Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 174 Lantai
"According to Young Master Zhang Liang's information, Qin Wangzheng will go to Lantai Palace for a private visit tonight."

Zhou Wen said to the two masked assassins beside him.

There are two assassins behind him, one is Li Tiejiang, and the other is the servant of the wine shop.

The two nodded slightly, and then Zhou Wen spread out a piece of parchment, on which was the layout of Lantai Palace.

Lantai Palace is the summer resort of Qin Wangzheng, which contains a lot of ice. In hot summer, Qin Wangzheng often escapes the heat here.

Zhou Wen pointed to a place on the parchment and said: "This place is our hiding place. There are few people at night, so we sneaked into the palace secretly, hid here, and assassinated Qin Wangzheng when he suddenly appeared!"

The two people around nodded frequently, with dark smiles on the corners of their mouths. Most of them were assassins that Zhang Liang distributed a lot of money and hunted in Xianyang City.

They are familiar with the layout of Xianyang City, and they can still accurately identify every street in Xianyang City under the dim night light.

Once the assassination fails, they can follow the planned route and escape secretly.

Everyone looked excited, with smiles on their faces. The three of them hugged each other tightly and said with emotion: "If you fail to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, you will be benevolent!"

The moonlight shines on the earth, covering the Lanchi Palace with a layer of white gauze.

Outside the palace, Zhou Wen followed two assassins to lurk in the lotus pond. The three of them held their breaths and stared at every move of Lanchi Palace.

When they vaguely heard footsteps stepping into Lanchi Palace, the eyes of the three of them tightened, their legs trembled subconsciously, and their breathing accelerated to the extreme.

But the ten Lanchi Palace guards who came came, they took turns to be on duty at night, and they were in charge of guarding the guards.

After watching the ten people leave, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. The blacksmith wondered, "Zhou Wen, is there a mistake in the information? How would Brother Zifang know where Qin Wangzheng is going?"

Zhou Wen frowned, and he was not sure about the authenticity of Zhang Liang's information.

However, Zhang Liang was able to accurately infer Qin Wangzheng's parade route, carefully arranged the plan, and carried out the assassination in Bolangsha, which proved that he was well-informed. How could he be wrong?
Although I don't know how Zhang Liang got the information, this is Zhang Liang's excellence, and Zhou Wen can only believe it unconditionally.

Suddenly, an old man in a black black robe followed four warriors into Lanchi Palace.

Zhou Wen fixed his eyes on the old man, looked at his attire, and reminded them in a low voice: "The person in the middle is Zhao Zheng!"

The blacksmith and Scheeren looked up and panicked, their hearts pounding.

For those who are inexperienced, it is not easy to assassinate others, and it is even more difficult to assassinate Qin Wangzheng.

When the three of them saw Qin Wangzheng, apart from Zhou Wen, the three of them were scared out of their wits by Qin Wangzheng's cold gaze.

The old man seemed to have noticed something, and subconsciously swept towards the lotus pond, which made the reserved three people even more panicked.

But once you're on this boat, there's no turning back!

Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death!
Suddenly, Zhou Wen jumped out of the water, and the blacksmith and Sheren hesitated for three seconds, then followed closely behind.

The three of them have high martial arts skills and are proficient in swordsmanship, so the mission of assassination is incumbent.

The ten guards quickly noticed the appearance of Zhou Wen and the others, brandished their long halberds, and charged at the assassin.

But Zhou Wen and the others were not idle, and ten guards died under their long swords.

The old man was dumbfounded, took a breath, and after a short hesitation, said sharply: "Guard!"

Immediately, the old man backed away slowly, and four warriors stepped forward to fight Zhou Wen and the three of them.

But Qin Wangzheng went out for a private visit, and the four guards should not be underestimated. The blacksmith and Sheren were killed on the spot.

Seeing that the two of them were all down, bleeding profusely, Zhou Wen threw out his long sword and shot it straight into the old man's left foot.

Although the shot into the foot was not fatal, Zhou Wen was worthy of Zhang Liang.

Zhou Wen's eyes went dark, and he felt the ground tremble. Immediately, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground with a dull sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Wen narrowed his eyes and slowly opened them, only to find that he was bandaged and lying on the bed.

Zhou Wen looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and said in surprise, "I didn't die?"

Zhao Gao walked into the room slowly, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is a generous lover, and I am pardoning you to die!"

Zhou Wen naturally didn't believe it, Qin Wangzheng violently conquered the six countries, how could he let him go so easily.

Immediately, Qin Wangzheng slowly stepped into the room, the little child prostrated on his shoulders, his eyes swept across Zhou Wen.

When Zhou Wen saw that Qin Wangzheng's left foot was intact, he was shocked and said, "Why?"

Qin Wangzheng laughed loudly and said: "Your plan has been predicted by Mr. Fan. Could it be that I will take the risk and let you assassinate me?"

A wave of anger rose from Zhou Wen's body, and he was about to get up to make up for it, but he still couldn't bear the severe pain and fell to the ground.

Qin Wangzheng took the initiative to walk in front of Zhou Wen, if it wasn't for the little childish slave who saved your life, wouldn't you be able to survive tonight?

After investigation, Qin Wangzheng had already learned Zhou Wen's identity, and Zhao Gao said straight away: "The dog butcher king Fu is actually Zhou Wen, and he is a fierce general under Xiang Yan's command!"

Immediately, Qin Wangzheng put a short knife on the table, and said with cold eyes: "I thought you were the queen of the general, if you are willing to submit to the atmosphere, devote your heart and soul to the empire, I can save your life and seal you Lieutenant of Dongting County!"

A trace of panic flashed in Zhou Wen's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "Zhao Zheng, don't deceive me!"

But Qin Wangzheng ignored Zhou Wen's doubts, but said with cold eyes: "Life and death are all in the general's mind!"

Zhou Wen pulled out the short blade decisively and stabbed it into the chest.

In his eyes, if he is willing to submit to the state of Qin, life would be worse than death!

In this case, it would be better to die clean.

After all, Zhou Wen fell in the Lanchi Palace. Although he was a famous general against Qin in the future, under the urging of Xiao Zhinu, he resolutely chose to commit suicide.

Seeing Zhou Wen committing suicide, Qin Wangzheng felt ashamed, but after thinking about it, Zhou Wen was a general of Chu, so he was doomed not to serve Qin willingly.

Since it is a scourge, death will not have any effect on him, but Qin Wangzheng is clean.

Zhou Wen fell into the blood wave, and the bright red blood flowed everywhere, and soon dyed the apricot wood floor dark red.

Qin Wangzheng couldn't bear it, so he said to Zhao Gao: "Zhou Wen is loyal and courageous, and he is unparalleled in the world. Although he assassinated Qin, he is still a martyr. Let him be buried!"

After dealing with Zhou Wen's matter, Qin Wangzheng was about to order the entire city to be locked up and searched for their accomplices, but Fan Zeng stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, if the whole city is closed for three months to search, there will be a lot of noise in Xianyang City, which will definitely cause the price of living things to skyrocket." , people tend to accumulate resentment!"

At this point, Qin Wangzheng did not issue an edict, but put the matter on hold, and ordered that no one should mention it, and Fan Zeng led the black ice platform assassins to search secretly.

After Zhang Liang heard the news of the failed assassination, he led the Zhang family to hide in the mountains. As long as Qin Wangzheng survived, he would not go down.
