Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.
The Emperor's Sword hung at Ying Zheng's waist, and he stood with his hands behind his back.
"Ta Ta Ta!"
A guard hurried into the hall.
"Your Majesty, the Zhongche Prefecture's magistrate requests an audience!"
Hmm?
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
A few days ago, the killing star fell on East County.
Ying Zheng ordered Zhang Han to pay his respects to Baiqi in Yuyang County.
He also secretly ordered the Network to investigate the Falling Star incident in East County.
Now, a few days had passed.
As the leader of the network, the commander of the Zhongche Mansion, Zhao Gao, requested an audience.
The investigation of the East County incident must have come to a conclusion.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng waved his hand and said,""Announce!"
"Yes, sir!" The guard bowed and left.
Not long after.
A man wearing a black and red robe with a feminine expression entered the hall.
The man knelt on the ground with his head touching the ground, and his sharp voice rang out.
"Your Majesty, the investigation into the meteorite incident in East County has come to a conclusion.”
"Yes." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao got up from the ground and stood in the Qilin Palace with his head lowered.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the members of the Network discovered a huge pit in a field in East County.”
"There is a thousand-pound red meteorite in the crater. I have already sent it to Xianyang.”
"Your Majesty will probably be able to see it with your own eyes tomorrow.”
Hmm?
Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned and said unhappily,"
"Are you saying that you want me to look at a broken stone?”
" No," Zhao Gao shook his head." Your Majesty might not know, but that stone is no ordinary stone."”
"On that rock…"
Ying Zheng had just raised his interest, but was interrupted by Zhao Gao.
"Chief Prefect of Zhongche Prefecture, are you unable to speak properly?”
His tone was cold and emotionless.
Zhao Gao's heart trembled and he fell to his knees again.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's just that the contents on the meteorite are really unbelievable. That's why I..."
Unbelievable?
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, turned around and snorted coldly,""Speak!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao's legs trembled, and his expression was extremely ugly. He said with a sobbing tone,"Your Majesty…"
"Then... There were four words written on the stone, Death…The one who destroyed Qin!"
After saying that, Zhao Gao kowtowed as if he had gone crazy.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I deserve to die for saying such treasonous words!”
"Hmm?"
Ying Zheng's body shook abruptly, then he turned around and stared at Zhao Gao.
A majestic imperial pressure gushed out and engulfed the entire hall.
At the same time, in the shadows of the Qilin Palace, an incomparably sharp sword intent firmly locked onto Zhao Gao.
It was as if Zhao Gao dared to act rashly or say the wrong word.
This sword qi was about to decapitate him in an instant!
......
In the Qilin Palace.
Zhao Gao kept kowtowing.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down…"
Bang! Bang!
However, Ying Zheng seemed to not hear her, as he muttered the four words in a daze.
"The one who destroyed Qin…Hu?"
"Destroyed Qin?"
"Hu?"
A moment later, an unprecedented coldness burst out from Ying Zheng's eyes.
Ever since he had become the Emperor, he had spared no effort to make Great Qin into a country that was as strong as an iron bucket.
For this, he sacrificed his love, alienated his family, and spent a huge amount of time and energy.
Why?
Naturally, it was to create an eternal Great Qin!
For this, he had already paid too much.
That was why China was unified and the world was unified.
Now, someone actually said that they wanted to destroy Great Qin?
This made Ying Zheng, who was focused on consolidating the Great Qin Empire, feel an unprecedented rage.
If you want to destroy Great Qin, have you asked me?
......
"Phew!" After a while, Ying Zheng calmed down.
He looked at Zhao Gao, whose forehead was almost bleeding.
"Alright, get up."
Only then did Zhao Gao get up from the ground, trembling.
Even though the blood on his forehead slid down the bridge of his nose, he did not dare to reach out to wipe it away.
At this moment, he felt that the monstrous sword intent that had locked onto him earlier had quietly retreated.
However, he still did not dare to act rashly. He just stood behind Ying Zheng with his head lowered, not daring to make another sound.
A few breaths later, Ying Zheng's calm voice rang out.
"Zhao Gao, do you think these words were carved by someone?”
Zhao Gao thought for a moment and shook his head.”
"I have seen the words on the meteorite with my own eyes.”
"Then, you will become one with the stone body.”
"It doesn't seem like someone did it on purpose."
"Yes." " Yes." Ying Zheng nodded and asked again," Then, what do you think the 'Hu' on this stone means?"”
His words were laced with killing intent.
Zhao Gao swallowed hard and slowly said,""I... This subject believes that this Hu refers to the Hu of the north.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
This was the most reliable explanation. Great Qin had been conquering for many years and had wiped out the six countries.
It was equivalent to pacifying the internal strife in the Huaxia Continent, making it a piece of iron.
During this period, without the suppression from the powerful countries in the Central Plains, the nomadic tribes in the north rose rapidly.
In a few decades, from the originally scarce number, it rapidly developed to a point where even the Qin country could not ignore it.
With a large population, it also meant that the nomads in the north were in short supply of resources.
After all, the grassland was only so big. If they wanted to graze for a living, they first had to have a good grassland.
If there were none, then they could only let the livestock gnaw on some grass that lacked nutrients, and eventually starve to death or die of illness.
As a result, many Hu who did not have high-quality pastures turned their attention to Great Qin's land.
More accurately, they looked at Great Qin's hardworking citizens.
Since there was ready-made food and resources, they could get them easily.
Why did they have to fight for the grassland with their own kind?
Thus, the term Hu Thief came into being.
They were the herdsmen who would form groups to cross the border and rob the Qin people every year.
At first, Ying Zheng did not take him seriously.
They thought that it was just a small fight at the border.
However, later on, as the Hu bandits became more and more rampant, there were even situations where villages and towns were massacred.
Ying Zheng had no choice but to take it seriously.
In the imperial court, plans to conquer the northern borders had been formulated more than once.
However, they were all dissuaded by some ministers on the grounds that the empire needed to recuperate and not go to war.
Ying Zheng had no choice but to give up for the time being, but he had been keeping a plan to conquer the north, which would put an end to the troubles of the Hu people.
And today, when the words 'Hu, the one who destroyed Qin' entered Ying Zheng's ears…
This plan started to loosen up, like a treasure covered in dust.
They began to shake off the dust, as if they were about to appear in front of the world.
.......
In the Qilin Palace.
Zhao Gao had already left.
Ying Zheng stood in the middle of the empty hall with his hands behind his back.
He tilted his head slightly and glanced at a certain shadow."What do you think of this matter?"
From the shadows, a white-robed figure with a sword on his back walked out.
A slightly magnetic voice sounded out,"Your Majesty, I believe that these words are Lord Wu 'an's final warning to Great Qin, and we should take them seriously."”
"Oh?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
This meteorite was formed from a killing star, and the words and the stone were natural, not man-made.
It was reasonable to say that it was a warning from the killing star Baiqi to the Qin country.
......
At this moment.
"Ta Ta Ta!"
Footsteps came from outside the hall. The white-robed man's figure flashed and returned to the darkness.
A guard entered the hall and knelt down to report,""Your Majesty, General Zhang Han has returned!”
