Chapter 180: Turmoil has not yet begun, waiting for the moment of revenge

Because they were traveling light, their provisions had been completely exhausted by noon.

Wang Jian's brow furrowed, and the expressions of all the generals were gloomy.

If the provisions couldn't arrive today, likely all the soldiers would go hungry.

"Do you think Young Master Fusu can really bring that batch of provisions back?"

One of the generals asked.

When they had enough food at noon, they launched an attack on the Great Chu remnants in Taiyuan Commandery.

But they hadn't expected that this group of Great Chu remnants seemed to have already controlled the entire Taiyuan Commandery.

They had set up defenses at every position in Taiyuan Commandery.

Even though they had too many men, it was difficult to break through these defenses in a short time.

After a brief attack yielded no results, Wang Jian ordered the troops to withdraw.

Continuing to delay might force this group of Great Chu remnants into a desperate situation.

If forced into a desperate situation, this group of Great Chu remnants would definitely use the innocent people as a threat.

He had to ensure the safety of the people in the city.

If he were alone in a special situation, he would abandon the lives of the people in the city.

But since Young Master Fusu chose to follow him on the campaign, he had to consider this point.

Even if he intended to disregard the people in the city and launch a slaughter against this group of Great Chu remnants,

the first one to stop him would likely be Young Master Fusu.

Rumble...

A sound of hunger rang out; this sound seemed to be contagious, and soon a chorus of sounds rang out.

Several generals touched their stomachs.

"Damn it, if I find out who dared to move against those provisions, I will definitely not let them off after this matter is over."

One of the generals said viciously.

"How much longer until dark?" **CHAPTER 402**

Wang Jian asked.

"Three more hours."

One person looked at the sky outside and answered.

Everyone in their hearts was hoping that Young Master Fusu could return as quickly as possible.

………

"Young Master, it seems Wang Jian's side has run out of provisions."

The news of Wang Jian running out of provisions was actually hidden very well.

After all, it wasn't night yet.

Most soldiers didn't know the news that they had run out of provisions.

As long as Young Master Fusu could transport the provisions by night, they could safely pass this stage.

But if the provisions hadn't arrived by night, this news would likely spread, causing panic.

But Faceless was hidden within the army, so naturally, he could learn the news the fastest.

"They ran out of provisions so quickly?"

Ying Mo was somewhat surprised.

In the process of marching and fighting, besides the provisions escorted by the rear, generals would carry a portion of provisions themselves.

"Wang Jian reduced many provisions to speed up the march."

"The provisions they have on them now are estimated to only last until noon today."

Lu Li said.

Ying Mo hadn't expected Wang Jian to choose to do this.

"Has Fusu already rushed to Jiuzhou Commandery?"

Ying Mo then asked another question.

"At the first light of dawn today, Fusu set out."

"He should have already reached Jiuzhou Commandery by now."

Lu Li had a very clear grasp of the movements of these people.

"What is the situation in Jiuzhou Commandery?"

"The Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate sent people to surround this batch of provisions and strictly forbade anyone from touching them."

"Subsequently, he immediately had someone report back to Ying Zheng, deciding to let Ying Zheng decide the fate of these provisions."

Lu Li recounted the situation over there.

After hearing the whole process of the matter, a flash of contemplation crossed Ying Mo's eyes.

"What do you think he is trying to do by doing this?"

"The subordinate feels that the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate seems to want to detain these provisions in place."

Lu Li thought for a moment and then answered.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion also sent back news that the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate did not choose an 800-li urgent messenger.

This shows he didn't want the news to reach Ying Zheng early.

Everything he did was reasonable and according to regulations.

But his slow-moving actions made people very suspicious.

"Have you found out who the person behind him is?"

"The Heavenly Secret Pavilion started investigating when they sensed this person was abnormal."

"The specific person behind him hasn't been found yet, but it should be someone in the imperial court."

Lu Li continued.

"Someone in the imperial court."

Several names flashed rapidly through Ying Mo's mind.

He wasn't quite sure if these people were the ones behind the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate.

"Find out as quickly as possible who the person behind this Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate is."

Ying Mo gave the order directly.

He wanted to see who had stretched out their hand at such a critical juncture.

It seems this entire Great Qin still hid all kinds of people harboring evil intentions.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to strike at Fusu after he left.

A flash of inspiration crossed Ying Mo's mind.

"What has Huhai been doing during this time?"

"Young Master, Huhai has been following Ying Zheng during this time, handling government affairs."

"According to the news sent back by spies, Huhai seems to rarely return to his own palace."

"Under Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters, Huhai simply has no opportunity to meet anyone."

Lu Li knew what Ying Mo was guessing.

But this matter seemed to truly have nothing to do with Huhai.

"Hmph, do you really think he is that clean?"

"It is precisely because of his actions to cover up that he exposed himself."

"Keep a close watch on him; I don't believe the person behind the scenes won't meet with him."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Ying Mo's mouth.

How could this matter have nothing to do with Huhai?

After an event occurs, the person who can gain the greatest benefit behind this event.

Is very likely the instigator of this event.

The person who could gain the greatest benefit in this matter if Fusu disappeared was Huhai.

So Huhai absolutely couldn't be innocent in this matter.

Of course, there was no such possibility, but with Huhai's personality, it was unlikely.

And Fusu's death would definitely enrage Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng would definitely spare no cost to investigate it thoroughly.

In this situation, in order to ensure that he could successfully sit in that position, Huhai would absolutely not get involved in this matter at all.

Perhaps Ying Zheng would have suspicions about Huhai.

Huhai didn't intervene in the whole matter, and not a single piece of evidence could be found.

But as long as there was no evidence from Ying Zheng, Huhai's status would remain innocent.

Then in the world, Huhai would only become Ying Zheng's only heir.

It can only be said that the plan of the person behind Huhai was very thorough.

And the thinking was also very perfect.

By isolating Huhai completely, they removed the relationship between Huhai and this matter.

To achieve the goal of successfully sending Huhai to that position.

Good means!
