Chapter 645

………

Whispers sounded one after another behind him.

Although Ying Zheng could not hear them very clearly, he could still hear the gist of it.

Upon hearing the civil and military officials discussing like this behind him, his expression immediately turned gloomy.

Eunuch Zhuo, who had been following by Ying Zheng's side, naturally also heard the commotion behind him.

He looked up slightly at Ying Zheng's expression and discovered that His Majesty's expression was already as gloomy as water.

Hardening his heart, Eunuch Zhuo spoke directly to those behind him.

"Lord Liu, since your body is aged and you cannot support yourself, then take a rest for a while. I believe His Majesty will certainly sympathize with you."

Eunuch Zhuo's gaze was fixed tightly on an aged old official behind Ying Zheng.

This person called Lord Liu, upon hearing Eunuch Zhuo speaking to him, just wanted to refuse.

He looked up and met Ying Zheng's eyes.

An extreme sense of oppression appeared on his body.

Lord Liu, who had felt fine just before, instantly felt a bit heavy.

It seemed that taking one step forward was like carrying a ten-million-jin heavy stone.

Lord Liu was terrified in his heart and immediately understood His Majesty's meaning.

But a hint of struggle immediately flashed in his eyes.

He had naturally heard the conversation of these colleagues before.

If he really followed the trend and agreed at this time, he was afraid he would not get any good among these colleagues.

But if he just refused Eunuch Zhuo like this, it was obvious that the entire team would still continue to advance.

Then would His Majesty's anger be vented on him?

Lord Liu's expression was extremely ugly for a moment.

His lowered gaze was full of resentment, and this resentment was directed precisely at Eunuch Zhuo in front of him.

"Since Lord Liu's body is aged, then take a rest for a while."

Ying Zheng spoke, his low voice echoing in everyone's ears.

And those officials naturally also saw Ying Zheng's eyes just now; at this time, who would dare to open their mouths to say another word?

They lowered their heads one after another, responded, and then randomly found a spot to start resting.

Although their bodies were not as weak as Ying Zheng's, they had long since been unable to support themselves.

But having walked for so long, they were still a bit tired.

After all, most of these officials lived in luxury; when had they ever suffered such hardship?

"Your Majesty, can you still persist?"

Eunuch Zhuo looked at Ying Zheng with some worry.

It was truly because His Majesty's entire body was almost pressing on him just now.

And he had completely relied on his own strength to walk a short distance slowly.

Looking at the mountain top where the road ahead still could not be seen, Eunuch Zhuo felt some anxiety for a moment.

He was a bit worried about whether he could bring His Majesty to the top of the mountain.

Ying Zheng's expression was as gloomy as water.

If it were before, he would not even be out of breath walking from the foot of the mountain to the top.

But ever since his body was thoroughly hollowed out by those elixirs,

he no longer had such physical strength.

When the prayer ceremony was held at that time, he had also considered these things.

But the will of the ten thousand people was truly too strong.

And he also knew how great the benefits could be after this matter.

So he could only nod and agree.

Ying Zheng did not answer the small eunuch's words.

Because he was also pondering in his mind how to resolve the following matters.

They had not even walked half the distance, and he was already unable to support himself.

The road ahead would only be longer.

286. Deterrence, Thunderous Means! (Please subscribe!)

During this period, Ying Mo hurried along and finally arrived at the borders of Zhong Shan.

Just as he approached Zhong Shan, he discovered that the entire Zhong Shan was heavily guarded.

A large number of government troops had already surrounded the entire Zhong Shan.

Within ten miles of Zhong Shan, there was not a single idler appearing inside.

"Young Master, Ying Zheng should have already gone up the mountain."

Lu Li said affirmatively.

According to the process on Ying Zheng's side, they should be climbing up the mountain now.

Lu Li had long since figured out the entire process of Ying Zheng's prayer ceremony.

After Ying Mo nodded, he passed through the heavily guarded guards outside as if entering an uninhabited land.

Then he moved quickly toward the top of Zhong Shan.

Lu Li followed closely behind Ying Mo.

It was only half a stick of incense's time before he saw the figure of Ying Zheng's large army.

Looking at these people below, they were sitting cross-legged on the stones resting.

Ying Mo flashed a few times, his figure changing positions quickly on the treetops.

Soon he appeared at the front of the team and had already seen Ying Zheng's location.

Ying Zheng was sitting in front with a gloomy face.

Looking at Ying Zheng's gloomy face at this moment, Ying Mo's brows furrowed slightly.

Obviously, something must have happened just now.

Otherwise, Ying Zheng's expression would not be so ugly.

But obviously, now in public, he could not investigate what had happened just now at all.

Ying Mo hid quietly in the tree, waiting for the team to continue moving forward.

While observing the entire team, he also saw the Moon Goddess sitting not far from Ying Zheng's side.

That woman was still wearing a veil, hiding her entire face under the light gauze.

Her graceful figure, even wearing complex State Preceptor ceremonial robes, could still not be blocked.

Seeming to perceive that someone was watching her, this woman suddenly opened her eyes.

But her strength was not as high as Ying Mo's, so she could not immediately lock onto Ying Mo's position.

"Good perception."

The corners of Ying Mo's mouth suddenly curled up, and then he sighed gently.

Lu Li beside him heard Ying Mo's praise for this woman, and her eyes flickered.

An inexplicable emotion appeared in her eyes.

The Moon Goddess had originally been closing her eyes to rest.

Suddenly, she felt as if she were being watched by some terrifying existence.

A feeling like needles on her back made her wake up immediately.

She looked around today, but discovered that there was not a single place with any abnormality to be found in the surroundings.

The Moon Goddess's brows immediately furrowed.

She did not think that the feeling just now was an illusion.

Since she did not discover any abnormality, it could only mean one thing.

The person who had been staring at her just now had strength far superior to hers.
