Qin Shi Huang realized that he had not long to live, that the country that he had risked his life to conquer could not be under his control forever, and that the super weapons and pills he ordered invented in secret would fall into the hands of others after he died. In order to monopolize these technologies, he silenced everyone who were involved in the research by death, and at the same time compiled the production steps as well as their blueprints into a book, naming it “Secrets of Emperor Qin.”One day, Qin Shi Huang brought his guard-in-waiting to go supervise the completion of his own mausoleum. The newly built underground tomb was majestic, filled with bright-colored terracottas of varied height as well as all sorts of weapons, bronze horses and carriages.Observing his underground palace from a high ground, Qin Shi Huang told his guard. “I have thought it through and finally understood. True immortality only starts after mortal death. Here in this underground nati

Drawing close to Murong Zhining, Gao Chenghao closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath with an intoxicated expression. “I admire your courage, Princess. Only you would dare to stand here before me all alone and talk about conditions. Return with me first and I’ll release her.”Gao Chenghao lifted Murong Zhining onto the horse and sat behind her before riding off towards the northern suburbs where another estate of his was located. Far behind, Chiyun Yuexuan followed them in night-walking outfit.…Tuoba Lan was emotional as she hugged Murong Zhining. “Big Sis how can you be so foolish? Even if I die, I don’t want to see you be put at risk because of me.”Murong Zhining turned to look at Gao Chenghao. “I’m now under your control. Please let Miss Tuoba go.”Gao Chenghao chuckled. “Naïve! How can I get you to listen if I let her go? Please first take a bath, Princess. We need an examination.”Murong Zhining glared at Gao Chenghao in rage. “Fourth Pr

Three days later, the group arrived at the outskirts of Shunyi County where they settled into a tea manor owned by the Tuoba family.Because Gao Chenghao had delivered the antidote on schedule every day, Tuoba Lan’s condition improved and the snake marks on her body had gradually faded.As soon as she was sober, the girl urgently inquired about Murong Zhining’s situation, “How is Princess? If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have fallen into the hands of that thief Gao Chenghao. He didn’t bully her, did he?”Chiyun Yuexuan comforted her, “First, take good care of yourself and don’t worry. Gao Chenghao only wants that book in the treasure hoard, he won’t dare to cause trouble for Princess. Not to mention, the poison I gave him won’t allow him to act impudently.”In the tea garden, everyone was splitting up to search for clues. Chiyun Yuexuan discovered something at a huge pond on the east side of the garden.He called everybody over, “This must be the cen

After a brief exchange of glances, Tuoba Zhi tacitly understood Chiyun Yuexuan’s idea. It was then that Chiyun Yuexuan took out a paper sheet from his chest and began to discuss with Tuoba Zhi. The left side of the paper recorded the music score with 12 zodiac signs translated from Xianbei’s language, and on the right side were the 12 divinatory symbols hidden in Biwu.Gao Chenghao went over and glanced at the paper. “You guys use my dictionary to decipher the Xianbei characters on the score? The left pillars are simple, just step on the in the order of the 12 animals on the score. As for these 12 hexagrams, I have no idea where you even got them from.”Chiyun Yuexuan gave him a provoking glare. “None of your business where we got them from. I wonder if Fourth Prince has the courage to play stepping on these pillars with me? We each take a side, do you dare? After all, you have to take risks if you want to enter.”Murong Zhining tugged on Gao Chenghao’s clothes and

Chiyun Yuexuan burst out laughing. “Peepee… Hahahaha that’s adorable hahaha…” He carried her off the carriage and placed her into a bush on the roadside, then returned to the road and stood with his back to her.Murong Zhining yelled with discontent, “What can I do with my hands tied?!”Chiyun Yuexuan walked back. Untying the rope, he warned, “If you dare to run, I’ll kill your foster mother’s family.”Murong Zhining said innocently, “So I have a foster mother, that’s great. If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t know.”Chiyun Yuexuan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. All of the advantages he had to threaten her with had become useless.While Chiyun Yuexuan walked away with his back facing her, Murong Zhining bent down and untied the rope binding her feet. Around Chiyun Yuexuan, she always felt uneasy and her head was full of the thought to escape. Although she didn’t know where she could run off to, escaping him was her most instinctive idea.Ch
