Fan Kuai nodded heavily and replied firmly, "Brother Lin Xi, you can rest assured. We will take good care of our elder brother. We just hope you can return home soon." After saying that, the three of them smiled at each other, and their friendship seemed to deepen even more in this brief conversation.
Then, with a humble expression, Lin Xi clasped his hands in a gesture of greeting to Fan Kuai and Lu Wan, before tightly grasping Wei Ji's wrist and hurrying towards the city gate. Their figures quickly disappeared into the crowd.
After leaving the city, Wei Ji, whose face had been tense the whole time, finally let out a long sigh of relief. He turned around and solemnly clasped his hands in a salute to Lin Xi beside him, saying, "This time, we are truly grateful for your help! What are your plans now? Are you preparing to return to Xianyang?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi smiled faintly and nodded slightly, replying, "I wish to return with you." A hint of joy flashed in Wei Ji's eyes, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement, "That would be wonderful!" With that, the two walked side by side, embarking together on their journey to Xianyang.
Along the way, they sometimes chatted amiably, sometimes remained silent, but their tacit understanding remained constant. Before they knew it, they had reached the border between Qin and Chu. However, to Wei Ji's surprise, he still hadn't seen any trace of Meng Yi and his group. Reluctantly, after some discussion, Wei Ji decided to stay and continue searching for information about Meng Yi and his companions, while Lin Xi would return to Xianyang first.
Time flies, and several days passed in the blink of an eye. Finally, perseverance paid off, and Wei Ji, after much difficulty, learned that Meng Yi and the others had already safely arrived in Xianyang. Upon receiving this news, Wei Ji dared not delay for a moment. He immediately mounted his horse, spurred it on, and galloped towards Xianyang at breakneck speed.
Wei Ji finished his story, and darkness fell outside. Wei Ji stood quietly to the side, anxiously awaiting the King of Qin's final verdict.
King Ying Zheng of Qin sat upright, his face ashen. After Wei Ji finished speaking, Ying Zheng slowly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
According to Wei Ji, all the assassins sent to kill Liu Bang were unconscious. How could this be? Was Liu Bang destined to escape danger and survive? Or was there another hidden story? Furthermore, was this man named Liu Ji truly Liu Bang? If so, why was his name different?
A series of questions swirled in King Qin's mind like a tangled mess, leaving him completely bewildered. After a long while, Ying Zheng finally opened his eyes, waved his hand wearily, and said to Wei Ji, "Let's put this matter aside for now. You may leave."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ji quickly bowed and replied, "Yes!" Then he turned and hurriedly left.
On the other side, Ying Wuyou finally met Lin Xi. Ying Wuyou's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Xi, and she asked urgently, "Lin Xi, why did you suddenly come back? Didn't I tell you to monitor Liu Ji?"
Lin Xi quickly stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Your Highness, I encountered an unexpected situation while carrying out my mission. Just before I left, Liu Ji suddenly fell into a coma for some unknown reason."
Upon hearing this, Ying Wuyou looked surprised and asked in confusion, "Liu Ji has also fallen into a coma? What exactly happened?"
Lin Xi nodded slightly, then continued solemnly, "Yes, Princess. I also met Wei Ji in Pei County, and I believe that Liu Ji's coma may be related to Wei Ji."
Ying Wuyou raised an eyebrow slightly and continued to ask, "Wei Ji? And who is this person?"
Lin Xi quickly explained, "Princess, this Wei Ji is a deputy general under General Meng Yi."
Hearing this, Ying Wuyou tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of her chair, a slow and deliberate rhythm. She pondered to herself: Could Liu Ji's coma really be related to Meng Yi? But why would Meng Yi go to Pei County? Did her father sense something amiss? But that seemed unlikely; how would her father know Liu Ji? Yet now both Meng Yi and Liu Ji were unconscious, and Lin Xi had just encountered Meng Yi's subordinate in Pei County. So many coincidences coming together—it couldn't be a mere coincidence. What secret lay behind this? Countless questions flooded her mind, leaving Ying Wuyou utterly perplexed.
Ying Wuyou frowned, her gaze fixed on the distance, her mind a jumble of thoughts, unable to find a clear direction. After a moment of silence, she slowly turned to Lin Xi and asked softly, "What do you think of Liu Ji?"
Lin Xi pondered for a moment, then replied, "Liu Ji is an extremely open-minded and cheerful person. No matter what difficulties or setbacks he faces, he always deals with them with an optimistic and positive attitude. Moreover, he has excellent eloquence and is very persuasive. When communicating with others, he is often fluent and eloquent, which is convincing. Not only that, he is also good at interpersonal communication. Whether it is a high-ranking official or a street thug, he can establish a certain relationship with them. What is even more rare is that he has a chivalrous spirit and is loyal to others, which has earned him the trust and support of many people. Given time, if the opportunity comes, I believe he will surely achieve something earth-shattering!"
After listening to Lin Xi's words, Ying Wuyou couldn't help but sigh helplessly. In fact, she was well aware of Liu Ji's abilities. After all, he was a renowned emperor who could rank among the top ten in the long river of history! Whether it was his accurate eye for judging people or the unique charm he exuded, he was a rare existence in the world, and almost no one could compare to him.
However, Ying Wuyou's feelings towards Liu Ji were incredibly complex. On one hand, she harbored the idea of killing him, knowing full well that he was likely to become a major threat to herself and the Qin Dynasty in the future; on the other hand, she vaguely felt that it would be a great pity to take Liu Ji's life so easily. This contradictory feeling plunged Ying Wuyou into a deep dilemma, leaving her unsure of what to do.
Ying Wuyou thought for a moment, then turned her gaze to Lin Xi and asked softly, "Lin Xi, you've been in Pei County for some time now. I wonder if you're getting used to it there? Do you miss life in Xianyang?"
Lin Xi smiled and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, I naturally miss Xianyang very much and long to return to serve you as soon as possible. However, I have already made contact with Liu Ji, and after observing and understanding him for some time, I believe I am still suitable to remain by his side. If I were to rashly change personnel at this time, it might arouse Liu Ji's suspicion and vigilance. Furthermore, gaining Liu Ji's complete trust is not easy, so I still hope to return to Pei County to continue my mission of monitoring Liu Ji."
