Chapter VII
It was late at night, and it was getting colder.
After settling down the three hundred guards, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, went back to his bed to practice the Ziwei Imperial Tactics for a while, then changed his clothes and went to rest.
The Vajra Sun-Battering Banner in the west was faintly discernible under the moonlight, faintly emitting a mysterious aura.
As Ying Zheng's personal guard, Zhao Yun was fully focused on guarding the door.
窸窸窣窣……
A soft sound rang out.
Zhao Yun suddenly opened her eyes and shouted towards a dark corner.
"Who dares to trespass into the palace!"
Ten meters away from Ying Zheng's bedchamber, the leaves of four or five bamboo trees were rustling.
Seeing that there was no response, Zhao Yun shouted angrily and shot out.
"Playing tricks!"
A cold shadow flashed across the bluestone ground!
Zhao Yun held the silver spear in her hand and struck out with a cold light.
In an instant, the four or five bamboos were broken at the waist, and their branches and leaves scattered in all directions. There was no trace of them.
"Could I have seen wrongly?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Yun thought that she was too nervous, so she prepared to go back and continue guarding the door.
However, in the next second!
A light blade broke through the wind!
Zhao Yun reacted quickly. She raised her spear and threw out a cold light in response.
Clang!
The two light blades collided in the air, causing an explosion in the air, causing the surrounding bluestone floor to instantly crack!
This was not the end. Immediately after, a figure flashed out from the explosion.
Zhao Yun focused her gaze and saw that the person was wearing a blue and white robe, had short hair, and was holding a wooden sword. In half a breath, he had arrived in front of her.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Yun questioned as she raised her spear to meet the attack. With the help of the powerful force, her body was pulled back five steps.
As the old saying goes, a weapon is an inch longer and an inch stronger.
However, facing an absolute swordsman, he was a little clumsy and not very suitable.
Suddenly, Zhao Yun put down the long spear in her hand and drew a sword from her waist to fight.
This sword was called the Azure Melon!
When the blue-and-white-robed young man saw the sword, his expression changed and became filled with heat.
He wasn't asking for the sword, but he admired the person who used it!
For a moment, there were sparks and flint, and the sound of explosions continued.
After dozens of rounds, the two were still evenly matched.
……
"Why is it so noisy?"
At this moment, Ying Zheng, who was resting in his room, was woken up by the sounds of fighting. He put on his clothes and walked out.
"King, be careful of the assassins!"
After saying that, Zhao Yun flashed in front of Ying Zheng to protect him.
However, something unexpected happened.
The blue-and-white-robed young man suddenly withdrew the wooden sword in his hand, knelt down before Ying Zheng, and said respectfully.
"Greetings, King of Qin, from Gui Gu's successor, Ge Nie!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Han, who was cultivating in the Vajra Sun Battering Banner, was so surprised that he almost jumped up.
The world is scarce, and the people are in turmoil.
Of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, only I can dominate!
He did not transmigrate to the Warring States and Qin Dynasty in the long river of history, but to the Great Qin Dynasty in the Qin Era and the Bright Moon.
The person kneeling in front of the hall was Ge Nia, the number one swordsman in the world!
It was really exciting.
"Guigu 'zi's successor, Great Qin's number one swordsman!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ge Nia knelt on the ground and respectfully replied,"Ge Nia has come to join the king and serve him!”
There was a popular saying among the people: When the Ghost Valley appears, the vassals will be afraid. When the Ghost Valley is stable, the world will rest!
Hearing Ge Nia's words, although Ying Zheng was excited, he remained calm.
"Why me?"
Ge Nia immediately cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty, ever since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been constant disputes between the various countries. The people have been displaced, and Your Majesty has the ability to save the lives of the world!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng could not help but look at Ge Nia in a new light. After asking the ancestor for his opinion, he kept Ge Nia by his side.
"Zilong, I like swordsmanship.”
Ge Nie said.
"Mister Ge Nia, thank you for showing mercy.”
In the previous battle, Ge Nia had been using a wooden sword instead of a treasured sword, yet he was able to transform Sword Qi. This was enough to prove that his strength was not inferior to Zhao Yun's.
The two of them chatted for a while.
……
The next day, in the Qin Palace.
In the imperial court.
Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng released a mighty pressure that made him look like a Heavenly Emperor, shocking all the officials in the imperial court. All of them lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
"Your Majesty, today's court affairs…"
Before Prime Minister Lu Buwei could finish his words, Ying Zheng interrupted him coldly.
"Prime Minister, I have been on the throne for a long time, so I should understand Prime Minister.”
"This…"
Ying Zheng's every word was powerful, and in front of all the officials in the court, Lu Buwei did not know how to step down.
"Your Majesty, leave these trivial matters to Lu Xiangguo. Your Majesty's health is the most important.”
The one who spoke was Lu Buwei's henchman, Doctor Ling.
On the surface, he was concerned about Ying Zheng's health, but in fact, he was indirectly asking him to hand over the power obediently so that he could sit on the throne.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's aura suddenly rose, becoming domineering and tyrannical.
"Do you mean to tire my Prime Minister to death?”
When the doctor heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and explained,"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant."
"What does that mean?"
"I thought that Prime Minister Father was already old and was afraid that he would be exhausted by the trivial matters of the court, so I decided to share the burden.”
Ying Zheng's words made Lu Buwei even angrier, and the imperial court felt helpless.
He couldn't possibly tell the King of Qin in front of all the ministers that he, Lu Buwei, wanted this power and that he should scram and stop sitting here.
Lu Buwei was not that kind of fool.
Although he had many followers in the Qin Kingdom, there were still some who were loyal to the royal family of the Qin Kingdom and believed that Ying Zheng was the King of the Great Qin.
Lu Buwei had no choice but to take the opportunity.
" I, Lu Buwei, thank you, Your Majesty…"
