Chapter 1344: I Know Better Than You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone knew that Empress Dowager Minde heavily believed in life after death. They also knew that Empress Dowager Minde had always been afraid of death, which was why she had shouted and screamed her lungs out when the previous Emperor had died. She was afraid that she would have the same short life as the previous Emperor. Therefore, everyone naturally understood why she was worrying about her life in their hearts, but no one dared to say it out loud.

Even if they did, they would only discuss it in private.

It was as if their Empress Dowager was a joke.

If Empress Dowager Minde hadn’t promised to help Xue Wufu, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan wouldn’t have secretly followed the large group of people who went to protect her.

On this side, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were following them closely. On the other side, in the Beicheng’s royal palace, Fu Xu had just sent a few young masters who looked like they were from the upper class into the palace.

On the day of the hunt, Fu Xu had reported this matter to Fu Ying. In order to numb Fu Xu and make him lower his guard, Fu Ying naturally agreed to receive more men. That was why those young masters were sent to the palace today.

Fu Ying gave some palaces in the palace for those young masters to stay. It could be considered as being loved and favored by the Empress.

When Xue Wuhu saw the young masters sent over from Fu Xu’s residence, he did not know why he felt a pang in his heart. He suddenly felt depressed. Now that Fu Ying was acting like this, whether he was pretending or not, he felt even more depressed. He huffed and puffed and did not want to talk to Fu Ying anymore. However, the silence was too uncomfortable. He still carried his flag and led the young eunuchs to the fake mountain in the garden to play.

Fu Ying noticed from the corner of her eye that Xue Wuhu was quiet with her, but he was happily chatting and laughing with those young masters, as if she didn’t see Xue Wuhu leave sullenly.

At the same time, in Prince Xu’s estate.

Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing were both dressed in black. They were no longer wearing black cloaks or masks, but they had taken black face cloths to cover their faces. Fu Xu still did not know what they looked like, so naturally, no one else did.

Fu Xu only glanced at them before instructing the people beside him in a low voice. “Don’t listen to them. If anything goes wrong, retreat immediately.”

It was also because he did not trust these two people enough that he still followed the plan and sent those young masters into the palace to Fu Ying.

“Yes, sir!” The people around him immediately accepted the order.

People in the post-apocalyptic world had evolved to a certain extent. Even zombies had evolved. Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing naturally had good hearing, but even if they heard Fu Xu’s words, they didn’t say anything.

They were just trying to make use of Fu Xu, not to make him trust them completely.

Although Shao Shuting’s posture was lazy, he vigilantly whispered to Huo Wenqing, “After you lure her away, your task is to delay time and delay her. You can’t let her realize that this is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain and use the space. If you really can’t delay time, take off your veil and expose who you are. She knows you, so she will listen to you and chat with you. Even if it’s just a few words, it’s enough to stall for time. Sometimes, just a few seconds can bring you to success.”

“I know better than you.” Huo Wenqing didn’t appreciate the harping. When that time came, he would know what to do even without the person in front of him reminding him.

Shao Shuting sighed. “I’m determined that we won’t see the sun tomorrow. I don’t want to fail.”

“Stop being so long-winded.” Huo Wenqing still didn’t appreciate his kindness and complained that he was too long-winded.

Shao Shuting laughed out loud. Then, he stopped talking and walked towards Fu Xu. He said to Fu Xu, “They’ve already left the city. It’s time to set up an ambush.”
