The end of the twenty-seventh year of the Qin Dynasty.
Or should we say, the end of the fifth year of the First Emperor.
Something happened that shocked the world.
Or should I say, it's actually two pieces.
The first thing is that the greatest swordsman of the Qin Dynasty, Sword Master Genie, who had been protecting the First Emperor for more than twenty years, defected and fled the country.
And the second thing...
In Handan County, Handan City, a shady conversation was taking place in the mansion of a wealthy family.
"Master Guo is really good at it, tsk tsk tsk, this look, this figure, hahaha~"
A rich man in splendid clothes, gold and jade, stretched out his hand to lift the chin of a delicate beauty, and scanned the woman's body from top to bottom with a look like he was looking at goods.
"..."
The woman's eyes were empty, her chin was pulled, and she didn't show any pain, as if she was a dead thing.
Her body was wrapped in a layer of translucent blue brocade, and her figure was convex and concave. This hazy visual effect on her fair skin added to her endless allure.
"Oh, Mr. Guo, this beauty is so beautiful, but she is so uncomfortable."
The rich man waved his hands dissatisfied and looked at Mr. Guo.
Mr. Guo is none other than the former Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, Guo Kai.
Because of the policies of unifying writing, unifying currency, and unifying weights and measures, Guo Kai is the big merchant who took the lead in implementing them in Zhao District, and he is now in the spotlight.
His mustache is neatly combed and shiny, and he is dressed in precious Sichuan brocade, which ordinary people have never heard of.
Guo Kai clicked his tongue, frowned and said, "I'm not satisfied with this. I'm afraid you won't be able to find my products in Zuimenglou or Qiaomeng Pavilion. This is absolutely pure."
The rich man is a wealthy businessman from Qi State, and the two of them are obviously discussing a deal about selling beautiful women.
And the resources Guo Kai has come from——
"In the empire's annual harvest celebration, countless sons of good families are selected from all over the country to go to Xianyang to perform singing and dancing talents for His Majesty the Emperor. I know that Mr. Guo has great means, and Handan is the most rich in beauties. I'm afraid some of them have to be given away.
All the goods given to His Majesty the Emperor belong to you~"
"Stop, don't say this nonsense."
Guo Kai cut off the other party's words in time and said angrily: "In this case, this business between you and me is over."
"Hey~ Master Guo!"
At the end of September in the seventeenth year of the Qin Dynasty, Lu Yan, the state counselor, held a harvest celebration in Handan City and performed a sword dance for the people in person. This greatly stabilized the people of Zhao and laid a good foundation for the Qin State to lay down the Qin Law in Zhao.
Base.
September is the harvest season.
The first day of October is the New Year of Qin.
Combining the two, after the empire unified the world, it established an annual harvest celebration. It was intended to commemorate the national teacher Lu Yan, and also included the ideal of happiness for all people and the vision of wishing peace and prosperity to the country and the people.
The first celebration from the first to the second year of the First Emperor was personally supervised by Jingpingjun Nongyu.
However, this celebration has now become a shortcut for many powerful people to use the excuse of His Majesty the Emperor to rob civilian girls and force them into prostitution.
And Guo Kai is at home in the interface of Handan.
Just when Guo Kai and the wealthy man broke up on bad terms, the Guo Mansion, the leading house in Handan City, welcomed a shocking murderer.
Boom~
The luxurious solid wood door exploded into debris, and the flying wood chips turned into sharp blades, turning the servants guarding the Guo Mansion into hedgehogs.
"Who?! Ah—"
"Where did the madman come from? How dare he be released here—"
"kill!"
The servants raised by the Guo Mansion rushed out noisily with weapons in hand. In the blink of an eye, there was a bright sword light, and rows of decapitated corpses sprayed blood like a fountain.
In the rain of blood all over the sky, a figure walked slowly.
"Where is the famous sword? Where did the fame come from? They are all made of rotten bones and corpses. After thousands of years of hard work, there is no choice. I would rather pick up the crown, look at the excitement and sigh, feel a hundred emotions and feel sad, and feel the thunder and sorrow."
Murderous aura, sword aura!
This hoarse and low voice is like a soul seeking life. The swordsman from hell is about to collect all these evil monsters in the human world.
Click~
The three-foot sword came out and the ground was thundered.
In the huge Guo Mansion, hundreds of guards screamed for death, which was deafening, but fell silent in a very short period of time.
"Ahhhhh~ Hero, don't kill me, don't kill me~"
Guo Kai collapsed on the ground and kept moving his butt backwards. His gorgeous clothes were torn as they rubbed on the ground, and there was faint liquid seeping out between his buttocks.
Only the bloody sword remained in his pupils, and only one voice remained in his mind: I want to live!
"I feel insulted by killing you with such a sword."
The swordsman spoke.
He spoke!
There is hope if you speak. With my mouth, I can talk about life and death, and money can make people go around. Yes, if he speaks, I still have a chance!
"My lord, in this way, I——"
The swordsmanship of Ben Lei is pure and clear.
Guo Kai's words died in his throat, and a big head rose into the sky.
The swordsman flicked his wrist, and all the blood on the sword was gone, leaving no trace.
Thumb thump thump~
"Hurry, hurry, the thief is inside!"
"Surround us and we must not let the assassin escape!"
The army was surrounding Guo Mansion. When the swordsman heard the noise outside, he gave a disdainful smile. Then he used Qinggong and evacuated elsewhere.
The Handan murder case shocked the world.
…
Every famous sword in the world has its own pride, the sword energy it inspires, and the wounds it leaves behind are all unique in the eyes of those who know swords.
The murderer of the Handan murder case did not hide his identity at all.
Ben Lei Sword Master, robbery.
He is from the Qin State, and he was once Lu Yan's subordinate. But now, he is openly killing people in the Qin State. This is a great violation of the national law.
The fact that Jie was able to kill people calmly in Handan City and then evacuate showed that he had the support of the big shots in the Qin State.
Preceding this incident, Jingpingjun Nongyu, the widow of the national teacher Lu Yan, stole the Changhong Sword in Yongcheng under the pretext of worshiping her husband, and openly committed treason.
In an instant, the whole empire was in an uproar.
…
"Defection? Defection!"
Ying Zheng's roar echoed in the palace hall, and the information was torn into pieces by him. Paper scraps flew in chaos, and many of them landed on his own bun.
"Gai Nie, stay by my side for twenty years, twenty years! Defection~"
"Nong Yu, Nong Yu, Lu Yan's contribution to our Great Qin is as great as the sun and the moon. As his head wife, he insulted the ancestors of our Great Qin and betrayed the country~"
"Ah ha~"
In a rage, Ying Zheng held the Tianwen Sword and split the desk in half with one strike.
Suddenly, he turned around, his narrow eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, stared at His Highness and asked: "Li Si, the net was used to hunt down Gai Nie. Have you caught him?"
The ministers were silent and trembling.
Li Si, who was now Prime Minister Zuo, swallowed secretly, trotted to the center of the hall, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have sent Commander Zhao Gao and his Six Sword Slaves, as well as three hundred dragon and tiger cavalry dispatched by Your Majesty personally.
Presumably at this time, Gai Nie has been captured by Commander Zhao Gao."
Uh-huh~
The Tianwen Sword was returned to its sheath, Ying Zheng calmed down and breathed, and the rise and fall of his chest gradually subsided, "Gai Nie defected, Nong Yu defected, what about the rebellious forces of the Six Kingdoms."
"Your Majesty is very good at predicting things. As soon as Jingping and Nong Yufu defected, rumors started to spread all over the world. It was said that ten years ago, the national advisor Lu Yan died mysteriously in Daqin. It was your Majesty who did it secretly. Otherwise, no one could harm him.
Got it, Lu Yan."
Li Si was halfway through speaking and glanced at Ying Zheng above, before continuing, "This rumor is not trivial. The Qin Dynasty has been unified for only five years, and there are still..."
"That's enough." Ying Zheng suddenly waved his sleeves and walked down the hall, "After capturing Gai Nie in the net, we will hunt down Nong Yu and everyone related to him, life or death."
