This person was none other than the only emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng.
After reading the last page, Ying Zheng put down the book in his hand.
"How's the investigation into the road issue going?"
"Your Majesty, apart from the Qin Kingdom, there are traces of roads connecting the entire Kyushu continent."
"Based on speculation, the origin of the road should be the Ming Dynasty."
"Speculation?"
"They've already sent a delegation here. Are you going to wait until they take my head before you find out who's behind this!"
Ying Zheng was furious, and all the civil and military officials immediately knelt down.
After calming his anger, Ying Zheng said, "Summon the Ming delegation to pay homage!"
"I want to see what this Sword Immortal Ping An has to say to me."
After a while, Wang Wu and the others were brought up.
"Your humble servants pay their respects to the Emperor Qin!"
"No need for formalities. Your Majesty has traveled thousands of miles to send a letter of state to Great Qin. You are very kind."
"In that case, you may read aloud the official letter sent by Emperor Ming."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wu's lips twitched, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty once said that Your Majesty should read Mr. Li's letter first."
"Oh?"
"The Mr. Li you mentioned, is he Li Chengqian from the Ping An Inn?"
"Yes!"
"Since it's Emperor Ming's instruction, then you should read Li Chengqian's letter first!"
""
Why don't you read it yourself, or find someone else to read it to you?
Why do I have to read it? If I read Mr. Li's letter, it would kill me.
Although Wang Wu was very unwilling, he still obediently took out Li Chengqian's letter.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Wang Wu was all too familiar with it, because he had written this letter on behalf of Mr. Li.
At this moment, Wang Wu's heart rate had soared to 200. Although he was terrified, he had no choice but to act.
Wang Wu finally mustered the courage to read Li Chengqian's letter aloud.
"Brother Zheng, I'm hosting an event here."
Wang Wu read Li Chengqian's letter in a voice as loud as a broken gong, and the entire Qin Dynasty was stunned.
Because for a moment everyone was still trying to figure out who "Brother Zheng" in the letter was.
Li Chengqian's letter was very short, only about a hundred words in total.
After reading it aloud, Wang Wu quickly took out a small box from his pocket and the token given to him by Li Chengqian, saying, "In addition, Mr. Li has another gift to offer."

quiet!
Quiet!
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence. Looking across the entire Nine Provinces, who would dare to address the Qin Emperor in such a way?
Based on this title alone, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the Qin Dynasty to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Although the civil and military officials in the court had a lot to say, they all kept their words to themselves because the one on the dragon throne had not yet expressed his opinion.
Tatata!
Ying Zheng's fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest; he seemed to be deep in thought.
After a while, Ying Zheng said calmly, "Bring it here!"
Upon receiving the order, the eunuch immediately took the item from Wang Wu's hand and carefully examined it.
Only then did they present the box and token to Ying Zheng.
Looking at the two glowing red fruits in the box, Ying Zheng casually asked, "What are these?"
"Your Majesty, this thing is called Blood Bodhi, a sacred medicine for healing. It can only grow by being watered with the blood of a Qilin."
Upon hearing the words "Qilin Blood," Ying Zheng's half-closed eyes suddenly snapped open.
"You mean the mythical beast Qilin?"
"Yes."
"However, one of these two Blood Bodhi stones is for Miss Duanmu of the Great Qin Dynasty, who is seriously injured."
"The distance between the Great Qin and the Great Ming is far. Without the help of the Blood Bodhi, Miss Duanmu may not be able to hold on."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng felt his anger burning.
Given my status, you only gave me two.
Sending two would only cost 343, but one of them is someone else's. Do you really think I can't deal with you just because you're in the Ming Dynasty?
Although his anger was burning fiercely, Ying Zheng remained calm on the surface and said, "Interesting."
"Didn't Emperor Ming also write a letter?"
"Let's read them all at once!"
Wang Wu calmly pulled out another letter and began to read it aloud.
Although the contents of this letter are also quite "outrageous", is there any difference between dying once and dying twice?
Wang Wu was already numb.
"Brother Zheng, I'll eat the Blood Bodhi too!"
"This blood bodhi seed was watered with the blood of a qilin (a mythical creature)."
A teasing tone echoed in the hall, but Ying Zheng remained calm and composed, while the officials in the court were secretly plotting something.
His Majesty is likely to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty soon. This matter is quite troublesome, and we need to make proper preparations.
After the last word was pronounced, Wang Wu stood quietly in place, awaiting his fate.
Wang Wu: Father! Mother! Your son can no longer fulfill his filial duties to you!
Ying Zheng picked up the blood bodhi from the box, examined it carefully, and then quickly threw it into his mouth.
This action startled the people around.
The origin of this stuff is unknown; if it's poisonous, we're doomed.
Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop everyone from stepping forward, then closed his eyes to savor the taste in his mouth.
A moment later, Ying Zheng felt an unprecedented sense of ease in his body.
Opening his eyes, Ying Zheng smiled and stood up, saying...
"Go back and tell Emperor Ming that the strength of the Qin Dynasty's experts ranks first among the six great dynasties."
"The same is true for the emperor of Qin."
"The Qin Dynasty will participate in the Ping An Inn's activities as scheduled. Although the Ming Dynasty has a Sword God, the Qin Dynasty also has a Sword Saint."
"Then let the world see whether the Sword Saint of Qin is stronger or the Sword God of Ming is superior!"
Having completed their mission, Wang Wu and the others bowed and withdrew from the main hall.
Upon hearing Wang Wu's voice, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes.
Because he saw two people in Wang Wu's back.
One was Emperor Ming, and the other was Li Chengqian.
These two set themselves a small test; they were watching to see just how much magnanimity and courage the Emperor of Qin truly possessed.
If one becomes enraged because of some words, or dares not eat the Blood Bodhi.
In comparison, the Qin Dynasty was at a disadvantage in terms of both grandeur and courage.
This is something Ying Zheng would absolutely not allow.
Ying Zheng smiled as he picked up the wooden plaque in front of him.
"Brother Zheng."
"Ah!"
"A very interesting name."
"Moon Goddess, deliver this Blood Bodhi to Gai Nie. Also..."
The coast of Daming.
"Phew! We've finally arrived. I'm exhausted from walking all this way."
Li Chengqian complained lazily, in response to such words,
The only response from everyone was a big eye roll.
Since the battle in the desert, Li Chengqian's travel speed has become incredibly slow, compared to his original pace.
Everyone should have arrived two months ago, but it has been delayed until now.
To quote Li Chengqian, it was something like this.
"We only drink Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. If we go so early, the porridge may not be ready yet."
Just as everyone was complaining about Li Chengqian's lax attitude, a voice came over.
"Mr. Li, why are you taking so long to arrive!"
"We've been waiting for you for so long."
Hearing the call, Li Chengqian turned around and saw that the person who came was Lu Xiaofeng.
