On the second day after Qin An left Xianyang with his 100,000-man army, unfamiliar faces appeared in the various prefectures and cities of Great Qin.
Handan County City.
A man dressed in a luxurious brocade robe with a sword hanging from his waist appeared at the entrance of a spring garden.
This person was the disciple sent by the Mo family to spread the rumors.
Spring Garden was the largest entertainment venue in Handan County.
In this courtyard with lush green trees and flowing water, countless red wooden buildings with carved beams and painted buildings were hidden, exuding wealth and elegance everywhere.
In each wooden building, there was food, drink, entertainment, and gambling.
When night fell, the Spring Garden attracted almost half of the scholars, merchants, and other upper-class people in Handan City to come and have fun.
The sounds of the noisy merrymaking could be heard clearly even from five miles away.
The disciples of the Mo Family stopped at the entrance of the Spring Garden for a while before striding in.
When he entered the garden, the eyes of the maids standing behind him lit up. Immediately, two maids floated forward and helped the Mo family disciple to his seat.
Then, two maids brought a pot of wine and a cup. They gently placed them on the table of the Mo family disciple and filled his cup with wine.
This Mo disciple ignored these maids and looked at the scholars in the other seats.
One of the scholars on the field was discussing loudly.
"Lord Anding, who was known as Rentu in the past, personally went north to the Xiongnu.”
"If the Xiongnu knew of his fame in the past, they would have fled long ago.”
At this moment, another pot-bellied man in a brocade robe put down his wine cup and said,"That might not be the case. These barbarian wolf cavalry have roamed the grasslands for many years, when have they ever been truly exterminated?”
"I'm afraid even Lord Anding will be helpless against it.”
……
Everyone was sipping the wine and discussing. It was unusually lively.
At this moment, the disciple finally spoke.
"I'm afraid you don't know yet, but Lord An Ding killed His Majesty's favorite youngest son, Young Master Huhai, because he wanted to replace the Ying family.”
"His Majesty has really misjudged. As soon as he gave this Lord An Ding the power to supervise the country, he couldn't wait to start making trouble!”
As soon as the Mo Family disciple said this, the originally lively venue immediately quieted down. Even the sound of the zither gradually stopped.
Everyone looked at the Mo Family disciple in shock.
It was not until a long time later that voices could be heard again.
"This is just an exaggeration. Lord Anding had helped Great Qin conquer the world in the past. If he had any intentions of rebelling, how could he have left Great Qin for more than ten years?”
"That's right. His Majesty is definitely not a mediocre person. Although he is ill, his divine might still exists. How could he have made a mistake?!”
" However…this is not impossible. Now that His Majesty is ill, isn't this the best opportunity for Lord An Ding…"
"Could it be that the scene of the Han, Zhao, and Wei families splitting their intelligence and the Tian family replacing Qi will repeat itself in Great Qin…"
Hearing the direction of the discussion, the Mo Family disciple sneered in his heart and continued to drink his wine silently.
He had already started this chatterbox, so it was up to these people not to think in this direction.
The same scene was happening in the various prosperous counties of Great Qin.
Wineries, spring gardens, chess halls, tea houses, as long as it was a crowded place, there would be Mo disciples. In just two days, a huge wave of commotion had been stirred up in Great Qin.
After that, another shocking news came from Xianyang City.
Ge Nia, who used to be by Ying Zheng's side and had protected him for decades, and was known as the 'strongest swordsman in the empire', had betrayed Great Qin!
Such news was enough to make everyone feel incredulous.
One should know that before Ying Zheng took over the Great Qin Empire, Ge Nia was already by his side.
In the battles with Prime Minister Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, and Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, he had saved Ying Zheng from life-threatening crises many times.
It could be said that without Ge Nia, Ying Zheng might not have been able to unify the world.
Ge Nia's meritorious service was comparable to that of Marquis Che, but he had rejected all of Ying Zheng's rewards, and only accepted the position of a swordsmanship teacher.
The number one swordsman in the world, who had outstanding achievements and was indifferent to fame and fortune, was hated by all the anti-Qin factions, but they had no choice but to admire Ge Nia.
Such a person had betrayed Great Qin and Ying Zheng!
This was another explosive news after Qin An had replaced the Ying family, and it immediately caused a huge commotion in Great Qin.
"Have you heard? Sword Saint Ge Nia has betrayed Great Qin!”
"Of course, the news has gone crazy in Great Qin!”
"Ge Nia is so close to His Majesty that even he defected. Could it be…that the matter is true?!”
"I was skeptical before, but Ge Nia's defection means that the Qin family will replace the Ying family!!”
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let others hear this. This is a crime of beheading!”
"It's fine. You don't know. I just came back from the tavern. Everyone there is discussing this matter publicly!”
"Sigh, the war with the Xiongnu has just begun, and now this has happened. Great Qin is about to change. I just hope that our commoners will suffer less!”
In the wilderness of Upper County.
From Xianyang to Jiuyuan County, there was a direct road, and Shangjun was the only place they had to pass through.
At this moment, Qin An, who was leading an army of 100,000 to Jiuyuan County, was resting in the wilderness.
In a tent in the middle of the camp, Qin An was listening to Yu Huatian's report.
Although he had left Xianyang, he could still rely on the West Hall to monitor the world!
Yu Huatian, who was half-kneeling, slowly reported the major events of the past few days.
The two biggest incidents were Ge Nia's defection and the rumors spreading around the country.
Furthermore, with Yu Huatian's abilities, after a few days of hard work, he had already found out the mastermind behind the rumors!
The Mo Family!
Qin An sneered after hearing Yu Huatian's report.
"I just left Xianyang and these clowns appeared.”
"After this Lord takes care of the wolf cubs from the grasslands, I will exterminate this group of ants who don't understand the power of the heavens one by one!”
Qin An clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the sunlight outside the tent. His tone was bone-chilling.
These so-called anti-Qin alliances were just a bunch of short-sighted people who were pursuing their own interests.
They wanted to restore the world that Great Qin had unified with great difficulty to the chaotic state of the past.
They did not seek for the well-being of the people, the world, or the future generations. They only cared about the small profits in front of them.
These ants harboring evil intentions really deserved to die!
But…
When he heard the news that Ge Nia had defected with Tianming, Qin An's cold aura disappeared, and mixed feelings surged into his heart.
At this moment, he could not help but think of what happened when Ying Zheng was still a teenager.
At that time, Ying Zheng had yet to take power, and only Qin An and Ge Nie had accompanied him and protected him.
At that time, Qin An did not have the terrifying strength he had now. At several critical moments, Ge Nia had risked his life to save Qin An.
Not only was Ge Nia highly regarded by Ying Zheng, but he also held an important place in Qin An's heart. The two of them were truly comrades, and were best friends in times of hardship.
"You don't need to worry about Ge Nia's matter. I will handle it.”
"However, you should gather all the information you can about the Mo Family. Once this matter is over, it will be their doomsday!”
Qin An ordered coldly.
Yu Huatian immediately bowed respectfully.!”
