Chapter 191

"All those who are investigated, kill them without exception."

"Some people have long hands and big hearts."

Ying Zheng's voice was cold, like the bitter winter of the twelfth month.

He had already anticipated that Fusu would definitely encounter danger during this trip to the army to hone himself.

So he had specially arranged a group of secret guards to follow Fusu and protect him.

But if Fusu could be injured, this group of secret guards had probably already been wiped out.

This made Ying Zheng immediately realize that the people behind this were not simple.

This group of secret guards under his command.

Were not people that just anyone could easily deal with.

To be able to resolve this group of secret guards under his command, their strength was probably not low.

To be able to cultivate such experts, how could the person behind them be simple?

"Zhang Liang was also by Fusu's side; was he also injured?"

Ying Zheng suddenly remembered this Confucian disciple.

He had no particular feelings about the Confucian School.

Among these Hundred Schools of Thought, the Confucian School could be considered as leaning toward Great Qin.

But Ying Zheng did not like the philosophy of the Confucian School very much.

"Replying to Your Majesty, yes, he was also injured."

Zhang Han said from the side.

"Zhang Liang's strength is not weak; even he was injured, so this time it is probably truly dangerous."

Ying Zheng's face darkened once again.

"Your Majesty, is it necessary to summon the Young Master back? Staying outside is too dangerous."

Zhang Han asked.

"No rush."

"Let Gai Nie go to Fusu's side to protect him first."

"If Fusu were to return to Xianyang City immediately at this time, I fear the people behind this would continue to strike."

"I cannot gamble."

Ying Zheng shook his head and refused.

If Fusu was injured and returned to Xianyang City immediately at this time, there would be no one to protect him along the way.

If they encountered the group of people behind this again, Fusu's life would probably truly be in jeopardy.

For this son whom he valued slightly, Ying Zheng did not dare to gamble.

At this moment, Ying Zheng did not know at all that Fusu had already been poisoned and did not have long to live.

If he knew that Fusu had been poisoned, he would probably have had Fusu rush back to Xianyang City as quickly as possible.

But the news was suppressed by Fusu, and only the news of his serious injury was sent back.

Zhang Han heard His Majesty's words, nodded, and did not say anything else.

The journey from Taiyuan Commandery back to Xianyang City was indeed somewhat dangerous.

It was better to let Gai Nie reach Fusu's side as soon as possible before making further plans.

Only when Gai Nie reached Fusu's side as soon as possible could Ying Zheng feel slightly at ease.

After all, Gai Nie's strength was not weak.

……

……

…….

"Trash."

"Didn't you say that you could completely resolve Fusu this time? Why is Fusu still not dead?"

A heavy slap landed directly on Xu Qi's face.

Xu Qi's entire body was knocked slightly to the side.

Fortunately, the entire palace was empty, and there were no other people present.

A trace of resentment flashed in Xu Qi's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

"I beg the Young Master to calm your anger."

"Although we did not end Young Master Fusu's life this time, as long as there is a next opportunity, Young Master Fusu will surely die."

Xu Qi said with his head lowered.

"There is a next time?"

"How is it possible that there will be a next time?"

"As soon as the news of Fusu's assassination was sent back, Father Emperor was immediately furious."

"He must have already arranged for people to protect Fusu."

"How could there still be an opportunity for you to continue harming Fusu?"

Hu Hai was furious.

Such a rare opportunity was truly hard to come by.

They had spent so much effort just to get Fusu away from Wang Jian's side.

And then make a move on Fusu to resolve him as quickly as possible.

Yet they did not expect that the result was only a serious injury, which did not endanger Fusu's life at all.

How could Hu Hai be willing to accept this?

"Does the Young Master know why Young Master Fusu is seriously injured?"

Xu Qi said.

"Hmph!"

"This is clearly news released by Fusu to confuse people."

"Fusu definitely has nothing major wrong with him now; otherwise, Father Emperor would definitely have made Fusu rush back to Xianyang City immediately."

Growing up in the imperial family, Hu Hai was not without ability.

Whether this news was true or false, he could judge at a glance.

Seriously injured?

How is that possible!

Fusu at most suffered some minor injuries.

This was what Hu Hai found hard to accept.

After planning for so long, he only suffered some minor injuries.

Hu Hai downed the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Looking at Xu Qi's eyes, there was a kind of light flickering.

Xu Qi immediately noticed Hu Hai's gaze, and his heart suddenly chilled.

"Not so, not so."

"Fusu is probably truly seriously injured."

Xu Qi said very firmly.

"Oh?"

Hearing these words from Xu Qi, Hu Hai looked over with interest.

"The people who went to assassinate Fusu this time specially brought a trump card."

"Once the trump card is used, it is impossible for anyone present to be left alive."

Xu Qi said.

After he finished speaking, Hu Hai immediately sneered.

"You said it was impossible to leave anyone alive, so what about Fusu?"

After speaking, he let out a soft cold snort.

"Does the Young Master know what this trump card I mentioned is?"

Xu Qi remained in that calm manner.

"Speak directly if you have something to say."

Hu Hai was already too lazy to continue asking.

Xu Qi also knew that their cooperation with Hu Hai, if they could not produce a result that satisfied Hu Hai,

Hu Hai would probably choose to terminate the cooperation with them.

If Hu Hai terminated the cooperation with their Yin-Yang School, then all the status he had gained in the Yin-Yang School would be like a moon in the water, coming to nothing.

"This object is called the Rain of Needles."

"Once opened, it will shoot out ten thousand silver needles as fine as ox hair within the time of a single breath."

"Every silver needle is coated with deadly poison; once it enters the body, it can make a person die from the poison in the shortest possible time."

Xu Qi said slowly.

After hearing Xu Qi's words, Hu Hai's eyes widened slightly.

"You possess such a terrifying weapon, yet you still couldn't resolve Fusu."

He felt that he was even angrier now.

"Fusu has already been poisoned, and he probably won't live much longer."

"Doesn't the Young Master think this is an opportunity?"

"If Fusu had really died in that assassination, even if Ying Zheng didn't suspect you, he would still have had opinions."

"But as long as Fusu didn't die in the assassination, and died from the poison later, this has nothing to do with you at all."

"This kind of poison is incurable."

Xu Qi said.

"Are you sure this kind of poison is incurable?"

"Then when exactly will Fusu die?"

Hearing this, the pent-up anger in Hu Hai's heart finally dissipated a little.

"Fusu hasn't died yet, probably because an expert is suppressing the toxins in his body."

"Looking at it this way, in less than a few months, Fusu will definitely die."

"Even if this kind of toxin is suppressed, it will slowly spread over time."

Xu Qi was very certain.

"Very good, then I will believe you one more time."

"I give you three months; if Fusu is not dead in three months, our cooperation will end completely."

A coldness flashed in Hu Hai's eyes.

He was willing to cooperate with these people precisely because he could get what he wanted from their hands.

But he was not just capable of cooperating with these people alone.

If others could also give him what he wanted, he would not mind cooperating with others.

"I beg the Young Master to rest assured, this time I will definitely satisfy the Young Master."

Xu Qi said.

A thought flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Hu Hai's appearance, it seemed that he had already begun to develop a sense of distrust toward them.

Xu Qi knew.

This was not a good sign.

After all, Hu Hai was just a chess piece in their hands to control Great Qin.

If this chess piece developed suspicions toward them, it would be equivalent to making the act of controlling the entire Great Qin more difficult.

It seems that the most urgent thing now is to win back Hu Hai's trust in them.

………

In the courtyard.

"You are saying that Hu Hai has already developed suspicions toward us?"

Donghuang Taiyi's voice was unusually cold, and in this night, it undoubtedly deepened a few degrees.

"That's right, Leader, if we cannot resolve Fusu as soon as possible, I fear Hu Hai will choose to terminate the cooperation with us."

Xu Qi's brows furrowed.

Thud.

As soon as his words were finished, his entire body was immediately sent flying by a powerful force.

Then he fell heavily to the ground.

"Leader."

A trace of panic appeared in Xu Qi's eyes.

He struggled to crawl up from the ground and then knelt before Donghuang Taiyi.

"Hu Hai is just a chess piece in our hands."

"He does not yet have the qualifications to refuse to cooperate with us."

"It seems that the things that have happened during this period have made this little chess piece a bit too big for his boots."

"It is time to properly discipline him."

Donghuang Taiyi's cold voice echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

Subsequently, his entire figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

Watching Donghuang Taiyi leave, everyone present let out a sigh of relief.

And Hu Hai, who was resting in his sleeping quarters, did not know at all.

A terrifying figure was rapidly approaching his location.
