After sending Tang San away, apart from replenishing and polishing the true energy in his body, what Lin Ze did most every day was look north at Chang'an.
The premonition given to him by "Knowing the Destiny" is getting stronger day by day, as if the world will collapse in the next moment, but like constipation, the future is delayed.
Every day, some news would come back from Chang'an, and even Huang Banban began to take risks to send news to Shu, but most of them were insignificant news. Only the mysterious deaths of three doctors at the Imperial Hospital made him more determined.
Lin Ze's original conjecture.
Lin Ze did not wait for the news of the great changes in Chang'an, but waited for the news of Hu Hai's return.
Hearing that Hu Hai was about to return with his guards, Lin Ze immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more at ease.
In any case, once something big happens in Chang'an, Hu Hai will be a flag, and only he is qualified to fight for it.
If Hu Hai could not come back in time from outside, even if the sky collapsed, Lin Ze could only watch and miss the opportunity.
As for using swords and soldiers, that is even more of a joke. Without Hu Hai coming forward as the prince of the empire, let alone 60,000 troops, even 160,000, Lin Ze would not dare to act rashly at this time.
The 200,000 imperial troops in Chang'an City alone could easily destroy him, not to mention that there were two grandmasters guarding Chang'an.
This is also the reason why Lin Ze must rush Hu Hai back.
If he really misses this opportunity, Lin Ze will fall into a very passive situation.
No matter how outsiders thought Fu Su was a virtuous man, it was absolutely impossible for Lin Ze to put his life in the hands of others and let them be manipulated.
…
Two days later, Lin Ze personally led a group of officials from the Governor's Mansion to greet Hu Hai at the city gate.
From a distance, I could see Hu Hai leading the way, running wildly, roaring towards him with more than a hundred guards, until he was less than a hundred meters away from the city gate, he reined in his horse and slowed down, barely stopping in front of Lin Ze.
Hu Hai shouted loudly: "Lin Ze, this young master is back."
Lin Ze was the first to salute and said: "We sincerely welcome the Governor back to the mansion." Other officials followed suit.
Hu Hai laughed, jumped off his horse and said, "No need to be polite, please get up."
The moment Hu Hai jumped off his horse, Lin Ze discovered that Hu Hai's martial arts cultivation had already exceeded the sixth level of martial arts. He couldn't help but think to himself: I thought Hu Hai's talk about training martial arts was a refusal, but now I see it, it should be true.
.
Hu Hai's breakthrough to the sixth level is a good thing for Lin Ze. It should be noted that the Qin Dynasty relied on martial arts to build a country and attached great importance to martial arts. If Hu Hai had a sixth level cultivation and was so young, he would be more likely to be accepted by officials and ascend to a high position.
There are a few more possibilities, isn’t that a good thing?
After Hu Hai dismounted, he walked up to Lin Ze, patted his shoulder and said, "Lin Ze, you have done a great job in managing this thousand-mile land for me."
A smile appeared on Lin Ze's face and he said calmly: "This matter is not my fault alone, but the joint contribution of all of you."
Hu Hai laughed loudly and said: "Lin Ze, you are right. You all have contributed, and I naturally know it. Now that I am back, of course I have to thank you all. In the evening, I will hold a banquet at the Governor's Mansion.
, Is it okay if everyone doesn’t get drunk and don’t go home?”
I don't know who took the lead and shouted "Okay", and other officials agreed: "Thank you very much, Master."
A happy smile appeared on Hu Hai's face. He glanced at Lin Ze specifically and then said to everyone: "I have good news for everyone. This young master has broken through to the sixth level of martial arts."
Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, everyone including Chen Ping showed surprise on their faces and said, "Congratulations, young master, for your success in martial arts."
An official who was good at flattering others said: "As far as I know, the young master is only in his early years. It is really rare for such a young sixth-level martial artist."
Only Lin Ze kept a calm smile on his face and said: "Congratulations, sir. You are tired from traveling, so you should go back to the Governor's Mansion to rest first."
Hu Hai was stunned. Lin Ze's reaction was wrong. He had broken through to the sixth level of martial arts. Why did he behave so mediocrely? Shouldn't he be surprised and then feel annoyed that he couldn't break through?
Could it be that he felt embarrassed, so he pretended to be indifferent and wanted to avoid this matter? This is not possible. His martial arts cultivation has been surpassing my master for more than ten years, and it is time for me to surpass him.
Hu Hai looked at Lin Ze quietly and said seriously: "Lin Ze, I am at the sixth level of martial arts."
Lin Ze nodded equally seriously: "Yes, I understand."
Hu Hai...
Rolling his eyes, Hu Hai pretended to be serious and said: "Lin Ze, in fact, it is not difficult to break through the sixth level of martial arts. You don't have to worry too much. I will pass on my experience to you later, and you will definitely be able to break through to the sixth level of martial arts.
Do not be discouraged."
When Chen Ping saw this, he quickly reminded in a low voice: "Sir, you have reached the peak of the sixth rank of military advisor."
Peak level six? Ha, aren't you being funny?
Hu Hai moved toward Lin Ze and felt a strong aura coming over him, making him feel suffocated.
Hu Hai felt confused. He was really at the peak of the sixth grade. He had only left Shudu for more than three months. Lin Ze, who was at the peak of the fifth grade, was already at the peak of the sixth grade?
So was he gone for three months, or three years?
As Hu Hai remained silent, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent for a while.
After a while, Hu Hai smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, Lin Ze, your martial arts progress is really fast." Then he quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, Lin Ze, please hurry up and let me rush back to the capital of Shu.
,What do you mean?"
Lin Ze coughed lightly and said, "This is a serious matter, so you should go back home first and then talk about it."
Hu Hai immediately took the opportunity to step down: "Let's go back to my hometown with my son."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked forward. Hu Hai just wanted to leave that embarrassing place as soon as possible. How could Lin Ze, a monster like him, reach the peak of the sixth rank?
After Hu Hai returned home, Lin Ze dismissed the others and asked a few guards to guard the door, and met with Hu Hai alone.
Hu Hai realized at this time that Lin Ze had asked him to come back because he might have something important to do. He couldn't help but ask: "Lin Ze, what is it that makes you take this seriously?"
Lin Ze said with a serious face: "I recently made a fortune telling that something big is going to happen in the world, and it is closely related to the young master, so I asked someone to call the young master back."
Facing Hu Hai, Lin Ze would definitely not say directly, "I have a hunch that there is something wrong with the guy in Chang'an, so you have to be prepared for something."
What if Hu Hai gets excited and runs back to Chang'an?
Although there is a high probability that there will be no problem for Hu Hai to run back to Chang'an, and he may even be close to the water, but what if Emperor Qin is too jealous and does not give him a chance?
The safest way Lin Ze could think of was to wait and see what happens in Shu.
If he couldn't beat Emperor Qin, how could he beat Fusu? Why should he take the risk? Lin Ze was more than 90% sure that he could defeat Fusu with Hu Hai, so he didn't want to take the risk.
There was still insufficient information, and Lin Ze could not judge what would happen if Hu Hai returned to Chang'an at this time.
As for "knowing destiny", I'm sorry, what you know is your own. If you want to know other people's, Lin Ze has to learn "defying destiny", but Lin Ze has never planned to learn it, because this secret skill is fatal.
That's right, "Knowing the Destiny" consumes Lin Ze's Qi and blood. At most, the Qi will be seriously injured, which is about it. "Defying the Destiny" consumes the life span.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Ze would not want to risk his own life to gain a future for others.
Hu Hai thought for a while and said with a serious face: "Then what should I do?"
Lin Ze replied: "What the young master has to do is nothing more than two things. One, during this period, stay in the capital of Shu and never go out again."
"Second, since the young master has broken through to the sixth level of martial arts, you should write a letter to your teacher, Master Zhao, to express your regards and report the good news."
Officially, there are only two grandmasters left in Da Qin. If Hu Hai can use the master-disciple relationship with Zhao Gao to gain his support, he will basically be a sure winner.
Among other things, Lin Ze knew that Zhao Gao was in charge of the Xianyang Palace garrison, and at least half of the imperial army was under his control.
In this regard, Li Si, who only mastered a part of the black guards, was far from his opponent.
Although Hu Hai didn't know why Lin Ze planned such a plan, the habit accumulated over the years made him naturally follow it. In his eyes, Lin Ze would at least not harm him.
