The moment Zhou Wu saw Qin Heng, he knelt down with a "plop", and hit his head heavily on the smooth ground of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Criminal Zhou Wu, see Your Majesty!"
Behind him, everyone in the Zhou family, including the old lady, knelt down.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Get up!"
Qin Heng turned around and glanced at Zhou Wu, who was weak and pale.
"Zhou Wu, tell me!"
"What happened to the death of the first emperor?"
Zhou Wu stood up with some difficulty, and was silent for a while facing Qin Heng's question.
"Your Majesty also knows that my minister and your Majesty's ancestor emperor looked at each other and supported each other. I helped him ascend to the throne of God, and the ancestor emperor granted me the position of Taiwei."
"Weichen is naturally grateful to the heart, and he is loyal to Daqin and has no second heart."
"However, three years ago, Zhou Hong, a boy of humble minister, was attacked by a group of mysterious people when he was fighting with the barbarians, and almost died."
When he said this, Qin Heng interrupted suddenly.
"Do those people have the mark of the black lotus on their swords, and also have the mark of the black lotus on their bodies?"
Zhou Wu was startled slightly, then nodded.
"Your Majesty is right. These features all point to the late Emperor's Shadow Lotus Guard."
"But you can't just assume that these people are people sent by my father, can you?"
Qin Heng frowned.
"That's true. At the beginning, I didn't believe that the late emperor would take action against me, so I have been investigating secretly."
"But almost all the spearheads are directed at the first emperor."
"At that time, Wei Chen broke through to the human immortal not long ago, and the Zhou family was at its peak."
"My minister mistakenly thought that the late emperor wanted to deal with my Zhou family, and he was filled with grief and indignation, so..."
Zhou Wu couldn't continue talking at this point, and knelt down tremblingly again.
"Wei Chen is guilty!"
"So, you have already discovered the subsequent chaos in the palace, but you just stood by?"
Qin Heng's face was stern, and there was anger in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Everyone in the Zhou family knelt down on the ground in unison, fearful and sincere.
Zhou Wu's face remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty is right."
Qin Heng took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly.
"Tell me, what happened then?"
Zhou Wu was silent for a while, then shook his head.
"Recalling now, Weichen, the situation at that time was very strange."
"Many aristocratic families and even the core figures of the martial arts school were assassinated, and all the evidence points to the late emperor."
"So, the sudden death of my father was the result of the joint efforts of various forces?"
Qin Heng frowned, staring at Zhou Wu closely.
"That's true. After the incident, many forces united together. They agreed on a time, and then attacked the palace and killed the first emperor."
"The death of the emperor was not a trivial matter, so many forces joined forces to suppress the matter, and announced to the outside world that the late emperor died suddenly."
Qin Heng was speechless for a long time and fell into silence.
It never occurred to me that this was the case.
So many forces, even the entire empire are being manipulated in the hands of others.
Then, his heart moved and he remembered one thing.
"Could it be that when those forces were in trouble, my Daqin background, those individual immortals and strong men had disappeared?"
Qin Heng's eyes fell on Zhou Wu and asked.
Zhou Wu nodded: "That's right, it is precisely because they know that the human immortals in the Great Qin imperial family are missing, those forces have the courage to do these things."
"Do you know where the missing immortals are?"
Qin Heng asked with an attitude of giving it a try.
Zhou Wu shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, but then he seemed to remember something.
"Weichen seems to have never seen a royal immortal since the late emperor returned to the ancestral land to worship the ancestors five years ago."
"Your Majesty, if you have time, you might as well go to the Qin Kingdom to investigate."
Qin Heng was a little surprised.
"You mean, the royal immortal disappeared five years ago?"
Zhou Wu shook his head: "I can't be sure, after all, the immortals come and go without a trace, and it's normal for them to retreat for ten or eight years."
"Not long before the late emperor was killed, I could still sense the immortal aura in the palace."
"But with the death of the first emperor, the immortal aura in the palace also dissipated."
He understood Zhou Wu's meaning, and it was very likely that the immortal and strong man of the royal family had disappeared.
In order to deter domestic forces, his father used some method to imitate the aura of immortality.
In this way, he continued to stay on the throne for a period of time.
Qin Heng nodded, and suddenly changed the topic.
"Zhou Wu, I will intercede on your behalf, and I will not pursue your matter any longer."
"But capital crimes can be avoided, and life crimes cannot be escaped, so I will degrade you as a captain and demote you to a commoner.
"As well as everyone in your Zhou family, it is not suitable to continue to lead the army now, so go back to your Zhou mansion and wait for my call!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"
Zhou Wu and the others suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little grateful to Qin Heng in their hearts.
If you make such a big mistake, you are lucky to be alive.
At this time, who would dare to ask for any extravagant rights?
Chapter 114 Great Qin Ancestral Land
After the Zhou family left.
After thinking about it, Qin Heng thought that he should go to the ancestral land.
Not only do they want to investigate the disappearance of the strong man, but also because the ancestral land is one of the royal heritage.
Moreover, all the ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty were buried in the ancestral land.
As the Great Qin Emperor, it is really unreasonable not to go there now that he has time.
The son of a daughter, don't sit in danger!
Just in case, before leaving, he still used his spiritual knowledge to send a sound transmission to Erlang God Yang Jian.
When Qin Heng stepped out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was already a towering figure in bright silver armor and holding a three-pointed two-edged knife outside the hall.
This person has celestial eyebrows, handsome appearance, majestic temperament, and the most important thing is that there is a strong black dog at his feet.
Impressively, it is Erlang God Yang Jian and his Xiaotian dog.
Seeing Qin Heng's figure, Yang Jian bowed slightly with a solemn expression.
"Yang Jian, see Your Majesty!"
The Xiaotian dog at the feet followed suit, squatting on the ground and bowing slightly, looking a little funny.
Qin Heng couldn't help but smiled faintly, and stretched out his hands to help.
"Zhenjun Erlang doesn't need to be too polite!"
After seeing Yang Jian standing up, Qin Heng looked up at the sky.
"Let's go!"
Done.
The figure soared into the air and went straight to the west of the palace.
Three feet behind him, Yang Jian followed closely behind him with Xiao Tiangou.
Not long after, they came to a mountain three thousand miles west of the imperial capital.
Looking around, I can see that the mountains are lush with greenery, and the flowers, plants and trees are particularly vigorous.
There are dotted buildings all over the entire mountain, and from time to time, a man and woman walk through it.
"Who is it, you are not allowed to trespass in the royal place!"
Before the two and a dog approached the mountain, there was a stern shout.
At the same time, more than a dozen beams of light shot up into the sky from the mountains, blocking Qin Heng not far away.
"Bold, who dares to stop your Majesty coming here!"
A cold light flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, and he stood in front of Qin Heng and shouted angrily.
Could it be that the shore of the land is the king's land, if he didn't know that this is Qin Hengzu's land, he would have already slashed across it.
Those who dare to offend the might of God will not regret their death!
How could the dozen or so strong men on the opposite side withstand Yang Jian's unintentional power, they couldn't help but retreat slightly.
Their eyes fell on Yang Jian one after another, and their eyes became serious all of a sudden.
Just when the two sides were at war with each other, it seemed that they were about to make a move in the next moment.
Qin Heng's voice sounded neither sad nor happy.
"Look at this, can you prove my identity?"
While speaking, he took out a golden token from his pocket and threw it to an old man in front of him.
The old man reached out to take it and looked down.
I saw that the whole token was integrated into one, and the whole body was made of an unknown metal material, and it was heavy to hold in the hand.
There is a huge Heng character on the front, with a slight white light blooming, and there is a traditional eleven on the back.
This token is Qin Heng's exclusive token when he was the prince. It can be said that it exists uniquely in the world and is enough to prove his identity.
Sure enough, the old man couldn't help showing a trace of horror on his face, and then held the token in both hands respectfully, and bowed to salute.
"Emperor Heng is here, we will be far behind to welcome you, and please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Behind the old man, a group of strong men were terrified.
"It's okay, after all, I have never been to the ancestral land of the Qin Clan before, so it's understandable for you not to know me."
Qin Heng waved his sleeves, not caring at all.
Great Qin has established the country for nearly ten thousand years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the blood of the royal family is all over the world.
And the place where the Great Qin Ancestral Vein is located has a medium-grade spiritual vein, which is abundant in spiritual energy.
Those who can stay in the ancestral bloodline are all those with outstanding talents selected from the various branches, branches, and direct lines of the royal bloodlines in the world.
After they are successful in cultivation, they will be sent to the imperial capital, or sit in the palace, or directly fill the Xuanniao army.
It's just a pity that the royal immortals and many strong men disappeared before, and even the entire black bird army disappeared.
