This guy is so strong, shouldn’t he kill me with another sword?

"Don't doubt your ears. I won't kill you. Otherwise, how could I have only used one-third of my strength in that sword strike just now?" the Ninth Lord of Li continued.

Then, the huge sword on his shoulder shook, and a sword energy pierced through the acupuncture points of one of them.

This person is naturally Xiang Bo.

"Sir, sir, kill him, kill him..." After being able to speak, Xiang Bo looked at Ying Xiao viciously and said.

But when he felt the cold look of the Ninth Lord of Li, he immediately shut his mouth and retreated behind the Ninth Lord of Li like a frightened dog.

"I don't understand." Ying Xiao narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

"Now is not the time to kill you, King Wu. Enjoy your last moments. It won't be long before the Qin Dynasty ceases to exist in this world." The Ninth Lord of Li said to Ying Xiao in an absolute tone.

"Go back and tell Ying Zheng this."

"His achievements, the achievements of this emperor who has been remembered for thousands of years, are ultimately just a favor to others."

"There will be no more Great Qin?" Ying Xiao sneered when he heard the words of the Ninth Li Lord.

His tone was equally absolute, "Then I will also tell you that the Great Qin will always exist. With Your Majesty and me, the Great Qin will not tolerate any villains interfering."

"Very good, very courageous, but I hope you still have such courage when the time comes." The Ninth Lord of Li sneered.

"The Qin Dynasty will never have the time you describe." Ying Xiao responded confidently.

"Hahaha, hahaha, quite interesting. See you later." The Ninth Lord of Li laughed. "I just hope that when we meet again, you won't still be so weak."

"When we meet again, I will return this sword, and my sword will not show mercy." Ying Xiao said heavily, "So, I think it's better for you to kill me now."

"Then I, the Ninth Lord, will be looking forward to it..."

After finishing speaking, the Ninth Lord of Li took Xiang Bo away.

Even though the figures of the Ninth Lord of Li and Xiang Bo had disappeared from Ying Xiao's sight for a long time, Ying Xiao still couldn't understand why the Ninth Lord of Li would let him go.

Because of disdain?

Because it's hard to kill?

Because I want to see how powerful my sword can be? Can I become his real opponent?

I'm afraid neither...

"Your Highness, don't think about it. He didn't kill you because he couldn't." At this time, another voice sounded, "The reason why he only saved Xiang Bo is because he knew that if he continued to push his luck, I would take action."

"At that time, he won't be able to take Xiang Bo away."

Chapter 90 The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

As soon as the words fell, a Taoist with a slender figure, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a feather fan in his hand walked into the hall, knelt down in front of Ying Xiao and said, "I am the Master of Lishu, and I pay my respects to His Majesty the King of Wu."

"Thank you, senior!" Ying Xiao quickly helped the man up and expressed his gratitude.

Ying Xiao already had some guesses about this person. He was definitely one of the powerful descendants of the Qin royal family.

"I did not use the sword just now, Your Highness, please forgive me. I just wanted to see where Your Highness' limit is." The Master of Lishu also explained why he showed up now.

Ying Xiao did not ask about his identity, but just smiled and said, "How is it, I didn't disappoint you, Senior."

"I dare not say I am disappointed, I am only shocked." The Lishu Master said with emotion, "Your Highness's talent in martial arts is the only one I have ever seen in my life. I believe that it won't be long before neither the Ninth Li Lord, one of the military masters just now, nor I will be able to defeat Your Highness with one sword."

"Senior, your words are exaggerated." Ying Xiao said with a smile, "But let's not talk about this. The Ninth Lord of Li, one of the military masters, is the real leader of this military strategist."

"That's right, but unfortunately, now that I'm here, he won't go to see those Confucianists anymore." Lishuzhu said, "But I still have to go see this old friend."

"Then I'll trouble you, senior." Ying Xiao said.

"Your Highness, I dare not take on this responsibility!" The Lishu Master said hurriedly, "But Your Highness, please be careful here. This Little Sage Manor is much more complicated than you imagined."

"Don't worry, senior. I will take care of it." Ying Xiao, "I will definitely not let your majesty down."

The master of Lishu nodded and then said goodbye.

"This world is more exciting than I originally imagined." After the master of Lishu left, Ying Xiao's eyes were shining brightly and a strong feeling arose in his heart.

The stronger the opponent is, the more it can stimulate the strength in Ying Xiao's heart.

......

Coming to the eaves outside the alley, Ying Xiao slept with Yu Ji all night.

"Your Highness..." After getting up the next day, Yu Ji felt very embarrassed and murmured, "Your Highness, you won't stay here with me all night, right?"

"Of course not, so you're touched?" Ying Xiao said with a wicked smile.

Immediately, Yu Ji's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, but she nodded.

"Hahaha, little girl, are you shy? But next time you have to rest well before doing anything." Ying Xiao said with a smile, "If I were not around, such a night with such a little beauty, how dangerous it would be."

"Thank you, Your Highness..." Yu Ji's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, and she was also worried. "I just hope that the people of the Xiang family won't find the poisonous insects in their bodies."

"You don't have to worry about that." Ying Xiao smiled, "Because Xiang Di is already in Haiyue Cottage waiting for your trial. Let's go, avenge your father's murder, and put your worries to rest."

"Your Highness, you..." Yu Ji was very surprised.

"Xiao Yu, you can't blame me for taking action without permission. After all, I really couldn't bear to wake you up when you were asleep." Ying Xiao said, "Of course, I also had a selfish motive. That is, you look very beautiful and sweet when you are asleep. I want to see more of you."

"Your Highness..."

After returning to Haiyue Cottage, facing Xiang Di who was brought back by Tianxing, Yu Ji showed no mercy and personally killed the enemy who killed her father.

Afterwards, Yu Ji felt relieved of the hatred in her heart, but she also cried for a long time and was very sad. After all, her father was dead, a soldier who fought on the battlefield, but died just because of a nobleman's words after drinking.

......

"Meng Yi, is there still no news about Lord Chu Nan?" On the pavilion, Ying Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked Meng Yi beside him.

"Your Highness, no. We have explored the entire Sanghai and areas within several miles of Sanghai, and we have indeed found no trace of Lord Chu Nan." Meng Yi said.

"Are you sure the entire Sanghai has been explored?" Ying Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Oh... Your Highness, there are two more places. One is Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and the other is the underground secret room of an inn." Meng Yi said.

"He will come, so these are the two places." Ying Xiao said.

"But Your Highness, Xiao Shengxian Manor has been under our surveillance from the beginning. No matter how powerful Lord Chu Nan is, it is impossible for him to enter there quietly. There was an inn that we did not monitor at the beginning." Meng Yi said.

"Then there is an inn." Ying Xiao said.

"Your Highness, according to my analysis, it is in Xiaoshengxianzhuang," said Meng Yi.

"Why?" Ying Xiao asked.

"Your Highness, it's actually very simple. You said that Lord Chu Nan's goal is that Zhang Liang, so he will naturally help Zhang Liang." Meng Yi said, "If I were him, after knowing Xinghun's goal, I would definitely tell Zhang Liang and make Zhang Liang grateful to him."

"That seems to be the case." Ying Xiao nodded, "And I think Lord Chu Nan must know about Xinghun's actions."

"Your Highness, General Meng Yi, if analyzed using the art of diplomacy, has a different result. He is in a secret room underground in an inn." At this time, Wei Zhuang came and whispered.

"General Wei, I would like to hear the details." Meng Yi nodded and spoke.

"The most effective way to make someone your friend is never to do small favors," Wei Zhuang said, "but to make the enemy of your enemy your friend."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend..." Meng Yi murmured.

"Why does Lord Chu Nan want Zifang? Isn't it to help him overthrow the Qin Dynasty? But if it's just some favors, even if Zifang does have some personal grudges and dissatisfaction with the Qin Dynasty, will Zifang really help him deal with the Qin Dynasty?" Wei Zhuang said.

"In my opinion, not necessarily."

"However, if Zifang completely stands on the opposite side of Daqin, even if Duke Chu Nan does nothing, he and Zifang will become the most solid ally and friend."

"And this time, the Yin-Yang family's move against Yan Lu is an opportunity for Zifang to stand on the opposite side of Daqin."

"Frame-up?" Ying Xiao narrowed his eyes and said.

"That's right, Your Highness, it's a frame-up." Wei Zhuang said, "Pao Ding, Dao Zhi and Da Tie Chui are brothers in life and death, and Dao Zhi and Da Tie Chui are your Highness's men, so Pao Ding must be one too, and that's the fact."

"Zifang knows the secrets held by Yan Lu."

"In the entire empire, if you ask who wants to know this secret the most, it must be your Majesty."

After hearing Wei Zhuang's analysis, Ying Xiao nodded heavily, "That's right. At least from the looks of it, the person who took Yan Lu away can only be this king."

"It is true that the enemy of my enemy is my true friend."

"Is this the chess move that Lord Chu Nan is making?"

"Your Highness, if my guess is correct, on the day when the Yin-Yang family took action, the Chu Nan Guild came to this Haiyue Cottage." Wei Zhuang continued, "Because for them, the only change in this action was Your Highness."

"As for Pao Ding, they would never kill him in a secret room in the basement of an inn, but on an unknown path, because this way Zifang would be able to see His Highness killing people to silence them."

"Mr. Wei Zhuang is indeed a disciple of Guiguzi." Ying Xiao said with a smile, "No wonder I said you are the current Guiguzi. Mr. Gai has no objection at all."

Chapter 91 Zhenlong chess game!

"He is always too idealistic!" Wei Zhuang said.

"To be honest, you two are very interesting. It's just that you are both men. If you were a man and a woman, you would truly interpret what it means to love and hate each other, hahaha..." Ying Xiao laughed.

Meng Yi also laughed non-stop.

As for Wei Zhuang, he was naturally extremely embarrassed.

"Meng Yi, tell Mr. Gai and Dao Zhi and the others not to worry too much about Pao Ding, and not to take action in the inn to avoid any accidents. It is safer to wait until they reach that unknown path." Then, Ying Xiao instructed Meng Yi.

"I understand, Your Highness."

"Then next, I should also prepare for the arrival of Lord Chu Nan."

"How will Your Highness respond?" Wei Zhuang asked.

"Since he likes playing chess, let the game deal with him." Ying Xiao said with a smile, "The last time I played a game with him, I had already thoroughly understood his chess moves."

"However, he is Lord Chu Nan after all, so he needs to be dealt with seriously. He still needs to be in seclusion for a day or two."

"Retreat... for a day or two..." Upon hearing Ying Xiao's words, Wei Zhuang's mouth twitched a little. Retreat only takes a day or two. That's what Ying Xiao said, and Wei Zhuang believed it. If it were someone else, Shark Tooth would have already been unsheathed to tell that person not to pretend in front of him, Wei Zhuang.

......

“Lord Chu Nan, this time, I will make you understand that you are just a chess piece.” In the palace, Ying Xiao sneered and said to himself, “The last time, outside Xianyang City, you played chess with me, that was the beginning of your failure.”

After talking to himself, Ying Xiao entered a state of seclusion and began to recall the last game between him and Lord Chu Nan. With his extraordinary understanding, he analyzed every move made by Lord Chu Nan over and over again.

This analysis took a whole day and night.

The limits of Chu Nangong's chess skills are all in Ying Xiao's mind.

"Senior Nan Gong, how long will it take you to crack a game of Zhenlong chess that is only aimed at you? Or in other words, can you crack it?" Ying Xiao murmured.

Then, Ying Xiao spent another half a day, and with his extraordinary understanding, he set up a chess game for Lord Chu Nan.

On the third day, just as Wei Zhuang had expected, Lord Chu Nan showed up, walked out of an inn and headed straight for Haiyue Cottage.

Fusu waited early and greeted him humbly.

"Senior Nan Gong, Fusu has been waiting for a long time." Fusu also walked over from a distance to greet him.

Fusu's words startled Lord Chu Nan, "Sir, do you know that I am coming?"

"It wasn't Fusu who knew Senior was coming, but Uncle Wang said Senior would come." Fusu smiled, "And Uncle Wang has asked Fusu to prepare a gift for Senior Nangong."

"What..." Hearing that Ying Xiao knew that he would come, Lord Chu Nan was shocked, "How is this possible? How did he know that I was coming? Has he seen through my moves?"

"No, absolutely not..."

Although Duke Chu Nan was shocked, he remained calm. He looked at Fusu and couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness King Wu really thinks highly of me, an old man, and even specially prepared a gift for me."

"Lord Nan, what a nice gift..." Fusu said.

"I am really looking forward to it, but what about His Majesty King Wu?" Duke Chu Nan asked with a smile.

"Alas, Uncle Wang is a good man in every way, except that...it's a common problem among men. You should know this, Lord Nan. Even with so many beauties around him, he is still not satisfied. Look, he went out to drink the night before yesterday and hasn't come back yet." Fusu sighed.

"General Meng Yi has been searching for a whole day and night, but there is still no trace of him."

"Hahaha, His Royal Highness Prince Wu is a man of great bearing. He is your majesty's only brother born of the same mother, and also the only king in the world. Naturally, he should have some manly hobbies." Duke Chu Nan laughed, but his tone was very strong, and the two 'only' were even stronger.

Fusu naturally understood what Lord Chu Nan meant, and couldn't help but say in his heart, "Such provocative words are too childish, or, they look down on me too much..."

At this time, Fusu immediately put on an acting skill and smiled very 'forced', "Uncle Wang is indeed deeply trusted by my father, but Fusu also trusts Uncle Wang."

Hearing Fusu's forced laughter, Lord Chu Nan finally felt a little proud, "Internal cracks are often the most fatal."
