Chapter 240 They...they are...eating people!
Chapter 240 They...they are...eating people!
With a loud shout, more than a dozen masked assassins dressed in black swooped down from the hillsides on both sides!
Their movements were swift and ruthless; they were completely well-trained killing machines.
"Clang clang clang!"
In a single exchange, the three or four trusted guards were hacked to the ground, their blood staining the ancient road.
"Ah! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
The carriage door was kicked open!
Zong Yu was dragged out of the carriage like a dead dog by two men in black.
He fell heavily onto the muddy ground.
Feeling the cold blade against his neck, Zong Yu trembled with fear, his face turning ashen.
A strong smell of urine instantly wafted out from under him.
He, the dignified young master of the Great Qin Dynasty, was so frightened that he wet his pants on the spot!
"Grandpas! Grandpas! Please spare my grandson!"
Ignoring the excruciating pain, Zong Yu, tears streaming down his face, repeatedly kowtowed on the ground.
"All my money is in the train carriage!"
"You can take all your personal belongings and jade items!"
"I beg you grandfathers to have mercy and spare my dog's life!"
"Tell me! The tarpaulin in your car and... um?"
Just as the leader of the men in black was about to press for answers, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
He stared intently at the pure gold token that had been exposed at Zong Yu's waist as he struggled.
Two large characters were prominently engraved on it:
Shaofu!
The men in black exchanged glances, their pupils suddenly contracting, and horror flashed in their eyes!
This is not some Guanzhong merchant!
This is Shaofu Zongyu, one of the Nine Ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, who is in charge of the wealth of the world!
The leader of the men in black had his eyes shift several times in an instant.
Killing a merchant is a trivial matter!
But if the Grand Master of Qin dies here, it will surely alarm the entire city of Xianyang!
At that time.
Black Ice Terrace, or even tens of thousands of Qin soldiers, would turn this place upside down.
Moreover, this old man is the Minister of the Imperial Household!
There must be someone among his servants who knows his whereabouts!
If you try to silence them, you'll inevitably get burned!
Moreover, this place is already outside of Shangdang County, so any subsequent investigation will not trace it back to Shangdang County!
Thinking of his master's grand plan, the leader in black made a decisive decision.
He ripped Zong Yu's money bag off his head and then gestured for his men to loot all the valuables in the carriage!
But he slapped the Shaofu token back at Zong Yu's face.
"Put the knife away!"
He sneered and slapped Zong Yu across the face, knocking out two of Zong Yu's molars.
"You're lucky you survived!"
"Today I'm only after your money, I won't kill you, but those eyes of yours are too restless!"
"Beat them! Just leave them breathing!"
"Bang! Bang bang!"
A dozen men in black put away their long swords and began punching and kicking Zong Yu on the ground.
"Ouch! Stop hitting me! Spare my life, brave warrior!"
Zong Yu rolled and howled in agony in the mud, his face bruised and swollen, unable to shed a tear.
He just couldn't understand why he was so kind by nature!
How could I have encountered such a calamity!
After a while.
The men in black retreated into the dense forest with their looted goods and disappeared without a trace.
In the mud.
Zong Yu, who had been wailing in pain, suddenly stopped moving.
The fear and trembling on his face vanished instantly!
He slowly climbed out of the mud and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were now filled with nothing but cold, ruthless cunning!
"Ha...pretending to be a robber for money!"
"Yet they dare not take this Shaofu token..."
Zong Yu gripped the gold medal tightly, gritting his teeth and sneering.
"This blood debt will be remembered by this official!"
He glanced coldly in the direction of Changzi County, then turned without hesitation and fled quickly towards Xianyang...
……
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away, at the end of the turbulent East China Sea.
A cheer suddenly erupted on the deck of the Qin Dynasty's First Fleet, which was sailing through the waves!
"Land! We can see land!"
"Master, it is the coastline of Japan!"
The soldiers on the watchtower waved their flags excitedly.
The five days went smoothly, and it was actually two days shorter than expected!
The sea breeze is blowing!
The wind caressed Zhang Fan's resolute face.
He stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the long, narrow island that was gradually becoming clearer on the distant horizon.
Without hesitation, he immediately dialed Zhu Feng's number.
"Reporting to the commander! The First Fleet of the Great Qin Dynasty has spotted the coast of Japan."
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Feng's voice was equally excited.
"Comrade Zhang Fan!"
"I have just finished reporting to the central command!"
"The central command has officially approved this operation!"
Zhu Feng's voice suddenly rose, each word deliberate and forceful:
"Comrade Zhang Fan, remember this!"
"Let those who took away the spark of civilization from the Central Plains back then, show them what's what!"
"What is this... Thunderous Fury from two thousand years in the future?!"
Followed by.
Zhu Feng's voice, exuding domineering power, continued to come through the receiver:
"As for what kind of butterfly effect taking action will have on history..."
"Comrade Zhang Fan, you don't need to have any worries, just go for it!"
"Just now, our aircraft carrier battle group weighed anchor and set sail, now heading at full speed towards the sea area!"
Zhu Feng's voice was as firm as iron, filled with murderous intent:
"The moment you make your move, the historical impact will be passed on—"
"Our strategic support forces will instantly sever their entire island nation's internet access!"
"Electronic warfare machines will completely block all satellite detection from the sky!"
"Two thousand years ago, you used the warships of the Qin Dynasty to flatten their coastline!"
"Two thousand years later, we will completely conquer it in one fell swoop!"
Listen to the orders coming from the phone!
Zhang Fan felt a surge of heat rush to his head!
That was the roar of countless Chinese ancestors over the past two thousand years!
The sea breeze is howling!
Zhang Fan clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted,
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
hang up the phone.
Zhang Fan took a deep breath, calming the surging blood within him.
He turned around and glanced at the generals on the deck.
"Where are the scouts?!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Several capable soldiers immediately stepped forward.
"Let's transfer to a smaller boat and dock first!"
Zhang Fan ordered in a deep voice, "Go and find out the situation around the coastline, and see where those remnants of Yan Qi are hiding!"
"promise!"
Accompanied by the sound of a winch turning.
Several light boats were quickly launched into the sea and sped off toward the distant coastline.
The main fleet remained anchored at sea, waiting quietly.
Not long after.
The small boat sped back, and several scouts quickly climbed the rope ladder onto the deck, kneeling down on one knee in front of Zhang Fan.
"Reporting to the Guru!"
"A tribe has been discovered at the edge of the dense forest near the coast!"
"Judging from their clothing and tents, they seem to be native Japanese savages!"
No trace of any remnants of the Yan state was found!
Speaking of it.
The scout leader suddenly stopped, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face, his expression extremely strange.
"and……"
Looking at the scout's hesitant manner.
The young general Wang Li, standing to the side, frowned, his hand on his sword hilt, and immediately rebuked:
"What kind of manners are these, stammering and hesitating!"
"And what? Tell me the truth!"
The scout was startled and quickly lowered his head to answer:
"General! They...they're...they're eating people!"
