When Lao Ai barged in arrogantly, he did not notice that there were two people in a dark corner watching his every move. That was what shocked him the most.
To be able to completely hide his aura next to a grandmaster without being discovered, only a great grandmaster could think of it.
"Great King! Prime Minister Lu Buwei requests an audience!" At this moment, the guard's voice sounded outside the door again.
"Announce!"
The next moment, a loud and magnetic voice sounded,""Lao Ai, don't be rude to His Majesty!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall man in a white brocade robe walked in. With a glance, his expression turned from indifferent to shocked.
In his imagination, Lao Ai should be saying something to Ying Zheng with an arrogant look on his face. But, contrary to his expectations, Lao Ai was lying on the ground like a dead dog.
He was the one who recommended Lao Ai to Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, and his original purpose was to consolidate his position. However, he did not expect that Lao Ai would rely on the Empress Dowager's favor to expand his influence. From the very beginning, Lao Ai had obeyed him, but now, he had gone against him in every way.
Lu Buwei had long known that Lao Ai had announced that he was going to be conferred the title of Marquis, and the purpose of entering the palace this time was to stop it.
Although the possibility of him becoming a marquis wasn't high, what if?
He was going against him everywhere without being conferred the title of Marquis Changxin, so what if he was conferred the title of Marquis?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Buwei bowed and said,""Lu Buwei greets Your Majesty."
"Zhongfu is here."
" Yes." Ying Zheng nodded lightly." I think you know him, right?"”
Lu Buwei had helped Ying Zheng's father to become King Zhuang Xiang of Qin, and later supported Ying Zheng to succeed the throne. He had made great contributions. Although his power was overwhelming, unlike Lao Ai, he had never shown any disrespect to Ying Zheng on the surface. Therefore, there was nothing that could be used against him.
" Of course I know him," Lu Buwei replied." He is Lao Ai."”
With his hands clasped behind his back, Ying Zheng glanced at Lao Ai indifferently and said,""This person has neither an official position nor a noble title. How could he barge into the palace without any scruples? As the Prime Minister, you can't absolve yourself of the blame.”
Lu Buwei replied without hesitation," This is my negligence. I will be punished with ten years of my salary. Fortunately, this person did not offend Your Majesty. Otherwise, I will not be able to forgive him even if I die."”
" Then, I'll leave this man to you," Ying Zheng said casually." According to the Qin law, three clans shall be exterminated, and he shall be torn apart by a chariot and die!"”
"I know, Zhongfu, you won't disappoint me. Oh right, help me bury those two guards.”
Hearing Ying Zheng's meaningful words, Lu Buwei felt a chill run down his spine as he lowered his head slightly and said,""I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."
The two guards were the ones he had arranged for outside the bedroom.
"Alright, Zhongfu, go deal with this matter.”
Ying Zheng looked straight at Lu Buwei. In Ying Zheng's memory, he had a lot of resentment towards Lu Buwei. After all, from his father to himself, Lu Buwei had contributed a lot when he ascended the throne. Although he had monopolized the government, the entire Qin State was well governed.
However, when it came to Ying Zheng, he would never allow a powerful minister to appear. The supreme power must be in his own hands.
"I will take my leave."
Lu Buwei slowly took three steps back, turned around, and walked out of the room. The tensed muscles in his body relaxed.
"Two martial grandmasters!"
Lu Buwei walked out of the bedroom and saw the glaring sunlight. He narrowed his eyes, feeling bewildered.
He was also a martial grandmaster. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to subdue those unruly assassins from the Network.
As soon as he entered the chamber, he was shocked to see Lao Ai, who looked like a dead dog, and also felt two piercing gazes. From the beginning to the end, he did not look at the owner of those two gazes, but he could clearly feel the pressure that those two people gave him.
They were two martial grandmasters who were definitely not weaker than him. They were even stronger than him.
The net originated from Qin country and spread throughout the six countries. Its intelligence ability was also second to none.
It was rumored that if Lu Buwei wanted to know the color of the underpants worn by the King of Wei or Zhao, the information would be placed on his desk the next day.
One could imagine how large an organization the Network was.
Almost all the grandmasters and great grandmasters in the world were recorded in the network.
The auras of those two martial grandmasters were definitely not recorded in the net.
Although the sun was shining on him, Lu Buwei felt a chill run down his spine."It's impossible for two martial grandmasters to jump out from the cracks of a rock. They definitely have a foundation, but these two martial grandmasters are hiding so deeply.”
"Why did you stop hiding? Did Ying Zheng feel that his wings had hardened, and that he no longer needed to continue hiding?”
Lu Buwei stood outside the palace for a few seconds. He glanced at the Myriad Dragon City outside the palace and quickened his pace.
The Xianyang Palace that he had been familiar with in the past had become so unfamiliar to Lu Buwei. Although it was under the blazing sun, Lu Buwei somehow felt that there were people watching his every move from every corner. The entire Xianyang Palace seemed to have become a wild beast that could devour everything.
Thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Another Grandmaster."
"Is it because of the mistake in the intelligence network, or is it because Ying Zheng has hidden himself too deeply?”
Lu Buwei had never felt so depressed before. The two Great Grandmasters were staring at him so brazenly. He knew very well that it was both a warning and a shock, representing Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction with him.
There were two Grandmasters in the Black Ice Platform and one in the Shadow Secret Guard. These three were recorded in the network. In addition, there was one Grandmaster outside the bedroom and two Grandmasters in the bedroom.
Ying Zheng already had four grandmasters and two great grandmasters by his side, and these two great grandmasters were definitely not inferior to his own great grandmasters. This was already a very powerful force.
As a schemer, Lu Buwei knew that not all of them had been exposed. He had no idea how many grandmasters and martial grandmasters were hiding in the dark.
"Could he be a bad person left behind by the late Wang Xiaogong?”
There were too few people who knew about the bad guys, but Lu Buwei had heard of this organization since he was in charge of the network, but that was all he knew.
The members were all confused about this organization's structure. They only knew that it was an organization that protected Great Qin's royal family.
"Perhaps, it's time for me to make a decision."
After leaving Xianyang Palace, Lu Buwei quickly walked toward his residence and began to gather the core members of the Network.
…………
In the Qin Palace, Ying Zheng looked at Dugu Qiubai and said with a smile,""Dugu Qiubai, I want you to do something.”
"Please instruct me, Your Majesty." Dugu Qiubai bowed respectfully.”
" Go," Ying Zheng muttered to himself." Bring Gongshu Chou of the Gongshu Family to me. Tell him that I can give him all the glory and wealth he wants."”
