After confirming his position, Helian Bobo immediately issued orders to everyone.

"Kurde, you lead a small team of men to go to the location of Great Qin to scout the situation."

"After having a suitable target, return immediately to report."

Helian Bobo said to Kurde.

Although he was defeated, Kurde didn't care at all.

He patted his chest and then laughed out loud.

"Rest assured, I will choose a good target this time."

Immediately, he pointed to a few good men, rode on big horses, and galloped toward the location of Great Qin.

………

In Xianyang City.

Hour of the Rat (midnight).

Made Ying Zheng sat quietly in the palace.

He was alone, yet there were two teacups in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, a person appeared in front of him.

"Taste this newly offered tea..."

Made Ying Zheng said, and Zhang Han immediately appeared beside him, pouring tea into the two cups.

Made Ying Zheng picked up the teacup first and took a sip.

From beginning to end, he did not mention what Ying Mo had come for this time.

Ying Mo's gaze looked toward Made Ying Zheng.

He then picked up the teacup on the table and took a light sip.

"Good tea."

"The tea fragrance is rich, bitter upon entering the mouth, then sweet afterward."

After taking only one sip, Ying Mo knew this was a cup of good tea.

The fragrance lingered on the lips and teeth.

A smile immediately appeared on Made Ying Zheng's face.

"This tea is ultimately a bit old; it's not as smooth as new tea."

Ying Mo's gaze fluctuated slightly.

"Old tea ultimately has an aftertaste; new tea doesn't have this kind of strength."

Made Ying Zheng, after hearing Ying Mo's words, had a stunned expression.

He then laughed.

"What you say is also true; new tea ultimately doesn't have this kind of strength."

"Tomorrow is the three-day deadline; who exactly do you intend to take action against?"

Immediately, Made Ying Zheng asked again.

Ying Mo drank another sip of tea.

"Do you have any clues on your side?"

Otherwise, Made Ying Zheng would not ask him who he intended to take action against.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you."

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Made Ying Zheng's mouth again.

He just likes communicating with smart people like this.

With just one sentence, with just one look, the other party can understand your meaning.

It's a pity,

now they are on the same side, but it's hard to say about the future.

"I have indeed uncovered some news now."

"I just don't know what you intend to do."

Made Ying Zheng continued to say.

Ying Mo did not speak.

He just looked calmly at Made Ying Zheng, seemingly waiting for his next words.

Made Ying Zheng chuckled slightly and then continued to say.

"You should also know that the Xiongnu appearing in the borderlands is absolutely not without cause."

"But why did they appear in the borderlands at this time?"

"If you say there is no handiwork of those people in this, I will not believe it."

"But why would those people make the Xiongnu suddenly active?"

Made Ying Zheng looked toward Ying Mo.

"You mean to say that they want to use the news of the Xiongnu to attract my attention."

Ying Mo said calmly.

Made Ying Zheng, after hearing Ying Mo's words, had an even more obvious smile on his face.

He just said he likes communicating with smart people.

"That's right."

"That group of people went to such great pains to set up such a big game of chess just to attract your attention."

"Only when you leave Xianyang City and head to the border to deal with those Xiongnu will they make their next move."

Made Ying Zheng said.

Ying Mo's gaze flickered again.

"There are still no clues about the previous man in black."

"If this matter was really plotted by them,"

"once I leave..."

Ying Mo did not say the words that followed.

Made Ying Zheng, however, laughed.

"What you are thinking now is naturally what that group of people is thinking."

"As long as you leave my side, there will be no one left who can contend with their existence."

"I'm afraid the next step for that group of people will be to take action against me, right?"

"... After all, once you clear away the Xiongnu, you likely won't let them off."

Made Ying Zheng said.

Ying Mo did not speak.

He felt that since Made Ying Zheng had already thought of this, why did he still say the previous words?

"Why don't we play along with their scheme?"

"As long as you release the news that you are heading to the border to attack the Xiongnu,"

"I'm afraid that group of people will make a move in the next step."

Made Ying Zheng stated his plan.

Ying Mo's gaze flickered, and he immediately understood Made Ying Zheng's meaning.

"Last time I was careless and didn't expect those two to have such high strength."

"This time, I must ensure that all the true masterminds behind the scenes are eradicated."

Made Ying Zheng's expression immediately turned cold, and he said in a cold voice.

The mistake from last time will not happen again.

"What do you intend to do?"

Ying Mo asked.

"This time, I will personally be the bait."

"I think the target of that group of people should be me."

"You can hide by my side."

Made Ying Zheng said.

Although his expression was calm, he felt somewhat uncertain in his heart.
