At night.
The stars were twinkling.
The blazing sun had already set.
A crescent moon hung in the sky, like the sweet smile of a gentle woman, emitting a white halo.
A cold light flashed.
The air temperature plummeted.
The night in Xianyang City was very cold.
On the streets and alleys, one could still see many passersby in a hurry.
North of Xianyang.
Zhang Manor.
This was the residence of the famous General Zhang Han in Xianyang!
Similarly.
Zhang Han was the leader of the First Emperor's personal guards, who was deeply trusted by the First Emperor, Ying Zheng. The First Emperor personally commanded the guards, and they could directly report to the First Emperor, so they could be considered as an organization directly under the First Emperor.
Ever since he left the palace and returned to the mansion, Zhang Han had been feeling uneasy.
"This matter…"
"Should we report this to His Majesty?"
Zhang Han frowned and paced back and forth in the study room, unable to make up his mind.
The Sixth Young Master's talent was too terrifying!
As the leader of the First Emperor's guards, he should be the first to report anything that happened!
Thinking of this…
Zhang Han took a deep breath and made a decision.
"Men, prepare the horses."
A group of servants waited for orders and immediately prepared horses for Zhang Han in front of the mansion.
Wearing his leather armor, Zhang Han carried the Xiang Dragon Sword at his waist, causing his entire body to exude a sharp aura.
After leaving the study, Zhang Han walked out of the mansion.
He jumped up.
It smoothly landed on the back of the horse.
"Giddyup!"
Riding the horse, Zhang Han left quickly.
Their destination…
Xianyang Palace!
……
It was late at night.
As the most prosperous palace in Xianyang City, Xianyang Palace was still brightly lit.
In Xianyang Palace.
Occasionally, he could see many maids standing in front of the palace door, holding candles and waiting to be summoned.
There were also some guards in neat and fine armor.
They held candles and wandered around the Xianyang Palace, responsible for the security of the palace and ensuring that no evil people would take the opportunity to sneak into the palace.
"First team, patrol the south. If you find anything unusual, report it immediately.”
"Team two…"
Groups of guards patrolled the area.
The entire Xianyang Palace was heavily guarded. Even a mosquito could not easily fly in.
At the same time.
In the palace.
A gentle breeze blew.
Strands of light wind blew in from outside the window.
The candlelight placed on top of the sandalwood swayed. As a result, the halo that shone on the ancient floor changed its original shape.
At the center of the palace.
A middle-aged man in a golden robe with a dragon pattern sat beside a wooden table. Under the illumination of the candle, he held Cheng Yu with both hands and carefully read the contents of the words above Cheng Yu.
His facial features were well-defined, and his eyes were exceptionally deep. He was expressionless, but his entire body emitted a majestic aura.
He had an imposing appearance!
He was not angry, but he was awe-inspiring!
He was…
The current First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
An Emperor who could easily suppress Great Qin's internal and external chaos!
His authority was peerless!
Unparalleled in ancient times!
"The remnants of the Chu Country…"
"Still stirring up trouble?"
"In addition, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy are more or less involved. Their shadows can be seen in many incidents.”
"They are also trying to stir up trouble and make Great Qin's internal waters even more turbid?”
"There's more."
"Outside of Shangjun, the Xiongnu are also eyeing us covetously.”
He put down the bamboo slip in his hand.
Ying Zheng rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired.
At this moment.
Dong dong dong!
The door was knocked lightly without any warning.
"Hmm?"
"Who else will be meeting you in the middle of the night?"
Ying Zheng shifted his gaze to the door.
At the same time, a respectful voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Han requests an audience!"
Zhang Han?
Ying Zheng was a little surprised.
What was it that was worthy of a late-night audience?
"Come in."
The sound fell.
Creak!
The door was slowly pushed open.
Zhang Han, who was wearing formal armor, walked into the palace with his head lowered.
He walked all the way to Ying Zheng and knelt down on one knee, his face full of respect.
"Zhang Han greets Your Majesty."
Not everyone could get Ying Zheng's permission to meet them at night.
It could be seen from this.
And how much trust did Ying Zheng have in Zhang Han!
"General Zhang Han, why are you meeting me so late at night?”
Ying Zheng showed a puzzled look as he slowly asked.
"Your Majesty, this humble servant did not hesitate to meet you late at night just to inform Your Majesty of one matter.”
"I didn't intend to disturb Your Majesty.”
"But after thinking about it, I still think it's best to let His Majesty know.”
"That's why he didn't hesitate to enter the palace at night!”
Zhang Han lowered his head and told the truth.
"What is it that can make General Zhang Han so worried? This makes me very curious. General Zhang Han, feel free to speak."
Ying Zheng's stern face showed a curious expression.
To be able to make Zhang Han worry so much, and finally think about it before meeting him late at night to report.
Obviously.
This matter shouldn't have been too important to Zhang Han.
"Your Majesty."
"This matter…"
"It involves the Sixth Young Master."
Zhang Han did not hesitate.
"Ziyi? What happened to him?"
"Could it be…"
"What trouble did he cause?"
Ying Zheng's eyelids twitched, then he asked in a very flat tone.
Although it was rare for them to see each other.
However, as a father, even if he neglected his own children, it was impossible for Ying Zheng to forget their names.
