About a day!
Maurya!
Inside the capital of Dengtian City!
Shi Jingzhong sat proudly on the throne, examining the military reports coming from the borderlands.
"Wanwan!"
"You did a great job on this!"
"The Qin army has no food and grass supplies, and its defeat is just a matter of time!"
Princess Heyu smiled and said: "It is my honor to be able to share my father's worries!"
"I heard that the high priest seems to be a little uneasy recently?"
Hearing this, Shi Jingzhong's face immediately darkened, he slapped his palm heavily on the king's chair, and said coldly: "They are just a defeated nobleman who has passed away!"
"No one can stop me from abolishing the caste system!"
"The king is ready to take action against the high priest at the right time and eradicate the Brahmin lineage in the court in one fell swoop!"
"However, before that, we must achieve a great victory in the battle with Qin!"
"My son is willing to share his father's worries."
"Um!"
Shi Jingzhong nodded appreciatively and said majestically: "Wanwan, please step back first!"
"Father, there are still some state affairs that need to be discussed with the state advisor!"
"Here!"
Princess Heyu bowed her hands and slowly retreated from the palace.
Da da da!
Shi Jingzhong slowly walked down the high platform, and Mo Cangli stepped forward and said, "I wonder how the king plans to deal with these Qin troops?"
Shi Jingzhong's eyes narrowed slightly and he said coldly: "The failure of the last operation allowed the high priest to seize the opportunity. Although it was remedied, it still had a considerable impact."
"This time, there must be no mistakes!"
"This matter must not be made public, lest the high priest secretly sabotage it!"
Mo Cangli nodded heavily, bowed his hands and said, "Old minister, I understand!"
"The old minister immediately went to the Mingwang Palace and informed the palace master of the matter."
"Um!"
…
night!
High Priest's House!
In the secret room!
The high priest sat cross-legged on the main seat, meditating and practicing.
call!
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew by.
The high priest, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight ahead.
Da da da!
Slow footsteps gradually came from the darkness.
The black cloak wraps up the entire body of the future person.
But the high priest had already guessed the other party's identity.
A faint smile appeared on his cheeks.
The high priest slowly stood up and said kindly: "Ghost! You are finally here!"
"Um!"
A low voice sounded in the empty secret room, as if someone was choking it.
"The two bishops of Mingwang Palace have confirmed the news that there is no food in the Qin army camp!"
"The king is preparing to use troops against Da Qin in the near future!"
The high priest nodded and said, "It's just what you expected!"
"However, your visit this time should not only bring such news, right?"
Based on the high priest's understanding of ghosts, although such news is a secret, it is not worthy of ghosts coming in person.
After all, the identity of the ghost is kept secret in the dynasty!
Even the high priest has never seen the true face of ghosts with his own eyes.
The words fell for a few breaths or so.
An unwavering voice came out from under the black cloak again: "The king is ready to take action against you!"
"This time, I'm afraid I'm going to uproot the entire Brahmin lineage in one go!"
"oh?!"
The high priest's expression moved slightly, and a strange color finally flashed across his calm face.
"It seems that the king has finally made up his mind?"
The high priest whispered to himself.
But it seems like he is asking the ghost...
"I won't take action easily until the last minute!"
"You should make preparations as soon as possible!"
After saying that, the ghost didn't linger too long, and its figure disappeared into the darkness again.
"Ah!"
The high priest chuckled and stared in the direction where the ghost disappeared.
"I really look forward to your true identity! Even such news can be known to you!"
"Who on earth could you be?"
…
at the same time!
Da Qin!
The 18th Young Master Hu Hai’s Mansion!
The moon star is rare!
Hu Hai sat in the study, reading ancient books quietly.
call out!
Then an afterimage flashed by, and the man in black appeared beside Hu Hai.
"Greetings, sir!"
After he finished speaking, Hu Hai kept his attention on the ancient book and said with great interest: "I didn't expect that there are so many interesting things in this book!"
"It seems that time was really wasted earlier!"
The man in black said respectfully: "With His Highness's qualifications, it's not too late to take a look now!"
"hehe!"
Hu Hai sneered, his eyes flashing brightly, and he said coldly: "How are the arrangements for the things I told you?"
"Reporting to the Young Master, there are currently nearly 300 people lurking in Xianyang City. In addition, there are about 500 people in the border areas."
"Now, all we need is an order from the young master!"
When Hu Hai heard this, a flash of sadness flashed in his cold eyes, and he sighed: "Do they know what is waiting for them?"
The man in black said respectfully, "Master, please rest assured!"
"These eight hundred people, without exception, can all die for the Young Master!"
"Is it!"
The sadness on Hu Hai's cheeks was then replaced by a bloodthirsty sneer.
"Then tell them to do it!"
"When the day comes that this young master takes over the world, you will be the pillar of the Qin Dynasty! This young master will be my loyal minister!"
"As for those who have died, they will also be remembered by future generations!"
After the words fell, the man in black knelt down respectfully and said, "It is an honor for me to die for you!"
When Hu Hai heard this, he waved his hands calmly and said, "Step back!"
"This young master is a little tired!"
"Here!"
…
The hour is approaching!
The world fell into silence!
But suddenly!
A bright light suddenly flashed across the sky!
Suddenly, fires shot into the sky near Xicheng District of Xianyang!
The sound was extremely noisy.
Whoosh!
Afterimages flashed past quickly, seemingly chasing each other...
Prince's Mansion!
On the bed in the main room.
Ying Ziye suddenly opened his eyes.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Bai Ying asked with sleepy eyes and confusion.
Ying Ziye looked out at the night sky through the window and said coldly: "Something's not right!"
"Um?!"
Bai Ying screamed in surprise, and just as he was about to ask, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the main room.
"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has come to see you for something important."
When Ying Ziye heard this, his expression was cold and he said, "Sure enough!"
"Tell the Prime Minister to wait a moment!"
"Here!"
Then the maid bowed and retreated. Ying Ziye stood up and said, "Madam, please rest first!"
"Husband, go and see what's going on."
"Um!"
"Husband, be careful!" Bai Ying said with concern.
Ying Ziye nodded slightly and hurriedly left the main room.
In the main hall!
Li Si was lingering and waiting.
As the sound of footsteps came, Li Si quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Highness!"
Ying Ziye waved his hand and said solemnly: "No need to be polite, but those people took action?"
Li Si nodded slightly and said: "Exactly, I have arranged for the guards to be sent out against Liusha and the city!"
Ying Ziye's face darkened and he said, "What's going on?"
"Reporting to your highness, these people set fire to Xianyang like they suddenly went crazy without any warning!"
"From what they said, it seems that because of the previous destruction of the Western Region, the fire in Xianyang today was also for revenge!"
"I have arranged for the imperial guards and Ni Liusha to arrest him in the shortest possible time and put this matter to rest!" Li Si said with a cupped hand.
The words fell.
However, Ying Ziye was not in a hurry to answer Li Si's words.
In the empty main hall, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of Ying Ziye pacing.
"The Western Regions have been destroyed for a long time, and the rest have been absorbed by the Qin Dynasty!"
"It can be said that the lives of people in the Western Regions are better now than before!"
"Why do they want revenge?"
Facing Ying Ziye's question, Li Si pondered: "Your Highness, you mean that they are not from the Western Regions?"
"But someone wants to use the name of the Western Region to cause trouble?"
Ying Ziye shook his head and said, "No! But they probably have other purposes!"
At this moment, the maid hurried to the main hall and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, Prime Minister, someone from the palace has come to convey the decree. Your Majesty, please enter the palace immediately to see the Holy Spirit."
Ying Ziye and Li Si looked at each other, nodded slightly and said, "I know it!"
Then Ying Ziye and Li Si quickly left the Prince's Mansion and took a carriage to Xianyang Palace.
About half an incense stick!
Inside Zhangtai Palace!
Li Xin, the leader of Heibingtai, knelt on one knee and worshiped in the temple.
On the dragon platform, the First Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep.
Da da da!
Suddenly, the sound of gentle footsteps could be heard outside the palace, and the eunuch who served at the palace quickly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness and the Prime Minister are already waiting outside the palace."
"Here!"
Soon after the eunuchs withdrew, Ying Ziye and Li Si walked into the palace one after another.
"My son, I, pay my respects to my father, His Majesty!"
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Father (Your Majesty)!"
The First Emperor stood majestically on the dragon platform, calmly speaking with authority: "Ye'er! Have you heard about what happened in Xianyang City?"
Ying Ziye nodded slightly.
"Li Xin, tell Ye'er what you know!" the First Emperor said majestically.
"Here!"
Li Xin bowed his hands and said seriously: "According to His Majesty's order, I led Heibingtai to search and arrest them, and found that the identities of these people are undoubtedly from the Western Regions!"
"What's suspicious is that all of these people are determined to die!"
"Even if it is revenge, it should not be chosen near Xicheng District, but in the center of Xianyang..."
Having said this, Li Xin instantly realized the faux pas in his words and said in panic: "Your Majesty, please calm down, my ministers..."
The First Emperor waved his hand casually and said: "Keep talking!"
"Here!"
After getting the approval of the First Emperor, Li Xin continued his analysis: "If they really wanted to take revenge, they would definitely choose to target His Majesty! But they didn't do that!"
"But unfortunately, these people have already avenged their death. When I sent Heibingtai to arrest them, they all committed suicide."
"It's really suspicious!"
When Ying Ziye heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "Reporting to the emperor, my son and the prime minister also had a brief discussion before coming, which is exactly the same as General Li Xin's analysis!"
"Their purpose is by no means as simple as restoring the country!"
"According to the Prime Minister's secret investigation, these people were also related to the theft of the imperial defense map!"
"What?!"
The First Emperor's face suddenly darkened, a chill flashed through his eyes, and he said coldly: "So, these people from the Western Regions are very likely to be related to the Mauryan Dynasty?"
Ying Ziye nodded slightly and said, "The Mauryan Dynasty is the only possibility now!"
"Earlier, I thought that they sneaked into Da Qin to investigate Da Qin's raising of food and grass!"
"But now it seems that things are not that simple! It's just that I haven't guessed their true purpose yet!"
At this moment, a cry suddenly sounded outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Something bad is going to happen!"
