Horse hooves neighing in front of Xianyang Palace.

Ying Ziyi rode forward alone, three feet away behind him, and hundreds of knights stood quietly.

"Who is it? Dare to violate the palace ban!"

With a loud roar, the guards of Qin Palace were facing a great enemy in front of the palace gate.

Now that the Qin Emperor is not in Xianyang, the responsibility for guarding the palace lies with the guards of the Qin Palace who are left behind. Any mistake is a serious crime.

What the Qin Palace Guard couldn't understand was how these hundreds of cavalry broke through the guards on the periphery and rushed straight to the front of the palace gate? The most important thing is, why didn't there be any movement at all?

Although the Qin Palace Guards had been separated for a long time, they could see that the hundreds of cavalry in front of them were all fully armed elite knights.

Moreover, unlike ordinary elite knights, their eyes were filled with fearless feeling, as if their thousands of guards were just sheep.

The night was blazing, and in the dark, it was like daylight, shining on the man riding alone.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

The Weiwei who stayed in Xianyang looked at the young man under the palace fire and murmured.

Immediately, the palace gate opened wide and the Wei Wei came out after it.

"Why is Your Highness here?"

At this moment, the news of the emperor's death had not reached Xianyang. Although Wei Wei was surprised to see Ying Ziyi coming here, he had no extra thoughts and walked to Ying Ziyi's horse and asked.

"The father died. Fusu colluded with Changwenjun and Zhao Gao planned to rebel. I came here to mobilize the army in Guanzhong to quell the rebellion."

"What!"

Wei Wei said blankly, feeling both sad and fearful.

Ying Ziyi urged his horse to move forward, hundreds of cavalry followed behind, and no one from the guards stopped them again.

Wei Wei looked at Ying Ziyi's distant figure and said to himself: Is the world going to be in chaos?

However, such thought flashed in Wei Wei's heart, and he quickly walked up and followed Ying Ziyi.

In the palace, Ying Ziyi stood alone, with hundreds of riders holding ring heads and taking over the guards around the palace.

In the hall, Ying Ziyi was independent of the imperial throne and a pool of clear water. Behind him were the gaze generals including the Wei Wei.

Ying Ziyi did not speak, and naturally he did not dare to say anything more than the Qin Palace guards.

But what they didn't understand was, what was the prince waiting for?

Xianyang is the capital of the empire, spanning both sides of the Wei River.

Since Qin unified the world, the Qin Emperor moved 120,000 rich households in Xianyang. Over the past decade, the population of Xianyang has gradually increased, and to this day, there are one million.

Xianyang was originally located south of Jiuji Mountain and north of the Wei River. However, with the increase of population and the development of cities, the current imperial capital Xianyang no longer refers specifically to the old palaces on the north bank of the Wei River and the areas where the ministers and ministers in the Zhou Dynasty lived, but also planned the city on the south bank of the Wei River.

The north bank of the Wei River is where the palaces of the former kings are located, and the Xianyang Palace is also in it. The surrounding area is densely populated and can be said to be the economic center.

And such as Zhangtai, Shanglin, and even the ancestral temples, they are all south of the Wei River.

The new capital Chang'an, which Ying Ziyi reported, was also located south of the Wei River. The north bank of the Wei River was full of people. The construction of the Xindu was to relieve the population pressure on the north bank. The Xindu was outside the palace south of the Wei River. It relied on mountainous and hydrological conditions to build the Weiyang Palace, build markets, and build city walls on flat terrain.

If it is a holistic perspective, the outline of the entire imperial capital is extremely irregular. The Qin Palace in the center uses the surging Wei River as an inland river, like a galaxy. The two banks are separated from palaces, pavilions, towers, and towers, covering a hundred miles, covering the sky and the sun, connecting them to reinterpret roads and corridors. Crossing across bridges, thinking that the north and south palaces are connected.

The Zhangtai Palace where Ying Ziyi is located is located south of the Wei River and is part of the entire Qin Palace system.

Wei Wei and others did not understand that most of the nobles lived on the north bank of the Wei River. Why didn’t the prince go to Xianyang Palace on the north bank and come to Zhangtai Palace?

...

Hu Hai was very happy. Since he received the news of Ying Ziyi's death from Yunzhong County, he has been drinking and having fun at home.

But tonight, it's a little too noisy!

Hu Hai left the palace and opened the palace, and the entire mansion was built on the north bank of the Wei River, near the Xianyang Palace.

This area is where the residences of the nobles and nobles in Guanzhong are located. Unlike the areas where the Qianshou lives, the public security in this area has always been very good.

It's late at night now. Logically speaking, why are there still hurricanes of horse hooves?

The sound of singing in the mansion is played, and the thin-clothed dancer dances with the music, and the lewd wind is strong.

Hu Hai was drunk and his face flushed. His eyes were staring at the dancer in front of him, completely immersed in it.

However, the continuous noise echoed, Hu Hai's heart was disturbed and his brows gradually frowned.

As the noise in his ears grew louder, he finally couldn't help it anymore.

"What's going on?"

Hu Hai stood up in anger and kicked the desk in front of him, which shocked the dancer in the room to lose his appearance. He knelt down and lowered his head, not daring to speak, for fear that the 18th young master's anger would implicate him.

Hu Hai was taught by Zhao Gao and was well aware of the criminal laws of the Qin Dynasty. However, he only focused on the provisions of the criminal laws and governed the government harshly, and he beat the servants at the palace to death. When Hu Hai asked a question, the servants and guards around him were frightened and dared not neglect, so he went to investigate the news.

Soon, they got the result and came to Hu Hai to report.

"The Eighteenth Young Master, it's spreading outside, it's spreading"

"What are you talking hesitantly? Say it quickly!" Hu Hai picked up the wine bottle and smashed it at the servant who was kneeling in front of him, cursing.

"Yes, the knights were passing through the road, and it was said that His Royal Highness had arrived in Xianyang."

"What! This is impossible!"

Hu Hai's eyes were filled with fear and said in disbelief.

"It's true." The servant lowered his head and said, "The young man still found out that the prince had already issued an order to stay in Xianyang, the three ministers and nine ministers, the noble ministers of the royal family, the guards of each army, and all the princes went to Zhangtai to pay their respects."

"Then have they gone?" Hu Hai asked anxiously, as if a drowning man was holding a straw.

If these people don’t go, it proves that there is still room for things to turn around.

"The matter is hasty, and the young have not found out yet." The servant said with a trembling body.

"Waste, why don't you get out of here and go and investigate."

"Yes, yes!" The servant kowtowed quickly and ran out of the house in panic.

If he had to beat the servant to relieve himself according to Hu Hai's past personality, he had to beat him up to relieve himself. However, at this time, he no longer had his past interest. He waved his hand and dispersed the dancer in the room, waiting anxiously for the news.

"Eighteenth Young Master."

A swordsman in a black scarf rushed into the mansion from outside the house and knelt in front of Hu Hai. It was Long Xiu.

Long Xiu lurked by Zhao Gao's side, and did not go east with Zhao Gao, but stayed in Xianyang. On the surface, he used as an information channel between Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and secretly helped Hu Hai. In fact, Long Xiu was Xiang Shaoyu's eyes and ears to monitor the movements in Guanzhong.

"How is it?" Hu Hai looked at Long Xiu, his eyes lit up, and he asked.

Although Hu Hai did not say what he was asking, at this moment, all he wanted to know was one.

Long Xiu shook his head and said, "Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, General Feng Jie is the leader, and the officials of Xianyang Guiqing have rushed to Zhangtai Palace one after another. The young masters were hesitating, but after hearing this news, they also left the mansion one after another."

"They are all bastards who change their minds. What's so great about Ying Ziyi? These people rushed there one by one. Where are our people?" Hu Hai stood up and cursed.

"At this moment, Ying Ziyi's subordinates have controlled Lin Guang Palace and Shanglin Garden's troops. He has 50,000 troops outside Xianyang. All our aids and responses have been cut off from us and went to Zhangtai Palace."

"Where did he come from the 50,000 people?" Hu Hai asked in surprise.

"It's the baby in Longxiang Camp, mobilized by Ying Ziyi's generals and stationed on the top of the world."

Hu Hai was extremely angry, but now he completely lost his strength and collapsed on the ground.

"How could this happen?" Hu Hai murmured.

"Young Master, what should I do now? Are you going to Zhangtai Palace or..."

Long Xiu asked tentatively.

"Want me to pay homage to him?" Hu Hai stood up and said angrily.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely cold for a moment. Hu Hai thought for a while and said, "Let's go to that guy Fusu."

Long Xiu originally hoped that Hu Hai would continue to stay in Xianyang, so that he would have an excuse to continue to stay in Guanzhong and investigate the news to Xiang Shaoyu. Unexpectedly, Hu Hai actually chose this.

"But Young Master, Ying Ziyi came from the direction of Hangu, and this pass was already in his hands. If we want to go to the Central Plains, we can only leave Wu Pass and turn to Nanyang."

"Call up people immediately and leave the city overnight." Hu Hai stood up and said without hesitation.

....

Zhangtai Palace.

In just a few hours, the palace had changed from a sparse dozen people to the current fullness, shoulder to shoulder. Only before that pool of clear water, no one dared to step forward in the radiant place around Ying Ziyi.

The nobles, nobles, princes, and officials were all among them, standing quietly with their breath and dared not say much.

For a moment, the huge palace seemed to have become airspace, so quiet that it could not even hear the breath of the crowd.

The ministers were watching, the man ahead, waiting for his words.

After a long time, Ying Ziyi turned around and looked at the crowd, but his eyes fell on the right prime minister in front of him. "The father died, Fusu drew Changwenjun, Zhao Gao was against him, and he wanted to be in chaos. Do you have any plans?"

The cold and majestic voice resounded and spread far and far away.

Feng Quji reported to the hand: "What the Crown Prince says is serious?"

"Of course!" Ying Ziyi said slowly, and said nothing.
