.............
Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Buwei stood in front of the hall with his back turned, listening to the reports of his subordinates. His entire body emitted a gloomy aura.
"Are you saying that more than thirty Earth-level assassins failed to assassinate a profligate young master who only had two teams of seasoned armored soldiers as his guards?”
"Moreover, there was an Earth-ranked first-class assassin who led the attack and was suspected to have been captured alive?”
Lu Buwei said as he turned to look at the graceful woman who was reporting in front of the hall. His expression was very ugly.
The woman was wearing a silver iron mask with scratches on it, and her appearance could not be seen.
However, it was not difficult to tell from her slim figure that she should be a beauty.
However, Lu Buwei didn't have any unnecessary thoughts. There was only a trace of anger on his sinister face.
He so brazenly sent people to assassinate Wang Ling was not just to warn Wang Jian.
At the same time, it was also a signal to all those who might be roped in by Ying Zheng.
That was to not touch the Prime Minister's bottom line.
As long as they did not stand on the opposite side of him, then everyone would always mind their own business.
The Prime Minister's estate was willing to give up enough benefits.
But if he stood in front of Lu Buwei, he would die!
But now, the assassination attempt by the Network had failed, and it seemed that someone from the General's Estate had captured an Earth-grade first-class assassin. He was almost a kill-grade assassin.
Naturally, this made Lu Buwei very angry.
The death of more than 30 assassins was a small matter, but it meant that the Prime Minister's Estate was incompetent.
Someone stepped on his face and left.
"Yes, Lord Prime Minister. More than thirty assassins from the network were killed by the other party.”
"However, the missing assassin may not have been captured alive. It is also possible that someone outside the intelligence network acted and took him away in order to cover up the traces of the attack.”
The silver-masked woman lowered her head and replied to Lu Buwei's angry question without much fluctuation in her voice.
Hearing her words, Lu Buwei couldn't help but think.
He was someone who could rise from an ordinary merchant in the seven countries to the current Marquis Wenxin, who had power in the court.
Naturally, Lu Buwei was not an ordinary person who would be blinded by anger. He had a deep shrewdness and experience that ordinary people did not have.
After hearing the words 'beyond the intelligence', he already had a lot of thoughts.
"Frightening Salamander, how did these thirty over Earth-level assassins die?”
Lu Buwei asked the silver-masked woman expressionlessly.
The Startling Salamander answered Lu Buwei's question.
"According to my observation, half of the 30-odd assassins were killed by the refined crossbows of the Hundred-Battle Armored Soldiers, while the remaining dozen or so people had many sword wounds on their bodies.”
"He must have died after he got close to the carriage and fought with many armored soldiers.”
As for the remaining Earth Grade One, he should have been the key person in the assassination attempt, but now he failed. It was very likely that there was an expert other than the General's Estate who took action.”
It had to be said that as a first-class killer, the Startling Salamander's eyesight was indeed excellent.
Although he wasn't there, he could guess most of the actual situation based on the wounds on the network assassins and the assassination plan that was originally formulated.
Unfortunately, the most important thing was that she could not guess it.
"Could it be Ge Nie, the disciple of Ghost Valley who was by Ying Zheng's side?”
Hearing the Startling Salamander's report, the first person Lu Buwei thought of was Ge Nia.
The strength of the vertical sword in Phantom Valley was indeed not to be underestimated.
In the entire net, there were very few who could deal with this person.
If Ge Nia had acted, it would not have been difficult for him to save Wang Ling from the assassination after the Network's precise plan.
In this way, everything made sense.
Moreover, Wang Ling had just come out of the Drunken Flower Pavilion for a banquet, and in his hand was Ying Zheng's Sword of the King of Qin.
It could be seen that the two sides had reached some kind of cooperation.
If Ge Nia was coincidentally protecting Wang Ling in secret, it was not entirely impossible.
Thinking of this, Lu Buwei couldn't help but let out a deep breath.
Then, he snorted coldly and said slowly,
"It seems that I have underestimated this little bastard Wang Ling and Ying Zheng.”
It didn't matter who the guard's idea was.
Lu Buwei had to admit that his reaction had been predicted.
However, since Wang Ling was still alive.
Then, whether it was to save face or to warn Wang Jian and the rest of the Qin court, the assassination of the Network must continue!
Otherwise, the failure of the Network this time would definitely attract more people.
