The cold night enveloped the vast land of Qilu. Qufu, the capital of Lu, which had been around for hundreds of years, was filled with earth-shaking shouts and killings.

Countless people woke up from night dreams, either hiding in the room for fear of no reason, or climbing to the roof and walls, looking at the county magistrate's mansion with firelights soaring into the sky.

At this time, outside the county magistrate's mansion, thousands of black-clad soldiers in black-clad armored like demons kept shooting deadly arrows.

Soon, the county magistrate's mansion turned into a sea of ​​fire that made people dare not approach it.

"Qi State will not perish"

"Qi State will not perish"

...

Hundreds of desperate people charged for death, shot by arrows, swallowed by fire, and were silent in the darkness.

Half an hour later, the Qin army found the magistrate of Xue County, Qufu County Magistrate, and several wanted Qi royal family members in the secret room, boxes of coins, gold cakes, and jade artifacts.

...

In the early morning, the temporary garrison of the military camp, the Qufu Academy, was quiet. When the first ray of morning light shone through the mist, the Qufu Academy ushered in a cold morning.

On the bank of a small lake surrounded by green trees, Cao Yi, who was half old Taoist robe, sat cross-legged on a large, cool and hard stone weighing tens of thousands of pounds.

In the range three or four meters ahead, countless crystal water beads floated, as if controlled by an invisible force. These water beads merged together and changed in various shapes. Sometimes, like a running deer, sometimes, they turned into a giant python roaring towards the sky.

A red carp jumped out of the water and drew a beautiful curve. When it fell, it was washed into the air by the bottom-up water, swaying in panic.

But the bottom-up water had no intention of stopping. It kept pushing up, only pushing the red carp to five meters high before slowly falling down.

The scared red carp hurriedly fled into the water.

Cao Yi, who had been motionless, raised his hand and rushed forward without any storm. He rushed into the distance. He pulled back and the waves hit the shore.

After dozens of times, the entire lake began to turbulently and sway, and the waves became higher and higher.

Hundreds of swimming fish turned into flying fish, shuttled through the waves, and the scene was very spectacular.

"call"

Cao Yi breathed out and slowly finished his work.

The waves gradually calmed down, and the fish that were tortured fell into the lake and never came out again.

"good"

Li Si, who came for a while, applauded.

Cao Yi stood up, turned around, and saw Li Si wearing a robe and holding a bronze sword in his hand, and praised him: "The Prime Minister was busy until the second half of the night last night. He worked hard to practice swords as soon as he woke up. No wonder the sword technique is so powerful."

Li Si smiled and said, "I don't know any swordsmanship. I didn't thank Taoist priest yesterday."

Yesterday, if it weren't for Cao Yi, his life would have been gone, let alone becoming the sword saint among the hundreds of families.

"The Prime Minister is too modest"

Cao Yi shook his head.

After talking a few more words, the two walked towards Ying Zheng's military tent.

"Xiang Yu was sent to the north"

Li Si suddenly said something stupid.

Isn’t Xiang Yu in Qi? Why did he suddenly go to the north?

An idea flashed through Cao Yi's mind, and then looked at Li Si's smiling expression. He understood that Ying Zheng was going to deal with the Huns.

The northern grassland nations have always been the confidant of the Central Plains from the long past to the distant future. Ying Zheng, who has seen the future, has probably prepared a long time ago.

Next, Li Si's words also confirmed Cao Yi's speculation: "After General Meng drove the Huns out of Henan, the Huns' cavalry repeatedly invaded the border. It was not because of His Majesty's constant pressure, so he would have sent troops long ago."

Not long after, the two arrived outside a room on the third floor of the Academy.

Hearing Ying Zheng's voice: "The whole country of Xue County is so decayed!"

"I have captured several rioters alive. They confessed and used all kinds of means to pull the county magistrate and the county magistrate into the water. Their hands were extended to other counties. The situation in Qilu was worrying. I suspect that this situation was also very serious in the other five countries that were destroyed."

Zhang Han's voice sounded.

In the room, there was a silence for a while, and Ying Zheng's voice came again: "Have you found out how many thieves gathered in Qi?"

"The people who came from Zhang Liang, the Korean Prince Xin, the royal family of Qi, Tian Heng and his brothers Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Yan, Zhao, and Wei are not clear about it."

Zhang Han replied.

Maybe I think it's not good to listen to the corner.

Li Si stepped forward and said, "My minister Li Si, please come to see Your Majesty with Master Cao."

"Come in"

Ying Zheng's faint voice came from inside.

Cao Yi and Li Si went in together and saw Ying Zheng sitting high. Zhang Han sat down at the desk and then reported it to him. He walked over and sat down.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and said coldly: "Call those people from the past again, whether they are traitors or officials, arrest what should be caught and kill what should be killed."

Zhang Han was shocked and replied: "No"

Ying Zheng said again: "Don't use the name before, and it will be changed to the Black Ice Platform from now on."

Zhang Han said another promise.

"Go down"

Ying Zheng said lightly.

Zhang Han stood up, bowed to the three of them separately, and walked out.

Ying Zheng then looked at Cao Yi: "I have one thing, entrusted to Taoist priests' Taoism."

This is the first time Cao Yi heard Ying Zheng speak with this word: "Your Majesty, please say it."

Ying Zheng spit out four words: "Make gunpowder"

Cao Yi nodded: "No problem"

After the teachings after preaching these days, the twelve disciples basically prepared gunpowder.

Ying Zheng stood up, walked down the steps of the upper seat, came to the window, looked into the distance and said, "General Meng, who guarded the Great Wall, reported many times. The Huns who were expelled from Henan, became stronger and stronger by annexing the surrounding tribes, and even showed signs of joining forces with Donghu to invade the south. I decided to take the initiative and launch the Battle of the South of the Desert. At that time, if there is enough gunpowder, it will play an unexpected role."

Since Li Si had already said it just now.

Cao Yi was not surprised at all about this news.

Ying Zheng said again: "I will go too. Before I can't go, I will lure the remnants of various countries who are gathered in Qi and are preparing to plot against evil intentions and catch them all in one go. What are the best ways for you guys?"

A good idea!

Cao Yi really couldn't imagine it for a moment.

Li Si had no choice. The thief had just been fooled and could not have been fooled.

He looked up and saw His Majesty looking at him, and said with a thorn in his mouth, "I have a way to do it, I don't know whether it should be said or not."

"As long as we can eliminate hidden dangers before the full war between me and the Huns, we will not talk or talk about it."

Li Si's sluggish way of speaking made Ying Zheng a little impatient.

Li Si then said, "I heard that the prince Hu Hai came from Xianyang and was about to reach Qufu. Mr. Hu Hai is the most beloved son of His Majesty. Everyone knows that as long as the whereabouts of Mr. Hu Hai are revealed..."

When Ying Zheng heard Hu Hai's name, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Li Si thought he had violated the taboo and hurriedly said, "You can find someone to pretend to be Mr. Hu Hai."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "No need to pretend"

Li Si was shocked. Isn’t Mr. Hu Hai the son the most beloved son of His Majesty?

Next, we talked about dealing with the Huns.

Ying Zheng proposed to use the map drawn by business travelers from the north for many years and send cavalry to attack thousands of miles.

Li Si was old and immediately expressed his opposition: "Your Majesty, if you are not careful, the cavalry may be wiped out. Please think twice."
