"Don't think too much. Now that you have the opportunity to think too much, you might as well do something else."
"do what?"
The guard glanced in Zuo Zhuo's direction and then jogged after him, but all he caught were his shadows.
"Go to sleep and talk to you tomorrow."
"Okay!"
The two of them returned to the palace one after the other, strolling leisurely from the side.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to admire the rockery and lake in the palace. Although Zuo Zhuo didn't think much of it, the guard looked around and pointed as if he had never seen the world before.
It was night time, so I couldn't see clearly.
Besides, no one said anything, so it wasn't embarrassing.

"Xiao Chenzi, bring the sign."
After so many days, it was probably time to flip a few cards. When Xiao Chenzi heard about this, he quickly went to the side room to bring the cards over, and placed them on the table with a smile, waiting to see who the emperor would flip.
Before the card was turned over, someone else came outside the door.
He was so angry that he threw the sign he picked up to the ground. With a snap, the sign broke into pieces as soon as it hit the ground due to his internal force.
And the person who came in was none other than the admiral of the navy.
"Your Majesty!"
As soon as he came in, he knelt down, his face pale and tears streaming down his face. At this age, he was almost half a century old and was about to cry, make a fuss, or even commit suicide.
Zhao Xin was also rubbing his temples, wondering what the admiral was doing here and why he chose to come in the middle of the night.
"I say... you, Admiral of the Navy, have you become so proud just because you relied on the Imperial Sword bestowed upon you by the late Emperor?"
"I didn't. I'm terrified. I just want to make the Great Qin a better place. I absolutely don't have that intention, not at all!"
Refuse directly.
The rejection was incredibly quick, Zhao Xin was only testing the waters. After all, someone who wanted to destroy the Qin Dynasty wouldn't be willing to give this item just to get Zhao Xin on the right path.
but…
Isn't that a bit embarrassing?
It seemed really embarrassing, but he couldn't say it directly. Once he said it, the old stubborn man's face fell and he looked very grumpy.
"Just be frank. You're crying, making a scene, and even threatening to commit suicide. How can this young guard outside the door see you as a naval commander and make fun of you?"
This is also...
The admiral nodded and then, quite normally, handed a memorial to Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin took it and glanced at it, his eyes widening in disbelief. Could this be true or not?
It has been confirmed.
That person is He Jia.
How come the hidden family now has feelings for Great Qin, and is even thinking of annexing Great Qin? That's fine, but this... Crane State!
It's hidden very deeply.
He didn't notice it at all.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this. This was brought back from the accident site. It appears to be in good condition. After inspection, it is indeed from the He family."
The He family, the He family, the He family again!
Now we must not let him find this Crane State, otherwise he will be finished!
Zhao Xin was furious, but the admiral seemed to have no intention of sending a thunderbolt. He then took out several letters one after another, and without exception, they were all about the invading enemy army.
Adding fuel to the fire is probably what it means.
It’s the middle of the night, let alone being summoned. Even if I were to sleep, I probably wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.
A county governor was lost, a team suffered a crushing defeat, a river was blocked, and this brought about many things, big or small, but all of them were bad news.
That’s right, it’s all bad news!
Zhao Xin was so angry when he saw this thing that he almost lost his mind. What caught his attention most was the soldiers with Zhao Shuangshuang. He really didn't want his sister to get into trouble.
Now these two are the only ones he can trust, and he has also checked their ambitions and loyalty, but found that their loyalty to him has reached the maximum and is permanent.
This means that she would never rebel... She might even rush to the front line out of righteousness and act like the legendary General Mulan!
"This, this Tiance Army..."
"What?"
To be honest, this information is half true and half false. After all, the channels for obtaining it are from all directions, and what is sent back is just the result of a war. Nowadays, there are many counterattacks by Chu, which is not too surprising.
"So I took a look and saw the emperor pointing at the Tiance Army..."
It has to be said that the Tian Ce Army was the first army to be formally established and successfully graduated to great success. The Tian Ce Army easily passed all the challenges.
But... for the emperor's advancement, the admiral "intentionally" made up a lie in order to make Zhao Xin understand the meaning of this effort.
This wasn't just a fabricated lie; at best, it was a joke. At worst, it was the legendary crime of deceiving the emperor. To put it bluntly, the punishment was immediate beheading! No ambiguity!
But... it seems that the two people in this room didn't expect this at all.
"What did you say!"
Zhao Xin sat up with his eyes wide open, pointed at the letter, and took two steps back. He bumped into a stool with a "swish" sound and stopped.
This…how could this be!
completely annihilated…
His Tiance Army, his sister!
My goodness, after this happened, he felt terrible. He didn't have the energy to say a few words to the admiral. He just sat on the chair and couldn't move.
His sister!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't worry!"
"This matter definitely didn't happen to you, otherwise how could you be indifferent? Now that I have encountered it, you are trying to persuade me. Don't you think it's a bit selfish?"
The admiral had good intentions, but he might end up losing more than he gained... and that's indeed the case.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be anxious and let me explain slowly!"
"What explanation is there? What else can I explain now? I'll ask you! I also know that this person cannot be resurrected. I will build the Princess's Tomb in two days."
Wait a minute!
It can't be so sudden, right? They built a cenotaph for the body before they even saw it.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I…I haven't finished speaking yet. Your Majesty, you are too pessimistic too early. Besides, there is still an army stationed at our border and they won't leave."
It's just like my own home.
This sentence rotted in the admiral's stomach and he didn't dare to say it out loud.
However, Zhao Xin only grasped the above sentence. What does it mean to be pessimistic too early?
Is it possible that he is not dead?
Now that the admiral has become so bold, could he be using the imperial sword to tease the emperor? This is probably too much to bear.
"So what you mean is... you're teasing me?"
When this question was asked, the other party immediately shut up and dared not speak.
"Speak up, is it possible that the Admiral is really playing tricks on me now?"
My goodness, this crime is not a simple one. He is just joking when he says this.
"Your Majesty... This is not pessimism. I just want you to manage the government properly."
