The atmosphere in the study was strangely quiet. Ying Zheng had already put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and placed one hand on the hilt of the Tianwen sword. An invisible murderous aura permeated the entire study.
Zhao Gao and the Imperial Army commander held their breaths, as if a needle had fallen to the ground and made a crisp sound.
"How did you guard this huge Xianyang Palace?”Ying Zheng stood up and walked up to the commander of the Imperial Army, looking down at him from above. At this moment, the majesty of an emperor was pressing down on him crazily.
Beads of sweat rolled down the Imperial Army Commander's forehead.
Swoosh!
The Tianwen sword was unsheathed, and a piercing sword light cut through the sky before returning to its sheath.
After the sword light passed, the Imperial Army commander fell to the ground with wide eyes, blood slowly flowing out of his body.
"Get someone to clean this place up." Ying Zheng stepped over the dead body of the commander of the Imperial Army and walked out. Zhao Gao followed closely behind him, knowing that a storm had already formed. When the emperor was enraged, corpses would float thousands of miles away.
In Xianyang Palace, inside Li Ji's courtyard, Li Ji, who was of ordinary birth, had a beauty that no one in the world could hope to reach. She looked fat by one point, and thin by one point. Her figure was just right, and her exquisite appearance was as if it was a masterpiece of the heavens, just like a doll that God had meticulously created, and then accidentally lost her in the human world.
Unfortunately, such a woman did not love the emperor, but the number one swordsman in the world.
The world's number one swordsman and the world's number one emperor.
Perhaps a chivalrous man could possess the heart of a beauty, but an emperor could possess the body of a beauty. The only thing that Ying Zheng regretted was that Li Ji was still carrying Jing Ke's child in her stomach.
But this didn't matter. His love for Li Ji had already reached deep into his bones. The position of Empress that he had always been vacant, no, it should be said that the position of Empress was now open to this woman. He doted on this 19th son, Tianming, who was not related by blood at all, even more than Huhai.
Unfortunately, Li Ji disdained this!
After Jing Ke failed to assassinate Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng had thought of killing Li Ji and Jing Tianming in his rage. But, after seeing Li Ji's face, he could not bring himself to do so.
In the end, he could only choose to put the two of them under house arrest in Xianyang Palace. He did not expect that Jing Tianming would actually escape from Xianyang Palace today. It was even possible that he had already escaped from Xianyang City.
If you don't get rid of the roots, there will be endless trouble.
Jing Ke's sword strike still made Ying Zheng dream about it at night. He could tolerate Jing Tianming still living in Xianyang Palace, but he would never allow Jing Tianming to escape from this palace.
His slender arm grabbed Li Ji's fair neck.
"You have disappointed me."
Bang!
Throwing Li Ji onto the ground, Ying Zheng could not bear to lay his hands on this woman. He turned to Zhao Gao and said,"Kill her. The net will go after Ge Nie and Jing Tianming with all its might."”
Lord Wuxiang's Residence.
The big plaque had already been changed. Today, Mu Wu finally had a small force that belonged to him in this ancient city.
Looking at the newly received news in his hands, Mu Wu's expression was slightly surprised. Ge Nia had actually defected today. No wonder Ying Zheng hated him so much that he even wanted to tear him apart.
Tsk tsk, what an important day! The taciturn Mister Ge Nia had just poured cold water on Ying Zheng. He had just ascended the throne, and his most trusted subordinate had already defected.
Recalling that Ge Nia was nowhere to be seen on the pole, Mu Wu felt a little strange. What reason did Ge Nia use to make Ying Zheng allow him not to participate in the ceremony, and to make use of the fact that all the defensive forces of Xianyang Palace were gathered at the main hall to escape from the palace?
Moreover, why did Ge Nia separate from Jing Tianming? Could it be that Ge Nie didn't take Jing Tianming away? Was the news wrong?
Mu Wu habitually propped his head with his left hand and gently massaged his temples with his index finger.
Ling Die looked at the report and asked curiously,""Is Ge Nia's defection serious? He is just a swordsman, and I have heard some rumors about Jing Tianming when I was in Xianyang Palace.”
At this point, she stopped.
" The rumors are true," Mu Wu said with a smile." The 19th son, Tianming, isn't my father's biological son. But you'll never guess who his biological father is."”
"Who is it?"
Seeing Mu Wu like this, the spirit butterfly became curious.
"Jing Ke."
"What?!"
Ling Die looked at Mu Wu in shock. After confirming that Mu Wu was right, she muttered,"How is that possible? How was this possible? Father didn't kill her? This is simply, simply..."
"Incredible, right?" Mu Wu sighed and asked curiously," I also find it inconceivable. I've never seen Li Ji before and really can't imagine how beautiful she is. She actually made Imperial Father leave Jing Tianming's life after the assassination incident of Jing Ke. Cutting the weeds without removing the roots is a great taboo.”
Ling Die finally digested this unbelievable fact and asked,"But what does this have to do with us?”
"Don't underestimate Ge Nia. Phantom Valley has been mysterious for generations, and every generation of disciples has the ability to turn the clouds and rain upside down. Although Ge Nia and Wei Zhuang of this generation came into being with swords in their hands, their strength cannot be underestimated. If we're not careful, the empire might really be destroyed by these people. Don't think that I'm exaggerating. The bugs and rats in the dark are accumulating strength and trying to destroy this empire.”
Mu Wu mocked mercilessly.
Ling Die understood Mu Wu's intention and said,"Are you planning to interfere? However, would that make that position even more stable?”
Mu Wu knew what she meant was that she was worried that Ying Zheng's position would be stabilized if he was dealt too much of a blow, which would reduce his chances of ascending the throne. After all, as a son of a concubine, the more muddy the waters of the empire were, the more likely he would be able to ascend to the throne!
"It doesn't matter. These people don't just want to muddy the waters, they want the empire to collapse.”
