After Great Si Ming felt the First Emperor's footsteps leave, he slowly opened his bright eyes again and looked at the entrance of the tent. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a smile that was enough to charm all living beings.
Unfortunately, Ying Zheng, who had already left the tent, did not see it.
The reason why Ying Zheng had left the tent so quickly was because he was afraid that Great Si Ming would be embarrassed. Of course, his heart was not as calm as his face, otherwise, he would not be a normal man.
"How are the casualties?" Ying Zheng came to Zhang Peng's side and said lightly.
"Your Majesty, a hundred people were injured and fifty died in battle.”Zhang Peng bowed to Ying Zheng.
"Yes, send someone to find two sets of women's clothes.”Ying Zheng then ordered Zhang Peng.
As for those who were injured and those who died in battle, Ying Zheng did not ask too much. At this time, the laws of Qin were very perfect, and the subsidies for soldiers who were injured and died in battle would be strictly implemented according to the laws of Qin, so he did not need to ask at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Peng bowed and ordered the soldiers to look for him.
Next, because they had to deal with the wounds of the injured soldiers and the bodies of those who had died in battle, and because the soldiers were a little tired after the great battle, Ying Zheng did not urge them to hurry.
It was not until the afternoon that Ying Zheng led his soldiers and continued to rush towards Xianyang. However, because of the injured soldiers, the speed of their journey was much slower.
Great Si Ming had changed into the clothes of an ordinary peasant girl, but it still couldn't hide her proud figure.
At this moment, Great Si Ming and Ying Zheng were riding a horse together. Great Si Ming was in front, while Ying Zheng was pulling the reins behind him. Their bodies were pressed together.
Great Si Ming's internal injuries had mostly recovered after being nourished by the First Emperor's divine dragon energy. Only some external injuries were left.
Originally, Great Si Ming was walking like the other wounded soldiers, but she was limping because of the wound on her thigh.
Zhang Peng thought that Great Si Ming was the First Emperor's woman. After all, it was the First Emperor who carried Great Si Ming back. Zhang Peng and all the soldiers treated her as the First Emperor's woman, and the First Emperor didn't give any explanation. Therefore, in order to take care of the First Emperor's woman, Zhang Peng made a simple sedan chair and planned to let the soldiers carry her on their way.
However, Great Si Ming was very stubborn. Seeing that the other injured soldiers were all rushing on their own, he also refused.
Seeing that it was inconvenient for Great Si Ming to travel, Ying Zheng pulled Great Si Ming directly onto his horse in an overbearing manner, and placed him in front of him, then rode on the same horse.
Great Si Ming was used to the First Emperor's overbearing ways, but she didn't feel disgusted. Instead, she was secretly delighted. She lowered her head shyly and let the First Emperor hug her from behind. It was a warm and secure feeling.
"Your Majesty, there's a private manor not far ahead. Do you want to go in and rest for the night?”Zhang Peng saw that the sky was already a little dark. Moreover, the First Emperor's status was so noble. How could he let him sleep in the wilderness again?
"Mm, that's good too!" Ying Zheng nodded and said. He planned to stay in the manor for a night, and then temporarily place the injured soldiers in the manor to recuperate. Then, he would lead the uninjured soldiers on their journey, which would be much faster.
By the time Ying Zheng arrived at the private manor on horseback, the manor was already filled with people kneeling outside. All of them were extremely respectful, prostrating themselves on the ground with their foreheads pressed against the ground. No one dared to raise their heads.
The leader was a man with a big belly. He was the owner of this private manor called Yang Fan. He was a noble from another nearby town and had set up a private manor here.
Yang Fan was originally patrolling the manor when he heard someone reporting from outside the door that a general of the State of Qin had brought a team of soldiers to see him.
At that time, when Yang Fan heard this, he was shocked. He thought that something had happened and was shocked. Although he was a noble, he was only a noble in a small town. He naturally could not afford to offend the general of the State of Qin. Therefore, he personally welcomed the general. That person was Zhang Peng.
When Yang Fan heard Zhang Peng's words, his entire body shook, and his face was filled with joy. Because the First Emperor wanted to come to his manor for a night, this was definitely a blessing that he had cultivated for several lifetimes. It was the supreme glory of their Yang family.
Wait, His Majesty the First Emperor?
However, he quickly realized that the First Emperor had been dead for two years. However, he did not dare to say or ask. If he offended the general of Qin State, he would be in deep trouble. The current world was not like when the First Emperor was in power. There were wars everywhere and thieves were rampant.
Zhang Peng did not say much to Yang Fan. He only asked for the best house with a loft in the manor and asked all the people inside to move out. Then, he sent troops to check the house from top to bottom. He arranged for soldiers to guard it tightly and strictly prohibited outsiders from entering and leaving.
When the First Emperor arrived, Zhang Peng had already arranged everything. Then, he asked Yang Fan to bring everyone in the manor to the entrance of the manor to receive him.
"Rise!" Ying Zheng merely glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and said indifferently. Then, he paid no more attention to those people, and let Zhang Peng lead his horse to the residence.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Fan and the others hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him. Then, when they got up, the First Emperor was already far away. They could only see his stalwart back.
It was just that there was always a question in Yang Fan's mind. Was that person the First Emperor? However, regardless of whether it was true or not, just this elite Qin army was not someone he could afford to provoke.
After a whole day's journey and several battles, Ying Zheng felt a little tired when he arrived at the residence. He asked someone to prepare hot water, intending to take a hot bath.
Soon, someone prepared everything for the First Emperor.
After the First Emperor dismissed all the soldiers, he took off his imperial robe and entered a wooden bucket filled with hot water. He closed his eyes and had an expression of enjoyment.
But soon, Ying Zheng heard the sound of the door opening. He listened to the faint footsteps, and his sharp nose picked up a familiar smell, and then he guessed who the person was.
"Your Majesty, let this servant serve you to bathe and change your clothes!”A gentle voice rang out behind Ying Zheng. It was Great Si Ming.
