Outside the city gate, the 100,000-strong army was in a solemn state. The white jade carriage was slowly approaching Xianyang City under the protection of a few valiant cavalry.
At the city gate, Prime Minister Li Si was leading the officials to welcome them.
Li Si's eyes were filled with admiration and emotion as he watched the white jade carriage slowly approach the city gate. He was originally in charge of Ge Nia's defection.
He had first sent out elite soldiers to pursue Ge Nia, then sent out the black swordsman Sheng Qi. However, the battle at the Waning Moon Valley had completely destroyed his plans to use the Qin army to pursue Ge Nia.
Three hundred Dragon and Tiger Cavalrymen were killed by Gai Nia with a single strike!
After this battle, Ge Nia's reputation grew even more, and the world called him the Sword Saint. It was also because of this that Li Si had no choice but to ask Ying Zheng for Wei Zhuang's help.
After that, Quicksand took over but was still stopped by the Mo Family.
This made Li Si anxious as he looked at the map every day. As the Prime Minister of Great Qin, he couldn't even deal with the defection of a swordsman, and it was getting worse!
This was something that he, who had the ambition to leave his name in history, could not tolerate.
However, the return of the Marquis Champion to Qin changed everything. Li Si personally saw Qin Shi Huang return to his youth and watch the Mo family be destroyed in the battle report!
It had only been ten days since the return of Qin, and a series of major events had been completed so easily!
Looking at the white jade carriage, Li Si was filled with awe. He originally thought that the most important thing in the empire would be the distribution of power after the First Emperor obtained immortality.
However, he now felt that the most important thing for the Empire was what the Marquis Champion was going to do!
There were still alien races outside the Great Wall!
There was still the Bai Yue above the Southern Mountains!
It was rumored that there was a boundless land overseas!
Now that the First Emperor was immortal and the Empire had a pillar like the Marquis Champion, Li Si could see it more clearly these days.
Great Qin would become even more prosperous!
He needed to find a suitable position as soon as possible!
Otherwise, he would be eliminated very quickly!
When he saw the battle report of the Mo Clan being exterminated, he felt especially emotional. Since the ancient times, which dynasty and which generation had the grace of the Ying Clan's two heroes?!
Li Si no longer thought about how to fight for power with the officials. Instead, he started to figure out Ying Xin's thoughts. He wanted to seize the initiative!
The white jade carriage slowly drove to the city gate. Li Si's expression turned serious as he knelt down.
"This lowly official welcomes the return of the Marquis Champion!”
The officials said in unison.
"This lowly official welcomes the return of the Marquis Champion!”
"This lowly official welcomes the return of the Marquis Champion!”
"This lowly official welcomes the return of the Marquis Champion!”
The momentum covered the sky!
When the mountain cries gradually calmed down, Ying Xin's voice rang out from the white jade carriage.
"No need for formalities. Rise."
Li Si and the others stood up and made way for the white jade carriage.
However, Ying Xin did not leave. Instead, he looked at Prime Minister Li Si through the curtain and said indifferently,"
"Prime Minister, I have something to ask.”
"Lord Marquis, feel free to ask." Li Si's heart tightened as his mind started spinning.
What exactly was Ying Xin asking?
He had a sharp feeling that this question would determine many things!
Ying Xin looked at Li Si's nervous expression and glanced at the officials standing behind Li Si. He was a little disappointed.
In the past few days, he had already found an opportunity to summon Yu Huatian and the East Hall's disciples.
He even gave Yu Huatian a gold medal. Seeing this gold medal was like seeing him!
After that, Yu Huatian was sent to Xianyang by Ying Xin. As expected, Yu Huatian didn't let Ying Xin down and collected a large amount of information smoothly.
However, this information made Ying Xin burn with anger!
Great Qin prioritized military merits!
This military merit was not only a promotion, but also a reward of land. More importantly, every battle, everything of the enemy, wealth, slaves, would belong to the army that had made this military merit!
From the supreme general to the ordinary soldiers, everyone had a share!
It was because of this fair and open system that Great Qin had been able to establish itself within the seven countries and eventually annex the six countries!
However, Yu Huatian had found out that during the battle of the Mo Family, a large number of officials had obtained information from somewhere and had confiscated the gold and silver treasures in the Mo Family's stronghold in advance!
These things should have belonged to the army that destroyed the Mohist City of Traps!
But now, these hidden assets had been pocketed by others!
How could Ying Xin not be angry? He had joined the army when he was young, and he had never mistreated a single soldier!
Merits must be rewarded, and faults must be punished!
And he actually didn't know about this matter from the beginning to the end!
Moreover, the network did not report anything at all!
Two days ago, after Yu Huatian reported this information, Ying Xin was furious and wanted to punish Zhao Gao.
However, Zhao Gao had long disappeared!
This made Ying Xin very unhappy. She held it in until she reached Xianyang and saw Li Si.
The Network was originally divided into two parts. One was managed by Li Si, and the other was managed by Zhao Gao!
But now, most of the power was in Zhao Gao's hands!
"I want to ask, how stupid is the Prime Minister to hand over all the power of the network!”
"My soldiers destroyed the Mo Family, but the Mo Family's gold, silver, and properties were divided up by a bunch of useless people in Xianyang!”
"Great Qin is founded on military merits. Lord Prime Minister, how are you going to deal with this matter?”
A terrifying aura rose from the white jade carriage. Ying Xin's eyes were filled with rage, as if he wanted to burn everyone present into ashes!
Li Si froze. He had no idea about this at all!
However, a handsome young man wearing the robe of the East Chamber took out a list from his pocket and walked over with a cold smile.
"Lord Prime Minister, this is a list of all the people involved in this matter. Please handle it well!”
This person was Yu Huatian!
How could Li Si not know that he had been tricked by Zhao Gao!
He hurriedly took the name list from Yu Huatian's hands. He flipped it open and almost felt his soul ascend to heaven.
In Xianyang, one-third of the officials were involved in this matter!
The leader was the eighteenth prince, Huhai!
Li Si was about to go limp. He quickly knelt down and looked at the white jade carriage with a bitter smile.
"Lord Marquis, this matter is not something this lowly official can handle. However, this lowly official has failed in his duty.”
Ying Xin gave a cold snort. Of course, he knew that this was not something that Li Si could handle. There were only two people in the entire empire who could handle this matter, one was him, and the other was Ying Zheng!
This was Zhao Gao's plan!
Extremely ruthless!
The 15th of August was the day after tomorrow. No matter how he dealt with it, Zhao Gao would find an opportunity!
Ying Xin said coldly to Li Si.
"The death penalty can be avoided, but it is difficult to escape punishment. Hand over the power of the net.”
"However, as for the others…I remember that the city gate token also participated in the operation to divide my spoils of war, right?”
"Yu Huatian, kill him!" A cold and murderous voice rang out from the white jade carriage.
A gust of wind swept past Li Si!
Puchi!
The head of a figure among the officials suddenly shot into the sky, and blood splattered three feet high!
His eyes were still filled with disbelief. He was still thinking about how to curry favor with Ying Xin a second ago. How did he die in the next second?!
Seeing this scene, all the officials felt their hearts break. They all fled in fear and looked at the white jade carriage in panic.
Li Si froze. Ying Xin had made a move!
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead and back.
He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
Yu Huatian said respectfully as he walked towards the white jade carriage.
"Lord Marquis, the criminal has been captured!”
"Yes, let's go to Xianyang Palace.”Ying Xin's indifferent voice came from the carriage.
The white jade carriage started to move again. However, the surrounding officials looked at the white jade carriage with fear in their eyes.
They didn't know what had just happened!
The subordinate of the Marquis Champion had actually killed someone!
Moreover, he had killed the Xianyang City Gate Order!
Li Si was a smart person. He looked in the direction of the white jade carriage with fear in his eyes. He knew that a terrifying massacre was about to begin.
No matter how many people Zhao Gao had plotted and how many people he had implicated, the Marquis Champion would never show mercy!
Those who were disloyal to the empire only had one path before this Marquis Champion, and that was death!
Ying Xin sat in the carriage, his eyes cold and detached. He knew that Zhao Gao had a rebellious heart, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and so stupid.
However, it was also good. He would let these people come together!
He might as well kill them all in one breath!
