After Li Si's rebellion was put down, he learned his lesson and began to delve into some of the imperial psychology left by Emperor Qin.
During this period of time, Hu Hai has undoubtedly grown a lot. At least he has realized that as a qualified emperor, he needs to learn to be forbearing, suspicious, and to control balance...
After Lin Ze killed Zhao Gao, in Hu Hai's view, the balance of Qin was completely broken, and no one could check Lin Ze.
Influenced by the study of emperors, Hu Hai no longer fully trusted Lin Ze as before, but regarded him as an imaginary enemy, forbearing and guarding against him.
If the death of Zhao Gao only brought fear and precaution to Hu Hai, then the death of Xiong Xin brought Hu Hai a deep sense of crisis.
The bad precedent set by Xiang Ji in killing the king and establishing oneself deeply stimulated Hu Hai.
No matter how cowardly and incompetent Xiong Xin is, no matter how in name only, and even Hu Hai despises him in his heart, he has to admit that the other party is indeed a king.
According to the information Hu Hai received, Xiang Ji's status in the Chu State was almost equal to Lin Ze's status in the Qin State, both of which were dominated by one family.
After Xiong Xin's incident happened, Hu Hai carefully considered that if Lin Ze really wanted to rebel like Xiang Ji, he would be totally powerless to resist.
Although Lin Ze did not deliberately take power, Hu Hai could feel that as long as he died, Lin Ze would be able to control Qin with a little effort.
Although Lin Ze has always been loyal, who can guarantee that he will remain loyal?
As an emperor, how could Hu Hai put all his hopes on Lin Ze's loyalty?
Hu Hai, shrouded in crisis, began to desperately think of ways to resolve the crisis.
Until he accidentally opened the futon in the back hall of Yangxin Hall and found three pieces of paper underneath, which clearly recorded how ordinary warriors used living warriors to increase their cultivation and successfully break through to become a master.
These three pieces of paper were originally the results of experiments presented by Xu Fu to Emperor Qin, in order to cultivate a large number of "artificial masters" in a short period of time for Emperor Qin to absorb and practice.
But the masters cultivated by this method were far from meeting Emperor Qin's requirements.
The spiritual thoughts are too weak, and there are too few to absorb; too many resources are consumed; too few people can be cultivated at one time; the cycle, which can be as short as one year or as long as three years, is also too long for Emperor Qin.
Emperor Qin felt that this method was too slow, so he decisively put it away and adopted another more drastic and quick method.
This method was not looked down upon by Emperor Qin, but to Hu Hai, who dreamed of breaking through to become a master, it was nothing short of a rare treasure.
Hu Hai, who repeatedly confirmed that he was not hallucinating, knelt down on the futon several times in excitement and shouted: Father, bless you.
After that, Hu Hai began to use the power he controlled to secretly transport warriors to the palace for him to practice.
Hu Hai did not dare to go too far. In his opinion, the palace was full of meticulous work. What if Lin Ze found out about this and took advantage of it?
Hu Hai did not get carried away by the beautiful vision he imagined, but slowly improved himself.
For this reason, Hu Hai, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to take control of the court, gave up his original plan and allowed Chen Ping to take charge of the court while paralyzing Lin Ze to prevent him from discovering anything unusual.
When all of this went smoothly without Lin Ze's knowledge, Hu Hai still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Until today, Lin Ze directly broke into his process of practicing evil methods and even pointed it out without any concealment.
Hu Hai thought that Lin Ze would be furious, reprimand him, or even take action against him, nipping the danger in the bud.
After all, Hu Hai has known Lin Ze for more than ten years, and his personality has always been like this.
In the end, Lin Ze just asked an incomprehensible question and left without staying too much or even looking at him.
This is completely unacceptable to the arrogant Hu Hai. I regard you as my enemy, but you actually ignore me?
That’s not true!
Hu Hai, whose mentality was broken, just sat there in a daze until Huang Banban walked in. Seeing this scene, he asked with a shocked face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
This exclamation immediately brought Hu Hai back to his senses.
The much mature Hu Hai quickly stabilized his mood and returned to normal.
"Huang Banban, I don't care what method you use, from now on you must send a warrior to the palace every day. The higher the level of cultivation, the better," Hu Hai immediately had a plan and ordered.
Lin Ze had already broken it anyway, so what's the point of keeping it a secret? It's better to find a way to successfully practice this secret method as soon as possible and break through to the master level.
As for Lin Ze's "disdain", Hu Hai can only keep it in mind and look down on me? Sooner or later, I will surprise you.
Upon hearing this, Huang Banban said with a hesitant look on his face: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to find warriors with high martial arts skills. As far as I know, half a year ago, all the idle sixth-grade warriors in Guanzhong seemed to have disappeared.
"
Hu Hai frowned and said unexpectedly: "If there is no sixth-grade warrior, then fifth-grade warrior. If there is no fifth-grade warrior, then fourth-grade warrior. Can't you find a fourth-grade warrior?"
"If I remember correctly, my father recruited warriors to build the Afang Palace, and there were many fourth- and fifth-grade warriors in it. Why don't you think of a way to do this?"
"I obey," Huang Banban responded quickly.
When he saw the haggard corpse on the ground, Huang Banban couldn't help but worry: "Is there really no other problem with the secret technique that your Majesty practices?"
Hu Hai's face quickly turned cold and he scolded: "How can you peep into my vagina? Huang Jing, are you going to be arrogant because of your favor?"
Huang Banban quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I don't dare. Please forgive me for trespassing."
Seeing Huang Banban's frightened look, Hu Hai's face softened a little. Remembering that he had always been loyal to him, he snorted coldly and said: "I will forgive you for your first offense. If there is a next time, I will forgive you."
Don't be gentle, get out of here."
Huang Banban had a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and leaned over to retreat.
…
Lin Ze, who knew his own path clearly, did not stay in Chang'an for long. Instead, he hurried back to Hangu Pass and stepped into the courtyard where Mo Daofu lived.
Mo Daofu was very depressed during this period, because Lin Ze received two batches of magic stones one after another, and he didn't show any intention of letting him go.
According to the original agreement, Lin Ze should have released him after taking the "ransom".
Although as a prisoner, staying by Lin Ze's side, Mo Daofu's life was not too bad, but compared to freedom, it was far different.
Although Xianggui thought so, he didn't dare to ask Mo Daofu to ask Lin Ze because he was worried that Lin Ze would choose to "refuse the vote".
It is often so helpless to control life and death in the hands of others.
Lin Ze suddenly appeared, and Mo Daofu, who was thinking wildly, jumped up and said incoherently: "Your Excellency, I, no, hello, Your Excellency."
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm here to discuss something with you."
Modoofu took a deep breath and said, "Please give me your instructions."
"Have you ever thought about lifting your bonds and regaining your freedom?" Lin Ze asked casually.
Even in his wildest dreams, Modolf almost blurted out, but then thought about it, could he be testing me on purpose?
"It's actually quite nice to stay with you," Modolf replied sincerely for the sake of safety.
"Really?" Lin Ze asked noncommittally, shook his head and said, "I originally planned to let you go back, but since you don't want to, forget it, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Modoofu's eyes were fixed and he wanted to slap himself, and then he said cautiously: "Actually, I want to go back to Byzantium to visit my family and old friends. If you are willing to let me go, it would be better to let me go."
Lin Ze tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's not impossible to let you go, it's just a small test that requires your participation."
Mo Daofu looked confused and said: "What test?"
Lin Ze said with a smile on his face: "This test is called to see if you can abscond. As long as you can pass this test, I will let you go immediately and will never regret it."
Hearing this, Mo Daofu felt indescribable joy in his heart and asked excitedly: "Do you really mean what you said?"
As soon as he asked the question, Modoofu regretted it and quickly said, "Please give me your instructions."
Lin Ze didn't pay too much attention and said: "I will leave here in a moment, and you will guard this pass. Within a month, no matter what happens, I will not appear, even if the pass encounters a crisis
, it all depends on you to solve it."
"As long as you can persist for one month, I will let you go immediately."
That's it? Modolf was stunned. This test was too simple.
"What, you're not happy?" Lin Ze asked with a worried look on his face when Mo Daofu didn't reply.
Modolf shook his head first, then realized something was wrong and nodded desperately: "Promise, promise."
Lin Ze said "Yeah" and then disappeared, leaving Mo Daofu, who still didn't react, with a confused look on his face: Is this the beginning?
Feeling Lin Ze's aura disappearing, Mo Daofu couldn't help but wonder, did the other party really leave?
If you really leave, why do you have to wait a month? Wouldn't it be better to just leave?
Those restrictions in the body can stump me, can they still stump the emperor and the others?
As long as you go back by yourself, you will be able to untie it immediately.
No, Mo Daofu instinctively felt that something was wrong. Could it be that the other party was deliberately testing him?
According to the agreement between the two, the other party should let him go now, but the other party did not fulfill the agreement and instead proposed such a test.
Could it be that the other party didn't want to let me go, but was too embarrassed to break the contract directly, so he deliberately wanted me to break the agreement?
Calm down, you must not be fooled by this, Mo Daofu warned himself in his heart.
Just like that, an hour later, Lin Ze suddenly appeared in Modolf's yard. Seeing that Modolf was still there, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he quickly disappeared and said nonchalantly: "Remember, one month, don't forget it.
."
After saying that, Lin Ze disappeared again.
Mo Daofu was stunned for a moment, and then roared in his heart: "This guy is really trying to lure me into the bait on purpose. He has always been nearby, just waiting for me to escape."
Humph, I just didn’t fall for you.
The temptation of freedom is really hard to resist.
As the day went by, Moldoff had other thoughts. Could it be that he had really left and was just scaring me?
However, as soon as this idea came to Modoofu's mind, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure at the window and immediately put that idea to death.
Lin Ze grinned and said: "One month, there are still twenty-nine days, don't let me down."
After saying this, Lin Ze left again. This time, he did not stay nearby like the previous two times, but went directly to the Dao Palace.
He had done what he had to do. Lin Ze couldn't guarantee whether Mo Daofu would be deceived and spend this month with peace of mind. When he came back, Lin Ze couldn't guarantee it.
