Bang!

The long sword fell to the ground, and a man in brocade clothes was thrown out casually. When it hit the ground, a cloud of dust suddenly appeared. His body was hunched on the ground, curled up like a dead dog. The intense pain caused the man's body to twitch continuously.

It looked like he was inhaling far less air than he was breathing out.

That look is exactly what it would be like after a life force has been drained of all its energy.

One side.

Zhao Gao tied his hands in his sleeves and glanced indifferently before continuing to lower his head and look at his feet. It seemed that everything that had just happened was nothing but an illusion.

Ying Zheng, who was wearing a black robe, opened his right hand, and there was a piece of clothes in his palm. Soon, the clothes turned into powder in his palm and was blown away. His eyes were lost in the trembling on the ground.

Ying Zheng waved his hand casually, signaling to drag him down, and then said: "There are always people in this world who can't figure it out and choose a dead end."

"..."

Zhao Gao still stood respectfully in the corner and did not express any opinions. As the person closest to the emperor, he had already roughly known the other person's character over the years, so there was no room for him to interrupt just now.

That's just the emperor's soliloquy.

The master who just died at the hands of Ying Zheng was a small harvest from their eastward tour. He was a master from a peasant family. After being captured by the Six Sword Slaves, he was sent to Ying Zheng for interrogation. Unfortunately, this peasant family

The disciples regard death as home.

Ying Zheng gave the opponent a chance to attack with all his strength, but unfortunately it was just a mantis acting as a chariot, and all his skills were directly absorbed by Ying Zheng.

After wiping his hands with silk, Ying Zheng suddenly said: "Where did you say the mirage is now?" Although he is the emperor of a country, in fact it is basically impossible for an emperor to travel through this beautiful country.

Even though Ying Zheng is not the kind of house emperor who is locked away in the palace, he still doesn't know much about the outside world. In his eyes, what he sees more often is the depiction that appears on the map. Perhaps

, in his life, what really made him understand the world was when Zhao was a hostage. Apart from domestic and foreign countries, the other people he knew more about were the enemies of the empire, the Huns from the north.

As for the place to cross east...

In his impression, it was probably the place closest to the rising sun, because in Donghuang's words, the phoenix seemed to stay in that place.

Ying Zheng didn't know how long it would take for the mirage to cross eastward, so he could only make an irresponsible guess in his mind.

His question left Zhao Gao in a daze for a moment.

How to answer this?

He doesn’t know either!

If he boarded the mirage, knew the correct location of Phoenix, and knew the situation at sea, then Zhao Gao would still be able to give the corresponding answer, but right now... his network organization can be called the most rigorous organization in the world, and he knows countless things.

There are people in Mirage and Yin Yang's family who have snares, but they can only be dumbfounded before this question.

Not to mention the strictness of the Yin-Yang family, even if the Yin-Yang family is lax, the undercover agents staying in the mirage cannot return the news.

However, Ying Zheng obviously did not think that Zhao Gao could give him a satisfactory answer. He was very aware of Zhao Gao's embarrassment. He could not give an accurate answer. At most, it was just a private speculation. This question was more for himself.

of.

"I think that Phoenix is ​​dead!"

"Perhaps the mirage is already on its way back."

Mirage.

The alchemy room that Yun Zhongjun is in charge of.

Countless disciples of the Yin Yang family are busy working one after another, and all kinds of precious medicines are being taken out one after another. The Phoenix corpse that was originally brought here has long been artificially decomposed.

Everything on the Phoenix has been made into alchemy materials.

"The mythical beast... is also poisonous?"

"Is this just for people or..."

Standing in front of the huge alchemy furnace, Yun Zhongjun ignored the huge heat and his face turned red. He was staring down at the center of the alchemy furnace. He watched the disciples divide the countless materials into batches and order them one by one.

Get involved little by little.

The reason why I say this is that there was a problem before, which almost led to a big mistake.

Yun Zhongjun always thought that everything on the divine beast was a treasure of genius, and nothing could be wasted. However, he never expected that some of the things on the divine beast were extremely poisonous. Some of the disciples responsible for dissecting the phoenix died immediately.

Half of it.

This sudden result forced Yun Zhongjun to slow down his alchemy process.

For this reason, he went to see Lord Donghuang and reported the situation. In the next few days, Yun Zhongjun was busy completely separating the poisonous and non-toxic parts of the Phoenix. Immortality elixir. Naturally.

It cannot be poisonous.

only

As if he remembered something, Yun Zhongjun couldn't help but raise his brows. In his mind, Yun Zhongjun thought of the current appearance of Lord Donghuang. The image of a young man always made Yun Zhongjun feel that Lord Donghuang seemed to have something to do with him.

Something is missing.

No!

Shaking his head, Yun Zhongjun denied this idea again.

How could he have the idea of ​​doubting Lord Donghuang? Could it be because of Lord Xinghun’s matter?

Although he and Master Xinghun had cooperated before, their relationship was not very harmonious. They were just fighting for power and profit based on what they needed. In Yun Zhongjun's eyes, the actions of Yueshen and others really made him

Sometimes I beg to differ.

He wants to go higher, go further, and express himself more in front of Lord Donghuang.

"..."

Frowning his brows, Yun Zhongjun wondered why he suddenly had such thoughts recently. Is it because he has been too tired recently? Or was he influenced by something?

His eyes moved and stopped on the decomposed remains of the phoenix... After looking at them for a long time, he withdrew his gaze.

"It seems that we need to speed up and refine the elixir before the mirage returns."

After muttering to himself, Yun Zhongjun began to command his disciples again: "However, those poisonous ones can also be refined into a poison pill. By then, this poison pill will probably be the only poison with no cure in the world.

Already."

In order not to waste anything on Phoenix, even the poison was transferred to a place of great use by Yun Zhongjun.

The decision was made, and then Yun Zhongjun concentrated his energy on this.

Time passed quickly.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the mirage was also relatively close to the shore.

However, due to other reasons, the mirage that came out of Songhai City deviated from the corresponding channel due to the impact of the hurricane when it returned. The return destination was a bit far from the mirage. But when the mirage docked

, Yingzheng’s eastward tour also came to Mount Tai, one of his destinations.

He wants to be enshrined here.

Yue Yuan, who was in the mirage, couldn't help but be surprised after hearing the news.

Not to mention Ying Zheng's big move in Mount Tai, everyone else also made their own preparations at this moment.

For example, Zhang Liang, the third leader of Confucianism.

He did not follow Ying Zheng to Mount Tai. Instead, he was studying Ying Zheng's entire route with others. Along the way, Zhang Liang had sent many Confucian disciples to explore the terrain along the road. If Confucian disciples alone were

I'm afraid I still can't achieve what Zhang Liangzhong wants, but there are many people in the world who have anti-Qin thoughts. They all have a common enemy and can naturally become allies and cooperate.

Just a few days ago, Zhang Liang had received the news from the Mo family that had been sealed for several days.

The snow girl returned seriously injured.

She brings the most despairing news.

The previous assassination attempt initiated by Wei Zhuang and others ended in a disastrous failure. It is said that Wei Zhuang, Gai Nie and others were seriously injured, and Gao Jianli died tragically. Everyone dispersed and fled in the middle, and the Mo family suffered a second major loss inside.

He attacked Qin twice and suffered heavy losses twice.

The first person who died was Jing Ke, and the second person who died was Gao Jianli.

Such a result is undoubtedly a great loss to the Mohist family. The only difference is that this time there is someone accompanying him, who is the gathering and dispersing quicksand.

If Yan Lu, the second leader, was still there, Zhang Liang might not be like this, but now... recalling the previous conversation with Fu Nian, Zhang Liang has already made such a decision, even Fu Nian, who puts Confucianism first

Denial, this shows how much influence Yan Lu's incident has.

The hatred of the country and the family, when everything comes together, as a man of serious plans, this is really an opportunity.

He, Zhang Liang, wanted to carry out the third assassination.

After a careful analysis, Zhang Liang selected several locations as backup.

The first place name among them is a place called Bolangsha.

Now... all Zhang Liang needs to do is to go to these places to inspect the terrain in person. There are examples of Jing Ke and Gao Jianli's failure to assassinate Qin. At least in his mind, even if the assassination cannot be successful this third time, he will not be trapped.

In a desperate situation, at least there is certainty of escape.

Let's talk about the examples of Jing Ke and Gao Jianli. Since frontal assassination and sneak attacks by masters are not effective, what other methods should be used?
To be continued...
