Chapter 100

"Does not mean that those people under your command did not participate in the events of five years ago."

"Can you guarantee that Wang Jian did not participate in it?"

"Can you guarantee that Li Si did not participate in it?"

Every time Ying Mo said a name, Qin Shi Huang’s face stiffened by a fraction.

No,

he could not guarantee it.

Even he himself was suspicious of these people.

But these people were all under Qin Shi Huang’s command.

If all these people participated in it, how could he guarantee that he himself did not participate?

When Ying Mo heard the words of Ge Nie and Qin Shi Huang,

he actually felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

As long as this father of his did not participate in it, that was fine.

He really did not want to make a move against Qin Shi Huang.

After all, he could not forget how Qin Shi Huang had nurtured him as a child.

The scene immediately fell into silence.

Qin Shi Huang could not provide any answer to Ying Mo’s questioning.

He also could not guarantee that Wang Jian and Li Si under his command had not participated in the events of five years ago.

Silence spread.

Qin Shi Huang’s silence also gave Ying Mo a general direction in his heart.

The next person on his must-kill list was originally the members of the Yin-Yang School.

But the strength of the Yin-Yang School was not to be underestimated.

Perhaps he could investigate Li Si and Wang Jian.

The strength of these two was not as formidable as the Yin-Yang School.

Anyway, these people all had to die.

At most, it was just a matter of sequence.

Ying Mo lowered his eyes, having already made up his mind.

He took one last deep look at Qin Shi Huang before him.

Subsequently, he intended to leave this place.

Today, Zhao Mingqu’s corpse was the best sacrifice for the thirty thousand Annan soldiers.

……

……

…….

Ying Mo’s figure moved slightly, just as he was about to leave.

Seeing Ying Mo preparing to leave, Qin Shi Huang immediately stepped forward two paces.

"I will give you an explanation."

"Explanation? I do not need your explanation."

"Five years ago, no matter who participated in that matter,"

"I will use their lives to sacrifice to the Annan Army."

Ying Mo’s tone turned cold.

He had already preliminarily determined that Qin Shi Huang had not participated in the events of five years ago.

"Are you really searching for the truth of five years ago?"

Qin Shi Huang felt a sense of weakness coming from within his body.

His hand unconsciously clutched his chest.

But he did not want to fall; he wanted to continue finding the truth.

"What does the truth of five years ago have to do with you?"

Ying Mo’s tone remained indifferent.

Since Qin Shi Huang had not explored the truth of this matter five years ago,

why bother asking about the truth of that year now?

If it weren't for himself,

if it weren't for the killing of Zhao Gao and Zhao Mingqu,

would Qin Shi Huang really have explored the truth of five years ago?

"I don't care who you are."

"But Mo’er was, after all, my eldest Imperial Prince, and he was the pride of my life."

"I cannot ignore his death."

"Five years ago, it was my fault for not pursuing that matter."

"But now, I want to cooperate with you; I will provide you with help, but you must give me the truth of five years ago."

Qin Shi Huang’s voice was exceptionally deep.

He wanted to find the truth for that son of his.

"Help?"

Hearing Qin Shi Huang’s words, Ying Mo hesitated for a moment.

With his current strength, Qin Shi Huang’s help did not actually provide him with much benefit.

But it would also reduce some unnecessary trouble.

"That’s right, in the entire Great Qin, you can investigate anyone you suspect."

Qin Shi Huang no longer cared about the national prestige of his Great Qin.

He owed that child.

Now that this person was seeking revenge for that child,

he had no reason not to help him.

Ying Mo pursed his lips.

He did not expect Qin Shi Huang to be able to go to this extent.

He thought that by hanging Zhao Mingqu’s corpse at the gates of Xianyang City,

he would completely enrage Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang’s anger was within his expectations.

But he had not expected Qin Shi Huang to choose to cooperate with him.

Not for anything else, but just to find the truth of that year.

Ying Mo fell into silence once again.

After a long silence.

"I agree."

He finally agreed to cooperate with Qin Shi Huang.

Upon hearing Ying Mo finally agree, the breath Qin Shi Huang had been holding in his heart was finally released.

And the consequence of this breath being released was a mouthful of blood surging up from his throat.

Qin Shi Huang could not control himself and spat out a mouthful of blood from his lungs.

Ge Nie, standing behind, immediately stepped forward and reached out to support Qin Shi Huang, whose body had gone limp.

Seeing Qin Shi Huang’s body about to collapse, Ying Mo’s footsteps moved slightly.

Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out and support Qin Shi Huang.

But then he thought of something, and his footsteps stopped tightly in place.

Fortunately, Ge Nie successfully supported Qin Shi Huang and did not let him fall to the ground.

Seeing that Qin Shi Huang was fine, Ying Mo felt a secret sense of relief in his heart.

Qin Shi Huang, to the side, looked at the black-clad man who remained indifferent.

The fantasy in his heart disappeared once again.

If it were his Mo’er,

he would absolutely not stand there indifferently watching him fall.

Qin Shi Huang thought of that child once again.

A trace of sadness revealed itself in his eyes unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Ge Nie asked.

Qin Shi Huang coughed twice, then shook his head.

"I’m fine."

"I’ll be fine after taking a pill."

After speaking, he fumbled to take out a pill from his chest.

Just as he was about to put it into his mouth,

a figure quickly arrived before Qin Shi Huang.

"What is this?"

Ying Mo’s outstretched hand tightly grabbed Qin Shi Huang’s hand.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the elixir in Qin Shi Huang’s hand.

Sensing Ying Mo’s abnormality,

Qin Shi Huang was slightly stunned.

Subsequently, he explained.

"This is an elixir refined by the alchemists in my palace."

"Recently, my body has not been feeling very well, so this elixir..."

Qin Shi Huang’s words were not yet finished.

They were directly interrupted by Ying Mo.

"You are taking elixirs? Who taught you?"

At this moment, Ying Mo’s voice was incomparably cold.

His questioning left Qin Shi Huang speechless for a moment.

"Fool!"

"Do you know that you are being murdered?"

In his anger,

[Garbled/Redacted]

Ying Mo cursed without hesitation.

Regardless of who he was cursing.

Upon hearing Ying Mo’s words, Qin Shi Huang’s pupils widened slightly.

Murder?

How is this possible!

He was the Emperor of the entire Great Qin.

Who would dare to plot against him?

"Absurd, although my body has been somewhat weak recently,"

"it has not yet reached the point where those petty villains dare to plot against me."

Qin Shi Huang’s tone revealed a trace of displeasure.

After all, once this matter was confirmed, it meant there were people with ulterior motives around him.

This meant that the supreme power he had thought he possessed was already like flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror.

How could Qin Shi Huang believe such a thing would happen?

He, as the First Emperor who founded the entire Great Qin.

[Garbled/Redacted]

Held in his hands was the power to control the entire Great Qin.

"Do you really think that those people under you are all loyal to you?"

Ying Mo laughed directly.

He was actually still living in a fantasy.

He did not know that those people under him had already eroded his tower of power to the point of ruin.

"If you still think that your power is held in your own hands,"

"how could the events of five years ago have happened?"

Ying Mo questioned directly.

This questioning of his left Qin Shi Huang stunned on the spot.

The targets of revenge for the Ghost before him were all court officials under his command.

And what he had been investigating all along were the people who participated in the events of five years ago.

This meant that countless people under his command had participated in the events of five years ago.

And he had only vaguely sensed that there was something abnormal about the events of five years ago until now.

Qin Shi Huang’s face began to turn gloomy.

For these five years, he had been kept in the dark by that group of people under him.

And he had never felt that Mo’er’s death was an accident.

"The elixir in your hand is something that will take your life."

"You had better investigate the elixir in your hand clearly, but I think that with you like this, you probably don’t have long to live."

When Ying Mo said this, deep in his eyes, a thick killing intent was hidden.

He did not expect that those people from back then not only wanted to get rid of him,

but they did not even intend to let Qin Shi Huang go.

Perhaps Qin Shi Huang’s body becoming weaker and weaker over these years was also the work of those people.
