Ying Zongzheng also swept his gaze across the Town Hall. When he saw this scene, he felt a chill in his heart.
Sigh! Was Great Qin really going to fall?
As he sighed in his heart, Ying Zong turned his gaze towards the young emperor sitting on the high platform.
Suddenly, his expression froze because he seemed to see a glimmer of light in the youth's eyes.
He was very familiar with that light because he had seen it on another person sitting on the high platform.
And that person was King Zhaoxiang of Qin! A Sage of the Great Qin Dynasty.
He knew that those eyes were filled with ambition, ambition for power, and ambition for the world.
This…Was there still hope for the Great Qin Empire?
With that thought in mind, Ying Zongzheng suddenly gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Buwei with a ferocious expression.
"Lu Buwei, you wild and ambitious man. I'll fight you to the death!”
Ying Zongzheng roared as he pulled out his sword from the waist of the guard beside him. He gripped the sword tightly and stabbed it at Lu Buwei.
Because they weren't too far away, Ying Zongzheng quickly arrived beside Lu Buwei.
Just as the sword in his hand was about to stab Lu Buwei, a black shadow suddenly appeared and blocked the sword.
Immediately after, the black shadow pulled out the long sword at his waist. A sword pierced through Ying Zongzheng's chest, piercing through his heart.
Seeing this sudden scene, the entire Town Hall fell into chaos.
Amongst them, there were two people who didn't move.
One of them was the person that Ying Zong wanted to assassinate, Lu Buwei.
Taking out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiping the blood off his body, Lu Buwei said coldly,""Men, drag Ying Zongzheng's corpse away and return it to his family.”
Soon, under Lu Buwei's orders, a group of palace guards walked into the Conference Hall and dragged Ying Zongzheng, who was already dead, out.
Seeing this scene, the other person whose expression had not changed, the current ruler of the State of Qin, Qin Wangzheng, could not help but have an inexplicable look flash in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up.
Slightly turning around, Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng, cupped his hands and said with a smile,"
"Your Majesty, you must have seen it. Ying Zongzheng wanted to assassinate me first. My subordinates chose to defend themselves in order to protect me.”
"Also, Your Majesty, since Ying Zongzheng is already dead, and the position of Zongzheng is extremely important, it can't be left empty forever. In my opinion, Xue Scheeren is not bad, so why don't we let him temporarily hold the position of Zongzheng!”
After saying that, Lu Buwei turned around and strode out of the meeting hall without even looking at the ministers.
On the other side, looking at Lu Buwei's departing figure and the thin figure who had been following him all this while, Ying Zheng's expression did not change. But at this moment, a storm was raging in his heart.
……………
Capital Xianyang, outside the palace.
At this moment, a luxurious carriage pulled by eight horses was parked at the entrance of the palace. There were nearly a hundred grim-faced guards accompanying the carriage.
Looking at this posture, anyone could tell that the person sitting in this carriage was extraordinary.
The word " Lu " hung high beside the carriage, allowing more than half of the people in Xianyang City to guess the identity of the person sitting inside. It was the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, Lu Buwei!
At this moment, Lu Buwei, who had just left the Town Hall, was sitting in the carriage, resting with his eyes closed.
The man in black who had just killed Ying Zongzheng was kneeling respectfully in front of Lu Buwei.
At this moment, the black-clothed man had already taken off his mask, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. The man's face was somewhat pale, and his gaze was very gloomy, making people feel very uncomfortable.
"Lord Prime Minister, why did Ying Zongzheng go so crazy today? Could it be that he has really gone crazy?”
The man in black asked Lu Buwei carefully.
After a long while, Lu Buwei opened his cold eyes and said slowly,"
"Ke ke, that Ying Zongzheng's actions are merely to tarnish this prime minister's reputation.”
"You see, tomorrow the whole of Xianyang will spread rumors that I monopolize the power of the court, and there will even be news that I want to usurp the throne.”
"This…"
The man in black was shocked, and then his expression changed." Prime Minister, what should we do?”
"Don't worry."
Waving his hand, Lu Buwei said confidently,"
"It's just an old man's petty trick. It can't pose a threat to this minister. When the time comes, you can order the people of the net to kill all the people who spread the rumors!”
"This time, however, the benefits I received were something that Old Man Ying couldn't understand. Once he died, the position of Zong Zheng was taken by my hanger-on Xue Scheeren. This way, I have five subordinates among the nine ministers, and I have taken up more than half of them.”
Lu Buwei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing Lu Buwei's smug expression, the man in black couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.""Hehe, Lord Prime Minister, if that group of people wants to deal with you, they're simply courting death. They don't know that a mantis trying to stop a chariot will definitely die!”
"Yes!"
Stroking his beard, Lu Buwei said lightly,""Not only that, even though I was testing Qin Mu this time, he killed Yang Feng, which made me quite satisfied.”
Then, Lu Buwei turned to the man in black and said with a smile,"
"Lao Ai, today, today, send someone to inform Qin Mu to come and see me, I will reward him greatly!”
"This Prime Minister hasn't seen him for quite some time, so this is a good opportunity to inquire about the situation in the palace.”
"Yes, sir!"
The black-robed man, Lao Ai, quickly lowered his head in agreement.
However, no one noticed the faint cold glint that flashed across Lao Ai's eyes. Naturally, it was not directed at Lu Buwei.
Ever since Lao Ai had followed Lu Buwei, he had been promoted to the top, and had become the commander of the number one assassin organization under Lu Buwei, the Network. But that was all he could do.
Originally, Lu Buwei was quite happy that an extraordinary killer had appeared in the net, but Lao Ai was already feeling a little dissatisfied.
Not only that, even the chance to enter the palace was snatched away by Qin Mu.
This had added a trace of enmity between Lao Ai and Qin Mu, which was also why Lao Ai had wanted to target Qin Mu previously.
However, because Lu Buwei was here, Lao Ai did not dare to make his expression too obvious, so he could only lower his head and keep quiet.
After giving his orders, Lu Buwei closed his eyes to rest.
