Assassination from the Network
Ask Lao Ai to come and see me!"
Lu Buwei gave an order to a trusted aide of the Prime Minister's Residence in the study with a murderous aura. The trusted aide immediately left, and a figure in black and a bamboo hat flashed into the study.
"Greetings, Prime Minister!"
The black-robed figure was none other than Lao Ai, the Earth-rank assassin of the Network.
There were a total of eight levels of net assassins.
At present, Lao Ai was at the third level of the net killer.
In the net, this was already beyond the level of the vast majority of assassins. As for the top two ranks, they were even rarer in number. Each of them was a top-notch assassin who was feared by all countries.
He was extremely mysterious and rarely showed his face.
At the moment, Lao Ai was just a high-level assassin under Lu Buwei's command. He had not received Lu Buwei's recommendation, and had yet to rise to fame and become a powerful minister who could bring chaos to the State of Qin.
"Lao Ai, I have a mission for you. After thinking about it, I think it's best to give it to you.”
Lao Ai, who was wearing a black cloak and a bamboo hat, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard that. A hint of eagerness appeared in his eyes as he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said,"
"I'll do whatever Prime Minister says, and I'll do my best!”
No wonder Lao Ai had such an attitude, because there was also a strict system of rewards and punishments in the net.
The punishment of the net was as cruel as hell on earth, but the rewards of the net were also very generous.
If not for that, it would not have attracted many outlaws and expert swordsmen in the pugilistic world to join the Network.
The world's hustle and bustle come for profit, and the world's chaos goes for profit.
Although this sentence was proposed by Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty, in the era before the Han Dynasty, this kind of human nature had long existed.
Lao Ai, on the other hand, was a man with a strong sense of utility.
In this chaotic world, Lao Ai had both ability and ambition. He wanted to become the ruler of this era, the one who could turn the clouds and rain upside down, and control the fate of the world.
"Alright, change your clothes and don't expose your identity. This time, the person I want you to kill is Ying Zheng!”
As soon as Lu Buwei finished speaking, Lao Ai's hand that was holding the sword trembled slightly. Lu Buwei saw this scene, and his eyes narrowed.
At this moment, Lao Ai's heart was filled with fear.
He hadn't expected that Lu Buwei's mission this time was to assassinate the King of Qin!
No matter how much Lao Ai yearned for utility, he knew what this mission meant.
Although the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had yet to grasp the true power of the State of Qin and was controlled by Lu Buwei, he was still the King of the entire State of Qin.
If Ying Zheng were to be assassinated, it would be earth-shattering for the Qin State.
Besides, Ying Zheng was protected by the number one swordsman of the State of Qin, Ge Nia, who was from the Ghost Valley Faction. With Lao Ai's strength, he was not a match for Ge Nia.
If Lao Ai wanted to successfully assassinate the King of Qin, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
However, Lao Ai knew better than anyone else what kind of person he was facing right now.
If Ying Zheng was a young tiger that had yet to grow into the king of beasts, then Lu Buwei was a mature old wolf.
Although the cubs had some might, the old wolf was a hundred times more dangerous than the cubs.
If Lao Ai showed even the slightest hesitation, his head would probably appear on Lu Buwei's file in the next moment.
Lao Ai could sense the stronger killing intent hidden in the dark corner of the study.
"Lao Ai will risk his life to survive a mountain of blades and a sea of flames!
However, with Ge Nia protecting Ying Zheng, Lao Ai would not succeed even if he risked his life.”
Lao Ai's words were true.
"Haha."
Lu Buwei's expression suddenly turned serious, and he smiled like an old and mature official."
"I'm very satisfied that you have such a heart.
The assassination of Ying Zheng was just a cover. The person I really wanted you to assassinate was Fu Su!”
As soon as Lu Buwei said that, Lao Ai heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he was puzzled as to why Lu Buwei wanted him to assassinate Fu Su, who had always been cowardly and honest, Lao Ai did not dare to ask.
The pawns of the network only needed to carry out their mission, and they did not need to know the reason for the mission.
Lao Ai was only an assassin of the net, not a spy who was tasked with spying. Therefore, he did not know what had happened in the palace, and Fu Su's unusual behavior recently.
"At this moment, Ge Nie is still by Fusu's side, sent by Ying Zheng.
But later, I will send someone to pretend to assassinate Ying Zheng to attract the attention of Ge Nie and Xianyang Palace. Ge Nie will definitely rush over to save Ying Zheng.
Fu Su will not be able to catch up to Ge Nia's speed and will definitely fall behind. At this time, you will take the opportunity to assassinate Fu Su in the Eldest Young Master's residence!”
Lu Buwei's wrinkled hands clenched slightly, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.
"This subordinate will obey!"
Lao Ai responded with a shout, then took the clothes that Lu Buwei had sent over.
In front of Lu Buwei, he took off the uniform he wore during the assassin training and changed into a black outfit that made it impossible to tell his identity.
"This is one of the Yue Ba's new swords, Broken Water.
For this mission, I will give it to you.”
Lu Buwei waved his hand, and another trusted aide brought out an extraordinary ancient sword.
This sword was one of the famous swords forged by the King of Yue, Gou Jian, after he destroyed the State of Wu, when the State of Yue was at its strongest.
Using it to sweep water, the sharp sword qi could split the water waves and only merge them after a long time, hence the name Broken Water.
Lao Ai was delighted. As a swordsman, his love for famous swords was far greater than that of ordinary people.
"Thank you, Prime Minister. This subordinate will not fail you!”
Lao Ai promised Lu Buwei, then retreated with the Broken Water Sword in his hand.
……
Not long after, the originally calm Xianyang Palace suddenly became chaotic.
An assassin had appeared in the bedchamber of Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, and the entire Xianyang Palace had been disturbed.
At the same time, in the Eldest Young Master's Mansion in Xianyang Palace, there were also palace servants from Ying Zheng's bedchamber who came to deliver the news.
"Young Master Fusu, Mister Ge Nia, the king has encountered an assassin in the Xianyang Palace. The assassin is powerful and has killed a large number of guards, threatening the king's life.”
"The guards of Xianyang Palace have always been strict. How could an assassin break in? And at such a sensitive time?”
Fu Su glanced at Ge Nia beside him, and his thoughts spun. He had some guesses.
He calmly said to Ge Nia,"Mister Ge Nia, please quickly go and protect my father. My father is the foundation of the Qin country. Nothing can happen to him!"”
"Young Master," Ge Nia said hesitantly,"His Majesty has instructed me not to leave your side no matter what happens.”
"This is an urgent matter. Father's safety is more important than anything else. I only regret that Fu Su doesn't know martial arts and can't rush to Father's side to protect him! Sir, go quickly!"
Fu Su was not worried that Ge Nia would leave and he would be in danger.
After all, Patriarch Sunflower was even stronger than Ge Nia.
More importantly, if Ge Nia didn't leave, the rat hiding in the dark wouldn't have jumped out!
"Alright, be careful, Young Master."
Seeing this, Ge Nie no longer hesitated. He leaped onto the palace wall and used his qinggong to rush towards Xianyang Palace.
Not long after Ge Nia left the palace, a bright sword light lit up the courtyard of the Eldest Young Master's residence.
A black shadow instantly appeared beside Fu Su.
The Broken Water Sword was unsheathed. The assassin of the net, Lao Ai, had finally made his move!
