After listening to Babudou's account, Fang Er felt a splitting headache!
This damned...
Qin Shi Huang seemed to have been drawn into internal strife within the Wanqu Realm!
Were there beastmen, humans, and possibly other races?
As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind must have different intentions.
It wasn't strange for conflicts to arise between various races within the Wanqu Realm.
He was somewhat curious about how large the Wanqu Realm was, and where it was located!
And what was the purpose of the humans from the Wanqu Realm coming to the Great Tang?
However, these questions could only be answered by finding Qin Shi Huang.
Perhaps, even he might not truly understand!
With this thought, his gaze shifted to Meng Tian.
"May I ask, General Meng, where is His Majesty the Emperor currently located?"
"I have some matters to discuss with him."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Meng Tian's face.
The combat power displayed by the Skyfire Army was too terrifying!
The beastmen who had inflicted heavy casualties on the Qin army were as fragile as targets in front of tanks.
This made him worried that Fang Er might do something detrimental to Qin Shi Huang.
He cupped his hands slightly and tentatively asked.
"Master Fang, may I ask what you wish to inquire about?"
Fang Er saw through his thoughts with a single glance and replied with a smile.
"Everything about the Wanqu Realm. Of course, if you provide me with an answer, I will gladly listen."
Meng Tian was speechless. He had already revealed everything he knew about the Wanqu Realm, and none of it was useful.
"To be frank, Master Fang, His Majesty led a forty-thousand-strong army south a few days ago."
"I am also unsure of his current whereabouts."
Fang Er did not show any disappointment. This piece of information was enough!
Given a few days, Qin Shi Huang and his army wouldn't have traveled too far.
The connection between Guanzhong and Chuan Shu was not yet smooth, making it unsuitable for large armies to traverse.
To find him, they only needed to follow the official roads.
As for the Qin imperial road, it was scheduled to begin construction next year according to historical records and had not yet started, so Fang Er hadn't seen even a hint of it.
Leaving Ma Chao behind to help Meng Tian eliminate the remaining beastmen, and after providing him with sufficient supplies, Fang Er and Xi Tong took the gold mining ship and flew south.
The Qin Dynasty environment was beautiful!
Unbelievably beautiful!
As far as the eye could see, there were lush, towering trees everywhere.
The sky was blue, without a cloud in sight.
The water was clear, and fish could be seen swimming.
Even the air carried a floral scent.
However, along the way, they rarely saw any villages or pedestrians.
Logically, the population of the early Qin Dynasty was several times that of the early Tang Dynasty, so this situation should not have occurred.
Yet, the reality they witnessed was completely different from the historical records.
The gold mining ship flew leisurely through the sky at a speed of six hundred kilometers per hour. After just an hour, they saw traces left by a large contingent of people.
The sides of the road were covered with excrement from humans, horses, donkeys, and mules, which was particularly strong when the wind blew.
Under normal circumstances, civilians would actively clean up the manure left behind by an army passing through, using it to fertilize fields as it was excellent material.
But now, it was piled up there, ignored by everyone.
Fang Er frowned and flew a little higher.
"They should be ahead!"
After flying for a while longer, they saw a vast army and laborers transporting supplies.
A large number of civilians were also swept up in the procession. This formation of soldiers and civilians stretched like a black dragon along the official road, seemingly endless.
The two accelerated their flight and soon found Qin Shi Huang's imperial entourage within the procession below.
In the center of the convoy, a burly man sat in a war chariot.
He wore a black robe with red trim, and the golden dragons embroidered on it reflected dazzling light under the sun.
The beads hanging from his crown jingled with the movement of the chariot, like a self-generated BGM.
At this moment, his guards had spotted Fang Er and them and reported to Qin Shi Huang with concern.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, something is approaching from the sky!"
The eternal emperor raised his head and looked in the direction the guard was pointing.
Two egg-like objects were circling above his army.
Having seen the massive spacecraft from the Wanqu Realm before, he did not show any surprise at these small gold mining ships.
"It's nothing!"
Qin Shi Huang waved his sleeve and said to the person beside him.
"Zhao Gao, prepare the crossbow!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Gao's voice was not sharp, and he had a small mustache below his nose.
It was clear that this fellow was not an eunuch!
He walked calmly behind Qin Shi Huang, where a finely crafted crossbow was mounted.
The crossbow's arm was nearly two meters long. With the help of others, Zhao Gao laboriously pulled back the string and loaded an arm-thick bolt.
"Your Majesty, the crossbow is ready!"
Qin Shi Huang walked over quickly and aimed the giant crossbow at Fang Er.
The giant crossbow had a wide range of elevation.
It could tilt upwards by seventy degrees!
And downwards by thirty degrees.
It could rotate freely 360 degrees horizontally!
The bolt gleamed with a piercing cold light, clearly not made of ordinary materials.
[Oh? He wants to shoot me? Who gave him the courage?]
Seeing Qin Shi Huang's actions, Xi Tong was amused.
The gold mining ship traced an arc in the air, turning sharply and charging towards Qin Shi Huang.
As she flew over Qin Shi Huang's head, she casually tossed out an egg.
"Whoosh..."
"Splat!"
Perhaps she missed, or perhaps it was intentional, but the egg did not hit Qin Shi Huang.
Instead, it made intimate contact with Zhao Gao's head.
Zhao Gao instinctively touched the top of his head, looked at the egg yolk in his hand, and was completely stunned.
What the hell!
Why did it hit me?!
Seeing this, Qin Shi Huang lowered the crossbow.
This person seemed to have no ill intentions?
Otherwise, why would he throw an egg?
If he had thrown an axe, would Zhao Gao still be alive?
He ignored Xi Tong and looked up at Fang Er.
"May I ask what brings the two of you here!"
Fang Er descended gracefully to the ground, disembarked from the gold mining ship, and bowed to Qin Shi Huang.
"My name is Fang Anzhi, and I pay my respects to His Majesty the First Emperor!"
"I apologize for this unsolicited visit, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"I have come to obtain some information about the Wanqu Realm from Your Majesty."
"By the way, the beastmen outside Luoyang and Xianyang have been eliminated by me. Your Majesty, please do not worry. General Meng Tian is well."
He stated his purpose directly, while also declaring his stance.
Qin Shi Huang frowned slightly. "So, you are not from the Wanqu Realm?"
Fang Er touched his nose and said calmly.
"To be frank, Your Majesty, I am from eight hundred years in the future! I am a descendant of the Old Qin people!"
His actual birthplace was Gaoling, so claiming to be a descendant of the Old Qin people was not wrong in any way.
