Chapter 125 Ying Zheng and his son met for the first time!
"Father Zhong."
"I think so."
"The ancestral temple seems to be planning something since the founding of the country by the first ancestor."
Ying Zheng spoke suddenly with some thought.
"Why did your Majesty say this?"
Lu Buwei was slightly surprised.
“This is just my guess.”
"The Ancestral Temple has existed for so many years and is known as the most mysterious place in the world. The fact that the Ancestral Temple can easily allow a peak Grandmaster to break through to the Grandmaster level is enough to show that the Ancestral Temple had the power to unify the world many years ago."
"But the ancestral temple did not enter the world, but always followed the trend, did not interfere with the successive Qin kings, only gave some support, and did not even reveal the true secrets of the ancestral temple."
"There must be some hidden secret or conspiracy behind this." Ying Zheng said thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that there is a being in this world that the Ancestral Temple fears?"
"So the ancestral temple acts cautiously, does not easily get involved in the world, and does not participate in the world's disputes?"
Lu Buwei was a smart man. As soon as Ying Zheng opened his mouth, he immediately understood what he meant.
"Yes!"
"I can't think of any other reason except this." Ying Zheng nodded seriously.
"The power of our great Qin nation is stronger than any other country in the world, and all other countries fear it like tigers and wolves. So what else in the world can make the ancestral temple afraid of?" Lu Buwei looked thoughtful.
Inside Zhangtai Palace!
Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei also fell into silence.
After continuing for a while.
Both of them seemed to have thought of something.
Eyes facing each other.
"Could it be, Xian?"
The two said in unison.
The appearance of the word "xian" was like the sound of thunder.
It also made Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei feel like they had suddenly been enlightened, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Do immortals really exist in this world?"
There was a hint of doubt in Ying Zheng's voice.
"The palace is where the historical records are kept. There are records about the founding of the country and the later death of our ancestors. Has the king seen it?" Lu Buwei asked immediately.
"Never."
Ying Zheng shook his head.
"Your Majesty, you can order someone to bring it now," said Lu Buwei.
Ying Zheng did not hesitate: "Come here, go to the royal palace's historical records library and order the historian to fetch the historical records after the death of our ancestor."
"promise."
Zhao Gao's respectful voice came.
"Father Zhong, do you know what is recorded in it?" Ying Zheng asked.
"The place where the royal palace history books are stored is under the control of the clan. Only historians can enter. They can be read under the king's decree, but they cannot be rewritten."
"Regarding the death of the ancestor after he founded the country, the former king also mentioned it to me, and there are some rumors among the people."
"But the details must be recorded in history books," said Lu Buwei.
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Soon.
A white-haired old man came into the Zhangtai Palace.
"Your Majesty, your ... servant Qin Shihao pays homage to you."
The old man bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng.
"In the name of Qin?"
"That's rare."
"No need for formalities." Ying Zheng smiled.
"Return to the king."
"My clan has been serving as historians under the ancestor since he founded the country. It has been passed down from generation to generation, using pens to record history. Our ancestors were given the surname "Qin Shi" by the ancestor, and now it has been passed down to the thirty-sixth generation." Qin Shihao replied immediately.
"As expected of a historian, very good." Ying Zheng praised.
"This is what was recorded in the history books when our ancestor passed away."
"I wonder what doubts the king has?" Qin Shihao asked respectfully.
"I only ask one question."
"When the First Ancestor's cultivation reached the peak of the Grand Master, he was the number one martial artist in the world and lived for two hundred years? But the First Ancestor did not live for two hundred years, why did he die?" Ying Zheng asked directly.
"Please read the history books, Your Majesty."
Qin Shihao opened the bamboo slip in his hand without hesitation.
Ying Zheng took a closer look.
In a word.
"Fifty-seven years after the founding of Qin, a fairy came to Xianyang. Thousands of fairies flew into the air with swords, intending to kill the founding of Qin. The founding of Qin led the great Qin martial arts masters to fight, and killed thousands of fairies. In the aftermath of the war, countless blood was shed in Xianyang."
"The immortals were defeated by the ancestor, and their blood stained Xianyang."
"end."
"The ancestor fought hard and finally passed away."
Records of the ancestor's death appeared at this moment.
"Are there really immortals in this world?"
A look of shock appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
Obviously.
This historical record also shocked him.
this moment.
Ying Zheng seemed somewhat dazed, and had an epiphany.
"Your Majesty."
“Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why the ancestral temple is hidden from the world.”
"Fairy."
Lu Buwei spoke slowly.
When he saw what was recorded in history books, Lu Buwei was greatly shocked.
Although it was just a few words, what happened in Xianyang was fully revealed.
"Qin Shiqing, you go back first."
"I know about this matter." Ying Zheng came back to his senses and said to Qin Shihao.
"My minister retire."
Qin Shihao did not stay long. He bowed and left the hall.
Wait until he leaves.
"in this case."
"We were not wrong."
“Perhaps at the beginning, the real enemy of our Great Qin was not the countries of the world, but the immortals.”
"This is also the root cause of the death of our ancestor." Ying Zheng said slowly.
"Yes." Lu Buwei nodded: "It seems that what the first ancestor experienced after founding the Qin Dynasty is not known to later generations."
"As far as we know now."
"The enemy of the Qin Dynasty is not just the other countries, but the immortals that cannot be found in this world."
"The ancestral temple is hiding and planning in secret, perhaps just to deal with the immortals."
"The enemy of our Great Qin in the future will be the immortals."
Listen to what Lu Buwei said.
Ying Zheng nodded: "What Zhongfu said makes sense. Right now, what we can do is to improve the national strength of the Qin Dynasty, destroy the other countries as soon as possible, and unify the world. Only in this way can we understand the purpose of the ancestral temple."
"As a descendant of the First Ancestor, if an immortal threatens the Qin Empire, it is my duty to protect the Qin Empire. Even if it is an immortal, I am not afraid of it."
this moment.
A terrifying aura of kingly power emerged from Ying Zheng.
"Great King Shengming."
Lu Buwei bowed immediately.
Then he continued, "This time the ancestral temple has given the king three gifts. The king must make good use of them to enhance the national strength of the Qin Dynasty."
"It's natural."
Ying Zheng nodded.
"The matter of the Bigu Pill is related to the mobilization of troops by the Great Qin. I will go and mobilize the food and grass first."
"later."
"Just transfer the food and grass directly to Xianyang. The manpower and material resources saved can be used to do so many things." Lu Buwei smiled, bowed, and then left Zhangtai Palace.
Looking at Lu Buwei's excited expression, it is obvious that he is also very happy.
After Lu Buwei left.
"Weak."
Ying Zheng called out.
A figure flashed in the back hall.
"Please give your orders, my king."
Dun Ruo bowed.
"Make five copies of this atlas."
"Send it secretly to the five major camps of our Great Qin, and give it to the generals of each camp, so that they can make every effort to arrange for the entire army to practice."
"As for the Lantian camp, we will start training after it is reorganized." Ying Zheng said, throwing the diagram of the General Soul Battle Formation to Dun Ruo.
"I accept the edict."
Dun Ruo took the battle diagram and left the place in a flash.
"Bigu Pill, Military Soul Battle Formation."
"It is a well-deserved national treasure."
"The ancestral temple."
"As a descendant of the first ancestor, I will unify the world and have the ability to protect Daqin and the ancestral temple."
Ying Zheng stared at the ancestral temple and muttered to himself.
……
Zhao land, Handan!
In the general's camp.
"All surrendered soldiers, listen up."
"Those who have reached the Blood Qi Realm and above will be registered in the register and their place of origin will be recorded."
"The king has granted all the surrendered soldiers a chance for a new life. All the surrendered soldiers above the Blood Qi Realm have the opportunity to be reorganized into the prisoner army, and in the name of prisoners, they can make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences."
"Now the list of people who have ascended the throne is in order."
"Anyone who disrespects and resists will be stripped of his criminal status and exiled to the northern border at the very least, or executed at the worst."
In a military camp where surrendered soldiers were being guarded.
On the surrounding city walls were Qin soldiers holding bows and arrows, and below were soldiers holding weapons.
Even the military master general Zhou He was here in person.
Facing these waves of murderous intent.
How dare these surrendered soldiers disobey?
They were arranged in an orderly manner into one hundred teams, recording the names, registration authorities and their families' situations.
now.
They were undoubtedly nervous.
As surrendered soldiers, they all knew that the fate that awaited them would not be good, but the emergence of the criminal army strategy gave them some hope.
Because they could continue to serve in the army and had the opportunity to escape slavery.
Even if it's just a glimmer of hope, they naturally want to grasp it.
"General."
"There are 200,000 surrendered soldiers here."
"We have successfully recorded more than 50,000 people. At the current speed, it will take another five or six days to complete the record." A deputy general came to Zhou He and reported.
"Take your time, don't rush."
"The king has issued an edict to prioritize the establishment of the Lantian camp."
"We have plenty of time now."
"Send someone to supervise the combing."
"Those whose cultivation has not reached the Blood Qi Realm will be directly handed over to the county soldiers to be sent away." Zhou He said.
He has been in the army for more than two years now. Although he is still young and his face looks a little immature, the powerful murderous aura on him makes people dare not underestimate him. Moreover, he has the cultivation level of a master, and can be called a strong man in the army.
"promise."
The deputy general will do it immediately.
"Brother-in-law, is he trying to become a Grandmaster?"
"I've been in seclusion for half a month, and I haven't come out yet."
"My sister gave birth to twins, a boy and a phoenix. I haven't told him the good news yet." Zhou He looked towards the camp master's hall, feeling helpless.
Just a few days ago.
He received a letter from his hometown saying that his sister had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. This made Zhou He very excited, and of course he couldn't wait to tell Zhao Feng the news.
But Zhao Feng was in seclusion and had ordered that no one was allowed to approach.
Just when Zhou He was thinking about it.
boom!
A terrifying force erupted from the palace where Zhao Feng was in seclusion, and countless spiritual energy from the void swarmed towards the palace below.
"Such a strong spiritual energy fluctuation."
"All gathered in the palace where the general was."
"Is it possible that the General is about to break through?"
Inside the military camp.
Countless eyes were focused on the main hall of the camp.
Just then!
boom!
A terrifying pressure spread out instantly.
It was as if thunder suddenly appeared in the void.
This pressure spread rapidly.
Even the entire void was shaken.
"Brother-in-law has really achieved a breakthrough to become a Grandmaster?"
"This has not yet been baptized by the ancestral temple."
Zhou He looked on in amazement.
And outside the general's camp.
Under the protection of many bodyguards.
Several generals looked at the camp in surprise.
"The aura of a grandmaster."
"Zhao Feng's aura."
"This kid actually broke through to the Grandmaster level?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Ying Chengjiao's face.
"Mr. Chang'an."
"Zhao Feng is only in his teens now, right?"
Wang Ben on the side also asked in surprise.
"kindness."
Ying Chengjiao nodded, his expression filled with shock. "He was thirteen when he joined the army, and now it's been less than three years, so he's only fifteen."
"A fifteen-year-old Grandmaster."
"This talent is truly incredible." Wang Ben said with great emotion.
"This kid is really surprising."
"When I first met him, he was hiding his incompetence. I didn't expect that he would successfully break through to the Grandmaster level in less than three years, and he didn't even use the baptism of the Ancestral Temple to break through."
“This talent is too strong.”
Ying Chengjiao was also quite emotional.
After continuing for a while.
This terrifying pressure also dissipated.
The breath is steady.
Inside the palace.
"I have finally become a martial arts grandmaster."
"Now I am truly qualified to serve as the general of the Lantian Camp."
Zhao Feng opened his eyes and felt the powerful strength of his body, feeling very excited.
Ever since receiving the imperial edict from the King of Qin appointing him as the supreme general, Zhao Feng has been both excited and terrified.
He was excited because he had obtained his current position through his military achievements. According to his military achievements, he was indeed qualified.
But my own strength is not worthy of it.
Because there are many commanders in the Qin army who have the strength of grandmasters. Although he has reached the position by virtue of his military achievements, his strength has not reached that of a grandmaster, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among many generals in the army.
So Zhao closed himself off to practice in order to break through.
After more than half a month of continuous attacks, Zhao Feng finally broke through and succeeded.
"Luckily, I have the cultivation resources that my grandmaster left me. The space ring he gave me is definitely enough for me to cultivate to the peak of Grandmaster."
"Maybe he has already calculated it for me."
Looking at the space ring in his hand, Zhao Feng's eyes were full of gratitude.
If it weren’t for my own grandmaster.
Not to mention the Grand Master.
Perhaps he has never even reached the innate level of martial arts.
If you want to be successful in cultivation, skills, martial arts, resources, and talent are all indispensable.
"but."
"The technique that my grandmaster taught me to practice doesn't seem to be complete."
“I always feel like there’s a realm beyond Grandmaster.”
"But it is said in the world that the Grandmaster is the pinnacle of martial arts."
"This has been passed down through the ages, it can't be fake, right?"
"Is there really a realm above the Grandmaster?"
After breaking through to the Grandmaster level, Zhao Feng also cultivated to the last level of the skills left to him by his grandfather.
But after practicing, Zhao Feng always felt that this technique had another level.
Just when Zhao Feng was thinking.
"General."
"General Ying, General Wang wants to see you."
The commander of Zhao Feng's personal guards shouted outside the palace.
"Please."
Zhao Feng came to his senses and shouted immediately.
I stood up as well.
The palace door opens.
Ying Chengjiao and Wang Ben walked in one after another.
Seeing that the pressure from the Grand Master had not yet dissipated from Zhao Feng.
Ying Chengjiao smiled, then pretended to salute: "This humble general greets the general."
"Brother Ying, please don't be like this."
"I'm afraid."
Zhao Feng glanced at him unhappily.
After they joined the army and made their mark, the two of them called each other brothers.
I don’t know what will happen in the future.
"Hahaha."
"You kid."
"You can accomplish great things without saying a word."
"Now their official positions are higher than mine." Ying Chengjiao said jokingly.
of course.
This is also a joke.
Ying Chengjiao was naturally convinced that Zhao Feng was promoted to general.
And now that Zhao Feng has successfully broken through to the Grand Master level, he is even more worthy of this position.
"Good luck." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
This time!
He looked at Wang Ben standing aside.
Zhao Feng immediately clasped his fists and said, "General Wang, I have long heard of your great name."
"General Zhao, you are so honored. I have long heard of your great name." Wang Ben said with a smile.
"Brother Ying, is there something important that brings you here this time?" Zhao Feng asked.
"The king's edict."
"Order Lishan and Hangu to return to the main camp to rest and replenish the troops."
"Except for the deputy generals who stay in the main camp, the main generals can enter Xianyang to be baptized in the ancestral temple, and can also enter the ancestral temple to select martial arts techniques."
"The king specifically instructed you to enter Xianyang."
"Originally, I was supposed to let you enter the ancestral temple for baptism and break through to the Grandmaster level. Now it seems that I underestimated you. You actually broke through without the help of the ancestral temple baptism."
Ying Chengjiao smiled and told his purpose.
"The Lantian Camp was just built."
"Will it be okay if I leave?"
"The king has instructed that the camp should be set up." Zhao Feng asked.
"The king has approved your proposal for a criminal army, but it will take time to reorganize it."
"With the speed of our war horses, we can return to Xianyang in ten days."
"It won't take a month to go back and forth."
"Wait until the time comes to return to Zhao."
"You can take a trip back home." Ying Chengjiao said with a smile.
"So, I understand." Zhao Feng nodded.
"This is a gift from the great king. Entering the ancestral temple for baptism will definitely help you consolidate your cultivation and even make further progress. Of course, entering the ancestral temple to select a cultivation technique is a rare opportunity."
"In the world, if we talk about the most and strongest martial arts classics, it must be our Great Qin Ancestral Temple."
"You must seize this opportunity."
"And I heard from the king that there may be a different opportunity this time." Ying Chengjiao smiled mysteriously.
"Thank you, Brother Ying, for the reminder." Zhao Feng nodded immediately.
"Brother-in-law."
"You're finally out of seclusion."
"I received news from home. My sister gave birth to a pair of babies for you, just like you and your sister, boy and girl twins."
Zhou He ran into the hall and said excitedly.
"real or fake?"
Zhao Feng's eyes lit up and a look of excitement appeared on his face.
"real."
Zhou He nodded immediately.
"Great."
"I actually have a son and a daughter." Zhao Feng was very excited.
"Are you kidding me, kid?"
"In your teens, you already have children?" Ying Chengjiao looked at Zhao Feng in amazement.
"We got married before I joined the army."
"I didn't expect that my wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl." Zhao Feng smiled widely.
"Haha."
"Mr. Chang'an."
"You're already in your twenties and you only have one boy, but I already have two."
"You have to work harder." Wang Ben said with a smile.
"You are really annoying, kid. You have such a high talent in martial arts, but I didn't expect your family is so well-off too." Ying Chengjiao said with great jealousy.
Zhao Feng laughed and said, "Brother Ying, when will you set off to return to the capital?"
At this moment, Zhao Feng was naturally eager to go home, first to Xianyang, and then to Shaqiu.
"immediately."
Win the way to become a dragon.
"it is good."
Zhao Feng nodded immediately.
"Brother-in-law."
"You're going to Xianyang?"
"What about Lantian?" Zhou He was stunned and asked immediately.
"Aren't you and Zhang Han here?"
"You must do your best to recruit the surrendered soldiers. After screening, reorganize them into three main camps."
"I will be back within a month." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Ok."
Zhou He nodded, but in fact he also wanted to go back with them.
"I'll go back first this time. You can go back after I come back." Zhao Feng said immediately.
"it is good."
Zhou He laughed immediately.
……
Xianyang!
The Great Palace!
today.
It was a grand event for the Qin Dynasty.
All the generals who went to the war against Zhao State have returned.
of course.
In the state of Wei.
There was still one main general left behind, Yang Duanhe, the grandmaster general.
Therefore, Wang He also returned.
More than a dozen warriors exuding murderous aura stood in the hall. Even though they were not wearing armor or uniforms, they still exuded a compelling aura.
This is the great Qin general.
"I will see you, Your Majesty."
All the generals bowed to Ying Zheng who was in a high position.
The generals of the four camps all paid their respects.
Behind them are the commanders of the major camps.
But now.
All of them are grand masters, without a single one.
In particular, Zhao Feng, who stood in the row of generals, attracted special attention.
"This is Zhao Feng, right?"
"It's just like the rumors say, he's too young."
"My Daqin joined the army at the age of fourteen, and he has only been in the army for three years, so he is only seventeen years old."
"Seventeen-year-old general, a master warrior."
“This is indeed rare.”
……
All the officials focused their eyes on Zhao Feng, all filled with curiosity.
"The princes are at peace."
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and raised his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
All the generals said in unison.
Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng who was in a high position with some curiosity.
As for the current King of Qin, his power is known throughout the world.
Zhao Feng was naturally very curious.
Moreover, he was able to be appointed as the supreme general and set up the [Lantian] camp, all of which were due to the King of Qin's great courage.
So for this wise ruler,
Zhao Feng was very curious and wanted to see what his king looked like.
Just when he looked up.
Ying Zheng also looked at Zhao Feng.
The two looked at each other.
This look at each other.
Ying Zheng was shocked: "Afang?"
Staring suddenly at Zhao Feng.
Being looked at like this by Ying Zheng.
Zhao Feng felt something was strange and quickly lowered his head and stopped looking at her.
After going on for quite a while.
All the ministers in the hall looked at them in confusion.
Their king was actually staring at Zhao Feng.
This time!
Lu Buwei smiled and said, "General Zhao Feng is indeed a young man with outstanding achievements. He has already reached the level of a master at a young age and has made many military achievements for the Qin Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, this is probably the first time you've seen General Zhao, so you're bound to be a little curious."
Hearing Lu Buwei's voice.
Zhao Feng immediately said, "I have heard of Prime Minister Lu for a long time. I am very lucky to meet him today."
Lu Buwei was famous both in Qin and throughout the world.
The story of Ying Zichu entrusting his son to the care of others before his death.
He assisted the State of Qin without any compromise and was a model of a loyal minister.
Ying Zheng came back to his senses and was slightly shocked: "His eyes are like Afang's!"
