This situation seems somewhat familiar.
Wuming, standing to the side, also frowned: "It seems to be the work of Luo Wang again!"
Without a doubt, at this stage, the only ones who would be so brazen as to assassinate Wei ministers are the assassins from the Luo Wang organization.
Moreover, judging from the situation, the one who made the move was very likely a top-tier assassin.
Otherwise, given the strength of the Wei Kingdom, they wouldn't have been able to impose martial law to this extent and still not be able to catch anyone.
"Qin is trying to create chaos in the Wei court by assassinating these ministers, thereby helping Qin gain an opportunity on the front lines! Qin is really confident in this move!"
Wuming couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for the State of Wei.
If Wei cannot eliminate these assassins from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) assassination plot, the many ministers, living in constant fear under the shadow of death, will inevitably make mistakes. In this situation, the morale of the soldiers fighting on the front lines will also be affected. If morale weakens, it will be difficult to say whether they can withstand the Qin army's advance.
Conversely, if they can successfully defeat the assassins of the Luo Wang and thwart the Qin state's conspiracy, it will boost morale and it is not impossible for them to inflict another heavy blow on the Qin state.

Chapter 23 I believe he won't mind.
Unlike Wuming's speculation, Bai Yuan had a different idea.
He vaguely remembered that Luo Wang did indeed have a top-tier assassin who killed many Wei ministers in Daliang, but the mastermind behind it was not Qin.
So Bai Yuan asked Manager Lin, "Since Wei is currently hunting down that assassin, do you know his name?"
"Let me think about it." Manager Lin rubbed his forehead and recalled, "It seems to be called something like Black and White Mystic."
"Black and White Mystic Cutter!"
Bai Yuan added.
"Yes! It's Hei Bai Xuan Jian!"
Reminded by this, Manager Lin finally remembered that the assassin who killed so many Wei ministers was named Hei Bai Xuan Jian.
"That would be interesting!"
Bai Yuan smiled knowingly when he heard that the assassin was indeed him.
Wuming and the others were puzzled.
"Why do you say that? Is there something special about this Black and White Xuanjian?"
Bai Yuan smiled mysteriously: "Indeed, he is quite special. He has two swords, one black and one white, which are called Xuan Jian. The black sword is used for killing when facing outwards, while the white sword is used for protection when facing inwards."
"Have heard a little bit."
Wuming nodded, clearly having some understanding of Hei Bai Xuan Jian.
"So do you think Xuan Jian's actions this time were for killing, or for protecting?"
Bai Yuan posed a somewhat strange question to them.
"Naturally, it's for killing. Could it be that Hei Bai Xuan Jian kills people for the sake of protection?"
Manager Lin smiled and agreed. He knew that the war between Qin and Wei was at a stalemate, so he firmly believed that Xuan Jian's assassination of many Wei ministers was an order from Qin.
But after he finished speaking, he noticed that Bai Yuan was smiling silently to the side.
Wuming also fell silent, knowing that Bai Yuan would not ask such a question without a reason.
The more obvious the answer, the more likely it is to be wrong.
Now everyone believes that Xuan Jian is carrying out the orders of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) to assassinate the key civil and military officials of Wei, thus opening up the battle for Qin on the front lines.
But actually?
They don't know the real situation; it's all just their speculation. Maybe this is the truth, or maybe someone wants you to believe it is.
Manager Lin realized that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, and since his words had not been answered, he also fell silent.
"Although I don't know why you think that way, I can't deny that Xuan Jian might have drawn the sword to protect it."
After a long silence, Wuming finally spoke, his eyes filled with solemnity.
The reason is simple: if Xuan Jian drew his sword because he was carrying out orders from the Luo Wang organization, that is, for the purpose of killing, then Wei still has a glimmer of hope, and there is still a chance to win this war.
If he drew his sword to protect others, then it means that Xuan Jian was not carrying out the orders of the Luo Wang, which raises many questions.
If it wasn't an order from Luo Wang, then who was behind Xuan Jian's actions?
The more Wuming thought about it, the more worried he became about the State of Wei.
He considered a possibility: the person who ordered Xuan Jian to kill might be someone from the Wei court.
In other words, the people of Wei were no longer of one mind.
Under these circumstances, the idea of defeating the Qin state was nothing short of a pipe dream.
However, this speculation is too far-fetched.
That's ridiculous! Why should a mere assassin from the Luo Wang organization listen to the words of a minister from Wei?
Although Wuming didn't quite believe it, who could say for sure what the truth was?
"Forget about all that. We're only staying in Daliang for a while, and we'll be leaving in a few days. Whatever the truth is, it has nothing to do with us."
Bai Yuan waved his hand, quickly changing the subject.
It's best to avoid discussing topics involving the imperial court and state affairs, as it could cause a lot of trouble if it were to get out accidentally.
Even though Bai Yuan knew the truth and the fate that Xuan Jian and his wife were about to face, he had no intention of changing it.
When you're out and about, it's best to mind your own business.
Just then, the food was served one after another, and Bai Yuan and the others tacitly forgot about the previous topic and focused on enjoying their lunch.
It must be said that the dishes in this restaurant look quite exquisite, but the taste is still inferior to those made by Bai Yuan. They are not particularly delicious and are only good for filling one's stomach.
After the meal, Manager Lin suggested taking them around the city to see if there was anything they wanted to buy.
Considering that the Great Liang was not very peaceful at the moment, Bai Yuan and the others refused.
Back at Xuanxin Pavilion, Manager Lin was still serving them, which annoyed Bai Yuan.
"You don't need to keep running around for us. Just prepare what we need as soon as possible. Oh, and by the way, also prepare some full-aged ginseng or other medicinal herbs for me. I need them."
"Okay! I'll go get it right away!"
After hearing Bai Yuan's instructions, Manager Lin's face lit up with a bright smile.
The fact that the master is willing to give me this task means that he values me!
Watching Manager Lin leave, Bai Yuan smiled and shook his head.
Why did you suddenly tell him you needed medicine? That you weren't feeling well?
Wuming asked with some curiosity.
"No, it's not that. Since they did things for us, I couldn't just leave without showing my appreciation. So I thought I'd refine a batch of pills. On one hand, we can carry them with us in case of emergency, and on the other hand, it's a way of repaying them."
Bai Yuan shook his head slightly.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to know so much."
"so far so good."
Bai Yuan waved his hand modestly.
As for the actual situation, only he knows.
The art of alchemy was originally a unique skill developed by Taoism. However, most people consider elixirs to be external objects, so they do not spend much time on alchemy, and very few people are proficient in it.
Bai Yuan learned all the skills of the Heavenly Sect, including alchemy, but he only knew the theory and had never practiced it.
Now that the system has opened up life skills, he had already discovered that alchemy was among them.
Having gained experience from activating skills like hunting, he guessed that as long as he refined a batch of pills, he should be able to activate the alchemy skill. That's why he asked Manager Lin for some medicinal herbs.
He remains confident about the outcome.
At worst, it'll just waste some medicinal herbs; I'm sure Manager Lin won't mind.
Bai Yuan sat in the room for a while, and Wuming and Lu had already gone back to rest. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
"Master Baiyuan, I have brought the medicinal herbs and scrolls you requested."
Manager Lin held a tray with some medicinal herbs on it. He placed the tray on the table and then took out a blank scroll from his pocket.
Bai Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, Manager Lin is quite efficient.
There were ready-made brushes and inkstones in the room. Bai Yuan took the scroll, spread it on the table, picked up the brush, dipped it in the ink, and prepared to write.
Manager Lin, being very perceptive, said, "Master Baiyuan, I'll go take care of my business now. If anything comes up, just let the maid at the door know, and I'll be right back!"
"go Go!"
Bai Yuan waved his hand and then began to write his complaint.

Chapter 24 Alchemy is an art, and art is...
In this letter of complaint, Bai Yuan embellished his experiences over the past month.
For example, Bai Yuan exaggerated the hardships he endured, such as poor food and lodging, the countless difficulties and dangers he faced on his way to reach Daliang, the capital of Wei, the inexplicable assassination attempt by the Luo Wang assassins, the serious injuries sustained by the nameless man, and the fact that he would have died if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet a descendant of a medical family.
After checking it twice, Bai Yuan was convinced that Chi Songzi would be furious upon seeing the letter and would seek revenge. Satisfied, he rolled it up and sealed it away.
After doing all this, he began to examine the medicinal herbs that Manager Lin had brought.
Although he only asked Manager Lin to bring some old medicinal herbs, he discovered that Manager Lin brought some rather precious herbs, including a thousand-year-old ginseng.
Manager Lin really knows how to get things done!
Bai Yuan put down the medicinal herbs and walked to the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a beautiful maid waiting there, ready to give him instructions.
