Midnight.
Fu Su put on his clothes and walked out of the mansion.
The night was as dark as ink, and the stars covered the sky.
During Great Qin's reign, there was a curfew, and the streets were closed off. No one was allowed to walk around the city.
There would be black armored guards patrolling the entire Xianyang City.
However, this was also relative to the commoners, so Fu Su was not worried.
He was the eldest son of Great Qin, so what if he came out at night?
Along the way, Fu Su was unhindered. All the black armored guards who met him cupped their fists and greeted him.
They did not ask what Fu Su was going to do. Naturally, they were not qualified to ask.
How could a mere black armored guard like you question the eldest son of the Great Qin Empire?
Soon, Fu Su arrived at the east of the city. Xianyang City was divided into four regions.
According to the Records of the Historian. In the Book of the Heavenly Palace, there was a saying about the Eastern Palace Azure Dragon, the Southern Vermilion Bird, the Western Palace Xianchi, and the Northern Palace Xuanwu.
Therefore, the East, South, East, West, and North were all managed by the Grand Scribe, while the East of the city was managed by the Grand Scribe of Cang Dragon.
Written on the mechanism was a wooden house under a tree in the east of Xianyang City at midnight.
However, this wooden house was not easy to find. How would Fu Su know where such a big wooden house was located in the east of the city?
Mo Jin must have thought that if Fu Su was an Immortal's disciple, he would definitely know where the wooden house was.
He had no choice but to continue searching.
Fu Su went from the north to the west, then from the south to the east, but he still couldn't find it.
"Damn it, there's no location in ancient times. How long will it take to find it?”
"I've already unlocked this mechanism. Wouldn't it be awkward if I couldn't find the place?”
"I might even be called a liar by the Mo family. It's very annoying.”
Just as Fu Su was sitting under a tree and complaining to himself, he suddenly heard a few noises nearby.
"Quick, it's right here. Continue searching!”
"That woman is truly audacious. How dare she assassinate the Old Dragon Grand Scribe!”
"You guys go over there. You guys come with me.”
Fu Su frowned when he heard that. Assassinate the Old Dragon Grand Scribe?
Who was so awesome? How dare you assassinate an official of the court?
No, I want to go and take a look!
Thinking of this, Fu Su pulled out his longsword and jumped onto the beam.
The moment he jumped onto the beam, he was discovered by the black armored guards.
"Who is going out during curfew?" they asked as they pointed at Fu Su.”
They were standing under the house, so they naturally could not see Fu Su's appearance. If they could, they would not have said that.
Fu Su did not blame him. He smiled and said,""I am Fusu."
Upon hearing that it was Fu Su, the few of them hurriedly cupped their hands and said,"Greetings, Young Master Fusu."
One of them thought of the assassination attempt on Taishi, so he tried to dissuade Fu Su,""Young Master Fusu, the Grand Scribe was assassinated. The assassin is not far from here. Please return to the palace.”
Fu Su ignored him and chuckled.""There's no need for everyone to worry."
At this moment, he saw a figure suddenly flash not far away.
He didn't even bother to talk to the black armored guards and quickly chased after them.
Soon, he arrived at the place where the previous person was, but that person had already disappeared.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a cold dagger pressed against his back.
"Don't tell anyone, or I'll kill you."
A cold and elegant voice came from behind.
Fu Su did not panic. He had top-notch sword techniques.
"Not only did you kill the Grand Scribe of the west of the city, but you also dare to threaten me, the Eldest Young Master. Although I don't know who you are, you must be very brave.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Su moved instantly. His figure was so fast that the person did not have time to react.
In the next moment, that person's dagger appeared in Fu Su's hand.
"It's you? Mo Jin?"
Fu Su turned around to take a look and was immediately shocked. This style, this dressing, wasn't it the Mo Jin who had sent him the message?
She was dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit and wore a cloak and veil.
Mo Jin was stunned by Fu Su's sudden action. She had never seen anyone move so quickly.
"Are you going to kill me or hand me over to the black armored guards?" she asked slowly after a long while.”
Although Fu Su was puzzled as to why Mo Jin wanted to kill the Old Dragon Grand Scribe, he believed that there must be a reason behind it.
The Mohist school's motto was to love all, not to attack. How could she kill the Old Dragon Grand Scribe for no reason?
"A quarter past midnight, east of Xianyang City, in a wooden house under a tree.”
Mo Jin was stunned.
When she first saw Fu Su, she thought that he was only here to investigate the matter of the Old Dragon Grand Scribe. She did not expect that Fu Su had already broken the Mo Family Lock.
"You solved it?" Mo Jin asked in surprise.
Fu Su nodded. I'm the 'disciple of an immortal' that you guys are talking about. If I can't untie it, wouldn't it be too useless?
At this moment, the black armored guards heard the noise from Fu Su's place and everyone rushed over.
When Fu Su saw that it was already too late for Mo Jin to leave, the black armored guards would definitely capture her once they discovered Mo Jin.
Although he had the status to protect Mo Jin, the First Emperor would definitely ask him why. It would be too troublesome to explain.
"Quickly take off your cloak!" Fu Su hurriedly said.”
"Why?" Mo Jin asked in confusion.
Fu Su didn't waste any time. He grabbed Mo Jin's cloak and threw him far away.
Then, she pulled Mo Jin into her arms and turned around to face the wall.
It was night, and Mo Jin was dressed in black. Only the cloak was grass white. As long as he threw away the cloak, Mo Jin would be perfectly hidden in the night.
In addition, she had turned around and leaned against the wall. During the day, she looked like she was supporting Su against the wall. Now, Fu Su was using her body to block Mo Jin. No one could see Mo Jin at midnight.
Just as he finished these actions, a group of black armored guards swarmed over.
Without waiting for the black armored guard to ask, Fu Su spoke first,""The assassin has already escaped."
The black armored guards looked at each other.
"Ran away? How are we supposed to explain this?"
"Young Master Fusu, did you see where he ran off to?”
Fu Su pointed at the cloak in the distance and said,""I fought with the assassin and took off his cloak with a sword. Seeing that she was no match for him, she jumped onto the beam and fled. As for where she went, I didn't see clearly.”
A black armored guard picked up Mo Jin's cloak and cupped his hands again."Then Young Master Fusu, did you see her face clearly?”
Appearance?
Fu Su stared at Mo Jin, who was in his arms. He looked really good.
If Wang Yaotong was the kind of girl who looked like a little girl, Mo Jin was the kind of girl who was cold and aloof.
However, Fu Su did not intend to follow Mo Jin's words. What if Mo Jin walked out one day and was discovered?
"Appearance? Emmmm, pig-kidney face, bulbous nose, cross-eyed, and pockmarked face.”
At this point, Mo Jin's gaze was as if he wanted to kill Fu Su.
When the black armored guards heard this, they were immediately filled with question marks. This didn't seem like it. Although they couldn't see the assassin's appearance clearly through the veil, they could roughly see that the assassin was a beautiful woman.
A black armored guard hesitated for a moment before walking towards Fu Su.
When Mo Jin, who was in Fu Su's arms, saw this, his heart began to beat faster. Fu Su could feel Mo Jin's heartbeat through his clothes.
Her breathing also became rapid, and her breath hit Fu Su's face.
Fu Su realized that this could not go on. If people found out that he was not only protecting this assassin, but also holding her in his arms in public, what would happen to his marriage with Wang Yaotong?
Suddenly, Fu Su shouted angrily,"Stop!"”
This angry rebuke came too suddenly. Even Mo Jin, who was in his arms, was shocked.
Hearing this, the black armored guard hurriedly stood on the spot and cupped his hands."This general wants Young Master to draw the appearance of the assassin.”
After saying that, he took out a piece of silk.
Fu Su exhaled. It seemed that he was a little too nervous. He said indifferently,""Alright, you guys can leave now. I'll ask Wang Ben to come to me tomorrow, and I'll draw it for him myself.”
Hearing that Fu Su had mentioned their Commander Wang Ben, the Black Armored Guards did not dare to say anything.
They cupped their fists respectfully and said,""We'll take our leave first."
