Chapter 176: The capping ceremony is approaching

Gainie, as the chief fencing instructor of the palace, was valued by the Qin Wang, who granted him a residence.

When he finished his day's palace fencing teaching work and returned to his residence, it was already evening.

After returning to the residence, he first washed up.

Afterward, he changed into black clothes and sneaked out under the cover of night. As a confidant by the Qin Wang's side, every move he made was under the surveillance of others. If it were in the past, Gainie naturally would not care about this matter.

But the Han trip made him realize that the waters of the Qin Guo were deeper than he had imagined, and the people in the shadows were eyeing him like a tiger, looking for opportunities to strike at the Qin Wang at any time.

Therefore, he could not help but be cautious.

Especially, under the pressure of public opinion, Chancellor Lu Buwei had already agreed to the Qin Wang's capping ceremony. The capping ceremony was about to proceed. After the Qin Wang was officially capped "863", even Lu Buwei would probably not find it easy to continue to hold the reins of government; the main reason was that there was no suitable reason.

Even if he had held power over the Qin Guo for many years, the Qin Guo was ultimately different from the State of Han. By that time, if he chose to continue to hold the reins of government and refused to let go, the pressure of public opinion would be far from as simple as it was now.

Combined with the successive assassinations on the way back from the State of Han.

Therefore, if Lu Buwei truly did not want to give up the power in his hands, before the Qin Wang was capped would be his last opportunity.

He would definitely have some schemes.

Gainie's vigilance during this period had also been raised to an unprecedented level. Before going out this time, he carefully perceived and observed for a long time, and only after determining that there was no one around did he choose to go out.

After leaving the residence, Gainie wore black clothes that blended with the night and quickly headed toward the East City.

Finally, he arrived in front of a residential house, sneaked into the inner courtyard, and successfully arrived in front of a room.

The room was brightly lit, and through the window, two figures could be vaguely seen sitting opposite each other.

"Mr. Gainie, come in!"

A light voice came from inside and fell into Gainie's ears. Gainie raised his eyebrows, and he could not help but marvel at Su Xuan's perception ability. He had just arrived here, and the other party had sensed it.

It was truly powerful!

He pushed the door and entered, seeing Su Xuan and Yan Lingji sitting on both sides of the chessboard, holding chess pieces, seemingly playing chess.

Go is also known as the nineteen vertical and horizontal lines.

Gainie, as a descendant of the Guigu school, was also quite proficient in the way of chess.

Seeing Su Xuan playing chess with Yan Lingji, he clicked his tongue in wonder, and then stepped forward, preparing to give some pointers.

However, after he saw the content on the chessboard clearly, he was stunned again.

What is this being played?

It seemed it was not Go!

Su Xuan did not pay attention to Gainie's thoughts, placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, and suddenly, five pieces were connected in a line. He looked at Yan Lingji and said: "You lost!"

Yan Lingji pouted, somewhat unwilling, picked up the chess pieces, and prepared to play another game with Su Xuan.

Su Xuan used one hand to pick up the chess pieces with Yan Lingji, while asking Gainie beside him: "Did the Qin Wang send you here?"

Gainie was secretly pondering the rules of this kind of chess. Hearing Su Xuan's words, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "The Qin Wang's capping ceremony is imminent. To prevent sudden changes, he asked me to come here to request the Sir's help!"

Su Xuan had already helped Ying Zheng resolve several crises. For Ying Zheng, Su Xuan's means were miraculous and truly unheard of; he did not know how many surprises he had given him.

If the capping ceremony was successful, the general trend would be set.

However, since the people in the shadows had repeatedly intended to harm him, no one knew what other schemes the people in the shadows had before the capping ceremony. To prevent accidents, even though Ying Zheng had already made many preparations.

He still let Gainie come to inform Su Xuan and request Su Xuan's help, just to prevent trouble before it happened.

"I know. I will make a move when the time comes," Su Xuan said lightly to Gainie, his tone shifting again. "I also ask Mr. Gainie to help me convey to the Qin Wang that instead of guarding against Lu Buwei taking the opportunity to make trouble, it would be better to pay more attention to that Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai!"

Gainie heard the subtext in these words. He frowned slightly, then relaxed again.

The next day, in the palace.
