Among the seven assassins hiding in the roadside forest, Li San was the most cunning. At this moment, seeing the unusual expression on Han Fourth Master's face, he sensed that something was wrong. Faced with the hundreds of Qin Army Cavalry appearing on the mountain road, he did not have the courage to charge in recklessly.
"Fourth Master! We have rules when we come out to do our work. Engaging with the military is strictly prohibited by our first rule..."
"Shut up!"
Tan Si, hearing someone trying to back him up, scolded softly, "Are you out of your mind? Just charging in against hundreds of them? Even if there were no rules, it would still be pointless to go in and commit suicide!"
Whether or not to commit suicide was not important; for Li San, Tan Si's answer was what mattered most. As long as they didn't charge into the military formation afterward, anything else would be fine! So he curled his lips and chuckled a few times without saying anything further.
Tan Si truly did not dare to rush out and confront the Qin Army Charioteer Camp, not only because of the overwhelming numbers. It wasn't merely about following rules; if there were no unexpected circumstances on that side, they would have engaged with the Qin Army long ago!
Seeing the General among the Cavalry Unit, Tan Si realized that what had just been questioned about whether they could assassinate King Zhao of Qin could indeed be put into action. The General of the Qin Army Charioteer Camp was none other than the swordsman from the King Qin's hall in West Fortress City!
Haha! Truly, heaven does not disappoint those who are determined! Tan Si felt secretly pleased watching this Qin Army urgently leave the city; he knew they must be heading out on a military mission. As long as this overly aggressive fellow left Bastion City, everything else would be manageable!
Due to the assassination attempt on Qin Army Commander Bai Qi, Luzi, who was following the troops, was extremely anxious. If it weren't for this reason, he would have sensed the sudden surge of killing intent from the roadside. This slight misstep led him to narrowly miss crossing paths with the second group of assassins sent by Wei Wujie.
Luzi's agitation had its reasons; prolonged warfare was exhausting for everyone. If Zhao Army's camp could not be taken down quickly, the Qin Army would eventually be dragged down in Shangdang. He understood King Zhao of Qin's strategic intention: to annihilate Zhao Army entirely to deliver a heavy blow to Zhao State. However, this premise relied on being able to swiftly eliminate Zhao Army within their encirclement!
If one were to gnaw at hard stones and end up breaking all their teeth, such a deal would hardly be worthwhile!
The ultimate goal of the Qin Army was to capture Shangdang so they could seize all its mountains and lakes. In comparison, annihilating Zhao Army was secondary. If there were a way to achieve both goals simultaneously, King Zhao would likely be willing to cede Shangdang territory. As long as an agreement could be reached afterward, why not let Zhao Army go free?
The quest for unifying the world will not be halted by letting go of the Zhao Army, for the unification of the realm is the direction of Public Sentiment! What is the greatest? Of course, Public Sentiment is the greatest! The heroes of the world are merely the driving force behind the wheels, while true power comes from Public Sentiment. It is only Public Sentiment that can change the course of history!
The Luzi who once broke through Zhao Xinjun has proven what courage is, and has witnessed the foundation of countless Huaxia being reduced to ashes in this battle. Deeply resentful of war, he assessed the situation and decided to find a good way to end the Qin Zhao conflict in Shangdang. This involves over One Hundred Thousand people! The future construction of a unified nation requires the participation of these individuals!
However! At this very moment, Qin Army Commander Bai Qi was assassinated! It seems that heaven does not wish to see anyone achieve their dreams so easily, thus deliberately setting up obstacles to test one's resolve. It is as if a grim reaper, hoping to harvest many lives, needs to sacrifice these hundreds of thousands before granting mercy to anyone!
Fighting against heaven is truly one of the most helpless things. At this moment, Luzi felt nothing but anger and despair.
Without a word, under the protection of the Qin Army Charioteer Camp, Luzi successfully arrived at the camp led by General Cheng Ji of the Qin Twentieth Legion. The injured Bai Qi was recuperating within the Qin Twentieth Legion, and Luzi needed to personally inquire about this matter to make the most reasonable assessment of the current situation.
The Qin Army Camp stationed in the mountains was bustling with activity, with banners and totems fluttering in the wind. With no mood to appreciate it, Luzi hurriedly entered through the Camp Gate. What greeted his eyes was not General Cheng Ji coming out to welcome him, but rather injured Qin Soldiers everywhere. Occasionally, there were heart-wrenching cries from those unable to bear their pain, causing all who heard them to feel sorrow.
Scenes and sounds continuously entered Luzi's view; his once compassionate heart began to harden under the relentless wash of iron and blood. When he saw General Cheng Ji coming out with a crutch to greet him, he realized that war could no longer be swayed by anyone's will.
After checking Cheng Ji's injuries and confirming that rest would allow for recovery, Luzi asked why he did not request a change in command. The damp air in the mountains, coupled with an unsettled mind, was not conducive to healing injuries. A careless moment with such injuries could leave lasting consequences.
Cheng Ji's injury was sustained while resisting a large-scale breakthrough by the Zhao Army. Seeing the fearless Zhao Army charging like an avalanche, the Qin Army's Defensive Formation nearly collapsed. He organized a counter-charge just in time, shattering the Zhao Army's dreams of success. At that time, only about thirty out of a thousand soldiers who followed him returned, while he suffered a leg injury from a Zhao General's strike.
"Hey! If it weren't for my Terracotta Armor absorbing most of the impact, I might have left this leg on the charge along with my brothers."
Seeing his honest attempt at humor moved Luzi deeply. He nodded heavily. "Thank you for your efforts, brothers! How is our Grand Commander now?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ji sighed and shook his head with a face full of sorrow. He stepped aside to clear a path and said, "Alas! Please follow me, Governor!"
Worried about this, Luzi said no more and gestured for Cheng Ji to lead the way.
The group hurriedly arrived at the Temporary Medical Station set up far behind the defensive position. Cheng Ji, who insisted on leading, called for the Surgeon to guide everyone to a tent. "My lord! Wuan Jun is inside."
Luzi signaled for everyone to remain silent and stay outside the tent. He raised his hand to touch the half-closed tent flap but hesitated slightly. Taking a deep breath to steady his emotions, he gently lifted the tent curtain and stepped inside.
In front of Bai Qi's bed were three anxious Surgeons carefully attending to him. Upon seeing the Governor enter, they quickly knelt down to pay their respects. Years of service in the Military had made them acutely aware of the severe punishments for negligence. The Governor had come from the king, naturally carrying the king's decree!
If Wuan Jun was fine, then everyone would be fine. But if something happened to him, there would be no shortage of misfortune for those involved!
Bai Qi's injuries were not caused by these Surgeons, but a Royal Decree is a Royal Decree! Who in the Qin State would dare defy it!? Feeling powerless, Luzi looked at the three submissive figures and sighed inwardly.
"Leave! You are not needed here for now!"
"Yes!"
The three trembling Surgeons responded and bowed as they left the Main Tent.
