The sun had just risen.
The sky in the distance turned white.
Qin Country.
On the official road leading to Xianyang City, soldiers in black armor and carrying banners were galloping on their horses with incomparable excitement on their faces!
Very quickly.
The towering gate of Xianyang City appeared in front of him.
"Good news! Good news!"
"Open the city gates!"
The scouts shouted as they galloped.
When the guards at the Xianyang city gate saw the flag on his back, they immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and make way.
Ta Ta Ta Ta!
The warhorses entered the city and continued to gallop at full speed.
The surrounding commoners all made way for him, afraid that they would block the way of this messenger soldier.
In the State of Qin.
The law was strict. Blocking the spread of the border battle report was a capital crime!
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
......
Ever since they entered the city, the soldiers had been shouting non-stop, as if they wanted to spread the news of the victory at the front line to the entire Xianyang City.
The commoners on both sides of the street couldn't help but discuss animatedly as they watched the scouts whizzing past.
"How long has it been since they sent out their troops and they already won the battle?”
"Isn't the Second Prince too powerful?？”
"Exactly!"
"Counting the days, excluding the time spent on the road, we will only reach Yan Country in seven or eight days at most.”
"Truly amazing!"
"Of course!"
"Have you forgotten what kind of person the Second Prince is?”
" That's a land god!"
"Yes! That's right!"
......
The news of victory came too suddenly, so much so that the people of Xianyang City were very surprised.
According to his previous thinking.
Which war did not take a long time to determine the outcome? It was normal for it to take three to five years.
In the end…
It had only been less than a month and the victor had already been decided?
At this moment.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was currently holding a court meeting with all his officials in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace.
On the throne.
There was a hint of worry on Ying Zheng's dignified face.
According to the usual practice, after arriving at the battlefield, the frontline would send a battle report to Xianyang every day.
Unless there was a special situation where there was no time to send a battle report or the battle report could not be sent.
Could it be that Ziqiu was in danger?
Ying Ziqiu himself had brought a small number of troops, and he was fighting across the Wei and Zhao countries. Moreover, he hadn't received any battle reports for several days.
This inevitably made Ying Zheng a little worried.
"Your Majesty, there have been no reports from the front line for five days. The Second Prince is afraid that he is in danger.”
"The Second Prince is a land god, and the two great generals, Wang Jian and Meng Wu, are the pillars of the Qin country.”
Li Si stood out and said to Ying Zheng.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you're right!”
"There has been no battle report for seven days.”
"King, please send reinforcements!"
Censor Wang Wan also stood up to agree with Li Si.
"Sigh, the Second Prince is still a little young. His achievements in martial arts have made him a little too arrogant.”
"However, war is not a Jianghu fight. It is not a victory that can be won by martial arts.”
"Now that our army is surrounded, not only will Great Qin lose face, but we will also suffer heavy losses!”
High Official Chunyu Yue stepped forward to criticize Ying Ziqiu.
From his words, it was as if he had already determined that Ying Ziqiu was leading the Qin army into danger.
As the Eldest Young Master Fu Su's hanger-on.
Chunyu Yue naturally wouldn't let go of any opportunity to strike Ying Ziqiu down.
"Your Majesty, we can't hesitate anymore!"
"Quickly send troops to rescue them. Otherwise, it will be too late for regrets!”
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji stood out, and his voice was almost the last straw that broke Ying Zheng's back.
Looking at all the officials in the court urging him to send troops to rescue them, Ying Zheng felt a little hesitant and uneasy.
Was his son really in danger?
He was so confident and a genius. How could he be in danger?
But...
If he wasn't in danger, why hadn't there been any battle reports for seven days?
At this moment.
Ying Zheng was under immense pressure.
He was the one who ignored the objections of the ministers and allowed Ying Ziqiu to lead the army. If he really failed, he would not be able to explain himself to the ministers, to the entire Qin country!
At that time, his prestige would be greatly reduced.
"Report-"
"The scouts at the front line have sent a battle report!"
Just as all the officials in the court were denouncing Ying Ziqiu, thinking that he was surrounded in the Yan Country, a loud voice broke the depressing atmosphere.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was even more spirited!
"Hurry!"
"Quickly bring her in!"
His voice trembled slightly. God knew how much pressure he had been under these past few days.
Very quickly.
A travel-worn scout with a weathered face was brought into Zhangtai Palace's main hall by the Imperial Guards.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"I am here on the orders of General Wang Jian to deliver good news!”
The scout knelt on one knee, holding the battle report written by Wang Jian with both hands and presenting it to Ying Zheng.
"Good news!"
"Haha! It's good news."
"Li Si, read it for me!"
Ying Zheng was overjoyed upon hearing this, and directly asked Li Si to recite it.
This kid was the first to stand up and say that his son was in danger and was surrounded, and that he had to send troops to rescue him.
Now, he had to give him a hard slap in the face!
"Yes!"
Li Si walked out in embarrassment and picked up the bamboo scroll in the scout's hand. He felt a burning pain on his face as if he had been slapped.
This slap in the face came a little too quickly!
Li Si opened the bamboo slip and briefly read the following contents. He moistened his throat and prepared to read the battle report to Ying Zheng.
In the end.
When he saw the battle report on the bamboo slip, his eyeballs almost popped out of his eye sockets!
The expression on his face instantly became extremely shocked!
His body stiffened!
His brain went down!
Pa da---
The bamboo slip in his hand fell to the ground, and he was stunned! Stunned! He was dumbfounded!
There was only one voice left in his mind.
This was…
How was that possible?
