Chapter 47: The two exchange a tacit look, paper rain from the sky?
As soon as the words of the old General Wang Jian were spoken,
it immediately caused many civil and military officials in the court to show a look of doubt on their faces.
Swish, swish, swish—
Everyone’s gaze,
looked towards the position of the left hand of the attendant behind Prince Zhao for the first time.
Upon looking,
everyone suddenly discovered,
the left hand of the attendant behind the Prince,
seemed to be empty, as if there was no hand inside the sleeve.
Moreover,
there was a faint scent of blood wafting from inside the left sleeve.
At this,
the civil and military officials in the court,
all showed a look of curiosity in their eyes.
And when these words from General Wang Jian fell into the ears of Prince Zhao, a gloomy light instantly flashed in the depths of his eyes.
However,
the expression on Prince Zhao’s face,
at this moment, appeared very calm and indifferent, with no abnormality visible...
“Oh, that matter...”
Prince Zhao chuckled, looked back at the attendant behind him, and then looked back at Wang Jian: “This house slave is ignorant; he committed a minor offense yesterday, so I punished him a bit...”
“So that’s how it is!”
“If a house servant is ignorant, they indeed need to be punished!”
“Otherwise, they could turn the world upside down; they must be disciplined!”
“...”
Many officials immediately began to discuss, and they did not feel anything strange about Prince Zhao’s answer.
After all,
disciplining ignorant house slaves,
for these important civil and military officials of the Great Qin court, was just a common, everyday matter.
Old General Wang Jian, listening to the Prince’s answer, saw a flash of doubtful light in his eyes.
Countless thoughts surged rapidly in his heart, and he stared deeply at Prince Zhao.
However, his face also, like the surrounding officials, showed a look of sudden realization.
“So that’s how it is...”
Old General Wang Jian took a deep look at the attendant behind Prince Zhao who claimed to have been disciplined.
Subsequently,
Old General Wang Jian,
seemed to no longer pay attention to this matter, but turned his head and moved his gaze away from Prince Zhao and the others.
Seeing Old General Wang Jian turn his head away, a gloomy light flashed in the depths of Prince Zhao’s eyes, and even...
a trace of killing intent was flickering!
Of course,
this trace of killing intent and gloomy light was fleeting and imperceptible.
No one noticed that Prince Zhao’s hands under his sleeves were already slightly clenched.
Wang Jian’s words just now had caused a strong impact on Prince Zhao’s heart.
However, Prince Zhao was also a person who had weathered many storms and did not show his emotions on his face, so he concealed it well.
No one saw any abnormality and took everything he said as the truth.
And just at this moment,
Prince Zhao suddenly felt,
a gaze fall upon him, so he turned his head to look in the direction from which the gaze came.
Subsequently,
Prince Zhao’s gaze,
met Li Si’s gaze!
As their gazes met,
light flickered slightly in Li Si’s eyes, and he nodded imperceptibly to the Prince, then turned his head away.
Not saying a word.
There was no verbal communication between the two sides; it seemed as if nothing had happened.
And just at this moment,
the eunuch announced the start of the morning court,
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng was about to arrive!
Instantly,
the vast Qilin Hall,
immediately quieted down from the noisy discussion, and all the civil and military officials returned to their proper positions.
Inside Xianyang City.
The people from the Eastern Depot had already prepared to execute the plan.
The person in charge of this plan was Cao Zhengchun of the Eastern Depot.
The fact that Cao Zhengchun was personally in charge of this plan showed how highly the Eastern Depot valued it.
Inside an Eastern Depot stronghold, Cao Zhengchun had a serious expression, his gaze sweeping over the Eastern Depot men below.
“The plan is about to start!”
In Cao Zhengchun’s eyes, a cold killing intent flashed, and he said murderously: “This plan concerns the Young Master’s grand strategy; you must give me your full attention, and there must not be the slightest mistake...”
“You must stir up the biggest waves in Xianyang City in the shortest amount of time...”
“Do you understand?!”
His cold gaze swept over the group of Eastern Depot men, and Cao Zhengchun’s sinister voice felt like a cold wind blowing over them.
“Understood!”
The Eastern Depot men did not dare to hesitate and all nodded with serious expressions!
“Begin the operation!!!”
Cao Zhengchun nodded and immediately signaled for everyone to start the operation: “Distribute the prepared flyers throughout Xianyang City and make the commotion bigger...”
Following his order, the Eastern Depot men immediately moved the newly made paper flyers out of the warehouse.
Soon,
the Eastern Depot men,
appeared on the streets of Xianyang City...
One could see an Eastern Depot man, holding a stack of flyers, moving quickly through the street, suddenly scattering the flyers in his hand into the crowd.
Clatter—
The paper scattered on the street,
attracting the attention of many commoners in the city!
“What the hell is this??”
“What is this person throwing? Why have I never seen this thing before?”
“There is writing on this? This thing can be written on? This is much better than bamboo slips...”
“What is written on this? I am illiterate, can someone who can read tell me...”
“...”
Many commoners picked up the flyers scattered by the Eastern Depot men and discussed them.
One flyer,
drifted in front of Li Si.
A look of surprise flashed in Li Si’s eyes, and he picked up the flyer.
He was a literate person, so after picking up the flyer, he began to read the content on it.
“Rumble!!!”
The moment Li Si saw the content on the flyer, he felt a series of roars and explosions in his mind, and he was completely stunned!
A look of intense horror appeared on his face, and a stormy sea surged in his heart!
“Five years ago, died in battle outside Yanmen County in the northern border of Great Qin...”
“His Highness Prince Mo and tens of thousands of Annan Army soldiers...”
