Zhao Ji only felt that her eyelids were twitching these days, as if something ominous was about to happen.
It was already approaching dusk. She sat in the courtyard, looking after her sleeping child beside her, and sighed softly.
I wonder when Zi Chu will succeed.
If a person has never seen the light, then he will not care about the eternal darkness in front of him.
But if you have seen the sun and experienced the sounds, colors, lights and shadows of the world, how can you be willing to fall into the endless silence of death?
Two years ago, the State of Qin sent General Wang Jue and his troops to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and Zhao State wanted to kill Zi Chu.
Zichu conspired with Lu Buwei and bribed the officials guarding the city with a lot of money. They were able to escape, fled to the Qin army's camp, and returned home smoothly.
Zhao Ji still remembers what Zichu said to herself when she left:
"Wait until I come back to pick you up."
It is easiest for women to trust the promises of those they love, and Zhao Ji's life seems to have hope.
She counted the time to get by, but she was worried all day long.
"May Zheng'er be safe and happy."
Zhao Ji looked at the sleeping Zhao Zheng softly, and then stared at the flowing clouds outside the sky.
Without this child, she might not be able to persist.
"Dong dong dong!"
Zhao Ji was just thinking about something when she suddenly heard bursts of rapid and rude knocking from outside the door.
Then, before she could get up, she saw the door being slammed open.
More than a dozen armored soldiers filed in, with a hint of murderous cruelty in their eyes.
They ignored Zhao Ji who was sitting in the inner hall and began to destroy everything.
The noisy sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets woke up Zhao Zheng, who was still sleeping.
The child, who was in his early four years, immediately started crying.
"You! Presumptuous!"
Zhao Ji and these soldiers were so unscrupulous, their expressions changed.
She forced herself to speak, but the soldiers didn't seem to hear her.
Within a moment, the house was in a mess and the soldiers swaggered away.
Before leaving, a guard with a scar on his face who seemed to be the leader even stared at Zhao Ji.
The inexplicable look in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"Mother, what do they do?"
Four-year-old Zhao Zheng cried a lot and was comforted by Zhao Ji for a long time.
He was still young, and his face looked a little pale when he was frightened by this.
"Zheng'er, don't be afraid, they don't dare to hurt anyone."
Zhao Ji's knuckles turned blue when she saw how the poor house was destroyed.
She patted Zhao Zheng on the back, but her trembling body also revealed her fear.
Why did Zhao's Jiawei suddenly come to destroy the house?
And the meaning behind the eyes of the last leader made her feel numb in the back of her head.
"Zheng'er, are you hungry? I'm going to make some food for you."
Zhao Jiping recovered for a long time, and finally stood up with strength.
She walked to the stove and saw that the grain vats were broken, and she felt angry again.
After washing up, we lit up the stove and cooked some meals.
That night, both mother and son were worried and scared, and they couldn't rest well all night.
But what they didn't expect was that in the next few days, those soldiers would arrive every day.
"It's too much!"
On the fifth day, Zhao Ji retreated to the corner, her hair disheveled, and a short dagger in her hand.
The leading soldier just now actually grabbed her by the skirt of her clothes.
If she hadn't been on guard and hid a dagger to kill both the jade and the stone, she would have been humiliated by now.
"Mother! They have left!"
Zhao Zheng tried hard to push the dagger away from Zhao Ji's hand, with a hint of panic in his expression.
He felt that in just a few days, the cruel side of the entire world had completely unfolded before his eyes.
...
"Is this Ying Zheng's biological mother, Zhao Ji?"
Above a stream of light clouds, Duan Zhen, Meng Qi and his party were floating fifty meters above the ground, silently overlooking the dilapidated house and what had just happened inside.
Exterior scenes can extract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense clouds, and controlling the air is just a common method.
"Being a proton is like walking on thin ice and you can't help yourself."
Zhao Heng sighed far away. He felt that Ying Zheng's current situation was something that would happen to him in the future.
"Why didn't you let me take action just now?"
Jiang Zhiwei's eyes flashed with a sharp sword aura, and she stared at Duan Zhen who stopped her, her tone was a bit sullen.
The swordsman can bring justice to the injustices in the world. Seeing this scene, she could not endure it.
If Duan Zhen hadn't stopped her, she would have killed those armored guards with a single stroke of his sword.
"Yeah, yeah! Those people are so bad!"
Ruan Yushu pumped her fists. She wanted to take action just now, but was also stopped by Duan Zhen.
"Have you received the reminder?"
Duan Zhen did not answer the two women's questions, but withdrew the mental energy in his eyes and turned to look at Meng Qi.
At this time, five or six days had passed since they entered the territory of Zhao State.
After wandering all the way, I finally found where Zhao Ji was.
"No."
Meng Qi shook his head. He, Zhao Heng, and Qi Zhengyan had not taken action just now, but were thinking about something.
He knows more about what happened in this era than his teammates.
Naturally, he is also deducing when the mission of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation will appear again.
"Isn't this all true..."
Duan Zhen nodded, although he was a little confused, but he didn't say much.
He thought carefully about how to contact Ying Zheng in this period.
According to history, Ying Zheng was not sent back to Qin until he was ten years old.
Could it be that the time has not come yet?
"Let's go down and take a look first."
After a long time, Duan Zhen and Meng Qi looked at each other and finally made a decision.
Meng Qi slowly controlled the clouds and landed outside the door where Zhao Ji was.
After landing, they no longer concealed their aura, but stepped straight into the house.
"You! How dare you come!"
Zhao Ji, who looked a little empty on the side, saw someone coming again and immediately picked up the dagger.
There was a trace of determination in her eyes at the moment, but after seeing everyone, she was stunned.
It seems that these people have never been seen before?
"Mrs. Zhao, don't worry, we are not evil people."
Duan Zhen paused and spoke softly.
Women are naturally weak, but mothers are strong.
This Zhao Ji stayed alone in the Kingdom of Zhao, with a young Ying Zheng as a hostage, which is really amazing.
Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu immediately stepped forward to comfort and calm her emotions.
Duan Zhen and the others stood in the room and began to think.
They glanced vaguely at Ying Zheng, who was staying next to Zhao Ji. He should be called Zhao Zheng at this time.
"No tasks were triggered, and Liudao still cannot be contacted."
Meng Qi shook his head slightly, obviously unable to understand why he still couldn't contact the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation.
At this time, he no longer concealed his title of "Lord God", but spoke frankly.
"Could it be that this person is not Ying Zheng?"
As soon as Duan Zhen had this doubt, he immediately denied it.
They had conducted a thorough investigation in the past few days and were able to confirm that this person was Ying Zheng.
But why doesn’t the Book of All Heavens trigger any tasks?
"perhaps..."
Duan Zhenzhen was about to speak, but found that the void in front of him suddenly fluctuated violently.
"Boom boom boom!"
At this moment, it was as if the entire air turned into water.
Layers of unimaginable ripples filled the vision.
Duan Zhen only felt that everyone around him began to stagnate, and even all the sounds, colors, lights and shadows were freezing.
There seemed to be something roaring in the void, trying to break through the air from beyond these layers of ripples.
"what?!"
Duan Zhen seemed to see layers of phantoms, like human figures, about to step out of the ripples.
The aura emanating from those humanoid figures made him feel boundless fear and a sense of impending disaster just by looking at them!
"this..."
Except for Duan Zhen, among the other five people, only Meng Qi turned his head with difficulty.
His cultivation level is the highest among his team, and he obviously saw this seemingly endless group of humanoid shadows.
Destruction, violence, and boiling power surge endlessly.
Duan Zhen even saw a piece of air beside Ying Zheng, and he had already stretched out a knuckle!
The knuckles were covered with countless mysterious and inexplicable lines. Just looking at them made me feel hazy and lost.
"What the hell!"
Duan Zhen wanted to use his fist to break through the ambiguity around him, but found that he was stuck in a quagmire, getting heavier and heavier as he moved.
In the next moment, his thoughts will be completely unable to move.
And in his sight, the finger that stretched out towards the child Ying Zheng from the ripples in the void was almost touching him!
"This power..."
Duan Zhen's eyes shrank. In his senses, this finger that was just protruding out surpassed all the masters he had seen along the way.
Even...even when he used the supreme method of inviting gods, the Ba Liming he saw was not as powerful as this finger!
Just one finger!
"Ying Zheng is going to die..."
Duan Zhen had already seen the finger pointing at the child Ying Zheng, just a hair away, and even the corners of his clothes were touching.
But in those billions of seconds, the child Ying Zheng, who was standing still, suddenly turned his head.
Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be endless light all around.
