Ying Qian promised several times before Ying Zheng finally felt relieved. He then looked at Ying Qian expectantly.
"Foolish brother planted all the potato seeds in the back garden?”
"Big brother, do you want to go and take a look?" Ying Qian asked with a smile.”
Ying Zheng laughed loudly.”
Following Ying Qian into the back garden, Ying Zheng frowned when he saw that there were only three guards.
"Third brother, there are too few people guarding this place!”
"This elder brother knows that third brother doesn't have enough manpower, so this elder brother will send some trusted aides over later.”
Ying Qian shook his head.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand.”
"Even though my authority is limited, I am still the King of Qin and have some people in my hands.”
"Foolish brother isn't being polite." Ying Qian smiled.”
"Three people is enough to prevent eunuchs and palace maids from sneaking in and stealing the grain seeds.”
"If there are more people, others will see through the importance of this place to us.”
Only then did Ying Zheng give up. Ignoring the artificial fertilizer that had just been sprinkled in the field, he squatted down between the ridges.
"These are potatoes?"
"Not bad." Ying Qian nodded.
Looking at the weak seedling, Ying Zheng's face was full of smiles.
Although there were only a few spots of green in the field, Ying Zheng still could not help but wander around for a long time before leaving the Hidden Abyss Hall.
After sending Ying Zheng off, the corners of Ying Qian's mouth curled up slightly.
"It's time for the second step."
"Assistant Minister Meng!"
Ying Qian shouted. Meng Tian, who was guarding nearby, immediately stepped forward.
"I'm here!"
Ying Qian said casually,"Send the carriage to the Che Mansion. Prepare the carriage and follow this Young Master out of the palace."”
"Understood!"
An hour later, a four-horse carriage drove out of Xianyang Palace and finally stopped in front of the mansion.
Seeing Ying Qian, who was wearing a long black robe, step down from the carriage, the gatekeepers outside the manor looked at each other in dismay, then hurriedly bowed and cupped their hands.
"Greetings, Third Young Master!"
Ying Qian nodded slightly.”
"Is General Wang Jian in the residence?"
The guard squeezed out a smile.”
"The Patriarch brought his entire family out of the city to hunt.”
"I don't know when he'll be back.”
Meng Tian's face darkened.
Well, the whole family went out of the city to hunt. How could they lie like this?
Who didn't know that Wang Jian's grandson had just turned one month old? Could it be that he didn't leave a family member to take care of the baby?
This was clearly because he didn't want Ying to sneak into the residence even if he had to be shameless!
"Oh?" Ying Qian smiled playfully.
"Is that so?"
"That's true," the gatekeeper said with a smile.”
"When the patriarch returns to the residence, this lowly one will definitely report the matter of the patriarch's young master's visit as soon as possible.”
Ying Qian stopped smiling and said in a low voice.
"Quickly inform General Wang Jian that this young master has a business deal that can earn a lot of money to discuss with him.”
"Hand this item over to General Wang Jian.”
As he spoke, Ying Qian took a jar from Meng Tian's hands and handed it to the guard.
"Young Master, Master…" The guard smiled awkwardly.
Ying Qian looked coldly at the door.”
Meng Tian had already placed her hand on the hilt of her sword and looked at the door with a murderous look.
The guard's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
He could tell that if he did not comply, Meng Tian would really cut him down with a single sword strike outside the manor!
The gatekeeper hurriedly cupped his hands." I'm just on duty today. I'm not very clear about the matters in the residence."”
"This lowly one will return to the residence to search!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the doorman ran away.
After running a few steps, the gatekeeper regained his senses. He turned around and took the jar from Ying Qian's hand. Then, he rushed into the manor at the speed of fleeing for his life.
Seeing this, Meng Tian said in a low voice,""There is no need to interrogate him. I know that this person is definitely lying to Young Master.”
"Deceiving the royal family is a crime of great disrespect.”
"Young Master, do you want me to kill this person?”
"No need." Ying Qian waved his hand.
"We came to visit, how can we behead the host's door before we even entered?”
In the Imperial Residence, the gatekeeper ran all the way to the main hall, panting as he shouted loudly.
"Patriarch, Third Young Master greets you!"
Wang Jian held the military book in his hand and said without raising his head,"Didn't this general say that no matter who comes to visit, say that this general isn't here?”
"Master, that's the Third Young Master." The gatekeeper said bitterly.”
"So what if you're the Third Young Master?" Wang Jian glanced at the door.”
"When Minister Lu, Lao Ai, and the King came up, I pretended to be absent, let alone Third Young Master.”
"This lowly one said that the General is no longer around, but Third Young Master obviously doesn't believe it."”
"He also said that he had a big deal to do with the general.”
"Oh right, Third Young Master also took out this.”
Wang Jian frowned slightly, put down the military book, and took the earthen jar from the doorman's hand.
"What is this?"
"Watch out for the hidden weapons, Old Weng!" Wang Ben said hurriedly.”
"What reason does Third Young Master have to kill me?" Wang Jian glanced at Wang Ben.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jian directly slapped open the seal on the earthen jar.
Immediately after, a rich aroma of wine assailed his nose.
"Hiss ~"
"Suck ~"
For a moment, the sound of greedy gasps rang out in the main hall.
Wang Ben's eyes lit up as he took a whiff of alcohol, and he subconsciously reached out to grab the jar.
"Weng, what wine is this? It smells so good!”
Wang Jian smacked his lips and forcefully resisted the urge to open the last layer of sealing linen cloth, helplessly shaking his head.
"This is a life-threatening drink!"
Wang Ben's body trembled as he looked at Wang Jian in disbelief,"Old man, is this poisonous wine?"
"Why is the poisoned wine so fragrant?"
"It's not poisonous wine, but it's better than poisonous wine!" Wang Jian sighed softly.”
Seeing Wang Ben's confused expression, Wang Jian explained,"If I didn't go out to battle, I would have closed my doors and refused to see any guests. At the same time, I would have made everyone think that I was greedy, alcoholic, rash, and lecherous.”
"All of this is to humiliate my reputation and prevent those in power from suspecting me.”
"After all, I'm already a supreme general. If I take another step forward, I'll be a marquis.”
"If those in power suspect me, I will inevitably repeat the same mistake as Lord Wu 'an, Baiqi!”
Patting the earthen jar, Wang Jian's eyes revealed helplessness.
"However, today, Third Young Master has presented me with a dilemma.”
"Ben 'er is right, this thing is indeed a hidden weapon, and it's the most poisonous hidden weapon!”
This wine smelled good and would definitely be sold for a huge profit.
How could a greedy and alcoholic person sit still after seeing such fine wine?
If Wang Jian refused to meet with Ying Qian, then the disguise that Wang Jian had maintained for decades would fall apart, and he would end up with the image of someone who was enduring hardships and trying to achieve great things.
At that time, Lu Buwei and the other three forces would be extremely wary of Wang Jian!
But what if he met Ying Qian?
Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng, and the others did not even open their doors when they came to visit, but Ying Qian was able to enter the Prince's mansion. Others would also speculate whether Wang Jian had already boarded Ying Qian's ship.
Wang Jian seemed to have a choice, but in fact, any choice was a trap!
"I admire Third Young Master's move!”
Wang Ben had figured everything out, and he was furious.
"Old Weng, we only wanted to kill enemies for Great Qin. Why did Third Young Master poison us?”
"I think that it's fine if we don't meet this Third Young Master!”
