"Prime Minister, His Majesty the Emperor has summoned you!”
In the Prime Minister's estate, Li Si had just returned when a guard came up to report. Li Si pondered for a moment when he heard the guard's words. Then, he knew why the Emperor had summoned him, so he waved his hand to indicate that he already knew about the news.
" Let's go!" Since he had already received the news, Li Si did not dare to delay. He returned to the carriage and said," Let's go to Xianyang Palace!"”
"Yes, Lord Prime Minister!" With that, the soldier in front drove the carriage towards Xianyang Palace.
……
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng was talking to Yueshen. Seeing Li Si coming over, Yueshen also knew that Li Si had something to discuss with the Emperor, so she said," I'll take my leave."
Looking at the Moon Goddess's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Ying Zheng's gaze fell on Li Si, then he slowly said,"
"Li Si, I heard that you went to that so-called magical shop. Is that true?”
"Your Majesty, I did go to that small shop.”
"Oh, I wonder if you have any gains?”
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Si pondered for a moment, then slowly said,"
"Your Majesty, I just came back from that small shop. In my opinion, that small shop shouldn't pose a threat to the empire.”
"Oh?" Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng seemed to be interested.”
"Your Majesty, actually, before I went, I sent Zhao Gao to the Zhao Residence. According to Zhao Gao's report, he wanted to invite the manager to the residence for a chat, but he was rejected in the end. Therefore, Zhao Gao wanted to use extreme methods to forcefully invite him. However, Zhao Gao and the Six Sword Slaves did not succeed, and the Six Sword Slaves were more or less injured. According to Zhao Gao's report, I speculate that he will not be enemies with the Empire and Your Majesty now!”
Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng was a little confused. He could not help but ask again," According to what you said just now, that shop owner injured the Six Sword Slaves. How does that mean that he and I are not enemies?"”
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Let me explain slowly. Just now, after Zhao Gao reported the news, I went again. When I went, I found that the manager seemed to have known that I would come. Moreover, from the manager's appearance, there was nothing unusual. It didn't feel like he had fought. From then on, I could infer that the manager had the ability to directly destroy the Six Sword Slaves, but he didn't do so. In other words, the Six Sword Slaves came back because the manager wanted to let them live."If he really wants to make enemies with the Empire and His Majesty, he can directly destroy the Six Sword Slaves. However, he chose to let the Six Sword Slaves go. This sends us a message that he doesn't want to make enemies with the Empire and His Majesty. At least, that's the case for now.”
After Li Si finished speaking, the hall fell into a brief silence. After a long while, Ying Zheng spoke again,"
"In that case, if he doesn't make an enemy of me now, does that mean that he can be used by me?”
However, Li Si shook his head and said," Your Majesty, he can't be used by the Empire or Your Majesty!”
"Hmm?"
" He's here!" Li Si said slowly when he saw the confusion in the Emperor's eyes." I invited him to fight against the Mo Family with the Empire and attack the Mohist City of Traps together with the Empire, but he refused!"”
Li Si paused for a moment before continuing," If he could be used by His Majesty and the Empire, he would have already agreed to my invitation. However, he rejected it. This means that he is unwilling to be used by His Majesty and the Empire.”
"In that case, this is another unstable factor?”After hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng seemed to be a little angry, and his tone immediately became a little higher.
"Your Majesty, from a long-term perspective, he is indeed an unstable factor. However, for now, he will not be an enemy of the Imperium!”
"Hmph, in my empire, such people are not allowed to exist. You have to get rid of them as soon as possible!”
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Li Si immediately opened his mouth to dissuade him.”
"Li Si, what do you mean? Do you want me to leave such a huge hidden danger in my empire?”
"I don't dare to. I just think that we can't attack him now. We don't know his trump card yet. Your Majesty, think about it. If he doesn't have full confidence, how could he dare to open his shop in Xianyang? You should know that Xianyang is the headquarters of the empire, and its various military forces are far superior to other places. Why would he take the risk to open his shop here? In my opinion, he must have thought of this since he opened his shop here. Since he knew that Your Majesty might deal with him, he still opened his shop here. There are only two situations."
" The first possibility is that he's a lunatic."
"The second type is that they aren't afraid of the Empire's trump cards.”
"According to my visit, he is obviously not a lunatic. In other words, he is the second type!”
Hearing Li Si's slow analysis of the current situation, Ying Zheng also felt a headache coming on." What should we do then?" he asked.”
"Wait!"
