Chapter 168: Do not enter a forest when you meet one, Luo Wang ambush!

Su Xuan's words were soon learned by Li Si.

Under the order of Li Si, the chief envoy, the diplomatic mission soon stopped.

Although they stopped according to Li Si's order, they could not help but have some questions in their hearts.

Immediately, they saw Su Xuan, Ying Zheng, Gainie, and others walk down from a carriage in the middle.

As for Su Xuan and the others, as the journey home progressed, they were not unfamiliar with them, knowing they were big figures with unusual identities.

Especially Ying Zheng and Gainie; long before the diplomatic mission to the State of Han, when the mission was ready, Li Si had warned them not to speculate about the identities of these two.

If he discovered that anyone dared to have other thoughts, do not blame him for being ruthless.

Li Si had said such harsh words, and combined with the fact that Li Si was the envoy appointed by Chancellor Lu Buwei and was a favorite in front of the Chancellor, those of them who followed Li Si to Xinzheng to join in the fun certainly did not dare to have any other thoughts. Even occasionally bumping into Ying Zheng and Gainie, they were extremely respectful.

At this moment, finding Ying Zheng and the others walking down from the carriage, all members of the diplomatic mission just took one more look and then withdrew their gaze.

"Mr. Su?"

Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan, looking puzzled.

Li Si also looked at Su Xuan curiously.

He did not have much contact with Su Xuan and had not personally experienced the Zilan Pavilion incident; he only knew that Su Xuan and Yan Lingji were distinguished guests of the Qin Wang, and after the Qin Wang left Xinzheng, he brought these two along.

At first, this made Li Si very curious: what kind of person made the Qin Wang so respectful? Until he learned Su Xuan's name and knew that this man in green was the former Immortal Master and current demon who had once caused a stir in the State of Han.

He did not know when the Qin Wang had gotten together with this person.

Li Si was very worried about the Qin Wang's safety at first; after all, Su Xuan could be considered a person with a "bad track record"—first harming the King of Han, then killing the Great General of Han, Ji Wuye; no matter how you looked at it, he did not look like a good person.

The Qin Wang saw his worry but told him not to worry, and even said that Su Xuan had saved his life.

Since the Qin Wang had said so, Li Si clearly could not say anything more, so he became increasingly curious about Su Xuan.

Earlier in the military camp, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian made up, gaining a strong reinforcement. Afterward, he learned from Ying Zheng that it was because of Su Xuan, so Li Si had a preliminary glimpse of Su Xuan's ability.

At this moment, Su Xuan spoke again, so he really wanted to see what Su Xuan wanted to do.

Su Xuan turned his head and looked at Gainie: "As a top swordsman, you must have felt it too!"

Gainie's eyebrows tightened; felt what?

Since Su Xuan said so, he must have his reasons.

Gainie then observed carefully, and finally, he discovered it.

"It's too quiet!"

Gainie spoke, stating what he had discovered.

"Is there a problem with it being quiet?" Li Si looked puzzled; he had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Quietness itself is the biggest problem!" Gainie said in a deep voice, "This is a dense forest, with trees on both sides..."

Li Si did not think there was any problem with this at first, but after continuing to perceive the surrounding environment, he finally realized the problem.

"Yes, there isn't even the sound of birds; it's too quiet."

"We have probably walked into an ambush!" Gainie said his guess.

Since the assassination by Xuan Jian at Zilan Pavilion and hearing Wang Jian's words in the military camp, he also realized the undercurrents lurking in the Qin Guo and knew the seriousness of the matter.

If the person in the shadows was truly determined to kill the Qin Wang outside.

These two events were likely not the end.

At the same time, Gainie could roughly guess why the enemy set an ambush here.

The Art of War says: Do not enter a forest when you meet one.

There were dense forests on both sides here, but they had to step into it; the main reason was that this road ran through the entire dense forest.

Su Xuan's gaze was calm as he looked at the dense forests on both sides, and his light voice spread out and echoed: "How much longer are you going to hide?"

After the voice came out, there was no movement, as if he were talking to himself.

Su Xuan was not angry either.

"Wind, come!"

With a sharp shout, a gale was born, and then under Su Xuan's manipulation, it swept toward the forests on both sides.

Clatter!

Trees swayed, fallen leaves flew, and the weeds on both sides of the road drooped one after another.

If there was no movement, the people hiding in the forest could disguise themselves extremely well, but with this wind born for no reason, the figures hidden in the forest could finally no longer hide.

Under the gale, all things were revealed.

Many figures originally hidden in the grass and trees were exposed one by one.

Seeing that they were exposed, combined with Su Xuan's words earlier, they simply stopped hiding.

Many figures dressed in black clothes drew their swords at the same time and attacked the diplomatic mission.

Today, not a single person from this diplomatic mission would be able to return alive.

This was the mission given to them by their superiors.

They had even thought it through: after completing the mission, they would fake the scene as a robbery by bandits. Although the laws and discipline in the Qin Guo were strict, there were still quite a few bandits. This diplomatic mission was unlucky and encountered bandits on the way back, unfortunately all dying.

The sound of drawing swords rang out one after another, and the sword light was dazzling and brilliant.

Gainie stepped forward, standing in front of Ying Zheng, ready to protect Ying Zheng's safety with his life.

Although Yan Lingji also had considerable strength, she had no intention of making a move.

The main reason was that Su Xuan was too strong.

That day, hundreds of White Armor soldiers were all slaughtered by Su Xuan's aerial sword control. These mere dozens of assassins, even if they were numerous, what did they count for?

Since Su Xuan pointed out their existence, it meant that to Su Xuan, they were all... mere clay chickens and pottery dogs!

A white sword suddenly appeared on Su Xuan's palm.

Su Xuan let go, the white sword flew out into the air, white light rose, and wherever it passed, there was endless murderous intent.

Swish swish!!

The long sword flew out, and many killers dressed in black had not yet had time to react when the sword edge swept across their throats, taking their lives.

Gainie's expression was serious as he observed Su Xuan's flying sword technique again.

Li Si was extremely shocked to see the flying sword for the first time.

Ying Zheng also sighed in his heart; such means were truly miraculous.

Just at this moment, behind Ying Zheng, suddenly, another sword attacked. ===== CHAPTER 170 =====
