Chapter 9 Could he really be a time traveler?
The video footage showed an accurate map of the Qin Dynasty's territory and a reconstruction of the Xianyang Palace.
There are also comparative explanations of Qin Dynasty writing and weights and measures. Every picture and every explanation accurately touched the hearts of Ying Zheng and his officials!
Ying Zheng stared intently at the phone screen, listening to the clear human voices inside and looking at the unheard-of yet incredibly accurate content related to the Qin Dynasty.
He was completely stunned on the dragon throne, forgetting even to breathe.
The entire court was completely dumbfounded. Forgetting all court etiquette, they all took a few steps forward, staring wide-eyed at the phone in Jiang Qing's hand, their eyes filled with extreme shock and awe.
"That...that depicts the territory of my Great Qin? It's so clear and accurate!"
"This thing can talk on its own?! It can even make human voices?!"
"That palace looks exactly like the Xianyang Palace! How could it appear completely on this small screen!"
Right Chancellor Li Si, who was always calm and composed, was now completely out of control. His eyes were fixed on the phone screen, his lips moved slightly, and he was filled with horror.
He was well-versed in politics and knowledgeable about geography, yet he could see the map of the country on the screen.
It's even more accurate and detailed than the maps he has; this is something that simply cannot be made nowadays!
Meng Tian also stepped forward quickly, staring at the content related to the Qin military equipment in the video, his eyes filled with shock, and there was no longer a trace of doubt.
Prince Fusu, however, was itching to take the phone from his father and examine it closely.
Zhao Gao collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, his eyes filled with fear and despair as he looked at Jiang Qing.
Such an incredible object, beyond all worldly comprehension, is definitely not something that exists in the mortal world!
This Jiang Qing is probably someone who traveled from two thousand years in the future!
Jiang Qing held up her phone, letting the video play, and seeing the utterly shocked expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall, she spoke calmly:
"Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, this is the ability of a mobile phone to watch videos online."
In our future, with this device, we will be able to see scenes from all over the world and learn about thousands of years of history without leaving our homes.
Even if we are thousands of miles apart, we can still see each other and hear each other's voices.
What was just played was the record and evaluation of my Great Qin Dynasty and the First Emperor by people of later generations!
After the words were spoken, the hall remained deathly silent. Everyone was still immersed in the ultimate shock brought by the phone, unable to extricate themselves.
Meanwhile, in Jiang Qing's mind, the system's mechanical notifications flooded the screen like a tidal wave, with huge amounts of shock points pouring into the system panel:
[Ding! Detected extreme shock and complete cognitive upheaval in Qin Shi Huang, granting him a high Shock Value of +3000!]
[Ding! Detected that the entire Qin court is in a state of shock and disbelief, triggering a group shock value of +6800!]
[Ding! Detected that Right Chancellor Li Si is completely shocked and convinced, Shock value +1300!]
[Ding! Detected that General Meng Tian is filled with awe and has no more doubts. Shock value +1200!]
[Ding! Detected that Zhao Gao, the Grand Chariot Officer, is in a state of extreme fear and mental collapse. Shock value +1600!]
A small mobile phone completely shattered the established perceptions of the Qin Dynasty's rulers and ministers, and made it impossible for anyone to easily question Jiang Qing's identity as a time traveler!
The historical narration on the phone slowly faded away.
Jiang Qing tapped her fingertip lightly, closing the video playback interface, and the hall instantly returned to silence.
Only the faint crackling sound of the candle flame remained.
The series of actions that just happened, which were beyond everyone's comprehension, were like a thunderclap, completely shattering the last trace of doubt in the hearts of all the civil and military officials.
None of these items could be made by the Qin Dynasty at present, nor could any of them be faked by human hands!
Let alone ordinary officials, even Ying Zheng, who was accustomed to seeing all the rare treasures in the world, was not immune.
He was clutching the phone Jiang Qing had handed him back tightly in his hand, his fingertips repeatedly stroking the cool, smooth screen.
The turbulent emotions still churned in his eyes.
The screen clearly preserved the scene inside the palace, the Qin territory that had just flashed by, and the clear voice of the stranger.
Everything was telling him that this thing was no ordinary object, nor was it something that spies from the six kingdoms could obtain.
Ying Zheng raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on Jiang Qing, no longer the cold scrutiny filled with murderous intent he had shown before.
It wasn't a half-believing, half-doubting inquiry, but rather a mixture of shock, awe, and an undisguised solemnity.
Is this strangely dressed, eloquent young man really from the future, two thousand years from now, just as he claims?
Once the thought pops into your head, you can't suppress it anymore.
The officials and civil servants had long since lost their previous hostility and stood still.
Their eyes were fixed on Jiang Qing with a mixture of fervor and apprehension. The whispers among them were barely audible, but filled with disbelief and astonishment.
"My God, what kind of magical object is that? It can glow, remember images, and even talk on its own! It's terrifying!"
"I used to think he was a spy spreading heresy, but now it seems that's not the case at all! How could an ordinary person produce something like this?"
"Indeed, the time was perfectly accurate, and they even clearly marked the territory of our Great Qin. They must be from the future!"
"We must never mention killing him again. How could we possibly provoke someone like him?"
The officials who had previously echoed Zhao Gao's calls to execute Jiang Qing by slow slicing were now all shrugging their necks, silent, their faces filled with lingering fear.
Who would have thought that this arrogant young man actually had such incredible evidence, and that his identity was something they couldn't possibly guess?
Standing to the side, Zhao Gao's face was ashen, and he was trembling uncontrollably.
He watched as Ying Zheng's gaze towards Jiang Qing completely changed, and as the attitude of the court officials towards Jiang Qing shifted from hostility to awe. Instantly, he felt a sense of panic and uncertainty.
He had repeatedly instigated the First Emperor to cut off Jiang Qing's limbs and imprison her in the imperial prison.
He was determined to kill Jiang Qing. Now that Jiang Qing's identity has been confirmed, if the First Emperor investigates, he will definitely suffer the consequences!
Unwilling to accept defeat, Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and decided to make one last desperate attempt.
He took half a step forward, about to speak in a shrill voice that Jiang Qing had used sorcery to bewitch the master.
A cold, piercing gaze suddenly shot from the dragon throne and landed directly on him!
That was Ying Zheng's gaze, not filled with overwhelming rage, but carrying an undeniable majesty and coldness.
With just one glance, Zhao Gao was rendered speechless, unable to utter a single word.
He froze, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, his forehead pressed tightly against the cold bluestone slab.
I didn't even dare to breathe, my heart was filled with fear and panic, and I dared not have any other thoughts.
Ying Zheng stopped looking at Zhao Gao, who was lying on the ground, and kept his eyes on Jiang Qing. The imperial aura around him also subsided considerably.
Throughout his life, he had always been high above others, wielding the power of life and death over the world, and had never been so polite to anyone.
But at this moment, facing Jiang Qing, this "person from the future," he knew in his heart that this person might be the key to changing the fate of the Great Qin.
We can no longer treat him like a criminal or a spy.
