Chapter 277

Give me a few more years to develop, and whether it's Great Tang in the east or the Turks in the north, whether it's Siam in the south or Rome in the west.

I will make them all bow at the feet of Great Qin!

I will make the iron hooves of Great Qin tread upon every corner of this world!

I will restore the glory of Great Qin!

While Zhangsun Wugou and the others were still struggling with Qin Mu's background, Qin Mu had already undergone a complete transformation.

His eyes no longer held only hatred, nor only Great Tang.

As the Emperor of Great Qin, such a perspective was simply too small, far too small.

It could not compare to Qin Mu's former idol.

That eternal Emperor who built the Great Wall to pacify the four seas!

Unconsciously.

A figure seemed to appear in Qin Mu's eyes.

A figure of extreme majesty.

That was...

The figure of the Qin Shi Huang!

"As a descendant of Qin and Han, I am fortunate not to have disgraced my mission, and I am willing to inherit the legacy of my ancestors, to guard the land, expand the borders, pacify the four barbarians, and safeguard the foundation of our China for ten thousand generations!" Qin Mu bowed solemnly toward the sky.

Suddenly!

The figure in the sky turned around, the Emperor's roaring aura making one's whole body tremble.

He smiled!

That was...

A smile of gratification!

In the blink of an eye.

The figure disappeared without a trace.

Qin Mu was somewhat dazed, not knowing if it was an illusion or something else.

But that feeling lingered truly and vividly in his heart.

If the Qin Shi Huang had a spirit in heaven and saw that, hundreds of years later, there was still a young emperor who kept his legacy in mind, he should be able to smile in the underworld, right?

"Brother..."

Just as Qin Mu was deep in thought, Changle's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Qin Mu did not turn his head, but said indifferently: "I am not your brother."

"Well... alright! Perhaps you are right, perhaps this method is not enough to prove our blood relationship."

Changle wanted to argue something, but remembering what Zhangsun Wugou and Li Xueyan had told her, she did not persist.

It seems Brother still cannot accept it.

So be it!

Give him some time.

"Brother-in-law, if... I am just saying if, you really are my own brother. Would you still be so hostile toward Great Tang, toward Father?" Changle clutched her small hands, feeling extremely nervous.

She really wanted to know the answer.

Not just her.

Zhangsun Wugou and Li Xueyan also wanted to know.

"Hostile? No, you are wrong. Perhaps I have long since stopped being hostile." Qin Mu smiled indifferently and said.

"That's great! Since that's the case, then I can rest easy!" Changle let out a sigh of relief instantly.

But what Qin Mu said next left Changle frozen on the spot, her whole body turning cold.

"I just want him to die."

Great Tang, Chang'an City.

Inside the Duke of Zhao's Prefecture.

"Duke of Zhao, what is the reason for calling me here so urgently?"

Du Ruhui walked into the main hall in a hurry.

"Duke of Cai, I have specially invited you to my mansion today to have a chat; naturally, it is for a good thing."

Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard and smiled, feigning mystery.

Seeing that smile, Du Ruhui felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

Who is Zhangsun Wuji?

Known as the number one schemer of Great Tang!

Dealing with him requires eighteen extra layers of caution, or one will be led astray without realizing it.

Previously.

Zhangsun Wuji held a funeral on Vermilion Bird Street, forcing the Emperor to send troops to attack Great Qin in front of all the people of Chang'an City.

Such a tough attitude, such ruthless means.

Apart from Zhangsun Wuji, it is estimated that no one else could have thought of it.

"Duke of Zhao, what exactly is the good thing? Let's hear it!"

Du Ruhui did not want to play riddles with Zhangsun Wuji and asked concisely.

"Hahaha! Duke of Cai is as impatient as ever. In that case, I won't keep you in suspense."

"Someone, bring it up!"

Following Zhangsun Wuji's order, a servant respectfully placed a book in front of Du Ruhui.

"This is?"

Staring at the book before him, Du Ruhui's expression was somewhat complex.

"Duke of Cai, this is a priceless treasure I spent a great deal of money to acquire; what do you think?" Looking at Du Ruhui's expression, Zhangsun Wuji smiled slightly, thinking he had been startled.

And it was no wonder.

Not to mention that this book was already a rare treasure in the world.

Even the paper and the calligraphy of this book were almost flawless.

Especially the paper of this book, which was smooth and supple, and could be stored for a very long time.

And as far as Great Tang's current technology is concerned.

It is simply impossible to produce paper of such quality.

In other words.

The value of this book must be immeasurable.

Let alone Du Ruhui.

Even Zhangsun Wuji himself was greatly shocked when he first saw this book.

"This book is indeed not bad."

Du Ruhui nodded with some difficulty, appearing not very interested.

Hmm?

Du Ruhui usually treats books as his life; what is wrong with him today?

Seeing such a priceless rare edition, he is not moved at all?

There must be a hidden reason for this!

Zhangsun Wuji frowned and speculated secretly.
