Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 27: The great overhaul of military strategy, the art of resurrection from the dead, the door to the thirty-six magic techniques!

Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai Hall.

Ying Xuan stood with his hands behind his back on the stone steps, looking at the scenery of the Xianyang Palace.

A sound of hurried footsteps came from behind.

"Your Majesty, Court Administrator Yang Rui requests to see you!" The voice of the eunuch in front of the emperor sounded.

Hearing this, Ying Xuan collected his thoughts and said, "Xuan!"

Not long after, a handsome young man came slowly and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am Yang Rui, the Minister of Justice, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

Ying Xuan waved his hand, looked at the young man kneeling in front of him, and nodded slightly.

Yang Rui was one of the officials under the Chief Justice, holding the rank of Tingzheng, and his power was second only to that of the Chief Justice.

The Yang family also came from a powerful clan in the Qin Dynasty, but unlike the Bao family, the Yang family's background was relatively shallow.

The rise of the Yang family did not take long. It relied on the great general Yang Duanhe from the time of Emperor Zulong. With his military exploits in conquering several countries, the Yang family successfully established a foothold in the Qin Dynasty.

At the same time, the Yang family is also a relatively famous family of cultivators among the many independent cultivators in the world.

The reason for this is that there are rumors that Yang Duanhe's ancestors were descendants of Yang Jian, the general of Xiqi who helped Xiqi and overthrew the Shang Dynasty during the Battle of the Gods.

Of course, this rumor is difficult to confirm.

Because, after the Battle of the Gods, Yang Jian was deified in his physical body and lived in Guanjiangkou, protecting the people there and never appeared in the world again.

It is difficult to find his traces in the world, and it is even more difficult to confirm whether Yang Duanhe's ancestors are descendants of Yang Jian.

However, regardless of whether Yang Duanhe is the descendant of Yang Jian, at least Yang Duanhe does not have the clairvoyance that Yang Jian had.

The skills and supernatural powers practiced by the Yang family are not Taoist techniques, but the Yin-Yang techniques of the Yin-Yang School among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

In addition, unlike the neutrality of the Bao clan, the Yang clan made its position clear and supported Ying Xuan, a powerful clan of the Qin Dynasty.

This is why Ying Xuan did not summon the two supervisors of the left and right who were under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, but instead summoned Yang Rui, the Supreme Court Chief.

"What happened to Bao Yun's death?"

Ying Xuan led the way and brought Yang Rui to the side palace of Zhangtai Palace, and then asked about Bao Yun's death.

Hearing this, Yang Rui was not surprised. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Your Majesty, there are no obvious scars on Lord Bao's body, but the magic power in his body is surging, as if he had experienced a fierce battle!"

Have you ever been in a fierce fight?
Hearing this, Ying Xuan's eyes flickered and he nodded to signal Yang Rui to continue.

"I have asked the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau to examine the body. Lord Bao should have been dead for some time, probably more than ten days!" Yang Rui said in a deep voice.

Ying Xuan's expression was slightly tense, and he frowned and asked, "More than ten days? At the court meeting before, I saw Bao Yun appear in the court, right under my nose!"

Not long ago, Jiaye and Fuhu entered the Xianyang Palace and met the emperor at the court meeting. At that time, all the civil and military officials were in the main hall.

As one of the Nine Ministers, Bao Yun was naturally among them.

At that time, there were great practitioners of the Golden Immortal Realm such as Li Si and Kasyapa in the main hall.

In addition, there were Qin generals such as Wang Jian and Meng Wu. How could so many people not realize that Bao Yun was a dead man?

This matter is inexplicably weird!

"After discussing with the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, I guessed that it might be the military strategist's magical power of 'resurrection from the dead', so there were no abnormalities." Yang Rui said slowly.

Military supernatural powers!
Ying Xuan frowned, and relevant information emerged in his mind.

After the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, Xiqi conspired to engage in business, and the three religions split up. Since then, the human king was no longer around, and the world entered an era ruled by the Zhou emperor.

Afterwards, because the Earthly Immortal Realm was broken, many powerful people rebuilt it with their supreme power.

But the immortal world after reconstruction is far inferior to before. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, the laws are incomplete, and it is difficult to accommodate powerful immortal gods.

This is also the reason why, since the Conferred God Tribulation, there have been very few immortals and gods descending to the mortal world to show their divine power. In addition, after the reconstruction of the Earthly Immortal Realm, due to the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth, practitioners have become increasingly scarce.

To this day, the only thing left in the world is the Taoist tradition left by the immortals and gods, which has evolved into various schools of thought after years of changes.

The military strategist is one of the various schools of thought. The disciples of the military strategist in all dynasties were most known for leading troops to fight on the battlefield. Many of them became generals and commanders, and their names were recorded in history.

Rumor has it that the military tradition can be traced back to the ancient powerful woman Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, which is why the magical powers are so extraordinary.

And 'borrowing a corpse to revive the soul' is one of the many magical powers of the military strategist. A practitioner can borrow the corpse of another person, inhabit it with his own spirit, and control the body as if it were a living person, making it difficult to distinguish between gods and ghosts.

This magical power is extremely strange and difficult for ordinary practitioners to decipher. It is often used by disciples of military strategists on the battlefield to achieve victory by surprise.

"How many military disciples are there in Xianyang City?" Ying Xuan did not even ask who were the military disciples in Xianyang City, but directly asked how many there were.

Because, among all the schools of thought, the military school has the largest number of disciples, except for the agricultural school.

Most of the soldiers who joined the army were disciples of military strategists, and they had mastered military techniques and supernatural powers.

For example, in the Qin Dynasty, more than half of the generals were disciples of military strategists.

“Too many to count!”

Yang Rui shook his head, and after a moment of hesitation, he added: "However, he has military skills, can attack Lord Bao, and can kill him, and use the magical power of 'resurrection'... This category is not big!"

Hearing this, Ying Xuan nodded. He had also thought of this and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

If that's the case, there's absolutely no chance that Li Si is the murderer, and even people from his faction are not suspects.

"There should be another force in Xianyang City. I want you to find out their origins!"

Ying Xuan suddenly spoke up, looked at Yang Rui, and said slowly: "If I am not mistaken, Bao Yun should have been killed by this group of people!"

"Another force?" Yang Rui was stunned.

He was a little surprised. Why was Ying Xuan so sure that there was another force in Xianyang City?
Moreover, it is directly asserted that Bao Yun was killed by these people?

"Your Majesty, do you have any clues?" Yang Rui couldn't help but ask.

"It's just a hunch!"

Ying Xuan shook his head. Seeing Yang Rui's hesitation, he expressed his uneasiness and speculation: "Now, Daqin is facing internal and external troubles. There are many people who don't want Xianyang City to be stable!"

"But if someone could do something untoward in Xianyang City, and it wasn't done by someone in the imperial court...it would be even more impossible for me to do such a thing!"

"Adding to the scope of suspicion Yang Qing just mentioned, we can trace back the motive and make some guesses!"

After saying that, Ying Xuan stood up and walked out of the hall, standing on the steps, looking in the direction of Xianyang City.

"Tracing back the motive?"

Yang Rui was a little confused, so he followed and stood behind Ying Xuan, following his sight. Suddenly he remembered something and his eyes widened!
“Could it be…!” Yang Rui took a breath, his pupils trembled, and his mind was shaken.

Ying Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, silent, just looking at Xianyang City... or rather, looking in the direction of the Imperial Prison in the city!
As one of the Nine Ministers, Bao Yun, in addition to being in charge of the laws of the Qin Dynasty, also has another responsibility, which is to guard the Qin Imperial Prison!

Since the person who killed Bao Yun was not a member of Li Si or Zhao Gao, nor was he arranged by Ying Xuan, then this third-party force that suddenly emerged must be targeting Bao Yun!
What Bao Yun is most likely to be coveted by others is the Great Qin Prison under his jurisdiction!
Someone wants to jailbreak!

"Are there any prisoners with special identities in the imperial prison?" Ying Xuan went over in his mind all the people who had been imprisoned since he ascended the throne, and shook his head secretly.

He had only been on the throne for a short time and had not yet started a major purge, so the cause of the incident could not have been him.

"People with special identities... The imperial prison holds those who have committed notorious crimes. Most of them have not been executed, but are sentenced to death because the death penalty is not enough, or they cannot be executed!"

Yang Ruiqiang suppressed the trembling in his heart, and then quickly said: "If you want to talk about a special identity, it is the old master who was captured by our Great Qin when the previous emperor swept across the world and conquered various countries!"

The former rulers of the countries that were conquered by the Qin Dynasty?

Ying Xuan's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something. He seemed to understand why Bao Yun was killed and the purpose of the prison break by the third party force!
