Chapter 17: The Network Assassinated Ying Zilong, But Was Schemed Against
"Do you think Zhao Gao will really ambush us on the way?”
Ying Zilong sat in the carriage with his back bent and his right hand supporting his chin. He looked depressed.
He thought that Zhao Gao would ambush and kill him on the way, but he didn't find anyone following him.
They had already reached Hangu Pass, but there was still no movement at all.
It was too frightening.
Ying Zilong wished he could return to Zhao Gao's residence and kill him in the middle of the night so that he could complete the system's mission quickly.
Startling Salamander and Tian Yan were both very surprised.
When others heard that they were being targeted, they were all terrified.
Only the person in front of him had a look of anticipation and was even very anxious.
If he hadn't been ambushed, he would probably have felt very depressed.
The Startling Salamander's expression was calm as he said seriously,"
"With my understanding of Zhao Gao, he must have already made his move. You are the Crown Prince of Great Qin, so he won't dare to act within the Great Qin Country. Once you leave the Great Qin Country, we will be in danger.”
"I hope it's as you said."
Ying Zilong sighed. He raised his left hand and gently placed it on the Startling Salamander's hand.
The Startling Salamander's entire body trembled, and it was instantly petrified. Its eyes widened.
Ying Zilong quickly raised his hand and said apologetically,"
"I'm sorry. I touched the wrong person with my right hand.”
Tian Yan couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
Suddenly, Ying Zilong's expression turned serious.
Startling Salamander frowned:
"What happened?"
A cold smile appeared on Ying Zilong's face."You're right. After leaving the State of Qin, Zhao Gao indeed had an ambush.”
Startling Salamander and Tian Yan were so scared that their faces turned pale.
It was because he had stayed in the net before that he knew how terrifying it was.
Ying Zilong was powerful.
But the Network was best at assassinations.
No matter how strong you were, you would feel a headache when faced with an assassination.
Assassination was every powerhouse's nightmare.
Tian Yan was slightly panicked.
"Why don't we…go back?"
"Go back? Are you kidding me?"
" Zhao Gao?" Ying Zilong's eyes widened." It wasn't easy to get Zhao Gao. How can we go back so easily?"”
……
"We are still 500 meters away from their ambush point.”
……
"We're still a hundred meters away from their ambush point.”
……
"We are still fifty meters away from their ambush point.”
……
"We're ready. We're about to reach their ambush location.”
During the last mile of the journey, Startling Salamander and Tian Yan were scared witless by Ying Zilong.
If they didn't know that there was an ambush ahead, they wouldn't have been too nervous.
However, despite knowing that there was an ambush ahead, he had walked into the enemy's trap step by step.
The mental pressure that this gave people was extremely great.
However, Ying Zilong had a playful smile on his face."
"Stop the car. There's a trap ahead."
……
The luxurious carriage was traveling in a valley.
Strangely, the carriage did not have a coachman.
The horse drove the carriage forward alone.
The surroundings were filled with dense forests.
From time to time, the sound of orioles singing could be heard.
There were tall mountains and trees on both sides, and there was only one road in the middle.
It was an ideal ambush spot.
When the carriage reached a patch of grass, the horse suddenly stopped.
On the surrounding trees, there were assassins with black armor masks hidden one after another.
These killers held their breaths and focused their attention on the carriage on the road.
They would wait for the carriage to fall into the trap on the lawn in front of them, and then they would launch a fierce attack.
However, the carriage suddenly stopped before it stepped into the trap.
Every black-armored assassin became nervous.
Zhao Gao was standing behind an extremely hidden tree.
His expression became even gloomier.
Several assassins around him turned their eyes to Zhao Gao, waiting for his instructions.
Zhao Gao's right hand was holding the tree trunk, and his index finger was tapping at a high frequency.
At this moment, he was deep in thought.
"Zhao Gao, you're already here. Why haven't you made a move yet?”
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out between heaven and earth.
Zhao Gao was shocked.
He knew that his actions had been seen through.
"Attack!"
He shouted coldly.
The network assassins hiding behind the tree trunks all took out their crossbows and aimed them at the carriage, releasing dense arrows.
The carriage was made of steel.
When the arrows hit the carriage, they were all bounced back.
Occasionally, a few arrows would shoot at the horses, but they would be intercepted by an inexplicable force.
"Arrows are useless. Everyone, charge forward together.”
Zhao Gao ordered.
Dozens of assassins jumped down from the trees.
With a sharp blade in his hand, he charged toward Ying Zilong's carriage.
Zhao Gao didn't rush forward. Instead, he landed not far away from the carriage.
He spread his arms and smiled coldly. His arrogant laughter spread throughout the entire forest.
"Hahahaha, Ying Zilong, although you're strong, we have the advantage in numbers. With so many top-notch assassins killing you, I don't believe we can't kill you today.”
……
In the carriage.
Startled Salamander and Tian Yan were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
The Startling Salamander pulled out the Startling Salamander Sword from Tian Yan's waist."
"I'll go out and fight it out with them."
Ying Zilong grabbed the Startling Salamander and pulled it hard. The Startling Salamander turned around and sat on Ying Zilong's thigh.
Ying Zilong and Startling Salamander were both embarrassed.
"Uh…that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that you don't have to go out.”
Shocking Salamander stood up shyly, but his eyes were filled with confusion. He didn't know what Ying Zilong meant.
Ying Zilong's eyes hardened, and he released a domineering aura.
The area within a radius of several hundred meters instantly turned gray.
Just as the Startling Salamander stood up, it suddenly felt dizzy and sat on Ying Zilong's lap again.
Tian Yan was so dizzy that her slender jade-like finger touched her forehead, and she could not help but tremble.
The Startling Salamander seemed to have understood something. Its eyes were filled with horror as it stared at Ying Zilong. It was both angry and amused.
Coincidentally, Ying Zilong's gaze landed on the Startling Salamander's line of sight and they exchanged a glance.
Seeing the Startling Salamander's extremely unfriendly and tender eyes, he felt very embarrassed.
These days, he had been using the Conqueror's Color on her, and it was really too embarrassing.
……
Dozens of killers from the Network charged toward Ying Zilong's carriage like a flood.
Suddenly, the world changed color and turned dark.
Most of the assassins fell to the ground in an instant.
Only Zhao Gao, Xuan Jian, and the Six Sword Slaves were left.
Zhao Gao originally wanted to kill Ying Zilong with the advantage of numbers.
He never thought that he would die before he could defeat the enemy.
Before the army could even see Ying Zilong, all of them had fallen.
At this moment, Zhao Gao opened his arms and raised his head, laughing wildly.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He stared at Ying Zilong's carriage with trembling eyes.
"How is that possible? How is this possible?"
At this moment, an awkward voice came from the carriage."
"Alright, stop staring at me. Go out and fight.”
