Murdering Qin Shi Huang
Yan Xun sat on the stool, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Qin Shi Huang not far away. His lips parted slightly, and a whisper entered the ears of Crown Prince Yan.
"How about we kill Qin Shi Huang?"
Crown Prince Yan, who was closing his eyes, was startled when he suddenly heard Yan Xun's telepathic message. He opened his eyes and glanced at Yan Xun, his face full of surprise.
"What? Are you still planning to back down? If you keep backing down, the Yan State will really be gone." Yan Xun's voice transmission reached Crown Prince Yan's ears again. Crown Prince Yan was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
Last night, Luan Feng had already informed them that Qin Shi Huang had released the Human Butcher Qin Shuren from prison and appointed him to lead the army against Yan. Based on the timeline, Qin Shuren Human Butcher should have already arrived at the border between Qin State and Yan State and taken over the army against Yan.
When news arrives from Yan State tomorrow, it will likely be the result of a battle between the two armies.
However, the fighting strength of Qin State and Yan State was not matched. In addition, the alliance between Northern Liang and Yan State against Qin State was weaker than that of Qin State, and there were constant frictions between them. When Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan were alive, it was better to control the two armies and make them obedient.
But now, he and Yan Xun have been kidnapped and brought to the Mysterious Bookstore. Without them, the two armies are like wild horses that have broken free. If they were to really fight, how could they possibly work together? The outcome would be predictable.
"But even if we could kill Qin Shi Huang, it would probably be too late by then!" Crown Prince Yan replied telepathically. In fact, killing Qin Shi Huang was an extremely difficult task, not to mention that according to the current timeline, even if they succeeded in killing Qin Shi Huang, the Qin State army would have already started a war with Yan State, and the outcome might already be decided, with Qin State's iron cavalry marching into Changping and invading Yan State's territory.
"Killing him now would at most inflict a heavy blow on the Yan State. Once the Qin State knows that Qin Shi Huang is dead, they will definitely force Qin Shuren to withdraw his troops, since this war was Qin Shi Huang's own decision to wage. However, if we do not kill Qin Shi Huang now, and wait until the Qin Army enters Changping City and the Qin State sees the dawn of victory, then the entire Qin State will unite to support Qin Shi Huang, and the Yan State will only face destruction."
Yan Xun transmitted his thoughts earnestly, knowing full well that once the Yan State allied forces lost their leadership, they would certainly be unable to select a commander whom both the Northern Liang Army and Yan Army could trust, so it was inevitable that the two armies would not be of one mind.
They had already struggled to resist the Qin Army's attacks when they were still there, let alone now that they were gone. The Yan State allied forces were certainly no match for the Qin Army cavalry, so Yan Xun thought of killing Qin Shi Huang to stop the Qin Army from continuing to attack Yan State.
"But how can we possibly kill Qin Shi Huang?" Crown Prince Yan asked hesitantly. Qin Shi Huang's strength had already reached the Spirit Saint realm, while the two of them were only at the Spirit Venerable realm. There was a difference of two major levels between them. Let alone killing Qin Shi Huang, it would be a problem even if they could touch Qin Shi Huang's sleeve.
"Qin Shi Huang was so arrogant, I'm sure many people harbor some resentment towards him. If we can entice them with benefits, they might just lend us a hand. Besides..." At this point, Yan Xun glanced casually into the Mysterious Bookstore, his voice soft as Yan Xun said this, "Isn't your Luan Feng here too? Ask her for a favor, I think you should be able to do it, right?"
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Yan couldn't help but sigh, shaking his head and transmitting his voice, "Luan Feng has already severed ties with me; she won't help us."
"Of course, we don't need her help." Yan Xun smiled and transmitted his voice, "We just need her not to interfere in saving Qin Shi Huang."
When Crown Prince Yan heard this, he was somewhat puzzled. Yan Xun did not speak, but instead pointed to the side of Crown Prince Yan.
Crown Prince Yan turned his head and saw that sitting next to him was Zuo Duanshou, the Qi State's Number One Villain. When Crown Prince Yan turned to look at him, Zuo Duanshou and made a beheading gesture under the table.
Crown Prince Yan was startled and was about to turn around when he caught a glimpse of the Dragon Tiger Gate Sect Master sitting next to the Zuo Duanshou. He saw that the man also had a meaningful smile on his face and was making a throat-cutting gesture with his hand over his neck.
Crown Prince Yan's feelings grew increasingly complicated. He turned back and gave Yan Xun a deep look, then replied, "It seems you had already planned this all along."
This is Dubian Town. Finding a few fighters at the Spirit Saint level isn't difficult, but the biggest challenge is that all thirty-six of them are protected by the Mysterious Bookstore. With the Mysterious Bookstore's protection, none of them can be in any danger.
Because between residences number 30 and 35, there are either Luan Feng or Sky-reaching Ape Monkey on night watch every day.
The former has a record of slaying Legendary Beasts Conferred Saint -handedly, while the latter is Divine Beast from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, whose cultivation level is so high that even a Saint cannot defeat it. In particular, after becoming the guardian Divine Beast of the Mysterious Bookstore, it obtained a set of divine artifacts, and its combat power increased several times over.
It can be said that unless Cang Lan, the Grand Dean of the Vast Academy who has already entered the Immortal Realm, takes action, given the current strength of cultivators on the Azure Dragon Continent, no one can pose any threat to the thirty-six people in the mansion under their defense.
As for daytime, needless to say, Cang Lan would have to kneel down in front of the Mysterious Bookstore.
"Of course. Our Great Yan dynasty has been passed down for over five thousand years. How can it be destroyed in our hands? As long as you can persuade Luan Feng to stand by and do nothing, I can make Qin Shi Huang die in Dubian Town. What do you say?" Yan Xun tapped his fingers lightly on his knees, looking around as if he were utterly bored.
Crown Prince Yan remained silent for a long while before replying, "I am not confident that I can let Luan Feng stand idly by. She told me that from now on, everything concerning the Yan State will have nothing to do with her anymore."
"Are you stupid? If she didn't care about the Yan State, why would she tell us all this last night?" Yan Xun was furious at his son's lack of self-respect and turned to glare angrily at Crown Prince Yan.
"Is that so?" Crown Prince Yan was slightly pleased. He turned his head and glanced inside the Bookstore. His position was not far from the entrance, and he could see part of the scene inside the Bookstore through a small gap.
Coincidentally, the direction Crown Prince Yan was looking was exactly where the Luan Feng was.
The two locked eyes, Luan Feng's eyes filled with calm, Crown Prince Yan's gaze was incredibly complex.
"You'll help us, won't you?" Crown Prince Yan murmured to himself.
"Yes, she is from Yan State, and you two grew up together. Even though she has left Yan State now, it is still the place where she was born and raised. She won't abandon you to your death. Go, I'll wait for your good news." Yan Xun's Captivate voice reached Crown Prince Yan's ears, and made Crown Prince Yan make up his mind completely.
"Good!"
