At this moment, in Xianyang Palace.
Seeing that the army and the people were united, the First Emperor's expression eased slightly. However, he was curious about where the Bloody Butcher and the Netherworld Army were and who they were. Since they belonged to the Great Qin Empire, they should not be the remnants of the six countries.
Although Ying Zheng's unique pride as an emperor made him arrogant and conceited, he knew very well that if he wanted to conquer the whole world, he had to rely on this Nether Army!
"Go back and investigate carefully. Even if he's not one of ours, we can make him surrender.”Ying Zheng warned in a low voice.
If they forced the Netherworld Army into a corner and joined another empire, it would be an irreparable loss for Great Qin.
"Yes." Zhang Han had a serious expression. Even if Shi Huang didn't explain, he understood the stakes.
Laugh to death, could Lord Zheng be thinking about the Longevity Extending Pill? A mere five year Longevity Extending Pill, I wouldn't even look at it if it fell to the ground.
Ying Zheng almost cursed out loud. However, it was only a short moment of anger. Following that, a pitiful gaze landed on Ying Lan.
This guy must be out of his mind. Otherwise, why would he have such an idea? It's my negligence and lack of care.
Then, the eunuchs announced some rewards, and the celebration ceremony came to a successful end.
The soldiers 'faces were filled with excitement. Even though they knew that there were many powerful and vicious empires in this world, Great Qin's three Corps' overall fighting power was unquestionably the strongest. With the Netherworld Corps, they were the number one Empire.
In the evening, Ying Zheng had his dinner and went to the Qi Clan's bedchamber. Because he was not favored, there was not even a single servant standing guard at the door of the bedchamber, making it seem cold and cheerless. Ying Zheng swaggered in.
"Lan 'er, I heard that your Imperial Father reprimanded you at the ceremony today. What's going on?”Madam Qi's frightened voice sounded.
"He's getting on in years and his body isn't as good as before.”Ying Lan said unhappily.
I can't possibly tell mother that Lord Zheng's birthday is coming. Sigh, just thinking about it makes me miserable. He died in the sand dune incident and his body started to stink. That dog servant Zhao Gao, he got some seafood to cover up the smell and tampered with the imperial edict.
Compared to the high-spirited and vigorous Lord Zheng on the square today, the Emperor of the Ages did not end up well. It was sad.
These words echoed in Ying Zheng's mind without missing a single word. His heart was pounding, and his face was pale with fear.
Recently, his health had indeed been deteriorating, but Ying Zheng had a stubborn temper. Once he went to find a doctor, it would be equivalent to exposing his poor health. If word got out, it would not do Great Qin any good.
To put it bluntly, there was no cure for the sick. It was all relying on medicinal pills to "extend one's life".
If this was all Ying Lan's conjecture, why did it sound so convincing?
"You can't say that about your Imperial Father!" Madam Qi reprimanded.
Right at this moment, Ying Zheng, who was bewildered, entered the palace.
"Ah, Your Majesty." Lady Qi blinked her eyes and hurriedly bowed, thinking that she had seen wrongly. She and Ying Zheng had only had a night of fun, and since then, they had not seen each other, let alone her bedroom.
Therefore, her first reaction was to suspect that she was dreaming.
"Yes." Ying Zheng responded, his gaze falling on Ying Lan." I'm not busy tonight, so I came to see Lan 'er."”
He saw the latter lying on the bed, the beauty massaging his shoulders and back. He was very uncomfortable and had no intention of getting up to salute.
"Lan 'er, get up quickly. His Majesty has arrived.”Madam Qi reprimanded anxiously.
This was obviously disrespectful to the First Emperor. One had to know that even his eldest son, Fusu, was sent to resist the Xiongnu and help build the Great Wall because of his advice.
Although Ying Lan was his biological son, he didn't have the slightest bit of talent and strategy, let alone achievements.
To put it bluntly, if Qin Shi Huang was angry, he could even drag him out and behead him.
Facing Madam Qi's urging, Ying Lan was indifferent and continued to lie down happily. However, the beauty didn't dare to serve him anymore and quickly knelt down.
Ying Zheng furrowed his brows and was fuming with anger.'It's not easy for me to come here, and I'm actually acting like this?'
"Men! Put..."
Does this old thing know that the Nether Army is mine?
Before Ying Zheng could finish his words, he was stunned on the spot.
Was this kid crazy? First, he kept making wild guesses, and now, he was hallucinating?!
The combat ability of the Nether Army was obvious, and their commander, Bloody Butcher, was definitely a dragon among men. If it was some great general or a talented prince, Ying Zheng would still be able to accept it.
Who was Ying Lan? She slept in the residence all day long. Was he the owner of the Nether Army? Ying Zheng would never believe it.
"Your Majesty, Lan 'er sprained her ankle, so it's inconvenient for her to get up. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
By the way, Your Majesty, Lan 'er hasn't been idle these days. He has drawn a blueprint for a wind-powered waterwheel and a curved shaft plow, which can greatly improve farming efficiency.”
Madam Qi hurriedly apologized and changed the topic.
"Hmm?" Ying Zheng's interest was immediately piqued.
"Consort mother, that was something that your son casually drew, it can't be presented in a refined hall.”At this moment, Ying Lan spoke.
"Hmph, I racked my brains to recall the things in the history textbook. Why should I give it to him?”
"If we tell Lord Zheng that the work of five farmers is now enough for one person to do with the wind, waterwheel, and curved shaft plow, wouldn't he go crazy?”
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. Five times the efficiency? What kind of concept was this?
Originally, in order to unify the six countries, countless innocent people had died in order to eradicate the remnants. Large areas of wasteland were left there, and no one cultivated them, resulting in a shortage of food production.
More importantly, the Great Qin Empire was harsh and harsh, and the taxes were ridiculously high. The common people had to hand over two-thirds of their income, and very few people volunteered to farm, which aggravated the food shortage. Ying Zheng knew very well that before the army moved, the food and grass had to be given priority.
