Ying Zheng refuted Lu Buwei's suggestion right in front of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Ji, and the ministers, causing Lu Buwei to lose his prestige.
Thus, the court meeting ended on bad terms.
The ministers and officials all had their own thoughts and secretly colluded with each other.
Meanwhile, Lu Buwei's eyes were deep and dark, and he was furious.
Naturally, he would not let Ying Zheng off so easily. Otherwise, he would be replaced by someone else at some point in time!
"Empress Dowager Zhao Ji must have the same thoughts as me!”
"We still have to contact the Empress Dowager quickly and make a new plan!”
Lu Buwei's expression was hard to read as he made up his mind.
……
On the other side, after Ying Zheng returned to his palace in Xianyang, a sense of unease rose in his heart.
He dismissed the guards and eunuchs and paced around the room.
"I've rejected Lu Buwei on the spot, but he won't let it go!”
"I can't sit still and wait for death. I'd better seek the help of Wei River Spirit Venerable as soon as possible!”
Filled with anticipation, Ying Zheng fished out a huge pearl from his bosom, placing it in his palm and examining it carefully.
It was the Ancestral Dragon Pearl bestowed by Mo Xuan!
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up as he thought about how to communicate with the Spiritual Venerable of Wei River.
He collected his expression and bowed respectfully to Zu Longzhu, calling out softly,""Ying Zheng seeks an audience with the River God of Wei River!"
At this moment, Mo Xuan, who was patrolling the waters of the Wei River, suddenly had a thought. He sensed that the Ancestral Dragon Pearl had been awakened.
"Is there something that Ying Zheng is looking for me for?"
With a thought, Mo Xuan activated the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
In front of Ying Zheng, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl suddenly released a beam of mystical light. In the bright light, a majestic water dragon phantom appeared.
It was the manifestation of Mo Xuan's Spiritual Force!
Seeing this, Ying Zheng was pleasantly surprised. He put on his robe and bowed respectfully to Mo Xuan.
Ying Zheng greets the Spiritual Venerable!"
"Please help me, Spirit Venerable, to take control of the Imperial Court!”
Ying Zheng told Mo Xuan about his situation as a puppet, and then asked for help.
Mo Xuan naturally knew Ying Zheng's situation very well.
He nodded slightly and stared at Ying Zheng with his dragon eyes.
"This venerable self already knows everything about the Great Qin Dynasty Hall.”
"Now, the first step is to take control of the palace and then the court!”
"This venerable self can bestow you a peerless divine general to protect your safety. I can also bestow you with a division to help you with your matters!”
Ying Zheng was pleasantly surprised, looking at the water dragon in the divine light with great anticipation.
Mo Xuan immediately opened the system.
He had long known that the Dragon Energy points he had obtained could be exchanged for various treasures in the system's Myriad World Mall.
Among the countless treasures, there were all kinds of talented civil officials and generals!
Shua!
In Mo Xuan's mind, a light screen opened, showing the interface of the Myriad World Mall.
All kinds of treasures were densely packed inside, dazzling to the eye. He had already secretly looked at the treasure panel and knew what to do.
Mo Xuan did not care about anything else. He knew that the 200 Dragon Energy points he had just obtained was not enough to buy the precious treasures in the Myriad World Mall.
He directly chose a part of the general rule and looked at it carefully.
" Xiang Yu, the Overlord of West Chu: Powerful, outstanding in the art of war, invincible in the world. It's worth 160 Dragon Energy points!"
" War God Lu Bu: Shooting halberds at the main gate, both bow and horse, shocking battle strength. It's worth 140 Dragon Energy points!"
" Martial Saint Guan Yu: Devoted and loyal, unparalleled in loyalty, peerless in martial arts, divine in the art of war. It's worth 160 Dragon Energy points!"
……
Countless brave and outstanding generals appeared in front of Mo Xuan. Other than generals, there were also various organized armies that could be exchanged.
Moreover, the value of an army was far cheaper than a peerless general. The 3,000 Royal Guards only had 40 points of Dragon Energy!
Mo Xuan looked at the system interface excitedly and could not help but ponder.
"The guards chosen for Ying Zheng must not only have peerless martial strength, but also have a peerless art of war, and be able to take charge of an area and become a commander!”
"In the future, Great Qin will not be able to do without them!”
Mo Xuan thought to himself. This way, the choice was naturally very obvious.
"I only have 200 Dragon Energy points left, which is enough to buy one person.”
"In that case, let's choose Martial Saint Guan Yu!”
"After that, we will add 3,000 Royal Guards to Guan Yu's command!”
Not only was Guan Yu loyal and powerful, but he was also a talented general. He had drowned seven armies and shocked China!
Mo Xuan made up his mind and bought it without hesitation. He spent 160 Dragon Energy Points to exchange for Martial Saint Guan Yu. Then, he exchanged the remaining 40 points of Dragon Energy for 3,000 Royal Guards, completely depleting his Dragon Energy.
Shua!
The Ancestral Dragon Pearl suddenly shot out a magical beam of light, so bright that Ying Zheng could not open his eyes.
When the light faded away, Ying Zheng opened his eyes and saw a tall and mighty red-faced man with a long beard standing in front of him with a long saber in his hand.
Mo Xuan had already given the order through the system to give Guan Yu's leadership to Ying Zheng. At the same time, the three thousand Royal Guards appeared outside Xianyang City, waiting for orders.
Guan Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed.
"General Guan Yu greets Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he saw this mighty and powerful general with an astonishing murderous aura.
He personally stepped forward and helped Guan Yu up, his eyes filled with admiration.
"As for General, I will leave my safety to you!”
"Don't worry, General!"
"After I take control of the Qin country, I will not let General idle his precious saber. To roam the battlefield and expand the territory is General's destiny!”
Ying Zheng's sincere words immediately moved Guan Yu, and he admired Ying Zheng greatly.
Seeing this, Mo Xuan kept nodding.
Ying Zheng's way of being a ruler was extremely outstanding!
"I have also given you three thousand imperial guards who are stationed outside Xianyang City. As long as you give the order, Guan Yu will be brought to Xianyang!”
"With General Guan Yu's protection, you will be safe. You can take control of the Xianyang Palace first before plotting against the Imperial Court!”
"If there's anything, contact me through the Ancestral Dragon Pearl!”
After Mo Xuan finished speaking, he turned into light and dissipated. The Ancestral Dragon Pearl also dimmed.
"Farewell, Spiritual Venerable!"
Ying Zheng bowed towards the void and kept the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
As soon as Mo Xuan left, Ying Zheng looked at the mighty Guan Yu, feeling unusually excited.
This was the first time he had such a powerful bodyguard. He was extremely satisfied with the tall and mighty Guan Yu. At the same time, he was also imagining how magnificent Guan Yu's 3,000 Royal Guards would be.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the door.
A eunuch with a shrill voice was making a ruckus, loudly scolding the guards that Ying Zheng had sent away, and then walked into Ying Zheng's bedroom.
"What are you standing here for?”
"I don't know the Empress Dowager's order is to take care of the King day and night!”
"Move aside! I want to go in and see the king. If anything happens to the king, the empress dowager will hold you accountable!”
Clang!
The door of Ying Zheng's room was pushed open, and a tall and thin eunuch with a cunning face strode in arrogantly.
When he saw Ying Zheng, who was sitting upright, and Guan Yu, who was standing guard, his expression changed drastically.
"Great King! Who is this?"
"To dare enter the king's chambers, he must be an assassin!”
Seeing the way Guan Yu was protecting Ying Zheng, the eunuch naturally knew that he was not an assassin. But it was precisely because of this that he was even more furious.
The guards of the palace had long been under the control of the Empress Dowager and Lu Buwei, but now, there were actually warriors meeting Ying Zheng privately. Clearly, Ying Zheng had gained a power that was beyond his control, and he had to be destroyed!
The eunuch didn't put Ying Zheng in his eyes at all. He didn't even greet him, instead, he shouted with a ferocious look on his face.
"Men!"
"Take down this assassin who tried to assassinate the king!”
Ying Zheng was enraged, and his flames soared into the sky.
This eunuch was nothing but a dog in the palace, yet he dared to look down on his master, Ying Zheng, and even shouted at his own guards to kill him!
Ying Zheng stood up abruptly, his eyes focused as he looked at Guan Yu.
"Guan Yu, kill!"
Ying Zheng gave a cold shout, his murderous intent overflowing.
Guan Yu's expression did not change as he received the order. His eyes narrowed slightly.
Chi!
A bright saber light flashed, and the eunuch's head fell to the ground, and stinky blood splashed everywhere.
Gulp! Gulp!
The eunuch couldn't believe that Guan Yu would actually dare to kill him. He could only widen his eyes and die with his eyes wide open!
Thump!
Guan Yu paused his long saber. There was not a single trace of blood on the snow-white blade. His expression did not change, as if he had just drunk a cup of tea. It was as if he was not the one who had killed the person just now!
Seeing this, Ying Zheng was instantly excited, and his eyes shone brightly. This murderous aura, which was like cutting grass, greatly shocked Ying Zheng's mind.
"Good!"
"General Guan is mighty!"
As for the guards who had just gathered outside the door, they immediately stopped in their tracks. It was as if they had lost their souls and did not dare to look at Guan Yu!
