With the help of the necklace, Li Shui finally figured out what was going on.

It turns out that Huaiguzi's parents died when he was young, and he made a living by begging in the Chu region. His life was tight and miserable.

The most humble person in the world is a beggar. In those years, Huaiguzi didn't even have a name. When people saw him, they would just call him a beggar.

Until one day, Huaiguzi was discovered by Xiang Liang and took him back.

After Huai Guzi entered Xiang Liang's mansion, he kept doing the work of serving tea and water. In fact, he became a slave.

A few years later, when Huaiguzi grew older, he found that he seemed to be very interested in the art of Qihuang, so he begged Xiang Liang and said that he wanted to study medicine.

After kneeling for three days, Xiang Liang was finally moved by Huaiguzi's sincerity and nodded in agreement.

It was at this time that he gave himself the name Huaiguzi. After all, he had learned medical skills, which was considered a skill, and he could no longer be called a beggar.

After Huaiguzi finished his studies, he caught up with Xiang Yan and defeated Li Xin. Li Xin was seriously injured and fled all the way.

At that time, Xiang Liang had already felt that Qin's tiger and wolf forces were unstoppable. Even if Chu could be saved for the time being, Chu would be destroyed in the future.

Therefore, he planned to follow the example of Prince Dan of Yan and send someone to assassinate Qin. And the assassin chose Huaiguzi.

Under Xiang Liang's arrangement, Huaiguzi appeared at the right place at the right time, and happened to save Qin general Li Xin.

From then on, Li Xin was grateful to Huaiguzi and believed deeply in it. Huaiguzi also got the opportunity to enter Xianyang.

Logically speaking, Huaiguzi, as an assassin, should set off immediately.

But Huaiguzi was afraid and retreated.

Assassins in the pre-Qin period were often dead soldiers, because at that time there was no emphasis on escaping unharmed. The assassin's belief was to exchange the life of an ordinary man for the life of the emperor.

It's cheap but expensive, and the assassins feel like they're getting a big bargain.

Therefore, whether it was Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu, Jing Ke, or Yu Rang. Regardless of success or failure, these assassins had only one fate: death.

But Huaiguzi is a different kind. He has been timid and fearful since he was a child, and has little interest in being an assassin. After hearing that he was going to be sent to Qin, he even wanted to run away.

Finally, Xiang Liang found some people and brainwashed Huaiguzi.

It was nothing more than valuing righteousness over life, being loyal to the king and serving the country, and dying for a confidant. The result of the brainwashing was not bad, and Huaiguzi finally agreed to assassinate Qin.

Unfortunately, Xiang Liang's plan was not implemented yet, and Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to destroy Chu.

Chu State was destroyed, and Xiang Yan also died in battle.

Xiang Liang hated the hatred of the country and his family. So he sent Huaiguzi out persistently.

He understood that assassinating Ying Zheng at this time had little meaning. Even if Ying Zheng died, Chu State would have no hope of recovering. But as long as Ying Zheng could be killed, it would be regarded as revenge for Chu State.

According to his plan, Huaiguzi will enter Ying Zheng's palace as an alchemist and then refine elixirs for Ying Zheng.

Among the elixirs, Huaiguzi could kill Ying Zheng with just a few tricks.

The probability of success for this kind of assassination is much higher than that of Tu Qiong Dagger.

After dispatching Huaiguzi, Xiang Liang looked eagerly in Chudi, waiting for news from Xianyang. However, there was no movement from Xianyang.

Xiang Liang couldn't wait any longer, so he sent an envoy to Xianyang secretly to have a chat with Huaiguzi.

Xiang Lian didn't know what they talked about specifically, but Li Shui could roughly guess it. It is estimated that the messenger first persuaded him kindly, and then used principles such as valuing justice over life and other principles to wash Huaiguzi's brain.

Then he began to threaten Huaiguzi, saying that if he refused to do this, he would be killed, and he would be killed very cruelly.

According to Li Shui's estimation, Huaiguzi died not long after the messenger left. He was probably frightened by the messenger's words and could not bear the pressure, so he died suddenly.

After the messenger returned to Chu, Xiang Liang still didn't receive any news, so he sent another more reliable Xiang Lian to see what was going on. If Huai Guzi really backed down, he would be killed.

In order to avoid future troubles.

When Li Shui heard this, he completely understood.

He squatted on the ground and scratched his head in pain: "This Huaiguzi is really a scam. I am a pick-up man, and I have picked up one after another. It was so easy to get past the alchemy thing, and now I have to stab him again."

Qin."

The necklace was tied like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

He lay curled up on the ground and weakly threatened Li Shui: "Huai Guzi, let me go. If you let me go, I will not care about the past grudges. Otherwise, I will definitely cut you into pieces. Don't think I'm lying.

If you threaten, a traitor like you will be killed."

Li Shui was furious when he saw Xiang Lian and kicked him: "You are tied up like this and you still want to kill me?"

Since Li Shui tied up the necklace, he was completely upset and had no intention of letting him go.

Li Shui was a little hesitant, whether he should kill this guy: "Leaving this person in Xianyang is a time bomb, and it might explode at some point. What if he gets a brain attack and leaks my identity?

But it’s over. Ying Zheng knows that I’m not only a liar, but also an assassin, and it’s no use having ten death-free gold medals.”

But after all, Li Shui had never actually killed anyone, so it was not easy to pass this test.

What's more, this man was arrogant and domineering in the wine shop, and many people saw it. If he suddenly disappeared again, and others asked, what should we do? The government of Daqin is not a vegetarian, and they want to hide this kind of case.

It's hard to live.

Li Shui touched the death-free medal in his arms: "Why don't I just say that we had a quarrel and accidentally killed him? Well, this reason is okay. Ying Zheng probably won't let me pay for this person.

."

Li Shui took a deep breath, turned around and took out a knife.

Xiang Lian's eyes suddenly shrank, and he asked nervously: "What are you going to do?"

Li Shui tried his best to calm down his voice: "Kill someone."

Xiang Lian immediately shuddered: "You..."

He wanted to make a threat, but suddenly realized that Li Shui was not threatened at all. He wanted to say something about killing him if he wanted to, and cutting into pieces if he wanted to, but his heart was pounding and he couldn't speak at all. The necklace was a little bit...

I regret it. If I had known earlier, I would have let those people brainwash me. At least I could have been a hero when I died.

Li Shui put the knife on his neck and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Xiang Lian didn't speak, but his pale face had given him away.

Li Shui sneered: "The world is big, who is not afraid of death? Do assassins have to sacrifice their lives for their lives? What about valuing justice over life, and what about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country? Why doesn't a big man like General Xiang become an assassin? His life

It’s life, isn’t my life not life?”

Xiang Lian trembled and said: "General Xiang once took you in. Such a great kindness should be repaid with death..."

Li Shui chuckled: "He took me in because he planned to make me a slave. To put it more seriously, it was child trafficking. Tell me honestly, did he ever beat me? Did he scold me? He finished his work every day.

Will you give me any wages after that?"

Xiang Lian felt angry in his heart. He didn't know where the courage came from. He immediately stiffened his neck and said, "Just kill me. Do you still want wages for a slave? I have nothing to say to a person like you who has no king or father."

It can be said."

Li Shui nodded: "Okay, I will help you."

Lifting the big knife, he lifted the knife and dropped it.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Oops, someone is coming.

Li Shui was so nervous that he tilted his knife a little and cut off a piece of Necklace's scalp.

At the critical moment of life and death, Xiang Lian was completely frightened. He had been on the battlefield, but he relied on his ruthlessness to kill others and survive on the battlefield.

But this was different today. He was tied up like a pig and gestured with signs of beheading. There was death but no life.

Necklace was lying on the ground, screaming desperately: "Help, I'm killing someone."

It turns out that killing is not easy, especially for novices. It may take a long time to kill someone. This is very different from what is shown in the movie.

Li Shui thought quickly and felt that he should use a delaying strategy to buy himself some time.

So he smiled slightly and said to Xiang Lian: "Forget it, I really can't do it. I'll raise you for the rest of my life. You don't have to leave Shang Jun's Villa in this life. As long as you don't talk nonsense, I will keep you."

life."

At the same time, the door was pushed open. Li Xin poked his head in and said, "Brother Huai, I heard that you have relatives from far away coming? I came here specially to drink... Huh? Is this?"

Xiang Lian shuddered, stared at Li Shui for a while, stared at the knife for a while, and stared at Li Xin for a while, then forced out an ugly smile: "We are... joking.

"

"A joke?" Li Xin was a little confused.

"Yeah. It's a joke." Li Shui explained with a bit of shame: "It's... a game played by us in Chu."
