Chapter 84 Wind! Wind! Wind! A strong wind!
The next day, early in the morning.
As the sun rises, its golden rays bathe the majestic city of Xianyang.
Outside the city gate, a thousand Qin warriors, clad in armor and armed with weapons, stood in neat rows, their imposing aura soaring to the sky!
Zhang Fan, Fu Su, Mo Feng, and their group were preparing to set off.
Just then!
"His Majesty has arrived—!!!"
A loud announcement, like a thunderclap, suddenly resounded across the city walls of Xianyang!
What?!
boom!!!
At the city gate, there were people from Zhang Fan's group who were about to set off for war, ordinary people who came to see them off, and merchants who came to watch the excitement along the street!
In that instant, everyone's mind went completely blank!
They suddenly looked up!
then!
Everyone's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints!
On the towering city wall, a majestic figure dressed in a black dragon robe stood with his hands behind his back!
It was the First Emperor!
Ying Zheng!!!
Behind him stood Prime Minister Li Si, Marquis Wang Ben of Tongwu, and all the civil and military officials, without exception!
They all came!
quiet!
Deathly silence!
The entire east gate of Xianyang was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
next second!
"Splash—!!!"
Inside and outside the city gates, tens of thousands of people knelt down in unison, like wheat that had been cut down!
They prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling all over, overwhelmed with excitement!
"Good heavens! It's His Majesty! His Majesty has actually come to see us off in person!"
"My God! What an honor! Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, when has there ever been such a privilege?!"
"Just who is this immortal master Zhang Fan... that His Majesty would personally come to the city to see him off!"
The people have gone completely mad!
The look in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Fan was filled with nothing but endless awe and fervor!
And within the ranks of officials, an even greater uproar erupted!
Everyone's face was filled with utter shock and disbelief!
They stared intently at the tall figure on the city wall, feeling as if their worldview had been turned upside down!
"Personally climbing the city walls to see him off...this...this...this honor surpasses even that bestowed upon the supreme general who led the conquest of a nation back then!"
"He's gone mad! His Majesty must be insane! To go to such lengths for a mere sorcerer!"
"It's over! The Qin Dynasty's court is about to undergo a complete upheaval!"
Li Si's pupils contracted violently!
He followed behind Ying Zheng, watching the emperor's back as he faced the city.
For the first time, that usually calm and composed face revealed an undisguised shock!
He got it!
He understood completely!
Zhang Fan's position in His Majesty's heart has far exceeded his imagination!
This is no longer a favored minister!
This is... a national treasure!
It is an existence comparable to the entire Qin Dynasty!
At this moment, beneath the city walls.
Zhang Fan, Fu Su, Mo Feng, and the others were completely dumbfounded!
Their minds went completely blank!
Especially Zhang Fan, when he looked at that familiar figure on the city wall, a million grass mud horses galloped through his mind!
What the hell!
Old Zheng!
You're playing this high?!
I'm just going to mine some minerals! Why are you making such a big fuss?!
Fusu trembled all over, his eyes reddening with emotion!
He looked at his father on the city wall, and then at his teacher beside him.
An unprecedented sense of pride and mission welled up from the bottom of my heart!
At this moment when everyone is watching and the world is silent!
On the city wall, Ying Zheng spoke!
His voice, though not loud, was like a thunderclap, clearly resounding throughout the entire East Gate of Xianyang!
"People of Qin! Soldiers!"
"Today! My immortal master Zhang Fan will be dispatched to Shangdang County by my command!"
"His departure is not for my sake, nor for his own!"
"It's for you! It's for the sake of all the people in this world!"
Ying Zheng's voice suddenly rose, filled with boundless domineering power and expectation!
"The place he's going is a barren land! He's facing unknown dangers!"
"But he will bring back for my Great Qin a mighty torrent of steel, enough to forge an everlasting dynasty!"
"He will pave a great road to heaven for our Great Qin Dynasty a hundred years from now!"
"Soldiers!"
Ying Zheng's gaze swept over the thousand elite soldiers below who were about to set off for battle, and he let out a final roar!
"I have only one request for you!"
"Use your lives! To protect the safety of the Immortal Master!"
"I am in Xianyang! Awaiting your triumphant return!!!"
boom!!!
These words, like the strongest liquor, instantly ignited the passion in everyone's blood!
The thousand Qin warriors below suddenly raised their spears and halberds.
They used all their strength to unleash a deafening roar at the city wall!
"Wind! Wind! Wind!!!"
"Strong wind!!!"
"I am willing to die for His Majesty! I am willing to die for the Immortal Master!!!"
As Zhang Fan watched this scene, he felt a surge of scalding heat instantly flow through his limbs and bones!
He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Ying Zheng on the city wall!
"Your Majesty! Your subject... will certainly not fail in his mission!"
That's all!
He turned around abruptly, mounted his horse, and waved his hand dramatically!
"Set off!!!"
……
at the same time!
Shanxi.
On the Loess Plateau, a huge modern coal mine lies prostrate on the ground like a steel behemoth.
"squeak--"
A black sedan with a special license plate ignored the "No Entry" sign at the entrance and slowly came to a stop.
The car door opens!
Several men dressed in black suits with cold expressions came down!
They looked at the dusty mine before them, and one of them spoke in a deep voice:
"Confirmed, this is indeed the core area of the ancient Shangdang Prefecture!"
"Let's go! Find the person in charge!"
Inside the factory manager's office.
A dark-skinned, honest-looking middle-aged man was frowning as he looked at a pile of reports.
He is Wang Jianguo, the manager of this private coal mine.
"Bang!"
The office door was suddenly pushed open!
Wang Jianguo suddenly looked up, about to explode!
But then he saw those imposing men in black walk straight up to him!
"Who are you people?!"
Without wasting any words, the leader of the men in black gently placed a document on his desk.
"Hello, Director Wang! This is the highest national security regulation!"
"From this moment forward, this mine is under our complete control!"
boom!!!
Wang Jianguo's mind went blank for a moment!
He stared at the bright red seal and the word "top secret" on the document, completely dumbfounded!
take over?
He took over the family business he had worked so hard to build up over most of his life.
however!
Just three seconds later!
The shock on his face vanished instantly!
Instead, there was a kind of humility that was almost pleading!
He stood up abruptly, his hands trembling, his voice trembling with a hint of tears!
"Comrade! I have only one request!"
"The mine! Take it all! I, Wang Jianguo, don't want a single penny!"
"But! These hundreds of workers in the mine all have families to support! Will their wages... be paid on time?"
"If the country needs it... I... I still have some money in my account! I'll pay for it! I'll make up for it!"
