Not only was Lu Buwei surprised, even Meng Ao and Lao Ai, who were standing beside him, turned to look at Yang Chen in surprise.
This matter did not have much to do with Yang Chen. He did not expect him to actually want the hostage to return to Qin!
He was obviously not tempted by Prime Minister Lyu's attempt to win him over. He obviously didn't say that to agree with Prime Minister Lyu or to please him. Did he really think that the Prince of Qin should not be a hostage?
"Why, you guys, is there a problem with what I said?”
Yang Chen looked at them with a smile. Of course, he was not trying to curry favor with Lu Buwei. He just had to save Ying Zheng.
"What General Yang said is naturally true. I didn't expect General Yang to care so much about the face of my Qin country!”
Lu Buwei smiled and narrowed his eyes at Yang Chen. Although this guy didn't respond to his invitation, his words made him feel gratified. At least this guy wouldn't go against him.
"As an official of the Qin Kingdom, I naturally have to think for the Great Qin and the King.”
Yang Chen cupped his fists and smiled. After a moment of hesitation, he continued,
"And I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it…"
While speaking, Yang Chen intentionally glanced at Meng Ao and Lao Ai.
Hmm?
Lu Buwei was relieved for a moment, but when he saw Yang Chen's expression, he frowned and felt a little displeased.
Meng Ao and Lao Ai were both his trusted aides.
What did this fellow want to tell him without Meng Ao and Lao Ai?
He looked at Meng Ao and Lao Ai, who were also looking at Lu Buwei at the moment, as if they were trying to figure out what he meant.
Lu Buwei hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yang Chen. After confirming that Yang Chen wouldn't dare to do anything to him, he raised his head at Yang Chen, indicating for the two of them to leave first.
Upon receiving Lu Buwei's signal, Meng Ao and Lao Ai immediately stood up, bowed, and walked out of the hall.
However, before they left, the two of them looked at Yang Chen with confusion.
He wondered what this guy was going to say to Lu Buwei.
After Meng Ao and Lao Ai left, Lu Buwei looked at Yang Chen with an unpleasant expression and said,
"Alright, General Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it!”
Yang Chen looked at Lu Buwei's expression and didn't mind. Instead, he pretended to hesitate and said through gritted teeth,
"I have something to ask Minister Lyu first. I wonder how Minister Lyu Jue's Prince Chengjiao is doing?”
"Hmm?" Lu Buwei frowned as he looked at Yang Chen, then he looked at him deeply before he laughed and said,""When a prince becomes a flood dragon, he is naturally both civil and military. He is also filial, so he is naturally a good prince.”
Hearing Lu Buwei's perfunctory words, Yang Chen shook his head and laughed.
"Could it be that General Yang has a different opinion?”Lu Buwei stared at Yang Chen with his sharp eyes, wondering what this guy was up to.
"Prince Chengjiao is both civil and military, and he is filial. Unfortunately, Prince Chengjiao is not brave enough.”
Yang Chen said.
Oh?
Hearing Yang Chen's words, Lu Buwei's eyes flashed with a strange light, but he remained calm.
"General Yang said that Prince Chengjiao might not be able to do anything? Could it be that Prince Cheng Jiao was not suitable to be king?”
Yang Chen's expression turned serious as he said," For the sake of the future of our Qin Country, if you want to become the Crown Prince of our Qin Country, the future King of Qin should not only be both civil and military, but also have the courage and momentum to swallow the world. I'm just not optimistic about Prince Cheng Jiao!”
"Oh? Then who do you think will win?" Lu Buwei was already overjoyed, but he didn't express it.
" This..." Yang Chen hesitated for a moment, then deliberately gritted his teeth before he dared to speak.
"This general once heard from some people of Zhao that the hostage did this in Handan. This general believes that the hostage inherited his father's outstanding bloodline. Not only is he outstanding in both civil and military matters, but he also has courage and momentum.”
As Yang Chen spoke, he emphasized the words 'inherited his father's outstanding bloodline'.
At the same time, he secretly glanced at Lu Buwei's expression.
As expected!
Hearing this, Lu Buwei was shocked.
His eyes shone with endless brilliance, and the corners of his mouth curled into a gratified smile. It was as if he was proud, as if he was incomparably proud.
After a long while, Lu Buwei regained his senses and looked at Yang Chen again.
At this moment, Lu Buwei looked at Yang Chen with a loving gaze.
However, he was shrewd and did not show it. Instead, he smiled as he stroked his beard.
"I've also heard of it!"
Actually, he had not heard of it at all. He was just following Yang Chen's words.
Yang Chen took in Lu Buwei's expression and laughed in his heart,'It seems that this guy really thinks that Ying Zheng inherited his bloodline?'
However, on the surface, Yang Chen said seriously,
"Whether it is for the face of the Qin country or for the future of the Qin country, this general believes that we must bring the hostage back to my Qin country as soon as possible!”
Beside him, Lu Buwei kept nodding his head, his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. He was quite satisfied with Yang Chen's words.
At this moment, he finally understood why Meng Ao and Lao Ai had to leave first.
It was really inappropriate for others to be present for such an important speech!
"Sigh, it's a pity that this general's position is too low.”
Immediately after, Yang Chen's sigh sounded again.
"Haha…General Yang, you don't have to worry. Even I admire such a loyal person like General Yang. If General Yang has the heart, I will do my best to help!”
Hearing this, Lu Buwei couldn't help but laugh out loud. He had been prepared to consider rescuing the hostage, but he hadn't expected this young general of the imperial court to have such thoughts.
Fortunately, he would let this fellow take the lead and help him in the dark.
"Oh, Prime Minister Lu is willing to help? Great, with Prime Minister Lu's help, I'll definitely be more confident!”
When Yang Chen heard this, he deliberately couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He knew that Lu Buwei wanted to save the hostage, but his mission had a time limit. He couldn't afford to wait, so he had to take the initiative.
After Lu Buwei understood Yang Chen's intentions, he took the initiative to discuss with Yang Chen.
The two of them were in a good mood, especially Lu Buwei, who was in an even better mood, laughing out loud from time to time.
"Come, General Yang, this minister will toast you again!”
After a brief discussion, Lu Buwei couldn't help but raise his wine glass to Yang Chen.
The dignified Prime Minister of the State of Qin, a figure with monstrous power, toasted a young general frequently. If there were outsiders present, their jaws would definitely drop to the ground!
"Minister Lu is too polite. This general only wishes for my Qin country to be strong and prosperous forever!”
Yang Chen responded with a smile. He was also very happy in his heart. With Lu Buwei's help, he had a greater chance of saving Ying Zheng.
