Chapter 98 The Battle for Inheritance
"Then shall we wait like this?"

The big iron hammer walked back and forth a little anxiously. This kind of life had lasted for more than a month, and his bones were almost rusted.

"It won't be long, Meng Tian has already left, the big change is about to start, the biggest change is about to happen, there is no external pressure, and the internal strife will eventually start."

"what?"

The master class was astonished, and the others were also puzzled.

But Tang Xuanming just held the long sword at his waist, and the internal force in his body circulated throughout his body over and over again, the internal force of the Mohists, and the breathing and breathing method of the Strategists.

The two internal forces lead to the same goal by different routes, but they do not intersect each other, roaring and washing the meridians in the body.

"In the battle for the heir apparent, Qin's huge war machine began to fight with each other. This is the root of the crisis, but it is also our opportunity."

…………

"Northern wolves have invaded, and the situation at the border is critical..."

Fusu clenched his fists, Zhang Han, the leader of the secret guard, was reporting confidential information to him.

"I already know these things. What I want to know is who is Haiyue Xiaozhu who wants to kill me?"

Young Master Fusu looked calm, but Zhang Han didn't dare to be negligent. The man in front of him is likely to become the heir of the empire, the future supreme emperor, if he leaves a little friendship now, he is destined to be of infinite help in the future.

"The assassin acted decisively. He replaced Haiyue Xiaozhu's servants and chef a month in advance. His every move was flawless, leaving very few clues."

"That means there are still clues left?"

Fusu doesn't care how difficult his subordinates are, all he needs is a result.

Zhang Han knew the same, but he wanted to let his superior understand the difficulty of this operation. This would not buy him more time for investigation, but it would allow his superior to understand his ability.

"Yes, the smartest thing about assassins is to replace the cooks and servants a month in advance. They can use their skins to make seamless human skin masks, and even their behaviors can be done exactly the same."

"But there is one thing that these assassins cannot do."

Zhang Han's tone is unhurried, but it is always exciting, making people want to continue listening. This is also an art of speaking.

Fu Su pondered for a moment, then said: "What they can't do? Is it the chef's cooking skills?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Han didn't take the opportunity to flatter, and his face was still indifferent, but this was enough to satisfy his superiors. He continued to use the calm words: "The behavior of servants can be imitated by assassins, but the chef's cooking skills are not bad for these assassins. It’s too difficult to say.”

"Their killing techniques are proficient, and their cooking skills may not be bad, but there is absolutely no way to make famous dishes such as shark's fin and bear's paw. After all, there is a specialization in the art industry. You can't expect that pair of murderous hands to make people linger. delicious food.”

"But the shark's fin and bear's paw was served in front of me that day, and the taste was no different from what I had tasted before."

Fusu stared at Zhang Han in front of him, and his tone became severe: "Are you going to tell me that the assassin who is very good at killing is also very skilled?"

"No!"

Facing Fusu's questioning, Zhang Han calmly faced it, and said: "This is the flaw I want to talk about. I have carefully looked at the hands of the four assassins. Their hands are full of calluses, but they are not used for cutting vegetables. It's for holding swords, and they can't cook at all."

"Then who cooked the meals that day?"

Fusu asked with interest.

"That's the crux of the matter."

Zhang Han said sternly: "There may be many people who are good at cooking, but there are not many people who can completely copy shark's fin and cook bear's paw and know the name. Coincidentally, there is one in Songhai."

"Who is he?"

"There is an inn owner, Qilu's No. 1 chef."

"Oh, Paoding Jieniu is very capable. I have seen it in ancient books. I never thought that there is still a descendant alive. He is the key to the matter?"

Fusu's face darkened, anyone who wandered between life and death would not be so easy to talk, even though it was only his substitute who attended the banquet.

But the act of assassination has offended his majesty, and everyone must know that when the man is angry, the blood will be spattered for five steps.

And now Fusu, the heir of the future empire, is already angry.

"Yes!"

Zhang Han didn't seem to feel Fusu's anger, and remained as calm as water.

"Is this the only clue?"

"Enough is enough!"

Fusu frowned, waiting for Zhang Han's next answer.

"According to the information we got, Pao Ding is not only Qilu's No. 1 cook, he is also in charge of the food in Xiaoshengxianzhuang. Only Confucianism can manipulate him."

"Oh, Confucianism, they don't seem to have anything to do with assassins."

"Indeed, Confucianism has never been heard of participating in the assassination."

Zhang Han was slightly confused.

"Young master, I also have something to report."

Li Si, who had been silent by the side, suddenly spoke.

"Master Xiangguo, please speak!"

"According to the information I have obtained from the heaven and earth network, running Ding is not just as simple as the exclusive chef of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, he also has another identity."

"What identity?"

"He is also a member of the Mo family."

"Mo Family!"

Fusu's tone was inexplicable, and he couldn't hear much emotion.

"Did that group of imperial rebels flee to Songhai?"

"I'm afraid it won't stop!"

Li Si arched his hands and said, "The quicksand is here too."

"Quicksand! The killer assassin group left by South Korea?"

"Yes!"

Fusu's face became serious, and he said, "You mean to say that this time the assassination was done by quicksand."

Li Si shook his head and said, "This is just a guess, and there is no definite information to prove it."

"But what's interesting is that both Zhang Liang and Wei Zhuang are from South Korea. I heard that they used to be old acquaintances."

Fusu took a deep look at Li Si, the most powerful Xiangguo in the empire also came from the former South Korea.

However, the expression of the prime minister, who had been up and down in the imperial political arena for decades, did not change at all, as if he was dedicated to serving the public.

"Zhang Han, what do you think?"

"I don't know Pao Ding's other identity, but neither the Mohists nor the Confucians are good at assassination. Judging from the assassins' techniques that appeared in Haiyue Xiaozhu today, they are the most elite assassins."

"Sanghai has such strength and only Quicksand."

Tianluodiwang also has this ability, and the previous four assassins have been subdued and captured alive. It is the sudden appearance of Tianluodiwang's Six Swordsmen that led to their death and escape...

Zhang Han went over this sentence in his heart, but he didn't say it. He stared at the air in front of him without squinting, as if the air contained the truth of heaven and earth, as if he couldn't see Li Si next to him.

The room fell into silence, the atmosphere was dignified, after a long silence, Fusu said: "In that case, you all go down."

"Yes!"

Li Si cupped his hands, saluted, and then slowly turned and left.

But Zhang Han strode away, full of military style.

The room soon became quiet, only Fusu stood there quietly, and he said to himself: "Confucianism..."
