Chapter 172

The Confucian school gambled its future on Fusu.

And they gambled their future on Huhai.

The Confucian school's plan is to support Fusu to sit in that position.

And they intend to use Huhai as a chess piece, thereby controlling the entire Great Qin.

"... t seems the Confucian school must be eliminated."

When saying this sentence, Donghuang Taiyi's tone carried a cold killing intent.

Everything that blocks his existence must die at his hands.

"Why didn't Luna come?"

Glancing at the person below him, Donghuang Taiyi spoke immediately.

"She has been in seclusion during this period."

Xing Hun explained.

Because of Ying Zheng's questioning, Luna could only choose to go into seclusion.

Otherwise, she would have to give an accurate answer to Ying Zheng's questioning.

"What exactly happened?"

Donghuang Taiyi's voice turned gloomy.

Luna would not go into seclusion for no reason, especially at this critical juncture.

"Ying Zheng asked her to calculate who participated in that incident five years ago."

Xing Hun helplessly said this matter.

Ying Zheng also grasped some existences that participated in the matter five years ago.

If the answer Luna gives does not match what Ying Zheng has in his hands,

Her title of National Preceptor might be completely stripped away.

Luna, using her ability, had already foreseen that her title of National Preceptor would be completely stripped away by Ying Zheng, thereby implicating the entire Yin-Yang School.

At this juncture, she naturally could not tell Ying Zheng the answer.

The best method was to fall into seclusion.

Donghuang Taiyi did not expect that Luna had experienced such a thing.

"It seems we can only accelerate the pace; otherwise, Luna should not be able to hide it anymore."

Da Si Ming spoke.

Luna's ability to foresee the future is very strong.

If what Xing Hun said is true,

That would mean Ying Zheng might have already developed suspicion toward them.

At this time, one can only strike first to gain the advantage.

...

"Young Master, the matter over there has been investigated clearly."

"Fusu wanting to participate in this matter is mainly to temper himself."

"And during this period, he has always followed by Wang Jian's side, and it seems he has not questioned any words Wang Jian said."

Lu Li said.

If Fusu truly wanted to usurp the throne, he would definitely take this opportunity to seize a portion of the military power in Wang Jian's hands.

After all, the person with the highest status outside is Fusu.

Although Wang Jian is the commander-in-chief this time, even the commander-in-chief must take orders from Fusu.

"Temper himself?"

Ying Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

It is unknown whether he believed it or not.

"Have someone pass the news to the Great Chu remnants."

Ying Mo said.

In his eyes, a trace of complex light was dancing.

Human hearts are a very complex thing.

Even for him now.

He still does not dare to gamble on human hearts.

He hopes that Fusu's performance later can make him let go of his suspicion.

"Yes."

Lu Li responded without hesitation.

He did not guess Ying Mo's meaning.

He did not know why Ying 783 Mo wanted to tell the Great Chu remnants this news.

Shouldn't they take advantage of the Great Chu remnants being unaware and annihilate them in one fell swoop?

Although he was puzzled, Lu Li's execution speed of the order was not slow.

Soon, a refugee entered the mountain forest and was accidentally captured alive by the Great Chu remnants.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

"Good heroes, don't kill me; I am just a refugee, and I don't have any money on me."

A man in ragged clothes, dirty all over, kept kowtowing on the ground.

In his eyes, a look of fear was dancing.

Xiang Yu's eyes stared tightly at this middle-aged man.

It seemed he was thinking, why would he appear here?

"Speak, why did you appear here?"

"The little one came from the other side of the mountain and was preparing to find some food on the mountain."

After speaking, the middle-aged man pointed in a direction.

The entrance in that direction was diametrically opposite to the direction they entered the mountain.

And the position they were currently in was also in the depths of a large mountain.

No matter which position of the large mountain they entered from, as long as they entered the depths, they would always meet them.

After thinking this through, the suspicion in Xiang Yu's eyes decreased by a few points.

But at this moment, he did not dare to relax his vigilance.

"Kill him."

"Otherwise, it will only leak our location."

Xiang Liang spoke from the side, his voice cold, his eyes ruthless.

Just as the subordinate beside him raised his hand and dropped his blade, preparing to cut off this person's head.

That middle-aged man spoke again.

"I beg you, don't kill me."

"I can tell you a heaven-shaking piece of news."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Xiang Yu, his thin, withered face carrying a trace of sincerity.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes.

He was not sure whether to believe this middle-aged man who looked like a beggar.

"Believe me, this news is very important to you and can definitely exchange for my life."

The middle-aged man seemed to see Xiang Yu's hesitation and continued to speak.

Xiang Yu's gaze looked at his uncle.

And Xiang Liang's meaning was very clear: you solve this matter yourself.

"If the news you bring is indeed very important, then I can spare your dog's life."

"Speak."

After hesitating for a while, Xiang Yu decided to give this person a chance.

"I heard that His Majesty seems very dissatisfied with Young General Wang's battle record."

"Then Old General Wang decided to come personally to eradicate the Great Chu remnants."

The middle-aged man said stutteringly.

When he said "Great Chu remnants," he suddenly realized something and stopped this sentence immediately.

His eyes widened, and he looked at this group of people in front of him with a terrified expression.

Whether it was Xiang Yu or Xiang Liang, their brows were all furrowed.

They had originally (bfbc) thought that after Wang Ben was defeated, it would at least give them a short buffer time.

They did not expect that the Great Qin side's actions would be so rapid.

They could use strategy to deal with Wang Ben, but dealing with Wang Jian was extremely difficult.

Wang Jian was, after all, an old general on the battlefield.

He had experienced more things on the battlefield than they had.

They simply could not deal with Wang Jian as smoothly as they dealt with Wang Ben.

"Uncle, what should we do? I didn't expect Wang Jian would actually choose to come personally this time."

A trace of worry flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes.

The mountain forest that could originally provide them with safe shelter was also somewhat unsafe at this moment.

If Wang Jian chose to surround the mountain, they would only be caught like turtles in a jar.

And Wang Jian's personality was extremely steady; he simply would not be as impatient as Wang Ben.

Even if Wang Jian did not choose to surround the mountain, just by sealing all the entrances and exits, they would not be able to last long on the mountain.

40, 00 people, after all, the population size was too large, and they simply could not last long in the mountain forest.

Xiang Liang also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time.

He had originally wanted to stay in the mountains for a long time just to guard against the surprise attacks of the Ghosts.

If they continued to stay in the mountains at this time, they would only be caught like turtles in a jar by Wang Jian.

"Call everyone to assemble and reorganize the troops."

"Leave the mountain at the fastest speed."

After speaking, Xiang Liang turned and left without hesitation.

At this time, knowing such important news, where would anyone still care about this middle-aged man?

Everyone ran quickly back to the military camp, and only the middle-aged man remained kneeling on the ground.

When no one was paying attention, a strange smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

Then his figure soon disappeared into the forest, as if what had happened before was like a dream.

Xiang Yu had also long since thrown the middle-aged man to the back of his mind; he just wanted to lead the army to leave here as fast as possible.

He did not know how long this news had been circulating; if Wang Jian had set off a step earlier, he might have already arrived at Shangjun by now.

They must race against time and stay away from Shangjun at the fastest speed.

Finding the right direction, everyone moved toward a position away from Shangjun.

The mountain range was rugged, and the mountain roads were difficult, but fortunately, during this period, they had already become familiar with the environment here.

Under Xiang Yu's pathfinding, everyone went down the mountain at the fastest speed.

This mountain connected Shangjun and Taiyuan Commandery.

After going down the mountain, Xiang Yu and the others entered the position of Taiyuan Commandery directly.

In order not to alert the enemy, they directly occupied a small village.

But what they did not know was that the news here had already reached Ying Mo's ears.

"The Great Chu remnants have already entered Taiyuan Commandery."

"And Wang Jian has also entered Shangjun."

Lu Li spoke.

Between these two groups of people, there was once again a mountain range separating them.
