The rain in the sky had unknowingly become heavier.
Under the cover of the night, one figure after another sat in a carriage and walked into the Imperial Palace with suspicion.
Since it was the invitation of the King of Qin, naturally no one dared to refuse.
Lu Buwei was one of them.
Lu Buwei didn't know anything about the Feast at Hongmen. If he knew about the killing intent of the banquet, he wouldn't have been so defenseless.
But soon, Lu Buwei frowned.
This was because there were a few more carriages in the rain.
"Minister, you're here too? Haha, Your Majesty has also invited me, how lucky!”
"Greetings, Minister!"
"I didn't expect Lord Minister to come tonight. To be able to attend the banquet with Lord Minister is really a great fortune for us small figures!”
In the carriage, a figure lifted the curtain and bowed from afar.
"All of you are the backbone of the Great Qin Dynasty, how can you be called small figures? Don't make this old man suffer.”Lu Buwei answered with a smile, but he was also puzzled.
What was going on?
What was wrong with Ying Zheng? A banquet in the middle of the night? What kind of treasure did he obtain? Or did he get a beauty?
There was no need to invite so many people!
But as they continued to walk, more and more carriages and people came, and Lu Buwei's expression became a little strange.
Why were they all from his faction?
In fact, Lu Buwei wasn't the only one who had realized this. The others were also stunned.
"What's going on?"
"You're here too?"
"Why are you here too?"
"Didn't you say that you had something to do tonight and needed to travel to Taiyuan overnight?”
Lu Buwei looked at the carriages around him in confusion. When he saw an extremely gorgeous carriage, his expression gradually changed.
"That's... Zhao Ji's carriage?"
Zhao Ji lifted the curtain.
He exchanged glances with Lu Buwei.
Obviously, the two old foxes were keenly aware that something was wrong.
After some hesitation, Lu Buwei summoned a guest and gave him some instructions. The guest nodded and left in a hurry in the rainy night.
In front of the Imperial City, everyone alighted from the car and braved the rain to walk past the Dragon Martial Sect and the Dark Phoenix Palace. Then, they went around the Earth Altar and the Heaven Altar and arrived in front of the Great Qin Imperial Palace. They turned left and walked along a high wall towards a palace.
Lu Buwei followed behind Lady Zhao. The two of them looked even more suspicious and frowned.
What was going on?
Why were they surrounded by officials from their faction?
"Could it be that Zheng 'er has thought things through and recognized the situation, so he took the initiative to hold a banquet and prepare to hand over his power?”Zhao Ji frowned.
"The possibility isn't high, but we can't completely deny it.”Lu Buwei was also dumbfounded. What the hell was this Ying Zheng? He was completely out of the norm!
On the night before he ascended the throne, he even politely called him Zhongfu and promised to hand over Shangyang and Taiyuan. That was called kindness.
In the end, the coronation ceremony gave him a hard time, making him unable to raise his head.
Now, there was an inexplicable banquet held for their faction?
Even Lu Buwei was confused by this series of actions!
Could it be that Ying Zheng had really gotten over it?
Lu Buwei's brows furrowed and finally turned into a cold snort. No matter what he was up to, no matter whether he wanted to or not, he was destined to lose the power of the King of Qin in the morning court tomorrow!
What he needed was an obedient King Qin, not a Ying Zheng like this!
It was the same for Zhao Ji. Although she was a woman, her desire for power was something that ordinary people could not understand.
Lu Buwei and Lady Zhao strode into the palace.
Then, their expressions changed.
"Why are they here?”Lu Buwei's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.
Because there was a large group of people sitting in the palace!
It was not someone else.
It was Lady Huayang, Lord Quanyang, and the others!
There were also many bureaucrats from their faction!
"Swoosh!"
On the other side, Lord Quanyang and Lady Hua Yang also stood up and looked at Lu Buwei and Lady Zhao in shock!
His expression was aghast!
He had never thought that they would appear here!
...............
This woman needs to be conquered."" Wahaha, as expected, I knew their expressions would be wonderful!”
"Look at Lu Buwei and the others. Are they dumbfounded? Hahaha!"
The fairy nibbled on her pig trotter. The host is filming and getting ready to get into character. Be serious!”
"These actors are really amazing. In less than three days, they finished the script and started acting in real time. They all acted so well and didn't act at all!”
The old professor was not bald. Don't be rude!"
Zhuge Buliang: " Alright, Old Baldy, don't get into character, Lord Qin. It's almost time. We're almost there!" Shall we begin? I can't wait!"
"Lord Qin, is it really alright? This group of people is a little too many. It's not easy to control."
"Fortunately, this was just an act. If it was really like this, then it would be terrible.”
Zhuge Buliang: " Yes, if history changes, there will probably be a lot of problems in the future generations, right? Haha!"
"Why are you thinking so much? Are you really in character? Brother Zhuge, you've changed! You actually didn't say anything just now!"
“.......”
In the distance.
Behind the curtain.
A figure was sitting on a high chair, shrouded in the darkness of the night. Lightning rose, illuminating Ying Zheng's calm face. He looked into the distance, nodded slightly, and slowly opened his mouth with a thunderous roar.
"The good show can begin now."
.............
"Hu, hu, hu…"
In the pouring rain, Lu Buwei's hanger-on was drenched. He desperately came to the Minister's residence, ready to deliver a message.
She was out of breath and was about to knock when the door opened.
The black-robed figure's face was filled with doubt. Then, he frowned and berated.
"As a guest of the Prime Minister, how can you run like this! This was a disgrace to the Minister!”
"Li Si?" The guest was stunned for a moment before leaning against Li Si as if he had been pardoned. He panted heavily in exhaustion.
" That's…that's great. Quick, let's return to the Prime Minister's residence. The Prime Minister has gone to the palace. The situation doesn't seem right. There's something important…"
The guest's eyes widened.
Before he could finish, he lowered his head, trembling.
A sharp saber pierced through his chest.
Li Si twisted his wrist expressionlessly.
The rain poured down, and the blood could not stop for even a moment.
With a plop, someone in the lodge in the distance asked in confusion," Brother Li Si, who's outside?”
"Haha, no one."
"It's just a bug."
The gatekeeper nodded. Then, the group of people continued drinking and eating in the small house. They laughed and said," Brother Li Si is really nice. You still remember us when you go out for a meal on such a rainy day!" Not only did they bring back food, but they also helped with work. See, what are brothers? This is it!"
"Haha, it's fine.”
Li Si's tone was friendly as he casually threw the body into a ditch not far away, but his expression was unimaginably cold.
"Anyway... This is the last meal."
