Chapter 168: The Dispute within the Alliance
Hearing this, both Jing Ke and Feng Xian were surprised: How did this Tianxing come about? How did it become like this? Could it be that he really realized the way of the sword? Is it possible?
Seeing their demeanor, Zong Tianxing smiled and said quietly: "Maybe you think I am deliberately pretentious, but this is what I say in my heart, if it weren't for the brothers in our alliance, who would want to live a life of licking blood from the knife edge?
Feng Xian still didn't understand, but Jing Ke understood: It turned out that this Tianxing had changed its tricks, and today's words and deeds were clearly to please Feng Xian, so as not to make him think wildly, and Zong Tianxing thought that he was going to beat Feng Xian at this time, but he was afraid that it would not be easy, so he chose the most tactful way, hoping that Feng Xian would join their team and continue to assassinate the business! It seems that he is really getting more and more powerful, so he has to be more and more careful! This Tianxing is powerful, it has been clearly laid out, it seems that there will be a dragon fight next year!
Feng Xian smiled and said happily: "Senior Brother Zong, in this case, let's disband the Sword Protector Alliance! I heard the ancestor say that next year, the Tai'a Divine Sword will be born, and even if our task is completed, then the Sword Protector Alliance will be meaningless! Hehe, we can live an easy life!"
"Ah!" Hearing this, both Jing Ke and Zong Tianxing's eyes widened: What? Tai'a Divine Sword is about to be born? So, isn't the Sword Protector Alliance really going to be disbanded?
Could it be that this is what Master Zu meant? Do you want to continue to maintain the Sword Protector Alliance?
The two looked at each other unconsciously, and they were at a loss: disbandment, of course, is not something they want to see! What should they do?
Zong Tianxing pondered for a while before he smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Feng, this matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to do! We have three thousand brothers, and we have disbanded the Sword Protector Alliance, how can they survive? Moreover, everyone has to support their families! Alas, we are at ease, but we have pushed our brothers into the abyss, how can we bear it?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Feng, let's persuade our ancestor to let our Sword Protector League continue to be maintained! Alas, Senior Brother Feng, we have been in the assassin business for more than 30 years, and once we change careers, the brothers will not be able to adapt to it! Therefore, my opinion is that our Sword Protector Alliance must continue to be maintained!" Jing Ke also objected.
When Feng Xian heard this, he was out of line!
His original intention was to take advantage of this Tianxing tired plan to play the card of disbandment, hoping that they would rein in the precipice and make the most correct choice!
In this case, what should we do? I am afraid, I can't be in a hurry! Let's let it be! Otherwise, everyone will be unhappy at this time, and won't it hurt the feelings between brothers?
So, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "You don't want to, then, let's talk about it later, let's listen to the ancestor's meaning! Alas, okay, let's continue to drink, haha, since we don't compare swords today, let's compare the amount of wine, how about it?"
At this time, he remembered that he was living in a free life, either drinking, playing with swords, and of course, there was also the wind and snow!
"Okay, refreshed, come, let's drink!Haha, drink!But, third, when the time comes, you have to say a few kind words to the ancestor, our brothers and sisters have the same opinion, and the ancestor will have no opinion! Come, big brother, third brother, let's drink together!" Jing Ke came back to his senses and hurriedly toasted.
Zong Tianxing also hurriedly raised his head to drink, and was happy: "The second brother's words are right, so we brothers and sisters can convince the old ancestor with one heart! Haha, when I was in Zhao Kingdom, I felt that they were amazing, it seems that they are clear about all our things, but they don't want to say it! Third child, you have the deepest understanding of the way of the sword, they will definitely like it when they see it, we all rely on you!"
When it was over, the two of them let out another nostril and pulled Feng Xian into their chariot, making him want to refuse!
He had to sigh: "Let's talk about this matter slowly! Haha, the time is still very early, doesn't it mean that the Sword Saint will be decided on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival next year? Haha, the Tai'a Divine Sword will also decide to belong, whoever can worship it, it will be whoever! We don't have the right to decide, haha, there is an ancestor!"
"Actually, what's so good about this sword? We have been looking at it since we were children, and it doesn't seem to be anything special! Isn't it just a sword? Isn't it an exaggeration in the past?" Jing Ke suddenly led the topic to Tai'a Divine Sword.
When the two heard this, they both laughed, but the meaning was different, Zong Tianxing was happy: "It doesn't matter, our minds are not on this Tai'a Divine Sword, as long as our Sword Protector Alliance can continue to exist, it is the greatest good thing! However, speaking of that divine sword is really interesting, I heard that it has not been touched for a hundred years, and I don't know if it is rusty! Haha, I don't know who Allah is? I'm afraid it's still a nobleman of the six countries!"
"It seems that there is hope in the Qin State! I see the meaning of the old ancestor, it seems that he belongs to the prince Yingzheng of the Qin State! Haha, that kid is very good, he must have the share of the Son of Heaven, that look, I am afraid that no one in the Six Kingdoms can match it!" Feng Hu immediately said good things for the prince Yingzheng of Qin.
"Ah!" Hearing this, whether it was Zong Tianxing or Jing Ke, they were all shocked: Could it be that this is really the case?
All of a sudden, the faces of both of them were a little unhappy!
Especially Zong Tianxing, he has just received the order to assassinate Ying Zheng, so in this case, does he have to go against the old ancestor? So, does he still have a way to live? Could it be that Ying Zheng, the prince of Qin, is really the true son of heaven they elected?
All of a sudden, his heart became uneasy, and his face became more and more stinky, and everyone knew that he had something in his heart, and it was a big thing, not a small matter!
"Senior Brother Zong, what's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly?" When Feng Hu saw it, he naturally asked: Could it be that something big happened to the moth?
Jing Ke smiled quietly: It seems that this Tianxing wants to assassinate Wang Zizheng again, haha, miserable, is this kid crazy, hehe, playing with the old ancestor, isn't this looking for his own death?
Zong Tianxing sighed and smiled bitterly: "We have taken over a big business this time, and the target of the assassination is Yingzheng, the crown prince of the Qin State, with a commission of up to 500,000 gold! I thought it was a good business, but I didn't expect it, but now I'm afraid that it will become a hot potato! Could it be that our Sword Protector Alliance should really be finished?"
There was a natural unwilling look on his face, and although there was some suspicion in his eyes, he was also a little fierce!
Jing Ke's face seemed to be very happy, but he didn't want to express his position, and turned his gaze to Feng Xian, obviously, at this time, he thought that Feng Xian's attitude was the most important: this was no longer as simple as an assassination operation, but it really involved the survival of the Sword Protector Alliance, and he didn't want to express his position easily!
Feng Xian sighed, looked at his expression seriously a few times, and then smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Zong, this matter had better end here, the responsibility of our Sword Protector Alliance is to protect the Tai'a Divine Sword, not to assassinate its owner!
Hearing this, Zong Tianxing's face changed a few times, and he seemed to be getting more and more unhappy, and shouted: "I, Bashan, just want you to help me get through this difficult time together, I know that this assassination operation is very troublesome! However, the benefits are really amazing, 500,000 gold, this is the biggest business of our Sword Protector Alliance since we took over the assassination business, can we not do it? Therefore, I think we should concentrate all our strength to complete this assassination operation, and have a satisfactory result with the employer, of course, we can also get a huge reward!"
He finally stopped tempting and had a direct showdown: this time, he was originally trying to learn Fengxian's sword moves, and at the same time, he hoped that he could help him assassinate the prince Yingzheng of Qin!
Now that the swordsmanship has been learned, it is only time to practice, and then it is time to ask Feng Xian to go out of the mountain and take the initiative to cooperate with other killers to complete the assassination mission!
How do you know that Feng Xian's attitude is quite resolute this time: "I will definitely not participate in this matter, there are three reasons, one is what our ancestors decided to do, the second is that I can't go against the will of my ancestors, and the third is that I definitely don't want to be a killer!
Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, Jing Ke was also surprised, but he understood in an instant, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, third brother, don't worry, our assassination operation, can you add it! Haha, it doesn't matter, you haven't participated in any assassination before! Hehe, senior brother, what do you say about this? I think we have to be cautious, don't pierce the sky!"
The implication is that he is a little disapproving of the assassination of Ying Zheng, and he doesn't seem to want to go against Xiao Han and Princess Taiping!
"Second brother, then, what do you say? That's 500,000 gold? What a huge number! I have already collected the deposit, if we don't do it, we will definitely lose double the deposit, and our reputation will also be affected! So, I mean let's carry out this business to the end, so that we can have a good life! The third child doesn't want to play, let's let him continue to enjoy Qingfu!" Zong Tianxing was helpless, but his attitude was also very resolute.
He knows that the third child is simple, and if he says that he will not participate, he will never participate!
But the second child is different, what this kid thinks about day and night is to defeat himself, become the boss of the Sword Protector Alliance, and then, take charge of everything in the Sword Protector Alliance!
Moreover, the second child also has strength, and there are at least a thousand killers in his hands, besides, he currently has Yan Guo and Zhao Guo as his foundation, and it is not easy to get rid of him by himself!
Therefore, the two sides can only cooperate, not kill each other! Otherwise, let alone the task will not be completed, I am afraid that even the old capital will have to be compensated, and even the life will be taken!
If all the elites of the Sword Protector Alliance can be gathered, then it is still entirely possible to complete the assassination mission! If 500,000 gold is in hand, then the influence of the Sword Protector Alliance will be unprecedented, the organization will be further expanded, and it will even be able to compete with any country!
Then, he is the real master of the world!
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to immediately gather all the elites of the Sword Protector Alliance to personally carry out this vigorous assassination operation!
Seeing his expression, Jing Ke pretended to sigh, and then smiled: "Senior brother, this matter is in a hurry! Haha, wait until we understand what the ancestor means, I think, before the ownership of the Tai'a Divine Sword is decided, we'd better not do it lightly! The ancestor has a will, before the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, he wants us to protect the swordsmanship masters of various countries! Hehe, besides, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, wouldn't it be more upright for us to get rid of Yingzheng?" Haha, since the sword competition began fifty years ago, there is no limit to life and death in the ring, this time we can make full use of the opportunity of the sword competition to complete the assassination mission!"
Obviously, he agreed to assassinate Yingzheng, the prince of Qin, but did not agree to do it in the form of assassination, instead, he wanted to kill Yingzheng in the sword competition, which can also complete the task, and it is the best way, no one can be offended!
Listening to their words, Feng Xian sighed, but stopped talking: since this is their choice, then, there is no point in saying anything more, rather than arguing with them, it is better to be silent!
Zong Tianxing sighed, thought about it, and then smiled bitterly: "Second brother, you are a bit of a woman's kindness! Haha, are you sure about killing Ying Zheng in the ring? However, when I was in Handan, I saw that Ying Zheng's swordsmanship was not very good, and it seemed that there was a long distance between him and us! Haha, those so-called young swordsmen are almost all embroidered pillows! It's just that Li Zhen is really smart, I can't take a move from him, but he won't compete with us! However, it is best to carry out the assassination plan secretly, because we can take advantage of its unpreparedness, haha, this is what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War!"
It seems that his "Art of War" is well read, and it has been used entirely in assassination!
"Well, that's good, Senior Brother Sect will do it according to your plan!Haha, I'll just try to kill Yingzheng in the ring, haha, whoever succeeds, will share half of the other party's bounty, how about it?" Jing Ke finally brought out his hole cards!
Of course, he knew that Zong Tianxing wanted to eat alone, but he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the assassination mission, so he wanted to gain huge benefits while preserving his strength!
Zong Tianxing was not a fool either, and smiled: "Second brother, your abacus is better than mine, so let's go separately, whoever succeeds, give the other party 100,000 gold, how about it?" It's just that if I need your men and horses to make a move, they will also move!"
"Hehe, big brother, you are too cunning! If I want to make a move, I will open it in half, otherwise, you can take care of yourself!" Jing Ke's expression finally turned cold.
Zong Tianxing thought for a moment before he sighed: "Okay, you kid is still cunning, second brother, you are amazing, I might as well too!
He finally agreed to Jing Ke's distribution plan and compromised!
