Zhao Yu's knees gave way and he almost fell to his knees.
"The two of you, may I know why you have come to my Julu Marquis Estate?”Zhao Yu was still scared to death, afraid that this burly man with a baleful aura would kill him in one move.
"Tell Marquis Julu that the Young Master Zheng of the State of Qin has come to pay a visit!”Ying Zheng's voice was gentle and soothing, but it almost made Zhao Yu cry.
"Visit? Is this how you visit?”
Bloody heads, killing more than 20 people in one move. How was this a visit? It was clearly a visit to cause trouble.
Zhao Yu was almost scared out of his wits. However, hearing Ying Zheng's tone, he heaved a heavy sigh of relief. As long as he was not killed, everything would be fine.
"Yes, sir! Yes! Yes!"
Having walked through the gates of hell once, Zhao Yu reacted quickly. He hurriedly bowed and bent down until his stomach was close to his knees."Young Master Zheng, please wait a moment. This lowly one will report to Marquis Julu right away.”
Dong dong dong!
There was a hurried knock on the door. Zhao Mu reluctantly got up from his beloved concubine and said in a temper,"What are you doing here?"
"Young Master Zheng from the Proton House is looking for you."
Zhao Yu's voice was respectful, and his voice was filled with fear."Lord Marquis, you'd better go and take a look. This Ying Zheng has a very powerful subordinate who has already killed more than twenty people. Looking at his posture, he's here today to find trouble with Lord Marquis!”
"Ying Zheng? The Proton Residence?"
Zhao Mu immediately frowned. Although he knew Ying Zheng, he did not pay much attention to him. He was just a hostage of the Qin State, not worth his attention at all. He also knew that the soldiers of the Zhao State bullied Ying Zheng, but he did not take it to heart. The current Crown Prince of Qin, Lord An Guo, had more than twenty sons. It was still unknown whether Ying Yiren could become the future Crown Prince of Qin, and as for Ying Zheng, it was even more distant.
Zhao Yu stood beside Zhao Mu respectfully and told him what had happened as quickly as possible.、
Zhao Mu shook his head slightly.""Ying Zheng, you're still an eight-year-old child. Fine, let's go out and take a look!”
Compared to Ying Zheng, Zhao Mu was more interested in the burly man beside Ying Zheng. According to Zhao Yu's description, Li Cunxiao had suppressed the two guards so much that they could not even fight back. One had to know that as Marquis Julu, he had immense power in the State of Zhao. The armored soldiers under him were the elites of the elites.
Although he was usually a little indulgent, he was killed in an instant. He didn't even have the strength to retaliate. It was really shocking.
If such a fierce warrior could be used by him?
Countless thoughts ran through Zhao Mu's mind.
The door of the manor opened once again. Zhao Mu's heart tightened when he saw more than twenty corpses and more than ten heads in front of the door. However, the shrewdness that he had cultivated over the years made his expression not change much. It was just that his breathing was not very uniform.
The armored soldiers behind Zhao Mu ran out quickly with weapons in their hands. The sound of metal clashing was much clearer than that of the patrolling armored soldiers. It was obvious that the cost was higher.
In order to prevent the people below from causing trouble, there were not many armored soldiers. However, there were 70 to 80 people in Zhao Mu's residence. It was obvious that the King of Zhao trusted Zhao Mu very much. Compared to the other marquises, this was already considered top-notch.
"I don't know what Young Master Zheng is here for, but you came to my manor to shout.”Zhao Mu's gaze fell on Ying Zheng, and then on Li Cunxiao. In his heart, he was thinking about how he should bribe Li Cunxiao so that he could make this guy serve him.
"Marquis Julu, I'm here to denounce you.”Ying Zheng said blandly.
"How dare you!" Before Zhao Mu could say anything, the expressions of the armored soldiers behind him changed drastically. Their swords and sabers were about to be unsheathed, and their voices resonated with each other. In an instant, a wave of murderous intent surged towards Ying Zheng.
Humph!
Li Cunxiao gripped his sword hilt and took a step forward. His entire body was emitting a shocking aura. Just one step forward was like a landslide and a tsunami. The soldiers behind Zhao Mu immediately felt as if thousands of troops were charging at them. In an instant, these soldiers took a step back in unison, and their backs were covered in cold sweat.
One man against thousands of soldiers.
Zhao Mu's expression changed slightly, but he had not expected that Ying Zheng would have such a fierce person by his side. The gaze he gave Li Cunxiao became even more intense, and the thought of bribing him had already appeared in his heart.
With a thought, Ying Zheng knew what Zhao Mu was thinking.""Marquis Julu, it seems that your subordinates are a little impatient. Are you going to draw your saber at me?”
Zhao Mu looked at Ying Zheng in surprise. These words and actions did not seem like something an eight-year-old child could say. He waved his hand and gave a look, and the armored soldiers behind him immediately put away their weapons.
"What crime have I committed? To be able to make Gongzi Zheng come to my residence to kill people.”Zhao Mu said in a deep voice. These words seemed to be a concession, but in fact, they were interrogating Ying Zheng. If Ying Zheng was unable to tell him the reason, Zhao Mu, as the Marquis of Julu, would not be so easy to deal with.
"Of course you're guilty. Your crime is huge and will cause the destruction of Zhao.”
Ying Zheng said casually, then pointed at the heads and said unhurriedly,""Marquis Julu was in charge of the protection of the hostage residence, but his supervision was inadequate, allowing these thieves to plot against me. If it wasn't for the fact that Great Qin had some experts, they would have been killed by these people.”
At this point, Ying Zheng took a step forward and said in a loud voice,""Have you ever thought about the consequences if I die? Great Qin's cavalry is in Shangdang Prefecture. Do you think they're willing to charge into Handan?”
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Mu's forehead. Although Ying Zheng was only an eight-year-old child, every word he said pierced into Zhao Mu's heart like a knife.
Normally, it was not a big deal to deduct some supplies. It was just a small matter. If something really happened, he could just find a servant to take the blame.
However, if Ying Zheng was really killed by someone who killed his hostage, it would be equivalent to breaking off all pretense of cordiality, cutting off all diplomatic relations, and even starting a war.
After the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao had been devastated. Everyone in the country was afraid of Qin Ruohu. Although Zhao Mu had immense power in the State of Zhao, it was not absolute. He still had a sworn enemy, Zhao Sheng, who was suppressed by Zhao Xiaocheng. If something really happened, he would very likely be dragged out by King Zhao to take the blame. After all, he, Julu Marquis, was in charge of the defense of the Proton Residence.
At that time, not only Zhao Mu, but his wife, children, and entire family would have to pay a heavy price for this.
At the thought of this, Zhao Mu could not help but feel a chill down his spine. He cursed those dead soldiers dozens of times in his heart. He used to turn a blind eye to them, but he had never thought that these guys were so bold as to try to kill Ying Zheng.
"I wonder if Julu Marquis can bear the responsibility?”Seeing that the situation was about the same, Ying Zheng added another sentence. Combined with the aura of the Son of Heaven, it made Julu Marquis so scared that his legs went weak.
Forgive?
How could he bear with it?
Even the whole family couldn't bear it.
