Chapter 367

In the blink of an eye, Feng Quji emerged!

The moment he saw this man, he was stunned!

Because this man was indeed Meng Wu's deputy general!

"Visiting late at night, what is the purpose?"

Although Feng Quji's face showed no ripple, inside... his heart was churning like a stormy sea!

Combining today's court affairs, he vaguely had a bad premonition!

A premonition that something major was about to happen!

Sure enough, the moment the deputy general spoke, he struck Meng Wu like a thunderbolt!

"The victory report sent by General has reached Xianyang City; does the Prime Minister know?"

"What?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Feng Quji's head buzzed with a faint sound!

At this very moment, he finally confirmed that something major had happened!

That victory report was indeed sent by Meng Wu!

That means everything stated in the victory report is true!

Han Xin really annihilated three million Xiongnu!

Han Xin's great army now has only twenty thousand people left!

Similarly, Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao and others are also dead!

"This... this..."

In that moment, Feng Quji felt the world spinning around him!

But he was the Prime Minister after all; even with his heart churning like a stormy sea, he showed not a single ripple, and nodded toward the deputy general saying:

"I am already aware; where is Meng Wu's letter?"

"Right here!"

The deputy general quickly took out a piece of paper!

Feng Quji took several deep breaths before daring to open this letter!

After reading it, he took another deep breath, and finally asked the deputy general: "To whom have you delivered this kind of letter?"

The deputy general said: "General Meng Wu sent dozens of us to deliver letters; I am responsible for delivering the letter to the Prime Minister, while others have their own tasks!"

"General Meng Wu asked me to inform the Prime Minister that the rebellious son Ying Su gained the throne illegitimately and insulted the Emperor; we, as subjects, should be loyal to the country and help the First Emperor regain the imperial throne!"

"Hmm!"

Feng Quji nodded, then personally escorted this deputy general out of the residence!

But the moment the residence gate closed, he was trembling all over!

Disaster!

A calamity of the heavens!

161, Ying Su returns to court, Seeing Ying Zheng panics! All officials panic!

Inside Xianyang City!

Feng Quji's Prime Minister residence!

At this very moment, Feng Quji was shocked to the extreme!

Similarly, panicked to the extreme!

At this moment, he was simply numb to the scalp!

After a long while, he finally calmed down!

But looking at the letter in his hand, he couldn't help but wonder what he should do?

How exactly should he choose now?

Pick a side?

Which side should he stand on?

Seeing Ying Zheng?

Facing Ying Su?

Or perhaps all the nobles of the world?

It is too risky!

Whichever side is too risky!

Or perhaps sit on the fence?

Stand with neither side, just Zuobishangguan?

His head buzzed; at this very moment, he truly felt as if the sky was collapsing!

However, was it only him?

Tonight, Xianyang City was destined to be anything but peaceful?

The people sent by Meng Wu simply turned Xianyang City upside down.

Far too many people could not sleep soundly tonight.

Because... accompanying batches of messengers entering one noble residence after another.

Far too many people had already confirmed one fact!

That was... today's victory report is true!

The three million Xiongnu were truly killed by Han Xin!

And the deaths in battle of Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao!

Han Xin's great army suffered heavy losses; eighty thousand men died in a single battle!

Now, Ying Su has at most twenty thousand men under his command!

Moreover, these are twenty thousand men without Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao!

At this moment, Ying Su is absolutely at his weakest!

"How so?"

"How so?"

"What should be done?"

In the residence of Li Tan, the Great Qin Imperial Censor and Physician!

Wang Wan is here, deliberating with Li Tan!

"According to Meng Wu, he hopes we stir up trouble in Xianyang City first, while he intercepts Ying Su at Yan Sect Pass!"

"Once captured, he is to be sent directly to Xianyang City!"

"However... there is a prerequisite: we must make the first move!"

"Not to say we must control the entire Xianyang City first, but at the very least, we must push Ying Zheng onto the imperial throne!"

"This is to bind us together!"

Wang Wan spoke.

Li Tan nodded: "Indeed so, but I must say, this is truly a good method!"

"First, push Ying Zheng up, then, when Meng Wu returns, we force Ying Zheng to kill Ying Su, and then, through Ying Su's death, force Ying Zheng to implement the feudal system!"

"Once the feudal system is implemented, we jointly elevate Prince Fusu to the position of Crown Prince!"

"Even... if we are more ruthless, we can directly force Ying Zheng to abdicate; thus, the feudal system will become a done deal, and no one can stop it!"

As he spoke, he grew excited.

And who else was excited besides them?

Inside Xianyang City!

Many nobles, many court officials; they were all excited!

Unanimously, they actually began moving about in the dead of night!

Before long, many, many nobles and court officials gathered together!

They were all spreading Meng Wu's news of victory!

Telling each other that Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao were dead, and that Ying Su now had only twenty thousand men under his command!

As a result, in almost just one night, all the nobles throughout Xianyang City knew of this matter.

This matter was no longer any secret!
