Chapter 97

Following the order, the people of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion quickly took action.

At this time, the news here had also reached Ying Zheng’s ears.

The third chapter is presented; I kneel and beg everyone for subscriptions and support!!

“Gai Nie, what exactly is going on?”

“Again and again, imperial officials have died at the hands of this Ghost.”

“Even if this Ghost is seeking revenge for Mo’er, there’s no need to trample the face of my Great Qin underfoot, right?”

Ying Zheng’s weak yet furious voice sounded in the palace.

At this moment, he was like a lion king who had been provoked.

His entire body radiated an aura of fury.

As the King of Great Qin, as the First Emperor of Great Qin,

he had supreme power and a status that others could only look up to.

But someone had suddenly appeared within Xianyang City,

repeatedly slaughtering his imperial officials.

The first time, he could ignore it.

The second time, thinking that this person was for his Mo’er, he could also endure it.

But this third time,

this Ghost had killed his own brother.

Although he had once harbored killing intent toward Zhao Mingqu,

he had ultimately not executed Zhao Mingqu.

Could this not clearly show his meaning?

“Your Majesty, you also know that the Ghost is investigating what happened five years ago.”

“Zhao Mingqu being killed by the Ghost means that Zhao Mingqu also participated in the matter five years ago.”

“Five years ago, it was they who made Young Master Mo unable to return safely from the border.”

“It was precisely because of this group of people that my Great Qin fell into chaos.”

Gai Nie rarely spoke so many words.

He followed by Ying Zheng’s side,

acting more as Ying Zheng’s enforcer,

helping Ying Zheng handle everything.

But these people had harmed his most excellent student.

Gai Nie now closed his eyes, and the image of Young Master Mo from back then would surface in his mind.

That was such an outstanding talent.

Just because of these people’s ambition, he died tragically at the border.

The furious Ying Zheng, after listening to Gai Nie’s words, fell into silence for a moment.

“He was for Mo’er.”

“He was for my Qilin son.”

The further he spoke, the smaller Ying Zheng’s voice became.

From those majestic eyes of his, one could also see a trace of sadness.

He thought of that son who made him proud once again.

Unfortunately, this son would never return.

He would also be unable to hand over Great Qin completely into this son’s hands.

“I want to see the Imperial Father.”

“Imperial Father, your son has an urgent matter to request an audience.”

Outside the door, an unusually arrogant voice suddenly sounded.

When Ying Zheng heard this voice, the sadness in his eyes flashed and vanished.

That Emperor of Great Qin returned to him once again.

“Let him in.”

At this moment, Ying Zheng’s voice was low and majestic.

Even though he was weak, it still couldn’t hide the thick domineering aura all over his body.

Gai Nie had also disappeared from the palace after hearing that voice.

Outside the hall,

Hu Hai, after hearing Ying Zheng’s voice, pushed aside the palace attendants before him.

He walked respectfully into Ying Zheng’s hall.

Seeing Ying Zheng on the sickbed, who was weak but couldn’t hide his domineering aura,

a flash of regret crossed Hu Hai’s eyes.

After his most excellent brother died,

Hu Hai was full of ambition for the position under Ying Zheng’s buttocks.

“Imperial Father, have you heard about what happened outside Xianyang City this morning?”

Hu Hai lowered his eyes, hiding the ambition in his eyes.

But what he didn’t know was that,

from the moment he entered this palace, Ying Zheng’s gaze had been locked tightly onto him.

Having recognized countless people and founded the entire Great Qin,

how could Ying Zheng not see the ambition in Hu Hai’s eyes?

In the past, he hadn’t cared about these things.

As his son, how could he not have ambition?

On the contrary, he hoped that these sons of his would compete more for the position under his buttocks.

But now he regretted it.

It was precisely because of this idea of his back then that his proudest son died at the border.

Ying Zheng didn’t know whether Hu Hai had participated in the matter back then.

But he had already become suspicious of Hu Hai at this moment.

“Tell me in detail.”

Ying Zheng didn’t say whether he had heard about it or not.

Hu Hai, after hearing Ying Zheng’s words, assumed Ying Zheng hadn’t heard about what happened this morning.

A flash of excitement crossed his eyes.

Subsequently, he told Ying Zheng everything about Zhao Mingqu’s matter from beginning to end.

Hu Hai had naturally heard about the deaths of Zhao Baili and Zhao Gao.

When he first heard about Zhao Gao’s death, panic had also arisen in his heart.

But soon, he calmed down completely.

He was a Prince of the entire Great Qin.

Apart from Ying Zheng, no one could be more noble than him.

Even if that Ghost wanted to kill him,

it probably wouldn’t be an easy matter.

Hu Hai had full confidence in the strength of the entire Great Qin.

After a secret talk with that person last night,

Hu Hai felt he should no longer sit and wait for death.

He should strike first to gain the initiative.

He should make his move while the Ghost had not yet finished investigating him.

He believed,

that with his strength, he would absolutely be able to cut that Ghost down under his blade.

"Father, this villain is bold and reckless; he has no regard for our Great Qin at all."

"I ask Father to issue an order, sending me to quickly capture this villain and bring him to justice."

At this moment, Hu Hai’s face was filled with righteous indignation.

He displayed his worry for the country to the fullest.

A glimmer of sharp light flashed through Qin Shi Huang’s somewhat cloudy eyes.

This son of his.

He could be considered to have some understanding of him.

He had no great ability, yet possessed an unusual ambition.

If his ability could match his ambition,

it would count as a good thing.

Unfortunately, for this son of his, his ability simply did not match his ambition.

This was not the first time the Ghost had killed someone.

Regarding the previous cases of Zhao Baili and Zhao Gao,

Hu Hai had not stepped forward.

This time,

why did he choose to go and capture the Ghost?

Doubts arose in Qin Shi Huang’s mind.

He remained silent.

Hu Hai, standing to the side, naturally did not dare to speak again; he only kept his head lowered tightly, waiting for Qin Shi Huang’s reply.

The entire hall remained silent for a long time.

"I will leave this matter for you to be responsible for."

"You only need to investigate the cause of Zhao Mingqu’s death; as for the rest, you do not need to handle it."

Qin Shi Huang spoke indifferently.

Although he did not know why Hu Hai was scrambling to handle this matter,

regardless, he was still his son.

The Ghost’s strength was incomparably powerful, and he was even an existence capable of wiping out the Shadow Legion.

When facing such a force, Hu Hai was simply not up to the task.

Qin Shi Huang still had this level of awareness.

He did not want Hu Hai to be wiped out by the Ghost because of his reckless actions.

The death of Ying Mo had left Qin Shi Huang’s heart cold.

Although Qin Shi Huang did not think much of his remaining two sons,

he still had to protect those who needed protecting.
