Ying Zheng left Sima Mansion and returned to the palace, only to find the five princesses in the Queen Mother's palace. He expected that the Queen Mother had called them to meet and get to know Zhao Tuo.
After having a dinner with Taigong, Ying Zheng asked Zhao Tuo to stay with Zhao Gao tonight, and then called all five princesses to his study.
The five princesses all asked him with concern about the attack, whether he was injured or frightened.
So General Ying Zheng basically told the story of how he was attacked and how he found the Zhao family.
The five princesses were all frightened when they heard this, and their expressions kept changing.
"Don't worry, this is just a small scene for me."
As a man, King Qin was inevitably worldly, and he also liked to show off in front of his wife.
Nan Su said with hazy eyes: "How can you not worry? You must know that swords have no eyes. Your Majesty, please don't put yourself in danger in the future."
Hu Yu also said: "Yes, thanks to Li Si this time, otherwise there are so many people on the other side, I can't even imagine the consequences."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? If I am caught, go and rescue me. That group of people are from Zhao. According to the prisoner, they were sent by your brother Zhao Jia."
"Zhao Jia?" Hu Yu cursed angrily, "How could this guy do this!"
"We now suspect that the prisoner framed it deliberately, and there may be someone else behind the scenes." Ying Zheng put away his smile and said, "Let's not talk about that first. I called you here just to announce a few things."
When the five princesses heard that it was serious business, they all stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Ying Zheng coughed lightly and said: "First of all, I will pursue the assassination, but I will not retaliate wantonly, because the time has not yet come, and it is very likely that the old and new accounts will be settled together by then!"
"Secondly, I accidentally found my uncle who I had lost contact with for many years. During the conversation with him, I deeply understood the common people's eagerness to live in peace."
"So I must let you know that I will unify the world at any cost and give the people a peaceful and prosperous age."
"And you are all royals from all countries, so I don't want you to become a stumbling block for me in the future journey."
"Understand?"
Ying Zheng's tone seemed very sincere and unquestionable, and he did not call himself a "little man". It was obvious that what he said was only said behind closed doors at home.
The five ladies were silent for a while, and then nodded one after another.
Hu Yu was cheerful and expressed the concerns of several sisters: "Your Majesty, you have great ambitions, and none of us will stop you. But we still want to ask your Majesty, after you destroy a certain country, can you treat it well?" Its royal family.”
The other four ladies also nodded vigorously, indicating that they had the same idea as Hu Yu.
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I'm talking about annexing all the countries, but I'm not talking about killing all the countries. If any country surrenders without a fight, it's too late for me to be happy. Isn't Nei Shi Teng the one who surrendered here? Let's take a look. The original Han Wangan, I didn’t embarrass him that much.”
Wenxuan said: "This is indeed true. I have always been very grateful to the king in my heart."
Wenxuan was originally a princess of South Korea and Han An's sister. However, South Korea was always weak in national power, so Wenxuan did not compete for favors and remained honest in the palace.
However, the more honest a person is, the more credible his words will be. Besides, what King Qin said was not false. He did not embarrass Han An and other members of the original royal family of Han Ting. They are still being fed and fed well. Although it is not as good as the original court, at least they are not treated like prisoners.
The four women looked at Wen Xuan together, then at the determined Ying Zheng, and then gave up the idea of discouraging Ying Zheng.
Nansu's status is considered to be the highest in the harem. She was the first to express her position: "In this case, we will not interfere in the king's political affairs. I only hope that if the day comes, we will treat our father, brothers and sisters kindly."
"Okay, it's settled."
This verbal agreement has been reached, and Ying Zheng has finally reached an agreement with his wives through the assassination on what he was extremely worried about.
Otherwise, if you touch someone's mother's family, what's the point?
Ying Zheng was relieved, but he heard Zhao Gao announcing at the door that Lord Changping was here.
After letting the ladies go back to their bedrooms, Ying Zheng summoned Lord Changping.
After Lord Changping resigned from the post of Zuo Xiang, the King of Qin granted him the title of Yingcheng, and also gave him a task, which was to assist Zheng Guo in building canals, and at the same time, take good care of Han An and prevent him from making any changes.
These days, he often shuttled between Xianyang and Yueyang. He was currently in the city and heard that King Qin had returned and was assassinated, so he put down his matters concerning Zheng Guoqu and hurriedly came to greet him.
"The king is safe and sound, and I am very relieved." Lord Changping said, "I wonder if the king can find out the real culprit behind the scenes?"
Ying Zheng said: "We have captured several assassins, but they all have the same caliber, but I don't really believe it."
"This time it is probably the assassins sent by Zhao and Wei. Are they pretending to be from Chu?"
When Ying Zheng went to Qishan to worship his ancestors, he encountered Wei people who pretended to be Chu people and then assassinated him. At that time, all the Chu forces in Da Qin were panicked.
Later, Ying Zheng realized the details, and this basin of dirty water was not poured on the Chu people.
At present, Lord Changping is anxious to meet him, presumably because he is afraid that this will happen again.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "You are worrying too much. Those two groups of assassins didn't even mention the word 'Chu'."
As soon as Lord Changping's expression relaxed, Ying Zheng said again: "But you also know that assassins never tell the truth. The more inside they are, the more closely guarded they are."
Lord Changping's face almost turned green, and he quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, it's obvious that the Chu State cannot have any thoughts on Da Qin now, and it is impossible for the Chu Clan in Xianyang to take advantage of others."
"Then I'll leave you to worry about this matter." Ying Zheng said, "Isn't your brother Chang Wenjun somewhat capable in this area? Then let him help me find out who is behind the scenes."
"By the way, you don't have to worry about Zheng Guoqu anymore. You have become familiar with Han An during this period. In the future, I want you to take care of their Han Ting family."
"Am I here to take care of the original Han Ting?" Changping Jun asked in confusion.
But Ying Zheng laughed loudly: "Have you ever remembered the agreement you made with me?"
Long ago, Ying Zheng made an agreement with Chang Ping Jun to let Chang Ping Jun retire from his official position and return to the Chu Kingdom to accompany Gong Ziyu to grow up. Of course, Ying Zheng also gave him generous revenge.
Lord Changping was originally not very interested in officialdom, and his ability was not as good as Lu Buwei's. If it weren't for Mrs. Huayang's relationship, he would definitely not be able to take the position of left prime minister.
Even if he was an official, he only wanted to save more money, so when it came to the choice between power and money, he still chose the latter.
Ying Zheng continued: "I came back from Chu a while ago and made an agreement with Xiang Yan. You also know this, so I want you to go there, but I have no chance."
"Whether it is the failure to detect the assassin or the failure to guard Han An, I will be able to find an excuse for you to return to Chu Kingdom to take care of Yu'er."
Lord Changping thought about it and then said: "In that case, I will accept my order."
Ying Zheng nodded happily, and Lord Changping bowed and said goodbye.
After he left, Ying Zheng went to Hu Yu's palace.
After all, this happened in the Kingdom of Zhao. He wanted to ask the former Prince Zhao, Zhao Jia, if it was possible to carry out a plan of this scale.
Hu Yu analyzed: "I feel that based on Zhao Jia's personality, he doesn't have the guts to do these things."
"What's the basis?"
"Your Majesty, think about it, if Zhao Jia was bold, he would have made every effort to regain the crown prince position when he was deposed." Hu Yu said, "If he had some strategy, he would have launched an attack when his father Wang Xian left, and How could I give up that opportunity because of you?"
"Well, that makes some sense." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "It seems that someone does want to frame Zhao Jia, and this person can't be someone else."
If it couldn't be someone else, who else could it be?
"Zhao Qian?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "There can be no one else but him."
"But he just signed an alliance with the king." Hu Yu was a little confused.
"Haha, it's just that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." Ying Zheng said, "The current actions of Zhao and Wei are all caused by the fall of Han Ting, so it is not surprising."
Hu Yu's eyes flashed, but only for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been tired all the way, and I will wait for you to take a bath and rest."
In the morning of the second day, after dealing with some political matters, Ying Zheng changed into ordinary clothes and rode towards Lishan Mountain.
After meeting Suan Ni, Ying Zheng told Suan Ni exactly what happened during his trip.
Yaizhen sighed: "I didn't let you tell anyone about Xi's reincarnation as Nian before because I was afraid that the other guardians would have opinions, especially Qiongqi. Since Suanni said this, I guess it's not a big problem."
Ying Zheng said with some fear: "That Qiongqi is really ferocious. Even though it was a surprise attack, the assassins were unable to fight back. It seems to be even more brave than Xi."
Yaizhen chuckled and said: "Because those people were not mentally prepared. They were frightened when they suddenly saw something beyond their knowledge. How could they still have the strength to resist?"
"That's true." Ying Zheng said, "But after I took care of the remaining assassins, I piled the corpses to the bottom of the valley, which was enough for them to eat for a while, so I thought I could return the favor."
Yaizhen said coldly: "Why can't I see that you are so interested in me?"
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "We are close here, so it is convenient for everything. Senior, what are you craving for? I will send someone to get it for you."
"That's pretty much it." Yazui said, "Send more cattle and sheep, and I'll send a message to Zhu Jiuyou and ask him to send you to Jiuyou. You also know that those one-eyed serpents are very powerful and will do no good. Not doing anything."
"That's true." Ying Zheng said, "Then I'll go buy it now and let him take me out tomorrow."
After returning to the palace, Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gao to prepare twenty cows and one hundred sheep and immediately send them to the Lishan King's Tomb, asking Jing Fan to help take care of them.
It should be said that in the past, it was really difficult to get these cattle and sheep together. There had to be one from the east and two from the west.
Things are different now. Since the trade with the Western Regions began, various livestock have been continuously transported back from there. Now the royal court has established an exclusive livestock farm.
Another day later, when the cattle and sheep were ready, Ying Zheng came to the royal tomb and ordered his men to tie the cattle and sheep head to tail with a rope and lead them alone into Yaizhen's lair.
Zhu Jiuyou was already waiting here, and it was Twenty-Seven who came. After seeing so many cattle and sheep, his eyes turned green. Although we often catch some animals, fish and shrimps in Jiuyou on weekdays, after all, the taste is not as good as that of cattle and sheep, and they are still fed to the mouth.
Yaizhen called Ying Zheng to his side, took out something similar to scales and handed it to him and said: "This is a dragon scale, also called a dragon slough. It is a reward from the dragon clan to our clan. Take it to Ice Phoenix and take a look. Can it give me another nirvana pill?"
"Nirvana Pill?" Ying Zheng asked in shock, "What is that?"
Yaizhen replied: "That is the exclusive item of the Phoenix clan. It can bring about the nirvana and rebirth of the beast clan. After painstaking condensation, the power of the five elements can be condensed. Ice Phoenix gave me one before, but it was used by Xi to reincarnate. , since you are looking for it this time, try to see if you can replace it with another one."
I see!
No wonder Yaizhen was able to transform Xi's corpse into a beast egg. It turned out that he had used the power of the Nirvana Pill.
If I guessed correctly, the previous Nirvana Pill was prepared by Yaizhen for himself, but he didn't want to use it on Xi.
From this point of view, it is still the roots planted by Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng collected the dragon slough and said, "Senior, don't worry, I will definitely replace the Nirvana Pill."
Yaizhen nodded and ate some beef and sheep with Zhu Jiuyou.
After Twenty-Seven had eaten and drank enough, Ying Zheng slipped into its belly.
Twenty-seven turned his body red and hot, plunged into the eye of fire, and headed straight for Jiuyou.
The last time Ying Zheng went to Jiuyou, Ji Fa and Li Si were with him. Now that he was alone, he was a little nervous.
He took out three Linggu Pills and put them in his mouth, and forced himself to calm down.
The temperature of his abdominal sac also rose. Ying Zheng wiped his sweat, closed his eyes, and concentrated on adjusting his body condition subconsciously.
After an unknown amount of time, the temperature in the abdominal sac dropped sharply. Apparently, Twenty-Seven left the red veins made of magma and entered the blue veins made of sea water.
Ying Zheng shivered and quickly adjusted himself to keep out the cold.
Strange, it wasn't so cold last time.
After an unknown amount of time, Twenty-Seven finally stopped. It seemed that they had arrived.
Ying Zheng rubbed his hands and feet and walked out of his abdomen, but was stunned for a moment.
I saw a field of ice and snow in front of me, and the cold wind blew across my cheeks, causing a slight sting.
What's going on?
