Then, the two of them entered Shuoyang City.
The garrison of Shuoyang City did not check people entering and leaving the city too strictly, so they entered Shuoyang City very easily.
The two arrived at an inn, booked two rooms, and then waited...
“Dong dong dong~~”
That very evening, there was a knock on the Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians' room...
The door creaked open, and an unassuming middle-aged man entered. Upon seeing the Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians, he immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Xuan Jiu, a Xuan-level spy from the Blood Barbarian Palace, greets Your Highness, the Third Prince..."
The Blood Barbarian Palace is the intelligence agency of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty, primarily responsible for gathering intelligence on external forces, with the Great Qin Dynasty being their top priority...
Xuan Jiu was a spy from the Blood Barbarian Palace hiding in Liangzhou.
"Get up! Tell me about the situation in Liangzhou, especially information about that King of Liang!"
The Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians sat on the bed and spoke calmly.
"Here!"
Xuan Jiu said respectfully.
Xuan Jiu then told the Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians about the situation in Liangzhou in detail.
"In other words, there are no powerful individuals in Shuoyang City at all. There is only the governor of Liangzhou who is at the Golden Core stage, and there was also a city defense general who was, but that general later rebelled and was executed by the King of Liang..."
Finally, Xuan Jiu gave a summary.
The Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians nodded, a cruel smile on his face, and said, "Truly, heaven is on my side! Liangzhou truly lives up to its reputation as the weakest state in the Great Qin Dynasty; it doesn't even have many Golden Core experts. This immense merit and wealth have just fallen into my lap..."
"Your Highness, when shall we make our move?"
Xuan Jiu asked cautiously.
"No rush, have you planned the escape route?"
Although the Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians was powerful and didn't take Ying Chen seriously, Liangzhou, while lacking strong cultivators, still had an army of 300,000 stationed outside the city. Even with his strength, he couldn't possibly escape unscathed from such a large army...
Therefore, careful planning is needed before taking action...
"Your Highness, rest assured. Our Blood Barbarian Palace has been operating in Liangzhou for many years and knows the entire region inside and out. We have already planned the entire retreat route; it is absolutely safe..."
Xuan Jiu said confidently.
The Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, let's make our move tomorrow! Let that King Liang of Qin live one more day..."
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will go and prepare immediately!"
Xuan Jiu said respectfully and obsequiously.
The Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians waved his hand dismissively.
Xuan Jiu then left the room.
The moment he stepped outside, the fawning expression on his face vanished, as if he had become a completely different person.
He walked all the way to the outside of the inn and went to a stall outside, pretending to buy something.
"Please inform Your Highness that the target plans to make their move tomorrow night. Please be prepared!"
The vendor nodded almost imperceptibly, but Xuan Jiu continued to casually select items.
A moment later, after Xuan Jiu left, the vendor packed up his stall.
Whether it was Xuan Jiu or the peddler, they were all Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards). As for the real Xuan Jiu, he was already dead. After the Jinyiwei were summoned, they carried out a massive purge of all other forces in Liangzhou, and then the Jinyiwei took over their identities...
The most effective way to gather intelligence is to infiltrate the enemy...
A short while later, Ying Chen received the message.
While the Embroidered Uniform Guard (Jinyiwei) may not be able to control every move in the entire Qin Dynasty, in Liangzhou and within Shuoyang City, no matter how small the disturbance, it will not escape their notice...
"The third prince of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty? He's here to kill me?"
Ying Chen stared blankly at the intelligence report in his hand, wondering when he had offended the Blood Barbarian Dynasty.
"Your Highness, besides the Third Prince, the Blood Barbarian Dynasty has also sent a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, who is currently at the Yue Lai Inn..."
Lu Bing spoke up from below.
"No need, I want to see what the Blood Barbarian Dynasty is up to!"
Ying Chen revealed a playful smile and said.
"Here!"
"Dian Wei!"
"The general is here!"
Dian Wei, who had been standing behind Ying Chen like an iron tower, spoke in a deep, muffled voice.
"The guards inside the Prince's residence can be slightly relaxed tomorrow night..."
Ying Chen spoke up.
"Here!"
Although Dian Wei was somewhat puzzled, he still spoke respectfully.
"Alright, everyone, go down! Prepare to welcome our guests who have come from afar..."
"Here!"
The two men respectfully withdrew, leaving Ying Chen alone in the room.
"Just one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage..."
Ying Chen sensed his own cultivation level and slowly spoke.
"Strive for a breakthrough today, and then our power will grow once again..."
Then, Ying Chen slowly closed his eyes and activated the Eternal God Emperor Technique, a layer of golden light slowly enveloping him...
The entire room became bright under this brilliant light...
Little Golden Five-Clawed Dragon had returned sometime earlier, lying quietly in front of Ying Chen, absorbing the radiant light it emitted...
My body has undergone some subtle changes...
The next night.
Outside the Liang Prince's Palace.
"Your Highness, this is the place. Since the Prince of Liang arrived in Liangzhou, he has rarely gone out..."
Xuan Jiu, or rather, the Imperial Guard disguised as Xuan Jiu, pointed at the Liang Prince's Mansion and spoke to the Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians.
"For a prince's residence to be so dilapidated, doesn't he fear becoming a laughingstock..."
The Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians looked at the Liang Prince's Mansion in front of him with a hint of disdain in his eyes and spoke.
"Your Highness, it's best to be careful!"
Seeing his prince's appearance, the old man beside him couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
"understood!"
"The Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians said impatiently."
He was now itching to kill Ying Chen. Just thinking about it was exhilarating, after all, he had never killed someone of equal status before...
Not to mention someone of equal status who could bring you huge benefits...
"Old Qian, let's make our move! We must finish this quickly before the army can react. Ignore the others in the Liang Prince's residence for now, go straight for the Liang Prince..."
The Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians gave the order.
Mr. Qian nodded.
Subsequently, the Third Prince of the Blood Barbarians and Elder Qian took to the air and arrived above the Liang Prince's Mansion. After ascertaining the location of Ying Chen's residence, they flew towards it.
"Gentlemen, where are you headed?"
Just then, a voice rang out behind them.
The two men's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly came to their senses, only to see a young man standing behind them with a smile.
When did this person appear, and why didn't they notice him at all?
The thought appeared in their minds almost simultaneously...
