Inside the No. 30 mansion, Qin Shi Huang, King Qi Wen, King Zhao Kang, Crown Prince Crown Prince Yan Xun, Qiu Yunzi stood in front of the hall, looking at the corpses scattered on the ground outside. They were surrounded by many guards from Wantong Trading Market, as well as Luan Feng, a Mysterious Bookstore employee who arrived at the scene in time.

Everyone wore a solemn expression, especially the four kings. Although they were all standing in front of the hall, they kept a distance between each other intentionally or unintentionally, and their expressions were very focused, as if they were afraid of being ambushed by others.

"General Luanfeng, who sent this assassin?" King Zhao Kang spoke first in the heavy atmosphere, trying to break the awkward silence.

Yes, they were attacked by assassins tonight, and the Thirtieth Mansion was in chaos. Fortunately, their cultivation was not low, and with Luan Feng's timely arrival, they were able to repel the assassins, leaving behind a pile of corpses. As for the leaders, they had long since disappeared.

Luan Feng shook her head expressionlessly. The opponent's strength was exceptionally high, and he had concealed it very well, so she didn't know who he was.

"That's a real pity. Since we can't find the real culprit behind the assassination, let's not linger here any longer. It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest," King Zhao Kang said with a regretful expression.

"Maybe not."

Yan Xun suddenly walked over to a corpse lying on the ground, rummaged through it for a while, and pulled out a gilded token. Looking at King Zhao Kang, he said meaningfully, "If I'm not mistaken, this gold token should come from the Shenzhao Prison Bureau, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward King Zhao Kang, including Luan Feng.

King Zhao Kang was taken aback, then gave an awkward smile and said, "Prince Yan Xun is joking. If the assassin were truly sent by our Zhao State, how could he be so careless as to wear the token on his person? This is clearly a thief trying to frame our Zhao State!"

"Perhaps it's a trap within a trap?" Yan Xun said with a smile.

The smile on King Zhao Kang's face gradually faded, and he calmly said, "Does Prince Yan Xun mean that the assassin was sent by my Zhao State?"

"I didn't say that." Yan Xun shrugged, acting as if it were none of his business.

"What's all the noise about? Why aren't you Rest at night?" Ma Feifei's voice came from outside the courtyard. Everyone immediately turned to look, and Luan Feng stepped out of the hall and walked towards Ma Feifei.

"Shopkeeper!" Upon seeing Ma Feifei appear, everyone bowed and greeted him, even the silent Qin Shi Huang made a gesture of respect.

"Whoever sent them, as long as you all get along peacefully, that's all that matters. Everyone, please rest assured that during the contract period, our Mysterious Bookstore will be responsible for everyone's safety, so don't have any ulterior motives. Just get through these three months, and then you can fight back however you want."

Ma Feifei didn't want to know who was behind this, because it had nothing to do with him. Besides, what if it turned out to be an assassin sent by one of the people in the Thirty Mansions?

Therefore, the best approach is to pretend to be deaf and dumb, kill them one by one, or two by two, and don't bother interrogating them about who sent them. Be decisive, efficient, and straightforward.

Since the shop owner had spoken, no one could continue arguing. They all agreed with each other for a few moments and then went back to their rooms to Rest.

Ma Feifei watched the group leave, feeling a bit of a headache. These people were really dishonest. Not only did they hide their talents during the day, but they also schemed against each other at night, even trying to kill each other.

"Shopkeeper, news just came from Wantong Trading Market that Qin Shuren has been released and appointed as the Great General of the Yan Expedition. He has already headed to the front lines." Luan Feng came to Ma Feifei's side and whispered the news.

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei frowned and asked, "Who is Qin Shuren? Is he very powerful?"

Luan Feng nodded and replied, "Qin Shuren was known as the Human Butcher. Since he led the army into battle, he has never lost a single battle. When he won a battle against the enemy, he never accepted prisoners; he always ordered them to be buried. According to statistics, Qin Shuren fought for the Qin State for many years, and the number of enemy soldiers and even civilians who died at his hands has reached millions. He not only terrified the enemy, but also caused most of the officials in the Qin State to impeach him. In the end, Qin Shi Huang ordered him to be stripped of his position and imprisoned to repent."

"Tsk tsk." Ma Feifei couldn't help but smack his lips after hearing Luan Feng's words. This was practically a crossover of Bai Qi from another world!

However, this is indeed not good news. If Qin Shuren takes over the army to attack Yan and stabilizes the hearts of the generals, it will definitely be a disaster for the Yan State.

After all, the Yan State was weaker than the Qin State, and with its king captured and its army demoralized, it was inevitable that friction would arise between its allies with the Northern Liang Army without a direct superior, making it difficult to work together.

Under these circumstances, the Yan State was absolutely unable to withstand an attack from the State of Qin State.

"How about this, remind the two brothers, Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun, as a small contribution you, as a citizen of Yan State, can make to the Yan State," Ma Feifei said to Luan Feng after thinking for a moment.

Although Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun will also know this news in a few days, it will probably be too late by then. Telling them now in time will allow them to take precautions in advance.

Then there's Luan Feng. Although she has left Yan State, she is still Yan State. If the Qin State army were commanded by General Bai Ling, it would be fine, but it is the Human Butcher Qin Shuren. Luan Feng can't help but worry about the people of Yan State, fearing that they won't even have a chance to surrender and will be buried alive by Qin Shuren.

"Yes, shopkeeper." Luan Feng replied with a cupped hand, her tone more relaxed.

Seeing this, Ma Feifei stopped in her tracks, paused, and said, "If you want to help them, the Bookstore can give you a year-end leave."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Luan Feng bowed again.

Ma Feifei waved his hand and led Yun Qingyang out of the mansion, heading towards the Mysterious Bookstore.

Luan Feng stood in front of the hall, watching Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang's disappearing figures, and lingered for a long time.

In the following days, the Mysterious Bookstore remained bustling with activity, with crowds packed around the thirty-six important figures. Even at Qin Shi Huang's table, cultivators gathered to watch. After all, over the past few days, everyone had figured out the rules of the 'Walking Books' event and knew that Qin Shi Huang wouldn't dare to do anything to them.

In addition, many people have gained a lot from these books in the past two days. Besides the demigod-level cultivation technique that Yan Xun learned for the first time, many ninth-order spiritual weapons, even demigod artifacts, as well as various rare ninth-order cultivation techniques and martial arts skills have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, greatly stimulating the hearts of the onlookers and making the event more and more popular.

The thirty-six people were utterly speechless, because after they had all created the three books, these three books were now lying on the table with nowhere to hide, no longer under their control. As long as customers paid enough, they could freely choose any of the three books to read, and it was none of their business.

Even giving Spirit Crystal to the other party like Yan Xun did before is no longer feasible. After all, if people can afford to read books, they certainly don't need your Spirit Crystal. In comparison, what people hope to gain more benefits by reading these books is to do so.

So they are actually in a semi-retired state now, and apart from collecting money, they have nothing else to do.

But people can't be idle; if they're idle, trouble is bound to happen, especially for important figures like them.
