Xianyang Palace at night

"Cough cough~ cough cough~" A gust of wind blew, and Ying Zheng couldn't help coughing.

The waiter at the side hurried forward and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, how is your health? Do you want me to call the imperial physician?"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked, "I know my own health, you don't need to worry about it!

How many memorials have you reviewed today?"

"Your Majesty, I'm already over 140 kilograms, which exceeds the standard of 120 kilograms you set. You can rest now!" the waiter replied hurriedly.

"One hundred and forty kilograms? There are more memorials submitted recently, which means there are more state affairs that need to be dealt with. More state affairs mean more troubles at the local level. This is not a good sign!" Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng ordered: "Pass the order down. Three months later, I will go on an eastern tour. Have someone arrange all the related matters. This time, I will go to personally understand the people's sentiments!"

Dongjun, Farmhouse

Tian Yan, who had just fought a fierce battle and whose blush had not yet faded, asked, "Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang disappeared. Was it you who took action?"

"Don't worry, they are not dead. I just gave them a task. They will come back naturally after completing the task!" Chen Mo explained.

As for what mission? If you don't let the man who shouted "Are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different races" to rebel, wouldn't that be a waste of talent?

At the same time, Mount Li

In addition to the Lishan Camp where the Qin State stored heavy troops, there were also some captives from the six kingdoms. They all worked here to build the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor for Ying Zheng!

"Hurry up! If you delay any longer, you won't be able to have the next meal!" the supervisor urged, waving the whip in his hand.

Among the people working, there was a man with a burly build, which formed a sharp contrast with the people around him. Even the supervisors did not dare to scold him easily.

At this moment, the man was carrying a large stone when suddenly a large hand covered his shoulder. He was about to fight back when he heard the person behind him say in surprise, "Xia Kui, is it really you?"

The voice was so familiar. With disbelief, he slowly turned around and saw that it was the person he imagined. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Sheng Qi? And Wu Kuang? Why are you here too?"

"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk at night!" Wu Kuang reminded, pointing at the supervisor nearby.

That night

"Xia Kui, how come you are in Mount Li? Why did you disappear back then? And what's the matter with the Xia Kui Order that reappeared some time ago?" Sheng Qi asked puzzledly.

Tian Guang sighed and began to tell the story.

It turns out that the reason why he disappeared three years ago was because he was ambushed by Luowang, and the one who betrayed him was the former leader of Lieshan Hall, Tian Meng. Tian Meng used him as a stepping stone to join Luowang.

After Tian Guang was captured, he was subjected to severe torture in an attempt to extract the secret of the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars, but fortunately he managed to hold on.

The Shennong Order did indeed slip out of his hands, but he had no way to stop it!

As for why he appeared in Mount Li, it was because someone pretended to be Zhao Gao and rescued the predecessor Jingwei from Luowang’s headquarters a while ago. They were worried that he would be rescued as well, so they arranged him in Mount Li.

Moreover, in order to prevent him from escaping secretly despite his great martial arts skills, a special set of chains was made for him. These chains were made by Gongshujia and had mechanisms built into them. They could not be opened without a special key, and the key was in Zhao Gao's hands.

"By the way, weren't you at the farm? How come you are here in Mount Li? Could it be that Tian Meng has harmed you too?" Tian Guang asked doubtfully.

Tian Meng has been unable to contact the outside world, so he doesn't know much about the news outside and still thinks that Tian Meng is still alive.

Wu Kuang explained: "When you disappeared, Xia Kuang, I found out that this might be related to Luowang, so I quietly changed my appearance and joined Luowang, hoping to find out about your situation, and then-"

As Wu Kuang told his story, Tian Guang also learned about some major events that had taken place in the world in recent years.

After learning that the current leader of the Nong family is Tian Yan, I felt incredible. I never thought that the Nong family would be headed by a woman one day!

"So, you came to Mount Li this time actually with a mission?" Tian Guang asked.

"Yes!" Shengqi nodded and told the plan.

Not to mention it now, as long as we are active in Mount Li, we will be exposed sooner or later, and if we can have Tian Guang's assistance, the plan will be able to go more smoothly.

After hearing this, Tian Guang's face became serious: "Okay, I can cooperate with you!"

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

"Where is Ying Zheng now?" Chen Mo asked.

Master Xun calculated: "According to the intelligence we received earlier, Ying Zheng's eastern tour team should be arriving at Shaqiu soon.

Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Chen Mo looked in the direction of the sand dunes and murmured, "Because I guessed that Ying Zheng will die soon!"

Master Xun asked in surprise, "Are you planning to do it yourself?"

In his opinion, if Chen Mo took action personally, it would not be surprising that he could kill Ying Zheng.

Chen Mo shook his head: "If I wanted to kill him myself, I could have done it two years ago. There is someone else who wants to kill him!"

"Oh? Besides you, is there anyone else in this world who can kill Ying Zheng under heavy protection?" Master Xun was a little curious.

As far as he knew, the Qin State also had its own masters. When the six states were about to be destroyed, a master broke into the Xianyang Palace and wanted to assassinate Ying Zheng, but was killed on the spot.

The reason why Ying Zheng dared to tour the east must be because he was protected by a master of heaven, otherwise he would not dare to run around.

As for why Ying Zheng did not send out celestial masters when attacking the Mohist School, it was naturally because celestial masters were few in number. Once the various schools of thought knew that the celestial masters in the Xianyang Palace had left, there was no guarantee that celestial masters from the various schools of thought would come to assassinate him.

"Have you ever heard of this saying? A strong fortress is often breached from the inside!" Chen Mo said meaningfully.

Master Xun's eyes suddenly widened: "You mean? But how is this possible? Can the heavenly being in the dark tolerate the murder of Ying Zheng?"

"Who knows!" Chen Mo said in a gloomy tone.

At least that's what the history books say. Ying Zheng died in the desert, reportedly of illness. Although this is a martial arts world with all kinds of medicines with amazing effects, all kinds of strange poisons also emerge in an endless stream, such as the former poison Yu Qianye and the poison that Master Xun was poisoned by in the battle at Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Maybe there is some kind of poison that even the gods cannot detect?

As for whether it was because of this butterfly that Ying Zheng survived? Out of respect for Ying Zheng, the greatest emperor of all time, Chen Mo had done his utmost to let him live to Shaqiu. If he didn't die, Chen Mo really wouldn't mind sending him off!

On the other side, Yin Yang Family

The Moon God took the initiative to find Donghuang Taiyi and said solemnly: "Something big is going to happen!"

"Oh? What makes you so panicked?" Donghuang Taiyi asked in surprise. As far as he knew, the Moon Goddess had never been like this before.

"Today, I had a sudden impulse and used astrology to predict Ying Zheng's fate. Although I suffered backlash, I did get a glimpse of it. It was this glimpse that made me realize that something big was going to happen!"

After hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi realized that the Moon Goddess's face was indeed a little pale, probably due to the backlash.

What was the important matter that caused her to come to me instead of regulating her breathing immediately after being attacked back?

As if she saw through his doubts, the Moon Goddess said something shocking: "Today the First Emperor dies!"

Hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi was also shocked. After a long while, he sighed and said, "It seems that the world is about to usher in disputes again!"

At the same time, in Shaqiu, in the Emperor's tent

"Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai, you three are so bold that you actually intend to rebel?" Ying Zheng's face turned pale, and he broke out in cold sweat just while speaking.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. How could we rebel? It's just that your Majesty is indeed in poor health. For the stability of the Qin Dynasty, please issue an edict to appoint Prince Hu Hai as the crown prince!" Zhao Gao said sinisterly.

"I have left a will, appointing Fusu as the crown prince!" Ying Zheng started breathing heavily after saying a few words.

Chapter 146: When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked? The whole world is in rebellion

Ying Zheng glanced at Hu Hai, then at Li Si and Zhao Gao, and shook his head: "With these two greedy ministers here, if the throne is passed to you, the Qin State will be finished!"

Hearing this, Hu Hai was dissatisfied, while Li Si and Zhao Gao were shocked: As expected of His Majesty the First Emperor, he saw the crux of the problem at a glance, but so what? Things are different now, and it is useless for you to see through it!

Zhao Gao advised: "Sir, even without the imperial edict, you can still be the emperor, right, Lord Li Si?"

He wanted Li Si to express his opinion. Li Si glanced at Ying Zheng and hesitated a little, but soon realized that things had come to this point and there was no way out, so his eyes gradually became firm: "Lord Zhao Gao is right. With the support of Lord Zhao Gao and me, the throne will definitely be yours!"

Ying Zheng was so angry that his body was shaking. "How dare you, a bunch of rebels! Come on, where are the Shadow Guards?"

"Shadow Secret Guard? Your Majesty, do you think we dare to confront you without considering the Shadow Secret Guard? At this moment, Zhang Han has probably fallen into my trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain!" Zhao Gao said sinisterly.

Ying Zheng's face turned even paler, as if he had thought of something. He said in disbelief, "No wonder he volunteered. So you guys had already planned this?"

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, a figure shrouded in a black robe appeared on the scene.

The man in black robe looked at Ying Zheng and murmured, "Your Majesty, I didn't want to do that either, but Master Hu Hai gave me too much!"

That’s right, this man in black robe is the master who is secretly protecting Ying Zheng!

There are three celestial masters in the Qin State. One is a member of the royal family, one took the initiative to surrender to Ying Zheng and was left in the Xianyang Palace by Ying Zheng to protect the safety of the palace. And the other one was this one. It was because of this one who volunteered that he left the other one in the palace to protect him. But he didn't expect that everything was a conspiracy!

He knew that this person was optimistic about Hu Hai, and it was for this reason that he did not directly appoint Fusu as the crown prince. He wanted to give this person face and win him over, but he didn't expect that it would harm himself in the end!

puff~

He was already terminally ill, and when he thought that the Qin State might be destroyed by them in the future, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone in the field was shocked by this scene. When they came to their senses, they found that Ying Zheng was actually dead, but he still had his eyes open and was staring at everyone.

Everyone was a little scared, especially Hu Hai, who said nervously: "Ah, what should we do? If something happens, we will all die without a burial place!"

Li Si hesitated for a moment before saying, "We will keep the news a secret until you have completely stabilized your political power, then we will announce it to the public!"

half an hour later

Zhang Han rushed back, but was stopped before he could enter. Seeing that it was a master who was protecting His Majesty, he did not dare to be rude and asked in confusion: "Sir, I wonder what this means?"

"Your Majesty has been in poor health recently and has ordered not to see outsiders. Please come back another day!" the black robe said indifferently.

Zhang Han also knew that Ying Zheng was indeed in poor health, so he didn't think much about it and turned around and left.

Three days later, at night

Looking at Ying Zheng's eastern tour camp in the distance, Chen Mo sighed softly.

He then sealed off his own Qi and used the [Harmony with the Light and Dust] technique, sending himself into darkness.

When he arrived at the door of Ying Zheng's tent, Chen Mo looked somewhere, but didn't pay attention to it and walked straight in.

Looking at Ying Zheng, who died with his eyes open and corpse spots already showing on his face, Chen Mo thought to himself: As expected, you are still dead, but it’s better this way, as it makes you face the reality!

The next day

Looking at the empty tent, Zhao Gao, Li Si, Hu Hai and the man in black robe had gloomy expressions.

"Sir in black robe, was there any outsider here last night?" Li Si asked.

"No, I've been keeping an eye on it these past few days. No outsider has entered. Even Zhang Han was stopped by me!" The man in black robe shook his head.

“Being able to sneak in here without alerting the black-robed master shows that the person who came here is extremely powerful. There are definitely not many people who have this ability.
