With the help of the tunnel, the group of assassins successfully sneaked into the backyard of the Crown Prince's residence. The leader could not help but reveal a sinister smile.
His name was Wei Jiu, the former Young Master of the Wei Kingdom, Lord Ning Ling.
In the twenty-second year of the First Emperor's reign, Wei State was destroyed by Qin State. Wei Jiu was also deposed as a commoner and exiled thousands of miles away.
Originally, Wei Jiu's target was only First Emperor Ying Zheng, and he had never thought of attacking Fu Su.
After all, Fu Su had been too indecisive. Just like Huhai, Wei Jiu did not take him seriously at all.
Like the other nobles of the six dynasties, he firmly believed that once the First Emperor passed away, no one would be able to control the Great Qin Empire, and it would fall apart. With the many years of preparation, the royal families of the six dynasties would be able to achieve great things.
At that time, he would be the high and mighty King of Wei, or even the Emperor of Wei!
However, Fu Su's sudden rise changed everything.
The expedition to the grasslands, the destruction of the Xiongnu, directly swept away the foreign invasion of the Great Qin, tens of thousands of Turkic young and strong captives, even more greatly relieved the Great Qin, the original high corvee, the complaints of the common people, instantly quelled the many, one by one, instead began to be proud of themselves, the Qin people.
This made Wei Jiu and the others feel a sense of danger.
It had to be said that the reason why they believed that Great Qin's fate would not last long was because its governance was too harsh. The commoners could not tolerate it and would be forced to rebel sooner or later.
Fu Su's actions gave Great Qin a chance to breathe again!
After that, Fu Su invented the Qin paper and the Qin brush, which made all the students in the world grateful.
The free government schools in Xianyang and Hanzhong Prefecture won the hearts of the people.
Even the residents of the other regions were looking forward to this experiment spreading to the entire Great Qin so that their children would have a chance to stand out.
After that, the Crown Prince's Palace started to recruit talents from all over the world, and they directly and ruthlessly struck the vital points of Wei Jiu and the other descendants of the six dynasties.
If the commoners stopped causing trouble, what would happen to them?
If they couldn't mobilize the people to revolt against them, would they use their heads to rebel with just these few people?
The scholars were all attracted by the Fusu. Without anyone to give them advice, how could they fight against the Great Qin army?
Even if they were lucky enough to take down a territory, who would help them manage it?
What was even more terrifying was that Fusu had discovered a high-yield grain. Once it was promoted on a large scale, the people of the world would no longer have to worry about hunger.
Although he felt that such a high-yield crop that could be said to be auspicious was just bragging, Fusu had already created too many miracles. What if it was true?
If it was true, then they really had no hope of restoring the throne.
It was possible that even the subordinates they had worked so hard to win over would give up on them and even sell them to Great Qin in exchange for a better future.
Thus, when he received Yan Le's plan to assassinate Fu Su, Wei Jiu agreed without hesitation.
Although Yan Le had put on a disguise.
However, it was not as if there were no descendants of the six dynasties.
The famous Zhang Liang, who had successfully escaped after assassinating the First Emperor, had sent people to follow Yan Le all the way to Zhao Gao's mansion.
Then, they were relieved.
If there was anyone in Great Qin who hated Fu Su as much as they did, it would definitely be Zhao Gao.
Although they looked down on this eunuch gang, as long as they could assassinate Fusu, everyone would be like-minded.
Moreover, the death of Fu Su, the outstanding successor, would definitely deal a heavy blow to the First Emperor, who was already in poor health. He might even die early.
This was the perfect opportunity they had been waiting for over ten years.
In order to succeed in one strike, Wei Jiu had brought along the elite soldiers of Wei that he had saved with great difficulty.
He was not the only one. The other nobles of the six dynasties also made their moves.
Wei Jiu's eyes were filled with ferocity as he looked in the direction of the main hall. His face was filled with malevolence and killing intent.
As an opponent, I admire your achievements.
But for Big Wei, please die!
......
In the main hall, Fu Su's horn revealed a cold smile.
The secret passage that Wei Jiu and the others thought was extremely secretive had actually been discovered by Cao Zhengchun long ago.
When it came to spying, the East Chamber barbarians were a thousand years ahead.
The reason why he pretended not to know the entire tunnel was just to lure the snake out of its hole.
"Master, everything is ready!”
Cao Zhengchun's figure emerged from the shadows as he respectfully said.
"Very good. Oh right, is there any unusual activity in the residence tonight?”
Fu Su asked.
This was his other plan.
At such an opportunity, no matter how well he hid, he would still be exposed.
He didn't want a poisonous snake to lurk beside him all the time.
Other than a few spies that His Highness had ordered to be left behind, the others did not make any strange movements.
Oh right, Miss Yue Ji they all were rather resentful towards His Highness sending people to watch over her and not letting her make a move.
Cao Zhengchun quickly replied.
"Then prepare to draw the net!"
A cold smile appeared on Fu Su's face.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The one who can have the last laugh is the true winner.
......
"Isn't it going too smoothly? This Fu Su is a veteran on the battlefield. How can the residence not be on guard at all?”
Wei Jiu felt that something was wrong when he didn't see a single guard when he reached the main hall.
He waved his hand, signaling the people behind him to pay attention.
However, this group of people came from many forces.
Except for Wei Wu, the others quickened their pace.
Wei Jiu sighed helplessly and could only follow.
He hoped that he was worrying too much.
At this moment, Xiang Zhuang, who was rushing at the front, had already pushed open the door.
Although it was pitch-black inside, the people who were selected to be here were all extraordinary people. Soon, they heard light breathing.
"He's inside!"
"Quick, come in quickly. Don't let anyone escape!”
"Today is the day of Fu Su's death!”
"Fusu, hand over your life!"
Even after a long period of training, the assassins couldn't help but get excited when victory was imminent.
One by one, they scrambled to squeeze into the door.
The dagger in his hand emitted a faint green light even in the dark night.
It was obvious that it had been dipped in poison.
Once they were cut, even if they were not stabbed to death, they would be poisoned to death.
Even Wei Jiu subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
The overall situation had been decided. Fu Su was definitely dead.
What he had to be careful of now was how to escape after the matter was done.
As the future King of Wei, Wei Jiu was only here to gain some reputation. He didn't want to die here.
However, at the next moment.
The situation that they thought was destined suddenly changed.
