"Yes, sir! I will immediately go to the east of the city to search!"
The guards in front of the palace, upon hearing that the First Emperor had given such an order, were already eager to begin the search.
The Qin Dynasty has now unified the world.
We entered an era of peace and tranquility.
It's really too difficult for military officers to get promoted based on their military achievements, so if they can't seize this opportunity to make a name for themselves, they really don't want to get promoted and make a fortune!
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"How dare such a tiny demonic dragon be so presumptuous! I wonder who gave this demonic dragon the audacity!"
"Your Majesty, do not panic. I will go to the military camp outside the city and gather a large army!"
Wang Ben quickly stepped forward to volunteer.
Mobilize the army!
Upon hearing this word, everyone turned deathly pale.
If His Majesty really agrees to mobilize a large army to Xianyang, it means that this matter is very serious. If it is not handled properly, there will be hundreds or even thousands of people held accountable.
Upon hearing this, Taishi Teng thought to himself, "This idiot Wang Ben, why did he bring up the army at this critical juncture? The army is a continuation of politics. Using the army will inevitably lead to the continued escalation of this matter. If Li Lin is one step ahead and turns the tables on him, wouldn't he make me and Lord Zongzheng pay with our lives?"
Ying Lin was furious.
He glared angrily at Wang Ben from behind, wishing he had a knife in his hand to skin Wang Ben alive!
"allow!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Ben was overjoyed, believing that the day to make great contributions had arrived. Although he had also participated in the war to unify the world with his father Wang Jian, he wanted his son Wang Li to also enter the military headquarters.
He naturally wanted to make a good impression on the First Emperor.
Of course, he was unaware of Taishi Teng's plan. If he had known, he certainly wouldn't have come out at this critical juncture to sabotage his teammates.
"Hmph! I'd like to see just how powerful this demonic dragon is!"
The First Emperor was furious; he was acting completely irrationally.
This puzzled Li Lin.
[Wait a minute, even if His Majesty is furious, he wouldn't be this agitated, would he? Could it be that he saw through the trap and is deliberately cooperating with them?]
The First Emperor suddenly gave him a meaningful look.
This made him even more confused.
Why did His Majesty glance at me at this moment? Could it be that he has already figured out the truth? Does he know that these people want to frame me?
"Li Lin, I remember you lived in the eastern part of Xianyang, didn't you? Last night, did you hear or see any golden dragon?"
"ah?"
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "His Majesty seems to be asking me a question on the surface, but actually wants me to make up some nonsense first to absolve myself of responsibility?"
After thinking for a while, he spoke up: "Your Majesty, last night I did indeed see a huge golden light floating in the sky, just like these officials. The golden light was like a dragon, and it could grow big or small, long or short!"
"Oh? You saw it too?"
A hint of surprise flashed across the First Emperor's angry face. On the surface, he was taken aback, but inwardly he was thinking something else entirely: "You little rascal, you reacted quickly enough. I only glanced at you, and you understood what I was thinking."
good!
However, this is all the help I can give you. How these people deal with you from now on is up to you. After all, you don't even have the ability to deal with such childish tricks.
How could he possibly be the Grand Tutor of my Great Qin Empire?
My Qin princess will not be fooled away by a coward.
"Yes, Your Majesty, not only did I see it, but I also chatted with that demonic dragon for quite a while!"
"Oh? Really?"
"Your Majesty, how could I dare deceive you? Three hundred days ago, I encountered a goddess on the Luo River named Zhen Mi, the goddess of the Luo River and an incarnation of the Nine Heavens Goddess. I was traveling on the Luo River in a boat when suddenly a raging storm swept me into the water. I vaguely saw a roaring dragon approaching, its long body entangling me underwater. My consciousness..."
Li Lin's eyes darted around, and he had already made up his mind.
Since you people are using these superstitious and ghostly things to slander me.
Then don't blame me for giving them a taste of their own medicine.
At present.
He altered the story of the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River, naturally replacing Cao Zhi as the protagonist, while the villain was established as the son of the old Dragon King of the Luo River, a jet-black dragon.
He was on a boat when a storm caused him to fall into the Luo River, where he was captured by a dragon that was about to devour him alive. Then, the goddess of the Luo River, Zhen Mi, appeared, and he used a line from Cao Zhi to describe her.
"Li Zhongcheng was actually saved by such a beautiful goddess?"
"This... the description Li Zhongcheng just gave is simply unheard of! It seems... it seems I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my entire life!"
"What a beautiful and kind-hearted goddess, Zhen Mi! She even saved a scourge like Li Zhongcheng."
"Yes, if it weren't for Li Zhongcheng, would His Majesty have imprisoned the Prime Minister?"
The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
It seems that most people are interested in the story of Zhen Mi, the goddess of the Luo River, as told by Li Lin.
Even an extraordinary emperor like the First Emperor was tempted.
Seeing this, Li Lin couldn't help but sneer inwardly: [Sure enough, men are the most infatuated carbon-based beings, always drawn to beautiful women. Why is even the First Emperor craning his neck? Could it be that he's also interested in the Goddess of the Luo River?]
