On the plains of the State of Zhao, a large number of soldiers wearing leather armor were marching forward, but they were in a mess and staggered. However, the armored soldiers in front were completely different from these soldiers. They wore heavy armor and walked in unison.
A carriage was heavily guarded. The white-robed youth lifted the carriage cloth and heaved a sigh of relief."We're finally reaching the State of Zhao."
"Handan." The embroidered-robed man came out and looked deeply in the direction the army was advancing.
The man in embroidered clothes was called Crown Prince Dan. Because the Yan Country was defeated, he asked for peace from the Zhao Country. He was taken hostage and escorted to Handan.
The young man in white was called Gao Jianli, and he was the guard of Crown Prince Dan. He had been practicing the sword since he was young, and his skills were superb. On his right thumb, there was a small ring for practicing guzheng, and there were thick calluses that did not match his age.
"I heard that a rare thing happened in Handan of the State of Zhao.”Prince Dan took a sip of wine and threw the wine bag to Gao Jianli.
Although Gao Jianli was a young man, his alcohol tolerance was very high. He gulped it down and said,""I heard about it. It's about an eight-year-old child.”
"Tell me, an eight-year-old child was able to come to Julu Marquis 'residence alone and threaten him to give him the treatment he deserved. How awe-inspiring is that?”Crown Prince Dan said enviously.
"Crown Prince, you praise me too much. He's only an eight-year-old child.”Gao Jianli said casually.
"I would like to meet that young man. That would definitely be very interesting.”Crown Prince Dan said.
"It's just a rumor. It's impossible for an eight year old to dare to enter Julu Marquis Manor and kill all the armored soldiers of Julu Marquis Manor.”Gao Jianli said with a piece of foxtail grass in his mouth.
"The one who killed the soldier wasn't him, but his guard, someone called Li Cunxiao.”Crown Prince Dan explained.
"Li Cunxiao? I've never heard of him. Is he a swordsman?”Gao Jianli was interested. He was a zither player, but he was also a swordsman. He still had some expectations for a master.。
"Yes, I heard that he killed Zhao Mo's expert Lian Jin with one sword strike. This person's strength is unfathomable!”Crown Prince Dan let out a breath."This Lian Jin is also a disciple of my Mo Family, but he was killed in one move!”
At this point, Yan Dan sighed. He was also a disciple of the Mo Family. Although the Mo Family was now divided, he still cared about the Mo Family very much.
" Killed Lian Jin with a single sword strike." Gao Jianli found it hard to control his emotions. He had heard of Lian Jin's name before, but Li Cunxiao was actually able to kill Lian Jin with a single sword strike. He was extremely powerful. Thinking about it carefully, he was extremely terrified." I want to meet that Li Cunxiao."”
"Me too, but I'm more interested in that child.”Crown Prince Dan laughed.
"Why does the Crown Prince hold a child in such high regard? In my opinion, Ying Zheng is just an eight-year-old kid who hasn't even fully grown his hair yet. He might have come to Julu Marquis 'residence to cause a ruckus because his candy was stolen. Because the Qin country was a country of tigers and wolves, Zhao Mu did not dare to provoke him. Otherwise, he would have long been chopped into meat paste.”Gao Jianli said coldly. He was rather fearful of the State of Qin and naturally would not have any good words from his mouth either.。
" Jianli, I know that you have a prejudice against the State of Qin…" Crown Prince Dan shook his head slightly and slowly said,""But, because of this, we cannot underestimate Ying Zheng!”。
Gao Jianli touched his nose awkwardly after being hit on the heart of the matter by Crown Prince Dan.""Although I have some prejudice against the State of Qin, he is only a nephew of the State of Qin. He is not even ten years old. How can a child be worthy of Crown Prince Dan's attention?”
"I am only ten years old. Jianli, have you investigated Ying Zheng? Have you understood what happened?" Crown Prince Dan sighed softly.
"No, I haven't." Gao Jianli's face turned red. He was only a 16-year-old youth after all.
"He's very scary, Jianli. According to what I know, the soldiers of the State of Zhao had intentionally let the wolves into the camp, but they were all killed by Ying Zheng, and he was using a dagger to fight against five wolves!”Crown Prince Dan said meaningfully.
"If an eight-year-old child could kill a Zhongshan wolf, he would probably faint from fear when he saw a wolf! How could he kill five Zhongshan wolves? He was probably just bragging!”Gao Jianli still didn't believe it.
"I don't know if it's true or not, but from the information I've gathered from the State of Zhao, it's very likely to be true.”Crown Prince Dan shook his head and smiled bitterly."Even I might not be able to do this!”。
"If that's the case, then this Ying Zheng is quite formidable.”Gao Jianli blew at the foxtail grass on his nose. The foxtail grass swayed with the wind and drifted to an unknown place.
"Not only that, he only brought his guards to Julu Marquis Manor. It seemed like he was reckless, but there was a deeper meaning behind it. I heard that within a few days, Zhao Mu sent a large number of gifts to the hostage residence.”Crown Prince Dan continued.
"He is indeed powerful. He seems reckless and stupid, but in fact, he is meticulous and unexpected. Sun Tzu said that war is a way of deception, which should be used to win by surprise.”Gao Jianli finally restrained the contempt in his heart and said seriously.
"And his bodyguard, Li Cunxiao, is very loyal to him. Zhao Mu had once sent someone to give him a large sum of money, but was beaten half to death by Li Cunxiao, who said that he would be loyal to Ying Zheng until death. Although this kind of person was only eight years old, he definitely couldn't be underestimated.”Crown Prince Dan said.
"Perhaps it's because of his father, Ying Zichu. After all, Ying Zichu is about to become the Crown Prince of the State of Qin, so it's possible that he has a few loyal guards under him.”Gao Jianli pondered for a moment before continuing.
"No, that Li Cunxiao is not loyal to anyone except Ying Zheng. Zhao Mu had also used bribery methods, but no matter how much Zhao Mu had paid, Li Cunxiao was unmoved.”Crown Prince Dan shook his head slightly and said," Jianli, just like you and me, Li Cunxiao and Ying Zheng will never betray each other so easily!”。
"Really?" Gao Jianli sat up from his horse. He was also interested in Ying Zheng, wondering why an eight-year-old child could be so godly.
"I also hope it's fake, because if it's true, I'm far inferior to him.”Prince Dan said with a deep gaze,""He's eight years old this year, two years younger than me. If this person returns to the Qin country, he will definitely be a fish leaping through the dragon gate. At that time, he will probably be a huge threat to us!”
Gao Jianli could not help but fall silent. He knew that although Crown Prince Dan was only ten years old, he was still young and experienced, with a far-sighted vision. Since he had regarded Ying Zheng as an enemy, then in the future...
At this moment, a man dressed in coarse clothes rode a red date horse over. From his clothes, he was clearly a messenger from Zhao.
The messenger took out the letter from the bag, glanced at the two of them, and handed the letter to Crown Prince Dan.
He opened the Crown Prince Pill and looked through it briefly before handing it to Gao Jianli.""Take a look!"
"Yes." Gao Jianli took a casual look.
"What do you think Zhao Sheng is thinking?”Crown Prince Dan said.
"It's nothing more than showing off. They just defeated our Yan Country and now they want us to watch the military parade. They want to show off the strength of the Zhao Country to us.”Gao Jianli said angrily.
"Anything else?" Crown Prince Dan asked.
"Other than showing off, what else can it be?”Gao Jianli said.
"Who else is attending the military parade?”Crown Prince Dan asked.
"There will be the royal family of Zhao and the hostages of the other countries.”the messenger replied.
"You can go back first!" Crown Prince Dan said.
"Yes." The messenger left.
Prince Dan pulled Gao Jianli into the carriage and whispered,""Zhao Sheng's intentions are extremely sinister."
"What do you mean?" Gao Jianli said in a low voice.
"In the past, it wouldn't be strange for them to show off after defeating our Zhao State. However, when Ying Zheng killed the people of Julu Marquis, he invited us to join him, which would surely arouse suspicion. It's very likely that they want to take the opportunity to kill Ying Zheng and then put the blame on us.”Crown Prince Dan said in a low voice.
"Then what should we do? Since he invited us, we can't just turn him down, right? "Otherwise, if we offend Zhao Sheng, it will really be difficult for us to leave the country of Zhao.”Gao Jianli frowned.
"Yes, of course I have to go." Crown Prince Dan said.
"Why?" Gao Jianli said.
"Because he couldn't kill Ying Zheng, he might even be killed by Ying Zheng.”Crown Prince Dan chuckled.
