"Eh?"
This "eh" was naturally made by Sei Itō, but it wasn't because of Zhao Mu's resistance or Zhao Mu's swordsmanship. After all, no matter how excellent Zhao Mu's swordsmanship was, he was still at the mortal stage and hadn't reached the realm of divine skills. It wasn't exaggerated for Sei Itō, but the momentum and intention of this blow were somewhat beyond Sei Itō's expectation.
Although it was in a passive situation and Zhao Mu, who was the attacker, might not even realize it, it still showed that Zhao Mu was qualified to trigger the spiritual realm! In this case, what about those swordsmanship masters who were more powerful than Zhao Mu, who were known as the Sword Sage, and the masters of various sects? Had they reached the level of being able to use spiritual power?
This was what Sei Itō was concerned about! Because it was completely possible to increase the upper limit of this world's martial strength!
However, Sei Itō also knew that now wasn't the time to think about it. Therefore, he gently raised his arm and suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Mu's sword in a way that was clearly visible to the naked eye. He flicked his two fingers and hit the body of the sword before the blade.
In an instant, there was a crisp "bang" sound. Half of the sword was immediately separated from the body of the sword. It flew away and finally nailed into the wall on one side of the room.
Then, Sei Itō raised his foot and kicked Zhao Mu's lower abdomen, whose pupils shrank suddenly.
"Bang!"
In an instant, Zhao Mu flew out at a faster speed than when he came. He hit the wall next to him.
"Crash …"
The cabinet that was shattered by the huge force immediately collapsed and scattered on the ground messily.
"Ah!"
Seeing the invincible Marquis being knocked down. The maidservant Cui Niang screamed in fear.
However, probably because she knew that Zhao Mu had a special fetish and was used to the Marquis's room, even though Cui Niang screamed very loudly, none of the guards and hangers-on dared to enter the room. They were still patrolling outside peacefully.
Perhaps they had never thought that someone would be able to sneak in at this time of the day without making a sound. Or perhaps he had enough confidence in Zhao Mu's swordsmanship and didn't think that any Assassin could hurt him.
Sei Itō felt unhappy. He turned his head and glared fiercely at Cui Niang. Immediately after. Cui Niang's eyes rolled up. Her complexion turned blue, and she fell to the ground. Her eyes were wide open, and she lost her breath.
Clearly, Cui Niang's soul was shattered by the divine light emitted from Sei Itō's eyes.
"You're from the Yin-Yang School?!" Seeing Cui Niang's strange death, Zhao Mu's face was filled with fear as he asked in a hoarse voice.
"You don't need to know that," Sei Itō said as he turned around to look at Zhao Mu. Then, he stretched out a hand, and Zhao Mu's body seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand. It flew to the front of Ito Sei and finally fell into his hands.
"No, don't kill me. I'm willing to pledge my loyalty to you and become your slave!" Zhao Mu said in a trembling voice, his face filled with fear.
"Ah, right. There's also Zhao Ya. If you like her, I can give her to you. If you're not satisfied, I can give you many women. Princesses, concubines, and daughters of aristocratic families. As long as you tell me, I'll help you find any kind of woman, "Zhao Mu said as if he had thought of something.
Hearing Zhao Mu's words, Madam Fu's face turned pale. Madam Ya's face turned pale, and a wave of regret rose in her heart. She looked at Ito Sei with resentment and regret.
This powerful man should have belonged to her. Because of her wrong choice, she had lost him …
Thinking of this, Madam Fu's eyes couldn't help but shed tears of regret.
"I have plenty of women," Sei Itō said calmly.
After saying this, he released his spiritual energy and instantly invaded Zhao Mu's mind. He forcefully searched through Zhao Mu's memories. Of course, what he wanted to know wasn't some secret conspiracy. Instead, he wanted to know about the martial arts situation in this world.
Unfortunately, he didn't get what he wanted. In Zhao Mu's mind, apart from knowing that he was the illegitimate son of Chun Shenjun of the Chu Kingdom and that he came to the Zhao Kingdom to take over the throne, the rest of his memories were of how he harmed women and how he killed his enemies. As for swordsmanship, he only knew that he learned it from a swordsman that Chun Shenjun hired. As for what school of swordsmanship, he didn't know.
Anyway, he was sure that it wasn't from the Mo Family.
"Tsk." After obtaining these memories, Ito Sei curled his lips and burned these useless memories into nothingness with his spiritual fire. He then broke Zhao Mu's neck and threw Zhao Mu, who had lost his life with a crooked mouth and eyes, to the ground.
"Bang."
Hearing this muffled sound, Madam Ya, who had been in a state of regret, finally regained her senses.
"Darling Chen," Madam Fu pursed her lips and called out.
"I've already given you a chance. You didn't grasp it. You only have yourself to blame." Sei Itō looked at Madam Fu calmly and said.
"I know." Madam Fu bit her lips and said, "But I can help you."
"Help me with what?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I can tell others that Zhao Mu was killed by someone else. This way, no one will know the real cause of Zhao Mu's death and my brother won't vent his anger on you." Madam Fu hurriedly said.
"Compared to your method, there is actually a better choice." Sei Itō laughed softly.
Madam Fu's face turned pale and she closed her eyes as if she had accepted her fate. She said softly, "If you really want to do that, I have nothing to say."
"Ha." Sei Itō laughed softly and didn't make a move.
After waiting for a while, Madam Fu, who still didn't feel anything, was delighted. She quickly opened her eyes and looked at Sei Itō. Her face was glowing as she said, "Darling Chen, are you willing to forgive me?"
"Forgive? I've never been angry because of your choice. It's just that because of your choice, some opportunities won't come to you anymore. "Ito Sei said in a low voice, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Madam Fu's face changed again when she heard his reply. Her eyes were filled with resentment and regret. She then forced a smile and said, "I know, darling Chen doesn't trust me anymore. But I still want to say that I will cut off all contact with other men and serve you wholeheartedly. I will use my actions to prove my sincerity to you. "
Sei Itō laughed silently and didn't say anything.
"Also, I have an intelligence network that covers most of Handan and Zhao. I'm willing to give it to you, darling Chen, as long as you don't chase me away. Let me stay by your side so that I can prove my sincerity to you. "Madam Fu said anxiously.
"An intelligence network …" Sei Itō squinted his eyes and thought to himself.
As someone who was born in the future, Sei Itō naturally understood the importance of an intelligence network. Hence, every time he attacked a new world, he would gather information about the current world. He would set up an intelligence network first.
For example, when he attacked the Tang Dynasty world and the Three Kingdoms world, he spent most of his time on setting up an intelligence network. Then, he would plant spies or launch a global attack.
Hence, this time was no exception. He was planning to send people out after he had settled down. He wanted to set up an intelligence network in the seven Warring States countries as well as the entire world.
Hence, he was quite tempted by Zhao Ya's suggestion. After all, it was more difficult to set up an intelligence network in the Warring States Period than in any other dynasty after the Qin Dynasty. He couldn't fall behind in terms of languages either. At the very least, he had to master the official language of the Zhou Dynasty and seven or eight other languages. Furthermore, there were classes and slaves in this era, as well as the hatred between countries that had lasted for hundreds of years. Outsiders who had no connections would not be able to get in, much less enter the Wang Family or the Gong Family.
However, it wasn't that there was no solution. Sei Itō could use the technology in the Rubik's Cube world to create a portable translation machine. He could give it to every spy who went out on a mission to help them complete this step. However, the prerequisite for creating the translation machine was that Sei Itō had to gather information about the words and languages of the various countries. This wasn't something that could be solved in a short period of time. Hence, it wasn't as convenient as directly receiving information from the locals.
"You're quite considerate." Sei Itō laughed lightly.
Madam Fu smiled gently and walked in front of Sei Itō. She stretched out her arms and hugged his waist. Seeing that Sei Itō didn't object, Madam Fu felt more assured. She rested her head on Sei Itō's chest and listened to his strong heartbeat.
"Thump, thump …"
"My dear Chen, you should leave this place quickly. I will call someone to 'discover' the situation here." After a while, Madam Fu looked up at Sei Itō and said.
"Are you sure you want to serve me wholeheartedly?" Sei Itō looked into Madam Fu's eyes and asked softly.
"Do you want me to dig out my heart for you to believe me?" Madam Fu laughed bitterly.
"Alright then, let me see your intentions." Sei Itō said as he raised his arm and pressed his palm against Madam Fu's neck. In an instant, Madam Fu felt dizzy and her consciousness became blurry.
"In the end … you don't believe me …" Madam Fu laughed bitterly and lost consciousness.
Ito Cheng gently placed Madam Ya on the ground and pointed his finger at her. He cast an illusion on her body and immediately stood up straight. He activated his transformation technique and turned himself into a skinny old man. He then jumped out of the window next to him.
"Pa!"
"Hua la."
The sound of hardwood cracking could be heard in the mansion.
"Ah! There's an assassin! " Sei Itō, who was rushing out, used the Imitation Voice Technique to imitate Cui Niang's voice and screamed.
"What!"
With this scream, the entire mansion of Marquis Ju Lu was thrown into chaos.
Itsunari, who had turned into a skinny old man, did not hide. He swaggered directly to a place, and then a group of soldiers appeared in front of him. A cold light flashed in Ito Sei's eyes as he rushed to the front of the soldiers. Before they could react, he snatched a short sword and swept it across their bodies. Then, without stopping for a moment, he turned around and rushed past them. Under the gaze of another group of soldiers, he jumped over the high wall and escaped from Marquis Residence of Great Deer.
"Chase after him!" The soldier's face changed as he shouted.
On the other side, Sei Itō, who had escaped from the mansion of Marquis Ju Lu, dashed into a small alley. After a few turns, he arrived at a place where there was no one. Then, he activated his spatial ability and disappeared.
In the next second, Sei Itō, who was still in the form of a skinny old man, appeared in Madam Ya's room.
"Peng."
Sei Itō deactivated his Transformation Technique and walked to the bed in the room. He lowered his body and sat down.
"In the end, Zhao Ya must have been very disappointed." Sei Itō laughed softly.
…
At the same time, in the mansion of Marquis Ju Lu, the soldiers who were guarding the mansion finally discovered the condition of their master, Marquis Ju Lu, Zhao Mu. They also discovered Madam Ya, who was covered in blood and looked like she was on the verge of death.
"Quick, call the imperial physician!" One of the soldiers shouted loudly.
"Yes!"
"Also, quickly pass on the news of Marquis Ju Lu being assassinated to the king."
"Yes."
Then, the soldiers split up and rushed to the palace and the imperial physician's house. They went to find the imperial physician and report to King Zhao that Marquis Ju Lu had been assassinated.
Of course, there was nothing much to say about finding the imperial physician to save Zhao Ya. It was just a mess. On the other hand, the palace was in a state of turmoil. Thunderous anger filled the entire court.
"Investigate this! Investigate thoroughly! You must find that damned assassin for me! " An old man, who was dressed in a black ceremonial robe, had a rather fat body and fair skin. However, he didn't seem to be in high spirits. Instead, he looked like he was about to die. It wasn't clear if he was angry because his favorite man, Zhao Mu, was killed or because his sister, Zhao Ya, was assassinated.
Thinking about it, it was probably the former. After all, he didn't even 'love' the women in his harem. Why would he care so much about his sister? Zhao Mu, who was so close to him, made his heart ache.
"Oh right, how is Madam Ya?" At this moment, King Zhao, who had finally thought of his sister, asked.
"She is receiving treatment from the imperial physician. The details are not clear." The official who came to report replied.
"Hurry up and take a look!" King Zhao roared angrily.
"Yes." The official replied in a panic and quickly left the palace.
Around four hours later, in a certain bedroom in the heavily guarded Marquis Ju Lu's mansion, Madam Ya, who had been under the care of many maids, slowly woke up from her coma.
"I'm not dead!?" Madam Ya looked at the furnishings in the room and said in a daze.
"She's awake! Madam Ya is awake! Quickly call the imperial physician. "At this moment, a maid who heard Madam Ya's words said anxiously. Following which, frantic footsteps sounded in Madam Ya's ears.
"So, I'm not dead." Madam Ya, who had finally confirmed that she wasn't dead, smiled gently. Her eyes were filled with joy as she spoke softly.
