Lishan City, inside a room of a restaurant.
Jiang Yu was kneeling in front of a table, staring blankly at the table full of delicacies.
It wasn't that he had any objections to the delicacies on the table.
However, at this moment, his thoughts had already entered his mind, and he was recalling the system mission he had just received at the city gate.
Just as Jiang Yu took down the notice, a system notification sounded in his head, which was why he stopped in his tracks.
Ding! The Heavenly Gift Pack System has released the latest mission!
[System Quest: The Host has to rush to Xianyang within a month to help King Ying Zheng forge a divine sword. Upon completion of the quest, the Host will receive the quest reward. Failure will not be punished!]
[Mission reward: 10,000 system points, one heavenly system gift bag]
"This…"
Jiang Yu was hesitant about this mission.
The words he said at the city gate earlier were just to disgust that kneeling man. He was just a Confucian scholar sucking up to Lu Buwei.
As for whether or not he would go to Xianyang to forge a sword, Jiang Yu could only laugh!
How could those strangers know if he was going or not?
But now that the system mission had appeared, he was a little hesitant.
If he went, he might offend Lu Buwei, even though he was just a small character now.
But if he went, Jiang Yu believed he would be able to forge a divine sword. After all, he had integrated the inheritance of a god-level swordsmith.
Even though the fusion rate of the inheritance was only a little.
However, a month was enough for him to truly become a god-grade swordsmith in this world!
If he did not go, he would not be able to complete the mission issued by the Heavenly Gift Pack System.
Even if there was no punishment, it was not his style to watch the rewards slip away.
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Yu finally gritted his teeth.
"Humph, it's just Lu Buwei. If I can't even get past this, how can I, Jiang Yu, survive in this world?”
" Besides, since I, Jiang Yu, have the system, I'll do something earth-shattering. How can I just live on without doing anything?”
As he spoke, Jiang Yu picked up the wine cup in front of him and downed the wine in one gulp.
After staying in the restaurant for a day.
The next day, Jiang Yu went to Lishan City to buy an old horse. He carried his bag and headed toward Xianyang City.
…………
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and Jiang Yu had traveled day and night from Lishan City to the central city of the State of Qin, Xianyang.
Xianyang City could be said to be the birthplace of Chinese history.
Here, the first imperial power group was established, and the first emperor in history was born!
Jiang Yu was standing at the gate of Xianyang City.
Looking at the majestic city, the soldiers standing upright on the thick city walls, and the Black Dragon Flag fluttering in the wind, Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel excited.
This was the might of a great country!
"I hope that I didn't make the wrong choice. I also hope that person won't disappoint me!”
Jiang Yu sighed in his heart as he stepped into Xianyang City.
When Jiang Yu entered Xianyang City, the Qin Kingdom's Xianyang Palace was the most heavily guarded place.
……………
At this moment, in a certain palace in the Qin Kingdom's palace, a youth was kneeling in front of a table.
The young man looked quite handsome and was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
He wore a black robe with golden patterns embroidered with mountains, rivers, and grains, giving the young man an invisible sense of dignity.
In the young man's eyes, there was no youthful vitality of an ordinary youth. On the contrary, there was only indifference in his eyes.
Vaguely, in the depths of the young man's eyes, there was a hidden ambition.
At this moment, there was a chessboard on the table in front of the young man. The black and white pieces on the chessboard were in a stalemate.
However, what was puzzling was that there was no one sitting opposite the table, so who was playing chess with whom?
The young man put down a black piece in his hand and picked up a white piece. He looked at the chessboard and hesitated.
So it was this youth who was playing chess with him!
"Your Majesty, this servant has always been puzzled.”
At this moment, a red-haired young chamberlain standing behind the young man stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.
After saying this, the red-haired chamberlain did not speak again. He only looked carefully at the youth in front of him.
The young man was Ying Zheng, the current emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Although he had just ascended to the throne, he already had the aura of an emperor.
Perhaps it was precisely because of Ying Zheng's fierce aura that Lu Buwei, who had never paid much attention to Ying Zheng, became vigilant and stopped him from interfering in the government of the Great Qin Dynasty.
After hearing the red-haired chamberlain's doubts, Ying Zheng did not say anything. Instead, he continued to play chess with himself with the black and white pieces in his hands.
After a long while, a black piece fell from Ying Zheng's hand and directly surrounded the white pieces on the chessboard.
Obviously, Hei Zi won!
Only then did Ying Zheng finally relax from his concentration, picking up a teacup beside him and taking a sip.
"Zhao Gao, are you going to ask me why I gathered all the swordsmiths in the world at this time to forge a divine sword?”
Ying Zheng spoke slowly, but he did not turn around to look at the red-haired chamberlain named Zhao Gao.
" Yes, this servant has always been puzzled. Now that the imperial court is in danger, Lu Xiangguo has always been dissatisfied with the king. Now that this has happened, I'm afraid that Lu Xiangguo, he…he…"
Zhao Gao did not finish his sentence, but Ying Zheng knew what he was going to say.
"Hey!"
Sighing heavily, Ying Zheng said,"
"I know my current situation, but even if I don't do this, will Lu Buwei return the government to me?”
"Hehe, everyone knows that Lu Buwei is a wolf with wild ambitions. If it wasn't for the Qin royal family's prestige, Lu Buwei would have replaced him.”
As he said that, a cold light flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes.
"This…"
Zhao Gao stood at the side, not daring to say anything.
Although he had been together with Ying Zheng when he returned to Qin, a master and a servant were still master and servant, and that was an insurmountable gap.
"Haha!"
Suddenly, Ying Zheng sneered and said,""Everyone knows that I am a coward. I want to see how much dignity the Qin royal family still has!”
"So…so Your Majesty means that the forging of the sword this time is just a pretense to appease the hearts of the people?”
Nodding, Ying Zheng said lightly,
"That's right. If I really forge a divine sword this time, I can use this sword to pacify the hearts of the people.”
"Even if we can't forge a divine sword because we don't have a good swordsmith, we can use this opportunity to expose Lu Buwei's wild ambitions to the people.”
"This move will not do much harm to me and the Qin royal family.”
"Your Majesty's move is brilliant!"
Zhao Gao couldn't help but flatter him. Then, he continued,"Then it's up to the swordsmiths to decide.”
"Hey!"
Sighing heavily, Ying Zheng turned around with a desolate look on his face, and said lightly,""Zhao Gao, did the number of swordsmiths who came to Xianyang today increase?”
"This…"
Zhao Gao hesitated,
"Your Majesty, the number of swordsmiths registering has increased.”
"It's just…it's just…"
Zhao Gao carefully glanced at Ying Zheng, then said,"" As far as I know, Your Majesty, there's not a single powerful swordsmith…"
When Zhao Gao finished speaking, the hall instantly fell silent.
