Chapter 24 Assassination
Zhao Gao completely gave up.

The three methods Cui Yuan mentioned had already shattered all his resentment.

Being in the hands of such a future god-man, he had no complaints or regrets, and was even honored.

After Ying Zheng packed up the bamboo slips and dismissed his slaves, he chose to give the old minister who had accompanied him all the way to the present a final dignity.

Instead of entering the prison or being shackles, he was given a glass of poisonous wine.

"Your Majesty, Little Friend Cui, Ninth Princess, I, Zhao Gao, know that I have sinned deeply, so I took the first step."

"Bless my country, the Qin Dynasty, may the country prosper and be passed down for thousands of years!"

Zhao Gao straightened his clothes, paid the last salute to Ying Zheng, sat down cross-legged, and drank the poisonous wine in one gulp.

After a while, he closed his eyes and lost his breath in the sunset.

This treacherous minister, who was famous in history, quietly disappeared into the imperial study before he could cause any trouble.

"Whoo~"

Ying Zheng took a long breath, with complicated eyes: "Cui Yuan, Yin Man! Apart from us, only heaven and earth can know what happened today."

"You must not leak it. I will announce to the public that Zhao Gao died of an old illness."

"understand!"

"Father, please rest assured!"

Cui Yuan and Ying Yinman agreed immediately.

Cui Yuan thought for a while and then said: 'Well, Your Majesty, the three methods I just mentioned are relevant to you...'

"Cui Yuan."

Before Cui Yuan could finish speaking, Ying Zheng interrupted: "I will let Li Si and Fusu handle these matters by appointing Confucian disciples as officials and revising the Qin Dynasty laws on military service."

"As for the establishment of academies in the world, there are not so many books and scrolls in the palace now."

"I will give you a complete set of Qin laws first, and you can use them to establish an academy in Liucunbao."

"No need to talk about anything else today. I'm tired, so let's stop here."

As he spoke, he pointed to his chest.

Obviously, Ying Zheng didn't want to be stimulated anymore.

If he kept talking like this, he was really afraid that he would faint on the spot.

Because he always remembers Cui Yuan's words, he will die on the sand dune platform like King Zhao Wuling in two years!

He is now in his prime and cannot die naturally, so there must be some secret in it!
But, he really didn't want to hear it.

"Hmm! Your Majesty!"

Cui Yuan nodded seriously and said seriously: "Actually, I mean the same thing as you. Some words and some things are better not to be heard all at once."

"As for the academy, I may still need your help then. It would be best to send a few more Mohist disciples over."

It was difficult to promote the academy plan relying on bamboo slips. He had to use a large number of manpower to study papermaking and movable type printing.

"Of course there is no problem with this. I will ask the examination office to set up a station at Liucunbao tomorrow. You go back first."

"it is good!"

……

When I said goodbye to Ying Zheng and left Zhangtai Palace, it was already very late.

Since it was the curfew time, there was no one on the street. Except for Cui Yuan and Ying Yinman, there were only Daqin soldiers on patrol in a hurry.

Since the First Emperor had already given the order, the Qin soldiers did not interrogate the two of them.

"Cui...Cui Yuan, what should I call you?"

"Ninth Princess, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Yuan."

"Brother Yuan?"

In the cool evening breeze, Ying Yinman, who was following the young man, nodded slightly.

She stopped slightly and looked back at the imperial study room that had disappeared behind her, with a complicated look on her face.Everything seemed to be over, but waves of chills were still drifting into the girl's heart.

"Brother Yuan, so...so my future..."

"...Actually there is no Mr. Right, only... the only fate is to be crushed to death?"

As he said this, tears filled Ying Yinman's eyes.

When she heard the bad news in the Imperial Study Room, she suppressed her sadness and did not dare to express her sadness in front of her father.

Now that she had left, she finally couldn't suppress her emotions.

She really didn't expect that her ending would be so tragic.

Cui Yuan looked helpless.

Unexpectedly, after a tiring day, I still have to comfort the children.

"What never happened, whether it was in the original future or now, you have found your Mr. Right." Cui Yuan said seriously.

"Really!?"

"Of course it's true. You, Brother Yuan, and I are from after 2000. How could I lie to you about a little girl?"

"Ok!"

Ying Yinman smiled, showing a pure smile, like a peony blooming.

Cui Yuan also smiled, and was about to continue saying something, but suddenly there was a chill behind him, as if he was being targeted by some monstrous beast!
There is an assassin in the dark!
The target is me!

And he has already taken action!
Almost instantly, after having his five senses strengthened twice by the National Games, he understood what was happening!
He reacted immediately, protecting the weak and defeating the body's survival instinct. He stretched out his hand to push the girl away and faced the sword himself!
Whoa!

"Ah! Cui Yuan!"

Ying Yinman was so frightened that she fell onto the corner, her back feeling extremely painful.

Of course, compared to the physical pain, her heart was as painful as a knife and was torn apart instantly!

Because at this moment, in front of her!

Two sharp blades with sharp edges, one went straight into the young man's back, and the other went completely into the young man's neck, and countless blood spurted out!

The cold wind was biting and the screams continued, as if it wanted to freeze the blood from the boy's wound, but there was nothing he could do!
"Haha! This is the immortal from 2000 years later, nothing more than that!"

"I thought you could live forever, but you ended up dying for a woman. It's extremely cowardly!"

Two blood-stained figures emerged from the darkness.

They laughed triumphantly, with ferocious smiles on their faces!

If Zhao Gao was still alive, he would be shocked to see the faces of these two people.

Because they are Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le, and Zhao Gao's younger brother Zhao Cheng!

They were not caught by Dunwei. Although they suffered many injuries, they still escaped with their extraordinary skills!

Although he couldn't leave due to the closure of the city, he still assassinated Cui Yuan here!
"Yan Le, this little girl is pretty good! No wonder Cui Yuan would die for her."

"Really? Oh! Haha! This is actually the Ninth Princess!"

"What! Ninth Princess? It seems that my life, Zhao Cheng, is worth it!"

The two people's words seemed like the whispers of demons, and they watched the girl not hiding her desires.

Forced to a dead end, they have undoubtedly exposed the evil of human nature!
Ying Yinman's pretty face was bloodless.

He could only take one last look at Cui Yuan before closing his eyes and biting his tongue to commit suicide!

Brother Yuan, I'm sorry...

"Don't be so anxious...

Just when Ying Yinman thought everything was over, their bloody hands touched the girl's shoulders.

The boy who had been motionless suddenly opened his eyes!

I'm not dead yet. "
