Chapter 639 Shadow Guard

There was no light in the dark room.

Several figures gathered together and murmured.

"Wang Ben, the butcher, flooded the beams and killed so many of us. This time, we must kill him."

"But the Shadow Guards have been moving around a lot recently. Will they notice it?"

"With Wang Ben's death, the Qin army in Wei lost its commander and its combat strength was greatly reduced. Only then can our people breathe a sigh of relief."

…

A chaotic meeting ended, everyone dispersed, one person lit a candle, and the light illuminated the dark room.

Qingxuan sighed and began to clean up the house.

After the fall of Wei, the power of Qin closely monitored Wei.

Whether it is Dongjun, Dangjun or Yingchuan County, they are important places on the Central Plains thoroughfare.

However, after the Wei State's armed forces were wiped out in one battle, the remaining nobles were scattered everywhere. With their strength, it was quite powerless to fight the Qin army.

It can even be said that the mantis acts like a chariot.

Assassinating important figures in the Qin State is the cheapest and most effective method.

However, their target was Lord Tongwu of Great Qin.

Wang Ben is a respected Marquis of Che, and he is accompanied by Qin's most elite tiger army, and he is secretly guarded by the Shadow Guards. It is not that easy to solve.

The group of people discussed it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a plan.

Qingxuan gathered around the room, and a dark shadow flashed, making him alert.

It wasn't until the figure appeared in front of Qingxuan that he let down his guard.

"Your Majesty!"

"Wushang, you are finally back."

"Your Majesty has a move, I dare not not respond."

The man sighed and sat down.

"Actually, if possible, I don't want you to come back. Taiyi Mountain is a place outside the world. You can live your life in peace there. However, now that the country is in ruins, the Qin army keeps a close eye on us and other nobles of the Wei state. .I have a shortage of manpower under my command and have to recall you."

"I understand. It's just that Qin General Wang Ben is closely guarded, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."

After hearing this, the visitor was furious.

"These bastards actually want you to assassinate Wang Ben?"

"My lord!"

Qingxuan was a little surprised. It seemed that his lord was not clear about this matter.

"Wu Shang, to tell you the truth, things are no longer what they used to be. In the past, my words as Lord Ningling might have been of some use. But now, people have different thoughts. Some have defected to the Qin State, some have hidden themselves, and some have It's just random behavior. Since my fiefdom was taken away by the Qin State, I have been driven out of Ningling. The Shadow Guards monitor me very closely. In order to avoid more trouble, I can only interact with a group of people on weekdays. Old acquaintances have been cut off. I took a big risk this time, but luckily I came here."

"Your Majesty has given orders, but Wushang dare not say anything."

Lord Ningling was in the dark and couldn't see clearly, but his tone was quite soft.

"After the Qin army captured Jicheng, the Wei State had already made plans to subjugate the country. In order to restore the country in the future, Queen Mother Leling dispersed the national treasures in many important places and distributed them to several people in the clan. I am One of them. As for the rest, I don’t know who they are?”

Wei Wushang raised his head, but heard his lord continue to speak.

"But not long ago, Lord Yangquan, who knew the inside story of this matter, defected to the Qin State and revealed the news. After this information was leaked, the Shadow Secret Guard is now investigating the matter thoroughly, trying to find out who is in charge of the national treasure people."

"Your Majesty, you want me to transfer this wealth?"

Lord Ningling shook his head.

"The location of these wealth is only known to a few appointed clan members. And for the sake of confidentiality, only the parties involved know the location of the wealth they are in charge of. But the problem is that the information revealed to Qin by Lord Yangquan is different from what I know. It’s not the same.”

Qingxuan asked with some doubts.

"What's the difference?"

"What Mr. Yangquan revealed to Qin was that before Empress Leling died, she divided the national treasure into three parts. But as far as I know, there are four parts in the national treasure."

"Could it be that Queen Mother Le Ling couldn't find so many successors, so she temporarily changed the four shares to three."

Lord Ningling shook his head.

"Wu Shang, it is not just gold and silver, it also contains a large number of weapons and trained dead soldiers. What is hidden in it is the foundation for the restoration of the Wei State in the future. On the eve of the fall of the Wei State, our army's military strength was concentrated in After arriving in Daliang City and being heavily besieged by the Qin army, Queen Mother Leling did not have the strength to do this even if she had the intention."

"This is strange. Even if you can't find anyone to entrust, you can give this fourth share to one of the first three. As far as I know, Lord Yangquan is a veteran of the Wei Kingdom's clan, but he doesn't know this. What about the fourth national treasure?"

"Wu Shang, you are right. So after getting this news, I investigated for a long time and finally found out that before the destruction of Daliang City, Wei Liao had secretly met with the Queen Mother Leling, and there were three others with him."

"Does Your Majesty know their identities?"

Lord Ning Ling shook his head and looked confused.

"But no matter what, these three people should be related to this matter. So, I want you to-"

Before Lord Ning Ling finished speaking, the attendants from outside rushed in.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the Shadow Guards are here."

"What did you say?"

Lord Ning Ling had no idea that the Shadow Guard would move so fast, and for a moment, there was a trace of panic on his face.

In the room, only Qingxuan's expression remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty, don't panic, there is a secret passage in this house, you can escape from here."

In the dark night, a large number of secret guards surrounded this place where the old nobles of the Wei Kingdom were plotting from all directions. On the periphery, there are still a thousand Qin troops on guard, which can be said to be completely concealed.

Zhang Han stood in front of the room, his face as sinking as water. In my ears, I could hear the rebellious shouts of being caught.

"How did you Qin people find this place?"

"Gray threads of grass snakes, followed for thousands of miles; like maggots attached to bones, following them like a shadow. I wanted to catch a big fish, but I didn't expect there were some shrimps. Pull on!"

"promise!"

The Shadow Secret Guards took these old Wei nobles who were illegally gathering together down. Zhang Han waved his hand, and several Shadow Secret Guards jumped in from the beams of a nearby room.

The skill of an average Shadow Guard is superior to Luo Wang's third-level Assassin. Soon, they cleared the way.

The door opened and Zhang Han walked in.

In the yard, a bunch of rebellious corpses could be seen. He came to the house, but never saw his target.

Zhang Han closed his eyes and felt a cool breeze blowing in the stuffy room.

Zhang Han opened his eyes and looked at a cabinet in the room. The shadow guards around him understood and moved the cabinet away, only to see a secret passage behind the cabinet.

Zhang Han had a smile on his face.

"It seems that it has been confirmed that Wei Jiu is one of those three people."
