The night was silent.
Huhai sat cross-legged in the Eighteenth Prince's residence and heaved a sigh of relief.
He slowly opened his eyes, his face filled with surprise.
"Teacher, I've succeeded. I'm now in the early Hou Tian stage!”
Zhao Gao stood in front of Huhai with his hands behind his back. His cold face finally relaxed a little.
"Fortunately, I finally made it."
Tomorrow was the day of the hunt.
This was an annual event.
All the officials, relatives of the royal family, and many children of the nobles would be present.
Some made friends through literature, some recited poems, and some discussed important matters of the court.
But the most important thing was still the hunting festival!
What was a hunting festival?
It was to hunt down the most talented and promising experts of the new generation.
Whoever obtained the most prey would stand out in this grand ceremony and become famous.
If they were lucky, Ying Zheng would even reward them with some titles of nobility, bringing glory to their ancestors.
Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Wang Ben, Zhang Han, Li Xin, and the other famous generals had all started to show their talents during the Hunting Festival.
To a certain extent.
The Hunting Festival was a way for Great Qin to absorb new blood.
In order to let Huhai amaze everyone at the Hunting Ceremony, Zhao Gao had spent a lot of money.
He took out all the things that Emperor Shi had given him over the years.
All that could provide cultivation was given to Huhai.
Thank goodness.
His efforts had finally paid off.
"Hehehe, teacher, the low-grade Essence Qi Pill you gave me is really useful. After eating three of them, I immediately broke through to the early stage of the Hou Tian realm. Teacher, do you have any more low-grade Essence Qi Pills?”
Huhai looked at Zhao Gao greedily.
Hearing this, Zhao Gao's mouth twitched.
"Essence Energy Pills are natural treasures. This old man spent a lot of effort to accumulate these three low-grade Essence Energy Pills for decades.”
"How can it be so easy to obtain?"
Zhao Gao glanced at Huhai with disdain, as if he was looking at a pig.
She was almost twelve years old.
Wanting to break through to martial artist, he actually still needed to rely on Essence Qi Pills.
How trashy was Huhai's aptitude?
People said that dragons gave birth to dragons and phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes.
There were so many dynasties and princes in Nine Regions, but none of them were like Huhai. He was already so old, but he still had to rely on pills to break through to the early stage of the Houtian realm.
This was equivalent to an adult who couldn't even speak.
Zhao Gao's heart ached when he thought about how he had spent the three low-grade Essence Energy Pills he had painstakingly accumulated to feed that stupid pig Huhai.
Huhai didn't notice it at all. He pouted and said,""What? That was it? I thought there were still many teachers.”
“……”
Zhao Gao almost cried from Huhai's stupidity. He wanted to slap him twice.
Damn it!
You prodigal thing.
If you had worked harder, why would this old man waste that treasure?
"Now that everything has been decided, rest early. Tomorrow will be the day when you, the Eighteenth Prince, will display your might.”
After saying that, Zhao Gao turned around and left his residence.
He did not want to stay here for another fifteen minutes.
……
In Zhangtai Palace, the candlelight that filled the walls swayed, emitting a faint light.
Ying Zheng sat on his throne, quietly listening to Zhang Han's report.
"Are you saying that Little Nineteen changed her story today?”
He knocked on the imperial table in front of him and asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Han nodded respectfully.”
"I don't know what happened to the nineteenth prince today, but he didn't continue to tell the story of the second prince. Instead, he told a story…about the empress.”
Towards the end, Zhang Han's tone was clearly a little off.
As the eyes and ears of the First Emperor, Zhang Han had seen countless big scenes and made great contributions.
From annihilating the six countries to unifying the world.
Zhang Han witnessed this history with his own eyes.
Once upon a time.
He was confident that his horizons had already reached a certain height.
However, Ying Chang 'an's appearance made Zhang Han fall into self-doubt again.
He had accurately predicted the change at the Black Tortoise Gate and the Turkic army's advance.
And now, he had foreseen the empress's existence in advance.
One had to know.
Wu Meiniang did not announce her ascension to the throne.
This was because within the Great Zhou, Wu Mei Niang's status was not recognized.
As for the Great Zhou Imperial Court and the imperial family, they had also lost too much face because of this matter. They had tightly sealed the news and tried their best to prevent other empires from knowing.
Because of these circumstances, very few people knew that in the past thousands of years, the only Empress had appeared in Nine Regions.
If it wasn't for Zhang Han receiving the First Emperor's order to bring Wu Meiniang into the palace, even he wouldn't have known that a woman had ascended the throne in Great Zhou.
Coincidentally.
The nineteenth prince, Ying Chang 'an, told a story about the empress.
Coincidentally, this empress also had the surname Wu.
This was too much of a coincidence, so much so that Zhang Han felt like a fool.
He couldn't understand it either.
Was the Nineteenth Prince a child who spoke without fear, or did he really know something?
"Oh? A story about the empress?"
Ying Zheng stopped knocking on the table, narrowed his eyes and asked,""Is there any coincidence with the Great Zhou Empress?”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The empress in the story of the nineteenth prince was also surnamed Wu.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly opened, his gaze as fierce as a tiger's.
"Continue."
A voice that carried the might of an emperor slowly sounded.
" Your Majesty," Zhang Han said respectfully," the empress in the story of the 19th Prince, other than her surname, there is nothing else that she resembles."”
"The empress in the story was born as a beautiful woman and hooked up with a prince.”
"Later, that prince became the emperor, and that empress was later conferred the title of imperial concubine.”
Listening to Zhang Han's narration, Ying Zheng gradually calmed down.
The empress in the story was completely different from Wu Meiniang.
It seemed that the story of that brat was not as miraculous as it seemed.
Perhaps he had learned some things about the Great Tang and made up some stories based on his own ideas.
"Alright, you can leave first."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"This subordinate will obey."
Zhang Han bowed respectfully and left the hall.
As the last person left, the cold and empty palace fell silent again.
"Be careful tomorrow."
A dark shadow silently appeared behind Ying Zheng.
"What do you mean?" Ying Zheng asked indifferently without turning his head.”
" The third assassination that the little prince mentioned…"
The black shadow seemed to have more to say.
"What's wrong? You believe that brat's prophecy too?”
Ying Zheng cast a sideways glance at the black shadow behind him.
"I only believe in my sword, but my sword tells me that there seems to be a storm in Xianyang City.“
"Hahaha!"
Ying Zheng threw his head back and laughed loudly, and the majesty of an emperor was unleashed.
"What can we do about the small Xianyang City?" he said majestically. I'll break them all!"
