Five days later, in Yingcheng, the old capital of Chu State, the early morning mist had not completely dissipated.

The first ray of golden sunshine has just shone on the earth, and the golden crow in the eastern sky has just revealed a red edge. All things are revived and full of vitality.

More than forty miles east of Yingcheng, a dozen riders were galloping in the wilderness.

Each person is wearing light armor, carrying a sword, and wearing a different bronze mask. They have a majestic figure, a powerful aura, and a fierce aura, giving them a military style.

A few years ago, Yingcheng was the capital of Chu State. However, when the fifth joint attack on Qin failed, King Kaolie of Chu was afraid of Qin's revenge, so he moved the capital of Chu State from Yingcheng to Shouchun.

Moving the capital is something that the Chu State is already familiar with.

Since the founding of the Chu State, the capital has been moved more than once, and it has been even more frequent at the end of the Warring States Period when the cold winter has arrived. Not surprisingly, the Chu State has to move its capital once before its demise.

Although the old capital Yingcheng has suffered a lot due to the relocation of the capital, its former heritage has not completely dissipated. It is relatively luxurious compared to most cities in the Chu Kingdom, and it is one of the main sources of income for the Chu Kingdom Iron Blood Alliance.

This time, a middle-class noble in Ying City violated the bet guaranteed by the Iron-Blood Alliance, and the resistance was beyond the expectations of the Ying City Iron-Blood Alliance branch.

The account was not received, but the Yingcheng Iron Blood Alliance branch was disgraced and humiliated.

Therefore, the Yingcheng Iron Blood Alliance had to request support from the Chu State Iron Blood Alliance headquarters in Shouchun.

After hearing about this incident, the senior officials of the Iron Blood Alliance in Shouchun were very angry. After discussion, they decided to send one of the six chiefs of the headquarters to handle it personally.

There are six leaders in the Iron Blood Alliance of the Chu State, and Xian Zong, the leader of Siyue Hall, a peasant family, is one of them, and Xian Zong is also the leader among them. Although he usually focuses on the peasant family, he has a strong voice.

As one of the hall leaders who participated in the hunt for Bai Qi back then, Xian Zong's martial arts value was indeed not low. The peasant family did not know at the time that Bai Qi had taken poison that destroyed his own hard skills, and the peasant family's top combat power was basically unleashed.

After so many years, although Xian Zong's strength has not yet broken through to the level of a grandmaster, he is definitely the best among first-class masters.

In a one-on-one head-to-head battle, no one of the first-class masters in the world would dare to claim victory.

Of course, no one dares to say that we can win the battle reliably in a head-on battle, and the same cannot be said for other aspects. After all, the people who set up the trap are killers, not warriors, and what they are best at is assassination in every possible way.

Xian Zong may be able to face any Tianzi first-class killer head-on without losing, but it does not mean that he can avoid the carefully planned and sudden assassination of Tianzi first-class killer.

The most important thing is that killers do not follow the rules of the world. One-on-one does not exist. They can besieged and never singled out. In fact, farmers are also experts in using more to defeat less.

There are many farmers, and they have had a fine tradition of siege for a long time, and this fine tradition continues to this day.

In addition to Xian Zong, the other five leaders of the Iron Blood Alliance of Chu also represent the five major forces of Chu, and three of them represent the three royal families of Qu, Jing, and Zhao.

The three families in the so-called "Although Chu has three families, the Qin will be destroyed by Chu" represent the three major families of Qu, Jing, and Zhao. These three royal families are deeply rooted in Chu State, and their tentacles have spread to all aspects of Chu State.

No matter who sits on the throne of the King of Chu or who your lord is, he must rely on these three major families.

Even after the demise of the Chu State, the influence of these three major families was still considerable. Xiang Yu was able to achieve such a great influence, and these three major families were indispensable.

In addition to these three major families, there are two others, one represents the current Ling Yin Chunshengjun Huang Xie family, and the other represents the Xiang family.

Of course, just like the situation in Qin, the direct disciples and core disciples of the family disdain to participate in the specific affairs of the Iron Blood Alliance. Specific participation is either a side branch or in charge.

The person in charge of going to Yingcheng this time represented the Xiang family.

…

Rest, rest, rest...

A sharp sound broke through the air, and the crossbow arrows fired by dozens of powerful crossbows shot out from the side of the dense forest. The sudden attack shocked the people of the Iron Blood Alliance, but they did not panic.

These people are all the elites of the Iron Blood Alliance of the Chu State, and all of them are experienced warriors. The leader's strength is even more powerful than Luo Wang. An attack of this level cannot make them panic.

Clang, clang, clang...

The sound of swords being unsheathed sounded almost at the same time. The swords reflected the early morning sunlight, interweaving a dense network of swords. Most of the incoming crossbow arrows were deflected, only a few people were scratched, and no one died.

"kill!"

A deep and indifferent voice just sounded, and the Snare Killers lurking in the dense forest shot out. The leaders were Zhen Gang, Zhuan Po, and Mie Hun, followed by more than twenty Snake Killers wearing spider web black-bottomed costumes.

"Qin's lackey!"

"Kill them all!"

The leader was a tall man wearing light red light armor, a scarlet mask, and yellow eyes like tiger eyes. After recognizing the origin of the attacker, his eyes turned red and he gave the order, and then rushed forward first.

Zhen Gang, who was wearing a mask, felt uncomfortable hearing it. As if the person facing him was on the side of justice, he accelerated his speed, increased the strength in his hands by three points, and at the same time retorted coldly: "The lackey of Chu State!"

If Cheng Qiao were here, he would definitely give Zhen Gang a thumbs up and reward him afterwards.

He once watched anime, TV series and movies about the late Warring States Period, and always had a question.

Why is it that those who follow Qin are just lackeys and eagles, and those who follow the Six Kingdoms are chivalrous and heroes, and no matter how bad they are, they are still warriors?

Everyone is their own master, what's the difference?

Is it because Qin loves to invade and start wars?

This is not right. During the Warring States Period, which country did not launch wars, invade and annex other countries? Especially the long-standing Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

This is a world of great strife. There is no justice in wars between countries. They are all just for survival.

Oh, when I was weak, you beat me with great joy. Now that I am strong, I can’t fight back if I want to. If I have to fight, I will become an evil villain?

There is no such truth. This is too double standards. Double standards must be the same as in the modern West...

Maybe some people in later generations were sitting on their butts. The ancestors of the Warring States Period didn't have such double standards. They just considered things from their own standpoint, which is normal.

clang!

A huge sound of gold and iron sounded, with Zhen Gang and the leader of the Iron-Blooded Alliance as the center, a violent and violent shock wave swept out, the soil surged under their feet, and sparks kept coming out where the swords collided, both of them blushed.

In the competition, no one is willing to take a step back.

The physical power exploded with all its strength, and the internal force leaked out. The red and light blue energy surrounded the two people, their feet sank, and the surrounding two-color energy suddenly spread in all directions and turned into a fierce energy shock wave.

The powerful impact made it impossible for the experts from Luo Wang and the Iron Blood Alliance to get close.

Only Zhuan Po and Mie Hun were able to intervene in the rivalry between the two. However, at this time, Zhuan Po and Mie Hun were not free at all. The two sisters were leading the Snare Killer to strangle the warriors of the Iron Blood Alliance.

Swords are flying, chains are intertwined, dagger shadows are heavy, shapes are changing, afterimages are overlapping, the two sisters are moving at high speed, perfectly coordinated, forming one body, and the killing efficiency is extremely high.

Flowers of blood bloomed one after another, broken limbs and broken arms flew around, shrill and painful wails sounded one after another, and each Iron Blood Alliance warrior fell to the sword of the two sisters.

Coupled with the encirclement and killing by other snare killers, the warriors of the Iron Blood Alliance were lost extremely quickly, half of them were lost in just a few breaths.

The situation at the scene fell into the peripheral vision of Chief Xiang of the Iron Blood Alliance, and he suddenly felt anxious.

If he continues like this, all his close subordinates will die, and he will be in bad luck. The only solution for now is to take a chance. Only by killing the powerful enemy in front of him can he have a chance of survival.

As soon as he thought of this, Master Xiang's heart became fierce, and his defense relaxed a little. Zhen Gang's internal strength suddenly found a gap and rushed into Master Xiang's body along the long sword arm, immediately causing serious internal injuries.

However, this was exactly what Chief Xiang wanted. The internal force in his throat wrapped up the congestion that was coming up. He turned his head slightly to the side, opened his mouth wide, and spat out a blood arrow, which shot towards Zhen Gang's right eye very sinisterly.

An ordinary killer might have gotten away with it, but Zhen Gang had gone through many battles before entering the trap. After entering the trap, he learned many weird and destructive moves, and he would be on guard when he saw the enemy turn his head.

When they were in an extreme stalemate, unable to move their hands, feet or even their entire body, their mouth was indeed the best weapon to launch an attack and change the situation of the battle.

Zhen Gang's head turned sideways, and the blood arrow flew past his eyebrow bone, leaving a shallow blood mark, and the blood flowed down.

Then, taking advantage of his opponent's internal injuries and unclear internal energy, he pressed forward with surging force, causing Master Xiang to retreat, leaving two scratches on the ground with his legs.

not good!

Before he could fight for his own life, he was disappointed and missed, but Chief Xiang screamed secretly, and quickly blocked Zhen Gang's brutal and domineering slash with his sword.

With a clang, Chief Xiang, who had already been shaken to the legs and had not regained his center of gravity, was directly slashed away by a sword. His body fell heavily to the ground, with mud and grass flying, and he did not stop until he hit a big tree with a thick waist.

It fell down, and the dark green leaves fell one after another.

puff!

Chief Xiang got up from the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he also secretly praised Zhen Gang for his vigilance and strength. For a killer to be like this, it was no coincidence that the Qin State suppressed the six countries.

At this moment, a sharp and domineering dark blue sword energy slashed through the air. The force of the sword was like a stormy wave crashing on the shore, majestic and unstoppable!

Peng!

Faced with Zhen Gang's relentless pursuit, Chief Xiang had no time to spare. He could not evade, so he could only hold the knife in both hands and pour in his inner strength to resist. His face turned red under the mask, and his back hit the tree again.

Katcha!

After finally dissipating the power of the sword energy, the thick tree broke and fell to the ground with a bang. The sweetness surged in Xiang's throat again, but he was forced to hold it back because the time gained with the help of the sword energy,

Zhen Gang rushed in front of him again.

Dang Dang Dang...

The two fought for several rounds, but Xiang, who was seriously injured, finally couldn't hold on anymore. His sword was knocked away, and the thick and sharp Zhengang sword was placed on his neck.

In fact, if the blood arrow was not strong enough, the battle would have been over.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward. The greater the reward, the greater the risk. If the blood arrow hits Zhen Gang's right eye, there is a high probability that Chief Xiang will be able to kill Zhen Gang.

Not to mention killing the Luowang killers led by Huihuan Po and Miehun, at least they can buy time to escape to Ying City, and their lives will be saved.

It's a pity that the game is lost by one wrong move!

"Master Xiang, two choices, first, die."

"Second, take refuge in the trap and take refuge in Qin."

"You have some time to think about it."

Zhen Gang squinted his right eye slightly to prevent blood from dripping into his eye, his eyes were indifferent and his face was expressionless.
