Chapter 511 The First Emperor Arrives {Begging for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month!}
have to! have to! have to!
The huge team, covered in rolling dust, marched towards Linzi City.

Horse hooves inlaid with horseshoes fell to the ground, making crisp sounds. In the team, black dragon flags fluttered in the strong wind, and the black dragons on the flags were lifelike, as if they were alive. More than ten luxurious dragon sedan chairs were clustered in the middle, each of which was exactly the same and pulled by six tall and strong horses, making it impossible to tell which one had a person in it.

In front of the gate of Linzi City, Tianxuan was dressed in dark black clothes, with a golden crown on his hair. His nose was like a hanging gall bladder, his eyes were like bright stars, and his ink-black hair was draped over his back. Following closely by his side were Yan Fei, Yue Shen, Da Siming, Shao Siming, Xue Nu, Xiao Yu and others. Beside Tianxuan was Fusu, the eldest son of the empire, dressed in a snow-white robe with handsome features.

The two princes of the empire were in front, and the other ministers of the empire were behind: Guiguzi, the chief priest of Jixia Academy, Wei Zhuang, the soon-to-be-appointed governor of Yingchuan County, Han Xin, the governor of Dong County, and so on. In a corner stood Gai Nie, who was personally named the Imperial Sword Saint by Zheng Ge. Three days ago, Gai Nie appeared alone.

Although everyone knows that Gai Nie has become a rebel in the empire, before that, he was the best swordsman in front of Zheng Ge and a trusted confidant for many years. No one dared to do anything to him without Zheng Ge's order. Today is the day when Zheng Ge arrives. After resting, Zheng Ge will go to Mount Tai to imitate the ancient kings and offer sacrifices to the gods on Mount Tai.

Tianxuan and Fusu simply brought Gai Nie to Zheng Ge and let him deal with this former confidant personally.

"I will pay my respects to your Majesty. May your Majesty live forever!"

As everyone waited, the lord of the empire, the First Emperor Ying Zheng, and his 30,000 armored guards finally arrived. As the team arrived, everyone waiting in front of Linzi City, led by Tianxuan and Fusu, knelt down in unison to pay homage to the Great Qin Shi Huang.

The rolling mountain roars gathered together and turned into a howling gale, acting on the black dragon flags, causing the already spread out flags to whistle.

"Gai Nie, I didn't expect you to dare to come back?"

Although Zheng Ge was inside the dragon sedan, the specially made gauze curtain allowed him to clearly see the outside world. Facing the team led by his two sons, Zheng Ge did not show up immediately, but spoke leisurely. Although his words were domineering, they were erratic, making it impossible to judge which dragon sedan the great Qin Shi Huang was on.

"Your Majesty, I left in order to keep my promise to my old friend."

After being scolded by Zheng Ge, Gai Nie crawled at his feet again and said in a deep voice.

"I can accept that you keep your promise to your old friend." Zheng Ge's words rang out, "But what I cannot tolerate is that you betray me!"

Gai Nie said: "Your Majesty, I have never betrayed you, and I have never taken the initiative to do anything that would harm the empire!"

These words were so powerful that when they reached the ears of others, they recalled what the Imperial Sword Master had done after leaving Zheng Ge. Most of the time, he was the enemy of the Empire in order to protect Jing Tianming! The only few times he took the initiative to become the enemy of the Empire were when the Empire approached him first.

"In consideration of our friendship over the years, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious contributions."

"Your Majesty, please give your instructions." Gai Nie lowered his head, waiting for Zheng Ge's order.

"Meng Tian led 10,000 golden fire cavalry and 20,000 county soldiers to attack the headquarters of the farmers - Daze Mountain." Although Zheng Ge was thousands of miles away, he knew everything that happened in the land of Qi and Lu. "Tianxuan, I heard that it was not going well, right?"

Tian Xuan said in a deep voice: "Father, it is indeed a bit troublesome. Although I gave General Meng Tian the map of the tunnels that Xiong Qi dug in Daze Mountain when he was alive, the Nong family has been operating in Daze Mountain for hundreds of years and has a deep foundation. In addition, in the face of the life and death of the Nong family, the six old guys hiding in the tomb of the six sages of Emperor Yan came out and organized the Nong family disciples."

"The map of the tunnels that Xiong Qi excavated in Daze Mountain during his lifetime?" Zheng Ge's tone was tinged with interest.

Tian Xuan explained everything: "Your Majesty, Xiong Qi had long intended to betray our Great Qin. During his lifetime, he used his power as the Prime Minister of Great Qin to dig tunnels throughout the empire, and all the civilians who participated in the digging were executed by Xiong Qi. These tunnels, apart from Xiong Qi himself, can only be known by those who have obtained the maps he personally drew during his lifetime. According to Xiong Qi's plan during his lifetime, these maps will become an important way for the empire's rebels to assassinate you and launch a rebellion. This is what the empire's rebels call the Qinglong Plan!" "I also made inquiries from many sources before I got all the maps drawn by Xiong Qi. Father, when you settle down, I will present the maps to you."

"it is good!"

Zheng Ge on the dragon chariot was very satisfied with Tianxuan's answer.

[Qinglong Project?]

Kneeling beside Tianxuan, Fusu was filled with sorrow when he learned that Xiong Qi had left such a plan before his death. Fusu had forgiven his uncle after killing Xiong Qi himself. However, when he learned that Xiong Qi had such a plan before his death, he realized once again that Xiong Qi might have some affection for him, but what was more important in Xiong Qi's heart was always the State of Chu!

[Damn it, this is what the Qinglong Project is all about! ]

The Imperial Chariot Officer, Zhao Gao, was also in the team. Zhao Gao had heard about the Azure Dragon Project, but he could not imagine that the so-called Azure Dragon Project was actually the tunnels dug by Changping Jun Xiong Qi in various parts of the empire. If he had known that such a thing existed, he would have used all means to get it.

"Gai Nie, I order you to go to Dongjun immediately and assist Meng Tian's army in conquering Daze Mountain!"

"Here."

Faced with Zheng Ge's order, Gai Nie responded without hesitation and turned away very decisively.

"Your Majesty has entered the city."

"See Your Majesty."

"What a pity that I don't have the chance to see His Majesty's face!"

……

Most of the imperial guards who accompanied the emperor stayed outside the city, and only 3,000 of the most elite Yulin troops escorted Zhengge into the city. Zhengge would rest in Linzi for a few days, visit the Jixia Academy, and then set off for Mount Tai. As Zhengge entered the city, the streets were filled with people who heard the news and spoke in a chaotic manner.

On the faces of these people, who were Qi people a few years ago, there was no resistance to the invaders, but only curiosity about Zheng Ge, the supreme ruler of the empire. Some people even had something that should not have appeared on their faces - admiration and longing.

Bang!

An inn had reopened. When the team passed by the inn, the waiter working in the inn let go of his arm and smashed a coarse porcelain bowl to the ground, breaking it into pieces. A pair of bright eyes, with complex emotions that did not belong to his age, looked at the passing team.

Swish!
Suddenly, a ray of light with a hint of love shot out from the vast crowd, falling squarely on this clever waiter, and a brief message came out:
"You, take care of yourself!"
