Reese saw him purposely waving his embroidered long robe to show off his current position in front of Ying Zheng, so his face was covered with a layer of frost and he said with a calm voice, "No need! "Since Big Brother is so busy, I apologize for disturbing you. Goodbye!" After he had finished speaking, he flicked his long sleeve and left.

"Prime Minister Li, then I won't send you off!" Tai Pao intentionally shouted out loud behind him when he saw Liszt rush away. Then, a complacent expression gradually appeared on his face.

Seeing that Reese had walked away angrily without even looking back, a person slowly walked up beside Tai Hu. He respectfully said to Tai Hu, "If Senior Brother Kui dares to neglect such a traitor like Reese, I'm afraid this old man will definitely find trouble with Senior Brother."

Who knew that Tai Hou snorted, and said indifferently: "Does he think he is the Prime Minister Li who has the power and influence of the imperial court? "Now, Ying Zheng has complete faith in me, and not long later, not to mention him, even the entire Qin Dynasty will fall into my hands. Don't tell me that he's still afraid that a mere small Lees will cause trouble for this noble one?"

The man nodded his head to show his support, and then bowed to Tai Jie once again, and said, "Senior Da Zi's words are extremely true."

Tai Hou disapproved of his flattery and instead changed the topic. He asked with extreme seriousness, "How is the task that I arranged for you going?"

The man cupped his hands and reported, "Everything is ready, there is only the east wind. As long as that person arrives, he will definitely not be able to escape. "

Tai Hou listened to the man's report and nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he took out a secret order and handed it over to the man, instructing him again: "Go find Lu Youhai from the Cloud Dragon Workshop. He is known as the 'God Hand Sage', and he will have a way to help you."

"Yes." That person had received Taihu's secret order and was ready to take over. However, just as he was about to turn around, he was blocked by Taihu with a wave of his hand.

The man was startled and quickly raised his head to see what Taihu had to say. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother, as long as you complete this task, in the future, I will take control of the Qin Nation's affairs. It will definitely benefit you."

Ever since he had taken control of the Deep Dark Ink Residence, he had always been on the left and right side of Taikou. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with the way Taiju handled things, he had witnessed the brutal deaths of Liu Yunbing, Liu Yunbing, and the rest of them one after the other at the hands of Taiju. From this alone, one could tell how profound and sinister Taiju's martial arts skills were, so he naturally had some reservations in his heart, and even if he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to reveal them, and could only silently carry out his orders, not daring to make a mistake in the slightest. Now that he was suddenly greeted with such kind words from Tai Hu, he couldn't help but be stunned. He then said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Kui Zi."

Grand Preceptor Xie cast a sidelong glance at Xuan Ming, and revealed an evil smile on his face. Then, he took light steps and headed towards the direction of Qin State's palace.

Ever since his last visit to the Deep Black Residence was rejected, the hatred in his heart had been endless. Ever since he had become the Prime Minister of the Qin Nation, everyone in the dynasty had been controlled by him. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? Therefore, he secretly vowed to himself that at a suitable time, he would give Tai Qing a surprise to avenge the humiliation he received that day.

Today, he was looking through the reports of the various counties and counties. After flipping through a few sheets of paper, he suddenly realized that the reports of the county governor, who had always been respectful to him, were vague. It was obvious that they were perfunctory. So it turned out that there were many people among the county governor's group who had seen him in the great hall like an unwounded immortal. Despite being treated so kindly by the Duke of Qin, they had all treated him like a god and worshipped him for the path of immortality. This kind of person might be rich, but in the end, just like Ying Zheng, they were still worried that they would not be able to live as long as they could, which was why all of them sought the Dao of immortality.

The more he thought about how Taihang had used his crafty magic to trick those officials and Ying Zheng, making them turn around without even putting him, the Prime Minister, in his eyes, the angrier he became. Under his rage, with a loud "Pa", he smashed the paper in his hand onto the ground and shouted angrily, "Thief bird, I am at odds with you!"

His angry curse attracted the attention of the servants waiting outside the house. They hurriedly rushed to Reese and asked him what had happened. Although Reese hated too much in his heart, how could he say such a secretive thing like this as if he were a servant? With a wave of his long sleeve, he ordered "all down".

However, who knew that right after these servants left, Reese, who was holding his forehead with one hand, suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming towards him from inside the room. He had originally been extremely vexed, and upon hearing these footsteps, he thought that some ignorant servant had come to cause trouble. Without even looking at them, he shouted angrily, "Didn't he make you all withdraw? What are you still doing here!? "

When the sound of footsteps heard Reese's angry shout, they hurriedly knelt to the ground and respectfully reported, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, it is Lord Cheng Kang from the Ministry of Rites who has requested an audience."

Among the disciples who had been gathered in Xianyang City, there were some like Huli, Zhang Dingdang, Xiao San, and the other famous ones among the hundreds, but they had disappeared after going to Yanji City. Among the remaining guests, most of them were scholarly people, and it was difficult for them to have absolute skills. Reese spent a lot of money on a bunch of mediocre and incompetent people. This made Reese's original plan of "going east and going east" come to naught. Instead, his position in the imperial court gradually declined. The so-called "going east to make progress in politics" was to convince the Duke of Qin to go east. After annexing the other kingdoms one by one, he would establish a prestige that no one in the imperial court could match and obtain the power to decide in the imperial court and the fields of the Qin.

Now that no one was around to use him and he was extremely anxious, he had no choice but to consult with Taihang. Unexpectedly, he had to eat too much, just like a tiger falling to the sun and being bullied by a dog. Now that he heard that the servant had come to report that it was Department of Rites' Chen Kang, that Chen Kangyuan was merely a sycophant, with no outstanding person. Thus, he impatiently said, "Tell this prime minister that he is busy with official business today, and will not see you."

"But ?" The servant originally wanted to say something, but when he raised his head and saw Liszt's anxious expression, he was afraid that he would anger him. Thus, he had no choice but to reply, "Yes." After receiving his orders, he went down to pass them on.

Unexpectedly, just as the servant was about to withdraw, he heard a low voice shout, "Slow down! Let him come and meet you." The servant was stunned by the sudden turn of events, and only after a long while did he react. "Yes." Thus, he hurriedly turned around and passed on the message, afraid that if he hesitated even a little, he would be met with another unforeseen event.

Why did Reese suddenly change his mind? Although this Chen Kang was a flattering person, he was also very loyal to Reese, unlike those servants who followed the wind. Furthermore, every time he came to spread the news, although it was not some peerless secret, it was worth it to know. The last time he came to report to Master Yan, Reese still remembered it deeply. That was why when Reese thought of this, he ordered someone to send him.

Not long after, Chen Kang rushed forward with small steps. When he saw Reese prostrating himself before him, he waved his sleeves and called out, "This humble one, Chen Kang, greets the Prime Minister." When Reese saw him bow his head and touch the ground, she was more respectful than anyone else. She couldn't help but tease him with a smile, "Sir Chen is indeed worthy of being the chief of the Ministry of Rites. You actually used such meticulous etiquette."

Chen Kang hurriedly said, "Of course, of course."

"I wonder what is the matter that Sir Chen wants to talk to me about today?" When Reese saw Chen Kang's flattering look, the worries in her heart immediately subsided. She immediately asked Chen Kang with a smile.

"Does the Prime Minister not know?" Chen Kang's face was suddenly filled with suspicion, "The rumor outside of Xianyang City has already spread like wildfire. The mighty general Meng Ao's army was destroyed by the six armies in the Huayin Road, and now the Corner Valley Pass has fallen into the hands of the six armies!"

"What!" When Reese heard Chen Kang's words, it was as if she was struck by lightning. She suddenly stood up, stepped forward, and grabbed Chen Kang by the collar as she shouted, "Say it again!"

"Meng ?" "If General Meng is at a disadvantage in his battle, then his life will be in danger ?" Seeing Reese's angry expression, Chen Kang couldn't help but tremble with fear as he said a few simple words.

This was because Meng Ran had always been an invincible and invincible General of the War God, which was why he was conferred the title of the mighty Great General by the Emperor of Qin. He didn't expect that he would actually perish in the Dao of Huayin, how could he accept this. He pulled Chen Kang's lapel tighter and tighter, asking him word by word with extreme seriousness, "Are you speaking the truth?"

"Qian..." Absolutely true, Meng ? General Meng Wu had already dragged his father's memorial tablet to the Qin Palace ? "He went." Chen Kang trembled at Reese's words. Even when he spoke, he could not catch his breath.

When Reese heard Chen Kang's words, his entire body stiffened. The clothes in his hand loosened unconsciously. After a long time, he indifferently sat down, feeling extremely depressed and hopeless. Originally, he had planned to use this as a way to gain the trust of Ying Zheng. But now, not a single one of them had made a successful return, which had instead made him lose the trust that Ying Zheng had in him. How could he not be depressed? In addition, now that Taihang was using his "Eight Dragons Draconic Policy" mental cultivation method to impersonate Heaven's Mandate Immortal Master, he had already obtained the trust of Ying Zheng. This time, Taihang would definitely gain the upper hand, and the humiliation of being humiliated would be even harder to repay, so how could he not despair?

Chen Kang saw that Reese was sitting there in a daze, his face filled with despair. He was also a little frightened as he cautiously asked in a low, probing voice, "Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Li?" General Meng Wu is already close to the Qin Wang Palace, should we go take a look as well?

Suddenly, when he heard the two words' Meng Wu ', his face couldn't help but twitch. Suddenly, he turned his head and said to Chen Kang, "You said that Meng Wu has already taken his father's memorial tablet and gone to the Qin Palace?"

"Yes, General Meng Wu is already grieving. He's determined to ask the King for permission to go out and avenge his father." Chen Kang replied immediately.

When Reese heard this, a light flashed through his mind, and his entire body shivered. Suddenly, he raised his head and laughed out loud. A fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and he said with a firm voice, "Aren't we going to rely on misfortune? "You are too arrogant, let's see how you will take it off this time!"

Chen Kang saw that Reese had suddenly become this terrifying, but he didn't know what exactly had happened. He just stood there in a daze, then he carefully called out, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister?"

Reese did not respond to Chen Kang's shout. Instead, he turned his head and said to Chen Kang, "Sir Chen, please report this to the six official departments on my behalf. We will follow General Meng Wu to the imperial court and ask for orders from the King!"

Although Chen Kang didn't know what Reese wanted him to do, he merely nodded his head and complied with the imperial edict. He then went to report Reese's orders to the civil officials and the six officials of the Qin Dynasty.

At this moment, the Qin Wang Palace was shrouded in a layer of grief and solemnity. In the long corridor of the main hall, there was a head wrapped in a white cloth, with a spirit tablet in his hand, and on it was written: "Honorable Father, the mighty general has an arrogant position", while the person holding the spirit tablet was staring at them angrily, with tears on his cheeks. However, the grief and anger on his face had already faded a lot, and he slowly walked towards Qin Wang's meeting hall. Behind him was also a group of people dressed in white, holding long curtains in their hands. Most of their expressions were similar to that person's, and they were all glaring at each other in succession.

This man was Meng Wu, the son of Meng Wu. Meng Wu had heard that Meng Wu had lost his father and that he had lost the Corner of Corner, so he didn't believe him until Pang shui showed up and told him the whole story. Then he fell to the ground like a thunderclap. However, this unruly army of tens of thousands had all died in the Dao of Huayin, so how could Pang shui survive? It turned out that when he had noticed the giant rock falling from the sky, he had immediately realized that he had been ambushed. Thus, in the ensuing chaos, he had managed to slip under the corpses of several soldiers in order to escape this calamity. When the snow had covered the mountain, Jing Ke and the rest had already left. Pang shui once again crawled out from under the dead body. After a few rounds, he finally found Meng Wu, the son of Meng Ran, and told him everything that had happened that day. Meng Wu knew that Pang shui and Meng Ao were old friends, so he was convinced of the news. As soon as he heard the news of his father's death, Pang Liangliang was saddened, but he was unwilling to lose, so he urged Meng Wu to go to the side to request an order from the Duke of Qin. Meng Wu was both bitter and indignant, and without hesitation, he agreed, and together with the soldiers of the old tribe, he dressed in their clothes and filial piety, drew up the curtains, and arranged a long line to send their souls to the imperial court.

The steps to the imperial court were four hundred and fifty meters long. When one looked from the seat of honor at the main hall to the end of the corridor, one could only see a figure the size of an ant. However, at this moment, the officials were standing on both sides of the walkway with Meng Wu's hands holding the lucky spirit tablet. Every three steps they took, they heard a polite voice from the side, "Kneel!" As soon as the last syllable was spoken, the generals and officials of the Meng Family knelt down and kowtowed three times towards the main hall. They then got up and continued to walk forward. After another nine steps, he heard etiquette call out: "Kowtow!" Meng Wu then led everyone to kneel again, only this time it was nine kowtows. He repeated this until Meng Wu reached the bottom of the steps of the Ying Zheng Corridor. Below the steps was the shortest distance a group of officials could get to the Sovereign King. All the civil and military officials could only report this to the military officials. If there were any important reports, they would only be passed around by eunuchs, and no one else was allowed to set foot on them. This was the rule set by Ying Zheng in order to avoid being ambushed by assassins.
