Wind! Wind! Great Wind!

The lively atmosphere in the small courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Qing Nü's cheeks, chewing meat, stopped. (She) raised (her) eyes to look at the Black Armored Qin Army at the door. After a moment of silence, (she) put down (her) chopsticks and walked over.

Seeing Qing Nü approach, the Qin soldier wanted to speak, but was grabbed by the armor by Qing Nü and dragged outside.

No matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free.

"Hey... Qing Nü Brother!"

Liu Ji's expression was startled at the sight.

This was a Qin soldier!

"Get married, don't worry about it."

Qing Nü threw down this sentence and went out the courtyard gate, leaving behind a silent courtyard of people looking at each other, at a loss.

Only Liu Ji reacted quickly. With a wave of his hand, he called out, "Eat, drink everyone! To tell you the truth, my Qing Nü Brother is an Immortal Aunt, very capable! Don't worry, she'll handle this, no need to fret."

Although he said that, he still followed out after comforting everyone.

He saw Qing Nü holding the Qin soldier under a tree and said to him, "If you dare to disturb this family, I'll make you like this tree!"

As she spoke, she punched and broke the tree.

This was a large tree that required two people to embrace to surround, and she broke it with one punch?

Liu Ji, watching from the doorway, took a deep breath and retreated back into the courtyard.

Mama Ya!

It was a good thing he hadn't offended Qing Nü much before.

"Hey, Liu Ji, didn't you go out to check the situation?"

In the courtyard, Xiao He saw Liu Ji return and glanced at the door outside with confusion. "That's a Qin soldier outside, can that person really handle it? Should I go out and take a look?"

After all, he was the chief clerk of Pei County. In this situation, it was his place to go out and see.

Liu Ji pushed Xiao He away and said, "Oh, Lord Xiao, don't worry, with my Qing Nü Brother here, it's fine."

"This Guy..."

Xiao He looked at Liu Ji's smiling face with a helpless expression.

He couldn't persuade Liu Ji, so he had to stay.

Outside, the Qin soldier had already been convinced by the sincerity of Qing Nü's punch.

After seeing him off, Verdant Green Maiden stood in place, silent for a long time. In the courtyard, sounds of merriment gradually rose again. Verdant Green Maiden looked up at the setting sun. In the distance, on the horizon, flocks of birds gathered and dispersed.

Kunpeng, Kunpeng! The Kun, a multitude of fish; the Peng, the flourishing of wings! The birds flying together under the setting sun, gathering like a great Peng.

After the Qin Army departed, Verdant Green Maiden disappeared.

Later, no matter where Liu Ji went, he couldn't find her. Although Liu Ji believed that as an Immortal Aunt, Verdant Green Maiden would be fine, this matter was her stepping forward for him, so he couldn't ignore it!

Therefore, Liu Ji mobilized everyone he could speak to to inquire about her whereabouts.

On the Chidao heading towards Xianyang, a woman walked with light steps, covering a thousand li in a day. In just a few days, she entered Hangu Pass and arrived at Xianyang City.

Inside Xianyang City, the entire city was in mourning.

Verdant Green Maiden, familiar with the way, came to the Qin Palace and entered the hall. However, on the seat belonging to the Emperor, kneeling was no longer Ying Zheng, but Fusu, whose face was full of heroic spirit yet couldn't hide his sorrow.

"He's dead?"

Verdant Green Maiden asked.

Fusu's gaze turned cold. He looked up and, upon seeing it was Verdant Green Maiden, he froze on the spot.

"Master..."

At this moment, Verdant Green Maiden also saw Fusu's appearance.

He was haggard, his eyes bloodshot.

Verdant Green Maiden repeated her question, "Is he really dead?"

Fusu's expression was grief-stricken. He took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said, "I dare not deceive Master. Father Emperor has indeed passed away. In a few days, his coffin will be sent to the Mount Li Imperial Mausoleum."

"How is that possible..."

Bewilderment flickered in Verdant Green Maiden's eyes. She took a few steps forward, staring intently at Fusu, and asked, "He didn't take any medicine, his body was strong! I've only been away from Xianyang for two years, how could he have died? How could he die!"

"Fusu, what exactly happened?"

Fusu answered Verdant Green Maiden's question truthfully.

After she left, Ying Zheng's health suddenly declined. Even the Imperial Physicians couldn't find the problem. After two years of struggling, medicine was of no avail.

After hearing this, Verdant Green Maiden fell silent for a long time.

The procession escorting the coffin departed from the palace, heading towards the Mount Li Imperial Mausoleum. The Great Qin Black Armored Army maintained a solemn formation, their long banners fluttering.

The procession, like a black snake, stretched for more than ten li.

Verdant Green Maiden gently raised her right hand, her fingers moving slightly.

In the sky, Hong Luan flapped its wings and soared high, its clear cries echoing through Heaven and Earth.

On the Xianyang Plain.

Mount Li Imperial Mausoleum.

The magnificent Terracotta Army formation stretched as far as the eye could see. The black and red paint on the Qin Army's armor gave these inanimate objects the oppressive aura of living soldiers!

Qin Swords, Crossbow Beds, Weapons, and War Chariots!

The items held by the Terracotta Army to be buried here alone could arm a terrifying army!

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

"Great Wind!!"

The living Qin Army launched one last charge for their deceased ruler! The Qin Army troops drawn from the Lantian Great Camp were the elite of the elite. Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers raised their weapons, and the Banners Fluttered with a rustling sound!

"Dong--!!"

"Dong--!!"

"Dong--!!"

The Bell Drum sounded.

This was a Ceremony grander than the Coronation Ceremony.

Watching the Qin Army escort Ying Zheng's coffin into the First Emperor's Mausoleum, Afang, holding a Silk Book, approached Qing Nü. She knelt on the ground and offered the Silk Book.

"Master! This is from Your Majesty for you."

Qing Nü was stunned. She took the Silk Book from Afang's hand.

On the Silk Book were Ying Zheng's parting words to her, not many, only one sentence.

"Master, Master, live well."

Qing Nü froze for a moment, then turned to look at the coffin being escorted into the Imperial Mausoleum. She suddenly tore the Silk Book to shreds, looked up at the sky, her Vertical Pupils fierce, and gritted her teeth, "You did this!"

Damn Heaven!

Ying Zheng was in good health, yet he declined rapidly after she left, perishing in just two years. Ji Fa didn't die that fast!

This was something only Heaven could do!

What kind of Fate was this? This was cheating!

From the sealing of the underground palace to their return to the Qin Palace, Qing Nü remained silent, not saying another word. The people in the Qin Palace had already been thoroughly purged by Afang, and no one knew Qing Nü.

Qing Nü warned Fusu in the hall.

"Fusu, remember! For the continuation of the Emperor's tomb, you are not allowed to conscript laborers from all over the land. Have Li Si revise the Qin Law, relax the penalties, issue a General Amnesty, and Renew with the People. Do you understand?"

If fate truly couldn't be changed, she would have accepted it.

But she had clearly plucked the strings, yet Heaven's Will still forcibly pulled her into the predetermined ending!

Damn Heaven, she was determined to go against it!

Qing Nü refused to bow to Heaven!

This was the first time Fusu had seen such a stern Qing Nü.

"Master... Zhen... understands!"

Qing Nü narrowed her eyes, looked at him for a good while, then raised her hand and waved, saying, "Hong Luan, let's go!"

Hong Luan flapped its wings and flew to Qing Nü's shoulder.

One snake and one bird left the Qin Palace and headed for Pei County.

But as she rushed back to Pei County, she saw Liu Ji and Xiao He lightly counting the laborers of Pei County, preparing to depart for Mount Li to construct the Emperor's tomb.

"Stop!"

Qing Nü roared.

"Qing Nü Brother (she), you're back...?"

Liu Ji ran towards her upon seeing Qing Nü, but gradually stopped as he saw her angry expression. He chuckled awkwardly and asked, "Why are you so angry? Who provoked you? Tell your brother, and I'll go beat him up for you!"
