The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

midnight,

Inside a mansion, the flickering flames from the bronze lamps hanging everywhere intertwined with the laughter and chatter.

Now scholars from all over the world come to join me.

Prince Gao entertained his guests day and night, sharing in their joy.

"Haha, great!"

"Come, come, drink this cup to the brim!"

The young master sat high on the main seat, holding a wine cup, looking at the several people in the room, and then looking up at the guests outside.

I was stunned for a moment, and felt a little dazed.

Even now, he still feels like it's a dream, and it all seems so unreal.

Many people came to him to seek refuge, but only a handful were able to sit at the same table with him.

The other guests were all drinking and feasting in the courtyard.

The people in the room were all handpicked by him; he considered them all to be talented individuals.

They sat in two rows on either side.

Seeing the young master raise his wine cup, they all stood up and toasted him together, showing great tact.

"Let us all drink together."

The young master raised his wine cup high and smiled.

He covered his mouth with his sleeve, drank it all in one gulp, and then poured the wine cup downwards, leaving not a drop.

For a time, the guests and hosts were all very happy, and the air was filled with lively chatter.

"Young master."

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

The young master looked down and saw a person swaying as he stood up and said.

"His Majesty has long disliked the eldest son."

"This time, I am observing state affairs with you, young master. This is a test. In the future, the best candidate will be chosen as the crown prince."

"The third young master resides in the village, indulging in pleasure day and night."

"In my humble opinion, the position of Crown Prince will sooner or later be yours."

After this person finished speaking, the others echoed his words.

The young master raised his hand, his brows slightly furrowed: "This is an undecided matter; let's not discuss it further in the future."

"Yes, yes," the man quickly replied, then raised his hand and slapped himself. "I was too talkative."

Young Master Gao waved his hand.

"It's alright, just don't mention it again."

But just as he finished speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, with people shouting.

Young Master Gao was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Go, send someone outside to see what happened?"

"Yes, young master."

Someone immediately agreed, got up from their seat, and quickly left, heading outside.

"Young master, something terrible has happened!"

Soon, the person who had gone out earlier rushed in, panting heavily.

He gasped for breath and stammered, "Outside, there's a group of people, dressed in black armor, their faces covered with ghost masks."

"They said they were ordered to apprehend a wanted criminal!"

"What?" Young Master Gao was stunned for a moment, but soon he remembered what such attire represented.

This is the Black Dragon Guard, exclusively for the First Emperor.

Throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, the only person in the world who can command them is the Emperor.

Is there some misunderstanding here?

How could his young master's residence harbor a criminal, especially one that would require the Black Dragon Guard to personally apprehend?

With that thought in mind, Gongzi Gao left the banquet.

He wanted to see for himself whether there was some misunderstanding or some conspiracy.

Soon, Young Master Gao arrived outside the room.

The entire mansion was thrown into chaos, with footsteps and shouts echoing in the distance; the scene was utterly chaotic.

People were everywhere, scattering and fleeing.

But the only door was blocked, and no matter where they fled, they were eventually caught and brought back.

Not long after, a series of rapid footsteps could be heard.

Gongzi Gao lifted his eyes and looked over.

Then they saw a group of people dressed in black armor with bronze ghost masks on their faces, leading a large group of people over.

Those were all his retainers.

Now, however, they are bound and guarded by them.

Before long, Gongzi Gao saw a person wearing a cloak leading a group of people over.

"Is everything here?"

He asked, his voice low and hoarse.

"Reporting to the commander, everyone except the people in the young master's room is here, without exception."

Upon hearing this,

The man raised his head and glanced at the young master.

To be precise, it was looking behind him at those who had been drinking with him in the room earlier.

"This general."

Gongzi Gao stepped forward and asked, "What has my guests done wrong?"

"Why arrest them?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the young master Gao in front of him.

"Young Master," Zhang Han bowed slightly and clasped his hands in a fist salute, "I was ordered to capture the thief; it is my duty, and I cannot disclose the details."

He paused for a moment, then raised his hand and waved.

The Black Dragon Guards behind him responded with a roar and rushed into the room, capturing the remaining people.

"Okay, okay."

Young Master Gao was furious and stormed off.

"Hmph, to disregard the laws of Qin so blatantly and arrest people at will, I will file a complaint with my father tomorrow and have you punished!"

...............

Overnight.

Some people just took a nap, and when they woke up,

They suddenly realized that the young master's mansion, which had been bustling with visitors yesterday, had suddenly become extremely deserted.

Some people are puzzled as to why so many people have vanished into thin air overnight.

However, some people naturally knew that the disappearance of the young master's family was probably due to the actions of that person.

at the same time,

Prince Gao walked alone into the palace, into the place where he had grown up.

He wanted to meet his father, the emperor.

Figure out the whole story of this conspiracy!

"His Majesty has ordered that no one be seen today."

At Xianyang Palace, the palace gate guards crossed bronze halberds, blocking Gongzi Gao's path.

"You don't know who I am?"

Gongzi Gao looked at the two guards.

He pointed to himself, "I am Prince Gao, the second prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. Move aside! I want to see my father, the Emperor."

But the guards remained motionless, their long spears held horizontally.

Shaking his head, he said, "His Majesty has ordered that no one be seen today. Please return, young master, and do not put us in a difficult position."

"Okay, okay."

Young Master Gao was taken aback for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.

Looking at the two of them, I thought, "Now, even two palace guards dare to bully me."

After saying that, he turned and left.

In the distance, atop a palace tower, the First Emperor stood leaning on the railing, watching Gao gradually walk away.

He lowered his hand.

He tilted his head slightly to look at Zhang Han standing beside him.

He smiled and asked, "Do you know why I don't want to see Gao Yao?"

Zhang Han lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty, I do not know."

"Is it that you don't know, or that you dare not say?"

Zhang Han paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Your Majesty, are you warning Prince Gao not to be so ostentatious?"

The First Emperor smiled but said nothing.

After a long pause, he said, "Gao, he'll understand."

Place your hands on the railing

The First Emperor closed his eyes and said.

"Go down and have the Black Dragon Guard conduct a secret interrogation. They must find out all the remnants of the six kingdoms."

As he spoke, his voice gradually turned cold.

"Better to innocuously accuse than let the guilty go free; better to kill the innocent than let a single person escape justice!"
