Chapter 287

In Xianyanggong.

Ying Zheng frowned as he listened to Zhang Han's words.

"You mean, after investigating for so long, there is still no clue about the Ghost?"

Ying Zheng's tone was a bit strange.

Zhang Han sensed this slight difference, but still nodded.

Ever since he said he would train a new batch of personnel for His Majesty last time,

his main task during this period had been to train a batch of guards capable of protecting Ying Zheng.

After training for a long time, Zhang Han was finally somewhat satisfied with the abilities of this batch of guards.

But what he didn't expect was that their first mission would be a failure.

This group of well-trained guards simply couldn't find the whereabouts of the Ghost.

According to the reports that came back, their movements were even exposed to the enemy.

"Is this the person you trained?"

Ying Zheng's voice was somewhat low and deep.

Zhang Han fell to his knees with a thud directly before Ying Zheng.

"Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Zhang Han's face was full of seriousness.

He knew that this matter was ultimately because he hadn't done well enough.

As a subject, one cannot share the worries of the monarch.

It is only right for His Majesty to impose punishment.

"Get up."

Although Ying Zheng's face was gloomy, he still spoke.

He had no intention of punishing Zhang Han.

"Tell me, just how mysterious a person is he?"

A glimmer of exploration appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes.

The longer he was in contact with the Ghost, the more curious he felt about the Ghost.

"Your subordinate feels that the Ghost is very mysterious."

"His strength is high, yet there have never been any rumors about him in the Jianghu before."

"And he seems to have a powerful force under his command, but before this, we never noticed it."

"If it weren't for the incident five years ago that brought the Ghost's strength to the surface,"

"I'm afraid that with their strength, we would never be able to investigate."

After Zhang Han finished speaking, the coldness on Ying Zheng's face deepened.

He naturally felt the waves of coldness coming from Ying Zheng, but Zhang Han still bit the bullet and told the truth.

He had always been by His Majesty's side.

Every time His Majesty came into contact with the Ghost, he was also by His Majesty's side.

So he had the same feelings as His Majesty.

"How can one allow others to snore on the side of one's couch?"

"I am a bit uneasy."

After a long silence, Ying Zheng finally spoke slowly.

He knew that this thought of his was inappropriate.

After all, the appearance of the Ghost had more advantages than disadvantages for him.

He could find the true culprit from five years ago through the Ghost's hands.

And the Ghost had saved him and Fusu twice.

In the end, he actually owed the Ghost more.

But to have a person by his side whose background he knew nothing about, yet who felt threatening,

Ying Zheng's heart still produced a complex emotion.

He knew he shouldn't doubt the Ghost, shouldn't speculate about him too much.

But he simply couldn't restrain his suspicious imperial heart.

He hadn't felt this deeply before.

But when he prepared to find some clues about the Ghost this time, to find the Ghost,

he discovered that if the Ghost hadn't taken the initiative to contact him, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to find the Ghost at all.

Knowing this, Ying Zheng felt a mix of emotions deep in his heart.

And everything they were doing now was naturally seen by Lu Bing.

When Lu Bing heard that there was a mysterious force investigating the Ghost's news,

he, who was temporarily in charge of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, immediately had the people of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion investigate back.

Although that mysterious force was difficult to deal with, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was, after all, the most capable intelligence agency in Qin Mo's hands.

If it didn't even have this bit of ability, it wouldn't deserve to be in Qin Mo's hands.

So this mysterious force was eventually found out by the people of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

"Lord Lu Bing, these people seem to be Zhang Han's men."

A subordinate of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion reported the news he had found to Lu Bing.

Lu Bing's eyebrows twitched when he heard the news.

Zhang Han's men were equivalent to Ying Zheng's men.

The Young Master went to the border, why would Ying Zheng suddenly look for the Young Master's whereabouts?

"Have you found out why they are looking for the Ghost?"

Lu Bing asked.

"There are some clues."

"It seems that Fu Nian of the Confucian school is begging Fusu to continue looking for the antidote that appeared before."

"Fusu can only set his sights on Ying Zheng."

"This incident should be Ying Zheng wanting to find the Young Master to obtain the antidote."

This subordinate connected the whole thing together very quickly through some clues.

After listening to the subordinate's words, a sneer of disdain appeared in Lu Bing's eyes.

"How precious is the elixir in the Young Master's hands."

"These Confucian people really have a good plan."

Lu Bing said disdainfully.

The news here was quickly transmitted to Qin Mo's hands through special means by Lu Bing.

When the carrier pigeon appeared around Lu Li, Lu Li received the news transmitted by Lu Bing.

After checking all the content, Lu Li came to Qin Mo's side immediately.

"Young Master, news has come from Xianyanggong."

Lu Li said.

"Speak."

Qin Mo's expression remained calm.

"Lu Bing sent a letter saying that Ying Zheng seems to want to find the Young Master and then beg for the antidote in the Young Master's hands."

Qin Mo was slightly stunned when he heard Lu Li's words.

He quickly understood why Ying Zheng would do this.

"The people from the Confucian school have taken action?"

Qin Mo said.

"That's right, Fu Nian of the Confucian school begged Young Master Fusu."

"So Ying Zheng chose to try and find the Young Master."

Lu Li nodded.

A sneer also appeared on Qin Mo's face.

He had the same thoughts as Lu Bing.
