The fleet of Tai Shi Ci Nandu. It will take at least more than two months to reach Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhou. During this period, the situation in the Central Plains region underwent many changes again.

The time has reached the middle of August, and there are still ten days before the time when the first "National Games" will be held in the Jin Kingdom, and the team of Zhao Xing who went out to inspect at this time has already walked on the road from Huguan to Crouching Tiger City.

Zhao Xing and the people in the team were originally relaxed and happy on a long-distance trip, but because of the unexpected situations that have often occurred in the last period of time, they have become a little depressed and heavy. Counting the first attack in Linzi City, King Pingxi's convoy was harassed and assassinated in various ways from the beginning of its transit through Jizhou, and although it did not cause any substantial damage, it was as annoying as a fly that could not be driven away.

Zhao Xing, who hadn't exploded in foul language for a long time, suddenly scolded in the car one day: "A straight thief, don't let Lao Tzu find out who is behind the trick, otherwise you will have to pick up your thief's skin and light the sky lantern!"

Outside the car window, Dian Wei, who was temporarily the leader of the guards, echoed angrily: "Where is it enough to light the sky lantern, you must raid the house and destroy the door to relieve your hatred!

It turned out that since Zhao Xing was attacked in Linzi, Zhao Yun couldn't help but send Dian Wei to Zhao Xing's side, and let him be responsible for the safety guard of the King of Pingxi during his return from Qingzhou to Crouching Tiger City. For Dian Wei, who has still not resigned from the post of head of the guard regiment, it is naturally incumbent on him to protect Zhao Xing's safety, although he really wants to watch how Gao Shun led the army to hit Cao Ren in the face, but in order to complete the task, he still honestly followed Zhao Xing back to the Jin Kingdom first.

Along the way, what made Zhao Xing, Ma Jian and others feel strange was that several groups of killers who were assassinated halfway were very average in ability and level, and almost as soon as they appeared, before they got close to Zhao Xing's convoy, they were stopped by the shadow elites guarding around, most of them were killed on the spot, and a small number were caught alive.

If the assassins were all of this level, Zhao Xing would be able to worry about it in the future. However, judging from the actual situation mastered by the shadows, the ultimate dead soldiers raised by the major forces are obviously not at this level of indiscriminateness, and even Zhao Xing does not dare to be careless and sloppy in the slightest.

For so many years, other forces that were eager for Zhao Guochang to ascend to Elysium as soon as possible, especially families like the Sima family and the Yuan family, who were mortal enemies with Zhao Xing, did not dare to make a desperate bet and sent all the dead soldiers to assassinate Zhao Xing, because they all knew that the ultimate dark power in Zhao Xing's hands would only be more powerful and terrifying than theirs. As long as Zhao Xing did not take the lead in breaking this tacit bottom line, then other forces would never dare to make such a move, otherwise Sima Fang, the patriarch of the Sima family, would be rumored to be a living example.

What makes Zhao Xing feel strange is here. He couldn't figure out who was blinded by lard, and he wanted to assassinate himself again and again, could it be that because he had given everyone too many good looks in the past two years, everyone forgot his former loudest bandit name of "Bingzhou Zhao shaved his head"?

Under the various interrogation methods of the shadow team members, those "tongues" who were captured confided the truth one after another, and they were actually the disciples raised by a small number of hidden big clans in the Jin Kingdom! And the reason why these families, who were already weak and had a low-key life with their tails between their legs, sent their doormen to assassinate the King of Pingxi as if they were suffering from "heartlessness" this time was that they were instructed by a certain big man in Jinyang City!

"Rub, I'll play with your grandma!" Zhao Xing, who was sitting in the carriage and was about to arrive at Zhengyangmen, suddenly burst out with a second foul mouth, he looked at the interrogation record sent by the Shadow Guard, and muttered quietly with his eyebrows twisted.

Isn't the big man in Jinyang City the lice on the bald man's head obvious? Except for Liu Rong, the king of Jin, it is Wang Yun, the minister of state. Judging from the complicated relationship between Liu Rong and Wang Yun and Zhao Xing, it seems that both of them have motives and reasons for attacking Zhao Xing.

Liu Rong wanted to kill Zhao Xing on the eve of Zhao Xing's imminent return to the Jin Kingdom, naturally he wanted to break free from the shackles of the King of Pingxi and become the King of Jin who really held great power; Wang Yun wanted to kill Zhao Xing, perhaps because he was the biggest undercover agent sent to the Jin State by the imperial court over the years, or because he wanted to get rid of Zhao Xing and send the world that Zhao Xing had single-handedly conquered to Liu Rong's hands.

Logically, the motives of the two men are roughly like this.

Although he had been far away from the old nest of Crouching Tiger City for several months, who knew that there was an extremely secret underground intelligence network centered on the location where he moved, and it had always maintained a high-speed and timely operation. Although Zhao Xing is thousands of miles away, he has a clear grasp of the major things that happened in Crouching Tiger City and the Jin Kingdom, and his cousin Li Jinsi, who has been hidden behind him, is definitely his most trusted subordinate.

When Zhao Xing was still weak, Wang Yun repeatedly suggested that the imperial court deal with Zhao Xing, but it cannot be said that Wang Yun resigned from the position of Situ and came to the Jin State as the prime minister, and he still wanted to be an undercover agent for Liu Bei and Cao ** for free.

Wang Yun can see more clearly than anyone else, and today's Zhao Xing's power is full-fledged, and it is far from being as simple as getting rid of the "bandit leader" Zhao Xing to get peace in the world. The Zhao Xing forces are a very united elite group with a clear program of action and the idea of nation-building, which is far from being comparable to the likes of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the past, nor can it be compared with Wang Mang who usurped power and Zhang Jiao, who rebelled.

To put it impossible, even if Zhao Xing is choked to death when he drinks water and is hacked to death by lightning when he walks, there are at least ten or more children raised by Zhao Xing who can be embraced to inherit his legacy, and the most outstanding Zhao Zhenbang is still his Wang Yun's grandson!

After knowing that the general trend was irreversible and that he had been integrated into the Jin State system, Wang Yun had no reason to think about Zhao Xing anymore, although he seemed to be the most suspicious. In fact, the information kept being transmitted from Li Jinsi showed that after Zhao Xing left the Jin Kingdom, Wang Yun did not do anything to calculate Zhao Xing behind his back. Recently, he has been busy preparing for the "National Games" and has been slapping his head in the back of his head, where do he have the time to meet any strangely identified guests.

Since Wang Yun was excluded, the only remaining Jinyang bigwig was Liu Rong, the king of Jin. According to the analysis of the results obtained from Li Jinsi's investigation, with the "National Games" about to be held, Liu Rong's behavior in the recent period of time really has a lot of suspicious points, and among the visitors he has received from all over the world, there are many people with suspicious identities, especially people from the direction of Luoyang.

Could it be that Liu Rong feels that his wings are stiff now, and he can really argue with Zhao Xing?
