At night.

Even though it was cold winter, the heavy snow had already stopped.

Not only that, the thick black clouds that covered the entire sky disappeared without knowing when. Above the sky, what was left was a silver full moon. The silver moonlight spread from the center of the sky.

Down, onto the ground below.

The silver brilliance mixes with the white snow, showing a different kind of coldness.

Xianyang.

Xianyang Palace.

Since Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, Xianyang Palace has stepped up guard patrols and intensified the intensity of guarding. It can be said that one was bitten by a snake in one move, but feared the well rope for ten years. That battle really shocked everyone in the Qin State.

This reaction is not surprising.

now

In Xianyang Palace, it can be said that there are three posts per post, and five posts per sentry. Countless soldiers wearing black armor are patrolling around with weapons in hand. There is no sound here, only the constant collision and friction between the armors.

Echoing in the ears.

Suddenly, a soldier walking in front suddenly stopped and was looking at the corner not far away with a somewhat uncertain look.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

A soldier walking behind couldn't help but asked in confusion. At the same time, his gaze followed the other person to the dark corner not far away. There was only white snow there, and the moonlight reflected on the white snow.

There was a cold light. But there was nothing there, and no one could notice anything. After a few glances, the soldier found nothing wrong.

"I seem to have seen something."

The soldier walking at the front took a deep breath, pointed to a short distance, and said seriously: "It's right there."

Got something?

The soldier behind him turned his head and looked at it carefully for a long time, and muttered: "But there is still nothing there...Are you dazzled?"

"No!"

The leading soldier would never admit that he was dazzled. He did see something. He pointed there and said very seriously: "I just turned my head and saw two green lights there... Well, it was like two fireflies motionless.

Stop in that direction."

firefly?

When the people behind heard this, they all stared at the soldier as if they were looking at idiots. Are fireflies available at this time of year?

As if he noticed the idiotic looks in other soldiers' eyes, the soldier suddenly became anxious. He danced and explained: "Okay, maybe it's not a firefly. But there's a chance it's a wild beast or something..." At this point, the soldier himself couldn't say.

Go down.

Not to mention that in this cold winter, too many wild beasts are not allowed to wander out during the season. Besides, if this wild beast dares to step into Xianyang, I am afraid that it will be shot and beaten before entering. Fortunately, his face

He had a ghost face on his face, otherwise everyone present might have seen his face turn into a monkey's butt at this moment.

Dazzled.

right!

That must be it!

Finally, the soldier thought in his mind that the flash of bright green light he just saw was because he had been patrolling for too long, and was dazzled by the refraction of the white snow.

in the dark.

Yue Yuan stood there quietly, motionless.

The eyes under the mask were slightly narrowed, and the person was looking straight ahead.

"The alert has been tightened again."

Looking at the guards who were even tighter than the previous few days, Yue Yuan said to himself: "It seems...Qin Wangzheng has begun to practice. It took such a long time to test and verify. It is not what an emperor should have."

Suspicious."

At this point, Yue Yuan's voice became more sarcastic: "But if I want to do anything, how can I let you find out?"

Shaking his head and laughing.

Yue Yuan continued to walk.

Instantly.

The figure's shadow moved. With one step, the person appeared several feet away. The next step, it was the same scene again.

Suddenly.

Yue Yuan had already appeared behind the patrolling soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived at another place. There was no sound, and no one was aware of it. At most, it would make people feel like a cold wind was blowing on their faces.

People feel a chill on their backs for no reason.

Xianyang Palace is very big.

But compared to the Epang Palace which was under construction by the King of Qin, it was a bit smaller. Yue Yuan was quite familiar with Xianyang Palace, although not as familiar as the eunuchs and maids who had been living here, but compared to ordinary people

Generally speaking, Yue Yuan is much more familiar.

Soon, Yue Yuan arrived at the place he wanted to go.

The jade seal will not be placed in the main hall. For Qin Wangzheng, the jade seal will only be placed in two places. One is guarded by the eunuch Zhao Gao, and the other is in his palace. And now, the place where Yue Yuan came is

The palace of Qin Wangzheng.

Strict and quiet.

This is the environment outside the palace of King Qin.

They are more cautious than other places. Whether it is because Jing Ke has learned a lesson or because of other reasons, the guards at the place where Qin Wangzheng is staying now appear to be extremely unusual.

Such a strict place, which to ordinary people is like the Temple of Hell, is nothing more than that to Yue Yuan.

In a real sense, these guards only guard against ordinary people. Against certain people who have reached the ultimate level of martial arts, they are like a sieve filled with eyes to sift water, and are of no use at all.

Room.

Although the lights were dim, there was actually no sign of Qin Wangzheng.

"..."

Yue Yuan's eyes rested on a humanoid object placed there. This was a dummy. Although it didn't look much different from Qin Wangzheng in appearance, in Yue Yuan's eyes, he could see it at a glance.

Thorough.

puppet!

This is a puppet.

The puppet just sat there quietly without any movement, but Yue Yuan could feel that if an ordinary person accidentally touched the other person, it would definitely have serious consequences. There are mechanisms on it that are unimaginable by ordinary people.

.

However, this thing attracted Yue Yuan's attention and aroused his interest.

This is the first time I have seen this puppet substitute of Qin Wangzheng, Yue Yuan.

"A public loser..."

With a deep groan, Yue Yuan looked at the puppet up and down carefully. Although it looked similar, it was a pity that it lacked intelligence. Naturally, no matter how powerful the public loser was, humans were still humans, and they had not reached the level where gods could create things.

Looking at this puppet, Yue Yuan became interested in it.

Half a moment.

He withdrew his eyes from the puppet, and then stopped at the bench in front of the puppet. There was a roll of silk on it, with half of the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty written on it, and the brush was put aside.

On the left hand side of the puppet is the jade seal made by He Shibi.

To others, it is a jade seal.

But to Yue Yuan, this is just He's Bi. Although the current style is different from the styles he had seen in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this is He's Bi.

He raised his right hand.

The jade seal placed on the bench was sucked into Yue Yuan's hand.

"Um!!?"

There was a sound of surprise. After Yue Yuan dropped the jade seal in his palm, he saw something else out of the corner of his eye. It was exactly above the place where the jade seal was originally placed on the bench. There was a piece of paper that was difficult to see with the naked eye in the dim light of the oil lamp.

The strands of hair were flying down.

Taking hold of the fallen hair with one hand, Yue Yuan's eyes gained a hint of depth.

hair……

This hair does not belong to anyone else. There is only one possibility, that it belongs to Qin Wangzheng. Moreover, this hair that is suppressed by the jade seal is probably intentional.

What a suspicious emperor.

His thoughts condensed slightly. Yue Yuan had already analyzed Qin Wangzheng's thoughts. If Yue Yuan had been a little careless, I'm afraid he would have made a mistake in this hair. In the Qin Kingdom, I'm afraid that the person Qin Wangzheng really trusts

I'm afraid there's only one. That's himself.
