Chapter 48: For the throne, he is so cold-blooded and ruthless!
At this moment, Ying Zheng was rarely upset by trivial matters. Having experienced many vicissitudes of life, these little things could no longer easily touch his heartstrings.
Now, he only wanted to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation as soon as possible, enter the Grandmaster realm, and initially complete the task of prolonging his life.
Afterwards, he prepared to come out and set about cleaning up the empire that had been in such a mess because of his Thirteenth Son.
Before this, he would not pay too much attention unless it involved national affairs.
After hearing these narrations, the First Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Just three kinds of crop seeds? Alas, they are just children's play. Their value may not even be as great as the curved plow he invented before."
"It has been more than thirty years since I ascended the throne as King of Qin. Every year, I send a large number of manpower to search for seeds of crops that can be used as food."
"Every year, at least hundreds of new seeds appear. However, after 30 years, none of them are suitable for planting and can become a new source of food."
"He only has three types now, and he has no idea how hard it is to explore new crops."
"There is no need to mention this matter again."
"As for the fact that Wang Ben 'borrowed' another bag of refined salt from that kid..."
A smile appeared on Ying Wei's lips.
"It's quite interesting."
"I didn't expect that kid could actually take out a bag of refined salt. He has quite a few treasures in his hands."
"Humph, but if there's something good, it's best to hide it."
"When I leave the country, the first thing I will do is to raid his house!"
Immediately afterwards, Ying Heng fell into deep thought again.
"Meng Yi's side..."
"That child has the persistence that is unique to scholars."
"If his behavior is really as crazy as you say, he must have experienced a severe emotional fluctuation."
"That's not a good sign."
"You must pay close attention to this matter, especially the next time you go to court, you must find out whether Meng Yi's attitude towards the Thirteenth Emperor has changed."
"Although I still don't know what Xiao Shisan is capable of."
"But with the reversal of the two prime ministers' positions and the changes in the situation of the entire court, he must be hiding some unknown cards."
"Meng Yi is my right-hand man and the chief among the civil officials in the court. If he also betrays his loyalty, the situation will become serious."
Meng Yi played a vital role in both the civil and military aspects of the Meng family. If he defected, the stance of his brother Meng Tian would be unpredictable.
If the 300,000 frontier troops all sided with Ying Heng, the Qin Empire would probably be overthrown by Ying Heng in an instant.
"This matter must be investigated quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the black shadow immediately knelt down and accepted the order.
"Also, how is the situation over there in Fusu?"
"Why haven't you returned yet? What progress has been made in the investigation?"
The leader of the Black Ice Platform had just received the latest intelligence and replied after hesitating for a moment:
"Your Majesty, I was just about to report this matter."
"According to the report from our Black Ice Platform's most skilled spy, at the checkpoint leading to the north from Xianyang, there seems to be a team of Jinyiwei with extraordinary skills who have set up a dragnet, and all the heroes heading north have been captured."
"Moreover, up to now, no official from the imperial court has gone to Beiguan to deliver the news..."
boom! There was a loud bang.
"What does he want?"
"I have passed away, and he wants to hide it from even his own brother?"
"There is no respect for hierarchy, and no regard for family affection!"
"It's simply callous and ruthless to the extreme!"
"For the throne, he can be so ruthless and heartless!" "Send someone to inform Fusu immediately!"
"In addition, I will focus on my cultivation in seclusion from now on. Do not disturb me unless it is related to the fate of the country!"
The leader of the secret guards responded: "As you command!"
……
At the same time, Mo Ningshuang staggered back home, her steps felt like she was walking on cotton in the clouds. She sometimes frowned and pouted, sometimes giggled and talked to herself, completely unaware of how she had spent the day.
Somehow, all those new things that usually fascinated her and made her happy at a glance.
Such as improved plows, movable type printing, and methods of storing ice in ice cellars.
At this moment, it was like a fleeting image in her mind, difficult to stay.
On the contrary, the image of a tall, upright, humorous, talented and extremely masculine figure lingered in her mind and became increasingly vivid.
"Oh, what's going on?"
Mo Ningshuang gently covered her slightly hot cheeks and walked into the Mo family compound.
Just at this moment, a clear and pleasant girl's voice was heard.
"Sister Ningshuang, where have you been? Why did you come back just now?"
Mo Ningshuang looked over when she heard the voice and saw a woman in dark tight clothes looking at her.
The woman was slender and slightly smaller than her, with a beautiful face and a hint of heroism.
"Sister Tian Rao, why are you here?" Mo Ningshuang was full of joy.
The person in front of you is none other than Tian Rao, a leader among farmers.
It is rumored that Tian Mo and his partner are the twin stars among the new generation of Baijia.
However, what is not well known is that the two are actually close friends, so close that they can even exchange underwear!
You know, in this traditional and conservative era, it is possible to have such a deep friendship with such a woman.
The closeness of their relationship has long surpassed that of ordinary sisters.
The reason is that they shared the same lofty ideal - to overthrow the tyrannical Qin rule and carry forward their respective academic ideas.
What makes them admire each other even more is that although they are girls, they each possess extraordinary talents.
In addition, they were of similar age and both possessed rare beauty, so they naturally became very good friends.
When the two met again, they were naturally overjoyed and smiled like flowers.
Just like twin lotus flowers, when they are in full bloom, they instantly overshadow all the plum blossoms in the entire courtyard.
When asked by her friend, Tian Rao answered frankly: "You also know that my origins are unknown. During the time I was in charge of the farm, I have been secretly exploring my origins."
"A few days ago, Master Sword Saint mentioned that my life experience might be related to the Zhao family, the royal family of the pre-Qin Dynasty. I traced it to Zhao Gao, but the clues came to an abrupt end."
"During this trip, we learned that Zhao Gao, the insider that our anti-Qin forces had been in contact with for a long time, had been killed."
"I came here this time, first, to find out the truth about my life, and second, to personally explore the mansion of the rumored Thirteenth Young Master."
"Zhao Gao holds many of our secrets. Whether he is captured or killed, I must see him or his remains."
"It would be a pleasant surprise if I could learn my father's true identity from him!"
Mo Ningshuang looked serious after hearing this. She responded slowly, "This matter is indeed of great importance. It's a pity that I am not good at martial arts, otherwise I would definitely fight with you to get into the dragon's den and the tiger's lair!"
Tian Rao smiled gently: "Sister, don't worry. I have quietly advanced to the Half-Step Heaven Realm. Even if I face Master, I can fight for three hundred rounds without losing."
"My current martial arts skills may not allow me to easily defeat top-level masters, but if I were to escape, I'm afraid no one in this world would be able to stop me."
"A mere young master's mansion is as easy for me as taking something out of a bag."
Mo Ningshuang seemed relieved after hearing this, but she asked with concern: "Sister, but you once said that if you are not in a hurry to be born, maybe you will have a chance to touch the unattainable realm of heaven in this life..."
