Chapter 217: Twins' Soul Transformation and Destruction

Ying Zheng, Li Si and Gai Nie all focused their attention on Cheng Jiao.

Ying Zheng was surprised and asked, "Cheng Jiao, tell me who it is?"

"General Meng Ao's grandson, Meng Tian."

Encyclopedia Uncle Gai Nie: "There are two in this generation of the Meng family, one is Meng Tian and the other is Meng Yi. Both were sent to the army by their father. I didn't expect Meng Tian to be in the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army."

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "Not long ago, Miss Yan Fei and I went out to relax and ran into this person, so we chatted for a while."

Li Si remembered that he had seen this man before, and exclaimed, "I ran into this general when I came out of Wang Xi's tent."

Ying Zheng pondered and said, "Can you trust me?"

Cheng Jiao said calmly: "Brother Wang, you will know once you try it."

"How to try?"

"Are you willing to take the risk, my brother?"

“It’s not at risk right now.”

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "Then let Mr. Li Si tell Meng Tian about this matter and see what he chooses."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "If Meng Tian remains indifferent, then the Meng family will be useless. This risk is worth a try."

Li Si's mouth twitched. Why was it him? Because he had met Meng Tian once? Or was it because Wang Qi had "great trust" in him?
After discussing the matter, Cheng Jiao originally wanted to return to his tent to have a good sleep, but Zheng Ge dragged him into a talk all night.

Gai Nie and Ying Zheng were both very excited to listen to Cheng Jiao's nonsense, and were once again shocked by Cheng Jiao's eyes and words.

How to destroy the six kingdoms, how to deal with the aftermath after destroying the six kingdoms, and how to make the wheels of the same track and the writing system the same...

Cheng Jiao was dozing off and talking about whatever was on his mind. As he was talking he fell asleep on the desk.

Actually, I don’t have to sleep, but I just don’t want to continue talking…

If Gai Nie and Ying Zheng were Jing Wei and Yan Fei, he wouldn't mind chatting all night long.

Ying Zheng took out a shawl and covered Cheng Jiao with it. He and Gai Nie looked at each other and nodded.

The night passed quickly. In the early hours of the morning, soldiers brought food, allowing Cheng Jiao to stretch out and sleep comfortably.

Seeing that Zheng Ge was still kneeling beside the desk, reading Han Fei's works, he did not disturb him and ate the dry food he brought with him.

Gai Nie had carefully checked the food and found nothing wrong with it, but no one had eaten it. Who knew if there would be any chemical reaction waiting for them?

Before long, Jingwei and Yanfei walked in and stood behind Cheng Jiao without saying a word.

After Jingwei and Yanfei came in, Li Si also hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, at 3:00 pm, Wang Xi invites you to the command platform."

He didn't understand why Wang Qi changed the time. It was originally scheduled for dusk, but he was notified at the last minute that it would be early morning. Was this a trick?
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips and said coldly: "This Wang Zhi really doesn't take me seriously. Let's go! Let's go now!"

Li Si was a little embarrassed: "I haven't had time to inform General Meng Tian..."

Ying Zheng frowned: "How long will it take?"

Li Si said quickly: "I have already inquired, Meng Tian will patrol outside the tent in half an hour."

"Then wait another quarter of an hour and let Wang Xi live a little longer!"

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief. Although it didn't matter if the matter was not done well, if it was done well, he would gain more appreciation from Ying Zheng and make his career smoother.

Meng Tian, ​​along with two soldiers, walked a few dozen meters outside the tent with swords in hand. After glancing sideways, he prepared to leave.

Li Si walked out from the side and called out in a low voice: "General Meng, please stay."

Meng Tian's eyes narrowed and he recognized Li Si.

"Master Li, what's the matter?"

Li Si gently pulled Meng Tian aside and muttered a few words, causing Meng Tian to clench his sword tightly and roar in a low voice: "Don't slander General Wang Xi's innocence out of thin air!"

Meng Tian found it hard to believe what Li Si said that Wang Qi was going to assassinate the King of Qin.

Li Si quickly gestured to Meng Tian to stop being so impulsive.

"General, at 3:00 pm, Wang Xi asked me to invite you to the reviewing platform. We will know whether it is slander or not then."

Meng Tian took a deep breath. Since it concerned the safety of the King of Qin, he dared not take the risk even if it was impossible.

"I see!"

There were still two quarters of an hour left. Looking at the sky, Meng Tian counted with his fingers.

Li Si watched Meng Tian leave and shook his head. Given his personality, he would definitely not agree with Cheng Jiao and Ying Zheng's approach.

If Meng Tian leaked the news and alerted Wang Qi, he would miss the opportunity to take control of Pingyang's heavy armored army.

More importantly...he will be discovered to be Ying Zheng's man.

hiss~
Li Si was terrified when he thought about it. Could it be that Cheng Jiao did this on purpose to leave him no way out?

At three quarters past noon, the sky was still a little gloomy.

On the stage for selecting generals, Wang Xi held a sword and looked down at the stage, while Li Si sat at the table with his brows lowered in deep thought.

Ying Zheng, with Gai Nie, and Cheng Jiao, with Jing Wei and Yan Fei, slowly approached, causing Wang Qi to narrow his eyes.

Meng Tian suddenly came from a distance, startling Wang Qi who was on the platform selecting generals. He had a good impression of this grandnephew and thought he was a good candidate to be a soldier.

However, when he thought of his own ambitions, his eyes turned cold towards Wu Anjun, who had recognized him, saved his life and taken care of him in the past.

Meng Tian walked up to Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao, his eyes fixed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"According to military regulations, those who are not soldiers of the Great Qin must remove their weapons before stepping onto the stage. I will keep your weapons for you."

Wang Qi didn't understand why Meng Tian came here and why he said these words.

Li Si said leisurely, "Don't worry, General Wang Xi. Just in case, I have asked General Meng Tian, ​​who was placed in the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army by Prime Minister Lu, to come to help."

Wang Xi frowned and asked, "When did the Meng family get in touch with Prime Minister Lu? How come I don't know about Meng Tian's affairs?"

Facing Wang Zhi's questioning, Li Si didn't take it seriously: "Who knows everything about Prime Minister Lu? Maybe he is worried about the general."

Wang Xi did not ask any more questions. Lu Buwei had a great influence in the military. After Meng Ao of the Meng family died, it was reasonable for him to surrender to Lu Buwei.

Everyone had a blank expression on their faces. Gai Nie and Jing Wei took out their swords one after another and placed them in Meng Tian's hands.

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "General, these two swords are both famous swords of the time, please don't lose them."

Meng Tian's expression remained unchanged: "I will keep it well and won't let it fall into his hands."

Ying Zheng nodded imperceptibly, and with courage and strategy, he went to the dangerous situation alone to resolve Wang Xi's secret plan.

He believed that Meng Tian would return the sword at the critical moment.

"Please lead the way, General."

Cheng Jiao glanced with interest at Wang Xi who was observing the place. Just in case, he arranged for Yanri, Zhao Gao and the Six Sword Slaves to be not far away, ready to provide support at any time.

Unless there are several thousand people lying in ambush here, or seven or eight top masters who are no less than Xuan Jian Jing Niu, or a pseudo-celestial being like Bai Luan, or even a celestial being taking action, no matter what tricks Wang Xi uses, Cheng Jiao can take them all.

Meng Tian's lips moved slightly: "Everyone be careful."

Originally he did not believe that Wang Xi would assassinate the king, but after a short inspection in the army, he found that all of Wang Xi's personal soldiers were missing, and many of the powerful bows and crossbows made by Gongshu had been called out.

In a non-war period, this kind of deployment is obviously very abnormal. You have to know that these weapons are not ordinary crossbows, but weapons made by Gong Shujia specially for the Qin army to hunt Jianghu masters. A dozen of these strong bows and crossbows are enough to kill a second-rate master, and a hundred of them are enough to kill most of the first-rate masters. They are weapons that cannot be used lightly.

It also made him pay attention to what Li Si said. The old general Wang Xi, whom he had always admired, really had the intention of treason.

Seeing Ying Zheng, Cheng Jiao and others approaching, Wang Qi and Li Si stood up and saluted.

"Meet Master Shang!"

Ying Zheng stepped forward and said, "General Wang Zhi specially invited me to change the time temporarily. What's the reason?"

Wang Xi lowered his head slightly: "In the Wusui military camp, various forces are intertwined, and it is difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends..."

Ying Zheng, who was kneeling in front of the desk, waved his sleeves and said, "Enough, let's get down to business!"

When I came up just now, Gai Nie had already told me that there were murderous intentions lurking all around.

If it were just him and Gai Nie, it would be fine for him and Wang Qi to just pretend to be nice.

But now that Cheng Jiao is by my side, there is no need to waste time with Wang Qi.

Wang Xi suddenly revealed an eagle-like look and loosened his clenched fists.

"I heard that Master Chengjiao of Chang'an had a jade ring given by the previous king, but after my observation, Master Chengjiao next to Master Shang did not have this jade ring on his thumb."

Cheng Jiao couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that the excuse Wang Qi finally found was still related to him.

The original novel slandered Ying Zheng as his accomplice, but now it seems that he wants to deny or slander him as not Cheng Jiao and Ben Jiao, and then kill them on the platform on the grounds that Master Shang pretended to be the King of Qin.

Cheng Jiao said calmly: "General Wang Xi is right. I do have this jade ring, but for some reason, it is not on my hand."

For the safety of Li Wu, Yan Lingji, Madam Hu and the others, he had given his ring to Li Wu many days ago as a proof, and went to his mother's place in the Xianyang Palace. Calculating the time, it should have been two days now.

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Zhi and said, "General, what are you worried about?"

Listening to Ying Zheng's cold words, Wang Xi glanced at the people who were traveling with Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao. He had his own ways to deal with Jing Wei and Gai Nie, but the only thing he couldn't see through was the woman on Cheng Jiao's right.

Judging from his noble and elegant appearance, Li Si said that he was a noble from Xinzheng, which was very similar. Even if he had kung fu, it must not be very high.

Wang Xi sneered: "Master Shang and this Master Cheng Jiao are probably unaware of the crime of impersonating the King of Qin and the Lord of Chang'an."

Cheng Jiao touched his nose rarely, he never expected that one day someone would accuse him of impersonating himself.

Yan Fei, who was standing beside Cheng Jiao, looked at him with a smile, her lips moving slightly: "Sir, are you pretending to be me?"

Cheng Jiao was a little surprised that Yan Fei would tease him, and said with a smile: "What do you think?"

Yan Fei whispered: "Whether it is true or false, it is the same to me."

Ever since she developed strange feelings towards Cheng Jiao last night, she no longer cared much about Cheng Jiao's identity. It was enough for her to know that she was worthy of him.

Cheng Jiao was a little confused as to why Yan Fei suddenly became a little girlish, but now was not the time for him to think about this.

Ying Zheng sighed and said, "General Wang Zhi, I really don't know why you, as a veteran minister of three dynasties and known to the world for your loyalty to the Qin State, would want to assassinate me."

Even though the facts were laid out before him, he still didn't understand.

If Lu Buwei was after the power of being the number one in Qin, then for Wang Qi, an old minister whose body was half buried in the ground, what could have made him willingly risk the extermination of his clan and collude with Lu Buwei?
As the Zuo Shuchang of Qin State, with his brilliant qualifications, even Lu Buwei could not force him to do something he didn't want to do.

Wang Xi's eyes flickered: "At this point, you thieves still don't repent, catch them!"

After Wang Zhi shouted, the arrow with black light suddenly shot straight at Ying Zheng's back. Meng Tian, ​​who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head after Wang Zhi shouted.

Even if he didn't believe that Wang Xi had the intention of rebellion, he had to believe it now.

"Mr. Gai Nie, Lord Jing Wei, take the sword!"

Jingwei immediately grabbed the Jingwei sword thrown from Meng Tian, ​​held the sword in his backhand, and easily blocked the crossbow arrow that could pose a threat to a second-rate master.

Gai Nie stood behind Ying Zheng holding the Linyuan Sword, staring at Wang Xi coldly.

Jingwei was wearing soft armor made of fish scales and looked heroic. He disappeared beside Cheng Jiao in the blink of an eye, followed by a muffled groan or scream.

Ying Zheng was not at all panicked, and was still in the mood to chat with Cheng Jiao who was kneeling beside him.

"Cheng Jiao, you got it right again this time. When we were in Xinzheng, how did you know that Wang Qi had ulterior motives?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei looked at Cheng Jiao in surprise. Could it be that Cheng Jiao was also proficient in divination techniques such as Yin-Yang and astrology?

Everything happened so quickly that Wang Qi didn't have time to ask Li Si which side Meng Tian was on.

Facing Gai Nie's murderous intent, Wang Xi's face was gloomy. He slowly took two steps back and held the big axe at his side with one hand.

"Sir Xuan Jian, if you don't take action now, we will all die today!"

Before Wang Xi finished speaking, Xuan Jian clenched the two glowing swords in his hands and slashed at Gai Nie.

Jingwei was clearing out Wang Qi's personal soldiers. Now there were only two masters, Cheng Jiao and Gai Nie, in front of Ying Zheng.

As long as he can launch a surprise attack and seriously injure Gai Nie, stop Cheng Jiao, who has strong attacks and mediocre swordsmanship, and give Wang Qi the opportunity to kill Ying Zheng, his mission to become the leader of the Servant Luowang will be completed this time.

Unfortunately, Xuan Jian had a good idea and Gai Nie was directly suppressed by Xuan Jian. Even Cheng Jiao did not take any action and continued to chat with Ying Zheng.

"Your Highness may not know that General Wang Xi had already begun to move his camp and stockpile troops in Wusui a few days before your Highness arrived in Xinzheng. You should know that General Wang Xi and the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army have been stationed in the Taiyuan area for many years, and they suddenly came to the border between Qin and Han to guard Wusui. There must be something fishy about this."

Li Si exclaimed, "Isn't it because the last Qin envoy to Han was killed?"

Cheng Jiao shook his head: "The envoy was killed by Tianze. Unless Lu Buwei knew that the envoy would die, it would be such a coincidence that the envoy died on the first day and General Wang Qi deployed his troops on the border of South Korea on the second day."

Wang Xi's face was uncertain, and he wanted to chop Ying Zheng with the axe in his hand but couldn't move at all.

Yan Fei was making the Yin-Yang hand seal, and a light golden airflow was swirling around Wang Xi.

The mist that seemed to be dissipated with a wave of the hand made Wang Xi's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

Ying Zheng stopped thinking about this matter and looked at Wang Zhi, whose eyes had a fierce look but still showed no fear.

"Wang Xi, why did you conspire with Lu Buwei to murder me?"

Meng Tian stood behind Ying Zheng with a sword on his shoulder, and he was puzzled by the same question.

Xuan Jian came up and fought desperately. When he saw that he was about to take down Gai Nie, he was blocked by the seemingly delicate long sword in front of him.

"Thank you, Miss Jingwei!"

Gai Nie breathed a sigh of relief. There was a big gap in strength between him and Xuan Jian. Under Xuan Jian's desperate fight, the knuckles of his hands were bleeding, and the arm holding the sword was also bleeding.

Jingwei pointed his sword at Xuan Jian and said softly, "Xuan Jian, the young master wants to recruit you, are you willing?"

Xuan Jian glanced at Cheng Jiao and saw a woman easily taking down Wang Xi, his eyes flickering.

Just as Xuan Jian was hesitating, Zhao Gao, accompanied by six sword slaves and Yanri wearing a bronze mask, appeared on the platform at the same time, causing Xuan Jian's scalp to tingle.

One Jingwei was enough to make his life or death uncertain, and with these seven or eight more, he would have no chance of survival.

"boom--"

The sound of the sword falling to the ground represented Xuan Jian's choice.

He cursed Lu Buwei in his heart. How come all the top assassins of Luowang, except him, were on Cheng Jiao's side?

Zhao Gao put away Xuan Jian's black and white swords and waved his hand: "Capture him!"

He attacked at the same time with the soul-transforming and soul-destroying weapons, and the black iron chain in the sword directly tied up Xuan Jian.

Wang Xi, who had been watching Xuan Jian, felt powerless when he saw Xuan Jian directly join the team battle. His face became even older and gray.

Looking at Ying Zheng and Meng Tian waiting for him to speak.

"When King Zhao attacked Handan, Wu'an Jun advised King Zhao three times, but King Zhao did not listen and suffered a great defeat. As a result, Wu'an Jun was sentenced to death and died by taking poison. A famous general who had never been defeated in his life died in a war he had not participated in. How ridiculous! How ridiculous!"

Wang Xi raised his head to the sky and sighed: "Wu'an Jun, you have gone to the underworld. I will follow you in life and death!"

After saying this, he broke his own heart meridian and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Yan Fei frowned slightly and retracted the light golden airflow, and Wang Xi's body fell to the ground.

Meng Tian walked over to check and said in a low voice: "He committed suicide."

When Ying Zheng saw that Wang Zhi was going to die as he said, he immediately clenched his fists and looked at Wang Zhi's corpse with a fixed look in his eyes.

"Wu'an Jun Bai Qi!?"

He knew the secret: Wu Anjun did not commit suicide by taking poison, but was killed by the sixth elder of the Nong family.

Cheng Jiao sighed: "I think what Lü Buwei promised Wang Zhi was probably related to Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an."

Although Ying Zheng felt somewhat regretful about the death of Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, as a king, he knew that his subjects were too successful and threatened the king, so it was normal for the late king to want to get rid of Bai Qi.

Cheng Jiao glanced at Yan Fei who was accompanying him, and he also knew why Wu'an Jun was killed by the previous king.

The concept of being too successful to be a threat to the ruler had not yet spread in this era. Perhaps Wu'an Jun would not have thought that the former king would want to kill him because of this, and thought that the worst that could happen was that he would be dismissed from his post and stripped of his title.

Therefore, compared to Wu'an Jun, the later Wang father and son were obviously more tactful.

It is true that our ancestors suffered a great loss, and later generations became vigilant.

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the gloomy sky.

"The three clans of Wang Zhiyi will be punished, and all those who recommended, recommended, and approved his promotion will be strictly investigated."

Cheng Jiao knew that those who were related to Wang Xi and whose background was not strong enough to enter the Xianyang Palace would have their official careers come to an end, even if they had no intention of doing so.

No matter what era, what those in power care about most is not the talents of their subordinates, but their loyalty.

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he left, and Gai Nie, Li Si, and Meng Tian followed behind him. One was for close protection, and the other two needed to discuss the matter of controlling the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army.

On the stage, only Luo Wang, Cheng Jiao, Jing Niu, Yan Fei and others were left.

Zhuanpo and Miehun dragged the bound Xuan Jian to Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao didn't look at Xuan Jian who was lying on the ground, but took a closer look at the twin sisters in front of him.

Among his women, she is not ranked first in terms of appearance.

However, they looked identical, so he couldn't tell which one was the twin sister. In addition, their outfits resembled female ninjas, and the strange spider patterns on their abdomens made him very interested, and his long-dormant desire to collect cards resurfaced.

By then, they will have to shave off their shaved bangs that cover half of their faces. It looks unsightly and not in his best condition.

But now is not the time...

The Zhuanpo Miehun sisters were puzzled as to why Cheng Jiao looked at them with a somewhat...

But he is the boss of his boss, so he dare not say anything.

Zhao Gao, who had been observing Cheng Jiao, seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that Chang'an Jun Cheng Jiao had become interested in the pair of sisters.

Thinking of the information that Cheng Jiao was lustful and romantic, Zhao Gao couldn't help but have the idea of ​​sending a girl to him.

For him, the two swords of Soul Transformation and Soul Destruction were more important than the two women. There were not many Tianzi killers in Luowang, but there were many who were close to Tianzi killers, so the loss of two of them was not a big deal.

Cheng Jiao didn't know that the desire he inadvertently revealed was captured by someone with ulterior motives.

"Xuan Jian, tell me exactly what Lu Buwei asked you to do, and I will spare your life and let you serve me."

He had already told Ying Zheng about this matter, and Ying Zheng handed over all matters of Luowang to him, and he was also the one who decided Xuan Jian's life and death.

Xuan Jian couldn't help but lament in his heart. He didn't expect that just when he was about to climb up and gain power, he was caught and killed by Cheng Jiao.

He had always been brooding over Wei Xianxian's death, but now he realized that it was because he was not strong enough and his status was not high enough that he ended up with such a tragic ending.

Pity……

Xuan Jian honestly told Cheng Jiao about Lu Buwei's mission. After listening, Cheng Jiao frowned slightly. Lu Buwei was really careful and didn't leave any handle.

As for the idea of ​​letting Xuan Jian serve as a witness to disgust Lu Buwei, after thinking about it, he gave up this evil idea.

"Jingwei, give him some medicine."

Cheng Jiao said nonchalantly that although he would not kill Xuan Jian, he could not use him with confidence.

Fortunately, Zi Nu and Madam Ming Zhu prepared some miscellaneous poisons for him to control people.

Unless they have omnipotent spiritual power in their bodies, they have to be obedient.

Xuan Jian looked at the black pill in Jingwei's hand and swallowed it decisively.

Cheng Jiao nodded with satisfaction: "You are very good."

Xuan Jian exhaled, "What does my lord want me to do?"

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "I have no shortage of experts around me, but I think Lu Buwei will be in great need of them."

Xuan Jian nodded heavily, knowing that Cheng Jiao wanted him to be a spy and he had no choice.

"I promise that after Lu Buwei dies, I will give you the antidote."

A cold light flashed in Xuan Jian's eyes: "I can kill him."

He had a lot of complaints about Lü Buwei, this jerk. Is this just Jingwei?
Cheng Jiao curled his lips and said, "Killing Lu Buwei is not difficult, and you don't need to do it yourself. Just stay over there and pass on any information you have."

Even if Yanri said that there was a master named Lao Nu who was no less skilled than him by Lu Buwei's side, it would not be a problem for him.

However, the death of Lu Buwei involved too many consequences. If Lu Buwei was not uprooted, the power in his hands would not be transferred smoothly.

Not only would the Qin State be in turmoil, but he also didn't want to be assassinated by Lu Buwei's assassins every day.

Although he was not afraid of assassination, the flies buzzing around him every day were annoying enough.

Therefore, it would be best for Lao Lu to realize his mistake and die.
