Chapter 362

~7 min read 1,366 words

In the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng read this state letter several times. After confirming that he had not missed any of the content, he immediately had someone summon Su Xuan.

After Su Xuan entered the palace, as soon as Ying Zheng saw him, he handed this state letter from the State of Yan to Su Xuan.

While Su Xuan was reading the state letter, Ying Zheng praised: "I am now more and more admiring Mr. Su. Everything is exactly as Mr. Su expected!"

Earlier, when Su Xuan returned from the State of Yan and mentioned to him the Black Hero with Six Fingers' misfortune and Yan Dan's many schemes, Ying Zheng had already felt some sighs. Mr. Su was flawless in his calculations, just like a roundworm in Yan Dan's stomach, seeing through and guessing all of his many schemes.

Until receiving this state letter from Yan Dan, he marveled even more.

Su Xuan had not only guessed Yan Dan's schemes, but even many details were exactly as Su Xuan had predicted.

A long time ago, Su Xuan had brought up some assumptions in front of him.

Suppose the State of Yan offered the Dukang land and also used Fan Yuqi's head as a price—would he be willing to meet the envoys of the State of Yan?

The answer was affirmative!

The State of Yan was willing to pay such a price, and the State of Qin would take the Dukang land without shedding blood. It would be a waste not to take advantage of this.

Afterward, Su Xuan proposed another assumption.

When the envoys of the State of Yan explained the map of the Dukang land to him, would he be willing to listen to the other party explain it at close range?

The answer was also affirmative!

After all, at that time, having harvested the Dukang land and seen the head of the traitor Fan Yuqi, he would be filled with joy, and he would agree to any request that was not too excessive.

And this, in fact, was exactly what Yan Dan and the others intended.

Because they had hidden the murderous weapon in the Dukang map, waiting for the moment when the map was unrolled and the dagger revealed.

At this moment, in the state letter sent by Yan Dan, although it only mentioned offering the Dukang land and Fan Yuqi's head, both of these had been guessed by Su Xuan. It was feared that Yan Dan's subsequent plan was also exactly as Su Xuan had said.

Su Xuan ignored Ying Zheng's praise and continued to look at the state letter. Besides the price paid by the State of Yan, the letter also stated in advance the identities of the envoys sent by the State of Yan.

"The principal envoy Jing Ke, the deputy envoy Qin Wuyang—I have heard a little about these two people; they are leaders of the Mohist School!"

"Yan Dan is not polite at all. Not long after the Black Hero with Six Fingers was harmed, he directly borrowed the power of the Mohist School!"

"What does Mr. Su plan to do next?" Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan, "Should I go along with Yan Dan's wishes for now and meet the envoys he sent?"

Su Xuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Having slept for so long, it is time for the Black Hero with Six Fingers to wake up!"

In the Yin-Yang School, the Black Hero with Six Fingers lay on the bed.

Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong would occasionally come to see him. It was a pity that because letting the Black Hero with Six Fingers sleep was Su Xuan's intention, even if Nian Duan's medical skills were superb, she could not wake the Black Hero with Six Fingers up without Su Xuan resolving the hidden hand left in his body.

They did learn some of the Black Hero with Six Fingers' encounters from Su Xuan and felt many emotions.

Duanmu Rong's first thought was that Su Xuan was lying.

Although she had joined the Yin-Yang School, because of her good impression of Yan Dan in the past, she was still somewhat unwilling to accept that Yan Dan had harmed the Black Hero with Six Fingers. Nian Duan, however, had always had some opinions about the Black Hero with Six Fingers and Yan Dan being on good terms. Upon learning that it was Yan Dan who harmed the Black Hero with Six Fingers, she was not surprised, but instead felt some sympathy for the Black Hero with Six Fingers.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel grateful to Su Xuan.

If it weren't for Su Xuan, her old friend would really have died.

She very much wanted to wake the Black Hero with Six Fingers up, but due to her insufficient medical skills, she had always been unable to save the Black Hero with Six Fingers, who was in a living-dead state.

On this day, when the master and disciple were visiting the Black Hero with Six Fingers, Su Xuan also arrived here.

Looking at the master and disciple, Su Xuan said without blushing or skipping a beat: "I have recently created a new technique that might be able to wake the Black Hero with Six Fingers!"

Hearing this, Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong looked at Su Xuan in surprise at the same time.

Su Xuan didn't say much more. Afterward, in front of the two, he began to summon the soul for the Black Hero with Six Fingers. This process referred to when he prayed for rain in Xinzheng back then. In any case, he just did a bunch of actions that looked very powerful but were actually useless, putting on an appearance that he had already tried his best.

With the word "Condense" spoken, his magic power surged into the Black Hero with Six Fingers' body, resolving the hidden hand left inside him.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to wake up before long!"

After resolving the hidden hand, Su Xuan said.

The impatient Duanmu Rong hurriedly stepped forward to check the condition of the Black Hero with Six Fingers. She was very shocked: "Master, Leader Six Fingers, he..."

Nian Duan also stepped forward to check and discovered that the condition of the Black Hero with Six Fingers had truly improved. Originally, there was a mass of toxins lingering in his body, affecting his heart pulse, which even Nian Duan could not eradicate to wake him up. But now, this mass of toxins had disappeared without a trace.

Yin-Yang arts? No, is the technique really this magical?

Nian Duan felt that she should also go and learn some Yin-Yang arts; perhaps she could open up a new path of medicine!

She was currently in the Yin-Yang School; wanting to learn techniques was an easy thing.

After another while, the Black Hero with Six Fingers, as Su Xuan had said, woke up slowly.

"You're awake!"

After waking up, he heard a familiar sentence. Seeing the people beside him, the Black Hero with Six Fingers was somewhat surprised.

They were all acquaintances.

Su Xuan, Nian Duan, Duanmu Rong.

The memory of the Black Hero with Six Fingers was still stuck at the very last moment. He had seen Su Xuan appear at that time and thought he was hallucinating. Seeing Su Xuan again now, he immediately guessed the truth.

He asked in a deep voice: "Did you save me?"

Su Xuan nodded.

The Black Hero with Six Fingers said to Su Xuan: "Thank you!"

Seeing the Black Hero with Six Fingers wake up, Duanmu Rong hurriedly asked: "Leader Six Fingers, who exactly attacked you?"

"He said it was..."

She looked at Su Xuan, still somewhat disbelieving that Yan Dan had attacked the Black Hero with Six Fingers.

"It was Yan Dan!"

The Black Hero with Six Fingers stated the mastermind. Upon hearing this, Duanmu Rong's expression changed. Although Su Xuan had already stated the answer, when she truly heard these words, she was still very shocked. She hadn't expected Yan Dan to deal such a ruthless hand to the Black Hero with Six Fingers. ===== CHAPTER 364 =====
