9710 Chapter 9709-
Lin Yi secretly made a judgment. Although he didn’t know how strong Xu Anshan was when he went all out, he was at least on the same level as half-master Luo and Xiang Yusheng. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sit firmly in the first seat of the Academy!
However, in this case, the previous plan would have to be overturned. At first, he thought that the key to reenacting Jing Ke’s assassination of the Qin Dynasty was to let the assassins of Yan Kingdom get close to the King of Qin. But now it seemed that even if they succeeded in getting close, it would be extremely difficult to succeed.
Who would’ve thought that this human Lord was a super expert with overwhelming strength!
“Are you serious?”
Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the other party. The most awkward thing about Meng Jia’s identity was that no matter which side won, there was a high chance that they would be buried with him. However, if the King of Qin could personally guarantee that he wouldn’t pursue the matter, there would be a lot more room for manipulation.
“I’m the Son of Heaven, and my mouth is filled with heavenly laws. How can I break my promise?”the King of Qin said sternly.
He was deeply immersed in the character!
Lin Yi muttered to himself, but this was exactly what he wanted.”Then what do you need me to do, Sir?”
The King of Qin said coldly,”please fall into the trap and capture them all in one fell swoop!”
To put it bluntly, he had to kill all his enemies in the Yan camp. This mission was in line with his identity as the King of Qin, so it was naturally quite difficult.
It wasn’t hard to kill one or two people, but to kill everyone in the Yan camp … Lin Yi guessed that even if the entire country launched an expedition, it would be difficult to succeed. After all, the opposite camp would definitely have a giant at the peak of the realm, or even stronger.
Once that kind of person gave up fighting head-on and was determined to play guerilla warfare, even if he had the backing of the entire Qin country, it would be difficult to use him.
Lin Yi instantly understood their intentions. Using him as bait to lure the assassins into a fatal trap was the only way to get things done once and for all.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yi quickly nodded,”Alright, I can cooperate.”
The King of Qin nodded slightly.”Remember, my identity can not be known to anyone. You are the only person who knows the inside story. If a third person finds out, I will kill you first!”
“Not even our Qin camp?” Lin Yi frowned.
“What I want is a one-hit kill. If I want the people of Yan Kingdom to fall into my trap, the first thing I need to do is to control the information. Any other possible source of information must be strangled to death.”
The King of Qin’s voice was filled with killing intent. He added,”There are too many people. Who can guarantee that those people are spies from our Qin camp and not from the Yan Kingdom?”
Lin Yi nodded. There was one more thing he didn’t say-even the people from the Qin camp weren’t as loyal as the king. After all, no one knew what their real mission was, other than themselves.
They might be brothers fighting side by side one second, but in the next second, they might meet each other and fight to the death.
After reaching a tacit agreement with this mysterious King, Lin Yi left respectfully. He had to at least play the role of Meng Jia in front of others, or else he’d cause unnecessary trouble if people got suspicious.
At that time, it was hard to say how this powerful Qin Wang would react.
It was true that one conversation wasn’t enough to establish a solid partnership, but both Lin Yi and the king had to work together from their standpoint. It would benefit both sides.
But as he walked out of the gates, he stopped in his tracks, a hint of interest in his voice.”I didn’t expect that a Grand, powerful, Omega Level expert would actually be a guard. This is truly an eye-opener.”
Beside Lin Yi, an ordinary-looking guard who was taking a nap opened his eyes. “You’re indeed not simple. I thought I had disguised myself very well.”
This man was the strongest of the seven from the Qin camp, and he was also the one who sent the tall and short duo to assassinate Lin Yi.
“A Lion can’t pretend to be a sheep no matter how hard he tries,” Lin Yi replied faintly.”There’s a limit to how much he can deceive himself. Or is this your hobby?”
“Hey, Hey, I’m very serious about playing my role. Why do you sound like you’re talking about something that can’t be exposed?”
The other party extended his hand with a smile,””Since it’s so rare to meet you, let’s get to know each other. My name is Huo Guang.”
“Lin Yi,”
Lin Yi reported his name as well-he’d had to use fake names before he was strong enough, but he didn’t do that much anymore.
“If I’m not wrong, you’ve already spoken up for the Yan Kingdom?” Huo Guang looked at Lin Yi.
“That’s my historical value, isn’t it?”Lin Yi nodded.
“It’s not wrong to say that it’s inappropriate. To be honest, I’ve already guessed that things wouldn’t be so simple. But I still have to remind you to be clear of your position and not be fooled by the people of Yan Kingdom.”
“It’s impossible to predict the Assassin’s baptism with common sense,” Huo Guang said with a casual look.”You may think that the Yan camp’s mission is to kill the king of Qin, but maybe their goal is to kill everyone in our Qin camp.”
“……”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything-this couldn’t be ruled out, after all. If they were to go by faction, he’d be in the Qin’s camp without a doubt.
“That’s all I have to say, you’re on your own. ”
Huo Xing seemed to have thought of something and his tone suddenly changed,”I have to thank you on behalf of those two good-for-nothings for sparing their lives. But I’ve already dealt with them for you. After all, no one can guarantee that they won’t hold a grudge, right?”
“Excuse me, but may I ask what your mission is?” Lin Yi’s expression changed.
Huo Guang gave him a strange look.”Missions are the most important trump card in this baptism. It’s like a girl’s underwear. Would you casually show it to a stranger?”
Lin Yi didn’t know what to say-what a magical metaphor.
“If you can live to the end, you might have the chance to see my trump card. As for now, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.”
Huo Guang chuckled, then returned to his lazy and napping state, no longer speaking.
The situation was getting more and more confusing.
Putting aside the Yan camp, which had only come into contact with Dong que, the Qin camp, which could be considered as one of their own, had the King of Qin, Huo Guang, and Lin Yi’s forces.
Although they had already dealt with the other two parties and had reached a certain tacit understanding, whether it was the King of Qin or Huo Guang, their goals might not be as simple as they seemed on the surface, especially when there might be spies from the Yan Kingdom among them. The overall plan was simply a mess.
