Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 786 Set the bait and head to Xianyang!

Even the ignorant Yi Xiaochuan at the beginning, who was able to escape from his hands repeatedly, was probably inseparable from some kind of mysterious luck or protective power bestowed by the stars!

More importantly, is Yi Xiaochuan's ultimate goal of maintaining the "historical track" and planning decades or even hundreds of years in advance also to protect or use the power of the star? All his actions seem to revolve around this stone.

"But..." Gao Yao's eyes suddenly darkened, and his excitement was interrupted by the cold reality. "The tiger-shaped jade pendant... is destroyed!" The key to the core of the underground palace had been crushed into powder by Gao Yao before. This means that the safest and most secret path to the Tianxing has been completely blocked! Conventional methods can no longer enter the forbidden place.

Use explosives strong enough to split the mountain and crack the rocks to forcibly blast open a passage! But as soon as this idea came up, Gao Yao himself rejected it. He knew the huge risks involved: "The structure of the Lishan underground palace is complicated. Once explosives are used, the slightest mistake will cause the sky to collapse and the ground to split, and the mountain to collapse! By then, not only will Tianxing be buried deep under billions of tons of rocks and never see the light of day, it may even detonate the unknown and destructive force inside Tianxing... everything will be destroyed!"

Gao Yao sat in the study of the Nanhai County mansion, his knuckles unconsciously tapping on the cold bronze table. Outside the window was the Nanhai County city that he had worked so hard to build but was now about to abandon. But his mind had already flown across thousands of mountains and rivers, landing on the underground palace of Mount Li that held the mystery of immortality, and on the meteorite that affected everyone's fate - the "Star".

"Tianxing..." He chewed the name in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a cold and sharp light. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, this mysterious opponent who was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, paid almost paranoid attention to Tianxing, which was itself a huge flaw, a fatal weakness that could be exploited. The more the opponent cared, the more Tianxing would become the most powerful bargaining chip in Gao Yao's hand, a sword hanging over the head of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan.

The real killer move is not the star itself. Gao Yao's mouth curled up into a sinister smile. He remembered the "tiger-shaped jade pendant" that he had destroyed, which once symbolized a certain fate and was regarded as a key token by the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan.

The process was extremely difficult, and Gao Yao wasted a long time before he could completely destroy the tiger-shaped jade pendant. However, this just proved the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's belief in this thing - he must have believed that this thing was indestructible, and this could become the best bait for fishing.

"He doesn't know..." Gao Yao's voice was filled with the pleasure of controlling a secret, "Mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, he has no idea that the tiger-shaped jade pendant has turned to ashes! This is my trump card, my information gap!"

This information gap is the lever to pry the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's action. Gao Yao's plan is already clear: he wants to take the initiative to expose the fact that "Tianxing is under his control"! He wants to let the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan know that he, Gao Yao, is about to step into the underground palace of Mount Li!

"Xianyang, it's my Xianyang now!" Gao Yao's eyes suddenly became sharp. This is his greatest geographical advantage. Controlling Xianyang is equivalent to controlling the door to the underground palace. As long as he spreads the word and makes a big gesture to prepare to enter the underground palace, with the character of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, he would never dare to gamble! He dare not bet whether Gao Yao will really be crazy and destroy the hope of immortality by means he can't imagine. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan will definitely be attracted to Mount Li like a moth to a flame!

"Make him anxious, make him confused, and force him to come!" Gao Yao made up his mind. He needed the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan to leave the current territory and be firmly nailed to the pre-set battlefield of Mount Li. There, Gao Yao could take advantage of the time, the place, and even the "people" - the numerous traps and ambushes he had already laid.

"Someone come!" Gao Yao shouted in a deep voice. The leader of the Qingyi Society, who he trusted, came in and stood solemnly with his hands hanging down.

"Order: Order the best troops of the Qingyi Society to go out, and you will lead them personally. Also order Erniu to select 50,000 elite soldiers, and immediately move camp and march day and night. The target is - Mount Li! Announce to the public... Just say that you are following the imperial order to eliminate the bandits around Mount Li and clean up the perimeter of the underground palace, in preparation for becoming king... Well, to prepare for the 'relocation of the capital'."

Gao Yao deliberately emphasized the word "relocation of the capital". The more he emphasized a seemingly reasonable but far-fetched reason, the more the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan could sense the real purpose hidden in it - the underground palace! The more "cautious" he was in sending out heavy troops, the more it seemed that Gao Yao was determined to do something about Mount Li, and the easier it was for the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan to believe that he was going to attack Tianxing, and thus fall into the trap and come.

"Yes!" The leader of the Qingyi Society accepted the order, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he quickly withdrew to make arrangements.

After handling this crucial step, Gao Yao took a deep breath. The chess game in Lishan had already laid out the bait, but in Xianyang, there was a bigger and more complicated chess game to play - moving the capital.

Prince Gao, the symbol of the First Emperor's bloodline, is the key to his blackmailing the emperor to control the princes. He is also the biggest variable of this trip and the target that needs to be protected. Moving the capital is no joke.

Although Gongzi Gao was destined to die, he had to die for a good cause and could not die casually. He had to die at least after fully playing his role, and could not just die like that.

Officials at all levels in Nanhai County, their families, servants, doctors in charge of documents and classics, eunuchs and maids in the palace, craftsmen and servants in charge of logistics... In total, not counting the huge escort army, the core migration population is close to 15,000 people. This team, like a bloated and fragile dragon, meanders on the road to the heart of the southern border of the empire, with its goal directly at Xianyang.

Seven days later, outside the city of Nanhai County.

The huge team slowly started under the rising sun, and the dust raised seemed to cover the sky with a layer of yellow gauze. At the front of the team, the elite Qin army with bright armor and swords and spears led the way, and the sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the early morning. Following closely behind was the symbol of imperial majesty and the canopy of honor. Prince Gao's carriage was closely guarded in the center, like a moving fortress.

Further back, there was an endless stream of carriages and people. Officials' carriages, ox carts loaded with private property, servants following on foot, logistical teams responsible for documents and baggage... The sounds of people, horses, and wheels intertwined together, forming a dull and majestic wave of sound, rolling towards the north. On both sides of the road, the silent people of Nanhai County looked at this huge team that took away their "parents" and the center of the court with complicated eyes.
