Just as Zhao Chen was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep, the secret guards that Wang Jian had sent to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, arrived.
Xianyang was the capital of the Great Qin Empire. Although it was night time, it was still bustling with people. Xianyang was located 15 kilometers east of Xianyang City in Shaanxi Province, on the north bank of the Wei River. Its geographical location was very important, and it also had an important political and military status. It could have a strong control over the surrounding areas of the Qin Dynasty, allowing each generation of Qin kings to have complete control over the Qin Dynasty and better carry out military and political actions.
Therefore, the Qin Empire had stationed a large number of troops here. If anyone wanted to get close to Xianyang, they would be stopped, especially if they were strangers with profound martial arts skills. After all, the Qin Empire had yet to wipe out the six countries, and their strength was still unable to suppress the heroes. They had to be even more careful, especially when the Qin Empire was preparing to carry out a major military operation. Only those with a token could pass through.
Therefore, this Shadow Secret Guard could only hold the token and quickly pass through the tight blockades. Only then did he arrive at the place near the Imperial Palace in Xianyang. He had to immediately head to the base of the Shadow Secret Guard to report to the commander of the Shadow Secret Guard, Zhang Yan. At this moment, Zhang Yan was training the guards. As the Empire was preparing to start a war, they needed to ensure the smooth flow of information and the safety of the generals. Hence, they were lacking in manpower and could only retrain and nurture them.
At this time, the famous network had not yet appeared. It was now the era where the Shadow Secret Guards and the Black Ice Platform coexisted. These two organizations both wanted to suppress each other in front of the Emperor. Therefore, Zhang Yan personally trained new guards to ensure that there would not be any chaos during the war and let the enemy see them as a joke. Especially since the Black Ice Platform was directly under the jurisdiction of the Grand Commandant, he did not expect that he would be directly ordered by the King.
The Black Ice Platform was more inclined to gather intelligence and instigate defection, while the Shadow Secret Guards were more inclined to assassinate enemy generals and protect the generals from the enemy. Of course, there was also a sense of surveillance. Their power was greater, so they were also ostracized by their colleagues. Therefore, Zhang Yan had to ensure that there would not be any mistakes and disappoint the king.
Zhang Yan was wearing a purple robe with a stern expression. She was tall and strong. As she looked around, she scolded,"You, you, you, hurry up. Pay attention to the front. Use your strength and pay attention to hiding."
His face was filled with exasperation. He was very dissatisfied with these new guards and had been guiding and scolding them until a guard dressed in black came to report. Only then did he turn around.
Can't you see that I'm training?
"Milord, Old General Wang sent a message from Hexi County saying that he must personally deliver it to His Majesty.”
"Let me take a look." As she spoke, Zhang Yan took the letter and opened it. Her originally nonchalant face instantly tensed up. The more she read, the more serious it became. In the end, her face was covered in sweat.
"Not good. This matter is of great importance and must be reported to His Majesty. Are you sure no one knows the contents of this letter?”
He asked with a serious expression.
"This subordinate does not dare to lie to Milord. Other than you being the first, no one else knows.
The secret guard hurriedly lowered his head and said in a deep voice. Zhang Yan nodded and waved his hand to dismiss him. He himself immediately headed to the palace to meet the Emperor.
The palace of Qin State was located in the middle of Xianyang. From afar, the crimson palaces looked like they were embedded in the snow.
The palace was situated in the middle of the forest, and its glazed roof was exposed, making it look like a golden island.
The magnificent pavilion of Huaqing Palace was surrounded by the water of Huaqing Pool. Duckweed was all over the ground, green and clear. The two dragons on the eaves had golden scales and golden armor. They were vivid and lifelike as if they wanted to fly into the sky. It was a huge palace-like building, and the golden glazed tiles shone brightly under the moonlight.
Zhang Yan reported to the guards and was then allowed to see him. He walked on a stone path made of marble. Along the way, the pavilions were dazzling and dazzling. At the end of this road was the office of the first emperor, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng.
Zhang Yan stopped in front of this solemn palace that did not have any gorgeous colors. She waited quietly for His Majesty to summon her.
At the entrance of the palace. Two rows of armored soldiers were holding weapons and staring sharply at everyone who passed by. They were muscular and emitted a murderous aura. A wave of iron-blooded aura assaulted their faces, as if they were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, making them feel cold.
Zhang Yan knew that these were the Imperial Guards of His Majesty. Each of them had profound martial arts and were Postnatal experts. Even in the dark, Zhang Yan, who was in the Embryonic Breathing realm of the Innate Realm, felt a sense of danger. One had to know that he was considered a first-class expert in the world. Of course, he was an assassin and his strength was weaker than ordinary Innate Experts. However, he was also an Innate Expert, but he was actually so weak.
Moreover, it wasn't just a faint aura. There were two auras that were like wild beasts in the palace, which made people's minds collapse.
He knew that one of them was our great Emperor, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, while the other one was one of the four commanders of the four spirits by His Majesty's side. The four of them were all commanders of the imperial guards, responsible for protecting His Majesty and the safety of the palace. They were all very powerful. They could be said to be top-notch experts, and they all had the strength to enter the Dao realm.
The rest of them should be at the Xiantian Celestial Grandmaster Realm. This palace could be said to be filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. It was shocking.
After an unknown period of time, Zhang Yan had been kneeling respectfully outside the hall. Her entire body was drenched in sweat and she did not dare to move. Finally, the door that had been tightly shut opened and a sharp voice sounded," Summon…Zhang Yan into the hall."”
Only then did Zhang Yan stand up as if she had come to a realization. She used her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her face and tidied up her appearance. She followed the middle door in front of her into the hall. The moment she entered the hall, countless auras that made her tremble in fear locked onto her. As long as she made a move, she would immediately be greeted with a thunderous blow.
This forced him to lower his head and be even more respectful. Finally, he passed through two checkpoints in a row and arrived at the main hall. He was about to meet the talented and bold Qin Emperor.
Although Zhang Yanyi had met the King of Qin many times, she still felt nervous and sweaty every time, as if she was seriously ill. The King of Qin's pressure was too heavy. He was not only a peerless expert who cultivated the Way of the Emperor, but also the monarch of the most powerful country in the world. Moreover, he was about to wipe out the six countries. He held the lives of millions of people in his hands. With a wave of his hand, the iron cavalry under his command could crush those enemies into ashes. His power was so great that how could he not be feared?
