With Wang Bing's start, the others followed suit and spoke up.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the merchants are making rapid progress. We can wait for their letter and then start construction."

"The Lingqu Canal wasn't built in a day. Just think of the Zhengguo Canal, which took ten years to build and mobilized hundreds of thousands of workers. For a major water conservancy project like this, every possible preparation is essential."

“Even if it is not as long as the Zhengguo Canal, the time and effort it will take will be astronomical.”

The discussions continued and Ying Zheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Before they could finish their discussion, the figure of the eunuch Pushe appeared at the door.

The hall fell silent. The eunuch Pushe quickly walked to Ying Zheng's side and reported softly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor is fast asleep. The attendants can't detect anything unusual. Should we send a physician to check on him?"

Ying Zheng remained silent and was still lost in thought.

Fusu, who had been silent the whole time, now spoke anxiously, "Father?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Fusu, and he already understood what the other party had not said.

The Hetao area, which was supposed to be conquered four years later, was incorporated into the Qin Dynasty ahead of time.

If the original outcome of the Baiyue War were to be changed again, San'er's body...

A heaviness gradually gathered in his eyes.

The ministers seemed to have sensed this unusual atmosphere and began to restrain their breath.

I do not know how long it has been.

Ying Zheng clenched his hands, raised his head again, looked around at everyone in the hall, and ordered in a deep voice: "After the autumn harvest, dig the Lingqu Canal."

Raising his hand to stop all the ministers who wanted to persuade him again, Ying Zheng continued.

"Before the autumn harvest, attack a dishonest tribe. Remember, spread the news of their provocation and offense everywhere."

Wei Liao held down Wang Bing who was about to stand up and shook his head gently.

The matter has been decided, no further persuasion is allowed.

He was the first to stand up and loudly accepted the order: "I will definitely arrange this matter and let my military advisor be famous."

"it is good."

Thinking of Tu Sui's murder and the bad reputation he left for cruelty in later generations, Ying Zheng dismissed everyone and left Fusu alone.

"My son, you already know about Tu Sui's matter. I intend to send you to take charge of the southern region."

Fusu suddenly raised his head and looked up at Ying Zheng.

"Once we find Han Xin, you will bring him back to Xianyang." Ying Zheng raised his lip slightly and looked at Fusu playfully. "After your wife gives birth, you can go south again. I will order them to avoid bloodshed before you arrive."

Fusu lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, but his voice was firm, "I will obey the imperial order."

Ying Zheng looked Fusu up and down with satisfaction and nodded with satisfaction, "Do you understand my intention?"

"Yes, Father, I understand."

One is to keep things going according to plan.

One is to make his eldest son famous.

Several young masters were assigned to various border troops, and some of them wanted to seize the opportunity to invest and become disciples of their younger brothers.

He didn't care and just laughed it off.

However, the group of opportunists under his command treated it as a formidable enemy, offering various suggestions and plotting strategies. Some even wanted to act secretly and murder the life of Prince Qin.

Thinking of this, Fusu slowly tightened his five fingers. His father must have taken this into consideration and wanted him to go to the border to make some achievements and suppress the four directions.

"Father, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Ying Zheng nodded, then turned to the eunuch, Pushe, and said, "Early tomorrow morning, have Xia Wuqie and Ji Xiuyuan go to the Imperial Preceptor for a consultation. Also, send some blood-tonifying medicine to the place to the west."

"promise."

The eunuch Pushe bowed again and left.

However, this time, he headed west, passed through the garden of the county magistrate's mansion, and stopped in front of a remote servants' courtyard.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the man be fed three bowls of blood-tonifying soup overnight."

"Yes, sir, I will do it right away."

In the low hut, Liu Ji was holding a pair of chopsticks and poking the ground in the moonlight.

With a creaky sound, the door was opened from the outside.

Liu Ji immediately lay down on the ground and used his body to block the hole in the ground.

The black-armored guard took out three bowls of medicinal soup from the lunch box and looked at Liu Ji expressionlessly.

Liu Ji sat up reluctantly from the ground and reached out for the medicine soup on the table.

The black-armored guard glanced at him with disdain, strode forward, and regardless of Liu Ji's struggle, he grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him to the table.

Liu Ji was shocked, his blood boiling, and he felt that the end was coming.

But the black-armored guard Yun Tan walked to the hole calmly, kicked it a few times with his toes, and filled the hole.

That was the hope of escape that he had diligently dug out after arriving in Yingchuan!

For eight whole days, they dug day and night, and had to be vigilant against the patrols of the Black Armored Guards.

They are as big as bowls!

Liu Ji's face flushed and he was extremely angry!

The black-armored guard looked up at him again, and he lowered his head. He picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp as if resigned to his fate.

“Hiss…it’s so painful!”

The black-armored guard said nothing and just stared at the other two bowls.

Ugh……

Liu Ji closed his eyes and drank all the wine in one go, as if he was ready to sacrifice himself.

The black-armored guard then put away the empty bowl and turned to leave.

As for the chopsticks Liu Ji used to dig the hole?

The Black Armor Guard said that he had left it there on purpose.

The imperial physician said that this person needs to exercise properly.

You can exercise without going out.

Playing in the mud is the best thing for him.

The black-armored guard twitched his right cheek slightly, smirked, locked the door, and lay down on the recliner at the door.

The moon was high in the sky, the breeze was just right, and the ground had dried completely after the drizzle.

It's time for a good sleep.

Su Jinyue, who was worried about by everyone, slept particularly soundly today. When she woke up in the morning, she did not feel any discomfort.

"I'm fine, please don't give me more bitter medicine to drink, just be normal~"

Su Jinyue made a bitter face and tried to get Xia Wuqie and the others to stop writing the prescription.

Ji Xiuyuan's expression was as gentle as ever. "The lord's health-preserving prescription will also need to be changed. Don't worry, we have already researched several methods for making pills, and the amount of medicinal soup will definitely not increase."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Su Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief, took a few sugar pills, and swallowed them with warm water.

"Why are there so many sugar pills today?"

Shi Nu Dan took a small embroidered armor and passed it through Su Jinyue's arm, muttering, "A great victory in the north, a large area has been conquered."

The sound was very soft, but everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

Su Jinyue said happily: "That's really great news. I must ask my father for some reward!"

Excited voices echoed in the room, but no one was happy. They all responded to hide their inner worries.

"What kind of reward are you asking for? How about we go and have a look at my mountain of gold?"

"Okay, it's just a slight deflection, it won't take long." Tan said jokingly.

"Then let's go now."

Su Jinyue was so excited that she ran to the yard where Ying Zheng was without even having breakfast.

When she arrived, the servants were serving the meal.
