It was late at night.
The Prime Minister's Estate.
Before Li Si could lie down, he saw Meng Tian, who had rushed over anxiously.
Looking at Meng Tian's solemn expression, he knew that something serious had happened tonight.
"General Meng Tian, what happened?”
"The Black Swordsman has escaped from the death cell!”
"What?!"
Li Si's expression changed drastically when he heard the terrifying news, and he lost all his sleepiness.
The black swordsman Sheng Qi had killed countless experts of the empire, and it had taken a lot of effort to capture him. In the end, it was the Sword Saint Ge Nia who had not betrayed the empire who had defeated him and imprisoned him in the most secretive prison in Xianyang.
"Not only that, he even barged into the Sword Tower and took the Great Ravager!”
Li Si's face turned pale when he heard this. The black swordsman Sheng Qi was already a martial grandmaster. With the addition of the Great Ravager, Xianyang would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to capture him.
"Immediately send more men to protect Zhangtai Palace and Xianyang Palace. Do not let Sheng Qi enter these two places! You hurt His Majesty!"
Meng Tian nodded.
"Prime Minister, don't worry. The moment I received the news, I've already sent more people. General Wang Jian is personally guarding Xianyang Palace.”
"Right, General Meng, does His Majesty know about this?”
Meng Tian shook her head.
"After talking to the Thirteenth Young Master tonight, His Majesty seemed to be in a good mood. His appetite was also good at night and he slept quite early. He even summoned Consort Chen to serve him.”
Li Si nodded when he heard Meng Tian.
"His Majesty hasn't been this happy in a long time. Let His Majesty have a good rest. We must capture Sheng Qi before dawn, no matter the cost!”
Meng Tian nodded.
…………
At this moment, in Zhao Gao's residence in Xianyang City.
Zhao Gao, who was sitting in the tall attic, turned the white jade ring in his hand while looking at the death row prison that was already on fire not far away. He could not help but sneer.
There were six people standing behind him. The six of them were like the sharpest swords hidden in the darkness. Once they left their bodies, they would definitely see blood!
"Zhen Gang, you guys go with him. Take a good look at the person behind this Thirteenth Young Master.”
"Yes, sir!"
Then, the six figures instantly disappeared from the pavilion.
Zhao Gao's eyes were filled with coldness as he watched the six of them disappear.
Zhao Gao was puzzled by the First Emperor's decree.
To let the Thirteenth Young Master patrol the east as a punishment?
Furthermore, Zhang Han was accompanying him.
This was called punishment?
Most importantly, he had Zhang Han accompanying him. Zhao Gao knew what this meant. Zhang Han and the Shadow Guards were extremely powerful, and they were not inferior to the net he controlled.
However, although the network was under the control of the empire on the surface, Zhao Gao had already completely controlled it from the inside.
Otherwise, with a eunuch like him, no matter how much the First Emperor trusted him, he wouldn't be able to stir up trouble in the empire.
The sudden appearance of the Thirteenth Young Master, Ying Ziling, was clearly beyond his expectations.
What Zhao Gao couldn't understand was that Ying Ziling didn't bother to hide his abilities and immediately came to him.
Not only that, but Zhao Gao had also discovered that the First Emperor clearly didn't trust him and was wary of him.
This was an extremely bad sign.
It had only been two days, but Zhao Gao had a feeling that if he didn't get rid of the Thirteenth Prince as soon as possible, it would cause him irreversible trouble.
Moreover, the First Emperor's body was already weak, and he would probably have to choose a future heir soon. All these years, the eighteenth prince, Huhai, had been trying his best to disguise himself. He had also made so many plans for many years. He could not let all his efforts go to waste!
Therefore, the Thirteenth Young Master had to lose the right to compete at all costs!
Looking at the cold night sky not far away, Zhao Gao's triangular eyes were filled with sharpness and scheming.
……
Ying Ziling's residence.
Zhang Han had already received the news and knew that Xianyang Palace was personally guarded by General Wang Jian. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. He brought a few hundred Shadow Secret Guards and headed straight for Ying Ziling's residence.
However, Zhang Han didn't alert Ying Ziling about this matter.
After all, Zhang Han knew that Ying Ziling was a sword grandmaster. Now that the Moon Goddess and the Thirteenth Young Master were together, Zhang Han believed that even if the Dark Swordsman was here, they would have enough time to protect the Thirteenth Young Master!
After strengthening the Shadow Secret Guards 'defenses, Zhang Han disappeared into the darkness.
Ying Ziling was sitting in the courtyard while Yueshen was standing in the corridor not far away from him.
Just as Ying Ziling was thinking about where he should choose for the first stop of his eastern tour, the system's cold robotic voice suddenly sounded,"
Detected that the host might face a choice:
[Option 1: Leave the mansion immediately to avoid a bloody disaster. Reward: 1,000,000 taels of gold and 100 beauties.]
[Option 2: Heavily injure Sheng Qi and send him to the Death Prison again. Reward: 10 years of cultivation!]
[Option 3: Kill Sheng Qi with your sword and send his head to Zhao Gao's mansion as a warning. Reward: one sixty-year cycle of cultivation!]
