The atmosphere in Xianyang Palace was more tense than usual. All the maids and servants lowered their heads and stared at their toes. Ever since Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Xianyang Palace was like the night before a storm.
In Ying Zheng's study, Eunuch Ma was still serving beside Ying Zheng. Zhao Gao was usually not needed at times like this.
Ying Zheng knew very well what Zhao Gao was thinking, but he had the confidence of an emperor. As long as he was alive, Zhao Gao would always be a dog.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng put down his pen. He recalled the shadow that blocked his way when Jing Ke killed him in five steps. This was his second son that he had only recently paid attention to.
"The merit of saving the emperor?" Ying Zheng murmured, a complicated look in his deep eyes.
Mu Wu naturally didn't know about this. His injuries were basically caused by the remnant rainbow and Jing Ke's baleful aura. After recuperating for a few days, he got out of bed. He knew very well that he had already fought for the opportunity with his life. What he needed next was his own hard work.
To expand his own forces.
"Little Xue, can I exchange for a Marrow Refinement level saber technique now?”
"Sure." Snowy's sweet voice came. Ever since he started practicing martial arts, he hadn't practiced the knife skills that the system had given him according to his level. Those knife skills such as the Peng family knife and the fast knife were too low-level.
It wasn't that Mu Wu looked down on these saber techniques, but he would rather practice with Wang Ben over and over again if he wanted to improve his foundation.
With Wang Ben's guidance and his own hard work, his basic swordsmanship had reached a limit that could not be achieved with pure Qi.
With the help of the special energy that he had accumulated with the spirit butterfly these days, he could finally exchange about 100 drops of essence blood for a Marrow Refinement level saber technique. This was a blade technique at the peak of the Postliminary Realm. Naturally, it was not something that ordinary blade techniques could compare to.
Ding!
Saber technique exchange completed.
[Overlord Blade] Level: Marrow Refinement Level [Exchange price: 100 drops of blood essence][Saber Technique Ability: Able to emit powerful saber rays and train the host's heart to a certain extent.]
"Thank you, Snowy."
There was no reply for a long time, but Mu Wu was already used to it. He smiled and then became a little happy.
"Ba Dao, Ba Dao. The saber technique of Guihai Yidao from World's Best? Marrow Refinement realm was considered the top in the world.”
In his mind, a figure kept appearing, and it kept concealing Ba Dao's saber technique and the true energy circulation path. These were all compatible, and what kind of internal energy was required to use what kind of martial arts in the world.
However, the Art of Longevity that Chen Gong practiced could control all the martial arts in the world, and his recovery speed was extremely fast. Chen Gong had gained some advantages.
Swoosh!
A domineering and sharp saber light instantly slashed out, shattering the fake mountain in the Martial Herder's courtyard in an instant!
"So strong!"
Mu Wu said in a low voice. However, when he saw that the treasured saber in his hand was already covered in cracks because it could not withstand the powerful force of the Overpowering Saber, Mu Wu sighed slightly.
"Looks like I still have to find a good saber.”
"Young Master." Ling Die walked over and looked at the rockery that had almost turned into a pile of rubble. Her mouth was slightly open as she sized up Mu Wu with some surprise.
"Hehe, it's a pity that this saber is useless.”Mu Wu said as he hugged Ling Die.
Ling Die rolled her eyes at him and said,""Why don't you go to His Majesty's treasury to take a look?”
Mu Wu was stunned. That's right, there must be many good things in the Great Qin treasury. He might even be able to find a treasured saber. Thinking of this, Mu Wu became happy. He cupped the face of the spirit butterfly with both hands and kissed its red cheeks.
Ignoring the red face of the spirit butterfly, he ran towards Ying Zheng's study.
"Your Majesty." Ma Gonggong shouted softly.
"What is it?"
"Young Master Mu Wu is here. He seems to have something to ask for an audience.”
"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his head, a surprised look on his face."Let him in."”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Ma left quietly, then led Mu Wu into Ying Zheng's study room for the second time. Thinking about how he had angered Ying Zheng to death here last time, he felt a little strange coming in now.
As soon as he entered, he found Ying Zheng reading the memorials. Mu Wu's lips twitched slightly. It was not easy to be an Emperor. Even though he had three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, he felt that Ying Zheng spent most of his time in this study.
Especially the pile of bamboo slips that was almost as tall as a person. Mu Wu felt like he was about to faint. When he climbed up to that position, he would definitely reform the three provinces and six ministries to share his responsibilities.
Thinking about these things, Mu Wu knelt on the ground and bowed."Your son greets father."
When one was under the eaves, one had no choice but to lower one's head. Kneeling is fine, it's just letting me off easy.
Ying Zheng didn't even raise his head as he said,""Are your injuries healed?"
"Father, it's already done.”
"Then you can go with your big brother to discuss state affairs.”
Counsellor my ass, in the entire Great Qin Country, who would listen to me? He should take control of the army first.
"Royal Father, it's enough to have big brother in the court. I'm stupid and I'm afraid I can't help much.”
"Oh?"
Ying Zheng looked at his second son, who was kneeling on the ground, with interest, and said with a rare smile,""Didn't you work so hard and almost lose your life for this? Why was he unwilling now? Let me remind you, after this village, there won't be this shop.”
Mu Wu was slightly stunned. Did Ying Zheng really see through it, or was he suspecting?
"It is my duty to protect father.”
"Haha." Ying Zheng smiled. "Then why are you here?”
"I don't have a good saber to practice with, so I hope father will allow me to choose a saber from the national treasury.”
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes. For some reason, the study seemed to have an additional trace of depression.
"Go ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wu saw Ying Zheng waving his hand. Thus, he respectfully left with Eunuch Ma.
"Practicing the saber, heh." Ying Zheng murmured in a low voice, but unfortunately, these Mu Wu couldn't hear him.
(PS: Because of the plot, the order and timeline of the destruction of the Six Nations here is slightly different from the official history and Qin Dynasty.）
