These are a group of shadow guards that the First Emperor has secretly trained recently by relying on the power of crystal cores.
Each of them has been rigorously screened, and then repeatedly tempered with crystal cores to nourish their muscles and bones and internal energy. They are not only loyal to the First Emperor, but also have superb martial arts skills.
The shadow guard in front of him, codenamed "Ji", has stimulated his potential to the extreme under the special nourishment of the crystal core.
He is particularly good at physical skills and endurance. It is said that when he exerts all his strength, he can travel 500 miles a day and travel between mountains and rivers as if walking on flat ground.
Therefore, the important task of tracking and reporting the movements of the eldest prince Fusu in the near future was given to him.
"Your Majesty."
The shadow guard's voice was steady and calm, but he reported a shocking piece of news.
"The eldest son and his entourage were ambushed by unidentified individuals near Dongjun a few days ago. Fortunately, an immortal intervened and rescued them. The young master and his personal guards are all safe and sound."
"The immortal also gifted the eldest son three unique 'vehicles' that could gallop on their own without the need for horses, as well as enough refined rice and flour to feed hundreds of people for several days."
As the words fell, the hall fell into a brief silence.
After listening to the report, Emperor Qin Shi Huang's expression did not change much.
However, his eyes, which had become sharper and deeper due to the absorption of the crystal core, narrowed slightly, and his fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the cold imperial desk from time to time.
No one knew what this emperor of all ages was thinking at this moment. The only sounds in the hall were the slight knocking sounds and an invisible, suffocating pressure.
However, Zhao Gao, who had been standing behind the First Emperor with his head lowered and his eyes lowered, felt a sudden chill in his heart when he heard that Fusu had been assassinated.
A chill instantly jumped from the soles of my feet to the top of my head!
Cold sweat soaked his underwear almost immediately.
Hu Hai!
That idiot who is always causing trouble but can’t do anything good!
Zhao Gao was shocked and angry, as he had clearly warned him repeatedly.
Now that His Majesty's health is gradually recovering, his attitude towards Fusu has become subtle. Moreover, there is a variable such as the "immortal" appearing beside Fusu. You must not act rashly anymore and must proceed slowly!
But he still couldn't hold back and took action on his own!
And it failed!
Isn't this just stroking the tiger's whiskers and seeking death?!
What if... What if that... What if His Majesty finds out that it was Hu Hai who did it and becomes furious...
Zhao Gao only felt that his eyes were getting darker and his legs were uncontrollably going weak.
If it weren't for the strong willpower he had developed from years of serving the emperor, and his instinctive fear of the First Emperor's majesty, he would have almost collapsed on the spot.
He clenched his back teeth tightly, dug his nails deep into his palms, and used the pain to force himself to maintain a humble and submissive posture, not daring to reveal even a little bit of the turmoil in his heart.
The sky of Daqin is really going to change because of this crystal core and this "immortal" who suddenly appeared!
And where will Zhao Gao go in this impending great change?
He didn't dare think about it anymore.
