Chapter 99: Meeting again, questioning Qin Shi Huang: Do you feel any guilt in your heart!

Alike,

too alike.

This person’s figure was too much like his Mo’er.

But upon sensing the powerful momentum and biting killing intent on this person,

Qin Shi Huang hesitated for a moment.

That’s right.

Just as Ge Nie had said before,

even if Ying Mo’s talent was outstanding,

there was simply no way to leap into the Grandmaster realm within five years.

Qin Shi Huang could clearly feel that the strength of this person opposite him was absolutely above the Grandmaster realm.

Even he could feel a faint sense of threat from this person.

This person’s strength was definitely not weak.

"You are the Ghost."

Qin Shi Huang spoke.

He wanted to hear this person’s voice.

Ying Mo’s thin lips, hidden beneath the mask, pursed slightly.

Upon seeing this figure,

a sour feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

He had not suddenly arrived in Great Qin out of nowhere.

When he first arrived in Great Qin, he was just an infant.

As Qin Shi Huang’s eldest son, as a prince with outstanding talent,

he had also grown up at Qin Shi Huang’s knees since childhood.

Although he had memories of his past life, Ying Mo still had a natural closeness to Qin Shi Huang.

This was also the reason why he had such complex emotions toward Qin Shi Huang.

"That’s right, I am the Ghost."

A hoarse voice rang out.

This voice revealed a trace of twilight.

It seemed like the voice of an old man.

Upon hearing such a voice, the light in Qin Shi Huang’s eyes seemed to dim by a fraction.

His Mo’er could absolutely not have such a voice.

Perhaps,

he really had seen wrong.

Qin Shi Huang’s hand beneath his robe slowly clenched.

His body, which had just taken the elixir, felt a wave of weakness once again.

But he held on.

His face took on a majestic look.

His voice also carried a trace of coldness.

"Do you know that the Zhao Gao and Zhao Mingqu you killed were both court officials of my Great Qin?"

When asking this question, a faint sense of oppression emanated from Qin Shi Huang.

Although he knew this person was avenging his Mo’er,

this person’s actions had already trampled upon the majesty of their Great Qin imperial court.

This was something Qin Shi Huang could not tolerate.

If an imperial court lacked majesty, how could it rule over the thousands of commoners across the land?

"Then do you know why I killed Zhao Gao and Zhao Mingqu?"

Ying Mo did not answer Qin Shi Huang’s question.

Instead, he asked a question in return.

He wanted to see if Qin Shi Huang really knew about the events of that year.

"Regardless, Zhao Gao and Zhao Mingqu were both court officials of my Great Qin."

"No matter what crimes they committed, they should have been dealt with by the laws of my Great Qin."

Qin Shi Huang said these words with ironclad certainty.

His emotions toward the Ghost before him were also very complex.

On one hand, he wanted to completely eradicate this Ghost to uphold the strictness of Great Qin’s laws.

But his inner reason told him,

everything this Ghost did was for his Mo’er.

"Your Majesty, are you pretending not to know?"

"Five years ago, these two participated in the plot to murder the eldest Imperial Prince, Ying Mo."

"Thirty thousand Annan soldiers all died in that battle along with the eldest Imperial Prince."

When Ying Mo said these things, he did not control his voice for a moment.

That trace of abnormality was immediately captured by Qin Shi Huang opposite him.

How could Qin Shi Huang not know?

He still remembered the anger in his heart when he received the news back then.

When he learned that his eldest Imperial Prince had died in that battle against the Xiongnu,

he had made up his mind to completely wipe out the Xiongnu.

"Even if they were guilty,"

"they should have been handed over to Great Qin to be dealt with."

Qin Shi Huang’s voice remained low.

But one could clearly perceive that his attitude

was not as forceful as before.

Regarding the abnormal change in Ying Mo’s voice just now,

Qin Shi Huang now looked at Ying Mo with a gaze full of suspicion.

He was so concerned about the events of five years ago.

Could it be?

Could it be that Mo’er really did not die?

"You, you really did not die."

Thinking this in his heart, Qin Shi Huang asked it unconsciously.

Hearing Qin Shi Huang’s words, Ying Mo’s body stiffened immediately.

But he quickly returned to normal.

"I do not know what Your Majesty is talking about."

"I only know that I am a Ghost who survived that battle to seek revenge."

"I will not let go of anyone who participated in the events of five years ago."

"Including Your Majesty."

When he said the last four words,

a thick killing intent erupted from Ying Mo.

This trace of killing intent seemed to make Qin Shi Huang wake up a little.

"I knew nothing about the events of five years ago."

"If it weren't for your appearance, I would still be kept in the dark by those people."

Qin Shi Huang did not know why he began to explain to this Ghost.

He did not know why he was explaining.

But the thoughts in his heart told him,

if he did not explain clearly, something he did not want to encounter would definitely happen.

"Your Majesty’s words are true."

Ge Nie, standing behind, also spoke at this moment.

He also did not know why he spoke.

But he still spoke, deciding to confirm Qin Shi Huang’s words.

After hearing the words of Qin Shi Huang and Ge Nie, the killing-intent-filled gaze of Ying Mo fluctuated.

He was very clear about Ge Nie’s character.

He would never do anything involving lies.

He wouldn't do it for himself, and he would do it even less for Qin Shi Huang.

A cold sneer curled the corner of Ying Mo’s mouth.

"You did not participate in the events of five years ago."
