Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

"This..." Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye looked at each other.

Although Han Wangan's idea is indeed a bit far-fetched, it is undeniable that it is indeed possible to realize it.

Han Wangan seemed to have guessed this as well. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Quick, call Honglian over. I'll talk to her in person!"

In the Qin State Hall.

I don’t know how despicable King An of Han was in order to preserve his throne and power.

After Ying An had a frank communication with Ying Zheng.

Unexpectedly, yet understandably, Ying Zheng rejected Ying An's help without hesitation.

After all, Ying Zheng is the future First Emperor. He already feels guilty for receiving this mysterious secret method that can lead to immortality from his son. How can he use Ying An's power to realize his plan to regain power?

Moreover, even if Ying An hadn't happened, Ying Zheng was confident that his plan would not fail. Furthermore, he now possessed a spiritual cultivation level at the peak of possession.

After leaving the quiet room, Ying Zheng directly told Li Si that the affairs of this mission must be decided by Ying An, so that Ying An, the chief envoy of the mission, truly has the power worthy of the name.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng prepared to leave the guild hall with Gai Nie.

The Qinhui Pavilion is indeed a big tree that attracts the wind.

Now it has become the focus of attention of the entire Xinzheng.

Although Ying Zheng was hiding there and there was no possibility of being exposed, he still stubbornly chose to act according to his plan.

In the next room.

When Ying An had just had a frank communication with Ying Zheng.

Gai Nie also met Wei Zhuang who was under house arrest here.

"Xiao Zhuang, what's going on? Why are you in the Qinhui Pavilion?"

As soon as he saw Wei Zhuang, Gai Nie went straight to the point.

The Guiguzi lineage is a vertical and horizontal lineage, and only when the two sides fight will the winner be qualified to inherit the Guiguzi lineage and become the next generation of Guiguzi.

This also means that the descendants of the two lineages, one vertical and one horizontal, will make completely opposite and inevitably hostile choices as soon as they set out on their mission.

Since Gai Nie chose Qin, Wei Zhuang would of course choose one of the six states in Shandong.

Although Wei Zhuang chose the weakest Han State, which was something Gai Nie had never expected, he now appeared in the Qin State Hall, and was only separated from Ying An by a wall.

This made Gai Nie think more.

Among the disciples of Guiguzi throughout the ages, there are those who will do anything to achieve their goals.

Gai Nie has always been proud of his relationship with Wei Zhuang, and even if there is a dispute between the two sides, there will always be a bottom line.

But now, Wei Zhuang appeared in the Qin State Hall, and was only separated from Ying An by a wall. Gai Nie couldn't help but think about it.

"Xiao Zhuang, answer me! Why are you here? What do you want to do?"

Gai Nie looked at Wei Zhuang with a serious expression.

Wei Zhuang smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Brother, do you think that appearing here now is what I wanted?"

Gai Nie raised his eyebrows and showed a puzzled look.

Although he didn't want to admit that he was now under house arrest by Ying An, under Gai Nie's gaze, Wei Zhuang sighed helplessly and said, "Brother, I wonder what you think of Master Ying An?"

"Master Ying'an?" Speaking of Ying'an, Gai Nie's tone was clearly more sympathetic. He said, "Although Master Ying'an has been bedridden for many years, he is worthy of being a member of the Qin royal family. I hope Xiaozhuang will not involve him in our fight!!"

His expression suddenly changed as Wei Zhuang said dissatisfiedly, "Brother, do you think I'm someone without any bottom line? Have you forgotten the oath we made before we set out on our journey? From the beginning to the end, I dare not forget it!!"

Throughout the generations of Guigu, the struggles for the successors of the Zongheng and Heng lineages rarely ended peacefully. More often than not, the two sides would fight without even considering their bottom line.

It was common for Pang Juan to dig out Sun Bin's patella and for Sun Bin to force Pang Juan to death.

When Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang set out on their journey and left the Guigu lineage's base in Yunmengze, they swore to heaven that even if they had to fight each other, they would never cross the bottom line.

At this moment, seeing that Gai Nie actually doubted him, it was no wonder that Wei Zhuang was so angry.

Although Gai Nie was puzzled about Wei Zhuang's purpose of appearing in the Qin State Pavilion, he was also worried that he and Wei Zhuang would follow the same path as their predecessors.

"Xiao Zhuang, don't misunderstand. Senior brother doesn't doubt you. It's just that your sudden appearance in the Qin State Hall really... makes senior brother a little worried." Gai Nie hurriedly explained.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang's expression relaxed a bit, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, it's not my intention to stay here today. On the contrary, I'm under house arrest. And I want to remind you, don't underestimate Young Master Ying An!!"

"Young Master Ying An?" Gai Nie couldn't figure out why Wei Zhuang's brows showed an extremely solemn expression when he mentioned Ying An, just like... when they faced Hei Bai Xuan Jian during their first assessment.

But Young Master Ying An is just a young man who has been bedridden for more than ten years and whose health has only improved slightly today.

"That's right!" Wei Zhuang sighed and looked at Gai Nie, saying, "It seems that even after being in Qin for so long, you still haven't truly understood the true nature of this Young Master Ying An!"

"Xiao Zhuang, you're not trying to tell me that Master Ying An is holding you captive here, are you?" Gai Nie asked in astonishment. "Could it be that it's Luo Wang's assassin Jing Niu? Or is it Shao Siming from the Yin-Yang Clan?"

From beginning to end, Gai Nie never suspected Ying An. Even when he guessed that he was under house arrest by Ying An, he still thought that it was Ying An who gave the orders and his subordinates who carried them out.

Wei Zhuang had no choice but to say bluntly, "Brother, Master Ying An's strength far exceeds both you and me!!"

"You...what do you mean?" Gai Nie was extremely shocked, and his mind quickly recalled the details of every meeting between him and Ying An.

But no matter what, in Gai Nie's memory, Ying An was always a weak boy who was tortured by illness.

Even though his body has begun to recover in recent days, he is still at most an ordinary person.

"Brother, you have to be careful. The real terrifying existence hidden in the Qin State is not someone else, but this young man Ying An, who you regard as a sickly young man!!" Wei Zhuang said bluntly.

If he was not sure that Wei Zhuang would not joke with him about such a thing, Gai Nie would have suspected that his junior brother was setting a trap for him.

After a moment of hesitation, Gai Nie said seriously, "Xiao Zhuang, tell me what happened? What did Master Ying An do?"

Gai Nie, the dignified successor of Guiguzi's swordsmanship, had been in Qin for so long and was even trusted by the King of Qin and had always been guarding by his side, but he was unable to discover anything wrong with Ying An.

Neither Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, nor Zi Nu found anything strange.

The Guigu lineage's legacy was indeed powerful, but Ying An was even more bizarre and terrifying.

Just thinking about the mysterious and elusive methods he used when he fought with the Blood-Clothed Marquis Bai Yifei not long ago is enough to make people's heart palpitate.

Having even admitted to being under house arrest, Wei Zhuang had nothing to hide. Under Gai Nie's stunned gaze, he recounted everything that had happened tonight, focusing on Ying An's terrifying strength.

After listening to Wei Zhuang's explanation, Gai Nie's mind was like a flash of thunder.

No matter what, he could not connect the murderous, tyrannical and scheming person described by Wei Zhuang with the Young Master Ying An in his impression.

However, Wei Zhuang's current situation undoubtedly showed that he had been deceived before. He had been deceived by Ying An's weak image and had not discovered any flaws in the other party for such a long time.

For a moment, Gai Nie even began to doubt himself.

"Xiao Zhuang!!" Gai Nie glanced at Wei Zhuang with a complicated expression and said, "When I was in Xianyang Palace, I had a good relationship with Master Ying An. If... if you don't mind, I can help you mediate and get Master Ying An to let you leave the guild hall!!"

"No need!" Wei Zhuang flatly refused. "I have my own way to resolve today's situation. Please rest assured, Senior Brother."

"Alright!" Gai Nie knew Wei Zhuang wouldn't agree. After all, they had been brothers for so many years, and he knew Wei Zhuang's temperament very well.

If they were still apprentices at Guigu, Wei Zhuang might not mind accepting my help. But now that they were both apprentices and had even begun a Guigu duel, wouldn't accepting my help mean that the competitive Wei Zhuang would admit he was inferior to me?

"Then be careful!" Gai Nie reminded kindly.

"Brother, you too!" Wei Zhuang nodded and said, "Young Master Ying An is very scheming. You are in Qin State, so you will inevitably have to negotiate with him. Be careful!"

After nodding as well, Gai Nie clasped his fists and bowed to Zi Nu and Zhang Liang respectively before turning around and leaving the room.

"It seems that you and Mr. Gai Nie are not like the Guiguzi of previous generations." Zi Nu looked at Wei Zhuang with interest.

The fighting among the descendants of Guiguzi from generation to generation has become a common knowledge.

However, compared with the deep-seated hatred between their ancestors, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie seemed a little out of place.

They were clearly about to become enemies, yet they acted like brothers.

"My senior brother and I made a vow when we left the mountain. We will never fight without restraint for the position of Guigu like our predecessors did." Wei Zhuang obviously did not like discussing the relationship between himself and Gai Nie.

Wei Zhuang is a man with a cold exterior but a warm heart. He has always kept his emotions hidden, except for the occasional display of genuine feelings in front of Gai Nie. In front of others, Wei Zhuang is always that cold-faced, ruthless swordsman.

At this moment, he was able to explain a few words to Zi Nu, thanks to their experience of sharing hardships, and also because the brothers did not avoid Zi Nu and Zhang Liang when they were communicating just now.

Otherwise, under other circumstances, Wei Zhuang would not have responded to Zi Nu's question at all.

In the courtyard.

The scene of brutal fighting and severed limbs scattered across the ground had now been almost completely cleared. Aside from the thick smell of blood still lingering in the air, the mansion now looked quite elegant.

Putting on the silver mask again to cover his face, Ying Zheng instructed Li Si before parting, "Mr. Li Si, my son is young and needs your care during this mission! When the delegation returns to Daqin, I will definitely not let you down!"

Li was immediately ecstatic. The reason why he took the initiative to become the deputy envoy of this mission was not to show his talents to Ying Zheng?

When he first set out on his mission to the State of Qin, Li Si, in order to stand out, even stopped Lu Buwei's carriage in the middle of the night, took the initiative to recommend himself, and successfully became Lu Buwei's retainer.

Now his painstaking efforts were not in vain after all. Although it was different from the plan, he successfully completed the purpose of the mission and was valued by the King of Qin.

But knowing that the Qin King's white dragon fish suit appeared in Xinzheng, coupled with the Qin King's current attitude of respecting the wise and humble, clearly meant that once he returned to the Qin Dynasty, Li Si would definitely be able to realize his dream.

Suppressing his inner excitement, Li Si bowed deeply to the ground and said, "I will never let your Majesty down!"

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and when he saw Gai Nie appear, he prepared to leave the guild hall with Gai Nie.

After learning Ying An's true identity from Wei Zhuang, Gai Nie's heart was shrouded in a thick haze.

After all, Gai Nie knew very well that in the Xianyang Palace, the only one who truly occupied Ying Zheng's heart of fatherly love was Ying An.

It’s not that Ying Zheng doesn’t care about his eldest son Fusu and other heirs, but in comparison, Fusu has the Chu forces behind him. Even as the King of Qin, Ying Zheng cannot get close to Fusu at will, because this will send a wrong signal to the court.

Only Ying An, not only had no maternal family behind him, but also had no support in the court. He was also born with a weak constitution, and almost took all the favor of Ying Zheng.

But now, Gai Nie discovered that Ying An was the most hidden one among all the young masters.

Wei Zhuang's strength was enough to rival Gai Nie. Since Ying An was able to safely imprison Wei Zhuang and his companions, it meant that he had the power to easily suppress him.

All along, in the Xianyang Palace, Gai Nie had gone to Ying An's bedroom countless times, ordered by Ying Zheng to visit him. Even on many occasions, when Ying An's illness had flared up and his life was on the verge of death, it was Gai Nie who forcibly stabilized him with his own true qi.

It could be said that Gai Nie had saved Ying An countless times. Yet, if Wei Zhuang hadn't been so sure, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about Ying An.

Faced with this incredible reality, Gai Nie's previous good impression of Ying An disappeared completely, and was replaced by a strong sense of vigilance and fear.

"Mr. Gai Nie!!" Seeing Gai Nie staring at Ying An but showing no intention of leaving, Ying Zheng's heart moved, and he instantly guessed that Gai Nie probably knew Ying An's strength now.

"Your Majesty!" Gai Nie's face was full of confusion. He bowed to Ying Zheng and tried several times to expose Ying An's disguise in front of Ying Zheng, but in the end he didn't know how to start.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng seemed to have guessed his thoughts and took the initiative to say, "Sir, there is no need to overthink it. Do you know that there is a great terror between life and death?"

Gai Nie was stunned at first, then seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

Ying Zheng laughed heartily and said, "My son is a natural born saint! Sir, don't worry!"

In Gai Nie's opinion, Ying Zheng's words undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions. But...how was this possible? How could Ying An, a frail and sickly teenager, earn the respect of Ying Zheng as a natural saint?

Unfortunately, the fact that Ying Zheng was able to give Gai Nie some advice was already thanks to Gai Nie's loyal teaching and protection over the years.

Although Gai Nie was the heir of the art of swordsmanship, he was still a descendant of the Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng, who had yet to take power. As a descendant of Guiguzi, he was essentially a bodyguard within the Qin Empire, though he was also responsible for teaching King Qin Ying Zheng the art of swordsmanship.

But as a king, how could Ying Zheng have so much time to practice martial arts?

Whether it is Gai Nie or Wei Zhuang, it can be said that among all the descendants of Guiguzi in history, they are probably the worst.

Apart from his powerful martial arts, he seemed to know nothing about Guiguzi's art.

Although Ying Zheng trusted Gai Nie, he did not place too much trust in him. Otherwise, Ying Zheng would not have simply regarded Gai Nie as a bodyguard.

Gai Nie wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't speak. Instead, he bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"This place has become a place of trouble. Sir, I'd better leave here as soon as possible!!" Ying Zheng nodded slightly, then took the lead and walked out of the guild hall.

Gai Nie followed closely behind, but before stepping out of the archway of the courtyard, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Ying An.

Ying Zheng and Gai Nie had just stepped out of the gate of the Qin State Pavilion when dozens of guards escorted a carriage towards the Qin State Pavilion on the street on one side.

Inside the carriage.

Honglian looked timid, with vigilance and fear between her brows.

Opposite Honglian, Han Fei, who used to be free and unrestrained, now had a gloomy and frightening temperament. His face was filled with murderous aura.

Chapter 81: The Mighty Gods and Demons of Ancient Times! The Great Taboo of the Superiors!!

After staring at Han Fei for a long time, Honglian didn't know where she got the courage from, and said in a timid tone, "You are not Han Fei. What...what did you do to my ninth brother?"

Han Fei turned his head stiffly and looked at Honglian opposite him.

The moment Honglian's eyes met Han Fei's, a sword filled with endless murderous energy suddenly appeared in her mind.

In an instant, Honglian's eyes turned red and she couldn't help but avoid Han Fei's sight.
