The Qi and Chu parties united, and a team of more than forty people escorted five chariots forward.
The cars are all covered with black cloth, making them airtight and the things on the cars are invisible.
Their team worked in the dark and successfully found the Yin Shang Secret Palace north of Xianyang according to the secret map. After days of exploration and excavation, more than 70% of their personnel were lost.
Fortunately, I gained a lot.
The Yin Shang Secret Palace retreated underground again and disappeared, dragging some of them who had not had time to come out into the depths of the underground palace.
The moment the underground palace closed, the companions had no time to escape and ran desperately to the entrance of the underground palace, only to be dragged back by the black air that filled the underground palace. This scene became an unforgettable nightmare in everyone's mind.
At this time, the team moved forward, the atmosphere was silent, and no one spoke.
They planned to follow the order, hide the items somewhere, and then transport them away batch by batch.
"Don't go any further. If you go any further, you will enter the patrol area of Xianyang City."
The leader of the team said: "We have just executed two Qin people who met us on the night journey. We can't cause more trouble. This is the place of the Qin people."
At this moment, the scouts in front suddenly realized something was wrong.
A team quietly emerged from the darkness, and one of the black figures smashed the scout's throat with a punch, causing him to die suddenly and tragically.
The strength of this team that emerged was far superior to that of the Qi-Chu coalition, and they were all ruthless.
The two sides clashed, and the difference was huge.
Soon, the Qi-Chu coalition forces retreated under the opponent's offensive.
In the darkness, everyone in Ye Yufu formed a team of five and cooperated with each other to strangle their opponents.
They followed Zhao Huaizhong's instructions and laid out their follow-up plans. Grabbing things was only the first step, so their identities were not revealed.
During the entire process, no one even made a sound, and it was extremely fast and efficient.
People from Qi and Chu followed the mission into Xianyang. In order to keep the journey secret, there were not many people. They were attacked by the elite of Ye Yufu and were completely defeated in less than a hundred breaths.
Zhao Huaizhong, Baiyao and others stood on the puppet car to watch the battle, and found that the battle was coming to an end in an instant.
Zhao Huaizhong was bored, thought for a moment and said: "Baiyao, the people from the Six Kingdoms are increasingly interested in disrupting our country, Qin, and they often come to Xianyang to cause trouble. We should also give them some retaliation as a lesson."
Baiyao nodded and said, "I will make arrangements when I get back."
"Let's move out. It's getting late. Let's do this for today. Go back to bed. Transport those few carts of stuff back, and be careful not to let anyone discover them."
The puppet car drifted away with the wind and disappeared into the dark night.
Everyone in Ye Yu Mansion took five carts of the proceeds from the secret palace, cleaned up the traces of the battlefield, and secretly returned to the city.
————
Falling Rain Pavilion.
Lao Ai and Xi Ying were chatting happily, and the sound of Xi Ying's pursed lips and a faint smile could be heard from time to time in the hall.
Qingyang Hou Jiang Yu was anxiously waiting for the news.
Haishi has passed and the night is dark.
Places open all night like Xiao Qin Building gradually became quiet.
At this time, one of Jiang Yu's attendants came in quickly from outside.
Jiang Yu frowned immediately, and his attendants hurriedly walked. He knew something was wrong at a glance.
Sure enough, Jiang Yu's face suddenly darkened when he heard what the attendant said in his ear.
On the other side, Xiying also received a notice from her personal maid at about the same time: the proceeds excavated from the secret palace were robbed outside the city. There were traces of killing at the scene, and no one from Qi and Chu escaped.
Xiying was horrified, who did it?
Her and Jiang Yu's first thought was that the Qin people had discovered their actions... It seemed that it could only be the Qin people.
But when I think about it more carefully, I have questions.
The two of them cooperated and entered the Qin Dynasty under the name of an envoy. They acted extremely carefully, thinking that there was no possibility of leaking the information.
Including the successful excavation from the underground palace, the route and time back were kept strictly confidential. Only Xiying and Jiang Yu, as the leaders of the cooperation between the two parties, knew the overall plan, and it was decided jointly by the two.
After deciding on the route, the two stayed together for the purpose of monitoring each other.
Xiying's thoughts raced in her mind, she narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Jiang Yu.
It happened that Jiang Yu also looked over at her, his eyes serious.
Since the operation is top secret and is not open to the outside world, we will only tell Lao Ai after the matter is successful tonight.
And Lao Ai was in the sight of the two of them the whole time, and there was absolutely no way that news could be spread outside.
If something unexpected happens, Jiang Yu and Xiying, as the only insiders of the two parties, cannot help but suspect each other, and the more they think about each other, the more suspicious they become.
This is a natural thing, human nature is like this.
Even if the two of them stay together all the time, there is still room for news to spread outside.
When Zhao Huaizhong heard that the two parties were in a cooperative relationship, he made a plan to rob it secretly, poke a hole in the boat that the two parties cooperated with, and let them eat dog.
Now, the thing is lost.
The boat was on the verge of overturning.
Jiang Yu said in a deep voice: "Xi Ying, if your Yue Nu Cult dares to use your sect's power to plot against our Da Qi, do you know the consequences?"
Xiying stood up suddenly and said angrily: "It is precisely because our Yue Women's Cult does not dare to use the power of our religion to plot Da Qi, why did the Marquis take a bite first? Don't you know in your heart who did it?
No one present in our Yue Women Sect escaped, including a deputy headmaster of my sect. If we did this, would we abandon a deputy headmaster?"
What he said is as if our people are back alive... Jiang Yu said angrily: "How could you know that this is not a way for your Yue Women's Cult to get rid of suspicion?"
Xiying's heavy chest couldn't bear the anger of her master, it fluctuated violently and the undercurrent surged.
Lao Ai looked confused on the side, what's going on? He was fine just now, but he fell out whenever he wanted. It looked like he might start a fight in the next moment.
"What happened?"
"Ask him, her!"
Jiang Yu and Xiying pointed at each other and looked at each other.
"If this matter is not clarified, your Yue Women's Cult will face destruction!"
Murderous intent loomed on Jiang Yu's face. If this crucial matter was not clear, he would have to bear a heavy burden from King Qi.
The King of Qi might suspect that Jiang Yu was up to something and wanted to swallow the food.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu's whole body became cold: "Come here, arrest the people from the Yue Women's Sect. No one from the Yue Women's Sect can leave until this matter is clarified."
"Do you think this is in Daqi? Let me see who dares to take action." Xi Ying scolded.

Zhao Huaizhong returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion, washed and went to bed.
Early the next morning, he went to the palace to attend the court meeting as usual.
What happened last night, he just pretended that it never happened and didn't show any signs of it.
After attending the court meeting, Zhao Huaizhong went to Ye Yu's Mansion to sit in class and review various files.
In the evening, he Shi Ran came to Huacaoju and talked with Mu Yangjing about grafting.
Jiang Ji is also there, and dinner will be settled at Mu Yangjing's place.
When it was getting dark, Mu Yangjing's maid Zhu Xi came in from the door and handed over a greeting card: "Qi Ren Qingyang is waiting for Jiang Yu, and the Prime Minister Lao Ai has come to see you!"
Mu Yangjing looked uninterested and was about to wave her hands and say goodbye when Zhao Huaizhong thought to himself that he had finally arrived.
He guessed yesterday that Jiang Yu would come to visit Mu Yangjing today.
After all, Lao Jiang's main business in Xianyang was to help the Koreans negotiate, and Mu Yangjing was one of the people he had to visit.
"Let someone come in. I'm here to give you a gift. There's something you're interested in." Zhao Huaizhong said.
Mu Yangjing smiled, and when Zhao Huaizhong opened his mouth, the maid Zhu Xi nodded in agreement, and obediently went out to invite Jiang Yu and Lao Ai in without stopping her.
Jiang Shu blinked her dark eyes beside her and asked curiously: "You seem to have known that someone would come to visit?"
Zhao Huaizhong: "No, I can figure it out."
Jiang Shu raised her pretty chin to express disbelief.
In a moment, Jiang Yu and Lao Ai came in from the door under the guidance of Zhu Xi.
When Lao Ai saw Jiang Shu and Mu Yangjing, her eyes brightened, but then she saw Prince Zhao, and her aura suddenly plummeted.
No matter how conceited Lao Ai is, she still knows that she is no better than Zhao Huaizhong.
He didn't even dare to be tough with Zhao Huaizhong. He only had enough courage to say a few words to Zhao Huaizhong behind his back.
Meeting Zhao Huaizhong in person now is like a mouse meeting a cat.
Especially Zhao Huaizhong, who was sitting calmly in the room, actually shared a low couch with Mu Yangjing and Jiang Shu, and they were no more than three feet apart from each other.
"The relationship between Zhao Huaizhong, Mu Yangjing, and Jiang Shu is so close..."
Lao Ai felt as if she had been struck violently, with all kinds of mixed feelings.
He glanced at Mu Yangjing and Jiang Shu again, and realized that although the two women looked different in appearance and temperament, they were already stunningly beautiful wearing only ordinary clothes, far better than any other woman he had ever seen, and his heart became increasingly sad.
Lao Ai's heart was full of drama, and his thoughts were ups and downs. Jiang Yu, who came with him, did not expect to see Zhao Huaizhong here. His face lit up, he did enough etiquette, and began to trade business with Zhao Huaizhong.
Zhao Huaizhong looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Jiang Yu looks very tired. Didn't he have a rest last night?"
Lao Ai, it's your responsibility to entertain Jiang Hou. Jiang Hou doesn't have a good rest, so I'm going to blame you."
Lao Ai responded dejectedly and apologized again and again.
At this time, he no longer had the ambition to pick up Jiang Ji first and then capture Mu Yangjing when he came here. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible and never see Zhao Huaizhong again.
Jiang Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Yesterday, some small things were not handled smoothly, and I felt uneasy, so I didn't have a good rest. It has nothing to do with Lao Ai."
Zhao Huai chuckled secretly, "Just keep pretending, this is so fun."
