Old Zhao, stop pretending, I already know your identity! I beg for flowers
Midnight.
Ah Yue had already fallen asleep.
Zhao Xuan suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it? Why are you here in the middle of the night?”
"Old…Old Zhao?"
Surprised, Zhao Xuan opened the door again.
Looking at Ying Zheng and the other two who had suddenly appeared, they were even more shocked.
She couldn't help but ask with a surprised expression.
"Old Zhao, why are you here in the middle of the night?”
Looking at Zhao Xuan's nonchalant appearance.
For some reason, Ying Zheng suddenly felt much better.
It was as if the troubles in the court had nothing to do with him.
Seeing him like this, she also smiled and asked in return.
"Why? Can't you come over tonight?”
"Of course not."
Zhao Xuan shook his head and extended his hand, making a gesture of invitation.
"Come, come in. You're just in time. I have something to ask you.”
"Ask me?"
Hearing his words, Ying Zheng was also stunned.
After entering, he sat down.
He seemed to have thought of something.
He laughed even more happily.
He teased Zhao Xuan again.
"What do you want to ask? Don't tell me you want to ask about the profits from the curved plow and the brown sugar manufacturing method?”
"It's not that I want to say this, but Zhao Xuan, you're too impatient. "Although the brown sugar manufacturing method is profitable, the craftsman who learned from you has just returned. There's still a long time before the brown sugar is truly on the market.”
Zhao Xuan shook his head and revealed a rare serious expression.
"I'm not talking about that."
"I want to ask Old Zhao if you're hiding anything from me.”
"Hiding from you? What do you mean?"
Looking at his expression, Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Looking at Ying Zheng's expression...
Zhao Xuan, on the other hand, was playful. He did not say it out loud at this moment. Instead, he deliberately put on a straight face and leaned over. He blinked his eyes mysteriously and said,
"I already know that Ah Yue is the Right Protector of the Yin-Yang School.”
"Old Zhao, stop pretending. Your identity…I already know.”
Look at him.
Ying Zheng's heart had completely fallen to the bottom of the valley.
He cried out in his heart.
He felt that his whereabouts had been exposed.
It wasn't just him.
Beside him, the originally smiling Wang Jian and Dunruo also instantly changed their expressions.
After regaining his senses, he hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over.
"That…Zhao Xuan, don't blame Old Zhao. Old Zhao didn't do it on purpose.”
"That's right. Old Zhao didn't tell you his true identity before because he had his own difficulties.”
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan pretended not to know and asked again.
"Difficulties? What difficulties could he have?"
"This…"
When the two of them heard the news, they were speechless.
It was not good to say anything more.
Fortunately, at this juncture.
Ying Zheng let out a long breath.
He finally came back to his senses.
He said firmly.
"Enough, Old Wang, Old Li, stop talking. Let me speak.”
"Zhao Xuan, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to lay my cards on the table. Actually, I…"
Ying Zheng's face was solemn.
However, before he could finish his sentence.
Zhao Xuan finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
Pffft! He laughed out loud.
Laughing loudly, he patted Ying Zheng's shoulder and said.
"Hahaha, alright, Old Zhao, don't be so nervous. I don't blame you. I was just teasing you. Look at how nervous you are.”
"Ah Yue told me everything. Actually, Old Zhao, you're from the Black Ice Platform, right?”
"Eh, Black Ice Platform…?"
He laughed happily.
On the opposite side, the expressions of Ying Zheng and the other two, who had been wearing solemn expressions, instantly stiffened when they heard those words.
What? I'm from the Black Ice Platform?
Shouldn't you say that the Black Ice Platform is my people?
Ying Zheng was a little confused.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Xuan was amused.
He snorted and said angrily.
"Pretend!"
"You're still pretending here."
"The people I chased after Yue that night were from the Black Ice Platform.”
"If it was someone from another organization, I would have believed your nonsense. But what kind of place is the Black Ice Platform?"
"That is a power organization that is only under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven.”
"Old Zhao, no matter how close you are, don't tell me you can still do business with the Black Ice Platform.”
"Besides, if it weren't for your help in the dark, how could Ah Yue have avoided the pursuit of the Black Ice Platform's men of sacrifice so easily?”
"There's also the Qu Yuan Li and the brown sugar manufacturing method's promotional activities. I was wondering why you said it so confidently before. Now that I think about it, there's actually the Great Qin Dynasty Hall behind it.”
"Old Zhao, it's not that I want to say this, but your disguise is really successful.“
"If Ah Yue hadn't told me about the Black Ice Platform, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark by you.”
The more Zhao Xuan spoke, the more excited he became.
In the end, he simply made everything clear.
"This…"
And hearing him say that.
Ying Zheng and the other two were stunned again.
He had thought that his identity would be exposed in this matter.
He really didn't expect this.
This would cause such a misunderstanding on Zhao Xuan's side.
However, on second thought, this might not be a bad thing.
At least with this, it was much better than directly exposing himself as Qin Shihuang.
He thought.
Ying Zheng raised his head, finally showing a smile again.
He pretended to sigh helplessly and said.
"Alright, I admit that I am indeed a member of the Black Ice Platform.”
"However, this isn't considered cheating.”
"Even if I really told you, it would at most be a white lie.”
Ying Zheng raised his head.
Because he had deceived Zhao Xuan once again, he felt somewhat guilty.
Zhao Xuan himself was completely undecided about this.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words.
He reached out and rubbed his chin as he muttered.
"No wonder, no wonder. Old Wang, Old Li's martial arts are so good. How can he be willing to do business behind you?
"So, you guys are teaming up to fool me.”
Zhao Xuan muttered.
"Zhao Xuan, don't blame Old Zhao…"
Look at him.
Behind them, Wang Jian and Dun Ruo could not sit still anymore.
The moment he opened his mouth, he wanted to put in a good word for Ying Zheng.
But before he could say that.
Zhao Xuan waved his hand and said indifferently.
"I understand, I understand. The Black Ice Platform is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor after all, so it's normal that my identity can't be exposed.
"By the way, what did you mean by calling me 'ah' just now?”
"Old Zhao, don't blame me for not reminding you. You're also considered a close minister of the emperor. You have to be careful with your words. Ever since the First Emperor unified the world, only the Ancestral Dragon can use the word 'zhen'. Don't use it carelessly.”(Zhen is a personal pronoun. It was very common before the Qin Dynasty. After the Ancestral Dragon, it became the special name for the emperor.)
Zhao Xuan said seriously.
To be honest, it wasn't that he didn't think that Old Zhao was the First Emperor.
However, the possibility of this happening was too small.
It was the same as when someone suddenly told you that your next-door neighbor, Old Wang, was actually the richest man in the world, Little Wang.
If it were you, would you believe it?
That was why Zhao Xuan opened his mouth and reminded Ying Zheng in a serious manner.
