Chapter 324

"Only by breaking through oneself can one become stronger."

"After returning, eliminate the fear in your heart."

Ying Mo looked at Lu Li with a calm gaze.

He had also seen Lu Li's performance just now.

He did not know what Lu Li had encountered to have such a look of fear and pain on his face.

But no matter what was encountered, the people under his command absolutely could not have such a performance.

"Yes."

Lu Li lowered his head.

The commotion caused here not only attracted the attention of Xianyang City,

but also attracted the attention of others.

"I heard that the Daoist school angered Made Ying Zheng, leading Made Ying Zheng to exterminate them."

"I heard that in these past few days, countless Daoists have died."

In a village,

several burly men sat there chatting.

And the subject of their discussion was precisely the Daoists trapped in the valley.

"What do you think happened to make the Daoists anger Made Ying Zheng?"

"With Bei Mingzi's personality, he would absolutely not do something that would subvert the Daoist orthodoxy."

An old man with a white beard asked.

Based on their understanding of Bei Mingzi,

everything Bei Mingzi did was for the better development of the Daoist school.

They truly could not understand why Made Ying Zheng would strike at the Daoists.

"I heard,"

"Bei Mingzi seems to have interfered in the matter from five years ago."

One of the burly men whispered this, then fell into silence.

Even though they were on their own turf,

when talking about these things, they still unconsciously lowered their voices.

The others clearly knew what the burly man was talking about.

After hearing the burly man's words, they all fell into silence.

"You should have also heard of the 'Ghost' in Xianyang City, right?"

One of them raised his head and asked.

The others nodded one after another.

The things the Ghost had done were making a huge stir.

Although they were mostly low-key and ignored outside affairs, they had heard of it.

"I heard the Ghost has executed many high-ranking Great Qin officials."

"What a pity, if he were anti-Qin like us, we could have recruited him."

One person sighed regretfully.

"You still want to recruit him?"

"We were also involved in the events of that year."

"If he investigates and finds out about our existence, do you think our fate will be any better than the Daoists'?"

One person snorted coldly.

They clearly knew that the Ghost's appearance in Xianyang City was ultimately to investigate the true culprit from five years ago.

Every person he investigated was resolved by the Ghost without hesitation.

"You mean the Daoists were also involved in the events of five years ago?"

One of them asked in surprise.

"This is almost certainly the case, otherwise Made Ying Zheng would not have suddenly attacked the Daoists."

"And among those besieging the Daoists, there seems to be another hidden force."

With the matter discussed to this point, everyone basically understood why so many major events had occurred during this period.

"We need to erase all traces of the events from five years ago."

The leader said.

The others nodded immediately after hearing this.

Although their strength was decent, they were too scattered.

They were just a gathering of a few small factions.

If they truly confronted those powers,

they feared they would not escape the fate of being wiped out.

General Meng Tian led ten thousand city guards and arrived outside Xianyang City.

This naturally could not escape Wang Jian's eyes.

"Father, why do you think His Majesty had General Meng Tian lead the army?"

A trace of annoyance appeared in Wang Ben's eyes.

He considered himself no weaker than General Meng Tian in military matters.

Why did His Majesty hand this matter to General Meng Tian to be responsible for?

"Don't tell me you still want to go?"

Wang Jian looked at his son.

"Do you really think those Daoists are that easy to deal with?"

Wang Jian said bluntly.

Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, which faction didn't have one or two trump cards?

If it truly reached that point, those who went would likely suffer heavy casualties.

"Father, if we could resolve this matter beautifully, we would definitely regain His Majesty's trust."

"Isn't that important?"

Wang Ben was somewhat uncomprehending.

Because gaining Made Ying Zheng's trust could further consolidate their Wang family's status.

As long as their status was consolidated, the power in their hands would be greater.

And this was what he had always been plotting.

"... You still don't see it clearly."

Wang Jian sighed deeply, then glanced at his son.

The height he had reached today was never given by that person.

It was something he climbed up to step by step, something he obtained step by step.

And that person's trust was merely the icing on the cake.

If one were to pin the power in one's hands on that person's trust,

it would only make one's power like the moon reflected in water.

"Since His Majesty did not hand this matter to you, then you don't need to think about it anymore."

"Stay at home honestly for this period, and do not make any moves."

After speaking, Wang Jian glared at Wang Ben.

He had not yet dealt with the matter of Li Si from last time.

If not for His Majesty suddenly summoning them into the palace last time,

he feared their Wang family and Li Si would still be at odds.

Do not look at the fact that Li Si had already lost His Majesty's trust.

If one truly calculated it, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

If Li Si truly wanted to play tricks on their Wang family, even if they could cope, they would likely suffer severe damage. ===== CHAPTER 326 =====
