"First Emperor, I am far away in Lingnan and cannot go to Guanzhong. I am guilty, I am guilty!”
Ren Xiao, who had pacified the entire Lingnan area and was also the second commander of the southern expedition, roared crazily.
It was not only the kindness of the First Emperor, but more importantly, it was also the instinctive reaction of a subject.
"First Emperor…"
Many of the 500,000 soldiers in the southern expedition were from the Guanzhong region. The old Qin soldiers who had always been filled with fighting spirit had now lowered their heads.
Even the soldiers from all over the world felt bad when they heard that the first emperor had died. It was as if they had lost their greatest pillar of support.
“………”
In a huge military camp, the black armored tide that had gathered was filled with a rather heavy atmosphere!
"Have a safe journey. In my next life, I will still fight with the First Emperor and sweep away all my opponents.”
Just like Ren Xiao himself, in the silent square formation, the soldiers of the Southern Qin army silently shed tears, holding back the urge to hug their heads and cry.
They were Great Qin's soldiers and the First Emperor's powerful army. They did not want to show their weakest side, so they sent off the First Emperor in their best condition.
"General Ren, all the soldiers are grieving over the death of the First Emperor. We just have to put the overall situation first…"
"I feel the same way. I hope that General will not be too sad to avoid any hidden injuries.”
Even if he had some selfish motives, Zhao Tuo still sighed and advised with some sadness.
"Pass down the order. All the soldiers of the three armies should bow in the direction of Xianyang.”
Hearing the four words 'the big picture is important,' Ren Xiao regained his original faith and spoke in a calm voice.
That was the First Emperor's legacy and the faith he had entrusted to protect his territory. He could not fall so easily.
"Here!"
Zhao Tuo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the general pull himself together again. The 500,000 strong army could not afford to fall into chaos.
"First Emperor…"
As Zhao Tuo turned to leave, Ren Xiao could not bear it anymore. He silently shed tears, covering his scarred face.
There was a saying that a man would not shed tears easily, it was just that they had not reached the point of sadness.
"The First Emperor passed away just like that. I didn't expect him to pass away halfway through his inspection. In the end, his illness is getting worse and worse.”
Zhao Tuo, who had gone to deliver the military order, recalled the first emperor who was full of vigor. It could be said that he had mixed feelings.
"My southern expedition army salutes the First Emperor!”
Ren Xiao, who was standing at the front, pulled out the long sword on his waist and threw it to the ground.
As the long sword sank into the soil, he took the lead to perform a noble ceremony without saying anything.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
With a soft swoosh, the soldiers of the Qin army faced the direction of Xianyang and knelt on the ground with the highest etiquette in the army.
Other than that, he didn't do anything else. He used the simplest method to show his absolute loyalty to the First Emperor.
The black armor formed a trend, adding an especially solemn atmosphere.
"Zhao Tuo, have you found out which prince is going to take the throne?”
After the ceremony of paying respects to the First Emperor, Ren Xiao returned to his mansion in Panyu City (now Guangzhou, Guangdong) and asked Zhao Tuo.
"General Ren, the Sixth Prince has taken the throne and is currently on his way back to Xianyang.”
"Judging from the speed of the troops, they should be at least at Taiyuan by the time they reach the Central Plains.”
As he spoke, Zhao Tuo took out a piece of brocade cloth from his armor. There was a large number of words written on it.
"It's either the First Prince or one of the Six Princes, the two Princes that the First Emperor values the most.”
When he heard that the sixth prince had ascended the throne, Ren Xiao was not too surprised. He took the news and read it.
"Zhao Gao is so audacious. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince won the Sand Dune Pact; the heavens are truly blessing Great Qin.”
Previously, he thought that it was a peaceful transition, but he did not expect to experience a change in the sand dunes. Ren Xiao directly slapped his leg and cheered.
Killing Zhao Gao was a good thing. This was the style of an emperor. He would not show mercy to those who rebelled.
"The First Emperor has a very unique eye for people. On the night of his death, the Crown Prince eliminated Zhao Gao in one fell swoop.”
The decisiveness displayed by the sand dune change made Zhao Tuo put away his remaining thoughts and sit on the spot to talk about the wisdom of the First Emperor.
"You're right. The First Emperor only thinks highly of the Crown Prince.”
Ren Xiao put down the brocade cloth and nodded. He thought of the scene where he used alchemical fire oil to attack the imperial guards.
If it was the First Prince, Fu Su, or any other prince, who would have the boldness of the Crown Prince?？？
"Fortunately, I didn't have any evil thoughts. Even if General Ren didn't kill me, with the Crown Prince's methods, he would definitely kill me.”
Zhao Tuo's back was already covered in cold sweat when he thought of a clip that mentioned five horses being torn apart. He was glad that he did not have any evil thoughts.
"Fortunately, the heavens have blessed Great Qin and prepared for an ambush in time. The Ying royal family has produced another talent.”
After regaining his senses, Zhao Tuo calmed himself down, as if he was planning something new.
Based on the current situation, as long as the Crown Prince did not mess around, Great Qin would not fall into chaos. This was a great opportunity to move to the central government.
"With such wisdom, I believe that the First Emperor's spirit in heaven will be very pleased.”
The more brilliant the new emperor was, the happier Ren Xiao, who came from Guanzhong, was.
"Zhao Tuo, immediately write a letter to express our attitude towards the southern expedition and our eternal loyalty to the Emperor of Great Qin.”
Remembering another important matter, Ren Xiao did not delay and solemnly instructed.
"Please rest assured, General Ren. I will write it immediately and send it to Xianyang as soon as possible.”
Just as he was about to express his attitude to the Crown Prince, how could Zhao Tuo refute him? He accepted the order.
Even if the other party had not mentioned it, as the deputy commander of the southern expedition army, it was impossible for him not to express anything.
If this was really the case, even if he didn't have any rebellious thoughts, he still had rebellious thoughts.
"That's good!"
The Sixth Prince was about to become the second Emperor of Great Qin. This was the only good news after the First Emperor's death, and Ren Xiao's mood was no longer as heavy as before.
