Chapter 55

Wanting to make him fearful because of this!!!

However,

He, Ying Mo,

How could he retreat because of this?!

Feeling the terrifying killing intent on Ying Mo, Lu Li felt a sense of awe!

"Young Master, what should we do next?!"

Lu Li asked Ying Mo with a grave expression: "These people are so deranged..."

"Investigate!"

Ying Mo gritted his teeth and said with murderous intent: "Find out for me exactly how many citizens in Xianyang City were injured because of this!"

"And..."

"Have the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard..."

"Investigate that Grandmaster who was injured that day with all their might!"

"As for the ordinary injured citizens, find a way to compensate them."

Ying Mo said coldly.

"Young Master is righteous!"

Lu Li felt a jolt in her heart upon hearing Ying Mo’s words: "I will urge my subordinates to step up the investigation!"

"And I will also notify Cao Zhengchun to increase the intensity of the investigation!"

"We will definitely find out the Grandmaster powerhouse who was injured that day!"

Listening to Lu Li’s assurance.

Ying Mo nodded slightly.

Killing intent flickered in his eyes, murderous and fierce: "We must find out..."

"I will uncover all of them and use their blood to atone for the soldiers of the Annan Army and the innocent victims..."

"Atonement!!!"

The actions of those hiding behind the scenes,

Had completely enraged Ying Mo,

Causing the killing intent in his heart to surge violently!

"The fact that these people are making such a big move this time is good news for our investigation..." Lu Li nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "The more they act, the more traces they expose, and the more directions we have for our investigation..."

"Go!"

Ying Mo nodded slightly, knowing Lu Li was right.

"Yes!"

Lu Li did not hesitate further.

After nodding, she immediately went to arrange for her subordinates to increase the investigation.

And had someone notify Cao Zhengchun of the Eastern Depot.

Ordering them to increase the investigation outside the city, striving to catch the culprit in the shortest possible time.

Ying Mo watched Lu Li’s departing back.

In his eyes, cold as a frozen pool, icy killing intent flickered.

"Since you dare to provoke me..."

"Then be prepared to face the bloody storm that comes from provoking me!"

"This deep blood feud must be avenged!"

The deranged behavior of these people had completely enraged Ying Mo.

In fact,

This matter,

Not only enraged him,

But also enraged Ying Zheng within the Xianyang Palace!

"Your Majesty, over a thousand citizens in Xianyang City died overnight!"

"And another thousand had their left hands severed!"

"According to clues, it is preliminarily determined to be the work of Xiongnu spies..."

"..."

Early in the morning, Zhang Han came to Ying Zheng’s palace.

To report urgently on what happened in Xianyang City yesterday.

Ying Zheng’s expression turned gloomy the moment he heard the news reported by Zhang Han.

His body was trembling slightly.

Killing intent surged in his eyes, and his pupils were somewhat bloodshot.

"Presumptuous!"

"These people are too presumptuous!"

"Daring to slaughter my people at the feet of the Son of Heaven..."

"This is a provocation against me!!!"

The furious Ying Zheng spoke with a tone full of sinister, icy chill, filled with murderous intent!

He stared sharply at Zhang Han: "Can it be confirmed that this was indeed the work of the Xiongnu?!"

Ying Zheng’s mind was churning, feeling that this matter was not so simple.

Tens of thousands of Xiongnu elite troops had just been wiped out,

Their vitality severely damaged,

How could they have the courage and the ability at this time...

To stir up such a bloody storm in Xianyang City...

Overnight?!

Therefore,

There must be something fishy about this!!!

"Your Majesty..."

Zhang Han, hearing Ying Zheng’s words, quickly responded: "There is indeed something fishy about this!!!"

…….

"We investigated and discovered that those so-called Xiongnu spies..."

"Are very likely people in disguise!"

"We know exactly how many Xiongnu spies are in Xianyang City..."

"We have been monitoring them all along!"

"And when the incident occurred, these Xiongnu spies didn't move at all..."

"So..."

"This matter should not have been done by Xiongnu spies!"

Zhang Han reported the situation he had investigated to Ying Zheng one by one.

"As I thought!!!"

Ying Zheng sneered repeatedly upon hearing this: "These people aren't even bothering to hide it anymore..."

"They actually came up with such a lame excuse to spread around, just to deceive people..."

"What is this?!"

"Is it a provocation against me?!"

Those behind the scenes were actually using such a stupid method to cover things up.

Ying Zheng didn't think they were truly stupid or clumsy.

Instead...

These people were provoking him!!!

Provoking everyone who was investigating them!

"Your Majesty..."

Zhang Han looked at Ying Zheng’s gloomy expression and said after a moment of hesitation: "It seems this matter was done by the mastermind..."

"Yes!"

Ying Zheng nodded: "It must be!!!"

"By doing this, they are implicitly admitting that the incident five years ago..."

"Was a conspiracy!"

"Young Master Mo was indeed murdered!!!"

Boom!!!

The aura on Ying Zheng’s body,

Suddenly became terrifying!

Terrifying killing intent radiated from him, and his eyes were filled with raging fire!

"Order Li Xin immediately!"

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and ordered in a deep voice: "Seal off the entire Xianyang City immediately!!!"

"Close the city gates of Xianyang, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will!"

"I want to turn the entire Xianyang City upside down; even if I have to dig three feet deep, I will find the people responsible!"

"Killing my son, harming my people..."

"No matter who it is, I will have them cut into a thousand pieces!!!"

The anger in his chest caused Ying Zheng’s blood to surge; his expression was gloomy and filled with murderous intent.

Suddenly,

Ying Zheng felt his vision go black,

A surge of blood welled up from his heart,

Suddenly,

His expression became extremely pale and eerie,

Pfft!!!

A mouthful of blood,

Suddenly spurted out from Ying Zheng’s mouth!

A strong sense of dizziness washed over him, and Ying Zheng’s body went limp, falling backward!

"Your Majesty!!!"

Seeing Ying Zheng suddenly vomit blood and collapse, Zhang Han turned deathly pale in terror, exclaimed, stepped forward, and reached out to support him!

At the same time,

He shouted loudly!

"Call the imperial physician!"

"Quick, call the imperial physician!"

"Quick!!!"

Zhang Han’s exclamation echoed in the palace.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were scared out of their wits upon hearing Zhang Han’s shout.

They hurried to call the imperial physician.

Meanwhile.

Zhang Han supported Ying Zheng, walked toward the dragon bed, and laid Ying Zheng down.

Ying Zheng lay on the bed.

His face was pale.

There was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

It looked as if he had suffered a serious injury, appearing very frightening.

Zhang Han was terrified by this situation and quickly asked Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, how do you feel?!"

Ying Zheng felt the world spinning!

The blood in his body was surging!

He felt dizzy!

Even,

Black spots appeared before his eyes,

He felt extremely weak, as if all his physical strength had been drained away!

This feeling,

Made Ying Zheng quite uncomfortable,

After lying on the bed for a while to recover,

Ying Zheng finally caught his breath, and his breathing became steady.

Only.

The expression on his face.

Remained deathly pale, as if there was no blood left in him at all.

Then, at this moment,

A flurry of hurried footsteps sounded,

Soon,

The figures of several warlocks,

Walked into the palace and came to Ying Zheng’s bedside.

Seeing Ying Zheng lying on the bed, the warlocks all had grave and serious expressions.

"Quick, bring my immortal elixir..."

Ying Zheng, seeing the warlocks appear, felt a glimmer of light in his otherwise dim eyes, and spoke to them in a hoarse and difficult voice.

Upon hearing this, the warlocks immediately walked to the place in Ying Zheng’s palace where elixirs were kept and brought back a brocade box.

"Your Majesty, the immortal elixir is here..."

A warlock held the brocade box before Ying Zheng and opened it; inside were several red elixirs the size of longan fruit.

The warlock took out one of the red elixirs.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

He ordered someone to bring water for Ying Zheng.

Then,

He handed the elixir to Ying Zheng.

After receiving the elixir, Ying Zheng took a sip of water, put the elixir in his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed it with a frown.

Clearly,

The taste of this elixir was not very good.

The warlock watched Ying Zheng swallow the elixir; although no abnormality could be seen on his face.

Deep in his eyes, however, a strange, imperceptible light flashed.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Perhaps because he swallowed it too quickly, Ying Zheng coughed violently, scaring everyone present.

The palace maid hurriedly patted Ying Zheng’s back to help him breathe.

A moment later,

Ying Zheng caught his breath,

And the pale look on his face,
