Chapter 152 Shadow

Zhaojiacun.

The pavilions are ancient and the pavilions are locked.

The door slowly opened, and Zhao Shuang walked into it until he came to a wooden box.

The wooden box had been gathering dust for a long time and was covered with a layer of dust. Zhao Shuang walked closer, blew it gently, and took it off the wooden frame.

Yan Lingji stood nearby with nothing on her face.

"What are you doing with this box?"

“It’s not the box that matters, it’s what’s in the box.”

After Zhao Shuang finished speaking, a woman walked in from the outside, holding a long sword in her hand.

As soon as she entered the house, the woman knelt down.

"Lord, you called me?"

"Bai Lu, take this box to Pingyang and give it to Wang Yan."

The woman wore soft armor and a deer helmet on her waist. Her hair was tied back like a man's. When she raised her head, she could see a pair of determined eyes and a fair face.

Bai Lu stretched out her hands and took the box from Zhao Shuang's hand, with a look of confusion on her fair face.

"Wang Ye?"

"There are things in this box that interest him, and as a bargaining chip, I want him to stay ill for a month."

Bai Lu raised her head, a little worried about whether she could succeed.

"Wang Ye is resolute and I'm afraid he won't agree so easily."

Zhao Shuang smiled and touched Bai Lu's head, but saw her lowering her head and her face was a little red.

"That's why I ask you to take this box with you, so as not to let down the clan that only this man can inherit."

"I understand, and I will definitely give this box to Wang Ye."

Bai Lu seemed to be greatly inspired, her whole body was filled with enthusiasm and vitality, and she quickly agreed.

"She's really easy to get rid of!"

Yan Lingji stood aside, looking at the somewhat excited Bai Lu who was walking away, and flipped her hair. But Zhao Shuang turned his head and looked at her with a smile on his face.

Yan Lingji swallowed her saliva and felt inexplicably hot.

"What do you want from me?"

In the military camp, the sound of horse hooves neighed.

Soldiers drilled, food and grass were transported, camps were set up, and all military affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.

It's just that Zhang Tang, as the commander-in-chief, has no intention to manage these.

Zhang Tang, who had been an official in Qin since the time of King Zhaoxiang, had experienced various disturbances over the years.

But at the moment, although the Qin State is calm inside, it is only a matter of time before the undercurrents surface.

Zhang Tang was not willing to go to Yan State at first.

Just to compare with the situation in Qin State at the moment, Zhang Tang thought to himself that it would be better to stay in Yan State to avoid getting involved.

"General, there is someone outside the camp asking to see you."

Zhang Tang asked after listening to the soldiers' voices outside the tent.

"Who is coming?"

"It was said that the general was an old friend, and he asked his subordinates to hand over a jade pendant to the general."

"Send it up!"

The tent door opened, and the sunlight shone into the large, opaque tent. Zhang Tang squinted his eyes and saw the jade pendant held by his personal guard, and his expression changed.

"Bring people in and don't disturb others."

Taiyuan.

Jinyang was once the capital of the State of Zhao. It was managed by two generations of heroes, Zhao Jianzi and Zhao Xiangzi, and the city defense was extremely strong.

At that time, Zhibo relied on his strong national power to seize the land of the other three families. Both Han and Wei agreed, but Zhao Xiangzi refused.

Zhibo was furious and led the Han and Wei families to besiege Jinyang for more than a year, but they were still unable to capture it.

In the end, Zhao Xiangzi alienated the relationship between Han Wei and Zhi Bo, and the three families worked together to defeat Zhi Bo and destroy the Zhi family under Jinyang City.

It's just that Jinyang City today is no longer comparable to what it was back then.

After the Qin army captured Taiyuan, the Zhao people in Jinyang rebelled several times. After being put down, the population dropped sharply and it was almost turned into ruins. After reconstruction, it was far from its former glory.

"how's it going?"

Lao Ai looked at the food piles in the treasury and asked the people around him.

One of the assassins who followed Lao Ai to besiege Zhao Shuang was Ling Qi.

"It's all full, but I really don't understand why Lu Buwei asked us to come to Taiyuan?"

Whether it is to organize the army or to appease the people, food is needed.

"Wait! There will be a day when our brothers will come forward. This batch of military rations shipped from Guanzhong must be taken care of."

"I see!"

Lao Ai nodded and led the soldiers away, but before they had gone far, they felt a wave of heat coming over them.

"on fire!"

The soldier behind him shouted loudly, but Lao Ai didn't care and rushed back immediately.

In the granary, Ling Qi held a sword with an angry look on his face. Lao Ai looked up and saw a pretty woman sitting on the eaves with a fire hairpin in her hand.

With a slight stroke, a wave of flames set off on the ground. In this grain depot, the fire was even brighter.

"Who are you?"

"What a boring man!"

Yan Lingji was sitting on the roof, looking a little lazy and unmotivated.

"No one in this group is pleasing to the eye."

"you wanna die!"

Lao Ai was furious and pulled out the sword of the guard beside him. The sword energy surged and cut through the waves of fire. Lao Ai kicked the ground with her toes and rushed to the roof to confront Yan Lingji.

"So fierce!"

Yan Lingji stood up, not fighting with Lao Ai at all, and gave her a wink.

"Come after me!"

As Yan Lingji ran, everything she passed was covered in fire. The soldiers around her seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, and they did not stop her, just standing there in a daze.

"Fire Charm!"

Lao Ai said something and quickly stopped in front of Yan Lingji, pointing her sword at her.

"It's not fun, you caught me so quickly."

Yan Lingji's face was very unhappy, and she sighed, looking a little sad.

"Who sent you?"

"Lu Buwei sent me here."

Lao Ai was stunned and had some doubts in her heart. Could it be that Lu Buwei really wanted to frame him? But soon, he felt something was wrong.

"to be honest!"

"What they say is the truth!"

Yan Lingji was a little aggrieved, but this touching look did not make Lao Ai soften her heart at all.

"Brother, be careful."

When Ling Qi's words came, Lao Ai was very alert. She turned around and used her sword to resist the tyrannical sword force behind her.

It's a pity that Lao Ai only has an ordinary standard sword in his hand, not his Hidden Sun.

The long sword broke, and two swords, one black and one white, were slashed on the shoulders. Lao Ai held two swords with her hands, bloodshot eyes oozing from them.

"Xuanjian, you are not dead yet!"

Xuanjian smiled, raised his feet, jumped back, kicked Lao Ai in the chest, and kicked her away.

Ling Qi came with his people and protected Lao Ai.

But when Yan Lingji smiled, the sparks flew away, and her long black hair danced in the wind, looking very elegant.

"My master wants you to stay in bed for a month, so just stay in bed for a month!"

The ethereal voice came, but it was very piercing in Lao Ai's ears, and his words still sounded angry.

"Who is your master?"

Under Lao Ai's gaze, the elf-like woman slowly turned around. Xuanjian held two swords in his hands, guarding behind her, and walked away slowly.
