The Happy Journey of the Bright Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 126
It is undeniable that the chief officer of Deng Cheng is a smart man.After Li Chen showed his aura, this person obediently took care of things

For such a person, Li Chen doesn't mind giving him a chance to survive.

The most important thing is that to Chu State, Li Chen is just a passer-by. Even if this person pulls him out in the future, he will have already left Chu State by then.

After rescuing Huaying, the three of them didn't stay in Dengcheng, they simply bought some food for Jibu and his brother to eat on the way, and left Dengcheng directly.

Since Huaying had never practiced martial arts, naturally she couldn't hurry like Li Chen and the two went.

So, after leaving Dengcheng, a few people rushed to the bank of the Han River about one mile away from Dengcheng.

Li Chen took out a gold coin, and the boatman happily agreed to send the three of them to the inn.

When the three of Li Chen returned to the inn, it was already night.

Li Chen opened two rooms for Ji Bu siblings, and let them go down to rest first.

After all, in the past two or three days, what the siblings have suffered, they don't have time to take a good rest.

After Li Chen helped him rescue his sister, Ji Bu agreed to follow Li Chen, but he was worried that his sister was alone.

In the end, Li Chen agreed to bring the two of them along.

Not to mention other things, Li Xin will make a move later, letting Huaying take care of Xiao Ayan is more reassuring than Xiao Li Xue and Mei Sanniang.

Li Chen also asked Ji Bu to take the time to pass on his cultivation method to Huaying. Although he may not be able to become a master, he still needs simple self-protection ability.

The next morning, everyone got up early, and Li Chen introduced everyone to Ji Bu and his brother.

After having breakfast together, everyone basically became acquainted with each other, so they boarded the boat again and headed towards Yanying.

Yanying was the capital of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although the capital has been moved for more than 270 years, it has always been the accompanying capital of Zaiying.

It was not until more than 40 years ago that Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of Qin State, led his army to attack Chu State and occupied Zaiying and Yanying, that the title of Accompanying Capital was revoked.

However, as the capital of Chu State in its heyday, Yanying occupies an area that cannot be compared with ordinary cities.

Although it suffered some damage during the Qin Bing's occupation, after more than 40 years of redevelopment, Yanying still looks prosperous.

Coming here, Li Chen planned to stop and explore Yanying for a while.

So everyone didn't go to the inn, and went directly to a dental shop and rented a larger courtyard to live in.

In recent years, facing the pressure of Qin State, many nobles of Chu State moved eastward to Shouchun with the capital of Chu.

Therefore, Li Chen and the others found a suitable yard without much effort, a large house with three entrances.

After everything was arranged properly, Li Chen began to think about how to find clues.

In Yanying, the one that is worth looking for may be the former imperial palace. Li Chen plans to find time to go in and explore.

Time flies like a flash, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

After a month, Li Chen almost searched the old palace of Chu State, but found nothing in the end.

Li Chen was not discouraged either, after all, he was prepared in his heart before coming here.

Besides, a copper box has already fallen into his hands, and he came to Chu State only to obtain more information on this basis.

Even if there is no harvest, it doesn't matter.

Li Chen's side was peaceful, but in the outside world, a major event that shocked the world happened this month.

After Yingzheng returned to Xianyang from Han, what he encountered along the way made it difficult for him to trust Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei.

Therefore, he secretly visited Mrs. Huayang, obtained the support of the Chu family of the Qin State, took back some power from Lu Buwei, and began to govern personally.

Later, someone reported that Lai Ai was a fake eunuch who had an affair with the queen mother, had two sons, and conspired with the queen mother: "The king is the emperor, and the son is the queen."

When Ying Zheng got the news, he was furious and immediately sent his cronies to investigate and verify.

Since the Queen Mother Zhao Ji left Xianyang and lived in the Li Palace in Yongcheng, the relationship with Lai Ai has hardly been betrayed.

Ying Zheng easily found the result he wanted, and also found out that all of this was related to Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei.

At this time, Ying Zheng didn't dare to be careless anymore. If Lu Buwei really rebelled, Qin would fall into turmoil.

Ying Zheng thought about it again and again, planning to let Lao Ai jump out by herself.

Therefore, on the one hand, in the name of investigation, he kept putting pressure on Lai Ai, on the other hand, he was preparing to become a pro-government, and at the same time, he was observing Lu Buwei's reaction.

Lu Buwei was born as a businessman, and he has a clear calculation of benefits, knowing that there is no way out for rebellion.

Therefore, since the incident of Lai Ai broke out, Lu Buwei completely gave up on Lai Ai.

As the investigation continued to unfold, Lai Ai finally couldn't hold on anymore, and obtained a seal from Zhao Ji by playing emotional cards, and planned to launch a rebellion when Yingzheng went to the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng to hold the crowning ceremony.

However, Yingzheng had been prepared for a long time, not to mention that there was Guigu Gai Nie by his side, and he had reached an agreement with the Chu family where the Empress Dowager Huayang belonged to and gained their support.

After Lao Ai launched a rebellion, he immediately ordered the well-prepared Lord Changping and Lord Changwen to send troops to attack Lao Ai.

Lai Ai's rebellion was soon quelled, three thousand followers were executed, and Lai Ai was also punished with chariots.

The two sons born to the Queen Mother were killed, and the Queen Mother Zhao was imprisoned in Yongdi.

Since this incident involved Lu Buwei, the prime minister, Ying Zheng wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

But because he had made great contributions to serving the former king, and there were many guests and debaters interceding for him, Ying Zheng let Lu Buwei go, but all the power in Lu Buwei's hands was captured by Ying Zheng.

Since then, Qin Wang Yingzheng has completely stepped onto the stage of history.

In Xianyang, in the royal palace, Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand, raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "Is there a net in this incident?"

Gai Nie at the side replied: "Luo Wang suffered heavy losses in Xinzheng, and his strength was not as good as before. During the whole process, no Luo Wang killer came forward. But..."

"But what?" Ying Zheng turned and looked over.

"This incident broke out quickly and strangely, as if someone was behind it." Gai Nie said lightly.

"You mean, this matter was drawn out by a trap?" Ying Zheng's eyes sank.

Ge Nie nodded: "Very likely."

"Isn't Luo Wang cooperating with Lu Xiang? Lu Xiang was also affected by this incident. Why did they do this?" Ying Zheng asked with some doubts.

Gai Nie shook his head and did not continue speaking.

Ying Zheng clenched his fist and slammed it on the table in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that I still don't have enough power to scare those people!"

Then, he raised his head and looked at the map of the Seven Kingdoms hanging on the wall, with a palpitating light reflected in his eyes...
