Wei Zhuang didn't return for the entire night. The next day, he went back to Purple Orchid Pavilion and left in a hurry.
Then, Ji Wuye led his army to seal off the city. Guards were everywhere on the streets. The people of Xinzheng also sensed that something big was about to happen, so they all retreated into their houses and did not dare to come out. The restaurants were also closed. Even the Purple Orchid Pavilion closed its doors and no longer received guests.
Dark clouds covered Xinzheng City, and everyone felt pressured. Even Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie, the successor of Phantom Valley, was no exception.
Looking at Han Fei and the man in the quiet courtyard, they felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders.
"Just as he said, the Eight Petites are here to kill Ying Zheng.”Wei Zhuang held Sharktooth in his arms and looked at the masked King of Qin, Ying Zheng, in the courtyard.
"It seems that there is a huge problem within the Qin country.”Wei Zhuang glanced at the young Ge Nia beside him.
"Every country is like this." Ge Nie said calmly.
"Do you think he can fulfill your dreams?”Wei Zhuang asked.
"Perhaps." Ge Nia said as he looked at Ying Zheng in the courtyard.
"How much do you know about the Eight Petites?" Wei Zhuang turned his head and looked at Ge Nia with his sharp eyes.
Ge Nia was silent for a while, then said,"They belong to an assassin organization called the Network.”
"A net?" Wei Zhuang's eyes narrowed.
"This killer organization is based in the Qin country but has a net in the other six countries. Night of the Han country is one of them. The level of the Eight Petites in the net is higher than Night, so Night will definitely assist them in this operation.”Ge Nia said in a deep voice," Perhaps…Ji Wuye will also mobilize his army to assist from the side.”
"He has already taken action. The entire Xinzheng has been sealed off by his army.”Wei Zhuang hugged Sharktooth and said coldly.
"The King of Qin must not die here." Ge Nia's eyes were as sharp as blades.
"Everyone knows about this." Wei Zhuang said coldly.
Inside Violet Orchid Pavilion.
Su Ying's room.
"System, check all the members of the Eight Petites.”
[Complete exploration requires 400 reading points. Current reading points: 217. Not enough. Unable to explore.]
"Oh, then forget it."
Su Ying was only curious about the Eight Petites on a whim. He did not have to know.
"Oh right, there should be quite a few books in the Han Imperial Palace. It's just nice to pass the time and increase the reading points I lack. It'll be easy for Red Lotus to bring me there. Why didn't I think of it before?”Su Ying slapped his head and immediately left the Purple Orchid Pavilion for the Han King's Palace.
Most of the Han Kingdom's army had been sent to the front line to guard against the Qin army. The guards in the palace had been sent by Ji Wuye to seal the city. The security of the palace was unimaginably lax.
When Su Ying discovered Hong Lian, she was sitting by the lotus pond with her face in her hands and staring blankly at the goldfish swimming in it. She did not even know that Su Ying had approached her.
"Hello,"
" Ah, ah!!!" Hong Lian was startled by the sudden voice behind her. Her body unconsciously leaned forward, screaming as she looked at the approaching water surface. Just as she was about to fall into the pool, a hand reached out and pulled her slender wrist into an embrace.
"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed." Su Ying lowered his head and smiled at Hong Lian in his embrace.
Hong Lian broke free from his embrace, her face slightly red." I'm not thinking about anything. I can't blame you for suddenly making a sound to scare me." It's not dark yet. Why are you here?”
Su Ying saw a hint of happiness in her clear and innocent eyes.
"I need your help with something."
"You actually need my help? Tell me, what's the matter?”
"You should know where the library of the Han royal palace is, right? Bring me there." Su Ying looked at her and said.
"Library? Where are you going? There was nothing in there except for the bamboo slips. It was very boring.”Red Lotus said in surprise.
I went there for those bamboo slips…
"Are you really going?" Hong Lian confirmed it again. Su Ying nodded. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to cause trouble, he really wouldn't have come to ask Hong Lian for help.
When Hong Lian brought Su Ying to the library in the Han Imperial Palace, Su Ying looked at the two-story library in front of him with disdain. The library in the palace was actually so small. Even the Heaven Sect's library was much bigger than his.
Forget it, it was better than nothing.
The two of them entered.
"Princess Red Lotus, why are you here?”The only historian in the library looked at Red Lotus in surprise." He is?”
"He's my friend, and he wanted to come here to look up some things.”Hong Lian said to him.
" No, Princess Red Lotus, the things in the library cannot be shown to outsiders without the King's personal order..." Before the old historian could finish speaking, Su Ying appeared behind him and knocked him unconscious with a knife in front of Red Lotus 'widened eyes.
"You killed him?" Hong Lian looked at the fallen Grand Scribe in shock.
"No, I knocked him out. He's so long-winded and annoying.”Su Ying walked inside. Hong Lian patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. She glanced at the old chief historian who had fallen to the ground and followed Su Ying.
Then, Hong Lian was surprised to find that Su Ying had finished reading a scroll of bamboo slips with just a glance. While she was in a daze, Su Ying had already finished reading all the books on a row of bookshelves and casually threw them on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Hong Lian looked at Su Ying, who had picked up another bamboo scroll, and asked.
"Reading books." Su Ying looked at her inexplicably, then ignored her and focused on reading. His reading points were also rising rapidly.
"Is there anyone who sees it like this?" Red Lotus could not help but think.
After that, Hong Lian spent the entire afternoon and half of the night watching Su Ying flip through all the books in the library. The entire second floor of the library was no longer clean and tidy like before. Instead, it was in a mess. There were bamboo slips scattered on the ground, and she could not even walk.
"Alright, let's go." Su Ying threw away the last bamboo scroll in his hand and walked to Hong Lian's side. Hong Lian nodded blankly and followed him out of the library pavilion, leaving behind the unconscious chief historian at the door and the chaotic library pavilion. If he woke up and saw this scene in front of him, he might faint from anger again.
It was already late at night. Hong Lian ran to the dining room to get some food. She and Su Ying enjoyed dinner in an empty Cold Palace.
After that, Hong Lian practiced her footwork and swordsmanship in front of Su Ying, while Su Ying sat at the side to cultivate. It looked like he was cultivating, but in fact, he was drawing a lottery.
Current reading points: 1376. Would you like to exchange for an intermediate lottery draw?
"Exchange."
[Exchange successful. Remaining reading points: 376 points. Intermediate lottery draw…Congratulations to the host for drawing the Water of Life (3 drops). It can detoxify all poisons, heal serious injuries, recover (enhance) internal strength, strengthen one's physique, and maintain eternal youth.]
Good stuff…
Su Ying looked at the light blue liquid bead in the small jade bottle that appeared in his hand and nodded.
Not to mention the first three effects, even the last one, eternal youth, was enough to make all the women in the world go crazy.
