So many things have happened during the two years that Lu Li was in a coma.
Although history did change, Huhai did not succeed to the throne, and Fusu successfully ascended to the throne.
However, the things he did were exactly the same as those done by Hu Hai.
Zhao Gao did not alter Ying Zheng's will; instead, he devoted himself to the Qin Dynasty, yet he was still imprisoned by Fusu.
He felt both helpless and relieved that he hadn't killed Chu Jiu back then.
"Brother Lu, what can you do in Xianyang?" Lu Fusheng asked, crying.
Now that the Qin Dynasty has changed, the new emperor is Fusu. Even if Lu Li goes to Xianyang, what can he do?
"I want to ask Fusu why he did this!"
Lu Li's eyes burned with rage; he couldn't stand by and watch the Qin Dynasty, which they had conquered, perish after only two generations.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just wait for me in Guigu."
After saying that, Lu Li packed his bags and left Ghost Valley.
Little Deer died, Cangwu died, Lu Fusheng became a cripple again, Wei Zhuang disappeared, Meng Tian died unjustly, and Zhao Gao was imprisoned. One thing after another caused Lu Li immense pain.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Li finally arrived at the gate of Xianyang City.
At this time, the Qin Dynasty was in a period of internal turmoil, so even the city of Xianyang was heavily guarded. To enter Xianyang, one could only obtain permission from the garrison commander.
The soldiers guarding the city stopped him: "Halt! What are you doing here?"
Lu Li stared at the other person indifferently, and after a moment of silence, said, "Find someone."
Upon hearing this, the city guards immediately shouted, "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"
Lu Li sneered, "Fusu."
"How dare he! He addresses His Majesty by his given name! Guards! Seize him and throw him in jail!"
Several soldiers were about to rush up and grab him when Lu Li swayed slightly. Suddenly, a strong aura emanated from him, and the soldiers were sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and howling in pain.
Lu Li strode forward, and the onlookers were so frightened that they all retreated.
"roll!"
After saying that, Lu Li walked directly into Xianyang City. The other guards did not dare to stop him anymore and let him enter Xianyang City.
Lu Li walked straight through Xianyang Palace and headed towards the east gate.
Because that was the Qin Dynasty's imperial prison, and Chu Jiu was still imprisoned there.
Just as he was about to step into the prison, he heard footsteps and then dozens of arrows were pointed at him.
"Who dares to trespass into the imperial prison?"
Lu Li raised his head and said coldly, "My name is Lu Li!"
Upon hearing the name, the soldiers were visibly stunned. Several of the older soldiers immediately widened their eyes, and upon seeing Lu Li's face clearly, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Greetings, Master!"
Upon hearing this title, Lu Li's expression softened slightly.
He murmured, "You...are people from the Black Ice Guard?"
The leader immediately said, "Master, we are all from the Black Ice Guard's Assassination Division!"
When Lu Li built the Black Ice Platform, he divided it into two parts: the Intelligence Department, which had a large number of members spread across the seven kingdoms; and the Assassination Department, which had fewer members, but each member possessed unique skills and was mainly engaged in assassination.
"Get up, take me to see Chu Jiu."
The ninth day of the lunar month—I haven't heard that name in a long time. But the old folks at the Black Ice Station remember it!
All the soldiers made way, and several young soldiers asked, "Who is Lu Li? Why are you calling him master?"
An older veteran next to him slapped him on the head.
"You know nothing! When Mr. Lu was conquering the six kingdoms, you weren't even born yet!"
"He personally built the Black Ice Platform!"
The veteran looked at Lu Li with admiration. His biggest regret in life was not being selected by the Black Ice Team.
The young soldier rubbed his head and asked, puzzled, "Isn't Zhao Gao the leader of the Black Ice Guard?"
"Lord Zhao only inherited the Black Ice Guard. His real name is Chu Jiu, and he was once a member of the Black Ice Guard! You are too young and don't know about the things that happened in the past. Sigh."
When Lu Li found Chu Jiu, he discovered that Chu Jiu had been tortured beyond recognition.
He was covered in wounds, even his lips were split open, and his clothes were stained with blood. He was extremely weak.
Seeing Chu Jiu in such a disheveled state, Lu Li felt extremely distressed. He gritted his teeth, realizing that he had caused Chu Jiu to end up like this.
"The ninth day."
When Chu Jiu heard the familiar voice, she slowly raised her head and looked at Lu Li. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but his throat seemed blocked, and he couldn't utter a word.
"The ninth day..."
Lu Li slowly walked up to Chu Jiu, squatted down, and grasped his scarred arm, only to see that his tongue had been cut off!
He drew his Heavenly Question Sword and severed the chains binding Chu Jiu.
He reached out a trembling hand and stroked Chu Jiu's cheek: "How did you become like this?"
Chu Jiu shook his head vigorously, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry...it's all my fault! I'm so sorry..."
Lu Li was filled with regret. Back then, he almost killed Chu Jiu just because of a name.
"Come on, come with me!"
Lu Li carried the battered Chu Jiu on his back and walked out, and no one dared to stop him.
When he reached the outside of the imperial prison, Li Si rushed over upon hearing the news.
The moment he saw Lu Li, his face was filled with disbelief.
"Mr. Lu..."
