Chapter 644

"... Give him a proper burial."

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the corpse of the small eunuch lying on the ground.

Prince Fusu sighed with regret.

If this small eunuch had not followed him out, he was afraid he would not have died here tonight.

Prince Fusu could only give a casual order to the Imperial Guards beside him.

Not until he left did Xing Hun's figure slowly appear on a treetop.

Looking at Prince Fusu's back, a triumphant smile appeared on Xing Hun's face.

Tonight's plan had already succeeded by at least eighty percent.

As for the remaining twenty percent, it depended on how he would gain Prince Fusu's trust step by step.

………

The occurrence of an assassination in Xianyanggong naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of spies.

Early the next morning, Hearing Ying Mo received the news on his side.

"Young Master, an assassination occurred in Xianyanggong last night. Young Master Prince Fusu was assassinated by assassins within the palace."

The first time Lu Li received the news, she reported this information to Hearing Ying Mo.

When Hearing Ying Mo learned the news, he was slightly surprised.

"When Ying Zheng left, didn't he leave Watching Zhang Han behind?"

Hearing Ying Mo asked.

How could assassins appear in the palace when Watching Zhang Han was there?

"Watching Zhang Han seems to have been sent out by Prince Fusu; it seems he headed to the Northwest Territory."

Lu Li said.

Speaking of this, Hearing Ying Mo nodded gently.

If Watching Zhang Han were still in the palace, the entire palace should be under his control.

It would be absolutely impossible for assassins to enter the palace.

Unless the strength of these assassins was like those experts from before.

But in the entire Jianghu, there were only so many experts.

How could they appear frequently in the palace?

"Have you found out who made the move?"

Hearing Ying Mo then asked again.

"Found out."

"It seems to have some connection with the Yin-Yang Sect."

Lu Li said.

……

Hearing Ying Mo looked sideways.

Lu Li immediately understood Hearing Ying Mo's meaning.

Then she opened her mouth to explain the whole matter in detail.

"Last night, Prince Fusu encountered an assassination by assassins, but he did not suffer any major harm."

"State Preceptor Xing Hun appeared and saved Prince Fusu."

"And after the Heavenly Secret Pavilion received the news, it immediately investigated the identities of those men in black."

"But it discovered that these men in black were just an ordinary assassination organization in the Jianghu."

"Then, after a careful investigation, it discovered that these people seemed to have had contact with the Yin-Yang Sect."

Lu Li said everything she knew.

After Hearing Ying Mo learned the news, his brows twitched.

The Yin-Yang Sect?

If he remembered correctly, Xing Hun was also from the Yin-Yang Sect.

Could it be that this entire play was self-directed and self-acted by the Yin-Yang Sect?

"Let the people of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion keep a close watch on that place, especially the Yin-Yang Sect."

Hearing Ying Mo said.

He seemed to feel a little something wrong in this matter.

Watching Zhang Han's departure.

The Yin-Yang Sect hiring killers.

Xing Hun then taking action to kill all those men in black.

Connecting these things together, it always gave off a flavor of conspiracy.

It was just that he did not know what Xing Hun and the Yin-Yang Sect actually wanted to do.

"Yes."

Lu Li immediately nodded and then passed the news down.

"How much longer until we reach Zhong Shan?"

Subsequently, Hearing Ying Mo looked at Lu Li again.

Lu Li took out the map in her hand, studied it carefully for a while, and then looked up and said,

"Young Master, if there are no surprises, we should be able to reach the borders of Zhong Shan by tomorrow."

Lu Li said.

…………

And while they were on their way, Ying Zheng had already been fasting for a whole day.

When the sky was still just beginning to brighten, Ying Zheng was already dressed in grand attire, leading the civil and military officials, heading toward Zhong Shan in a grand procession.

Zhong Shan was tall and towering.

The carriages were advancing somewhat arduously on the mountain road.

Ying Zheng, sitting in the carriage, felt the journey was exceptionally bumpy.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, all the carriages suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the location; we need to proceed on foot for the rest of the journey."

Eunuch Zhuo said outside the carriage.

Ying Zheng naturally knew this as well; he opened the curtain and walked down from the carriage.

Looking at the rugged mountain road, Ying Zheng raised his head and looked toward the top of Zhong Shan.

The dense forest blocked the situation ahead tightly.

All the civil and military officials got off their carriages one after another and followed behind Ying Zheng.

According to the rules of ancestral sacrifice, they had to get off the carriage at the middle of Zhong Shan and then walk to the top of the mountain.

Only in this way could the God of Zhong Shan feel their sincerity.

After all the officials were prepared, Ying Zheng began to lead all the officials to climb toward the top of the mountain.

At the beginning, Ying Zheng felt it was alright, and his body could still handle it.

But after climbing for a longer time, Ying Zheng's body slowly could not bear the load.

He felt a bit dizzy, short of breath, and even his legs were a bit weak.

Eunuch Zhuo naturally saw the abnormality of His Majesty and had already used his entire body as His Majesty's walking stick.

Ying Zheng's entire body was pressing heavily on Eunuch Zhuo's body.

But even so, his breathing was still exceptionally heavy.

"Looking at His Majesty like this, he wouldn't be planning to give up, would he?"

"That won't do; walking up the mountain is a rule left by the ancestors."

"If the rules left by the ancestors are easily broken, it will attract the disgust of the gods."

"The God of Zhong Shan won't give up on bringing rain to the Northwest Territory because of His Majesty, will he?"
