Chapter IX Exposed Farmers

On the busy long street, two people dressed as farmers were walking among the crowd.

From time to time, they would talk to vendors on the street and buy straw ropes, grain seeds and other things needed for farming.

On the surface, the behavior of the two men was completely consistent with the behavior of farmers, and there was nothing unusual about it.

It was only when the two of them exchanged messages cautiously, almost in secret, that their true identities were revealed.

"This prince of Qin has been in a state of semi-imprisonment in Zhao as a hostage for several years. Now that he returns to Qin, he must not be able to help but come out and move around. As expected, our previous judgment was correct."

The speaker is of medium build and his brown clothes are patched.

On the head is a worn-out bamboo hat, covering his face in the shadows, only revealing his lower jaw covered with a short green beard.

The other man was dressed the same as him, except that he did not wear a hat, revealing a face of about forty years old, with skin that was darkened by the sun and eyes that were cloudy.

In Xianyang City, most of the people wearing this kind of clothing are farmers from nearby Xianyang, who occasionally come to the city to buy and sell their daily necessities.

As the two of them walked forward, they would occasionally glance at Zhao Huaizhong, who was dozens of steps ahead, and then immediately look away again.

They sometimes walked across to nearby neighborhoods and did not follow Zhao Huaizhong all the time, appearing extremely cautious.

It was also because of this kind of caution that they felt very calm and determined that Zhao Huaizhong and his party would not find any trace.

At this time, they fell far behind, watching Zhao Huaizhong and others walk into a narrow alley and escape from the noisy main street.

The two had a tacit understanding and immediately stopped following and chose to continue walking on the main street until the next intersection before turning into the direction parallel to Zhao Huaizhong and others.

They used their familiarity with Xianyang to continue tracking, while ensuring their own safety without worrying about being exposed.

"If we were assassins and launched a sudden attack, the Prince of Qin's personal bodyguards might not be able to guarantee his safety." The man wearing a bamboo hat whispered.

"When he came out of the Qin Palace, there were no less than dozens of good soldiers accompanying him, and the protection was very thorough."

The other person looked around, but saw that on both sides of the road was the outer wall of a mansion, and the building on the other side was not high, and there was no one near or far. It gradually became quiet, so he relaxed and communicated with his companions.

The farmer wearing a bamboo hat suddenly showed a sinister smile: "How confident do you think we can kill the Crown Prince of Qin if we attempt an assassination?"

The farmer who was not wearing a hat was a little surprised by his companion's intention to take action: "Even if we succeed, we can't evacuate.

This is Xianyang, Qin Palace, Ye Yu Mansion, and Taiwei Mansion are all nearby, do you want to die?"

He added: "The superiors only require us to grasp the target's traces. If we really want to take action, it won't be our turn."

The farmer wearing a bamboo hat licked his lips: "Are you afraid?

If he hides in the dark, strikes suddenly enough, and attacks with a long-distance bow and crossbow, there is at least a 50% chance that he can be killed."

"The Qin people are cruel and attack everywhere. In the battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of Zhao people were slaughtered. I wish I could drown the prince of Qin with my own hands and sacrifice for the hundreds of thousands of innocent souls of Zhao."

"Then you should keep the prince of Qin. He was a hostage in our country when he was young. He has become a waste. If he becomes the leader of Qin in the future, he will be a fool and a king who will subjugate the country. He will be the same as me.

Zhao only has benefits.

If you take action, the Qin army will be so sharp that they will not be easy to fight with.

Moreover, the city is extremely strictly controlled, and you cannot bring in bows and crossbows."

"It turns out you two are from Zhao..."

Just as the two were arguing in low voices, a voice suddenly sounded near them.

The two of them looked up in shock and saw a woman squatting on the high wall on the side of the street, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

The woman was condescending, looking down at the two of them, her cold triangular eyes full of sarcasm and murderous intent.

The next moment, the woman jumped down, like an eagle hunting a rabbit, her body was still in the air, and her feet were already kicked out alternately like flowers.

Every kick is like a heavy hammer, the sound is deafening in the air.

Bang bang bang!

The two farmers reacted very quickly and both took action to resist.

However, when their attention was attracted by the woman who jumped out of thin air, the brick wall beside them suddenly exploded, and a pair of fists shot out from behind the wall, hitting the two of them with devastating force.

Click!

Amidst the crisp sound of bone cracking, the two men choked with blood. Their bodies were hit by a huge force, their feet lifted off the ground and they fell four to five meters away.

The woman in mid-air had not yet landed on the ground, and she screamed: "Hit!"

Two rays of golden light erupted from the tips of his fingers, stabbing the lower abdomens of the two men like sharp swords, completing the final blow.

When the two people landed, their mouths were full of blood foam and their expressions were miserable.

And they still don't know where they slipped up, but they were suddenly beaten and made prisoners.

"Wu Jia, the prince wants to arrest someone alive. Find out the origin. You almost beat the person to death. How should you explain to the prince?"

The woman who fell from the sky was Jiang Si.

She stared at the penetrated wall with an angry look on her face.

A strong man with a stern face jumped out from behind the wall and said: "I know in my heart that these two people have practiced cultivation, and they will definitely not be beaten to death by my punch.

We severely injured them because we were afraid that they would disturb the Crown Prince."

This strong man is tall and broad, and the long robe outside his body has collapsed due to the force of his punches, revealing the black metal armor worn by Qin army generals.

While the two were talking, someone not far away captured the two stalkers and dragged them over.

Only then did Zhao Huaizhong appear surrounded by a group of guards.

"Although these two people were severely injured, it is better for the prince not to get close, lest they struggle to the death and surprise the prince," Wu Jia said.

He was the leader of the team that went to Handan to escort Zhao Huaizhong back. After returning, he naturally became the leader of Zhao Huaizhong's guards.

"Ask them and see who asked them to follow me." Zhao Huaizhong said.

"promise."

Wu Jia nodded and said to a subordinate beside him: "You are proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal Dharma words, and you will be the one to interrogate me."

The subordinate stepped forward and began to ask questions.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the two people who were severely injured seemed to be hypnotized and their minds were lost. They almost asked and said whatever they wanted.

Zhao Huaizhong was stunned as he watched from the side. This Dharma spell was so powerful, it was as if his mouth had been opened.

Sure enough, as introduced in the brief book, Zonghengshu is worthy of being the number one king of powerful words. He can turn a deer into a horse, blind the opponent's consciousness, and even lie in front of him.

He, the crown prince of a country, is surrounded by elite people and strange people emerge one after another.

The soldier came over shortly after to report: "Prince, these two are Zhao people's peripheral spies who have been stationed in Xianyang. They are only responsible for receiving orders. They don't know where the person who conveyed the order is, or even the identity of the other party."

"Where did they get the order?"

"Every once in a while, they will go to a fixed place to see if any orders have been passed down. The location is an alley in the north of the city. If there is a mission, there will be a mark in the alley.

They also leave marks in the alley when sending messages," the soldier said.

Wu Jia asked for instructions: "The general has Mo family experts who are good at tracking, and they may be able to dig out the people behind the scenes."

"This kind of thing is Ye Yufu's specialty. We are about to go to Ye Yufu and let them take over to investigate."

Zhao Huai felt a little excited in his heart. He had never encountered this kind of situation before traveling through time. It was fresh and exciting.

At the same time that Zhao Huaizhong had people beat up the two spies, in a high-rise building in the distance, stood Xia Si, Shan Kui, and Xia Si's subordinate, a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant.

Xia Si restrained her aura and looked through the window of the room in the direction of Zhao Huaizhong and others.

They immediately saw Zhao Huaizhong and his party setting off again.

Soon after, they arrived at the main entrance of a magnificent building, which was the prestigious and powerful department of Great Qin - Ye Yu Mansion.

At this time, Xia Si and the others also changed their positions and appeared above a wooden structure mansion, still watching from a very far distance.

Shan Kui released a cold mist-like aura that surrounded the three of them.

Their figures instantly became hazy and blurry, making them difficult to spot even during the day.

The three of them didn't wait long before they saw people gathering at the door of Ye Yu Mansion.

While Zhao Huaizhong was being protected in the middle, hundreds of Ye Yufu troops were rushing towards a certain direction in the city, full of murderous intent.

"What is the Crown Prince of Great Qin going to do? He dispatches people from Ye Yu's Mansion to make such a big noise." The middle-aged businessman frowned.

"Just follow me and take a look and you'll find out."
