Night!
Darkness enveloped the land.
The stars were dazzling!
Zhangtai Palace!
Silence.
One could only hear the rustling sound of the pen tip moving on the bamboo scroll, and the crackling sound of the candle flame burning from time to time.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng buried his head on the table, reading the memorials.
His expression was solemn and his eyes were bright, without the slightest hint of fatigue.
Occasionally, he would stop writing and look up in contemplation.
Time passed.
It was even deeper into the night.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared behind Ying Zheng.
The candlelight flickered slightly.
Under the candlelight, that person revealed a huge reflection.
"Your Majesty, the result of the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon has been determined.”
"There is a huge tomb there, and it is the tomb of Lord Wu 'an's old subordinates, Baiqi!”
At this moment, the brush in the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's hand paused for a moment.
Then, he continued to read the memorials.
The shadow continued to report,"
"When we arrived, the tomb had already collapsed, leaving only ruins.”
"The excavation work is in progress. At present, there are no more clues.”
"But…"
That person paused for a moment.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng stopped writing and raised his head, asking in an unhappy tone,""But what?"
The black shadow trembled and was drenched in cold sweat.
" It's just that when we scouted the surroundings, we only found sparse footprints." He swallowed his saliva and said.”
"However, according to the local residents, they saw 100,000 ghost soldiers passing by.”
"Their bodies are emitting a strong aura of death, sinister and terrifying!”
"There are rumors that it was the resurrection of Lord Wu 'an's old subordinates!”
Pa!
A crisp sound rang out, causing the black shadow's body to tremble.
His body lay on the ground, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's face was solemn, his gaze cold and fierce.
He put down the pen in his hand and slowly stood up.
He paced back and forth on the Dragon Platform.
The knuckles of his hand that was holding Qin Jian turned white, and his veins bulged!
Shaoqing sat down and said in a deep voice,
"Seal off the area within a hundred miles of the tomb!”
"Don't leak any news!"
"Kill anyone who spreads rumors!”
"In addition, continue digging the tomb. I want to see if those corpses still exist!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and murderous aura assaulted his face, causing the black shadow to tremble.
"Yes!"
The black shadow accepted the order and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.
The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was sitting on the dragon throne, his eyes shining with wisdom.
" Lord Wu 'an's grave was dug up, and his body was stolen…The tomb of his subordinates collapsed, and there was a strange phenomenon in the vicinity…100,000 ghost soldiers passed through…What is the connection between all of this?”
······
The stone of Mars fell from the sky and appeared in Dongjun.
The Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the descendants of the Six Nations all gathered.
At the same time, they spread the news to the world through their network.
As a result, almost everyone in Great Qin was discussing the matter of the Firefly Stone.
All kinds of rumors were spreading.
In Jing Chu, the most widespread was:
"Although Chu has three families, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will be destroyed!"
Hence, the old troops of Chu quickly used this rumor to gather a team of tens of thousands of people.
In the other five countries, the most widely spread was:
"The First Emperor died, and the world was divided!"
Thus, the other five countries 'Vestigial Clans used this rumor to quickly gather teams.
For a time, everyone was in a state of panic.
Everyone was in danger!
It didn't take long.
These rumors spread to the court.
It reached the ears of the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng.
Zhangtai Palace!
In the main hall.
The officials exchanged glances.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was enraged!
He stood straight on the dragon platform like a spear.
His face was gloomy and his gaze was like lightning.
He held the Qin Sword in his hand, and the atmosphere was somber!
"Trash, all of you are trash!"
His roar was like thunder, causing all the officials to be silent.
"You can't even stop a mere rumor. What use do I have for you?”
Faced with the scolding, all the civil and military officials felt bitter in their hearts, but they couldn't say it.
At this moment, Prime Minister Li Si walked out of the court.
His expression was calm, as if even if the sky collapsed, it would not be enough to make him panic.
After bowing respectfully, he said in a deep voice,
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"How difficult is it to shut the mouths of the people?”
"However, I have a plan here that I don't know if I should tell you.”
The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's eyes were sharp like swords as he darted towards Li Si.
After a long time, he said indifferently,"Speak!"”
Li Si bowed again and said,"
"As far as I know, many rumors came from the old lands of the six countries.”
"We can't rule out the possibility that the remnants of the Six Nations are stirring up trouble and adding fuel to the fire.”
"And among the remnants of the Six Nations, the Chu Country is the most active.”
"After the Stone of Mars appeared in the East County, the Xiang Clan led the old troops of Chu and rushed over immediately.”
"And in the old land of Chu, the most widely circulated one is 'Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will be'!”
"This humble subject believes that the ten fingers are connected to the heart.”
"After exterminating the remnants of the Chu Country, the other five countries naturally wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble.”
"In this way, the disaster of rumors can be quelled.”
After Li Si finished speaking, he stood respectfully and waited for Ying Zheng's reply.
The hearts of the officials tightened.
That was because this move was vicious.
Of course, this was also the most feasible plan.
Under the crown, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's eyes were deep and shining with the light of wisdom.
After a long time, he looked at Li Si with a burning gaze as if he wanted to see through him.
"Pass down my decree to Wang Li. I order him to personally lead 50,000 soldiers who have been through hundreds of battles to head to the old land of the Chu Country and exterminate the remnants of the Chu Country!”
"Pass down my decree, order the officials of the other five countries to investigate the rumors thoroughly. If anyone disregards the law and spreads rumors, kill them without mercy and implicate the three clans.”
After the imperial order was given, the Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng, flicked his sleeves and left.
"Retreat!"
······
Fourth Young Master's Residence.
Ying Ziyan was practicing his calligraphy.
His expression was focused and calm.
With a slight movement of his wrist, words appeared on the bamboo slips.
The tip of the brush was small and the bamboo slips were very narrow. Therefore, it took a lot of effort to write beautifully.
Because of this, the person who wrote needed to concentrate and focus on writing.
However, this was indeed a good pastime.
Just as Ying Ziyan was focused on writing, a black shadow appeared behind him.
The other party did not disturb him. Instead, he stood there quietly and waited patiently. Even his breathing was very weak.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The room was very quiet. Only the sound of writing on the bamboo slips could be heard.
After a long time, Ying Ziyan finished writing a scroll of bamboo slips.
He put down the brush, picked up the bamboo slip, and looked at the words he had written.
He blew lightly to dry the ink and revealed a satisfied smile.
After putting down the bamboo scroll, Ying Ziyan's expression returned to normal, and he said,"Tell me."
" Understood!" Mo Ya bowed and said," Reporting to the Underworld Lord, the burial ground of the 100,000 Underworld Army has gathered many forces.”
"The Imperial Court is extremely vigilant and takes this matter seriously.”
"The first thing we did was to seal off the area within a hundred miles. We also searched for spies from all over the place and tracked down the traces of the one hundred thousand Nether soldiers.”
"A large number of Shadow Secret Guards have been dispatched, causing many factions to not dare to act rashly."
"On the side of the Network, they have sent out one of the nine jinxes, Xuan Jian, which has caused many powers to be extremely wary.”
"A net? Xuan Jian?"
Ying Ziyan softly muttered these two names.
When Xuan Jian was mentioned, Mo Ya was also extremely fearful. He said,"Yes, I am! This person is extremely powerful. I'm not his match.”
Xuan Jian was the lethal weapon of the net. With the two swords in hand, the Black and White Xuan Jian, their combat strength was extremely formidable.
The status and strength of the Nine Wheels Calamity Star were above that of the Heaven Assassin!
It was only natural that Mo Ya was no match for him.
"However, what was surprising was that even under such tight surveillance, Quicksand's Black Jade Qilin, the head of the Chiyou Clan, Tian Hu, still managed to sneak into the tomb of Baiqi's former subordinates.”
"Due to the grave collapse, the imperial court is organizing manpower to excavate it, wanting to find out what happened.”
Mo Ya said.
Ying Ziyan nodded.
"Quicksand's Black Jade Qilin and Nong Family's Tian Hu. It seems that the two of them are quite powerful.”
However, although they had broken through the imperial court's defense line, they were still discovered by the Hundred Birds Organization.
One could see how strong the scouting ability of the Hundred Birds organization was.
"The Black Jade Kylin's strength is secondary. The key is his ability to disguise himself.”
At this point, Mo Ya's eyes revealed admiration.
"He can imitate anyone, from appearance, voice, and even expression.”
"It's almost like a real person."
"Tian Hu, as the head of one of the six halls, his strength is naturally not to be underestimated.”
"This time, he relied on his superb strength to hide from the eyes and ears of the Imperial Court.”
Ying Ziyan nodded and said,"Continue to observe here. Don't act rashly."”
"Also, what's the movement of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the remnants of the Six Nations in East County?”
"Reporting to the Underworld Lord."
Mo Ya said respectfully.
"East County is still very lively.”
Ying Ziyan revealed an interested expression.
"On the Daoist side, the sect master of the Heaven Sect, Xiaomeng, and the sect master of the Human Sect, Xiaoyao Zi, have both arrived in East County. There were thousands of disciples under the two sects.”
"On the Mo Family's side, Gao Jianli is the leader. The snow maidens, Big Hammer, Thief Zhi, Master Ban, and the other leaders are all here. The Mo Family had close to ten thousand ordinary disciples.”
"Sword Saint Ge Nia of the Zongheng family has also arrived.”
"On Quicksand's side, their leader Wei Zhuang is accompanied by Chi Lian.”
"Over at the Yin-Yang School, Left Protector Xing Hun, Great Si Ming and Young Si Ming have gone.”
"On the scholarly side, Zhang Liang's traces have appeared in East County.”
"Gongsun Linglong from the Famous Family is here too."
"The militarists have many troops. Among them, the remaining members of the Chu Country, the young master of the Xiang Clan, Xiang Yu, has gathered Ying Bu, Ji Bu, Long Qie, Zhongli Mei, and the others.”
"Of the six halls of the peasant family, other than Chiyou Hall's leader Tian Hu, Shennong Hall's Zhu family, Lie Mountain Hall's Tian Hu, Kui Kui Hall's Tian Mi, Four Mountains Hall's Situ Wanli, and Gonggong Hall's Tian Zhong are all present. They even had 100,000 disciples.”
"On the empire's side, the leader of the Shadow Secret Guards, Zhang Han, has already sensed it and has led thousands of Shadow Secret Guards.”
"The Network has sent out the Nine Rings of Calamity, the Sun Concealment and the Startling Salamander, and thousands of other eight-word killers.”
"Imperial Great General Wang Li is leading an army of one hundred thousand and has gathered in East County along with his armored soldiers.”
Mo Ya told Ying Ziyan about the various powers in East County in one breath.
Ying Ziyan's expression was solemn, and his gaze was deep. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Very good. Send a message to Tian Ze and the others to wait for orders.”
"Yes!"
