Chapter 94

Because of the case of the Qin envoy being murdered, Qin took the opportunity to make trouble for Han Guo, and 100,000 troops were stationed at the border of the two countries.

For Li Si to return to Qin, he first had to pass through these large armies stationed at the border before he could formally step into the territory of Qin.

Logically speaking, he had made such a great contribution, biting the case of the envoy being murdered, forcing Han Guo to cede land and offer cities. After the news spread, the large army guarding the border should have welcomed him, the envoy who had made such a great contribution, with a grand ceremony.

However, after approaching the border, Li Si did not find any signs of soldiers coming to welcome them.

This made him faintly perceive a trace of something wrong.

In the carriage, Su Xuan spoke to Ying Zheng.

"Does the Qin Wang remember what I said?"

"Although Xuan Xuan Jian is dead, the Net will not pin all its hopes on one Heaven-grade assassin!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng’s expression tightened, and Gai Nie also realized something, his expression changing slightly.

"Do you mean, sir, that even when we have arrived here, the Net will still launch an assassination attempt on me?"

Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan.

Su Xuan said calmly: "As long as the Qin Wang has not returned to the Zhangtai Palace, the danger will always exist."

"If you don't believe me, Qin Wang, 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 Wusui border. The mission returned from Han Guo. Logically speaking, scouts should have discovered them on the way and then taken the initiative to lead the way for them.

But from Han Guo to this vicinity, Li Si’s mission did not encounter any scouts.

This was the first 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 interrogate them arrogantly, just like treating 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 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 before arriving at the camp, the attitude of these soldiers was really too subtle.

Logically speaking, Li Si went to Han Guo and made such a great contribution. On the way back, he should not have been treated coldly.

Following Li Si, they entered the camp, and the mission stayed in the camp temporarily.

Through observation, Gai Nie found that there were many soldiers guarding the camp 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 central army camp. This posture was like preventing them from escaping.

Gai Nie told Ying Zheng 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 our Qin state. What exactly does he want to do?" Ying Zheng was somewhat unhappy. Since arriving at the camp, he had felt various abnormalities. He wanted to return to Xianyang directly, but because Qin had put pressure on Han Guo earlier, to return to Xianyang, he had to pass through here.

And here, he sensed something wrong.

Just at this time, 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 camp, practicing Qi refining, and Yan Yan Lingji was still playing with her Black and White Xuan 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?

It seemed to know what Ying Zheng was thinking, Su Xuan, who was practicing with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

"If the Qin Wang wants to know the reason for the matter, wouldn't it be known if you 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 camp was already tightly guarded by the army, but 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.

Su Xuan stood up and said calmly: "When Li Si left earlier, I left a trace of magic power on him. It can come in handy now."

Listening to these similar words, Yan Yan Lingji immediately put down the sword in her hand.

She couldn't help but think of the hand Su Xuan displayed in that cold palace in Han Guo that day.

Afterward, Su Xuan waved 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 floating in mid-air. Ripples spread on the bright mirror, and then it presented the scene inside a camp.

Su Xuan had displayed a similar scene once in the Zilan Pavilion earlier.

That time, the bright mirror condensed by Su Xuan revealed the map of the world, which made Ying Zheng know that there were Nine Provinces beyond the Nine Provinces, but this time, the scene that emerged was completely different from that time.

To be precise, the 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 camp shown was the camp 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 scene revealed in the bright mirror, Gai Nie and Ying Zheng, as well as Yan Yan Lingji who came to watch the fun, 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 camp. Li Si first bowed to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi was silent for a long time, and then 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 Lu Xiangguo’s person."

"This person, after all, cannot become two people."

"Don't you think so? Mr. Li!"

Wang Yi seemed to be caring about Li Si, but these words, whether they fell into Li Si’s ears, or to Ying Zheng and Gai Nie who peeped 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 sentence, he could already determine that the various abnormalities since entering the camp were indeed related to Wang Yi. Wang Yi was very likely Lu Lu Buwei’s person.

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 arrive here, I will help Mr. Li clean up 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 Wang Yi’s deliberate action, 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 revealed his identity directly before arriving at the camp that day, with Wang Yi’s methods, he would have executed everyone who knew his identity.
