Three days have passed since the last time Lu Buwei asked to see Zhao Ji, hoping to get the Luowang killing weapon Jing Salamander. During these three days, Lu Buwei failed to get the news he wanted, not even a hint of news.
After receiving a reply, the news from Ying Zheng was as silent as a stone sinking into the sea. This kind of thing left a huge shadow in Lu Buwei's heart.
A sense of crisis gradually spread in Lu Buwei's heart.
In the Qin State, although he was the king of Qin and his father-in-law and held the position of prime minister, his foundation was still too shallow after all. In less than ten years, he transformed from a merchant to the prime minister of the Qin State. This
A legend, but legends can only be built in the air.
In the past two years or so, he united with Zhao Ji internally, appeased the Qin ministers externally, and even stopped his troops to rest and recuperate externally. All he did was to cultivate his own foundation.
In the two years since Ying Zheng ascended the throne, his efforts have not been in vain. Now, he has no rivals in the Qin court. The next thing he has to do is to restart Qin, the most terrifying war in the world.
Machine, but at this moment, something he had never considered difficult stood in front of him.
Once again, he asked to see the Queen Mother Zhao Ji to ask for the Jingshao matter, but to no avail. Lu Buwei, who was worried, returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"It still doesn't work, sir, is there no other female killer besides Jingli in the net?" Lu Buwei asked Cai Yang for advice.
"Of course there is, but no one is more suitable for this mission than the Amazing Salamander." Cai Yang replied.
At the same time, a trace of doubt arose in his mind. Could it be that he had thought wrongly and that the Prime Minister's power was not as powerful as he had imagined? This discovery cast a shadow in Cai Yang's heart.
"There is trouble. The Queen Mother has no food and salt. For a while, there is no need to think about Jingli." Lu Buwei said.
"Does the Prime Minister know why the Queen Mother is acting like this?" Cai Yang asked.
"There must be some cause and effect, which can make the Queen Mother reject my request. In the entire Qin Kingdom, I am afraid that the only one is the king. However, the king should not have anything to do with this matter." Lu Buwei stroked his long beard and thought.
"It can only be the king." Cai Yang affirmed.
"It seems that this matter should be started from the king." Lu Buwei said.
There has been an accident on Zhao Ji's side. As for the snare, it seems that I need to build up my own strength. This idea has taken root crazily in Lu Buwei's heart as he has been stuck in the past few days.
"Sir, I want to form another force in the net. Do you have any good suggestions?" Lu Buwei asked, having made up his mind.
At this time, he realized that he was not the only one who could influence Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji's power was not enough to rely on.
"The Luowen Killer only asks for orders, no matter what else. If Mr. Xiangguo wants to build his own power, the best way is to promote the people he trusts to the status of Tianzi's first-class killers. In that way, there will naturally be a group of people under his command.
The killer works." Cai Yang said.
"Is it that easy?" Lu Buwei said in surprise.
"Luowang's intelligence agency is very complex, but the killer organization is very simple. However, the problem now is that the number of Tianzi first-class killers is limited. There have never been more than eight, and now there are only vacancies for Zhenri." Cai Yang said.
"Just one person is enough, enough to knock a brick into the trap of killers." Lu Buwei said.
After hearing Cai Ze's suggestion, a candidate emerged in Lu Buwei's mind: Lao Ai.
Xianyang Palace.
"Mr. Xinling's time is running out this time." Ying Zheng said to himself while sitting in the sun.
"Mr. Xinling? Is this what the Prime Minister said last time?" Qing Xi, who was sitting on the steps at the feet of Ying Zheng, turned around and asked.
"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded.
"The Queen Mother agreed?" Qing Xi asked with wandering eyes.
"She should have agreed. Queen Mother, she really has no reason to refuse." Ying Zheng said inexplicably.
"Yeah." Qingxi responded and said nothing more.
But Ying Zheng had a feeling that at that moment, Qing Xi's back, which had always been straight, seemed to collapse when she was sitting on the steps at her feet.
Could it really be you? Ying Zheng looked at Qing Xi who was almost curled up into a ball in front of him, and the speculation in his mind moved a few points towards the definite direction.
"Jing Salamander, I heard from my mother that she is almost the most beautiful female killer in the net. With her taking action, Lord Xinling, who is now addicted to the land of gentleness, has no reason to be lucky."
Ying Zheng said seemingly unintentionally.
"Does your Majesty also want to kill Lord Xinling?" Qingxi, who had almost completely buried Zhanglian in her arms, said in a muffled voice.
"That was a very powerful enemy, but the dead Lord Xinling is naturally more popular than the living one," Ying Zheng said.
"It's still worthwhile to exchange a killer for Lord Xinling." Qing Xi said, but no one could see the look on her face when she said this.
"Do you really think so?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Well, Frightened Salamander, as a weapon in the snare, this is what she should do." Qing Xi said.
"Did you also come here like this back then?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
"It's almost the same, but I should be a little luckier than her." Qing Xi said.
I should be luckier than her. I kill people not just because of my mission. There is still something in Qingxi's heart that she has never said.
"You don't seem to be in a good mood." Ying Zheng stood up, turned to Qing Xi, and looked at the group in front of him.
"No." Qing Xi raised her head and showed a smile.
"Are you really a senior killer of Luowang?" Ying Zheng asked, looking at the face in front of him that was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
"Didn't your Majesty see my swordsmanship? It should be pretty good, right?" Qing Xi replied.
"The swordsmanship is very good, but other things..." Ying Zheng said this and couldn't help but shook his head.
"What happened to the others?" Qingxi asked.
"Many of your habits not only make you look like a senior killer, but also like a young girl." Ying Zheng looked at Qing Xi in front of him and said.
The face was still the same, but Ying Zheng saw a hint of incongruity in it.
"The king is joking. Although I really want to become a girl again, how can I turn back time?" Qing Xi said.
"Time cannot be turned back, but time can deceive people." Ying Zheng said.
"Liar?" Qing Xi murmured.
"However, she can't deceive Gu." Ying Zheng smiled confidently and put his hand on Qing Xi's face.
"Your Majesty, you?" Qing Xi was stunned by Ying Zheng's actions.
"A very beautiful pair of eyes, as dark as ink and as deep as an abyss. Such eyes should not be filled with melancholy." Ying Zheng leaned down, close to Qing Xi, and carefully looked at the pair of eyes that shone like black gems.
"Your Majesty." Qing Xi subconsciously looked away from Ying Zheng, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, but the six scars did not change color at all.
It turns out that they are really fake.
You are the gift that the Queen Mother mentioned, right? Ying Zheng became more and more certain of his judgment.
