Chapter 145: News spreads, pondering in the dark! (Please subscribe and support!)

As Lu Li's voice fell, the darkness before him slowly dissipated like ice and snow.

Until all the darkness disappeared, the normal scenery returned before Lu Li's eyes.

Raising his head, he saw Ying Mo standing to the side.

"Young Master."

"Thank you, Young Master, for your help."

Lu Li hurriedly said gratefully to Ying Mo.

If it weren't for Ying Mo's help, he feared he would still be trapped in the boundless darkness, unable to extricate himself.

"I do not keep useless people under my command."

"Only by breaking through oneself can one become stronger."

"After returning, eliminate the fear in your heart."

Ying Mo looked at Lu Li with a calm gaze.

He had also seen Lu Li's performance just now.

He did not know what Lu Li had encountered, that such a look of fear and pain had appeared on his face.

But no matter what he encountered, the people under his command must absolutely not show such a performance.

"Yes."

Lu Li lowered his head.

………

The commotion here not only attracted the attention of Xianyang City,

but also attracted the attention of others.

"I heard that the Daoist school seems to have angered Ying Zheng, causing Ying Zheng to exterminate the Daoist school."

"I heard that in these past few days, countless Daoists have died."

In a village,

several burly men sat there chatting.

And the object of their discussion was the Daoist members trapped in the valley.

"What do you think happened to make the Daoist school anger Ying Zheng?"

"With Beimingzi's personality, he would absolutely not do something that subverts the Daoist tradition."

An old man with a white beard asked.

Based on their understanding of Beimingzi,

everything Beimingzi did was for the better development of the Daoist school.

They really could not understand why Ying Zheng would take action against the Daoist school.

"I heard,"

"Beimingzi seems to have intervened in the events of five years ago."

One of the burly men said this in a low voice, then fell into silence.

Even though they were on their own turf,

when talking about these things, they still lowered their voices unconsciously.

The others obviously also knew what the burly man was talking about.

After hearing the burly man's words, they all fell into silence.

"You should have heard about the ghost in Xianyang City, right?"

One of them raised his head and asked.

The others nodded one after another.

The things the ghost had done were making a huge stir.

Although they were mostly low-key and ignored outside affairs, they had heard of it.

"I heard the ghost killed many imperial officials of Great Qin."

"It's a pity, if he were anti-Qin like us, we could have recruited him."

One person sighed regretfully.

"You still want to recruit him?"

"We were also involved in the events of that year."

"If he investigates and finds out about our existence, do you think our fate will be any better than the Daoist school's?"

One person snorted coldly.

They clearly knew that the ghost appearing in Xianyang City was ultimately to investigate the true culprit of five years ago.

Every person he investigated was resolved by the ghost without hesitation.

"Do you mean that the Daoist school was also involved in the events of five years ago?"

One of them asked in surprise.

"This matter is almost certain, otherwise Ying Zheng would not have suddenly attacked the Daoist school."

"And among those besieging the Daoist school, there seems to be another hidden force."

With the matter said to this point, everyone basically understood why so many major events had occurred during this period.

"We need to erase all traces of five years ago."

The leader said.

The others nodded immediately after hearing this.

Although their strength was decent, they were too scattered.

They were just a few small forces gathered together.

If they really confronted those forces,

they would likely not escape the fate of being wiped out.

………

Meng Tian led ten thousand city guards and arrived outside Xianyang City.

This naturally could not escape Wang Jian's eyes.

"Father, why do you think His Majesty let Meng Tian lead the army?"

A trace of annoyance appeared in Wang Ben's eyes.

He considered himself no weaker than Meng Tian in military matters.

Why did His Majesty hand this matter over to Meng Tian to be responsible for?

"Do you really want to go?"

Wang Jian looked at his son.

"Do you really think those Daoist people are that easy to deal with?"

Wang Jian said bluntly.

Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, which force does not have one or two trump cards?

If it really came to that point, those who went would surely suffer heavy losses.

"Father, if we can solve this matter beautifully, we will definitely regain His Majesty's trust."

"Isn't that important?"

Wang Ben did not quite understand.

Because gaining Ying Zheng's trust could further consolidate their Wang family's status.

As long as their status was consolidated, the power in their hands would be greater.

And this was what he had always been plotting.

"You still don't see it clearly."

Wang Jian sighed deeply, then looked at his son.

He was able to reach his current height not because of that person.

But because he climbed up step by step, and obtained it step by step.

And that person's trust was merely icing on the cake.

If one pins their power on that person's trust,

it will only make their power like the moon reflected in water.

"Since His Majesty did not hand this matter to you, then you don't need to think too much about it."

"Stay at home honestly during this time, and do not make any moves."

After speaking, Wang Jian glared at Wang Ben.

He had not yet dealt with the matter of Li Si from last time.

If it weren't for His Majesty suddenly summoning them into the palace last time,

their Wang family and Li Si would probably still be bickering.

Don't look at the fact that Li Si has lost His Majesty's trust.

If you really calculate it, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.

If Li Si really wanted to do something to their Wang family, even if they could handle it, they would probably have to suffer some damage to their foundation.
