Qin Mu, Zhao Ji, and the rest had been running for nearly three days before they finally escaped from the city gates.
However, the next moment, the heavens played a joke on them. Wei Wuji, the Lord of Wei Xinling, led the Wei army to Handan as reinforcements to help Zhao resist Qin.
As Lord Xinling led his army over, the people who had just left the city gate had no choice but to return to Handan.
Lady Zhao's face was filled with unwillingness, and so was Qin Mu.
They had already left the city gates, but the Wei Country army was rushing over. If they continued to leave the city gates, they would definitely attract the attention of the Zhao Country soldiers on the walls of Handan City. At that time, they would be in trouble.
"Madam, let's go back." Shen Yue sighed helplessly.
Lady Zhao remained silent, tears in her eyes. They had been living in the open for the past few days, and Lady Zhao did not want to live like this anymore.
"Mother, Mu 'er will protect you.”Qin Mu grabbed Mistress Zhao's hand, and his small face was filled with determination as he said,""As long as Mu 'er is here, no one can hurt you!”
When Lady Zhao saw Qin Mu's determined look, she couldn't help but mock herself. If even a five-year-old child could persevere, why couldn't she?
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Zhao Ji nodded.
After that, Qin Mu and the rest returned to Handan City. They stood at the side of the street and hid in the crowd. When they saw Lord Xinling leading a group of cavalrymen past, the people of Zhao around them were all delighted.
With the Wei army, Handan could finally not help but be bullied by the Qin army.
"This is the only chance. If I miss it, I might only be able to return to the State of Qin after six years.”Qin Mu thought to himself as he clenched his fists, making cracking sounds.
He was still too weak. So what if a Rank-2 martial artist had the strength of a thousand pounds?
Only a hundred battle-hardened Zhao soldiers would be able to kill him!
Martial artists were not invincible. Even Rank-9 martial artists were the same. In the face of an army of thousands, they would only die.
In the end, Qin Mu was still too weak.
"No matter what, I have to bring my mother and brother back to Qin safely!”
Qin Mu made up his mind and looked at Lady Zhao and Little Ying Zheng. In these six years, I, Qin Mu, will protect you!
…………
Ying Yiren and Lu Buwei finally managed to escape from the State of Zhao. Although they were chased by the State of Zhao, they were saved by the Qin army.
In the next ten days, Ying Yiren and Lu Buwei were safe and sound. However, they didn't expect to be hunted down again when they arrived in the State of Qin.
"Could it be that the Zhao army has chased us to the Qin country?”Ying Yiren said with a trembling voice.
Lu Buwei picked up an arrow from the ground, and after examining it, he said in a deep voice,""This is Qin Jian!"
"What?!"
Ying Yiren's expression changed slightly. He seemed to have understood something, and his face turned extremely ugly.
He had been a hostage of Zhao for eight years and had made great contributions to Qin. Now that he had finally returned to Qin, he was actually attacked!
"It seems that there are people in the State of Qin who want to stop Young Master from returning to Xianyang.”Lu Buwei's eyes gleamed.
"Then what should we do next?" Ying Yiren asked.
"Return to Xianyang as soon as possible. Only when we reach Xianyang will the pursuit stop!”
"Alright, then we will do as you say and rush to Xianyang with all our strength!”
Two days later, Ying Yiren and Lu Buwei finally arrived at Xianyang safely.
As soon as he arrived in Xianyang, Lu Buwei went to visit Lady Hua Yang's younger brother, Lord Yang Quan, and asked him to introduce Lady Hua Yang to Ying Yiren.
After everything was arranged, Ying Yiren entered the palace to pay his respects to Lady Hua Yang.
Madam Hua Yang was the most favored wife of the current Crown Prince An Guojun. However, she was unable to give birth to a child. This was the pain of her life.
Lu Buwei was also looking for this opportunity to let Lady Hua Yang take Ying Yiren as his son. This way, Ying Yiren could become the legitimate son of the Crown Prince, and there was a high chance that he would become the future Crown Prince of Qin State, or even the King of Qin!
After some preparation, Ying Yiren successfully took Madam Hua Yang as his mother, and Madam Hua Yang changed his name: Ying Zichu.
He also arranged a marriage for Ying Zichu, wanting to bring the relationship between the two closer.
Ying Zichu wanted to refuse, but for the sake of his position as the Crown Prince's Di son, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
After that, Ying Zichu got married and officially became the Crown Prince's son.
The first thing Ying Zichu did after becoming the Crown Prince's legitimate son was to meet the current King of Qin, who was also his grandfather, Ying Ji.
Zhangtai Palace was the name of the Qin Kingdom's royal palace.
"Young Master, please follow me." A monk (meaning eunuch) brought Ying Zichu into Zhangtai Palace.
In the royal palace, the old King of Qin sat on the throne. He looked a little tired. His right hand was supporting his forehead as he closed his eyes to rest.
Ying Zichu entered the palace and lowered his head, not daring to look at the old King of Qin in the eye in case he offended the king.
"Grandson Chu greets grandfather Qin!”
After kneeling and saluting, the old King of Qin slowly opened his eyes. He was almost seventy years old, and was one of the rare kings of Qin who lived a long life.
His old face exuded the might of a king without being angry. His eyes were as deep as a deep lake, unfathomable. He wore a crown and a king's robe, and he gave off a proud and aloof feeling as he sat there.
The old King of Qin sized up Ying Zichu and said indifferently,""You've been a hostage for eight years. It's been hard on you."
"Tell me, what do you want? I will give you whatever I can.”
"Everything Zichu did for the Qin Country was not hard.”As Ying Zichu spoke, he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Zichu only has one thing to ask of Grandfather Qin. I hope Grandfather Qin will agree to Zichu's request!”
The old king of Qin's expression did not change.”
Ying Zichu quickly said," Zichu was a hostage in Handan for eight years. He had a wife and two sons in Handan. This time, Zichu was lucky enough to escape back to Qin, but he couldn't bring his wife and children with him. At this moment, Zichu's wife and children are still in Handan. I hope that Grandfather Qin will send troops to bring them back to Qin!"”
"I see." The old King of Qin nodded, his face still as calm as ever.
The old King of Qin pondered for a while and said,"You can go back. I will find a way to bring your wife and children back."”
When Ying Zichu heard this, he understood that the old King of Qin was just giving him a perfunctory reply. He quickly said,"Grandfather Qin, you might not know this, but one of my two sons has an innate constitution, the same as King Wu of Zhou!”
"What?! Innate physique!"
Finally, the old King of Qin could no longer maintain his composure. He stood up with a swoosh, and his deep gaze instantly became incomparably sharp. It was as if two swords were pointed at Ying Zichu, and his body emitted a thick and boundless majesty.
"Is that true?" The old King of Qin said in a deep voice.
Ying Zichu's face turned pale as he nodded and said,"I wouldn't dare to lie to Grandfather Qin. Zichu's Meridians were all cleared, and he only took five days to enter Rank One and became a Rank Two martial artist in a month!”
"Zichu is willing to swear on my head!”
The old King of Qin's body trembled slightly, and a hint of excitement appeared on his aged face.
"Hahahaha-God bless Great Qin, Cai! Cai!"
