Chapter 243

Zhao Gao died very suddenly, without any warning.

Previously, he had also dispatched his capable subordinates, the Six Sword Slaves and Yanyi, to Baiyue City to be responsible for finding a concubine for Hu Hai.

Baiyue City.

The Six Sword Slaves had already entered the Queen's Manor in the very center.

"Split up and act."

Zhen Gang, the leader, said very calmly.

They had just arrived in Baiyue and were not familiar with the situation.

Therefore, they had to scout the internal structure of the Queen's Manor in advance.

This was to facilitate knowing where to leave the fastest if the discussion didn't go well later.

It was not just the Six Sword Slaves; the style of the Net's operations had always been like this.

After all, they were mainly responsible for assassinations and intelligence gathering.

Arriving in a strange place, if they weren't familiar with the terrain, they would easily die once they encountered danger.

In this operation, the Six Sword Slaves mainly served as guards; the one who was really going to discuss matters with Baiyue City was Yanyi.

In terms of strategy and conversation style, Yanyi far exceeded the Six Sword Slaves.

The Six Sword Slaves only knew how to kill; they were inferior to Yanyi in handling matters and strategy.

"No need to split up."

"None of you are leaving today!"

The Six Sword Slaves immediately drew their swords and found suitable and accurate positions.

"Who is it?"

Zhen Gang asked coldly.

The cultivation realms of the six of them were all Early to Mid-Stage Grandmaster.

Moreover, as assassins, their perception was very sensitive; even martial artists at the Late or Perfected Grandmaster stage would not find it easy to approach them silently.

Therefore, being able to approach the six of them, the opponent's strength must be very strong.

However, even so, the Six Sword Slaves were not afraid.

The six of them were inseparable day and night and had always handled tasks together.

They cooperated with each other very tacitly.

Even martial artists at the Perfected Grandmaster realm had been killed by them in large numbers.

The Six Sword Slaves even had the strength to fight against powerhouses at the Peak of the Perfected Grandmaster realm, like the leader of the Net, Zhao Gao.

"Running dogs of the Net, daring to trespass into my Baiyue City."

"And daring to come to my Queen's Manor to act presumptuously."

"Seeking death!"

After speaking, Yan Lingji and Hong Lian appeared in front of the Six Sword Slaves.

The two looked at the Six Sword Slaves coldly, their eyes filled with disgust.

"Baiyue City does not welcome the Net."

Yan Lingji said coldly.

"Get out, or die!"

Hong Lian was even more impolite, the long sword in her hand constantly releasing sword hums.

It seemed as if she was very eager to kill the six people in front of her.

"Queen, we have come because we have important matters to discuss."

"We have no malice, so please give us a chance to speak. After we finish, if you don't agree, we will leave immediately!"

Yanyi appeared and said to Yan Lingji in a very respectful tone.

His strength was at the Late Grandmaster stage.

Therefore, not only in strategy but also in strength, he far exceeded any one of the Six Sword Slaves.

Yanyi was one of the top assassins in the Net.

His power within the Net was second only to Zhao Gao.

"Oh? Important matters."

"Let's hear them!"

Yan Lingji smiled playfully.

She didn't care, nor was she interested in the Net's purpose in coming to Baiyue.

The reason she wanted to listen was to pass some boring time.

If it weren't for preserving the foundation of Baiyue.

Yan Lingji would have long since followed Zi Nu and the others to Xianyang to find Ying Ziyu.

After Zi Nu's letter arrived last time, explaining Ying Ziyu's various arrangements, even though Yan Lingji wanted to see Ying Ziyu very much.

She still had to prioritize Ying Ziyu's plans and arrangements.

She could only continue to stay in Baiyue.

Not long ago, she received another letter from Lord Dongjun.

Saying that Ying Ziyu would come to Baiyue before long.

This news made Yan Lingji excited for a long time.

While waiting for Ying Ziyu to come, she could use the Net to pass the time.

After all, even if the waiting was exciting, happy, and thrilling, it was still waiting; if she didn't do something.

Waiting in vain was simply too boring.

"Lord Zhao Gao sent us here for the sake of an alliance between Great Qin and Baiyue."

Yanyi didn't directly say they were looking for a concubine for Hu Hai.

Instead, he said Great Qin was preparing to form an alliance with Baiyue.

In this way, the tone of this conversation was set directly.

It was Great Qin and Baiyue.

Not the Net and Baiyue.

And certainly not Hu Hai and Baiyue.

After setting this matter, they would talk about other things later.

It would be based on Great Qin, and everything would be for the sake of the alliance between the two sides.

"Alliance?"
