In the pitch-black night, Fu Su and Cao Zhengchun, as well as the ten most skilled Shadow Secret Guards, followed the black shadow from afar.
As expected of an elite who was sent by Zhao Gao to carry out a dangerous mission.
The man in black was very vigilant. Every time he passed a corner, he would look back and make sure that there was no one else before continuing.
Furthermore, he deliberately made many turns in the streets and alleys.
It wasn't until half an hour later, when the black shadow had almost explored half of Xianyang, that he felt completely safe. After comparing himself to a map for a moment, he entered a very remote dilapidated temple that even the surrounding people had almost forgotten.
In the courtyard of the ruined temple, two people were waiting anxiously.
It was the son-in-law of Zhao Gao and Yan Le.
"Father-in-law, just relax.”
"Today, this Fu Su must die!”
Seeing Zhao Gao's anxious expression, Yan Le immediately comforted him.
"I hope so!"
"But this time, it also gave us a warning." Zhao Gao shook his head.”
"We've been neglecting the power of the remnants of the Six Nations.”
"After everything is done, remember to kill all these people together!”
"Otherwise, with Huhai's ability, even if he gets that position, he won't be able to sit firmly!”
"Father-in-law is right, this son-in-law will definitely do as you say!”
Yan Le hurriedly nodded.
However, he was a little unhappy in his heart.
They were just a bunch of stray dogs with some martial strength.
If it wasn't for the fact that Zhao Gao didn't allow him to personally take action, Fu Su would have died countless times already.
However, Yan Le approved of Zhao Gao's plan to silence him.
In this world, only the dead could truly keep secrets.
After all, even though Fu Su was dead, there was still the even more terrifying First Emperor above him.
Yan Le was secretly thinking about whether he should get someone to find a way to make a fake longevity pill and poison Ying Zheng to death.
Even though the alchemists in the palace and around the city had disappeared.
But in Yan Le's eyes, he didn't take it seriously at all.
Didn't he kill an alchemist before?
After that, Ying Zheng continued to eat medicinal pills.
Moreover, Xu Fu was still leading a fleet of ships to wander the sea in search of the Immortal Island.
Zhao Gao shook his head in disappointment.
Why couldn't this son-in-law become a great person no matter how much he taught him?
Fortunately, Fu Su was going to die soon.
Without this big threat, Zhao Gao was confident that he could still stabilize the situation.
As for the first emperor, he could die of exhaustion.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Zhao Gao's heart couldn't help but thump when he saw his subordinates 'solemn expressions.
Could it be that something unexpected happened again?
"How was it? Did the operation go smoothly?”
"Quickly tell me, how did Fu Su die?”
Yan Le didn't notice the change in Zhao Gao's expression and asked excitedly.
Having been used to enjoying the days of being high and mighty, Yan Le was about to go crazy from all the grievances he had suffered during this period of time.
He didn't even know how he had survived.
In his opinion, all of this was because of Fu Su.
As long as Fusu died, no matter how unwilling the First Emperor was, he could only make Huhai the Crown Prince.
At that time, Zhao Gao would be able to make a comeback and become the head of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, or even take another step forward!
And he, Yan Le, would definitely enter the Imperial Court and hold a high position.
Those courtiers who had ignored him during this period of time would kneel in front of him again, crying and begging for his forgiveness.
He had been waiting for this moment for far too long.
"Sir, sir, the assassination failed!”
The man in black lowered his head, not daring to look Zhao Gao in the eye.
"What?"
The smile on Yan Le's face froze.
Zhao Gao sighed helplessly.
He closed his eyes.
It was over!
"What's going on? Isn't there a tunnel?”
"There are only so few people in the Crown Prince's Residence. If more than ten experts sneak in, will Fu Su escape?”
"Could it be that those bastards colluded with Fu Su? Impossible!”
Yan Le's face was filled with disbelief as he grabbed the black clothed man's neck like a madman and reprimanded him.
"Let go of him. If you continue to pinch him, he will die!”
Zhao Gao waved his hand to stop Yan Le and said with a serious expression,"What exactly happened?"
"Milord, the situation is very wrong.”
"When the assassins first entered the tunnel, it was very smooth. I thought they had succeeded.
But I waited outside for a long time and didn't see anyone return.”
"Later, I saw a light suddenly lit up in the direction of the main hall in the Crown Prince's residence, and there seemed to be the sound of arrows piercing through the air!”
"I felt that something was wrong, so I quickly ran back and reported to Milord!”
The man in black quickly replied.
"So, you didn't see with your own eyes whether Fu Su was dead or not?”
Zhao Gao's eyes flashed.
"The inside has already been alarmed. I don't dare to sneak in.”
"However, if Fu Su dies, the Crown Prince's Residence will definitely be in a mess. It's impossible for them not to send someone to report to His Majesty!”
The man in black explained.
"In other words, it's possible that Fu Su is dead or seriously injured?”
Yan Le heaved a sigh of relief and guessed.
However, Zhao Gao's expression was still extremely solemn.
"Alright, your mission has been completed. This is your reward!”
After a moment, Zhao Gao suddenly said.
"Thank you, my lord!"
The man in black was about to thank him when his eyes were suddenly filled with fear.
"Puchi!"
A sharp dagger slashed across the throat of the man in black who was caught off guard.
The man in black had a look of disbelief on his face as he clutched his neck and died.
His eyes were still wide open.
He died with grievances!
"Father-in-law, what are you doing?"
Yan Le asked doubtfully.
"Do you still need me to tell you such a simple reason?”
"Let's go, this place is no longer safe.”
"As for whether Fu Su is dead or not, we'll know clearly tomorrow.”
Zhao Gao angrily glared at Yan Le.
If it wasn't for the fact that he only had one son-in-law, he really wanted to strangle him to death.
However, at this moment, a series of clapping sounds suddenly came from the courtyard wall.
Zhao Gao's face turned ashen.
He had personally chosen this place.
Even Yan Le and the black-clothed man he had just silenced had only found out about it before the operation.
Now, there was a strange sound of a slap.
There was only one possibility.
A look of despair appeared on Zhao Gao's face.
This time, it was really over!
The heavens are not helping me, what can I do?
