To the First Emperor of Qin: The state has decreed this!

Chapter 194 But even heroes have struggled to resist the allure of beautiful women...

Zhu Feng's expression instantly turned extremely serious; he immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

"Such large-scale abnormal surface changes would be impossible to miss under satellite monitoring from any country!"

"This will reveal our coordinates!"

He made a decisive decision.

"Immediately activate 'Sky Curtain' to jam signals and provide optical camouflage in this area!"

"Adjust all publicly available satellite imagery data to cover this area with historical data!"

"We must not allow any hostile forces to detect this anomaly!"

"yes!"

At his command, everyone immediately sprang into action.

……

Within Changzi County.

As night slowly fell.

Zhang Fan finally dragged his exhausted body back to his residence.

From the blissful night last night to the dramatic turn of events at the mine during the day, and then to the tedious safety checks and data surveys in the afternoon.

I'm about to become useless!

Pure cows and horses!

wrong!

It should be called a nuclear-powered donkey!

Upon entering the courtyard, I saw two equally disheveled figures.

Fusu and Mofeng were slumped on the stone steps in the courtyard, completely lacking any decorum.

Fusu's face was still smeared with black, and his brocade robes were wrinkled.

Mo Feng simply lay down on the ground, gazing at the stars in the sky, not wanting to move a single finger.

They spent the entire day assisting Zhang Fan in pacifying thousands of laborers and directing operations; their voices became hoarse and their legs gave way.

"Teacher...you're finally back..."

Fusu weakly raised his hand.

"I've never been this tired in my entire life..."

Zhang Fan gave a wry smile and sat down with a thud, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

Just then, Luo Ying and Luo Li, the two sisters, quickly came out carrying hot water and a food box.

Seeing Zhang Fan like this, their eyes were filled with heartache!

"Young Master, Young Master Fusu, Mr. Mofeng, quickly wipe your face, dinner is ready."

Luo Ying handed over the hot towel.

A warm towel on my face chased away all my fatigue.

Zhang Fan let out a long sigh of relief. Looking at the rising steam and the sisters' concerned eyes, the tension that had been building up all day finally eased.

No matter how much wind and rain there is outside!

At least here, there is a lamp and a bowl of rice waiting for him.

Dinner was very plentiful, consisting of hearty dishes that replenish energy.

The three of them, having been hungry all day, disregarded all decorum and devoured the food like a whirlwind.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food!

Having recovered, Mo Feng took a big gulp of wine, wiped his mouth, and suddenly suggested with great enthusiasm:

"Hey, Immortal Master, Brother Fusu, we're exhausted today, shouldn't we relax tonight?"

"The wine at Ji Honglou is quite good, how about... we go and have some fun?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "smack" resounded as he received a solid blow to the back of the head.

Zhang Fan withdrew his hand and glared at him.

"Ouch!"

Mo Feng covered his head, looking aggrieved.

"Master, why did you hit me?"

"I just thought everyone looked too tired, so I suggested we take a break!"

Fusu also looked over curiously.

Zhang Fan put down his chopsticks, his expression turning somewhat awkward.

He didn't mention Mi Yueyao and the remnants of Chu. The fewer people who knew about this, the better. He didn't want to involve Fusu and Mofeng.

He merely feigned a deep voice and said:

"From now on, try your best to avoid going to Ji Honglou."

Why?

Mo Feng asked, puzzled, "It looks quite lively over there, not like some kind of den of thieves or tigers."

"There's a problem there."

Zhang Fan's tone left no room for argument.

"There's a big problem. It's not something we should get involved in; going there would only cause us enormous trouble!"

He looked at Mo Feng and Fu Su, emphasizing each word clearly:

"Remember my words, this is not a joke!"

"For your own good, and for my own good, stay away from that place."

Seeing Zhang Fan's serious expression, Mo Feng knew he wasn't joking.

Although he's usually a bit dim-witted, he can still distinguish between what's important and what's not when it matters.

He scratched his head, then nodded in agreement.

"Alright, since the Immortal Master has said so, there must be a reason behind it!"

"We'll go to another place next time!"

Fusu glanced at Zhang Fan thoughtfully.

He keenly sensed that the teacher had probably encountered some troublesome situation there.

But he wisely didn't ask any more questions, and simply kept the matter in mind.

……

Xianyang Imperial Palace.

Inside Zhangtai Palace, the lights were bright.

Ying Zheng, dressed in a black casual robe, sat alone behind a desk, holding a wax-coated secret letter that had just been delivered by the Black Ice Guard with an urgent courier service.

The contents of the letter were written by Yu Miaoyan herself.

He read it word by word, his deep eyes calm and unreadable, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

When I saw "Secretly meeting with Chu Nie Mi Yueyao!"

He gripped the bamboo slip with a slight force, his knuckles turning slightly white.

But as he continued reading...

When he saw that "he remained calm in the face of danger, resolved the crisis by using the method of 'two-way ventilation,' and spread the two methods of 'divine rats exploring the way' and 'sacred fire exorcising evil,' thus appeasing the people and winning the hearts of thousands of laborers," he was deeply moved.

His tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

In front of him, an official dressed in a black icebreaker uniform knelt on one knee with his head down, not daring to breathe.

The atmosphere inside Zhangtai Palace was so oppressive that he almost suffocated.

After a long while, he finally mustered up his courage and tentatively asked:

"Your Majesty... this matter is of utmost importance!"

"The Immortal Master... his secret dealings with the remnants of the Chu Kingdom are irrefutable evidence!"

"How about... I immediately lead men to Shangdang County and... arrest him?"

Ying Zheng slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the officials of the Black Ice Platform, his expression calm.

He shook his head, his voice deep and powerful:

"No……"

"Continue to protect the Immortal Master."

Ying Zheng paused, his tone becoming exceptionally solemn:

"Furthermore, this matter must not be known to any ministers in the court, including the Prime Minister and the highest-ranking officials!"

"The news must be strictly kept inside the Black Ice Platform."

"Here you go!"

The officials at the Black Ice Station were deeply shaken.

Although I don't understand why His Majesty made such a decision, I still accepted the order without hesitation.

After the Black Ice Terrace officials disappeared outside the palace gates, Ying Zheng was once again left alone in the empty hall.

He slowly put down the bamboo slip in his hand, stood up, and walked to the window.

Gazing at the bright moon in the sky, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

He muttered to himself,

"The remnants of Chu... are quite interesting, actually knowing how to use such methods to win over my immortal master."

"but……"

"Zhang Fan, my boy... I bestow upon you the title of Immortal Master and grant you supreme power, hoping that you can establish an unprecedented foundation for the Great Qin Dynasty."

"But the allure of a beautiful woman is something even heroes have always struggled to resist..."

"I'm genuinely a little worried you won't make it through!"
