Zhao Ping'an has gradually figured out the nature of the system as well.
Every exchange between the past and the present, whether it's exchanging information in the chat window or material, is a so-called "node" in this game.
Each node will change the direction of history.
As just mentioned, if Zhao Ping'an chooses to reveal the future to Li Si, history will remain unchanged.
However, if Zhao Ping'an chooses to fabricate something absurd in the past, it will change history.
Zhao Ping'an's counsel to Li Si is actually a bet for Li Si.
It is impossible to mobilize a large number of guards from Xianyang to Yong in a short period of time, which is very difficult.
During the time when transportation was backward and Qin Shihuang had not yet constructed a direct road throughout the country, Yong was almost 1,000 miles away from Xianyang and virtually impossible to allocate resources flexibly.
Therefore, only one place defense can be chosen!
The Qin king's guards numbered over a thousand, and Lao Ai alone had thousands of guards among his open guests, not to mention those hidden in the shadows.
So it's a bet!
In fact, such a risky strategy is not a good one in terms of logic.
But, Li Si and Qin Shihuang actually believed Zhao Ping'an—
Because this is the only choice.
For this master and apprentice with weak control in the court and society, this is the only solution:
Bet on Lao Ai, dare not commit the great crime of defying heaven and earth, and take action in Xianyang!
They can only trust Zhao Ping'an.
He knows that Qin Shihuang will definitely make moves in Yong, so he orders his guards to accompany him all day, afraid that Qin Shihuang will take action before he can.
【Lü Buwei is observing the situation, without preparing to get involved.】
【He is the one who started his career with Li Si, of course, he knows the relationship between Zhao's family and Li Si, but he did not tell Vixen of Zhao and Lao Ai about Li Si's affairs.】
【Perhaps Lü Buwei has made arrangements in this regard as well, but who knows?】
【No one can understand the thoughts of the old fox who wrote the Lüshi Qiujian.】
"Lü Buwei is really……"
"What's with this game, dammit? You don't want me to know, and I can't know?"
"Motherfucker."
"Fine, let's keep going."
Zhao Ping'an silently watched the game screen.
"I don't know when I can have a dialogue with Ying Zheng."
Regardless of the evaluation, for this emperor who has a profound impact on the ancient history of China, ——
Having a conversation with him is something that a student who once loved history would find very desirable.
【Please be cautious in using the Undead Mantle in the coming days.】
【He will be an important resource in historical nodes.】
【In the seven days, Lao Ai was not completely unaware.】
【His guests reported to him that Qin Shihuang was moving a large army at night to head towards Yong.】
["He smiled."]
["He smiled at the ignorance of Qin Shihuang—"]
["He really thinks that with the army, he can stop himself?"]
["He couldn't make a move inside Xianyang because the Meng family was still standing by Qin Shihuang."]
["But Qin Shihuang and Li Si don't know that his power cannot enter the city of Xianyang."]
["But when it comes to Yong, he can no longer say that it's fine."]
"The game's script needs some improvement……"
Zhao Ping'an complained, "Is it Lao Ai who is truly ignorant, or is the game's script not well-written?"
"However, it's actually quite reasonable:"
Lao Ai seems to be just a flower pot type.
[After seven days]
The coming-of-age ceremony finally arrived.
After arranging matters in Yong, Lao Ai then spent his time at the palace with his child and Empress Dowager Zhao.
["His large army is now in Yong, waiting to attack Qin Shihuang, with only a small number of guards left to protect them."]
["Empress Dowager Zhao recently suffered from the old disease of the Zhaoyang dynasty, unable to go to Yong, and Lao Ai, as a close eunuch, naturally should stay."]
["This is Lao Ai's preparation to keep a distance from Yong:]
["He loves his life and is unwilling to go directly to Yong."]
["After the early court ended, Lao Ai went to the palace of the empress dowager and detailed his plan to her."]
["The empress dowager was extremely angry, saying repeatedly that it was not allowed: That was her own flesh and blood, and she would not permit Lao Ai to act rashly."]
["Lao Ai, however, told her, 'I will only arrest Qin Shihuang and confine him, seize his power from the ministers.'"]
["The empress dowager repeatedly said that it was not allowed, but Lao Ai told her the opposite:"]
["The arrow is on the string; it cannot be stopped. Everything is ready."]
["Empress Dowager Zhao was extremely repentant. She knew that it was her own fault."]
["Lao Ai was just about to leave to continue arranging the matters, but was restrained by a group of people directly."]
["Lao Ai was greatly shocked. Where did this armed force come from?"]
["He should have already fully controlled the guards of the Qin King Palace!"]
["At this time, someone wielding a long sword had already entered the palace of the empress dowager."]
["His eyes held a heart-wrenching desolation."]
["He turned his head and glanced at Lao Ai, instructing him, 'Don't be subtle.'"]
"This is more like Emperor Qin Shi Huang."
Zhao Ping'an looked at the phone screen and felt that the taste was finally right:
The previous scene, where the game's Qin Shi Huang acted too much like the one in the historical record, was not to everyone's liking.
["Lao Ai stood in shock for a moment, quickly exclaimed:"]
["Your Majesty? How come you're here?"]
["He was very surprised. Today, Qin Shihuang should have been holding the Coming-of-Age Ceremony!"]
["He had even arranged for the army to ambush Qin Shihuang."]
["Qin Shihuang remained silent, merely advancing forward."]
["Lao Ai quickly realized——"]
["I was fooled!"]
["Qin Shihuang never went to Yong!"]
["This is a trap set by Qin Shihuang!"]
["Just as Lao Ai was full of despair, a buzzing sound was heard."]
"Is the modeling scene coming now?"
Zhao Ping'an looked at the beautiful modeling scene on the phone screen, "Is there going to be another historical node at this time?"
...
At the front of the empress dowager's palace.
The palace gate of the Empress Dowager's palace.
A large army is gathering within the royal palace.
Qin Shihuang was taken aback. "Where did this force come from?"
He soon realized:
Behind the army, a man dressed in brocade robes stood firmly in front of it, protecting the army.
Lü Buwei.
After Li Si became an early member of the ruling group of Qin, Lü Buwei began to hesitate before taking action.
It's more accurate to say that Lü Buwei was cautious not just out of respect for Li Si, but for the person behind Li Si—the Marquis Zhao.
He believed that Zhao Xiao could be the most influential factor in the chaos, with Zhao Xiao present, Qin Shihuang might be the most authoritarian emperor of the Qin!
He realized that, with Qin Shihuang's temperament, no matter what, he would die.
He couldn't bear to flee, so he chose to commit suicide with Lao Ai.
Today, it is necessary to strangle Qin Shihuang before he grows up!
Lü Buwei lightly waved his hand, indicating:
"Shoot!"
...
At this moment.
Zhao Ping'an's phone screen abruptly stopped displaying the modeling animation.
He knew that the so-called "historical node" had once again appeared:
["Due to the changes you've made in history, you've created the Zhao family lineage, causing Lü Buwei to decisively remove the potential threat early on."]
["Do you want to use an Undead Amulet once to save Qin Shihuang now?"]
