The next day.

Just after dawn, someone hurriedly knocked on his door.

"Master Shen, can you

exist?"

Shen Changqing opened the door and saw an anxious-looking soldier standing at the door.

"What's the matter?"

"His Majesty has passed away!"

Inside the bedroom of the main mansion.

Yan Jing and others have all gathered there.

When Shen Changqing arrived, several people managed to squeeze out a smile on their faces.

"Shou Shen is here."

"Um."

Shen Changqing nodded and looked at where the bed was. There was a person lying there fully clothed.

He walked in and took a look.

Then he saw Gu Xuanji lying there with his eyes closed, his face bloodless, and his expression somewhat peaceful.

The soul fell tentatively, but could not feel the slightest bit of life.

Really dead?

Shen Changqing was startled.

Under the perception of his soul, there was no life at all. He couldn't help but wonder if the other party was really dead.

But on second thought, this possibility is unlikely.

When you reach the realm of Ancient Mysteries, it is not difficult to predict your own life and death.

Since the other party said that he can live for about a month, he must live for about a month.

and.

There is no strong person in Tianmen Pass who can attack the Qin Emperor.

Stop talking about others.

Even Shen Changqing himself was not sure of assassinating the opponent silently.

This way.

There is a high probability that Gu Xuanji faked his death.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved.

If he couldn't hide his fake death from himself, how could he hide it from the Demon Saint?

"Everyone is here now. His Majesty passed away suddenly. How do you plan to handle this matter?"

Yan Jing took a deep breath, looked at everyone present, and spoke in a deep voice.

In everyone.

His position is the highest in the court.

The Great General of the Qin Dynasty held an important position in his own right.

Although the positions of Shen Changqing and Dongfang Zhao are not low, there are still some differences between them as they belong to the Demon Suppression Division.

The words fell.

Li Shou looked sad: "Your Majesty is the Holy Emperor of a country. If he dies, he should be dealt with according to the traditional customs. He must not lose his majesty!"

"No, I don't think this matter can be handled in a big way, at least not now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yang shook his head in opposition.

Li Shou looked angry: "General Wei, what do you mean? Could it be that His Majesty has just passed away, so you dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty?"

"Eunuch Li, don't be angry. This is not what I mean."

Wei Yang's expression remained unchanged.

"The Demon Saint who invaded Da Qin a hundred years ago was born in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The reason why the Demon Saint did not dare to invade Da Qin was because His Majesty was in charge.

Now that His Majesty has passed away, if the news spreads, it will definitely fall into the ears of evil spirits.

At that time, the demon saint will definitely attack, and we have no confidence to fight against a demon saint."

The demon saint attacks.

There is no doubt that Tianmen Pass will be broken.

Once Tianmen Pass is broken, Luo'an Mansion and even the entire Qin Dynasty may fall.

In the past.

Wei Yang's fear of the Demon Saint was still based on past rumors.

But when he saw that Dazhou was indirectly destroyed at the hands of the opponent, he understood how terrifying the Demon Saint's methods were.

If it really cannot stop a demon saint, then Great Qin will be in danger.

Yan Jing nodded: "General Wei is right, the Demon Saint is a potential danger. If the news of His Majesty's death spreads, the Demon Saint is likely to invade Tianmen Pass.

Therefore, I suggest that we keep your Majesty’s death a secret for now, secretly send him back to the capital, and wait until the new emperor succeeds to the throne before making any other plans.”

The new emperor succeeds to the throne.

At least it can stabilize people's hearts.

Although there is a prince presiding over the government now, the collapse of the ancient mystery is too great. Once the news spreads, there will definitely be turmoil.

Finished.

Yan Jing looked at Shen Changqing and Dongfang Zhao.

"What do the two guards think?"

"The General's concerns are not unreasonable, and I have no objections."

Shen Changqing shook his head.

Although Gu Xuanji is a fake death, it needs to be done in full for the show.

Otherwise, the evil clan may not be fooled.

the other side.

Dongfang Zhao also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, although Li Shou was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything else.

Yan Jing continued: "Not many people know that His Majesty has passed away now. We have ordered others not to publicize it. If word spreads, it will be a serious crime of beheading. We will never tolerate it."

"good."

Wei Yang nodded.

In fact, the most reasonable approach is to silence everyone else who knows the information.

But if you really do this, it would be a bit cold-blooded.

Just being ordered to shut up is pretty much it.

I did not intend to keep this news secret forever. I just delayed it for a while until the new emperor ascended the throne and then spread it. It would be much better.

After making a decision.

Yan Jing asked Li Shou to stay, and he and Wei Yang went to deal with the next matter.

On the contrary, Shen Changqing and Dongfang Zhao had nothing to do.

Get out of there.

"Why don't you, Commander Dongfang, come and sit with me?"

"That's fine."

Inside the residence.

The two sat down facing each other.

Shen Changqing got straight to the point: "His Majesty faked his death this time, what are the guards' plans next? If it is really kept secret, I'm afraid the news may not be able to spread, right?"

There must be a certain degree of confidentiality when it comes to keeping things secret.

The news should spread, but it still needs to spread.

"Does Chief Shen really think that after the astrolabe is established, there will be no eyes and ears of the Eternal Alliance in Great Qin?"

Dongfang Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip.
