Chapter 178

he remained kneeling on the ground, kowtowing heavily, begging Made Ying Zheng to spare him.

"Get up."

Seeing that Zhao Mingqu did not get up, Made Ying Zheng's brows furrowed instantly: "I told you to get up, did you not hear me?"

Hearing Made Ying Zheng's voice become slightly more rigid,

Zhao Mingqu was instantly so scared that his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly stood up, though his legs were shaking.

Even though he was once a battle-hardened general.

But in the current situation, facing the awe-inspiring Qin Shi Huang Made Ying Zheng, Zhao Mingqu still felt fear, his body trembling instinctively.

"You are old..."

Made Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Mingqu, who had stood up with a pale expression, and said leisurely: "It is time to enjoy family life and spend your remaining years in peace."

Hearing these words from Made Ying Zheng, Zhao Mingqu's expression stiffened slightly, and a look of horror and confusion appeared in his eyes, not understanding the meaning.

"From today on, you shall remain in Xianyang City and go nowhere else."

Made Ying Zheng revealed a smile on his face and said to Zhao Mingqu: "I will send someone to manage your fief in the Northern Frontier for you."

"The tens of thousands of troops in your fief will also be taken over by Meng Tian."

"From now on, you will just fish and walk your dog every day... and spend your remaining years in peace."

"Is that a problem?"

Made Ying Zheng had a faint smile on his face, and his tone of voice was also very peaceful.

But these words,

falling into Zhao Mingqu's ears,

were like a bolt from the blue, leaving his heart as cold as ash.

Made Ying Zheng was... going to take away all his power!!!

To make him completely a useless Prince, unable to control anything, from now on, without power or influence, just a wealthy man?!

There was a strong sense of resistance in his heart.

Zhao Mingqu did not want to accept this result...

"Hmm?!"

Seeing the expression on Zhao Mingqu's face, which was slightly stiff, Made Ying Zheng's brows shot up, and a deep, majestic light flashed in the depths of his eyes, his voice becoming majestic: "Could it be that you are unwilling? Or, cousin, do you... truly have other thoughts?"

"No, no, no..."

Seeing the change in Made Ying Zheng's expression and hearing his tone, Zhao Mingqu trembled all over, his heart almost stopping, and he hurriedly shook his head: "This subject will strictly follow Your Majesty's instructions!!!"

Although,

Zhao Mingqu was very unwilling,

and did not want to accept this result,

but he knew...

If he refused now, he would immediately be ordered by Made Ying Zheng to be dragged out and dismembered!!!

Made Ying Zheng could truly do such a thing!!!

Although,

he still hadn't fully figured out,

what Made Ying Zheng was thinking in his heart,

but it seemed,

Made Ying Zheng had no intention of killing him...

"Is this letting me go?! As long as I relinquish power and become an idle Prince without power or influence, will everything be peaceful?!"

Zhao Mingqu thought to himself.

Although,

he felt this was very absurd,

and felt that it was impossible for Made Ying Zheng to truly be like this...

But,

now he was powerless,

unable to change anything, so he could only...

Obey Made Ying Zheng!!!

At the very least, he had to obey now, and make other plans after leaving!!!

"Seeing that you look unwell, cousin, you must be tired..."

Made Ying Zheng's expression was peaceful, even with a faint smile, seemingly very satisfied with Zhao Mingqu's reaction, and he nodded slightly to him: "Since you are tired, cousin, then go back and rest well..."

Waving his hand, Made Ying Zheng let Zhao Mingqu withdraw.

"This subject takes his leave!!!"

Zhao Mingqu naturally wished he could be as far away from Made Ying Zheng as possible now!

Made Ying Zheng let him go, so he was naturally impatient, hurriedly bowed to Made Ying Zheng, and then turned and left.

However, the moment he turned to leave,

suddenly his legs went weak,

and he stumbled, almost falling to the ground,

because of extreme fear, his body was somewhat weak at this moment!

Almost falling,

Zhao Mingqu hurriedly reached out to support himself on the ground, then stood up and stumbled out of the palace, walking faster and faster.

Made Ying Zheng watched quietly as Zhao Mingqu walked out of the palace in a disheveled state.

The expression on his face slowly turned gloomy.

In the depths of his eyes,

a cold and sinister light flickered, and he fell into a state of silence.

"Your Majesty..."

Just as Made Ying Zheng was in a state of silence, the figure of Ge Nie appeared beside him, looked in the direction Zhao Mingqu had left, and a look of confusion appeared in Ge Nie's eyes: "Why let him go just like that? It is now certain that he was among those who plotted against Prince Mo five years ago; should you not kill him?!"

Made Ying Zheng's eyes slowly turned cold,

and a cold murderous intent surged from his body, boiling over.

"Of course I want to kill him!!!"

A cold murderous intent appeared at the corner of Made Ying Zheng's mouth: "But... just killing him alone, how is that enough?!"

"I want to use him to draw out more people behind him..."

"I want to kill until rivers of blood flow!!!!"

A murderous voice, as if drifting from the Nine Nether Hell, came from Made Ying Zheng's mouth and echoed in the great hall.

It was as if the entire great hall,

was instantly enveloped by a sinister and cold aura, terrifying and shocking...

Ge Nie listened to these words from Made Ying Zheng, nodded slightly, and understood Made Ying Zheng's plan in his heart.

"Ge Nie..."

Just as Ge Nie's thoughts were flickering, Made Ying Zheng spoke leisurely: "Watch him, see who he contacts, and at the same time..."

"Prevent him from leaving!!!"

"Without my permission, he must not be allowed to leave Xianyang City!!!"

Made Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stood up slowly: "I need to know who will contact him next..."

"... and what forces were involved in plotting against Mo'er back then..."

"The Hundred Schools of Thought?!"

"The remnants of the Six States?!"

"Did these people... all participate in it?!"

Ge Nie listened to Made Ying Zheng's cold words and immediately nodded with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this subject will watch everything."

"Hmm."

Made Ying Zheng responded and waved his hand slightly.

Ge Nie understood the meaning and quickly withdrew from the palace to arrange the matters Made Ying Zheng had entrusted to him. ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
