Ying Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp gaze swept through the people in the tent, and finally fell on Li Tao, and his voice was low and majestic: "Li Tao, I will assign you two secret guards, and you must find out this force. If you can use it for me, that's the best. If not..." He paused, and said in a cold tone, "Then uproot them!"
Li Tao knelt on one knee and clasped his fists to receive the order: "I accept your order!"
As night fell, Li Tao, dressed in night clothes, moved through the enemy camp like a ghost. Following Ying Yuan's instructions, he avoided the patrolling soldiers and headed straight for the enemy commander's tent.
The enemy's main general was named Wang Jian, a veteran general of the State of Zhao, experienced in the use of troops and resourceful. It would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to get information from him.
However, who is Li Tao? He is the most capable spy around Ying Yuan, and his stealth and tracking skills are perfect. A mere military camp cannot trap him.
He quietly sneaked into Wang Jian's tent, but found it empty. Just as he was wondering, a low conversation came from the next tent, and one of the voices was old and familiar, it was Wang Jian!
Li Tao's heart moved, and he quietly walked to the outside of the next tent. He held his breath, put his ear to the tent, and listened carefully to the conversation inside.
"General, do we really want to follow their plan?" A young voice asked with a hint of hesitation and uneasiness.
Wang Jian's deep voice sounded: "At this point, we have no way out. Success or failure depends on this one move. As long as the plan succeeds, Zhao will be able to get rid of the threat from Qin!"
"But..." The young voice hesitated.
"No buts!" Wang Jian interrupted him sharply, "Do you want to watch Zhao being annexed by Qin?"
"I dare not!" The young voice immediately became respectful.
"Then follow the plan! Remember, success or failure depends on this one move, there must be no mistakes!"
"Yes!"
Li Tao's heart was filled with shock. The information revealed in Wang Jian's words was too shocking. He had to report the matter to Ying Yuan as soon as possible!
He cautiously retreated from the tent and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a fierce murderous aura coming at him!
not good! Found!
Li Tao was startled and had no time to think. He dodged the cold light coming from behind.
He looked back and saw a man in black clothes with a stern face, holding a sword and staring at him coldly.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into our military camp!" The man in black said in a cold and murderous tone.
Li Tao knew that his identity was exposed and he had no way out, so he stopped hiding and sneered, "The one who wants you dead!"
Before he finished speaking, he moved as fast as lightning, took the initiative to attack, and engaged in a fight with the man in black.
Both of them were masters, and every move they made was ruthless and deadly. For a moment, the air was filled with the gleam of swords and the presence of murderous intent.
Although Li Tao was highly skilled in martial arts, the man in black was clearly better. After several rounds, Li Tao was at a disadvantage, with several wounds on his body and his clothes stained with blood.
"Hmph, you overestimate your abilities!" The man in black snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand turned into a flash of lightning, piercing Li Tao's throat!
Li Tao had no way to avoid it, and could only watch the long sword getting closer and closer to him...
At the critical moment, a black shadow flashed by, and a white and slender hand appeared out of thin air, lightly grasping the tip of the sword of the man in black.
"Who?!" The man in black was horrified. This sudden change was completely beyond his expectations. The other party's speed was so fast that he couldn't even see the person's movements clearly!
Li Tao was also stunned. He looked up and saw a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and a hat, whose face could not be seen, standing in front of him, blocking the fatal blow from the man in black.
The man in black tried to draw back his sword, but found that his sword was as if clamped by an iron clamp and could not move at all!
"Who are you? Why are you interfering in this matter?!" The man in black was horrified and his tone was full of fear. The mysterious man did not speak, but slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of cold and ruthless eyes, and said in a tone as cold as ice: "Kill your people!"
After he finished speaking, the mysterious man exerted a little force with his palm, and with a crisp "crack" sound, the long sword made of fine steel was actually broken!
The man in black was horrified. Before he could react, the mysterious man made a lightning-fast move and slapped him on the chest!
"Puff!" The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He fell heavily to the ground, and his life or death was unknown.
Li Tao stared at this scene in amazement, and was extremely shocked. Who on earth was this mysterious man? How could he possess such terrifying strength?
After the mysterious man dealt with the man in black, he turned around and slowly walked towards Li Tao.
Li Tao's heart trembled, and he asked cautiously: "Who are you?"
The mysterious man walked up to Li Tao, slowly took off his hat, revealing a stunning face that could captivate the whole country.
"You..." Li Tao was stunned. He had seen this face before and was deeply impressed because she was...
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin?" Li Tao's voice trembled slightly because of shock.
The mysterious man in front of him, with that stunningly beautiful face, is none other than the current ruler of the Qin Dynasty, King Qin Ying Yuan!
Ying Yuan glanced at him coldly, without answering, and threw the broken sword in his hand to the ground, making a crisp "clang" sound. He walked to the black-clothed man, looking down at him, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
The man in black was obviously seriously injured, with blood constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still held on with all his strength and said through gritted teeth: "Humph, you can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you! It's wishful thinking to want to get any information from me!"
Ying Yuan sneered, squatted down, and gently stroked the black scarf on the black-clothed man's face with his slender fingers. His tone was as cold as ice: "It seems that you don't want to drink the toast, so you have to drink the penalty."
Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Ying Yuan's eyes. He made a lightning-fast move, grabbed the black-clothed man's chin and twisted it hard!
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the black-clothed man's jaw was crushed and his screams stopped abruptly.
Li Tao was stunned watching from the side. He had never seen such cruel means before, and his awe for Ying Yuan increased a little more.
Ying Yuan stood up, without even looking at the body of the man in black on the ground, and simply ordered: "Deal with him cleanly."
"Yes!" Li Tao bowed and accepted the order.
After dealing with the body of the man in black, Li Tao walked up to Ying Yuan, knelt on one knee, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Ying Yuan turned around, the moonlight shining on his handsome face made him look even colder and more ruthless: "General Li, you should know that the less you know about some things, the better."
Li Tao's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes, I understand."
Ying Yuan ignored him and just looked up at the bright moon in the sky, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Wang Jian, what exactly do you want to do?" Ying Yuan muttered to himself, his tone full of fear and doubt. (End of this chapter)
