Early morning, among the mountains!
After a night of rapid marching, Wang Li's armored soldiers had arrived at the heart of the mountain.
The sun slowly rose, and the golden light pierced through the darkness, adding some warmth to the frozen mountains.
Right now, in front of Wang Li and the army was an open space. Unlike the dirt road from before, this open space was actually made of a whole piece of limestone.
There was a bold and powerful "ink" character on the stone slab, reminding everyone who wrote it.
Behind the empty space was a bridge hanging on the cliff.
This bridge was not very wide, and it seemed that it could only accommodate two people at the same time.
On both sides of the bridge were waterfalls. The source of the waterfall was so high that it could not be seen clearly. It was like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky.
Beneath the bridge was a bottomless abyss, and only the faint light of water could be seen.
What an unworldly place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack!
Just as Wang Li was fretting, a figure appeared from the mountains.
......
Imperial City, Xianyang!
In an ordinary room in an ordinary inn.
A man in a black robe sat at the table with an urgent secret report in his hand.
"The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin, you all should get into your positions quickly. I will also head to Xianyang and take Ying Zheng's head!”
The handwriting on the secret report was very sloppy, and it indeed had some strength of character.
This secret message was personally sent to Xianyang by Mo Zi and Yan Dan, and it was given to the Mo Family's secret forces in Xianyang.
Every one of the spies in this operation had been strictly trained by the Mo Family. They were top-notch experts and one of the strongest single-target combat forces of the Mo Family. Whether it was spying or fighting, they could be said to be first-class existences in China.
At the same time, there was another force in the streets of Xianyang City.
The people dressed like farmers were just moving through the crowd, not having the slightest intention of buying or selling.
As there were too many farmers selling grain and livestock in Xianyang City, the guards were already used to it and did not want to ask more questions when they saw the farmers on the streets.
However, these people were not, and could not be, real farmers.
They were the disciples of the Nong Family, and they had risked their lives to enter the heart of the Great Qin Empire for only one reason.
Assassinate Qin!
Other than the two groups of people above, the hidden forces of the various major forces had already swarmed in. Perhaps street performers, fish killers, and silk sellers would all be among them.
The heart of the Great Qin Empire became a dark forest under the surging of the hidden pillars.
However, these experts did not know that their actions had already been known by an even smarter existence.
......
Fourth Young Master's Residence!
Ying Ziyan sat in the main hall. These few days, he didn't have time to play the zither or fish like before.
After all, after Great Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the sea, it had not held many sacrificial ceremonies. Ying Ziyan had to spend a lot of effort to arrange this.
The decoration of the palace was still mysterious in this dynasty, but if it was dark all over on the day of the ceremony, it would probably not look good.
On the other hand, what about the ritual of sacrifice? Or was it the old system of Qin?
Of course, Ying Ziyan only needed to look over all of this. There were naturally people who would make specific arrangements.
What he was most concerned about now was the assassination that was bound to happen during the ceremony.
It wasn't that he didn't have confidence. It was just that confidence and conceit were two different things.
In addition, Ying Ziyan's goal wasn't just to prevent any accidents from happening, to stop the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the remnants of the Six Nations from assassinating the First Emperor.
What he wanted was an opportunity to severely injure these traitors and even exterminate them!
Just as Ying Ziyan was reading the bamboo slips, Mo Ya bowed and walked into the hall, skillfully kneeling in front of Ying Ziyan.
" Reporting to the Lord of the Underworld, Bai Niao has received news that the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the remnants of the Six Nations have been moving in Xianyang City. I wonder what the Lord of the Underworld thinks and whether we should take them down one by one."”
Mo Ya's tone revealed an unconcealable excitement. This was the first time he had the opportunity to kill in front of his master, and it was also a chance to prove himself after the last time he failed.
However, Ying Ziyan's response shattered his short-lived fantasy.
"Let's not do anything for the time being. Let Bai Niao find out the appearance and address of these rebels, but don't let them notice.”Ying Ziyan said indifferently, his tone filled with disdain."Let these idiots think that they are good for themselves for a while. When they are finally caught in one fell swoop, they should know that they are just grasshoppers after autumn.”
When Mo Ya heard this answer, he was slightly unhappy. However, he had no choice but to obey the orders of this powerful man in front of him.
"I will obey your orders."
......
It was night!
The moon was bright and the stars were few. The crows and magpies flew south.
As the ceremony was approaching, Xianyang City imposed an extremely strict curfew.
On the streets, there were guards patrolling everywhere with torches lit. If they saw anyone walking around, they would definitely go up and draw their swords to interrogate them. If there was anything suspicious, they would be brought back to the yamen for interrogation.
At the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city did their best to interrogate the people who entered the city. If there were any who stammered and could not explain, they could be executed on the spot without bringing them back.
During special times, special methods were inevitable.
However, even under such strict control, there were still people who could bypass the eyes and ears of the court and escape into the city.
Yan Dan, the giant of the Mo Family, was definitely one of them.
In the dark night, a black shadow stepped on the towering walls of Xianyang and stepped onto the city tower as if it was flat ground. It instantly knocked out the soldiers on duty and hid in the shadows as it entered the capital.
He had already left behind a solution to deal with the matters at the City of Traps. In addition, the commander of the Mo family had also stayed there to deal with matters, so he could be at ease.
Mo Zi had to come, even if he didn't want to.
Because the Mo Family's magnate Yan Dan knew that even if the Mo Family managed to defend the City of Traps this time, it would only be once.
As long as the Violent Qin continued to exist in this world, this terrifying dragon would continue to roar and attack the Hundred Schools of Philosophy until they were all destroyed.
There was only one way to protect himself, the Mo Family, and even the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the Six Nations.
Destroy Qin.
If you want to destroy the State of Qin, you have to assassinate the emperor first.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, usually lived in the depths of the palace and was heavily guarded. It was almost impossible for him to enter the palace to assassinate someone.
With the opening of the sacrificial ceremony and the influx of various forces into Xianyang, it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity again!
As he thought about this, Mo Zi walked to the end of a dead end. On both sides were abandoned houses that were sealed off.
According to the agreement, the person who came to pick him up should have arrived.
After a while, a man dressed like a farmer jumped out of the window of the abandoned house. He looked around warily and only spoke after making sure that there was no one around.
"Finally, the Mo family's giant has arrived. Please enter the house. The situation is urgent. Please discuss it with Xia Kui.”
