Under Lao Ai's command, a large number of Qin cavalrymen rushed out of Xianyang and scattered in all directions, chasing after Ying Hua!
Moreover, Lao Ai had even issued a warrant for Ying Hua's arrest with the seal of Empress Dowager Zhao Ji!
It was evident how powerful Lao Ai was!
In the Prime Minister's Residence in Xianyang, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin, Lu Buwei, heard the news from his subordinates. A meaningful smile appeared in his old eyes,""I underestimated Ying Hua."
As soon as Lu Buwei said this, one of the guests in the hall laughed and said,""Haha, that Lao Ai has been arrogant and despotic for a long time now because he has the Empress Dowager's favor.
Not long after he was conferred the title of Marquis, he even stuck his hand into the court to fight for power with the Prime Minister!
With this, Lao Ai's face was going to be completely destroyed!”
"That's right. Lao Ai persuaded the Empress Dowager to place his henchmen in important positions in the imperial court.
However, Ying Hua's actions had not only made him unable to establish his authority, but also made him lose his dignity. He had let people see the true colors of his useless subordinates!
It can be said that you failed to steal a chicken and ended up losing rice!"
Another guest spoke.
Lu Buwei stroked his beard and smiled.
Recently, Lao Ai had been relying on the Empress Dowager's support to push him forward time and time again, and he had long been dissatisfied with it.
However, because Lu Buwei owed Empress Dowager Zhao Ji a favor for delaying the King of Qin's personal rule, and because Lao Ai was sent into the palace by Lu Buwei, if they fell out with each other, Lu Buwei would also be implicated. Therefore, he had to endure and give in temporarily.
His purpose was to let the Empress Dowager know that Lao Ai was a useless person who could not be helped after he made a mistake. He could be a male toy, but not a chess piece!
But now, Ying Hua had single-handedly killed Lao Ai and completely disgraced him. This was a pleasant surprise for Lu Buwei!
" Now, Empress Dowager should know Lao Ai's incompetence…"
Lu Buwei laughed silently in his heart.
He wanted to continue sitting on the fishing platform and wait for the day Lao Ai's power was taken back!
However, at this moment, Lu Buwei did not know that Lao Ai was not only Empress Dowager Zhao's male toy and chess piece, but also the father of Zhao's other two children...
Otherwise, Lu Buwei would never have thought that way!
……
When Lao Ai's men were frantically setting up traps around Xianyang City to hunt them down…
They would never have thought that Ying Hua, whom they were chasing after, had already appeared in Hangu Pass!
Xianyang was more than 230 kilometers away from Hangu Pass, which was about 460 miles.
If they didn't change horses along the way, they would have to travel for at least a day and a night on an ordinary horse before they could reach Hangu Pass.
Ying Hua, on his Dark Stallion Stepping on Snow, arrived in less than half a day!
At this moment, the people sent by Lao Ai were still eating ashes within a radius of dozens of miles around Xianyang City!
"Stop and show me your identity card!"
In front of the city gates, a centurion raised his hand and signaled Ying Hua to stop.
Hangu Pass was the most important checkpoint of the Qin country and also the throat of the six countries that came out of the Qin country. It had always been garrisoned with heavy troops.
The merchants, envoys, and travelers of the six states who wanted to enter Qin had to be inspected at the east gate of Hangu Pass.
If the people of the State of Qin wanted to leave, they had to go through an inspection at the west gate of Hangu Pass before they could pass.
Between the east and west gates was the Hangu Pass. It was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to barge in.
As a citizen of the State of Qin, Ying Hua naturally knew the rules.
Therefore, he slowly reined in his horse, took out his household registration, and calmly handed it to the general.
On the way here, he had already changed out of his bloody clothes, so there was nothing unusual about him.
As for Lao Ai's pursuers, it would take them at least a day to arrive here, so there was nothing to worry about.
"So it's Young Master Hua, I've been disrespectful!”
After the general saw Ying Hua's household register, he respectfully handed it back to Ying Hua.
The young masters of the imperial clan of Qin might not be valued in Xianyang, but in the hearts of the old Qin people, they were still respected.
Ying Hua nodded and put the register back into his arms."Can I go over now?"
"Young Master, if you are an ordinary citizen, you can come out of seclusion with your household registration.
However, you are the young master of the State of Qin. If you want to leave seclusion, you still need the king, the empress dowager, or the prime minister's warrant.”
The Hundred General said with a troubled expression.
The laws of the Qin country were strict, especially the military law. No one dared to violate it.
Ying Hua immediately understood. No wonder his cousin, the King of Qin, had asked Meng Tian to send him a secret order before he left. He had also mentioned Li Xin, the deputy general of Hangu Pass.
"Alright, Li Xin is the same as Meng Tian. In the future, he will also be a famous general and a fierce general!
He could use this opportunity to farm another wave of rewards!”
Thinking of this, Ying Hua looked at the hundred generals and said,""Is General Li Xin here?"
"General Li Xin is currently patrolling the city. If Young Master wants to see him, this general will send someone to invite him!”
Hearing Ying Hua ask about Li Xin, the hundred generals immediately replied without any suspicion.
The general of Hangu Pass was Prime Minister Lu Buwei's confidant.
However, Li Xin was a childhood friend of the Great King.
Gong Zihua was the King's cousin, so it was normal for him to know General Li Xin.
Soon, a valiant young general came from the city.""This lowly general Li Xin greets Young Master."
Although Li Xin had never seen Ying Hua before, he had heard about him from his subordinates on the way here. Therefore, when he saw Ying Hua with the Mystic Bird Jade Pendant on his waist, he immediately spoke.
"General Li Xin, let's talk in private.”
Ying Hua nodded, got off the horse, and walked to the side with Li Xin.
Without waiting for Li Xin to ask any questions, Ying Hua took out the King of Qin's secret order and said,""I want to come out of seclusion."
As soon as he saw the secret order, Li Xin's eyes trembled. He immediately understood something and said in a low voice,""Young Master, please follow me!"
Ying Hua put away the secret order, led the horse and followed behind Li Xin.
With Li Xin opening the way, the hundred generals naturally wouldn't stop him.
At the same time, Ying Hua said in his heart,"System, enter Li Xin."
Soon, Ying Hua and Li Xin's images appeared in the system.
This time, Ying Hua and Li Xin's projections played for a long time.
Li Xin's age was similar to Meng Tian's. They were both around 20 years old and were also young descendants of Generals.
But in history, Li Xin was famous for his battle prowess, while Meng Tian was famous for her leadership.
In addition, Li Xin was in the army and had already experienced a few battles. He was much stronger than Meng Tian who had never been on the battlefield.
Even though Ying Hua was wielding the famous sword Dragon Abyss, wearing the Black Tortoise Armor, and had been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, and had the power to kill a person with every step he took, he still suffered many sword strikes when facing Li Xin.
However, because of the Black Tortoise Armor's projection protecting his body, he was basically not injured.
Although Li Xin was brave and had a lot of combat experience, he was still defeated by Ying Hua's attack.
"Congratulations to the host for defeating the future famous general Li Xin for the first time. You have been rewarded with the Sword Art of the Yue Maiden!”
The moment Li Xin's health bar was emptied, a system notification sounded in Ying Hua's mind.
When he saw the reward this time, Ying Hua's heart was filled with joy!
It was actually the Sword Art of the Yue Maiden!
Although the name sounded gentle, this sword technique was truly famous for its strength!
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Shepherd Girl Ah Qing of the State of Yue had a white ape in the mountains as her teacher and had comprehended a profound sword technique.
With a bamboo stick in his hand, he could wipe out thousands of troops, creating a legend that 3,000 Yue soldiers could not be defeated!
This time, he had defeated Li Xin, who was slightly stronger than Meng Tian, and obtained the Sword Art of the Yue Maiden. Ying Hua was overjoyed!
