"You mean the prince will go to the forest three miles outside Handan City every five days?”
In the posthouse, Lu Buwei, the envoy from the State of Qin, frowned. In front of him was a man in black with a spider tattoo on the back of his hand.
"Yes, sir. According to the information we gathered, there seems to be some kind of formation in the depths of the forest. They have tried to enter it many times, but every time, they seem to be walking on the same spot. It's not only us, but even the people of King Zhao and Lord Ping Yuan have entered it.”
Lu Buwei wasn't as angry as the others when he heard the news. Instead, his face was full of smiles.
"Formation... It seemed that the prince had found a good teacher.”
Judging from Zhao Zheng's situation, he must have taken an expert as his master after falling into the water. Every five days, he was clearly going to find his master to learn his skills.
"Let's not worry about this first. Our top priority now is to negotiate with the King of Zhao. It would be best if we can bring the prince back. Even if we can't, we have to get some benefits.”
The hatred between Qin and Zhao was far greater than that of other countries. Back then, Lord Wu 'an, Baiqi, killed 400,000 soldiers of Zhao, causing countless orphans and widows.
This hatred could not be resolved in a day or two.
Now that Zhao was weak, they needed a hostage to make Qin have scruples.
However, if the State of Zhao became strong, the first people the King of Zhao would kill would be Zhao Zheng and her daughter.
It was too dangerous to leave these two people here.
"Milord, there is another piece of news. A few days ago, someone went to Lord Pingyuan's manor to stir up trouble and injured several of Lord Pingyuan's diners. That morning, the prince was also injured by Lord Pingyuan's Zhangsun Zhaopan.”
"Oh, there's such a thing? Do you know that person's name and appearance?”
"That person's surname is Empress Le. It's said that he's a clansman of Yue Yi. After escaping from Yan Country to Zhao Country, he has been living in seclusion in that forest.”
"It seems that I have to pay a visit to this strange person there.”
"Kun, Earth River Car!"
The snow maiden, who was practicing the Wind Empress Mystic Gate, shouted out in a delicate voice. Then, she saw the ground begin to crack, and countless rocks emerged from the ground.
"Hmm, not bad. Compared to yesterday, at least the stone came out. You've improved."
Le Hou then went to the snow maiden's Earth River Vehicle and looked at the stone tip that had just emerged from the ground by two centimeters.
To be honest, Le Hou was already very surprised that he could use the Earth River Car after only a few days of learning.
The snow maiden forced a smile upon receiving the praise, then sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
Just that one attack alone had completely consumed the little bit of qi that the snow maidens had cultivated over the past few days.
"Alright, today's practice will end here. Take a rest first, then clean up the room. There are guests coming today.”
"I understand, Master. Should he take out the tea leaves that Master had treasured?”
In the snow maidens 'understanding, since he was a distinguished guest, they had to treat him with good things.
"There's no need for that. He and I are enemies, not friends. We don't need such good things to entertain him. Hmm? Speaking of the devil, he didn't expect it to come so soon. The snow maiden asked your senior brother to bring you to the exit to receive this envoy.”
Zhao Zheng, who was doing his homework in his room, was shocked when he heard that the envoy from the State of Qin had actually found this place.
Was Lu Buwei here to find him or the Queen of Entertainment? This was a question worth pondering.
Outside the forest, Lu Buwei frowned as he looked at the forest shrouded in mist.
The climate in Zhao was dry, and it was still noon. The sky was clear and cloudless. Even in the forest, there was no such thick fog, let alone in the forest.
"Sir, this is the place. After our people entered the forest, they tried all kinds of methods, but they still couldn't avoid returning to their original place.”As he spoke, the man in black who was leading the way shuddered.
Fortunately, the master of the forest did not have any killing intent. Otherwise, he only needed to make a slight move, and the person they went to investigate might very well die here.
"Startling Salamander, go ahead and take a look. Remember, if you meet your master, treat him with courtesy.”
Lu Buwei said without turning his head.
Behind him, a woman with a lithe figure, who was covered in leather and a net, slowly walked out. She wore a mask of Great Qin's army and held a pink sword in her right hand, preparing to step into the fog.
From her cold eyes, it could be seen that she did not care about what was ahead. All she needed to do was complete the mission.
After taking two steps, the Startling Salamander suddenly stopped because she saw a figure in the fog.
"Uncle Lu, long time no see!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Buwei's sharp eyes moved slightly.
"Hello, Prince."
An old man in his fifties was actually bowing to an eight-year-old child. If anyone else saw this, they would definitely be shocked.
Zhao Zheng walked out from the mist. He looked at Lu Buwei with a complicated expression, then said seriously,"
"Everyone, the teacher invites you in. Please follow me and don't go the wrong way.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked away as if she hadn't seen Lu Buwei.
Looking at Zhao Zheng's cold demeanor, Lu Buwei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he was still brooding over the incident from back then.
Zhao Zheng led them in the direction of the Moon Empress without saying a word. During the process, he did not even remind the people behind him to follow him closely.
Le Hou's formation in the forest was divided into two stages. The first stage was a maze formation, which made people walk in circles.
However, it was different at the end. If he accidentally stepped on the wrong foot, he could die.
Fortunately, Lu Buwei had only brought one person with him this time, and the other was the killer leading the way.
The other was one of Yue Ba's eight swords, the Startling Salamander.
As professionals, the only thing they cared about was Lu Buwei's safety. Nothing else could attract their attention.
After walking for about ten minutes, Zhao Zheng brought them to Le Hou's house. At this time, Le Hou was still sitting on a rock by the pool. His second disciple, the snow maiden, was sitting beside him, staring at the lake in a daze.
"Master, I've brought her here."
Zhao Zheng bowed respectfully to the Music Queen and stood at the side without saying a word. He had no intention of introducing them to the Music Queen.
"En, I'll take Junior Sister to the forest to play. I'll have a chat with this lord.”
Zhao Zheng couldn't wait to leave this place. After hearing Le Hou's words, he hurriedly led the snow maidens into the forest.
After the two of them left, Le Hou turned around and looked at Lu Xiangguo, who would be in power in the future. She said,"
"Now you can explain your purpose of coming, Lord Lu Buwei.”
