Chapter 110 Gai Nie Defection

"Everyone, please listen to me."

"I have a plan that can take Ying Zheng's life!"

Zhang Liang stepped forward, holding a feather fan and waving it gently, full of confidence.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Liang, their anticipation evident in words.

"Everyone, please look here!"

Zhang Liang pointed to the map on the wall, and four big words were clearly visible - Ancient Bolangsha!
"Everyone, the terrain here is complex, with dense hills and swamps. It is perfect for setting up ambushes and hiding. It is also the only way for the First Emperor to travel east."

"Without a doubt, this is the best place for assassination!"

"As for how to start?"

"We need Xiang Yu from the Xiang family, who has natural supernatural power, the big iron hammer from the Mohist family, and Chen Sheng from the Farmer family. The three of them should work together."

"A huge rock weighing several thousand kilograms was buried in the ancient Bolangsha."

"When Ying Zheng passes by, smash his carriage with one blow. He will definitely not be able to dodge, and he will surely die!"

Zhang Liang spoke eloquently and laid out the entire plan to assassinate Qin.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and smiles appeared on their faces.
"Zifang's wisdom is rare in the world and worthy of admiration!" Yan Dan raised his hands high, with a hint of recruitment in his praise.

"A wonderful idea! A truly wonderful idea!"

"Hehehe!"

"Although Xiang has no other strengths, this strength is extraordinary!"

"This time, we must smash the cruel Ying Zheng to pieces!"

When Xiang Yu heard that he would become the main force in the assassination of Qin, his heart was filled with joy, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Liang became much softer.

"Let us fight side by side and fight against the tyranny of Qin!"

Xiang Liang stepped forward and made a passionate declaration, which attracted the crowd to echo him.

"Work together to punish the tyrannical Qin!"

The shouts of Yan Dan, Xiang Yu, Chen Sheng, Zhang Liang and others were deafening and their expressions were excited, as if they had already seen the scene of Ying Zheng being smashed into a pulp.

Yangwu County.

The huge troop of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng who was on his eastern tour rested here and prepared to set off again the next day.

Late at night.

When everyone fell asleep, the Moon Goddess, the moon goddess with purple hair covering her face, quietly came to Gai Nie's door.

"Mr. Gai, there is a piece of news that may interest you!" Yue Shen slightly opened her red lips and said to Gai Nie who was silent in the room.

Silent
There was no response, as if he had never heard it in his sleep.

The Moon Goddess did not show any concern for the lack of response, and slowly uttered four words: "Son of Jing Ke!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and a sharp sword energy was emitted. Gai Nie was sitting upright on the couch, with Yuan Hong across his knees, the sword's tip slightly exposed, and a cold light was overflowing.

“What are the conditions?”

After a moment's silence, Gai Nie slowly opened his mouth.

Jing Ke, his only close friend, secretly entrusted him to take care of their unborn child before his death.

Gai Nie valued trust as much as his life, and had been searching for the whereabouts of Jing Ke's son for many years, but unfortunately there was no news.

Hearing this news from the Moon Goddess at this moment was not a good thing for him.

“No conditions required!”

"You can take it with you and leave now!"

The Moon Goddess shook her head slightly, indicating that there were no conditions and that Gai Nie just had to leave immediately.

"Now?"

Gai Nie was slightly surprised when he heard this, as the First Emperor was on his eastern tour at the time and the situation was delicate.

As the descendant of Guiguzi, Gai Nie is extremely intelligent.

He felt that an undercurrent conspiracy was brewing!

"I remember that you are a subordinate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although I don't know what your intentions are, they are definitely detrimental to the empire."

"Aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come after you to settle accounts?"

Gai Nie asked the Moon Goddess curiously, thinking that she should not forget how terrifying Ying Ziye was.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Upon hearing these four words, the Moon Goddess' body trembled, a look of fear flashed across her calm face, and the purple pupils hidden under the white veil involuntarily contracted.

"Afraid!"

“How can I not be afraid?!”

"However."

"His Excellency Donghuang has broken through to the immortal realm. If I do not obey your orders, I will die. If I can let His Excellency Donghuang gain more extraordinary power before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes out of retreat, I can ensure his safety."

The Moon Goddess's face was full of pain, revealing the secret in her heart.

How could she not be afraid of Ying Ziye?
If she hadn't been desperate, why would she decide to betray?

"This is a gamble with life at stake!" Gai Nie spoke in a low voice, having roughly understood the calculations of Yue Shen and Yin Yang Family. "The strong prey on the weak, I have no choice, right?"

The Moon Goddess' eyes were filled with helpless sadness.

Once upon a time, Ying Ziye's strength forced her to join his army, and she gradually drifted away from the Yin-Yang School.

Now that Donghuang Taiyi has been promoted to the realm of immortal on earth, she has no choice but to return to the Yin-Yang family.

The weak will never have the power to choose their own destiny!
"So……"

"What's your choice?"

"Will you continue to serve the Empire, or will you sacrifice your life for your friends?"

The Moon Goddess stared at Gai Nie. His choice was related to the success or failure of the entire plan. For a warrior in the Heavenly Man Realm, any disturbance would become a huge variable, especially for a sword master like Gai Nie!
Gai Nie was silent, picked up Yuanhong from his lap, walked out of the room slowly, and came before the Moon Goddess.

He didn't say a word, but his actions made his decision clear.

The Moon Goddess took out a letter and handed it to Gai Nie.

After taking the letter, Gai Nie tapped his toes and disappeared into the night in an instant.

"Ugh……"

"The weak are so pathetic!"

The Moon Goddess looked at Gai Nie's receding back, sighed softly with self-pity, and turned away.

Originally, the Yin-Yang School intended to use the poison to quietly corrode Ying Zheng's body, causing him to pass away quietly over the years.

However, the sudden arrival of the Eastern Tour and the assassination of Mohist scholars gave them a glimpse of new opportunities.

If Ying Zheng could be removed with the help of someone else, that would undoubtedly be the best option, and there would be no need to endure a long and unknown wait.

Without the protection of Gai Nie, a powerful person in the realm of heaven and man, the success rate of the assassination will definitely increase greatly!

This is the strategy of the Yin-Yang School!

……

The next day.

Gai Nie's disappearance was discovered by the guards, who immediately reported it to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Gai is missing!" The black-masked general of the Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guards reported to Ying Zheng.

"Gai Nie is missing?"

"What's going on? Have you looked for it?"

Ying Zheng frowned, obviously very unhappy with the news.

"Your Majesty, we have searched the surrounding area and found no trace of Mr. Gai!" The soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Guards reported truthfully.

"Gai Nie suddenly disappeared at this moment?" Ying Zheng frowned. He smelled a hint of something unusual, and then regained his composure.

"Ignore him and continue the Eastern Tour!"

"As ordered!"

As the guard of honor continued to move forward, Ying Zheng became increasingly alert.

The team slowly passed through Yangwu County and arrived at the ancient Bolang Sand Land.

The area is densely forested, full of swamps, and has undulating hills, making the terrain extremely dangerous. However, it happens to be the only way to go on the Eastern Tour.

"Send the order!"

"Be on high alert and stay vigilant!"

Veteran General Wang Jian was a veteran of many battles and had rich experience. He knew that this type of terrain was easy to set up an ambush, so he immediately ordered everyone to be on alert.

The Eastern Patrol Team moved cautiously along the jungle trails. The soldiers looked around, remained highly vigilant, and were ready to guard against possible crises at any time.
