EBE Chapter 146 Assassination of Lü Buwei
Chapter 146 Assassination of Lü Buwei
Fu Nian left, and Zhang Liang put aside the matter of Lu Buwei and Li Si for the time being, and turned to walk towards the place where the fierce battle had just taken place.
After a while, Zhang Liang returned to the distance, with an intriguing smile on his lips. The famous black swordsman Sheng Qi was seen wielding a huge sword that looked like a door panel, madly chasing a golden light, and that golden light was undoubtedly the little golden monkey. During this period, the little golden monkey had practiced the spirit beast technique, and his strength had increased rapidly. Not only was his strength greater, his body was harder, and his speed was also greatly improved.
Zhang Liang knew that he himself could not guarantee that he could defeat the little golden monkey, let alone Sheng Qi in front of him. Sheng Qi had just left the farm and had not yet become the black swordsman who would spend the rest of the seven countries' prisons. His cultivation had only reached the peak of the early Grandmaster stage, which was equivalent to the current Wei Zhuang. How could he defeat the little golden monkey?
According to Zhang Liang, to defeat the little golden monkey, one must have at least the ultimate level of Grandmaster cultivation. Even an ordinary Grandmaster level may not be able to defeat him, let alone Sheng Qi. Although Sheng Qi is extremely powerful, he cannot resist the little golden monkey. Although the Juque sword is sharp, it cannot hurt the little golden monkey. In terms of speed, it is precisely Sheng Qi's shortcoming, so naturally he cannot catch up with the little golden monkey.
Zhang Liang was only away for a short time. At this moment, Sheng Qi had no less than a hundred wounds and blood all over his body. He could only defend himself with his sword. This was when Zhang Liang ordered the little golden monkey to teach Sheng Qi a lesson. If he really let the little golden monkey kill him, Sheng Qi would have collapsed long ago.
"Jin Tong, come back!" Zhang Liang ordered softly. Although he was dissatisfied with Sheng Qi's unauthorized intervention, he had no intention of killing him. This kid could be as famous as Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang in the future, and he would be the first hero to stand up against the Qin State.
Upon hearing the voice, the little golden monkey immediately ignored Shengqi, flashed, and in the blink of an eye jumped onto Zhang Liang's shoulder, grinning at Shengqi provocatively.
Shengqi remained silent, and began to stop his bleeding with the help of the Juque sword. Even though the hundreds of wounds on his body were not fatal, the bleeding alone was enough to make him unbearable.
"I heard that you like to compete with masters?" Zhang Liang asked directly after seeing Shengqi finish treating his wound.
"That's right." Shengqi's answer was concise and clear.
"So who do you want to challenge when you come to Qin this time?" Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask curiously.
Shengqi remained silent.
Zhang Liang shook his head and roughly guessed the purpose of Shengqi's trip. This guy probably didn't have a specific target to challenge. Perhaps he was being chased by someone and fled to the Qin State.
To be honest, Zhang Liang always thought that Sheng Qi had the aura of a protagonist. This guy was extremely ferocious when killing people, but when it came to escaping, he was far from it. Zhang Liang saw that Sheng Qi had great strength, amazing instantaneous explosive power, and good swordsmanship, but his speed was too slow. Although he also trained his body, he did not practice defensive training methods. Even if such a master reached the master level, he could easily be killed by a group attack. It would be very difficult for him to escape when he met those assassins or archers.
Sheng Qi traveled across seven countries, but was captured by them one by one. He was imprisoned in all the countries, but he still survived tenaciously. He was even more amazing than the protagonist. Zhang Liang did not believe in the protagonist's halo. The reason why Sheng Qi was able to escape life and death repeatedly must be related to the farmers. Otherwise, every time he was captured, any soldier could kill him. How could he escape every time? His luck couldn't be so good, right? It was even more impossible for him to be captured once by each country and not be killed, right?
"You lose this time. I can spare your life, but I have a condition!" Zhang Liang said to Shengqi with a smile.
"Speak!" Shengqi pondered for a while. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he understood that Zhang Liang did have the ability to take his life.
Let alone Zhang Liang, he couldn't even deal with the little golden monkey Shengqi. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
"You can choose one between Lu Buwei and his follower Li Si!" Zhang Liang said with a smile.
"Humph!" Sheng Qi snorted coldly and said coldly: "If I kill any one of them, I'm afraid the ending will be no different from death!"
"Then why don't you die? Or let me take you to the farmers. It seems that many people in the farmers are looking for you recently!" Zhang Liang teased.
Sheng Qi said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will agree now but regret it later?"
"Don't be afraid. I believe you are a man who keeps your word. Even if you break your promise, it won't be a big loss for me. On the contrary, your life will definitely be difficult!" Zhang Liang replied with a smile.
"I will help you kill Lu Buwei!" Sheng Qi glared at Zhang Liang coldly, picked up the Juque sword, turned around and left without hesitation.
However, Zhang Liang frowned slightly. He originally thought that Sheng Qi would choose Li Si. After all, no matter how you look at it, Li Si is obviously easier to deal with than Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei is the prime minister of Qin State. He is very powerful in Qin State. Recently, he is fighting fiercely with Qin King Ying Zheng. He must be heavily guarded. With Sheng Qi's strength, the possibility of success is extremely low.
It’s not that Shengqi’s martial arts are not strong enough. In a one-on-one fight, Shengqi is indeed not inferior, but he is not suitable for assassination missions, nor is he good at escaping. In other words, even if he succeeds in assassinating Lu Buwei by chance, it is likely that he will find it difficult to escape unscathed.
"Did Shengqi choose to kill Lu Buwei because he guessed that Lu Buwei would soon be expelled from Xianyang, or because he felt that killing Lu Buwei would cost less?" Zhang Liang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
