Chapter 289: The Moon Goddess is in danger! Please help me again, Brother-in-law!
The Moon Goddess constantly calculated based on the trajectories of the stars before her, trying to ascertain the outcome of the Qin-Wei war.
The crowd held their breath, awaiting her deductions.
Suddenly, the Moon Goddess’s expression changed slightly.
Then, she raised her right hand.
One by one, the stars flew up toward the sky.
Like a meteor streaking across the night sky, it dissipated.
Whoosh!
The dim candlelight around brightened, signaling that the prediction was over.
“What was the result?”
Ying Zheng inquired in a deep voice.
The Moon Goddess had just displayed an extraordinary performance, making even him believe somewhat.
“Your Majesty, I report.”
The Moon Goddess lightly pressed her soft lips together and knelt to pay her respects.
“According to the astrological calculations, the final outcome of Qin’s war against Wei is Qin’s victory and Wei’s destruction.”
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, his previously calm expression relaxing.
Everyone loves to hear good news.
Although Ying Zheng could discern the twists and turns of the situation, it didn’t mean he didn’t enjoy flattery.
Hearing the Moon Goddess say that Qin would win filled everyone with joy.
The Moon Goddess pressed her supple lips together, hesitating to speak.
Ying Zheng immediately noticed and said displeased, “Speak your mind.”
The Moon Goddess didn’t expect Ying Zheng’s observational skills to be so keen.
She had only hesitated for a moment before he caught on.
Now, she had to speak up whether she wanted to or not.
She braced herself and said, “Although Qin will win, it will be a pyrrhic victory.”
“Impudent!”
As soon as the words fell, Ying Zheng coldly rebuked.
“My illustrious Qin State, brimming with talent and strong soldiers, would suffer a pyrrhic victory in conquering merely Wei?”
He stood up from his seat, the aura of an emperor revealing itself, his expression fuming with anger.
Not just him, even those around were visibly displeased.
With a great battle imminent, the Moon Goddess’s words felt like boosting others’ spirits while diminishing one’s own.
If even the Zhao State had been defeated, how could a mere Wei cause Qin significant losses?
The Moon Goddess felt a chill in her heart; she knew that saying this wouldn’t be well received.
Her prolonged hesitation was precisely for this reason.
Qin was now surging ahead, and the King of Qin was particularly spirited.
How could he tolerate such unpleasant words from the Moon Goddess?
“Hmph, you speak sorcery to confuse the masses! Yin-Yang School, I see you are not here to pledge loyalty but to act as spies!”
Ying Zheng angrily flung his sleeve and said coldly.
Nearby guards immediately showed a murderous intent and quickly surrounded her.
Pikes, reflecting cold light in the candle flame, pointed at the Moon Goddess.
As long as Ying Zheng gives the order, they will rush in without hesitation!
The guards of the royal palace are the elite among the elite, and their combat strength is significantly stronger than ordinary soldiers.
Moreover, the palace is heavily guarded both inside and out, with the number of guards reaching tens of thousands.
Even a master of the Transcendent Realm like the Moon Goddess would not be able to escape easily once surrounded!
The Moon Goddess’s expression changed drastically at that moment.
She didn’t expect Ying Zheng to be this furious.
She only spoke the truth based on her calculations.
The anger of a commoner can spill blood for five steps.
The wrath of a lord can lead to the deaths of millions.
If this incident angered Ying Zheng, the entire Yin-Yang School would be implicated.
Facing Ying Zheng’s fury, the Moon Goddess already felt a sense of fear in her heart.
Unconsciously, she turned her gaze to Li Mo.
Brother-in-law, help me one more time!
Li Mo knew that the Moon Goddess’s calculations were likely accurate; if no unexpected events happened, the battle between Qin and Wei would indeed be a loss for Wei.
But the problem is, since you calculated it, why did you have to say it out loud?
Couldn’t you have whispered it to me at home?
Or told your senior sister and let her convey the message to me?
The King of Qin already doesn’t trust you, and you have to bring up something he doesn’t want to hear.
It wouldn’t be right if he was happy about it!
You want me to help you, yet you go and overturn the bridge after crossing it.
Are you a bit lacking in common sense?
If this had been said by Li Mo, there would have been no issue at all.
Not only would there be no problem, but Ying Zheng would also humbly seek advice.
But the problem is, the Moon Goddess is not Li Mo.
Ying Zheng does not trust her!
“Your Majesty.”
After cursing inwardly for a while, Li Mo finally spoke.
For Fei Yan’s sake, I’ll help you one more time.
“Let’s hear why she said this.”
Hearing him speak, Ying Zheng’s expression immediately softened.
“Alright.”
A trace of gratitude flashed in the Moon Goddess’s eyes.
I knew you wouldn’t ignore me.
After spending time with him, she felt she had figured out Li Mo’s temperament.
That is, he’s tough on the outside but soft on the inside, receptive to kindness but resistant to hard approaches.
He understands how to cherish beauty even more.
Back then, he was willing to help the Snow Maiden despite only having met her once, let alone his own little sister-in-law!
Fortunately, Li Wu is unaware of such thoughts.
Otherwise, he would definitely tell her how he died back then.
His premise of cherishing beauty is that you haven’t touched his reverse scale.
Lü Buwei tried it, but ended up with nothing.
The Mohist Sect tried it as well, and the result was also nothing!
The Moon Goddess did not dare to waste the opportunity Li Mo had fought for her, and quickly said, “The star trajectories have predicted the warfare between Qin and Wei.
The reason Qin suffered a bitter victory is because it encountered two obstacles.”
“One is in Wei, and the other comes from the southern part of Wei.”
“That is a terrifying and fierce power.”
After the Moon Goddess finished speaking, whispers began to arise around her.
Ying Zheng pondered and asked, “What are these two powers?”
The Moon Goddess bit her lip.
Isn’t this putting someone in a difficult position!
The Yin-Yang School’s astrology can only deduce a general process and the final result.
If it could provide detailed predictions, then the Sound Illusion Box wouldn’t have been lost for so many years.
The Moon Goddess only deduced that there would be two forces acting as resistance when Qin attacked Wei.
As for the specifics, she couldn’t predict them.
Perhaps Donghuang Taiyi has that ability.
Senior Sister… might also have it, but she doesn’t want to admit it!
“They are the Wei Martial Soldiers and the Chu State.”
Just as the Moon Goddess was in a difficult position, Li Mo stepped in to help her.
The Moon Goddess cast a grateful look at him.
Otherwise, if she said she didn’t know, Ying Zheng would definitely think she was spreading misleading words.
“The Wei Martial Soldiers and the Chu State?”
Ying Zheng’s expression hardened as he repeated.
“Indeed, although the Wei Martial Soldiers are not numerous, (Zhao Wang’s) fighting ability is not to be underestimated.”
“They are all composed of heavily armored troops, capable of defeating ten enemies at once.”
“If the Moon Goddess’s deduction is true, then this resistance from Wei should be their Wei Martial Soldiers.”
Li Mo had experienced the defense of those Wei Martial Soldiers in Han State.
Back when he killed the Nameless one, he slashed the pavilion with one sword, and many Wei Martial Soldiers were buried in the pavilion, yet only suffered one injury…
Hua is not available.
This is already quite terrifying.
And another powerful force, without a doubt, is the Chu State.
Chu State is just south of Wei State.
It must be that they are taking advantage of the conflict between Qin and Wei.
Chu State has vast territory and abundant military strength.
Among the seven states, it is truly a strong nation.
Only they can deal a heavy blow to the Qin State.
After Ying Zheng listened to Li Mo’s analysis, he nodded: “It must be the National Advisor, who can easily reveal the crisis.”
The Moon Goddess pouted, feeling wronged.
Clearly, it was I who predicted this.
