Without any hesitation, Xiang Zhuang, dressed in black, snuck to the side of Hangu Pass in the dead of night.
As the main character in the game, Xiang Shaolong naturally had a few tricks up his sleeves. For example, he had once created some gadgets for the special forces to climb over walls and buildings. After so many years of improvement, these gadgets had also been innovated. The one Xiang Yu was using now was an improved version invented by his father. It had its own mechanism and could be shot out like an arrow, then hung on the wall to climb over.
However, Xiang Yu didn't like these things that looked like they were stolen, so he gave them to his sworn sister. Xiang Zhuang, on the other hand, had a different personality from Xiang Yu. She loved these gadgets so much that she couldn't bear to part with them. She had used them to kill a few Qin generals. This time, she was obviously planning to use the same trick to assassinate Fangzheng.
Although Hangu Pass was a natural cliff, it was also because of this that it was suitable for climbing. Using the hooks and claws, the black-clothed Xiang Zhuang climbed up effortlessly and entered Hangu Pass. However, when she entered Hangu Pass and saw the situation before her, Xiang Zhuang was at a loss.
"What should I do …"
Standing on the cliff, Xiang Zhuang looked ahead. She could see that the entire Hangu Pass was brightly lit. It was clearly night, but it was no different from daytime. Xiang Zhuang didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the torches inside and outside Hangu Pass were even brighter than the torches in her army camp. The entire Hangu Pass was brightly lit.
Apart from that, Xiang Zhuang could also see a few strange objects propped up on both sides of the wall. They looked like cylinders, with a huge bronze mirror inside. There was even a lamp in one of the cylinders. The light reflected by the bronze mirror swept across the ground, illuminating the originally pitch-black areas in the distance.
"Strange, what are these things!"
Xiang Zhuang complained in a low voice as she looked at the strange cylinders. She was an expert in infiltration and assassination, so she understood that these things were the most troublesome to deal with for assassins like her. After all, in this era, even if torches were used to illuminate the area, they would only be able to illuminate the area at the edge of the city wall. Moreover, the brightness of the torches was limited.
However, this method could illuminate the area outside the city walls. Although it wasn't as bright as day, once a figure flashed by, it would be clearly seen by the soldiers guarding the city walls. At that time, it would be useless to sneak in.
Not only that, as a martial arts master, Xiang Zhuang could also sense that the soldiers patrolling on the city wall basically knew some martial arts. Of course, it was not strange for people in the military to know martial arts, but some of them seemed to be on par with him, which made Xiang Zhuang feel very awkward.
She originally wanted to see what the black cylinders on the city wall were, but they were obviously being watched very closely by the enemy. Xiang Zhuang couldn't find a chance no matter how hard she looked. She had no choice but to give up and look for Fangzheng.
However...
These soldiers were really strange.
The more she observed, the more curious Xiang Zhuang became. She had infiltrated many mansions and military camps before, so she had some understanding of these things. From Xiang Zhuang's point of view, these soldiers at Hangu Pass were full of vigor. This wasn't strange. After all, some armies with strict military discipline could also do this. For example, the troops of the tyrant Ying Zheng were very dignified.
But there were some things that Xiang Zhuang couldn't understand.
Not only were these soldiers full of vigor, they also seemed to be very determined. Based on Xiang Zhuang's experience, these soldiers should be happy to be able to so easily repel an army of 400,000. However, she secretly observed along the way and found that every soldier's expression was very normal, as if they weren't particularly excited because of this. Not only that, but their every action gave Xiang Zhuang a strange feeling. They weren't fighting for their ruler, but for themselves.
And it wasn't the kind of fight that was purely for survival!
Xiang Zhuang understood this very well. After all, when Xiang Yu went all out to defeat the Qin army, Xiang Zhuang was also one of them. But now, these soldiers were acting very strangely.
Strange, just like him.
It would be very troublesome and difficult for Xiang Zhuang to sneak past these soldiers. She knew that with such strict military discipline, it would be troublesome if they were alarmed. Fortunately, she had these special mechanical hooks, so it wasn't a problem for her to leap onto roofs and vault over walls. While the soldiers weren't paying attention, Xiang Zhuang successfully infiltrated Hangu Pass alone. Of course, it took a lot more time. At least, when Xiang Zhuang sneaked into the pass, it was already midnight.
Relying on her experience, Xiang Zhuang very quickly found a house specially for the general and the others, and... she also found Fangzheng without much trouble.
In the inner bedroom, the window was wide open. With the help of the moonlight, Xiang Zhuang could even clearly see Fangzheng sleeping soundly on the bed.
"Hmph, there's not even a guard nearby. How careless."
Looking at the snoring Fangzheng, Xiang Zhuang gritted her teeth. She had already scouted the area, and there wasn't a single guard nearby. If it were any other general, Xiang Zhuang would definitely suspect that it was some kind of trap. But she had already met Fangzheng once, and could be considered to have "fought" with him. She naturally knew that his martial arts were exceptionally strong, and he wasn't afraid of being ambushed at all.
But when it comes to assassination... heh heh heh...
At this thought, Xiang Zhuang's lips curled into a smile. She took out the dagger beside her and smeared it with a dark blue poison. This was a highly toxic poison she extracted from the fangs of several poisonous snakes. Once it touched the blood, the throat would be sealed. Even if she didn't stab a vital point, just a slight scratch on the skin would be enough to kill her.
Xiang Yu had never been a fan of such crooked methods. She had once taught Xiang Zhuang that a real man should stand up to the heavens and not do such despicable things.
But Xiang Zhuang thought, I'm just a little girl, not a real man. What does that have to do with me?
Xiang Yu was speechless. She didn't know what to say.
"Alright!"
After another round of preparation, Xiang Zhuang landed on the ground quietly like a cat. She quietly walked to the door of Fangzheng's bedroom, pushed the door open, and slowly walked into the room.
Although she could also use crossbows and darts, Xiang Zhuang knew that the sound of these flying tools was enough to alert martial arts experts. She had never succeeded in ambushing Xiang Yu before, so using these things to deal with Fangzheng would only alert the enemy.
Entering the bedroom, Xiang Zhuang gripped her dagger tightly and walked cautiously towards Fangzheng, one step at a time. At the same time, she carefully observed Fangzheng's breathing and movements. If he showed any abnormalities, Xiang Zhuang would immediately choose to run. However, Fangzheng seemed to be completely unaware of Xiang Zhuang's arrival. He was just lying on the bed, snoring loudly.
Heh, what a handsome man.
With the help of the moonlight, Xiang Zhuang could clearly see Fangzheng's appearance. She blushed slightly. She didn't know why, but her heart suddenly beat faster. She hadn't paid much attention to Fangzheng's appearance when she was practicing her swordsmanship, but now that she had a closer look, she realized that the man before her was much more handsome than her sworn brother. Even his sleeping posture was enough to make her feel a little out of her mind …
What am I thinking!
Xiang Zhuang was shocked, but she quickly regained her senses. She didn't know why, but the more she looked at Fangzheng, the more intoxicated she felt. She almost lost herself in him. Thanks to her years of vigilance as an assassin, Xiang Zhuang finally regained her senses. She had already walked to the bed. Looking at Fangzheng, she gritted her teeth.
"Die!"
Xiang Zhuang shouted in her heart. The dagger in her hand immediately turned into a poisonous snake and slashed at Fangzheng's neck!
It had to be said that Xiang Zhuang's move was really ruthless. As long as she could cut Fangzheng's neck, he wouldn't be able to make a sound even if he woke up. Even if she didn't succeed, as long as he blocked it with his hand, the poison on the blade would immediately kill him!
However, no matter how much Xiang Zhuang calculated, she didn't expect that her dagger would indeed cut Fangzheng's neck, but …
Clang!!
Accompanied by a soft sound, the dagger in Xiang Zhuang's hand actually broke!!
It broke!?
Looking at the broken dagger in her hand, even Xiang Zhuang was stunned for a moment. She could feel that when the blade in her hand touched Fangzheng's skin, she could still feel that it was human skin. However, when she exerted a bit of force, the originally soft skin became as hard as metal and stone.
What kind of skill was this?!
This sudden change shocked Xiang Zhuang. She was stunned for a moment and immediately wanted to turn around and run, but before she could move, she felt her body tremble, then she fell weakly to the ground.
"Yawn …"
At the same time, accompanied by a yawn, Fangzheng sat up from the bed, stretched, and looked at Xiang Zhuang who was sitting on the ground.
"I was wondering who was disturbing my sleep in the middle of the night. So it's you …"
"So what if it is?"
At this moment, Xiang Zhuang also knew that she had fallen into his trap. She helplessly glared at Fangzheng.
"My sworn brother defeated hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers at Julu. He is the true overlord of the world. A despicable person like you only knows how to take advantage of the situation and use such shameful methods! "
"Oh, so he sent you to assassinate me?"
Hearing Xiang Zhuang's words, Fangzheng rubbed his chin and chuckled.
"Of course not!"
Hearing this, Xiang Zhuang immediately cried out.
"My sworn brother's divine power is unparalleled, he wouldn't use such despicable methods. This is all my doing!"
"That's true, but who would believe you?"
Fangzheng folded his arms and looked at Xiang Zhuang with interest.
"You think you can say no just because you say so? Although Xiang Yu is indeed a boorish fellow, he shouldn't be without a plan. "
"Don't you dare insult my sworn brother!"
Hearing this, Xiang Zhuang cried out.
"This is all my doing. If you have the guts, come at me. Do whatever you want to me. I, Xiang Zhuang, will not frown!"
"Very well."
Hearing Xiang Zhuang's words, Fangzheng stood up and walked in front of Xiang Zhuang.
"This is what you said, don't regret it."
"Ugh …"
Looking at Fangzheng's outstretched hand, Xiang Zhuang clenched her teeth and closed her eyes. As an assassin, of course, she knew what would happen if she failed, but … since things had already come to this, she could only pray that the other party would give her a quick death.
However, what Xiang Zhuang did not expect was that the next moment, she felt her body suddenly suspended in the air, then flew through the air and landed heavily on the soft bed with a thud.
"Eh? Eh?! "
The girl opened her eyes in shock and saw Fangzheng slowly walking towards her, at the same time taking off his pajamas.
"Wait, wait a minute, what are you doing?"
"Do you even need to ask? Since you've disturbed my sweet dreams, then you should take responsibility and let me have a good dream. "
"You, you're actually this kind of person!"
Looking at Fangzheng, the girl's eyes widened.
"How am I this kind of person? Didn't you say that I can do whatever I want to you? Then what I want to do with you now is my business. You're an assassin who failed in her assassination, don't tell me you think you can dictate what kind of punishment you'll receive. "
Saying that, Fangzheng had already reached the girl. He reached out his hand to grab the girl's clothes and gently pulled. With a tearing sound, the black tight-fitting night clothes were instantly torn to shreds, revealing the fair and delicate skin and body underneath. Feeling the chill of the night, the girl suddenly trembled.
"Wait, wait, ugh …"
However, before the girl could finish her words, Fangzheng lowered his head and covered the girl's cherry lips.
Soon, the sound of painful breathing was heard, followed by the sound of a struggle. But not long after, accompanied by a suppressed cry, there was a squeaking sound in front of the window. At the next moment, as if it couldn't withstand the shaking, the window that was originally opened closed with a "pa da" sound, blocking the moonlight and plunging the entire room into darkness.
