The capital was Xianyang.
The blazing sun hung in the sky early in the morning, bringing warmth and light to everyone walking on the streets.
After the Great Qin conquered the six countries and unified the world, many of the people from the six countries came to Xianyang to seek a way out, injecting new blood into the heart of the empire.
The streets were bustling with noise. Even though the atmosphere in the city was getting more and more tense because of the approaching ceremony, it did not affect the vitality of the imperial capital.
Mo Family's Ju Zi sat in front of a simple and unadorned desk. He did not sleep for the entire night. On the desk were all the letters that the Mo Family had sent back to the city.
Tomorrow was the day of the tyrant's sacrificial ceremony. The operation that had been prepared for a long time could not be ruined on the eve of the execution!
The familiar handwriting on the parchment calmed him down a little.
The places that the tyrant passed by tomorrow were all set up with exquisite mechanisms. When he relaxed, he would be able to win by surprise.
On the other hand, he had been in Xianyang for many years and had quite a number of disciples in the palace. When the time came, he would be able to achieve great things.
……
In a quiet courtyard in Xianyang City.
There were strong young men dressed in short clothes, and beside them were many clothes that farmers often wore, as well as hoes and carrying poles.
The head of the Lie Mountain Hall, Tian Meng, was standing on the steps with a serious expression.
"Disciples and colleagues, the violent Qin Dynasty has invaded the six countries and the people are in dire straits. Now, they want to destroy the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and destroy the minds of the people!”Tian Meng's voice wasn't loud, but it was steady and firm.
"Now that things have come to this, if we want to destroy the Violent Qin and rebuild a bright and peaceful world, we must first kill the tyrant Ying Zheng.”
"Yes!"
"Disciple will not refuse!"
"A real man is born in this world and should achieve such a career!”
Hearing the farmer disciple's impassioned reply, Tian Meng couldn't help but nod his head and smile.
He had come not only to boost morale, but also to ensure the safety of these hidden posts.
After all, if there were fewer people, it meant that his group had been discovered by the imperial court. Then, this operation would be disastrous!
However, what Juzi and Tian Meng didn't know was that their hopes would be completely shattered tonight.
……
Dusk, Fourth Young Master Manor.
Ying Ziyan was dressed in a luxurious robe with black and red borders, and he wore a high crown on his head, allowing the ceremonial officials sent by the palace to do whatever they wanted to him.
As the imperial family of the empire and the fourth son of the First Emperor, Ying Ziyan naturally had to play an important role in the sacrificial ceremony. According to the etiquette system, a solemn and appropriate attire was essential.
However, as if he had sensed something, Ying Ziyan waved his hand at the busy ceremonial officer.
"I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. If Mister is almost done with his work, then you should go back and rest early. I won't keep everyone in the residence for dinner.”
The ceremonial officer, who was adjusting the clothes, raised his head in confusion. He met Ying Ziyan's unquestionable eyes.
"Then this humble subject will take his leave first.”After the ceremonial officer finished speaking, he bowed and left in a hurry.
As soon as the ceremonial officer left, Mo Ya walked out from the shadows of the room and knelt on the ground.
"Reporting to the Underworld Lord, the peasant family, the Mohist family, and even all the bases of the rebels have been investigated.”
"Once the sky gets dark, start working. Remember to be clean and don't let the fish know.”Ying Ziyan looked out the window and saw the setting sun as red as blood. A murderous intent surged into his heart.
"I will obey the orders of the Underworld Lord."
Before he could finish his sentence, Mo Ya disappeared from the mansion. He was accompanied by a hundred bird scouts lurking in Xianyang City.
Birds chirped and people died.
……
It was night!
In a secluded courtyard, the disciples of the farmers who had infiltrated Xianyang were training.
Tomorrow would be the day for them to show off their skills. Today, they had to exercise their fists and legs well.
If he could succeed, his name would definitely be left in history.
However, what they did not know was that their lives would not last that long.
On the wall, black figures were looming like ghosts.
Under the moonlight, their eyes were as sharp as birds of prey.
It was already midnight!
A gust of cold wind swept up, and dozens of black shadows swept toward the farmer's foothold like lightning.
Before the night watchers could see what was in front of them, their throats were cut by cold blades. They wanted to open their mouths to shout, but they found that they could no longer make a sound.
This was a hundred birds, moving like the wind and moving like thunder!
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was unpredictable.
Black shadows shuttled between the farm disciples in the courtyard, and there was no lack of experts among them who could react.
Unfortunately, being able to react and being able to resist were two different things in many cases.
Blade shadows streaked across like lightning, leaving behind only warm corpses.
The moonlight was cold.
……
At this moment, in another corner of Xianyang City.
The Mo Family's hidden forces, apart from the spies in the palace, were all gathered here.
They received a warrant from Ju Zi, saying that he had something important to discuss.
"We agreed on Hai Shi, but since when did Ju Zi start to be unpunctual?”The few people in the lead complained. They were still adjusting the machinery for tomorrow's operation. Time was very precious.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a gust of cold wind blew. Dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the light became a little dim.
"Coo!"
With a soft bird cry, black shadows rushed out from the surroundings like a gust of wind. They were like sharp swords that had been unsheathed and shot straight at the Mo family members who were still unaware.
"Peng!"
Every sound of metal piercing into flesh signified the end of a Mo Family disciple's life.
The assassins of Hundred Birds held sharp blades in their hands, like hungry wolves charging into a flock of sheep. They did not have any fancy moves or unnecessary movements. All their techniques could only be described with one word: Fast, accurate, ruthless.
He stabbed out with his saber, wanting to seal his throat!
The disciples of the Mo Family did not wait for Ju Zi to appear.
Ju Zi didn't write any warrant for them at all.
What they had been waiting for was a one-sided and cruel purge by the Hundred Birds Organization.
A moment later, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight once again enveloped the land.
The pale moonlight shone on the Mo Family disciple's pupils that could not be closed, making him look exceptionally cold.
The black shadows had long disappeared.
……
Stargazing Tower.
East Emperor Taiyi watched as the last star in the night sky disappeared. No one knew what expression he had under the mask.
"Looks like something terrible happened tonight.”
