The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

According to Zi Nu, there is a secret passage in this stronghold that leads directly to the outside of the city.

However, the prerequisite is that you have to reach that base first.

The stronghold was located in the outer area of ​​Xinzheng City. Only in this way could a secret passage be dug to lead directly outside the city.

Although I am not very familiar with Xinzheng City.

But at this moment, Ying Zheng could only try his best to move in that direction, only in this way could he buy himself a chance to survive.

At that moment, Ying Zheng suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

He suddenly tightened his grip on the reins.

As the reins were tightened, the horse neighed, and the carriage came to an immediate stop...

A chilling cold enveloped Ying Zheng's body.

In the thin mist, an ancient longsword suddenly emerged, attacking Ying Zheng.

The sword's speed wasn't fast, but in Ying Zheng's eyes, it was the distance between life and death.

As the sword drew closer, he drew ever closer to death.

More importantly, the chill enveloped his entire body, making it impossible for him to move or evade it, even if he wanted to.

Without a doubt, those capable of such a feat are the top-tier members of the Luo Wang organization.

Besides Xuan Jian, are there other Heavenly-level Nets of the same rank?

Ying Zheng was very clever and immediately figured out the reason. Unfortunately, at this moment, even if he figured it out, it would be of no use. He was about to die.

Coming to Xinzheng on his own was indeed the worst decision he ever made.

Just as this ancient longsword was about to pierce Ying Zheng's throat.

Suddenly, another sword came flying from the side.

Unlike the ancient and seemingly old longsword, the other sword was extremely ornate. When she thrust it out, pink petals fluttered around her—that was sword energy.

Ding!

The original, ancient longsword was swept aside by the swords that appeared later.

At the same time, the chill that had enveloped Ying Zheng's body also dissipated.

Ying Zheng even felt a warmth.

At first, Ying Zheng was confused, but then he realized that a figure had appeared beside him at some point, and the other person was holding a flame in their hand.

The flames released light and heat, dispelling the chill from his body.

"Are you OK."

The other person's tone was gentle. Ying Zheng came back to his senses and gently shook his head.

Thinking back on what had happened, he felt fortunate and grateful to the person beside him and the woman fighting against the top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization.

"Thank you for saving me."

Jiang Chuan laughed and said, "It was just a coincidence."

Immediately, his smile vanished, and he feigned curiosity as he asked Ying Zheng, "First it was Xuan Jian, a first-class Heavenly Rank member of the Luo Wang, and then Duan Shui, another first-class Heavenly Rank member of the Luo Wang. I'm very curious, who exactly are you that you deserve so many first-class Heavenly Rank members of the Luo Wang to attack you?"

Chapter 110 You Are a Rare Commodity

Even Jiang Chuan was quite surprised.

The assassination attempt on Ying Zheng by Xuan Jian was something that had already occurred in the original work, so it was not surprising. What truly surprised him was that, in addition to Xuan Jian, another top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization had appeared.

If it weren't for the fact that I was cautious from the beginning and didn't immediately get involved in the Zilan Pavilion affair to deal with Xuan Jian.

Instead, he kept his eyes on Ying Zheng, and almost let another top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization succeed in capturing him.

According to Ru Shuang, the sword used by this top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization is called Duan Shui (Severing Water).

It was another of the Eight Swords of Yue, and according to the order in which they were forged, the Sword of Broken Water ranked above Xuan Jian and Jing Ni, making it the second of the Eight Swords of Yue to be forged.

As for who is number one?

Naturally, it obscures the sun.

At this time, the Sword Slave of Broken Water was not the blind old man from the original story, but a one-armed man with a hideous scar on his cheek, and a fierce aura emanated from him.

He wielded the Broken Water Sword. Although the sword was old and simple, and the blade looked blunt, each of the Eight Swords of Yue King had its own special features. For example, the Sun-Covering Sword could conceal the sun and confuse people's vision.

The Sword of Broken Water has no sharp edge, but it can release extremely sharp sword energy.

As the saying goes, "to cut water with a knife."

Once injured by this sword, the sword energy will linger at the wound, preventing it from healing. In fact, the sword energy will continue to extend into the body through the wound, taking the person's life.

It can be said that the Water-Severing Sword is a sword that can kill with a single blow.

The Black and White Xuanjian are a pair of swords related to the soul, capable of taking lives and suppressing spirits.

As for the Jingni Sword, its characteristics are lightness and agility, and exceptional sharpness, making it the sharpest of the eight swords of the King of Yue.

Ying Zheng was unaware of Jiang Chuan's surprise. After hearing Jiang Chuan's words, his eyes flickered, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "You may call me Young Master Shang."

This was Xinzheng, not Xianyang. Even though Jiang Chuan had saved him, he didn't reveal his true identity directly, as he didn't know whether Jiang Chuan was friend or foe, or Jiang Chuan's true identity. Instead, he responded to Jiang Chuan with his initial alias.

Hearing the title "Young Master Shang," Jiang Chuan was still somewhat disappointed. He had thought he would hear me say things like "I am Qin Shi Huang" and "Send me money." Even though Ying Zheng had not yet unified the world and was not yet called Qin Shi Huang, it was still the same person.

With a thought flashing through his mind, Jiang Chuan responded to Ying Zheng, "Young Master Shang? The title of 'Young Master' is not something that just anyone can use. It seems that your status is indeed extraordinary."

"No wonder the Luo Wang organization is targeting you so much."

"But it doesn't matter. As long as Luo Wang targets you and wants to kill you, we'll be good friends."

"I'm committed to protecting you."

This was the first time Ying Zheng had heard such strange words. Even though he had just escaped a life-or-death crisis, he was a king whose mind was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

"Why did you say this, sir?"

Since I don't know how to address Jiang Chuan, calling him "Mr." is always the right thing to do.

"Because we are also being hunted down by the Net!"

Jiang Chuan gave Ying Zheng an answer that surprised him.

"My wife was once a top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization. Because she loved me, she decided to leave the Luo Wang organization. However, she did not expect that she would be hunted down by the Luo Wang organization. My wife and I spent a lot of effort to escape the Luo Wang organization's pursuit and then came to this place, Xinzheng."

"Driven by the need to make a living, I became an apprentice of Fei Cuihu, a wealthy merchant in Xinzheng. I was highly regarded by Fei Cuihu, but I never expected that at this time, Fei Cuihu would be killed by his rival."

"It was only at this time that I learned that Emerald Tiger was actually a member of Nightfall. By then, it was impossible for me to extricate myself. Because of Emerald Tiger's high regard for me, after his death, I was directly entrusted with an important task by the person behind Emerald Tiger. After that, I inexplicably became one of Nightfall's most ruthless generals..."

"I thought this kind of life would continue indefinitely."

"Until today I learned that Nightfall and Luo Wang actually have a cooperative relationship, and Nightfall is preparing to help Luo Wang carry out an assassination."

"So, I'm very curious about who the target of the Luo Wang assassination was."

"It wasn't until the two top-ranking members of the Luo Wang organization showed up that I became increasingly curious about their identities. At the same time, I made a decision to stop the Luo Wang organization's operation."

After listening to Jiang Chuan's account, Ying Zheng finally understood the identity of the person beside him.

This caused his expression to change slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He truly hadn't expected that the person who came to his aid would be one of the Four Fiends of the Night.

He hadn't been in Xinzheng for very long, but he had a good understanding of the situation there.

General Ji Wuye wielded immense power in the court.

The Nightfall organization shrouds the entire South Korea, and Han Fei founded Quicksand specifically to counter Nightfall.

Also in order to fight against the darkness and change the state of Han, Han Fei refused his invitation, which once disappointed Ying Zheng.

Under Ji Wuye, the Lord of Night, the most powerful forces are the Four Fierce Generals, who influence the state of Korea in all aspects, including military, political, financial, and espionage.

Based on the information he already possessed, Ying Zheng immediately recognized the identity of the person before him.

The fourth most ruthless general of the night, the one in charge of managing the 280's finances.

I never expected that the other party would be someone being hunted down by the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

"Sir's past is truly surprising, but I still don't understand why you would risk exposing your identity to help me?" Ying Zheng's tone was somewhat playful.

"Of course it's because you deserve help!"

Jiang Chuan responded to Ying Zheng's words.

“I once served as a retainer of Lord Xinling, and my wife was once a first-class member of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) and followed Lord Xinling. I learned a lot from her. As for my wife, as a former first-class member of the Luo Wang, even though she has now turned her back on the Luo Wang, she still knows a lot.”

"For example, your real identity!"

Jiang Chuan's gaze fell on Ying Zheng's face, and Ying Zheng immediately felt as if he had been seen through.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

But he also learned that Jiang Chuan had another identity: he had once served by Lord Xinling's side.

"Is this the real reason?" Ying Zheng asked softly.

Jiang Chuan nodded, then uttered a name that Ying Zheng disliked somewhat, "In the past, Lü Buwei invested in your father, and from a merchant, he rose to become the current Prime Minister of Qin. This gave rise to a story called 'a rare commodity worth hoarding'."
