Chapter 135 In Broad Daylight
The woods are deep and the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance does not affect this area at all.
Zhanri looked at Zhao Shuang, who was calm as usual, with some doubts.
"You don't seem to care about the life and death of the Mohist disciples over there."
Zhao Shuang felt Li Ji's gaze behind him and said.
"This is a war that has nothing to do with the Mohist family, but since you have already participated, you must be aware."
The cold wind blew up at night, and the torch that fell on the ground burned higher and higher. Li Ji's whole body became a little stiff when she listened to Zhao Shuang's words.
"Fuck the consciousness!"
The cold and ruthless words contained no emotion, but in Li Ji's eyes today, they were so real.
Those Mohist disciples who were joking around him not long ago were now lying on the ground, gradually losing their warmth and turning into cold corpses.
And she didn't even have time to be sad. Because, if not for luck, she would have become one of them.
"No, that's not what I meant."
Lao Ai's doubts lingered in her voice. She clenched the sword in her hand and distanced herself from Zhao Shuang as she spoke.
Same goes for the other assassin!
"You seem to have known for a long time that the Mo family's camp would be attacked by the Qin army."
"Taiyuan County has been in ruins since the Zhao people rebelled in the second year of King Qin and was attacked and destroyed by Meng Ao. Although it was later rebuilt, the progress has been slow due to the use of troops for many years. No one expected that there was an elite cavalry army hidden there. Even the generals of the Qin Army are the same, does Mr. Zhanri think I should know?"
The gentle question made Zhi Ri feel a sense of fear in his heart.
"Yeah, you weren't supposed to know."
Lao Ai raised the sword in his hand, with a threatening tone in his voice. The Luowang assassin beside him sent a signal, which was a signal for the Qin army's cavalry to return for reinforcements.
"So, who exactly are you?"
Facing Lao Ai's threat, Zhao Shuang didn't care at all. It only takes a quarter of an hour at most for the cavalry to get here. In such a short period of time, Lao Ai was still able to hold off Zhao Shuang.
Lao Ai didn't believe that the person in front of him could not notice the danger at this moment, but he had no awareness of facing this danger at all.
"I originally thought that letting the Mohist disciples guard this camp was either because the generals of the Zhao army were kind or because they thought that the Mohist disciples were not useful. But when your cavalry arrived, I understood that this camp was a bait. .”
"What did you say?"
"Lu Buwei is indeed very cunning. He hid such a cavalry army in Taiyuan by surprise. Unfortunately, you seem to have used it in the wrong place."
Lao Ai saw the leader of the Mo family in front of him shaking his head slightly, seeming to sigh.
"What kind of person is Li Mu? Since you can't even hide it from me, you naturally can't hide it from him either."
As if Zhao Shuang's words were fulfilled, the rumble of horse hooves was once again heard nearby, heading towards the camp like breaking the dark earth.
Before Meng Ao's army arrived, this could not be the cavalry of the Qin Army, and the army with such momentum could only be the most elite side cavalry under Li Mu.
"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about how to explain to Lu Buwei!"
With a chuckle, Lao Ai felt even more angry than before. Because this time, Lao Ai has lost all options and has only one way to retreat.
That was why he felt so unwilling and angry.
"Walk!"
Lao Ai carried the body of the dead Luowang assassin on his back and headed into the distance. During the whole process, Zhao Shuang did not stop him.
"You are not a qualified general, nor a qualified assassin."
Before leaving, Lao Ai looked back at Zhao Shuang with an incomprehensible tone.
"Teachable!"
When their figures disappeared, Zhao Shuang turned around and waved.
"Let's go!"
Li Ji followed Zhao Shuang and headed towards the Mo family's camp.
"Brother Jingke, will they be fine?"
"Li Mu is not an indifferent person, and he will not watch the entire Mohist army be annihilated. Otherwise, his reinforcements should have arrived three moments later, allowing the Mohist disciples to wear down the Qin army even more. With Jing Ke's It should be fine."
Li Ji got this answer and fell into silence again. In the woods, only the footsteps of the two people were left.
After a while, Li Ji's voice sounded again, but Zhao Shuang stopped.
"Did you really think of it when the Qin army's cavalry arrived?"
The dark clouds dispersed, and a ray of moonlight poured over the earth, shining on the land between Li Ji and Zhao Shuang.
Zhao Shuang turned around and faced Li Ji again, her eyes particularly bright in the moonlight.
"You are the leader of the Mohist family. Logically speaking, if a disciple of the Mohist family gets lost during a patrol and it is more appropriate for Brother Jingke to lead people to look for him, it would be more appropriate for you to lead a group of disciples and continue to guard him. Because you don't know Xiao Lin and the others, and they don't know you either. . But you chose a completely unreasonable choice, wasn’t it just to escape?”
Zhao Shuang was shocked. His usual impression of Li Ji was just a fat little man who knew how to eat. But I didn't expect that she would have such a smart side.
But she saw Li Ji walking forward step by step, gradually approaching Zhao Shuang.
"I am the leader of the Mo family, why do I do this?"
"Because if the Mo family wants to develop in Qin, they can't offend the Qin State. You don't want to see the Mo family excelling in this war and be targeted by the Qin army. So a bait can not only satisfy the Zhao army, but also Let the Qin army not take it too seriously. After this battle, the Mo family will inevitably suffer losses. If they withdraw from this war early, the government city can also explain it."
When a woman becomes smart, it’s really scary!
Zhao Shuang stared at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him. He never thought that one day he would face her in such a situation.
Li Ji lifted off Zhao Shuang's mask.
Under the moonlight, a delicate and handsome face came into view.
There were tears in Li Ji's eyes, and her vision was a little blurry. Although the person in front of her was completely different from what she remembered, the familiar feeling lingered.
In a short period of time, Li Ji followed the people in front of her and went into danger several times, but the situation and feeling of being in danger were so similar to when she faced the night in the canyon.
"Am I right, Zhao Shuang!"
Whether she is crazy or unwilling, even Li Ji feels that her current state is a bit unreasonable, but she still wants to know the answer.
"who is it?"
Zhao Shuang suddenly turned around and saw a woman in a blue dress walking out of the forest under the moonlight.
The woman is veiled, elegant in posture, and exuding a cool temperament.
Looking at the figure not far away whose figure was completely different from what she remembered, the woman's voice was filled with doubts.
"Zhao Shuang?"
