"I, I, Zhang Han, pay my respects to the First Emperor. Long live my Emperor.”When Zhang Han heard the familiar voice of the First Emperor, his body trembled and he knelt on the ground. He couldn't help but cry out loud, like a child who had been wronged outside suddenly seeing his parents.
"How can a general be crying here!”Ying Zheng stood up and placed his hands behind his back. He looked at Zhang Han, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and reprimanded him.
"Yes, I lost my composure. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”With the First Emperor's reprimand, Zhang Han immediately realized that he had lost his composure in front of the First Emperor and hurriedly kowtowed.
"Get up and reply!" Ying Zheng came to the window, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the bright moon outside the window.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Han replied respectfully, then stood behind Ying Zheng with utmost respect.
He answered whatever Ying Zheng asked, not daring to hide anything.
Ying Zheng mostly asked about the situation in Xianyang Palace, asking those ministers who were Zhao Gao's henchmen and who were still loyal to the Great Qin Empire.
As the leader of the Shadow Secret Guards, he spent most of his time in the palace. In addition, the people that Zhao Gao had promoted were all sucking up to Zhao Gao every day, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know that they were Zhao Gao's people. Therefore, Zhang Han naturally knew these things like the back of his hand.
After Ying Zheng had a clear idea of all these, he gave Zhang Han some instructions on the details of this operation.
From the beginning to the end, it was Ying Zheng who asked the questions, and Zhang Han who answered them. Even though Zhang Han had many questions, he could only bury them deep in his heart. He did not dare to ask too much about the Emperor's thoughts. Moreover, judging from the First Emperor's action this time, it was obvious that he already had a plan in mind.
"You may leave!" Ying Zheng said lightly after asking the question.
"Yes, I will take my leave!" Zhang Han responded and jumped out of the window, disappearing into the dark night.
After running for a long time, Zhang Han finally dared to turn back and look at the First Emperor. He felt that the First Emperor had become even more unfathomable and majestic. He had only stayed for a short while, but he already felt suffocated.
"Go and clean those eyes.”Standing by the window, Ying Zheng took a glance at Yan Lingji, who was sitting on a big tree in the courtyard downstairs, shaking her legs, and said calmly.
He had noticed Yan Lingji long ago. When Zhang Han barged into his room, Yan Lingji seemed to have sensed it, so she left her room. When she realized that it was the First Emperor's people, she obediently retreated to the big tree branch in the courtyard, pretending to be enjoying the shade.
After Yan Lingji heard the First Emperor's words, she tapped the tip of her toes on the branch and jumped out very nimbly. Then, sparks of fire flashed outside the house, and a few screams came from time to time.
During this period of time, many people had come to Ying Zheng's residence to investigate, and every morning, they would see many corpses placed outside the residence.
Some of them were killed by the leaves, which was done by Shao Siming. Some of them were only left with ashes, which was done by Yan Lingji. However, most of them were killed by Zhang Peng and the shadow guards before they could break in.
These days, Ying Zheng spent most of his time here. Occasionally, he would disguise himself and go out for a walk to check out the situation outside.
He could clearly feel that more and more people were pouring into this place, including those from the Network and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. However, for the time being, they were all small fries, and Ying Zheng did not take them seriously at all. He did not even have the interest to make a move.
"I've killed all of them, even the ones at the outermost perimeter. I've exceeded my quota. Is there any reward, First Emperor?”Not long after, Yan Lingji came back. She gently leaped to Ying Zheng's window, sat on it, looked at Ying Zheng, and asked with a playful look.
"Yes, I don't need to turn the tables tonight. I'll just pamper you directly!”Ying Zheng said lightly.
"Is this considered a reward?" Yan Lingji pouted and muttered.
"Of course it counts. This is a great gift. How many women in the world want to be favored by this one, but this one doesn't give them a chance.”Ying Zheng said with a straight face, then took a step forward and embraced Yan Lingji from behind.
Yan Lingji didn't resist Ying Zheng's hug, but her entire body stiffened, her heart rate accelerated, and her pretty face blushed slightly, with a hint of shyness.
Just like that, the two of them quietly enjoyed the calm before the storm.
A few days later, Great Si Ming's injuries had mostly healed.
Of course, this was all thanks to Ying Zheng. Every day, he would inject some divine dragon energy into Great Si Ming's body to speed up her recovery.
At the same time, more and more people poured into this area. Most of them were network assassins and farm children. They also sealed the surroundings more and more tightly.
Although no one had launched an attack on this place, and at most sent some scouts to scout the situation, Ying Zheng, Great Si Ming, Yan Lingji, and the others could still feel the atmosphere becoming more and more oppressive, as if a storm was about to come.
Ying Zheng knew that they were waiting, and so was Ying Zheng.
On this day, the six elders of the Tomb of the Six Sages finally arrived with thousands of elite disciples.
A day later, Ge Nia, the snow maidens, the experts of the Mo family, and the experts of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy arrived after a long journey.
The people of these forces began to come into contact with each other frequently, and then divided their respective areas to be sealed off, and discussed together how to encircle and suppress the tyrant Ying Zheng.
For a time, this area became very lively.
At the same time, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were also on their way to Hangu Pass with their troops as promised. They planned to join forces with the Wu and Guang families to break Hangu Pass first, then use their troops to encircle and suppress the First Emperor near Mount Li, and finally, they would arrive at Xianyang City and divide the Great Qin Empire into three parts.
At the same time, on the ancient road leading to the Great Wall in the north, a few ordinary-dressed men were riding fast horses.
These people were the Moon Goddess's trusted aides. They had been ordered by the Moon Goddess to deliver the First Emperor's imperial edict to Wang Li.
They had been traveling day and night for more than ten days. Finally, they saw a large army of Great Qin on the ancient path. Other than the Great Qin flag, there was also a commander flag with the word "King" written on it. It was obvious that this was the Qin army that Wang Li was leading back to Xianyang.
