Gai Nie and Ru Yan's worries were not without reason. Xianyang, the heart of the Qin Empire, was like a den of dragons and tigers to Ying Yuan at this moment. But Ying Yuan seemed to have not heard their dissuasion, and just smiled mysteriously, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
The next morning, the three of them simply packed their luggage and set off for Xianyang.
Along the way, Ying Yuan did not show any nervousness or anxiety. Instead, he seemed relaxed and comfortable. From time to time, he would joke with Gai Nie and Ruyan to liven up the atmosphere.
"Brother Gai Nie, do you think we will encounter any interesting things when we go to Xianyang this time?" Ying Yuan asked with a smile.
Gai Nie shook his head and said, "Xianyang City is full of experts, so you'd better be careful when you go there."
Ying Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Gai Nie, you worry too much. I am not the kind of lamb to be slaughtered."
Ruyan listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although she knew that Ying Yuan was powerful, Xianyang was the capital of Qin after all, and it was full of dangers. She really didn't trust Ying Yuan to go alone.
"Sir, why don't we just..." Ruyan was about to speak to dissuade him, but was interrupted by Ying Yuan.
"Miss Ruyan, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ying Yuan said with a smile, "I have my own plans for this trip to Xianyang."
Seeing Ying Yuan was so persistent, Ruyan didn't know what to say and could only pray silently, hoping that Ying Yuan's trip would go smoothly.
A few days later, the three finally arrived outside the city of Xianyang.
Looking at the towering city walls, Ying Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of the capital of the Qin Dynasty, it is indeed magnificent."
Gai Nie nodded and said, "There are many experts in Xianyang City. You must be careful when you enter the city."
Ying Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Gai Nie, don't worry, I know what to do."
After saying that, the three of them walked towards the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city saw that the three men were dressed in unusual clothes, so they did not dare to neglect them. They hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Who are you three? What brings you to Xianyang?"
Ying Yuan smiled slightly and said, "We are here to visit Xianyang."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of gold from his arms and handed it to the soldier guarding the city.
The soldier guarding the city took the gold, weighed it, and immediately smiled, saying quickly, "It turns out to be you gentlemen. Please come in."
The three of them entered Xianyang city smoothly.
As soon as he entered the city, Ying Yuan felt a murderous aura coming towards him.
There were few pedestrians on the street, and most of them were in a hurry and did not dare to stay for too long.
"It seems that the atmosphere in Xianyang City is more tense than I imagined." Ying Yuan said in a low voice.
Gai Nie nodded and said, "There are many experts in Xianyang City, and the patrols in the city have been strengthened a lot in recent times. It seems that something big is going to happen."
Ying Yuan smiled slightly and said, "It seems that we have come at the right time."
The three of them found an inn to stay in and prepared to find out the situation in the city first.
As soon as I entered the inn, I heard a noise coming from the hall.
"Boss, give me another pot of wine!" a rough voice shouted.
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The shopkeeper responded quickly.
Ying Yuan and the other two came to the hall and found an empty seat to sit down.
"Young Master, look at that man." Gai Nie suddenly said in a low voice.
Ying Yuan followed Gai Nie's gaze and saw a burly man sitting in the middle of the hall, drinking alone.
The man had a hideous scar on his face, and looked very fierce.
"This person seems familiar." Ying Yuan said with a frown.
Gai Nie nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, he should be a well-known assassin in the martial arts world, known as 'Blood Slaughter'." "Blood Slaughter?" Ying Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, "It seems that coming to Xianyang this time is really the right choice."
At this moment, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open and a group of men in black walked in.
The leading man in black glanced around the hall and finally his eyes fell on Ying Yuan.
"Are you Ying Yuan?" the man in black asked coldly.
Ying Yuan smiled slightly and said, "That's me. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"
The man in black sneered and said, "My master invites you."
"Who is your master?" Ying Yuan asked.
The man in black did not answer, but said coldly: "You will know when you go there."
After saying that, the man in black walked towards Ying Yuan.
Seeing this, Gai Nie and Ruyan quickly stood in front of Ying Yuan.
"If you want to touch my young master, you have to get past us first!" Gai Nie said coldly.
The man in black sneered and said, "You don't know your own limitations!"
After saying that, he swung the sword in his hand and attacked Gai Nie.
A war is about to break out...
Gai Nie drew his sword, a cold light flashed. Ruyan took a step back, protecting behind Ying Yuan, the short dagger in her hand flashing a cold light.
Seeing this, the man in black sneered disdainfully: "You two really want to stop me?"
Before he finished speaking, the man in black pounced on Gai Nie like a tiger descending from a mountain. Gai Nie's swordsmanship was exquisite and his moves were deadly. Although the man in black was not weak in martial arts, he seemed a little powerless in front of Gai Nie.
For a moment, swords flashed and knives shone, and the tables, chairs and benches in the inn flew around, making the inn a mess.
Ying Yuan watched coldly, thinking to himself, "Although the martial arts of this man in black are good, he is still far inferior to Gai Nie."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves outside the inn, followed by a group of armored soldiers rushing in and surrounding the inn.
The leading general pointed at Ying Yuan and shouted, "How dare you commit a crime in Xianyang City, you daring lunatic! Why don't you surrender?"
Ying Yuan frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "It seems someone is deliberately trying to frame me."
He was about to explain when the general waved his hand and shouted, "Capture him!"
The soldiers rushed forward and surrounded Ying Yuan and his two companions.
Seeing this, Gai Nie and Ruyan hurriedly protected Ying Yuan and engaged in a fierce battle with the soldiers.
However, these soldiers were well-trained elite warriors. Although Gai Nie and Ruyan were highly skilled in martial arts, they were outnumbered and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan thought to himself, "We can't go on like this, or we'll all be caught."
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
His voice was like a huge bell, making the entire inn buzz.
When the soldiers heard the shout, they were stunned for a moment, stopped what they were doing and looked at Ying Yuan.
Ying Yuan's eyes were like torches. He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "I am the young master of the Qin State, Ying Yuan. How dare you attack me? Aren't you afraid of having your entire clan executed?"
When the soldiers heard Ying Yuan introduce himself, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The general was also stunned, then sneered: "I don't care who you are. I only know that you are committing murder and injuring people here, and I have been ordered to arrest you." (End of this chapter)
