The dark misty rain dyed the gloomy sky. In the magnificent hall, a handsome man was kneeling in front of a table, occasionally raising his head to look at the rain outside the hall. Although it was quiet, he had the might of a dragon and tiger. The personal guards standing on both sides could not help but show extreme respect from the corner of their eyes, and even their breathing was careful. This man was the Lord of the world, the one emperor in history, Ying Zheng!
A guard hurried over with his head lowered. Although it was not inappropriate for him to walk in this hall with his identity, there were still a few ice-cold auras that swept past his throat. He swallowed silently and bowed. Your Majesty, Dame Yun Ji gave birth to a prince."
The man raised his head and said," Oh, Yun Ji has given birth. That's right. Pass on the imperial edict. After dinner, we will go to the Cloud Billow Palace." The guard bowed and left. Ying Zheng suddenly stood up, walked to a corner of the palace, and pushed open the window. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the clouds and rain had stopped. There was only a hint of red in the sky, with a hint of warmth.
Deep within the Qin Palace, in a side hall, a beautiful woman with a deep sense of exhaustion was playing with an infant beside her. The infant was wrapped in a swaddling cloth and had already been washed clean. There was not a single trace of blood on his body, and he was currently staring at his mother with a pair of eyes as bright as stars.
" I'm so cute. Your Imperial Father will definitely like me." The woman gently listened to the bell outside the hall and sighed slightly. She was originally the daughter of an old Qin noble. Although she wasn't born into a noble family, she was still the descendant of a famous family. If it was in the past, even if she was in the depths of the palace, she would be able to stand firmly by relying on her background and appearance, not to say that she was more beautiful than the crowd. Especially that Emperor, who was even the Lord of Yingguo. However, she didn't expect that Li Ji would come and make this great Emperor... He also prostrated himself under her skirt. Originally, although he rarely lingered in the Inner Palace, he also came here often. But ever since Li Ji entered the palace, it had been a full half a year and he had not set foot in the Billowing Cloud Palace. If not for having this child, no one knew when he would return.
A purple-robed female servant hurried in and whispered a few words into the woman's ear. The woman hurriedly struggled to get up. At this moment, a person said in a clear voice, Yun Ji, there's no need to get up. I want to see my son."
Before the doors of the palace were fully opened, Ying Zheng had already walked in. He had already changed out of his imperial crown and imperial robe, and was now wearing a black dragon robe. Time seemed to have left no trace on his face.
" Your Majesty," the woman said softly. Ying Zheng nodded, but his eyes fell on the baby. The baby seemed to be looking at the man in front of him with curiosity.
There seemed to be a smile on the man's stern face. She reached out and gently touched the baby's cheek." This child will be called Ying Xi, okay, Yun Ji?”，The woman smiled gently and said,"Your Majesty will make the decision."
Ten years later.
A young man was walking in the depths of the palace. Two attendants followed him closely. Suddenly, the young man stopped and looked at the palace in the distance. A smile appeared on his face. He looked around calmly. One of the attendants whispered, Young Master, it's the fifteenth day today. Young Master can go see the Empress now. This road doesn't lead to the Billowing Cloud Pavilion."
The young man smiled gently."" I'm going to see someone today, so I'll go to Imperial Mother's place later." The attendant lightly nodded, and a trace of a smile appeared on his grayish-white head. Even though Gong Zixi was one of Great Qin's 12 Young Masters, he did not put on airs and was always very gentle towards the attendants around him. Even though the palace maids were not ordinary people, they craved respect, so this palace maid treated Ying Xi as family.
The palace walls were towering, and there were countless palaces hidden within the shadows. The Qin Dynasty's palace was majestic, but it was not extravagant. Even though he had walked through most of the palace countless times in the past few years, he could not help but sigh. The Qin Dynasty was a great dynasty, but it was also a short-lived one. The empire had only been established for a few decades, and once the emperor, Qin Shihuang, died, the Great Qin Dynasty also fell apart. However, it still made people sigh.
As expected, Ying Xi was not from this era. He came from the later generation. He was smart since he was young and was admitted to a famous university in his teens. There were always some people in the crowd who were smart and outstanding. They could restrain themselves and always knew what they wanted. He was such a person. In just a few years, he had his own business. The world was like chess. There were two things in a man's nature: one was gambling, the other was fighting. However, if the environment did not have the right environment for these two things to exist, then the mall was the best place for a man.
This man with a refined smile soon walked his own path in this bloody battlefield. Although success could not be achieved by one person constantly putting together conditions, to be honest, people without these conditions would never succeed.
It was just that the heavens seemed to be playing a joke on him. Just as he was at the height of his power, he suddenly contracted a terminal illness. There was no conspiracy here, but it was precisely because of this that made people sigh. Man's plan was not as good as God's plan, but it was precisely because of this that it aroused the ruthlessness in his bones.
While he was actively treating his patients, he never gave up hope of survival. On one hand, he silently arranged for his future life and worked hard to train his body, hoping that death would come later. God seemed to see his efforts. The doctor originally predicted that he would not live past 30 years old, but he worked hard to live year after year. He began to wander the world, walking through deserts and the Remote Ocean, thinking about the meaning of life and death. He even spent five years reading ancient and modern classics. He was one of the few smart people in the world. Unknowingly, his vast knowledge had made many masters feel ashamed.
However, it seemed that no matter how hard he tried, he could not resist fate. Death, the final destination, was still approaching him. Finally, at the age of forty-two, he reached the end.
After passing through a long corridor, he walked past a square that could be seen in an unobstructed view. He entered a side hall. When the palace servants saw Ying Xi, they opened the door. There was someone waiting for him in the main hall.
" Young Master." That person was standing in the shadows and his face couldn't be seen clearly. However, before he even got close, he already gave off an awe-inspiring feeling. It was as if the person standing there wasn't a person, but a sharp sword. The sword was still a peerless weapon even before it was unsheathed.
"Mr. Ge Nia, long time no see." The man in white was the number one swordsman in the world, Ge Nia."Greetings, Young Master." Ying Xi smiled." Mister Gai has done his best for Imperial Father, but he's really not qualified to be my sword arts instructor. I often don't see Mister for ten days to half a month. I really miss you."
Ge Nia was unusually calm, but his childish voice carried a hint of concern. He still smiled." Young Master is a genius, and Ge Nia is only a master. A sword is like a person, and it's different when connected. Only by finding your own path can you become a first-rate swordsman."
Ying Xi nodded,"I've learned my lesson, but the aura around Mister Gai seems to be slightly different." Ge Nia's heart trembled."Gongzi Xi can sense my aura? Could it be that Young Master's Ghost Valley Breathing Technique had already reached the Advanced Stage?”，However, this did not seem to be possible. One had to know that although the cultivation techniques of each sect were different, such as the Daoists and the Yinyang School, there were many disciples with high comprehension skills who were young, but their cultivation was far superior to many seniors. For example, there was a rumor that Master Beiming of the Daoist Heaven Sect had made an exception and accepted a young girl as his disciple because she had defeated the eight elders of the Heaven Sect when she was eight years old. Although it was because both parties did not use their internal energy, it could also be seen that this girl's peerless talent. However, the growth of internal strength was not just dependent on one's aptitude. Experience and knowledge were indispensable, especially in the Cross and Horizontal Branch.
However, Gongzi Xi was not one of them. Although he had only taught him for three years, it was as if he could never see him clearly. Ever since he taught him, he had a new definition of the word genius. He had been praised by countless people as a genius and had seen countless geniuses, but people like Gongzi Xi had never seen someone like him.
Inwardly, he sighed." Young Master is a genius. Ge Nia was ordered by His Majesty to hunt down a criminal. This person is very skilled in martial arts, and I was injured as well." Ying Xi knew that Sheng Qi had been arrested this time.
"That's interesting. I know Mister Gai's swordsmanship. There aren't many people in Jianghu who can hurt you alone."Mister Gai's swordsmanship is extraordinary, but that person is also not ordinary. He has dominated the seven countries and has become stronger when he meets the strong. Black Swordsman."Greetings, Your Majesty (Greetings, Father)."
