Chapter 17 Anyone who goes against the empire will pay a heavy price!

Kylin Hall.

Lin Xuan sat above the hall.

Reviewing some memorials that Liu Bowen had handled in recent days.

Although for him, there was no need for review.

After all, Liu Bowen's handling of the situation was perfect.

But I have nothing to do all day.

What if someone else sees it?

The image is not very good after all.

At least even if it's just a pretense, it should be done in a more realistic way, right?
But at this moment.

The eunuch's voice was heard outside.

"The Prime Minister requests an audience~"

Lin Xuan raised his eyes and said calmly: "Xuan!"

Followed by.

Li Si walked in quickly from outside.

"Your servant Li Si pays respect to the Marquis!"

Wait until you arrive in front of the temple.

Li Si bowed with his hands clasped.

Meeting Lin Xuan now is like meeting His Majesty.

Of course, all proper etiquette must be observed.

"Flat body."

Lin Xuan gestured.

He looked at Li Si.

Ever since he executed Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and their followers a few days ago.

It seemed as if all the ministers in the court were deliberately avoiding him.

As long as you don't summon him.

They would never appear in the palace.

But it's understandable.

After all, such a big thing just happened.

They are all afraid of implicating themselves.

But today.

Li Si took the initiative to meet the emperor.

Obviously something had happened.

"What are you doing here today?"

Lin Xuan spoke calmly.

Li Si took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then slowly said: "My Lord, I came here today because of the Mohist rebellion."

Lin Xuan frowned slightly. Mohist rebellion?
He hadn't paid much attention to this before.

I only remember it vaguely.

Mohism seems to be the biggest anti-Qin force in the world.

"Mohist rebellion? Tell me more."

Lin Xuan gestured to continue.

"Three months ago, His Majesty ordered me to wipe out the Mohist rebels hiding in the Mohist Mechanical City."

"However, the strategic location of the Mechanical City, coupled with the unique mechanical techniques of the Mohist school, hindered our army's attack and we have not been able to make a breakthrough for three consecutive months."

"I am worried that if the stalemate continues, not only will morale be dampened, but something unexpected may happen!"

After Li Si finished speaking, he lowered his head.

Showing a face of shame.

After all, it's such a thing.

He worked for three months but made no progress.

If this gets out.

Sooner or later you will be laughed at by others!

Some even questioned him how he became the prime minister?

Listen to what Li Si said.

Lin Xuan understood.

Today he came to ask me how to proceed with the suppression of Mo.

"Mohist School." Lin Xuan propped up his chin. "The empire's indulgence of them over the years has made them increasingly rampant and lawless."

then.

Lin Xuan stood up suddenly.

His momentum exploded instantly.

It was as if an invisible force was echoing in the hall!

He looked directly at Li Si, his tone full of unquestionable majesty: "I order you to immediately send an order to the Mohist rebels!
"In the name of the empire, I order them to open the city gates and surrender within three days!"

"If not!"

"I will send out a large army to destroy the Mechanical City and wipe them out in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive!"

The voice was loud and firm.

Echoing in the empty hall.

It seemed as if even the air was shaking!
"I accept your order!"

Li Si immediately responded by bowing.

Every word hit his heart like a hammer.

It made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression!

But just as Li Si was about to leave.

He suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something important.

He turned around and looked at Lin Xuan, his expression slightly solemn.

"Yes, my Lord."

"I have something else to report to you."

Li Si said, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Why isn't it over yet?

"It's about the Sword Saint Gai Nie." Li Si took a deep breath and finally spoke out his concerns, "He defected!"

Lin Xuan's expression immediately calmed down after hearing this. He thought it was something serious.

Then, he asked indifferently, "Where did Gai Nie flee to now?"

"According to the information we have received, Gai Nie is heading towards the direction of the Mohist Mechanical City." Li Si responded quickly.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly, already having a plan in mind.

He waved his hand, indicating that Li Si didn't need to worry too much.

"Since we are going to deal with the Mo family this time, we can just solve this matter at the same time."

Li Si felt relieved when he heard this.

"Yes, my Lord, you are wise."

Subsequently.

He bowed to Lin Xuan.

Then he slowly retreated.

Looking at Li Si's departing back.

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Gai Nie...Mojia..."

He would like to see.

These self-righteous guys.

What exactly is it capable of?
Dare to be the enemy of the empire.

They will pay a heavy price!
Quicksand Valley.

The place is surrounded by towering ancient trees.

The branches and leaves are dense, blocking out the sun.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows.

It adds a bit of mystery and depth to the valley.

In the center of the valley.

A huge stone seat stands majestically.

It is covered with traces of sword fights, as if telling of the thrilling experiences that once took place here.

On the stone seat.

There sat a domineering figure.

Dressed in a gorgeous black robe.

It rustled in the whistling mountain wind.

Like a king in darkness waving his cloak.

His face was grim.

His eyes are as sharp as an eagle's!

It exudes an unparalleled domineering aura!

What is even more eye-catching is his head full of silver hair.

Like a waterfall in the moonlight.

Shining brightly in the darkness!

at this time.

In the woods below.

A slight rustling sound broke the silence around.

then.

A graceful woman in red, twisting her snake-like waist, slowly walked out of the woods.

Her red dress is like fire.

It stands out particularly in the dark woods.

Every step reveals a seductive and dangerous aura.

When she came to the stone seat.

Looking up at the tall figure above, like an unshakable mountain.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a charming smile.

"How is it?"

Before the woman could speak.

The figure on the stone seat above was the first to break the silence.

Chi Lian quickly put away his smile and responded respectfully: "Master Wei Zhuang, I have received the news."

"That Gai Nie is now fleeing to the Mo family mechanical city, seeking asylum."

"Moreover, the Champion Marquis of the Empire has also announced that the Mohists must surrender within three days, or else they will send people to destroy the Mechanical City."

Listening to Chi Lian’s report.

Wei Zhuang fell into deep thought.

His slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the stone seat, making a rhythmic sound.

Every movement and every look reveals a king's majesty and dominance that makes people dare not look directly at him.

After a moment, Wei Zhuang raised his head, his cold eyes flashing with sharp light.

He said in a deep voice: "Brother, you really know how to pick a good place."

At this time, Chi Lian also spoke up: "The Mo family mechanical city is a world-famous defensive place. How can it be easily flattened?"

"Master Wei Zhuang, if the Mohist School really clashes with the Empire, we can follow the Empire and reap the benefits!"

Wei Zhuang heard this but did not respond.

Although Quicksand is a killer organization.

But at least Wei Zhuang has always done things in an upright manner.

Let him do the kind of things that only old people do.

It’s okay to do it once in a while.

then.

Wei Zhuang then gestured, "Chi Lian, go and inform Yin Fu, Lin Er and the others as soon as possible."

"Get them ready."

Upon hearing this, Chi Lian's eyes flashed with excitement, and he quickly responded, "Yes, Master Wei Zhuang!"

Done.

She turned and left.

The fiery red figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the woods.

After Chi Lian left.

Wei Zhuang's eyes were calm, and he murmured to himself:
"Brother, this is getting more and more interesting."
