9706 Chapter 9705-

Because it was led by the G.o.d of Slaughter, even if it was not Bai Qi’s own will, the scenes that reappeared were often related to killing.

Just like the scene in front of them, it was Jing Ke’s a.s.sa.s.sination of Qin, which could be said to be the peak of a.s.sa.s.sination in history.

“I’m Meng Jia?”

Lin Yi took a while to remember what kind of person this was.

His position was the son of a concubine under the command of Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, and he could be considered as a favored official of Ying Zheng. In history, Jing Ke’s plot to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Qin Dynasty was facilitated by him after he received a bribe from the Crown Prince pill.

Lin Yi didn’t expect that he’d become such a character after entering the a.s.sa.s.sin’s baptism. He thought that since it was Jing Ke who was going to a.s.sa.s.sinate the King of Qin, it would at least be Qin Wuyang who was accompanying him, but he didn’t expect that he’d become a jokester.

As for Lin Yi’s mission, it was extremely simple-live on.

If the plot developed according to history, Jing Ke’s a.s.sa.s.sination would fail at the last step, and the King of Qin would have the last laugh, and as the King of Qin’s subordinate, he would naturally …

Lin Yi froze. What was the history of what happened to Meng Jia?

There were no actual historical facts to verify this, but he vaguely remembered that after the a.s.sa.s.sination, the Qin King was furious, and all related personnel were imprisoned. Naturally, Meng Jia, the primary accomplice who had single-handedly facilitated the a.s.sa.s.sination, was one of them. With the Qin King’s personality, the chances of him surviving were extremely low. He would definitely die!

In other words, Lin Yi would be dead for sure if the situation continued to develop according to history!

Lin Yi broke out in a cold sweat. He thought that it was an easy and pleasant thing, but he didn’t expect it to be so dangerous. However, if he were to change history and let Jing Ke succeed in his a.s.sa.s.sination, when the King of Qin dies, the whole Qin country would be furious, and he, the number one accomplice, would also be killed!

It was a dead end on both sides.

No wonder his mission was to simply live on. It was not simple at all.

Just as Lin Yi was in a dilemma, a disciple came to report,””Your Excellency, there’s someone outside asking for an audience. He claims to be an envoy from the Yan Kingdom.”

lin yi blinked. was the plot starting already?

“my lord? my lord?”

lin yi’s face was expressionless, and the student whispered,””that person claimed to have prepared a generous gift for you, my lord.”

lin yi reacted and looked at him indifferently,”then bring him to see me.”

in fact, a thought flashed through his mind just now. what would happen if he rejected the other party’s bribe? would he be able to avoid the dilemma of certain death?

From a logical point of view, this might be the most realistic solution. After all, in theory, as long as he stayed out of it, whether Jing Ke’s attempt to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Qin Empire happened or not, whether it succeeded or not, it would have nothing to do with the current Meng Jia. Naturally, he would not be the one to be held accountable after the incident.

However, would the trial of a.s.sa.s.sins, which was said to have a 90% chance of survival, really be so simple?

If he could advance to the next realm in vain by dragging out the matter unconcerned, would there be such a good thing in the world? Did he really think that the G.o.d of Slaughter, Baiqi, was a philanthropist?

So Lin Yi didn’t hesitate at all, making the illogical decision to meet the envoy.

Very quickly, a middle-aged man with an imposing appearance entered the room. From his reserved manner, Lin Yi could tell that he wasn’t an ordinary person. For a moment, Lin Yi even thought that this man was Jing Ke!

However, he quickly realized that this person couldn’t be Jing Ke, but he was probably a pract.i.tioner who had partic.i.p.ated in the a.s.sa.s.sin’s baptism like him, and his realm wasn’t low either. Even Lin Yi couldn’t see through him.

As expected, this man must be one of the partic.i.p.ants in Jing Ke’s a.s.sa.s.sination of Qin. He could even be said to be one of the key figures. As an envoy of the Yan Kingdom, it was reasonable for him to be absent from the last crucial scene.

But for Lin Yi, who was disguised as Mengjia, the other party might not be so friendly, at least not on the same side.

Pract.i.tioners who partic.i.p.ated in the a.s.sa.s.sin’s baptism were the most dangerous people to be on guard against. This was undeniable. From Lin Yi’s own situation, different ident.i.ties and different camps would inevitably lead to different missions. There was a high probability that pract.i.tioners would end up killing each other.

If not for this, the a.s.sa.s.sin’s baptism would not have such a high mortality rate.

“A giant at the middle stage of the consummate level? Hehe, when did the a.s.sa.s.sin’s baptism become so low level?”

The man revealed his ident.i.ty without any restraint, and the disdain disappeared in a flash. Lin Yi didn’t know if it was real disdain or if it was just a pretense.

Lin Yi paused and pretended to be surprised,”Are you also a cultivator who partic.i.p.ated in the baptism?”

With Lin Yi’s ability, it wasn’t hard for him to hide his Qi like the other party, but the cultivation of a giant’s mid stage of full cultivation was the most perfect and real disguise for Lin Yi. He had to make the best use of it in this situation.

“Heh, you’re a rookie indeed. Is this your first time taking part in a baptism?”

The man laughed and sat down at the head of the table, pouring himself a cup of tea as he sized Lin Yi up.”Tell me, what kind of dog s.h.i.+t luck did you have to get this quota?”

Lin Yi revealed a troubled look at the perfect time,”This …”

“You’re just a rookie. What’s there to hide in front of a veteran like me? You really think I’m after you?”

The man cursed and said,””My name is Dong que. I’m a veteran who has been baptized twice. My current ident.i.ty is an envoy of the Yan Kingdom. I’m sure you know my mission. I’m here to bribe you so that you can help facilitate the meeting between the Yan Kingdom’s a.s.sa.s.sin group and the King of Qin. So, we’re in a cooperative relations.h.i.+p. Do you understand?”

Lin Yi’s eyes twitched as he caught the key information.”Two baptisms? Is a killer’s baptism that frequent?”

Dong que looked at him as if he was an idiot.”Any baptism quota is a great opportunity. Do you think it’s like a cabbage on the side of the road that can be picked up easily?”

“Uh … I really did pick it up …”

lin yi raised his hand weakly,”the spot was supposed to be my sister ‘s, but she was injured during a mission. my family had no choice but to give me the spot to make up for the numbers. i didn’t want to come at all.”

“……”

dong que wanted to punch lin yi in the face-he’d lost so much just to get a spot, even his own brother! he’d paid the price with his life just to get a spot, and lin yi’s image of him as a silly boy made him lose all interest in life.

“bro, when was the last time you went for a baptism?” lin yi asked weakly.

“five years ago.”

dong que looked at him angrily. jealousy twisted people. if it wasn’t for his mission, he really wanted to strangle this lucky fool to death.

“the a.s.sa.s.sin’s baptism happens once every five years?” lin yi asked.
