Zhao Ji would feel in danger as long as she did not enter Qin's territory for a day, but Ying Zheng did not think so. For mother and son, the most dangerous place was Xianyang.
It is even possible that as soon as they enter the territory of the Qin State, he and Zhao Ji will face the assassination of some interested people. After all, his appearance has created suspense for the succession of the Qin State's throne.
For the King of Qin and the people of Qin, Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji have merit. After all, they have been hostages in Zhao for many years, and the grievances and hardships they suffered for many years were also for Qin.
But Cheng Jiao, who has been living beside Yiren, has a closer relationship with King Qin Yiren. His mother is also a member of the Korean royal family, but her status is much nobler than that of Zhao Ji, the daughter of a businessman.
Ying Zheng knew very well that when he returned to Qin this time, the first thing he would face was the fight for the crown prince's position. The only good thing was that he also had Lu Buwei's support, and he also secretly had his own forces like the "Xun Qin Hui".
However, my current identity and age are quite special, and I am not suitable for doing something too eye-catching. As long as I keep a low profile, learn the knowledge of this era with peace of mind, and then know how to bow to Lu Buwei, I will still become a leader without any suspense.
The heir of Da Qin.
With Zhao Ji's consent, Ying Zheng did not continue to be bored in the carriage. Instead, he followed the centurion Wang Jian and carefully asked for advice on the language and writing of Qin.
Wang Jian was very pleased with Ying Zheng's humbly asking for advice, and then he devoted himself to teaching Ying Zheng, and took out Sun Tzu's Art of War that he carried with him as a textbook for teaching Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng was not worried about arousing others' suspicion, because he had stayed in Handan as a hostage since birth, and was arranged by Zhao Ji to live in an ordinary farmhouse in advance, so he would definitely lack the authentic Qin literacy education.
Regarding the writing of the Warring States Period, Ying Zheng could only learn it from scratch, and Wang Jian was also very patient, and then the boring journey seemed very fulfilling.
Ying Zheng's fastest progress was in learning the language of Qin, which surprised Wang Jian, who was conscientious and conscientious. He saw Ying Zheng's intelligence.
As a future generation of famous generals in the Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian certainly knew that the return of Zhao Ji, Ying Zheng, mother and son to Qin meant that they were heading towards the heir to the throne of the Qin Dynasty.
In any case, Ying Zheng is one of the heirs to the throne. If Ying Zheng can think quickly, Wang Jian will be very surprised.
In the past few days when Ying Zheng had been getting along with him, Wang Jian had also noticed Ying Zheng's thoughts and showed great interest in him as a centurion. However, Wang Jian was not disgusted at all, but felt a little surprised.
"Son, you learn so fast!
He mastered the Qin language so quickly.
If you speak slower, your accent won't be any different!"
"Haha, this is all thanks to your good teaching as a master!"
"Sir, please don't call me master! I will never be able to bear this!"
"Wang Jian, you are too steady!
Do you have any plans for returning to Xianyang this time?"
"Huh? The general likes life in the military camp.
There is a high probability that he will return to General Wang Lu’s military camp!”
"Wang Jian, returning to Xianyang this time is really a blessing and a curse for me.
I want you to stay and help me, what do you think?" Ying Zheng suddenly said with a serious invitation.
"this......"
Wang Jian was a little hesitant about Ying Zheng's invitation. He knew clearly that agreeing to Ying Zheng's invitation would mean that he would be tied to the young master Zheng in front of him.
Seeing Wang Jian's hesitation, Ying Zheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Wang Jian, you can think about it slowly!
I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer before returning to Xianyang."
...
Facing the famous general Wang Jian in later generations, Ying Zheng was of course a little ecstatic. If he could really conquer this general's talent in advance, it would definitely be very helpful for his future affairs.
Even if Wang Jian was hesitant and unwilling to accept his invitation so early, Ying Zheng didn't care, because when he was confirmed as the heir to the throne of Qin, Wang Jian would still naturally belong to him.
Returning to the carriage again, Ying Zheng was moved when he saw that Zhao Ji had not fallen asleep yet and was still sitting there waiting for him.
Seeing Ying Zheng coming back, Zhao Ji quickly pulled him over, and then said with a complaining face, "Zheng'er, I think you are closer to Wang Jian than to me, your mother!"
"Haha, mother, what are you talking about?
My son also wants to learn more about Qin’s language and accent, so that he won’t show any timidity when he returns to Xianyang.”
"Well! Zheng'er, you are right!
Your father also has no conscience. He has almost forgotten us two over the years!
Mother, I can completely rely on you now!"
Hearing Zhao Ji's complaint about King Qin's stranger, Ying Zheng couldn't answer the question and could only pretend that he didn't hear it. Fortunately, Zhao Ji just complained casually and stopped dwelling on the topic.
The roads during the Warring States Period were very difficult to navigate, and because Zhao and Qin were at war for years, they would not focus on building roads.
The bumps along the way made Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng miserable. Fortunately, Ying Zheng could occasionally follow on horseback. If he had stayed in the carriage, Ying Zheng would have fallen apart.
After entering the territory of Qin, Ying Zheng could feel that Zhao Ji suddenly felt much more relaxed and no longer complained about the bumpy journey. Instead, she looked at the scenery of Qin outside the carriage with a look of joy.
Regarding Ying Zheng's original invitation, Wang Jian still did not express his position, and Ying Zheng did not have any intention to urge it, as if this matter had never happened.
Seeing the calm look on Ying Zheng's face, Wang Jian, who was still a little uneasy, began to admire him more and more. He had not yet replied to Gong Zizheng, and Wang Jian was also very worried that Gong Zizheng would be angry with him for not knowing what he was doing.
However, Gong Zizheng did not rush him, and continued to study Qin characters with him as if nothing had happened. This really surprised Wang Jian.
After another bumpy journey, everyone in Yingzheng finally saw the tall city walls of Xianyang. They arrived outside the city gate of Xianyang with faces full of joy, but they were stopped outside the city by the Qin army guarding the city.
When Zhao Ji saw that she had been stopped, she suddenly wanted to curse in anger, but Ying Zheng on the side quickly tried to dissuade her and said, "Mother, why are you so angry!
This is because someone in Xianyang doesn’t want our mother and son to come back.
The angrier we, mother and son, are, the happier each other will be."
Zhao Ji looked at the calm-looking Ying Zheng in surprise, and then said with a frown on her face, "Are we, mother and son, just waiting here stupidly?"
"Mother, my son heard that Prime Minister Lu Buwei made great efforts for us to return to Qin this time!
I believe he must be thinking of a solution!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's guess, Zhao Ji showed a complicated expression, then stopped dwelling on the matter, and then returned to the carriage angrily and sat down.
Seeing that Zhao Ji stopped making noise, Ying Zheng felt relieved and sat patiently in the carriage waiting. Pedestrians coming and going from the city gate saw Ying Zheng, mother and son, and whispered in confusion.
Of course, there are also well-informed people who know the identities of Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, and then explain the reasons in a more elaborate manner.
Ying Zheng didn't care about other people's pointing. He still sat there calmly. Seeing Zhao Ji sitting on pins and needles, Ying Zheng grabbed Zhao Ji's hand and gave her a patient smile.
The impetuous Zhao Ji calmed down.
Seeing Gong Zizheng sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Wang Jian on the side became even more shocked. It was really a shame and humiliation to be treated like this by others, but Gong Zizheng behaved so calmly and calmly.
"Sir, what you and the general said last time.
The general has already made his decision!"
"Oh? How did General Wang decide?"
"The final general is willing to stay in Xianyang and serve the young master!"
"Haha, very good!
Wang Jian, I promise you this.
You won’t regret your decision today!”
After waiting for a while, I finally saw someone coming to greet Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, mother and son, "Mr. Zheng, I am Yang Quanjun, the younger brother of the Queen Mother Huayang.
In accordance with the order of the Queen Mother, I am here to welcome Gong Zizheng and Zhao Ji back to the palace."
"Thank you, Mr. Yangquan!"
In fact, Ying Zheng knew that the people blocking him from entering Xianyang were the Yangquan Lord and the Queen Mother Huayang in front of him. Because his younger brother Cheng Jiao had always been raised by the Queen Mother Huayang, he must love and be close to Cheng Jiao even more. Naturally, he would not like to see his brother Cheng Jiao.
Cheng Jiao fights for the throne of Gongzi Zheng.
Ying Zheng, who understood everything, did not expose Yangquanjun's tricks directly. From a God's perspective, he knew that the Yangquanjun in front of him was a profit-seeking villain, and the one he should pay most attention to was the Queen Mother Huayang behind Yangquanjun.
In fact, to be more precise, what Ying Zheng needs to be careful about is the Chu State forces represented by the Queen Mother Huayang, because they have great influence in Xianyang.
