Xianyang County, Wangyi Palace.
Huhai sat on the chair with a solemn expression.
Zhao Gao stood beside him, seemingly waiting for his answer.
"Young Master, this is a good opportunity to assassinate Ying Yun. Now that the remnants of the six dynasties are trying to kill him, even if we kill him, His Majesty will not suspect us.”
" He's ranked first on the Intelligence Ranking," Huhai said worriedly." He's ranked first on the Weapon Ranking. I'm afraid we won't be able to kill him. Instead, we'll be defeated by him."”
" Young Master, why are you so indecisive?" Zhao Gao said with disappointment." We don't even need to kill him. We only need the shadow army we trained to do it."”
" You should know Ying Yun's strength," Huhai said doubtfully." Do you think the Shadow Legion can kill him?"”
Huhai had personally witnessed Ying Yun's battle prowess.
It was precisely because of this that he was hesitant.
" This is a chance," Zhao Gao said." Moreover, the remnants of the Six Nations are chasing and blocking us. Even if Ying Yun doesn't die, he will probably be injured."”
"When the time comes, we will kill him. There is a 50% chance of success.”
"If we don't kill him, His Majesty will definitely reward him heavily when he returns to Xianyang. By then, I'm afraid that Young Master won't have the chance to become the Emperor.”
Huhai was still hesitating.
However, after hearing this, he paused for a moment and nodded."Alright then, let's get the Shadow Legion to move out and kill Ying Yun on the way.”
Ying Yun had destroyed the Great Yue Clan, so Ying Zheng would definitely reward him handsomely.
Therefore, no matter what, Huhai could not let Ying Yun return to Xianyang.
Zhao Gao said," This old servant heard that Young Master Fusu is about to return. He has always been at odds with us, so we must get rid of Ying Yun before he does."”
"Wasn't Fusu sent to Shangjun by Imperial Father?" Huhai asked in surprise. Why are you back so soon?"
Zhao Gao said," It's all because of Feng Quji. He put in a good word for him in front of His Majesty. You know, Feng Quji has always supported Fusu as the Emperor."”
"Feng Quji, that old fellow, is really detestable. This Young Master will kill him sooner or later.”
If Fu Su stayed in Shangjun, Huhai would not feel threatened.
But if he returned to Xianyang, he would feel threatened.
" It's a pity that Li Si isn't willing to cooperate with us," Zhao Gao said." Otherwise, with his help, it would be much easier for Young Master to ascend the throne."”
" Li Si is too scheming," Huhai said with a dark expression." He wants to take the things, but he's dragging his feet."”
"The moment we offend him, not only will he not give us a good look, he will even say bad things about us in front of Imperial Father.”
"If I ascend to the throne, I will kill him first.”
"Li Si is not our enemy now. Our enemy is Ying Yun," said Zhao Gao.”
"Since we've decided to let the Shadow Legion kill him, this old servant will make the arrangements now.”
With that, Zhao Gao turned around and left.
After Ying Yun returned to Xianyang, he didn't immediately return to Ganquan Palace.
Instead, he found a restaurant in the city and prepared to have a full meal before going back.
Because Qin Chao didn't have chopsticks, Ying Yun would always bring a pair of chopsticks with him wherever he went.
When the people in the restaurant saw him eating with chopsticks, they were all shocked.
"Look, why is that person eating different from us?”
"Haha, this is the first time I've seen someone eat like this.”
Seeing Ying Yun eating with chopsticks, some people were shocked, while others were disdainful.
Ying Yun didn't care about the discussions of the crowd.
Even though the food in the Qin Dynasty was somewhat unappetizing.
However, he had been starving since the beginning.
Therefore, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
"Little brother, the way you eat is really special.”
Ying Yun raised his head and saw a white-haired old man carrying a bowl of rice and sitting opposite him.
"You don't mind if I sit here and eat, right?”
"I don't mind."
Ying Yun glanced at the old man, then lowered his head and continued eating.
The old man's eyes narrowed when he saw Ying Yun ignoring him. He then smiled and said,"I can see that Young Master has an extraordinary bearing and should not be an ordinary person.”
Ying Yun was startled. He raised his head and carefully examined the old man.
Although the old man had a head full of white hair, there were no wrinkles on the skin below his neck.
Ying Yun originally wanted to look at the other party's arm, but he discovered that the other party was completely wrapped in clothes.
"Although the old man looks old, his voice is like a young man. I don't think he's an ordinary person.”
Hearing Ying Yun's words, the old man's eyes flashed with shock.
However, he recovered very quickly. He looked at Ying Yun and said with a smile,"Little brother sure knows how to joke."
"You're the one who always jokes with me." Ying Yun laughed.”
"Alright, I'm here to tell you that you're going to have a bloody calamity today."”
Ying Yun smiled faintly.
"What? You don't believe me, Young Master?" The old man frowned.”
"I've been experiencing bloody disasters every day recently. Do you think I'll believe you if you tell me this?" Ying Yun said.”
He had been assassinated countless times on his way back from Longxi to Xianyang.
Therefore, he did not take the old man's words to heart at all.
"The bloody disaster I'm talking about is now," the old man said.”
"Now?"
Ying Yun was startled.
The old man pointed at Ying Yun's bowl and said,"Didn't you notice that the rice in this bowl was poisoned?"”
"I thought you were very smart, but it turns out that you're just so-so.”
Ying Yun glanced at the bowl, smiled, and continued eating.
"How did you know it was poisonous and still ate it?" The old man asked in surprise.”
"Because there is no poison that can kill me."”
In order to prevent the remnants of the Six Nations from poisoning him, Ying Yun would take an antidote pill every once in a while.
The old man was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He said,"Here comes your trouble."
After saying that, he quickly stood up and retreated.
Just as the old man retreated, a few commoners who were eating next to him suddenly pulled out their long swords from under the table and slashed at Ying Yun.
Seeing that someone wanted to kill Ying Yun, the old man slowly approached a table and reached his hand under it.
He saw a long sword wrapped in black cloth hidden under the table.
After the old man received the sword, he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he stared at Ying Yun.
Ying Yun was still sitting on the chair expressionlessly in the face of their attacks.
Although they were a little surprised, they did not hesitate.
The long sword in his hand slashed at Ying Yun's body.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
After their swords struck Ying Yun's body, a metallic sound rang out.
"This…"
Seeing this scene, their eyes widened in disbelief.
At this moment, Ying Yun picked up the Xuanyuan Sword on the table and quickly pulled it out.
Whoosh!
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
A sword light flashed past, and the few of them covered their necks with their hands and slowly fell to the ground.
"What a fast sword technique!"
"Who is this person? I don't think there is such a person in Xianyang City.”
When the surrounding commoners saw Ying Yun kill them in the blink of an eye, they were shocked.
The white-haired old man slowly put down the sword in his hand and pulled his hand out from under the table.
Then, he sat down opposite Ying Yun and asked with a smile,"I didn't expect little brother's martial arts to be so high. May I know who your master is?”
Ying Yun put away the Xuanyuan Sword and said indifferently,"Self-taught."
"Self-taught?"
The white-haired old man's eyes narrowed, but he soon revealed a faint smile. Clearly, he didn't believe it.
At this moment, he turned his gaze to Ying Yun's sword.
"Can you let me take a look at your sword?”
Ying Yun raised his head and stared at the white-haired old man."Let me show you. If you're with them, won't I be unlucky?”
The white-haired old man seemed to be a little afraid when he saw Ying Yun's gaze. He hurriedly smiled and said,"This old master is just casually saying. If little brother is unwilling, then forget it.”
Rumble!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from outside.
Immediately after, there were exclamations.
"It's to help Young Master Su back."
"That's great. Young Master Fusu is benevolent. I thought that His Majesty would not let him come back after sending him to Shangjun.”
"How is that possible? Young Master Fusu is the most qualified person to be the Emperor. How could His Majesty bear to let him stay there forever?”
Hearing that Fu Su had returned, the white-haired old man looked out the window.
At this moment, he noticed that Ying Yun's expression was calm, as if he didn't care about these things.
"Little brother, what do you think of Fu Su?”
After Ying Yun finished the rice in his bowl, he said indifferently,"Fu Su is a prince. He's not someone we can casually discuss.”
"Then how about we talk about Young Master Yingyun?" the white-haired old man said with a smile.”
Ying Yun was startled. He raised his head and looked at the white-haired old man.
For some reason, he felt that the other party was a little strange.
"Why are you talking about him? He's just a prince who is not valued by Ying Zheng.”
"Haha, little brother, you really know how to joke. Not only is young master Ying Yun ranked first on the wisdom ranking, but his weapon is also ranked first on the weapon ranking.”
"With his strength and resourcefulness, it would be easy for him to get the emperor.”
Ying Yun looked at the white-haired old man and asked,"Who exactly are you?”
"I'm just an ordinary person, and I happen to be interested in this Young Master Ying Yun."”
Ying Yun's expression was still calm as he said,"What, do you want to join him?”
"It's not impossible," the white-haired old man said with a smile."It depends on whether he can be a good emperor."”
After saying this, the white-haired old man poured himself a cup of water, as if waiting for Ying Yun's reply.
