Chapter 331 The Mastermind

"How can it be?"

King Qin stood up in shock. He originally thought that this was a trick that King Wei himself had made to find a reason to send troops to the Qin Dynasty, but now he found out that the assassin was really a spy of the Qin Dynasty.

King Qin pointed at Zhang Yan and asked angrily: "What's going on? Aren't the Shadow Guards everything under your control? Besides me and you, who else can mobilize them?"

"Did you mobilize them?"

King Qin looked at Zhang Yan as if he wanted to eat him. Zhang Yan knelt down on the ground in fright: "Your Majesty, I am not a minister. Someone pretended to pass on my order."

"Someone dares to fake your orders? Who is he?"

King Qin asked.

"I have found out that the person who passed on the false orders was Tang Hui, the liaison envoy of the Secret Guard Headquarters. He falsely conveyed the orders, which made them take the risk to assassinate the King of Wei."

"Where are the others?"

"When I went to arrest him, he had already hanged himself. However, I found out that Tang Hui was not from Da Qin. He was an imposter, and someone had covered his household registration."

"How are the losses of the secret guards in Wei State?"

"It's so destructive that almost no one can survive."

"Damn it! It seems that there is someone behind this. They want Wei to go to war with me, Da Qin."

King Qin is not an idiot. The other party deliberately sent the undercover agent to the Shadow Guard for this day. However, he still has no clue as to who is the mastermind behind this.

The other party has been planning for so long, and the ultimate goal is probably to target the Great Qin royal family.

He also thought about Shenyue Palace, but with the strength of Shenyue Palace, there was no need to play these conspiracies. As long as Shenyue Palace gave an order, King Wei would never dare to disobey the orders of Shenyue Palace.

The purpose of the other party's doing this was not to stimulate King Wei to send as many troops as possible.

"You immediately launch an internal investigation and re-investigate the details of everyone in the Shadow Guard."

King Qin ordered

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Report!"

At this moment, a eunuch, sweating profusely, hurriedly ran in, "Oh no, Your Majesty, the Shadow Guard has just sent in the news that the King of Wei has killed the envoy and officially declared war on our country, the Qin Dynasty. Will send troops."

"This day is still coming."

King Qin took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.

After the assassination incident, he knew that regardless of whether there was a conspiracy behind it, King Wei would choose to send troops to Da Qin.

If it were just the Wei family, King Qin would not be afraid at all. What he is afraid of is the alliance of the six families. It is indeed difficult for Da Qin to resist with its strength.

In order to avoid turmoil in the capital, King Qin blocked the news, and then urgently mobilized troops, horses and food to go to the border.

…

More than two hundred miles away from the capital of King Wei, there is an unknown small mountain village.

No one has lived in this mountain village for a long time, but a group of people suddenly came to live here in the past few days.

Since no one comes here all year round, no one has discovered that there is anyone living here.

At this time, in a simple room, two people were talking.

One looks like a middle-aged businessman, relatively wealthy, and the other is a somewhat handsome young man.

"This matter was done well, and my master is very satisfied." The young man said.

"It is a small man's honor to serve His Highness the Crown Prince." The middle-aged businessman said flatteringly.

The young man sneered and said: "The King of Qin never dreamed that you, the person in charge of the Wei Dynasty, have been one of ours for a long time. After a few days and another show, you can escape back."

"It all depends on your orders."

The middle-aged businessman said respectfully.

It turns out that this middle-aged businessman is none other than the person in charge of the Shadow Guard in Wei. .

One time, he was accidentally captured by the prince of Wei Dynasty. Unable to withstand the punishment, he took refuge with the prince of Wei Dynasty.

Why did the Crown Prince of Wei want to do this? This was because the Crown Prince of Wei was a hardliner and had always advocated sending troops to Da Qin, but the King of Wei was wavering.

The same is true this time. Although King Wei promised the Holy Son of Shenyue Palace, King Wei was still wavering and had to wait for the other five countries to send troops, and the other five countries all hoped that Wei would send troops first.

How can this be done if it continues like this?

So someone suggested that the Crown Prince of Wei should take such an action to stimulate the King of Wei to send troops. As expected, the King of Wei was very angry and killed the envoy of Qin and prepared to send troops.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered you to hide here for the next few days. In two days, there will be news that you are on the run. We will send people to hunt you all the way, so that you can escape to Daqin safely. The Shadow Guards have already If someone takes the blame for you, then no one will doubt you."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a wonderful plan, and my subordinates admire him."

The middle-aged businessman said flatteringly.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

After the young man finished speaking, he left.

After the young man left, a handsome young man came out. This young man was about twenty-five years old. He had long eyebrows and handsome eyes. He was wearing fine clothes and looked very noble.

The handsome young man who came out was none other than the Prince of Yan who had appeared in Qingzhou.

"Owner!"

When the middle-aged businessman saw the Crown Prince of Yan, he immediately stopped smiling and became respectful.

"The Crown Prince of Wei is really a fool. If the King of Wei finds out in the future that he sent the assassin, let alone his position as Crown Prince, he may not even be able to save his life."

There was a trace of sarcasm on the corner of Prince Yan's mouth.

"This is all planned by the master. The Crown Prince of Wei is just a warrior, so how could he know the master's plan? Now that Wei has killed the envoy, troops will be sent out soon, and our opportunity will come."

The middle-aged businessman said excitedly.

"After so long of planning, it's finally time to harvest. I have to thank the Crown Prince of Wei for this. If it weren't for him, the plan wouldn't have been completed so perfectly. He would never have thought that you were mine."

Prince Yan said.

The middle-aged businessman had a proud smile on his face. His true identity was from Yan, and he was caught by the Crown Prince of Wei. It was just a deliberate design.

"After you return to Great Qin this time, you must pay attention to the movements of the Qingfeng Sect. I can vaguely feel that this Qingfeng Sect may be the key to our destruction of Qin."

The middle-aged businessman agreed. He had been in Wei State and had only heard some rumors about Qingfeng Sect. He thought that Qingfeng Sect was not very powerful and the master was overly worried.

"By the way, none of these people outside can be left here. You can only go back to Da Qin alone this time."

Prince Yan suddenly thought of something and said.

"But, they are all my confidants, and they are all Yan people."

The middle-aged businessman is a little embarrassed. These people outside are all Yan people. They have been with him for a long time and are very trustworthy.

"To achieve great things, you still have to make necessary sacrifices. When you go back this time, someone will definitely doubt you. Once you take them back, it is very likely that flaws will be exposed, and then all your efforts will be wasted."

After saying that, the Crown Prince of Yan patted the middle-aged businessman on the shoulder and left the village.

Not long after he left, the middle-aged businessman gritted his teeth and gathered everyone together to drink. He put poison in the wine and everyone was poisoned to death.

"Brothers, you can't blame me. For the rise of our country, Yan, I have to sacrifice you. I will make Great Qin pay a hundredfold for this blood debt."

The middle-aged businessman said sadly with tears in his eyes.
