He did what he said. In the dead of night, Xiang Zhuang dressed in black and sneaked to the side of Hangu Pass.
As the protagonist, Xiang Shaolong naturally had some golden fingers. For example, he had built some gadgets for the special forces to climb walls and jump over houses. These things have been improved and innovated after so many years. For example, what Xiang Yu is holding now is the improved version invented by his father. It has its own mechanism and can be shot out like an arrow and hung on the city wall to climb over.
However, Xiang Yu himself did not like such things that looked like stealing, so he gave them to his adopted sister. Xiang Zhuang, on the other hand, had a different personality from Xiang Yu. She was obsessed with these little gadgets and had used them to kill several Qin generals. This time, she was obviously planning to use the same trick again and assassinate Fang Zheng.
Although Hangu Pass was a natural cliff, it was also suitable for climbing because of this. With the help of the claws, Xiang Zhuang, who was dressed in black, climbed up without much effort and then entered Hangu Pass. However, when he got inside Hangu Pass, he was a little confused by the situation in front of him.
"What should I do..."
Standing on the cliff, Xiang Zhuang looked forward and saw that the entire Hangu Pass was brightly lit. It was clearly night, but it was no different from daytime. She didn't know if it was Xiang Zhuang's illusion, but she always felt that the lights inside and outside the Hangu Pass seemed to be brighter than those in her own military camp, illuminating the entire Hangu Pass.
In addition, Xiang Zhuang could also see several strange things on both sides of the city wall. They looked like cylinders with a huge bronze mirror inside. A lamp was lit in it, and the light reflected by the bronze mirror swept across the ground, making the originally dark places in the distance bright and conspicuous.
"It's so weird, what the hell is this!"
Looking at those strange cylinders, Xiang Zhuang also complained in a low voice. She was best at stealth assassination, so she knew that this kind of thing was the most difficult for stealth assassins like them. After all, in this era, even if torches were used for lighting, they could only illuminate the area on the edge of the city wall, and the brightness of torches was limited after all.
However, this method can illuminate the outside of the city wall. Although it does not reach the effect of daylight, once a figure flashes by, it will be seen clearly by the soldiers guarding the city wall. At that time, any infiltration will be useless.
Not only that, as a martial arts master, Xiang Zhuang could also sense that the soldiers currently patrolling on the city wall basically knew some martial arts. Of course, it was not surprising for people in the army to practice martial arts, but some of them even seemed to be on par with himself, which made Xiang Zhuang very embarrassed.
She originally wanted to see what those black cylinders on the city wall were, but that thing was obviously guarded very closely by the other party. Xiang Zhuang couldn't find an opportunity no matter how hard she looked. She had no choice but to give up and turn to look for Fang Zheng.
but……
These soldiers are really strange.
The more she observed, the more curious Xiang Zhuang became. She had sneaked into many mansions and military camps and knew a little about these things. In Xiang Zhuang's view, the soldiers in Hangu Pass were full of vigor and spirit, which was not surprising. After all, some armies with strict military discipline could also do this, such as the army of the tyrant Ying Zheng, who was very magnanimous.
But there were some things that Xiang Zhuang didn't quite understand.
That is, these soldiers were not only full of energy and spirit, but also seemed very determined. Based on Xiang Zhuang's experience, they should be happy that they could easily repel 400,000 troops today. However, she quietly observed along the way and found that the expressions of each soldier were very normal, and they did not seem to be particularly excited. Not only that, their every move gave Xiang Zhuang a strange feeling, that is, they were not fighting for their ruler, but for themselves.
And it’s not just a fight for survival!
Xiang Zhuang was very aware of this. After all, when Xiang Yu fought desperately to defeat the Qin army, Xiang Zhuang was one of them. But now the situation of these soldiers was very unusual.
Weird, just like him.
It was very troublesome and difficult for Xiang Zhuang to sneak past these soldiers. She knew that if such a disciplined army was alarmed, it would be troublesome. Fortunately, she had this unique mechanical hook, so climbing over the eaves and walls was not a problem. While the enemy was not paying attention, Xiang Zhuang successfully sneaked into 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 his own experience, Xiang Zhuang quickly found the house specially used for the general and others in the building complex, and... he found Fang Zheng quite smoothly.
In a bedroom on the inside, the window was wide open. With the help of moonlight, Xiang Zhuang could even clearly see Fang Zheng lying on the bed and snoring.
"Humph, there's not even a guard nearby. You're really careless."
Looking at the sleeping Fang Zheng, Xiang Zhuang gnashed her teeth. She had checked before and found that there was not even a single guard nearby. If an ordinary general had done this, Xiang Zhuang would have suspected that this was a trap. However, she had met Fang Zheng once before and they had "fought against each other". Naturally, she knew that this man was extremely skilled in martial arts and was not afraid of being attacked by surprise.
But it's just an assassination... hehehe...
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xiang Zhuang's lips, and then he took out the dagger at hand, which was coated with a dark blue poison. This was a deadly poison that Xiang Zhuang extracted from the fangs of several venomous snakes. It would kill the person instantly if it came into contact with blood, even if it didn't hit the vital points, even if it just scratched the skin.
Xiang Yu never liked such crooked ways and once educated Xiang Zhuang, he believed that a real man should be upright and should not do such insidious and despicable things.
However, Xiang Zhuang said, "I am a woman, not a man, so what does it have to do with me?"
Xiang Yu was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"alright!"
After preparing himself again, Xiang Zhuang landed quietly like a cat, then quietly walked to Fang Zheng's bedroom door, stretched out his hand to push 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 items breaking through the air was enough to alert those with superb martial arts skills. Her sneak attacks had never been successful against Xiang Yu. It could be seen that using these things to deal with Fang Zheng would probably only alert the enemy.
Walking into the bedroom, Xiang Zhuang held the dagger tightly and walked towards Fang Zheng carefully step by step. At the same time, she also carefully observed Fang Zheng's breathing and movements. If he showed any abnormality, Xiang Zhuang would immediately choose to escape. However, Fang Zheng seemed to be unaware of Xiang Zhuang's arrival and just lay in bed and slept soundly.
Hey, he's a handsome man.
With the help of the moonlight, Xiang Zhuang could see Fang Zheng's appearance clearly, and her face turned slightly red. She didn't know why her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She didn't pay much attention to Fang Zheng's appearance when they were dancing with swords before, but now she observed carefully and found that the man in front of her was much more handsome than her sworn brother. Even just his sleeping posture made her feel a little distracted...
What am I thinking about!
Xiang Zhuang was shocked, and then quickly regained consciousness. She didn't know why, but the more she looked at Fang Zheng, the more intoxicated she became, and she almost got addicted. Thanks to her years of alertness as an assassin, Xiang Zhuang came back to her senses. At this moment, she had already walked to the bed, looked at Fang Zheng in front of her, and then gritted her teeth.
Die!
Xiang Zhuang shouted in her heart, and then the dagger in her hand immediately turned into a poisonous snake and cut towards Fang Zheng's neck!
I have to say that Xiang Zhuang's move was really ruthless. As long as he could cut Fang Zheng's neck, he would not be able to make a sound even if he woke up. And even if he failed, the opponent would use his hands to block it, and the poison on the blade would kill him immediately!
However, Xiang Zhuang had made all kinds of plans, but he never expected that his dagger would indeed hit Fang Zheng's neck, but...
"clang!!"
With a slight sound, the next moment the dagger in Xiang Zhuang's hand broke directly! !
Broken! ?
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 Fang Zheng's skin, she could still feel that it was human skin. But when she exerted a little force, the originally soft skin felt like it was as hard as gold and stone.
What kind of Kung Fu is this?!
Xiang Zhuang was shocked by this sudden change. After a moment's pause, she wanted to turn around and run. However, before she started, she felt her body tremble, and then she fell limply to the ground.
“Huh…”
At the same time, accompanied by a yawn, Fang Zheng sat up from the bed, stretched, and looked at Xiang Zhuang who was sitting on the ground.
"I was wondering who was disturbing my sweet dreams in the middle of the night, but it turned out to be you..."
"So what?"
At this moment, Xiang Zhuang also realized that he had fallen into the opponent's trap, and he looked at Fang Zheng viciously in helplessness.
"My brother defeated hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in Julu. He is the overlord who deserves to rule the world. A despicable villain like you would only take advantage of the situation and use such shameful means!"
"Oh, so he sent you to kill me?"
Hearing Xiang Zhuang's words, Fang Zheng touched his chin and laughed.
"No!"
Hearing this, Xiang Zhuang immediately cried out.
"My brother is so powerful that he would not resort to such mean tactics. This was all done by me alone!"
"That's what I said, but who would believe it?"
Fang Zheng folded his arms and looked at Xiang Zhuang with interest.
"If you say it's not true, then it's not true. Although Xiang Yu is indeed a reckless person, he doesn't have no strategies at all, right?"
"You are not allowed to insult my brother!"
Hearing this, Xiang Zhuang shouted out even more.
"I did all this alone. If you dare, come at me. I will kill you or chop you up as you please. I, Xiang Zhuang, will never frown!"
"very good."
In response to Xiang Zhuang's words, Fang Zheng stood up and walked in front of Xiang Zhuang.
"You said it, don't regret it."
“Woo…”
Looking at Fang Zheng's hand reaching out to her, Xiang Zhuang gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. As an assassin, she certainly knew what the consequences would be if she failed, but... things had come to this point, and 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 on the soft bed with a heavy "bang".
"Hey? Hey?!"
The girl opened her eyes in surprise, and saw Fang Zheng walking towards her slowly, taking off his pajamas.
"Wait, wait a minute, what are you doing?"
"Is there any need to ask? Since you disturbed my sweet dream, you should take responsibility and let me have a good dream."
"You, you are such a person!"
Looking at Fang Zheng in front of her, the girl widened her eyes.
"Why am I such a person? Didn't you say that I can do whatever I want to you? Then how I want to deal with you now is my business. You are an assassin who failed in the assassination, you don't think you can decide what punishment you will receive."
At this point, Fang Zheng had already come to the girl. He then reached out his hand to grab the girl's clothes and gently pulled them. With a "rip" sound, the black tight nightgown was torn to pieces, revealing the white and delicate skin and body inside. Feeling the chill of the night, the girl shivered suddenly.
"Wait, wait, woof..."
However, before the girl could finish her words, Fang Zheng lowered his head and covered her lips.
The window that was originally open closed with a "click", blocking the moonlight and plunging the entire room into darkness.
