Sword Saint Defected! The Ancestral Dragon was furious! Let me protect the Great Qin for eternity!
At this moment, in Xianyang City, although there was a crescent moon hanging in the night sky, the cold wind was still chilling.
In the main hall of Zhangtai Palace:
A few eunuchs were holding the dim candlelight. The flames danced around, adding some luster to the hall.
"Ahem…Ahem!"
In front of a sandalwood table covered with bamboo slips and memorials. A man dressed in black robes with a dignified expression was sitting there, dealing with government affairs with a focused expression.
This extraordinary and dignified man was the most respected master of the Great Qin Empire.
First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
Accompanied by a series of coughs, Ying Zheng put down the thick and heavy memorials in his hands.
He rubbed his temples tiredly.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's better to rest early!”
Looking at Ying Zheng's exhausted appearance, Zhao Gao, who was dressed in a black and red official robe, walked up from Zhangtai Palace and said to Ying Zheng with a concerned look on his face.
Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Zheng did not get up and prepare to return to the palace to sleep.
Instead, he slowly raised his head and looked at the pitter-patter of the moonlight outside the window. Then, he closed his eyes and rested slightly.
Too many things had happened recently.
The newly unified empire had many problems.
The Xiongnu in the north and the Yue in the south were eyeing the Great Qin Empire covetously. Although they did not dare to cross the border, they kept provoking the Great Qin Empire with small tricks!
The remnants of the six countries within the territory did not give up on the idea of restoring the country, and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy had evil intentions of rebelling against Qin!
There are also droughts, plagues, natural and man-made disasters
The people were already suffering!
Moreover, the most serious thing was…
Ying Zheng could clearly feel that his body was getting weaker and weaker.
"The fourth eastern tour seems to be on the agenda!”
"This time, who should be in charge of the country?”
At this moment, the first emperor in the history of China, and also the greatest emperor in history, had a sense of urgency in his heart!
He had yet to appoint a crown prince, not because he was obsessed with the imperial power and refused to let go, but because of all his descendants.
Ying Zheng really could not find a qualified successor.
The eldest son, Fusu, respected Confucianism. He was indecisive and had no courage. His mind was filled with benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the three cardinal guides. He also followed the Confucian doctrine of defeating others without fighting and opposed war.
What disappointed Ying Zheng the most was that Fusu had been trying to persuade him to abolish the current system of prefectures and counties and restore the ancient system of enfeoffment!
He had truly been poisoned by those rotten Confucians and was extremely pedantic!
How could Ying Zheng allow such an action that would cause Great Qin to fall back and might even split up again?
As for Huhai, he was eccentric and indulged in fun. He was young and could not take on great responsibilities!
As a result, this huge empire could not find a qualified successor for the time being!
"Sigh, if Dong 'er was still alive and midnight had not become a taboo, perhaps…"
The faces of Ying Ziye and a graceful and elegant woman appeared in Ying Zheng's mind.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was feeling a little nostalgic and emotional, but he suddenly felt a little irritated, and wanted to go to the Imperial House to visit Ziye.
After all, no matter how taboo it was, Ziye was still his son, Yin Man's elder brother!
........
"Your Majesty, Left Prime Minister Li Si requests an audience!”
All of a sudden, the voice of the eunuch interrupted Ying Zheng's train of thought!
"Announce!"
Ying Zheng heard the eunuch's words.
He could not help but feel a little puzzled.
Li Si?
It was already so late, yet he still came to Zhangtai Palace to ask for an audience.
Why?
Meanwhile, Zhao Gao, who was dressed in a red robe, stood beside Ying Zheng.
After hearing this, a strange expression flashed across his demonic eyes.
Li Si?
What was this guy doing here so late at night?
After a while.
Li Si walked into Zhangtai Palace.
His back, which was drenched by the rain, showed how rushed this Prime Minister, who was second only to him and above all, had come.
"Your Majesty, Ge Nia has defected!"
"General Meng Tian has already led 300 elites of the Great Qin Empire to Xianyang City!”
After Li Si entered the palace, he immediately knelt down in front of Ying Zheng. After he finished speaking, he trembled and did not dare to raise his head!
"What did you say?"
Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng, who had his eyes closed, stood up immediately.
A dangerous glint flashed across his eyes, as if a hibernating black dragon was about to devour someone. It made people shudder.
A dignified and solemn aura instantly filled the entire Zhangtai Palace, and an invisible pressure enveloped the palace hall.
Seeing Ying Zheng's expression, Zhao Gao and the other eunuchs knelt down immediately!
"Ge Nia!"
A furious expression appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
The person he trusted the most, Ge Nia, who had gone through life and death with him, from inheriting the throne to unifying the six countries, and who he regarded as one of his confidants!
The descendant of the Ghost Valley.
He was the Great Qin Sword Saint!
He actually did it!
He had defected!
At this moment, Ying Zheng's heart was already bursting with uncontrollable fury.
The anger of the one emperor of the ages would only be appeased by the baptism of endless blood.
"Inform the civil and military officials that the Qilin Palace will discuss the matter in fifteen minutes.”
"Those who are late will be punished with car cracking!"
............
Ding! Great Qin's Sword Saint Ge Nia has defected and is currently heading towards the Waning Moon Valley. Great Qin's Fate has declined!
[Mission: Please step out of the Forbidden Palace and rush to the Waning Moon Valley to kill or subdue Sword Saint Ge Nia!]
Host, please choose whether to accept the mission!
Hearing the system's voice, Ying Ziye, who was in the forbidden palace, couldn't help but turn cold.
Had this day finally come?
Ge Nia, the successor of Phantom Valley, was the Sword Saint of the Empire personally conferred by his father, Ying Zheng.
He held the Abyss Rainbow Sword, which was ranked second in the World Famous Sword Manual, and his strength had reached the terrifying Great Grandmaster Realm.
It could be said that Ge Nia was definitely one of the top martial artists in the Great Qin Empire.
And Ying Ziye also knew that the defection of Sword Saint Ge Nia was a symbolic node for the decline of the Great Qin Empire!
From then on, the Ancestral Dragon began his fourth eastern tour.
Many of the neutral sects among the Hundred Schools of Philosophy went against Great Qin, and the Seven Peasants 'Victory, Wu Kuang, rebelled. Xiang Yu, the remnant of the Six Nations, took the opportunity to rise up after regaining his old subordinates, and even Liu Ji started to develop in a wretched manner.
As such, whether it was for himself or Great Qin!
Ge Nia must die!
"Accept the mission!"
"Gan, Wen, Cui!"
With a thought, Gan Wencui and the other two appeared behind Ying Ziye.
And Ying Ziye had already fused with the bull talisman that represented strength and the rabbit talisman that represented super speed.
Gan Wencui respectfully opened the gate of the forbidden palace. Ying Ziye took a step forward, and the demonic aura that belonged to the Holy Lord burst out from his body!
The guards in the forbidden palace looked terrified. Their hearts trembled, and no one dared to stop the Ninth Prince, who was like a demon, from leaving the forbidden palace!
Because at this moment, they clearly knew!
Who would stop him! Who would die!
Ying Ziye looked back at the forbidden palace where he had stayed for more than ten years, and then walked out with a determined look in his eyes.
Let him do it.
Protect the Great Qin for eternity!
