Chapter 126 The King of Qin takes charge

It is undeniable that the chief officer of Dengcheng is a smart man. After Li Chen showed his momentum, this man got things done obediently

For such a person, Li Chen wouldn't mind giving him a chance to live.

The most important thing is that to the Chu State, Li Chen is just a passing visitor. Even if this person breaks out of him in the future, he will have already left the Chu State by then.

After rescuing Huaying, the three of them did not stay in Dengcheng. They simply bought some food for Jibu and his brother to eat on the way, and then left Dengcheng directly.

Since Hua Ying had never practiced martial arts, she naturally couldn't go on her way like Li Chen and the others did.

Therefore, after leaving Dengcheng, several people rushed to the bank of the Han River about a mile away from Dengcheng.

Li Chen took out a gold coin, and the boatman happily agreed to send the three of them to the inn.

When Li Chen and the others returned to the inn, it was already evening.

Li Chen opened two rooms for Ji Bu and his brother, and asked them to go down and rest first.

After all, the two siblings had no time to take a good rest due to what they had experienced in the past two or three days.

Therefore, he secretly visited Mrs. Huayang, obtained the support of the Chu clan of Qin State, took back some power from Lu Buwei, and began to rule personally.

Since this matter involved Prime Minister Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

At this time, Ying Zheng did not dare to be careless. If Lu Buwei really rebelled, the Qin State would fall into turmoil.

As the investigation continued to unfold, Lao Ai finally couldn't hold on any longer. By playing the emotional card, she obtained the seal from Zhao Ji and prepared to launch a rebellion while Ying Zheng was attending the crowning ceremony at Qinian Palace in Yongcheng.

Ying Zheng thought twice and decided to let Lao Ai jump out on his own.

However, Yanying, as the capital of Chu State during its most prosperous period, occupies an area that cannot be compared with ordinary cities.

"But what?" Ying Zheng turned around and looked over.

Gai Nie nodded: "It's very possible."

Since then, King Qin Yingzheng has completely stepped onto the stage of history.

The next morning, everyone got up early, and Li Chen introduced everyone to Ji Bu and his brother.

Gai Nie on the side replied: "Luowen suffered heavy losses in Xinzheng, and its strength is not as good as before. During the whole process, the killer of Luowen was not seen. But..."

When Ying Zheng got the news, he became furious and immediately sent his trusted aides to investigate and verify.

Li Chen's side was peaceful, but in the outside world, a major event that shocked the world happened this month.

It was not until more than forty years ago that Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of the Qin State, led an army to attack the Chu State and occupied Zaiying and Yanying, and the title of the accompanying capital was cancelled.

Therefore, in the name of investigation, we continued to put pressure on Lao Ai, and at the same time, we were preparing to crown him as the official in power, and at the same time, we were observing Lu Buwei's reaction.

However, Ying Zheng was well prepared. Not only did he have Guigu Gainei by his side, he had also reached an agreement with the Chu clan of the Empress Dowager Huayang and gained their support.

Yanying was the capital of Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period. Although the capital has been moved for more than 270 years, it has always been the companion capital of Zaiying.

In Yanying, the most valuable thing to look for may be the former imperial palace. Li Chen plans to find time to go in and explore it next time.

Even if there is no harvest, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, everyone did not go to the inn, but went directly to a tooth shop and rented a larger courtyard to live in.

Lu Buwei was born as a businessman, and he was very clear about profit calculations, and knew that there was no way out for rebellion.

After everything was arranged properly, Li Chen began to think about how to find clues.

The two sons born to the Queen Mother were killed, and the Queen Mother Zhao was imprisoned in Yongdi.

Although it suffered some damage during the occupation by Qin soldiers, after more than 40 years of redevelopment, Yanying still looks prosperous.

Later, someone reported that Lao Ai was a fake eunuch who had an affair with the Queen Mother and had two sons. He once conspired with the Queen Mother: "The king will die and his son will be his queen."

Therefore, after the Lao Ai incident broke out, Lu Buwei completely gave up on Lao Ai.

When he came here, Li Chen planned to stop first and explore Yanying for a while.

Not to mention anything else, if Li Xin wants to take action again later, it will be more reassuring to let Huaying take care of little Ayan than to take care of little Li Xue and Mei Sanniang.

In recent years, facing the pressure from Qin, many nobles from Chu State have followed the capital of Chu to move eastward to Shouchun.

After Li Chen helped him rescue his sister, Ji Bu agreed to follow Li Chen, but he was worried about his sister being alone.

Therefore, Li Chen and others found a suitable yard without any effort, a large house with three entrances.

Lao Ai's rebellion was quickly put down, three thousand of his followers were executed, and Lao Ai was also sentenced to death.

Besides, a copper box has already fallen into his hands, and he came to Chu State just to obtain more information on this basis.

However, because he had made great contributions in serving the late king, and there were many guests and debaters interceding for him, Ying Zheng let Lu Buwei go. However, all the power in Lu Buwei's hands was seized by Ying Zheng.

Finally, Li Chen agreed to take the two of them with him.

Li Chen was not discouraged, after all, he was prepared before coming here.

After Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang from Han, what he encountered along the way made it difficult for him to trust Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei again.

Li Chen also asked Ji Bu to take the time to pass on the mental skills he cultivated to Hua Ying. Although he may not necessarily become a master, he still needs to have the ability to protect himself.

"This incident broke out quickly and strangely, as if someone was behind it," Gai Nie said calmly.

In Xianyang, in the palace, Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand, raised his head and asked in a deep voice: "Is there a snare involved in this incident?"

After Lao Ai launched a rebellion, he immediately ordered Changping Jun and Chang Wen Jun, who were well prepared, to send troops to attack Lao Ai.

After a month, Li Chen almost searched the old palace of Chu State, but in the end he found nothing.

Since the Queen Mother Zhao Ji left Xianyang and lived in the Li Palace in Yongcheng, her relationship with Lao Ai has been almost irreconcilable.

Ying Zheng easily found the results he wanted, and also found out that all of this was related to Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei.

After having breakfast together and everyone basically getting acquainted with each other, everyone got on the boat again and headed towards Yanying.

"You mean, this matter was caused by a trap?" Ying Zheng's eyes darkened.

Time flies by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

"Didn't Luo Wang cooperate with Lu Xiang? This incident also affected Lu Xiang. Why did they do this?" Ying Zheng asked with some confusion.

Gai Nie shook his head and did not speak any more.

Ying Zheng clenched his fist, punched the table in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the power I have now is not enough to make those people afraid!"

Then, he raised his head and looked at the map of the seven countries hanging on the wall, with a heart-stopping light reflected in his eyes...
