Chapter 256: The King of Western Chu is about to fall into the trap

For a long time, the reputation of Fusu, the eldest prince of the empire, seemed to have been established.

You can dislike him, you can think he is old-fashioned, you can think he is stupid...

But no one thinks Fusu is a scheming person.

It can be said that the character of Fusu, the eldest prince of the Qin Dynasty, as an "honest man" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Therefore, even an old fox like Feng Quji, when he heard the news from Fusu, combined with what Feng Jie had just said about Fusu's behavior, was shocked.

He believed it too!

Moreover, the news Feng Jie told was more than just that.

"Tsk tsk, what happened in the court before was not just about Ying Yuan!"

"That Master Fusu, because Chunyu Yue made Ying Yuan vomit blood in anger, he actually severed the teacher-student relationship with Chunyu Yue on the spot!"

"This Confucianism has suffered a huge loss this time!"

Feng Jie's face was clearly filled with gloating.

After all, Confucianism’s previous investment in Fusu was a great success.

Not only were they firmly bound to Fusu and occupied the position of teacher and student, but more importantly, they actually trained Fusu to become a devout believer in Confucianism.

This is much more reliable than any other relationship.

As long as Fusu still believed in Confucianism, even if Chunyu Yue died, there would be other Confucianists who could rise along this path.

How could Feng Jie and others not be envious of this?
Now, the trouble caused by Confucianism itself has directly destroyed this good relationship.

fun!
Thinking of this, Feng Jie suddenly smiled and said.

"Father, I estimate that after I finish selling this batch of paper, it will be the critical moment for the battle for the crown prince."

"It just so happens that Prince Fusu has fallen out with the Confucian gang, and we have come with a huge amount of money. Isn't this a match made in heaven?"

"Let's support Master Fusu to take the throne of the crown prince. Given Master Fusu's personality, how can we suffer any loss?"

When Feng Quji heard what his son Qilin said, his eyes flashed and he nodded slowly.

"good!"

"Prince Fusu has a kind nature. If we can seize the merit of following the dragon, then we, the people of the aristocratic family, can rise to the top and control the situation in the court!"

"But, Jie'er, you should keep this in mind!"

"We are certainly working hard for the aristocratic family, but we are also ministers of the Qin Dynasty!"

"When the Qin Empire was strong, we became strong. If the Qin Empire declines, then no matter how strong we are, we will be nothing but rootless duckweed!"

Unfortunately, Feng Jie was so excited that he only heard the word "good" from beginning to end!

As for the rest, it's just the old man's nagging.

This family still depends on him!

……

Late at night, a knight in black rode a fast horse and hurried to the old Chujing land under the cover of darkness.

Soon, the knight pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, and walked quickly towards the interior of the house.

All along the way, the shadowy figures were all strong men with weapons in their hands.

If it wasn't a familiar face, I would have drawn my sword on the spot.

The black knight trotted all the way to the main hall of the house deep in the yard and reported hurriedly.

"Young Master, the spies from Xianyang sent a secret report, and the leader specially ordered me to deliver the message to you!"

In the main room, a burly young man was holding a silk handkerchief under the light, applying a little oil to a steel gun and applying it carefully back and forth.

Hearing the sudden sound, he looked up suddenly.

A pair of eyes that seemed to be choosing someone to devour, but under the candlelight, they sparkled like a ferocious beast.

If someone takes a closer look, they will find that the young man's eyes are actually the legendary double pupils. It has long been rumored that anyone with an unusual number in their destiny must be born with an unusual sign.

Just like Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, who had not only earlobes but also parallel ribs.

And Shun, one of the three emperors in ancient times, had double pupils!

"Give me the secret letter!"

The man with double pupils looked at the person who came, his eyes flashed, and he gave orders in a deep voice.

When his subordinates handed him the secret report, he took it and looked at it, but suddenly stood up.

"Prince Fusu is holding a hero conference to gather heroes from all over the world?"

"Young Master Yuan vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Is he going to die soon?"

"Have you ever verified this information?"

The black knight who delivered the secret report was not an ordinary person, so he simply bowed and saluted before answering.

"Young Master, after the leader learned about this, he was afraid that there might be a fraud, so he specially verified it."

"As for the Heroes Conference, it has not started yet, so it is hard to say anything else. But from the fact that it is just a promotional event and now uses paper that is as valuable as gold, it is clear that it is official."

"Secondly, the incident of Ying Yuan vomiting blood and fainting happened in front of everyone in the Qilin Palace."

"If that's all, it's fine. The leader won't believe it."

"But afterwards, after much investigation by spies in Xianyang, we learned that it was Chunyu Yue who rashly impeached and contemptuously called the common people mud-legged, which caused Ying Yuan to become furious."

"This matter has a beginning and an end, and Prince Fusu came out to explain it afterwards. Only then can we be sure that this matter is true!"

Hearing this, the man with double pupils slapped the table with joy.

Who would have thought that a casual slap in the excitement would break the thick table into pieces.

But the man with double pupils didn't care about these things at all. After all, he had accidentally destroyed many pieces of furniture since he was a child.

"Okay!"

"This is a godsend opportunity for our Great Chu!"

"It's just right. Now Ying Zheng is hiding in Zhangtai Palace to recuperate and not take care of things, leaving behind a little brat like Ying Yuan who is so restless."

"That's great! Even Ying Yuan has fallen!"

"Hahaha, what a godsend!"

"It just so happens that my uncle advised me to go to Xianyang to win the first place in the martial arts test of the Heroes Conference, obtain the title of hero, and become famous throughout the world!"

"Now it seems, it's just right!"

Seeing his young master looking so happy, the black knight had to pour a basin of cold water on him.

"Young Master, the leader specifically instructed me to do so."

"Young Master's reputation for divine power was clearly revealed at the Juxian Hall."

"Although your appearance has changed over the years, in order not to arouse suspicion, please conceal the name of the Xiang family."

"It's best not to even bring the Tyrant Spear that the Young Master is most familiar with!"

The man with double pupils was slightly startled when he heard this, but in the next moment he spoke with great pride.

"If you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it!"

"Even if I, Xiang Yu, tie my own hands, who in this world can be my opponent?"

"Send a message back to my uncle and tell him that I will set out for Qin tomorrow!"

"The first place in the martial arts test of this heroic gathering must go to me, Xiang Yu!"

"When the time comes, I will use this hero's name to make a call in Xianyang and fight for the revival of our Great Chu!"

"He doesn't need to worry about the rest!"
