Chapter 37 Zhang Liang Breaks into the Battlefield
Zhao Gao was well versed in prison laws and regulations, and was ordered by Ying Zheng to teach Hu Hai. The two got along well. As far as Ying Zheng knew, Hu Hai also trusted and liked Zhao Gao very much.
Moreover, Zhao Gao was good at observing people's words and expressions and flattering others, and had never been liked by Fusu. So naturally, he least wanted Fusu to come to the throne, otherwise his status would surely plummet.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's heart sank. As the emperor's most personal and greatest eunuch, and also a prince, there was a great chance that they could succeed as long as they forged the imperial edict.
"But unfortunately, Mr. Ye's master didn't predict one thing, that is, I met Mr. Ye. How can I predict Mr. Ye's affairs? Therefore, it should be difficult to come true. But just in case, I have to make some preparations..."
Ying Zheng's mind was filled with mixed feelings.
At this time, Li Si was so scared that he broke out in cold sweats. He was the only left prime minister who followed the tour. If Hu Hai could succeed to the throne, it would be related to him unless he died.
"If Your Majesty is unable to remove the poison, I'm afraid it will be just as Master and Master have said. Then Master Fusu and I will..."
Thinking of this, Meng Tian felt cold all over and his scalp tingled.
Seeing that the three people were distracted, Ye Yu knew that this news might be too shocking for them, so he didn't take it seriously.
After not much talking, Ying Zheng could no longer sit still and hurried away with Li Si, Meng Tian and others.
Just after returning to the manor in Pei County, Zhao Gao paid a visit to the emperor together with many eunuchs, palace maids and ministers.
"Quickly call Hu Hai to see you!"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hearing that Ying Zheng's tone was not right, Zhao Gao shuddered all over, felt a little fluttering in his heart, and felt uneasy. He had no choice but to kneel down and agree.
In addition to ordering Hu Hai to come quickly, Ying Zheng also sent someone to secretly return to Xianyang to collect information about Hu Hai's daily actions and words.
After arranging matters for Hu Hai, he transferred Zhao Gao and sent him to several nearby counties to inspect and secretly investigate the situation in the counties, and to investigate the whereabouts of the assassin who assassinated the king.
Originally, Zhao Gao felt a little uneasy, wondering whether he or Hu Hai had made some mistake, causing the emperor to be so angry.
Now that he had been tasked with inspecting counties and investigating assassins under the command of the First Emperor, he suddenly felt that there should be nothing wrong with him. Perhaps it was because Hu Hai was reported by someone, and Ying Zheng was assassinated, which made him in a bad mood and therefore quite angry.
"Prince Hu Hai is deeply loved by His Majesty. By the time he comes, his anger should have long gone. There is no need to worry about him."
Zhao Gao pondered in his heart.
These things have happened before. Every time Hu Hai got into trouble, he angered Ying Zheng, but most of the time it was just a lot of noise but little action.
That afternoon, Zhao Gao led his men to start the mission.
"Hu Hai, Zhao Gao..."
Ying Zheng stood by the lake, and Ye Yu's comments kept echoing in his mind. At this moment, he began to think about how to deal with them.
Zhao Gao would certainly not allow him to return to the central government and stay by his side. He would wait for an opportunity to kill him.
As for Hu Hai!
Ying Zheng had a thousand thoughts in his mind, whether to kill him, imprison him, or demote him to a commoner...
"Your Majesty, Princess Yangzi and her companions have arrived in Pei County!"
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly came from a distance and reported to Ying Zheng.
"Okay, Yin Man and the others are here!"
Upon hearing the news, Ying Zheng, who was originally depressed, was shocked and a smile appeared on his face.
On the other side, inside the quiet room in the courtyard of Yinxian Peak.
Ye Yu was carrying out his daily practice, surrounded by countless purple airs and shrouded in the sunlight.
After a long time, Ye Yu slowly stopped practicing, feeling a trace of true energy growing in his body, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
"At this rate, it will probably take more than ten years, or even longer, to fill up the Dantian with true essence."
This is the result of the energy vortex of thirty-six Tiangang in Ye Yu's body running day and night.
If it is someone else who cannot build an energy vortex, it may take decades, or even until death, to reach the perfection of the true essence. These ten years may be considered a relatively short time for ordinary cultivators seeking immortality, but for Ye Yu, it is still too long.
After all, Ye Yu has an incredible comprehension, and it is impossible for him to spend a lot of time accumulating energy step by step.
"In addition to my own practice, I also need to increase the concentration of the mysterious substance energy in the surrounding space. This way, the absorption efficiency will be higher."
"Snapped!"
While thinking, Ye Yu gently reached out for the box in the distance with his right hand. The box snapped open instantly, and several crystal clear jade stones with a warm purple color flew out and fell into Ye Yu's hand.
"Perhaps I can build an energy vortex circuit in the jade, so that it can operate day and night like the acupoints in my body, and increase the energy density of the mysterious purple energy here."
Once Ye Yu had this idea in his mind, he immediately began to comprehend it.
In the next few days, Ye Yu not only practiced as usual, but also temporarily put aside his wind and thunder techniques, relying on his extraordinary comprehension to comprehend how to create the energy vortex jade.
And on this day, at the foot of Yinxian Peak!
"Everyone, please go back. Hidden Immortal Peak is closed to visitors. Please come back later!"
Han Xin took a step forward and bowed to the people in front of him.
Han Xin has been on duty at the foot of the mountain for more than ten days, so he is now very skilled in this job.
At this time, in front of Han Xin and Gai Nie were Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang.
"We would like to become Mr. Ye's disciples. Could you please let us know?"
Zhang Liang bowed and said to Han Xin.
At this time, Zhang Liang was wearing Confucian clothes, standing upright, with a handsome face, and a scholarly demeanor, which really made people feel good.
Unfortunately, Han Xin had seen all kinds of people during this period of time, so there was no need to hesitate and he just shook his head.
"My master has no intention of accepting a disciple for the time being, otherwise he would have announced it long ago."
Han Xin said to Zhang Liang.
With Ye Yu's current reputation, as soon as he said he was recruiting disciples, countless people from hundreds of miles around would flock to him, wanting to become his disciples.
"I heard that the stone steps here are blessed with magic. Would you let me try it?"
After hearing Han Xin's words, Zhang Liang did not argue any further. Instead, he bowed and asked about another matter.
Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Han Xin took a step back and looked at his senior brother Gai Nie.
Gai Nie had already been paying attention to these three people. The man who spoke among them was very polite, but the other two people had an unusual aura.
"There is a kind of fierce and tough temperament among the military."
Gai Nie thought to himself.
However, Gai Nie was not afraid of their trouble. The two of them were not wearing armor, and if they fought privately, they might not be the opponents of the martial arts masters, let alone him, the world's number one swordsman.
"can!"
After a moment's silence, Gai Nie nodded in agreement.
As long as they don't go up the mountain and enter the psychedelic array, Gai Nie can still make the decision.
Zhang Liang thanked the two men and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He wanted to see if the magic here was really that mysterious.
Over the years, Zhang Liang has also been exposed to some Huang-Lao teachings, but he has not encountered any real existence that made him feel the existence of extraordinary mysterious power.
Therefore, Ye Yu's deeds at Yinxian Peak, coupled with Xiang Yu's personal experience, and what they saw and heard in Teng County, made Zhang Liang want to come and see the magic of Yinxian Peak for a long time.
Zhang Liang had just stepped onto the stone steps when he felt the scenery in front of him change drastically. However, before coming here, he even went to ask the two ruffians he had experienced that day, so he was not surprised by this change.
He kept walking among the winding white high walls and alleys, but he couldn't reach the end. Then he began to touch the walls around him. The wall that seemed to be next to him could not be touched. Then he touched the ground, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This is the touch of stone steps!
