"Your Majesty, urgent news from the border, urgent news from the border!”
An anxious shout broke the silence of Zhangtai Palace.
Another urgent report from the border arrived.
After Ying Zheng received the letter, he opened it without any hesitation and started reading.
He finished reading the short sentences in one glance.
After reading it, he, who had always been a serious person, unconsciously smiled.
And when the ministers below saw the smile on Ying Zheng's face, they were also delighted.
"A great victory at the border. General Meng Tian sent a letter. The night before yesterday, Han Xin led the light cavalry to send a messenger into Shanggu Pass. They worked together with Meng Tian's army and attacked the Hu camp from both sides. He killed more than 40,000 enemies. When he sent the letter, he was on his way to the next battlefield. The invading Hu tribe was about to be completely wiped out.”
Ying Zheng was talking about the contents of the letter with an excited expression.
Although this battle wasn't on a large scale.
After all, when they swept through the six countries, they would have to face off against hundreds of thousands of troops.
But this time, they were fighting the Hu.
They were a group of scoundrels who knew how to run if they couldn't beat them. If they stopped chasing, they would come back.
A fighting spirit that could kill nearly 100,000 enemies at once could be counted on one hand.
It was no wonder why Ying Zheng was so excited.
This was the first time Great Qin had achieved such a result in a battle with the Hu after it had been unified.
"Your Majesty, General Han Xin at the front line has sent a messenger to deliver a message to you. They have raided Mount Wunan and killed more than 20,000 people. They have also captured the leader of the Hu tribe that invaded Great Qin and are currently on their way to Xianyang.”
"General Han Xin brings a letter: I was unable to accomplish my mission in this expedition. I can only offer the Hu leader and a map along the way to seek Your Majesty's forgiveness!”
Was he asking for forgiveness?
This was clearly asking for credit!
Hahaha, interesting, interesting!
This Han Xin was really interesting.
After hearing the eunuch's report, Ying Zheng turned to look at Wang Jian and Ying Zixuan with a teasing look in his eyes.
Wang Jian was familiar with this matter of taking credit and asking for rewards.
As for retreating in order to advance, Ying Zi Xuan was also familiar with this move.
Indeed, it was not easy for people who were not the same type to get together.
"Alright, alright. The leader of the Hu tribe. After he is sent to Xianyang, Li Xin, you will be responsible for escorting him around Xianyang. He wanted to let the commoners and traitors see what would happen to those who dared to invade Great Qin.”
"Yes! I will not disgrace the emperor's orders!"
When Li Xin heard that he also had an errand, his spirit was lifted.
Ever since he had been defeated, he had never been able to recover.
It was rare for him to have something to do, so he was actually quite happy.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host's subordinate Han Xin for his extraordinary achievements. He has killed 20,000 Hu people and nearly 70,000 Hu Qiang tribes. Great Qin's National Fate has been upgraded. Congratulations to the host for receiving the National Fate Gift: One catty of high-quality chili seeds."
Just as Ying Zheng was issuing the order, the system's notification suddenly rang out in Ying Zixuan's mind.
The sudden notification made Ying Zi Xuan slightly stunned.
Attacking on the battlefield could actually increase the fate of a country?
After being slightly stunned for a moment, Ying Zi Xuan also understood.
After getting rid of these Hu who often harassed the border, the border was naturally much more stable.
When the border was stable, the people could naturally recuperate.
In this way, it would naturally indirectly strengthen the country's luck.
"This is a pleasant surprise. However..."
Ying Zi Xuan turned his head and looked at Li Xin who had just stood up to receive the order.
He smiled.
Then, under the surprised gazes of the surrounding people, he stood up from his seat.
"Imperial Father, your son has something to report.”
Ying Zi Xuan suddenly opened his mouth, causing the originally joyous atmosphere in the hall to instantly vanish.
Everyone could not help but look at him.
Three days ago, His Majesty personally went to the Defender Marquis Estate to visit Ying Zi Xuan.
Along the way, other than the personal general of Emperor Shi Huang, Zhang Han, no one else was present.
No one knew what had happened during this meeting except for the people involved.
And after Ying Zheng left the Defender Marquis Manor, this was the first time Ying Zixuan had gone to court in the past three days.
His arrival also filled the hall with a sense of oppression.
After the sudden arrival of the emergency report from the border, people almost forgot about him.
And now, he stood up again.
Obviously, he couldn't escape.
"If Zixuan has anything to say, just say it.”
After Ying Zheng saw Ying Zixuan stand up, his face returned to its usual calm.
He also put down the emergency report in his hand.
"Imperial Father, the assassin that your son captured a few days ago has spoken.”
Gulp...
Ying Zi Xuan's few short words, at this time, suddenly made the sound of swallowing saliva in the hall.
After being immersed in the matter of assassins for a few days, it was about to explode!
Feng Quji exhaled deeply.
Was what was supposed to come finally coming?
'Fortunately, it's in the royal court. Come on, after this matter is over, at least we can have a good sleep.'
There were many people who had the same thoughts as Feng Quji.
Ying Zi Xuan's three days of silence, it could be said that with each passing day, those people who had a grudge or conflict with him.
They all felt extremely tense.
He was afraid that just as he fell asleep at night, Ying Zi Xuan would suddenly bring people to kill his way in.
He did not even give him time to explain and directly ordered the extermination of the entire clan.
This kind of thing, no one in the entire Xianyang City would doubt that Ying Zixuan couldn't do it.
Even Feng Quji, Li Si, Chi Wei, and the others had hidden their families on the first day.
No one would not be afraid of a madman who did not need to bear the consequences after doing something.
And today, Ying Zi Xuan spoke of the matter so openly.
On the contrary, it was the best outcome for them.
At the very least, he didn't have to worry about being killed before he even had the chance to explain.
"Is there a result of the assassination? Hurry up and tell me, who is it that has such boldness?”
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Zixuan with great interest. His voice and expression were somewhat ethereal, making it impossible for others to tell what his attitude was at the moment.
But just by listening to Ying Zheng's words, one could feel his current state of mind.
It seemed calm, but it was filled with killing intent.
When an emperor was angry, it was common for millions of people to die.
"Imperial Father, after interrogating the two assassins, I only got one conclusion. They came from Pengzhong County, and where did they receive the commission to come to Xianyang?”
"But other than that, we don't know the specific identity of the person behind the scenes.”
"Your son would like to request an imperial decree to send someone to Pengzhong County to continue investigating this matter. "In broad daylight, you actually dared to hire someone to kill in the capital of Great Qin. This is a provocation to the prestige of Great Qin. We have to investigate this thoroughly."
From Pengzhong County?
Hire someone to kill?
No, did you get it wrong?
Weren't those assassins all death warriors?
Why did he suddenly become an assassin?
Wait a minute...
Peng Zhong…
Ying Zixuan's words that came out of nowhere made Feng Quji, Li Si, and the others slightly stunned.
What he said had nothing to do with the actual situation.
But if that was the case, why did he say that?
After thinking about the recent situation in Pengzhong County.
Finally, someone reacted.
What assassination time, those Ying Zi Xuan basically already did not take it to heart.
He was trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
"From Pengzhong County? Your Highness, do you have sufficient evidence for this? What if the other party is just..."
When he heard Ying Zi Xuan mention Pengzhong County, an old man with a somewhat white beard hurriedly stood out.
Most of his family's business was in Pengzhong County.
At this time, if he still couldn't see what Ying Zi Xuan wanted to do, then he would really be a fool.
If this really gave Ying Zi Xuan an excuse to go to Pengzhong County, then the foundation that their Pei family had painstakingly accumulated for several generations would probably be destroyed in a single day!
"Pei Lizhang, are you doubting me again? Or do you know something?”
Pei Huan hadn't finished speaking when Ying Zi Xuan's voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell suddenly rang out.
When the old Pei Huan heard his voice, he couldn't help but shiver.
What did he know?
What the hell did he know?
Moreover, how would he dare to know?
Wasn't this a brazier aimed at his head?!
"Young Master Xuan has misunderstood! I don't know anything. I'm just... He just felt that with just two deaths…The assassin's one-sided words. I'm afraid it's not enough to be believed!"
All of Xianyang knew that the assassins of Ying Zi Xuan were reared in captivity.
He was not an assassin who was paid to do things.
However, Pei Huan didn't dare to say the word 'death man'.
Because, once he was the first to say these two words, then the matter of Ying Zi Xuan being assassinated would be completely related to him.
But he couldn't just watch as Ying Zi Xuan aimed his gaze at Peng Zhong, right?
Where was the foundation that the Pei family had accumulated for several generations?
Helpless, Pei Huan could only look at Zuo Cheng's Feng Quji.
He hoped that at this time, as a noble of Jiu Qin and the current leader of the nobility, he would stand up and speak up for the Pei family.
"Your Majesty, I... I feel that what Pei Lichang said is not without reason, but…The assassination of Young Master Xuan was no small matter. Since they already had a clue, they might as well send someone to investigate.”
Facing Pei Huan's pleading gaze, Feng Quji gritted his teeth and ultimately chose to give up on him.
Stop fooling around, Ying Zi Xuan was originally just using this topic to make a fuss.
If they were to go head-on with him now, no matter who it was, they would definitely not be able to gain any benefits.
The Pei family's business was in Pengzhong, could it be that he, Feng Quji's family, was gone?
His relatives occupied countless fertile fields in Pengzhong.
But what could he do now?
For the sake of those fields, they might even drag the lives of their entire clan down with them?
He, Feng Quji, was not that stupid.
