Chapter 374 The Divine Beast that Protects the Country

By the time we boarded the arrow tower, it was already Haishi, and the sky in Qin Dynasty had turned completely dark.

However, looking from the stone and concrete arrow tower to the surroundings of the palace, there are bright and dark sentries separated by torches, illuminating the three layers of defense lines inside and outside.

The open space on the east side of the palace is already brightly lit, and several fires are burning, giving the open space a good view.

"Shopkeeper, as you said, I have prepared the location where the fireworks need to be placed. You can use this window to put them there at any time."

"That's no problem. Brother Zheng, please go to the front first. By the way, I'll give you this. This thing is called a walkie-talkie.

He can let you hear me talking from here. You can hold him down and talk to me. With this headset, after it is plugged in, only you can hear it, making communication between us more convenient."

"This small box? It has very similar functions to the mobile phone you gave me as a gift from the shop owner. But didn't you say that there is no network in Daqin, so I can't use it?"

Chen Ye took out a set of radio walkie-talkies from the display window. After explaining its functions, Qin Zheng held the walkie-talkie in his chest with a cherished expression.

Then according to Chen Ye's instructions, he put the earphone cord through his clothes and put it on his ears. However, while doing it, he still asked curiously.

While eating yesterday, Chongzhen and Liu Bei were playing with their mobile phones and had a lot of fun scrolling through Douyin and watching videos.

After Chen Ye realized that the atmosphere was not right, he took out a mobile phone from the display window and gave it to Qin Zheng. He also asked Liu Bei to teach him how to turn on and off the phone, and how to refresh the system to bring in Douyin.

"This thing can only be used to communicate with each other. They don't need a repeater to link, so they don't need a network.

By the way, there is also this, the big speaker, you should use it later, just say it to your mouth like this, I have already turned on the switch, you can take it out and speak directly."

"This thing is quite convenient, so I'll go down there. Shopkeeper, do a good job! I'll reward you with ten thousand gold."

Qin Zheng patted Chen Ye on the shoulder. From the arrow tower down, the gap between him and Chongzhen Liu Bei was just this. Chongzhen Liu Bei could naturally interact with Chen Ye on an equal footing. Chongzhen had lost his country, and Liu Bei had just become emperor.

But the one emperor of the ages has ruled the world for decades. Qin Zheng, who lost hundreds of thousands of people in battle or was killed because of him, still needs a lot of time to be approachable.

Until the death of Qin Zheng, the Qin Dynasty was firmly suppressed by him. Although there were frequent rebellions in various places, there was never a real crisis. It was completely different from Liu Bei and Chongzhen's mentality of being directly changed by others.

After Qin Zheng came down the wall ladder from the arrow tower, he walked a few steps. A secret sentry stood in the corner and saluted him with fists. He continued to walk forward to the corner, where Liu Lei and his people were waiting.

Qin Zheng walked up to them, waved his hand without hesitation, and released the large portable flashlight he had used in the window.

This miraculous method shocked Liu Lei and the guards at the front, and they did not dare to ask.

"You take this lamp, and now I will teach you how to use it. Here is the switch. I will talk about it later..."

Qin Zheng directed a few soldiers to prepare the flashlights that would be used for suppression later. On the other side of the village, Li Si stood at the front of the crowd. Behind him were officials from Qin Zheng's eastward patrol and Hengshan County who came to pay their respects.

of officials, big and small.

This group of accompanying officials who were temporarily summoned were also communicating in confusion, but their words were limited to the conjectures they had summoned, and they did not dare to mention anything too related to Qin Zheng.

In the far corner of the team, there are still a few people who are obviously isolated. They are old officials and nobles of the Zhao Kingdom. They cannot talk to the old Qin officials. Now that they are in their homeland, they are speechless and can only feel sad.

"Your Majesty is here."

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

The shouts gradually became louder and louder. Under the dim firelight, Qin Zheng, dressed in black clothes and wearing a bead curtain on his head, walked to the middle of the open space.

With a wave of his sleeves, even if he was dressed in black and blended into the darkness, even if his vision was unclear, the cries in the plains would stop neatly.

"Ever since I killed Poseidon at sea, there have been rumors that I am seriously ill and will die soon.

I am telling you now that these are all true. When I arrived in Julu County, I was indeed seriously ill and almost died."

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, the officials looked at Qin Zheng in surprise. They never expected that he would actually talk about this topic himself. Didn't he not let people talk about death?

Qin Zheng stretched out his hand, and the soldiers behind him turned on a bright flashlight. Qin Zheng's figure looked blurry and sacred in the bright light, and a trumpet appeared in his hand.

"When I was suffering from an illness and walking to the Sand Hill Palace, I received a sermon from the gods in my dream. Now my illness has been dispelled and I have regained my youth.

Now that I have received Taoism and live as long as heaven and earth, this is the recognition of me from the gods!"

After Qin Zheng finished shouting these words, the officials below became slightly commotion, but they still maintained order and waited for Qin Zheng to continue.

"Over the years, I have unified the six kingdoms and unified the world. After unification, I sent troops to build the Great Wall and build straight roads.

I know that many of you do not understand that you say that I have abused the power of the people, that I value the law, that I am a tyrant, and that I am spreading ideas that are not beneficial to me among the people."

"I don't dare! Your Majesty's wise thoughts will come true."

Under the leadership of Li Si, all the ministers joined hands and saluted Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng just admitted his mistake and smiled, but the ministers did not dare to take it seriously.

However, they were still shocked at this moment. Qin Zheng was actually able to get guidance from the immortals. Doesn't this mean that he is really destined by fate?

Although the news that Qin Zheng was seriously ill was strictly sealed, it was still leaked. Coupled with the exaggerated rumors, it was as if he would die immediately.

Many ministers were already thinking about who the new king would be. As a result, Qin Zheng suddenly became active. Who expected this?

“I order the world’s books to be written in the same language, and its carriages to be on the same track, so that all the people in the world will be of one mind, and they will all be Qin people, and the land of China will no longer be separated.

I built the Great Wall to control the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces, to defend our country, the Qin Dynasty, and to protect our country. This is for the sake of the Qin Dynasty, for the world, and for all the people to live a peaceful and stable life.

Which of these are not things that benefit all generations? Which of these are not for the benefit of the world?

During my tour in the east, I also came to the feeling that the people in the world are looking for corvee. People want a stable life, not the same unseen burdens.

Therefore, I hereby announce that I have decided to set off back to Xianyang tomorrow.

After returning to Xianyang, I request that the corvee be reduced by at least half within one year. Within three years, all corvées will be allowed to go home, and there will be no more corvee in the world.

At the same time, I will reuse the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to govern the people, establish universities, and train the survivors of the Six Kingdoms to serve as officials.

I want this world to be better than it has been in thousands of years! I want my people in the Qin Dynasty to have their old people supported, their children educated, and disasters saved!"

"Your Majesty is merciful! Your Majesty is wise!"

"On behalf of the Qin people in the world, I thank you, Your Majesty!"

If we can say who among the accompanying officials and Jingxing officials were the most excited after listening to Qin Zheng's words, it must be the nobles and petty officials from the original six countries.

They have always been in a state of being suppressed, which is why they silently colluded and resisted Qin Zheng, because Qin Zheng suppressed them too hard.

And now that Qin Zheng has expressed his position like this, it means that their good days are coming. What a waste of time. Isn't it nice to live the life of a nobleman honestly? Those who are loyal to King Zhao are almost dead.

Qin Zheng continued to wave his hands. This time with the help of lights, and the fact that the soldiers' lights were no longer facing everyone's line of sight, the officials could see more clearly and move faster.

"I swear here in the name of the First Emperor!

When I am here, I will guard the land and open up the frontiers, wipe out the four barbarians, and establish the foundation of our great Qin for eternity! If I die, I will transform into a dragon soul to protect China forever!

This oath is witnessed by the sun and the moon, recognized by heaven and earth, and heard by immortals, devils and gods."

"The Qin Dynasty will last for eternity, and the First Emperor will last for ten thousand years!"

All the ministers thought this was just an ordinary decree. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and the hum of the engine was unusually obvious in the night sky.

This sound made all the ministers look to the sky, but under the suppression of the lights, the shadows in the sky hovering and adjusting their positions did not attract their attention.

However, as Chen Ye gradually took control of the moment, the bright spotlights tied to the drone's fuselage and tail fins were activated at a height of 100 meters.

"What's that?"

"Chirp!!!! Chirp!"

A mechanically modified phoenix cry came down from a hundred meters in the air, which made the officials couldn't help but continue to look at the source of the sound in the sky.

"Strange, why is there fire in the sky?"

"This looks like a bird on fire?"

As the lights were turned on, a fiery red bird and beast appeared in the sky, burning with flames and dyeing the sky red.

The wings of this Phoenix drone modified from a propeller drone are more than ten meters wide, and the phoenix tail light strip it is dragging is 22 meters long, and it is rising and falling with the aircraft.

If it weren't for Chen Ye's abnormal strength and the arrow tower made of stone piers, it really couldn't bear his weight. Most people would not be able to hold the drone with their hands and let the drone's engine rotate enough to take off.

Not realistic at all.

The image of the phoenix appearing in the sky deeply impressed all the people in Jingxing County who were paying attention to the sky. The height of 100 meters was enough to be visible from more than ten miles away from the plain.

Not to mention, there was a loudspeaker above the phoenix, which kept blaring the phoenix's cry. The sound was transmitted to the officials below. After seeing the flaming phoenix in the sky clearly, they started to commotion.

"Escort! Escort!"

"This is a mythical beast! This is a mythical beast!"

"Lord Divine Beast, please spare my life!"

"Shoot! Shoot quickly! Protect Your Majesty!"

The whole scene fell into chaos. The sergeants on the outside wanted to rush in to escort them, but some of the ministers inside were running out.

Of course, not all ministers are lucid. Human spirits know that even a one percent chance and a 99 percent mortality rate will not make the emperor remember that you escaped alone.

Therefore, those who did not dare to run in front of Qin Zheng at this time ran towards Qin Zheng one after another, hoping to lure Qin Zheng away so that they could also run away.

Qin Zheng looked at the chaotic situation with a cold expression on his face. He held a loudspeaker in his hand and raised his volume and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, stop me!!! Buzz buzz!"

The sound of the loudspeaker at a close distance covered the sound of engines and the sound of phoenixes in the sky. Everyone looked at Qin Zheng holding the horn in his hand, dumbfounded.

"This mythical beast is the mount of the gods. I have seen it in my dream. Now that you have come across the fairyland to find me, it must be auspicious. Please be quiet and put down your weapons. Don't disturb the auspiciousness.

Now, everyone, look at Xiangrui and stare with wide eyes, this is the mythical beast that is looking for me, this is the only mythical beast in the world!"
