In a house not far from Tingwei's Mansion, Lao Ai wiped the sun-hiding sword in his hand, his face uncertain, and he instinctively sensed a danger.
Previously, he used the Xianyang Luowang Department as a pledge of surrender, thinking of seeking refuge with the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and using this to provoke an alliance between Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, and he could become Zhao Ji in the broken relationship between Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei.
Ji's method to check and balance Lu Buwei.
In this process, his status can rise. With the support of Queen Mother Zhao Ji, he can become Lu Buwei's second, or even replace him.
This was his plan, and it was a good plan, and Lao Ai didn't think there was any possibility of the plan failing.
However, something happened to this plan that was thought to be going smoothly, and it happened in the first step of the plan.
His certificate of surrender had just been delivered to Xingle Palace, but it did not fall into the hands of Queen Mother Zhao Ji, but fell into the hands of Qin Wangzheng.
And everything changed at that time. From then on, besides Lu Buwei, there was another master in his head, and that was Qin Wangzheng.
Later, the snare penetrated into the palace of the courtiers, and later, Lord Changping was discovered.
Before that, Lao Ai just thought that the young King Qin wanted to control the movements of the courtiers. But when Lord Changping entered the situation, Lao Ai realized that it seemed that his thinking was too simple.
until today.
Lao Ai finally realized where the uneasiness that had always existed in her heart came from.
"I didn't expect that the person who came to visit me would be you, an old friend." Lao Ai put down the silk in her hand that was used to wipe the sun concealing sword, stood up and looked towards the courtyard door.
There, a woman appeared.
"Let this old friend of mine take you on your way, and you can rest in peace." Duanshui said coldly.
The former Xianyang Gongzheng has now completely regained its former feeling.
"But, I am not willing to do so." Lao Ai said coldly, holding her sword.
"That's what every dying person says," Duanshui said.
"You have to fight once. Although I am not a killer, I think my swordsmanship is pretty good, so I may not be your opponent." Lao Ai said, straightening the sword and stabbing Duanshui.
In front of Duan Shui, it was no longer the stabbing sword, but darkness shrouding him.
The murderous intent of the Sun Covering Sword has reached its peak under Lao Ai's urging, but this is nothing in front of Duan Shui. The Shui Duan Sword can not only cut off water.
A sword roar enveloped the courtyard, and a faint water mark was drawn. Then the water mark expanded, and there seemed to be the sound of flowing water. Amidst the sound of gurgling water, all the darkness was wiped away.
Zheng.
Although Lao Ai was holding a heavy sword, she couldn't help but step back.
But this setback is not enough to make Lao Ai timid, he has to fight hard.
In an instant, in the small courtyard, the intertwined afterimages of Lao Ai and Duanshui had disappeared.
From time to time, sword energy burst out from the fight between the two, leaving deep sword marks on the ground and the wall.
As the two of them fought, Lao Ai gradually fell into a disadvantage, her body kept retreating, and she would soon retreat into the room.
"Broken Water." Following a soft shout, the Shuishui Sword slashed vertically.
At this time, the water-breaking sword was no longer breaking water, but the river. At that moment, Lao Ai saw that it was no longer a sharp sword that blew hair and cut off hair, but the river rushing towards her.
Lao Ai reluctantly raised his sword to block it, but under the hands of the woman Duan Shui, the man Lao Ai turned into a little woman. He was instantly flown out and crashed into the screen of the room.
Duanshui saw this and jumped into the room. However, the moment he landed, his feet were empty and the person had disappeared above the surface of the floor.
"Although martial arts is good, the brain is more useful." Seeing this, Lao Ai turned around and ran away to the back of the room, where there was the horse he had reserved.
When Duanshui rushed out of the trap, there was no trace of Lao Ai in the room.
"Did you escape?" Duan Shui observed the room, but had no intention of pursuing Lao Ai. Gu Yi
Instead, he paused for a moment and then chased in the direction where Lao Ai escaped.
······
In Xingle Palace.
Duanshui, who had returned without success, walked into the hall calmly, without any fear of failure in his mission.
"Is the mission completed?" In front of Duan Shui, a Jing Salamander dressed in palace clothes asked.
"Yes, Zhenri has fled towards the direction of Chang'an Lord's residence." Duanshui replied.
"You did a good job." Frightened Salamander nodded.
"You don't have to stay in Xianyang. Go to Xinzheng. You will be in charge of the Luo Sheng Department there..." Jing salamander thought for a while and said to Duanshui,
"Thank you, beautiful salamander." Duanshui said with a bit of joy.
She can finally bid farewell to her career as a killer. Although Xinzheng is the capital of South Korea, it is the most suitable place for retirement.
Because South Korea itself is relatively weak, Luo Wang's investment in Xinzheng will naturally not be too much, and Luo Wang's presence in Xinzheng is also extremely low, so there will be no dangerous missions at all.
"Here is a house deed. After you arrive in Xinzheng, if a girl named Zi Nu comes to buy a house, no matter how much money she pays, you cannot sell it to her. You must rent it to her and let her use it for ten years.
You have time to pay the money." Jing Salamander picked up a piece of plain silk with small writing on it from the desk and handed it to Duanshui, who was kneeling in front of him.
"What if that person doesn't come to buy the house?" Duanshui said as he put away the house deed.
"Then it's not something you need to worry about. You just need to wait for her. If she doesn't show up, just pretend that nothing happened." Jing Salamander said.
"Yes." Duanshui asked no more questions. As a killer, she only needs to execute orders.
But this does not mean that there are no doubts about Shuishui.
When did Luowen expand its business? It actually started buying and selling houses. No, it wasn't selling houses, it was renting houses.
Jing Salamander saw the doubt in Duan Shui's eyes and felt a little helpless.
Who said this was someone's order? What could she do?
How could she disobey his order at that time?
But, Zi Nu? Who is that? Thinking of this, Jing Salamander's eyes couldn't help but become solemn, and said: "This girl named Zi Nu, help me keep an eye on her."
"Yes." Duanshui was slightly startled when he heard this, but he still nodded.
At this time, Duanshui also became curious about the Zinu girl who was far away in Xinzheng. What kind of person she was, who could actually attract the attention of people in Xianyang.
In a courtyard in Xinzheng.
"Xiao Hong, when was that house sold?" Zi Nu leaned her body and supported it on the table with one hand. Her mood at this time was obviously not that wonderful.
"Yes, sister, it may be very troublesome to buy that house now." The woman named Xiaohong by Zi Nu said helplessly.
"I have just collected enough money for the house, why did someone get there first? Is there anyone else with similar ideas to me?" Zi Nu said hesitantly.
If that's the case, it would be troublesome.
When the Qin Army besieged the city, the housing prices in Xinzheng City plummeted. This was originally a good opportunity. Unfortunately, Zi Nu, who was worried about the Qin Army's intrusion, gave up. After the Qin Army retreated, the price of gold in South Korea rose, and the gold in Zi Nu's hands was obtained.
A huge appreciation.
The appreciation of gold made the property in Zi Nu's hands quickly approach the market value of the house.
This year, Zi Nu was finally able to buy the house, but the owner changed, which gave Zi Nu a bad feeling.
