Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

"Since the situation is so critical, let's set off!"

"With the two of us working together, it won't take too long to get to Xianyang."

"As long as we grasp the timing difference, we can eliminate Luo Wang, Zhao Gao, and Changping Jun in one fell swoop."

We must not let any of them escape!

"Agreed!" Dunruo nodded in agreement and turned to Yao Jia, saying, "Please take full responsibility for things here."

"After finishing the task, lead the army back to Xianyang."

Yao and Jia did not raise any objections to the arrangement.

He knew that if he traveled with the two of them, he would inevitably slow them down.

Furthermore, it is also necessary to leave someone here to manage the miscellaneous tasks after the battlefield.

As the leader of the Black Ice Guard, this kind of mission is his forte.

Yao Jia agreed, "Rest assured, I will handle this matter without any problems."

"Dunruo, you go first."

Then, Lin Qi said, "There are some things that need to be explained to Yao Jia."

"Understood!" Without asking any further questions, Dunruo subtly disappeared.

After watching Dun Ruo leave, Yao Jia couldn't help but ask Lin Qi curiously, "Is there something you want to discuss?"

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Could you please find a carriage and take the people being held there with you?"

Yao Jia immediately understood his meaning and beamed with joy: "So that's how it is!"

"I'll take care of this, you can rest assured!"

Having received confirmation from Yao Jia, Lin Qi nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Then, he pushed off with his toes and, like a shadow, chased after Dunruo.

**Xianyang**

**In the Xing Le Hall within the Imperial Palace**

In the main hall now, only two figures with distinct outlines stand inside.

A person stood upright, gazing into the distance from the stone steps;

The other person stood respectfully to the side, with his eyes slightly lowered.

These two men were King Ying Zheng of Qin and Zhang Han, the commander of the Shadow Guard!

Ying Zheng stood motionless, gazing at the ever-changing clouds in the sky, waiting for the midday sun to shine down.

Only then did he slowly withdraw his disappointed gaze.

Then his calm voice rang out softly, "The timing was almost perfect."

"These measures should yield considerable benefits."

"If Lynch's performance can reach an even higher level, he might even be able to sweep away all his opponents."

Ying Zheng's words made Zhang Han listen quietly, still maintaining his sideways posture without saying a word.

When Ying Zheng called his name: "Zhang Han!"

Zhang Han's eyes suddenly brightened, revealing a sharp glint, and he stepped forward, saying, "Please give your orders, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng's gaze was unstoppable, and his authoritative voice followed, "Issue the order and prepare for action."

"Even if we can't eliminate the enemy completely, we should at least start to resolve the chaos in the capital."

"Regarding the Luo Wang, Zhao Gao, and Lord Changping..."

"I find this unbelievable!" With that, Ying Zheng waved his hand decisively: "No matter what, all of this must end!"

Zhang Han's expression remained unchanged, and he respectfully bowed and replied, "Yes!"

Immediately, he turned and quickly left his seat to deliver the order.

Once again, only one person remained standing alone in the main hall.

Ying Zheng's gaze was deep as he looked once again at the boundless blue sky in the distance.

"Having removed those obstacles, we will embark on the journey of unification!" "With the six kingdoms unified, Qin will reign supreme over all under heaven!"

Almost at the same time.

In another part of Xianyang, Lord Changping was living in his own mansion, sitting comfortably in a small pavilion in the courtyard, gently savoring the fine wine in his cup.

He was in a particularly good mood today because he was convinced that the operation would be a success and that Lin Qi would not escape his fate.

The thought of the enemy's imminent demise filled Changping with uncontainable joy, and he raised his cup to drink a few more mouthfuls.

"The time has come, the show is about to begin," he murmured, then tilted his head back and downed the wine in his glass, a smug smile on his face, as if everything was going according to plan.

Suddenly, a loud bang shattered the tranquility. With a crash, the wine glass slipped from his hand and shattered on the floor in shock.

"What's going on?" Changping-jun's face instantly turned gloomy, full of displeasure and doubt.

His clothes were stained with wine, which was extremely embarrassing.

"Guards!" he shouted sternly, clearly very dissatisfied with the current situation.

A tall attendant immediately appeared, bowing respectfully. "I await your orders, my lord." Lord Changping's expression softened slightly, but he still looked angry. "Quickly go and find out the reason." "Yes, my lord." The attendant quickly left. Lord Changping examined his dirty clothes again, feeling extremely displeased. "I'd better change my clothes first."

After changing into a clean set of new clothes, Lord Changping slowly walked into the courtyard again. Just as he was about to savor the fine wine in his cup once more, he discovered that the attendant he had ordered to scout the situation had not returned.

He began to feel anxious. "What on earth is going on? Why haven't they returned for so long?" This incompetence infuriated him. "They're utterly useless, more likely to cause trouble than anything else." Burning with rage, Changping Jun decided to check the situation himself and strode towards the door.

Just as he reached the gate of the mansion, his body involuntarily stiffened.

"Something's not right!" "Even if my attendants are incompetent, they should at least have some reports to share." His unease quickly turned into vigilance, and he suddenly realized that the situation was much more serious than he had imagined.

Almost at that moment, a slight "whoosh" sound alerted him.

Turning around, I saw a familiar figure quietly appear in my field of vision.

"Changping-kun, where are you going in such a hurry?" The voice was calm and familiar, but it made Changping-kun's heart almost stop beating, and his whole body tensed up instantly.

Then, several steady footsteps approached.

"Shadow Guard - Zhang Han?" Sure enough, the visitor was Zhang Han, the leader of the Shadow Guard. He was dispatched by Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin to arrest Xiong Qi, the traitorous Lord Changping.

"Zhang Han, what brings you to my residence so late at night?" Despite his inner turmoil, Lord Changping tried to maintain his composure, attempting to salvage the last glimmer of hope—that perhaps the other party's visit was not for him.

However, when Zhang Han stopped and looked him in the eye, he replied, "I am here on the Emperor's orders to arrest the rebel Lord Changping, Xiong Qi. If there is any disobedience, I will deal with him on the spot!" These gentle words were like a hammer, shattering the last shred of hope in Lord Changping's heart.

It felt as if countless bees were buzzing on his forehead, his thoughts were chaotic and blurred.

"it's over!"

"Everything is lost!"

His mind was blank.

Decades of planning and scheming vanished in an instant, like bubbles!

……

The Net, its headquarters are located in a secluded place!

Zhao Gao sat in the deep courtyard, his eyes closed, seemingly deep in thought.

"Logically speaking, the time is ripe!" he thought to himself.

Just then, Zhao Gao slowly opened his eyes, revealing a deep and composed expression.

Based on the previous plan, now is the time to take action.

Nevertheless, he also realized that the operation might proceed sooner than expected, but this was still within his expectations.

In Zhao Gao's plan, this operation was sure to succeed in one fell swoop, and Lin Qi's life would be in danger! With the sword saint Gai Nie, more than ten extraordinary grandmasters, the Black and White Scissors, and the elite troops led by Yan Ri—these were all forces carefully arranged by Luo Wang to ensure that no one could escape this calamity.

"If Lynch dies, the pressure will be relieved a lot!"

"With the Black Ice Guard severely weakened, our Luo Wang has a golden opportunity to expand its power!" Zhao Gao muttered to himself, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He felt much more relaxed as the immense pressure was about to be relieved.

Lin Qi's growth rate was astonishing. In less than a month, he rose from the peak of the Innate Realm to a higher level, winning every battle and defeating many powerful enemies.

Even a character of Wei Zhuang's strength could not escape disaster.

The threat posed by Lynch was so great that it chilled everyone to the bone.

As long as Lin Qi exists, Luo Wang cannot cross the Black Ice Platform; even worse, Luo Wang may be directly destroyed by Lin Qi.

Therefore, we must spare no effort to kill Lynch!

Therefore, Zhao Gao decided to put aside past grievances and join forces with various forces to jointly attack Lin Qi.

"After Lin Qi dies, all the blame can be placed on Gai Nie."

"Then send Yanri to deal with Gai Nie!"

"In this way, the whole process can be completed perfectly, and His Majesty will not notice anything unusual."

Zhao Gao was already devising how to report Lin Qi's death to Ying Zheng so that the matter could be completely concealed.

However, right now.

Hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Master, there is an important situation to report!" an urgent voice suddenly rang out.

Zhao Gao was startled by the sound: "What is it?" "Come in!" A moment later,

A member of the Luo Wang organization quickly approached, bowed, and said, "Master, an emergency has occurred!" Hearing this, Zhao Gao frowned slightly, stared at the man, and asked, "What emergency are you talking about? Tell me in detail!"

The member immediately said, "We just received intelligence that the Black Ice Guard has made new moves." "Really? The Black Ice Guard is only taking action now?" Zhao Gao seemed a little surprised, then chuckled, "They're sending people out of Xianyang now, don't they realize it's too late?" He believed that the Black Ice Guard had received information about Lin Qi and Yao Jia's whereabouts, which was why they sent out experts.

But the subordinate immediately added, "Master, it's not that we're sending people out of the city, but rather a relocation within the city; they haven't left Xianyang."

Their specific objectives are still unclear.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao frowned even more deeply.

"The adjustments are limited to within the city... Why is that?" He ordered his subordinates: "Immediately increase surveillance efforts, investigate whether the Black Ice Guard can make internal moves, and find out where their target is."

"Yes, Master!" the man replied, and quickly withdrew.

As he watched his subordinates walk away, Zhao Gao was filled with doubt.

"There's clearly a siege outside, do we really need so many people involved?"

"What exactly is the purpose of Black Ice Guard's actions?" "Da da da—" Just as he was lost in thought...

Another set of footsteps sounded.

"Master, another important matter needs to be reported!" Just like the subordinate before him, another person rushed in to report, catching Zhao Gao off guard.
