The night sky was dark. The moon hung high in the dark night sky, giving off a faint yellow light. It seemed like a fairy was dancing on the moon. In the quiet Xianyang City, there was no sound except for the occasional patrolling soldiers and the vigilant barking dogs.
The vast and domineering Xianyang City entered a period of rest.
On the tall city walls, Great Qin's elite soldiers did not feel sleepy at all. Their eyes were as big as the bells of a cow as they stared at the pitch-black night sky.
Whoosh!
There was a soft sound as if a wind had blown past. The vigilant soldiers turned their heads to look. Under the light of the fire, they did not find any traces of anyone. They were probably a little nervous. Yesterday, during the ceremony, the Sword Saint of the Empire, Ge Nia, had defected from Xianyang City. The emperor was furious, and the entire Xianyang City was in chaos.
The Qin army didn't give up on any corner, but they still couldn't find Ge Nia even after midnight. Helplessly, they could only confirm that Ge Nia had already escaped Xianyang City. The first arrest warrant of the new empire was also issued, with a reward of 50,000 gold!
When he thought of the 50,000 gold, the soldier couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He should be able to play in the Purple Pavilion over a hundred times. It was a pity that he wasn't lucky enough to obtain this reward.
On the smooth wall of the inner side of the city tower, a black shadow was like a nimble bird. In a few leaps, it avoided the patrolling soldiers and landed on the ground. His body was extremely fast, and he walked like a cat without making a single sound.
This person came to the notice board in front of the city gate with a wanted poster. On it was a portrait of an adult man. This person frowned slightly, as if he had not found what he needed.
If Mu Wu was here, he would have noticed that this person was Ge Nia.
After he escaped from Xianyang City, in order to ensure Jing Tianming's safety, he lured away the assassins from the net and killed them all. When he returned to the valley, he found that there was no one there!
Jing Tianming had disappeared, and so had the seven people who had stayed behind to protect him. There was no blood at the scene, and there were no signs of a fight. Ge Nia was confused.
However, as a top-notch expert, he could sense a faint dangerous aura in the air. He determined that someone must have been here, and it was an expert. At the very least, those seven people did not have the ability to resist!
After thinking about it, Ge Nia felt that only the empire had the motive and power to hunt them down. In order to confirm whether Jing Tianming had been captured or not, he had no choice but to return to Xianyang.
He originally planned to see if there was a warrant for Jing Tianming's arrest on the notice board. If there was no warrant, he might have been caught. If there was, he might not have been caught yet.
However, the result was that things had developed in a bad direction.
There was no arrest warrant for Jing Tianming on the notice board. Ge Nia's heart gradually sank. As he looked around, he felt a deep sense of guilt. He felt that he had let down his good friend Jing Ke's trust.
In the distance, another group of soldiers walked over. Ge Nia's figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
Just a moment ago, he had a plan in his heart. He wanted to go to the prison in Xianyang City to see if Jing Tianming was locked up there.
There were two prison cells in Xianyang City. One was used to hold all kinds of criminals, and the other was used to hold the most vicious people. Sheng Qi was locked in the Death Prison. Although Jing Tianming's identity was important, he was just a child. It was impossible for him to be imprisoned in the death row.
Moreover, if there was no one in the prison, it could only be in the palace. He might have to break into Xianyang Palace again!
In Lord Wu Xiang's manor, the candles had not been extinguished the entire night. On the brocade blanket, two fair arms rested on it. Between the long black hair, a shocking whiteness was faintly discernible. A low moan came from the somewhat messy bed.
Mu Wu rubbed his eyes and looked at Ling Die and Nongyu on his left and right. He chuckled. His goal of sleeping with Big One had finally been realized last night. Life was really enough.
As she thought about it, she laughed even more happily. Unknowingly, the flames in her heart burned again. She hugged the two of them and was thinking about whether she should have a morning exercise when there was an urgent knock on the door.
"Young Master, Xianyang Palace is here.”It was Zhang San's voice, and it was so urgent. Something must have happened.
Mu Wu's heart jumped, and his sensitive senses told him that it had something to do with Ge Nia. For some reason, it was his intuition.
"Hurry up and get up. It looks like something big has happened.”Ling Die hurriedly said. Nongyu, who was beside her, also opened her eyes. Her black gem-like eyes carried a trace of laziness. It turned out that the two of them had woken up long ago, but they were too embarrassed to face each other.
At this time, Mu Wu couldn't be bothered to tease them. He kissed their red lips, put on his clothes, and went out.
As for Nongyu and Lingdie, their faces were red and they didn't dare to look at each other.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Eunuch Ma personally waiting at the door with an anxious expression. Zhang San also had a panicked expression, and the bad feeling in his heart became even deeper.
"What happened?" Before Zhang San could speak, Eunuch Ma had already come up to him and said,"Young Master, hurry up. His Majesty is going to kill someone!”
Mu Wu's heart skipped a beat. What was going on? Was he suddenly going to kill someone?
Zhang San whispered into his ear and explained," According to the news, someone broke into Xianyang Palace last night. After being discovered by the guards, a battle broke out. More than ten guards died, and that person was also injured. However, he managed to escape in the end. More importantly, the battle took place in Zhangtai Palace, where the Emperor lived. Moreover, it was said that the intruder was Ge Nia!”
"What?"
Mu Wu stopped in his tracks in shock. Hadn't Ge Nia already escaped from Xianyang City? Why did he come back? Moreover, there was no such trip in the original novel. What was going on?
Mu Wu simply washed his face, then followed Eunuch Ma and hurried towards Xianyang Palace. Mu Wu did not even need to go there to know that Ying Zheng must be in a thunderous rage right now!
After Jing Ke's assassination attempt, Ying Zheng had already developed an extreme dislike for assassinations. Back then, he had assassinated Ji Wuye, which had made him feel disgusted. Now that Ge Nie had come again, he was afraid that the guards of the palace were going to be in deep trouble.
He was not familiar with the guards of Xianyang Palace, and he did not intend to stop Ying Zheng. At this moment, Ying Zheng was like a pile of gunpowder, exploding at will. There was no need to cause trouble for himself. Although it would not be good for those guards who were about to be killed, there was nothing he could do.
