"We've all been kept in the dark! The Net and the Black Ice Guard are just pawns in the open..."
"Terrible...absolutely terrifying!"
The discussions in the streets and alleys spread like wildfire.
Thinking of the terrifying power lurking in the shadows of the Qin Dynasty,
Countless people felt a chill run down their spines, their clothes soaked with cold sweat!
.........
Ying Zheng's black robes billowed in the wind.
Withdraw your gaze from the sky.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Gan Luo, you can't hide it anymore."
"Didn't Your Majesty foresee this day would come?"
The voice of Donghuang Taiyi, shrouded in black robes, was ethereal.
The expression behind the mask was inscrutable.
"It's just that the secret was revealed faster than expected."
Ying Zheng remained silent with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly, the topic was changed:
"Have your injuries healed?"
"Thanks to the heavens for bestowing the elixir, otherwise I would have needed to go into seclusion for ten years."
When discussing the cost of deducing Ximen Yu,
Donghuang's fingers trembled slightly within his sleeve.
The sword light that shattered the galaxy seemed to still be right before my eyes.
"Now that there is no further hindrance, let us go and meet Xunzi."
"Let those people know that what belongs to me cannot be taken away so easily!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
A chilling killing intent spread out without any concealment!
Donghuang Taiyi responded in response.
The figure then disappeared into the darkness.
The Great Yuan Dynasty, the Imperial City.
"As expected of my formidable rival!"
"If it weren't for the Heavenly Ranking revealing this, I would never have known that the Yin-Yang School was your hidden pawn!"
Temujin stared at the contents of the list, a slight smile playing on his lips.
His whispers carried a hint of respect.
Clearly, in his mind, the only true opponent was Ying Zheng!
Even though the Tang Dynasty was powerful, he never took it seriously!
When his gaze swept over the name "Ximen Yu," Temujin's smile suddenly froze.
A startling guess surfaced in my mind—
Could it be that this person will frequently appear on the Heavenly Ranking in the future?
This thought gave him a jolt!
But my intuition grew stronger.
Judging from past rankings, the higher the ranking, the more frequently Ximen Yu appears.
And then consider his unfathomable strength—
Temujin gasped, his expression changing slightly.
After a moment, he came to his senses and muttered to himself:
"It's almost here... The truth is about to be revealed!"
The Great Tang Dynasty, Fengxuan Pavilion.
"It was him?"
Wu Zetian stared at the list of successful candidates, a hint of surprise flashing in her phoenix eyes.
She had heard of Gan Luo's name long ago.
She regretted not being able to recruit this person when he mysteriously disappeared back then.
Who would have thought that he would secretly take control of the Yin-Yang School!
This move was truly unexpected.
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, a look of shock appearing on his face.
His expression shifted, and deep shock was evident in his eyes.
As for Ximen Yu...
Perhaps it's because they frequently appear on the gold list.
When he saw the name again, he was indifferent.
To be precise, I'm completely numb!
This is a legendary figure revered by the world as the number one expert in the Nine Provinces!
It wouldn't be surprising if even more amazing things happened to him!
Just as Zhu Houzhao was marveling at this...
Wei Jinzhong strode into the hall with a beaming smile.
"Your Majesty, fantastic news!"
"Oh? What good news?"
Zhu Houzhao looked slightly surprised, a look of inquiry flashing in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, according to our spies, the master thief Chu Liuxiang seems to know the whereabouts of the Night Emperor!"
Wei Jinzhong reported the news without hesitation.
Is this really true?
Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up.
A look of joy immediately spread across his face.
My previously tense nerves involuntarily relaxed at that moment.
Because he knows it very well.
As long as we can find the Night Emperor.
Zhu Wushi's schemes and tricks are nothing to fear!
"Your Majesty, I would never dare to deceive you!"
Wei Jinzhong nodded solemnly, his expression extremely serious.
As a close advisor to the emperor.
He was well aware of the weight of this news.
Therefore, I had already verified it several times before reporting it.
They were afraid that in the end, all their efforts would be in vain!
"Great! That's fantastic!"
"Immediately send men to find Chu Liuxiang and order him to come to see me at once!"
After getting a positive answer.
Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed.
Even his tone of voice became authoritative and powerful.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already made all the necessary arrangements."
Wei Jinzhong also showed a relieved smile.
"Well done!"
"Once I quell Zhu Wushi's rebellion and restore the Ming Dynasty, I will do everything in my power to help you recover your strength!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction and praised him.
He then solemnly made a promise.
Wei Jinzhong's eyes welled up with tears, and his aged face was filled with emotion.
"His Majesty......"
"Between ruler and subject, there's no need for such formalities."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to stop him from saying anything more.
..........
The Imperial Palace of Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Qin Shi Huang's talent and strategy are truly remarkable; I am ashamed to admit my inferiority!"
Emperor Huizong gazed at the Heavenly List and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Both in his words and his demeanor, Zhao Ji held Ying Zheng in the highest esteem.
To reach this position, one must possess the necessary magnanimity and foresight.
However, Ying Zheng's actions were both unexpected and reasonable.
The unexpected thing is—
As an emperor, especially a powerful ruler like Ying Zheng who had the world in his heart and the ambition to conquer the nine provinces, why would he need to hide his power if he were to cultivate it?
But upon further reflection, it makes perfect sense—
Given such ambitions, wouldn't it be only natural to casually lay down a hidden piece?
Perhaps even more than one!
It's just that no one has noticed it yet!
Chapter 30 Orders
Upon realizing this, Zhao Ji was secretly alarmed.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked:
"Ancestor, what's the situation on the Han side?"
From the shadows, the Sunflower Ancestor responded in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, powerful forces are gathering within the Great Han territory, and even some old monsters who have been in seclusion for many years have begun to show themselves."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji pondered for a few moments, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes, and immediately gave the order:
"Immediately send a message to the Imperial Advisor, ordering him to recruit these old monsters at all costs! Even if we can't get the Longevity Pill, we must find a way to make them submit to the Song Dynasty!"
Although he didn't understand why these old monsters weren't on the Heavenly Dao Golden List, he figured it was probably similar to the secret methods of the eight great dynasties, perhaps some kind of self-sealing technique.
Now is the time for them to emerge; if we can recruit them, we can certainly strengthen our nation.
At least in the face of future turmoil, we'll have a better chance of winning!
"Your Majesty is wise! This old servant will take care of it immediately!"
