Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.
"Imperial Father, why did you summon Fusu?”
Fu Su stood in the middle of the hall and bowed to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips and looked at his son who was sitting under the counter with his tiger-like eyes. His tone was not so serious and cold,"
"Fu Su, did you know that Ziheng broke through the Mohist City of Traps in one day?”
"Father, your son understands."
Fu Su cupped his hands and continued,"
"Sixth brother is talented, brave, and resourceful.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and asked,"
"If I appoint Ziheng as the Crown Prince, are you willing to be loyal to him?”
Upon hearing the words 'Crown Prince', Fu Su's body suddenly trembled as if someone had poked his vitals. His eyes narrowed as he said,"
"Sixth Brother, you have wiped out the rebels of the six countries and established your prestige. The people of the world have submitted to you."
"Sixth brother will build the prosperous Great Qin. With such a talented ruler, Fusu will definitely do his best to assist him.”
Hearing Fu Su's words, it was obvious that he was being careful.
If he, Ying Ziheng, was able to establish the prosperous Great Qin, Fu Su would do his best to assist him.
If he, Ying Ziheng, could not establish the prosperous Great Qin, even if he was the Crown Prince and the future Emperor, Fu Su might not fully support him.
After years of war, how could Ying Zheng, who ruled the world, not understand the meaning behind these words?
However, this was exactly what he wanted to see.
How could he, Ying Zheng's son, not have ambition and talent?
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up into a calm smile as he said,"
"Now that the Hu have invaded Liaodong, are you willing to go to Liaodong and suppress the Hu so that they won't dare to invade Great Qin's territory?”
When he said this, Ying Zheng's enunciation was crisp and forceful, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.
The Hu had invaded, and he had to go to Liaodong to suppress them. This was asking him to make contributions.
Fu Su was smart enough to know Ying Zheng's intention immediately. He bowed and said,"
"Fusu is willing to head to Liaodong to drive away the Hu people and prevent them from invading our Great Qin territory.”
This was the answer that Ying Zheng wanted to hear.
"Alright."
Ying Zheng said happily.
At this time, a eunuch hurried to Ying Zheng's side and said softly,""Your Majesty, General Meng Tian has arrived."
"Xuan." Ying Zheng said.
After that, Ying Zheng put away the gentle attitude he had when he was talking to Fu Su, and resumed his serious and indifferent expression.
Meng Tian, who was dressed in armor, walked into the hall and stopped beside Fu Su.""Your Majesty."
"Yes." " Yes, General Meng." Ying Zheng nodded and asked," Have you dealt with the rebels of the Mo Family who were imprisoned in Sang Hai?"”
"Your Majesty, the commanders of the Mo clan, Thief Zhi and Pao Ding, have been executed.”
In Ying Ziheng's plan, when he attacked the Mohist City of Traps, he would execute Pao Ding and Thief Zhi.
Therefore, when the news of Ying Ziheng attacking the Mohist City of Traps spread, Meng Tian had killed the two of them.
This point was mentioned in the bamboo slips that Sang Hai had passed to Ying Zheng, which was why Ying Zheng had asked this question.
"Well done."
Ying Zheng said indifferently, then continued,"
"Now that the Hu have invaded Liaodong, I order you to lead 50,000 troops and Fusu to Liaodong and drive the Hu out of the Great Qin territory.”
Meng Tian cupped her hands and bowed.”
"The two of you go and prepare. We will depart tomorrow.”
"Yes."
After bowing, Meng Tian and Fu Su left the hall.
…………
The next day.
The cold wind was biting cold. Fu Su put on a fur coat and sat in a carriage.
"Ta Ta Ta…"
Meng Tian rode her horse to the carriage and said,"
"Young Master, the army has gathered and can set off at any time.”
In the carriage, Fu Su lifted the curtain in front of the carriage and looked at Meng Tian, who was wearing armor."
"Let's go."
"Yes, Young Master."
Meng Tian reined in her horse and led the 50,000 strong army towards the north.
……………
Old Chu, Jiujiang County, Ying Du County House.
"The Sixth Young Master is about to arrive at Ying Du. Tell me, how can we get the Sixth Young Master to leave Jiujiang County as soon as possible?”
In the main hall, on the high seat, Jiujiang County Governor Ji Lin sat upright.
Ji Lin was originally a chivalrous warrior of the Chu Country. Because he loved to rob the rich and help the poor, he was deeply supported by the lower class citizens of the Chu Country. Later, in order to protect the lower class citizens of the Chu Country, he joined the Chu Army.
While charging into the battlefield, Ji Lin's face was cut and his left leg was broken. After the defeat of Chu State, Ji Lin was deeply loved by the people of Chu State, and Ying Zheng specially conferred him the title of Governor of Jiujiang Prefecture.
In this way, the people of the old Chu were appeased.
Now that he knew that Great Qin's Prince Ying Ziheng was about to arrive at Jiujiang County, he felt a headache coming on.
He asked his subordinates, but no one answered.
All of them stood in the main hall with their heads lowered, motionless like wooden figures.
Ji Lin was annoyed and said,""A bunch of useless things.”
"Yes, Mayor."
The subordinates left.
Ji Lin opened his mouth and rubbed his brows with a melancholic expression.
"What's wrong?"
At this moment, a woman in a light yellow brocade dress walked into the main hall with hot tea in her hand. She asked Ji Lin who was sitting on a chair with a sad face.
This woman was Huang Linglong, Ji Lin's wife and one of the chivalrous thieves who robbed the rich to help the poor.
"The Sixth Young Master is about to arrive at Jiujiang County. I'm trying to think of a way to get him to leave Jiujiang County as soon as possible or not enter Jiujiang County.”
"I didn't think of any way."
Ji Lin sighed lightly, the worry on his face was twisted out.
"The Sixth Young Master, Ying Ziheng, who rode on the martial world and hunted the world.”Huang Linglong poured a cup of hot tea for Ji Lin and said,
"Wouldn't it be good if he came? He can solve the flood in Jiujiang County.”
Ji Lin took a sip of hot tea and said helplessly,"
"Natural disasters are merciless. Because of the flood, the granaries of Jiujiang County were all distributed to the people by me. I hid the truth from the court. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor and will be beheaded.”
"If Sixth Young Master comes here and sees the situation in Jiujiang County, everything will be exposed.”
Huang Linglong wasn't worried at all. Instead, she smiled and comforted him."
"In the early years, when we roamed the martial world, we had long disregarded life and death."
"Now that the natural disaster has ravaged Jiujiang County, you have opened the granary to help countless people. This is a great deed..."
"If you are beheaded, I will accompany you. You will not be lonely on the road to the netherworld.”
Hearing this, Ji Lin felt warmth in his heart. He stared at Huang Linglong and was speechless.
…………
"Young Master, Jiujiang County is just ahead.”
Chen Baiyi put away the map and said to Ying Ziheng.
Ying Ziheng looked ahead and said,
"Jiujiang Prefecture was previously the old land of the Chu Kingdom. In the past, the capital of the Chu Kingdom was Ying Du. It was prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was a rich land..."
"The Han River flows through this place, and the waterway is developed. If we want to establish the prosperous Great Qin, this place must be re-governed.”
"Let's go to Ying Du."
After saying this, Ying Ziheng rode forward.
As they approached Ying Du, Qing 'er scanned the forest and found that many trees had been stripped of their bark.
There were also many commoners curled up in the forest.
