Chapter 195: The night is deep, the visitor is ill-intentioned!

"Su Xuan?"

Lü Buwei clearly had not heard of this person.

Donghuang Taiyi continued, "This person first appeared in Han Guo, once calling the wind and rain for the King of Han, and was honored by him as an Immortal Master. Later, the King of Han died unexpectedly, and he was identified as the culprit who murdered 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 crossed paths with this person. This person pledged allegiance to the King of Qin and resolved several crises for him..."

Donghuang Taiyi seemed to have special intelligence channels, recounting the affairs of Su Xuan. However, he ultimately did not know everything comprehensively, but it could be considered that he had revealed Su Xuan's background.

Hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, Lü Buwei's eyes narrowed.

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

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

Lü Buwei knew Xuan Jian's strength very well. He controlled the Luo Wang, so he knew better than anyone which experts were in the Luo Wang. When Cheng Jiao rebelled, it was Xuan Jian who had personally killed Cheng Jiao.

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

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

And then, the Wang Yi affair.

The letter Lü Buwei gave to Wang Yi did not explicitly state that Wang Yi should kill Ying Zheng, but he had hinted in the letter that he also harbored dissatisfaction 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 also changed his mind.

And there was the Lao Ai affair, for which Ying Zheng had long been prepared, which also exceeded Lü Buwei's expectations.

During the Yongcheng rebellion that day, although he was in the Ancestral Temple, he had heard about what happened on the way from Qinian Palace to the Ancestral Temple. Ying Zheng had encountered an ambush by Lao Ai, but first, two flying swords appeared in the sky, taking the lives of many death-sworn soldiers, and then a man in green robes flew through the air, killing Lao Ai with a flick of his finger.

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

Lü 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 before 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 Buwei's expectations, "For many years, you have helped my Yin-Yang School a lot. Being able to share your worries is enough; how could I ask for anything more!"

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

Quietly, he left this place.

Leaving Lü Buwei's mansion, he stood on a rooftop, his wide robes fluttering gently in the night wind. A low voice came from his mouth, "What I want, you can no longer give..."

Since Zou Yan assisted King King Zhaowang of Yan, the Yin-Yang School had once achieved prosperity. Unfortunately, after King King Zhaowang of Yan died, the Yin-Yang School declined along with him. Until now, when Donghuang Taiyi became the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, in order to realize his ambition and to make the Yin-Yang School prosperous again, he pledged allegiance to Qin Guo.

At that time, Qin Guo was governed by Lü Buwei, and Lü Buwei did indeed accept them. Unfortunately, Lü Buwei intended to start his own school, combining the strengths of the Hundred Schools to create the "Miscellaneous School," and had no reliance on the Yin-Yang School's ways.

For many years, although the Yin-Yang School had gained some benefits with Lü Buwei's help, it had been unable to formally establish itself in Qin Guo, 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 find another way out.

The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had always had ambition, but due to various restrictions, he had no opportunity to realize it. At this time, if the Yin-Yang School offered him a helping hand, for the King of Qin, who was already in a predicament, it would undoubtedly be like sending charcoal in snow. 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 chariot that was Qin Guo, the Yin-Yang School could take the opportunity to get everything it wanted from Qin Guo.

As for why Donghuang Taiyi knew so much about the Han Guo affair.

Naturally, it was because he had also gone to Han Guo 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 at Yongcheng, but even earlier...

"Su Xuan!"

Donghuang Taiyi could not help but whisper 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 look of intrigue flashed by.

Although Lü 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—"Luo Wang"!

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

In other countries, the power of the Luo Wang might not be as strong as imagined, but Qin Guo was different. After years of operation, the Luo Wang had long since turned Qin Guo into an iron plate.

Earlier, Lü Buwei did not know Su Xuan's background.

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

Finally, through Gai Nie's tracks, he determined where Su Xuan was in Xianyang.

Then, it was Lü Buwei's revenge.

The night was deep.

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

After a period of progress, 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; it was just a game of Gomoku, losing was losing, nothing remarkable.

"Hmm?"

Su Xuan raised his eyebrows and let out a hum.

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

Earlier, she had made a brilliant move, and she had even thought through the subsequent steps. She was just about to watch Su Xuan make a fool of himself; if Su Xuan made the wrong move, she would definitely win this game.

Su Xuan said softly, "Someone is here."

Seeing that Yan Lingji did not understand, he added, "The visitor is ill-intentioned!" ===== CHAPTER 197 =====
