Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 265 Zongheng
  In the west of Xinzheng City, in a remote alley, several figures stood together. The leader of them was a white-haired old man. He looked quite strong, with rough black skin and a white beard surrounding the whole person. His mouth was open, and there were strange scars etched on his forehead.

This person is Tang Qi, the leader of Xinzheng Qijue Hall, a dedicated Jianghu organization in Zilanxuan, a veteran who participated in the Baiyue War.

Naturally, the people around him were Qi Juetang's personnel.

At this time, they gathered here because of several corpses on the ground.

At this time, Wei Zhuang, who was covered in black robes, came over, holding a shark-tooth sword in his hand and wearing a hood on his head.

The sky was already dark at this time, and the afterglow of the sun would completely dissipate at any time, plunging the entire city into darkness, and Wei Zhuang's face was blurred under the dim light and shadow.

He walked to Tang Qi, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and asked coldly:
  "what's the situation?"

"My brothers accidentally discovered these corpses. Because of Boss Wei's instructions, the brothers were particularly sensitive these days, so they reported it to me, and I discovered... this, so I quickly informed Boss Wei of you. .”

As he spoke, Tang Qi used a long sword in his hand to pick up the collar of one of the corpses. A piece of skin on the neck was immediately exposed, and there was a lifelike black spider tattooed on it.

"Net!" Wei Zhuang's eyes narrowed and he revealed the identity of the deceased.

Then, he squatted down and carefully inspected the condition of the body, and his expression became more serious the more he looked at it.

There was only one wound on all the corpses, located at the throat, which was sealed with a sword. The sword marks were the same, slender and deep, indicating that they died with the same sword, and the blade was very sharp, so it should be a good sword.

There were large pools of blood around the bodies, but they did not appear to be splattered, but flowed around their respective wounds. It was obvious that the murderer drew the sword very quickly, and it was not until they fell to the ground that the blood slowly flowed out of the wounds.

Judging from the way they fell to the ground and the footprints on the ground, they should have been killed at about the same time without making much resistance.

The murderer is a master!
  Wei Zhuang came to a conclusion, but a vague strange feeling emerged in his heart.

This wound always gives me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu... But... it shouldn't be, shouldn't he be here?

Wei Zhuang suppressed the doubts in his heart, stood up and took a look at the surrounding buildings. Soon, he located a watchtower on the city wall in the distance.

It shouldn’t be a coincidence that we happen to be here!

"Just wait here, don't follow me." After Wei Zhuang ordered, he headed towards the location he just saw.

Tang Qi was obedient and watched Wei Zhuang leave with his hands behind his back without making any move.

Soon, Wei Zhuang arrived at the entrance of the watchtower on the city wall.

There are many watchtowers built on the city walls of Xinzheng City, but this is the capital of South Korea and is located in the hinterland. Although South Korea is not big, there is not much war pressure here. In addition, the strongest general, General Ji, carefully manages the army and vigorously Corruption has led to loose armaments, and these watchtowers that originally had great combat functions have been basically abandoned. Only a few towers near the city gate that have a large flow of people and are relatively prosperous still retain sufficient functionality. The rest is just the shell.

The building Wei Zhuang was eyeing was an abandoned one. The door didn't even have a lock on it. He pushed the door open and walked in. There was no light inside. Fortunately, there were several cracks on the top. The rising bright moon lowered its brilliance, illuminating tiny traces of light in the watchtower.

However, these weak white lights are not enough for people to see everything in the watchtower clearly. With Wei Zhuang's eyesight, they can only take a rough look.

The space at the top of the watchtower is covered with a large number of chains, and most of the stairs used to go up have been damaged and collapsed.

Wei Zhuang calmed down, alerted to all disturbances around him, and walked in slowly. As soon as he entered, the dilapidated door of the watchtower quietly closed. Then, the high clouds in the sky floated in front of the moon in time, slowly covering the moonlight, losing the only weak light source, and the watchtower fell into the deepest darkness. of darkness.

But at this moment, a blue sword light suddenly rose up and lit up, attacking from behind Ziweizhuang in an instant.

Wei Zhuang was on guard for a long time. He turned around and blocked the shark's teeth in front of him, catching the enemy's sword with a clang.

What followed was a dizzying fierce battle.

………………

On the other side, in the general's mansion in the south of the city, Mo Ya came to find Ji Wuye after a day.

Tianze definitely didn't find it, even if he found it, he didn't find it, let alone never found it in the first place. (a bit convoluted)
  Therefore, he came naturally because there was a letter from Luo Wang.

Although Mo Ya hadn't spoken yet, Ji Wuye knew that he must have something to report, so he quickly dismissed the servants who were serving him around him, and unexpectedly asked Mo Ya, who was standing upright in the hall:
  "The results will be available so soon?"

"Mo Ya is still tracing Tian Ze's whereabouts, but there is already news from Luo Wang."

Having good news was enough to satisfy Ji Wuye, but he was still surprised:
  "You actually contacted Luo Wang so quickly?"

"No." Mo Ya slowly shook his head, "It was the people in the net who found our people first."

"What did they say?" Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye felt that Luo Wang's line seemed to have a real chance, so he quickly asked.

Hearing this, Mo Ya said in a clear voice:

"The people from Luowang are still here for the mission mentioned last time. They said they have confirmed that the target has reached Xinzheng."

Ji Wuye didn't care about the other party's mission, so he waved his hand impatiently and asked:

"There is no need to say more about their affairs. Have you asked the envoy about them?"

"The other party said it on their own initiative." Mo Ya nodded and continued, "They said that the death of the envoy is closely related to this mission. As long as the mission is successfully completed, the Qin State will not delve into the matter further. But if we Without cooperation, this matter will be difficult to achieve.”

When Ji Wuye heard this, he was neither happy that there was a new solution to the envoy case, nor did he bother to express his anger at Luo Yu's behavior of forcing him to do so. Instead, he squeezed his thick eyebrows into a ball, thinking about certain issues with a solemn expression. .

Even as naive as he is, he knows very well that if the death of the envoy is a bargaining chip in Luo Sheng's plan to force Ye Mu to help him, then the target person to be killed may have a lot to do with it.

He did not hesitate to go around in such a big circle and sacrifice the life of an envoy to put pressure on Ye Mu and South Korea... Even if this person is just a small official, an envoy is an envoy after all. To the Qin State, his own envoy died in It would be embarrassing for others if they didn’t pursue the matter.

He felt that the problem behind it might not be simple.

But for a while, he couldn't think of anything wrong.

It's just killing someone, how big of a deal can it be?
  Even if the target of the net is important ministers, nobles, or even members of the royal family of other countries, Ji Wuye is not too afraid of getting into trouble.
