In Donghai Patrol Mansion, Ye Teng couldn't help but fell into deep thought after receiving the news that Imperial Master Xu Fu had absconded.
Recalling what Xu Fu had told him before, that the result would be known in a few days, Ye Teng suddenly became enlightened. It turned out that Xu Fu's hint meant that he should escape.
After getting the answer, Ye Teng's face was extremely complicated. He turned and looked to the west. There were his relatives there. He was no more alone than Xu Fu and left as soon as he said he was leaving.
Once he escapes, I am afraid that all the Ye family members in Chang'an City will die without a burial place.
But if he didn't escape, Ye Teng felt that the possibility of him dying a good death was extremely slim. If he really had a way to survive, Xu Fu would not escape privately.
Between life and death, between his family and himself, Ye Teng made a difficult choice. He sighed and turned back to the inner office.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Teng left the Donghai Patrol Mansion with his baggage and flew towards the seaside.
In the end, he chose to protect himself, because he was betting that with Emperor Qin's character, he might not be able to drive out the Ye family.
After Ye Teng flew for a while, he suddenly found a familiar figure in front of him. He was struck by lightning and froze on the spot.
But the visitor said coldly: "My Marquis Anlu, he is carrying something, where are he going?"
The person standing in front of Ye Teng was Emperor Qin. After he learned that Xu Fu had escaped, in addition to ordering the arrest of Fang Xiandao's people, he personally came to the East China Sea and tried to capture Xu Fu back.
Unexpectedly, Xu Fu didn't catch him, but he saw Ye Teng who was about to escape.
Ye Teng hurriedly bowed and saluted and replied: "Your Majesty, I am on a routine patrol at the seaside, but I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me."
Emperor Qin just smiled coldly: "I don't know how I can't help you. You all tried so hard to betray me. You all deserve to die."
After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it down gently, forming a big hand condensed with the power of the master, pressing towards Ye Teng like a sky and the sun.
Ye Teng quickly retreated and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was just confused for a moment."
However, Emperor Qin did not waver at all, and slapped Ye Teng hard on Ye Teng who was unable to dodge.
Ye Teng fell heavily to the ground, feeling like his whole body was falling apart, and he vomited blood in large mouthfuls.
However, Emperor Qin did not let Ye Teng go and drew him in front of him. Ye Teng immediately felt that the spiritual power he had accumulated for many years was being absorbed by Emperor Qin like a dam bursting.
Ye Teng had a look of horror on his face and said inarticulately: "It's hard, no wonder His Majesty insists on our death. It turns out His Majesty has practiced such evil methods."
After saying one sentence, Ye Teng's spiritual power had been completely sucked away. He could no longer muster the power of a master to suppress his injuries. Blood was oozing all over his body, and he lost his breath in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Qin casually threw Ye Teng to the ground. A powerful master of a generation died in such a humiliating manner.
Qin Huang suddenly said: "You will deal with this place, and I will go to the sea to look for it. I don't believe that Xu Fu can really escape from my grasp."
Da Siming emerged from the sky, bowed to Emperor Qin and said, "I obey my orders."
Emperor Qin turned around and flew towards the endless sea.
One day later, Emperor Qin returned to Xianyang Palace with a gloomy face and did not mention anything about Xu Fu.
…
Not long after Emperor Qin returned to the palace, a young eunuch said to him: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Si seeks to see you."
"Xuan."
Later, under the guidance of the young eunuch, Li Si came to the Emperor Qin, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Li Si, pays homage to your Majesty."
Emperor Qin said calmly: "The Prime Minister came here to see me. What do you mean?"
Li Si quickly said: "Regarding the case of Xu Fu, I have followed your Majesty's decree and arrested most of Fang Xiandao and people related to Xu Fu in Chang'an City, and asked your Majesty to judge the case."
Qin Huang hummed lightly: "That's it?"
Li Si immediately said: "As far as I know, the commander of the Black Guards Lin Ze is Xu Fu's personal disciple. If your Majesty wants to trace Xu Fu's whereabouts, why not ask him?"
Emperor Qin narrowed his eyes slightly: "What about the Linze man? Bring him here to see me."
Li Si replied: "Then Lin Ze has been captured by Master Hu Hai and sent to the Black Guard Prison. If your Majesty wants to see him, just send an order to Master Hu Hai."
Emperor Qin called the young eunuch and said, "Go and ask Hu Hai to escort Lin Ze to see me."
Li Si smiled slightly in his heart: Lin Ze, do you think it will be okay if you hide in the Black Guard Prison? Xu Fu betrayed His Majesty. As his disciple, how can you escape this difficulty?
Two quarters of an hour later, after receiving the order from the young eunuch, Hu Hai and the palace guards took Lin Ze out of the prison and headed towards Xianyang Palace.
During this period, Hu Hai couldn't help complaining: "Lin Ze, I advised you to run away, but you didn't run away. Now my father has thought of what to do with you. How will you respond?"
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said: "Now that things have happened, there is no point in talking about that. Now I just want to see if Young Master can help me get through this difficulty. Young Master, there is no need to worry too much, maybe things are not as bad as imagined."
…
In the Hall of Yangxin, Hu Hai and Lin Ze saluted Emperor Qin and said: "My son (the guilty minister) pays homage to my father (Your Majesty)."
Emperor Qin said to Hu Hai: "Pingshen"
He turned to look at Lin Ze, who was wearing a clean prison uniform, and said coldly: "Lin Ze, as Xu Fu's direct disciple, do you know where he went?"
Lin Ze bowed and quickly replied: "The guilty minister really doesn't know."
Emperor Qin snorted coldly: "Did Xu Fu tell you why he betrayed me?"
Lin Ze smiled bitterly and replied: "The guilty minister doesn't know."
Emperor Qin looked sternly and said, "Then why should I keep you? Come, put Lin Ze on death row and execute him on a later date."
Hu Hai was anxious and said quickly: "Father, wait a minute. Although Lin Ze is a disciple of Xu Fu, he usually serves as a close guard for his son's ministers. His relationship with Xu Fu is not very good. Can Father please spare him some time?"
Life?"
Emperor Qin said calmly: "This excuse is not enough."
Seeing that Emperor Qin was unwavering, Hu Hai continued: "My son is willing to guarantee with his life. Lin Ze has nothing to do with this matter. I hope my father will be merciful."
Emperor Qin then looked a little moved and said, "Hu Hai, is this Lin Ze worth what you do?"
Hu Hai paid homage to Emperor Qin and said: "Father, Lin Ze has been under Erchen for eight years. Erchen knows that he is a great talent and his future achievements will be extraordinary. Moreover, he and Erchen are both ministers and friends. Please ask Father."
show mercy."
"Besides, Lin Ze was originally the registered disciple of the Lord of the Dao Palace. He was deeply loved by the Lord of the Dao Palace and was ready to be accepted as a direct disciple after a month of inspection. However, Xu Fu relied on his status as a national master and the power of the Qin Dynasty.
I just snatched it from the hands of the Palace Master."
"Therefore, I ask my father to spare Lin Ze's life. As for whether he wants to exile him to Lingnan for mining or go northwest to build the Great Wall, it all depends on my father's idea."
Emperor Qin was slightly surprised and said: "You mean Lin Ze was once a disciple of the Dao Palace, but what about now?"
Hu Hai turned to Lin Ze and motioned for him to answer.
Although Lin Ze didn't know why Emperor Qin was concerned about this matter, he still replied truthfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the palace master has not terminated the relationship with the guilty minister as a disciple. Naturally, the guilty minister is still his registered disciple."
Emperor Qin suddenly said: "For Hu Hai's sake, I will spare your life first, and someone will come and put Lin Ze on death row. I will think about how to deal with him after a few days."
Immediately afterwards, two palace guards walked into the main hall and escorted Lin Ze out.
But when Lin Ze left, he took a deep look at the expressionless Li Si.
After walking out of the palace, Lin Ze felt relieved. Fortunately, it was just a reprieve and he still had a chance.
