Wang Zhaojun sat quietly in the Ice and Snow Palace, looking at everything that happened outside Xuan's window, his eyes as if they were frozen in ice.

From beginning to end, Wang Zhaojun did not intervene in the earth-shattering battle outside the palace, just sat in the palace and watched everything, but her mood was all affected by the people in the battle.

As an outsider, Wang Zhaojun's emotional fluctuations in her heart have always reflected the battle situation, and when there are earth-shaking changes in the battle, her heart is also turned upside down, because she and Jing Kegao, who bravely entered Xianyang Palace, have the same hot wish - to put Yingzheng to death.

And fate always carries ill-intentioned humor...... The two who forced Yingzheng to the last step with the wishes of everyone one second, but the next moment they were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and they were separated from each other.

When Gao Yuanli let out the last mournful cry, when Jing Ke showed the last poignant smile, the moments of despair and sadness condensed into cold tears and fell into Wang Zhaojun's ice-blue eyes.

People who have not experienced it can't feel it, Jinggao's love is already a love that runs through life. Seeing the final goodbye of the two, Wang Zhaojun's inner emotions surged in an instant, and then, the empathetic sadness turned into a cold air that was colder than frost, freezing all her thoughts and feelings.

When Jing Ke finally fell alone under the moonlit night, Wang Zhaojun seemed to have fallen into the abyss of ice.

Those who have not truly loved cannot understand the grief of this farewell. And Wang Zhaojun can understand it...... Doesn't her love with Han Shin also experience pain and sorrow......

Every day he sat in this ice and snow palace made Wang Zhaojun look forward to the autumn water. I don't think about eating, I don't think about sleeping, I just sit quietly. She thought to Han Xin, the former morning and twilight were like misty clouds and smoke fluttering in her heart, and she couldn't avoid it and couldn't catch it...... I can only miss, day after day.

They were born at the wrong time! It is this chaotic era that upends everyone's fate and tears everyone's happiness apart - and this era is all created by Yingzheng! This demon-like monarch pushed the entire Qin Chu into the whirlpool of fate.

If it weren't for Ying Zheng, Jing Ke and Gao would have fallen in love with each other in a peaceful country, and if it weren't for Ying Zheng, she and Han Xin would have been married on the Beiyi Ice Plain three years ago. However, all this is shattered, and it is all because of Yingzheng!

Hate! Bitter hatred! In the twenty-five years of Wang Zhaojun's life, for the first time in his life, he had a real hatred, and the hatred went deep into the bone marrow and penetrated to the soul! She hated Yingzheng, but she didn't dare to attack him, or even resist him...... No matter how much she wanted Yingzheng to die, when Jing Ke and Gao gradually separated from Yingzheng, she never helped...... She must leave a way out for herself and the thousands of lives of the Beiyi Ice Clan!

The reason why Wang Zhaojun was placed under house arrest by Ying Zheng in Xianyang Palace as his concubine was because Ying Zheng grabbed everything about her - Ying Zheng knew that Wang Zhaojun, as the frost princess of the Beiyi Ice Clan, regarded the peaceful life of the Beiyi Ice Clan as the highest wish, and she could sacrifice everything for the harmonious life of the clan, and also knew that the people of the Beiyi Ice Clan regarded Wang Zhaojun as the guardian goddess of their Ice Clan, and they could make great sacrifices for many things for the safety of the Frost Princess......

Therefore, Ying Zheng used trickery to secretly forcibly intercept Wang Zhaojun back to Xianyang Palace, and coerced Wang Zhaojun to marry his princess by trampling the Beiyi Ice Clan with thousands of troops and horses, and at the same time used Wang Zhaojun's safety in Xianyang Palace as a bargaining chip to force the arrogant Beiyi Ice Clan to surrender to the Qin Chu regime.

In the end, Ying Zheng used his power to win the surrender of the Frost Princess and the Beiyi Ice Clan without spending a single soldier.

Wang Zhaojun hated her, but she was also afraid of this man, so even when Ying Zheng was facing the dilemma of death, she couldn't believe that he would really die and help Jing Gao.

Wang Zhaojun knows that Yingzheng is far deeper than many people think, and his gaze has never been incomprehensible.

Outside the Ice and Snow Palace, the ghost warrior stared at Jing Ke's body lying in a pool of blood for a moment, and then slowly put the sword in his hand into the sheath, without squinting, and turned to leave.

The ghost warrior didn't speak, but quietly walked past Ying Zheng's side, a red carcass ghost armor turned into smoke and sand, and disappeared in the breeze of Jingyi, and his figure had long since disappeared into the thick darkness of Xianyang Palace.

And Ying Zheng still stood quietly in place, and Long Zhiming's pupils looked up slightly at the starry night dome at this moment. Ying Zheng noticed, yes, even if he was under the siege of Gao Yuanli and Jing Ke before, he also noticed the change in the night sky.

The dark night dome suddenly became bright, and the stars suddenly shone together—everything was instantaneous.

"The wind rises, and the stars shine." ——Ying Zheng stared at the bright stars in the night dome, his eyes were deep and mysterious, as if in the ethereal void, he wanted to see through the star's gaze.

This is a sign...... Ying Zheng also conjectures that the stars suddenly wake up, and the night dome flickering is a kind of fate in the dark. And if that were the case, there would probably be only one thing it would sign...... The big picture is about to change!

Ying Zheng retracted his gaze, but his heart seemed to be surging.

Then, Ying Zheng turned around and glanced at Wang Zhaojun, who was always sitting in the Ice and Snow Palace, and the king's breath in her eyes suddenly pressed on Wang Zhaojun's heart, making her a little breathless for a moment. But just a glance, Ying Zheng turned around and walked away, walking alone along the road where he came.

——Time went back a little hour, and in Huyao City, thousands of miles away from Xianyang Palace, Liu Bang was still sitting in his quiet underground study and pondering.

Perhaps it was because he was too involved in thinking about it, so that Liu Bang, who has always been rigorous, also ignored the problem of time, and stayed in the study until the evening without realizing it.

For some reason, Liu Bang has a lot of thoughts today, and his mind is dancing like a storm. And Liu Bang also has inexplicable anxiety in his mood, and there is always an illusion in the dark...... It was as if something was about to happen.

Perhaps the "wind" was too strong, and it poured into the quiet underground study and infected Liu Bang. The bat, which was "rescued" by Liu Bang, also strangely kept flapping on Liu Bang's side, which made Liu Bang's mood even more anxious.

However, at this moment, two "tick" sounds suddenly sounded on the left wall of the study, and when he heard this sound, Liu Bang's eyes flashed suddenly.

The wall of the study room was specially designed by Liu Bang, and there was a sound transmission channel between the left wall and the military camp on the ground, which could communicate sound.

So Liu Bang stood up, raised his hand and tapped the wall twice, touching the mechanism of the sound transmission channel, and then heard a message from the soldiers on the ground-

"Report to the King of Han, an envoy from the King of Chu has just come, saying that the King of Chu has something very important and invites you to rush to Longshun City to discuss it immediately...... They repeatedly emphasize – 'immediately'. ”

The storm is up...... For some reason, this idea suddenly popped up in Liu Bang's heart, which was very abrupt, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Bang didn't feel that there was anything wrong......

This was the first time in three years that Xiang Yu had taken the initiative to find Liu Bang, and it was only a few days after they had just met. This shows that there must be something very important, and Xiang Yu's invitation to him to Longshun City shows even more that the importance of this matter is above the guarding of the border city!

Liu Bang's eyes suddenly lit up - that's right! It's just that the storm is rising!

——After the First World War, Xianyang Palace returned to its usual dead silence and darkness, especially those palaces far away from the Ice and Snow Palace, which were not affected by the night attack battle at all, and always maintained a strong darkness and heavy silence.

The main palace of Xianyang Palace, which is located in the heart of Xianyang Palace, is like this, it is really like a giant beast falling into a deep sleep at night.

Outside the main palace is an incomparably wide court land, the leftmost end of the court land, the ground is drawn and enclosed by a three-zhang long circular inlay, around the circle is a stone dragon that swims on the ground, raises its head high, and the dragon head is just hanging above the center of the ground circle.

The stone dragon stretched its palate, and a slender stream of water dripped from the dragon's palate and landed in the ground.

The strange flow of water accumulates into a clear pool on the ground, and with the dripping of the water, the surface of the pool is always rippling with layers of slight waves. But the strange thing is that the inlay is obviously very shallow, and the waterhole is clearly rippling, but there is no water overflowing the circular inlay, only the breath of life of the pure spirit floats out...... This inlay surrounded by a stone dragon resembles a strange and clear pool, a pool that embodies the breath of life.

This "spring pool" is the origin spiritual land of Qin Chu located in the Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng sat quietly on the thousand-step staircase outside the main palace of Xianyang Palace, surrounded and swallowed by the darkness of the night. However, a pair of unusually bright pupils always stared at the Origin Spirit Land, which was also surrounded by darkness, with a gaze that shocked all things.

Ying Zheng always stared, staring silently. He always felt that something was about to happen...... No, something has already happened! And he just sat outside the main palace of Xianyang Palace, waiting for the news to come.

In those days when he was in Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng had been paying close attention to the information sent back from all over the palace, especially the letters and documents sent back to Bai Qi, Afang Palace, and the border city.

Ten days ago, he received a letter from Xiang Yu from Long Shun City, which said that he hoped that Han Xin would be transferred back to the mainland and reunite with his fiancée, Princess Frost...... So Ying Zheng knew that Han Xin had returned to the country.

Two days ago, he received a secret letter from Bai Qi, which stated that Han Xin appeared in Merlin City and participated in the defense of Mozi's side, and then quickly returned to the border city...... Therefore, Ying Zheng knew that Han Xin was already on the way back to the border city with the shocking information of the truth of the inner country, and Bai Qi was pursuing with all his might.

Ying Zheng knows that the national chess game, which has been in control for three years, has taken a turn for the worse - Xiang Yu and Liu Bang have always been the biggest obstacle to him in this game of chess, and once they know the truth, the whole situation will be difficult to deal with.

But Ying Zheng is calm—very calm, to be exact.

At the turning point of the situation, as the core of the chess game, he was not anxious and unusually calm.

Maybe he had expected that there would be such a day, how long was three years, how long could he stabilize the situation, sooner or later, there would be such a day, and there would be a turn for the worse of a certain collapse......

It's been three years, in order to deceive Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, in order to stabilize the situation in the entire country, and in order to achieve his ultimate goal...... Everything he could, he did.

And the rest can only depend on fate.

Suddenly, a cyan light bloomed in the Origin Spiritual Land, breaking the silence and the night, illuminating the stone dragon and Ying Zheng's vision.

A moment later, the light faded, and a white figure in war armor emerged from the light and appeared in the empty pool.

Ying Zheng was already silent, silently watching Bai Qi step out of the spring pool and walk towards him across the thick night.

Bai Qi's steps are very light, but they seem to be very heavy, and they echo one step at a time, like the bell ringing at dawn.

Just by hearing Bai Qi's heavy footsteps, Yingzheng already knew in his heart - although he maintained the composure of the king, but-

The situation has changed!
