One hundred and seventieth chapters have their own plans
The bright moon in the sky is dim and its light is cold and silent.
The black and gray earth is cool and cold, and seems to have no boundaries.
At this time, in the wasteland, in the middle of an abandoned ruins that had existed for an unknown period of time, stone pillars collapsed and ruins were scattered in the dilapidated palace, and a gap in space suddenly stretched out.
The gap became wider and wider, like a gate, and then a steady stream of black-armored Yin soldiers with neat military appearance and lingering Yin aura poured out.
These Yin soldiers were holding weapons in their hands and lined up neatly, but they made no sound.
There are also horses and chariots derived from Yin energy in the team.
Thousands of Yin soldiers came out from the gap at the other end, and then spread quickly, forming a defense around them.
In the wasteland of the underworld, the cold wind howls and there is no life.
There are only soul crows that feed on the Yin spirits, wandering in the sky in groups.
They were originally the owners of this ancient ruins, but were disturbed by the sudden influx of Yin soldiers, and they flapped their wings and flew into the air together.
The soul crow's body seemed to be made of dense fog, its pupils were dark, and it made a shrill cry like a ghost's cry.
Suddenly, a long spear was projected from the queue of Yin soldiers below, piercing through a soul crow.
Soul Crow's body collapsed into a ball of Yin Qi.
"Sure enough, they are all gathered Yin energy. They have no flesh and blood bodies. Even crows are ghosts."
In the center of the array of Yin soldiers below, a ghost wearing a high crown whispered.
At this time, the remaining Yin Qi of the killed soul crow flowed backwards and fell on one of the Yin soldiers who killed it.
The aura of the Yin soldier actually grew slightly.
"Can Yin spirits absorb each other's dissipated breaths to strengthen themselves?"
Next to the ghost, stood Pei Yu, who had come to the underworld as a general.
The more than three thousand soldiers who can evolve into Yin soldiers are led by Pei Yu.
Through the opened Gate of the Underworld, more Yin spirits and ghosts in Taishan Ghost City are swarming out and entering the underworld.
There was a ghost that let out a shrill howl that shook the soul.
They absorb the cold and cold atmosphere that is everywhere in the underworld, and seem to be very comfortable and excited.
The ghost stood on a chariot and told Pei Yu: "Let's use this as our foothold and explore the surrounding situation first."
"No!" Pei Yu waved his hand.
The more than 3,000 Yin soldiers were immediately divided into ten teams of 100 people, and galloped away in different directions of the ruins to start exploring.
The ghost also got off the chariot and looked around.
After they entered the underworld through the underworld, the ruins they came to were very dilapidated, but huge in scale, with huge collapsed pillars that were more than ten feet high. If it were in the human world, it would be a palace complex even larger than Xianyang Palace.
.
There are also broken incantations and symbols on these underworld buildings.
The ghost stepped forward to check and found that the mantra system was the same as that of the human world. It was an oracle bone inscription from the Yin and Shang Dynasties: "This place in the underworld seems to have a great connection with the human world..."
Not long after, the Yin soldiers who went out to investigate returned one after another:
"Beyond the ruins is a wasteland. Only this ruins stands alone on the wasteland. After preliminary inspection, there is nothing around it."
Pei Yu said: "This ruins is in the shape of a rectangle. Taking the position where we came out as the center, galloping left and right, it is more than ten miles long. Going forward and backward, it is also seven or eight miles long.
Looking from the outside of the ruins, there is a faint glow from the incantation inside the ruins.
The darkness outside the ruins is blocked by light.
Wei Chen has asked some Yin soldiers to spread around and explore the nearby landforms."

Zhao Huaizhong looked through the Kunlun Mirror for a moment.
When I first entered the underworld, I found nothing valuable, so I closed the mirror and returned to Wuying Hall.
In the bedroom, Jiang Ji changed out of the complicated clothes worn by the Queen of Qin during the day.
She only wore a white middle coat and rouge-colored soft shoes with an upturned head. Her three-thousand-green silk hair was loosely gathered into a ponytail behind her head with a black jade-encrusted hairband.
The fat, tight-fitting middle coat tightly wrapped her increasingly plump figure.
Seeing Zhao Huaizhong, Jiang Shu came up to him happily, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty..."
"You have changed your clothes, are you going to take a shower?" Zhao Huaizhong looked at his queen up and down.
Jiang Ji's soft voice should be.
"That's just right." Zhao Huaizhong waved his hand and lifted her into the clear pool for bathing.
Jiang Shu's soft voice echoed in the hall.
In the clear pond, the water waves rise and fall rhythmically.
…
Early the next morning, Zhao Huaizhong went to court.
In the dormitory after he left, Jiang Shu was woken up by her maid: "The queen gave an order yesterday, asking the maid to wake up the queen this morning."
"Yeah." Jiang Shu opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window.
The scorching sun is rising, around eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
She smiled with some relief and got up earlier than usual today.
Fighting against the soreness and fatigue in her body, Jiang Shu got up from the couch, quickly put on an apricot-white dress under the service of the maid, and asked: "Is it appropriate to wear a white dress when I go to see my mother?"
Jiang Shu planned to take advantage of the rare opportunity to get up early to greet Zhao Ji and King Zhuang Xiang.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then tied a silver-white loincloth around her waist, and put a bright red plum blossom on her forehead. The Queen of Qin was dressed exquisitely but also simply. She should not steal Zhao Ji's attention.
Limelight.
Jiang Shu secretly planned in her heart, and hurriedly left Wuying Palace and headed to Zhangtai Palace before she had time to have breakfast.
"It's almost noon, isn't it? Didn't someone send a message yesterday saying that he would come this morning?
Your father and I wanted to wait for you to come and have breakfast together, but we didn't see you showing up until almost noon."
In Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Ji was eating snacks. While eating, she was scolding Jiang Ji, who had just come over. Her face was filled with an expression unique to Granny Diao.
Jiang Shu explained in a low voice like a doormat: "There is still a whole hour before noon...Jiang Shu will remember to be earlier next time."
Zhao Ji sighed, counted on her fingers: "After you and Zheng'er got married, how many times has this come here? Is it ten times?
When I was the Queen of Da Qin, I was not as disrespectful as you."
Jiang Shu peeked at Zhao Ji: "I always get up late in the morning. I feel that it would be more rude to come to greet my father and mother after noon, so I haven't been able to come over."
"Ah."
Zhao Ji sneered: "If you can't get up in the morning, what are you doing that makes you unable to get up and you have to sleep until noon?"
Zhao Ji's eyes were suspicious, and then she saw Jiang Shu's face quickly turning rosy and shy, and suddenly she understood why she couldn't get up.
At this time, Liu Qi's voice came from outside the door: "The king has arrived."
Zhao Huaizhong, dressed in royal robes, came in from the door and winked at Jiang Shu.
He took the time to come over to help Jiang Ji out of the siege. He first sat down next to King Zhuang Xiang, then invited Jiang Ji to come and sit too, and asked, "Is your father feeling better?"
"I feel much better after taking a lot of elixirs sent by Master Mu," said King Zhuang Xiang.
After Zhao Huaizhong and Jiang Ji left, Zhao Ji glanced at King Zhuang Xiang and said lightly: "I don't want to get up early tomorrow morning..."
"?"
King Zhuang Xiang blinked his eyes, not understanding, and said: "Then you should sleep a little longer."
"If you don't want to get up early, you don't want to sleep more." Zhao Ji emphasized.
King Zhuang Xiang realized something: "It seems quite difficult."

Zhao Guo, Handan.
The palace and the main hall are empty.
Under the throne of King Zhao Yan, stood Guo Kai.
"...Prince Dan of Yan has secretly entered Qin."
Guo Kaidao: "I have contacted various countries, and the attitude of the Yan people is the most vague, swinging back and forth. They are waiting and watching, and have not made a decision yet.
Prince Dan visited Qin at this time, probably because he wanted to observe the attitude of the Qin people before deciding whether to participate in the reunification proposed by the king."
"Qi Ren didn't respond either."
Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "I am willing to return the three cities of Jing, Xiang, and Ji that I previously occupied to the Yan people, but they are still unwilling to attack Qin, so I can't blame me for being cruel."
"Guo Kai, please make preparations to set up an ambush and kill Prince Dan when he leaves Qin and returns to Yan. Then the news spreads that the people of Qin knew that Yan was going to join forces with Zhao and killed Prince Yan.
I don’t believe that King Xi of Yan will cooperate with the Qin people even if he knows that Prince Dan has been killed.”
Zhao Yan said: "The unification of the five kingdoms cannot be concealed from the people of Qin. In this case, it is better to spread the news as soon as possible, which will also be a deterrent to the people of Qin."
"If Prince Yan had not reached an agreement with the people of Qin, he would have cooperated with Zhao. Wouldn't it be a pity to intercept him at this time?" Guo Kai said.
"Prince Yan is just a pawn. Whether he agrees to join forces with Zhao to attack Qin is not important. What matters is what King Yan thinks." Zhao Yan said gloomily.
Guo Kai nodded and went to make arrangements.
In the palace, Zhao Yan looked far away and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Hui Ji."
From the back hall, a woman walked out after hearing the voice. She was the beloved concubine that Zhao Yan had been obsessed with in recent years: "Why does the king call Hui Ji?"
"Go and inform the demon clan that I want to plot against Qin. Ask the demon master if he is willing to cooperate with me?"
Hui Ji was surprised and said: "The king is joking, how can Hui Ji inform the demon clan?"
On the ancient clock hanging beside Zhao Yanshen, there were symbols that shimmered:
"You came back from the wedding last year, and a vague fragrance gradually appeared on your body, which made people addicted to it. Don't you know why? Go ahead and tell the Demon Lord the news and see how she responds to me.
If you dare to deny it, I will kill you now."
Hui Ji's expression changed several times. After a moment, a hint of dark green appeared in her eyes, and immediately demonic energy overflowed from her body and flew away into the sky.
Zhao Yan raised the corners of his mouth, his face obscured by the shadows in the palace: "This time, I not only want to plot against Qin, but also want to destroy the country of Qin."

Xianyang.
Jingqian Palace.
Prince Dan sat in the palace and took a bamboo slip handed out by his attendant.
"The news that the prince has asked the ministers to pay attention to is not difficult to check. Almost everyone in Xianyang knows it. Prince, please take a look."
Prince Dan responded and took the bamboo slip:
"...On the outskirts of Xianyang, there are four animal houses for breeding black-faced dogs. Starting from the year before last, Zhao Huaizhong, who was the prince of Qin at the time, sent people into the mountains to capture wild black-faced dogs and raise them..."
The attendant smiled and said: "Before the Lord of Qin took over the power of Qin, as the prince of a country, he actually personally ordered the capture of the black-faced man for livestock breeding."
"It is said that at that time he also forced some Qin troops to participate in entering the mountains to capture the black-faced man.
The scene of Da Qin's general Yong arresting the black-faced man in the mountains makes Wei Chen laughable when he thinks about it."
Prince Dan glanced at the attendant: "What's so funny.
In two years, the number of black-faced men who searched the Qin Kingdom was only two thousand, but now the number has doubled.
Starting this year, the Qin people distributed black-faced cubs in several counties near Xianyang to encourage breeding.
Raising black-faced men was one of the means he used to strengthen Qin."
Prince Dan's face was gloomy, and he continued to pay attention to the messages on the bamboo slips in his hands:
"As early as four years ago, Mu Yangjing joined forces with Qin Chu to study fruit tree planting. As of this year, Qin is distributing fruit tree seeds throughout the country...
When the Zheng Guo Canal is completed... the grain output of Qin will be more than six times greater than before. No wonder people from all over the world are entering Qin."
"Prince, the time has come for Lord Qin to summon us to Xianyang Palace."
A quarter of an hour later, Prince Dan, led by his attendants, walked into the Xianyang Palace and saw Zhao Huaizhong again.
The moment he entered the palace, Prince Dan felt complicated.
The last time I saw him, the Lord of Qin in front of me was still the Crown Prince of Qin. Now he is the Lord of Qiang Qin, a Saint of the Three Realms.
An idea suddenly came to Prince Dan's mind, and it quickly became clear - he could use Qin's power to defeat Zhao first.
However, once the attack on Zhao is successful, the Yan people must first get rid of the leader of Qin before they directly face the powerful Qin.
