At the ceremony, all the officials looked at Mu Wu with envy. What a glorious title, Lord Wu Xiang. They couldn't help but sigh at how much the Emperor valued the second young master.
Mu Wu did not pay much attention to the series of rewards that followed. He was even a little distracted, not because of the glory, but because of the uneasiness in his heart. At the beginning, Ying Zheng's warning gaze, as well as this somewhat special title, Lord Wu Xiang, was indeed an impressive title. But how did Lord Wu An of the previous dynasty, Baiqi, die?
King Zhao of Qin had ordered him to die. What was the reason? Because someone confessed to rebellion. Just like that, the famous Killing God Baiqi was ordered to die by Prince Zhao of Qin.
He still remembered a conversation between Ying Zheng and Fu Su in the Qin Dynasty, about how Lord Wu 'an was sentenced to death.
Baiqi told Prince Zhao of Qin that he did not rebel. Prince Zhao of Qin said,"I know." Baiqi asked,"Then why did you give me the death penalty?" Prince Zhao of Qin replied,"Because you have the ability to rebel."
Mu Wu did not have the ability to rebel for the time being, but it did not mean that he would not have the ability in the future. Ying Zheng was still at the peak of his life, and Mu Wu naturally did not have the courage to fight with this one emperor of the ages.
But what if Ying Zheng was old? In other words, if Ying Zheng really wanted Fu Su to inherit the throne, would he, before he died, help his eldest son to get rid of this illegitimate son, who was not born to a concubine he liked, and who was completely capable of threatening Fu Su's throne, for the sake of the stability of Great Qin and the smooth delivery of the throne?
The answer was obvious.
Mu Wu closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. Ying Zheng was giving him glory, but also a warning. If he did well, Lord Wu Xiang's name would be passed down through the ages. If he did not do well, he, Mu Wu, would be the next Baiqi.
Thinking of this, Mu Wu let out a self-mocking laugh. Ying Zheng really thought highly of him, comparing him to that killing god.
However, even so, would he yield? Ying Zheng, you think too highly of my ability, but you underestimate my ambition. I'm already twenty years old, and I might not even be able to wait until the day you die."
At that time, I won't just get rid of Fu Su, I'm afraid I'll also get rid of you.
After the ceremony ended, Wang Jian and his son walked past Mu Wu. Both of them nodded. It was not a good time to contact each other at this time. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to associate them with each other. Moreover, there was no need to contact each other now.
When Huhai passed by Mu Wu, he glared at him with hatred and snorted,""A villain is successful!"
Mu Wu revealed a dangerous smile."Eighteenth brother, sometimes it's not good to be too arrogant. The more arrogant a person is, the easier it is for him to meet someone even more arrogant than him.。。”
Mu Wu walked to his side, looked at him, and slashed his neck with one hand!
Huhai was shocked. Murderous intent shot out from Muwu's eyes mercilessly. After entering the Spirit Refining Realm, Muwu's martial arts was already considered an expert. It was easy to scare a child like Huhai.
"Right, next year, you will be at the age to be crowned. Is the residence outside ready? Why don't I give you a set as your brother?”
Before Mu Wu left, he turned around and smiled.
Huhai became even more furious. Fu Su had moved into Ganquan Palace, and Mu Wugong had been conferred the title of Lord Wuxiang. He was the only one who was still a little kid in Xianyang Palace!
From afar, Zhao Gao came over and cupped his fists."Congratulations, Lord Wu Xiang."
Looking at the other party's fake smile, Mu Wu laughed and said,"Lord Zhao, your master is there. Don't mistake him for someone else.”Mu Wu pointed at Huhai behind him and patted Zhao Gao's shoulder. Then, he said as he walked past him,""Lord Zhao, the net is a lethal weapon. A lethal weapon can hurt others as well as yourself. Moreover, Lord Zhao, the most important thing for a person is to know their place. You have to distinguish what you should think about and what you shouldn't think about. Otherwise, you might even lose what you have.”
Zhao Gao's entire body trembled, but he did not show it on his face. He only hoped to see something from Mu Wu's face, but the other party's smiling appearance made him unable to see anything.
"Zhao Gao is a crippled person. He is already very grateful to Your Majesty for having his current status. How could he have any delusions?”
Mu Wu laughed and brushed past him.
Of course, Zhao Gao knew what Mu Wu meant, but he was afraid that Mu Wu would see through his thoughts. Among the young masters, Fu Su, Mu Wu, and Huhai were the easiest to fight for the position. Fu Su was upright and did not like eunuchs interfering in politics, so Zhao Gao would not seek refuge with him.
In the past, Mu Wu was not qualified to compete for the throne, so Zhao Gao chose Huhai. But now, Mu Wu was qualified. Moreover, Mu Wu was somewhat similar to Ying Zheng, unlike Fu Su, who had a clear distinction between black and white. But why did Zhao Gao still choose to support Huhai, who had the least hope?
This was because Huhai was easy to control, but Mu Wu was clearly not someone Zhao Gao could control. Zhao Gao was coveting the highest authority.
Mu Wu had been warning him just now. After Mu Wu walked past, both Huhai and Zhao Gao broke out in cold sweat. Huhai was afraid of death, while Zhao Gao was afraid that Mu Wu had seen through his thoughts.
No matter what, the two of them regarded Mu Wu as their greatest enemy. No, to be precise, it was only Huhai. Although Zhao Gao coveted that power, this thought had not really taken root and sprouted. It could only be said to be like a dream. Therefore, although Zhao Gao was wary of Mu Wu, he was fighting in his heart. Should he change teams?
Inside Ying Zheng's study in Xianyang Palace, Zhao Gao was standing beside him.
While reading the memorial, Ying Zheng asked,""Is there anything unusual about Mu Wu?"
As soon as the ceremony ended, Ying Zheng began to read through the memorials, which showed how diligent he was.
"No, I haven't." Zhao Gao replied.
Ying Zheng responded with an 'oh' in surprise, but then he stopped talking. No one knew what he was thinking about.
At this moment, the urgent voice of an Imperial Army Marshal came from outside.
"Come in."
"What is it?"
The Imperial Army commander knelt on the ground, his tone slightly anxious."Your Majesty, Ge Nia has disappeared with Young Master Tianming!”
The study suddenly fell silent.
