Chapter Thirty-Three: Behind the scenes
Ying Zheng only felt that the back of his neck was pinched by an iron claw, and the strength of his arm showed that he was still carrying his strength. Sure enough, he really wanted to kill himself. In the extreme danger, Ying Zheng became more calm and held his neck.
Feeling pain and suffocation, he chuckled:
"If you hadn't been ordered by her, how could you have taken such a big risk just because of a mere medicinal material, and now you are still staying in Xianyang, and you have to go and stay?" He had already guessed his situation at this time, and this person was not the one at first glance.
A kind-hearted person who can kill someone in a few words when he feels unhappy would not go to great lengths to take him out of the Qin Palace without killing him. The only possibility is that now that the Qin Palace has discovered that he is missing, Xianyang has stepped up its vigilance, and he has gone out.
I don't want to go, so I want to keep myself, maybe just as a talisman when I escape. But this person is really arrogant and can't stand others' anger. Maybe he will kill himself in anger before making any plans.
"You!" The middle-aged man's face was full of dark clouds, and the strength on his hands increased a little bit, but it was only a few points. When he saw that Ying Zheng had difficulty breathing, he did not increase the strength. Ying Zheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, thinking in his heart
He breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time he was filled with murderous intent.
This person has a very unstable personality. He is really dangerous. If he doesn't get what he wants, he may turn against him and kill someone. He also has no sense and patience. If this continues, it is estimated that he will lose control at some point, and he will really kill himself without any care. In the end, even if he will fight with himself.
He was buried with him, but Yingzheng had no intention of dying, so he had to find a way to eradicate him first!
The man threw Ying Zheng hard to the ground, but he was obviously still unwilling to do so. He clenched his hands into fists and then unclenched them. He repeated this several times, his face turned green and black, and his eyes flashed with sinister hesitation several times. Finally, he hesitated and took over.
Gaining the upper hand, the hand on the scabbard finally moved away. Ying Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't take action at this time, he still had a glimmer of hope. He was afraid that this person's impulsiveness would damage his sword.
Intend.
He covered his neck and coughed twice. Seeing the gloomy look on the middle-aged man's face, he didn't take it seriously. He sat on the ground and didn't get up. He just looked at him and smiled: "What, is Zheng right? As long as you let Zheng go back, Zheng
I am willing to give you a hundred catties of gold. I just need to name the medicinal materials you need, and Zheng will do his best. I can also tell my father and let you go. The matter of your capture of Zheng will be over. How about that?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he really hesitated: "Is this true?" He was indeed trapped in Xianyang now, unable to leave and afraid to stay. When he was found by the woman Xia Ji, he
He said that winning the government was just an unfavorable hostage, and he was finally sent back to the country by the Zhao people. He was going to die, and the King of Qin would not pursue him. He just killed a weakling, but Xia Ji promised to send him to the palace of the King of Qin.
There is only one hundred-year-old purple ginseng in the world, and it will not get into trouble. This middle-aged man has been seriously injured decades ago, and now the injury has become severe and has gradually become the root cause of the disease.
It's extremely frustrating. He has been working on his own secret injury for decades. He finally got the prescription from an expert. Some of the medicines have been collected. Only this ginseng with more than 100 drops is rare, let alone rare and unusual.
Purple ginseng, something like this could only be obtained by the royal family of the Qin Dynasty, which was as powerful as the Qin State and had no shortage of manpower and material resources, but it was said that it was only one plant.
He had stayed in Xianyang for two years, always looking for opportunities, so when Xia Ji found him this time and asked for nothing more than to kill a child, there was no danger and no worries, the middle-aged man was immediately moved and did not hesitate.
I agreed. Little did I know that it would cause trouble today.
That day, he originally planned to kill Ying Zheng silently, but unexpectedly this man was so alert that he woke up first. He had no choice but to knock him out because he was afraid of disturbing others and could not leave. He was also afraid of attracting the attention of others along the way.
There were many diners in the palace of the King of Qin, and there were many people with outstanding martial arts skills. He relied on his superior martial arts skills and knew that a good man has many enemies, so he did not dare to say anything along the way and brought Yingzheng back to where he had lived temporarily for the past two years.
So. But then there was trouble again. The young master Zhengyi, who Xia Ji said was not taken seriously and no one cared about him even if he died, disappeared. Xianyang City actually started to impose martial law. From time to time, warriors and knights led soldiers to search the entrance to the city.
, so that the middle-aged man was shocked and horrified, but he did not dare to kill Ying Zheng again. He was deeply afraid that if he died, he would not be able to escape. He also thought of waiting for him to be alive, but it would be useless to use him as a shield.
The idea of keeping yourself alive...
Who would have thought that this rat-defying weapon would be revealed to Yingzheng.
The middle-aged man did not dare to kill him rashly. Even if he killed him, he would get the extremely precious purple ginseng, but he might also die from it. Comparing the two, he could still tell which end was heavier. Although the purple ginseng was heavier,
It's expensive, but you have to live to enjoy it. If it dies, this thing will be returned to the Qin royal family as usual. But he is not willing to let Yingzheng go, and finally sees a chance. If he lets it go, even though
He was able to escape with his life, but his life was the same as before. On the contrary, he exposed himself and easily provoked the Qin people to hunt him down. The Qin State had many strong soldiers and horses, capable people and strangers. There were many truly powerful people. If they were really to be killed by the Qin State,
Being entangled with such a huge creature, it is really hard to die without losing the skin. From now on, I can only hide my name anonymously.
Due to various concerns, when Ying Zheng proposed such a benefit, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, as soon as he opened his mouth to ask, he immediately realized that the man in front of him was just a ten-year-old child, and it was not Qin's turn now.
He was the master of the family, so he had some vague doubts. He thought that winning the government was playing a trick on him, and he was furious at the moment: "How dare you play with someone?"
Ying Zheng's brows twitched, but his expression became calmer: "Of course not!" He pretended to rub his legs casually, and when he touched the circle of copper oil-soaked bronze wrapped around his feet, he couldn't help but feel
Overjoyed. The dagger he originally held in his hand for self-defense had already been taken away by the middle-aged man. These bronzes had been soaked in oil. They were a bit stronger than ordinary bronzes, and they were also extremely heavy and strong. With these things
, at least he was not completely helpless. The middle-aged man probably did not expect to search him, or after taking the dagger, he was extremely confident in his own ability and thought that he was just letting him prey on him, so he did not
I haven't checked if there is anything else on him.
"No? A child is just an unloved proton. That purple ginseng is so precious..." At this point, the middle-aged man seemed to realize that he had spilled the beans and quickly kept silent.
At this time, in order to show their good relations, the countries wanted to exchange proties. At first, King Zhaoxiang followed Fan Ju's advice and implemented the strategy of distant friendship and close attack. He formed an alliance with the distant Zhao State and besieged the two countries of Korea and Wei. Therefore, his mother Xia Ji was not favored.
Bastards and foreign talents will be sent to the State of Zhao as hostages. Based on this, countries send each other as hostages, usually those whose mothers are weak and unable to speak, or who are not favored. This middle-aged man thinks that he will win the political power.
The mother and son were held as hostages in the State of Zhao, and what Xia Ji said made him even more convinced that Yingzheng was not favored, so he did not believe that Yingzheng had some ability.
It's just that Ying Zheng didn't really have any intention of exchanging things with him. He already had murderous intentions in his heart, and said that exchanging with him was just to temporarily delay time. When the middle-aged man mentioned purple ginseng,
Although I don't know what it is, it should be extremely precious. Thinking of Xia Ji's identity again, I couldn't help but laugh: "Are you confused?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry again. Ying Zheng
But she was not afraid of him and sneered: "The only woman who can ask you to take action is Xia Ji. Do you think she can take such a precious thing because of her status?"
Who invited this middle-aged man? Ying Zheng knew almost without guessing that Zhao Ji was excluded from the beginning. Although this woman was brainless, Lu Buwei would not let her do such a stupid thing. Although Mrs. Rou
She was favored, but she was nothing when Yingzi, mother and son returned to the country. In addition, she had a shallow foundation in the Qin Palace and was of low birth. If the medicinal materials were really precious as the middle-aged man said, she didn't have the ability to get them.
Mrs. Huayang is capable, but she will definitely not do something stupid like killing herself. Young Master Chengqiao has Xia Ji to help him, so she can no longer intervene. The only hope is in herself. It is too late for her to defend herself, and
How could it be possible to spend a lot of money to hire someone to assassinate? Apart from these two women, the only one who is possible and whose identity is embarrassing is Xia Ji...
When the middle-aged man heard Ying Zheng say Xia Ji's name, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. He obviously didn't believe what he said, and he just laughed twice: "Young man, do you think this can impress someone?"
"What Zheng said is of course true!" Ying Zheng saw that although his expression was calm, suspicion and anxiety clearly flashed in his eyes, and his heart moved: "Although Xia Ji is my father's biological mother, she has never been favored.
He was always unable to speak in the palace, so his father was sent to the State of Zhao as a hostage. Later, with the help of Mrs. Huayang, he was able to return to the country and ascend to the throne of the prince." These palace affairs are not secrets, many people know it.
Yes, Yingzheng didn't shy away from it. Even if he couldn't tell it openly, if he wanted to survive now, he couldn't hide it for others, so he went on to say: "Xia Ji is not yet listed as the third lady.
Zheng's father is the prince, but once he becomes king in the future, he will definitely respect Mrs. Huayang as the queen mother. Xia Ji's status is embarrassing, how can she possibly get some purple ginseng as a gift to you? She is just coaxing you to work for her!"
When the gloomy-faced middle-aged man heard his words, his expression was gloomy and uncertain, and he was obviously struggling. Ying Zheng's heart moved, and the small room became extremely quiet. No one spoke anymore. The middle-aged man looked hesitant, obviously not yet.
Having made up his mind, Yingzheng didn't rush him, knowing that he must hate Xia Ji extremely at this time, and he didn't know what kind words Xia Ji used to deceive him, but the higher this man's hopes were before, he should be disappointed now.
The bigger the problem is, as long as he wavers, the chance of winning the government will be greater.
