Chapter 5 Sniper
At noon the next day, Fusu only took his steady Wuxin to accompany him and rushed to Prince Yan's palace.
When he arrived at the palace gate, Wuxin handed the invitation from Prince Dan to the gatekeeper, and a guard led the way inward.
Prince Dan's palace is quite large, covering an area of more than 100 acres, with pavilions, waterfalls, rockery, and floating bridges. The scenery is very beautiful. Although it does not have the exquisite elegance of the Central Plains countries, it has its own rough and majestic beauty.
Along the way, beautiful concubines came and went. Seeing the handsome and beautiful wine Fusu and Wuxin couldn't help but be happy, he was reluctant to leave. Fusu sighed in his heart: "As soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, these women were also pitiful!"
The guard led Fusu to the main hall and left. Fusu stepped inside and looked up. He saw Prince Dan sitting upright in the middle, while an old scholar in white was sitting on his left head, while the head of his right head was Tian Guang, Jing Ke, Gao Jianli, and the dog slaughter were also at the table. Another middle-aged man in green did not know each other.
Fusu said at the tribute: "I have met Your Highness of the Crown Prince in the Lower Zhao Su!" Prince Dan smiled and said: "Your family will not give me a gift! Please sit down quickly!"
Fusu looked at it and sat down next to Gao Jianli. Gao Jianli nodded slightly to Fu Su, and Fusu also nodded in return for his greeting.
At this moment, Prince Dan said, "Jing Qing and I got the same thing the day before yesterday. Before we could finish our stay, we invited four more people to the banquet!" As he said that, he introduced to everyone that the Confucian scholar in white was Ju Wu, the teacher of Prince Dan, while the man in blue was Huang Wu, and the specific identity of Prince Dan did not say clearly!
Then he heard Prince Dan say: "The day before yesterday, he had a great time talking to Zhao Qing in Mr. Tian's mansion and was very educated. He said that he had a great appreciation for Zhao Qing's wisdom. Therefore, Dan specially invited Zhao Qing and the Lord to come and discuss current affairs again! Today, you are either a minister of Yan State or a person who was harmed by the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. So I hope you can ask everyone to show what you have learned and find a way to save the Yan State!"
Fusu secretly rejoiced in his heart: "It seems that his strategy of getting close to Jing Ke and others to gain the trust of Prince Dan has been successful. As long as he can be familiar with the every move of Prince Dan and others, it will be easy to deal with them!"
At this moment, Ju Wu cast his sharp eyes at Fusu and asked: "The three strategies that Mr. Zhao said the day before yesterday. The crown prince said that he would agree with me very much. However, His crown prince was kind and could not bear to harm General Fan's order, so he was quite embarrassed. I wonder if the prince had another good plan to save Yan?"
Fusu looked at Ju Wu and saw that this person looked like a full moon and had a medium figure. Although he looked calm, the sharp light in his eyes showed that this person was definitely not easy to deal with. He sneered in his heart, but said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "I am a little ignorant and shallow, and I can only think of these three strategies for a moment. Now the first strategy does not work, and the effects of the latter two strategies are very limited!"
Then Huang Wu suddenly interrupted, "Young Master Zhao's three strategies were not talented, and he also heard from Master Ju. However, he believed that although the first strategy was not working at the moment, the other two strategies were also feasible. The Qin army fought in Zhao for a long time and was exhausted so far, so he might not be able to make a move to Yan. As long as the four countries of Yan, Wei, Qi and Chu work together to form troops, and then take the old friendship between the King of Yan and the former king of Qin, King Zhuangxiang, as a ritual, the Qin soldiers may not really dare to attack Yan!"
Fusu laughed and said, "How can Qi and Yan help Yan for many years? The two countries of Wei and Chu are far away from this and their attitudes are unclear. I am afraid that people will be sent to contact you now. If the two countries hesitate, Yan will worry about overthrow!"
Fusu intentionally poured cold water on everyone. If Yan, Wei, Qi and Chu really joined forces, there would be no good fruits from Qin.
Ju Wu laughed and said, "Young Master Zhao, although Qi is a feud with Yan, the security of Qi has always been the security of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei as a barrier to block Qin's advance eastward. In this way, Han, Zhao and Wei have been destroyed, and only Wei has the remaining Wei, and it is inevitable that the lips and teeth will be cold. Although Qi cannot explicitly put down his face and go against Qin, he will definitely hope that the Qin army will not attack Yan and retreat to return to the country in private. Therefore, only if the plan is appropriate, Qi may still give Yan some help in private! And the Wei and Chu countries, I am 80% sure to persuade the two countries to help each other, after all, the lips and teeth will be cold!"
Zhao Su couldn't help but look suspicious when he heard this, obviously he was a little confused about Ju Wu's confidence.
Seeing this, Prince Dan smiled and said, "Zhao Qing may not know. In fact, when Zhao State was first destroyed, Mr. Ju suggested that I contact all countries to fight against Qin together, so he had already sent envoys to Qi, Wei and Chu to negotiate. There was news from Qi State that as long as Wei and Chu sign an alliance, Qi State was willing to secretly fund a batch of money and food; and this Mr. Huang Wu was the envoy sent by Wei State. Because the Chu State was far away, it would probably take half a month to arrive! Even the old Han Dynasty, I sent envoys to contact its remaining forces, and the old Han Dynasty's subordinates would also come soon!"
Fusu couldn't help but be surprised and thought to himself: "History seems to have changed. There was no such plan in history. However, Ju Wu is really a powerful figure, and he was ready so quickly! The so-called inadvertent words just now were clearly testing me! But it's good, fortunately, I've just hidden my weakness, otherwise it would have been aroused by others' suspicion!" He couldn't help but feel alert in his heart. But his face was still calm. He said in admiration: "Master Ju is really a talent, Zhao Su is not as good as that!"
Ju Wu smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Zhao is too honored!" Prince Dan laughed and said, "When the Chu envoy, Han envoy will arrive, the alliance will be completed, and the countries will work together to restrain the Qin army, so that the Qin soldiers will not retreat to the country obediently!" Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Jing Ke said calmly: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, we are all ordinary people in the market, and it is difficult to enter the elegant hall! Your Highness, the Crown Prince, told such a secret matter. Is it a bit inappropriate? If the secret is leaked, wouldn't it endanger the safety of Yan State!"
Prince Dan laughed and said, "All the loyal and righteous people, how can you leak the secrets? Today, I will tell you the secrets of the country to you, hoping to treat you with sincerity. Now Yan is the time to use people, and all the nobles are carrying their unique skills. If they can serve Yan, Dan will swear to the heavens and make a vow!"
Fusu and the other four were shocked. Prince Dan actually wanted to recruit him and he was hesitant for a moment. Jing Ke said first with a calm expression: "Brother Gao and Brother Tu, both are idle clouds and wild cranes, and they can't bear the restraint in their lives. I'm afraid that the prince will be disappointed!"
Fusu also said apologetically: "This is the same thing. Although the crown prince is sincere, Zhao Su only wants to live this life safely, and my wish is enough!"
When Prince Dan heard this, his expression was a little unhappy, but it flew away. He smiled and said, "Well, since all the ministers are unwilling to become officials, can we still make friends? Come on, let's drink a few drinks!" Prince Dan raised his glass first, and everyone responded quickly.
Seeing that Prince Dan was no longer pressing each other, Fusu, Jing Ke and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After drinking three cups, Prince Dan clapped his hands and said, "Only good wine, how can you enjoy yourself without beauty! Come and sing and dance to serve!"
As soon as the words were finished, a group of beautiful dancers surged out from the side door. Everyone was wearing only a thin gauze, revealing the underwear close to their clothes. The exposed shoulders, jade arms, and plump and sexy long legs couldn't help but make everyone sitting shaking their hearts.
In an instant, the music was moving, and the dancers danced gracefully in the melodious and ancient swallow music. The wonderful dance posture and charming expression made everyone intoxicated for a moment...
The banquet was about to end, and Fusu and others refused Prince Dan's kindness to give four beautiful concubines, and each returned home.
*******
Back at the inn, Fusu immediately summoned Qin Hu, Qi Hong, Wu Xin and others to inform everyone about what they heard today.
Qi Hong said in surprise: "If the power of the countries in unity is complete, wouldn't it be very unfavorable to our Qin State? We must not let Yan State succeed!"
Fusu nodded and said, "Yes, the Hezong will definitely be destroyed. What are you good ways?" Qin Hu said, "It's better to send 'Wolf Tooth' to lurk on the side of the road, encounter special envoys from various countries and attack and kill them. In this way, if various countries send special envoys again, it will probably take more than half a year to come and go, and it will be too late!"
Wu Xin shook his head and said, "No, if you do this, wouldn't you tell Prince Dan and others: Your plan has been leaked! That would probably make Prince Dan suspect the young master. If the identity is revealed, wouldn't the young master be dangerous?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod.
Fusu thought for a while and said, "At present, the matters with the lords of all countries are presided over by Prince Dan. If he dies, the lords will not be able to proceed for a while!" Qi Hong was shocked and said, "Young Master wants to assassinate Prince Dan!"
A cold light flashed in Fusu's eyes and said, "No, it's not a husband without poison! He's better than my Qin State's unlucky!" Qin Hu was stunned when he heard this, "But young master, we only have thirty 'Wolf Tooth' warriors accompanying us this time, and Prince Dan always travels with more than a hundred guards. I'm afraid it's difficult to succeed!"
Qi Hong nodded and said, "Yes, young master, even if we succeeded by luck, we may have suffered a lot of casualties. At that time, Yan State was searching the city in a large number of cities, and our whereabouts would be revealed. How can we escape the rounding up?"
Fusu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't use the 'wolf teeth' this assassination!" Qi Hong was shocked when she heard this, and said in a panic manner: "Young Master, you won't want to go by yourself. That's absolutely not possible! You are the future crown prince of the Qin Dynasty!"
Fusu laughed and said, "Sister Hong, where are you thinking? I don't need 'wolf teeth', and I have other forces to assassinate Prince Dan. Don't worry, I won't take any risks easily. Sister Hong, immediately order the insider of Prince Dan's mansion to investigate Prince Dan's recent whereabouts. If there is a cheap moment, report it to me quickly!" "Yes, young master!" Although Qi Hong was a little confused, he had to respond when Fusu was confident.
After everyone stepped back, Wuxin stayed and asked, "Young Master is planning to use the fifty swordsmen of our sect to assassinate Prince Dan?" Fusu nodded, and murderous intent emerged in his eyes: "Yes, in this way, whether successful or not, Prince Dan will not doubt us! Wuxin, you immediately notify Tianxing Martial Arts Hall and let them be on standby at any time!" "Yes!"
*******
At that time, it was almost night, and a bright moon appeared in the sky under the cover of dark clouds.
There was no one on the long street. People were already asleep, with only a few occasional sounds of dogs echoing on the street.
In the distance, the chariots and horses came over. It was Prince Dan who returned from the banquet. Next to the car, there were more than a hundred blue-clothed warriors saniting the car, protecting the carts tightly. However, when the night was late, everyone became more sleepy, so they immediately seemed a little unconscious.
Soon, the cart turned into a street corner and changed its direction from south to east. Just as the convoy passed halfway, a whistle suddenly flashed in the night sky, and then a cold light flashed across the houses on both sides. A row of sharp crossbow arrows roared down from the sky and rushed towards the warriors of Yan.
"Puboo..." The Mo family's weapons were indeed sharp. The special crossbow arrows quickly penetrated the bodies of more than ten Yan warriors, almost penetrated them in one piece, and a hazy blood mist suddenly rose in the dark night.
"There are assassins -! Protect the prince!" The warriors of Yan Kingdom, who were awakened by a rain of arrows, quickly jumped off their horses and prepared to gather in front of Prince Dan's car.
At this moment, a blurred black shadow suddenly flew out of the house. Some warriors quickly swung their swords to block it. With a "click" sound, they found that it was a black lasso. The movements were a little slower and they were miserable. They felt their necks tightened and their eyes turned black. The body flew away from the horse's back like a cloud of fog, and threw themselves into the dangerous black shadow. Then a miserable scream rang out.
In just a moment, almost no one in the enemy was seen clearly, and the warriors of Yan State almost lost 30% of their troops.
Prince Dan was shocked and angry in the car, shouting: "Don't panic, hold on, the city guards will come soon!" The warriors in Yan State calmed down a little. Some of them surrounded Prince Dan's carriage, and the other part was about to rush into the house to catch people.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rose from the house, and then a sad and beautiful cold light rushed towards the warriors of Yan State under the moonlight.
"Protect the car!" The brave warrior of Yan State was not willing to be outdone, and roared and waved his sword to meet him. A bloody battle started on the long street. The sword was fighting, the sword wind was howling, and the blood mist in the sky drifted in the cold night.
Although Prince Dan's accompanying warriors were very brave and good at fighting, they were all rare masters, but the assassin's sword skills were even more powerful. With only three or five moves taken over, five or six Yan warriors were killed in a pool of blood. For a moment, Yan's warriors were killed by black-clad masked assassin and retreated step by step.
Prince Dan looked grim and drew his sword in his hand to prepare for a fight. In a panic, he couldn't help but look at the three white-clothed warriors next to the car.
The first person is tall, with a stern expression, and a strong face full of courage.
The second person has a slender figure, a handsome face, and a somewhat lazy face that has a hint of elegance.
The third person, with a medium figure and a strong body, has a pair of shiny eyes on his face, which is usually unremarkable.
These three are Prince Dan’s personal guards: Xia Fu, Song Yi, Qin Wuyang!
Seeing that Prince Dan was a little frightened, the three of them couldn't help but smile and said, "Prince, don't be nervous. With me here, I can keep the prince safe!" Prince Dan looked at the three of them and felt a little calm. Thinking of the three of them, he couldn't help but feel confident and said, "The three Qing families have such confidence, but they don't come forward to kill the enemy quickly. Remember, keep a living!"
The mighty Xia Fu nodded and said, "Wuyang, Song Yi and I go to kill the enemy, and the prince will be handed over to you!" Qin Wuyang, with a calm face, said lightly: "Don't worry, two brothers, if I am here, the prince will be here!"
Xia Fu nodded, pulled out the long sword under his waist with a 'cang', and Song Yi also pulled out the long sword. The two of them jumped off the horse and shouted: "Although the thief is crazy, Xia Fu, Song Yi is here!"
Xia Fu shouted loudly, and the sound of thunder was like thunder. The long sword danced rapidly. Five swords were slapped in a row. The cold light flashed rapidly. The sound of thunder was faintly lit. When the two swordsmen first were immediately shocked. Although they swung their swords hard to resist, after a "crack" of gold and iron, the long sword in their hands was shattered into pieces. Then two sword lights broke through the air and penetrated through the chest and abdomen of the two. The two screamed and died immediately on the ground.
Song Yi's sword light was like a man. The long sword was flying, and the sword light in the sky was as beautiful as flying petals, but it contained endless murderous intent. The first one was a swordsman in the ink, and he felt a flash in front of him. Before he could react, he felt a chill in his throat and suddenly he was dying. Song Yi's sword was so erratic and fast!
Seeing Xia Fu and Song Yi was so brave, he was excited and his counterattack momentum increased immediately, and he immediately got back many disadvantages.
Seeing that the situation stabilized for a moment, Xia Fu and Song Yi roared angrily, and the cold light flashed, and as two furious tigers pounced into the bush of the ink masters. The long sword flashed rapidly, blood mist spilled, and a warlike ink master spilled blood on the long street.
For a moment, with Xia Fu and Song Yi joining, the battle situation suddenly changed. The Mozhe Swordsman retreated step by step, while the Yan State warrior was pressing fiercely.
Fusu, who was quietly hiding in the distance to watch the battle, flashing his brilliance, and said to Wuxin beside him: "I don't want the prince's side to have such an outstanding person. I underestimate the Yan people too much! This action cannot be successful. To avoid excessive casualties, I order the retreat! Remember, let them not go back to the Direct Tianxing Martial Arts Hall!" "Yes, young master!"
After Fusu left quietly, Wuxin suddenly whistled, and the sword light of the Mozhe swordsmen suddenly burst out, forcing the warriors of Yan State to retreat. Then, several Mozhe swordsmen threw out several black balls. With a "bang" white mist rose, a burst of cow-haired needles shot out from the smoke.
"Ah——" The Yan State warrior who had a slow reaction was immediately caught, and screams rang out on the long street again. However, Xia Fu and Song Yi saw the opportunity quickly and dodged in time, but fortunately they were not killed.
When the smoke disappeared, when the warriors searched for the enemy, they had already disappeared. Only the corpses of fifty-six Yan warriors and about twenty assassins were left on the ground. On the long street, there were bloody and pungent.
At the same time, the city guards who heard the fierce fighting sounds on the street rushed over. But at this time, they got nothing except Prince Dan's stinking and sarcastic scolding.
The next day, the general of Jicheng City Guard mobilized a large number of Yan troops to conduct a carpet-style search in the city. After a busy day, he was empty-handed and found nothing. He couldn't help but be scolded by Prince Dan again.
