At the foot of Mount Tai.
After the assassination attempt that night, the First Emperor Ying Zheng gradually began to realize the truth. This time, the origin path would not be peaceful.
The remnants of the Six Nations would not let him go easily. They would take advantage of the opportunity to assassinate him after he left Xianyang.
Therefore…
If he continued to travel east to the Sang Sea, the journey to the source would be fraught with difficulties.
The assassination that night might just be the beginning.
It was far from over!
In addition…
This time, he left Xianyang for the eastern tour in a hurry, and Ying Zheng was far from having a foolproof plan.
Even the military forces that he brought along as guards were only Zhang Han and the Shadow Secret Guards that he led. The total number of people added together would not exceed two thousand.
The Shadow Secret Guards were mainly elites and would not make up the numbers.
Therefore…
The total number of Shadow Secret Guards added up to only slightly more than a thousand people.
Of course.
Although there weren't many of them, every member of the Shadow Secret Guard was the elite of the elite.
Together with Zhang Han's personal command,
It could allow the Shadow Secret Guards, which only had a thousand people, to unleash the powerful combat strength of a large army that was no less than ten thousand people.
But even so, after the assassination attempt last night, Ying Zheng still felt that the power of the Shadow Secret Guards alone was too weak.
This eastern tour…
He thought.
In order to ensure that there would be no more assassinations, they could only temporarily stop their eastern tour.
He would continue the eastern patrol plan after he made a foolproof plan.
And now,
Ying Zheng was already prepared to return to Xianyang from Mount Tai.
After returning to Xianyang City,
He would immediately begin to ruthlessly purge the unstable factors in the Great Qin Empire, as well as the anti-Qin remnants, as well as the Mo family, who had dared to send people to assassinate him.
These people were the targets that Ying Zheng had decided to settle in his heart.
"Men."
"Summon Fu Su, Li Si, Zhao Gao, Zhang Han, and the others.”
"I have important instructions."
His thoughts came to an abrupt halt as Ying Zheng gave an order.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The subordinates who received the order quickly followed Ying Zheng's order and went to inform Fu Su and the others.
"Right, go and inform Master Zhang Ye.”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment, then gave the second order.
After a while.
The first to arrive at the camp was Ying Zheng's eldest son, Fusu.
"Greetings, Imperial Father."
Fu Su's expression was respectful.
Then,
Li Si, Zhao Gao, and the leader of the Shadow Guards, Zhang Han, arrived at the camp.
In the end,
Zhang Ye also came.
As soon as he stepped into the camp, he saw First Emperor Ying Zheng and the few figures with the highest authority in the empire around him.
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Ye walked to the side.
The privilege granted by the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, allowed him to meet Ying Zheng without the need to bow and greet him respectfully.
In the entire court, he was the only one who had such a privilege!
This was the only privilege!
Even the eldest son, Fu Su, did not have such special treatment.
From this, it could be seen that
Even though Zhang Ye was only a minister, his actual status and position were above the three dukes, so much so that even Li Si could not compare to him.
"The reason why I gathered all of you here is to convey one thing.”
Ying Zheng got straight to the point and went straight to the main topic." I officially announce the temporary termination of this eastern tour plan. Next, all the beloved ministers will give the order that I will immediately leave Mount Tai and return to Xianyang.”
"Get everyone ready."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Fu Su and Li Si were not too surprised.
He had just experienced an assassination attempt, and it was obvious that Ying Zheng had received quite a shock.
At this moment.
It was understandable that Ying Zheng would take the initiative to stop the eastern patrol plan.
Furthermore,
They had traveled more than 800 miles from Xianyang to Mount Tai. This time, they did not fail. Although they did not reach the Sang Sea smoothly, they did not give up halfway.
Mount Tai, this place of worship…
It could be considered a very good destination!
"This humble servant is incompetent and has frightened His Majesty.”
Zhang Han knelt on one knee and lowered his head.
Of course he knew.
If not for that assassination, the First Emperor would not have stopped his eastern tour.
He could only blame himself, the leader of the Shadow Secret Guards, for his incompetence!
He couldn't stop the assassin.
The assassin had frightened the First Emperor.
So,
That was why Ying Zheng temporarily stopped his plan to patrol the east.
"Alright."
Faced with Zhang Han's initiative to admit his fault, Ying Zheng remained expressionless, without much emotion.
"All of you may leave."
After giving the order to stop the eastern patrol, Ying Zheng dismissed everyone present.
Only Zhang Ye was left.
After a simple conversation with Ying Zheng, Zhang Ye also left the camp.
The eastern tour stopped,
The original plan had changed.
Thus,
The team that was patrolling the east was about to turn back and return to Xianyang City in the west.
In this regard,
Zhang Ye had no objections.
The only thing he cared about was…
"It's been so long, and the system still hasn't issued a second mission?”
Zhang Ye was puzzled.
It had been several days since he had completed the last mission.
In these few days, he did not trigger any more missions.
Currently,
There was still the first mission, which was the most important main mission.
Zhang Ye had defeated Duanmu Rong, the Sect Leader of the Medical Sect, as the abandoned disciple of the Medical Sect. She was the Sect Leader Senior Sister in name.
As of now,
Zhang Ye had yet to complete this mission.
As for the second side mission…
It had been completed several days ago.
Unfortunately,
After completing the second side mission, he was unable to trigger another mission.
Zhang Ye guessed.
Perhaps it was not the right time yet.
Because he had been staying at Mount Tai, the place of worship, for the past few days, he was unable to fulfill the mechanism conditions for the mission to be triggered. Therefore, the mission had not been triggered for a long time.
Perhaps…
After leaving Mount Tai,
The system mission could be triggered.
A moment later,
Zhang Ye suppressed the messy thoughts in his head and quietly waited for the team to set off.
Gradually,
About an hour passed.
Under Zhang Han's personal lead,
Over a thousand Shadow Secret Guards were walking in front, opening a path for First Emperor Ying Zheng.
"Set off!"
Meanwhile, Fu Su, Li Si, Zhao Gao and the others were accompanying Ying Zheng by his side, following the footsteps of the Shadow Secret Guards as they took the carriage back to Xianyang.
Zhang Ye naturally had the privilege of riding in a carriage.
Very quickly.
The entire team left Mount Tai.
They were getting further and further away from Mount Tai.
From the location of Mount Tai, they had to travel eight hundred miles west to reach Xianyang City.
Along the way,
Long journey.
Because the carriage that First Emperor Ying Zheng was riding in should not be too bumpy.
Therefore,
Although the speed of the entire team was not as fast as a turtle, it was still relatively slow.
However, comfort was the most important.
A conservative estimate…
At this speed, it would take three to five days to return to Xianyang.
At the same time.
When Ying Zheng ordered the troops to stop their eastern tour and return to Xianyang,
It also disrupted the original plans of some evil villains in the dark.
These murderers who were originally prepared to act according to the original plan...
He had no choice but to take the risk!
