Chapter 275 Secret
"Young master, this matter of the fabric may be related to the past of my city of Handan."
"Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was once a hostage in my city of Handan."
"At that time, there were many families in my city of Handan who were extremely disgusted with the Qin state."
"The reason is probably clear to you, young master."
Tang Yu nodded affirmatively.
The reason is all too clear.
Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, wreaked havoc at the Battle of Changping, laying the most solid foundation for the unification of the Qin state.
After all, the Zhao state, which was originally able to rival the Qin state, was severely weakened by the battle fought by Lord Wu'an.
Although the Qin army itself was also affected, compared to the direct and devastating blow suffered by the Zhao state, the Qin state was far superior!
But as a hostage, wasn't Ying Zheng suffering a lot?
"This textile technique was passed down and used by one of the noble families."
"At that time, that noble family was the best cloth merchant in my city of Handan."
After saying this, the woman didn't speak again, but stared intently at Tang Yu.
She knew she had revealed all the information she could, and what Tang Yu would do or what decision he made was none of her business.
As expected, Tang Yu was completely silenced after hearing those words.
Wow, so that's what the story was all about.
He never imagined that things would develop in such a way.
After all, he thought it was the nobles in Handan who were planning to cause trouble, or that a third party was preparing to intervene.
Unexpectedly, it was related to Zheng Ge's former enemy.
After recalling what Zheng Ge had done in Handan, Tang Yu immediately understood why the officials and nobles who knew the matter remained silent.
After all, if they were to get into trouble, or if they were to have their less-than-pleasant memories of Ying Zheng resurface, they themselves might be the ones to suffer.
"Is there anything else?"
Tang Yu looked at the woman in front of him.
The woman shook her head.
"That's all. That's all I know."
"And the reason I know all this is because I'm in the business of this fabric merchant."
"These messages are kept very secret, and no one dares to speak out about them."
Then Tang Yu raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him.
He could sense a distinct fear and apprehension in the other person's eyes.
Clearly, the other party is worried about whether this matter will affect them.
The other party hesitated, after all, the consequences would be too great.
However, he was still curious as to why the woman had revealed the truth to him despite her hesitation.
"May I ask why you are willing to tell me all this?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mengyao looked up, her tone somewhat wistful.
"Of course, it's because it's fair."
"Although I don't know what's behind this, or what his purpose is."
"But I can see the lives of ordinary people in my city of Handan that have been disrupted."
"Because of this person, the people are living in fear and anxiety, and cannot live a normal life."
"And the dead people couldn't even find out who the murderer was; they died unjustly and without any explanation."
"Although nothing like this happened in my home, it still pains me to see it."
Looking at the woman's serious expression as she spoke, Tang Yu fell silent.
It seems that there are things more important than life itself in this era.
He immediately nodded to the woman.
"In that case, since you have spoken up for me so righteously, I will take responsibility for your safety."
"Young lady, please rest assured, I guarantee with my life that you will absolutely not have any problems."
"If any other unexpected situation arises, I will definitely come to your aid. You will absolutely not die in front of me."
Seeing Tang Yu's serious expression, Zhao Mengyao couldn't help but chuckle and immediately waved her hand.
"Young master, you flatter me. But I don't think they would kill a weak woman like me who can't even kill a chicken for such a trivial matter. Otherwise, it would be too tasteless."
"I feel the same way, after all..."
"Da da da da da."
Before Tang Yu could finish speaking, he heard footsteps coming from a distance.
Because his physical abilities have been enhanced to the limits of human capabilities, Tang Yu can perceive even the faintest sounds.
His expression immediately changed, and he pulled the woman to the window.
The woman noticed that Tang Yu suddenly stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, realizing what had happened.
Li Mengyao's face turned pale instantly.
She never imagined that her casual joke would become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Could it be that someone really came to kill me?
Tang Yu looked at Li Mengyao, signaling her not to panic.
Li Mengyao was actually confused as well.
At that time, she was worried that someone would come to kill her, but she felt that she was just being overly anxious.
But looking at it now, how can this be called worrying about something that's already happened?
That's clearly prophetic!
If she weren't worried about this today, she might be dead here by now.
The people outside were getting closer and closer.
Tang Yu also hid behind a wall.
Just as that person jumped in with a sword in hand, he was sent flying by Tang Yu's punch.
"what!"
After Tang Yu finished him off with a simple and brutal punch, he immediately brought the man in front of him.
Li Mengyao, standing to the side, was completely terrified.
The first thing was that he never expected someone would actually kill him.
The second thing is that I didn't expect the assassin to be so weak.
Yes, because Tang Yu's performance was simply too outrageous.
Faced with Tang Yu's absolute reaction speed and strength, the assassin jumped in like a fool, was knocked unconscious with a single punch, and appeared extremely unprofessional.
But this assassin is absolutely a top-notch assassin.
It's simply because Tang Yu is too strong.
Tang Yu frowned as he looked at the assassin in front of him.
As soon as the assassin arrived, Tang Yu compared the footprints.
Regardless of their exertion habits or the pattern on their shoes, the other person was not the one who had appeared at every murder scene.
Tang Yu shook his head in disappointment, but then gave the assassin a somewhat sinister smile.
"Tell me, who sent you here? Who ordered you to kill someone? Who's behind this?"
The assassin was still somewhat dazed.
How did I get taken down?
However, just as he was about to speak up to defend himself, he let out a fierce scream.
"Ahhh!"
