~6 min read 1,149 words

The news of the Great Chu remnants occupying Taiyuan Commandery spread throughout Great Qin like snowflakes.

"Have you heard the news?"

"Are you talking about the news from the Great Chu remnants? I have indeed heard it."

"How are we supposed to live like this? My third uncle is still in this Taiyuan Commandery."

"Taiyuan Commandery has now been controlled by the Great Chu remnants, I fear your third uncle..."

After this person discussing it finished these words, he saw the face of the person opposite him change immediately.

People discussing this matter on the streets were everywhere.

At this time, the climate had long since entered the cold winter.

Snowflakes drifted down, and the outdoors was soon covered in a layer of white.

Inside the wooden house, the kettle emitted steaming heat, carrying a hint of tea's fragrance.

Hearing Ying Mo's legs were covered with a thick layer of fox fur.

Although his legs were no longer a major issue, they would still ache faintly during extremely cold weather.

"Young Master."

"The Great Chu remnants have occupied Taiyuan Commandery."

Lu Li said.

But when Hearing Ying Mo heard this news, no look of surprise appeared on his face.

Clearly, he had already anticipated this news.

As early as when he learned the Great Chu remnants had entered the territory of Taiyuan Commandery, he had already guessed this result.

"Wang Jian did not impulsively lead troops to launch a direct attack on the Great Chu remnants, but chose to set up camp outside the city."

"According to the news sent back by Wumian, there seems to be a situation with the provisions on Wang Jian's side as well."

When Lu Li said this, Hearing Ying Mo's gaze paused for a moment.

There was a problem with the provisions on Wang Jian's side too?

"Tell me in detail."

"The escort of this batch of provisions should have been the responsibility of a person named Wang Qiming."

"But in the process of escorting the provisions, this person was directly killed by a group of mountain bandits."

"Subsequently, the provisions were held in Jiuzhou Commandery; the Administrator of Jiuzhou Commandery seems to have some problems."

Lu Li recounted all the news he had learned.

"When did Wang Qiming die?"

"Yesterday."

"Then this batch of provisions should have been stopped in Jiuzhou Commandery for two days already."

Regarding Hearing Ying Mo's words, Lu Li nodded lightly.

The Administrator of Jiuzhou Commandery claimed that no one had the authority to touch this batch of provisions, forbidding anyone from approaching them.

But he indeed had not done anything to this batch of provisions.

So no one could pick a fault with him.

After all, provisions are the top priority in the army, and those without authority cannot approach them.

But the person the Jiuzhou Commandery Administrator sent to report to Ying Zheng was not an 800-li urgent dispatch.

If he wanted to wait for this person to convey the news to Xianyang City, I fear it would take at least three to five days.

These three to five days, I fear, would be hard for Wang Jian at the front to endure.

After all, in order to travel light, Wang Jian did not bring that many provisions.

"As an old general, how could Wang Jian not consider this problem?"

Hearing Ying Mo's brows furrowed, and he was slightly puzzled.

For a general, provisions are exceptionally important.

Logically speaking, this situation should absolutely not happen to Wang Jian.

"This Wang Qiming should be a collateral branch of the Wang family, deeply trusted by Wang Jian."

"Wang Jian should have been very reassured handing the provisions to him."

"But no one expected he would be killed by sudden thieves."

I fear that at this moment, even Wang Jian himself has not received the news.

"Is there really no movement on Wang Jian's side?"

Hearing Ying Mo felt it was somewhat impossible; with provisions long overdue, Wang Jian should also have become suspicious.

"There is indeed suspicion on Wang Jian's side."

"Prince Fusu left Taiyuan Commandery this morning and headed to Qi River in Jiuzhou Commandery."

Lu Li continued.

When Hearing Ying Mo heard this news, his brows furrowed again.

Does this Prince Fusu not know how dangerous his own surroundings are?

"Has anyone made a move in Xianyang City?"

"Currently, no accurate news has been received, but..."

"Speak directly if you have something to say."

Hearing Ying Mo glanced at Lu Li.

"Yes."

"I originally thought that once Prince Fusu left Xianyang City, Hu Hai would definitely make a move."

"But the spies of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in Xianyang City sent back news that Hu Hai shows no signs of making a move at all."

"And he has not asked about any situation on the front lines."

When Lu Li heard this news, he felt it was highly suspicious.

Given Hu Hai's personality, it was absolutely impossible for him to let go of such a good opportunity.

After all, as long as Prince Fusu disappeared, he would be the sole heir to all of Great Qin.

When Hearing Ying Mo learned this news, his brows twitched slightly.

"Are you sure Hu Hai has not been in contact with anyone?"

"Young Master, I am very certain he has not."

"And the spies we arranged in Xianyang City have not discovered anyone under Hu Hai's command in contact with anyone."

It was precisely because he had checked repeatedly and still found nothing that Lu Li felt it was suspicious.

A flash of contemplation crossed Hearing Ying Mo's eyes.

"This is absolutely impossible; Hu Hai would not let go of such a good opportunity."

"It can only be said that the hidden means of the person behind the scenes are too clever, deceiving our spies."

Hearing Ying Mo was very certain.

"Young Master, what do you mean?"

Lu Li raised his head with some hesitation.

"Let Lu Bing personally follow by Prince Fusu's side."

"I want to see exactly whose hand has stretched so far."

A thin layer of murderous intent flashed in Hearing Ying Mo's eyes.

To have arranged a plan thousands of miles away while in Xianyang City, it seems the energy of the person behind the scenes is not small.

"Yes."

Lu Li soon notified Lu Bing of the news.

When Lu Bing received the news, he didn't even think about it and went directly to search for Prince Fusu's tracks.

With Wumian's help, he soon found Prince Fusu.

Just as Lu Bing wanted to approach Prince Fusu's side, he sensed an aura.

Upon sensing this aura, he immediately hid in the deeper shadows.

He didn't expect that besides the guards on the surface, Prince Fusu had more than one or two hidden guards by his side. ===== CHAPTER 391 =====

By his side, there were also more than just one or two hidden guards concealed.
