The commoners looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief. There was only one doubt among them.
Was this true?
Was it the Golden Fire Cavalry who had killed Lao Ai, or the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army?
Lao Ai was conferred the title of Marquis Changxin, and with the help of Lady Zhao's Tiger Tally, he had gained the command of an army from all directions in Xianyang. He had even spread the word that the real Ying Zheng was dead, and that the one alive now was a fake king.
At that time, the citizens of Yong City were shrouded in an atmosphere of fear. Many people packed up their belongings and prepared to escape.
However, not long after, Lao Ai was killed?
Other than the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Hundred Battle Armor-Piercing Army, the citizens of Yong City and the surrounding cities did not believe that there were other soldiers with such terrifying combat strength.
"Great victory in Xianyang! Lao Ai was killed."
The news brought by the soldiers could not be false! Lao Ai, who had intended to launch a mutiny in the Great Qin Empire, was destroyed not long after. The people believed him, and immediately cheered loudly,
"Great Qin is invincible!"
"Great Qin is invincible!"
"Great Qin is invincible!"
Shouts that soared into the sky sounded in Yong City, and so did the surrounding cities. They carried endless joy, as if they could shoot into the clouds.
Among them, Yong City was the happiest, because if Lao Ai was not destroyed, he would definitely send troops to attack Yong City, where the King of Qin was at the moment. Now, the city had turned into a sea of joy, and the atmosphere was like the new year...
In the palace of Yong City, Ying Zheng and the others were still unaware of what had happened in Xianyang. The young man, Ying Zheng, was standing there with a worried look on his face. He was a valiant young man, but his body was very thin. He had a knife-like face and a pair of sharp eyes like a goshawk's.
Standing in front of him were Lu Buwei, Chang Wenjun, Chang Pingjun, Wang Wan, Cai Ze, and other famous officials. Naturally, Lu Buwei was standing at the front.
Although Ying Zheng had already been crowned, Lu Buwei still controlled the lifeline of Great Qin.
Ying Zheng furrowed his long, sword-like eyebrows and said,""I'm really worried about the situation in Xianyang. I left Zhang Han behind to restrain Lao Ai, but I didn't expect Lao Ai to mutiny like a madman.”
When Ying Zheng was a hostage in the State of Zhao, he was a mischievous child. But at that time, although he was mischievous, he was also the son of some other hostages, the eldest son of some ministers of the State of Zhao. At that time, Lu Buwei, who had been secretly observing Ying Zheng in the State of Zhao, understood.
Zhao Zheng would be the ruler of the world!
As the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng did not enjoy himself much. He was not a muddle-headed king. At this moment, Ying Zheng also understood the principle of loving his people like his own children. He was worried about the people of Xianyang.
Naturally, Lu Buwei was also worried. He was playing a big game of chess, and he was training Ying Zheng. He believed that Ying Zheng would be the most powerful work of his life.
He could not allow Lao Ai to interfere with his plan!
Chang Wenjun was a minister of the Qin State and the King of Qin who swore his loyalty to the death. He was a pure warrior who had been fighting at the front line since the era of Prince Zhao. He had rich combat experience among the current Qin generals. Later on, he became Ying Zheng's military teacher.
" Don't worry, Your Majesty," Chang Wenjun said." Lao Ai is just a boor. He's easy to deal with."”
Ying Zheng nodded, but he still frowned and did not say anything. The atmosphere in the palace was very depressing.
They all knew that Lao Ai was indeed nothing in the face of the great upheaval in Xianyang, but Lady Zhao was different. Although she was a woman, she had a resourcefulness that was comparable to Lu Buwei's!
However, no one dared to say that the enemy was Zhao Ji.
Everyone present knew this, but they also knew that they could not say it.
"Great Qin is invincible!"
"Great Qin is invincible!"
"Great Qin is invincible!"
The cheers in Yong City became louder and louder, and actually spread to the palace.
" What's going on?" asked Ying Zheng, puzzled.”
A soldier rushed in and said,"Your Majesty, the people of Yong City are cheering."”
"What are you cheering for?" Ying Zheng said.
"I think I heard a voice saying something about the great victory in Xianyang."”
"Xianyang?" Ying Zheng was stunned, and so was everyone else present. Then, Ying Zheng immediately ordered,""Go and wait outside the palace gate immediately. See if anyone has come to report the situation of the battle! Hurry up! If you have it, bring it over immediately!"
"Yes!" The soldier was stunned by Ying Zheng's words and immediately responded.
"Your Majesty, the people won't cheer for no reason. Could it be that the rebellion in Xianyang has been resolved?”Minister Wang Wan was delighted.
Cai Ze nodded." It's highly possible. Otherwise, the people wouldn't be cheering so loudly."”
Lu Buwei was no longer calm. His heart, which had always been so calm that it scared people, was beating wildly.
He did not care about Lao Ai. What Lu Buwei cared about was Concubine Zhao!
For the sake of hegemony, to cultivate a person who could unify the world, Lu Buwei had abandoned the woman he loved the most in his life. But at this moment, Lu Buwei still didn't want anything to happen to Lady Zhao.
However, a shout soon made Lu Buwei forget about his worries for Lady Zhao's safety. A travel-worn soldier entered the palace and knelt down abruptly."My subordinate is Li Xin of the Xianyang Army! A great victory in Xianyang! Lao Ai was dead, all the rebel generals had been brought under control, the rebels had surrendered, and the mutiny had ended.”
Ying Zheng's heart was pounding as well. Hearing the news, he could not help but feel pleasantly surprised. But soon, he calmed down, and achieved a calmness that no one else could achieve. A question quickly came to his mind-who was the one who had resolved Lao Ai's mutiny?
