Starting with ten elixirs of immortality, I led the First Emperor to rebel against the Qin Dynasty.

"Wang Jian, Li Si, you two will accompany me out of the palace."

Wang Jian and Li Si exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

"Your Majesty?" Li Si couldn't help but ask.

Ying Zheng said meaningfully.

"I haven't seen Huan'er for a long time."

"And that kid Fusu, he's been with Huan'er for quite a while now, I wonder how he's been reformed."

"Moreover..." Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Wang Jian, with a hint of teasing, "Didn't I promise the old general that I would find you an unparalleled military genius to be your apprentice? Perfect, let's go and take a look together."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jian's old face immediately broke into a wide smile.

He had no recollection of any Confucian scholars or remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

All that remained in my mind were the four words "peerless military genius".

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Si's heart stirred, and he instantly understood His Majesty's deeper meaning.

Rumors are circulating in the city that His Majesty wants to hear the "brilliant insights" of Prince Huan; if he doesn't, then perhaps one of the Hundred Schools of Thought will be lost.

"Oh, right," Ying Zheng said to Li Si as if he had just remembered something, "Last time I gave Huan'er a jade pendant, he actually wanted to bite it to test if it was real or not, acting like a greedy old man who had never seen the world."

"Bring plenty of things this time. Pack several boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and calligraphy. I want to see his expression when he sees all this."

Upon hearing this, Li Si's lips twitched involuntarily.

His Majesty is not going to solve a problem; he is more like an old father returning home in glory, ready to show off his family fortune to his son.

However, he dared not say it aloud and could only bow and accept the order.

"My lord, I obey your order."

The carriage stopped at the village entrance, and the three of them got off and walked into the village.

This was Wang Jian's first time here, and he looked around with surprise the whole way.

"Your Majesty, this...this is Zhao Family Village?"

Looking at the clean stone-paved roads in the village, the neatly planned fields along the roadside, and the aroma of meat wafting from afar, I could hardly believe my eyes.

Ying Zheng said with a hint of pride, "Not bad. Everything here is thanks to Huan'er."

The three of them soon arrived at Zhao Huan's courtyard.

The three of them froze as soon as they stepped into the courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, Fusu was shirtless, meticulously practicing a set of boxing techniques.

His fists clenched with ferocious force, each strike delivered with full power, his eyes focused and resolute.

Ying Zheng looked at this scene with a satisfied expression in his eyes and nodded to himself.

If it were the old Fusu, he would have been very particular about gentlemanly manners. He would have considered it impolite to be shirtless or even to have his clothes slightly disheveled.

Although he looks disheveled now, he has gained a lot of the courage and fortitude that a man should have.

It seems that Huan'er's reform of him has been very effective.

Wang Jian and Li Si were also surprised.

They knew how gentle and refined the eldest son, Fusu, was, so this complete transformation came as a great surprise to them.

Ying Zheng's gaze swept around the courtyard, but he did not see Zhao Huan.

Just then, a woman who was chopping wood in the corner of the yard stopped and looked up.

She was dressed in coarse linen clothes, her hair was simply tied back, and her face was covered with a little dust, but it still couldn't hide her stunning beauty.

Ying Zheng's gaze fell on her, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

Xu Mofu of the Yin-Yang School?

What is she doing here!

Ying Zheng's gaze was like a sword. Xu Mofu shuddered involuntarily when he was swept by that gaze, and he almost dropped the axe in his hand.

Oh no, His Majesty has come after all. I wonder what he will do to me.

Bai Qi and Fusu, who were in the courtyard, also noticed the three people at the door.

Fusu stopped his fist practice, saw Ying Zheng, was stunned for a moment, then showed a complicated expression on his face, stepped forward and bowed.

"Father."

Bai Qi remained as calm as ever, giving Ying Zheng a slight nod as a greeting.

"His Majesty."

Wang Jian and Li Si quickly returned the greetings to Fusu and Bai Qi.

Ying Zheng's gaze swept over Fusu, finally landing on Bai Qi, and he asked in a low voice, "Where is Huan'er?"

"Young Master has gone to the Academy of Natural Sciences," Bai Qi replied succinctly.

He glanced at Xu Mofu standing beside him, barely daring to breathe, and briefly explained why Xu Mofu was there.

From her infiltrating the village and being captured by Zhao Huan, to Fusu's desperate lie that she was his fiancée, and then to her working as a maid in the courtyard to pay rent these past few days, one thing after another, although she explained it simply, Ying Zheng still understood.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression became even more unpleasant.

He glanced at Fusu, and his anger flared up again.

That brat, what a pushover!

If it weren't for the fact that he has indeed made some progress, Ying Zheng would have liked to take off his belt on the spot and let him experience the profound love of a father once more.

"This woman deserves to die." Ying Zheng's voice was devoid of any emotion.

The presence of Yin-Yang School members around Huan'er is itself a huge hidden danger.

"I can kill him, but not now," Bai Qi shook his head.

Ying Zheng frowned and looked at him.

Bai Qi continued in a deep voice, "I've discovered that Young Master Huan... can't control his power. Although this girl is clumsy, she's perfect for staying by his side and tempering his temperament."

"Every time the young master was so angry with her that he was furious, he would suppress his murderous intent because of the eldest young master's lies. For him, this was also a kind of self-cultivation."

"However, it's better to guide than to suppress. When the time is right, we should find a way to let him release this murderous aura. The best place would be the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.

He had witnessed Huan'er's martial prowess firsthand; even Meng Tian was no match for him. Such terrifying power, if one's mental state couldn't keep up, would indeed be a huge hidden danger.

Bai Qi's suggestion is not without merit.

Looking at Fusu, his anger subsided considerably, but his dissatisfaction with Zhang Han rose.

When Zhang Han came to deliver the jade pendant last time, he didn't even mention that Xu Mofu was here.

He had no doubt about Zhang Han's loyalty, but as the sword in his hand, the Black Ice Platform was most wary of being too clever for its own good.

"You decide what to do about this," Ying Zheng finally agreed to Bai Qi's suggestion.

He walked up to Xu Moye, looked down at the terrified woman, and spoke in an icy voice.

"I may spare your life. But you'd better behave yourself and not harbor any improper thoughts."

"Although your Yin-Yang School has always claimed to support the Qin Dynasty, don't think I don't know what you've been up to behind the scenes."

"You'd better watch yourself."

Xu Mofu felt Ying Zheng's murderous intent, which was so strong that his face turned pale and he nodded hurriedly.

During her time in Zhao Family Village, although she did manual labor, she experienced an unprecedented sense of equality and peace.

Here, there are no high and mighty Yin-Yang Masters, nor are there any lowly servants.

Everyone does what they can, earning food and respect through their labor.

This kind of life gradually became an addiction for her, and she even forgot her original purpose.

After warning Xu Mofu, Ying Zheng ignored her and turned to Bai Qi, saying, "I brought some things with me. Have someone move them to the courtyard and put them away properly."

After saying that, he led Wang Jian, Li Si, and Fusu, and turned to walk towards the Institute of Natural Sciences.
