"What do you mean Ying Zheng is not dead?"
Kuaiji County was the gathering place of the Xiang clan. After reading the news from Xianyang, Xiang Liang, the current resident of the Xiang clan, had a gloomy look on his face. The nobles of the six dynasties had spent a large sum of money to bribe Ying Zheng's personal attendants, and had found out the secret that Ying Zheng was going to go on an inspection tour in civilian clothes.
This was originally a foolproof plan. First, they would tamper with the bottom of Ying Zheng's carriage, and then they would create an accident on the road that Ying Zheng had to pass through.
Ying Zheng's fall from the cliff was also witnessed by his trusted aides. He had fallen from such a high place, yet he did not die. On the contrary, he had benefited from the disaster and entered the immortal mansion to receive the teachings of the immortals.
What the f * ck was going on? Did all the planning that he had done for so long just benefit Ying Zheng?
"Uncle, is this news just a fake news that Fu Su deliberately released to stabilize the government?”
Beside Xiang Liang, there was a muscular man. Although he looked to be in his twenties, he was only fifteen years old. This man was the future overlord of the West Chu, Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu's eyes were filled with doubt. It might be true that Ying Zheng had survived a great disaster, but it was a bit ridiculous to say that Ying Zheng had entered the immortal mansion and was even taken in as a disciple by an immortal.
Anyway, he didn't believe in any supernatural things.
" This news was spread by our spy in Xianyang Palace, and it can't be fake. Besides, Meng Tian, who went out with Ying Zheng that day, has also returned. Ying Zheng's news was spread by Meng Tian, and he would never lie about such a big matter.”
"But are there really immortals in this world? And the immortal's cave was coincidentally near Xianyang?”
Xiangyu could not believe that all of this was just too much of a coincidence.
"This can only be attributed to Ying Zheng's good fortune. Now that Ying Zheng and Li Si have yet to return to Xianyang, all the affairs of the Qin State, big and small, are under Fusu's control.”
Xiang Liang sighed slightly, thinking to himself that Meng Tian's return was too coincidental. If he had returned half a month earlier, they would not have needed to carry out such a risky plan. If he had returned half a month later, then Fu Su and his brothers in the court would definitely be in a mess.
But unfortunately, their plan of using Ying Zheng's son to seize power while Ying Zheng was not around had just begun to take shape, but it was extinguished by Meng Tian.
With Ying Zheng's edict, no one dared to come out and cause trouble.
What was even more tragic was that when Ying Zheng came back, he would definitely investigate the accident and his young masters thoroughly, and the possibility of them being exposed was very high.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to cut off the connection with Xianyang as soon as possible and seal the deal in time.
"Yu 'er, you will handle this matter. You must erase all traces of our actions before Ying Zheng returns. And that contact, bring him back in time. If he can't bear to part with the glory and wealth of Xianyang, kill him to silence him.”
Originally, Xiang Liang really did not want Xiang Yu to do this because he was too impulsive. If he went to Xianyang City, something might happen.
However, the awkward thing is that Xiang Liang and the other core members of the Xiang family are currently wanted. It is too dangerous to go to Xianyang at this sensitive time.
And the non-core disciple Xiang Liang is afraid that they will not do a good job
When Ying Zheng issued the order to arrest them, Xiang Yu was only a twelve-year-old boy. His appearance had undergone a drastic change, and those who were not close to him would not be able to recognize him.
Therefore, Xiang Yu was the most helpless and most suitable candidate.
"I understand, uncle. I will definitely do it well.”
Xiangyu said calmly. Although Xiang Liang wanted to spare the spy's life, he had already made up his mind.
Regardless of whether he was willing to follow him back to Kuaiji, he would definitely die.
"You're usually impulsive. I shouldn't have sent you to Xianyang this time. However, the current situation is too sensitive. After you go to Xianyang, you must deal with it calmly. Don't cause too much trouble. You must remember that you're the future hope of the Xiang clan.”
"Don't worry, it's comfortable. I won't be impulsive this time.”
Although Xiang Yu had promised Xiang Liang, there was a trace of nonchalance and impatience in the depths of his eyes. Clearly, he did not listen to Xiang Liang's words.
"Sigh, I have to pay more attention."
"Jiazhu, something bad has happened!"
Just as Xiang Liang was about to remind Xiang Yu, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside. Then, a young man pushed open the door and entered in a panic.
"Why are you so panicked?"
The young man took a breath and said to Xiang Liang,""Lord Patriarch, Old Master Huang Tong's family has been captured by the Prefectural Governor and his house has been raided.”
"What is it? Huang Tong was a noble, and Ying Zheng did not strip him of his title when he destroyed the Chu Country. Did the Chief of Kuaiji County eat the guts of a leopard? You actually dare to capture him?"
What Xiang Liang didn't say was that Huang Tong's identity was not as simple as a noble. The Xiang clan was able to avoid the pursuit of the Qin Dynasty in Kuaiji because of two people. One was the Kuaiji County Governor Fan Zeng, and the other was because of this prestigious local noble, Huang Tong.
Not only was Huang Tong covering for them, but he had also been secretly funding them. The Kuaiji Prefectural Governor capturing Huang Tong was undoubtedly cutting off one of their arms.
"Lord Patriarch, not only did the county governor capture Old Master Huang Tong, but he also seized all of his assets. Right now, they are listing Old Master Huang Tong's crimes in detail in court.”
The impulsive Xiangyu slammed the table hard, and the one-inch-thick table was smashed into pieces.
"This Kuaiji County Governor doesn't want to be the Prefectural Governor anymore, right? Do you believe that I won't kill him right now?”
"Yu 'er, don't be rash. You should go to Xianyang immediately. I will deal with Huang Tong's matter.”
To be honest, Xiang Liang was really afraid that the impulsive Xiang Yu would rush to the court and chop up the Prefectural Governor. If that happened, the Xiang Clan would have to flee again.
Even though he was a little unwilling, Xiang Yu still followed Xiang Liang's words and went back to pack his luggage.
After Xiang Yu left, Xiang Liang immediately got up and went to the government office. He felt that it was very strange for the Prefectural Governor to suddenly arrest Huang Tong without any warning.
"Could it be that Fu Su has already found out that we plotted to assassinate Ying Zheng?”
