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

Chapter 80: Zhongnan Taibai Wang Shun
Borrow your life!

Or borrow the life of King Qin!
As soon as Lu Buwei said this, the court fell into dead silence.

The faces of the ministers turned as pale as paper, and each of them looked as if they had eaten three pounds of arsenic.

Some people even covered their mouths with their hands, fearing that the sound of their breathing would break the silence and make them the first to stand out.

Even the dancers and musicians who had retreated to the side held their breath in fear.

Although the young King of Qin was in poor health and faced the possibility of death at any time, the forces in the court had already had their own ulterior motives. Even the Queen Mother of Qin temporarily lived in Yongcheng. It was said that she wanted to reinstate the fetus in her belly as king.

But even so, asking the King of Qin for his life in front of all the officials, even if it was the Prime Minister Lu Buwei, was a bit too much!

"Excuse me?"

Ying Lou sat back on the dragon throne, stared at Lu Buwei coldly and asked.

Lu Buwei below wanted to see Ying Lou's reaction through his facial expression, but who knew that the young face behind the crown and pearl curtain did not change at all.

It seemed that even his eyebrows were not raised at all.

"It's quite interesting. He looks a bit like what a King of Qin should be like!"

Lu Buwei thought to himself with a smile.

"Your Majesty, during this year of my travels, I have made many friends with young talents, including some of the best from the other three kingdoms."

"Just tell me, what do you mean by borrowing my life?"

Ying Lou held his chin with his left hand and tapped lightly on the Black Water Dragon Chair with his right hand.

Dong, dong, dong; the rhythm is neither fast nor slow, matching the breathing.

This calm and composed look disrupted Lu Buwei's plan.

"Lend the three kingdoms one hundred miles of the Zhongnan Mountains, one hundred miles of the Taibai Mountains, and one hundred miles of the Wangshun Mountains from the Qinling Mountains!"

At some point, Lu Buwei took out a pair of jade walnuts from his arms and held them in his palms.

"As long as we lend these three mountains for forty-nine years, the three kingdoms will unite and send more than one million troops and bring their national fortunes to attack the Tang Kingdom together with our Great Qin!"

"As long as Chang'an is captured, 50% of the land of Tang will belong to Qin!"

Lu Buwei's words were like thousands of thunderclaps in winter, frightening all the civil and military officials in the court to the point of almost fainting.

Even the guests sitting beside him had their eyes wide open and their pupils dilated instantly.

He kept swallowing saliva in his dry throat and cold sweat flowed down his pale cheeks.

"Haha, the Prime Minister is indeed planning to kill me. Could it be that he is planning to replace Ying with Lu?"

Ying Lou still looked calm and composed, his face resting on his left hand without a single ripple.

According to legend, the dragon vein of the Qin Dynasty's Ying clan: the Qinling Mountains, has a total of thirty peaks.

Among them, Zhongnan, Taibai and Wangshun are the main peaks.

If someone else's ancestral hall is built on these three peaks, the fate of the Qin Dynasty will change in forty-nine years.

"Your Majesty, I dare not do this. I do this only for the Great Qin!"

Lu Buwei clasped his hands together and bowed.

But Ying Lou's reaction at this moment made his brows frown rarely.

This feeling of not being able to see through others seems to have occurred when the previous king passed away more than ten years ago.

"For the sake of the Qin Dynasty, give the Prime Minister a seat!"

Ying Lou stood up, waved his hand and spoke in a majestic manner.

There was no trace of anger or uneasiness in his tone.

But in my heart.

Ying Lou was thinking: "Haha, for the Great Qin, but not for the Great Qin of the Ying Clan?"

As the young eunuch moved a stool and chair for Lu Buwei, Ying Lou continued to speak.

"Prime Minister, we lent the dragon veins of the Qin Dynasty to other countries just to exchange them for sending troops!"

"Do you think that I, the King of Qin, am mentally ill?"

Sudden.

Without any warning, Ying Lou's tone changed, and his majesty seemed to give people an irresistible feeling.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chang Ling has already taken up the command. This time, the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Tang will send out at least one million troops. When the three kingdoms arrive at Hangu Pass, what are your chances of winning?" When the two were engaged in a verbal game, Lu Buwei's years of habit made him unwilling to lose the upper hand.

"You are afraid before the battle. Do you think that the fierce army of Qin will be defeated when facing Chu, Tang and Qi?"

Ying Lou stared coldly into the eyes of Lu Buwei below the stage, showing no fear at all.

"My king, the Bai family army, Bai Macuo, is willing to lead the troops to defeat the enemy!"

"Wang Jiajun, Wang Ben, is willing to lead the troops to defeat the enemy!"

"Snetten, I am willing to lead my troops to defeat the enemy. I will not stop fighting until my blood is shed and I die!"

"Meng's army, please be ordered to attack the three-nation coalition army, and are willing to issue a military order!"

this moment.

Except for Lu Buwei's followers, the rest of the Qin generals came out one after another.

They knelt on one knee and asked Ying Lou, who was sitting on the dragon throne, for orders to fight the enemy.

"Prime Minister, these are the soldiers of our Great Qin, generals unrivaled in the world!"

Ying Lou looked down at Lu Buwei with contempt.

It seems to be saying that the Qin Dynasty is still named Ying rather than Lu.

"Good, good, good, you are worthy of being the great general of my Great Qin. It would be better if you were not needed to form alliances among the three kingdoms!"

Lu Buwei suddenly stood up, threw his head back and laughed.

The pair of jade walnuts in his hands were crushed in an instant by his big hands.

"My king, with you in Daqin, the Central Plains will definitely be unified!"

Lu Buwei's unexpected flattery stunned everyone present.

Only Ying Lou on the dragon throne remained unmoved, and there was even a barely perceptible cold light in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, it is an indisputable fact that Lord Chang Ling has betrayed the Qin Dynasty!"

"How should we deal with this according to Qin law?"

Lu Buwei stroked the beard on his chin, stared at Ying Lou meaningfully and asked.

"Exterminate the three clans, behead, quarter, cut in half, and throw them into the streets!"

Ying Lou's tone was steady, as if in his heart Chang Lingjun had really rebelled.

"Okay, I have ordered my men to send all 37 family members of Lord Chang Ling in prison to the execution ground. Now we are just waiting for the king to order the execution."

Lu Buwei stared at Ying Lou's eyes intently, trying to see regret, sadness, and reluctance in Ying Lou's eyes.
Even a little bit is enough!
He wanted to confirm his suspicions.

To prove Lord Chang Ling's treason, there must be other intentions, and it must be a conspiracy between him and Ying Lou.

"Okay, but it's not enough to just give the order. I want to kill them myself and see their end with my own eyes!"

To Lu Buwei's surprise, there was not a trace of the emotion he wanted to see in Ying Lou's eyes at this moment.

Even this angry look didn't seem like an act.

"Your Majesty, I will prepare it right away!"

After letting out a long breath, Lu Buwei called his men to prepare for the execution ground in advance.

Since Ying Lou has proposed this move, all officials can only follow him.

Although it was a bloody scene, the civil servants did not want to see it.

But the king was already so angry that if he didn't want to be suspected of treason, he had no choice but to go along.

On the way to the downtown area of ​​Xianyang City.

Ying Lou sat alone in the carriage.

I saw that his eyes were closed and two lines of tears quietly flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan that will definitely prevent Lü Buwei from getting suspicious!"

this moment.

Ying Lou remembered what Chang Lingjun had said to him.
