Chapter 324: The First Emperor: Pass on my decree, ordering the Unparalleled Lord...
Black and white mysterious!
Many years ago, Luowang Tianji first-class assassin once assassinated Zheng Ge. As time goes by, this assassin who once assassinated Zheng Ge has now become a barrier to protect Zheng Ge's safety.
"Xuan Jian, what's the matter?" Zheng Ge, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had an uncertain look in his eyes. He looked at Xuan Jian and asked calmly.
Hei Bai Xuan Jian lowered his head, and his usually calm voice was rarely disturbed. "When Lord Wushuang was fighting against the Western Regions coalition forces, the strongest country in the Western Regions: Loulan, actually drove a dragon covered with golden scales and invulnerable to swords and spears to fight against Lord Wushuang's army."
"what?"
Hearing Xuan Jian's words, Zheng Ge's face changed suddenly. He could hardly believe his ears, and his face was full of shock.
Although Hei Bai Xuan Jian did not dare to raise his head, he knew that the monarch he was loyal to would be in great shock. When Zheng Ge heard the word "unbelievable", he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to believe it either. However, according to the news from the Western Regions, there are tens of thousands of people who have witnessed this dragon."
"Moreover, the fighting power of this dragon is extremely amazing. Even the two masters of the Yin-Yang family, Yan Fei and Yue Shen, joined forces and only managed to fight it to a draw."
Xuan Jian spoke with certainty, and Zheng Ge didn't think Xuan Jian would dare to deceive him about such a big thing.
The Jiaolong, a mythical beast that should not have appeared in the human world, appeared. Even though there were only Zhengge and Xuanjian in the palace, the Sihai Guiyi Palace, which was large enough to accommodate all the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty, was still silent. Zhengge's heart was in turmoil because of the appearance of a mythical beast that did not belong to the human world.
"Where is Jiaolong now?"
After a dozen breaths, Zheng Ge spoke again, his tone filled with unquestionable dominance.
"Your Majesty," Xuan Jian reported the intelligence to Zheng Ge in detail, "According to the spies' report, when the army led by Lord Wushuang was fighting the Western Regions coalition forces most fiercely, a sandstorm suddenly hit and disrupted the battle. After the sandstorm ended, Lord Wushuang and the Loulan High Priest each withdrew their troops."
"The Western Region coalition had 20,000 troops, and with the help of the legendary beast Jiaolong, they were only able to fight a draw with the 10,000 troops led by Wushuang Jun. The Jiaolong was taken back to Loulan by the high priest, in case Wushuang Jun leads his army to attack Loulan next time and Loulan will be unable to resist!"
"Send my secret decree to Lord Wushuang, ordering him to capture Loulan as soon as possible and send the dragon back to Xianyang alive!"
Upon learning that the dragon was brought back to Loulan by the high priest, Zheng Ge's unfathomable eyes sparkled with brilliant light. He remained silent for several breaths before giving an order to Xuan Jian.
"Here."
Xuan Jian lowered his head and accepted the order, then hid in the darkness again to convey Zheng Ge's order.
"Wait!" Seeing Xuan Jian was about to leave, Zheng Ge suddenly remembered something and stopped him.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?" Xuan Jian turned around and waited for orders.
"If I remember correctly, Lord Wushuang has been in charge of the Western Regions for three years!" Zheng Ge stood up from the dragon throne, looking leisurely, his legs stretched out under the wide dragon robe, pacing on the high platform, muttering to himself, "After this battle, the rulers of the Western Regions, as long as they are not fools, should understand the gap between them and our Great Qin!"
"The trade route to the Western Region is now unimpeded. I haven't seen you for more than three years. I miss you a little." Halfway through his words, a light of unknown meaning flashed across Zheng Ge's deep eyes. "Gai Nie betrayed me. With Gai Nie's martial arts and wisdom, the four great guards of Fenglinhuoshan and the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry may not be able to catch him."
"Pass on my decree and summon Lord Wushuang back!"
"Yes." After Zheng Ge finished speaking, Xuan Jian bowed his head and accepted the order.
………………
Hexi Corridor, the unparalleled city.
The battle in the desert ended in a draw.
Indeed, the Loulan High Priest summoned a beast that looked like a real dragon in legend, which shocked the entire Western Region. However, the final result of the battle was that even with the help of the beast that looked like a real dragon, the 10,000 elite Qin troops were still not inferior to the enemy that was twice their number.
Tianxuan even announced in public that he would hold Loulan responsible for this and that he was no longer interested in killing innocent people. The Western Regions countries had either witnessed or experienced firsthand the power of the Qin army, which swept across the world and terrorized the Central Plains. If it weren't for the fact that Loulan had a strange beast called a dragon, it would have been a disaster.
After the sandstorm ended, the rulers of the small countries such as Xiye and Wugan who were at the scene would most likely turn the tables and capture the high priest to offer to Tianxuan. Even though the Western Regions countries were frightened by Loulan's dragon, they did not dare to openly stand on the side of the Great Qin Empire, and they no longer resisted. Except for Loulan, the other Western Regions countries secretly contacted the Qin people.
Tianxuan left three thousand soldiers in the Western Regions to guard the captured cities such as Gumo and protect the trade routes. Then he returned to Wushuang City with the remaining twelve thousand soldiers.
"Greetings, my Lord."
Tianxuan Temple, Xuanyuan Hall.
The temple dedicated to Taoist Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones is also where Tianxuan gathers his trusted subordinates to discuss matters of all sizes.
The Golden Crow began to shift to the west, and clusters of golden light shot into the temple like golden arrows, landing on the statues of Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones, looking extremely majestic.
Under the shrine, Tianxuan took off his cumbersome battle robe, changed into a plain snow-white casual dress, and sat on the armchair.
Xiao He, Cao Shen, Liu Ji, Fan Kuai, Zhang Han, Zhou Bo and other civil and military officials divided into two rows according to their status, and bowed to Tian Xuan who was at the head. The uniform cheers echoed in the temple, which was extremely loud.
Tianxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, a ray of rainbow light shot out from his eyes, and he looked around at the people present. He looked around several times, but did not see the white-haired, old man, whose real name was unknown. The entire Wushuang City, from himself as the city lord to the ordinary people, all called him "Uncle Lu".
"Xiao He, why didn't Mr. Lu come?"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Lu has been ill these days and cannot get up." In response to Tianxuan's question, Xiao He, who became the chief steward of Wushuang City after Tianxuan left Wushuang City, bowed and reported.
"Really?" Tian Xuan did not comment on Xiao He's answer, with an indifferent look, "Then, during the time I was away from Wushuang City, was he well behaved?"
"Your Majesty, generally speaking, he is quite obedient." Cao Shen was unwilling to let Xiao He take the spotlight, so he stepped forward and bowed to Tianxuan. "Some time ago, he obtained a copper ball without any traces of chiseling, and said it was the ninth son of the dragon. During this period, he has been staying in his room and rarely shows up. He should be studying this thing!"
At the end of his speech, disdain appeared on Cao Shen's rough face.
[What's going on? Your Majesty seems to be on guard against Old Man Lu. After leaving Wushuang City, he also ordered Xiao He and Cao Shen to watch him? ]
Tianxuan's conversation with Xiao He and Cao Shen reached everyone's ears. Liu Ji, Fan Kuai, Li Shang, Chen Ping and others all had a good impression of Old Man Lu. When they heard this, they all looked puzzled and had deep questions.
