The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 592 Exposed
Li Yuan had many followers, and even if he relied on his confidants, he did not have enough energy to investigate carefully. With Fu Chu's elaborate disguise of nine true and one false, Li Yuan could hardly detect it.

Four years had passed, enough to gain Li Yuan's trust. In order to gain Li Yuan's trust, Fu Chu spent money to send several waves of assassins to assassinate Li Yuan.

Moreover, Fu Chu never asked Yabai to do anything. He only asked Yabai to do what a guest of Li Garden should do, and he didn't ask for anything else.

All this is for an opportunity that is both possible and perhaps never possible.

Now, the opportunity has come.

With Li Yuan's trust, Yabai successfully followed many royal masters into the palace and met King Chu You without any restrictions.

Successful and trusted by King You of Chu.

King You of Chu was shocked after reading Li Yuan's letter, but he naturally had no objection to Li Yuan's arrangement. They were just some experts, not very useful in the army, but very useful in key guards.

King You of Chu strengthened his already strong guard force and allowed those who had returned to rest for two days to relieve their fatigue before being incorporated into the guard.

This instinctive act of doing good to win people's hearts saved his life.

If Yabai were allowed to get close to him and become his bodyguard, then Yabai's stunning sword strike would surely take his life.

But how could Ying Zheng watch King You of Chu being killed?

And he was killed so easily?

It is not in the interests of Qin for Fu Chu to win easily.

The best situation for Qin at the moment is to let King You of Chu win!

Although King You of Chu has a great chance of winning, it is not so easy for him to win. Fu Chu will not admit defeat easily and will fight to the end. Even if King You of Chu wins, he will be seriously injured.

Moreover, even if King You of Chu won, he would certainly launch a large-scale purge, which would make the already bleak Chu State even worse.

After this civil strife ended, the Chu State, which was already in decline, was finally completely defeated.

It has to be said that Fu Chu is a ruthless character. Once he finds a talent, he will grab it and have enough patience and generosity to win people's hearts and wait for the other party to be willing to work for him.

After more than ten years of painstaking efforts, and finding such a peerless master, using him as a one-time suicide squad, it is natural that it will be earth-shattering!
It’s a pity that he didn’t have the chance to make a move.

It was normal for Li Yuan to be assassinated, and it was a common occurrence. Moreover, as long as Yabai was present, all assassins would be killed with one strike, and Li Yuan would not be able to investigate.

There was no way, the cliff cypress was a knife that killed people. He only knew how to use this knife, and with this knife, his prey would definitely die. He didn't know how to leave them alive.

Even if Ying Zheng had not paid special attention to this kind of secret and sent people to investigate it carefully, he would never have known about it. However, there is no coincidence in the world.

There are people from the Qin Dynasty around Fu Chu.

The person that Fu Chu sent to hire an assassin happened to be from Xuanyuwei.

It is normal for Fu Chu to want to assassinate Li Yuan.

But since they were going to take action, they obviously didn't do it with the attitude of success, and they hired several waves of assassins to assassinate, but they were all doomed to fail. This is very strange.

Fu Chu was a person whom Ying Zheng paid special attention to. The secret guards did not dare to take this unusual behavior lightly. The news was passed to Ying Zheng Long'an, who ordered a secret and strict investigation to get to the bottom of the abnormality.

All the failures of the waves of assassins bought by Fu Chu had one thing in common, that is, there was Yabai present.

How could such a peerless master suddenly become Li Yuan's retainer?

Because of Li Yuan’s personal charm?
Nonsense, who would believe this?
A bystander sees more clearly, and the doubt lies with the cliff cypress.

When you investigate with suspicion and doubt, you will definitely find the problem.

Li Yuan could not investigate so deeply and in detail the incident which happened more than ten years ago, but under Ying Zheng's order, the secret guards could.

Although Fu Chu did it cleanly, there were still traces left.

Moreover, Ying Zheng did not need evidence, nor did he need to be very clear about everything. It was not like he needed evidence to judge a case. It was enough to confirm that there was a relationship between Cliff Cypress and Fu Chu.

Then it can be confirmed that Thuja sutchuenensis is the one who carries the straw.

Fu Chu must be planning something big by placing such a master beside Li Yuan.

Such a master is hard to come by, and it is even rarer to find a loyal one.

Using such a master to do the work of a assassin would be a waste just to kill Li Yuan.

As the prime minister of the State of Chu, Li Yuan naturally had people from the Xuanyu Guard around him, and there was also one more person who specifically kept an eye on Yabai.

Such a master cannot be stared at, but it is very simple, just stare at what Li Yuan orders Yabai to do, that is enough.

Especially when getting close to King You of Chu.

At this critical moment, on the night when King You of Chu met Yabai, King You of Chu's shadow guard received a frightening piece of news.

The expert sent by Ling Yin Li Yuan was the person planted by Fu Chu beside him!
He is the peerless master who is rumored to want to assassinate the king!

The shadow guard was so frightened that he reported it to King Chu You immediately, who immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

I was very grateful that I was able to let him rest for a few days. If I had been replaced immediately, I'm afraid he would have passed away now.

He did not doubt that it was someone sent by Li Yuan. Li Yuan and he would prosper and suffer together. It was impossible for him to do such a stupid thing. Li Yuan had no way out.

After the shock, he was furious. The anger of surviving a disaster made King You of Chu furious. He immediately summoned heavy troops and royal guards to capture Yabai. He was persuaded by his personal eunuch.

The eunuch advised King You of Chu that since this villain was entrusted with such an important task, he must be a top-notch expert. Moreover, the prime minister also recognized that he was a top-notch expert. If he used force, it would inevitably cause more damage. In this situation, every bit of damage reduced is a bit of strength added.

Now this villain must not know that he has been exposed, and he can be easily captured by poisoning.

King Chu You nodded in agreement. Under the current circumstances, it would be best to reduce the losses.

King You of Chu immediately ordered people to add a colorless and tasteless poison to today's food, and Yabai ate it without noticing.

Although his swordsmanship had reached the highest level of following the laws of nature and leaving no trace, he was still a man of expertise after all. Unsurprisingly, he fell victim to the strange poison of the Chu royal family.

The Chu State was a vast country with abundant resources. Over the past 800 years, it annexed countless small countries and became the hegemon of the world. Its treasure house had everything, and the Chu State's voodoo was unique in the world.

There are too many colorless and odorless exotic poisons. Not to mention a swordsman like Yabai who is seriously unspecialized, even a genius doctor who is proficient in medicine will still be attacked if he is caught off guard without some rare treasures. Even if he is prepared, it is hard to say whether he can defend himself.

And for the sake of safety, King Chu You did not use poisons that would kill people immediately, but poisons that suppressed people's internal strength. This poison was absolutely guaranteed to be colorless and odorless, without any abnormalities, even before the person started to practice internal energy.

But Thuja was still the first to discover that he had been poisoned.

He is a genius, self-taught, and he entered the Tao through swinging his sword tens of millions of times. It was a natural thing for him, and it is in line with the principle that man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

It is an extremely high level of cultivation that is cultivated from the outside in.

The knife is swung down and then cut.

His aura was flawless, and he had already noticed it the moment he was poisoned and his internal energy was suppressed.

Then he knew he was exposed.

It doesn't matter how it was exposed, it's already happened.

The only thing to do is to swing the knife.

Yabai walked out of the room calmly, and sure enough, there were already a large number of palace guards and royal masters fully armed surrounding the door.

Behind the many masters is the cold-faced King Chu You. He wants to capture the traitor alive, then send him to the front of the battle and let Li Yuan behead him in front of the battle, so as to undermine the morale of Fu Chu's army.

Dozens of first-rate masters stared at the traitor in front of them. Even though they knew that this man had been poisoned and could no longer use his internal strength, no one dared to be careless.

Even though the swordsman in front of him did not have any murderous aura, his terrifying sharpness made it almost impossible to breathe, as if every wisp of air was filled with sharp aura.

Their intuition told them that the person in front of them was still an extremely dangerous enemy.

No warrior dares to ignore his own intuition.

Moreover, Yabai has been with Li Yuan for several years, and some people have seen Yabai use his sword.

That was truly a terrifying sword technique.

Yabai saw King You of Chu at a glance. That was his target.

There are more than thirty masters in front of us, and the target is still nearly thirty feet away.

So he swung the knife.

The first person who stood in front of him, if placed in the martial arts world, would be a core master of any of the hundreds of schools of thought, and an elder-level master in Taoism and Yin-Yang School. He was a centurion among the personal guards of King Chu You.

Looking at the cliff cypress getting closer and closer, the battle-hardened Bai Chang drew his sword without hesitation.

His body was as fast as lightning and as swift as a meteor. His sword energy was overwhelming and substantial. Wherever it went, grass and trees were broken and deep cracks were left on the bluestone ground.

This sword was so stunning that everyone watching the fight secretly praised it.

But with one cut from Yabai, both the man and the sword were scattered on the ground like dead leaves cut by a sharp blade.

There was silence for a moment.

Everyone was shocked.

Hasn't this person been poisoned and can no longer use his internal energy?

how come? ? ?
how come? !

How could they know that cliff cypress is cultivated from the outside to the inside. Even if the internal force cannot be used, it does not mean that there is no power to fight back.

It's still swinging the sword, it's just that the force is a little less, just like when he was a teenager.

Thuja continues to move towards its goal.

It was not until the eunuch beside King You of Chu shouted "Protect the king" that everyone came back to their senses.

At one time, dozens of masters shouted and killed, and rushed towards Yabai. As the top masters of the time, they were full of ferocity and murderous aura.

No matter who he is, he is now just a half-disabled person who cannot use his internal energy. He can never withstand the siege of so many people!
Yabai didn't care about these things, but just moved forward towards his goal firmly, swinging his sword firmly to cut through the obstacles in front of him.

One after another, people fell to the ground, but cliff cypress also had more and more wounds on its body.

Relying only on his mortal body, with his qi and blood blocked by the poison, facing so many masters, the outcome was inevitable.
