Chapter 190 The Goddess Is Interested and the Canglong Appears

Ying Ziyi's car was driving slowly on the streets. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Xianyang City at the moment was the most prosperous city in the world.

Straight streets, square squares, wide corners, high eaves, everything is in order. Under the darkness of night, the entire Xianyang City dispersed the hustle and bustle of the day and became quiet and peaceful.

After the curfew, the only people who could walk on the streets were watchmen, patrolling guards, officials with authority to carry out emergency tasks, special people who had been ordered by the Qin Emperor, and people who were very special themselves.

Ying Ziyi can barely be considered the last two.

Driving at night like this, the prince's driving etiquette should be simple. Anyway, no one will watch if he is showing off at this time, so why are he pretending?

The car drove from the Prince's Mansion to the Imperial City, which only took a few minutes. The guard driving Ying Ziyi took out his waist badge and handed it to the guard guarding the outer gate of the Imperial City.

After the guard confirmed, he bowed and let him go.

After the chariot entered the outer gate, it slowly drove forward for a while and stopped in the square between the outer gate and the inner gate. There is a dedicated parking area above.

Ying Ziyi held a dark box in his hand. When he got off the carriage, the waiter who greeted him was already waiting.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the First Emperor is waiting for His Highness in the main palace."

The chamberlain who led the way said so. Ying Ziyi nodded and motioned for them to clear the way ahead.

Entered the inner door. This is the majestic and solemn main palace of Emperor Qin. It is where Emperor Qin handled government affairs and got close to officials. The moon was hanging high, and inside the Qin Palace, the lights were bright, illuminating the surroundings, and there were many guards around.

After stepping up the stairs, Ying Ziyi climbed onto the high platform. At this moment, the palace door was open, and Ying Ziyi could see from the outside that Emperor Qin was handling government affairs on top of the documents. Beside him was a chamberlain who specialized in measuring the weight of memorials. Every time Emperor Qin finished processing a memorial, the chamberlain would place the heavy bamboo slips on the meter. Once it exceeded one hundred and twenty kilograms, he would remind Emperor Qin that it was time to rest.

What is the most difficult errand in the Qin Palace? Ying Ziyi thought this was the one. Emperor Qin set this rule himself, but he seemed to not always follow it. The chamberlain around Emperor Qin must be even more careful. If he doesn't open his eyes to disturb Brother Zheng when Emperor Qin is dealing with complicated government affairs, the end will naturally be miserable.

As soon as Ying Ziyi walked into the hall, the chamberlain reminded him: "Your Majesty, the government affairs handled by Your Majesty today have reached 120 kilograms. It's time to rest."

Emperor Qin raised his head and happened to see Ying Ziyi. He raised his hand and motioned to the chamberlain to carry the memorial down.

"My son, I will meet my father."

Ten steps away from Emperor Qin, in front of a pool of clear water, Ying Ziyi paid homage.

"Yes." Emperor Qin nodded, "What is that in your hand?"

"About to present it to my father." Ying Ziyi handed the box in his hand to the chamberlain, who presented it to the imperial case.

Brother Zheng opened the box and frowned when he saw the three items inside.

"This is it?" He took out an item from the box. It was thin and light, but the appearance was a bit mottled and rough. "What's this?"

"Father, this is paper. The other two, one is called a brush and the other is called ink, are both used for writing."

Emperor Qin looked at these items and thought carefully. After a while, he said: "What a pity for this piece of paper. Is there any way to make its surface smoother?"

"The relevant technology is being improved by my subordinates."

"how much longer?"

"The specific time cannot be determined. It can be as short as a few years or as long as more than ten years."

"Silk is too expensive, and bamboo slips are too heavy. These things of yours may be able to change the world. Unfortunately, it takes too long." Emperor Qin said thoughtfully.

"Okay, put it away! Remember, don't take it out easily before the paper is formed. This matter must also be sealed, and relevant personnel must be under strict supervision."

"My son understands.

"You did a very good job in the expedition against Baiyue this time. Minyue, Ouyue, Xiou, and Nanyue have successively surrendered to our Great Qin. The remaining Luo Yue, under the combined efforts of Yi Xusong and Jie Jun, is useless even if you think about it. How much effort it took.”

"Thank you, Father."

"After Baiyue surrenders, a series of projects are ready for war. Farming, immigration, business, and city building are all complicated. It's rare that you can handle them in an orderly manner."

"It all depends on the reputation of my father and the fate of the soldiers."

After a few introductory remarks, Brother Zheng finally got to the point.

"That Han Xin, where did you find him?"

At this time, almost all the people in the palace had left, and even the masters who had been guarding Emperor Qin all evacuated one after another.

"When I was attacking Chu in the past, I passed by Huaiyin and met him by chance. I took him as a bodyguard." Ying Ziyi said.

"I have already read the battle report of his night attack on Jie Jun's 60,000-strong army. The precision and ruthlessness of Han Xing's troops were no less than those of a veteran who has led troops for a long time. But the important thing is that he is very young. I admire him At this time, are you still a puppet in Father Zhong’s hands?”

Ying Ziyi felt a chill in his heart. Father Zhong, the only person who can make Brother Zheng say this title is Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei.

According to legend, Brother Zheng was the illegitimate son of Lu Buwei. Rumors spread from when he was in Zhao State to after he ascended the throne. Even the original general Fan Yuqi fled Qin State because of this internal struggle.

However, it seems to Ying Ziyi that this rumor was probably spread by Emperor Qin's younger brother Cheng Jiao and his family in order to compete for the throne. As for whether Brother Zheng is Lu Buwei's illegitimate son. What is the truth, who knows?

"Father Zhong." Gently savoring this word that had not been spoken for a long time, Brother Zheng seemed to have stirred up a long-lost wave in his heart.

Ying Ziyi knew that Lu Buwei was a very special existence to Brother Zheng. Without Lu Buwei, Brother Zheng would not be what he is today, and there would not even be King Qin Zhuangxiang. But Brother Zheng was also the one who personally sent Lu Buwei to his death. What happened there is so far away that only a few people can know. Naturally, Ying Ziyi had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. It touched upon a sensitive topic, so naturally Ying Ziyi pretended to be an ostrich and didn't hear anything.

Fortunately, Brother Zheng quickly suppressed this emotion and looked at Ying Ziyi: "Such a sharp sword would not be as sharp as it is without being polished by a master craftsman. Do you know that Han Xin, Where did it come from?”

At present, hundreds of schools of thought and various schools of thought monopolize the entire educational field. It is absolutely impossible for a person from a commoner background to reach such a level without more or less support from a certain faction behind him. But other than that, the money spent just to study each piece of the classics of various scholars is not something that an ordinary family can afford. Not to mention, Brother Zheng has investigated and found that Han Xin is just an orphan.

There really was nothing I could hide from Brother Zheng, but Ying Ziyi didn't intend to tell the truth. "What Han Xin has learned combines the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought. In today's world, there are only a few people who can reach this level. I guess that Han Xin's master is already among these few people."

"The way he uses his troops reminds me of a person. Wei Liaozi."

"Lord Wei Liao?" Ying Ziyi pretended not to know and said in surprise.

Emperor Qin didn't care about Ying Ziyi's attitude, but he chuckled: "Interesting, now that the war in the world has been extinguished. Wei Liaozi polished such a sharp long sword in secret, it's really interesting."

Ying Ziyi continued to act like an ostrich and ignored Brother Zheng's soliloquy.

"Do you know? What would I do if I got a talent like Han Xin?"

"My son, you don't know?"

"I will kill him!"

"....!"

Brother Zheng's answer really shocked Ying Ziyi, but he didn't hesitate to ask Brother Zheng why.

"So what does the emperor want to do with Han Xin now?"

Brother Zheng has always been a person who can do things but doesn't talk. And now that he has spoken, he naturally has no intention of taking action again. "I intend to leave it to you. As for whether to kill or use it later, I will deal with it with you."

"My dear father, thank you." Ying Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Remember, a sword that is too sharp will be convenient when using it to fight the enemy, but you must also be careful that one day the sword will hurt you."

"My son, please remember your father's teachings."

"Okay, let's put Han Xin's matter aside. Now let's talk about business!"

There is actually something serious going on. Ying Ziyi thought that Han Xin could retreat after saying this, but he didn't expect Brother Zheng to bring up another issue.

"Your marriage."

Ying Ziyi suddenly remembered his marriage to Li Yu, the daughter of Prime Minister Li Si. After the conquest of Baiyue, he was troubled by a series of things, and he completely forgot about them.

"Father, this matter can be put on hold."

"Why?" Emperor Qin asked curiously.

Could it be that my brother would say that he would escape from Xianyang City soon?

"Firstly, I am still young, and secondly, I once said that I would search for the elixir of immortality for my father. Now this matter has a little more clues." Ying Ziyi couldn't think of a good reason, so he could only use this as a excuse.

Who knew Brother Zheng had heard this? His expression changed drastically and he asked, "What kind of news is it?"

"It's about the etiquette of visiting the fairy mountain in the mirage. It is said that it is stored in Hedong County. I plan to go there in person later. The mirage is about to be completed, and I plan to go to Songhai after going to Hedong. Therefore, for the wedding, Let’s postpone it for a while.”

"Okay!" Emperor Qin nodded and said.

...

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

In the dark and quiet room, there was not a trace of candlelight, only a crescent moon in the sky, shining down through the window, shining on the table in front of Ying Ziyi.

At this moment, there was only a golden copper box placed on the desk where Ying Ziyi was sitting. A man in black was kneeling on one knee, right behind the desk.

"Has the news gotten out?"

"The news of Canglong's appearance has probably spread throughout the world by now."

"Very good." Ying Ziyi nodded and picked up the golden square box on the desk. "Canglong Qisu, this secret concerning the world has been passed down for thousands of years since the Zhou Dynasty, but no one knows the answer to this secret?"

Ying Ziyi smiled and threw the golden copper box in front of him to the man in black.

"Sending this thing to Wei, I believe that all the scholars and the remaining tribes from the six countries will be interested in this thing?"

"I understand." The man in black took the yellow copper box and jumped out of the room in two steps, his figure blending into the dark night.

"Your Highness, this trick of throwing stones to ask for direction is very useful!"

In the dark night, a figure with misty and graceful curves walked into Ying Ziyi's quiet room and appeared in Ying Ziyi's sight.

"Are you back, Concubine Yan?"

"Yes!"

In the quiet room, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, needless to say.

...

Taoist sect, Lingyun Valley.

In the leader's bamboo house, Xiaoyaozi sat cross-legged.

In front of him, two female disciples were kneeling.

Forget about worries and tricks.

"Master, I wonder why you called us here?"

Xiaoyaozi opened his eyes, looked at the two of them, and said, "Wangqiao, I received a letter from your home. Your parents miss you very much. So I plan to let you go home."

Listening to Xiaoyaozi talking about his parents, Wangqiao felt a surge of longing in his heart. When I heard that I could go home, Wang Qiao felt happy. But when she raised her head to look at Wangyou, she found that there was a trace of sadness unconsciously on his pretty face.

Wangqiao then remembered that Wangyou's parents had passed away. Therefore, she suppressed her smile and thanked Xiaoyaozi: "Thank you, Master Master."

Xiaoyaozi nodded and looked at Wangyou: "This time, please accompany Wangqiao down the mountain!"

Wangyou looked at Xiaoyaozi with some confusion, but heard the other person continue: "This time, I have another task that you need to complete."

"But it depends on the orders of the head master (uncle)."

"There are rumors in the world that there is a blue dragon appearing in the land of Wei. I suspect that there is an instigator behind this incident. Therefore, I need you to go and investigate."

"Yes! Master."

"Master, there is one more thing." Wangqiao asked at this time.

"What?"

"Junior Brother Wangqing, there has been no news from him these days. Although I know that Junior Brother Wangqing is performing a top-secret mission, I still want to know if he is well recently?"

When Wangqiao said this, Wangyou also looked at Xiaoyaozi, seeming to be very concerned about Wangqing's whereabouts.

Xiaoyaozi sighed and said: "Back then, Wangqing and Xiaoling from the Taoist Tianzong sneaked into the Yinyang family to carry out the mission."

"Yin Yang family?" The two girls were shocked and looked at each other.

"But later, the whereabouts of the two of them were exposed. Wang Qing escaped from the Yin Yang Family, but was chased into the Qinling Mountains by the Yin Yang Family. After that, there was no trace anymore, and his life and death are unknown to this day."

Hearing this, Wangqiao's heart seemed to be gripped by something, and he felt very depressed.

"I also went to investigate afterwards, but I couldn't find any trace. Whether life or death is forgotten, perhaps we can only leave it to fate."

"Is that so?"

Wangyou said softly. She also had mixed feelings in her heart at this moment. Wangyou said goodbye to Xiaoyaozi, pulled Wangqiao and walked out of the bamboo house.
