Chapter 1581

Forget choosing—find Zheng-ge first.

Ying Zi Ye opened his eyes and stood up.

Wang Li beside him watched in confusion.

With all this fuss, Wang Li couldn't make heads or tails of it.

"Your Highness, you are...?"

"No more tea. I'm going to find Zheng-ge."

Ying Zi Ye took out the formation map.

Time was pressing now; he didn't even want to walk.

"Zh... Zheng-ge...?"

Wang Li nearly bit his own tongue.

That form of address was truly terrifying.

He couldn't be calling out to His Majesty, could he?

Wang Li's expression turned exceedingly strange.

As if he were suffering from constipation.

"Wrong wording—it's Father Emperor."

"Time's tight, let's go!"

Ying Zi Ye said it without blushing or skipping a beat.

Then the teleportation gate opened, and he lifted his leg and stepped inside.

Wang Li was utterly speechless.

But the teleportation gate was already open.

He didn't say much more.

He followed right in.

Otherwise he'd have to walk out of Orchid Pool Palace.

The two vanished from the Crown Prince's residence.

Orchid Pool Palace.

Ying Zheng sat at the Eight Immortals table.

Several people stood before him.

Among them, seven or eight figures stood to one side.

General Meng Tian, Han Xin, Feng Quji, and Shangqing Meng Yi were all present.

They had all received Qin Shi Huang's message and hurried to Orchid Pool Palace.

Everyone had been discussing here for quite some time.

Yet still no conclusion had been reached.

Still, they were all looking forward to the Crown Prince's arrival.

With His Highness here, this matter would be far simpler.

"Your Majesty, send men to Liaodong Commandery!"

"Now the vast bulk of our forces are concentrated at the First City Under Heaven."

"With trouble in Liaodong Commandery, we should go suppress it."

"And at this point only the Crown Prince can take the field."

"Otherwise by the time we reach Liaodong, it may be too late."

"If we're late and more people get infected, the trouble will be enormous."

General Meng Tian was somewhat worried.

He wondered if this was the great terror the Crown Prince had spoken of.

Too bad the Crown Prince wasn't here—otherwise they could have asked him.

"The Grand General is right; we should head to Liaodong Commandery at once."

"If we delay, more people may be infected."

"This could be a plague—we must stop it outside the borders of Great Qin!"

Feng Quji and the others also volunteered, requesting an immediate departure.

"My dear ministers, please calm yourselves."

"The situation in Liaodong Commandery is still unclear."

"We'll discuss this once the Crown Prince arrives."

Ying Zheng was also a bit anxious.

This sudden outbreak of people-eating-people had left him helpless.

It had happened too suddenly.

The messenger sent back from Liaodong Commandery had taken no small amount of time.

God only knew what Liaodong Commandery had become in these past days.

If the plague's spread widened, the consequences would be unthinkable.

The people present, hearing the Crown Prince spoken of thus, couldn't help but nod.

All they lacked now was the Crown Prince; once he arrived, everything would be easy.

"Someone come!"

"Go to the Crown Prince's residence once more and invite the Crown Prince here!"

Ying Zheng saw that Ying Zi Ye still had not come.

He could not help but urge again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A soldier at the doorway turned to leave.

But just at that moment.

A transparent light screen appeared before the soldier.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then seemed to recall something.

"Your Majesty, Zidian has arrived!"

The soldier returned to his original spot.

They had seen the teleportation gate before.

Throughout all of Great Qin, only Zidian could use this teleportation gate.

The appearance of the teleportation gate also meant Your Highness has already come.

Sure enough.

Two figures walked out of the teleportation gate.

It was precisely the Crown Prince and General Wang Li.

"Greetings, Crown Prince."

The soldiers outside hurriedly paid their respects.

"Yo, everyone's here."

Ying Zi Ye waved at the soldiers, then lifted his leg and walked in.

"Greetings, Father Emperor."

"You brat finally came."

The moment he saw Ying Zi Ye, Ying Zheng's anxious heart also calmed down.

It was a very strange feeling, like a steadying pill.

Perhaps it was because Zi Ye had done too many incredible things for Great Qin.

That was why he had this feeling.

"Zidian, you've finally come."

"We've been waiting for you so long."

"We've been looking up at the stars and the moon for you!"

"Ye'er, please sit down quickly."

Everyone warmly welcomed Ying Zi Ye.
