I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 286: Lü Buwei pierces Ying Lou's throat with a sword
White armor, veiled face, silver blade.

This is the "Bai Bingtai", a group of loyal soldiers that Lü Buwei has spent decades training by recruiting heroes from all over the world.

Yongcheng, inside the ancestral temple.

At this time, Lu Buwei not only controlled all the people participating in the ceremony.

There were even a few elderly men who had served for three or two dynasties and had their heads chopped off.

"Is this guy Lu Buwei crazy? These people have a deep friendship with Longguan. What do you want to do by killing them?"

Huayang's father, Li Chengnian, the patriarch of the Longguan Li family, looked at the heads rolling on the ground and couldn't help but get furious.

A few months ago, Ying Lou used the condition of making his grandson "Su" the crown prince in exchange for taking over the six towns and twelve cities of Longguan.

Li Chengnian felt vaguely uneasy.

However, Li Chengnian had no intention of rebelling at that time. After all, the most important towns along the entire Longguan and the straight road were still under his control.

Moreover, in the court of the Qin Dynasty, almost everyone wanted to have a good relationship with the only son of the King of Qin, the Crown Prince "Su".

In time, as long as the sickly Yinglou dies, the Qin Dynasty will be in the hands of the Longguan Li family.

but.

Such days did not last long.

Ever since Yinglou listened to Li Si's advice and started taking concubines.

The officials in the court deliberately distanced themselves from the Crown Prince "Su".

After all, Yinglou, who had not taken a concubine for many years, suddenly made such a decision, which was obviously intended to weaken Longguan's influence in Daqin.

The position of crown prince may not be kept.

In addition, the intervention of Hong Wenyu's parents broke the Li family's commercial monopoly in Longguan that had lasted for hundreds of years.

This also intensified Li Chengnian's rebellious intentions.

However, Li Chengnian definitely did not have the courage to openly rebel.

If Lu Buwei had not assured him, there would be no need to take action in Longguan. Li Chengnian could just bring some prestigious people from the gentry to Yongcheng to participate in the Qin King's coronation ceremony and build up momentum for him after the event was accomplished.

In the future, they will support "Su" as the next King of Qin.

"Humph, if Lu Buwei fails, I will pretend that I know nothing."

"But then again, if this old man really succeeds, he will definitely let Su become the next King of Qin. But it will take time for Lu to succeed him. Even if Su can only sit on the throne for a few years, it will be enough for me and Huayang to achieve something."

Li Chengnian’s plan was very clear.

Regardless of whether Lü Buwei succeeded in this rebellion, he could stay out of it and even benefit from it.

only.

Li Chengnian was secretly feeling proud of himself.

Sudden.

A hot spring gushed out from the left side of the chest.

He lowered his head and looked down.

I saw a silver blade piercing into his back and piercing his heart.

The sticky blood instantly dyed the silk clothes red.

"Lü Bu.wei, you little..."

Li Chengnian wanted to point his finger at Lu Buwei and scold him.

But at the moment of falling to the ground, he saw behind him that all the 242 people from the Longguan clan who had come with him this time had their throats slashed by the silver-bladed long sword.

At this time, Huayang on the other side bit his lips tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was shaking.

Xiuxiao clenched her fists so tightly that she didn't even notice her nails piercing into her flesh.

"My king, hand over the imperial seal and give up the throne!"

After taking the royal sword handed to him by his subordinate, Lu Buwei stroked the blade with his hand and then stabbed directly at Ying Lou.

A sting.

The tip of the sword cut through Ying Lou's dragon robe, revealing the black water dragon seal embedded on his chest.

"Your Majesty!"

The ministers exclaimed.

But he was quickly driven away by Bai Bingtai's merciless and cold murderous intent.

Even if some loyal and brave ministers were willing to sacrifice their lives, it would ultimately be like an egg hitting a rock.

And at this time in Yongcheng.

Lü Buwei's camp, with 30,000 Baibingtai led by Zhuan Zhu and Zhu Hai, defended the four city gates to prevent the Qin army outside from discovering the clues and attacking the city.

"I am very curious, how did you manage to sneak so many people into Yongcheng without making any noise and avoiding searches?"

Ying Lou put his left hand behind his back and pushed away the king's sword across his chest with his right hand. He looked directly at Lu Buwei without a trace of fear in his eyes.

His calm and composed look made everyone wonder where his confidence came from.

"Haha, there is no need to avoid searches. In the past few months, I have not sent a single soldier to Yongcheng."

Lu Buwei laughed loudly, threw the Wang Jian away, and stroked his beard with a hint of pride in his confidence.

"Ten years ago, on the second day after the death of the former King Ying Chu, I had these people come from all over the Central Plains in batches, disguised as refugees, peddlers, hawkers, and merchants, to settle in Yongcheng, all for the purpose of today's action."

It takes ten years to sharpen a sword. Lu Buwei had actually started planning ten years ago.

Even Ying Lou couldn't help but admire such cunning and scheming.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Bending and extending his hand forward, Lu Buwei respectfully made an inviting gesture.

The two walked down the steps and came to the inner room of the ancestral temple.

"You are on guard outside. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to come in without my order."

"promise!"

Pushing open the door and entering, I saw a room filled with a slight smell of decay. In the middle of the room stood a round table and two round chairs.

On the round table was a pot of fine wine and a few dishes unique to Daqin.

"Your Majesty, the four gates of the city are now guarded by Zhuan Zhu and Zhu Hai with 30,000 white ice platforms. The life and death of all the officials in the ancestral temple, including you, are under my control. And in Xianyang City, everyone will respond to my call after I return."

"How do you plan to break this game?"

Lu Buwei stood up and filled a glass for Ying Lou and himself.

From the coming-of-age ceremony to now, although everything has gone very smoothly, Lu Buwei is a little confused. That is, the King of Qin's exclusive guard "Black Ice Tai" has never appeared from beginning to end.

Even before, when he stabbed Ying Lou with the king sword, the Black Ice Platform did not appear.

"There is no game, why break it?"

Ying Lou picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then spoke slowly.

"No game? Your Majesty, are you confident that I dare not rebel, or that I dare not kill you?"

Today, Lu Buwei was almost the same as usual, except that he had nothing in his hands.

"Prime Minister, hand over all the banks and granaries in the world, and I will spare your life."

He was so calm and composed, as if the person whose life was held hostage was Lu Buwei, not Ying Lou.

"Your Majesty, you may have a sharp tongue, but you can't change reality."

Put down the wine glass in your hand.

Lu Buwei stood up, drew out the royal sword again and swung it forward, placing the tip of the sword against Ying Lou's throat.

The tone was not as gentle as before, but he really had the intention to kill.

"Look now, it should be about time!"

Ying Lou glanced at the sun outside the window and said in confusion.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Buwei listened carefully and found that there seemed to be no sound of fighting outside the house.

And his sword was pressed tightly against Ying Lou's throat.

If you want to take someone's life, you only need to use a little force.

"General Mu Xuanzi should lead the Xuanzi Camp and all the Black Ice Terraces to strictly guard the maps and household registers of the various cities of the Qin Empire in the Afang Palace. Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Ying Dang, and Ying Ji should lead an army of 400,000 to block the two retreat routes to the west and east of Yongcheng."

"Prime Minister, you should know what this means!"

Ying Lou’s words made Lu Buwei’s heart beat wildly.

This time when he came to Yongcheng, he brought 80% of Bai Bingtai's people, and the rest were responsible for taking over the palace and getting the maps and household registers inside.

But what he didn't expect was that Ying Lou actually sent all the Black Ice Platform to Xianyang.

"Prime Minister, the Xuan Camp is a special force formed by the monks of Yuetan Mountain. With the addition of 10,000 Black Ice Platforms, I'm afraid all of your people have been wiped out."

And at this time in the Afang Palace.

Everything was just as Ying Lou said.

Mu Xuanzi and the disciples of Yuetan Mountain, together with ten thousand Black Ice Platforms, have killed all of Lu Buwei's seven thousand death warriors.

The entire palace was filled with blood and corpses.

The 200,000-strong army led by Wang Jian and Wang Ben blocked the area a hundred miles east of Yongcheng.

The 200,000 troops of Yingdang and Ying Ji were lined up neatly on the road heading west to Longguan.

As soon as the time comes, the two armies will launch a general attack on Yongcheng at the same time.

"Prime Minister, you lose. It is you who is trapped now, not me."

Ying Lou ignored the long sword in front of his throat and filled his and Lu Buwei's empty glasses with wine.

"Haha, you are worthy of being the king of our Great Qin. You really have good tactics."

Lu Buwei laughed twice, put the sword in his hand on the table, then bent down to sit down, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

"Surrender, my words still count."

Ying Lou looked normal, still calm and composed.

"My lord, do you think I will admit defeat?"

"will not."

"Yes, how can a person like me admit defeat? Even if I cannot be remembered for eternity, I will at least be remembered for eternity. Otherwise, I will not be willing to give up!"

suddenly.

There are no signs.

Lu Buwei instantly picked up the royal sword that had been put down, and without any hesitation, he pierced Ying Lou's neck with the sword.

Blood gushed out, splashing all over Lu Buwei, and also staining the wine and food on the table scarlet.

Outside the house, the two Bai Bingtai who were guarding the door strictly could smell the strong smell of blood.

But as death warriors, they never thought of breaking in.

"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to witness the scene of the Qin Dynasty unifying the world."

Looking at Ying Lou lying on the ground, Lu Buwei had a sad but meaningful expression.

It's like an expectation, but also like a relief.

Time flies by minute by second.

Until ten breaths later.

Ying Lou, who was lying on the ground and should have been dead, suddenly stretched out his right hand and pulled out the long sword that was stuck in his throat.

"Prime Minister, when did you know this?"

As Ying Lou stood up, the wound on his neck had healed.

He pulled hard under his jaw with his right hand, and the "thousand human skins" were separated from his body.

And Ying Lou also turned into the appearance of a golden cicada.

On the day.

When the two bodies met for the first time in the underground palace under the Lanshu Tower, Jin Chan used the belly of a fish to cut off Ying Lou's face and merged it into the skin of a thousand people.

The reason why it has not been used is because of this moment.

"When I first met General Jin Chan, I felt familiar with him. After our long conversation by the Gu River and our conversation at Jin's residence a few days ago, I am 90% sure that you two are the same person."

"My lord, I have watched you grow up. How could you hide this from me?"

Lu Buwei casually spilled the wine quilt stained with Jin Chan's blood, and then filled his own glass.

"But if I guess wrong, I will continue to start a rebellion and kill everyone in the Ying family here, including the crown prince Su. When the Qin Dynasty is without a leader, I will still have a chance."

When Lu Buwei said this, he was still the same as usual.

I can't figure out whether this is true or false.

"My words just now are still valid. Hand over the world's banks and granaries, and I will save your life."

"The account books, the network map, and the seals are all piled up in the back room of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The merchants related to them are all in Xianyang City at this time. My king, when you return, take my letter with you, and they will obey you."

Say it.

Lu Buwei took out a letter that had been prepared long ago and had Lu's seal on it from his arms and handed it to Jin Chan.

"Okay, I'll keep my word. After we capture Luoyang City, it will be your fiefdom, but..."

Just when Jin Chan was about to say that after arriving at his fiefdom, Lu Buwei would not be able to continue his business, nor would he be able to lead an army, and would never be able to step out of the city for the rest of his life.

However, Lu Buwei stretched out his hand to interrupt him.

"My king, why do you have to say such things? You know I will not obey."

"Besides, I just said, since I cannot be remembered for eternity, then I will be remembered for eternity!"

After standing up and opening the door, Lu Buwei lightly tapped his forehead towards Bai Bingtai outside the room. Then the two men drew their swords at their waists without hesitation and slashed their necks to commit suicide on the spot.

"My king, let's go back. I will give you a great gift to pave the way for you to unify the world."

On the way back to the place where the crowning ceremony was held.

Lu Buwei curiously inquired about the jade seal on Jin Chan's chest.

After all, he would not make a mistake in recognizing the imperial seal.

Moreover, if the Black Water Dragon Seal leaves the King of Qin's body for too long, not only will it lose the ability to mobilize the country's destiny, but Ying Lou will also suffer backlash and die.

"A gift from a friend!"

"friend?"

"The first emperor, Lin Yao."

Putting on the skins of thousands of people again, Jin Chan and Lu Buwei returned to the circular platform where the ceremony of coming of age was held.

"Your Majesty, Taiwei Chen Min is one of the Three Dukes, but he is incompetent. His mother's family is a noble of the Chu Kingdom. In the future, he will definitely stop the Qin from attacking Chu, and there is even a possibility that he will collaborate with the enemy. After the troops attack Luoyang City, Li Si can be promoted to Prime Minister, and your Miss Luoyang can be promoted to Taiwei."

"Dianke Hewan was a man that Li Mu of Zhao State had placed in Qin State five years ago. Although he was talented and virtuous, he was unable to persuade the State to surrender."

"Zheng Feng, the Minister of Rites, and Cui Dong, the Minister of the Imperial Household."

Lu Buwei stood on the circular platform, pointing and talking to the ministers who had already had their eyes blindfolded below, and spoke to Ying Lou.

Some of the people he was referring to had already become corpses.

"Your Majesty, although the Longguan nobles were killed, there are still other nobles in the court. These people eat salaries for nothing and occupy high positions but can hardly do anything."

Lu Buwei stroked the beard on his chin, his eyes firm and bright.

Just like the ambitious young man decades ago.

As the thick palm swung down.

Bai Bingtai raised his sword and slashed, and the heads of those whose names were called out fell to the ground one by one.
