Chapter 642

~6 min read 1,166 words

Seeing Watching Zhang Han, Prince Fusu suddenly smiled.

Although he truly had no capable men under his command at this stage, he had the great general his Imperial Father had left for him.

The number of capable men under Watching Zhang Han was far greater than his own.

After all, Watching Zhang Han was in charge of a faction by his Imperial Father's side.

It was precisely because of this that Prince Fusu was exceptionally respectful toward Watching Zhang Han.

After all, as long as he could win over Watching Zhang Han, his position would be much more secure.

283. Heading to Zhong Shan, zither music in the dead of night! (Please subscribe!)

Ever since Hearing Ying Mo had thoroughly resolved the Xiongnu,

he had gotten thoroughly drunk for three full days in the place where the Annan Army was stationed.

For those three days, he drank wine every day and spoke with the brothers on the ground.

Not until the morning of the third day did he stand up with clear eyes and return to his courtyard.

These three days were his indulgence.

Yuan Yuan Zuozong and Lu Li had been staying in the courtyard waiting for Hearing Ying Mo.

Because without Hearing Ying Mo's order, they could not easily approach that place.

"How is the situation over at Ying Zheng's side?"

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Hearing Ying Mo asked casually.

Seeing Hearing Ying Mo return, a faint smile immediately appeared on Lu Li's face.

She then heard Hearing Ying Mo's question.

"Reporting to Young Master, Ying Zheng arrived at Zhong Shan as early as yesterday."

Regarding the dynamics around Ying Zheng and in Xianyang City,

Lu Li paid very close attention.

Even if she was not in those places, the news was exceptionally well-informed.

Hearing Ying Mo had not expected Ying Zheng and his group to be so slow, arriving at Zhong Shan only yesterday.

"Then have they started the prayer ceremony today?"

Hearing Ying Mo's brows twitched; he wanted to see for himself how this prayer ceremony was actually held.

This was the first time he would be able to see such a large-scale sacrificial ceremony.

He had always had some doubts about the Moon Goddess's abilities.

That was the reason he was so eager to know if the prayer ceremony could succeed.

If the prayer ceremony could succeed, it would mean that the Moon Goddess truly possessed the ability to predict the future.

And what he needed was precisely this ability.

"Young Master, the prayer ceremony should start tomorrow, and the entire ceremony will last for three days."

Lu Li said.

"Pack up, we are leaving immediately for Zhong Shan."

Hearing Ying Mo ordered.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how this ceremony would succeed.

"Yuan Yuan Zuozong, you go to the Northwest personally; if there is truly rain from the heavens in the Northwest, report it to me immediately."

Hearing Ying Mo then turned his head to look at Yuan Yuan Zuozong, who was standing to the side.

After receiving Hearing Ying Mo's order, Yuan Yuan Zuozong immediately responded.

"Yes."

…………

Inside the imperial palace of Xianyang City.

Xing Hun had been looking for an opportunity to approach Prince Fusu, but discovered that Watching Zhang Han was always following Prince Fusu.

He naturally knew who Watching Zhang Han was; being able to follow by Ying Zheng's side meant he was no simple person.

And Watching Zhang Han's presence made Xing Hun somewhat wary, so he had not appeared by Prince Fusu's side.

But today, he suddenly received news that Watching Zhang Han seemed to have left the palace on business.

Xing Hun's eyes immediately lit up; he had finally waited for his chance.

"Begin the operation."

Xing Hun said to the people under his command.

Although the Moon Goddess had already expelled the entire Yin-Yang School from Xianyang City, forbidding them from appearing within it,

in order to complete this plan, Xing Hun had still called back a portion of the Yin-Yang School.

After all, whether this plan could succeed would determine their status in the eyes of the next Emperor of Great Qin.

"Lord Xing Hun, rest assured, this matter will definitely be handled perfectly."

The man in black said confidently, then vanished from before Xing Hun in an instant.

The plan began, and Xing Hun did not dare to delay.

On the other side.

After Prince Fusu had finished handling some government affairs for the time being, he rubbed his brow.

General Watching Zhang Han had left the palace today to handle the Northwest matter.

Prince Fusu trusted General Watching Zhang Han very much.

It was now the dead of night.

Prince Fusu, who was just preparing to retire for the night, suddenly heard a beautiful piece of music drifting in from outside.

It was a melodious sound of a zither.

Just by listening to the sound, one could tell that the person playing was highly skilled.

"Truly like high mountains and flowing water."

Prince Fusu could not help but exclaim in admiration.

He could not help but open the door and walk outside.

The young eunuch at the door of the inner courtyard saw the Young Master come out and followed closely behind him.

This young eunuch did not dare to persuade Prince Fusu otherwise and could only follow him closely.

Prince Fusu walked forward while listening.

He wanted to see who in this imperial palace had such skill to play such beautiful zither music.

"Young Master, we should go back and rest early."

The young eunuch said from behind.

"What are you panicking about? Could there be any danger in this imperial palace?"

Prince Fusu glared at the young eunuch with some dissatisfaction.

He felt that this young eunuch was somewhat overly timid.

"I……"

Having received a reprimand from Young Master Prince Fusu, the young eunuch only murmured a word and shut his mouth.

Prince Fusu turned his head and continued to walk toward the location where the zither music was coming from.

Just as the two were about to pass a corner, several men in black suddenly flew out from atop the wall.

The long swords in the hands of the men in black stabbed directly toward Prince Fusu's neck.

Prince Fusu had not expected that there would be assassins in the imperial palace.

Although he was somewhat panicked for a moment, his physical movements were not slow.

He directly used the force of the nearby wall to lunge backward, dodging this attack.

The young eunuch by his side did not have such good luck and was directly pierced through the chest by a sword from a man in black.

The young eunuch's miserable scream seemed to bring Prince Fusu back to his senses from his earlier panic.

"Who are you people, daring to commit assassination in the imperial palace!"

His brows furrowed, and he tried his best to show a look of seriousness on his face.
