Chapter 1 The Stranger Who Fell into the Palace of Qin
In the 25th year of the Qin Dynasty, in the Qin Kingdom, Xianyang, in the palace, the supreme king of Qin - Ying Zhengzhi was sitting in front of the case, with joy between his majestic brows.
He is really happy today. He has just received a secret message from the front. King Jian of Qi has surrendered and will be escorted to Xianyang in the near future.
This means that the last country of the Six Kingdoms has surrendered under his feet, and the goal of unifying the world has been achieved.
Ten years of attack are successful today. From now on, there will be only one king and one country in the world!
Not even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient times could achieve such a great feat, but he did it. He wanted the world to only listen to the voice of one king, write the same language, and all carriages use the same wheelbase...
Everywhere the sun and moon shine is the land of Qin, and wherever the rivers come, everyone sings Qin opera!
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the happier he became.
How can such joy be enjoyed exclusively?
Have fun with everyone!
When Ying Zheng was thinking about sharing his happiness with the ministers, a "bang" sounded in the hall, like someone falling into the hall from a height.
"Protect!"
Ying Zheng held the sword on his waist with his right hand and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a man falling in the hall, crying out in pain.
Before Ying Zheng could see more, a dozen figures sprang out from the darkness. Several people restrained the man and pinned him to the ground. Several people formed a human wall around him, and the palace door was also opened. A number of guards poured in from outside.
Ying Zheng sat in front of the case, not in a hurry, waiting for the guards to deal with it.
After a while, General Qin reported: "The thief has been captured, please make a decision, Your Majesty!"
After saying this, General Qin pointed to the ground a few meters away and said: "Your Majesty, these things are all gone." They were found from the thief, and they are all things I have never seen before!”
These words aroused Ying Zheng’s interest. He is a minister from a famous family, and his vision and knowledge are top-notch, which he has never seen in the world! There are not many things.
Following what General Qin pointed out, Ying Zheng saw many things placed on the ground a few meters away, each of which was guarded by Qin soldiers.
Ying Zheng looked at these things, and the first one was something he didn’t recognize. The thing was rectangular in shape, less than a finger thick, and the exposed side was pure black and flat. It looked very Smooth, the other side can't see the whole picture temporarily, it seems to be a mixture of white, blue and green.
What it is, what its purpose is, and what it is made of, Ying Zheng cannot tell at all. From the outside, it seems that this thing is neither gold nor jade, nor stone nor wood.
Qin General's voice sounded again: "Your Majesty, when I just got this object, a light shone from the black surface, revealing a strange and beautiful woman."
Strange and beautiful woman? How strange? How to be beautiful?
How does this dark thing shine, and how does it reveal the beauty of a woman?
With doubts, Ying Zheng continued to look at the second item.
This thing is like a rectangular block or a box. It is generally black, with strange dots, lines and holes on it. A white rope stretches out from it, as if it is connected to something.
Qin General pointed to the first thing that was said to be able to reveal a beautiful woman: "Your Majesty, this thing was originally connected with this rope. When I saw it, there was a point on it that was showing green light. , but after pulling out the rope, the green light no longer appears.”
In other words, this white rope is used to connect these two things. It is really interesting and a strange thing that can shine. things.
But what is the purpose of their light? Why should we connect it with this rope?
Where did this thief come from, and why did he appear in his palace?
Ying Zheng became curious about the thief who owned these items, but he did not immediately interrogate the thief to find out his origin. Instead, he looked at the third item.
Ying Zheng still didn’t recognize this item, but he thought it might be a string of money or some kind of ornament. General Qin also had the same idea as Ying Zheng: “Your Majesty, this thing is worn on this person’s waist. , suspected to be made of iron, but it seems to be different."
It is undoubtedly some kind of ornament when worn on the waist, but Ying Zheng has never seen this kind of ornament before, but the world is vast. , it’s not surprising that there are people who like this kind of strange jewelry. Looking at the fourth and fifth items, Ying Zheng also didn't recognize them.
The fourth item is a small rectangular block that is generally green and white with patterned text. According to his superior, the text on it does not belong to any country today. See It is more regular and concise than the small seal script, and the pattern is a few tea leaves, which seems to have been picked directly from the tree and then carved on it, as if it were real.
The fifth item seems to be a transparent bag, and it is also unknown what kind of material it is made of. According to the minister, this object is as thin as silk, and it feels very different from silk. It originally contained something, and was covered with it. Qing was separated separately.
Ying Zheng looked at the last three items. The sixth item was placed in a smaller transparent bag. It seemed to be...a piece of meat?
The thief also brought a piece of meat with him for the assassination?
Ying Zheng looked at General Qin, and General Qin said: "Your Majesty, according to what I see, this must be a piece of pig meat!"
Boar meat?
This thief really brought a piece of meat to assassinate me!
Interesting!
Ying Zheng became more and more interested in the thief, and he looked at the last two items.
The two items are also packed in transparent bags. They are two earth-yellow objects, each one is about the size of a fist and seems to be some kind of fruit. The other is a dozen dry flat red objects. , seems to be some kind of crop.
Looking at these things, none of them were things that Ying Zheng had seen before. No wonder his superior would say, "They are all things I have never seen before."
This made him more and more curious about the origin of the thief.
Ying Zheng looked at the thief who was restrained by the guard. The man’s head was held down by a guard. His appearance could not be seen clearly for the time being, but he could be seen that he was not wearing a crown, had short hair, and was wearing His clothes are also very strange. Anyway, among the seven countries that Ying Zheng knows, none of them can match them.
No, even the Huns in the north and the barbarians in the west are not so strange!
Qin General spoke again at this time: "Your Majesty, according to my observation, the clothes on this person are also very strange. They are neither linen nor silk. I don't know what they are made of."
After looking at the thief restrained by the guards, Ying Zheng looked at the main hall and asked, "Have you ever seen clearly how this person entered the hall?"
General Qin said: "Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that this person appeared out of thin air!"
Ying Zheng did not speak, only looking at a guard who came in from outside the palace.
The guard said: "Your Majesty, I am guarding outside the palace and have never seen this person!"
Ying Zheng nodded and looked at the other guards. The guards in the palace all said that this person appeared out of thin air, and those outside the palace said that they had never seen this person before.
The people who can serve as his bodyguards are all carefully selected and absolutely loyal to him. They cannot lie to him, which means that this person really appears out of thin air.
But how did this person do it?
Is this person a first-class alchemist?
But no matter what the identity of this person is, the method of suddenly appearing in the palace must be understood. If someone with ulterior motives masters this method, it will seriously threaten his safety.
Ying Zheng suddenly thought of many things: "Raise your head and have a look with me!"
The guard who held down his head let go, but the man did not raise his head immediately, but passed by After a while, he carefully raised his head.
Ying Zheng saw that this was a young man, probably in his early twenties, with fair and shiny skin. He could tell at a glance that he was living a good life.
What makes Ying Zheng even more interesting is that when the young man saw him, the hall, and his guards, he looked very surprised, as if he had seen something incredible.
‘I, the palace, is very special in this person’s eyes? ’
Some people may ask why the First Emperor is not called “Zhao Zheng” or “Qin Zheng”, because “Ying Zheng” is the most familiar title that he encounters most every day. In addition, the author is just an amateur history enthusiast with little talent and knowledge. He is definitely not as knowledgeable as readers who are knowledgeable, talented, handsome and wealthy. If there are any omissions, you are welcome to point them out and try to correct them if you can. This is a relaxing novel, I hope it can make you relax, thank you!
