After a long journey, Ying Xuan had finally returned to Xianyang. However, he did not enter the city directly. Instead, he went to the Lantian camp first, and had Ah-Zhong report to him earlier.
"Second Young Master, you're finally back.”Wang Jian finally heaved a sigh of relief. If anything happened to Second Young Master outside, Wang Jian could already foresee his own outcome.
"General Wang Jian, haven't I returned? You have to enter the palace to see father first." Ying Xuan jumped off the carriage and stretched his shoulders.
Ying Xuan sighed. Sister Startling Salamander's embrace was still comfortable, much better than this broken horse carriage.
Not long ago, the Startling Salamander had already gotten off the car and returned to Xianyang in advance to avoid suspicion from the net. Xuan Jian also brought his wife and daughter into the city.
With the gold that Ying Xuan had gotten from Wei Yong, Xuan Jian was not worried about the money needed to settle his wife and daughter.
Only Ying Xuan needed to make a detour to the Lantian camp before returning to Xianyang. After all, he had said that he would come with Wang Jian to experience the life in the camp before leaving the palace.
Therefore, Ying Xuan felt that the last part of the journey was a little torturous. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
"That's right. After Ah-Zhong came to report just now, I sent someone else to inform the king in advance. I believe that the king will summon the second young master as soon as we return.”
Wang Jian had done things very appropriately, and Ying Xuan did not have any objections either. He once again boarded the carriage with Wang Jian and headed towards Xianyang.
After another bumpy journey, they arrived at the Qin royal palace. Ying Xuan immediately summoned them to Zhangtai Palace, and even asked Wang Jian to bring two bags for him.
Wang Jian naturally wouldn't object. He took the bundle and followed Ying Xuan into the inner hall of Zhangtai Palace.
As usual, Ying Zheng was sitting on the high platform, reading many bamboo slips, preparing himself for the coming 21-year-old, when he was about to rule the country personally, and preparing himself to display the great ambition in his heart.
But this time, Ying Zheng was slightly different. Before this, Ying Zheng was alone, but this time, after Ying Xuan returned, there were three more people in front of the lotus pond in Zhangtai Palace, two civil servants and one warrior.
One of them seemed to be a little old, with white hair. The other was still middle-aged, but his movements were very clean and neat. He was a talent who could handle heavy affairs.
That armored general was similar to Wang Jian, but he was probably younger than Wang Jian. However, his battlefield aura was very strong, and it was obvious that he was a general who was good at fighting.
What surprised Ying Xuan the most was that behind the lotus pond and in front of the stairs on the platform, the young man holding the sword was none other than Ge Nia, a familiar person whom Ying Xuan had fooled before.
Ying Xuan had never expected Ge Nia to bid farewell to Guigu 'zi so quickly and come straight to the Qin royal palace in Xianyang!
From the looks of it, he was really a man of action. He left without hesitation.
Ge Nia knew the rules very well. Ying Zheng hadn't even opened his mouth yet, so it wasn't appropriate for him to greet Ying Xuan directly. Therefore, he didn't overstep his boundaries and merely nodded slightly to Ying Xuan.
"Hmph, you still know how to come back." Ying Zheng had summoned so many people this time, so he would not ignore Ying Xuan like he did last time,""How did it go? Have you dealt with the assassins from the Network?”
However, at the same time, Ying Xuan could even see that in Ying Zheng's eyes, there was a luster that indicated that his heart had finally calmed down, which meant that Ying Zheng had been worried about him all along.
This made Ying Xuan's heart warm. It seemed that this Emperor really cared about his children.
Ying Xuan also knew that for Ying Zheng to be able to speak of this matter so frankly, it meant that everyone in the middle hall was Ying Zheng's trusted aide, and they were all trustworthy people who could tell him the truth without worry.
Therefore, Ying Xuan tried his best to describe the entire process of his journey in a short and concise manner, leaving out some unnecessary details.
Persuading the Startling Salamander, cooperating with the nameless swordsman, making Xuan Jian return to his heart, deceiving Wei Yong to bury Wei Wu's soldiers, persuading Zongheng, and so on were all mentioned.
Ying Zheng was not the only one who was dumbfounded by what he heard. The few trusted aides of Ying Zheng were also filled with emotions as they looked at Ying Xuan in disbelief.
Before they came here, they had already heard from Ying Zheng in private that the Second Young Master was extremely talented. He was only four years old, but his talent and intelligence were unparalleled, and he was already capable of stirring up the imperial court.
Other than Wang Jian and Ge Nia, the other three were also listening to Ying Zheng respectfully, but in their hearts, they were more or less disapproving.
These were all older people. Which one of them didn't have descendants? If their descendants performed slightly better, they would go around bragging to other adults about how strong and powerful their children were.
However, they were often exaggerating. They knew very well what their children were like.
Therefore, when they first heard about Ying Xuan, the three of them had all been respectful towards Ying Zheng. On the surface, they all admired this Second Young Master, but in their hearts, they only regarded Ying Xuan as a relatively smart child.
They believed that Ying Xuan would not be able to stir up the current situation in the Imperial Court.
However, after seeing it today, and hearing what Ying Xuan had said, the three of them nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets. They had subdued two first-class assassins of the Network, and even buried the elite soldiers of the Wei Kingdom!
They would not be able to accomplish either of these two major tasks! However, this Second Young Master had already succeeded. If they still couldn't see Ying Xuan's intelligence, they wouldn't be worthy of standing in Zhangtai Palace.
The three of them bowed respectfully towards Ying Xuan, expressing their sincere admiration.
Ying Zheng nodded silently. How could he not see through their little thoughts? He had asked Ying Xuan to say it out loud so that these trusted aides would know that Ying Xuan's ability was even above theirs!
"Alright, well done. Let me introduce you first. This is Wang Wan, an old official of my Qin country who has served three generations of emperors.”
"This is Feng Quji. He is quick-witted and practical.”
"This is General Meng Wu, the son of the former Great General Meng Ao of our Qin country.”
"Lastly, this Mister Ge Nia is from Phantom Valley. I'm sure you're familiar with him. Mister Gai has praised you quite a bit.”
Ying Zheng and Ying Xuan made introductions, while the others hurriedly bowed with their hands clasped together to show their modesty.
But Ying Zheng suddenly changed his tone." Ever since the Shang Lord, the Qin Kingdom has punished all wrongdoings and rewarded all meritorious deeds!" Ying Xuan, what you have done this time is a great contribution.”
"It can even be said that you have contributed more than half of the credit for burying the soldiers of Wei who have been blocking our Qin Country's iron hooves for so long.”
"Do you have any rewards you want? I'll let you choose."
