Ji Xiuyuan carefully put away his utensils, stood up and walked out of the room. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Ying Zheng standing outside.

He hurriedly bent down to greet, but Ying Zheng stopped him with his hand.

Ji Xiuyuan then retracted the words that were about to come out of his mouth, bowed respectfully and retreated.

The Grand Master is still waiting, so he needs to go over quickly.

Outside the tile-roofed house, Ying Zheng was still watching the

Liu Ji. He'd been imprisoned for over a year, yet he was still so alive.

He remembered the Black Armor Guards reporting that no one would talk to him on weekdays, nor would they let him go out.

Being imprisoned like this, most people would have already become depressed, or even driven crazy.

Is Liu Ji still so optimistic?

Why should he?

Ying Zheng's expression grew increasingly gloomy. If looks could kill, the other person would have died countless times already.

Is he so sure that I won't kill him?

Ah……

Tomorrow, if San'er doesn't wake up, I will personally take your head, and I will also cut off all the bloodlines of the Liu family.

There are also Lu Zhi, Xiang Yu, Xiao He and so on.

Everyone, no one left behind.

I will make you feel pain too!

Ying Zheng was thinking about this in his mind, his gaze turned from Liu Ji to the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up coldly.

And in that tiny country, I am not afraid of being known as a tyrant.

With a loud "boom", another flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by bursts of rumbling thunder.

The rain got heavier, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered over the sky, pressing down on it as if they were about to crash into the ground.

When Ying Zheng saw all this, he grinned in a good mood.

Angry?

Ha ha……

It’s good to know how to be angry.

My wrath is greater than yours!

Ying Zheng raised his foot and walked directly into the rain, preparing to go back to the house to take a shower and change clothes.

His legs were long, so the eunuch could only jog to keep up with him.

As they got closer, the eunuch Pushe vaguely heard the words "Human Emperor" coming from the front.

He couldn't hear clearly and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what did you say? The rain is heavy and I can't hear you clearly..."

He was answered by the sound of crackling rain.

Ying Zheng walked back to his room without stopping.

"Turn on the water and take a bath!"

"Yes, I will arrange it right away."

The sound of rain fell all night long, and Ying Zheng slept soundly with the sound of rain outside the window.

Until noon the next day, the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping.

Thick lead-gray clouds piled up layer upon layer, weighing heavily between heaven and earth.

The raindrops as big as beans fell with a crackling sound, and the whole world seemed to be covered by a layer of rain curtain, and it was hazy.

However, this did not affect everyone's determination to go up the mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

This eastern tour to Mount Tai and the holding of the Fengshan Ceremony have been prepared for a long time and are determined to succeed.

All rain gear and cloaks were carefully made by skilled craftsmen in the palace. They were not only made of high-quality materials and exquisite styles, but also extremely practical.

Everyone wore rain gear and stood in neat rows in the rain. From a distance, they looked like a winding dragon, bringing a unique and vast charm to this Fengshan ceremony.

Even the group of Confucian doctors who have always been polite seemed to be holding back their anger today and were determined to get this done.

They usually respect ancient rituals and attach great importance to grand ceremonies such as Fengshan, but now they are all reciting loudly and passionately.

"Your Majesty, such heavy rain must be a sign of Heaven's gratitude for the growing strength of our Great Qin!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, this is a good omen! A very good omen!" An elderly doctor said loudly. Although his voice was a little thin in the wind and rain, it did not affect the firmness in his words at all.

"Your Majesty is wise and the people are living a stable life with enough food and clothing. The rain has fallen at the right time and this year's grain harvest will surely be good!" Someone else spoke loudly, his words full of praise for Ying Zheng.

Auspicious words rang out among the crowd. Ying Zheng stood on a high platform, wearing a gorgeous dragon robe and a black rainproof cloak. The rain slid down the cloak, splashing small water droplets at his feet.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and his laughter shook the world.

"Hahaha, let's go up the mountain!"

"Yes! Let's go up the mountain!"

A neat and loud response sounded instantly, echoing throughout the valley.

The huge team began to climb up the winding mountain road.

The soldiers held spears, the tips of which flashed coldly in the rain. The ministers followed behind them, dressed in court robes, all of them in high spirits.

Those Confucian doctors were muttering to themselves and reciting ancient sacrificial texts, while the worshippers were holding the sacrificial vessels carefully, their expressions solemn and dignified.

The mountain road became slippery and difficult to walk on due to the rain. As the team continued to climb, the rain seemed to be getting heavier.

The wind was howling, making everyone's cloaks flutter, as if it would blow them down at any moment.

But everyone held on to their rain gear tightly and moved forward steadily step by step.

The top of Mount Tai is just around the corner.

The altar had already been set up there, as well as various sacrificial animals and ritual vessels.

Finally, the team arrived at the altar.

Everyone stood in order, ready to start the sacrifice at any time.

In such a solemn occasion, the appearance of a group of young children seemed a little abrupt, yet also natural.

In front of the child, a servant was carrying an exquisitely crafted sedan chair, and on the sedan chair was Su Jinyue, who was unconscious with her eyes closed.

This group of children were brought here overnight and were very scared. It was not until they were told that they were protecting the National Master that they became excited and active.

When they saw the unconscious and emaciated Su Jinyue this morning, they became extremely anxious. Some of the younger ones even started crying.

Miss Mantou is so nice, why does she look thinner than when they were begging?

They must behave well so that their aunt will wake up early.

"dong dong dong"

The drums sounded and the Fengshan ceremony officially began.

Ying Zheng held the jade disk in his hand, stood upright, neither kneeling nor bowing, letting the strong wind mixed with rain blow across his face.

The worshippers surrounded him, holding incense and candles, and chanted ancient hymns, telling the heaven and earth about the power of the Qin Dynasty, the achievements of Ying Zheng, and the kindness of the national teacher.

The incense and candles were lit, and Ying Zheng slowly placed the jade disk on the altar and began to loudly declare his existence to the heaven and earth.

"Glorious Heaven, vast Earth. Today, Ying Zheng, in the name of the Great Qin Emperor, ascends the summit of Mount Tai to perform the grand Fengshan ceremony, announcing it to heaven and earth."

"I, surnamed Ying, clan Zheng of Zhao, the First Emperor of the Great Qin, the ruler who unified the world. Inspired by the legacy of six generations, I wield the long-term strategy to rule the world, swallowing up the two Zhou dynasties and destroying the feudal lords. The four seas are united, and the world is united."

"In the name of 'Human Emperor', I hold the power of the world, determine the order of the universe, and forever ensure the stability of my country. I will live up to the trust of my ancestors and the expectations of the people."

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Suddenly, flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by loud bangs that shook the earth and sky.

Everyone's heart was pounding with fear at the sudden thunder.

However, Ying Zheng laughed out loud towards the sky.

He wanted to let the world know that he, Ying Zheng, was the supreme emperor of mankind and that the Qin Dynasty would last for thousands of years.

Before the prayer ended, Ying Zheng raised his voice and continued chanting amid the rumbling thunder.
