Shu Prefecture was located in the south of Xianyang. It had a unique geographical location. Although it was far from Xianyang, it was still managed relatively peacefully.
The streets were bustling with people, making it seem prosperous.
As the most famous restaurant in Shu Prefecture, the Cloud Returning Restaurant had a very large population. As the saying goes, when there were more people, all kinds of rumors would naturally appear. Therefore, the Cloud Returning Restaurant was also the source of many news.
"Waiter, serve the wine!"
A young man dressed in white stepped into the Cloud Returning Restaurant. He was about twenty years old and had delicate facial features. There was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He glanced at the many guests in front of him and chose a seat by the window before sitting down cross-legged.
"Alright, please wait a moment.”
A servant with a towel on his shoulder quickly came to the young man's side and wiped the originally clean table again. He smiled respectfully and asked,"What would you like to eat?"
"Give me a few more dishes."
The young man smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth. He was extremely amiable.
"Alright."
The attendant left with a polite smile.
Soon, the table was filled with food and wine. The young man raised a small cup and took a sip. His eyes looked out the window, revealing an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes.
His name was Ying Ziyi, and he had been in this world for 20 years.
From the initial confusion to the habit, and now, he had completely integrated into this world.
Ying Zi thought that this was an ancient world, but he soon realized that the people here had internal energy, knew qinggong, and could kill with sword qi. Therefore, Ying Zi understood that this world was not an ordinary world.
As the second son of Ying Zheng, he had naturally come into contact with many powerful people. Only then did he realize that this was the world of the Bright Moon of the Qin Dynasty.
Although Ying Ziyi was Ying Zheng's son, and his status was almost at the top of the world, he did not feel too safe, because he knew very well that it was not peaceful inside and outside the court, and sooner or later, his status would be reduced to being worse than an ordinary person.
When Ying Zheng was alive, everything seemed peaceful. But, if Ying Zheng were to leave one day, Ying Ziyi would be met with a situation where his life would be in danger. The forces within the imperial court would be fighting, while the anti-Qin forces outside would be eyeing them covetously. Enemies would be everywhere.
Ying Ziyi knew the current situation very well. If he wanted to change the situation, he had to have a certain amount of power, but right now, the power he had was very weak.
"It's really not easy to get a certain amount of attention.”
Ying Zi poured another glass of wine and shook his head with a smile.
Although he was the Second Young Master, his status was far inferior to that of the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su. Other than the eldest son, the second son had the same status, while Ying Zheng's sons were almost uncountable. Moreover, ever since he was born, he had only seen Ying Zheng's face a few times in a hurry, and the conversations between them were less than a hundred words.
Just as Ying Zi was drinking alone, he heard the conversations of the guests in the Cloud Returning Restaurant.
"I heard that ghosts have appeared in our Shu County again. They target children and there have been dozens of cases of children being captured.”
"Ghost shadow? I remember that they were long wiped out by the soldiers guarding Shu County. Could it be that they were really ghosts that could not die? Don't scare me."
"I'm telling the truth. Let me tell you a secret. I was drunk last night. When I walked on the road, I felt a chill and sobered up a lot. Guess what I saw when I opened my eyes?”
"Could it be that you saw a ghost?"
"That's right, I saw them. Their feet left the ground, and I held my breath on the spot. My entire soul was scared out of my wits. Fortunately, they left quickly, or else I wouldn't have had my life to drink with you today, brother.”
"Really? Don't try to fool me. If that's really the case, then the soldiers of Shu County said that they had wiped them all out. This is really incompetent and caused us to suffer.”
“……”
The two middle-aged men had rosy cheeks as they continued to talk. Although they had lowered their voices, Ying Zi still heard them.
Ying Zi also stopped raising his wine glass. His eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly."I didn't expect that the anti-Qin remnants and the Ghost Shadow would appear together. Perhaps I can take the opportunity to catch a big fish.”
Right at this moment, a man in ordinary clothes came to Ying Ziyi's side. He didn't seem to stand out among the many people in Cloud Returning Restaurant. His mouth moved slightly, and he said respectfully,"Young Master, we found their tracks!”
