Chapter 655

As the people below, they can believe in gods.

But as a ruler, one cannot.

………

Inside the Moon Goddess's palace.

Just as the Moon Goddess returned to her sleeping quarters, Xing Hun suddenly appeared before her.

"How did the plan go?"

The Moon Goddess glanced at Xing Hun indifferently, then asked.

"I have initially gained Prince Fusu's trust."

"In order not to arouse Made Ying Zheng's suspicion, I will not appear before Prince Fusu during this time."

Xing Hun said.

Hearing that Xing Hun had gained Prince Fusu's trust, the corners of the Moon Goddess's mouth curled up.

"Made Ying Zheng's body, can he really persist?"

Xing Hun suddenly asked.

He believed that Great Qin in Made Ying Zheng's hands could indeed exert ten percent of its power.

But with Made Ying Zheng's current body, he feared he wouldn't be able to last long.

If Made Ying Zheng suddenly passed away, wouldn't everything they had done so far be in vain?

What they wanted was Made Ying Zheng's ability to make Great Qin exert ten percent of its power.

"I will use Yin-Yang secret techniques to sustain Made Ying Zheng's life."

"At least ensure he doesn't die within five years."

The Moon Goddess suddenly spoke.

"Are you crazy? Why would you use five years of your own life to exchange for five years of his life?"

Xing Hun, who had been sitting calmly in the chair, stood up excitedly after hearing the Moon Goddess's words.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

It seemed as if the Moon Goddess was telling some heaven-defying cold joke.

And the Moon Goddess's gaze was looking at him calmly.

That pair of eyes seemed to be saying, that is exactly what I intend to do.

"Do you really want to use five years of your own life to exchange for five years of his life?"

"Why bother?"

Xing Hun spoke again.

His eyes carried a trace of incomprehension and surprise.

"If he lives, can he ensure that our Yin-Yang School will not be destroyed?"

The Moon Goddess slowly spoke.

She didn't intend to tell anyone about the scene she had foreseen.

But now it seemed she had to tell.

Xing Hun was slightly stunned after hearing the Moon Goddess's words.

"You..."

"Are you saying that you once foresaw the scene of the Yin-Yang School being destroyed?"

Xing Hun's understanding of the Moon Goddess allowed him to deduce the truth from the Moon Goddess's words.

And the Moon Goddess's calm face and eyes seemed to tell Xing Hun all the answers.

Xing Hun immediately understood why the Moon Goddess had suddenly let all the Yin-Yang School members withdraw from Xianyang City.

He had originally thought that those people were all former subordinates of Donghuang Taiyi, which was why they weren't trusted by the Moon Goddess.

Now it seemed that the Moon Goddess had let everyone withdraw from Xianyang City back then.

(Qiannuohao)　　What she was aiming for.

Was likely to preserve the entire Yin-Yang School.

"Who was the Yin-Yang School destroyed by?"

After hesitating for a while, Xing Hun finally asked this question.

With the current strength of the Yin-Yang School, it wasn't a faction that could be easily destroyed by just anyone.

And for the Moon Goddess to be so panicked, the strength of the opponent she saw in the vision must have been incomparably terrifying.

Xing Hun couldn't think of what kind of faction would make the Moon Goddess so panicked for a moment.

"It was a youth."

"A youth who uses a sword."

The Moon Goddess said slowly.

"Are you saying that he destroyed the entire Yin-Yang School by his own strength?"

Xing Hun asked back in disbelief.

The Moon Goddess beside him didn't remain silent this time, but nodded gently.

In the vision, that youth had indeed destroyed the entire Yin-Yang School by his own strength.

……

…….

296. Made Ying Zheng's examination, the new Prime Minister Xu Da! (Please subscribe!)

Ever since Xing Hun learned the truth from the Moon Goddess,

he returned to his sleeping quarters and fell into deep thought, not appearing before anyone for a long time.

The Moon Goddess also knew that this matter might have been too much of a blow to Xing Hun.

Upon learning of Xing Hun's movements, she only sighed gently.

She truly didn't have the time to continue going into seclusion or cultivating.

Whether it was seclusion or cultivation, both would consume a large amount of her time, but she could wait, yet the Yin-Yang School could not.

……

Inside Made Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters.

Ever since the Northwest drought was resolved, Made Ying Zheng's mood had improved significantly.

This led to his body also showing some signs of improvement.

Regarding this change, the expressions of the civil and military officials in the court were all different.

Some had mysterious looks on their faces, while others were full of joy.

Among them, the newly promoted Prime Minister Xu Da's expression was the most obvious.

As a powerful official who had climbed to his current position entirely through His Majesty's favor,

he naturally hoped that His Majesty could sit securely in that position.

Any change in His Majesty's physical condition would lead to changes in his own position as well.

Xu Da naturally didn't want his position to change after he had racked his brains to climb to such a high position.

"Your Majesty, the Northwest has returned to normal, and all the refugees are slowly returning to their homelands."

Xu Da said earnestly to Made Ying Zheng.

He had only climbed to the position of Prime Minister during this period; before, he had been in the court, belonging to the type that didn't reveal his true colors.

Before, there were Li Si and Feng Quji in the court, and he had always been hiding himself.

Just to avoid exposing himself to those two.

The court struggle was incomparably cruel; describing it as a bloodbath would not be an exaggeration.

However, this bloodbath was invisible.

"Hmm."

Regarding the Northwest matter, Made Ying Zheng had long since had his guesses.

So he was not surprised at all by this result.

"Someone, reward heavily."

"Confer the title of First-Rank State Preceptor upon the Moon Goddess, ten bolts of fine cotton, and one hundred taels of gold."
