In the past three years, Ying Zheng and Ying Yan had been accumulating their strength, while Ying Zheng had been learning the way of being a king and all kinds of knowledge.
There was no need to mention Ying Yan. When he returned to Xianyang, he signed in one after another. However, the rewards for the later check-ins weren't as good as the first.
After a whole year of signing in, he finally managed to gather enough power for the Illusory Sound Workshop.
With the integration of Heaven and man, the Empress was the leader, and the great grandmaster, the Twelve Heavenly Saint Concubine, was the support. In the various countries, they set up the Fantasy Music Workshop. The masters in the workshop were all young women with good looks and skills. They used the identity of singing and dancing girls to confuse the target, spy on intelligence or directly assassinate them. The instruments in their hands were all hidden, making it impossible to guard against.
In the next two years, he spent one of them signing in all kinds of martial arts, secret manuals, pills, and weapons. He had forcefully pushed his martial arts from the intermediate stage of the grandmaster realm to the peak stage of the great grandmaster realm. There were even more martial arts.
[Swordsmanship: Heaven-cleaving Sword Drawing Technique, Holy Spirit Sword Technique, Transcendent Flying Immortal] [Internal Strength: Wedding Dress Divine Art, the complete version of Bright Jade Art, Tai Xuan Scripture, and Divine Reflection Art.] Ode to Great Sorrow
[Lightness Skills: Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve, Dancing Phoenix in the Nine Heavens, Nine Spiral Shadows, Phantom Power]
Medicinal pills: Great Rejuvenation Pill, Small Rejuvenation Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill, Nine Flower Dew Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Qi Returning Pill, and Heart Clearing Pill.
[Weapons: Heaven and Earth Ruyi Fan, Flying Flower Chasing Moon Whistle]
Then, in the third year, they began to sign up for the army. After a year of hard work, he now had eighteen Yan Cloud Cavalry, the White Bear Yuan Zuozong, ten thousand Snow Dragon Cavalry, and fifty thousand Black Armor Army.
This year, Ying Zheng ascended the throne, and he was also pushed to the front of the screen. It was pushed to the front by Ying Zheng. This year, a cripple wearing a black and red Ying-style sect uniform and a black and gold wheelchair stood in the court.
Qin Country, Shangjun
The hundred-thousand-strong Xiongnu army arrived majestically. Everywhere it passed, corpses were everywhere. There were no humans or animals. Men were slaves, women were treated as two-legged sheep for their pleasure, and children were cooked and eaten alive. It was called white meat.
" Young Master, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu has sent 200,000 troops. Wu Ati is the main general and is approaching Shangjun," the Vermilion Bird said anxiously while holding a bamboo slip.
In the main hall, a handsome boy was sitting in a wheelchair. He had a head of thick black hair and a pair of slender peach blossom eyes under his sword-like eyebrows. He was full of affection, making people fall into him if they were not careful. His tall nose and reasonably thick red lips had a dazzling smile on them.
Behind him stood a fair-skinned and beautiful woman. She was massaging his shoulders wholeheartedly.
" Vermilion Bird, don't be impatient." He reached out to comfort Vermilion Bird and took the bamboo slip from her hand. The Vermilion Bird heard Ying Yan's words. She had lost her composure because she was anxious. After regaining his senses, he retreated.
"Head Man, you're being forced by the heavy snow. Xue, push me into the palace.”
" Alright, Young Master." The girl pushed Ying Yan out.
Fifteen minutes later. Qin Palace. Everyone else was thrown out except the two brothers.
"Yan, is what you said true? The Xiongnu are attacking on a large scale?"
"That's right, brother. You know that I haven't done anything else in the past three years. I've only focused on building the Jinyiwei and training my own army. You know the Brocade Guard, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. Each led a division. Azure Dragon Lord arrested, Vermillion Bird Lord spied, White Tiger Lord assassinated, and Black Tortoise Lord punished. As for the army, there was one Snow Dragon Cavalry and one Black Armored Army.”
" Ah Yan, you don't have to do this." Ying Zheng looked at Ying Yan with a complicated expression.
"Brother, I told you in that car that if you want to fight for this position, you can't trust anyone, including me. Now that you're the king, you'll have to call yourself a widow. No one could make you completely trust them.”
"I won't hand over the Snow Dragon Cavalry to you for the time being. Tomorrow, in the court, I will propose to personally conquer the Xiongnu. I'll hand over the Black Armored Army to you directly. Have twenty thousand of them change to palace guards, and you'll be in charge of the other thirty thousand. I'll provide the money, food, and equipment. Just like your martial arts, this 30,000 will also become your trump card. Remember that you should not show your trump card to others unless it was absolutely necessary.”
"Ah Yan…"
"Brother, you don't have to say anything. I remember your kindness to me. If it weren't for you, I might have died by now. As for the Jinyiwei, I won't give it to you. Lu Buwei is the head of the civil officials. Then I'll be your leader.
But, brother, remember, I will stand at the head of the generals, but you cannot reward me greatly, no matter how great my contribution is. You also want to show everyone that you're constantly suppressing me.”
"Since ancient times, generals and generals have been at loggerheads. That's why you want to use me to keep Lu Buwei in check. Not only him, but also Empress Dowager Hua Yang. I know that she helped you a lot to ascend to the throne, but the king wants to be a widow.”
Ying Zheng was only thirteen years old this year.
Ying Zheng looked at his younger brother with a pained expression. He knew that his younger brother had the ability to reach this position. Although he was born with a strange disease, his ability was also extraordinary. Just because he brought him back from Zhao, he withdrew from the selection of the throne and returned to the country for three years without showing it to anyone. Even though his father and grandfather had died, he still came out to pay his respects and locked himself in the mansion.
If he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to deal with Lu Buwei and Cheng Qiao, he wouldn't have come out. If he didn't come out, he would have given him all his money.
"Hey, okay, I won't suspect you."
"You're wrong. No matter what I've done for you, you can't let go of your suspicions. Why did Bai Qi die? It was not because he wanted to rebel, but because he was more loyal to Great Qin than anyone else. But he still died. Why?
It's because he has the ability to rebel, do you understand? This was the commander's seal of the black-armored army. Li Jing was outside the palace gate. If you want to replace him, you can do so. If you don't want to replace him, he can be the commander of the imperial guards. However, the remaining 30,000 soldiers had to find generals that he trusted. Let's go."
As he spoke, he turned his wheelchair and walked out.
Seeing Ji Ruxue and Li Jing outside the palace gate, he said," Li Jing, you can go in now. Remember, from now on, I will not be your young master. You have to be loyal to Great Qin. You only have one King, and that is my big brother Ying Zheng." Xue, let's go."
"…" Li Jing wanted to say something but didn't. Originally, the system's rewards were all 100% loyal to the host, but Li Jing and the 50,000 black-armored soldiers were changed to be loyal to Ying Zheng. For this, he had paid the price of not getting any rewards for signing in for half a year.
Ji Ruxue quietly pushed Ying Yan on the street.
"I, Li Jing, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Jing, who was kneeling on the ground, with a burning gaze.
"Get up,"
"You are Li Jing? I heard from Ah Yan that you command and use troops like a god?”
"Gongzi Yan, you flatter me."
"Why do they all call you Young Master, but you call him Young Master Yan?”
"Your Majesty, when Young Master Yan first trained the soldiers and found me, he said that I, including the fifty thousand Black Armor Army, am only loyal to the Qin Kingdom and Your Majesty. That's why they call me Young Master, and I'm called Young Master Yan.”
Ying Zheng gave Li Jing a complicated look, but did not say anything.
After a long time, Ying Zheng said to Li Jing with a firm look in his eyes.
"50,000 black-armored soldiers, 20,000 palace guards, and the other 30,000 will be under your command. However, these 30,000 will all be hidden in the dark. At the same time, continue to secretly recruit troops until the limit is 100,000.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." As he spoke, he took the commander's seal and went out to defend the palace.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Jing, who had just left. Some other thoughts appeared in his mind. He got up and went out. He saw Zhang Han at the palace gate.
"Zhang Han, come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Zhang Han, you must be from the Qin Empire.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Now, I'll give you two choices. One, you go to the army and go to Shangjun with A Yan tomorrow to make a name for yourself. Two, you hide behind the scenes and are only loyal to me.”
How could Zhang Han not hear the hidden meaning behind Ying Zheng's words?
"Your Majesty, I choose the second option."
" Have you made up your mind?" Ying Zheng asked again. Zhang Han felt like he was about to suffocate. The King of Qin was only 13 years old, yet he already had such a powerful aura.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I've chosen."
"Alright, listen carefully. I order you to privately form a Shadow Secret Guard. Remember, before I turn 18, I want your Shadow Secret Guard to be spread throughout the seven countries, including the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the grasslands. Moreover, he had to be like a maggot attached to a bone, like a shadow, like a king.””
"From today onwards, Zhang Han and the Shadow Secret Guards will be my personal guards. You must act quickly and kill decisively, like the Grim Reaper's shadow. You will be given the power to kill and directly accept my orders.
I'll give you the authority. I hope you can do it as soon as possible.”
"I will obey the king's orders."
"Alright, you can leave."
Ying Yan returned to the mansion. When he arrived at the main hall, there were three people sitting there. They were the empress Shui Yunji, the commander Mao Xiang, and the Snow Dragon Cavalry Yuan Zuozong. Behind the empress stood Fan Yintian, Miao Chengtian, and Xuan Jingtian. Behind Mao Xiang stood Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
When they saw Ying Yan enter, the nine of them bowed.
"Young Master!"
"Alright, all of you take a seat. I'm sure you've heard that the Xiongnu army of 200,000 is attacking Shangjun. So tomorrow, I'll ask for permission to go to the northern border.”
"Young Master, why do you have to go personally?”
"This time, I have to go personally and hit the target in one strike. Only then can I return to the Imperial Court and fight against Lu Buwei.”
"We will depart tomorrow afternoon. The guards of Shangjun can only hold on for three days at most. Therefore, Yuan Zuozong, you must set off now and reach Shangjun within three days. I'll set off tomorrow afternoon and accompany Azure Dragon and Fan Yintian.”
"Respected Young Master Token!"
"Alright, all of you can leave."
