Chapter 344 A fire in the manor announced that the remnants of the Chu State had completely fallen into madness.

A group of assassins directly assassinated Wang Jian at the manor of Qin Xi in Huiji City, although they were unsuccessful, but they also brought a lot of impact.

That night, the curfew that had just been lifted began in Huiji City, and even during the day, soldiers patrolled the streets.

Of course, the secret guard took advantage of this assassination operation to find out the melons, and had already mastered a number of strongholds of the remnants of the Chu State, and they were all wiped out at the last moment.

Wang Jian looked at the information sent by the secret guard and nodded with satisfaction. The Dark Guard's actions still made him very satisfied, and as soon as the opponent moved, the Dark Guard found what he was looking for.

Wang Jian believes that there will only be more assassinations in the next few days, and it is even possible that Zhou Changqing will appear.

Two more days passed, and in these two days, Wang Jian was assassinated five more times, although it was unsuccessful, Wang Jian still suffered a small injury.

Of course, this is intentional by Wang Qian, if they don't do this, how can they continue to come. On this day, Wang Jian sat alone by the lake basking in the sun, humming a strange tune that Qin Xi had taught him, not at all like a person who might be assassinated at any time.

"Friends in the water, haven't you come out after hiding for so long?" Wang Jian said suddenly.

"Boom!" As soon as the words fell, the lake exploded, and then five people rushed out of the water, and the sword in their hands pointed directly at Wang Qian.

"Kill!" Five people attacked Wang Jian at the same time. Wang Jian stood up and pulled out his spear stuck in the ground and engaged in a fierce battle with the five assassins.

The strength of these five people is still much worse than Wang Qian, and after a while, three were killed by Wang Qian, and the remaining two saw this situation, looked at each other and jumped directly into the water and escaped.

Wang Jian didn't chase after him, but suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily.

"When people are old, they are tired like this after only a few moves." Wang Jian sighed.

"Although the general is old, when he raises the butcher's knife, he is not ambiguous at all." On the top of the pavilion behind Wang Qian, a person suddenly appeared.

"Zhou Changqing, you're still here." Wang Jian turned around and said. Zhou Changqing fell to the ground and said: "Wang Qian, if you stay in the north well, I, Zhou Changqing, will never trouble you, after all, the victory or defeat of the national war is fate, and the most important thing for me is the mandate of heaven." ”

"But you shouldn't have come to the south, and you shouldn't have killed people you shouldn't have killed!" Zhou Changqing's eyes suddenly became cold, and the wind was blowing around him.

Wang Jian smiled: "What shouldn't be?" Zhou Changqing, you don't count. ”

"Really?" The next moment, Zhou Changqing's sword had already appeared in front of Wang Qian. However, in the next moment, a black sword blocked Zhou Changqing's sword.

The black sword body twisted, shaking Zhou Changqing away and quickly attacking Zhou Changqing, and Zhou Changqing, who had no time to react, was forced to retreat more than a dozen steps before stopping.

A black-robed and masked killing sword stood in front of Wang Jian and protected Wang Jian behind him. After Wang Jian saw the killing sword, he directly inserted the spear back, then turned the chair, sat on it and began to watch the play.

Killing Sword looked at Zhou Changqing and said coldly: "It's a lot old, don't come out, isn't it good to take care of the elderly?" ”

"Some things are involuntary, but I didn't expect that there would be a strong person like you next to Wang Qian." Zhou Changqing said.

Killing Sword stepped forward and said, "Call out all the people who are hiding around, if you go together, there may be a chance." Zhou Changqing put away his sword and said, "The old man never likes to be interfered with when he does things!" As he spoke, he flew up, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Zhou Changqing's departure made those hiding in the shadows stunned, they still wanted to wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman, why did Zhou Changqing leave suddenly.

The killing sword did not chase after Zhou Caiqing, raised the sword and slashed out a few sword qi in all directions, and suddenly a miserable scream sounded, and then corpses that were blocked by a sword appeared in various places.

"General, the flies around are cleared." Killing Sword said to Wang Qian. Wang Jian smiled: "The old man has always felt that someone is secretly following the old man, but I didn't expect it to be you, I haven't seen you for a long time, but when did you change your sword practice?" Killing Sword looked at the sword in his hand and said, "This is given to me by His Majesty, in order to live up to this sword, I practiced the sword." ”

"How long have you been practicing?" Wang Jian asked.

"It didn't take long." Killing Sword said.

"No wonder you can still see the shadow of your sword technique in your sword technique, maybe you can get a newly made Qin knife, and your strength can go to the next level." Wang Jian said.

"Good swords are hard to come by, but precious swords are hard to find. It is enough for me to have such a good sword in my hands. Killing Sword said.

Wang Jian nodded with a smile and said, "Since that's the case, the old man won't say much." How about playing chess with the old man? No one has been playing chess with the old man for the past few days, so it's really boring. ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Killing Sword said and helped Wang Jian to the chessboard. ······

"Your Majesty, is the matter of General Wang arranged by Your Majesty?" Meng Yi asked as he stood below. The First Emperor sighed and said, "I didn't arrange it. Li Si arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't handle it well at this time, I'm afraid that General Wang will have a good death." ”

"Your Majesty, please also recall General Wang." Meng Tian said. The First Emperor rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm afraid that even if I let him come back, he won't come back." ”

"Why did General Wang do this? Didn't General Wang know the consequences? Meng Yi asked.

"I know, but for the sake of His Highness, General Wang decided to do it." Li Si said: "According to our plan, it will take about a year to clean up in the south, and His Highness's plan of two lakes cannot withstand such consumption at all. ”

"And the Two Lakes Plan can be said to be a big thing that His Royal Highness Qin Xi has done as a prince, and it is related to His Royal Highness's prestige in the imperial court, and it must not fail."

"Prime Minister!" Meng Yi had something to say, but he couldn't say it at this time. The First Emperor stood up and said, "I will never have an accident with Xu Wangjian because of this matter!" Meng Yi! You go to Wu County in person and bring Wang Jian back! Li Si, do a good job of the aftermath of this matter. ”

"No!" Li Si arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, at this time, the old general Wang should not have told His Highness, and even His Highness should not know yet, the minister thinks, call His Highness back, so as not to cause anything to happen to His Highness." The First Emperor thought for a moment and said, "No! Let him stay in the South. Li Si was stunned for a moment, and then stopped talking.

The emperor's intention was obvious, he wanted His Highness Qin Xi to come down and deal with this matter, so as to test His Highness Qin Xi's ability.

After everyone withdrew, the First Emperor's face suddenly showed a hint of anger. This time, Wang Jian can be said to be obviously on Qin Xi's side, and clearly told the First Emperor that he, Wang Qian, supported Qin Xi to sit outside the crown prince.

The First Emperor didn't believe that those ordinary ministers couldn't see that when the time came, a new round of standing in the court was about to start again, which was not what the First Emperor wanted to see.
