Chapter 684 (1/2)

At first, the four countries believed that the Nanman kingdom had become history. Even Yu Wenqing, who had established Dachang state, said that he would not investigate the matter of the four countries' joint attack on Nanman kingdom. Therefore, for a time, the seven countries in the South were in peace. After all, after several wars, all countries suffered losses, so they all focused on their own cultivation and health.

As the leading country in that battle, there was no exception in the post Qin state. In that year, Luo Tianhan, a general of the post Qin state, was appointed the city Lord of the south of Beijing. He was also the first and only city Lord of the post Qin state since the founding of the people's Republic of China. Ying Yan, the head of the state of the late Qin Dynasty, set the capital of the state in Biancheng, and organized the latter Qin army into two systems, namely, the city guarding army and the local army, and were respectively placed in Biancheng and other cities of the post Qin state, and began to focus on the management of the internal affairs of the state.

At the end of the year, most of the cities in the territory of the state of post Qin ushered in the harvest of this year. As the leader of the state of post Qin, Ying Yan was naturally very happy. After receiving this news, Ying Yan even ordered ancestor worship to thank the gods in heaven for their protection of the post Qin state. The site of ancestor worship was selected on a high mountain a hundred miles north of Bian city.

Originally, this was a happy thing. Because of the harvest of the late Qin state, the people were full of confidence in the new country. As the master of the country, Yingyan also won the support of the people. Therefore, when people in Bian city learned that Ying Yan was going to go out of the city to worship their ancestors, they all rushed to the gate of the city to watch.

Ying Yan was naturally very happy to be supported by the people, but this joy made him forget himself. In order to show that he was close to the people, Ying Yan let his guard let go and let some people come to his side to express his sympathy to them. Although Ying Yan's action made the guards nervous, they could not violate Ying Yan's orders. They could only watch carefully to prevent anyone who might endanger the safety of Yingyan.

But fortunately, from the palace to the north gate, there was no accident, which also let those guards have a relaxed heart. However, they never thought that what they had worried about before was that it happened not long after the winning team just walked out of the north gate. When the guards escorted Ying Yan to the north of the city to worship his ancestors, thousands of assassins dressed in black suddenly fell from the sky and surrounded Ying Yan's team directly.

Ying Yan took only a few hundred people with him when he left the city to worship his ancestors. Among them, there were only a few hundred guards. The rest were maids and servants who were responsible for serving Ying Yan, as well as some low-level civil servants who were responsible for assisting Ying Yan's ancestor worship. This kind of formation may be able to deal with dozens of assassins, but the thousands of assassins were really caught off guard.

Moreover, these assassins obviously had a premeditation. In the first place, they cut off Ying Yan's route back to the city and forced him to the countryside. Ying Yan also tried to send some people back to the city to report the news, but he was killed by these assassins, and none of them could break through the encirclement. Although all the guards under Ying Yan are good at it, the Assassins' skills are not low, and they occupy an advantage in number. If it was not for the desperate protection of those guards, and the maids, servants and civil servants under Ying Yan's command voluntarily or involuntarily sacrificed for Yingyan, I'm afraid that Ying Yan would have been assassinated by these assassins.

Rao is so, Yingyan can only take the team to fight and retreat. Since he can't return to the city, Ying Yan can only withdraw to the mountain where the ancestor worship was planned under the protection of his subordinates. However, Yingyan has no reinforcements, and the assassins are always chasing. If this goes on, it will be sooner or later for these assassins to succeed.

At this time, a team came from the north. The number of the team was not large, only 18. All of them were generals of the late Qin Dynasty in black armor. These generals had just passed by here. They saw that their emperor was being hunted down. They didn't care so much and all came to rescue them.

Although the number of these 18 men was too small, they were all very capable. They were able to protect them strictly. When the city guards came to wipe out these assassins. It was later learned that these assassins were the remaining evils of the perished Nanman kingdom. They were all guards in the palace of Nanman kingdom. Because they could not protect the life of the head of Nanman Kingdom, they determined to revenge and assassinate the heads of the four countries. Unfortunately, Yingyan became the first one they killed.
