"Sword Trial Assembly?"
When everyone heard Feng Chen's words, their raised feet immediately stopped in mid-air.
In this vast world, there were countless empires and martial arts worlds. The sects in each martial arts world were also different.
However, there was only one thing that was the same. No matter which martial world it was, the sword was respected!
The sword was a gentleman's weapon, and it was also the favorite weapon of Jianghu heroes.
Anyone who studied the sword in the world would want to witness the battle between top swordsmen.
One could imagine that once the news of the Sword Trial Assembly spread, it would definitely attract the attention of countless swordsmen.
"I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch in three days.”
"The sword duel between Ximen Chuixue and Feng Qingyang, this is a must-see!”
"Ximen Chuixue has been famous for a long time, and Feng Qingyang has been in the limelight recently. The battle between these two will definitely be exciting.”
"Sword Trial Assembly? I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay in the Heaven's Secret Tower for the next few days.”
"Great minds think alike. I also want to stay in the Heaven's Secret Tower. Isn't it just three hundred thousand taels?”
"Madam Ning, I would like to reserve a yellow booth on the second floor for three days.”
"Miss Yue, please reserve a Xuan room on the third floor for me. Yes, three days later."
……
After a short discussion, the group of Jianghu dignitaries actually booked the private rooms and seats for three days.
With the update of the Mastermind Ranking and the Sword Test Conference, it was no different from a fool's dream to expect to buy a private room and a private seat on that day.
In just an hour, half of the private rooms on the third floor and the private seats on the second floor were booked.
……
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
The Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, the Residence Hall.
Ying Zheng sat behind the dragon table, his eyes as deep as the abyss, staring at the table.
On the black table was a piece of paper with two lines of words written on it.
The first line was 'Hu, the one who destroyed Qin.'
The second line was 'The First Emperor died and the land was divided.'
In just a dozen words, the future fate of the Great Qin Empire was revealed, causing Ying Zheng sleepless nights.
"The one who destroyed Qin is Hu. What does this Hu word mean?”
Ying Zheng's brows were tightly knitted, but he still could not figure out what was going on.
At this moment, a eunuch came in and said,""Your Majesty, the two young masters have come to pay their respects to you.”
"Yes, let them in."
Ying Zheng said calmly, then took out a random memorial and covered the paper on the table.
Just as he was done, Fu Su and Huhai walked in.
Although Ying Zheng had many children, he never liked to be close to his descendants.
Among his sons, only the eldest son, Fu Su, and the youngest son, Huhai, could enter his palace freely.
"Greetings, Imperial Father. Your son Fu Su pays his respects to Imperial Father.”
Fusu followed the etiquette and knelt down at a place thirty meters away from Ying Zheng. His behavior was elegant and full of rules.
On the contrary, the young Huhai was not constrained by these things.
He ran straight to the front of the dragon table and bowed casually. Then, he asked curiously,
"I heard that Imperial Father went to the Heaven's Secret Tower yesterday. Is that place really as magical as the legends say?”
Huhai was only a little over ten years old, and his eyes were full of vigor.
Perhaps it was because a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger, Huhai did not deliberately keep a distance from Ying Zheng like the others. Instead, he seemed to be very close to Ying Zheng.
A rare smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face as he raised his hand to touch Huhai's head.
However, just as he raised his hand, he caught a glimpse of the word 'Hu' on the paper from the corner of his eye.
It was the barbarians who destroyed Qin.
Hu Hai.
Could it be that there was a connection between the two?
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng's expression turned cold.
"You two can leave."
"Men, have Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Meng Tian come to see me immediately.”
Seeing Ying Zheng's serious tone, Fu Su and Huhai did not dare to say anything more, and hurriedly retreated.
A moment later, Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Meng Tian walked in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The three of them bowed at the same time.
"No need for formalities."
"I'm sure all of you already know about the words that the Master of Heaven's Secrets Pavilion gave Great Qin.”
"The three of you are my capable assistants. What do you think of these words?”
Ying Zheng said coldly from above.
The hall was silent. None of the three spoke.
Ying Zheng was a little displeased. He looked at Li Si, who was in the middle, and said,""Li Si, you're talented.”
Li Si complained in his heart, but he said calmly,""Your Majesty, the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is unfathomable. I can't understand the meaning of his words.”
"Humph!"
"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking.”
"Forget it, since you don't dare to say it, then let me say it.”
"The Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion deduced that the Great Qin would perish because of the word 'Hu', and my eighteenth son, Huhai, happened to have the word' Hu 'in his name.”
"Does this mean that after a hundred years, Huhai will become the new Qin Emperor and single-handedly destroy the Qin Country?”
Ying Zheng slowly voiced out his thoughts.
Great Qin had the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li and a million Iron Cavalry. Who could break through it?
However, it was a different story if they attacked from the inside.
Since ancient times, there had been countless examples of powerful countries dying because of incompetent rulers.
Although Huhai was intelligent, Ying Zheng could not guarantee that he could manage an empire well.
Therefore, in his opinion, this was the best explanation for the heavenly secrets.
Among the three, Meng Tian disliked Huhai because of her close relationship with Fu Su.
After hearing Ying Zheng's analysis, he could not help but feel delighted.
If there was any prince in the Qin country who could threaten Fu Su, it would probably be Huhai.
As long as Huhai died, the future Qin State would belong to Fusu, and he would be entrusted with important tasks.
On the contrary, Zhao Gao's expression turned cold.
As the Prefect of Zhongche Prefecture, he had taught Huhai the prison laws of the State of Qin when he was very young.
The relationship between the two of them was close to that of master and disciple.
Furthermore, Fu Su respected the Confucian school and had never liked cruel organizations like the Network.
If Fu Su ascended the throne, the Network would definitely be neglected.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao immediately took a step forward and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty."
"This servant thinks that although Young Master Huhai is intelligent, he has many shortcomings compared to Young Master Fusu.”
"Even if His Majesty has the intention of choosing the heir, Young Master Fusu will still be the first choice, not Young Master Huhai.”
"So, Young Master Huhai shouldn't be the person that the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion mentioned.”
"Then how do you explain 'Hu who destroyed Qin?'”
"Your Majesty, this servant suddenly thought of something.”
"When King Wuling of Zhao succeeded to the throne, he had a change in riding and archery, which made Zhao stronger than the six countries.”
"The word 'Hu' here refers to the Xiongnu tribe in the northwest.”
"This servant believes that the word 'Hu' in the words of the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets should have the same meaning as the word 'Hu' in 'Hu clothing riding archer'.”
Zhao Gao said in a low voice.
"Are you saying that our Great Qin will perish at the hands of the Xiongnu?”
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed.
The strength of the Xiongnu could not be ignored.
Currently, the Xiongnu side was still divided, with the northern and southern Xiongnu each having their own camp.
If the northern and southern Xiongnu united, their strength would be enough to pose a threat to the Great Qin border.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's killing intent rose.
"Meng Tian, listen up!"
"I order you to lead 300,000 troops to the northwest border.”
"Gather the 200,000 Qin troops at the border, a total of 500,000 troops to resist the Xiongnu!”
"Young Master Fusu is the supervisor of the army and has the right to make decisions.”
"Within a year, I want the Yin Mountains to be devoid of Xiongnu.”
Ying Zheng said in an incomparably domineering manner.
This attack could be said to be killing two birds with one stone, completely eliminating two hidden dangers.
Firstly, they could expel the Xiongnu outside the Yin Mountains and use the Yin Mountains as a boundary to establish a line of defense, which could better defend the border.
Secondly, Young Master Fusu could travel with the army and accumulate military merits, establishing prestige in the army and making it easier for him to choose the heir.
As long as Fu Su became the Crown Prince and had the support of the military, Huhai would not be a threat.
However…
Ying Zheng still felt that something was wrong.
"Hu who destroyed Qin!"
This was the fate of Qin. Just this move alone was probably not enough to defy the heavens.
However, there was another sentence-"The First Emperor died and the land was divided!”
What if I don't die?
A nameless fire was burning fiercely in Ying Zheng's eyes.
