In the Qin Palace in Xianyang, Ying Zheng had just finished handling today's memorial.

Due to the appearance of snow paper, it was indeed easier for Ying Zheng to review memorials every day.

Moreover, the Qin Dynasty has not yet unified the world, and he does not have so many memorials to review.

Just when he was about to go to rest, a secret guard was outside requesting an audience.

Ying Zheng nodded, and the servant on the side went to notify him to come in.

"Join Your Majesty!"

The shadow secret guard was half-kneeling on the ground, with his hands clasped and his head bowed, not daring to look at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked all the servants to go down.

The information of the Shadow Guard needs to be kept confidential, and these irrelevant personnel are not qualified to stay here.

Seeing that everyone else was retreating, the Shadow Guard immediately handed over a piece of information.

Ying Zheng opened it and looked at it, then narrowed his eyes.

"Have you found his whereabouts?"

"We have sent people to investigate, but nothing has been found. The other party must have changed their route many times."

The members of the Shadow Guard lowered their heads, as if they were afraid that Ying Zheng would be angry because of this.

"Get down!"

Ying Zheng's tone was very calm, as if it was no big deal.

After he exited the hall, Ying Zheng looked at the information on the table and showed a disdainful smile.

"Mr. Changping, are you so afraid that I will send someone to kill you? I still think highly of you!"

Ying Zheng muttered to himself.

The person he asked the secret guard to investigate was none other than Lord Changping, who had left Qin and returned to Chu.

Although he did not issue an order to assassinate Lord Changping, the whereabouts of the other party must be in his hands.

He wanted to know when Lord Changping left the territory of Qin and when he returned to Chu.

However, judging from the replies from officials and spies from various places on the route from Qin to Chu, there was no trace of Changping Jun and his party.

The other party disappeared shortly after leaving Xianyang.

On the one hand, Ying Zheng felt ridiculous about Chang Pingjun's cowardice, and on the other hand, he was very angry at his behavior.

He didn't care whether Lord Changping would return to the Chu Kingdom. What he cared about was whether Lord Changping would make some small moves in his territory of Qin.

In recent years, Great Qin has adopted a policy of recuperation and cessation of war under the advice of Su Qingyun and others. If Lord Changping wanted to cause trouble and make some unseemly actions, he would also feel disgusted.

Lord Changping's status in Da Qin could be said to be lower than that of one person and higher than ten thousand people before. Therefore, he must have been in Da Qin for a long time. Even if he wants to leave Da Qin, he will never give up so easily.

As for what his plan is, Ying Zheng has not been able to find out yet.

It's just that all the officials who had a relationship with Lord Changping were checked by him, and all the Chu faction forces were no longer in key positions, and they were all idle posts with names but no power.

The sequelae left by Chang Pingjun still need to be cleared up slowly.

However, Ying Zheng didn't pay too much attention to these things. It can be seen from Changping Jun's actions that he did not have the confidence to confront him head-on, so he could only act in secret.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so careful along the way.

However, Ying Zheng still regarded Lord Changping as Qin's biggest enemy on its way to annexing other countries and unifying the world.

The Wei State has become the last force and is no match for the Qin Dynasty. The Zhao State is now not as strong as before. In the last battle at Hanguguan, its vitality was severely damaged, and its general Li Mu was killed on the battlefield.

The king of Yan State is fatuous and incompetent, and Yan Dan, who is somewhat capable, is not in power, so there is no need to worry.

The State of Qi must be resolved in the end, but the King of Qi has no foresight and no will to resist Qin.

Therefore, in comparison, the Chu State has a vast territory, and its nobles have a large number of private soldiers. When mobilized, they can definitely raise an army of more than 200,000 people.

It is definitely very difficult to destroy the Chu State.

Lord Changping is not an ordinary person. If he fully controls the power of Chu and inherits the throne, he will definitely be the biggest obstacle to Qin's destruction of Chu.

When Ying Zheng received the information about Changping Lord, Changping Lord arrived at a farm stronghold on the border of Wei State after so many days of traveling.

Tian Guang and the six heads of the farmhouse came to greet their group.

"grown ups!"

Changping Jun looked at the many master farmers and finally felt relieved.

"I finally feel relieved to see you. Let's go in first."

Mi Lian and others went ahead to pay their respects, while Lord Changping and everyone from the farm family went to the hall to discuss matters.

"Sir, what happened this time? Why did you suddenly want to return to Chu? Has our plan been exposed?"

Tian Guang asked immediately.

The letter from Lord Changping asking him to come to Wei to meet him did not explain the situation in detail.

"It was Su Qingyun who found me. He already knew that we sent people to take away the sacred rice during the Five-Nation Alliance. And with evidence, the Queen Mother Huayang also sided with them. Because of his threat, I had to give up.

The layout that has been operating in Qin for so long will be returned to Chu first."

Chang Pingjun also sighed.

"It's Su Qingyun again! He opposes us everywhere, and my farm family's vitality has been severely damaged because of him!"

Tian Guang really doesn't like Su Qingyun at all.

Since the birth of Xueyue City, the Nong family and Tianwai Tian have always had a grudge. Even though it was indeed Tian Hu's problem at the beginning, the Nong family did not provoke each other again after that.

It was Tianwaitian who kept sabotaging their plans, and now the two can be said to be incompatible.

The six hall masters stood silently.

Among them, Tian Meng from Lieshan Hall and Tian Hu from Chiyou Hall looked very ugly.

Tian Meng suffered a loss at the hands of Tianwaitian, and almost died at the hands of Xue Yue Sword Immortal, so naturally he hated them deeply.

Tian Hu also hated them because of Tian Meng's relationship.

Tian Zhong, the leader of Gonggong Hall, had just become the leader of the hall, and he was also devoted to the Tian family and shared their hatred.

And Chen Sheng had a lot of hatred towards Tianwaitian because of his master's death.

The Zhu family and Situ Wanli were calmer in comparison.

They have not had much dealings with Tianwaitian, because they have no chance to get involved in these matters.

Situ Wanli had defected to Su Qingyun a long time ago, and it was he who leaked the news about the Five Kingdoms' attack on Qin.

As a gambler, he had long discovered that what Tian Guang was doing now was tantamount to pulling chestnuts out of the fire.

As Lord Changping rebels against the Qin Dynasty, the peasant family will fall into a situation of eternal disaster.

Don't look at the 100,000 disciples of the peasant family now, which is a huge number, but to be honest, they are just some martial arts disciples, which are incomparable with the regular army. And Situ Wanli will not take such a risk and lead his disciples to serve as Lord Changping.

Work hard.

The meaning of the existence of farmers has long since deviated from Shennong’s original intention.

What's more, he and the Zhu family were ostracized because they were not disciples of the Tian family, and they were not willing to take over many things. The Tian family almost had the monopoly within the farmhouse.

The two hall masters felt inferior when facing other hall masters.

Naturally, I don't feel good about it either.

So when Tian Guang said this, the two of them just looked at each other without saying much. Anyway, they would not listen to any opinions.

"Sir, actually there is some bad news recently that we haven't had time to tell you yet."

At this time Tian Guang thought of something and hesitated a little.

"What bad news? Did you encounter any difficulties in Chu State?"

After hearing Tian Guang's words, Changping Jun looked at everyone and found that everyone had a tangled look on their face.

"It's not us, it's Shendao who has a problem."

Tian Guang thought about it for a while, and finally sighed and said.

After hearing this, Mr. Changping immediately stood up from his seat, his face flushed with anxiety.

"What's going on? What's wrong with Shendao?"

"The yield per mu of the sacred rice we brought from the Qin State is indeed amazing, but it is not as high as the Qin State, with an yield of more than 300 to less than 400 jins per mu. Although compared to the previous grains, the yield per mu is more.

Quite a lot, but far from reaching the yield of one thousand catties per mu."

All the farmers present nodded their heads.

They admit that these are very rare high-yield grains, but they are not as high-yielding as rumored.

Except for Tian Guang, who had been with Mr. Chang Ping before, he knew that there must be something wrong with the divine rice seeds. Everyone else thought that the yield per mu had been exaggerated.

Hearing the news brought by Tian Guang, Mr. Changping felt a surge of energy and blood, his whole vision went dark, and he fell backwards.
