Beauty and the Bodyguard

"It would be nice to be stronger."

Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly sigh. If he had the strength of Luo Banshi, there would be no need for headaches at all. As long as there is no fundamental task conflict, any other party that dominates the situation must take care of its own interests.

Looking back now, although Lin Yi's strength is still first-rate, and he will not come to fight unless it is absolutely necessary, but there is still a risk of being plotted. At best, this kind of calculation is transferred from the table to the table, and that's it. That’s all.

At least one thing is certain, in the eyes of the King of Qin who was deeply involved in the drama, he was just a pawn.

Lin Yi took a deep breath. It had been a long time since he felt like his fate was not under his control.

Even in Jianghai College before, no matter whether it was the Academic Council or the Repeater College, although there were many masters, Lin Yi's strength was not outstanding in comparison, but at least there was a basic order in the college, even if it was known as a masterless college. The local repeater college also has a basic order of survival, not to mention that there is a Luo Banshi standing behind him.

Many times danger is danger, but at least it is Lin Yi's own choice.

Unlike now, when you become the fulcrum of all parties, you may be overwhelmed by the general trend at any time. The feeling of being involuntarily is everywhere.

Lin Yi is naturally not someone who is willing to passively wait for death. If things continue to develop normally, King Qin will really have the last laugh. Who can guarantee that he will not burn bridges by crossing the river in the end?

Therefore, we must take the initiative to break the situation and take more initiative!

"We need a suitable opportunity."

What Lin Yi didn't expect was that the opportunity would come much sooner than he expected. As soon as he returned home from Xianyang Palace, he met Dong Que.

Seeing Dong Que's anxious look, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile: "Your Excellency went and came back. Could it be that you came back to collect the body for me because of your conscience?"

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Dong Que looked embarrassed. Although it is a unified code of conduct in the cultivation world to die for fellow Taoists and not to die for poor Taoists, it is still a bit unreasonable to put it on the table, not to mention that he still has Lin Yi to ask for.

Lin Yi would not be entangled in this kind of thing. He just casually nodded and got down to the topic: "I have already mentioned to the King of Qin that Yan State wants to surrender, and he also expressed his willingness to accept it. You can take action. Of course, the sincerity must be given, after all, the King of Qin is a great leader of the generation and is not so easy to fool."

"Okay, we are indeed friends enough!"

Dong Que was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he looked sarcastic: "But now there is something I need your help with, which concerns the sincerity of our Yan State to the King of Qin."

Lin Yi was stunned: "What sincerity?"

Dong Que said helplessly: "Fan Yuqi defected and has now fled to Xianyang. It seems that he is preparing to join the King of Qin himself."

"..."

Lin Yi spit out a mouthful of old tea on the spot.

Who is Fan Yuqi? If he hadn't carefully reviewed the entire process of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, Lin Yi might not have been able to remember it for a while.

This man was originally a general of the Qin State. He should have participated in the failed rebellion of Lao Ai and defected to the Qin State out of fear of crime. In history, Prince Dan of Yan forced him to death in order to facilitate the killing and used his head to express his sincerity to the King of Qin.

Logically speaking, Yan State would never allow such an important person to escape under any circumstances. What's more, even if Fan Yuqi wanted to escape, he would never take the initiative to flee to Qin State. You must know that the cruel punishments of Qin State are famous all over the world. Seeking death is not the way to play.

But if you think about it carefully, if Fan Yuqi was disguised as a practitioner, it would not be so difficult to understand.

This person's situation is the same as that of Lin Yi and Meng Jia. It is destined to be an extremely embarrassing situation, even worse than Lin Yi. Meng Jia at least has a lot of use value before promoting the killing, and at least he can have both sides. operating space.

But Fan Yuqi's only use value may be that the person on the loan is used, and he doesn't even have the right to say no.

So from his point of view, defecting is the only option. As for the destination of defection, of course he can choose other places, but as a killer, there should not be such a free option. The more relaxed and happy it looks, the more dangerous it must be behind it. Heavy.

Maybe there will be a deus ex machina, and an old monster from the Yan Kingdom will appear and chase him thousands of miles away.

Therefore, even if it were Lin Yi, as long as the mission was not to destroy the King of Qin, he would most likely choose to join the Qin State. After all, this is the only place that the Yan State camp cannot easily get involved in. If the King of Qin is played by a practitioner, as long as the interests of both parties are If you agree, you may not be able to accept him.

Dong Que got angry and said: "Once Fan Yuqi is captured and accepted by the Qin army, the matter will be troublesome. Without his head, the sincerity required by the King of Qin will not be enough. Then it will be difficult to promote the killing. ”

Lin Yi looked at him calmly: "You came to me to ask me to catch him for you, right?"

"Your Excellency is a cheerful man, and he hits the nail on the head!"

Dong Que nodded honestly and politely. It was obvious that he had regarded Lin Yi as a grasshopper on a rope. After all, the evidence of Meng Jia's previous dark history was in his hands. It could be said that his whole life was in his hands. inside.

Lin Yi looked at him like an idiot and asked strangely: "Do I look that stupid?"

If before this, as long as Lin Yi didn't want to break the pot, there was a high probability that he would be pinched by the other party's nose. Unfortunately, he has now reached a direct tacit understanding with the King of Qin himself.

As long as he was of use to the King of Qin, let alone corruption and bribery, he would probably turn a blind eye to murder and arson in person. The other party's attempt to use this as a leverage to manipulate him was simply a miscalculation.

What's more, this little bit of information comes with Meng Jia's identity and has nothing to do with Lin Yi!

Just like the famous saying - you are arresting Lu Xun, what does it have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?

Seeing Lin Yi's reaction, Dong Que couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but threaten him: "Your Excellency, please think clearly. Helping us is actually helping yourself. If we really fall short, it won't mean anything to you. It’s a good thing, after all, we are in the same boat!”

"Really? Did I say I wanted to board your ship?"

Lin Yi's eyes turned cold, and the surrounding air instantly became ten degrees colder. As if he was being targeted by some ancient beast that must not be provoked, Dong Que's eyes flashed and he subconsciously wanted to run away.

Before, he thought that Lin Yi could survive the assassination of those two men because he was lucky enough to wait until the patrol team arrived, so he was able to escape with a small life. It was only then that he finally realized it.

I dare you to believe that this man in front of you is a fierce man who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger!

However, Dong Que had a guilty conscience. After all, no one who could participate in the baptism of killers was weak, so he immediately adjusted his attitude.

"I'm sorry, I used the wrong word. What I mean is that since we have reached a tacit understanding of cooperation, then naturally we must stick to it. This will be good for both you and me. Catching Fan Yuqi is not only important to us. , it’s also very important to Your Excellency, isn’t it?”

Lin Yi couldn't help but take a high look at this person. Sure enough, no one was a fuel-efficient lamp.
