Chapter 707

When Xu Da finally regained consciousness, a wave of intense pain struck his body.

Opening his eyes, he saw his subordinate standing beside him and his wife with a worried face.

"Master, how are you?"

"My lord, are you alright?"

Seeing Xu Da wake up, both of their faces showed worried expressions.

"I didn't die?"

A hint of daze flashed in Xu Da's eyes.

He clearly remembered that the assassin's moves that night were all fatal.

Later, it seemed a mysterious person appeared and saved him.

Who was that mysterious person? Why did they choose to save him?

"This morning, the subordinate found you in the study, along with a corpse."

The subordinate detailed everything that happened this morning.

Xu Da's wife was still there crying.

"Step back, the noise is giving me a headache."

Xu Da glared at the woman in annoyance.

What he hated most was women crying and wailing beside him.

Xu Da's wife, scolded by Xu Da, didn't dare to cry anymore.

"Master, don't be angry, I won't cry anymore."

"You rest first, I'll go boil some soup for you to nourish yourself."

Xu Da's wife wiped the tears from her cheeks and said timidly.

Xu Da closed his eyes slightly and nodded impatiently.

Only after his wife left did the room fall into silence again.

"Have you examined that corpse?"

Xu Da then looked at the subordinate beside him again.

"I have, the corpse was very clean, there was nothing on it."

"But there was a special mark on the corpse's arm."

"The subordinate has already had people identify it; it is indeed a death soldier of the Liusha Organization."

The subordinate recounted everything he had done while Xu Da was in a coma.

After listening, Xu Da nodded secretly.

He had naturally heard of the Liusha Organization.

This was an assassination faction that walked in the darkness.

They only looked at money, not people; no matter who it was, as long as the price was paid, they could buy a life.

And the Liusha Organization had one benefit: they would never reveal the identity of their employer.

So, most of the time, they were a knife in the officialdom.

Many officials had died inexplicably at the hands of the Liusha Organization.

Xu Da hadn't expected that one day, he would also become one of the targets on the Liusha Organization's hunting list.

In this imperial court, in order to climb up, he had offended quite a few people.

But the degree of this shouldn't have been enough for those people to want him dead, right?

"Tell me, who could have bribed the Liusha Organization to take my life?"

A hint of suspicion appeared in Xu Da's eyes, and several candidates appeared in his mind.

"The subordinate thinks this matter might have some connection to Fu Nian."

"My lord, don't forget that Fu Nian previously tried to beg Young Master Prince Fusu, and it was precisely because of you that he didn't succeed."

The subordinate reminded him.

When he mentioned this, a hint of realization immediately flashed in Xu Da's eyes.

That's right.

If he had to say who he had offended the most severely during this period, it would have to be Fu Nian.

He really hadn't expected this guy to choose to bribe the Liusha Organization to take his life.

Didn't he know that if he died, the greatest suspicion would likely fall on him?

Didn't Fu Nian value his reputation the most? Why would he do such a thing?

"Is this a case of a dog jumping over a wall in desperation?"

Xu Da's eyes turned slightly cold.

For himself, he actually didn't want to offend Fu Nian.

But Fu Nian had actually attempted to have Young Master Prince Fusu plead with His Majesty.

At such a critical moment, no matter who mentioned this matter before His Majesty, they wouldn't get a good result.

If he were Fu Nian, he would have to abandon the chariot to save the commander, completely abandoning Zhu.

Perhaps only in this way could they win a glimmer of survival for their Confucian school.

"Good."

"Very good."

"One day, I will also make their Confucian school pay the price they deserve."

A cold smile slowly appeared on Xu Da's face.

Now, all the conclusions were just things they had inferred.

If he could find evidence, he could resolve Fu Nian completely without any effort.

But the Liusha Organization's confidentiality level for employers was very high, so he couldn't find evidence that Fu Nian had bribed them.

But this didn't mean he would let this matter go.

After all, no one liked the feeling of having passed before death.

Xu Da pressed this matter deep into his heart, waiting for the day he could pay Fu Nian back heavily.

…………

Inside the Mohist Mechanical City.

Ever since resolving Da Tiechui and Xue Nu, Hearing Ying Mo's small boat moved forward slowly, not encountering any more traps.

Lu Li, who was completely unaware of this, remained vigilant along the way.

The small boat glided past steep rock walls, and Lu Li's eyes scanned them constantly.

He was afraid that some people with ulterior motives were hidden among these rocks.

In fact, there were indeed some people hidden within these rocks.

However, these Mohists hidden within the rocks had long since received the news.

Do not interfere with this boat; let them enter the interior of the Mohist Mechanical City directly.

They had heard about what happened ahead, so they all held their breath.

This was to prevent the person on the boat from discovering them.

The subordinate behind didn't make any moves, but the small boat still drifted quietly forward.

Until there was no more waterway ahead, and a huge cave square appeared.

Hearing Ying Mo got off the boat, and Lu Li continued to follow behind Hearing Ying Mo.

"…Young Master, let this subordinate go first."

Seeing Hearing Ying Mo preparing to lift his foot and walk forward, Lu Li came before Hearing Ying Mo.

Looking at the nervous Lu Li, a faint smile appeared on Hearing Ying Mo's face.

"No matter."

Hearing Ying Mo clearly knew the strength of these people in the Mohist Mechanical City.

If he had to say who among these people could cause him trouble, it would perhaps only be the Mohist Leader.

But that would only cause trouble, completely insufficient for him to take to heart.

If the Mohist Leader was unwilling to take action, no matter who appeared before him, they would not become a factor blocking their advance.

Seeing the smile on Hearing Ying Mo's face, Lu Li seemed to feel Hearing Ying Mo's strength. ===== CHAPTER 709 =====
