On the streets of Xianyang.
A luxurious four-wheeled carriage with a lantern with the word 'Lu' hanging on it slowly moved forward.
Seeing this carriage, the people of Xianyang avoided it as if they were avoiding a plague.
Because they knew that the person in the carriage was someone they could not afford to offend, and did not dare to offend.
Inside the carriage, Lu Buwei, who had just left court, was sitting with his eyes closed in front of a low table.
His expression kept changing, clearly thinking about something.
At this moment, Lu Buwei's number one confidant, Lao Ai, was kneeling in front of him. He said hesitantly," Your Excellency, I don't understand why Your Excellency didn't mention promoting Qin Yi, the general of the Qin army whom Your Excellency has high hopes for today.”
Lu Buwei shook his head lightly. Could it be that he was afraid that he could not control Qin Yi, so he did not dare to let Qin Yi improve rapidly?
In that case, wouldn't Lu Buwei and Lu Xiangguo's prestige be affected in the future?
Shaking his head, Lu Buwei suddenly recalled that in the imperial court today, the young Emperor Ying Zheng, who was originally weak and weak, had become so powerful.
Today, even he himself was interrupted.
Staring coldly at Lao Ai, Lu Buwei said softly,""Lao Ai, have there been any changes in the palace recently? For example, have any people or goods fallen into His Majesty's hands?，”
Lao Ai shook his head at first, then nodded hesitantly and said," Lord Prime Minister, I don't have anyone. It's just that a few days ago, Qin Yi presented a piece of calligraphy to King Ying Zheng.”
Hearing this, Lu Buwei's expression changed.
Staring at Lao Ai coldly, Lu Buwei said,""Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?”
Looking at Lu Buwei's expression, Lao Ai knew that he was truly enraged this time.
Lao Ai quickly knelt down, shivering as he said,"
"Prime Minister, this subordinate thought that it was just an ordinary painting. Besides, this subordinate has also examined it. There is nothing special about that painting.”
"Previously, Lord Prime Minister was busy with official matters, so this subordinate did not report such a small matter to Lord Prime Minister.”
Lu Buwei's face was ashen as he shouted angrily,"
"Foolish, extremely foolish!"
"This Prime Minister has said that as long as it is related to the King of Qin, it is not a small matter. Now, you simply don't take this Prime Minister's words seriously!”
Lao Ai was even more flustered when he heard that. He knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. He did not even raise his head as he apologized repeatedly.
Seeing Lao Ai in such a situation, Lu Buwei sighed in his heart. He was really tired.
He was physically and mentally exhausted from being in charge of the lives and deaths of such a huge empire.
Frowning slightly, Lu Buwei murmured," Ah, it seems that there's something else in that painting!”
As he said that, he turned to Lao Ai and asked," Lao Ai, have you received any news from the Startling Salamander?”
Lao Ai did not dare to pause for even a moment. He quickly said," Lord Prime Minister, there has been no news from the Startling Salamander for several days, and the subordinate who went to contact it has yet to return.”
At this point, Lao Ai finally came to his senses.
He looked at Lu Buwei in shock and stammered,""Prime Minister…Lord Prime Minister…you mean…Startling Salamander has betrayed us?”
Lu Buwei shook his head and murmured,"
"The Startling Salamander has probably already betrayed the Prime Minister and joined Qin Yi.”
"What is this Qin Yi trying to do?”
"Didn't he think about the consequences of going against me?”
At this point, Lu Buwei's eyes flashed with a cold light." All uncontrollable factors must be nipped in the bud!”
After saying that, Lu Buwei turned to Lao Ai, who was still in shock, and said coldly," Lao Ai, Qin Yi will return to Xianyang City in a few days. I don't want him to appear in Xianyang City. Do you understand?"”
Lao Ai nodded repeatedly." I understand. I will make sure that Qin Yi will never reach Xianyang City!”
"Yes!"
Lu Buwei nodded his head lightly and said," We'll discuss sending you to the palace after we've settled the matter with Qin Yi.”
"Yes, Lord Prime Minister, this subordinate understands!”
Lao Ai bowed and greeted respectfully.
Then, seeing that Lu Buwei had already closed his eyes and was pretending to sleep, he stood respectfully at the side and didn't say anything else.
The carriage slowly moved away from the bustling street.
…………………
At the same time, in Ying Zheng's bedroom in the Qin Palace.
At this moment, Ying Zheng, who had just left the Town Hall, was standing in the middle of his bedroom, staring at a painting with sparkling eyes.
It was an ink painting with black ink on a white background.
There were dragons, tigers, and all kinds of beasts and birds in the painting. Among them, the Azure Dragon was stuck in a quagmire and could not extricate itself.
"Your Majesty, you've been looking at this painting for a long time. Why is that?”
At this moment, a red-haired, fair-skinned man spoke in a sharp voice.
Hearing the man's words, Ying Zheng turned around, looked at the man and said with a smile,""Hehe, Zhao Gao, this is an ink painting that is similar to my current situation, and the person who gave it to me is General Long Xiao, who is currently in the limelight in Great Qin, Qin Yi!”
Speaking up to this point, Ying Zheng stopped talking.
Some people would understand halfway.
For example, this chamberlain who had been following him.
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Gao's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise,""Your Majesty, General Qin has the heart of a dragon!”
Ying Zheng nodded and said," I think so too. In a few days, General Qin will come to Xianyang. I would like to see what this hero looks like!”
Speaking up to this point, Ying Zheng's face suddenly turned a little gloomy, and he murmured," I hope he can help me out of this predicament.”
Zhao Gao looked at the young emperor and sighed in his heart," The King was also a pitiful person!
………………
Late at night, it was still Xianyang, still that quiet courtyard.
In the courtyard, the young man looked at the setting sun with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, Thief Zhi, who had just returned from the northwest border, was reporting something.
"Did he really say that?"
After a long while, the young man asked with a frown.
Thief Zhi nodded." Yes, Young Master. He seems to know about your relationship with the Mo Family.”
Hearing this, the young man hesitated for a moment before suddenly saying,"If only we had directly killed him that day. He defeated 100,000 enemies alone. He was truly an unparalleled general!”
However, Thief Zhi was a little suspicious of the young man's words." Young Master, his strength is extraordinary. I was there during the battle that day. That kind of divine might is not something that can be done by humans!”
Sighing slightly, the young man said softly,""Many people are unwilling to see such a person appear in the State of Qin. It seems that when that person returns to Xianyang, it will be the time for the world to meet.”
At the same time, the various countries in Shandong and the various sects in Jianghu were also terrified by the battle at the Qin border.
In such a dangerous situation, Qin Yi could be killed with just 20,000 soldiers. Such a peerless general was shocking to the world.
Everyone thought that another person who looked like Baiqi would appear in the State of Qin.
