You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 74 Simplified Formation

These two individuals were Yuan Tiangang and Cao Zhengchun, two exceptional talents.

Yuan Tiangang, dressed in a black Taoist robe, exuded an air of otherworldly wisdom and appeared to be a highly accomplished Taoist master.

Cao Zhengchun, on the other hand, was fair-skinned and beardless, exuding a feminine aura. His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes flashed with a sinister light, making him look like a ruthless character.

"Cao Zhengchun, from now on you will be my personal eunuch!"

Ying Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun and spoke.

Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, a hint of joy flashed across Cao Zhengchun's face, and he quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes, sir!"

Ying Chen nodded in agreement, then looked at Yuan Tiangang beside him and said, "Minister Yuan, I intend to establish the Imperial Observatory, and you will be in charge of all matters concerning the Imperial Observatory, specifically responsible for my predictions of good and bad fortune, as well as the arrangement of formations. Your official title will be Director of the Imperial Observatory, a first-rank official!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

Yuan Tiangang's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke with a faint smile.

"Ok!"

Ying Chen took out the array diagram of the Xuanwu Protector Array from the system space and handed it to Yuan Tiangang.

He said, "This is the diagram of an Emperor-level formation. Minister Yuan, please take a look. Is it easy to set up? Can it be implemented throughout the entire Qin Dynasty?"

Yuan Tiangang took the array diagram and examined it carefully.

At first, his expression was normal, without any change, but the further down he looked, the deeper his brows furrowed.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Tiangang closed the array diagram in his hand, looked up at Ying Chen, and said, "Your Majesty, this great array is of extremely high grade. With my current cultivation level, I am not yet able to set it up. Moreover, the materials needed to make the array are extremely precious. With the current strength of Great Qin, we are not yet able to collect them all, let alone distribute them throughout Great Qin..."

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Ying Chen felt slightly disappointed, but he quickly recovered.

This is, after all, a super defensive array capable of blocking any attack below the level of a fairy realm.

If it were easy to set up, it would be too ordinary.

"but......"

Just when Ying Chen had given up all hope, Yuan Tiangang spoke up again.

"But what?"

Ying Chen asked impatiently.

"However, I can simplify it by lowering its grade and replacing the precious materials with more common ones, thus creating a simplified version of the grand formation!"

"However, in this case, the power of the grand formation will be greatly reduced, and it can only withstand attacks from those below the Tribulation Transcending stage, which is completely inferior to the complete grand formation!"

Yuan Tiangang spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ying Chen's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's enough, absolutely enough..."

There are no cultivators above the Tribulation Transcending stage in the entire Xuanxing Domain, so this simplified version of the grand formation is perfectly sufficient.

"The resources in the national treasury are at your disposal; I will have all the officials cooperate with you..."

Ying Chen excitedly said to Yuan Tiangang.

"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious!"

Yuan Tiangang said calmly.

"Even if the formation is simplified, the materials for setting it up are not readily available. With the current resources of the Qin Dynasty, we can probably only make a few sets!"

Ying Chen's excited expression subsided.

Indeed, even the simplified grand formation is still of a high grade and cannot be set up so easily.

"Then let's set up the key towns of Qin first, and we can deal with the rest of the cities when we have collected enough materials!"

Ying Chen gave the order.

"Here!"

Yuan Tiangang said respectfully.

Afterwards, Yuan Tiangang went to the national treasury to check how much material was available.

Cao Zhengchun then stayed by Ying Chen's side, ready to serve at any time.

..................

Prince Wei's Mansion.

After Ying Chen ascended the throne, the former crown prince Ying Xiao was enfeoffed as the Prince of Wei and moved into the Prince of Wei's residence.

At this moment, in a secret room in the Prince of Wei's residence.

A candle was lit in the sealed room, emitting a faint light.

Ying Xiao sat on the futon with his eyes closed, seemingly waiting for someone.

Tapping.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Two men in black walked in from outside, one after the other.

Hearing the sound, Ying Xiao opened his eyes.

The two men in black removed their cloaks, revealing their faces.

It was the fourth prince and the fifth prince.

"Big brother!"

Ying Feng said to Ying Xiao.

Ying Xiao nodded, then looked at Ying Heng.

A strange expression appeared on his face.

"You're still here!"

Ying Xiao said with a smile.

"Hmph! So what if I'm here? If someone hadn't repeatedly sent people to invite me, I wouldn't have bothered coming here at all!"

Ying Huan turned his head to the side, avoiding looking at Ying Xiao's face, and spoke.

Like Ying Xiao, he was enfeoffed as the King of Qi.

During this time, Ying Xiao had been sending people to find him, but he had previously suspected that Ying Chen would not let them off so easily, so he had not agreed.

"Haha! Anyway, it's good that you're here!"

Ying Xiao laughed loudly and said.

"Speak! What do you want from me all this time? Don't tell me you want to rebel against Ying Chen. You know that's just wishful thinking!"

Ying Luo said dismissively.

Upon hearing Ying Huan's words, Ying Xiao's smile froze, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Don't rush to refuse. I'll let you see someone first, then you can make your decision!"

Ying Xiao reassured him.

Snap snap~~

Then he clapped his hands.

Boom~~

Suddenly, a crack appeared in one of the walls of the secret room, and a masked person walked out.

"This is?"

Ying Heng immediately became alert, sensing a powerful aura emanating from the man, which made him feel threatened with death.

"Fourth brother, don't get agitated, Mr. Ying won't harm you..."

Seeing Ying Heng's embarrassed state, Ying Xiao's eyes flashed with a smile, but he still spoke up.
