Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 689 How to deal with it
  It was already early in the morning, the night was beginning to fade, and the distant edge of the sky was beginning to glow.

Donghuang Taiyi came to Zhangtai Palace quietly under the half-dark sky.

Coincidentally, Ying Zheng was awake at this time, but he didn't know whether he had stayed up all night or got up too early.

No matter what the situation was, it was less troublesome for Donghuang Taiyi, as he no longer had to notify the chamberlain to forcefully wake up Ying Zheng.

Donghuang Taiyi did not hide his aura too much, so after he approached Ying Zheng's palace, Gai Nie, who had always been hiding in the dark to protect Ying Zheng, suddenly appeared.

Ying Zheng glanced at Gai Nie who suddenly ran out, and immediately found Donghuang Taiyi who appeared in his palace silently, and then he understood why Gai Nie appeared.

There was no panic, nor was he angry because he felt that his life seemed to be threatened. Ying Zheng just frowned, a little displeased with the other party's sudden visit.

Donghuang Taiyi's head moved slightly under his mask, "I have met His Majesty King Qin."

Ying Zheng sat on the couch and asked in a nonchalant manner, "The leader of Donghuang's sudden visit...is there something wrong with Yan Dan?"

Donghuang Taiyi nodded slightly and said frankly, "The plan has gone awry. I'm afraid Concubine Dongjun Yan has deviated from the original plan and no longer obeys my orders."

Ying Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he replied in a tone that was not very kind, "I don't care about these people, I just want the results."

I hide my head and show my tail all day long, covering up in various ways, and the result is that my work is so unreliable!
  For such an important plan, the main executor actually stopped working on it! ?
  The nets are unreliable, the Yin Yang family has troubles, and Ying Zheng can't help but feel that he has a too good temper, so he should punish them all.

Faced with Ying Zheng's tough attitude, Donghuang Taiyi was silent for a moment and then said, "Without Dongjun, the key points of the plan would be unsustainable."

"In that case, Lord Donghuang will ask her to continue executing the plan." Ying Zheng replied impatiently without blinking an eye, "If the person has run away, I can ask Luo Sheng to help you find the person."

"Or does the Emperor of the Eastern Emperor have other needs?"

Donghuang Taiyi nodded again. Of course he had other needs. If he was just considering how to deal with Concubine Yan, there was no need to go to all the trouble to find Ying Zheng.

What he needs Ying Zheng to deal with is the culprit - Gu Xun.

"The root cause of Dongjun's betrayal lies in the national master Gu Xun." Donghuang Taiyi immediately named the culprit.

Having said this, it was enough for Ying Zheng to know what he meant - he needed to find a way to deal with Gu Xun.

After Ying Zheng heard Gu Xun's name, he couldn't help but frowned, "National Master..."

"But he has now left for Bashu and is not in Xianyang."

"And as far as tonight's action is concerned, I remember that he didn't have any objections, and he seemed to have done some things to add fuel to the flames."

In principle, Ying Zheng believed that Donghuang Taiyi would not come here to amuse himself. Gu Xun must have indeed done something. However, Gu Xun itself is also a difficult problem to deal with. He cannot go to him without starting or ending. trouble.

"..." Donghuang Taiyi was speechless for a moment.

If he were really asked to say what Gu Xun had done to interfere with him, he wouldn't be able to tell.

There is indeed nothing on the surface, at most there is some minor friction. As for secretly...who has the ability to keep an eye on him?
  Moreover, the entanglement between him and Dong Jun is not that complicated, it is just...a relationship between a man and a woman.

It sounds ordinary, but it is this ordinary that makes Donghuang Taiyi speechless when his plan that has been painstakingly planned for many years is unexpectedly interfered with. "Because of the Imperial Master, Dongjun had emotions that she shouldn't have, and this unexpected emotion drove her to abandon her mission." After considering his words, Donghuang Taiyi replied, "The Imperial Master is indeed We haven’t gone against the plan yet, but... His Majesty should also know that with his character, this will probably only happen sooner or later."

Ying Zheng gently closed his eyes, pondered for a moment and then asked, "After today, is there any possibility of making up for the plan?"

"As long as Dongjun returns to his throne, everything can get back on track." Donghuang Taiyi gave an affirmative answer.

Even if tonight's plan fails, and even if Yan Dan is alerted, there is still a way to make amends as long as Concubine Yan no longer resists.

"In this case, let's wait until the Imperial Master comes back from Shu to discuss the matter." Ying Zheng received a positive answer and chose to postpone the discussion, but it was not just postponement.

"Before he comes back, I hope that Master Donghuang can fix the plan as soon as possible and show the sincerity that your Yin Yang family should have."

Donghuang Taiyi immediately understood the hidden meaning of Ying Zheng's words.

Gu Xunren is not in Xianyang now, and there is nothing we can do to deal with it. We simply leave him alone and let the Yin and Yang family do what they want to make up for this mistake - it is best to get everything settled before Gu Xun comes back. .

In other words, it is to seize the time to cook the raw rice into cooked rice, leaving Gu Xun helpless.

In fact, Ying Zheng certainly knows that Gu Xun has not been far away from Xianyang now. If he is brought back under an emergency order, he will probably be able to see people tomorrow, but calling him back now may not be easy to handle.

Why not put him outside first, let him do his business, and the Yin and Yang family do the Yin and Yang family's work, without disturbing each other.

Both of them knew that Gu Xun was not a person who would easily succumb to such methods, but that would have to be handled by Ying Zheng after he came back.

Neither of them thought that Gu Xun would cause much trouble in the end. After all, he was still an individual. The whole family was in Xianyang, so what kind of trouble could it cause?

Everything under the royal authority must be compromised. This is the thinking of this era.

But it doesn't matter, anyway... no matter how good their plan is, they have to pass the first step - to capture Concubine Yan.

If you can't do this step, let the rest rest.

Before Donghuang Taiyi left, Ying Zheng asked one more question, "Donghuang Cult Leader, is it possible that it is impossible to do without Dongjun?"

After Donghuang Taiyi hesitated for a moment, he said frankly, "There are still alternatives, but the probability of success is difficult to grasp."

Donghuang Taiyi does have a backup candidate on hand, but unlike Concubine Yan, the result guided by Concubine Yan is inevitable, while the backup candidate is only a possibility.

Although the probability of this possibility is not low, Donghuang Taiyi is not willing to, let alone bet on the probability, such a major event that he has devoted his whole life to.

The same goes for Ying Zheng.

Donghuang Taiyi then disappeared from the palace as mysteriously as he came, leaving only Ying Zheng and Gai Nie Junchen.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly and asked softly, "Mr. Gai, do you think this person's treatment is appropriate?"
