ghost city

The first step, the second step, the third step, and after reaching the ninth level of jade steps, the majestic and pristine hall suddenly pressed down on him, and the feeling of suffocation almost made him unable to breathe.

It was almost evening at this moment, the sky was filled with bright clouds, the sun was fading, and a heavy atmosphere appeared for no reason.

Li Si stroked his forehead, let out a sigh of relief, and slowly walked into the hall.

At this time, the hall has not yet been lit with candles, and it is completely dark and empty.He glanced up, and saw the iron-blooded emperor burying his head beside the desk and reading the memorial.

The crown hanging from his head covered his stern face, and the black crown was decorated with twelve chapter patterns. Even though he didn't say a word, his whole body still exuded a majesty that made people dare not look directly at him.

He is the emperor who swept across the world and conquered the whole world; he is the core of the Great Qin Empire.

Li Si carefully considered his words.During the more than ten years of following Yingzheng, his official position was promoted from Changshi to Tingwei, and then from Tingwei to Prime Minister. In the empire, he was already under one person and above ten thousand.But every time he faced the emperor, he had to maintain a very strict and respectful attitude, observing every change of the emperor.At any time, he always felt that the emperor's sharp eyes could see through his heart.

Before he could speak, Ying Zheng had already said, "Prime Minister, what's the arrangement for my east tour?"

After Li Si bowed down and bowed his head, he replied: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Mr. Fusu has already planned this matter: the imperial cavalry guarding the emperor's cavalry will be commanded by General Zhang Han, and the six sword slaves will be in charge of guarding against assassins." "In order to prevent accidents, Mr. Fusu also specially dispatched Azi from the Yinyang family to be His Majesty's personal guard. This layout is perfect."

"Well," Ying Zheng nodded slightly, put the reviewed memorial on the top right of the book case, raised his eyes and said, "Yun Zhongjun has been ordered to cross the East China Sea to obtain the elixir; Meng Tian led the Golden Fire Cavalry to garrison Shangjun; His injury has not yet healed. I thought that there were not many people left in the empire who could send guards. I didn’t want Fusu to arrange it thoughtfully. It would be difficult for him. Prime Minister, just do what Fusu wants.”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Si kowtowed.

"Wait, who is that guard named Azi?" Li Si was about to retreat, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Miss Azi used to be your bodyguard, but she was sentenced to hell for dereliction of duty. Now, she was released by Mr. Fusu and recommended to be your majesty's guard on the east tour."

"Oh? Can someone who has been in prison be trusted?" Ying Zheng stared in thought, as if talking to himself, and then said: "Fu Su has always been careful and rigorous in his work, and the people he chooses will definitely not make mistakes. "

"Prime Minister," Ying Zheng looked at His Highness again, "act according to Fusu's arrangement. Remember not to leak the news of our east tour. As for Xianyang, leave Fusu to guard and let him temporarily supervise the country."

"I understand." Prime Minister Da Qin kowtowed again, his face hidden in the shadows.

Xinghun, who was hidden in a corner outside the hall, heard these words, and a secret smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Yo, isn't this the Star Soul National Master?" Li Si had just left the hall when he saw Star Soul approaching from not far away.

Xinghun bowed his hand to return the gift, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister is always in charge of everything, so please pay attention to your body. By the way, you and His Majesty have already discussed the matter of the east tour?"

Although talking about state affairs has always been taboo for Li Si, Xinghun is also a key figure involved in confidential court affairs, so Li Si will not hide it from him.

"Well, according to the arrangement of Young Master Fu Su, General Zhang Han, Liu Jiannu and Miss Azi will be responsible for the task of guarding the east."

"Heh," Xinghun chuckled, his blue eyes gleaming charmingly, "Your Majesty can trust Azi. However," he frowned suddenly, and pondered for a moment, "She once had a crush on Gao Jianli in the early years. Imprisoned, is it appropriate to send her to guard this time?"

"Miss Zi was recommended by Mr. Fusu, so she must be a trustworthy person. Daqin has always been close to the virtuous and generous, and rewards and punishments are clear. How can a talent be wronged by a single mistake? Miss Zi is superb in technique, and she will not take on the heavy responsibility." Li Si laughed. , with an approving look on his face, "The Yin Yang family is full of talented people. It is said that Miss Azi came from Lord Xinghun's sect. You really have a good eye for discerning disciples."

Xinghun waved his hand: "Where is that, Azi was born in a trap, and because of the recommendation of Mr. Fusu, he joined my sect, and was later recommended by Mr. Fusu as His Majesty's guard. I am just preaching and teaching, and it is the eldest son and the eldest son who know the truth." Master Zhao Gao."

[The quoting of "preaching and teaching" here is really time-traveling, but let's just use it, I'm running out of words]

His young face showed a mature and sophisticated insight into the world, and there was still a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.Speaking of the names "Fusu" and "Zhao Gao", he deliberately emphasized his tone.

Li Si looked at the boy carefully, as if trying to dig out something from him.After lingering on him for a few times, Fang replied, "Hehe, it's a blessing for the empire to have such a talented person."

************************

The top room of the Star Observation Building is intertwined with shining light, just like the light cast by the stars in the sky.

Xinghun looked indifferently at the green-clothed girl standing in a corner, and asked lightly, "How is things going?"

Azi cupped his hands and bowed: "Young Master Ling has already taken over this business. As long as he conquers Dai, he will send troops for the empire to 'guard' His Majesty on his eastward tour."

"Very good," Xinghun nodded slightly when he heard the words, he approached the girl and spread his hands: "Where is the thing I want?"

"Red thorn flower? Ah Zi is ready." The girl was very meek and respectful at the moment, even Xinghun was slightly surprised.

"How does it feel to see an old friend?" Youlan's eyes fell on her face, and there was a secret smile on her lips.

The girl trembled slightly when she heard the words, and then calmed down again.

She almost forgot that Xinghun was also the one who had seen her memories.

While waiting for her answer, the boy stretched out his hand and waited for her to offer something.However, the girl remained silent without any response.

"Where's the red thorn flower?" Xinghun frowned displeasedly and urged.

Hearing this, the girl raised her head with a leisurely expression, and said unhurriedly: "Master, you still owe Azi something. Phoenix tears are mixed with Gu medicine?"

Xinghun's eyes tightened, and there was a hint of danger. After a while, his expression softened, and he said quietly: "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from you. A Zi, sometimes being too smart is not a good thing."

"Oh, Master is right." She smiled, looking very relaxed, "However, if you are too confused, you may not even know how you died."

"Master, you still can't trust me. You just mixed Gu medicine into Phoenix Tears and restrained me through witch Gu. Once I abscond, I might die from the poison at some point. And all of this is under your control Among them." The girl stared at him with bright eyes, as if she could see through his thoughts.

Although she took the antidote of Lihunsan in Youwang City for the past few days, she still felt that her meridians were not smooth.After careful inspection of the whole body, it was discovered that it was the backlash after using Phoenix Tears.At that time, she concluded that Xinghun must have tampered with it.Otherwise, if she pulls away, there is nothing he can do.

Xinghun looked at her for a long time, sighed slightly, took out a purple bottle, and threw it at her: "This is the semi-decomposed medicine of Phoenix Gu, you take it first. If Young Master Ling can successfully complete the task of 'guarding', I will Give you the rest of the antidote."

"Thank you, Master." The girl took the purple bottle and handed over a kit, "This is half a red thorn flower. It may not be able to heal Master, but with it, your hands can at least heal five I have achieved great power. When Master gives me the remaining antidote, I will definitely offer the remaining half plant."

Azi looked at the young man with a very bright smile, and unexpectedly lost the evil spirit of the past.

"You! You have really grown up!" The young man's exquisite face was twisted, and he suppressed his anger.

"Master, don't get angry. A Zi dare not bully Master, but Young Master Ling is too stingy, and I can't help it."

The girl smiled, and with a movement of her figure, she had already disappeared into the vast night.
