Chapter 222: Swinging the Sword at Lü Buwei; Bai Bingtai "Ke"
Chapter 222: Swinging the Sword at Lü Buwei; Bai Bingtai "Ke"
At this time, there were only five people in the tent: Zi'an, Mu Xuanzi, Lu Buwei, Doctor Que and Li Xin who was pretending to be Jin Chan.
Moreover, the thick leather curtain had already covered the area, making it impossible for people outside to see what was happening inside.
After Zi'an and Mu Xuanzi looked at each other, they quietly pulled out the long swords at their waists a few inches.
If Lu Buwei really wanted to cut open Li Xin's abdomen with a knife, then the two of them would definitely chop off the head of the Prime Minister of Qin without hesitation.
"Damn it, assassinating the Prime Minister of Great Qin really brought honor to my family. Damn it, the worst that can happen is death. I will just help the king clear the obstacles."
"I don't know if there will be any place for me to stay in Yuetan Mountain after this sword strikes. Forget it. At worst, I can take Brother Zi'an with me and escape using the escape technique. From now on, I will travel the world with my sword. I just hope that Master Qin will not forget what I asked for in Yuetan Mountain because of this sword strike."
Zi'an and Mu Xuanzi, one prepared to die, the other prepared to wander the world, and they prepared to take action at the same time.
"You two, it's not worth it to risk your future and your life!"
Sudden.
Lu Buwei spoke without any warning, without even turning his head to look back.
Exposed?
The two men instantly broke out in cold sweats, not daring to even blink, and looked at Lu Buwei who was a few steps away.
How could a civil official have such a keen sense of smell when he is not like a military general who fights on the battlefield?
Perhaps guessing Zi'an and Mu Xuanzi's doubts, Lu Buwei grinned and said, "I have been doing business with my father since I was a child. I have not only traveled to the Seven Kingdoms, but also to the Western Regions, the Southern Wilderness, and the Northern Di. A caravan hundreds of meters long is a piece of coveted mutton in those places. If we don't have some vigilance and means, how dare we swagger around between countries?"
Lu Buwei's light words not only showed that he knew Zi'an and Mu Xuanzi behind him had murderous intentions, but also that he had means to guard against them.
"What do you care about?"
Zi'an roared.
Now that the sword has been unsheathed, there is no turning back. The only option now is to kill Lu Buwei first.
Even if he was on guard, so what? Could a middle-aged prime minister be a match for a military general like himself?
At the moment when Zi'an and Mu Xuanzi drew out their swords at the same time, suddenly, a chill came from the back of their heads, making them feel like thorns on their backs. The temperature seemed to have suddenly returned to the twelfth lunar month.
"I've already told you my true identity. How dare I show up here without any vigilance or skills?"
"Let me introduce you. This is my retainer, the commander of Baibingtai under the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ke!"
After Lu Buwei said this with a smile, he motioned for the two to turn their heads and look back.
Behind Zi'an and Mu Xuanzi, there was a man about seven feet tall, wearing white clothes, a bamboo hat, and a white cloth covering his face, leaving only his brown eyes exposed.
The man's eyes were as cold as frost, without a trace of warmth, and in each hand he held a short sword shining with silver light, and the tip of the sword was less than an inch away from the back of Zi'an and Mu Xuanzi's heads.
"Bai Bingtai? Prime Minister, you are raising assassins. Are you planning a rebellion?"
Even though the sword was pointing at him, Zi'an remained unceremonious.
Everyone in the court of the Great Qin Dynasty knew that the Black Ice Platform was founded by King Zhao and was a group of death squads that only obeyed the royal family.
Gathering the morale of 30,000 soldiers is the foundation, and the country's destiny is contained in each person's weapon.
Not only are all the people in Heibingtai highly skilled in martial arts, but they are also quick-witted, making them the equivalent of the Qin royal guards.
A group of people from the An Ziying led by Su Qiji joined them, but they are still in the stage of secret training.
However, due to Ying Lou's powerlessness in his early years, most of the Black Ice Terrace had been controlled by the Ying clan. It was not until after the incident of the ancestral temple that Ying Lou gradually regained control of the Black Ice Terrace.
And at this time, Lu Buwei actually called this person Bai Bingtai. Isn't this clearly an attempt to exceed the royal authority?
"Haha, General Zi'an, please don't say that. The king asked me to come here this time to replace General Jinchan as the commander of Hangu Pass. 'Ke' is the left wing general who will be appointed under my command. How can you say he is raising me?"
Lu Buwei shrugged, put the peeling knife on the table, turned around and said with a smile.
Although the knife was not swung down, looking at the reactions of the two men, it seemed that it was not so important whether it was swung down or not.
"Bullshit, after General Bai died, Boss Jin defeated the generals of Chu, Tang, and Qi alone, and then rescued General Bai's body from Lian Po. Why should such an achievement be exchanged for a civilian like you?"
Zi'an had always been at odds with Lu Buwei, and when he heard that Jin Chan was going to be removed from his position as commander-in-chief, he became furious and started cursing.
He even drew the long sword from his waist and pretended to fight with "Ke".
"This is the king's summons. General Zi'an, do you want to rebel?" Lu Buwei calmly took out a piece of black silk cloth with the Qin king's seal from his arms, and then waved his hand to signal "Ke" not to take action.
"This, this is impossible!"
After seeing the black silk cloth with Wang Yin, Zi'an and Li Xin, who was unable to move on the bed, were stunned for a moment.
Everyone knows that Jin Chan is Ying Lou's confidant. How could they possibly replace Jin Chan's position as the main general with Lu Buwei when the momentum is good?
However, the King of Qin's convoy was on its way to Hangu Pass, and Lu Buwei could not have the courage to forge the information.
"Meeting Wang Zhao is like meeting the king. General Zi'an, are you two not going to kneel down and kowtow?"
Lu Buwei lowered his eyes and looked at the two people not far away with contempt.
"Your Highness, I am Zi'an. I am Mu Xuanzi of Yuetan Mountain. I respectfully welcome the king's summons!"
Zi'an was seen kneeling on one knee, Mu Xuanzi bowed and saluted, while lowering his head and speaking.
"Haha, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I would like to trouble you two to call over the six generals, Bai Ma Cuo, Ying Dang, Ying Ji, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and Li Xin. I have something to discuss with you."
Lu Buwei glanced at "Golden Cicada" lying on the bed, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gave the order.
"General Li Xin has been ordered to leave the country and will not be back for a while."
Zi'an sighed and made up a reason that he thought was reasonable.
"Leaving the retreat? The Central Plains Xuanmen made trouble a few days ago. What's the meaning of leaving the retreat now? Moreover, the three kingdoms of Chu, Tang, and Qi are camped at the entrance of the valley. How did General Li Xin get out?"
This series of questions made Zi'an, who was already confused, even more unable to answer.
Helplessly, he could only glance at the "Golden Cicada" lying on the bed, and then said: "This is what General Jin meant. I don't know, go ask him!"
Li Xin, whose tongue was numb on the bed, really wanted to go over and slap Zi'an on the head when he heard this.
"no need!"
suddenly.
The door curtain of the tent was lifted, and Jin Chan and Tang Qianyan walked in with swagger.
"Oh, who dares to pretend to be a general of the Great Qin under my nose? Ke, arrest this man for me."
Lu Buwei coiled up the pair of jade walnuts again.
"As ordered!"
"Ke" just lowered his head in response, then brandished his two swords and attacked Jin Chan.
However, the angle of the sword was only aimed at the wrist and limbs, and did not stab at the fatal part.
It looked like Lu Buwei just wanted to test Jin Chan.
"Humph, you are just a dead warrior, are you worthy enough to fight with me?"
Jin Chan didn't even pull out the fish belly, but just stretched out his palm, and saw five white lightnings emerge from the tips of his five fingers, instantly wrapping around "Ke's" limbs and neck.
Zira, Zira.
Sparks flew everywhere, and Ke was seen suspended in the air by five white lightnings. His limbs and neck were charred black, and his whole body was twitching and unable to move.
The Ten Thunders are the Righteous Law, and the Five Thunders are the North Pole.
Ever since Qingtan returned to its original size of an incense burner, it could no longer extend its tentacles, but day and night it continuously fed back the pure energy of Wuzhuolei after he became an immortal, which allowed Jinchan to make a lot of progress in his proficiency in the application of Taoist magic.
Although Tang Qianyan said that Qingtan's gratitude would allow Jin Chan to one day achieve the Five Qis Returning to Origin, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, and the elimination of the Three Corpses, one must not be greedy.
If one achieves perfection in the three realms and reaches the state of emptiness and spirituality, he will be led to the Heavenly Palace in advance, and then the Jiufang Heavenly Palace will descend upon the Central Plains in an instant.
Let me clarify that Tang Qianyan’s name when he was the emperor was Lin Yao (yao), not Lin Tian (tian). I saw that some readers corrected the mistake, so I would like to explain it here.
