After nearly ten days, Ying Zheng's eastern patrol team finally returned to Xianyang from the sand dunes!
Wang Jian, Li Si, Wang Ben, and the other ministers in Xianyang had naturally received the news of Ying Zheng's return to Xianyang. They had been waiting at the city gate with their guards of honor, welcoming Ying Zheng's return!
The black dragon flag that was fluttering in the wind entered the sight of Wang Jian, Li Si, and Wang Ben, who had been waiting for a long time.
"His Majesty is back!"
Ying Zheng sat majestically on the royal carriage, looking at Xianyang City before him, then turned back and sighed,
"I was destined to die in the sand dunes! I didn't expect that I would come back from the sand dunes alive!”
Ying Zheng sighed, then looked up at the sky and muttered to himself,
"If I hadn't entered that mysterious fairy-like space and seen what was going to happen in the future, and was lucky enough to receive all kinds of magical rewards, how could I have today?”
"I wonder when I'll be able to return to the Immortal Land…"
Ying Zheng let out a long sigh. At this moment, the convoy had already reached the city gate and stopped.
Wang Jian, Li Si, Wang Ben, and all the other officials bowed to Ying Zheng and said,
"We welcome Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng looked at all the officials and ministers, nodded, and took out the blueprint of the Divine Arm Crossbow that Meng Tian had given him, the cotton seeds that Fusu had given him, and the blueprint of the waterwheel that he had obtained. He then said to Li Si,
"Prime Minister! I almost died of illness on my journey to the dune! Later, he was fortunate enough to enter the Celestial Realm and obtain all kinds of treasures together with Fu Su, Meng Tian, and the other beloved ministers! Take these waterwheel and divine arm crossbow blueprints and gather the best craftsmen in the world to forge these two items as soon as possible!”
When the officials heard this, they all looked at each other in confusion. Their hearts were filled with doubt!
"Nearly died of illness? Immortal realm? Treasure? Waterwheel, Divine Arm Crossbow? Your Majesty, do you want to hear what you're saying?”
"What happened during His Majesty's eastern tour? Aren't Internal History Meng and Young Master Fusu in Longxi County? Why did he come back with His Majesty? Where was the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, Zhao Gao? Where did Zhao Gao go?"
"His Majesty looks sick. It seems that he is really sick! What exactly happened? Why does the atmosphere feel strange?"
“……”
The officials were all shocked.
Wang Jian nodded at Li Si, who was still in a state of shock. Li Si's eyes were filled with shock as he hurriedly walked to Ying Zheng's royal carriage and respectfully took the blueprints of the waterwheel and the divine arm crossbow from Ying Zheng's hands. He opened them curiously, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the intricate blueprints. He said in astonishment,
"Your Majesty! These two items were the divine weapons of the country! Could it be that His Majesty really obtained it from the Immortal Land? Is there really an immortal realm?"
Seeing Li Si's shocked expression, Ying Zheng's mood improved slightly as he said to Li Si and the other officials,
"Of course it's true! I wasn't the only one who went to the Immortal Land. Grand Preceptor Wang, Inner History Meng, Fusu, High Minister Meng, Huhai, and a few other remnants of the six dynasties also went!”
Li Si, Wang Ben, and the other ministers looked at Wang Jian, Fu Su, and the others in disbelief. They were all shocked when they saw Wang Jian, Fu Su, and the others nodding their heads!
"This is amazing! Grand Preceptor Wang was far away in Xianyang, and Young Master Fusu and Inner History Meng were far away in Longxi County. They had actually followed the Emperor to the Immortal Land at the same time! He even obtained an Immortal Realm treasure! It's too magical!"
Seeing the shocked and excited faces of the ministers, Ying Zheng was overjoyed as he took out another bag of seeds and handed it to Li Si.
"This is a treasure that Fu Su obtained from the Celestial Realm, a cotton seed! It could produce 500 kilograms per mu! The cotton that was produced could be used to fill clothes and bedding. It was very effective in keeping out the cold! The Prime Minister will gather a group of farmers and find a plot of experimental land to plant. Cultivate it well and keep a close eye on it! I want everyone in Great Qin to have cotton clothes to wear in the future! No one would ever freeze to death in the cold because they couldn't afford to wear clothes!”
Hearing Ying Zheng's introduction of the function of cotton, all the officials and ministers present widened their eyes and mouths in surprise!
They all looked at the bag in Li Si's hand!
He thought to himself, if this cotton was really as Ying Zheng had said, and could be used to keep out the cold, then in the future, Great Qin would really be like what Ying Zheng had said, where no one would freeze to death because they could not afford to wear clothes. This was simply a great blessing for the people of Great Qin!
"His Majesty loves his people like his own children! Bringing back a treasure like a cotton seed from the Celestial World, Great Qin's people are in luck!”
"Yes, yes! On behalf of the people of the world, we thank Your Majesty!”
Li Si and all the officials bowed to Ying Zheng in unison!
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand towards the officials and said,
"Good, good, good! My dear ministers, please excuse me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Li Si cast a puzzled glance at Ying Zheng's eastern patrol team and asked,
"Your Majesty, why did Meng Neishi and Young Master Fusu come back with you? Where was the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, Zhao Gao? Why didn't he follow His Majesty around?”
As soon as Li Si asked, he noticed Wang Jian, Fu Su, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and the others looking at each other silently. Huhai lowered his head timidly!
Meanwhile, Ying Zheng's face suddenly turned cold. He looked in the direction of Zhao Gao's Mansion in Xianyang City and said with a dark look in his eyes,
"Wang Ben, listen up!"
Wang Ben was shocked for a moment, but he immediately stepped forward respectfully, cupped his fist and bowed to Ying Zheng,
"Your humble subject is here!"
Ying Zheng's eyes shone with a murderous intent as he said,
"I order you to immediately lead 500 soldiers and raid Zhao Gao's residence! All of Zhao Gao's family and relatives in Xianyang were imprisoned! Wait for my decision!"
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's order, Wang Ben, Li Si, and the other ministers were all stunned!
He immediately realized that a bloody storm was about to engulf Zhao Gao's residence!
