The two were not willing to give up. The Great Qin was strong, and this was their only chance. They stayed in the fiefdom of Zhaoyi, hoping that one of them would be noticed by someone attending the Zhaoyi clan meeting from various places tomorrow.
Neither of them came from a family of military nobility, and for the Great Qin, which had no shortage of soldiers under its twenty-rank noble system, the two had no path to rise.
【For them, Zhaozi's lineage directly connects to the King of Qin, and this is their only hope.】
Will you choose to manifest yourself once in the Master's Hall to allow them to join?
"Manifest?"
Zhao Ping'an suddenly felt confused. "To manifest?"
The clan meeting is quite understandable, gathering together once a year to brag.
"At the clan meeting, King Qin Shi Huang and Li Si will also attend."
Suddenly, there's this sense of being a descendant of the ancestors; what's going on?
【Since the owner successfully obtained the manifestation tool 'Tianyuan Mirror', the owner can bind a new object during this manifestation】
【Given the imminent fall of the Great Qin within the next thirty years, the owner can select an individual from the Zhaoyi lineage to bind in advance and begin nurturing.】
【We provided this option to prevent the owner's lineage from being interrupted.】
【This manifestation can be carried out with the help of the Tianyuan Mirror, allowing the owner to experience the era firsthand.】
【You can bring three items with you.】
"This game's main storyline can't be broken. Is giving me this immersive Tianyuan Mirror just a convenient favor for me?"
Zhao Ping'an quickly realized:
It should be as such.
"Can I bring three items with me?"
That's quite good.
This is much better than the previous method of passing back and forth, and using chat boxes is convenient.
He looked at the small mirror in his hand, "Let's try?"
【After the manifestation, the owner will appear in front of the ancestral hall of Zhaozi's fiefdom.】
At this moment, King Qin Shi Huang and Li Si were preparing inside the ancestral hall of Zhaoyi.
【You can now inform Li Si of your impending appearance and set a password, so that Li Si can go there.】
"The game system prepared it quite well, saving me the trouble of having to manifest there and then."
After all, he has only possessed the dominion of this game for two or three days, like a newly wealthy man whose temperament hasn't yet caught up:
When others appear at the Ancestor Hall, they would say, "Ah! Ah! Ah! The ancestors have manifested!"
If Zhao Ping'an, who is twenty years old, were to appear at the Ancestor Hall, people would only say:
"Where did this brat come from? Dare he dare to barge into the ancestor hall of Zhaoyi's lineage? Take him away and beat him to death with sticks!"
This ancestor's demeanor is something I'm still not quite mastering.
"Then let's contact Qin Shi Huang first. It seems that, according to Qin law, if we're looking for Li Si instead of Qin Shi Huang, it might cause some issues."
Li Si is already the Chancellor, but things still cannot be left to Li Si:
For Qin Shi Huang, this would be an overstepping of his duties.
He opened the chat window with [Qin Shi Huang] and made the first initiative to communicate with him.
"Are you there?"
"I need you to do me a favor."
...
Qin Shi Huang was preparing for the Zhaoyi lineage's clan meeting.
Due to the Zhaoyi lineage's meritorious service in saving the emperor, and because both Qin Shi Huang and Li Si consider themselves members of the Zhaoyi lineage, the relationship between the Zhaoyi lineage and Qin Shi Huang has always been very close.
Suddenly, a sense of palpitations came, and he felt a bit strange:
What's happening?
"Could it be that I'm overworking and have taken ill? I'll hand things over to Li Si and rest for a while..."
"Oh, it's Zhao Shī looking for me."
"Zhao Shī actually made the first move to contact me?"
Qin Shi Huang felt somewhat surprised; this was the first time something like this had happened.
He took out the talismans, and naturally entered the void of time and space. The words on the talismans were clear.
"I'm going to the Zhaoyi lineage's clan meeting."
"Please prepare for me."
"I will appear at the Dong Street Beef Soup Shop."
"Can you pick me up there half an hour later? OK?"
"At that time, you can ask, 'Odd changes, even stays the same,' and I will reply with 'Observe the quadrant of the symbol.'"
This is the designated manifestation location written on the Tianyuan Mirror.
"From the looks of it, both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are there for the manifestation?"
In the current version of the "Records of the Grand Historian," the place where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu said those words, "A man should live like this," is within the territory of the Zhaoyi lineage.
As for this pick-up code...
It was Zhao Ping'an's evil whims again -
which immediately scared a time traveler to death.
"Ready to set off?"
Zhao Ping'an looked at the high-hanging moon outside, it was already three in the morning.
"Manifest!"
Suddenly, he felt a dense mist coming towards him, and then he realized that he had stepped into a certain place.
【As for the change in physical conditions after manifestation, it is to prevent the influence of clothing. The owner's physical condition after manifestation will be altered】
【The manifestation is over, and the owner will be automatically restored.】
...
Qin Shi Huang looked at the talismans in his hand, feeling somewhat disjointed:
Zhaoyi... That Zhaoyi, who has helped him countless times, is about to appear now?
"Zhaoyi gentleman is coming, he must be here to evaluate our merits."
"It seems that Zhaoyi is also very concerned about these things of the Zhaoyi lineage."
"I must ensure that this clan meeting is a success."
Just joking, Zhaoyi has great merits for the Qin Empire!
Whether it was helping the Qin Empire capture the Yangquan Marquis thirty years ago, or putting down the Lvai Rebellion ten years ago, even to nurturing today's Li Si who proposed the county system for governing...
All of these things together make Zhaoyi fully qualified to be a guest of honor in the Great Qin!
Moreover, this is the fiefdom of the Zhaoyi lineage, where countless people worship Zhaoyi as their deity!
...
Zhao Ping'an slowly opened his eyes and sat in the beef soup shop.
In front of him were the three bowls of beef soup he had just bought with the money from the game, one each of lamb, pork, and chicken.
In the Warring States period, a relatively luxurious enjoyment in a place farther away from Zhao country was to drink soup:
Because the iron smelting technology at this time was not sufficiently developed, there were no iron pots available for frying food.
The only way to eat them was to boil or roast them.
"But their beef soup is indeed very fresh."
He detected the fresh flavor from his homeland.
This is pure hyper-ancient technology. In modern times, at home, people would need to rely on monosodium glutamate to achieve such a taste.
He was sitting alone there, thinking the beef soup was a small bowl like those in the cafeteria, so he ordered three bowls...
Who knew it was so big, fucking hell?
He was worrying about how to finish all three bowls by himself, when someone patted his shoulder and asked,
"Oh, little brother, you've also come here to attend the clan meeting of the Zhaoyi lineage?"
"Heard that the Zhaoyi lineage is doing quite well now. Even King Qin Shi Huang is coming to preside over the clan meeting in person, what a big deal!"
"However, the Zhaoyi, what kind of person he is, I don't know at all for now."
"We don't know either, we just know that the Zhaoyi lineage has inexplicably become powerful, hehe."
