When people were in Qin Dynasty, they changed the world by swiping entries

In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng held a banquet in honor of Bai Yuan. He did not bring any civil or military officials with him, but entertained Bai Yuan alone to show his favor.

The food for the dinner was all ordered by Ying Zheng from Zilanxuan, and someone specially delivered it to ensure that it would still be piping hot when it was delivered to the palace.

Apart from some maids, eunuchs and dancers responsible for the entertainment, there were only two people in the palace, Ying Zheng and Bai Yuan.

But in Bai Yuan's perception, there are still many auras hidden in the dark.

He judged almost instantly that this was Ying Zheng's personal bodyguard, but he didn't take it to heart.

It was Gai Nie who made Bai Yuan a little concerned.

During this period of time, Gai Nie seemed to have disappeared from the world. Bai Yuan didn't even see him around Ying Zheng, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Bai Yuan asked curiously.

"It seems like you haven't seen Gai Nie during this time?"

"Gai Nie has returned to Guigu. It seems that his master Guiguzi has some mission for him."

When Ying Zheng mentioned Gui Guzi, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

That day Guiguzi personally visited Zhangtai Palace and took Gai Nie away.

This was the first time he had seen such a master. He seemed to be an ordinary person. But how could an ordinary person freely enter and exit his heavily guarded Zhangtai Palace without alerting the palace guards?

Guiguzi's strength has obviously reached the level of returning to nature, and his aura is completely restrained.

If such a master wants to assassinate the king of a country, I am afraid that no place in the world can be called absolutely safe.

So even if Guiguzi didn't show any hostility towards Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng was still extremely afraid of him.

When he is angry, the princes are afraid; when he lives in peace, the world is extinguished.

At first, Ying Zheng thought this was just a description of how the Guigu disciples' strategies could influence the decisions of the princes and affect the situation in the world.

But after meeting Gui Guzi himself, Ying Zheng discovered that this was also a description of Gui Guzi's own strength.

Unless a master of this level is restrained by a master of the same level, even among thousands of armies, it cannot be called safe.

Facing Gui Guzi, even the secret guards that Ying Zheng devoted a lot of resources to cultivate could not bring him a sufficient sense of security.

This also makes Ying Zheng value his allies even more.

Gui Guzi was obviously a master who had reached the realm of unity between man and nature, and there was no one on the Qin side who could compete with him.

But Taoism and Yin-Yang do.

What Ying Zheng knew alone was that Bei Mingzi of the Taoist family and Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin and Yang family were both long-established peerless masters. They were as famous as Guiguzi and could definitely compete with them.

Bai Yuan's strength is also unfathomable. At least Gai Nie has mentioned more than once that he is no match for Bai Yuan.

Ying Zheng still remembers that time when Bai Yuan fought against Zhen Gang and Duan Shui of the Six Sword Slaves, the sword he used was like a god coming down from heaven.

Also, Gai Nie and Bai Yuan "discussed" before, and finally came back with two panda eyes.

With all these factors, in Ying Zheng's heart, even if Bai Yuan is not as good as Gui Guzi and others, he is not far behind.

Of course, Ying Zheng only regarded Gui Guzi as an imaginary enemy and did not really want to be his enemy.

When Bai Yuan heard that Gai Nie had left with Gui Guzi, he couldn't help but be curious.

But he noticed the fear in Ying Zheng's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and did not ask. On the surface, he remained calm and dropped the topic casually.

Next, they exchanged glasses of wine, pushed glasses and exchanged glasses. After the meal, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.

The moonlight was bright, and Bai Yuan walked out of the palace door with a hint of drunkenness. When the cold wind blew, Bai Yuan's drunkenness dissipated. He breathed softly and couldn't help laughing while looking at the bright moon in the sky.

At this time, he saw a soldier running towards the palace in a hurry and glanced curiously.

From a distance, Bai Yuan heard the soldiers and the imperial guards guarding the palace gate say:

"I have something important to report to the king! Let him go quickly!"

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows but did not continue to pay attention.

After leaving Xianyang for nearly half a month, Bai Yuan also missed Yan Fei and others a little, and felt like returning home.

At this moment, Ning Yan and the others must be waiting eagerly at home, and they all know that Bai Yuan will be back today.

It was getting late now, and Bai Yuan didn't want them to wait any longer.

As soon as Bai Yuan left Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng met the soldiers who had just come to report intelligence.

The soldier looked a little panicked and knelt before His Highness, trembling with fear.

Ying Zheng waved his hand impatiently.

Because he drank some wine at night, he was looking slightly drunk at the moment. He originally planned to go to bed early, but he was disturbed and his mood was not very good.

"What's so important at this late hour?"

"Report to the King... Fan Yuqi... he committed suicide in prison!"

The soldier said with some stuttering.

"What did you say!"

The drunkenness in Ying Zheng's eyes immediately disappeared and he stood up suddenly.

"Say it again? Are you sure he committed suicide?"

Ying Zheng suppressed his anger at this moment, clenched his fists, and his voice was extremely cold.

How could such a coincidence happen? Fan Yuqi didn't commit suicide sooner or later, but he committed suicide as soon as he was imprisoned and faced with interrogation?

Thinking of the previous series of things, even if he thought about it with his buttocks, Ying Zheng knew that there must be something wrong.

But the soldier nodded shakily.

"Your Majesty, I confirm that I personally watched Fan Yuqi suddenly hit the wall after being put into the prison, and he died after hitting the wall."

When Ying Zheng heard this explanation, his face was still very ugly.

Originally, he hoped to find out the forces behind him through Fan Yuqi.

Now that Fan Yuqi has died, the clues have been cut off, and it will not be so easy to find out the forces behind him.

Ying Zheng became restless at the thought of such unstable factors still existing in the Great Qin court.

Once Cheng Xiu rebelled, he lost a general like Meng Ao, who had made countless contributions to the Qin Dynasty's siege of cities and territories.

If we come here a few more times, how many generals in the Qin Dynasty will be brave enough?

Ying Zheng looked gloomy and waved his hand, asking the soldiers to go down first.

After the soldier left, Ying Zheng looked at the empty hall and called out:

"Where is the Shadow Guard?"

A commander of the Shadow Guards immediately emerged from the darkness, kneeling on His Highness and waiting for orders.

"Thoroughly investigate all the people who have had contact with Fan Yuqi, especially those who had contact with him before he was imprisoned. We would rather kill him by mistake than let him go."

"promise!"

As the commander of the Shadow Guard left, Ying Zheng sat back on the throne, holding his forehead, frowning, but his eyes were bright.

Although he sent out secret guards to investigate the matter thoroughly, Ying Zheng didn't have much hope in finding out anything.

The power behind Fan Yuqi is not weak, but the key is that he hides it deeply. Judging from the current situation, the other party's actions are flawless, and they have not been able to get a clue.

In this case, letting the Shadow Guard investigate the case is just for psychological comfort and to go through the process.

In fact, Ying Zheng had already thought about it. Some things can be inferred even without evidence.

On the other side, as soon as Bai Yuan returned to the house, he was surrounded by women, checking this and that.

"I'm fine, don't you still believe in my abilities?"

"But just catching two people is not a piece of cake for me?"

Bai Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he comforted the girls.

To say that Duan Murong and Nong Yu are so worried about him, they may not have a clear understanding of their own strength, so Bai Yuan can understand.

But Ning Yan and Jimo Huaxue just wanted to take advantage of themselves.

But Xiaomeng, a girl, simply came over to join in the fun, and even said in a flattering way: "I'm worried that senior brother, you have some good points and two shortcomings, and you won't be able to teach me swordsmanship in the future."

Bai Yuan rolled his eyes.

After some joking, Concubine Yan got down to business.

"We heard you were attacked last night, what was the situation?"

Bai Yuan shook his head slightly: "They are all dead soldiers. The only thing I know is that this person also has a certain influence in the army. When these people attacked us, they used the standard arrows specially used by the Qin army. If there is no certain power in the army, There is no way we can get so many arrows with our power.”

When Concubine Yan and others heard this, they couldn't help but think deeply.

Bai Yuan clenched his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Actually, I have some thoughts on this matter. The person behind the scenes is probably a vested interest in this matter."

"Vested interests?"

All the girls looked puzzled.

Bai Yuan cleared his throat and explained:

"Since Lu Buwei resigned, the forces in the Great Qin court are now divided into three parts. One is the Great Qin clan headed by Qin King Ying Zheng and foreign guests. They all obey Ying Zheng's will and are completely on Ying Zheng's side. , so it is unlikely that he will do anything that harms the interests of Great Qin."

"The second force is the Korean force headed by the Queen Mother Xia. Although the Korean force did have some criticisms about Ying Zheng's ascension to the throne, they have been peaceful and abiding by the late king's will in these years, and there has been no trespassing behavior. , and even the Queen Mother Xia asked Cheng Yu to help Da Qin come to South Korea, which is a hundred miles away."

"The third force is the Chu force headed by the Queen Mother Huayang, which is also the most powerful force in the Qin Dynasty. As the son of the Chu State, Mi Qi was not only granted the title of Lord Changping, but also became the prime minister. It can be said that he Standing at the pinnacle of power in the Qin Dynasty."

The girls listened to Bai Yuan's explanation, thought about it carefully, and then understood what Bai Yuan meant.

"You're saying that this time Cheng Xi suddenly rebelled, maybe the Chu faction was behind it?"

"That's right!"

Bai Yuan nodded.

Thinking of Lord Changping's betrayal of Qin for the sake of Chu, Bai Yuan became even more suspicious that the Chu faction was behind the matter, or to be more direct, it was Lord Changping's fault.

Even if he has no idea of ​​betraying Qin yet, as the leader of the Chu forces in the court, Lord Changping is also highly suspicious.

"What are you going to do?"

"What else can we do? This matter should naturally be left to Ying Zheng to handle. We can think of this, but Ying Zheng has no reason to realize it."

Bai Yuan spread his hands, looking a little helpless.

Now that he has done enough things, he still won't get involved in dealing with the Chu faction.

And he also believed that even if Ying Zheng found something, he probably wouldn't do anything big.

After all, many people have already been implicated because of the Chengyu incident. If the Chu faction is involved again, more than half of the officials in the Great Qin court will be involved. What will happen then?

Arrest them all?

So how does this court still operate?

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Ying Zheng will only take measures slowly, and it is impossible to use any thunderous means to clean up the court.

That might give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of it and delay Qin's unification of the world again. That's not what Ying Zheng wants to see.

At this time, a flying pigeon fluttered its wings and fell from the sky, landing on Bai Yuan's shoulder.

Bai Yuan was a little surprised and took out a secret letter from its lap.

"Fan Yuqi is dead!"

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment when he saw the contents of the letter.

He personally escorted Fan Yuqi to Xianyang. He was fine before the dinner. Unexpectedly, he committed suicide in prison not long after that.

Originally, Bai Yuan thought that Fan Yuqi would be touched by what happened last night and might reveal information about the person behind it during interrogation.

Now it seems that Fan Yuqi may also be a dead soldier, but he just didn't realize it before.

If Fan Yuqi was a soldier arranged to die by Chang Pingjun, then many things would make sense.

According to the original plot, Fan Yuqi fled to Yan State, was taken in by Yan Dan, and later committed suicide because of Yan Dan's plan to assassinate Qin.

And based on Bai Yuan's understanding of Fan Yuqi during this period, this guy is definitely not someone who will take revenge at all costs for his family.

In his eyes, family is not that important at all, otherwise he would not risk being attacked by the Yi tribe to rebel.

Therefore, Bai Yuan is more likely to have the influence of Lord Changping.

After all, the peasant family Tian Guang contributed to the assassination of Qin, and the peasant family later had a close relationship with Lord Changping, so it can basically be said that Lord Changping participated in this plan.

However, it is Bai Yuan's speculation that Fan Yuqi is a dead soldier, and there is no evidence.

Bai Yuan casually burned the secret letter and released the dove.

No matter what, Fan Yuqi's death means that the case of Chenglong's rebellion is almost over.

Ying Zheng will definitely try to eliminate the impact of this incident and then secretly investigate the truth.

Bai Yuan would have chosen this way.

Bai Yuan sighed about the troubled times and then put the matter behind him.

After meeting his beautiful wives again, Bai Yuan didn't want to think about these conspiracies. He just wanted to spend the night with Concubine Yan and others.

After a night of absurdity.

Early the next morning, Bai Yuan was still hugging Luna and lying on the bed to rest, when he was woken up by the maid outside.

"Sir, someone is coming from the palace."

Bai Yuan yawned and stretched, a little dissatisfied with someone disturbing his rest.

But he still asked the maid to come in to help him get up and get dressed, wash up and prepare to meet the people in the palace.

Because Luna was so tired, she didn't get up and slept in the room for a while longer.

Bai Yuan came to the front hall and saw that the person who came was an eunuch beside Ying Zheng, and there were many people following him, carrying some boxes, and he couldn't help but be curious.

Seeing the rightful owner coming, the eunuch quickly took a copy of the king's order.

"Master, I am here to announce the order under the orders of the king."

Bai Yuan nodded, guessing what was going on.

"Tianzong Baiyuan traveled thousands of miles to capture the traitors Cheng Xi and Fan Yuqi. He shared the worries of the few and made great achievements. He was specially awarded a thousand catties of gold, a hundred pieces of silk, and ten thousand households in the city." (End of this chapter)
