[FATEFGO] Master's Note

"Hey, wait a minute!" Shenmu Xiao grabbed the railing, tried to lean out, and shouted loudly at Astolfo's back, "Who is 'he'? Who will come over? You should make it clearer." ! Now, Mr. Astolfo!"

Astolfo's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Shenmu Xiao let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground.She privately thought that the "he" Astolfo was talking about was most likely the resurrected First Emperor Yingzheng.

To be honest, she was completely unprepared to meet the big boss behind the scenes.Especially in such a situation where she was alone without other servants, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The flame flickered for no reason, sparks burst out from time to time.Shen Muxiao watched the sparks fall on the wet straw, slowly losing their light.

When the eighth spark jumped onto the straw to lose its temperature, she heard footsteps and a crisp knocking sound again.

She stood up abruptly and leaned over to look out.However, there was an iron fence blocking him, so she couldn't see his figure from the angle she was standing on.

She could only wait for Ying Zheng to come to her.

The appearance of the emperor probably cannot lack enough light.All the soldiers following Ying Zheng held torches in their hands. Seeing the approaching flames, Shen Muxiao's heart beat more and more violently.

Ying Zheng stopped and stood in front of her with his hands behind his back.He was much taller than Shenmu Xiao, blocking most of the flames.The golden dragon pattern embroidered on the hem of the black robe was illuminated by the dancing flames, Shen Muxiao somehow always had the illusion that the dragon would soar into the clouds in the next second.

He looked down at Shenmu Xiao condescendingly and remained silent for a long time.Shenmu Xiao was slightly intimidated by the invisible coercion lingering over him. She looked down at the warm fire light reflected on the ground, and carefully backed away, trying to hide in the shadow where there was no light.

However, a group of soldiers behind Ying Zheng held torches, and the effect was no different from spotlights.The light of the fire filled the small cell, leaving no dark place at all, and Shen Muxiao had nowhere to hide.

Ying Zheng's scrutinizing gaze made Shen Muxiao's scalp tingle.She really couldn't bear this frozen atmosphere any longer.

She raised her head, shifted her gaze to Ying Zheng, and tried to look directly at him.Her voice was shrill with tension.

"What is your purpose of arresting me?"

However, just by glancing at Ying Zheng's unwavering eyes like a deep pool, Shen Muxiao felt a wave of fear, and looked away hopelessly.

"Master from Chaldea, Shenmu Xiao?" His voice was terribly cold, "I didn't expect that people from the Liu family would call such a person by mistake. It's really..."

...helped a lot.

But Ying Zheng didn't say the rest of the sentence.

"You didn't come here to chat with me, did you?" Shenmu Xiao said seriously, "Don't beat around the bush again, let's be straightforward."

Ying Zheng didn't say a word, just looked into her eyes, as if trying to see into her heart.Shen Muxiao felt uncomfortable all over, but she didn't lower her head to avoid his sight.

Dead silence again.

Shenmu Xiao could clearly hear her slightly heavy breathing.

Ying Zheng suddenly snorted coldly, and Shen Muxiao almost cried out in fright.

"You really are a bit bold." He bent down slightly, approaching Shenmu Xiao, "Let's see how far your courage can support you."

"What do you mean?" Shen Muxiao asked boldly.

Ying Zheng stood up straight and did not answer her question.

Is this kind of arrogance a common feature of being a king?Shen Muxiao couldn't figure it out.

She hates the feeling of knowing nothing.Holding her breath, she said again: "It's not fun to play tricks, Lord Shihuang. Although I don't know what I'm planning (it's probably not a good thing, Shenmu Xiao thought), but as a part of your plan, I think I have something to do." I am qualified to know what you are going to do to me next. Even if I die, at least I have to die to understand!"

Ying Zheng's calm face finally showed some expression - he sneered, as if disdainful of her childishness.

"I'm not an idiot, it's better for you to die without knowing anything." He whispered, "Counting down the remaining days of yourself, spending the rest of your life in panic and fear, it's not a good feeling for you This kind of negative emotion may also have an impact on my wishes."

Shen Muxiao's eyes darkened.She asked in a deep voice: "According to what you mean, Lord Shihuang, I must die?"

Although it was a question, she knew the answer to this question in her heart.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"What is your wish... country? Eternal life?" Shen Muxiao took advantage of the situation and asked.

"You talk a little too much. Instead of chattering out of my mouth and engaging in childish resistance, I think you should wait for the time to die."

His tone was a little harsh, without the initial contempt at all.Shenmu Xiao privately thought that at least one of her previous assumptions was something Ying Zheng wanted, or at least related to his wish.

Shen Muxiao didn't ask any more.She wasn't afraid of Ying Zheng's deterrent power, but felt that it was the best way not to provoke him with words.He will definitely not reveal a single bit of his plan, Shen Muxiao thought.

With the absence of chattering voices in his ears, Ying Zheng felt a lot more relaxed.He turned his head and ordered the soldiers beside him to stay on guard, while he returned to the ground.

Astolfo had been waiting for him at the entrance for a long time.He blessed Ying Zheng, and followed Ying Zheng to the palace in charge of yin and yang astrology, reporting to him.

"The seventh team won the victory and expanded the territory to the Huainan area. The prisoners of war are already on their way back. A Mongolian tribe requested to sign a non-aggression treaty and promised to give the dynasty a certain amount of annual tribute."

"Rejected." Ying Zheng replied without hesitation, "Immediately send troops to conquer the tribe.

"Don't show mercy," he added.

From the very beginning, Ying Zheng never considered peaceful coexistence with any party.

"Yes." Astolfo replied.

Turning around to arrange pre-war matters, Astolfo was suddenly stopped by Ying Zheng.

"The mob, where have they gone?" Ying Zheng asked him.

"According to the news from the griffin, Liu Xiu and other heroic spirits are tens of kilometers away from the east and west, and they will arrive near Afang Palace tomorrow without any accident." After a pause, Astolfo asked Ying Zhengdao , "Do you want your subordinates to attack them?"

"Fujun doesn't have to go there in person, just send some miscellaneous soldiers to stop them."

The purpose of Ying Zheng's arresting Shen Muxiao here was to lure Liu Xiu over, so naturally he would not deliberately stop them.However, if they were allowed to enter Xianyang as smoothly as if they had entered no one's land, they might become suspicious, and it was necessary to stop them a little.

"The subject knows."

Astolfo turned and left, and Ying Zheng walked into the palace alone.

As the day went down, Ying Zheng closed the palace gate, and the hall was extremely dark, with almost no light at all, only a strange object placed in the middle of the hall that seemed to bulge like a sarcoid gave off a crimson gleam.

Ying Zheng stared at this thing with a hint of greed in his eyes.

"When Liu Xiu comes, I can fulfill my wish..."

He laughed.

Liu Xiu who was sitting on the vimana sneezed.

She rubbed her nose and complained in a low voice, "It's really cold to walk through the clouds."

"Under this flying speed, it's normal to be cold, master." Nezha replied.

However, the Hot Wheels under her feet gave her enough heat, and she didn't feel any chill, so she couldn't empathize with it, so she could only give a few words of comfort.

Liu Xiu gathered up her coat, hugged Nezha, and sighed, "Huh——little Nezha is still comfortable here."

Nezha was at a loss for a while, so he stood stiffly in place, not daring to move.

"Hey, how long will it take?"

Gilgamesh's impatient voice reached his ears.

"Soon." Liu Xiu replied, "Impatience is not good, you should recognize this, Your Majesty the Hero King."

Gilgamesh was speechless, but did not answer her.

At the critical moment of life and death, what does he look like when he is so carefree?Thinking of this, he speeded up.

Liu Xiu wailed for a while, and protested loudly: "I said, are you trying to freeze me to death!"

"That's right, I just want to freeze you speechless!"

Liu Xiu was anxious and vowed to complain about Gilgamesh to Shenmu Xiao after seeing her.

Shen Muxiao watched the torch burn out and turn into coke.A group of soldiers guarding in front of the cell, no one stepped forward to change the firewood, and let the flame go out like this.

The surroundings fell into darkness again.

She was so thirsty that she had a headache.Yingzheng has never sent anyone to bring water or food, which obviously means that her death is approaching, and Yingzheng doesn't even want to waste resources on her.

Shen Muxiao didn't want to wait for her death, but she had almost nothing at hand, and it was almost impossible to escape.What's more, there is a soldier guarding outside, just trying to break through them can be said to be impossible.

Being guarded by so many people, Shen Muxiao felt that he was valued by Ying Zheng.

But she really didn't want to wait to die.

His stomach let out a loud growl, which was especially obvious in the claustrophobic environment.Shen Muxiao rubbed his belly in embarrassment, but suddenly remembered an important event.

She is now wearing a magic dress!

In my impression, this magic dress has the function of releasing magic power, which can instantly increase the magic power of the master.With this, blowing up the cell shouldn't be a problem.

Although this method is very risky, Shenmu Xiao has no other way.

She purposely made some rustling noises, trying to trick the guarding soldiers into thinking she was planning something.

Sure enough, the soldiers took the bait. They approached the cell and shouted, "What are you doing!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps stop not far away, Shenmu Xiao grasped the plan, pinched the black iron railing with both hands, and released magic power at the same time, blasting the railing to pieces, and the soldiers near the railing were also implicated and were blown to pieces white.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Muxiao turned over from the gap.Just as he was about to run away, he accidentally stepped on a chubby object and fell to the ground.

She picked it up, touched it roughly, and found that it seemed to be a firefly.She was overjoyed, and hurriedly put the fire bag into her bosom, and took away the saber of the soldier beside her.

Some soldiers who stood farther away were not affected by the release of magic power, and hurriedly chased Shenmu Xiao.

There was no light in all directions, Shenmu Xiao staggered forward, hitting the wall several times, but she dared not stop.It wasn't until the shouts of the soldiers behind her gradually became quieter that she dared to open the fire pocket.

Unknowingly, she seemed to have gone to another cell.There are various instruments of torture hanging on the wall, and the surface is covered with dried dark blood.

Shen Muxiao felt a little cold.

Moving forward, the dim light of the Huozhezi illuminated a huge cage in the room.

Suppressing the fear in her heart, she boldly took a few steps forward.

Inside the cage, a man was bound by several iron chains.

Shen Muxiao was really startled, and the fire folder in his hand almost fell to the ground.

The voice of the soldiers approached again, she hurriedly closed the fire cover and hid in a corner.

"Is the woman here?"

"Impossible. Let's go!"

As the footsteps faded away, Shenmu Xiao stood up tremblingly, ready to leave.

At this time, she heard a heavy gasp.
