Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty!

Chapter 10 Gan Luo is dead, and now I am just a star soul
Xianyang, Xiangguo Mansion.

"In the old capital of Yongcheng, three days ago, Changxin Hou Lao Ai began to blockade the city, reorganize the armaments, and lead the troops to Xianyang."

"Yongcheng is less than three hundred miles away from Xianyang. Within a day, the army can reach Xianyang."

"In addition, at the border with Wu Sui, the veteran general Wang Jue said that he was ordered by the Queen Mother to lead [-] Qin cavalry, traveling under the stars and at night, straight to Xianyang."

"Up to now, the king has still not been found, and the Queen Mother Zhao Ji may have been persuaded by Lao Ai and will come with the army."

"Tell me, how to deal with it?"

In the meeting hall, Lu Buwei summoned many close aides and recounted the information sent by his subordinates desperately, and spoke expressionlessly.

Before the incident happened, he was still worried, but when what he was worried about happened, Lu Buwei's mood actually calmed down.

Ying Zheng was playing chess, and he had already reacted.

And Lao Ai, this short-sighted fool, ambitious and daring, really couldn't withstand the temptation.

The king threw a bait at random and fished him out.

I just don’t know, Your Majesty, what do you have to rely on to have the confidence to suppress this chaos?

Also, is it just Lao Ai that you want to catch when you lay this "bait"?
"Prime Minister, there are seven thousand dragon and tiger guards in Xianyang City, and there are also fifty thousand troops stationed in the Lishan Camp in the capital."

"As long as the troops from Lishan Camp are transferred over, Lao Ai's worries will be solved."

"As for Wang Ye, we can order Hangu Pass guard General Meng Ao to lead his troops to stop him. We can even capture Wang Ye and send him to Xianyang for punishment."

In the hall, a staff member stood up and spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up and retorted:

"There is not enough time. Wang Ye travels at night and over. It only takes one day to cut the route and cross Han Valley. With this time difference, General Meng may not have time to stop him."

"What should we do? Xianyang has no city walls and no danger to defend. We can only fight in the field. Although there are [-] troops, it will be difficult to fight against [-] cavalry..."

"Alas, the news came back too late..."

"Something is not good. Not to mention Wang Jue, there is also the Queen Mother in Lao Ai's army. Even if the Prime Minister has the superior force, will he still attack Queen Mother Fengjia?"

For a time, there was a lot of chatter in the lobby, and all the staff felt troubled by the current situation, and there was a feeling that a storm was about to come.

Lu Buwei, on the other hand, swept his eyes calmly over everyone's faces, taking in the expressions and demeanor of everyone present without making a move.

"Prime Minister, General Meng cannot give up. If we want to retreat Wang Jue, we must have the Golden Fire Cavalry."

"As long as we can persist for two days, we can wait for reinforcements from General Meng. By then, Wang Ye's trouble will be solved."

"As for Queen Mother Zhao Ji, if we can't persuade her in front of the two armies, we can only invite the one from Huayang Palace."

Finally, Sima Kong stood up and reluctantly came up with a countermeasure.

Stand firm and wait for help, and seek help from Huayang Palace.

"Well, I understand, do you have anything else to say?"

In response, Lu Buwei nodded slightly and looked at his close aides.

As Sima Kong said, he did it as soon as he received the news.

The reason why everyone is summoned now is, firstly, to see if the leaks can be checked and filled, and secondly, to see the character of the staff.

Unfortunately, he was a little disappointed with the results. There were many talented people present, but not many who were wise and courageous.

"Your Excellency, there is one more thing that requires your attention."

At this moment, in the lobby, a young man in civilian clothes stood up and raised his hand to Lu Buwei.

"There is not peace in the city of Xianyang, and not all the officials in the court are of the same mind as the Prime Minister. Among them, there may be Lao Ai's inner support, or there may be others who have different intentions."

"Therefore, the Prime Minister needs to eliminate the hidden dangers in Xianyang City in advance and take strict precautions at the same time. This way, it can be taken as a precaution."

"very good."

Lu Buwei nodded and agreed with the young man's words.

"I remember, your name is Li Si, right? Xunzi's disciple is really sharp."

That commoner young man was none other than Li Si, a fellow disciple of Xiaoshengxian Manor who had recently joined Han Fei.

However, compared to Han Fei, Li Si is still unknown today. Apart from being labeled as a disciple of Xunzi, there is nothing outstanding about him.

"The Prime Minister is ridiculous. In fact, compared to Lao Ai and Wang Yan, there is another person whom the Prime Minister needs to pay attention to."

Li Si looked calm and continued.

"Oh? You said."

When Lu Buwei heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"The current king."

Li Si raised his head, faced Lu Buwei's scrutinizing gaze, and spoke solemnly.

As soon as the words fell, it was as if a thunderbolt sounded in the hall, shaking everyone's hearts.Yes, the source of all this was the King of Qin who suddenly disappeared.

And the deeper reason...

Everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Buwei, but they saw that he was as calm as ever, with an expression as calm as ever, making it hard to tell the depth.

"Li Si, you are very good. Unfortunately, you came too late. Maybe it was a mistake for you to stay here."

"Let's all go back."

After taking a deep look at Li Si, Lu Buwei said something that made everyone confused, and then waved his hand to signal those present to leave.

Hearing this, Li Si was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was saying, smiled bitterly, and backed away.

Seeing this, although the staff were confused, they did not hesitate. After bowing to Lu Buwei, they immediately withdrew.

……

"As Mr. Xiangguo gets older, his ambition to be enterprising becomes smaller and smaller. Are you ready to surrender to the King of Qin?"

When the staff in the lobby retreated, a figure walked out and looked at Lu Buwei with a half-smile.

This is an evil and handsome young man, dressed in dark purple clothes, with fair complexion and strange flame-shaped patterns on his handsome face.

"Gan Luo, you have changed a lot in the past few years since you disappeared."

When Lu Buwei saw the person coming, he looked calm and spoke calmly, as if he had known the other person's existence for a long time.

"Gan Luo is dead, and now standing in front of Lord Xiangguo is only the protector of the Yin Yang family - Xinghun."

The visitor spoke in a deep voice. He was Xinghun, one of the three guardians sent to Qin State by Donghuang Taiyi to investigate the affairs of martial arts gods.

But for some unknown reason, he did not go with the other two guardians, but came to Lu Buwei's side.

"Xinghun...Yinyang family? Pretending to be gods and ghosts."

Lu Buwei frowned, his tone impatient.

At the same time, in the dark, a cold murderous intention locked the future people tightly.

"The great master of martial arts, the killer of Luowang, but he is evil?"

Feeling the lingering sense of danger in his heart, Xinghun turned around and his expression suddenly changed.

In the shadow behind Lu Buwei, a figure shrouded in fog appeared at some point, staring at him, threatening to strike with thunder at any time.

"Tell me, why did you come to me?"

Lu Buwei was not interested in talking nonsense to Xinghun. To him, neither Gan Luo nor Xinghun was important anymore.

"Four days ago, the leader of the Yin and Yang family, Donghuang, sensed that there was someone breaking through the realm of heaven in Qin State, so he sent three guardians to investigate."

"I came to the Prime Minister's country just for this matter, but I didn't expect that such a big event would happen in the Qin Kingdom now."

Xinghun didn't hesitate and immediately stated his purpose.

He came here to reminisce about his old place. After all, he had grown up in Lu Buwei's Prime Minister's Mansion since he was a child.

Secondly, he used his past incense to ask Lu Buwei to help explore the martial arts heavenly beings who had recently made breakthroughs in the Qin Kingdom.

It's just that he didn't expect that the undercurrent of the Qin Kingdom was surging now, and Lu Buwei himself was a little worried.

It may be impossible to rely on his power.

"Martial Arts Celestial Being? Four days ago?"

When Lu Buwei heard this, he was suddenly shocked.

How can it be so coincidental?

In the Qin State, someone broke through the realm of heavenly beings four days ago, and the king also disappeared inexplicably four days ago.

No trace was left.

Could it be that it was the celestial warrior who led the king out of the palace?
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Lu Buwei pondered for a long time, but found nothing and could only sigh deeply.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Lao Ai and Wang Yan, there is now another martial arts heavenly person hiding in the chess game.

The situation is becoming more and more complicated.

In the end, Lu Buwei said nothing more and waved his hand to Xinghun.

Xinghun also knew that his trip was in vain, but he was in no hurry to leave.

It was clear that there was going to be a good show in Xianyang City, and it was the young King Qin who started the show himself.

In such a situation, it is natural not to miss it.
