In the well-proportioned courtyard,
Yan Lingji was spreading fish food bit by bit into the fake lake, causing dozens of koi to jump and swim away on the water.
Ying Ziqing, who was wearing a white robe, stood behind Yan Lingji with her hands behind her hands, looking at her cute look while feeding the fish with a smile.
"It's nice to relax like this once in a while."
At this time, Jing Xin Mo, as the chief butler, walked toward Ying Ziqing with small, clattering steps.
Looking at Ying Ziqing with his eyes slightly closed, Jing Xinmo hesitated for a moment and did not report immediately. Instead, he stood there and waited quietly.
After a while, Ying Ziqing slowly opened his eyes and said calmly:
"What do you want to report?"
"Commander, Lu Buwei is going to hold a big dinner tomorrow, and most of the officials in Xianyang City will go there, but..."
The Mirror Heart Demon paused for a moment, then held up the gilded bamboo slips in his hands.
"The butler of Lu Mansion also sent you an invitation."
Ying Ziqing took the bamboo slips with interest, and after a casual glance, there was a smile of unknown meaning on his face.
"It seems that Lu Buwei really wants to see me. Anyway, I will go and play with the Prime Minister."
Mirror Heart Demon's eyes flickered, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
He cupped his hands and said: "Commander, there are many bad people buried in the prime minister's house. As long as the commander gives the order, they will directly look for opportunities to kill Lu Buwei."
It can only be said that Wang Zai is indeed a little evil person. In terms of conspiracy and scheming, no one among the thirty-six villains can be better than him.
But Ying Ziqing said calmly:
"Now is not the time. If Lu Buwei is solved now, how can I cooperate with Ying Zheng? Moreover, my target is not only Lu Buwei, but also Lao Ai, Zhao Ji and other malignant tumors affecting Qin."
The Mirror Heart Demon suddenly came to his senses and put on a flattering smile again on his face.
"The commander-in-chief is very calculated and far-sighted. It is indeed beyond the reach of a villain."
Ying Ziqing didn't say anything, but the Mirror Heart Demon's flattery was very useful.
After all, who doesn't like a subordinate who can talk.
"Jing Xin Mo, go find out which palace Ying Zheng is in tonight. I will go and talk to him about cooperation tonight."
"As you command, Commander."
The Mirror Heart Demon carefully took out the tortoise shell from his arms and shook out a few coins inside.
With his eyes closed tightly, he kept writing something on the tortoise shell with his right hand, then threw the copper coin in, and then started shaking. At a certain moment, the copper coin suddenly fell out,
Looking at the placement of the copper coins, Jing Xin Mo already had the answer in his mind.
That's right, what Ying Ziqing said about checking was to ask the Mirror Heart Demon to predict where Ying Zheng would be tonight in advance. After all, in terms of fortune telling, well, the Mirror Heart Demon, who could even predict Gangzi's death, was quite professional.
The Mirror Heart Demon put away the divination tools, cupped his hands and said:
"Commander, the little divination has come out. Ying Zheng will be at Xuanwu Palace at midnight tonight."
Ying Ziqing could not help but feel a flash of surprise in his eyes at how quickly the Mirror Heart Demon divined.
He said with a slightly teasing tone: "If I fail, I will definitely charge you with deceiving the emperor."
Mirror Heart Demon rubbed his hands and said with a smile:
"Commander, don't worry, the young one was considered too old to die..."
The Mirror Heart Demon suddenly closed his mouth, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Ying Ziqing shook his head and laughed, scolding with a smile: "Go away, go and sort out the intelligence for me."
The Mirror Heart Demon hurriedly left with small steps.
As I walked, I thought to myself: It's okay, it's okay, I almost let it slip.

At night,
Ying Zheng in Zhangtai Palace was reviewing memorials from various places.
At this time, Gai Nie, dressed in white and holding a long sword, walked in.
He glanced at the weight next to him, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, today's memorial is enough. It's time to rest."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slip in his hand and drank the tea placed on the slip.
He stood up and straightened his royal robes.
"Tonight, I will stay at the Xuanwu Palace."
Looking at the bamboo slips that were quickly forming a hill, Ge Nie could not help but admire Ying Zheng even more. He had never seen such a diligent king.
Ying Zheng did not call the driver, but walked to Xuanwu Palace with Gai Nie.
Along the way, the black-armored swordsmen on duty on both sides of the palace road knelt down and saluted when they saw Ying Zheng.
Until after entering Xuanwu Palace,
There was no one around the palace, the imperial guards and eunuchs were nowhere to be seen, and the candlelight in the palace was not lit.
Gai Nie, who noticed something strange, took a step forward, placed the Hongyuan Sword in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, this place is strange. It is not advisable to stay for a long time."
Ying Zheng also noticed that something was wrong. When the two of them were about to exit, the heavy palace door of Xuanwu Palace slammed shut.
At this time, a tall figure wearing black armor and a black robe and a gold and iron bamboo hat suddenly appeared on the steps in front of him.
In an instant, a terrifying aura swept over the world.
Both Gai Nie and Ying Zheng turned pale. Gai Nie drew out the Hongyuan Sword and struck the ground with his sword, creating a protective circle that could barely withstand this power.
The figure turned around.
The red-gold eyes revealed a sense of indifference and domineering through the scarlet Shura mask.
A hoarse and low voice sounded, as if it came from an evil ghost under the Nine Netherworld.
"The best swordsman in the world is not that weak."
Genie listened to the ridicule without changing his expression, concentrating all his mind to deal with the sudden attack of the mysterious man in front of him.
Ying Zheng glanced at Gai Nie and saw that Gai Nie, who was already in the advanced stage of Xiantian, was struggling so hard when facing this mysterious man. He couldn't help but wonder that this mysterious man in front of him was an old monster from some sect above Xiantian.
Although Ying Zheng looked a little pale, he still said calmly:
"I wonder why you come to my palace late at night?"
"hehe…"
The next moment,
Ying Ziqing suddenly appeared in front of Gai Nie and Ying Zheng.
Gai Nie's face showed deep shock. Being approached by such a dangerous person, he didn't hesitate at all. The unsheathed Hongyuan Sword suddenly stabbed his vital part.
The situation was critical, and he knew that only those who struck first could win a chance of survival in front of this person.
The next second, a scene that surprised and even horrified Gai Nie happened.
The man in front of him clamped the Hongyuan Sword wrapped in sword intent with just two fingers.
Gai Nie wanted to withdraw the Hongyuan Sword, but found that even if his late-stage innate internal energy exploded with all his strength, he could not make the Hongyuan Sword escape.
And Ying Ziqing, who was wearing a mask, said with a little disdain:
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that you are far behind your junior brother. Hongyuan is a little more capable than Shark Teeth, but you can't escape the fate of being shattered."
Then he suddenly exerted force and threw Gai Nie and the Hongyuan Sword away. Gai Nie's body hit the wall heavily.
Gai Nie's internal organs were hit hard, and scarlet blood flowed from the corners of Gai Nie's mouth.
But he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve,
Gritting his teeth, he stood up and stared at Ying Ziqing's terrifying scarlet mask with a gloomy face.
Asked word for word:
"What happened to you, Xiaozhuang?!"
There are only three days left until I have to take the subject one test, so I've been a little busy these two days, so I'm sorry.
