He raised his wine cup thoughtfully, and after a long while, he said slowly, "Maybe something went wrong with their collaboration with Wei Shao. According to the news from the northwest, the two hundred thousand troops that Wei Shao had privately recruited were split into two factions, one led by a person called Zhang Meng, and the other led by Lu Zong."

"A small hill? Lu Li's son? "

The year before last, when Xing Yao had been assassinated by the men sent by King Wei, he had also found out about the matter of Lu Li, the Minister of Internal Affairs, and his pay for food and ink. He had then brought the case of the Minister of Internal Affairs' death to King Wei's attention.

Lu Li was sentenced to be executed after autumn, and at that time, the other members of the Lu Family were sent to the Northwest Army for enlistment.

At that time, they had secretly investigated that the Lu Family was colluding with the King Wei and had sent the Lu Family to the northwest. Their other goal was naturally to get close to the two hundred thousand strong army.

If the Lu Family's people went to the northwest, they would definitely contact the King Wei's people.

They could also infiltrate the two hundred thousand strong army through Lu Dongfang.

"Yes, that's him. The amount of money Lu Li took away back then was precisely from raising these two hundred thousand strong army. It would not be difficult for Lu Li and Dong Fang to go to Wei Shao's side, and coincidentally, our people have also infiltrated in.

"What else?"

"Lu Dongfang has a hundred thousand men under his command, and they are running out of food. Zhang Meng has a lot. As time goes on, some of Lu Dongfang's men will secretly throw food into Zhang Meng's tent."

Yan Jue played with the rim of the cup in his hand as he muttered to himself, "The citizens eat to the heavens, the formation of the two hundred thousand strong army only has two years left. It would probably be difficult to keep his will strong enough to endure the starvation.

Yan Yuan curled his lips and said, "So, I suspect that one hundred thousand out of those two hundred thousand troops was from Shen Ji Hall. Back then, we only found out that Shen Ji Hall was involved with the two hundred thousand army from the northwest, but we didn't know that a large part of the reason why Wei Shao was so arrogant recently was because of the two hundred thousand strong army from the northwest. If there was any conflict between Shen Ji Hall and Wei Shao, the most that Wei Shao could have was a hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

Saying this, Yan Yuan suddenly smiled sarcastically.

"Therefore, those two hundred thousand soldiers and horses were originally funded and raised by the Shen Ji Hall. If the Shen Ji Hall were to cut off all communication with Wei Shao, then the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Wei Shao's hands would have no money to raise."

Yan Jue accepted Yan Yuan's words, and then, as if he thought of something, his brows knitted together abruptly, "Right now, the huge army of a hundred thousand in Wei Shao's hands has already begun to slowly pour out to the Shen Ji Hall's hands. As time goes by, with the Shen Ji Hall's two hundred thousand strong army, I'm afraid that it will be much harder to deal with than Wei Shao."

"That's right, I think that was the People from the Divine Artefact Hall's idea, they should be clear that Wei Shao does not have enough money to support his hundred thousand strong army, after a long time, they will not need to spend much time and effort to absorb all the troops that are under Wei Shao's command, and at that time, they will definitely not need to use Wei Shao to fight their way to the capital."

Yan Yuan nodded in agreement.

These few years, the Shen Ji Hall had become more and more powerful in the people, their people infiltrating into every corner of the people. Their identities were different, there might even be people from their own people in the people's court.

The power of the Shen Ji Hall was spread throughout the entire nation. This was also the reason why they had been unable to find out who the mastermind was after so many years.

In their hands were the gold, silver and jewelry left behind by the Mo family. With the growth of the Mo family in all aspects these years, not to mention a hundred thousand soldiers and two hundred thousand soldiers, it would not be difficult for them to raise them.

"The Shen Ji Hall can even think of something that even we can think of. So, isn't this assassination attempt even more suspicious? After all these years of waiting, why don't they wait a little longer? "

Yan Jue asked the question that had been lingering in the two's heart since the beginning.

"I think, on one hand, Wei Shao's recent actions were too arrogant, and the Shen Ji Hall was afraid of Wei Shao's bad deeds. She stopped the hundred thousand man army of food under Wei Shao's command and started to stall Wei Shao, and on the other hand, they were worried that Wei Shao's complacency had caused a lot of trouble in the Shen Ji Hall, so they had to buy some time for the imperial government to find them, and that time was on the Kaiser itself."

Yan Yuan toyed with the wine in his hand, and after taking a sip, he continued: "To them, the best outcome for the Assassins Emperor is the death of the Kaiser, and the imperial government will be in chaos. They just happen to have enough time to take care of Wei Shao, and after stabilizing the two hundred thousand strong army, they can proceed with their plans for the future."

"But what if it doesn't succeed? This isn't a good thing for them. They have no reason to act so rashly."

Yan Yuan shook his head, "It was not reckless, they had meticulously planned out the assassination this time. Last night, we had fought with the assassins, and all of us were extremely strict in our work, so even if we had more people at that time, we did not have enough chance to save the Emperor. So, at that time, even if they were unable to succeed in assassinating the Emperor, it was not difficult for the mastermind to leave."

"Are you saying that most of the arrangements for their operation last night were to ensure that the mastermind would approach the Emperor?"

"That's right."

Yan Yuan nodded his head, "Based on the situation last night, the people in charge of assassinating the Kaiser, even if they are not the people behind the scenes of the Shen Ji Hall, they are still people with high status in the Shen Ji Hall. The reason why so many assassins died last night was mostly to help that person escape, otherwise, there would be a lot of people who could escape alive."

Hearing that, Yan Jue frowned, and fell into deep thought.

Yan Yuan's voice continued to ring out, "Or maybe … There is another reason that we do not know about, which is why that person was forced to kill the Kaiser as quickly as possible. "

A trace of confusion flashed through Yan Jue's eyes, "What is the reason?"

"I don't know. Perhaps it's because …"

Yan Yuan squinted his eyes as if he had thought of something, "Alone."

"Because of a single person?"

Yan Jue was confused by his words, "Who is it?"

Yan Yuan shook his head, "I was only guessing, who exactly is it, I can't say."

Even though those words were said, a clear face flashed past Yan Yuan's mind. When such suspicions started to slowly form in his mind, he actually realized that his doubts had become extremely natural.

The two brothers talked for most of the day inside the prison. When Yan Yuan left the Sky Prison, his gaze suddenly froze. A cold aura rose from the depths of his eyes.
