It was dawn when they left the secret chamber.
Ying Zheng walked to the dragon bed and sat down. He closed his eyes and rested for a moment. Then, he heard the door of his bedroom being pushed open, and a few footsteps could be heard.
He opened his eyes and saw a few eunuchs who were serving in the bedroom.
The eunuchs went to the bedroom to do their daily cleaning. When they saw someone sitting on the dragon bed, they immediately shouted in surprise. Upon closer inspection, wasn't this the Great King who had been missing for a year?
A eunuch walked out, and a few others quickly walked over. They knelt in front of the dragon bed and said respectfully,""Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Rise. I have been away for some time. Order Minister Lu to enter the palace for an audience.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." One of the eunuchs left, and the rest stood on both sides of the dragon bed, their heads lowered, not daring to look at Ying Zheng.
About an hour later, Minister Lyu arrived at the palace. The first impression this man gave Ying Zheng was that he was shrewd, conceited, and shrewd.
Lu Buwei came forward and knelt on the ground, saying,""Greetings, Your Majesty.”
"Rise." Ying Zheng raised his hand, and Lu Buwei stood up and asked,""I wonder where the king has been these days? The ministers in the court are very worried, I'm afraid Your Majesty…"
Halfway through his sentence, Lu Buwei carefully observed Ying Zheng's expression.
Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold, but he did not show any emotion as he said blandly,""I have something important to do. Minister Lu, do you want to know what I have done?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he swept his gaze around. He was not angry, but he was imposing.
Lu Buwei's heart tightened, and he quickly bowed and said respectfully,""Your Majesty, please calm down. This old subject did not mean to offend you. But, but…"
"Stand up. Considering that you've made great contributions to Great Qin, I won't hold it against you.”
Lu Buwei heaved a sigh of relief, but he felt that something was wrong and couldn't figure it out.
"Tell me everything that has happened in the court in detail over the past year.”
Hearing this, Lu Buwei quickly reported everything that had happened in the past year. From what he said, Great Qin had been quite stable this year, and the imperial court had been quite peaceful. There had not been many special events. However, a few of them resigned because of Ying Zheng's disappearance and returned to their hometown.
In terms of economy and people's livelihood, Great Qin's people were doing well, and farming was gradually recovering. Great Qin's country was at its peak, and its people were rich.
Ying Zheng then asked the few officials who had resigned. Seeing Lu Buwei's evasive manner, he had already guessed that those officials who opposed him to monopolize the power of the court had been eliminated by him using this opportunity.
Ying Zheng did not expose him, but rewarded him with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver.
It was already late at night when Lu Buwei left the palace, and Ying Zheng had learned a lot of things. The next day was the day of the court session. It was the first time he went to court after coming out of the secret room.
Just as he was about to rest, he suddenly sensed some movement outside the bedroom.
Some auras suddenly appeared around the bedroom, but the patrolling guards did not find any traces of them. Their breaths were extremely faint, and their breathing was slow. The frequency of their breathing was several times lower than that of ordinary people.
This must be a well-trained person. Sneaking into the surroundings of the bedroom must be targeting him.
Although his spiritual sense was not as terrifying as that of the third level of the Spirit Condensation Realm, he could still clearly determine the sound of mosquitoes and flies within a thousand feet.
There were a total of seven people. The seven of them moved stealthily, avoiding the patrolling guards and reaching the window of the bedroom.
One of them pierced through the paper window and flicked his finger. A round bead fell into the bedroom. After it landed, the bead emitted a large amount of pink mist. In a moment, it had already covered the entire bedroom. It was extremely dense, and it was difficult to see the surrounding scenery.
A murderous intent flashed across the depths of Ying Zheng's eyes. Lying on the dragon bed, he held his breath and stopped breathing.
About fifteen minutes later, he heard a very subtle sound. The seven people outside entered the bedroom through the window almost at the same time and quickly walked toward the dragon bed.
The seven of them were extremely fast and arrived beside the dragon bed in the blink of an eye. However, it did not make any sound. Even the footsteps were extremely light, like a night cat.
The seven of them wore masks and stood in front of the dragon bed. One of them said in a low voice,"It doesn't seem to be a problem. Although I've been away for a year, I don't have much cultivation. Tomorrow, he would not remember anything.”
"Those who can be easily bewitched will not have much cultivation. We can't stay here for long. Retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the seven of them turned around and were about to leave.
However, at this moment, an extremely cold voice sounded from behind him." How can you come and go as you please in my bedroom?”
"What?"
The seven of them were shocked. Just as they were about to turn around, they felt a strong wind coming from behind.
Chi!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The seven of them hurriedly dodged to the left and right. Two of them were a little slow and were hit by the strong wind. They fell to the ground and spat out blood, completely lifeless.
On their backs, a palm print pierced through their chests.
"What a terrifying palm force, what a domineering palm force!”
The remaining five were shocked, knowing that Ying Zheng's cultivation base was not that simple.
The five of them looked at each other and quickly retreated.
However, Ying Zheng moved like a ghost and appeared beside one of them in an instant. He stretched out his hand and broke the assassin's throat. Then, he patted the assassin's waist with his left hand, and a dagger flew out from the assassin's waist, piercing through the heart of the other assassin in the blink of an eye.
There were only three people left!
