Chapter 592
"To prevent people from knowing which carriage he was hiding in, Ying Zheng prepared several identical six-horse carriages. It must be said that this method is indeed clever enough."
"But he still had omissions!"
Fan Zeng’s voice was somewhat hoarse. He was a person who did not understand martial arts, but he had been hiding in this swamp for several days like those martial artists, suffering from mosquito bites, and because he was worried about being slack for a moment and missing the best assassination opportunity, his body was exhausted to the extreme these few days. But at this moment, after seeing Ying Zheng’s Eastern Tour team, his spirit was unprecedentedly excited, and his thoughts were unprecedentedly clear.
"There are six identical six-horse carriages this time, but only when the second and fourth carriages pass by, the traces on the ground are deeper, which means that there is no one in the other four carriages. Only in these two carriages, because there are people, the carriage is heavier, which will leave such traces."
"Although I don’t know which carriage Ying Zheng is riding in, six carriages have already excluded four, leaving only two. I believe our luck will not be that bad."
After Fan Zeng’s hoarse voice spread.
Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo beside him narrowed their eyes, and Xiang Liang said: "I will send a signal!"
In Yunmengze, after Fan Zeng deduced that Ying Zheng would leave Xianyang because of Fengshan, they secretly prepared.
During these few months, not only did Ying Zheng make preparations for the Eastern Tour and Fengshan, but for Xiang Liang and others, they also tried their best to contact the remnants of the Chu state and made preparations for this assassination.
When carrying out this assassination, they were prepared to succeed or die.
It was mainly because of the rumor earlier that Ying Zheng had obtained the elixir of immortality. If they did not do something, Ying Zheng would basically be immortal. At the moment, although there were still many people who missed the Chu state and wanted to restore the country, if a few decades passed, I am afraid no one would remember the Chu state.
It was also after that incident that Xiang Liang and others understood one thing, and that was that revenge must be done early.
If they could not take revenge, they would rather die.
Bang!!
A signal flare suddenly appeared in mid-air, fireworks bloomed, dazzling to the extreme.
Don’t question where the signal flare came from.
This world has many black technologies, and gunpowder is not a rare thing. It was created by someone a long time ago. What is a mere signal flare? The Gongshu family even created crossbow arrows that can explode and split.
"Over there?!!"
With the appearance of this signal flare, not only did the people hiding in the reeds arrive, but Meng Tian and others who were guarding the safety of the Eastern Tour team also noticed it.
Qin soldiers immediately rushed toward that side.
However, before they could rush over.
Two more teams killed their way out of the reeds.
They were all wearing armor and holding sharp blades. The leader of one team wore a helmet and ancient armor, and the helmet had a pile of pheasant feathers. In the middle of the helmet was the small seal script character "Ying". He had a weathered and cold face, and on his cheeks, there were two tattooed characters, "Kill" and "Destroy". On the chest of the armor, there was a mark suspected to be the Xuanwu of the Four Symbols Spirit Beasts.
In his hands, he held two halberds. A halberd, also known as an axe-halberd, a small axe, compared to an ordinary axe, had a smaller body, but the handle at its end was extremely long.
This man was burly, and behind him followed a group of people. Although the number was not as large as the Qin army, he had no fear. Facing the Qin army, he pointed the two halberds in his hands toward the long sky and shouted loudly, "The violent Qin is lawless, Ying Zheng should be executed!"
The sound of the shout echoed, shaking people’s hearts.
The people behind him also responded one after another.
For a time, the sounds of "The violent Qin is lawless, Ying Zheng should be executed" sounded one after another.
Hearing this sound, Meng Tian’s face suddenly became gloomy. When he saw this man, he felt some familiarity, but he did not have time to think about who the other party was, and because of this sentence, he developed a strong killing intent toward the man.
"It’s the rebels of the Chu state, kill them, leave none!"
Although he did not remember who the man was, the armor on the other party’s body had already revealed the other party’s origin; it was the remnant force of the Chu state.
The Qin army beside Meng Tian immediately greeted them and fought with this group of Chu rebels.
Besides the burly man holding the two halberds, the leader of the other team wore red armor with a red cloak, and a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his true appearance. But judging from his figure, he seemed to be a teenager. Of course, it was also possible that he was naturally short. He held a precious sword and led many Chu soldiers to fight with the Qin army.
Even if the two teams were added together, the number was not as large as the Qin army, and they had no intention of retreating.
For a time, as the Qin army and the Chu rebels fought, the Eastern Tour team was forced to stop, and the scene fell into chaos for a time.
It seemed that the Chu rebels were outnumbered and were looking for their own deaths, but in fact, their move was to find opportunities for some people.
Just when the scene fell into chaos.
I don’t know when, a golden peony flew down from mid-air.
Many people saw this golden peony. As the golden peony landed above the six-horse carriage, it suddenly dispersed, and many golden leaves scattered in all directions. As the sunlight in the sky fell on the golden leaves, in an instant, golden light overflowed, as if a scorching sun was hanging high. Many people watching this scene had their eyes burned.
In the world of martial arts, there are many famous thieves.
The Black and White Xuan Xuan Jian of the past was one of them.
In the current world of martial arts, there are two most famous thieves. One is the leader of the Mohist school, Dao Zhi, who has the title of King of Thieves. The other is called "Ji Bu". Ji Bu is mysterious and keeps his promises very well. In the martial arts world, he has the reputation of "a promise is worth a thousand gold, as immovable as a mountain," and because he is good at stealing, he gives notice before stealing and plunders the wealth of the rich and unkind. He acts extremely arrogantly, and every time he commits a crime, there will be witnesses at the scene seeing the appearance of a golden peony, so the martial arts world gave him the title of "Golden Peony, Hidden Tiger in the Flowers."
At this moment, the golden peony appeared in the world, and the identity of the person who made the move was self-evident. It was the famous chivalrous thief Ji Bu.
As for why Ji Bu made the move? Of course, it was because before he mixed in the martial arts world, he was the commander of the Shadow Tiger Legion, one of the four major legions of the Chu state.
