Chapter 69: Sword-Cooked Wine Is Tasteless
No wonder those words sounded very familiar to my ears before!
I see!
This river is actually the famous Yishui, and that swordsman... is Jing Ke?
Thinking this, Su Qiubai looked at Jing Ke with wide eyes.
The number one assassin in Chinese history!
Although Ying Zheng was not killed in the end, it also confirmed his reputation. Looking at the slightly tragic shadow at this moment, one can feel the murderous intent of his sword even more.
But... what will the mission be?
Just when I thought of this, the system, which had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up.
"Follow Jing Ke to assassinate King Qin! Take him away from this time and space!"
These words made Su Qiubai almost fall to the ground.
Paralysis...this is killing me!
Ying Zheng in this time and space doesn’t know Su Qiubai! He knew very well that the Ying Zheng he knew was the Ying Zheng who had already unified the six countries.
Ying Zheng in this time and space... is the time to show off his talents!
What's more, if he remembered correctly, when Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Qin had just destroyed Zhao, and Bai Qi killed 400,000 people there!
Now this crazy system actually allows him to follow Jing Ke to assassinate Qin, and even takes him to escape!
Isn't this the plan to kill the old driver?
After hesitating for a long time, Su Qiubai finally had no intention of going over to meet Jing Ke. He just stood silently next to Yishui, watching Jing Ke get on the carriage, and finally left with loud singing.
The people watching the farewell waited for a long time before slowly starting to return.
Some people would look at Su Qiubai for a few times, but then leave in a hurry. From the beginning to the end, no one came to say anything to him.
After everyone left Yishui, Su Qiubai got into the car again.
He has accepted this task in his mind at this moment. Although it seems to be extremely difficult, there is nothing he can do about the system.
Especially this task will be the last test for driver's license upgrade. One step forward is simply flowers and applause, one step back...is death!
After hesitating for a long time, he analyzed the task from beginning to end.
Finally found a little bit of life!
The mission only said that he should follow Jing Ke to assassinate Qin, but it did not say that he must kill the King of Qin!
So the key to successfully completing this task lies in this tattoo!
What exactly counts as a thorn?
At first, Su Qiubai thought about whether he could take Jing Ke and escape before he entered Xianyang Palace.
But later he gave up the idea.
If this is the case, it is not considered an assassination of Qin at all!
If the system directly determines that the mission has failed, it will really make me want to cry!
But finally, there is no need to kill King Qin... This is the biggest good news!
Otherwise, Terror himself would not be able to escape, let alone run away with Jing Ke!
Su Qiubai knew very well how terrifying Ying Zheng's strength was, not to mention Bai Qi, Wang Jian and the others...
To be honest, in Su Qiubai's opinion, Jing Ke's behavior made no difference.
But now... I have to follow him to do this kind of death-seeking thing!
After sighing, the old driver suddenly thought of someone!
Go to him... maybe he can give you some advice!
Without hesitation, Su Qiubai opened the shuttle and went directly!
Finally... when the car stopped, he had already seen Ying Zheng waiting at the door.
Because he had already contacted him using the pager before coming, that's why Ying Zheng was waiting for him here!
After getting off the car, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time. Bai Qi and the others also rushed over quickly. A banquet had been prepared in Xianyang Palace, waiting to entertain Su Qiubai.
Looking helplessly at the sign above her head that said Xianyang Palace, Su Qiubai looked helpless.
It sounds like nonsense. I don’t know what the author was thinking. He actually asked an old driver to come and discuss with the forty-year-old Ying Zheng how to assassinate the thirty-two-year-old him!
Fortunately, the system will reset this history after the mission is over, otherwise it would be a complete mess!
After several people entered Xianyang Palace, Su Qiubai sat down. Ying Zheng looked very happy and even sang and danced to add to the fun.
However, Su Qiubai was obviously not in the mood, so after chatting for a few words, he started talking about business.
"Do you remember Jing Ke?"
Looking at Ying Zheng, the old driver felt a little uneasy.
After all, Jing Ke planned to kill Ying Zheng at that time, so he was also worried that mentioning this person would put his uncle in a bad mood.
The result was different from what he expected, Ying Zheng actually had a bit of sadness on his face.
"This man is indeed extremely brave, but he is very skilled in martial arts. Now that I think about it... I feel a little regretful about killing him."
Ying Zheng took a sip of wine, and there was no anger in his tone.
This made Su Qiubai breathe a sigh of relief, and then he hesitated and continued to ask, "Then can you tell me, when you found out that he was planning to assassinate you...under what circumstances would you let him go? Or... How can he escape?"
This is the ultimate purpose of Su Qiubai coming to Ying Zheng!
There is definitely no way for his car to drive into Xianyang Palace, so he can only hide outside when the time comes. How to bring Jing Ke out alive after his whereabouts are exposed has become the biggest problem!
And the person who knows best how to escape...maybe Ying Zheng!
Su Qiubai's question confused everyone.
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and then said, "The situation was very critical at that time. There were many guards in my palace. His dagger failed to hit me, and there was almost no possibility of him getting out of Xianyang Palace!"
The veteran driver who was originally concentrating was shocked by these words.
Is it really certain to die?
Just when he thought of this, Ying Zheng suddenly didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly continued, "If they could fight their way out of the palace at that time, there might be a chance!"
When these words came out, Su Qiubai became excited.
What he was most worried about was that Ying Zheng had already prepared everything. If he just fought his way out of the palace, he might be able to think of some solutions!
"What's possible?"
This question made the old driver nervous again, and the atmosphere in the entire Xianyang Palace was also a bit strange.
It was actually the emperor who brought a group of generals with Su Qiubai to discuss whether Jing Ke could successfully escape after the assassination was revealed!
For Ying Zheng, who is in his forties, this question is just an interesting hypothetical proposition.
But for Su Qiubai at this moment, any piece of news may give him more possibilities to complete the task!
After all, he will soon follow Jing Ke to assassinate the thirty-two-year-old Ying Zheng...
"After Jing Ke was killed, in order to ensure the safety of the palace, we thoroughly checked the exits and passages outside the palace, and we really found a secret passage!"
After hearing this, Su Qiubai almost jumped with excitement!
"Then what? Where is that secret passage? Where does it lead to?"
Somewhat impatiently, the old driver asked quickly.
"That secret passage is under the Tingfeng Pavilion behind the palace. I don't know who built it, but it actually leads directly to a temple outside the west city gate!"
Ying Zheng frowned, and it could be seen that when he discovered this secret passage, Ying Zheng himself was also shocked!
But Su Qiubai is just the opposite!
This is great news for him!
"Where is Tingfengxuan? Take me to see it."
The relationship with the uncle has been established in Donghai for a long time, so Su Qiubai's words were not polite at all, and he stood up first after finishing speaking.
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, and while standing up, he asked Su Qiubai about Su Xiaoxiao's current situation. He was even happier when he heard that everything was fine with the little girl.
All the way out of Xianyang Palace, Su Qiubai followed Ying Zheng and carefully inspected the terrain, not even missing a tree.
Ying Zheng asked him what he planned to do, and the old driver was embarrassed to say that I plan to kill you. Although the mission will be in an independent space by then, such words are always a bit embarrassing.
Having already walked in front of Tingfengxuan, Su Qiubai took out his paper and pen again, asked Ying Zheng to take him through the road again, and drew it very patiently.
Because he had already made a plan to let Jing Ke take a good look at this when the time comes, so that it would be easier for him to escape in the future.
Finally, after writing this down completely, Su Qiubai felt much more relaxed.
Now, there should be no problem!
The old driver left directly without staying in Qin Palace longer or eating, leaving only Ying Zheng and Bai Qi looking at each other, confused as to what this guy was planning to do when he came here mysteriously.
Su Qiubai, on the other hand, had already started locating Jing Ke in his car. Since this mission required him to follow him, it was crucial to get rid of this guy!
…
At this moment, in a remote alley in Qinghe City.
After Mu Chunxue left Su Qiubai's place, she planned to leave here as soon as possible. The master asked her to follow the iron bead and said that she would definitely find that person!
But until now, she was still confused.
When her shoulder was injured, she thought she was dead!
But who knew that by chance meeting a taxi driver, he could actually ask a doctor to heal his injuries?
This indeed made Mu Chunxue a little unexpected. Her master once said that unless she met a strange person, she would be in trouble.
Now that I think about it, that old man is definitely not a liar, as is the taxi driver.
Even Mu Chunxue herself didn't notice that since she left Su Qiubai, her mind was filled with Su Qiubai's shadow.
The reason for this is actually very simple...it's because she has been in the mountains for so long and has never been in contact with other people.
It can even be said that Su Qiubai was the second person she met who was kind to her!
She sighed silently in her heart. She felt a little at a loss. The sky was huge and she had no idea where she was heading, let alone where to look for the person Master mentioned...!
At this moment, a flying knife suddenly came towards Mu Chunxue from the darkness!
No one could be seen nearby, and the flying knife even carried some air-piercing gods. Mu Chunxue was taken aback, and then she subconsciously took a step back before she had time to think about it.
Then... six warriors flashed around.
The killer...is here again!
…
Su Qiubai on the other side finally found Jing Ke. After leaving Yan State, the carriage headed all the way towards Qin State.
It was already night when Su Qiubai found him.
Parking the car aside, the old driver jumped out.
For some reason, he didn't know how to get to know this assassin.
Many people think that Jing Ke is just an ordinary assassin, but Su Qiubai understands what kind of hopes this person carries and what kind of feelings he has.
He stabbed Qin alone, and the plan was to see him with a dagger!
Just these eight words, anyone who hears them will feel a chilling feeling in their ears, as well as a sense of determination and attitude towards justice!
This is a man's last decision in his life, and it is also the last thing he wants to do with the thought of death.
Madmen are undoubtedly terrifying, especially this kind of very calm madman.
Slowly approaching the carriage parked in the spare parts, Su Qiubai heard Jing Ke's singing again.
"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never come back..."
Tragic, desolate...
Before he even walked to the side, Su Qiubai was already thinking about what kind of person this swordsman would be.
After listening to the singing for a long time, he suddenly remembered a song and couldn't help singing it.
The wine made with swords is tasteless. Who can drink a cup of it?
You say goodbye to me, you say goodbye to me.
The scent of rouge can be loved but not given.
How long is the sky and how far is the earth?
If you are a hero, you are destined to have no tears and no regrets...
