Chapter 176: Huhai didn't make a move? That

The news that the Great Chu remnants had captured Taiyuan Commandery spread throughout Great Qin like snowflakes.

"Have you heard the news?"

"Are you talking about the news from the Great Chu remnants? I've certainly heard it."

"How are we supposed to live like this? My third uncle is in Taiyuan Commandery."

"Taiyuan Commandery has now been controlled by the Great Chu remnants; your third uncle is likely..."

After the person discussing this finished the sentence, he saw the expression on the other person's face change immediately.

People discussing this matter were everywhere on the streets.

The climate had already entered the depths of winter.

Snowflakes drifted down, and the outdoors was soon covered in a layer of white.

Inside the wooden house, the kettle emitted steaming heat, carrying a faint fragrance of tea.

Ying Mo's legs were covered with a thick layer of fox fur.

Although his legs were no longer a major problem, they would still ache faintly in extreme cold.

"Young Master."

"The Great Chu remnants have captured Taiyuan Commandery."

Lu Li said.

But when Ying Mo heard this news, no look of surprise appeared on his face.

Clearly, he had already anticipated this news.

As early as when he learned the Great Chu remnants had entered the territory of Taiyuan Commandery, he had already guessed this result.

"Wang Jian did not impulsively lead his troops to launch an attack on the Great Chu remnants, but chose to set up camp outside the city."

"According to the news sent back by Faceless, there seems to be some situation with the provisions on Wang Jian's side."

When Lu Li said this, Ying Mo's gaze paused for a moment.

There was a problem with the provisions on Wang Jian's side too?

"Tell me in detail."

"This batch of provisions was supposed to be escorted by a man named Wang Qiming."

"But in the process of escorting the provisions, this person was killed by a group of mountain bandits."

"Subsequently, the provisions were held in Jiuzhou Commandery; the Magistrate of Jiuzhou Commandery seems to have some issues."

Lu Li recounted all the information he had learned.

"When did Wang Qiming die?"

"Yesterday."

"Then this batch of provisions should have been stopped in Jiuzhou Commandery for two days."

Lu Li nodded lightly at Ying Mo's words.

The Magistrate of Jiuzhou Commandery claimed that no one was qualified to touch this batch of provisions and forbade anyone from approaching them.

Yet he indeed hadn't done anything to the provisions.

So no one could find a single fault with him.

After all, provisions were the most important thing in the army; those without qualifications simply couldn't approach them.

But the person the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate sent to report to Ying Zheng was not an 800-li urgent messenger.

If they wanted to wait for this person to pass the news to Xianyang City, it would likely take at least three to five days.

These three to five days would likely be very difficult for Wang Jian at the front.

After all, Wang Jian hadn't brought that many provisions in order to travel light.

"As an old general, how could Wang Jian not have considered this issue?"

Ying Mo frowned, feeling slightly puzzled.

For a general, provisions were exceptionally important.

Logically, such a situation should absolutely not happen to Wang Jian.

"This Wang Qiming should be a collateral branch of the Wang family, deeply trusted by Wang Jian."

"Wang Jian should have been very reassured handing the provisions to him."

"But no one expected that he would be killed by sudden bandits."

Likely, even Wang Jian himself hadn't received the news yet.

"Is there no movement on Wang Jian's side?"

Ying Mo felt it was somewhat impossible; with the provisions delayed, Wang Jian should have become suspicious.

"There is indeed suspicion on Wang Jian's side."

"Fusu left Taiyuan Commandery this morning and headed for Qi River in Jiuzhou Commandery."

Lu Li continued.

When Ying Mo heard this news, his brow furrowed again.

Did this Fusu not know how dangerous his surroundings were?

"Has anyone made a move in Xianyang City?"

"Currently, no accurate news has been received, but..."

"Speak if you have something to say."

Ying Mo glanced at Lu Li.

"Yes."

"I originally thought that once Fusu left Xianyang City, Huhai would definitely make a move."

"But the spies from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in Xianyang City sent back news that Huhai shows no signs of making a move at all."

"And he hasn't asked about any situation regarding the front lines."

Lu Li felt it was very suspicious when he heard this news.

With Huhai's personality, he would absolutely not let go of such a good opportunity.

After all, as long as Fusu disappeared, he would be the only heir to all of Great Qin.

When Ying Mo learned this news, his brow twitched slightly.

"Are you sure Huhai hasn't been in contact with anyone?"

"Young Master, I am very certain he hasn't."

"And the spies we arranged in Xianyang City haven't discovered anyone under Huhai's command in contact with anyone else."

It was precisely because they had checked repeatedly that Lu Li felt it was suspicious.

A flash of contemplation crossed Ying Mo's eyes.

"This is absolutely impossible; Huhai would not let go of such a good opportunity."

"It can only be said that the hiding methods of the person behind the scenes are too brilliant, deceiving our spies."

Ying Mo was very certain.

"Young Master, what do you mean?"

Lu Li looked up hesitantly.

"Have Lu Bing follow Fusu personally."

"I want to see exactly whose hand is stretched so far."

A thin layer of murderous intent flashed in Ying Mo's eyes.

To have arranged a plan thousands of miles away while still in Xianyang City, it seems the energy of the person behind the scenes is not small.

"Yes."

Lu Li quickly notified Lu Bing of the news.

When Lu Bing received the news, he didn't even think about it and went directly to find Fusu's trail.

With the help of Faceless, he soon found Fusu.

Just as Lu Bing wanted to get closer to Fusu, he sensed an aura.

Upon sensing this aura, he immediately hid in the deeper shadows.

He hadn't expected that Fusu had not only the guards on the surface.

Hidden around him were more than one or two secret guards. **CHAPTER 394**
