~7 min read 1,228 words

The appearance of the Great Snow Dragon Riders.

Was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake.

Setting off monstrous waves in the Great Qin court and the public.

All forces began to focus on this matter one after another.

The imperial court, the Hundred Schools of Thought, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms...

All began to mobilize their own intelligence networks to investigate intelligence about the Great Snow Dragon Riders.

Everyone wanted to know,

what the origin of these Great Snow Dragon Riders was, and whether it was related to Young Master Mo, who had died for his country five years ago...

In Xianyang City,

in a carriage that looked extremely ordinary on the outside.

The initiator of all the waves, Ying Mo, was sitting in the carriage, flipping through the intelligence information collected by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

The leader of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Lu Li, came to Xianyang together with Ying Mo.

At this time,

Lu Li was using her delicate little hands to massage Ying Mo's legs.

Although Ying Mo's body had been repaired to a certain extent after obtaining the previous rewards.

There were basically no sequelae.

He only needed to rest quietly to fully recover.

Moreover, he was now able to stand up for a short time.

However, because he had been lying on the bed without moving for five years.

The newly recovered thigh muscles could not exert force for a long time for the time being and needed quiet rest.

It was best not to stand or walk for the time being, waiting for the newly grown muscles to fully adapt.

Therefore,

Lu Li now, whenever she had free time,

would regularly massage Ying Mo's leg muscles to help him recover to his original state faster.

Lu Li, who was gently massaging Ying Mo.

Seeing his gaze fall on the name Zhao Baili on the list again.

She spoke softly and respectfully: "Young Master, according to our investigation, this Zhao Baili suddenly left his mansion in the middle of the night five years ago and went out of the city..."

"In a village outside the East Gate of Xianyang City, he met a mysterious person..."

"According to our tracking, this mysterious person left Xianyang immediately after meeting with Zhao Baili and headed straight for Yanmen County in the Great Qin northern frontier..."

"It can now be confirmed that the mysterious person who contacted Zhao Baili is highly likely to have contacted the Xiongnu..."

"Five years ago, Zhao Baili was just a small official in the Office of the Superintendent of Construction, but ever since he contacted the mysterious person, he began to be promoted rapidly, and today..."

"He is about to take office as the Commandant of the Palace Guards!"

"This Commandant of the Palace Guards is the position Zhao Gao previously held..."

"..."

Lu Li reported the intelligence information about Zhao Baili to Ying Mo in detail.

Ying Mo's expression was indifferent, listening to Lu Li's report, and in his eyes, which were as profound as the starry sky, cold light bloomed.

"So this Zhao Baili participated in the conspiracy five years ago..."

Ying Mo put down the list in his hand, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his voice was as cold as the wind in the twelfth lunar month: "Today, he must die."

Inside the carriage.

Lu Li, listening to Ying Mo's cold tone,

feeling the atmosphere inside the carriage suddenly turn cold, her expression changed slightly, and her eyes looking at Ying Mo were full of awe.

Xianyang City.

In Zhao Baili's mansion.

At this time, it was filled with a festive atmosphere.

The servants in Zhao Baili's house all had faces full of excitement.

Because,

today their Master was going to be promoted!

"Master, today you are going to be promoted to Commandant of the Palace Guards..."

Zhao Baili's butler, looking at Zhao Baili who had already packed up and was ready to go out, said with a full face of smiles: "This is a great joy!"

"Haha—"

Zhao Baili listened to the butler's words, his face glowing with health, and he laughed proudly: "Today is my great day of joy; tonight, everyone in the mansion can rest for a day, and the reward money for this month will be doubled!"

"Thank you, Master!!!"

The butler and the surrounding servants cheered instantly, all very excited.

Zhao Baili, under the farewell of his whole family, walked out of the main gate and headed towards the government office.

Along the way,

Zhao Baili met quite a few colleagues,

many of whom came forward to congratulate him,

and were all very envious of his ability to be promoted to Commandant of the Palace Guards.

Listening to the compliments along the way, Zhao Baili was in a very good mood and very proud.

"Eh..."

Suddenly, Zhao Baili saw a familiar figure appear in front, and exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this Lord Meng Yi? Lord Meng Yi, what a coincidence..."

Seeing Meng Yi in front, Zhao Baili immediately walked towards him quickly with a smile on his face.

"Lord Meng Yi..."

Zhao Baili walked to Meng Yi's side and said with a smile: "Today is my great day of joy, and tonight I am hosting a banquet at my mansion. I wonder if Lord Meng Yi has time to come to my mansion for a drink?"

Meng Yi heard Zhao Baili's voice, his brow furrowed instantly, and a look of disgust flashed deep in his eyes.

Turning his head to look, he saw Zhao Baili's face that was smiling but not really smiling.

He saw the proud look in his eyes.

"A petty person who has gained power."

Meng Yi had always disliked Zhao Baili, who was Zhao Gao's nephew, snorted coldly in his heart, and said indifferently: "This official has matters today, so I will not attend the banquet."

Zhao Baili naturally knew that Meng Yi did not like him.

Listening to his words, he sneered in his heart.

But his face was full of smiles, and he said: "That is a pity, but the gates of my Zhao mansion are always open for the High Minister..."

Meng Yi looked at Zhao Baili coldly and turned to leave.

As a High Minister of the Great Qin, if it weren't for the fact that his uncle was Zhao Gao, how could someone like Zhao Baili enter his eyes?

He couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Zhao Baili saw Meng Yi's attitude, felt annoyed in his heart but did not dare to be presumptuous, could only accompany him with a smile, follow Meng Yi's footsteps, and continue to talk to him.

And just at this moment,

a carriage suddenly drove over from the side of the road and stopped directly in front of Meng Yi, blocking his way.

Meng Yi looked at the carriage that suddenly stopped in front of him, and his brow furrowed instantly.

It was not far from the Xianyang Palace now,

on this official road,

how could there suddenly be such a careless carriage directly blocking the way of them, the public ministers and officials?!

I feel like the data isn't moving, wuwuwu, is anyone reading this book...

I beg everyone to make a sound in the book review area, I beg you all. Don't let me be on single-player mode wuwuwu...
