Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

As long as the people there have contact with the outside world, he can blend in.

Most importantly, the person he disguises is so convincing that even the person in question would find it difficult to detect anything amiss, as if looking in a mirror. They are identical without the slightest flaw.

Xu Qing naturally didn't have such powerful disguise skills. To this day, he still doesn't know how Wei Zhuang found the Black Jade Qilin in the original story. Now that the State of Han has been destroyed, there is still no trace of the Black Jade Qilin.

If it had ever appeared in South Korea, it would definitely have been discovered with the help of Lady Myungju and the power of the Nightfall.

"Foreign languages—no, I should say, the art of disguise—must be learned!"

Under Jingni's watchful gaze, Xu Qing, with her help, easily kidnapped two people who were heading towards Guo Kai's manor.

Xu Qing then used special methods to read the memories of the two people, and figured out their identities and the situation inside Guo Kai Manor.

Jing Ni thought that was about it.

Xu Qing attacked the two men simply to find out the truth about Guo Kai's situation.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Qing said something else.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Xu Qing take out some bottles and jars.

Then, in front of her, he began to disguise himself.

Xu Qing's disguise technique originated from those who received his sword. It is the most common disguise technique, unlike the bizarre disguise techniques of Mo Yu Qilin in the original work, where one's appearance and posture can change with a thought.

However, even the most basic disguise technique, when accumulated with the right numbers, can reach its pinnacle.

In a short time, under Jingni's watchful gaze, Xu Qing had completely transformed into a different person.

"!!!"

Jingni's eyes flashed with surprise, indicating she was quite astonished.

"You want to infiltrate Guo Kai's residence like this?"

She finally understood Xu Qing's thoughts.

They had no intention of sneaking in; instead, they would disguise themselves and enter openly.

"This is the safest approach!"

Xu Qing, wearing someone else's face, spoke to Jing Ni in his own voice: "Guo Kai's residence seems heavily guarded, but he can't possibly check everyone."

"For me, the most important thing is to infiltrate his household. Once I get in, there will be a lot of room to maneuver in the future."

"By the way, are you coming in with me?"

Xu Qing then looked at Jing Ni and asked her a question.

If Jingni doesn't plan to come along, that's also simple.

He had captured two people; he only needed to eliminate one of them and then manipulate the other as a puppet.

“I came here with you, so of course I’ll stay with you,” Jingni replied.

"Then I'll help you disguise yourself."

After Xu Qing finished disguising himself, he began to help Jing Ni disguise herself.

Although it seemed like an ordinary disguise technique, Jingni only realized its extraordinary nature after Xu Qing actually used it.

Xu Qing has clearly kidnapped two men this time.

She was a woman, but thanks to Xu Qing's disguise technique, she was made to look exactly like a man.

Of course, because it was the most traditional disguise technique, Xu Qing inevitably made some unwanted advances towards her during the process.

At first, Jingni felt a little uncomfortable or awkward.

But after constantly reassuring herself that this was a disguise, Jingni finally managed to restrain herself.

Soon.

Xu Qing and Jing Ni changed their appearances and successfully entered Guo Kai's manor.

Because he had read the memories of the two people beforehand, Xu Qing wasn't completely clueless when he entered.

Of course, Jingni rarely spoke during this time. After all, Xu Qing only changed her appearance and voice, and it was difficult to imitate her perfectly without mastering special onomatopoeia techniques.

The best way is to avoid speaking as much as possible.

Of course, even without speaking, Jingni and Xu Qing still have ways to communicate.

Transmitting sounds secretly is a form of communication for martial arts masters.

By mixing one's voice with internal energy, it is transmitted one-way to the ears of a specific person.

Jing Ni naturally mastered this technique as well.

As the two walked through Guo Kai's manor, Jing Ni couldn't help but exclaim, "This place is even more magnificent than it appears from the outside."

"Of course!" Xu Qing said matter-of-factly. "Guo Kai is not a frugal person either. Over the years, he has embezzled countless amounts of the people's hard-earned money. In addition, he has actively accepted bribes from the Qin state."

"Take that recent incident for example. The Qin state asked him to help get rid of Li Mu, and the money they offered was definitely not small."

"Otherwise, Guo Kai wouldn't have gone to such lengths."

After speaking these words to Jingni through telepathic communication, Xu Qing then outlined the next steps: "Hurry up and figure out the layout here."

Jingni's gaze immediately hardened.

Although Xu Qing is very strong, when it comes to things like infiltration and assassination, Jing Ni is the real expert.

She had studied at Luowang Vocational Technical College for many years, where she learned various killing techniques and was very experienced in things like infiltration and reconnaissance of target locations.

She once reached the highest level, the Heavenly Rank, within the Luo Wang organization.

After successfully infiltrating Guo Kai's residence and obtaining legitimate identities, Jing Ni and Xu Qing quickly figured out the true nature of Guo Kai's mansion.

"The security here is even tighter than I imagined."

"Killing Guo Kai here and then leaving calmly is not an easy thing."

The voice that Jingni heard in Xu Qing's ears was somewhat solemn.

"Who said I planned to kill Guo Kai?" Xu Qing's answer surprised Jing Ni. "Sometimes, the most painful thing is to be alive but have no money."

He finally revealed his ultimate goal.

"I came here only to make money!"

"I rarely do things like taking lives."

Chapter 233 The Unexpected Appearance of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon

The Qin cavalry broke through the barriers of the six states, aiming to forge an unprecedented unification.

Despite the overwhelming trend sweeping the world, Xu Qing had no intention of getting involved. He was never a man of ambition with the world in his heart; on the contrary, he was an extreme egoist.

While others were focused on the course of the battle, his eyes were fixed on a unique business opportunity amidst the chaos.

Taking advantage of the fall of various states, they plundered the wealth hoarded by the powerful and wealthy.

Before the fall of the Korean kingdom, Xu Qing had looted the royal treasury and ordered the Nightfall organization to plunder the treasures and collections of many Korean officials.

Although South Korea is the weakest country in the world, its wealth, when it falls on individuals, is still extremely considerable.

It was because of that gain that Xu Qing coveted Zhao's wealth when Qin attacked Zhao.

For an ordinary person, even if they found the Zhao Kingdom's treasury, it would be extremely difficult to transfer those riches away. But Xu Qing was different; he possessed a system.

Although it's a sword-making system, the sword-making workshop itself can also be considered a portable space.

Even if the space is limited, with a little tidying up and squeezing, it can still hold a lot of things.

This allows him to steal more things if he becomes a thief, without worrying about not being able to move the stolen goods.

After learning of Xu Qing's purpose, Jing Ni naturally didn't say much, but continued to help Xu Qing investigate the specific situation of Guo Kai's residence.

With the two of them temporarily settling into Guo Kai's residence, they gained a clear understanding of the specific situation there.

That night, the inky darkness enveloped Handan.

Guo Kai, contrary to his usual behavior, left the mansion. It was said that the war at the front was becoming increasingly tense, and he needed to rush to the palace to have a secret talk with King Zhao Qian all night to deal with the crisis.

With the departure of this powerful minister, the vigilance of the guards in the mansion visibly relaxed. They were originally there to protect Guo Kai, but with their master gone, most of them relaxed their tense nerves and only did superficial work.

"We can make our move now." A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes as he turned to Jing Ni and said.

"What do you need me to do?" Jing Ni asked succinctly, but her eyes were fixed on him, as if trying to discern his true intentions.

"No need, you can wait here." Xu Qing never intended for Jing Ni to get involved from the beginning. He brought her here more to deal with any unexpected situations.

Jingni opened her mouth as if to dissuade her, but in the end, she only managed to utter a single admonition: "Be careful."

"Don't worry." Before Xu Qing finished speaking, his figure had already blended into the night, like a drop of ink falling into clear water, disappearing instantly.

Xu Qing was not unfamiliar with Guo Kai's residence. He had spent some time there as a swordsmith. Although Guo Kai had expanded the place, he and Jing Ni had already figured out the general layout in the past few days.

He had also conducted a preliminary investigation into the places in the mansion where treasures might be hidden.

Some people observe secretly, while others use illusions to read others' minds while they are sleeping at night.

For those whose minds and memories have been read, they only feel like they've had a very heavy dream, unaware that they've already betrayed their secrets in the dream.

In the darkness of night, Xu Qing moved through the air like a ghost.

Guo Kai's mansion was heavily guarded, with private soldiers stationed at many important locations.

He also kept many skilled martial artists in his mansion.

However, these experts are only relatively high-ranking; compared to Xu Qing, they are not in a particularly high position.

Having inherited the unique skills of the "King of Thieves," Dao Zhi, Xu Qing moved here as swiftly as a dragon.

He easily bypassed the many guards and sneaked into the treasury.

"Guo Kai is still rich!"

Looking at the treasures filling the treasury, Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that even the treasury of the former Korean royal palace did not contain as many treasures as this place.

After all, South Korea is too weak, and it already had a notorious greedy woman named Ji Wuye.

The items in the palace were all leftovers after Ji Wuye had selected them; the real treasures were all in Ji Wuye's mansion.
