In a few words, Ying Zheng finished commenting on what Fusu had reported.

  Then, he cast his intimidating and self-indignant eyes on Fusu who was under the steps.

  Ying Zheng said slowly, "Fusu, how will I treat you?"

  Fusu's body was shaken, and he immediately knelt down on the ground, and replied: "Father and emperor have always taught forgiveness to my ministers. Blood is thicker than water, and my ministers will never forget it!"

  Hearing Fusu's answer, Ying Zheng's face finally eased.

  "You should have heard the rumors on the street, right?" Ying Zheng's tone slowed down a little. At this moment, it seemed that they had become father and son again, not just monarchs and ministers.

  "You should know that Bai Qi died and was born in the Emperor's Garden. He was born with the original sin. Whether you want it or not, the poison of power will spread in your throat. Whether you kill others or poison yourself, it's all in one thought. "

  At this time, Fusu, who was kneeling under the steps, began to sob.

  Fusu choked with sobs and said, "I... I have been wronged, I hope the emperor will find out!"

  Ying Zheng sighed, and said, "The next day will be the sacrificial ceremony, and this time it will be up to you!" He paused and then emphasized, "This is the only time, and it is also... the last time."

  After all that was said, Ying Zheng didn't explain too much, nor did he make any so-called points, but there were some strong warnings.

  Then Yingzheng waved to Fusu slightly tired.

  Seeing this, Fusu had no choice but to wipe away her tears, bowed and retreated, and at the same time couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that she had escaped a catastrophe.

  But Fusu's situation is not so good now. If he doesn't make mistakes for the time being, it's fine if others can't find faults. After all, he is the eldest son and heir to the first order of the empire. As long as there are no major mistakes, there is no need to worry about his own status.

  But it is also true, I am afraid that Fusu will face all kinds of unexpected troubles in the future, after all, as long as he picks a fault, his status as the first successor of the empire will be shaken...

  In the midst of such undercurrents, Fusu also seized the time to prepare for the annual sacrificial ceremony.

  The sacrificial ceremony is not a very casual thing. It is a ritual of praying to the heavens related to the rise and fall of the country's fate at a large scale, and it is also a ceremony to comfort ancestors and fathers at a small scale.

  Since the beginning of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there have been worship halls for worshiping the two gods of She and Ji in various countries, and it has been more than a thousand years now.

  After some meticulous preparations, the sacrificial ceremony finally arrived.

  On this day, all civil and military officials came to the Temple of Heaven in Xianyang City. Wen and Wu were separated, surrounded by elite soldiers in solid guard.

  Ying Zheng slowly stepped up the long steps, holding the secret sacrificial meat and some other sacrifices in his hands, and then, as the emperor, he knelt down to worship the gods and the ancestors of Qin in the dark.

  After the worship, Ying Zheng picked up a dagger and began to cut the most important sacrificial meat into thin slices with his own hands, and then sent it to the hands of all the civil and military officials present.

  However, when the sacrificial meat was delivered to everyone and Ying Zheng was about to eat the sacrificial meat first, suddenly a civil servant below passed out on the ground.

  Immediately afterwards, some officials fainted, all of them were pale, and their physical symptoms also responded to the same... very similar to poisoning.

  "There are assassins! Protect Your Majesty!"

  The guards in solid clothes all around reacted immediately.

  Immediately, everyone saw that a team of assassins, all dressed in black robes and numbering no less than dozens of people, rushed towards this side.

  Fusu reacted instantly, and immediately stood by Ying Zheng's side.

  At this time, several black-robed assassins with extraordinary skills broke through the defense line of the guards and charged directly at Ying Zheng, their intentions being self-evident.

  Fusu drew out his saber without hesitation, and fought with those assassins.

  But the skills of those assassins were obviously better than Fusu's. After a while, Fusu's body was soaked in blood, but his face was full of persistence.

  Looking at Fusu's appearance of ignoring his life to save himself, Ying 020zheng's cold face finally showed a slight different emotion.

  But immediately, Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Can a few thieves kill me?"

  While speaking, Ying Zheng drew out his saber and held it high to the sky. Immediately, those masters who had not shown up but were secretly protecting Ying Zheng's safety appeared immediately.

  After a while, there were only dozens of cold corpses left.

  At this time, Fusu, who was seriously injured, finally couldn't hold on anymore, and instantly passed out on the ground.

  The change in the Temple of Heaven attracted ordinary people who came to watch the sacrificial ceremony.

  Among the crowd, Zhao Xuan quietly watched what happened above, although he didn't know that this incredible assassination was deliberately arranged by Ying Zheng to test Fu Su.

  It was Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's conspiracy against Fusu.

  Regarding this, Zhao Xuan could only shake his head no matter what it was.

  "From now on, the crown prince has been deposed!"

  With a sigh, Fusu has basically come to an end.

  In fact, after Fusu came to Xianyang, Zhao Xuan came to Xianyang with nothing to do.

  He naturally wants to appreciate the game of power in this wave of empires.

  But he didn't want to, everything was as he expected, and Fusu was still on his way to a dead end step by step! .

Chapter 1 Helping Su to be demoted abroad, plotting a mirage (3/4)

  Even though Fusu performed well in this assassination incident, it still didn't help.

  The assassins were all dead, not only Fusu was able to kill them, but some even committed suicide by taking poison even though they were captured by the shadow guards.

  There is no proof of everything, but it seems to be covering up something, which is quite unfavorable to Fusu.

  Sure enough, while Fusu was still recovering from his injuries, he received Yingzheng's order.

  "Prince Qin has always acted inappropriately in helping Su. Yu does not hide his faults. What's more, the current situation in Sanghai City is not well handled. It is hard to escape the blame. During the sacrificial ceremony, due to negligence, it almost caused a catastrophe! "

  "That's why I'm helping the crown prince to support Su, let him out of the customs, and help Meng Tian defend the border and defeat Beihu. Without my order, he will never be able to return to the imperial capital."

  When Yingzheng's personal eunuch finally conveyed the imperial edict to Fusu, Fusu's eyes were empty, a little dull, and he forgot to accept the edict for a while.

  The inner eunuch coughed lightly, and said to Fusu in a soft voice: "Your Highness, let's prepare immediately. It's a long way to go to guard the border outside the pass. If you don't start early, the road will be blocked by heavy snow. The road will not be easy!"

  Bitterness appeared on Fusu's face, and after taking a deep breath, he finally took the imperial decree from the eunuch.

  This means that he has accepted his fate, and perhaps from then on, he really can't come back.

  Fusu sighed, showing a wry smile, with complicated thoughts and mixed feelings for a while, but he was helpless.

  In an instant, there was no one left in the huge bedroom.

  Fusu took three or two followers, and started to prepare to go outside the pass, and together with Meng Tian, ​​guarded the border pass.

  In recent days, news of Meng Tian's success has been repeatedly reported in the court. Perhaps for Fusu, leaving Xianyang, the capital of power disputes, may not be a good destination.

  But just when Fusu left Xianyang Palace and was about to leave for the outside of the pass, he met Zhao Xuan again.

  The moment he saw Zhao Xuan, Fusu finally understood what he had said to him during the secret appointment in Sanghai City that day.

  The implication of Zhao Xuan's words that day was that Fusu's trip to Xianyang is likely to be sent to the Great Wall to guard the border.

  Sure enough, he was hit by Mr. Xuan again. When we meet again, we will be outside the pass!

  Fusu looked devastated, and slightly bowed to Zhao Xuan: "Master Xuan, I never expected that I will be dispatched to the border as you predicted that day"". "

  Zhao Xuan nodded, and said: "It's not a bad thing, at least it's far away from the power disputes in the imperial capital, and it's quiet, isn't it?"

  Fusu smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond.

  Zhao Xuan paused, and then said: "The one who doesn't believe you is your father, and the one who wants to harm you is your compatriots! You can decide what you want..."

  "Nowadays, people from all over the world are rising up one after another. This is the general trend and it is irreversible. Qin is doomed to die, but you...may still be ahead of Qin, because no one will let you go!"

  Although Zhao Xuan didn't explain who the person who wouldn't let Fusu go, Fusu naturally understood who Zhao Xuan was referring to after going through so many things from Haiyue Xiaozhu.

  This person is the eighteenth son, Hu Hai, who plotted a series behind the scenes to drive a wedge between Fusu and Yingzheng!

  Hu Hai, who was born as a concubine but was usually loved by Yingzheng, in order to rise to power and become the ultimate heir of the empire, naturally had to suppress Fusuda first.

  It has to be said that Hu Hai is indeed very skilled, planning a series of conspiracies against Fusu behind his back, and finally sent Fusu to the border, and has since stayed away from the power center of Xianyang.

  It also means that Fusu has lost the right to speak in the court since then.

  "Mr. Xuan, let's just say goodbye. The next time we meet, we will be outside the Great Wall just like you said last time!"

  Fusu smiled wryly, and at the same time showed a bit of disappointment on his face.

  This time, he lost completely!

  Zhao Xuan nodded, and then raised a little bit: "Meng Tian is your help, if you use it properly, you might not be able to fight back."

  Fu Su Moran, it seems that the current situation is very clear. Except for Meng Tian who is still guarding the border, everyone else has already stood in line whether they want to or not, and have made their own choices...

  And, without exception, these people are all on Hu Hai's side.

  Fusu couldn't help sighing that things in this world are really wonderful, and the relationship between enemies and friends is always changing in an instant.

  Just like before, he met Zhao Xuan in life and death, but now, only Zhao Xuan, his former rival, came to send Fusu away from Xianyang.

  Thinking of this, Fusu finally bowed his hands to Zhao Xuan, and then boarded the carriage to go outside the pass.

  Zhao Xuan sent Fusu away silently, but his heart moved.

  At this moment, Fusu is being excluded, which means that the internal contradictions of Qin State have become intense, and the demise of Qin State seems to be counting down...

  …………

  Back in Sanghai City, Zhao Xuan came directly to find Shi Lan.

  At this moment, this girl is still practicing sword skills in the courtyard as usual.

  Seeing Shi Lan's tired, still stubborn expression, Zhao Xuan couldn't help feeling distressed, so he quietly walked over and hugged Shi Lan's sweaty body from behind.

  Shi Lan screamed, turned her head and saw it was Zhao Xuan, her face blushed.

  "¨Xuan... Mr. Xuan."

  Seeing her timid appearance, Zhao Xuan couldn't help being dumb, and then pretended to be angry and said: "Didn't you say that, from now on you will call me Xuan Lang."

  Zhao Xuan's serious teasing made Shi Lan's face turn even redder.

  But it was broad daylight, Zhao Xuan couldn't do anything further.

  Instead, Zhao Xuan asked suspiciously: "You have been practicing martial arts so hard, is there any trouble that can't be solved for the time being?"

  Shi Lan lowered her head and said, "Because I want to rescue my brother with my own strength."

  "Your brother?" Zhao Xuan nodded, thinking about it.

  He can't bear to part with his own woman, so sad every day.

  Now that other things in Sanghai City can be put aside, it is also time to go to the mirage, find Shi Lan's brother, and meet Yun Zhongjun by the way!

  Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Xuan has taken a fancy to the mirage built by Ying Zheng! .

Chapter 1 Comes to the Mirage (Fourth Change)

  "My elder brother has been protecting me since I was a child, but later, he disappeared for some reason. I worked hard and finally got some clues, so I came to Songhai City..."

  Shi Lan said: "I don't know exactly where he is, but I just vaguely feel that he seems to be in this sea."

  Zhao Xuan's heart moved, Shi Lan's feeling was so accurate, it was amazing: "Don't worry, Shi Lan, your brother may really be at sea, or even above the mirage!

  "Really?" Shi Lan looked forward to it, but then her face sank again: "It's just that the mirage belongs to Qin, and there are so many masters above, I..."

  "Silly girl, what can I do if I'm just a mirage?"

  Zhao Xuan smiled faintly, sacrificed the Xuanyuan Sword, wrapped it around Shi Lan's willow waist, jumped up, and flew directly towards the vast sea with the sword.

  After a while, Zhao Xuan found a mirage anchored in the sea like a moving castle.

  Shi Lan looked at the ingenious and huge ship in front of her, with a strong 987 disbelief on her face.

  Regarding this, Zhao Xuan just smiled slightly, and then took Shi Lan and sneaked into the mirage.

  The huge mirage is really like a fully functional sea mobile city.

  Towers, pavilions and pavilions, with thousands of postures, rare and exotic plants, dotted among them... It is really like a fairyland on earth!

  Zhao Xuan walked through the rows of magnificently decorated houses, and finally came to an extraordinarily tall and spacious secret room in the mirage, bursts of refreshing medicinal fragrance came out from inside.

  Looking up, in the center of the secret room, there is actually a huge bronze tripod with a height of two feet. The fragrance just now came from here.

  Around the bronze cauldron, there were dozens of boys in uniform white robes and fine gauze masks, busy one after another, refining medicine.

  It seems that the bronze tripod is the elixir that Yun Zhongjun has been secretly refining on the mirage!

  As early as when the mirage appeared in Sanghai City, Zhao Xuan guessed from the signs of Li Si's wanton harvesting (cbah) of medicinal materials that above the mirage, Lord Yunzhong was secretly refining medicine.

  However, Zhao Xuan also knew that it was not so easy to successfully refine the immortal medicine that Lord Yunzhong concocted, which is said to be able to make people live forever.
