Chapter 117: The night is deep, the visitor is not kind!

"Su Xuan?"

Lü Lu Buwei clearly had never heard of this person.

Donghuang Taiyi continued, "This person first appeared in the Han state, once calling the wind and summoning the rain for the King of Han, and was revered by him as an Immortal Master. Later, the King of Han died unexpectedly, and he was identified as the murderer who plotted against the King of Han, disappearing for a time..."

"Earlier, the King of Qin had privately left Xianyang to go to Xinzheng; it must have been at that time that he had an intersection with this person. This person defected to the King of Qin and resolved several crises for him..."

Donghuang Taiyi seemed to have special intelligence channels, recounting the matters of Su Xuan. However, he did not know everything comprehensively, but he could be considered to have stated Su Xuan’s origins.

Hearing Donghuang Taiyi’s words, Lü Lu Buwei’s gaze became intense.

That day, he had sent Xuan Xuan Jian to Xinzheng to carry out the mission of assassinating Ying Zheng, but it had failed.

Since no news had been sent back from Xuan Xuan Jian, he was clearly dead.

Lü Lu Buwei knew Xuan Xuan Jian’s strength very well. He controlled the Net, and he knew better than anyone which experts were in the Net. When Cheng Jiao had rebelled, it was Xuan Xuan Jian who had taken action and killed Cheng Jiao.

Relying solely on Gai Nie by Ying Zheng’s side, it was clearly impossible to contend with Xuan Xuan Jian.

This could only mean that someone had interfered, helping Ying Zheng, which allowed him to escape Xuan Xuan Jian’s assassination.

And then there was the matter of Wang Yi.

The letter Lü Lu Buwei gave to Wang Yi did not explicitly tell Wang Yi to kill Ying Zheng, but he had hinted in the letter that he was also dissatisfied with Ying Zheng.

Wang Yi was a former subordinate of Bai Qi. Because of Bai Qi’s death, he had long harbored resentment toward the King of Qin. The hatred accumulated over many years only needed a little provocation to become a sharp blade.

As a result, Wang Yi had also changed his mind.

And there was the Lao Ai affair; Ying Zheng had been prepared long ago, which also exceeded Lü Lu Buwei’s expectations.

During the rebellion in Yongcheng that day, although he was in the ancestral temple, he had heard about the events that occurred on the way from Qinian Palace to the ancestral temple. Ying Zheng had encountered an ambush by Lao Ai, but first, two flying swords had crossed the sky, taking the lives of many death-sworn men, and then a man in green robes had flown through the air, killing Lao Ai with a flick of his finger.

"So, it was you who ruined my good deeds!"

Lü Lu Buwei learned the truth from Donghuang Taiyi and could not help but mutter to himself in his heart. He attributed all his failures to Su Xuan.

Afterward, he looked at Donghuang Taiyi in front of him and said, "You told me this; what do you want to gain?"

To take, one must first give!

The secret revealed by Donghuang Taiyi could be considered an extremely important matter; he must have some ulterior motive.

Donghuang Taiyi’s response exceeded Lü Lu Buwei’s expectations. "For many years, the Prime Minister has helped my Yin-Yang School a lot. Being able to share the Prime Minister’s worries is enough; how could I ask for anything more!"

After saying this, Donghuang Taiyi had no intention of staying here long.

Quietly, he left.

Upon leaving Lü Lu Buwei’s residence, he stood on a rooftop, his wide robes fluttering gently in the night wind. A low voice came from his mouth, "What this seat wants, you can no longer give..."

Since Zou Yan assisted King Zhao of Yan, the Yin-Yang School had once reached its peak. Unfortunately, after King Zhao of Yan died, the Yin-Yang School declined along with it. Until now, when Donghuang Taiyi became the leader of the Yin-Yang School, in order to realize his ambitions and to make the Yin-Yang School flourish again, he defected to the Qin state.

At that time, the Qin state was governed by Lü Lu Buwei, and Lü Lu Buwei did indeed accept them. Unfortunately, Lü Lu Buwei intended to establish his own school, combining the strengths of the Hundred Schools, and creating the "Miscellaneous School." He had no reliance on the Yin-Yang School’s methods.

For many years, although the Yin-Yang School had gained some benefits with Lü Lu Buwei’s help, it had been unable to formally establish itself in the Qin state, let alone develop and grow to be mentioned in the same breath as that school hidden in Mount Taiyi, the main peak of the Southern Mountains.

Thus, Donghuang Taiyi had to look for another way out.

The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had always had ambitions, but due to various restrictions, his ambitions had no chance to be realized. At this time, if the Yin-Yang School extended a helping hand to him, for the King of Qin who was already in a predicament, it would undoubtedly be like sending charcoal in snowy weather. The Yin-Yang School would become a strong support he relied on, and when Ying Zheng truly assumed personal rule and took control of the Qin state’s war chariot, the Yin-Yang School could also take the opportunity to get everything it wanted from the Qin state.

As for why Donghuang Taiyi knew so clearly about the Han state affair.

Naturally, it was because he had also gone to the Han state that day, preparing to secretly help Ying Zheng, but unfortunately, there was no place for him to use his skills.

The Yin-Yang School’s investment in Ying Zheng was not just the battle in Yongcheng; it was even earlier...

"Su Xuan!"

Donghuang Taiyi could not help but softly mutter this name, his tone extremely complex.

Su Xuan had ruined the Yin-Yang School’s plans several times; he truly did not know how to treat Su Xuan!

In his eyes, a playful intent flashed and disappeared.

……

Although Lü Lu Buwei had returned power to Ying Zheng.

It was not that everything had been handed over to Ying Zheng. In his hands, there was still a powerful force that had not been handed over to Ying Zheng, its name—"The Net"!

A net covering the sky and earth, penetrating every hole.

In other countries, the power of the Net might not be as strong as imagined, but the Qin state was different. After many years of operation, the Net had long since managed the Qin state like an iron plate.

Earlier, Lü Lu Buwei did not know Su Xuan’s origins.

After Donghuang Taiyi’s hint, he knew who had ruined his good deeds, and then he let the Net investigate.

Finally, through Gai Nie’s tracks, he determined Su Xuan’s location in Xianyang.

And then, it was Lü Lu Buwei’s revenge.

The night was deep.

In the room, Su Xuan was once again playing Go with Yan Yan Lingji.

After a period of progress, Yan Yan Lingji’s chess skills had improved by leaps and bounds. Now, Su Xuan found it somewhat difficult to cope with her offensive. Fortunately, he was not a person with a strong desire to win or lose; a mere game of Go, if he lost, he lost, it was nothing remarkable.

"Hmm?"

Su Xuan raised his eyebrows and hummed.

Yan Yan Lingji looked at Su Xuan with a smile, "What, has this move stumped you?"

Previously, she had made a brilliant move, and she had even thought through the subsequent steps, preparing to watch Su Xuan make a fool of himself. If Su Xuan moved incorrectly, she would definitely win this game.

Su Xuan said softly, "Someone is coming."

Seeing that Yan Yan Lingji did not understand his meaning, he added, "The visitor is not kind!"
