Just as the First Emperor Ying Zheng was about to walk down the stairs and talk to Zhang Ye personally, his face was filled with enthusiasm.
A discordant voice interrupted Ying Zheng's actions.
"Your Majesty, don't be deceived!"
It was Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Zhang Ye. His eyes were cold and filled with anger.
Especially when he saw how Ying Zheng's attitude towards Zhang Ye had suddenly changed into such respect, it aroused the jealousy in Zhao Gao's heart.
How many years had he spent to climb to his current position?
How many years had he served Ying Zheng?
Only then could he become the most popular person in the other party's eyes.
All the hardships he had suffered over the years seemed to have completely erupted at this moment. Zhao Gao's jealousy towards Zhang Ye could no longer be concealed. He was like a ferocious wolf, wishing he could kill Zhang Ye as soon as possible.
He had to work hard for more than ten years to become a popular person in Ying Zheng's eyes, so what right did this young boy have?!
"Your Majesty, don't be fooled by this kid's trick.”
"This is just a relatively high-level cantrip. How can it be called an immortal technique? As for the words of the immortal master, it was even more exaggerated. How could he be called an immortal master?”
"A charlatan who has mastered a few tricks dares to impersonate an immortal master? Pretending to be an immortal? Ridiculous!"
"There's no such thing as a spell that can survive even after chopping off a head in this world. Your Majesty, please give me some time. I will definitely find the flaw in this trick and expose its mystery.”
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth, feeling indignant.
He still did not believe that this was a real beheading incident.
He still firmly believed that all of this was just a trick.
It was just a smokescreen.
Hearing Zhao Gao's voice, Ying Zheng was slightly hesitant. He frowned and fell into deep thought.
All the officials discussed.
It seemed that many of them had begun to believe Zhao Gao's words.
After all.
Some people could still live well after cutting off their heads and could even speak. This kind of thing was really too difficult for them to accept.
In comparison, they were more inclined to Zhao Gao's opinion.
This was just a trick.
The reason why he couldn't find any flaws was purely because this cantrip's method was more brilliant.
That was all.
"Just a trick?"
Fu Su observed Zhang Ye's body from a close distance and shook his head secretly, expressing deep doubts about Zhao Gao's speculation.
If this was really a cantrip, then this cantrip was too perfect.
It was simply flawless!
There were no flaws!
"Brat, don't think that you can fool the eyes of all the officials with this trick!”
Zhao Gao walked towards Zhang Ye step by step, sneering." I've seen too many tricks like yours over the years. There are quite a few charlatans who can perform similar tricks in the net under my command.”
"I have to remind you."
"As far as I know, as long as it's a cantrip, there's bound to be a huge flaw in it. I believe that I will be able to find the flaw in your cantrip.”
"Kid, just you wait!"
"How dare you use magic tricks to deceive the people in front of His Majesty? Do you really think that all the civil and military officials in the court are ignorant fools? Do you know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?”
Looking at Zhao Gao's confident face, even Ying Zheng seemed a little hesitant.
Could it be…
Have I really been deceived?
Was this really just a trick?
Was I deceived by a smokescreen?
After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng did not interrupt Zhao Gao without permission, and allowed Zhao Gao to do as he pleased.
He also wanted to take a look.
Was the truth as Zhao Gao said?
Was all of this just a brilliant trick?
If it was really just a cantrip, then he had been looking forward to it for nothing.
In the surroundings.
The officials stared at Zhao Gao in bewilderment, then looked at Zhang Ye, who remained silent. They couldn't help but follow Zhao Gao's train of thought and start to doubt him.
"Maybe it really is just a trick?"
"After all, if it's not a cantrip, it's really hard to explain. How could a person still be alive and able to speak after being beheaded?”
"Did you guys notice? After he was beheaded, not a single drop of blood flowed from his body. So, this must be a trick, right?”
"Most likely."
"I was almost deceived by this kid. However, it had to be said that this trick was really brilliant. It actually made all the civil and military officials unable to find a single flaw. Even His Majesty believed him and treated him as an immortal master.”
“……”
There was a lot of discussion.
Li Si was the same as Fu Su. He did not say a word and did not change his opinion because of Zhao Gao's words.
At this moment.
Zhao Gao had already walked to Zhang Ye's side.
He was beaming with joy as if victory was in his grasp."The Network once recruited a few martial arts practitioners to make a living by performing magic tricks. In the eyes of outsiders, their cantrips were as mysterious as immortal techniques. For example, they could easily conjure animals out of thin air. They could even transform into a living person from a wooden box.”
"It's understandable that people in the outside world mistake them for immortals.”
"But that's because outsiders can't see through their tricks. If the flaws of the tricks were made public, the tricks they relied on for survival would become unorthodox tricks that everyone could learn. And they would be reduced to clowns.”
He paused.
Zhao Gao looked deeply at Zhang Ye and continued," Kid, although I don't know where you came from. However, I have to praise you. The cantrip you performed today really surprised me.”
"However, you shouldn't have displayed this trick in the palace and tried to deceive the First Emperor with it.”
"In my opinion, a trick like yours will be full of loopholes if you observe it carefully.”
"Today."
"I will personally unveil the mystery of your magic trick in front of the First Emperor and all the officials in the court! I'll make sure your fake tricks are exposed!"
"Brat, I've seen through everything about you.”
Zhao Gao laughed out loud." If I wasn't here today, I think you could have used this trick to deceive all the officials and even the First Emperor. From there, he would become a Mage who represented Great Qin to pray to the heavens and receive the respect of tens of thousands of people.”
"I told you…"
"Any cantrip must have a flaw!”
Zhao Gao grabbed Zhang Ye's collar and said coldly," If I'm not wrong, the head in your hand should have been forged by you using some kind of trick. And your real head is hidden under your clothes!”
After saying that.
Zhao Gao tore off Zhang Ye's shirt without hesitation.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Ying Zheng as if he was asking for credit, and said confidently,""Your Majesty, please take a look. I have unveiled the mystery of this magic trick for you. In fact, the so-called magic trick was just a smokescreen, an unorthodox method used to deceive the people of the outside world.”
"I have to say that this person's magic is very brilliant, but unfortunately, he met my pair of fiery eyes.”
However…
The praise from Ying Zheng that he had imagined did not come.
On the contrary, under Zhao Gao's gaze, Ying Zheng's eyes became even more shocked.
The atmosphere in the entire Xianyang Palace became increasingly silent.
All the officials looked over and saw Zhang Ye, whose shirt had been ripped off by Zhao Gao, revealing his muscular upper body. His neck and head were empty.
gurgle ~
All the officials present swallowed their saliva, and their hearts were even more shocked.
Fu Su and Li Si were shocked.
At the same time.
Zhang Ye slowly raised his right arm and gently stroked his empty neck. A pair of pitch-black eyes on the head that was held in his left hand turned around and looked at Zhao Gao. A mocking smile gradually appeared on his face.
He opened his mouth.
"So…"
"Have you found the flaw in my cantrip?”
The voice fell.
Everyone was silent.
Zhao Gao's expression changed drastically, and his throat became dry.
He turned his head stiffly and looked at Zhang Ye's muscular upper body, which had lost its head. An unprecedented fear instantly surged into his heart.
"This…"
" How is this possible?!"
Zhao Gao completely lost his composure.
