Just like the prayers of the tens of millions of people in Xianyang City, Xianyang, which had not received a single rain for two months, finally received a rain.
Although it was only drizzling, it was a good sign.
The sky above Xianyang City was still gloomy.
Dark clouds covered the land.
It wasn't noon yet, so logically speaking, it should be the scorching sun in the sky. However, the layers of folded dark clouds blocked the sun hanging in the sky, preventing the sunlight from completely penetrating the dark clouds and shining on this world.
Therefore, he had no choice.
The streets and alleys of Xianyang City were covered in a light drizzle. The light here was very thin, and the dark environment made the atmosphere in Xianyang City a little depressing.
The drizzle could not stop the peddlers on both sides of the streets of Xianyang City. They would not close their businesses until the heavy rain arrived.
This was a group of respectable workers.
Seeing the rain gradually increase, most of the vendors began to quickly close their stalls to avoid being at a loss when the heavy rain really came later.
The streets were filled with luxurious carriages, and they seemed very relaxed. In sharp contrast, the commoners on both sides of the street were running wildly.
"It's raining! It's raining!"
The people of Xianyang cheered.
The weather today did not disappoint them. The long-awaited rain had finally arrived. Moreover, looking at the dark clouds that had gathered above their heads, this goose feather drizzle was clearly just the beginning.
As expected…
The downpour came as it pleased.
It only took half a quarter of an hour for the light rain to turn into a downpour.
Bean-sized water droplets poured down from the sky.
Crash!
The rain washed the muddy ground and smashed onto the classical eaves on both sides of the street. A crisp and pleasant sound came from it. It was especially refreshing to hear such a sound in this hot season.
With the arrival of the heavy rain, almost all the vendors on the street closed their stalls. Those who bought enough time to close their stalls and return home could only helplessly hide under the eaves on both sides of the street to temporarily shelter from the rain.
"This rain might not stop for a while.”
Seeing the rain getting heavier, the peddler who didn't have time to go home looked worried.
The heavy rain poured down, causing the originally hot temperature to plummet. The breeze that blew in the air swept the heavy rain away, making people feel refreshed and refreshed. The air seemed to have become fresh.
It had been a long time since a heavy rain…
Xianyang City seemed to have been reborn.
Xianyang, which was originally gloomy, was full of vitality.
However…
The arrival of this heavy downpour made the First Emperor Ying Zheng, who was in Xianyang Palace, feel slightly uneasy.
Standing by the window, Ying Zheng's brows were tightly knitted as he looked at the dark clouds gathering in the sky, watched the heavy rain splashing on the distant eaves, and listened to the pleasant sound of the rain washing the eaves.
If it were any other time, and it was only after two months that a heavy rain finally fell, Ying Zheng would naturally enjoy the wonderful music brought by this heavy rain with great joy.
But the problem was…
Every time Ying Zheng thought about it, it would be the grand day of the national sacrifice to heaven tomorrow. Coincidentally, there was a heavy rain today. This naturally made him feel very uneasy.
No accidents could happen on this grand day where the entire nation was worshipping the heavens. This would greatly affect Great Qin's reputation and his reputation as the ruler of the Great Qin Empire.
Whether the day of the worship ceremony was delayed, or something unexpected happened during the process of the worship ceremony, it was not a consequence that Ying Zheng could bear.
Today's heavy rain made Ying Zheng deeply worried.
It was precisely because he placed too much importance on tomorrow's worship that he did not want to see any accidents happen.
Without a doubt…
The heavy rain today was perhaps the biggest unstable factor.
If the rain continued until tomorrow, then the worship ceremony would be greatly affected. It was even very likely that the day of praying to the heavens would be postponed.
This was definitely not the situation that Ying Zheng wanted to see.
"Why is this rain so coincidental?”
"Could it be…"
"Did I really choose the wrong day to worship the heavens?”
Ying Zheng couldn't help but have this self-doubting thought.
Although the rain might not last until tomorrow, he still felt uneasy.
He was afraid that the rain would continue until tomorrow.
That would be troublesome.
The date of the Heaven Worship Ceremony had been set several days ago, and the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had announced it to the world personally, so that everyone in the world would know when it was.
If he changed his mind at this moment…
That would definitely cause an unprecedented heavy blow to Ying Zheng's dignity.
As the saying went.
Don't joke.
If the ruler of a country could even change the day of worship, what prestige would there be?
Therefore…
The day of worship must not be changed!
There must not be any mistakes!
"Zhang Han…"
"Do you think this rain will continue until tomorrow? And affect tomorrow's worship ceremony?"
Ying Zheng stood by the window of Xianyang Palace and asked.
It looked like a person was talking to himself, but it was not the case.
As soon as Ying Zheng's voice fell.
From a dark corner of the palace, a thin middle-aged man in leather armor walked out. His eyes were full of vigor, and there was an inconspicuous scar on his face. His sharp eyes were like a sword that was about to be unsheathed.
On his back was a bronze sword.
There was also a short knife at his waist.
To be able to appear in Xianyang Palace and still carry weapons with him, it was obvious that this person's status was definitely extraordinary, and he was deeply trusted by First Emperor Ying Zheng.
This person was the leader of the Shadow Secret Guards, Zhang Han!
A subordinate who was deeply trusted by Ying Zheng.
As for the Shadow Secret Guards, they were an elite organization directly under Ying Zheng's command. It was similar to the Network under Zhao Gao, but it had far more power than the Network.
In the eyes of the officials,
The Shadow Secret Guards were countless times more terrifying than the net.
He had the privilege of acting first and reporting later.
Even the civil and military officials did not dare to provoke the Shadow Secret Guards. Once they provoked the Shadow Secret Guards, no one knew when they would be arrested and thrown into the imperial prison.
This was an organization that made all the civil and military officials tremble in fear!
Like maggots clinging to bones,
Like a shadow,
If you come personally!
This seemingly simple sentence summarized the core of the entire Shadow Secret Guard.
Seeing the Shadow Secret Guards…
It was as if he had seen the emperor himself!
The Shadow Secret Guards represented the third hand of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
No one dared to underestimate him.
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Han stopped right behind Ying Zheng.
He lowered his head slightly, cupped his fists, and said respectfully," I believe that this rain will not affect tomorrow's worship.”
"I hope so…"
Ying Zheng's brows were still tightly knitted, and he did not loosen them for a long time.
Obviously, the worry in his heart didn't disappear with Zhang Han's comforting words.
