However, it was unclear whether he was surrendering on the surface or truly surrendering.
As time passed, they could no longer cause any trouble under such circumstances. However, they were helpless because Great Chu still had external enemies.
In the end, many Jianghu people who had a grudge against Great Chu State had
unknowingly gotten involved with Great Yue State.
This time, they did not know what the other people in the martial world were thinking. In any case, the purpose of the Coiling Sword Mountain and the Chessboard Mountain was to get rid of the Emperor’s right-hand man.
As for the real mastermind behind the scenes, it was of course the Great Yue
State.
In this operation, the Coiling Sword Mountain acted as the hatchet man, while the Chess Board Mountain was the mastermind. From a certain point of view, the Coiling Sword Mountain was temporarily under the command of the Chess Board Mountain, and the Twelve Sword Formation was also temporarily under the command of Wang Shu.
“No matter what, this is our last we give up, we really won’t stand a chance.” Wang Shu said.”
The leader of the Twelve Swords Formation fell silent.
After a while, the leader said,””Do you think we’re fools? Although we obey your orders, it doesn’t mean that we don’t have our own opinions. Along the way to the capital, countless people want to kill Xu Bai. Why risk your life?”
When he said this, the other eleven people nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing with this statement.
Wang Shu already knew that the other party would say this. He was not anxious and instead slowly explained.
“Everyone, you may not have understood. If the others are killed, that’s their business. When the time comes, the ones who will truly gain the favor of Great Yue State will be the others, not us.”
“How much did we lose here? In the end, not only did we not get anything, but we also lost so much.”
After saying that, Wang Shu stopped talking and looked at the twelve people calmly.
The Twelve Swords Formation fell into a short silence, apparently considering the pros and cons of this sentence.
Seeing this, Wang Shu added fuel to the fire.”We haven’t completed it. You know very well how the higher- ups will deal with us after we return.” With the last bit of fire, the Twelve Swords Formation finally reacted.
“Cheers,” the leader said.
Just as Wang Shu said, if they couldn’t complete it and let others complete it, they would still be the ones to be punished.
“Then it’s decided.” Wang Shu slowly said,” When the time comes, I will ask the people hidden in the various families to take action. This will cause chaos and make Song De unable to withdraw. At that time, the Zhou Manor will also be patrolling. At that time, there will only be Xu Bai alone.”
The Twelve Swords Formation nodded in unison.
The two sides discussed the details of the operation, and then the Twelve Sword Formation left.
After the Twelve Swords Formation left, Wang Shu sneered.
Someone with opinions?
These twelve idiots really knew how to flatter themselves.
As long as he could fool her a little, everything would be smooth sailing.
That’s right, if they couldn’t complete the mission, they would be punished.
However, the punishment varied.
Any heavier and he would lose his life?
If he couldn’t kill Xu Bai in front of them, he would be killed by Xu Bai and would definitely lose his life.
However, if he couldn’t complete the mission, he could cooperate with the local forces the next time Bai stopped by. At least, it could be considered as assisting in the completion of the mission. The punishment would definitely be very light.
Compared to losing his life, the punishment was not unbearable.
Of course, it would be best if the Twelve Swords Formation succeeded.
“I hope it succeeds.” Wang Shu thought to himself.
At this moment, he no longer had the confidence he had back then. He only hoped that the other party would be able to perform abnormally for a moment and let him succeed.
The lakeside was quiet, but Wang Shu had no interest in fishing.
Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the agreed time.
During this period of time, it was extremely quiet.
The other party seemed to have disappeared without a trace, but Xu Bai knew very well that today might be the last chance.
After all, according to the other party’s plan, today was the day of the Zhou Manor’s routine inspection. At this time, Xu Bai was the only one left in the cell, which greatly increased the other party’s confidence.
Since the other party wanted to carry out a final assassination, they would definitely not miss the time.
Xu Bai lay on the chair and quietly read the Nameless Saber Scripture.
During this period of time, he had not been idle. The new Nameless Saber Scripture was already at the end.
He estimated that it would be too late before the other party made a move because it was getting closer and closer to noon.
“What a pity. I thought I could have another skill. “Xu Bai thought to himself.
This kind of almost complete liver disease was the most likely to cause obsessive-compulsive disorder.
However, he did not give up until the last moment and continued to increase the progress bar.
As time passed, it was noon.
He could hear the sound of footsteps coming from outside the cell. It was obvious that the Zhou Manor was preparing to leave.
Xu Bai sat up and narrowed his eyes.
The sound of footsteps grew further and further away before finally disappearing.
At this moment, he felt a wave of coldness around him, as if he was being stared at by a wild beast.
Putting the Nameless Saber Scripture back to its original place, Xu Bai placed his hand on the black saber Hundred Break.
“Stomp…’
Footsteps sounded, and the cell wall exploded.
Outside the prison cell, twelve people carrying long swords appeared..
