The reason why Ying Zheng was in such a hurry...
It was because it would take ten days for the horse to travel from Xianyang to Dongjun without rest.
Now that undercurrents were surging, many forces had their eyes on the wondrous stone.
Many of Great Qin's elite soldiers were from the Nether Army.
Hundreds of people not only raised their hands and feet in unison, but even the killing intent in their eyes was the same.
These elite soldiers were shocked. As expected of the legendary Nether Army. They might have been disdainful before, but the fact that they had quickly merged into one was enough to prove their iron-blooded discipline.
"I wish Your Highness a triumphant return!"
"Your Highness, thanks to you, our family has a full meal.”
"That's right. Now, the males in the common people's families can choose to stay at home and farm. It's all because of Your Highness's kindness and voice for the people.”
In the carriage, Ying Lan was humming an unknown tune and drinking tea.
A shout came from outside. He pulled open the curtain and found a group of commoners sending him off.
Those honest and sincere faces touched Ying Lan's heart for a moment. This familiar scene made him suddenly think of the future. The medical staff who were on the front line saved a city, and the people spontaneously took to the streets.
Perhaps his own interests were not as important as the people's happiness.
Ying Lan suddenly felt a surge of emotion. She had to admit that her father had unified the six countries and stabilized the situation in the Central Plains. This was a great blessing for the common people. He had made many achievements that no one had ever done before. It was truly worthy to call him the one emperor in history.
……
Mulberry Sea City.
These few days, the city was bustling with people.
Groups of armored soldiers patrolled back and forth.
If there were any suspicious characters, they would interrogate them.
"Has anything big happened recently? Why are you making such a big fuss?"
"It seems that there have been more outsiders recently?”
"They are all here to see the brilliance of the Stone of Mars, hoping to obtain an auspicious omen!”
"I don't think so. Some of them have ulterior motives!”
In a private room of an inn, a group of people discussed animatedly.
He saw an old man with a sharp beard. His Daoist robe was embroidered with ancient inscriptions.
"The Stone of Mars is indeed fascinating, but many people are here for Great Qin's Prince Ying Lan.”
A beautiful woman with a graceful figure said. She had silver hair and gave off a mysterious aura.
The old man pondered for a moment before saying," According to Chef Ding's message, the Bloody Butcher isn't too close to Great Qin and is only on good terms with Prince Ying Lan. He isn't interested in worldly matters.
That was good. Otherwise, if he made a move, the Mohist City of Traps would be razed to the ground in an instant.”
" The emperor is really interesting. Sending a useless prince to transport the Stone of Mars is just putting pressure on the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. Even if the emperor comes, the Stone of Mars will still fall into my hands.”
The short man said confidently.
This person was the number one godly thief, Thief Zhi, who had the title of King of Thieves.
He came and went without a trace. He had never failed to get what he wanted.
"Don't talk big. Before we get the Stone of Mars, there are always variables.”
"Why don't we capture that prince of the Qin country alive?？”
Thief Zhi asked with narrowed eyes.
It was said that Ying Lan's aptitude was average and he was not fated to practice martial arts. Even if his master was the Bloody Butcher, it would be difficult for him to enter the sect.
"This Ying Lan's character is not bad. Recently, the people of the Qin country have been using advanced farming tools and even eating potatoes and corn. It's all thanks to him. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. This is much better than the old emperor. No wonder the Bloody Butcher admires him.”
On the city wall of Mulberry Sea City.
A general wearing heavy armor and holding a sharp sword was pacing back and forth on the city wall. This person was General Wang Li.
"When was the last time His Highness sent a letter?”
Wang Li asked softly.
"General, four days ago." the subordinate replied without hesitation.
"We're almost there. Get ready and make sure nothing goes wrong.”
Wang Li looked at the sky and instructed.
He had always been loyal and meticulous, inheriting the fine traditions of his parents.
After his investigation, the Blood-handed Butcher had a mysterious background. It seemed that even Ying Lan herself might not have seen his true appearance.
Controlling the Great Xia Dragonfinch from thousands of miles away to save the First Emperor's life, it could be said that his methods were heaven-defying.
However, these experts were used to living in the wild and were not under Great Qin's control, which was a huge unstable factor.
Fortunately, he had a deep relationship with His Majesty, and he would not become Great Qin's enemy for now.
They were afraid that they would suddenly betray the Emperor like the Yin-Yang School.
" Even if it's his own son, he can't be trusted absolutely. If I can consider it, His Majesty shouldn't be able to ignore it…"
Wang Li shook his head. He shouldn't be thinking about these things. As an official, he had to learn to be careful with his words and actions. The king's thoughts were unpredictable. This time, Ying Lan was escorting the Stone of Chaos. He could see this child for himself.
Four hours later, a mighty team slowly approached from afar.
"Your Highness is here." The general beside him shouted excitedly. He had excellent eyesight and was one of the best archers in the army. He could easily kill enemies from a hundred meters away.
"It's not like I don't have eyes. Why are you shouting?”Wang Li rolled his eyes. This person was called Zhong Li. He was brave and fearless, and his ability was passable. However, he lacked the ways of the world. After drinking, he liked to brag in front of others, saying that he would replace him sooner or later. That was why Wang Li did not like him. If it were not for his mistakes, he would have been killed long ago.
Zhongli Xin pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
The Iron Army's aura caused Wang Li to feel quite shocked-as expected of Great Qin's most elite Iron Cavalry.
"Let's go. Follow me to welcome Your Highness." Wang Li waved his hand.
"Yes!"
"What are you doing here? He didn't have any eyesight to open the city gate.”Wang Li said unhappily. He was displeased when he saw that Zhongli Gui wanted to follow.
However, this action made Zhongli Gui feel quite uncomfortable. He was not someone who fawned over others, but according to Great Qin's laws, anyone who came, regardless of rank, had to welcome them.
He was a captain, not some insignificant general.
"Hey." Zhong Li Xi sighed. He knew that Wang Li had a lot of opinions about him. He had no choice. He was a straightforward person and liked to talk nonsense after drinking. Who knew that Wang Li would take it to heart?
"Brother, with your ability, you are a talent no matter where you go. Why do you have to be bullied by him?”
"That's right. Wherever you want to go, I'll follow you.”The old men who joined the army together with their fellow countrymen spoke up one after another. Because they were from Zhongli Nu's hometown, they were more or less treated coldly.
"Shut up, being loyal to Great Qin is a virtue accumulated by our ancestors. A real man can yield and stand firm, so what is this grievance?”
Zhong Li Ran looked around hurriedly. Fortunately, there were no outsiders. He was relieved and quickly changed the topic."Open the city gates with me!"
The few of them responded.
Squeak squeak…
This huge door was several meters wide and was covered in a thick layer of armor. It weighed more than ten thousand pounds, and it was only slowly pushed open with the combined strength of several people.
