Chapter 029: The Battle
"Go to hell, you dog thief." The maidservant stabbed Ying Liang's chest with a dagger.
"Impudent." Zhang Han, who was responsible for Ying Liang's safety, shouted when he saw this scene.
However, the Anti-Qin members wouldn't stop their assassination just because of a sentence. Ying Liang seemed to be scared and didn't react at all. Zhang Han was a little far away from Ying Liang earlier, but even though he used all his strength to save him, the assassin was too close to him.
Zhang Han did not have a chance to save Ying Liang at all. Seeing that the dagger was getting closer and closer to Ying Liang's chest, the Assassin thought about how he would be able to kill Great Qin's Deputy Xiao Yao, which would be a huge blow to Great Qin. Thinking about this, the Assassin could not help but laugh.
However, the assassin suddenly realized that the dagger was getting further and further away from Ying Liang. He did not understand what was going on. Even he was getting further and further away from Ying Liang. Then, his vision went black and he did not know what was going on.
Zhang Han, who had rushed over to save Ying Liang, saw everything. Just as the assassin's dagger was about to stab into Ying Liang's chest, Ying Liang waved his hand and the assassin was sent flying backwards, crashing into the wall of the inn.
Zhang Han knew that Ying Liang had cultivated before, but he never knew that Ying Liang had such a high level of martial arts.
"Sir, are you alright?" Zhang Han asked Ying Liang, who was pale.
"Ahem, it's fine. I'm not used to killing people for the first time.”Ying Liang coughed and said.
"Men, immediately lock down the inn and arrest everyone in it.”Zhang Han saw that Ying Liang was fine, but he felt uncomfortable because it was his first time killing someone.
Ying Liang looked at Zhang Han ordering his men to meet the assassin's accomplices and suddenly thought of something.""Zhang Han, immediately find a doctor and seal off the news. Other than Young Master Fusu, tell everyone that Duke Xiaoyao of Great Qin was assassinated and heavily injured, understand?”
Zhang Han looked at Ying Liang who had recovered and was drinking."Yes, my lord."
Soon, Young Master Fusu, who received the news of Ying Liang's assassination, rushed over with the Six Sword Slaves and the elders of the Yin-Yang School's Fifth Division.
Zhang Han was guarding the door when he saw Young Master Fu Su coming over. He immediately opened the door and waited for Young Master Fu Su to enter. Zhang Han stopped the rest of the people and said,""Daren is seriously injured and is not suitable to receive guests.”
"You…" Great Si Ming wanted to say something but was stopped by Xing Hun. He asked,""I wonder how Duke Xiaoyao is doing?”
"Daren is seriously injured. Although he was treated in time, he is currently unconscious. However, he has already passed the danger.”Zhang Han informed everyone according to the situation that he had discussed with Ying Liang.
Young Master Fu Su was very anxious as he entered the room. Although Ying Liang had suddenly appeared, Fu Su felt that he and Ying Liang had been good friends for many years. At the same time, he had recommended two people to him along the way. When they first met in the hall, his younger brother Huhai had been scolded by Ying Liang.
People weren't afraid of differences, but they were afraid of comparisons. The difference in Ying Liang's treatment of Huhai and Fu Su made Fu Su very happy. In addition, after these days of interaction, Fu Su felt that Ying Liang was a friend and brother that he could confide in. This was very precious to Fu Su.
It should be known that there was no kinship in the imperial family. When Fu Su was young, he had personally experienced Lao Ai's rebellion, and his own mother had died in this rebellion. Now, his younger brother, Huhai, seemed to respect him very much on the surface, but in fact, he was forcing him to do everything.
Now that he had met someone who could treat him sincerely, Fu Su cherished him very much. When he heard that Ying Liang was assassinated today, Fu Su felt angry for the first time.
When Fu Su walked into the inner room, he saw Ying Liang drinking. He was stunned and said,""This…"
Ying Liang looked up and saw Young Master Fu Su. He stood up and said,""Young Master Fu Su is here. It's not good to drink alone.”
Fu Su looked at Ying Liang in a daze and said,""Didn't Zhang Han say that you were assassinated? Moreover, he was seriously injured. Why was he injured now?”
Ying Liang looked at Fu Su and said," That's right. I was indeed assassinated, but I'm fine. The reason why I asked Zhang Han to say that was to 'fish.'”
Fu Su was Great Qin's eldest son, after all. Seeing that Ying Liang was fine, he calmed down and asked,""Fishing?"
"That's right, the assassins this time should be anti-Qin people.”Ying Liang poured wine for Young Master Fusu and said.
"Rebel. But why did he assassinate you? Shouldn't you be assassinating me?”Fu Su asked in confusion.
"That's right. You also think that it's normal to assassinate you. However, you have to look carefully. You have the Six Sword Slaves of the Network and the Fifth Elder of the Yin-Yang School beside you.”Ying Liang looked at Fu Su and said," But I am different. I am weak and only have Zhang Han by my side. Of the two evils, I choose the lesser one, which is why these assassins came to find me.”
"But what is the assassin's purpose?”Fu Su asked.
"I'm not sure. The assassin died back then, so there was no chance to interrogate him. As for the other people in the inn, they don't know at all.”Ying Liang said.
"Could that be the reason for the reopening of Jixia Learning Palace?”Fu Su asked.
"I don't know. This assassin is very skilled in assassination. Without special training, he can't come out. This is an assassin specially used for assassination. It's not that I'm looking down on those anti-Qin people, but they can't be trained at all.”Ying Liang said.
"Then who should it be?" Fu Su pondered.
"I suspect that this assassin was trained by a noble. After all, he is too professional.”Ying Liang said.
"However, the nobles of the six Shandong countries who are still alive are all under house arrest in Xianyang. They should not have the chance to assassinate them.”said Fu Su.
Ying Liang lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying,"The nobles are not limited to the six kingdoms of Shandong.”
Fu Su seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed,""Could it be…"
"I can't say." Ying Liang shook his head.”
"How could that be? How dare he?" Fu Su was puzzled.
Ying Liang didn't reply and just continued drinking.
...
In a dark room in Xianyang, two people were talking.
"The assassination failed."
"What is it? Failed? What was going on? This was an order from that person.”
"It can't be helped, it should be because of Zhang Han. However, he had already heard that the target was heavily injured.”
"What about the assassin?"
"He was killed on the spot."
"Alright, you can go down first. Find an opportunity to continue the assassination.”
"Yes."
...
In the Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is the news from the Six Sword Slaves. Duke Xiao Yao was assassinated.”Zhao Gao immediately reported to Ying Zheng after receiving the news from the Six Sword Slaves.
Ying Zheng, who was reading the bamboo slips, stopped and asked,""How's the situation?"
"The news said that Duke Xiaoyao was heavily injured, but his life was not in danger.”Zhao Gao replied.
"Yes, you may leave." Ying Zheng continued to read the bamboo slips.
