The moment he stepped into Xianyang Palace, Ying Qian's straight back suddenly bent.
He inadvertently moved his feet and closed the distance between him and Meng Tian. His eyes looked around in panic, his expression perturbed.
If anyone else were to take a look at him, they would not think that Ying Qian was the peerless warrior who had slaughtered thirty men of sacrifice on a rainy night.
On the contrary, they would feel that Ying Qian had just experienced great fear and that he could only feel a trace of safety by hiding beside Meng Tian.
Meng Tian was speechless.
Meng Tian looked at Ying Qian blankly.
Young Master, are you hiding beside me to seek a sense of security?
To be honest, if there really are assassins in Xianyang Palace, wouldn't it be safer to be by your side?
Seeing Meng Tian's gaze, Ying Qian secretly blinked.
Meng Tian came to a sudden realization and stepped forward, placing her hand on the hilt of her sword.
"Young Master, don't worry. Now that you've entered Xianyang Palace, no one will dare to attack you.”
"Even if someone really dares to assassinate you, as long as I have a breath left, I won't let anything happen to you!”
Ying Qian hurriedly pretended to be panicked and nodded."You must protect this young master's safety!”
"As long as you survive tonight safely, I will reward you greatly!”
"This Young Master doesn't have anything else but money!”
Seeing this, the ten personal guards could roughly guess the reason behind Ying Qian's attitude and cupped their hands together as they shouted.
"Understood!"
As he shouted, the ten bodyguards looked at each other, and they could see the deep respect in each other's eyes.
As expected, Young Master must have practiced martial arts in secret often to have such powerful martial arts.
It was just that Young Master usually hid it away.
His young master's forbearance was truly admirable!
They dragged their way into the Palace of Xianyang, but before they reached the royal study, Ying Qian saw Ying Zheng striding over with an anxious look on his face.
"Third brother!"
Looking at Ying Qian's bloody body, Ying Zheng's legs gave way, and he almost fell to the ground.
Looking at the ninety-odd broken limbs and skeletons not far away, Ying Zheng roared in rage.
"Who was it? Who assassinated my third brother?”
"My second brother is already dead. Now, only this third brother is left, and you still won't let him go?”
"Previously, it was second brother. Now, it is third brother. Are you going to assassinate me next?”
Now, Ying Zheng's father, grandparents, and second brother had all passed away, and he had no feelings for the other royal brothers.
Although Ying Zheng still did not know about the current plot between Lady Zhao and Lao Ai, just the fact that Lady Zhao's life was so chaotic that it made one's hair stand on end when she was in the State of Zhao made Ying Zheng lose all feelings for her.
Ying Qian could be said to be Ying Zheng's only reliance on his family, and the only person he could trust completely. He was also the third brother that Ying Zheng had taken care of since he was young, and the one he loved the most.
Ying Zheng did not dare to imagine how much of a psychological blow he would suffer if Ying Qian died as well.
Ying Zheng was really furious!
The veins on Ying Zheng's neck could be seen clearly, and his eyes had already turned a tinge of red.
All the eunuchs, eunuchs, female officials, and palace maids nearby knelt down and shouted in fear.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty!"
When the emperor was angry, millions of people died.
Now that the King of Qin was angry, who wouldn't be frightened?
Ying Qian cried out and ran over.
"Big brother!"
Ying Zheng was about to say a few words of comfort after being hugged by Ying Qian in excitement, but he heard Ying Qian's calm voice.
"I'm fine. None of the ten personal guards and the assistant minister died in battle. Those ninety corpses were all assassins. From this, it can be seen that my foolish brother's side has always had the advantage and is not in danger.”
"Eldest Brother, don't worry."
"There are a total of eighty men of sacrifice and five crossbowmen, all equipped with imperial army standard Qin crossbows.”
"From the beginning of the assassination to the arrival of the city guards, it took a total of two incense sticks of time.”
"The mastermind behind this assassination is Lao Ai, and the executor is Qiu Jie, who has already been killed by my foolish brother. The one who finished it off is Zhao Si, who is now in the palace.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng hurriedly looked at Meng Tian and the others.
Seeing that none of them had died even though they were all injured, Ying Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Ying Qian with a gratified look in his eyes.
To be able to remain so calm even after being assassinated, and even directly kill the executor and plot against the mastermind.
This temperament is indeed my brother!
As his worries dissipated, the anger in Ying Zheng's heart grew stronger and stronger.
Patting Ying Qian, Ying Zheng said coldly.
"Summon the three dukes and nine ministers, the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and county magistrate of Xianyang City to enter the palace!”
"Third brother, please sit in the royal study first. With this brother here, no one can hurt you!”
Upon hearing this, Meng Tian and the others revealed strange expressions.
No one could hurt Ying Qian anymore?
To be honest, with Ying Qian's combat power, the ones who should be worried about getting hurt should be Ying Qian's enemies, right?
The messenger immediately rode out of Xianyang Palace. In less than an hour, the three dukes and nine ministers gathered in the royal study.
"Your Majesty!"
Lu Buwei, who was still wearing his pajamas, was the last one to enter the hall. He raised his head and saw Ying Qian sitting weakly on the left side of Ying Zheng, his face full of fear and confusion.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Lu Buwei frowned.”
"The corner market that the Third Young Master and General Wang Jian have cooperated to open is opening today.”
"Third Young Master was assassinated by eighty-five men of sacrifice on his way back to Xianyang Palace after a day of guarding Jiaodi Square.”
"Fortunately, Assistant Minister Meng Tian's martial strength was astonishing, so he was able to repel the enemy and survive.”
"The mastermind behind this matter was Zoge Qiujie, and he was killed on the spot.”
Lu Buwei looked at Meng Tian strangely.
What did Montessori say a month ago?
Meng Tian felt that serving Ying Qian was an insult, so the Meng family wanted to join Lu Buwei?
If Meng Tian was really so against Ying Qian, would she risk her life to save him?
For a moment, Lu Buwei's loyalty to the Meng Clan was in doubt.
" Assassination in the capital of Great Qin, Long Street!" Ying Zheng said coldly.”
"The one who assassinated him was the third young master of Great Qin!”
"I would like to ask my beloved ministers, is Great Qin in danger?”
"Will I be the next to be assassinated?”
Lu Buwei's henchmen were anxious and immediately cupped their hands.""King, please calm down!"
" Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Lu Buwei shouted." Assassinating the young master of the Great Qin royal family is a huge matter."”
"This Prime Minister will definitely give the King an explanation!”
As he spoke, Lu Buwei's eyes shone with killing intent.
Lao Ai had gone too far!
If they wanted to assassinate Ying Qian, they should at least charge him with treason.
After all, even if Ying Qian wasn't good at literature or martial arts, he was still a young master of the royal family.
Now, it was Lu Buwei who was in charge of the Imperial Court on behalf of Ying Zheng. If Ying Qian was really assassinated today, Lu Buwei would not be able to absolve himself of the blame.
Under such circumstances, Ying Zheng might even take the opportunity to govern the country himself!
