At night.
Prime Minister's Estate!
After Lu Buwei left the court, he went straight back into the mansion.
Everything that had happened in the court today left him with lingering fear.
All of this had to be investigated as soon as possible.
"Men!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant hurriedly walked into the study and bowed."Prime Minister."
"Immediately send a secret letter to the spies in the seven countries and have them secretly investigate the truth behind the Xiongnu, the Great Yue Clan, and the light cavalry of Zhao.”
"Even if I have to risk my life, I have to investigate everything clearly.”
"Tell them that if they die, I, Lu Buwei, swear to them with my life that their families will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives!”
"Here!"
The servant bowed and left the study.
The night was extremely quiet, but Lu Buwei didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Prime Minister."
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded outside the study.
"Who is it?"
"I'm Li Si. I have something important to ask for an audience.”
"Li Si?"
Lu Buwei muttered to himself. After calming himself down, he said,""Come in!"
From time to time, Li Si walked into the study and bowed." Li Si greets the Prime Minister."
Lu Buwei nodded slightly and said with a deep expression,""Li Si, it's already so late. Why do you want to see me?”
Li Si cupped his hands and looked straight into Lu Buwei's eyes.""I'm here to answer your questions.”
" What?!"
Lu Buwei's brows furrowed as if he wanted to see through Li Si's thoughts.
After a long while, Lu Buwei's brows relaxed a little and he gestured for Li Si to take a seat.
"What doubts do I have that I need you to answer?”
"How do you know that I am confused!”
Li Si smiled and cupped his hands." Because Li Si has never seen the Prime Minister so helpless!"”
"And the king summoned all the officials into court late at night, so something big must have happened.”
Lu Buwei slowly stood up and nodded,""Your analysis is indeed good! But how do you know that you can answer the doubts in my heart?”
When Li Si heard that, he stood up and cupped his hands.""Although I haven't guessed what it is, I've heard some things a few days ago.”
"Something must have happened in the battle ahead!”
Lu Buwei's gaze suddenly locked onto Li Si.
After a long time, Lu Buwei said slowly,""You're right! But some things are not as simple as you think!”
Li Si was not in a hurry to ask. He stared at Lu Buwei, waiting for him to continue.
"Because the matter discussed in the court today is the matter of the 230,000 enemy troops being repelled and killed in one night!!!”
" What?!"
Li Si exclaimed.
Before coming, Li Si had already thought of thousands of possibilities.
He had even thought of the worst case scenario of the Qin frontlines being breached!
However! Li Si never expected such news.
Lu Buwei looked at Li Si's shocked face and said calmly,""Now, do you still dare to confidently say that you can answer the questions in my heart?”
Li Si frowned and lowered his head.
……
Outside Marquis Che's residence.
The chief of the four-horse carriage, the king of Qin, the strange man, hesitated.
Tonight's incident happened too suddenly.
The officials had discussed the matter for a long time, but they still could not come up with an answer.
At this moment, the mutant could only place his last hope on the Ying Family Patriarch.
However, it was already late at night. They did not dare to disturb the ancestor's rest.
"Brother, why don't we forget about today's matter?”
The variant human hesitated and said.
Hearing this, Ying He nodded slightly.
Although the two of them had already thought of many excuses before coming, they were even prepared to be beaten and scolded by the ancestor.
But now, when they really reached the door of the residence, they lost their courage.
"Why don't we wait a little longer?"
"Perhaps, after some time, there will be new news.”
The two of them comforted themselves and prepared to leave the residence.
Creak!
Suddenly, the door behind him slowly opened.
The two people who were already extremely nervous were instantly shocked.
"Your Majesty, Siche Shu Chang, Che Hou let the two of you enter the residence.”
The servant bowed respectfully.
"What is it? Could it be that you already know that I and my brother are waiting outside the door?”
Ying Yiren asked in surprise.
The servant nodded slightly and led Ying Yiren and Ying He into the main hall of the mansion.
In the main hall.
The candle flickered.
Ying Yong was lying on the rocking chair, looking extremely calm.
However! However, Ying Yiren and Ying He's eyes were fixed on Ying Yong's tickle.
"Greetings, Patriarch."
Ying Yong slowly opened his eyes, looked at the two, and said,""You've been waiting outside the residence for a long time. What's the matter?”
Ying Yiren's heart tightened. He stepped forward and bowed,"Patriarch, there is indeed something I want to ask you.”
"What is it? Speak!"
"Ancestor, your grandson has come to ask you if you have heard of any secret forces when you traveled around the world.”
Hearing this, Ying Yong had a rough idea of why they had come.
With such a huge matter happening in the Qin country, if they could still remain calm, then he would no longer have the qualifications to continue sitting on this throne.
"What's wrong? Did something big happen in the State of Qin?”
Ying Yong suddenly sat up, scaring Ying Yiren and Ying He so much that they took a few steps back.
"Little brat! Come here!"
Ying Yong shouted coldly. King Qin, Yiren, and Ying Chi, who didn't dare to disobey the old ancestor's orders, gathered their courage and walked up to him slowly.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
With two crisp sounds, the tickle scratched their heads.
At this point, the two of them did not dare to say a word.
"The State of Qin was handed over to you, and this is how you become the King of Qin!”
"I don't know anything!"
Ying Yiren endured the pain on his forehead, cupped his hands and said,"Patriarch, please calm down. It's just that this matter is indeed a little unbelievable. After discussing with the officials for a long time, I still couldn't come up with an answer, so I had to disturb Patriarch's rest.”
After Ying Yiren told Yu Yingyong everything that had happened, he knelt down and returned to his original position.
"You're so flustered. You don't look like a king!”
After saying that, Ying Yong knocked on their heads again.
"As for what the two of you are worried about, in my opinion, it's not a big deal!”
"Since we can't find out the truth now, we'll keep an eye on what's in front of us!”
"The State of Zhao should pay a price for sending light cavalry to attack the State of Qin!”
"As for the Da Yue Clan and the Xiongnu, it's time to think about how to teach them a lesson!”
