"Ah~ who is that person?" The leader screamed, turned around and saw Lu Yan and Ju Shuang. He endured the severe pain and ordered, "Kill them!"
"Kill~"
These killers from Zhao State rode directly towards the two of them. First they fired a volley of bows and arrows, and then they drew their swords out of their sheaths.
Lu Yan glanced at the poor girl. Well, I should say the girl was about ten years old. He was already furious and said to Ju Shuang, "Go and see that child. Leave these people to me."
He faced the flying arrows, and the long sword turned into a white rainbow and danced. The arrows were cut off by the sword energy, and they all fell to the ground.
Ju Shuang's figure calmly passed by, passing many killers in a blink of an eye, and approached the girl; before the killers could make a move, Lu Yan had already gotten close, killing one by one, and the number of killers was reduced sharply.
"Who are you? Why are you chasing a girl?" Ju Shuang snatched the girl away, protected her behind him, and put his sword against the leader's throat.
"The mission is not over yet, it's just death!" The leader stared at her face angrily, yelled, and then committed suicide.
Lu Yan also hoped to get some information from these people. Unfortunately, this group of dead soldiers were like silent lambs. They would rather be killed than anyone to reveal any information.
He carefully observed several killer corpses, but found nothing of value. He came to Ju Shuang and asked, "How is she?"
"It's nothing serious. It looks like he's just tired and frightened."
The girl struggled hard and said thanks: "Thank you, thank you two benefactors for saving me."
Lu Yan did not act very kindly, but said bluntly: "It just happened to happen. These Zhao knights are no ordinary killers. Why are they chasing you all the way and even coming to Qin?"
The girl was startled and secretly rolled her eyes upwards. She happened to catch Lu Yan's gaze and was startled again. She hesitated and said: "I, I was selected by the Prime Minister of Zhao State, Guo Kai, to serve Young Master Qian."
. He said that he wanted me to keep an eye on Young Master Qian and never let him get involved with Qin’s daughter. He also said that if Young Master Qian ascends the throne in the future, I will be the Queen of King Zhao... I really don’t know anything else.
.”
"Gongzi Qian, Guo Kai?"
Lu Yan looked at the girl in front of him who had gone through some twists and turns and looked a little pale. She was indeed a beautiful girl with ice-cold muscles and jade bones. Even if her face was not blooming, she could still see her charming youth. Given time, she would be a gorgeous beauty.
As for Guo Kai who sent him to Zhao Gongzi Qian, judging from the girl's appearance, she shouldn't be able to make up such a sophisticated lie. She is most likely telling the truth.
During Zhao Yan's reign, there was always a serious national problem that remained unresolved, and this serious problem was caused by himself.
The current queen of the Zhao Kingdom was born as a prostitute. When Zhao Yan insisted on promoting her to the position of queen, he offended the Zhao clan and all the nobles.
Generally speaking, when establishing a queen, in addition to her own virtue, the political power of her natal family is also an important consideration for the king. However, the queen did not have these two points. She became the queen because of Zhao Yan's willfulness.
Gongzi Qian was the son of Changhou, who was sent to Qin as a hostage. In Zhao, there was also Gongzi Jia who should have been the crown prince. Because Zhao Yan loved Changhou, the crown prince's position had been unresolved.
Gongzi Jia was surrounded by Zhao's royal family and a group of nobles. The prince moved to Qin as a hostage, and his natal family did not have strong political power. Sooner or later, they would be out of the competition for the throne, and they would definitely die.
Compared with the Qin State, where few brothers killed each other for the throne and led to the decline of the country, the Zhao State was a typical parricide maniac. There were eleven large-scale mutinies and civil strife among the twelve generations of kings.
The only person in the Zhao court who could have the same interests as Zhang Hou was Guo Kai. The girl Guo Kai sent was not just to find a Zhao woman for the young master, but her origins should not be ordinary civilians either.
Lu Yan didn't care about the things the girl concealed. It was just human nature and there was nothing worth worrying about.
He walked to the damaged carriage, looked at it, and said: "I saved you by chance. I was just going to Xianyang and sent you to Zhao Gongziqian's house. This carriage can't be used. The two of you will share it."
Take a ride."
Ju Shuang nodded in agreement and led his horse over.
The girl looked at Lu Yan and Ju Shuang again, and plucked up the courage to say, "My name is Jin, Zhao Jin. I dare you to ask the names of these two benefactors, and allow me to repay you in the future."
"No need. If you want to thank, just thank the charioteer. He drove the car on the road that I must pass, otherwise I would not mind this business. Let's go, drive~"
Ju Shuang helped the girl get on the horse and comforted him: "Don't take it to heart. My young master is just like that. He doesn't speak well. Let's go. As long as you enter Hangu Pass, there will be no more Zhao people chasing you."
"
"Young Master..." Zhao Men muttered, and there was a murmur in his heart. There are currently no young masters in the Qin State... none of whom can match him. Could it be that they are not from the Qin State...
The three of them galloped towards Hangu Pass, leaving corpses all over the ground. After a long time, another group of Zhao knights ran out on the plain and ran towards them when they saw the scene here.
"Xu~"
The leader turned over and dismounted, scanned the scene with tiger eyes, and asked doubtfully: "The murderer is extremely powerful in martial arts. Zhao Qian actually has such a master in Qin to help him. Could it be that he was sent by Guo Kai to help?"
The subordinate asked: "Sir, the target should have entered Hangu, what should we do now?"
"Take care of this place and report back to your Majesty."
"promise."
It was relatively close from Hangu to Xianyang. Lu Yan arrived at Xianyang in a short time at high speed. If he hadn't taken care of the weak Zhao Qui, the speed might have been even faster.
After entering the city, he paid someone to send Zhao Qui to Zhao Qian's Mansion in Zhao Guo Posthouse, and he and Ju Shuang went directly back to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
The little girl Zhao Kuan was confused. How could the handsome man and the beautiful woman be so cold when they were fighting swords in the world? This was completely different from the stories about heroes in the world that she had heard before in Zhao Kingdom.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, she could not ignore the doubts in her heart. After all, she was about to meet the man she relied on for her whole life, Gongzi Qian.
Zhao Qian, now only sixteen years old, had always been famous for his bad conduct in Zhao State, and was often complained to Zhao Yan by the clan nobles. Zhao Yan threw him to Qin State as a hostage, probably because he had a headache that this boy was not doing his job properly.
Do it, cause trouble, and throw it to the Qin State for a few years to reform, and maybe you will become honest.
This point is worth mentioning about the Qin State. The hostages of the royal families of various countries must abide by the Qin Law. If they dare to break the law, the Qin State will dare to use punishment according to the Qin Law.
Zhao Qian lived honestly in the State of Qin and wanted to return to the State of Zhao every day. Hearing that someone came from the State of Zhao, he came out happily and saw that she was just a good-looking girl who could not help him return to the country. He instantly became interested.
Excitement wanes.
"Who are you, and what do you want from me?"
Zhao Jian lowered his eyebrows and replied obediently: "Jian came here to serve the young master on the order of the queen. Because he was hunted down by the Zhao Kingdom on the road, all his servants were slaughtered. Fortunately, he met a noble man on the road and helped him, so he was able to delay the time.
Meet the young master."
Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, and then questioned: "Huh? You said you were sent here specially by mother, and you are still being hunted down? Who in Zhao country dares to hunt down people sent by mother? It's a joke."
"The people who are chasing me are from Gongzijia."
"Brother!"
"Since the young master came to Qin as a hostage, the queen has sent many people to help the young master, but they were all intercepted and killed by the men sent by the young master. He, and many forces around him, all hope that the young master will live in Qin forever and not
Thinking of Zhao State."
Zhao Qian suddenly got angry and scolded Zhao Jia, "You bastard, I regard him as my brother, but he wants to assassinate me. You said you were sent by my mother to help me. You don't look more than 11 or 12 years old. What can you do?"
What's the point?"
Seeing that he was moody and angry, easily led by words, and obviously not very bright in his mind, Zhao Kuan was a little disappointed in his heart, but he couldn't show it at all, "Young master, you can not believe me for the time being, but you should at least trust the queen."
