Chapter 43 Purging the Down

readx;??“ Lu Goujian?!" The old man exclaimed, because he really didn't expect that this world-famous swordsman would actually defect to Zhang Jiashi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burn ^ Wen ^ Book Library] [].. [>

"There are many reasons for this, but at the moment I am very happy with the treatment. You're doing things you shouldn't be doing. ”

Lu Goujian showed a hint of a smile, gently pulled out the saber in his hand, and looked at the old man: "Dare to ask the old man if he would like to fight with me?"

When the old man heard Lu Goujian's words, he hated it so much. He knew that he was not Lu Goujian's opponent, and his consumption just now was very large, and it was very easy for Lu Goujian to solve him.

But in such a situation, he can't afford not to agree. Because he has a fight with Lu Goujian, he can still have a little way to live, if he doesn't fight with Lu Goujian, then he will die.

"!!Come on," the old man shouted, and after jumping up, he directly attacked Lu Goujian with his crutches.

Lu Goujian knew very well that this old man had a lot of strength, so he naturally wouldn't choose to fight him, after all, although he was confident that his strength would not be much weaker than him, but for him, he would not choose this stupid way to fight the other party.

After all, this kind of thing is not a way for him to accept.

When the old man's crutches quickly rushed towards him, Lu Goujian's figure moved gently to the side, and the old man's crutches fell short, but the old man quickly swept the crutches in his hand to the side before he got off the ground in mid-air.

"Qiang ......"

The crutch came into contact with Lu Goujian's iron sword, drawing a series of sparks.

But the smile on the corner of Lu Goujian's mouth did not decrease, as if the old man's sweep had no effect on him at all.

On the contrary, before the old man had fallen to the ground, he felt a sharp pain in his waist.

He looked at Lu Goujian's body in disbelief, and what he saw was that Lu Goujian directly threw a punch and knocked him away.

"Poof!"

The old man spurted out a mouthful of blood before falling to the wall on the other side.

He struggled several times, but found that the damage Lu Goujian had inflicted on him was too severe, and there was no way for him to stand up again.

And Lu Goujian looked at the old man who was paralyzed on the ground again, and smiled: "The other life of the swordsman is naturally the long sword in his hand." But, I don't think I said that I would only use swordsmanship to fight you. ”

The old man heard Lu Goujian's words, and roared out with his last strength: "You are not worthy of being a chivalrous man...... Poof......"

Lu Goujian heard the old man's words, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "That was before." Well, what Gai Nie said is very correct, as long as the people of the world can live a good life, even if we people lose their usefulness, it is not a big deal. ”

After saying this, Lu Goujian walked in front of the old man, and then slashed the blade of his sword diagonally......

He glanced at the dozens of swordsmen watching this scene in the aisle, and after inserting his saber back into the scabbard, he gently rubbed his left wrist:

"This old ghost's body is still quite hard......"

Many of the swordsmen who heard this sentence forced themselves to laugh.

But Lu Goujian, who made this action, knew one thing very well in his heart, that is, they seemed to be in a big trouble.

"Those bastards of the Nether Pavilion are actually involved in this matter, I'm afraid some things won't be solved so easily. ”

......

Netherworld, as a very mysterious killer organization, even before the Great Qin Empire unified the Six Kingdoms for the first time, not too many people could know about it.

But anyone who knows about the existence of the Netherworld Pavilion will be very jealous of a killer organization. After all, in addition to being mysterious, the Netherworld Pavilion has also committed several horrific assassinations.

Among them, it was confirmed that it was the assassination incident made by the Netherworld Pavilion, and it was the assassination of Li Mu.

After all, even Zhao Cong and the others had no reason to send someone to intercept and kill Li Mu, and Zhao **Fang respected Li Mu very much at that time, and no one was willing to accept this matter at all.

Therefore, although Zhao Cong was the one who sent someone to assassinate Li Mu on the surface, those who knew some insiders knew very well that Li Mu's death was the work of the Netherworld Pavilion.

As for who hired these killers to assassinate Li Mu, there are two theories.

The first is that the First Emperor Yingzheng sent someone to contact the killers of the Netherworld Pavilion, hoping to leave Li Mu's life.

But for such a thing, Ying Zheng was wronged, that is, he didn't know the existence of the Netherworld Pavilion, and in the Jing Ke assassination incident a year later, among the members of the Yan State envoys, Qin Wuyang and some guards were confirmed to be members of the Netherworld Pavilion.

So such a statement is actually very untenable. Because the Netherworld Pavilion never accepts some opposing assassination commissions.

The second theory is that in order to avoid forcing Li Mu to rebel, Guo Kai sent people to carry a lot of money, so that the members of the Netherworld Pavilion could kill Li Mu.

But after Guo Kai was attacked and his whole family was killed, there are very few people who know the truth of such a thing.

The second argument has become the most mainstream inference, after all, Guo Kai did have a motive to kill Li Mu.

But it was not only Li Mu's matter, but among the many unconfirmed claims, the Netherworld Pavilion was involved in several assassinations that could affect the history of the Warring States.

For example, the death of Tian Dan, the killing of Li Yuan of Chu State, and the death of King Qin Xiao have the shadow of the Netherworld Pavilion.

Of course, whether these claims are true or false is now known only to the personnel inside the Nether Pavilion.

However, these things are enough to show that Lu Goujian's worries are very reasonable. That's because the killers of the Netherworld Pavilion are not something that ordinary people can deal with.

He didn't know the details of the Nether Chamber. But Lu Goujian still knows one truth very well, that is, he now wants to tell Chen Ping about this situation.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After Lu Goujian asked to see Chen Ping, he did not receive Chen Ping's immediate reply, but hoped that the other party would go to the original professional guild located in the west of Xianyang that night, which is now the third floor of a large tavern.

On this night, Lu Goujian came to this place as promised, but what he saw was not only Chen Ping, who was traveling in casual clothes, but also Gonggong Xi and the high-level members of the Shangjun Camp, including Gai Nie.

He knew that Chen Ping should be planning to remove the hidden danger of the Netherworld Pavilion.

Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with such an approach, because he knew very well that Zhang Jiashi's assassination had already touched the bottom line of Chen Ping and Gonggong Xi, the two leaders of the secret power that Great Qin now possessed.

Although Zhang Jiashi had not suffered any harm at the moment, after Chen Ping understood the nature of the Netherworld Pavilion, he naturally would not let such a "time bomb" explode.

There was also a middle-aged man who Lu Goujian had never seen, but he could feel that the strength of the other party was above him, and he and Gonggong Xi were probably between him.

He can know one thing very clearly from the other party's Mo family's dress, from his own feeling of the other party's strength as circumstantial evidence, that is, the identity of this person, not surprisingly, it is Mo Hong, the son of the Mo family.

He didn't wonder why the other party was in this place, on the contrary, if the other party didn't appear here, it would be a strange thing.

"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss what to do. ”

The one who said this sentence was naturally Father-in-law Xi who was sitting side by side with Chen Ping.

And Mo Hong nodded: "Well, that's right, because we really have to discuss what to do about this matter." After all, the strength of those people is not too weak. ”

Mo Hong knew about the existence of the Netherworld, but he didn't know too much. After all, he didn't have much contact with this kind of killer organization.

But Mo Hong knew one thing very well, that is, the strength of the Netherworld Pavilion showed that the other party was not so easy to deal with.

Chen Ping also nodded.

Chen Ping is actually a professional, but as a mage, Chen Ping's strength is not even as good as Liao Yi, who is the commander of the mage battalion under Zhang Jiashi. So in this regard, he has not been able to justify that he is not a helpless person.

He then questioned Gai Nie, who had the highest martial arts among the dozen or so people present: "Captain Gai, I don't know if you have any good strategies to deal with such murderers?"

Gai Nie looked at Chen Ping and said calmly: "Prime Minister, the contemptible people know one thing very well, that is, the headquarters of these people should not be in the area under the jurisdiction of the king. It is undoubtedly a very risky move to completely purge the other party. ”

Gai Nie didn't have too much thought about his identity as a captain, after all, in his heart, his position as a captain of the Shangjun Battalion was not worthy of his attention.

If he hadn't been really grateful to Gonggong Xi, I'm afraid he would have left the Shang Jun camp a long time ago and continued to be his idle cloud and wild crane.

He learned of the headquarters of the Nether Pavilion by chance more than a decade ago.

Now whether the other party has placed the headquarters in that place, Gai Nie is not clear, but he knows very well that if he can't bring heavy damage to the Netherworld Pavilion all at once, then the harm to the entire Great Qin Empire is not much less than the harm of Zhang Jiashi's successful assassination by the other party.

After all, most of the military officials under Zhang Jiashi's command will not be like Zhang Jiashi and some important figures, who are protected by masters or have extraordinary strength.

Therefore, while knowing that his side did not have the ability to severely damage the Nether Pavilion, he did not tell a major secret that he knew.

And after Chen Ping heard Gai Nie's words, he quickly thought that Gai Nie was scrupling to have a full-scale confrontation with the Netherworld Pavilion at such a time, and the losses that would be brought were not something they could easily accept.

But there are some things that Gai Nie didn't say, which doesn't mean that Chen Ping and they can't pay attention to the meaning of Gai Nie's words, that is, since they can't hit the Netherworld Pavilion headquarters hard, then ......

The members or branches of the Netherworld Pavilion in the area under Zhang Jiashi's jurisdiction complained that they would do it directly.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

It was a fierce battle outside the battlefield that has not been recorded in the history books.

Beginning on May 2, 204 BC, as Chen Ping mastered the location of some Netherworld Pavilion branches lurking in the area under Zhang Jiashi's jurisdiction, he was successively attacked by the three underground forces under Zhang Jiashi's command.

The military intelligence system under Chen Ping's command, the Shang Jun Camp controlled by Gong Xi and the Mo family of Mo Hong, after the corresponding personnel were dispatched, quickly launched an attack on the location of several of the Netherworld Pavilion branches that had been secretly controlled.

......

On the night of May 2, 204 BC, Lu Goujian led fifty swordsmen to raid a village controlled by the Netherworld Pavilion in a valley in the south of Lantian County.

During this raid, Lu Goujian encountered one of the few masters of the Netherworld, a self-proclaimed nameless spear master.

After a fierce battle, Lu Goujian suffered not too serious injuries, and finally killed the opponent under his own sword.

And this battle made Chen Ping and the others realize that the people of the Netherworld Pavilion seemed to be prepared for their attack.

If it weren't for Lu Goujian's good strength, it would not be very difficult for the other party to destroy the swordsmen he sent out.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Ping directly reminded the personnel who were operating outside, that is, if possible, try to concentrate on the operation of clearing the Netherworld Pavilion.

But what Chen Ping didn't expect was that the farther away from the Xianyang region, the more difficult it would be to clear the Netherworld Pavilion.

And after Chen Ping received that three of the three dispatched clearance troops were completely annihilated, he realized that these enemies seemed to have led him into a misunderstanding.

He had to think twice about what he should do.

And on May 26, 204 BC, in a valley in Yuyang County, in the battle against the Netherworld Pavilion, one of Mo Hong's disciples, whose strength was comparable to that of a high-level ranger, was almost wiped out in the battle of nearly a hundred swordsmen.

Only this Mo family swordsman fought to the death, covering a few young people to escape successfully.

In this battle, a group of good players from the Mo family and Xuanniao Gate were lost.

According to the young men, it was in that valley that there were at least six masters on the other side who were not weaker than the swordsmen who led the team, and the assassins who commanded the Netherworld Pavilion defeated them.

In such a situation, Chen Ping had to send Gai Nie, Lu Goujian, and three other good men to that place.

In fact, he didn't think of such an arrangement of things, which had no effect.

Of course, it's not that Gai Nie can't solve the other party's team, but whether the other party will stay, Chen Ping doesn't have any expectations.

......

On June 10, 204 BC, Gai Nie and others, who had traveled from Xianyang to Yuyang County, came to that valley with more than a dozen swordsmen.

What they saw was the corpses of the swordsmen who had died in the valley hanging from the outside of the valley.

Among them, including that Mo Hong's disciple.

Seeing this scene, Gai Nie looked at the valley very calmly.

What he found was that these people from the Netherworld Pavilion did not leave, but were waiting for their arrival.

"All out. ”

Gagnie said this calmly.

And after a while, what appeared in front of Gai Nie and the others were more than a dozen Netherworld Pavilion killers wearing masks and holding various weapons in their hands.

From the momentum of the other party, Gai Nie knew that these people were all masters, and they should not have a low status in the Netherworld Pavilion.

The appearance of these people made Gai Nie frown, because he knew that the strength of the two sides was not in contrast.

Of course, he was not afraid of any of them, even three or four. However, of course, there are masters on their side, but Lu Goujian's injuries have not fully recovered, and the strength of the other three people is not as good as Lu Goujian.

Once Lu Goujian and the other three people were killed, Gai Nie himself knew that it was not fun to be besieged by at least ten masters.

However, at this time, Ganie showed a hint of a smile, that is, he sensed that there were several breaths falling on their side.

“......”

Among the other party's group of masked people, the person who seemed to be the leader couldn't help frowning when he saw four people appear.

He knew that if they really fought, their side would not take advantage. Especially the swordsman who was standing at the front of the other party, but he was a person he felt afraid of.

There are not many people in the world who can make him feel this way, but he doesn't know Gai Nie, and no one in his family has seen Gai Nie, so naturally he can't know Gai Nie's identity.

"You Qin people are too deceitful!"

A masked man uttered the words.

But what he got was a reply that made him have to be silent: "Who is the one who deceives people too much? The king was assassinated, and we, the subordinates, naturally had to seek justice." ”

The person who said this was a deputy commander of an intelligence organization under Chen Ping.

Although in several encounters, Chen Ping's side did not get too much cheapness, but if it was really converted, these Netherworld Pavilion, who thought that they could inflict heavy losses on the masters of the Great Qin Empire, would pay a much heavier price.

After all, the strength between the two sides is actually not a comparison.

Because although the overall strength of the Momen and the Xuanniao Sect is not strong, the casualties did not make the two sects too painful.

But the Netherworld Pavilion is different, in these days' battles, the Netherworld Pavilion has lost more than a hundred good hands, and even includes five top masters except for the elder who was killed by Lu Goujian in the first place.

In such a situation, the masters of the Great Qin Empire, except for Lu Goujian's strength, which had not yet fully recovered, did not suffer losses, and the high-end combat power of the Netherworld Pavilion could be said to be a big defeat.

If he failed to assassinate himself, he couldn't complain that the other party's subordinates came to find trouble.

In fact, they also knew that if the Great Qin Empire really used a large-scale army against them because of Zhang Jiashi's assassination, they would suffer even more heavy losses.

It's like a group of people whose strength is also ranked in the Netherworld Pavilion, facing thousands of Qin officers and soldiers, they can only take a detour and flee.
