Chapter 70 Gai Nie

To be honest, Su Qiubai was pretty good at singing. She even started a band with a buddy when she was in college, but then that buddy went abroad and never played again. Once she graduated, she completely forgot about singing.

Tonight, I don’t know why, but when I heard the tragic song of Jing Ke, the hero who was gone forever, I couldn’t help but sing this favorite song.

The melodious tune echoed in the forest.

Jing Ke, who was standing next to the carriage, was startled when he suddenly heard this song.

Although some people in Yan State knew about his trip, they were only a few after all. Could it be that his whereabouts were leaked?

Thinking of this, a dangerous light appeared in Jing Ke's eyes, and he turned around and looked in that direction.

But just at this moment, the singing in his ears was like an invisible string, causing fluctuations in his heart.

A shadow appeared in his mind, just like the sentence "How beautiful these tears are, only you know..."

During this trip to Xianyang to assassinate King Qin Yingzheng, he would definitely die, so there would always be some memories and nostalgia in his heart.

Heroes and beauties, beauties and strong drinks...

Inexplicably, Jing Ke forgot about alertness and danger, and just listened quietly, listening to the song echoing in the moonlight in the forest, until he finally saw the person singing.

"Who are you?"

Taking a step forward, Jing Ke looked at Su Qiubai and asked.

The old driver suddenly realized that Jing Ke was already behind him, and the sword might come out of his body in the next moment!

He is indeed the most famous assassin!

Although Jing Ke had no intention of taking action, just standing there made Su Qiubai feel like the hairs on his body were about to stand on end.

"Hehe... I... am a driver!"

Grinning, after all, he had experience in dealing with these celebrities, so Su Qiubai acted naturally.

Jing Ke here was stunned.

Driver... what is he?

Taking advantage of Jing Ke's daze, Su Qiubai walked next to him in a familiar manner.

"Sir, could it be the famous Jing Ke?"

As soon as these words came out, Jing Ke's expression immediately changed, and he even seemed to be about to pull out the sword.

"Who are you? Why do you know my name?"

Jing Ke's voice was very soft, but it was like a cold wind blowing through the forest, making Su Qiubai tense up again.

Without hesitation, he quickly explained.

"I just admire you! Nothing else! And...I'm here to help you!"

If the first two sentences had already made Jing Ke want to take action, then the next two sentences directly made him pull out the sword.

It can be heard that this person called the driver not only knows me, but also knows what he is planning to do on this trip!

There is no room for such people!

Su Qiubai here only felt a flash in front of him, and a sharp sword with a cold light was stabbing towards him.

The whole process was so fast that Su Qiubai didn't even see clearly what happened.

When he reacted again, the long sword was only a few centimeters away from his throat. Maybe in the next second... it would penetrate!

Madan... I'm here to help you!

To be honest, Su Qiubai is really aggrieved, but it is useless to be aggrieved now. If he really says one more thing and this guy kills him, it will be over!

At the critical moment, Su Qiubai suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a minute! I'm really here to help you. You should be waiting for someone, right? You would have waited for this person before setting off to Xianyang. That way you would be more confident, right?"

Su Qiubai almost shouted these words, because he could feel that Jing Ke was about to take action.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Jing Ke frowned.

This is indeed the case. He has been waiting for someone. If that person can go to Xianyang with him, he is very sure that he can kill Ying Zheng!

"Who are you?"

Jing Ke asked again.

"Put down your sword first, and then talk to me if you have something to say!"

Su Qiubai stared at Jing Ke helplessly, then slowly stretched out his hand to move the long sword at his throat.

This time, Jing Ke didn't do anything. With a wave of his right hand, the sword had returned to the scabbard.

Feeling relieved, Su Qiubai sat down on the ground.

It’s so scary!

After finally taking a breath, he looked up and saw Jing Ke next to him still looking at him coldly.

Su Qiubai understood that this guy was waiting for an explanation.

Without any hesitation, he stood up from the ground and explained, "I know that you went to Xianyang to kill Ying Zheng. To be honest... that guy is also my enemy, so I am willing to go with you to show that I With sincerity, I can bring the person you have been waiting for here."

Without any pause, Su Qiubai said all these words.

This was his plan. After checking a lot of information in the car, he discovered a mystery about Jing Ke's assassination of Qin.

It is said that before Jing Ke set out, he had been waiting for someone to come to Yan, but later Prince Dan thought that he was unwilling to assassinate the King of Qin, so he urged him many times.

In the end, in order to prove his determination, Jing Ke took Qin Wuyang directly and left Yan State without waiting for that person!

In addition, after Su Qiubai went to Xianyang, he learned from Ying Zheng that if Jing Ke could escape from the palace at that time, there would still be a glimmer of hope for his life.

This made Su Qiubai even more determined to find the friend Jing Ke mentioned. When the assassination of Qin fails, at least the two of them can be guaranteed to escape from the palace!

In this way...your mission is almost completed!

Su Qiubai's words made Jing Ke frown slightly. He was sure that he had not told anyone else about these things about himself. Even his good friend Gao Jianli didn't know who he was waiting for.

Does this person... really understand?

After a moment of silence, Jing Ke looked at Su Qiubai and asked.

"Do you know who I'm waiting for?"

As soon as he said these words, his eyes stared at the old driver motionless.

Su Qiubai's scalp tightened, and he understood that the most important time came next!

If I say the person's name wrong... maybe this guy will take action again!

Taking a deep breath, Su Qiubai said a name.

"Gane!"

Speaking of this person, Su Qiubai also knew it from historical materials.

You don't know it by looking at him, but you realize that there was such an awesome swordsman in the Spring and Autumn Period!

How powerful was this man? He actually had the title of the best swordsman in the world at that time!

Just from this name, you can already guess what his strength is!

Of course, it is only the speculation of many people that Ge Nie is the person Jing Ke is waiting for, and there is no evidence to prove this.

Su Qiubai is just taking a risk by saying it now.

As a result, after he finished speaking, Jing Ke looked calm.

There was silence in the forest for a long time, until Jing Ke started laughing.

Still not saying anything to Su Qiubai, he just turned around and walked towards the carriage.

The veteran driver felt confused. What did he mean by laughing a few times without saying anything?

But in the end, after some hesitation, he followed.

…

At this moment, a message suddenly popped up in an empty electronic control room.

“Unnamed system found to start driver’s license test!”

Almost as soon as this message appeared, an order was issued.

"Prevent the system from starting the exam and repair it immediately!"

"Stop failure...the exam has begun!"

This time, it took several minutes before the order was given.

"Upgrade the difficulty of the exam!"

…

Su Qiubai didn't know that he was just taking the upgrade test for the D license, but that the difficulty had been secretly upgraded to a full level.

In other words, he is now equivalent to taking the C license exam.

Of course, he didn't know this. At this moment, the old driver was already driving behind Jing Ke, heading towards Xianyang...!

Following the slow carriage in front of her, Su Qiubai sat in the cab of her taxi and still didn't understand what Jing Ke meant.

He did not reject Su Qiubai's idea of ​​going together to assassinate Ying Zheng, but he also did not agree!

So there is the current situation.

The strangest thing is that Jing Ke didn't ask Su Qiubai to pick up Gai Nie!

Therefore, Su Qiubai still doesn't know whether the person Jing Ke has been waiting for is the best swordsman in the world at this time!

After walking for about half a day, the carriage finally stopped.

There are not many people in this era, not to mention the continuous battles, so there are almost no people on their way forward.

The car stopped at the same location as yesterday, just finding a sheltered position in the wild mountains.

Seeing Jing Ke jump out of the car, Su Qiubai also got out of the car.

He now has a lot of questions that he wants to ask clearly. If Jing Ke can't figure it out, then all subsequent missions will definitely be full of dangers!

Seeing Su Qiubai coming over, Jing Ke's face was still calm.

This made the old driver feel very depressed. He had been following him shamelessly for a long time, but this man still looked unmoved, looking as if he didn't even know that Su Qiubai existed.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Can you tell me? This is so embarrassing!"

He couldn't care less, so Su Qiubai stood directly in front of Jing Ke, stared at him and asked.

Glancing at Qin Wuyang next to him, Jing Ke suddenly started laughing again, and then asked, "What did you sing last night?"

Somewhat stunned, Su Qiubai said, "If you want to know what song it is, just tell me honestly. Are you willing to take me with you to assassinate Ying Zheng?"

The showdown had already been made, so Su Qiubai asked without any scruples.

Qin Wuyang had always been wondering why this inexplicable person was following them, but now after hearing this, he pulled out the sword without hesitation.

But before he could draw his sword at Su Qiubai, Jing Ke blocked him.

"I agreed!"

This sentence made the two people next to him stunned. However, Su Qiubai started laughing, while Qin Wuyang was just the opposite.

"Sir, this..."

Halfway through his words, he was blocked by Jing Ke.

"No need to say more, I believe him."

At the last sentence, Jing Ke kept looking at Su Qiubai, which made the old driver a little confused.

Isn't this promise a bit too sudden?

But... just agree!

Thinking that she was one step closer to completing the task, Su Qiubai couldn't help laughing.

"Then you wait here, I'll go pick up Gai Nie!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jing Ke to speak again, Su Qiubai walked directly towards his taxi, jumped into the car, drove forward to avoid the two people, and immediately started the shuttle!

After Su Qiubai's shadow was no longer visible, Qin Wuyang couldn't help but look back at Jing Ke and asked.

"Sir, the origin of this person is unknown, and he actually knows that we are going to assassinate King Qin. If the news leaks..."

Just as he said this, he was interrupted again by Jing Ke.

"This man won't harm me, and his singing... won't be fake!"

No one could have imagined that Jing Ke's trust in Su Qiubai would come from that song, but people in this era are inherently emotional, otherwise there would be no such thing as the wind is swaying, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone. The poems have been passed down through the ages.

What's more, Jing Ke was originally a person who liked fencing and musical instruments, so when he heard Su Qiubai's song, he had already decided to trust this person who was inexplicably called the driver.

"But, the person you are waiting for...is not Gai Nie at all!"

Suddenly, Qin Wuyang said again.

Jing Ke's expression became much more solemn, but then he relaxed again.

"Although Gai Nie is at odds with me, his swordsmanship is indeed superb. If this driver can invite him over, then the certainty of assassinating King Qin will definitely be greater!"

Jing Ke did not mention his friend, but instead talked about Gai Nie.

Qin Wuyang didn't say much, but there seemed to be something strange in his eyes...

Su Qiubai on the other side didn't know that the changes caused by the increased difficulty of the exam had come. Instead, he felt that everything was going according to his plan.

After inviting Gai Nie, he can ask him to go to Xianyang Palace with Jing Ke. When Tu Qiong Dian sees him, he can rush out of the palace as soon as possible and run to Ting Fengxuan's position!

When the time comes, enter the underground secret passage from here, and then drive a taxi from the secret passage directly back to your own era!

The mission is accomplished!

Thinking of this, the old driver couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart, and the navigation also followed the prompts and arrived at Gai Nie's home.

After jumping out of the car, he shouted several times inside, but strangely, no one answered.

This made Su Qiubai a little strange. It seemed that he couldn't find the target of all the words he had prepared before.

Gai Nie's home was a very ordinary small courtyard. After hesitating, Su Qiubai walked in.

He continued to shout, but no one spoke.

After he entered the house, he confirmed who it was!

But very strangely, the cup of tea on the table is still hot!

It was obvious that maybe a few minutes ago, Gai Nie was still here, but now...he left because of something urgent.

Su Qiubai immediately used navigation to locate Gai Nie's location, but the final result was very strange.

This person was not found!

Not giving up, Su Qiubai started positioning for the second time, but the result was still the same!

impossible? Could it be that Gai Nie is also staying somewhere that blocks the signal?

After thinking for a long time without getting any suitable answer, Su Qiubai had no choice but to leave.

Almost at the same time, Gai Nie, who was originally prepared to be picked up by the old driver, urged his horse to rush towards Xianyang.

As for why... maybe only he himself knows!

…

After returning to Jing Ke, Jing Ke was not surprised when he heard that Gai Nie was not found.

From the beginning, he felt that Su Qiubai would not really bring Ge Nie, after all, this matter was too difficult.

As for the veteran driver, he felt a little depressed.

She wanted to explain something to Jing Ke, but after seeing that he didn't seem to care much, Su Qiubai didn't say much.

But since Gai Nie was not found, he must now think of a better way to ensure that he can successfully fight his way out of Xianyang Palace!

But after thinking about it, he didn't know who he should go to for help!

Night has come again.

The night in the mountains is not as dark as expected, but it is a bit cold.

Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were in the carriage, while Su Qiubai ran back to his taxi.

Although he wanted to take Jing Ke directly to Xianyang, the system required him to follow Jing Ke, so he had to do this!

After closing the car door and leaning on the seat, Su Qiubai began to think about her previous problems.

How should we ensure that Jing Ke leaves Xianyang Palace smoothly after his assassination?

A few minutes passed in silence.

Suddenly, Su Qiubai heard a scream!

And the direction from which the sound came... was surprisingly that carriage!

…

In the uninhabited alley in Qinghe City, as night fell, the bodies of the warriors were finally found.

"Are you sure it's just them?"

Standing next to the corpse, a young man with a cold face and a thin body asked.

"It's been determined, it's them... it should be that woman who did it!"

The person talking next to him was a short man. He looked at the young man next to him with obvious fear in his eyes.

"What a bunch of trash, she's already injured! How can she be killed by them all!"

Suddenly, the young man became furious, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his tone.

Several people nearby were frightened, and they all did not dare to make a sound and waited quietly.

After about a few more minutes, the young man took his eyes away from the corpse.

"Guan Shanhu is also in Qinghe City?"

Immediately, the little dwarf replied, "Yes, my junior brother sent news before that he found that woman here. It seems that the news is not wrong."

After hearing this, the young man seemed to be thinking about something.

"Why does he know the whereabouts of that woman? Also...where is she now?"

"This junior brother didn't say anything. They are staying in Chunhe Garden and waiting for us."

Without any hesitation, the little man said immediately.

"Okay, then go find them now! This woman must not be allowed to leave Qinghe City. Such things... must be obtained!"

After saying that, several people disposed of the body and left quickly.

These people are Guan Shanhu's fellow seniors, and that young man is the senior senior brother he once mentioned before: Cold Kill!

He is also the person in charge of chasing Mu Chunxue this time!

When they went to meet Guan Shanhu, Mu Chunxue was hiding in a small guest house.

She was completely frightened.

The sudden appearance of those warriors from before made her feel like she was dead!

Because she is indeed the most ordinary warrior, even less powerful than Guan Shanhu!

But no one expected that at the most dangerous moment, the iron ball she had been carrying with her would suddenly explode!

Those warriors all died on the spot, but Mu Chunxue was unscathed!

Then, the iron beads that had obviously exploded came together again inexplicably.

This kind of thing was completely beyond Mu Chunxue's imagination, and she was petrified at the time.

However, after realizing the danger she might face next, she forced herself to calm down, put away the iron beads and quickly left the alley.

After finding a random small guest house and staying in it, Mu Chunxue began to feel fear.

She knew that the killer would definitely keep coming!

Not only was it a killer, she was even more worried about whether something would go wrong with the iron bead. After all, it was a bit unbelievable to think that it would explode suddenly before.

Closing the window, she sat on the edge of the bed wondering what she should do next.

Or...where should she go next!

She had no clue about the person her master was talking about. She felt that if she continued walking aimlessly like this, the final result would be to be killed by a killer!

After looking at the iron bead again, she suddenly thought of the taxi driver again.

The most important thing is his last words.

"If you need any help, just come to me..."

Inexplicably, Mu Chunxue felt a desire.

She wanted to find that person, so that she could at least calm down.

Thinking of this, Mu Chunxue left the guest house without hesitation.

She remembered Su Qiubai's address very clearly, so soon... she was downstairs.

…

At this moment, the old driver didn't know that the cold girl was back to look for him again.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt dumbfounded.

Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were both poisoned!

Both of them were livid, and they were sitting cross-legged in the carriage, hoping for luck to force the poison out.

What was even more depressing was that Jing Ke's eyes were normal, while Qin Wuyang stared at Su Qiubai as if he wanted to stand up and kill him immediately.

As for why Qin Wuyang is like this, the veteran driver can completely understand.

According to normal people's thinking, there are three of them, and now Su Qiubai is the only one who is fine. Of course it was him who poisoned him!

"This poison was not administered."

The old driver spread his hands helplessly, feeling very innocent.

However, this explanation seemed to have no effect at all, Qin Wuyang still stared at him.

"I have the antidote in my bag."

Suddenly, Jing Ke spoke.

Without hesitation, Su Qiubai quickly took out the things as he said.

Sure enough, after giving it to them both, things got much better.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Su Qiubai was about to ask, but Qin Wuyang's sword had already stabbed towards his chest.
