Chapter 182 The Enchanting Ancestor
The moment he opened the door, his eyes met those of the two guards standing watch.
The two guards were caught off guard when the tightly closed gate was suddenly opened. They were clearly stunned for a moment, and instinctively drew their long swords.
However, both of them were somewhat surprised when they saw who was inside the room.
This was because the clothing of these people was very different from that of the Qin Dynasty, and it did not resemble the clothing of the Western Regions.
These people don't look like they're from around here, and they all look exceptionally young.
"Go and inform Minister Meng! I'll keep an eye on things here!" The guard, who quickly came to his senses, whispered to the person next to him.
"Alright! Be careful!" the guard said, and then hurriedly ran away.
Gu Xinyan and the others in the store also saw what the two were doing and knew they were going to call for help. They smiled but didn't say anything.
After all, neither of these two is in charge, so even if they say something, the person in front of them probably won't react at all. So it's better to save your breath and talk to the First Emperor later.
While the situation remained silent and deadlocked, the guards on the other side rushed into the Jade Emperor Temple.
Their hurried manner puzzled the soldiers on guard. What major event had occurred? Why were they in such a rush? But they were on guard duty and couldn't afford to think about such things.
"Report! Minister Meng, there's movement in that strange house!" The guard rushed to Meng Yi and said in a very fast voice.
Meng Yi, who had just come out of Qin Shi Huang's house, was stunned by the news. After confirming it several times, he finally understood all the details.
So he gestured for the guards to go back first. After watching the guards walk away, he turned around and hurriedly walked back into the house. As soon as he entered, he saw His Majesty having a meal. He quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the guard who was guarding that house just came to report that the house has been opened from the inside, and five strangely dressed people have come out. It seems that the invisible transparent wall has disappeared. The guard just said that they can step inside."
"Oh? Is that so? Come! Follow me to take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng paused in his soup, his eyes filled with curiosity about the strange house. He no longer wanted to eat breakfast, so he put down his spoon and got up to walk out of the Jade Emperor Temple.
Seeing this, Zhao Gao, who was serving nearby, quickly followed. The group walked very fast and soon left the Jade Emperor Temple.
From a distance, everyone could see several people standing inside the house, and judging from their clothes, they were definitely not from their area.
Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, but couldn't match it with the fierce slave. He became more and more curious about the identities of these people.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything, so he simply stopped thinking about it and strode towards Gu Xinyan and the others.
Meanwhile, inside the shop, Gu Xinyan and her four companions were staring at each other in disbelief with the two guards.
Then a group of people came out of the Jade Emperor Temple. This commotion attracted the attention of the people stationed outside, who came out of their tents and gathered around.
Looking at the tall man leading the group, he wore a black robe with gold trim, simple yet dignified, and he was a perfect clothes hanger.
His long hair was tied up high, and his jade crown shimmered in the sunlight, its light flashing as he moved.
Handsome! Extremely handsome! And that jade crown must have cost a fortune.
The thought flashed through the minds of Gu Xinyan and the others. When they realized what they were thinking, they all shook their heads violently, then blinked their big eyes and stared straight at the man.
Without even guessing, you know that this man is their charming ancestor. Just look at that aura, he's extraordinary. The moment he appears, he's the most handsome guy on the whole street.
Ying Zheng: "........."
The men's gazes were undisguised, staring directly at him. Normally, if someone looked at him like that, he would have been angry long ago, but today, he felt no anger at all; on the contrary, he was in a very good mood.
The fact that these people's gazes, though direct, contained no malice or aggression, but only pure curiosity and admiration, put Ying Zheng in a good mood, giving him a subtle sense of satisfaction.
Taking big strides, I arrived at the place where I couldn't move yesterday and stopped. After thinking for a moment, I tried to take a step forward.
This time, there was no obstruction at all, and the transparent wall disappeared. Ying Zheng was surprised, but he did not show it on his face.
He slowly walked to a spot a few steps away from the store and stopped. Looking at the group of people still staring at him in disbelief, he couldn't help but cough lightly and said in a deep voice:
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan and the others, who had been intently watching their ancestor, quickly took a step forward, glanced at the densely packed crowd outside, and then replied:
"Your Majesty, we are interdimensional merchants, and from the future at that. We are here to do business, but not on the top of Mount Tai, but within Your Majesty's Xianyang City!"
Gu Xinyan's words caused an instant sensation, and a heated discussion broke out in the crowd.
Even Ying Zheng was at a loss for words at this moment; he still harbored some disbelief.
However, the clothes these people wore all highlighted their uniqueness, and the invisible wall he touched last night made him believe it even more.
"I know what a merchant is, but what is a dimensional merchant? You claim to be from the future, but how do you prove that?"
"Your Majesty, our existence, and the existence of this shop, are sufficient proof that the items sold here come from the future."
"We are just a few people who travel between worlds to do business. Our arrival here this time was by chance. Your Majesty, would you like to come in and take a look?" Gu Xinyan invited with a smile.
Upon hearing her words, Ying Zheng was clearly taken aback. Although he didn't quite understand the business of traveling between different worlds, it didn't stop him from going in to take a look.
The future world? That's interesting. I never expected the clothes of the future to be like this. It's strange, but it doesn't look bad. I wonder if he later conquered the Western Regions or achieved immortality!
Despite having countless doubts in his heart, he did not show any emotion on his face at this moment. When he heard the group invite him to go in and take a look, he nodded and responded softly.
"Can!"
