Night completely enveloped Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Empire. The bustling city gradually fell silent.
The banquet ended.
Previously, because of the release of the Legion Battle Ranking List, there were countless undercurrents in Xianyang City. However, with Zhang Han leading the Shadow Secret Guards and Zhao Gao leading the Network to clean up, the celebrities and nobles in Xianyang City, as well as the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, were all shocked.
The surging undercurrent in Xianyang City was instantly stifled by Ying Zheng's powerful attack and fierce means.
However, countless whirlpools were forming under the calm water surface. More and more undercurrents were surging, waiting for the moment when they would spurt out and stir up even greater waves.
......
In the Qin palace.
"Your Majesty, the Shadow Secret Guards did not do their job well.”Zhang Han knelt down as soon as he entered the hall.
"Zhang Han, it's not your fault." Ying Zheng stared at Zhang Han for a long time before speaking.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Zhang Han heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him.
"Tell me, what did the Shadow Secret Guards find? It'd be best if it's useful information.”Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal Zhang Han to stand up and said.
"Your Majesty, the Shadow Secret Guards have investigated that there was once a legion in the Northern Territory. It was not many, but it was very powerful. A team of hundreds of cavalrymen slaughtered thousands of Great Yue Clan Rangers.”Zhang Han said softly.
"Where did the news come from?" Ying Zheng said with a calm expression after hearing that.
Ying Zheng could imagine how powerful the Tianxuan Army was.
The Tianxuan Army had 19,000 combat power, while the Great Yue Clan's cavalry had 7,500 combat power. The Tianxuan Army was more than 10,000 times stronger than the Great Yue Clan's cavalry.
It wasn't strange that the Tianxuan Army had slaughtered thousands of Great Yue Clan's cavalrymen.
"Your Majesty, the news came from the soldiers of the Northern Territory. Dozens of soldiers of the Northern Territory had seen this army before, but they did not know the origin of this army and had never come into contact with it.”
"These dozens of Northern soldiers are not from a single army. Some of them are soldiers of the Northern Army, and some are soldiers of the Northern County. Therefore, I guess that this army should be stationed in the Northern Region. Even if it is not in the Northern Region, it should be near the Northern Region.”Zhang Han said respectfully.
"Zhang Han, do you know how big the Northern Territory is?”
"Shadow Guards, why are you so sure that this army is the Tianxuan Army?”
"This is the information you found.”
Ying Zheng's face darkened as he looked at Zhang Han and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Shadow Secret Guards did not do their job well.”Zhang Han's expression was nervous as he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded for forgiveness.
"Get up. Although there is only a little information, it is not surprising.”
"However, the search for the Tianxuan Army must not be put on hold. This is the most important matter for the Shadow Secret Guards.”
Ying Zheng said with a cold face.
"Yes."
Zhang Han stood up and accepted the order.
"Zhao Gao, what about you? Have you found any information about the Tianxuan Army?”
Ying Zheng turned to Zhao Gao and asked.
"Your Majesty, the net has yet to find any information about the Tianxuan Army, but we have found traces of the Xiang Clan's army.”Zhao Gao replied respectfully.
"Oh! The net had found the army of the Chu Country's remnants.”Ying Zheng said with slight surprise.
The Xiang family army had been hiding in Great Qin for many years, and Great Qin had not discovered them.
If it was not for the Xiang Clan Corps on the rankings, Great Qin would not have known that the Chu Country had such a hidden Corps.
It has only been a few days since the Xiang Clan's army entered the rankings, and the network has already found traces of the Xiang Clan's army.
Ying Zheng could not help but be surprised.
"Your Majesty, the net has found the former encampment of the Xiang Clan's army in Chu.”Zhao Gao said respectfully.
The previous encampment?
"Zhao Gao, where is the Xiang Clan's army now?”
Obviously, Ying Zheng was a little angry.
What was the use of finding the previous encampment?
"Your Majesty, the Chu Country's old territory is the territory of the Xiang Clan's army.”
"This time, the network has sent out a large number of people to investigate the leader of the Xiang Clan's army. The leader of the Xiang Clan's army is the son of the Chu Country's general, Xiang Yan, Xiang Liang.”
"The Xiang clan has been a general of the Chu Country for generations. They have a very high status and influence. The entire clan was conferred the title of Xiang. After General Wang Jian led the army to attack the Chu Country, Lord Chang Ping, Xiang Yan, and the others died in battle. After the Chu Country was destroyed, the Xiang clan went into exile among the people and disappeared.”
"Now, the Xiang Clan has actually been hiding for so many years, and they have even established an army in the Chu Country. This isn't something that can be done by just the Xiang Clan alone. There must be some support from the remnants of the Chu Country, and there might even be the support of the remnants of the other five countries.”
Zhao Gao lowered his head and said softly.
"Zhao Gao, let me ask you, where is the Xiang Clan's army now?”Ying Zheng said in a slightly angry tone.
Ying Zheng did not want to know how the Xiang Clan's army was established, nor did he care who was leading it.
Ying Zheng only wanted to find the Xiang Clan's army, and then destroy it.
"Your Majesty, after the Xiang Clan Army entered the rankings, they fled from the Chu Country. At present, we have only found out that the Xiang Clan Army has split up and gone into hiding.”
"We haven't found out where they are hiding, but as long as we have enough time, we will definitely find out where they are hiding.”
Zhao Gao said in a low voice with a nervous expression.
"This is what your network found out.”Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with a dark face and said.
"Your Majesty, please atone for your sins.”Zhao Gao's expression was nervous as he quickly knelt down and apologized.
"Hmph, which minister in the court can't find out about this information?”
"This information still needs your network to investigate. This information still needs you to tell me.”
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with a dark face and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Zhao Gao and Zhang Han hurriedly knelt on the ground and said nervously.
Ying Zheng looked down at Zhao Gao and Zhang Han with a cold expression.

Footsteps came from outside the hall. A eunuch hurried in to report,""Your Majesty, General Meng Tian is here to see you.”
Ying Zheng paused for a moment after hearing that, then said,""Xuan."
"You guys can get up too!" Ying Zheng continued to look at Zhao Gao and Zhang Han with a cold expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Gao and Zhang Han thanked him in unison.
A moment later, a travel-worn soldier entered the hall under the lead of a eunuch. He went forward and prostrated himself, saying,""Greetings, Your Majesty."
Then, he respectfully handed over a bag that he was carrying on his back.
The eunuch took the package and opened it. Inside it was a bundle of bamboo slips. After checking it carefully, he turned around and respectfully presented it to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng opened the bamboo slip and glanced at it. Immediately, his expression changed slightly. The contents of the bamboo slip contained information about the Tianxuan Army, as well as everything Meng Tian knew, as well as some information about the Xiongnu and the Great Yue Clan.
