Chapter 1139

But listening to Su Xuan's words, it seemed there were other twists.

Su Xuan said calmly, "Li Tonggu is no ordinary person. He abandoned the eldest young master Fu Su and chose Young Master Eighteen Hu Hai. Hu Hai is not the eldest son, yet Li Tonggu still supports him; he must have his own ways to help Hu Hai onto the position of Crown Prince. This time, His Majesty changed his usual behavior and appointed Fu Su as the supervising official; he is very likely to see the clues and subsequently make a response."

"Oh? What kind of response?"

Su Xuan said softly, "According to what I know, the wind in the northern lands is very boisterous!"

Seeing Ying Zheng and Su Xuan had been together for many years and had great tacit understanding; with one sentence, he understood the meaning contained in Su Xuan's words.

"You mean, they might make a move against Fu Su in the northern lands? How dare they?"

Seeing Ying Zheng appeared somewhat angry.

"I cannot speak for others, but for them, having such audacity is not surprising."

Seeing Ying Zheng fell silent.

That was right. According to what Gao Yao said, Li Si, Hu Hai, and others even dared to tamper with his last will, and even harmed Meng Tian and Fu Su, forcibly pushing Hu Hai onto the imperial throne. If they dared to do such rebellious things, what did harming Fu Su count for?

In any case, Fu Su had gone to the northern lands, where the situation was complex; no one could say for sure whether Fu Su would meet with an accident.

"This time might be an opportunity!"

"An opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!"

Su Xuan spoke again.

Seeing Ying Zheng understood Su Xuan's meaning.

The so-called killing two birds with one stone referred to using this opportunity to end the bipolar opposition within the court while simultaneously completely resolving the hidden dangers of Li Si and Hu Hai.

Since Seeing Ying Zheng had already replaced the Qin Emperor of this world and had learned of future events from Gao Yao.

Then naturally, he would not let Great Qin perish in the second generation.

According to what Su Xuan said, in a few years, a heavenly star would descend to the world, and that heavenly star could be refined into an elixir of immortality.

If nothing unexpected happened, after the heavenly star descended, it would also be time for him and Su Xuan to return.

Now, there was still some time until then.

What Seeing Ying Zheng needed to do was to resolve all future troubles.

Naming Fu Su as Crown Prince and cultivating him into a qualified successor was one of them.

Eliminating the group of Hu Hai and Li Si was the second.

The idle talk in the Zhangtai Palace ended, and some time passed.

Yi Xiaochuan put on his armor, and under Meng Tian's gaze, he officially led the army and embarked on the expedition to Tu'an. Wang Li, Fu Su, and others followed him as he left.

Not long after the army left, another group of mysterious people secretly left Xianyang.

These mysterious people did not notice that behind them, another group of people was following them, watching them in the dark.
