Qin State, Xianyang Palace, Imperial Study.

Ying Zheng is still sitting upright, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand is reading carefully, the sun outside the window has gone up to the sky, obviously Ying Zheng has just returned from the early dynasty, he has developed a habit of reading for many years in his spare time, when he was young, he was subject to Zhao Guo's martial arts practice has been strengthened, and then he learned to be wise, so that he has today's majestic and strategic first emperor His Majesty.

A familiar sound of footsteps interrupted the thoughts in his mind, and raised his head slightly, Zhao Gao was already standing under Danxi, waiting for his inquiry with low eyebrows, "Zhao Gao, what's the matter!" ”

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Si is out asking to see him, saying that he has something important to report." The voice was still so sharp, but the tone was as steady as ever.

"Chuan ......" waved his hand slightly, the scroll had been put down, at this time of the day, Li Si should be dealing with government affairs, but today he came here unusually, there must be something important.

"Biography...... Prime Minister Li Si to meet! The high-pitched voice, and then, as usual, Zhao Gao slowly retreated again.

"Minister-Li Si knocks to see the emperor's majesty."

"Well, let's talk about it, you come to the imperial study at this time, what's the matter."

"Your Majesty, just now Beimen Lang will report that Mr. Gai Nie drove a carriage out of the city early this morning."

Gai Nie ...... frowned slightly, and did not say anything, but tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking about something, "What is he doing out of the city?" ”

"According to the report, Gai Nie said that he was ordered by His Majesty to do a confidential matter, and he also holds the leader of His Majesty."

"Huh? My warrant-. ”

Ying Zheng's words were only general, and a bronze machine bird landed by the window, and with a look, Zhao Gao had already taken out a small bamboo slip from the belly of the machine bird and sent it to Ying Zheng's hands.

"Newspaper—"

Before the bamboo slip was unfolded, another guard hurriedly ran outside the door of the imperial study, shouting that there was something to report.

Putting down the bamboo slip in his hand, he looked at the guard, "Qi Song Majesty, just now the deputy of the North City Gate reported that the North City Gate Lang will be killed by a man in black, and the whereabouts of the murderer are unknown." ”

In an instant, Zhao Gao, Li Si, Ying Zheng, and the hearts of the three of them were shocked, and it seemed that something big was going to happen again.

"Alright, you can step aside." Reading the bamboo slips, his mouth was asking the guard to step back first.

"Wechen retires!" With a proper military salute, the guards slowly retreated.

――Smack――

The bamboo slip was slapped on the table, obviously Yingzheng was furious at this moment, and he did not hide his anger at the moment, and Zhao Gao and Li Si are both smart people, they know that there is a chance that the spearhead of anger this time is directly aimed at Gai Nie.

Juggernaut ...... Is it really strong? This sentence came extremely abruptly, but the two people present shivered excitedly, since Jing Ke assassinated Qin, it was the first time that these two Ying Zheng's closest courtiers had seen Ying Zheng speak in such a gloomy tone.

He ...... Known as the first sword in the world. Without asking, without hesitation, Li Si quickly returned to the question of His Majesty the Emperor, which was the tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister.

"When he belongs to the empire, he is the first sword, if he is no longer loyal to me, then there is no place for him in this world!" The tone turned cold and calm, but the more this happened, the more fearful Li Si and Zhao Gao became, and no one knew what kind of anger was brewing under the seemingly calm appearance.

"Yes, Weichen understands!" Not daring to hesitate in the slightest, Li Si replied quickly.

"Is there no one who can beat him?" However, after asking this time, Li Si, who had always been tacit, did not answer, his eyes narrowed, and a bone-chilling cold flashed, and then he raised it and shot directly at Li Si, "Li Si-" Obviously, this answer Emperor Xià didn't want to wait too long.

"Your Majesty, there is a person, it's just ......" Li Si stopped when he said this, he seemed to be a little hesitant, he seemed to have some concerns, and he was also afraid in his eyes when he thought of that figure.

"Just what?!" With a gleam in his eyes, Ying Zheng waited for Li Si's answer.

"If it is possible, this person, it is better to never reappear in this world." In a word, with concern, he glanced at the emperor on the throne carefully.

At a glance, it was the First Emperor who looked at Zhao Gao in the shadows, and Zhao Gao didn't say much, but he just bowed slightly, as if he was affirming something.

"You're talking about ......"

"It's him, when he was captured, he paid a big price."

"Hmph, maybe it's worth it now."

The monarchs and ministers glanced at each other, and they all thought of the same person - Shengqi!

"Okay, Li Si, you can do it, Luo Wang will cooperate with you."

"Yes, Weichen retired." Slowly saluting, Li Si slowly withdrew from the imperial study.

There was silence here, "Zhao Gao, are you really sure?" I don't want any accidents, or you know the consequences. ”

The cold gaze stared at the person beside him, this time he was really angry, so he didn't allow the slightest mistake or omission, Gai Nie was going to die, and he wanted to get that child!

"Please rest assured, if Weichen can use him once, he can use him a second time, although he is a fierce tiger, he will never be able to escape the net of His Majesty!"

"Okay!"

A hint of approval flashed in his eyes, obviously he was very satisfied with Zhao Gao's answer, and the shadow flashed, and Zhao Gao still returned to his own position.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The dark corridor, but it was as clean as new, and suddenly came here Li Si's eyes seemed to be a little unsuitable for the light in it, and it took a while for the originally squinted eyes to fully open, this is the lowest level of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, and it is also the place where the first-level prisoners of the Empire are imprisoned.

Everyone here is a vicious person, their hands are covered with blood, hundreds of lives are only a small amount for them, killing one is even more common for them, according to the laws of the empire, these people should have been executed a long time ago, but Ying Zheng opened up to them, all of them were imprisoned in this dark dungeon, "They are a group of valuable people to me, so they are still alive!" ”

This is what Ying Zheng said to Li Si with a smile one day, but it is such a sentence that keeps Li Si awake all night, can it be understood as 'When one day they are useless to the empire, they can die!'" In fact, if you think about it, you can include everyone in the world, including him, the prime minister of the empire, when you are useless to the empire, you can die! ’

――Click――,――Click――,――Click――

The dim lights flickered on the walls on all sides, and it seemed that they would go out at any time, and the soldiers of the Qin State in heavy armor stood on both sides of the corridor like stone sculptures.

This is the deepest part of the dungeon, and the cold here makes this usually pampered imperial prime minister very uncomfortable.

Finally, a quarter of an hour passed, the three jack gates were slowly opened, and a huge figure nine feet tall appeared in front of Li Si's eyes, many years later, this person still seemed to have not changed, his body was wrapped with layers of chains, and the whole was dead on the iron frame, with his head down, unable to see his eyes.

――Qiang――

Slowly, this person raised his head, a pair of eyes stared straight ahead, and then for such an instant, Li Si felt that two sharp swords had scraped his cheeks, and it seemed that he was being targeted by a hungry tiger for a long time.

No! He has changed, he has become more bloodthirsty, more crazy, he is no longer a person, but a humanoid killing machine, his existence is only for killing, at any cost, at any means to kill his prey!

This is the black sword - Shengqi!
