Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Chapter 609 Ying Zheng's Request

Chang'an City had strict laws and punishments; anyone who trespassed on the official road would be fined fifty taels of silver.

Those who have no silver to punish will be exiled to labor service.

Therefore, compared to the capital, no one dared to cross the main road in Chang'an and Xianyang.

Those rich kids are even more like that; they can drive around on the main road and if they are accidentally hit and killed, they don't have to pay for it with their lives.

Anyway, the overpass is only a short distance long.

The Black Cavalry, led by Fusu, stopped to the side.

From his vantage point, Fusu could see Shang Xiufang, as well as Lin Zhu and Hu Hai beside her.

"Why is the eighteenth brother here too?"

He dismounted, and the people gave way wherever he went.

Hu Hai noticed him and thought, 'Why is he here? Has my misdeeds been exposed? Is he here to take me to the palace for questioning?'

But Fusu ignored Huhai and immediately recognized Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu's appearance remained largely unchanged, and Fu Su secretly praised her, 'The title of the most beautiful woman in the world is indeed well-deserved.'

This is a heartfelt compliment.

"I am Fusu, and I greet the Heavenly King Lin, the Protector of the Nation."

At this moment, Lin Zhu realized that Fusu had come for him, and that Ying Zheng must have invited him.

Hu Hai was startled. 'Wait, why are you being so low-key?'

"Lin Zhu has met Young Master Fusu. Did Young Master Fusu come specifically to find me?"

"Indeed, Father King wishes to invite the Heavenly King to the palace for a discussion."

Fusu found Lin Zhu to be quite approachable and down-to-earth, thinking to himself, 'Indeed, King Lin seeks neither fame nor fortune, dedicating himself entirely to the people; he is a role model for us all.'

As for the many women around Lin Zhu, Fu Su didn't find it strange at all. What's wrong with such a good person having a few more female confidantes?

Since Ying Zheng had invited him, Lin Zhu naturally agreed, saying, "I'll trouble Young Master Fusu to lead the way."

"Please, both of you!"

Of course, Fusu wouldn't be so tactless as to tell Shang Xiufang to leave. He then turned to Huhai and said, "Eighteenth Brother, you should go back with us too."

"Yes, Brother Wang." Hu Hai still respected Fu Su quite a bit; appearances couldn't be faked.

Behind the black cavalry was a luxurious carriage, more appropriately called the Royal Carriage. Lin Zhu was invited to ride it, and Shang Xiufang was also there.

At the window to the right of the royal carriage, a masked black-clad cavalryman winked at Lin Zhu and Shang Xiufang.

She had some bulges on her chest, so she was a female knight.

Lin Zhu's eyes lit up, and he transmitted his voice, "Lü Lingqi?"

Lü Lingqi smiled silently. 'It seems Little Bamboo is quite clever after all!'

Lin Zhu was speechless. In the Qin Dynasty, only Lü Lingqi could be such a free-spirited female soldier. Who else could it be?

Shang Xiufang recognized her too, but didn't reply to Lü Lingqi; instead, a smile appeared in her eyes.

The black-clad cavalry moved swiftly, and the royal carriage followed suit, heading straight into the Qin King's palace.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Lin Zhu and Shang Xiufang were invited down.

Ba Dao Yue Shan had been waiting for a long time. He nodded to Lin Zhu and then looked at Shang Xiu Fang and said, "Xiu Fang, come sit with me for a while."

"Yes, Grandfather." Shang Xiufang agreed, said goodbye to Lin Zhu, and left with Yue Shan.

Fusu extended his hand in invitation, "Your Majesty, this way please!"

"Good work."

Lin Zhu followed Fu Su, walking up the steps one by one.

The steps were quite high, and he had an urge to step up in one go. Why make them so high? Is it convenient?

However, the Qin Palace was solemn and imposing, and he couldn't escape its atmosphere.

Upon entering the main hall, Ying Zheng, who was seated in a very high position, raised his head slightly upon seeing someone enter, then rose from his seat and walked down the steps.

"King Lin, it's been a long time."

He gave a generous gift.

Lin Zhu returned the greeting with clasped hands, "Greetings, King Qin!"

Ying Zheng did not return to his own seat, but instead sat at the same height as Lin Zhu.

Given Lin Zhu's current status, he is no less than Lin Zhu.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ying Zheng cut to the chase and asked, "Your Majesty is a man of great knowledge and experience. Is there anything in this world that can grant an emperor immortality?"

He could sense that Lin Zhu was extraordinary.

He could only hope for immortality by relying on Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu shook his head, then nodded.

"What does Your Majesty mean? If you know, I will give you anything within the Great Qin territory that I can afford as a reward."

Ying Zheng felt that he could not truly unify the world in a short period of time, so he wanted to achieve this through immortality.

Lin Zhu said, "The dragon in the East Sea has its dragon essence divided into seven parts. If one takes one of them, one can live forever."

He said it outright.

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty is truly knowledgeable. I wonder how strong that dragon is? How many soldiers should my Great Qin send to slay it?"

Lin Zhu was speechless. "Does the King of Qin intend to stuff that dragon to death?"

Fusu broke out in a cold sweat; it was the first time he had ever seen anyone dare to speak to his father like that.

"Haha, Heavenly King, you're so humorous. What if a terrestrial deity led the team?"

Ying Zheng was not offended. Knowing that there was such a thing as immortality, he would not blame Lin Zhu for his words.

At the same time, he also treated Lin Zhu as an equal, so why would he mind some jokes?

Lin Zhu shook his head, "The East Sea Flood Dragon's strength surpasses that of ordinary land immortals. Its physical strength alone might not even be able to break through Zhang Zhenren's defenses."

"This!" Ying Zheng fell into deep thought, then sighed and said, "It seems that I have no hope of achieving immortality!"

“Each generation has its own tasks to complete. Why should the King of Qin take on everything? If you do everything, how will your descendants cope? You might as well relax a bit.”

Lin Zhu knew why Ying Zheng wanted to live forever at this time; it wasn't because he was afraid of death, but because he wanted to unify the world.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty appeared to have unified the world, the country was still divided due to the enfeoffment of kings of different surnames.

It seems alright now, but there will definitely be constant wars in the future.

"Yes, you can't force it." Ying Zheng felt a little tired.

As for asking Lin Zhu for help, he couldn't bring himself to ask. Asking him to inquire about immortality was already going too far, so what else could he do?

Lin Zhu still admired Ying Zheng and said, "I think the King of Qin is about to reach his peak. Here is something for you to accept. It should help the King of Qin break through."

As he spoke, he gave Ying Zheng a spirit stone.

Although Ying Zheng was blessed with good fortune, the increase in his cultivation level did not significantly increase his lifespan, but it was certain that the stronger he was, the better his energy would be.

The potential lifespan will still increase somewhat, but not by much, maybe five or six years.

He looked curiously at the spirit stone in Lin Zhu's hand, took it, and after sensing its wonders, he said without hesitation, "Then I will accept it without hesitation. However, this item is precious, and I cannot take it for free."

He looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, take the Heavenly King to my treasury and see if there's anything he likes. Feel free to take it."

"Yes, Father!"

After exchanging greetings, Lin Zhu and Ying Zheng took their leave.

He knew that Ying Zheng didn't want to owe anyone favors, so he didn't refuse to go to the Qin King's treasury to pick out things, but he felt that nothing good would come out.

After all, the world of Shenzhou is only so big. Could there be anything like Dragon Balls or fragments of the Sky-Mending Stone?

Chapter 610 Famous Sword

We've arrived at the Qin King's treasury, but there aren't many things inside.

Fusu respectfully said, "Your Majesty, my father said that Your Majesty may choose whatever is available here."

Lin Zhu nodded and began to read.

At this moment, Ying Zheng held the spirit stone in his hand and absorbed only a little bit of its spiritual power. He felt refreshed and invigorated. His true essence, which had been weakened due to his luck, became active again after absorbing this little bit of spiritual power.

"This item can actually reverse a decline in fortune!"

A barely perceptible tremor flickered in his usually calm eyes; he felt he had struck gold.

Fortunately, it had been said before that Lin Zhu could choose whatever was in the treasure vault, otherwise he would owe a great favor.

Lin Zhu looked around the treasure vault and found mostly precious medicinal herbs such as thousand-year-old snow lotus and ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, which would cause quite a stir in the martial arts world if released there.

However, these precious medicines were nothing to him; their effects were still insufficient.

Other items included divine weapons and rare treasures that were more for show than practical use.

'As expected, even for the King of Qin, there wasn't much of value in this treasure trove.'

However, Ying Zheng couldn't be ignored, so he decided to choose one item.

After looking around, he thought there was a nice sword. The blade was shiny black, about four fingers wide, and the blade was three feet long. It was thick and heavy but not bulky.

Lin Zhu took a liking to it, picked it up, and asked Fu Su, who was standing beside him, "What kind of sword is this?"

Fusu explained, "It is called Zhanlu, which is said to be a sword of benevolence."

Lin Zhu nodded and said, "Then I'll take this sword, how about it?"

After he finally got his hands on the Zhanlu Sword, he discovered something different: for some reason, the Zhanlu Sword contained a core restriction.

I have no idea how it was made.
