Chapter 540 Ghost Valley

Xianyang.

Changping Junfu.

The sun sets in the west and the light of dusk is dazzling.

In the study room, there is a curtain, and the bamboo shadows are dancing in the garden.

Lord Changping clasped his hands behind his back, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, looking at the scene in the courtyard, his whole body seemed to be frozen in the gap of time.

Until the sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of the dusk.

"The envoy from Yan has entered Xianyang."

Chang Wenjun was behind and spoke softly. Changpingjun and Changpingjun grew up together, and Changwenjun is very familiar with him. Whenever he faces a major decision, Changpingjun looks like this.

"This matter has nothing to do with us."

"Brother, don't worry."

The Chu clan has declined, but it still has a certain power in Xianyang. However, this power is not as popular as before.

At this moment, in the courtyard outside the study, servants from Lord Changping's mansion suddenly arrived, looking very anxious.

Chang Wenjun walked out, whispered to the servant, and soon returned to the study.

Only this time, Chang Wenjun's footsteps were obviously much faster.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Lord Changwen was very familiar with Lord Changping, and so was Lord Changping. Chang Pingjun didn't look back. Just by listening to the footsteps, he could sense the urgency in Chang Wenjun's heart at this time.

"The spies came to report that on that day Zhao Shuang summoned the governors of Handan, Julu and Hengshan counties to the mansion. After discussing the affairs of Zhao's land, he disappeared."

There was a snap.

The bamboo slips that were held tightly in Lord Changping's hand suddenly fell down.

In the dark night, several shadows walked between the houses. Finally, he landed in a remote alley.

"grown ups!"

Under the moonlight, a man wearing light armor and carrying a long sword turned around. The man's young face showed vicissitudes of life and heaviness that no one of his age had.

As a general of the Qin State and one of the leaders of the Shadow Guards, Zhang Han has been guarding the order in the dark night. Unlike other generals who risk life and death on the battlefield, the Shadow Guard's job is more dangerous.

"How is the envoy from Yan State?"

"The envoy of Yan seems to be eager to see the king to discuss peace. Recently, he has been spreading gold and silver to bribe important ministers in Xianyang."

"Who did they bribe?"

"The most important one among them is the concubine Meng Jia."

Zhang Han groaned, his face looking even heavier. The concubine is a close official of the royal family, but Zhang Han is not afraid of people with this official position.

"Montessori?"

The Meng family was deeply trusted by King Qin, but they got involved in this matter. During Yan's peace talks, the Shadow Guards found some anomalies from clues.

Although Zhang Han didn't understand at this time, what did these anomalies represent?

"Sir, there is one more thing. Luo Wang has been acting abnormally recently."

"A snare?"

As an organization parallel to the Shadow Guards, Luowen has little interaction with them. However, they are all secret organizations, and they are somewhat competitive. It is even common to secretly send secret agents to the other organization.

"My subordinates received intelligence that more than 300 third-level Luowen assassins who had just completed their missions from various places and were preparing to return to Guanzhong to recuperate were suddenly transferred urgently and went to Zhao Di."

"Do you know why?"

"The net is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so we are very careful about this matter. However, in the land of Yanzhao, and even south of the river, the spies and Jianghu forces of Wei and Chu have all moved for some reason. Among these Jianghu forces, Nongjia and Yanmo are the leaders.”

"Things are getting interesting."

Zhang Han did not think that so many forces would unite and advance and retreat together. However, behind the complicated Jianghu situation, there must be a breaking point that drives the entire situation.

Just, what is it?

In the deep mountains and old forests, a snagged assassin fell under the treetops, surrounded by poisonous snakes.

A coquettish woman slowly moved forward, smiling seductively in the frightened eyes of the snare assassin.

"This is no place for a snare."

The Luowang assassin seemed to notice something and shouted.

"Fire Charm! You..."

However, it was a little late after all. In the woman's seductive smile, the assassin in this trap fell into the illusion, and his heart was soon broken.

After the woman got what she wanted from the snare assassin, she turned around and left, heading deeper into the forest.

As the woman walked deeper and deeper, the scenery she saw was not filled with smoke. In this ancient forest, there is a small city.

Former soldiers of the White Armor Army, now members of Quicksand, guard the roads around this small town.

As Chi Lian walked into the city, he saw an ancient palace.

Relying on astonishing financial resources, Wei Zhuang restored an ancient city in this deep mountain and ancient forest as the headquarters of Liusha.

In the center of the ancient palace, there is a throne.

At this time, Wei Zhuang was sitting on it, looking down on the world.

"Have you found the reason?"

"Luo Wang's unusual behavior has caused turmoil in the world, and it's all because of one person."

"Zhao Shuang?"

Chi Lian was shocked. This was the first time she heard this name from Wei Zhuang in so many years.

"When you are angry, the princes will be afraid; if you live in peace, the world will be at peace."

Wei Zhuang chanted slowly, with a bit of arrogance on his face.

Chi Lian looked at Wei Zhuang at this time, and there were some emotions on his face that Chi Lian didn't understand.

"We are not from the Guigu Valley, but every move we make is more like that from the Guigu Valley than me and Gai Nie."

What's going on with this feeling? I always feel so unhappy!

Chi Lian looked at Wei Zhuang and felt that the man she liked cared more about another man than herself.

Feixue Pavilion.

"Dabao, this gentleman wants a bottle of wine."

"I'm coming!"

…

Gao Jianli walked into Feixue Pavilion as before, but there was an unfamiliar figure in front of him.

This young boy, who was probably in his twenties, was wearing the clothes of a boy in Feixue Pavilion and was welcoming people off.

Gao Jianli is not a gossipy person. Until, he heard such a conversation from the two female servants.

"I heard that this boy is the lover of the Snow Maiden."

"How can it be?"

A female servant girl never seemed to have thought that how could that frosty snow girl have a lover?

"When did you see Miss Snow Girl bringing a man into the pavilion?"

"This... I've never seen it before."

In the end, the maid who didn't believe it before couldn't resist the other maid's reasons and was persuaded.

"What's more! Even though this man is doing the things of a servant, Miss Xue Nu is very kind to him. The meals prepared for him every day are the best, and even Yi Ren Zui, who Xue Nu is reluctant to drink on weekdays, is so kind to him. Send them over one bottle at a time.”

The maid became more and more enthusiastic as she talked.

"Also, I once saw a snow girl lure him into her room, saying she wanted to ask for advice. Who are you kidding?"

"that……"

The two maids were gossiping, but were interrupted by a voice. They looked for a voice and saw Gao Jianli, who had always been taciturn, looking at them and bowed.

"gentlemen!"

Gao Jianli originally wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it and left silently.
