Mr. Li clear out all those lawless people in the mission, and will never let them mix into Xianyang."
"Mr. Li doesn't have to think about doing anything, just watch quietly!"
Li Si's expression suddenly became very ugly.
Ying Zheng's expression also became ugly.
He finally realized why there were no scouts coming to welcome the mission and why the attitude toward the mission was so cold.
All of this was deliberately done by Wang Yi, deliberately downplaying the existence of the mission, not wanting people to know that he was mixed in the mission.
I am afraid that even if he had directly revealed his identity before arriving at the military camp that day, with Wang Yi's methods, he would have executed everyone who knew his identity.
