The 19th Imperial Residence was completely silent.
Apart from the soft sound of the falling snow, there was nothing else in the world.
Creak!
However, the silence was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
Then, a young man with long hair and a fur coat stepped out of the door.
It clearly looked unruly, but the artistic conception seemed to be one with the snow!
Plop!
Ying Tian casually sat on the stone steps outside the room. His gaze was gentle as he looked at Redsnow, who was sleeping soundly in the room. He then turned to a seemingly empty spot in the courtyard and suddenly said,
"Come out. How is it going?”
As soon as Ying Tian finished speaking, a figure with snow-white hair slowly appeared. It was Cao Zhengchun!
"Haha, this lowly one greets Your Highness."
Upon hearing Ying Tian's question, Cao Zhengchun, who was dressed in a blue robe with cloud patterns on it, came to Ying Tian's side in a practiced manner. He placed a stove by his feet and said,
"Your Highness, it's snowing outside. Don't catch a cold.”
"The middle-aged man named Zhen Gang has been skinned by the human cat. The twin flowers and the young man who is good at strange sword techniques are now in the dungeon.”
"I will wait for Your Highness to deal with me."
Nodding his head silently, Ying Tian stretched his feet to the stove. The warmth from the stove slowly dispelled the chill from the heavy snow in Xianyang.
Cao Zhengchun was an old man by his side. He had already materialized when he was young, so he seemed familiar with him.
"What about the Imperial Palace? Is there anything unusual?"
"Everything is going according to Your Highness 'plan."
"Alright."
Ying Tian also stretched his hand to the side of the stove to warm it up. His eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Xianyang is about to fall into chaos, so we should be prepared for the next move.”
"If that pair of twin flowers and the young man are willing to lower their heads, they can be handed over to the human and cat for training. If they are unwilling, they can be killed and returned.”
In Ying Tian's eyes, experts like the Six Sword Slaves were of little value. He was not willing to spend too much energy on them.
"Yes."
Cao Zhengchun nodded slightly, lowered his head, and disappeared into the night.
Looking at the heavy snow in Xianyang City that showed no signs of stopping, Ying Tian silently took another sip of wine.
"After tonight, I don't know how many people will live or how many will die.”
"Imperial father, perhaps you have also discovered the difference in the catalog that I have inscribed…"
As he was lost in his thoughts, the furnace gradually dimmed. Looking at the darkness that no longer had a trace of light, Ying Tian couldn't help but be speechless.
In the future, people plan things, and heaven accomplishes things. Why do you need to think too much?
With his trump card, it was not difficult for him to survive if his plan failed!
But now that he could, he had to give it his all!
On the other side, in the imperial palace of Xianyang.
Although Zhao Gao had already prepared his speech, he still couldn't help but feel uneasy when he really had to face the one emperor of the ages.
The Ancestral Dragon seemed to have restrained his killing intent, but only those who had experienced the rise of the Ancestral Dragon knew how terrifying the white bones under His Majesty were.
Creak!
The door to the Ancestral Dragon's study slowly opened. Zhao Gao took a deep breath and bowed.
"Your humble servant Zhao Gao greets Your Majesty!"
There was silence, and no one responded. It was as if there was no one in the room.
However, Zhao Gao did not dare to raise his head at all. Cold sweat slowly seeped out of his back.
It seemed like the situation was worse than he had imagined…
No, he might have been wrong to speculate on His Majesty's intentions from the beginning.
The knuckles of his hands that were already bowed turned slightly white. Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and said in a low voice again, but this time, he no longer had the same strength as before,
"Your humble servant Zhao Gao greets Your Majesty!"
"Come in."
After a long time, until Zhao Gao could not hold on any longer, the Ancestral Dragon's reply came from the study.
Zhao Gao heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped into the study. The first thing he saw was Ying Zheng, who was leaning against the desk with one hand.
"Zhao Gao, did you know that old general Wang Jian came to see me just now?”
Ancestral Dragon raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhao Gao calmly.
"I don't know!"
Zhao Gao suppressed the fear in his heart and forced himself to speak.
"You don't know?"
Bang!
Just as he finished speaking!
Ancestral Dragon stood up slowly. His eyes were as calm as water, but killing intent was almost overflowing!
"The Wang Clan's Di daughter was assassinated in the Nineteenth Imperial Residence, and the net actually doesn't know? We still need the victim to come personally!"
"In the end, the current network is all trash!”
"Or perhaps, today's matter was your own doing?”
"Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation for today's matter.”
Plop!
Zhao Gao immediately knelt down heavily on the ground, his face filled with fear and terror, as if he had just learned of this matter!
"What? Old General Wang Jian's grandson was assassinated?!”
" How could this be?!"
"This lowly subject is ashamed of Your Majesty's trap and has committed the crime of oversight. Your Majesty, please punish me!”
Seeing Zhao Gao's performance, the Ancestral Dragon's eyes became even colder. Zhao Gao had been by his side ever since he pacified the six countries. However, regardless of whether Zhao Gao had anything to do with today's matter or how Zhao Gao explained it, he had already made a decision in his heart!
There was no concrete evidence of the assassination, and it was confusing. However, Zhao Gao, as the commander of the network, had to take the blame.
Gently tapping the black pendant on his waist, the Ancestral Dragon came to Zhao Gao, who was completely bent over. His eyes were extremely deep,
"Zhao Gao, you are no longer suitable to be the commander of the network. Hand over the seal.”
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao, who had lowered his body, trembled slightly. His heart ached so much that he could not breathe!
However, he did not dare to hesitate and took out a seal from his pocket.
The person holding this black seal could control the net!
"Mm, you may leave!"
The Ancestral Dragon closed his eyes slightly as if he was dozing off.
Looking at the black seal on the table with a reluctant expression, Zhao Gao took a deep breath. However, he did not listen to the Ancestral Dragon and walked out. Instead, he knelt down again and gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, regarding the assassination and the Godstone, I have found the traces of the mastermind!”
