Chapter 419 The Unspeakable Secret

Principal Lin is really mischievous; he keeps teasing Zu Long.

[Oh dear, if I were Zu Long, I would definitely write Principal Lin down in my revenge notebook.]

Netizens in the East were laughing and joking. As a country with an agrarian civilization, everyone was in high spirits upon seeing a bountiful harvest.

However, some experts and scholars have offered different speculations on this matter and submitted their paper, "An Analysis of the Differences in Zhao Zheng's Behavior and Personality as Recorded in the Trial Grounds and Historical Books," to the Dongguo Emergency Response Team.

They believe that Zhao Zheng's behavior on the trial grounds was somewhat different from what is recorded in historical books.

Zhao Zheng's childhood in Handan was filled with turmoil, danger, and abandonment.

Although he had some economic security, he suffered from bullying and contempt in the hostile society of Zhao, and his life was often threatened, so he had to hide to survive.

This experience shaped the foundation of his personality.

His childhood was marked by discrimination and threats, leaving him with an extreme lack of security and a heart full of resentment. This experience also fostered in him extraordinary resilience and self-control.

Historically, after the Qin state conquered the Zhao state, he personally went to Handan and had all those who might have had childhood grudges against his mother's family buried alive. This shows that he was extremely vengeful and had a strong desire for revenge.

Despite his personality, there was a subtle sense of incongruity when he was with Principal Lin.

When we first met, he was still clamoring for revenge, his hateful eyes seeming as if he wanted to kill someone.

But his attitude wasn't as intense when they met for the second time.

Why? Where should we change things?
Their every move is under the watchful eyes of billions of people.

Experts and scholars have watched the relevant videos hundreds of times, but they have not found a single clue.

This paper, the culmination of the hard work of experts and scholars, was easily rejected by the emergency response team.

Bai Kaixiu was furious.

He went to the emergency team's external liaison office, his eyes bloodshot, and slammed his fist on the table: "Please take our questions seriously! This is not a trivial matter."

His voice was hoarse, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He said urgently, "We must find out the reason for the discrepancy. Is Secretary Shi wrong? If so, we need to find out as soon as possible what is wrong, to what extent, and whether it will affect our plans."

"This is no joke! A single error in the information could very well cause Principal Lin's efforts to be in vain."

Bai Kaixiu was almost frantic with worry.

If even the most extensive historical records about Qin Shi Huang can be wrong, then what about the less detailed accounts of King Zhao and Lian Po?

What if King Zhao is even more incompetent, and after Principal Lin arrives in Dai, he disregards everything and uses fabricated charges against Principal Lin?
The emergency response team liaison poured Bai Kaixiu a glass of warm water and gently reassured him, "We have received the experts' advice. You've worked hard. So far, the plan is proceeding smoothly without any deviations. Your efforts have not been in vain."

"Nonsense! Can't you be a little more vigilant? Principal Lin is just loitering around the outskirts of Handan right now, he hasn't entered the core area yet, so of course there won't be any problems. But in a few months, Yan and Zhao will be at war..."

“Professor Bai!” The emergency response team liaison interrupted him loudly, his tone firm and unwavering. “Our goals are aligned. Please trust us, okay?”

Bai Kaixiu met the other person's gaze.

It was a steadfastness like a towering mountain, seemingly containing a thousand unspoken words.

Bai Kaixiu's mind went blank for a moment. He seemed to understand, but he wasn't sure if it was what he thought.

He opened his mouth several times, then closed it again, finally uttering slowly, "Okay."

At the Star Alliance Civilization Observation Center, a wisp of consciousness from each of the two blue orbs repeatedly watched this conversation. On the surface, there was nothing wrong.

But for some reason, he was very concerned about this conversation, always feeling that there was an unspeakable secret hidden on the physical Earth.

Are these carbon-based humans trying to prevent themselves from eavesdropping?
They didn't communicate using any physical gestures, words, or language. Did they communicate using their thoughts?

No, the technological development of Earth's civilization has not reached that level.

It’s weird.

He had a vague feeling that something beyond his control was happening right under his nose.

Driven by this unease, he once again sped up the flow of time in the training grounds. He needed to uncover the secrets of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum as soon as possible and resolve the source of this unease—Lin Xiaohe.

He didn't want to wait for the results of exploration number 11839 any longer.

Lin Xiaohe's great success in the training grounds allowed her to gain face in front of Lian Po.

In Lian Po's eyes, Lin Xiaohe was no longer an orphan of a subordinate, a spoiled and somewhat domineering young woman, but a child with some farming talent and the courage to think and act.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Xiaohe borrowed money from Lian Po and then from Tian Ye, intending to buy more land and expand her business.

During the war between Yan and Zhao, Lian Po made another great contribution. Upon his return, he was appointed Lord Xinping by the King of Zhao and served as the prime minister of the State of Zhao.

In a good mood and full of high spirits, he readily agreed to Lin Xiaohe's request for money.

After much hesitation, the eldest princess quietly increased the allowance she gave Tianye.

During the Spring Festival of 252 BC, Zhao Zheng and Zhao Ji kept a very low profile.

Even Zhao Ji sensed the intense fighting spirit of the Zhao people towards the Qin state, as well as their hostility towards her and her son.

The victory of Zhao over Yan greatly boosted the confidence of the entire Zhao state, making the King of Zhao and the people of Zhao believe that they were invincible again. Some scholars even proposed the slogan of revenge against Qin.

My family knows their own affairs.

As the commander-in-chief, Lian Po knew that this battle would almost completely destroy the already weak foundation of the Zhao state.

In court, he rejected the advocacy of the war faction, stating frankly that the state of Zhao was in a bad state and needed to recuperate and develop its strength in a low-key manner.

King Zhao was not happy to hear such words, and under Guo Kai's instigation, his opinion of Lian Po deepened day by day.

Lian Po was deeply mired in the political quagmire of the Zhao state, and his days were very difficult.

Zhao Zheng sensed that the King of Zhao was subtly taking his anger out on him and his mother, so he instructed Zhao Ji to bribe Guo Kai with money to speak well of the two women.

Of course, these upheavals did not affect Lin Xiaohe's plans.

In the spring of 251 BC, Lin Xiaohe's growing reputation brought her a team of more than 10 farmers, as well as commoners who came seeking her out.

Of the common people, only one-fifth were contestants from the Eastern Kingdom. They were all pale, thin, and emaciated, almost all of them refugees who had fled from Dai.

According to them, the Dai region, as one of the main battlefields, suffered severe damage to agriculture, commerce, and animal husbandry, and even cannibalism occurred.

The Zhao Kingdom's court wanted to provide disaster relief, but its treasury was empty, leaving it powerless to do so.

After taking in disaster victims from Daidi, Lin Xiaohe focused on production, and the clusters of green shoots sprouting in the fields were the hope for life.
