Ying Zheng exchanged all the gold in the backyard for energy points, then sent all the valuables in Lu Buwei's mansion into the palace.
Ying Zheng didn't want to get involved in other matters.
Naturally, the West Chamber and the Jinyiwei would deal with the aftermath.
Ying Zheng returned to the palace under the escort of Ye Gucheng and Li Chenzhou.
Now that Lu Buwei was dead, there was no need to hide the news of Jing Ke and his wife anymore.
The entire Xianyang City was in an uproar.
Jing Ke and Wu Zhong weren't here to compete in swords? They were here to assassinate the King of Qin!
The two people who were sparring in the tavern were fake! Substitute?
The swordsmen outside the tavern were stunned by the news. Then, they reacted and rushed in to see if it was true.
The two substitutes were stunned on the spot and looked at the swordsmen who rushed in.
"D * mn, kill them!"
The swordsmen were furious and attacked the two substitutes.
No one expected that they would be treated like fools after waiting outside for a long time.
The two substitutes were stabbed to death by the angry crowd.
"How unlucky! I'm one of the 33 swordsmen of the Spring and Autumn Period, but these two are playing with us like clowns!”
"Sigh, let's go. I thought I would be able to witness such a profound sword technique. I didn't expect to come here for nothing.”
"Leave as soon as possible. The depths of the capital are very deep.”
The competition that had affected the swordsmen of the seven countries ended just like that!
Who would have thought that Wu Zhong and Jing Ke were actually using the pretense of a challenge, with the real purpose of assassinating Ying Zheng?
He even had some connections with Prime Minister Lu.
These people didn't want to interfere in the game of power in the royal court. Since there was nothing to watch, the swordsmen left Xianyang one after another.
Who knew if he would be angered by the Qin country if he stayed any longer.
……
In a secret mansion in the southern part of the city, Lu Buwei's henchmen and officials were all gathered there.
"Lord Prime Minister is dead, what should we do?”
These people were all powerful and influential people. As for the lower-level officials, although everyone felt threatened, they could not come into contact with this level.
"Sigh, His Majesty acted too quickly. He didn't even start the trial and took Minister Lyu's life!”
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Where should we go?”
With Lu Buwei's death, these people had lost their backbone.
As part of Lu Buwei's faction, they naturally understood the principle of eliminating the root of the problem.
Ying Zheng would not allow them to continue sitting in their seats.
"What else can we do? Resign!"
" But..." Some people were unwilling to hand over the power in their hands.
"What else do you want? His Majesty had even killed Minister Lyu. Wasn't his determination clear enough?!”
"The king wants to monopolize power. If you don't resign tomorrow, a bottle of poisoned wine will be sent to the residence the day after tomorrow!”An old official berated loudly.
He could clearly see that Ying Zheng was determined to clean up the Imperial Court!
In the past, Ying Zheng did not have so many people under his command, but things were different now!
Even if all of them were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to kill Ying Zheng!
"Sigh, forget it, forget it. It's worth it to be rich and noble for half a lifetime. We'll submit a memorial to the throne tomorrow morning and retire!”
Many nobles shook their heads and sighed. Losing power was better than losing their lives.
They couldn't represent Lu Buwei's entire faction.
Lu Buwei's influence would not be easily eliminated. It could only be slowly erased over time.
……
Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace.
Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne, communicating with Li Changsheng mentally.
"System, is the luck value provided by Jing Ke and Wu Zhong enough to level up?”
"Ding, the system has met the requirements for upgrading. Please confirm whether to upgrade!”Li Changsheng looked at his luck value and replied.
Jing Ke had 5,700 luck points, while Wu Zhong only had 4,600 luck points.
In total, he had a total of 13,000 points, which had already reached the standard for the system upgrade.
"Upgrade immediately!" Ying Zheng said impatiently.
"Ding! Deducting 100,000 energy points and 10,000 luck points. The system is upgrading…"
Li Changsheng felt as if his body had been swept by some kind of light. An indescribable feeling appeared in Li Changsheng's heart.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Changsheng opened his eyes. The System upgrade was complete.
The system upgrade this time did not change much. After all, the energy points and luck value consumed were not too much.
It was just that the items that could be exchanged were of a higher level, and the new function had not been activated for the time being.
"I can already exchange for a martial grandmaster? A low-level artifact refinement technique…a manual for exotic beast cultivation?”
Li Changsheng studied it for a while. Then, he rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while before deciding to add some new functions.
Otherwise, Brother Zheng would think that he was cheating him of energy points.
"Ding! System upgrade completed. Main mission completed. Host's authority has been upgraded!”
"The next upgrade requires energy points:1000000, luck value:100000.”
" One million energy points and one hundred thousand luck value points?" Ying Zheng glanced at the upgrade conditions, and then looked away." So, every upgrade will increase by ten times?"”
"Ding! System upgrade, new function unlocked!”Li Changsheng said.
"What new function?" Ying Zheng asked.
"The system will provide an inquiry function." Li Changsheng introduced it with a smile. This was his new private business!
"When the host encounters a problem that is difficult to solve, you can ask the system for a solution. However, the host will have to pay 1000 energy points for each question!”
"Special problems will be charged more. The system will decide according to the situation!”
This was Li Changsheng's idea of a no-cost transaction!
Every time Ying Zheng came to consult Li Changsheng, he had to pay energy points. Although it was not much, it was a small amount that would last for a long time.
Besides, Li Changsheng did not need to pay anything, and only needed to answer Ying Zheng's questions.
In fact, if he encountered a special problem, Li Changsheng could charge a little more without having to pay anything.
"The inquiry function…"
Ying Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment. This new function seemed pretty good. The world was so big, and there were still many things that he, Ying Zheng, did not know!
(I'm begging for fresh flowers, evaluation tickets, and monthly votes for today.)）
