"... ive him a good burial."

Just about to leave, he saw the corpse of the little eunuch lying on the ground.

Fusu sighed with regret.

If this little eunuch hadn't followed him out, he wouldn't have died here tonight.

Fusu could only give a casual order to the Imperial Guards beside him.

Until he left, Xing Hun's figure slowly appeared on a tree branch.

Looking at Fusu's back, a proud smile appeared on Xing Hun's face.

Tonight's plan had already succeeded by at least eighty percent.

As for the remaining twenty percent, it depends on how he gradually gains Fusu's trust step by step.

………

The assassination in Xianyanggong naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of spies.

Early the next morning, Ying Mo received the news.

"Young Master, there was an assassination in Xianyanggong last night, and Young Master Fusu was assassinated in the palace."

Lu Li reported this news to Ying Mo the first time she received it.

Ying Mo was slightly surprised when he knew the news.

"When Ying Zheng left, didn't he leave Zhang Han behind?"

Ying Mo asked.

How could there be assassins in the palace when Zhang Han was there?

"Zhang Han seems to have been sent out by Fusu, seemingly heading to the Northwest."

Lu Li said.

Speaking of this, Ying Mo nodded gently.

If Zhang Han were still in the palace, the entire palace should be under his control.

It would be absolutely impossible for assassins to enter the palace.

Unless the strength of these assassins was like those experts before.

But in the entire Jianghu, there were only so many experts.

How could they appear in the palace frequently?

"Have you found out who did it?"

Ying Mo then asked another question.

"Found out."

"It seems to have some relationship with the Yin-Yang School."

Lu Li said.

……

……

285. Going up the Mountain, the Weak Ying Zheng! (Please subscribe!)

Ying Mo looked sideways.

Lu Li immediately understood Ying Mo's meaning.

Then she opened her mouth and told the whole thing in detail.

"Young Master Fusu encountered an assassination last night, but he didn't suffer any major harm."

"State Preceptor Xing Hun appeared and saved Fusu."

"And after the Heavenly Secret Pavilion received the news, they immediately investigated the identities of those black-clad men."

"But they found that these black-clad men were just an ordinary assassination organization in the Jianghu."

"Then, after a careful investigation, they found that these people seemed to have had contact with the Yin-Yang School."

Lu Li said all the news she knew.

Ying Mo's brows twitched after knowing the news.

Yin-Yang School?

If he remembered correctly, Xing Hun was also from the Yin-Yang School.

Could it be that this whole play was self-directed and self-acted by the Yin-Yang School?

"Let the people of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion keep a close eye on that place, especially the Yin-Yang School."

Ying Mo said.

He seemed to feel a little bit of something wrong in this matter.

Zhang Han's departure.

The Yin-Yang School buying assassins.

Xing Hun then took action to kill all those black-clad men.

These things connected together, always giving a taste of conspiracy.

It's just that I don't know what Xing Hun and the Yin-Yang School want to do.

"Yes 893."

Lu Li nodded immediately and passed the news down.

"How much longer until we reach Zhongshan?"

Subsequently, Ying Mo looked at Lu Li again.

Lu Li took out the map in her hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then looked up and said.

"Young Master, if there are no accidents, we should be able to reach the territory of Zhongshan tomorrow."

Lu Li said.

…………

And while they were on their way, Ying Zheng had already fasted for a whole day.

When the sky was still dim, Ying Zheng was already dressed in grand attire, leading the civil and military officials, and headed to Zhongshan in a grand manner.

Zhongshan was tall and majestic.

The carriage moved forward somewhat difficultly on the mountain road.

Ying Zheng, sitting in the carriage, felt the journey was exceptionally bumpy.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, all the carriages suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty, we have reached the location, we need to walk the rest of the way."

Eunuch Zhuo said outside the carriage.

Ying Zheng naturally knew this, opened the curtain, and walked out of the carriage.

Looking at the rugged mountain road, Ying Zheng looked up toward the top of Zhongshan.

The dense forest blocked the situation ahead tightly.

All the civil and military officials got off the carriages one after another and followed behind Ying Zheng.

According to the rules of ancestral sacrifice, they must get off the carriage at the middle of Zhongshan and walk to the top of the mountain.

Only in this way could the God of Zhongshan feel their sincerity.

After all the officials were ready, Ying Zheng began to lead all the officials to climb toward the top of the mountain.

At the beginning, Ying Zheng felt it was okay, and his body could still handle it.

But after climbing for a long time, Ying Zheng's body slowly couldn't handle the load.

He felt dizzy, short of breath, and even his legs felt a little weak.

Eunuch Zhuo naturally saw His Majesty's abnormality and had already used his whole body as His Majesty's cane.

Ying Zheng's whole body was pressed heavily on Eunuch Zhuo's body.

But even so, his breathing was still exceptionally heavy.

"Looking at His Majesty like this, he won't intend to give up, will he?"

"But that won't do, walking up the mountain is the rule left by the ancestors."

"If the rules left by the ancestors are easily broken, it will attract the disgust of the gods."

"Will the God of Zhongshan give up on bringing rain to the Northwest because of His Majesty?"

………

Discussions rang out one after another behind him.

Although Ying Zheng couldn't hear clearly, he could hear a rough idea.

Upon hearing the civil and military officials discussing like this behind him, his face immediately turned gloomy.

Eunuch Zhuo, who had been following beside Ying Zheng, naturally heard the movement behind him.

Looking up slightly at Ying Zheng's face, he found that His Majesty's face was already as gloomy as water.

Hardening his heart, Eunuch Zhuo said directly to the back.

"Master Liu, since you are old and somewhat unable to support yourself, then take a rest (bfbc) for a while, I believe His Majesty will definitely sympathize with you."

Eunuch Zhuo's gaze was fixed on an elderly official behind Ying Zheng.

This person named Master Liu, when he heard Eunuch Zhuo talking to him, just wanted to refuse.

He looked up and saw Ying Zheng's eyes.

An extreme oppressive force appeared on his body.

Master Liu, who felt okay before, suddenly felt somewhat heavy.

It seemed that taking a step forward was like carrying a heavy stone of ten thousand catties.

Master Liu was terrified in his heart and immediately understood His Majesty's meaning.

But a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes immediately.

He naturally heard the conversation of these colleagues before.

If he really followed suit at this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get any good among these colleagues.

But if he refused Eunuch Zhuo like this, obviously the whole team would continue to move forward.

Then would His Majesty's anger be vented on him?

Master Liu's face was extremely ugly for a while.

The gaze of his lowered head was full of hatred, and this hatred was directed at Eunuch Zhuo in front of him.

"Since Master Liu is old, then take a rest for a while."

Ying Zheng spoke, his low voice echoing in everyone's ears.

And those officials naturally also saw Ying Zheng's eyes just now, and at this time, no one dared to say another word.

They lowered their heads one after another, and then found a position at random to start resting.

Although their bodies were not as weak as Ying Zheng's, they had long been unable to support themselves.

But after walking for so long, they were still somewhat tired.

After all, most of these officials were pampered, when had they ever suffered such hardship?

"Your Majesty, can you still persist?"

Eunuch Zhuo looked at Ying Zheng with some worry.

It was really that His Majesty's whole body was almost pressed on him just now.

And he was completely relying on his own strength to walk a small distance slowly.

Looking at the top of the mountain that still couldn't be seen, Eunuch Zhuo felt some worry for a while.

He was somewhat worried about whether he could bring His Majesty to the top of the mountain.

Ying Zheng's face was as gloomy as water.

If it were before, he wouldn't even pant once walking from the foot of the mountain to the top.

But ever since his body was completely hollowed out by those elixirs,

He no longer had such physical strength.

When holding the prayer ceremony, he had also considered these things.

But the wishes of the people were too strong.

And he also knew how great the benefits would be after this matter.

So he could only nod and agree.

Ying Zheng did not answer the little eunuch's words.

Because he was also thinking in his mind how to solve the following things.

He hadn't even walked a small half of the journey, and he was already somewhat unable to support himself.

The road behind would only be longer.

……

……

…….

286. Deterrence, Thunderous Means! (Please subscribe!)

During this time, Ying Mo hurried and finally arrived at the territory of Zhongshan.

Just approaching Zhongshan, he found that the entire Zhongshan was heavily guarded.

A large number of government troops had already surrounded the entire ~Zhongshan.

Within ten miles of Zhongshan, no idler appeared inside.

"Young Master, Ying Zheng should have gone up the mountain."

Lu Li said affirmatively.

According to the process on Ying Zheng's side, they should be climbing up the mountain now.

Lu Li had long since figured out the entire sacrificial process of Ying Zheng's prayer ceremony.

After Ying Mo nodded, he passed through the heavily guarded guards outside as if entering an empty place.

Then he walked quickly toward the top of Zhongshan.

Lu Li followed closely behind Ying Mo.

It was only half a stick of incense time before he saw the figure of Ying Zheng's large army.

Looking at these people below, sitting cross-legged on the stones to rest.

Ying Mo flashed a few times, and his figure changed positions quickly on the treetops.

Soon he appeared at the front of the team and had already seen Ying Zheng's position.

Ying Zheng was sitting in front with a gloomy face.

Looking at Ying Zheng's gloomy face at this moment, Ying Mo's brows furrowed slightly.

Obviously, something should have happened just now.

Otherwise, Ying Zheng's face would not be so ugly.

But obviously, in public now, he couldn't listen to what happened just now at all.

Ying Mo hid quietly on the tree, waiting for the team to continue moving forward.

When observing the entire team, he also saw the Moon Goddess sitting not far from Ying Zheng's side.

That woman was still wearing a veil, hiding her entire face under the light gauze.

The graceful figure, even wearing complicated State Preceptor ceremonial clothes, could not be blocked.

Seeming to notice that someone was watching her, this woman suddenly opened her eyes.

But her strength was not as high as Ying Mo's, and she couldn't immediately lock onto Ying Mo's position.

"Good perception."

The corner of Ying Mo's mouth suddenly hooked up, and then he sighed lightly.

Lu Li beside him heard Ying Mo's praise for this woman, and her eyes flickered.

An inexplicable emotion appeared in her eyes.

The Moon Goddess was originally closing her eyes and resting.

Suddenly, she felt that she seemed to be watched by some terrifying existence.

A feeling of being watched made her wake up immediately.

She looked around, but found that she couldn't find any place with abnormalities around her at all.

The Moon Goddess's brows immediately furrowed.

She didn't think that the feeling just now was an illusion.

She didn't find any abnormalities, which could only explain one point.

The person who was staring at her just now had strength far higher than her.
