Ying Zheng placed the hand behind his back in front of him again, unconsciously stroking the jade ring on his other hand.
This was a gift given to him by Zhang Liang. It came from Chang'an Juncheng who was killed by Xuanjian himself.
In fact, Ying Zheng has never had any ill intentions towards this cheap brother Cheng Yu.
It is normal for the children of the royal family to fight for power. Just like Han Yu secretly tricked his eldest brother, the prince, to death, he was still his biological brother.
However, Ying Zheng is not very keen on this kind of pure and boring political struggle, and his most important thing before taking power is not to target a half-brother who is not his legitimate son.
But unfortunately, the political competition is ruthless and disorderly. Driven by the conspiracy of all parties, the brother who had a relatively good relationship in the past finally chose to rebel.
Well...it was actually Lu Buwei who was in power, but it was Ying Zheng who was scolded on the surface.
It was Cheng Yu who openly declared that Ying Zheng was the bastard of Lu Buwei and the Empress Dowager Zhao that officially made this argument widely known and became so popular that even ordinary people started talking about it...
After Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, he asked with a faint smile:
"Master Xiangguo is just a hunter who uses the snare as a murderous weapon... According to this, even Da Qin is not the real controller of the snare?"
Quexie calmly and firmly answered in the affirmative, "That's right!"
"Master Shang, even I, the Qin Dynasty, cannot completely control the network of countless people spread throughout the seven kingdoms."
"The State of Qin cannot control the nets spread throughout the seven kingdoms... ha..."
Ying Zheng murmured casually, his voice so low that even a master like Que Xie couldn't hear it clearly, and then asked the question he was most concerned about right now:
"Do you know why Xiangguo is suddenly eager to kill me?"
"I don't know." Que Xie shook his head again and said, "When I realized that the net had begun to deploy manpower to target Mr. Shang, I began to secretly trace the reason, but the sun concealed the matter deeply.
No gain."
"The only gain so far is that this matter seems..."
Speaking of this, Xie's words were a little stuck. Just now he even dared to say that Qin State couldn't control the net. At this time, he was a little hesitant.
"Speak!" Ying Zheng ordered directly and solemnly.
"...It seems to be related to the one from Yongcheng."
After receiving the mandatory order, Quexie finally made up his mind to finish his words.
It's no wonder that he has worries. Involving the Queen Mother Zhao in Yongcheng is not only his boss's private family matter, but also the most unseemly kind...
Ying Zheng's reaction also confirmed that Que Xie's concerns were not overthinking.
As soon as he heard the word "Yongcheng", his originally relatively relaxed posture immediately tensed up. The hand that was rubbing the thumb ring unconsciously increased its intensity, and his face became gloomy in an uproar. The negative aura on his body was stronger than before.
It's so rich that I almost got killed.
Ying Zheng is indifferent to many things. Whether it is the delay in being crowned and taking power, or Cheng Yu's betrayal, or even Lu Buwei's assassination now, none of these can really affect his mood. There is only one exception, and that is the Queen Mother Zhao
Ji, his biological mother.
Many of her actions are really stabbing at Ying Zheng's heart, and she can't help it.
Helping Lu Buwei to evade his own son, secretly making peace with Lu Buwei after his father's death, and later openly supporting her idiot Lao Ai...
These things are the most unacceptable to Ying Zheng, not because of the shame, nor because of the restriction of power, but simply because he cannot accept Zhao Ji's behavior of harming his own son.
From the time Ying Zheng could remember, from the time he followed his father as a hostage in the Kingdom of Zhao, he felt the malice of everyone around him. Almost everyone was full of malice towards him, even after returning to the country and even after ascending to the throne.
However, the malice in the past was undisguised, but now the malice is buried under a shell of humility.
But the only thing he cared about most was his mother...
It took Ying Zheng a lot of time to calm down his mental fluctuations, regain his composure, and continued to ask in a low voice:
"Zhi Ri and others died here, how will the power of Luo Wang be transferred and changed next?"
When asked about this, Quexie smiled and replied loudly:
"How the power is transferred depends on how Lu Xiangguo arranges it. Now that he still holds the power, he must decide who is in charge of Luo Wangming. However..." But the evil words changed, "The prerequisite is that he must accept the cover of the sun."
News of death."
"Before he learned about this and made arrangements, the most powerful person within Luowang was the remaining Tianzi Yiyi."
"Jing Salamander has been identified as a traitor, and Xuan Jian has also been included in the assassination list. After exterminating the dead Zhi Ri and others, at this moment, the power of Luo Wang belongs to his subordinates, Zhuan Po, and Destroying Soul.
."
"The twin swordsmen, Zhuan Po Dei Hun, are responsible for protecting Lu Xiangguo's safety and will not leave Xianyang City easily."
But the meaning of Xixie's words was very clear. The person with the greatest commanding power in the current trap is himself.
Whether Zhenri secretly cultivated other people has no impact on this matter - without Zhiri, they would only have strength at most, no level, that is... no power!
"So...how much time can you buy?" Ying Zheng understood immediately and asked with his eyes slightly closed.
"At least until Mr. Shang returns to Xianyang City, the snare will no longer pose any threat to you."
"Okay... I hope you won't betray my trust."
"Please rest assured, Master Shang." Quexie saluted and affirmed.
"Then you can do what you should do." Ying Zheng raised Mosuo's finger-locking hand and raised it casually, indicating that Quexie could leave.
"I obey my orders."
Que Xie was about to bow out and retire to consolidate the remaining scattered snare killers nearby. Ying Zheng added another sentence:
"Also, at all costs, find out what happened in Yongcheng..."
When Ying Zheng said this, he unconsciously exuded a low air pressure, making people feel inexplicably stressed.
"Yes..."
Quexie quickly responded and left quickly.
After he left, Li Si came forward, considered it and said:
"Master Shang, it seems that the sharp blade of Luo Wang is not stable enough and may become a major disaster. If Que Xie is left to take charge of it, even in a short period of time, it may have unknown consequences.
..."
Li Si should be more reserved when speaking. If he doesn't say it directly, Xie cannot be trusted. After all, the other party, like himself, is a traitor from Lu Buwei. He can't criticize others for this, but he just follows what Quexie said about the snare itself.
A subtle reminder to Ying Zheng on the issue.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, just let him do it for now."
